Most of these famous Fujian scholars were frustrated in the officialdom and pursued popularity among the people. It was their common dream to be able to keep their poems through the ages. Guo Zhiyuan's words made them realize something and were a little moved. They picked up the sweet potatoes and food in front of them and tasted them. They turned their eyes light up as soon as they ate them. It seemed that they were not as difficult as Huang Liu said, and they nodded and praised them.

Huang Liu was anxious at a glance. He was a fool and wanted to argue with Guo Zhiyuan but there was no goods. However, there were a few of them in the slap of his slap. Seeing this, he quickly mocked Guo Zhiyuan: "Mr. Guo's argument is unconventional, and we really don't agree with it. We heard that the farmer and barbarians were circulating a poem "I love sweet potatoes" along the way. I heard that it was written by Lord Guo. This poem is not well-versed, so can it be called a poem? Haha!..."

Before Guo Zhiyuan could respond, Leng Xianning was angry first. How could she tolerate others attacking her? She immediately scolded: "Mr. Guo's literary talent, all the famous Fuzhou scholars who participated in the Xichan Temple Poetry Festival in the past year have seen it. Except for the toad poem, the poems in Mr. Huang's "Qiujian Collection" are probably not a single poem written by Mr. Huang, but they are all written by Mr. Guo? Among them, the capitals are wonderful poems. What qualifications do you have to question Mr. Guo? It's ridiculous to say that Mr. Guo's literary and scientific knowledge is not understandable? It's ridiculous!"

Huang Liu could not have imagined that Leng Xianning would be so merciless, so he directly exposed the truth that his "Qiu Jian Collection" was written by Guo Zhiyuan. He immediately became angry and said in anger: "Miss Leng is too much, what do you have to say that "Qiu Jian Collection" was not written by this young master?!..."

Leng Xianning knew that Huang Liu would not admit it, and sneered: "There is a poem "Farewell to Cambridge" in "Qiujian Collection". If you can tell where the Cambridge is? At the same time, recite the poem "Farewell to Cambridge" again, and this girl admits that "Farewell to Cambridge" was written by you and apologize to you!"

Huang Liu was caught off guard by Leng Xianning's hand, his face flushed, but he didn't know how to respond, because he really didn't know what the hell is Kangqiao, and he couldn't do it if he recited the original text. When his legs saw him being ugly, he quickly rescued and said, "Mr. Guo's vernacular poetry is nothing more than this. It's hard to be a good place. I'm afraid Mr. Guo can't write ancient Chinese poems, so he came up with a trick like vernacular poetry. Since Mr. Guo wants us to write a poem with the title of sweet potatoes, can you ask Mr. Guo to write one first so that we can open our eyes!..."

Guo Zhiyuan knew that if he didn't show the previous song, it would be difficult to impress these guys who deliberately found fault. Leng Xianning was full of confidence in Guo Zhiyuan, looking at Guo Zhiyuan with a bright look. With a beautiful woman in front of him, Guo Zhiyuan's desire to show off also came up. After a moment of pondering, he said loudly: "Okay! Then let's throw away the bricks and jade to show off your ugly face! Let's have a seven-character quatrain, chanting sweet potatoes, and protecting the roots of the dragon's leaves and vines, and breaking the ground when they are finished. Cooking only leaves sweet and delicious, and the poor year depends on you."

"Okay!" Leng Xianning applauded first, and the others nodded. Although Guo Zhiyuan's seven-character quatrain can only be considered a good work and cannot be considered a masterpiece, it is rare that Guo Zhiyuan can become a poem in such a short time. Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was not stumped by Guo Zhiyuan, Huang Liu said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that..."

Guo Zhiyuan coldly glanced at the dog legs who deliberately disrupted the situation. He knew that to completely shock them, they had to leave nothing to say. He smiled and said, "These brothers seem to have a prejudice against Guo, so Guo will write another poem and ask for advice from him. If the brothers can write one in the same time, Guo will admit that he is not knowledgeable..."

As he said that, Guo Zhiyuan began to pace slowly, and while walking, the poem blurted out: "I am ashamed to be a banquet for the princes and princes, and I am happy to fill the coarse grains to help the people. If I were too expensive earlier, I would not complain about the burying of sand and alkali in this life."

"Wonderful! What a 'I'm ashamed to feast for the kings and princes on the table, and enjoy the coarse grains to help the people.' In the past, Cao Zijian's seven-step poems have become a legend for the ages. Today, Lord Guo writes sweet potato poems for the people in seven steps, which is not inferior to the ancients, and it is also a legend for my Fujian scholars!..." Yin Suiqi slapped the table and exclaimed. Other famous scholars were also impressed by Guo Zhiyuan's literary talent, and they all gave thumbs up and praised them.

"Mr. Guo has already made a fool of himself, so I asked these brothers to write a poem, so that I can appreciate the literary talent of the brothers!..." Guo Zhiyuan looked at the dog legs who deliberately disrupted the situation and said with a smile.

Of course, those few dog legs could not be made. They sat there with blushing faces, either leaving or staying. Guo Zhiyuan ignored them, turned to bow to everyone and shouted: "You are all talented men of the world and the heroes of Fujian. You may think that the farmer and the peasant bare are inferior people and are disdainful. But have you ever thought that if these farmer and peasant barely worked hard, where would the food we ate come from? If we don't have food to fill our stomachs, how can we have leisure to recite poems and talk about this?

?The food we eat depends on the hard work of the people to have no worries about food and clothing. Should we also make some contributions to the people? In the eyes of Mr. Huang, this sweet potato is a vulgar thing, but in the eyes of Guo, it is a magical thing that benefits the country and the people. Ordinary rice and grain crops produce only a few stones per mu, but this sweet potato can produce dozens of stones per mu. Ordinary rice and grain crops may have no grain harvest when encountering drought and famine, but this sweet potato can grow as usual in drought and barren land and environment. What is this not a magical thing?!……”

Everyone was infected by Guo Zhiyuan's generous speech. Leng Xianning took the lead and said, "What Mr. Guo said is extremely true. Although Xianning is a woman, she is willing to do her best. On behalf of my Leng family, I will subscribe to 10,000 stones of sweet potatoes!..."

Yin Suiqi also shouted loudly: "Mr. Guo is worried about the country and the people, and he is a model for us. I also subscribe to 10,000 shi of sweet potatoes, so that the people of Fujian County can also imitate the people of ancient fields and promote sweet potato planting!..."

Others also generously donated money to subscribe to sweet potatoes. Huang Liu and others were completely isolated and had no face to stay. They left with angrily. Without these sticks, the atmosphere of the poetry meeting became more lively. Everyone recited poems and essays, with sweet potatoes as the theme, and created many excellent poetry works. At the end of the poetry meeting, the famous scholars were still a little unsatisfied and agreed to come here to attend the poetry meeting when the sweet potatoes in the ancient fields are harvested next year.

The reputation of sweet potatoes has also spread in Fujian through this poetry meeting. The wealthy class has also begun to accept the new crop of sweet potatoes. Even celebrities love to eat sweet potatoes. Who would think that sweet potatoes are vulgar things? Sweet potatoes have gradually entered the field of commercial circulation. Sighted merchants came to Gutian to purchase sweet potatoes. The people turned the sweet potatoes in stock into white silver. They felt completely at ease and were more motivated to grow sweet potatoes.

Guo Zhiyuan took advantage of the situation and began to promote corn and potato planting again. With the precedent of sweet potatoes, the people were very enthusiastic about planting. The sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings prepared by the county government were soon claimed by the people!

The second issue of Xingming Pao made a detailed report on this sweet potato poetry meeting, and also published all the excellent poems and works of praise for sweet potatoes written by famous scholars. Not everyone in this era has the opportunity to publish their own poems, so the celebrities are very interested in the Xingming Pao, which greatly enhances the influence of Xingming Pao in the Shilin. Guo Zhiyuan's fame naturally increased. At least in the Shilin in Fujian, he knew that he was the number one person.

The successful promotion of sweet potatoes has also made Guo Zhiyuan's reputation in Gutian rise again. Now Gutian's work has reached a new level. The population has doubled more than before Guo Zhiyuan took office. He has always paid 100% of the taxes that have been dissatisfied. Not to mention public security, even small cases of petty theft rarely occur. Even the most backward cultural and educational aspects, which have been the most backward, has also put a satellite in the cultural and educational sector because Guo Zhiyuan expanded the county school to increase the number of students. He passed the exam for eight scholars in one go. You must know that before this, no one in Gutian had passed the exam for several years!

Huang Sihua originally wanted to seize the weakest links of Gutian, taxation and culture and education, to make a big fuss. Unexpectedly, Guo Zhiyuan slapped him in the face again with his real political achievements. Among the counties under Fuzhou Prefecture, only Gutian completed 100% of the tax collection, and only Gutian passed the exam in one exam. This marked that Gutian had jumped from the county with the most backward economy and culture and education in Fuzhou Prefecture to become the top county under Fuzhou Prefecture. If Huang Sihua still picked the bones in the eggs, it would confirm Xu Xueju's impeachment of his jealousy of his talents. Therefore, Huang Sihua not only could not criticize Guo Zhiyuan, but also had to pinch his nose and post official documents to commend Guo Zhiyuan's political achievements.

At this time, Huang Sihua finally realized that Guo Zhiyuan was powerful. Such a person could not be suppressed by himself. He could only find someone who Guo Zhiyuan could not afford to offend to deal with Guo Zhiyuan. Soon he thought of someone--the tax supervision and high school reign!

Emperors of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to taxation because it was related to their money bags. They could not trust the officials below and were worried about their corruption. Therefore, they sent the eunuchs whom they trusted the most to serve as tax supervisors. Those who could serve as tax supervisors are usually the emperor's confidant eunuchs!

Taxation supervision has great power. They regard themselves as emperors and are not under the jurisdiction of local officials at all levels. They can also act as emperors and impeach local officials at will. Therefore, local officials at all levels are afraid of talking about tax supervision and dare not provoke them easily.
