Chapter 205: What I Saw and Heard

Song Chengming stayed up all night before arranging the resettlement of the displaced people.

Come together in the morning to greet Mrs. Kim.

"Eat first, and then go to bed after eating. Wu Niang handed over the porridge bowl and said.

The corners of Mrs. Jin's mouth moved, and it took a long time before she said: "Tell people to keep an eye on the dock, that batch of grain has arrived in the next few days." ”

Song Chengming hurriedly responded, "Thanks to my mother-in-law's help, there is not much that the Liaodong Mansion Treasury can use." "Ping'an Prefecture has only come under Liaodong this year, and he doesn't want to increase Ping'an Prefecture's taxes. If it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that the spare military rations of the Liaodong Army will be used. This is a big taboo. He didn't hide it, so he said to Wu Niang: "Mr. Dai just put forward a hypothesis, and Hu Tian was sprayed with saliva. Categorically disagree with the use of military rations. This kid is a stubborn donkey......"

Wu Niang turned her face to the coriander and ordered, "Send two catties of leeks to the Hu family, and say that you will make dumplings for the two old men." In addition, ask the kitchen to stew a pear soup for Mr. Dai. The house is dry, and the lungs are moistened for the husband. ”

Song Chengming glanced at Wu Niang, "My temper comes up, sometimes I can't control it." Last night, I was trained by one person. Everyone was a little anxious. It's good that you came forward to appease. ”

Wu Niang said helplessly: "You are so restrained." If you continue like this, you will suffer. If you give me a stick, I have to stuff red dates for people immediately, you don't think about it for others, so you think about me for me. I'm also very nervous, I'm afraid that one of them will not be appeased in place. This is the most likely to make people feel unjust. ”

Song Chengming nodded, "Okay! I must, I must always remember to restrain my temper." ”

Jin watched the interaction between the two and felt a little relieved. Wu Niang's status in this Liao Wangfu turned out to be like this. She has turned herself into an indispensable part of the King of Liao. Her influence has reached the generals and strategists below.

"When I began to appease the displaced people, I realized that what Liaodong lacked most now was civil officials. Song Chengming couldn't help sighing, "There are I don't know how many people are idle in the imperial court." We just want to use it now, and we don't need it. ”

Wu Niang put it down as soon as she picked up the rice bowl, "So, I just said last time, if it doesn't work, let's open the imperial examination ourselves." You don't have to take any of the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as you can write and calculate, and you can use one aspect that you are good at. This also involves the promotion of rice. Without manpower, nothing can be arranged. ”

Song Chengming comforted Wu Niang and said: "Several gentlemen are orthodox scholars, if you tell them this, isn't this a denial of people's knowledge? If it is so easy to become officials, why should they still be staff members." ”

Wu Niang put the chopsticks on the table, "Some people are good at using their brains, and some people are good at using their mouths, which are all retreats." What we need is pragmatic people. Several gentlemen do have outstanding points in strategy, but there are also many problems with the contempt of literati. They didn't think it was suitable to set up Hongbunkan, but I was very insistent. In the past, I wanted to entrust this Hongbunkan to them, but now, they just want to, and I'm not happy anymore. I'm afraid that the talents I am looking for will all be sent away by these pedantic sour Confucians. Let me tell you, this Hongwen Pavilion, I have also opened it. As long as I appoint people only to be capable, those talents from all over the country who have no way to be officials will not be allowed to come over one after another. I just think I'm buying horse bones. This winter, you are busy relocating your homeless people, and I am busy building the Hongwen Museum. If there is a suitable person among the homeless, I will use it. ”

Song Chengming brought the porridge in front of Wu Niang, continued to drink, and instructed the red pepper, "Add another bowl of hot one to your princess." Then he said to Wu Niang, "The money and food are in your hands, you can do what you want? As long as someone uses it, I don't care where you came from. ”

Wu Niang picked up the chopsticks and picked up the porridge bowl, "Where are these gentlemen......"

"I'll go and say. Song Chengming was full, put down the dishes and chopsticks, "If you have something, you will push it on me." ”

That's pretty much it.

Song Chengming got up and saluted Mrs. Jin, "Mother-in-law is slow, and the son-in-law will retire first." ”

Mrs. Kim nodded. The two of them cooperated tacitly, and they were all down to business, but they didn't have a chance to speak.

But looking at her daughter's little appearance who was still thinking about it seriously, her heart slowly let go.

Wu Niang relied on her ability to gain a foothold in Liaodong, not the favor of men.

And no matter how much Wu Niang has in her heart at the moment, the most important thing now is her own mother.

Wu Niang took Mrs. Jin to meet her eldest aunt Bai.

"I didn't expect to see you again in this life. Bai Shi looked at Mrs. Jin and said, "Yuan Niang, she ...... Thanks to you. ”

Mrs. Kim smiled, "That's also how smart she is." ”

Bai shook his head, "This kid is crooked." I asked myself if what she was teaching was not wrong, why did she have a lot of thoughts that she shouldn't have. I knelt in front of the Bodhisattva all day long, secretly reflecting on myself, thinking about what I did wrong?"

Mrs. Jin looked at Bai's thin and pale appearance, and said, "One person has one character, and this has nothing to do with education. Everyone has something they want. To be able to fight for what you want, not everyone has such courage. ”

"Yes, after all, it's because she wants it, and I can't give it to her as a mother. Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Mrs. Jin smiled, "Then according to you, what Wu Niang wants, I should give it?" She wants a husband who is deeply affectionate and devoted to her, and is this also something I can do? She wants to live a long life without illness or disaster, and I dare to guarantee this? No! Although we all hate to give them what we think is the best, this is not what they want. The real joy lies in the process of chasing. If you get it, it's their luck, and if you don't get it, it's fate. We watched them, and they became, laughing with them. If it fails, we can still give the child a place to cry. That's what we're worth. So, you have to live well, live healthily. Let's see if it's for them to laugh or hug them and cry in the future. ”

When Mrs. Jin came out, Wu Niang took Mrs. Jin's arm, "I really have a wise and open-minded good lady." ”

Mrs. Jin glanced at her, "Pour me ** soup again." Your wife doesn't eat this. ”

Wu Niang grinned, "Do you want to go shopping on the street?" Shengcheng is also thriving now. ”

Mrs. Jin looked at the top of Wu Niang's smooth head, "Let's go, what do you want, my mother will buy it for you." "Look at the poor one, he doesn't have a single piece of jewelry.

Wu Niang is disgusted and cumbersome.

The mother and daughter sat in a carriage and left the house in a leisurely manner.

Mrs. Kim lifted the curtain and looked out, it was snowing heavily, but there was no snow on the street. Almost a few dozen meters later, a man with an orange armband was arranging to clear the snow. On the road, there are always horse-drawn carriages and ox carts with orange decorations, transporting the snow out.

"These snow sweepers are all veterans who have retired from the battlefield, people with slightly disabled legs. They sweep the roads, and they also take money. Wu Niang explained, "In addition, they are more alert than others, and they can know that there is a little wind and grass on the street, or there are people coming and going." Just provide a piece of information and you will receive a reward. Therefore, this prosperous city, except for the spies we allowed, has no place for anything else. The implication is that the allowed spies are the spies of the Jin family.

Mrs. Kim nodded, "This is your idea?"

Before Wu Niang came to Liaodong, Song Chengming did not implement this set.

Wu Niang coughed embarrassedly, "It's just a small test, a small test." ”

Further on, at every intersection, there is a sentry box, and the people in the pavilion wave small flags and direct the carriages coming and going. Be in apple-pie order.

And at each street corner, there is a shed marked with the words "Huimin House".

"What is that?" asked Mrs. King.

Wu Niang glanced at it and said, "Every Huimin office has a doctor who sits in the hall. Free medical treatment for the people. In addition......" she pointed to the cauldron that was still steaming, "In winter, a decoction to ward off the cold is provided, and anyone who passes by can drink a bowl if they want to." In the summer, it will be replaced by the one that relieves the heat. Other times, it is up to the doctor to look at the climate. Isn't it true that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to curing diseases before they occur? It is always good to prevent problems before they occur. If some people can send some home-picked medicinal materials, they can also exchange for an unlimited amount of wowotou. It can be regarded as poverty alleviation. Some children feed themselves by picking herbs. ”

"However, the Liao Wangfu will lose a lot. Mrs. Jin didn't dare to calculate this account in detail.

"When the population is larger, Liaodong can really come alive. The price is worth it. Wu Niang smiled smugly, "It's bitter cold here, I want to call the people who come here, I think it's the climate that is cold here, and it's the people's hearts that are warm." ”

Mrs. Jin nodded, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, "If you are told to operate like this, I am afraid that if you come, you really don't want to leave." ”

Wu Niang laughed, "That's what you want." Those who come can not only settle here, but also work here. ”

"It is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to control the country. Mrs. Jin said with emotion: "You have learned to govern first, then, this country will be destroyed if you don't fight." ”

Wu Niang feels that these words are the best praise for her efforts these days.

Mrs. Jin looked at the carriage with the logo of the King of Liao, and had to listen to the command of the little flag, leaving when it was time to go, stopping when it should stop, and nodding even more in her heart...... 166 Reading Network
