Zhang Mingchang said "ah", "Then wouldn't many people have to retreat." ”

Guo Wenying sighed, "Don't worry, it won't." Everyone has an account in their hearts, once the wharf is built, how much can be earned, everyone knows in their hearts, you see the phenomenon of Quanzhou merchants rushing crazy. This is a lucrative business, and no one wants to give up this opportunity to make a fortune. In short, fifty percent of the imperial court must not be allowed, and once it falls below five percent, it is likely to be controlled by private individuals in the future, which is not good for the country. ”

Zhang Mingchang hurriedly said: "It's still an adult who thinks thoughtfully." ”

He saw that Guo Wenying was really weak, and he was embarrassed to stay longer, and said something related to the recruitment of workers and the start of work, and Guo Wenying let him watch and handle it himself. He also said that if he was really too busy, let him go to the Ministry of Writing, and the Ministry of Industry would send someone to help.

Zhang Mingchang responded, and couldn't help but let out a long breath when he walked outside the door. In the past, he always thought very highly of himself, and felt that he could do anything and anywhere, but when he saw Guo Wenying, he had to admit that this woman was stronger than him in terms of strategy and bearing. This seriousness alone, regardless of the attitude of the individual's body, is not comparable to him. The Governor can insist on working even when he is sick, and he is a little tired, and he has no complaints.

Guo Wenying also knew that her body was not good, and she would collapse sooner or later if she continued like this, so she secretly asked someone to find some earthworks that could stop morning sickness. Where did Hongxiang know any locals, so she had to ask Dong Yue and ask Dong Yue to recommend someone to come.

Guo Wenying learned that she went to find Dong Yue, but she didn't say anything, but only told her to be strict and not to leak anything out.

Dong Yue is usually lazy and lazy, and that is because of his nature, not his ability to do things, but he brought an old lady here in one day, saying that he used to take care of pregnant women in a large family, and he was very experienced.

She came for two days, massaged Guo Wenying's acupuncture points every day, and deliberately stewed some easy-to-digest supplements in the small kitchen, picked some exquisite ones, and then supplemented them with decoction treatment, and then Guo Wenying's symptoms were not so uncomfortable, and she was basically able to get out of bed.

Seeing that she was in good health and her spirit had recovered, she discussed with Zhang Mingchang that she should go back to Fuzhou first and hand over all the affairs in Songjiang to Zhang Mingchang to preside.

Zhang Mingchang hurriedly said: "My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right? The matter is serious, if there is no adult in charge, this Songjiang official may not obey the order with me." ”

Guo Wenying said: "Don't worry, I have already been on the fold, and the Ministry of Industry will come soon, I specially asked the Ministry of Labor to come, he has a lot of experience in the art of construction, maybe he can help you save some money." ”

Zhang Mingchang said secretly, this is you, otherwise the Ministry of Industry will be able to leave Beijing if he says that he will be able to leave Beijing?

Now it is different from the past, saying that it is to go, it still makes people fully prepared, the carriage is made more spacious and comfortable, and there are many more soldiers accompanying the escort.

Guo Wenying came out of the government early in the morning, and when she sat in the car, she still felt soft on her body, and Hongxiang put a cushion on her waist to make her lie more comfortable. The old lady who was found in Songjiang also followed, and helped her massage along the way, but it was not so hard. I just stopped and stopped all the way, and I didn't dare to go fast, but it was slower than usual.

A few days later, they returned to Fuzhou, and the people from the governor's mansion came out to greet them, but they hadn't seen each other for a while, Lu Yiyu seemed to have darkened a lot, and it was rare to show a little joy when he saw Guo Wenying coming back.

Guo Wenying was helped down from the carriage by Hongxiang, and when she returned to her room, she asked Lu Yiyu to come.

Others can not talk about her pregnancy, Lu Yiyu is her cousin, and she must know about it. It's just that after Lu Yiyu heard this, his expression was obviously more exaggerated than he imagined, and he was stunned for a long time before he said: "This place is not suitable for adults, adults should return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

Guo Wenying sighed, "Do you think it's safe in Beijing?"

She is pregnant and will definitely enter the palace, it is impossible to raise a baby in her mother's house, rather than this, she would rather go to the southeast. It's just that this matter is still hidden from Feng Jingting, and he is inevitably a little sorry for him.

Lu Yiyu couldn't help it when she heard her say this, so she had to say: "If you don't send a letter to your mother and ask her to come over to accompany you, they all say that pregnant women are very fragile, and you always feel uneasy when you are alone here." ”

Guo Wenying shook his head, "I'm fine, I just don't go to the yamen on weekdays." I also informed the officials, saying that I was recuperating behind closed doors and did not see any guests, and that the monthly official meeting had been cancelled, so that they could send it directly to the government office if there was anything. ”

She has another meaning for doing this, that is, to temporarily cool the scene in Fuzhou, and then secretly observe who wants to mess up the pool of water in Fuzhou.

Lu Yiyu took the order and went to order some affairs of the Governor's Palace, not to bother Guo Wenying if it was not particularly important, and let her recuperate for a few days.

Guo Wenying's body foundation turned out to be good, and she was recuperated by the grandmother from Songjiang every day, which was much better than before, and gradually she could eat her meals and walk around on the ground. It's just that she has been worried and doesn't dare to do too strenuous exercise.

She is an idle person, her body is slightly better, and she has appeared more often in the government office.

On this day, she was reading the official document in the government office, and suddenly received an unexpected invitation, but it was the official daughter of Fuzhou who held a garden poetry party and invited her to participate in it. Holding the invitation, I can't cry or laugh, I have to face those officials on official business, and I still have to get along with their ladies and relatives in private?

She threw the invitation aside, and then Lu Yiyu came over with a stack of official documents, "My lord, too, let you rest more, what are you doing here in the morning?"

Guo Wenying said: "I can't lie down either, let me always lie down, it will be stuffy." She said and said, "Let's be quiet for a while, is there any movement from the other party?"

Lu Yiyu said: "Fuzhou is still stable, the adults said that the salt tax should be carried out secretly, we have not dared to make a big move, only silently accumulate some evidence." As for the salt works and the salt road, they seem to be stable. ”

Guo Wenying nodded, it would be best if she could stabilize it, she was really afraid that there would be some large-scale disasters, which would affect the progress of reform at that time. A few days ago, she received a letter from Lu Qifang, saying that the emperor had decided to vigorously promote the salt tax reform, and the regulations for the reform were still being drafted, and the first ones were the southeast coast and other places.

Although the people of Nanqi eat more well salt than sea salt, sea salt is sold cheaply and still accounts for a large market share. All they have to do now is to snatch meat from other people's mouths and eat it, so it's strange that no one will bite back.

She said: "You just follow up closely, and when the will of the imperial court comes down, you will begin to investigate and deal with it with great fanfare, especially the doorway inside must be figured out, where is the private salt transported in and out?" ”
