Chapter 480: He Tongzhi's Interests

Seeing a herd of horses with many horses running towards him from a distance, the uncle was very nervous, "Daman! Get out of the way! ”

"Don't be afraid, Dad! These horses know to avoid us. ”

Uncle relaxed a little, "How many horses are there?" That's a lot! ”

Da Man laughed and said, "That's how much!" Our horse farm is divided into three zones according to the grade, with no less than 500 horses in the first class, no less than 3,000 horses in the second class, and no less than 5,000 horses in the third class. This herd is only a small part of it! ”

The uncle listened to his son's words with his mouth open in surprise, there are so many horses?! His nephew's family had hundreds of horses on that hill in town, and he thought it was amazing, and when he got here, he realized that the family did not have enough horses to see.

I saw the pastures of cattle, sheep, and donkeys, and then I saw the mountains where coal was dug, the cement factory, and the brick and tile factory.

Several brick and tile factories and cement factories were built by Erya to deal with the dirt and stones that were hidden on the coal mines. Due to the technical constraints, it is simply not feasible to dig coal in deep wells. Erya had no choice but to use this clumsy method to use all the soil and stones covering the surface, and the coal mine to be mined became an open-pit coal mine. If you mine again, it is safe and hassle-free. Of course, this method can only be aimed at coal mines with shallow surfaces, and as for coal mines that are too deep, Erya does not plan to mine them, and must always leave some for future generations.

Nian Nian took the tens of thousands of silver tickets distributed by Xiaohu's daughter-in-law to his family, although the uncle pretended to be very calm on his face, he was always uneasy in his heart. The two Xiaohu gave so much silver to their old brothers, and they were afraid that they would leave nothing. Now I see that there is such an industry here that is no less than that of my hometown. It's finally a lot more steady.

Daman knew that his father had always had such uneasiness in his heart, so he couldn't help but solemnly say to his father: "Dad! Xiaohu and his younger siblings are nominally divided between you and your second uncle, but in fact, it is your filial piety. He deserves our share of this inheritance? We know it very well in our hearts, and we don't think about it that we shouldn't think about it. I work here, and every year I get my fair share of the money, I feel at ease, I can eat well and sleep well. You and the second uncle can rest assured, when Zhang Yunfeng made such a big fuss, Dahong and I, as well as Xiangzi, Laizi, and Anzi, had already secretly sworn that we would make money by our own skills. Never covet the family property of the Xiaohu brothers. Otherwise, the sky will thunder! ”

When the uncle heard his son's words, tears came out at once. At the beginning, Zhang Yunfeng made such a fuss. has always made him feel embarrassed, and he is embarrassed to say even a hard word in front of his own people. For fear that people will laugh at him, he can't manage his children well, and he will still rush to the head in front of outsiders. Because of Zhang Yunfeng. He has always been dissatisfied with his eldest son in his heart. always felt that it was the eldest son who had a desire in his heart that made Zhang Yunfeng come forward to make trouble. Therefore, the better Xiaohu and his wife treat him, the more guilty he feels, and he always feels that he has not done a good job as a big parent. Now I heard that the children are secretly so backbone, he can't even cry if he wants to!

"Good! Good! You've all grown up, and we old people still think you're still a child! If you do a good job, you must be clear in your heart about what is ours and what is not. So you don't go the wrong way! ”

Daman smiled proudly: "Dad! We know it in our hearts! What was the situation at home at the beginning, and because of what life got better? Until today. Each of our brothers wrote a very thick family letter in detail, which was intended to be left to future generations. It will never make future generations blur the Wang family's industry. Greed arose, which led to infighting and division within the family. We are now standing tall and far, and if a family wants to prosper for a long time, it must unite and love each other. ”

The uncle felt that his tears wanted to flow again, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and nodded again and again, "Okay!" Good! All right! My royal family has been prosperous for ten generations! ”

"Daddy! The sun is going down, so let's go back! Tomorrow we will take you to visit the winery, the scarf and hat knitting factory, and the feed processing factory. Oh! By the way, our ancestral hall has also been built, do you want to see it? ”

"Look at it! I haven't seen what an ancestral hall is like. When I passed by the ancestral hall of Lao Li's family when I was a child, there were people from far away shouting not to let me approach, but it was mysterious. Now that we have our own, I'll have to take a good look at what it looks like! ”

After that, the uncle didn't have time to visit here and there, the Shi family, the Wang family, and Wu Tong's mother's house, I heard that Daman's father and mother came all the way over. They all ran over early to visit the old couple.

The old lady of the Shi family grabbed Da Manniang's hand, and tears flowed: "Big nephew and daughter-in-law! The old lady thought that she would never have the opportunity to see her benefactor in her life, but she really didn't expect me to live to see you. As the old saying goes: One year old and one year old, I am really old and not like a person, why are you still so young, and you haven't changed at all!? ”

Seeing the old lady of the Shi family in tears, Da Manniang was racking her brains to think about how to comfort her! suddenly gave her such a big turn, and she couldn't help but cry and laugh. "Auntie! How can more than ten years not grow old! I see that my aunt's body is very healthy, how are you doing all these years? ”

The old lady's face changed faster than the child's, and before the tears were wiped away, she immediately opened her mouth with many teeth and smiled, patting the back of Da Manniang's hand and saying, "Okay! Thanks to Xiaohu's daughter-in-law, the original sweater factory was not completed, and later it was changed to a scarf factory and a hat factory, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are now earning wages in the factory. The eldest grandson works as a second master in the distillery, and the salary is not low. The eldest great-grandson was born as a child last year, and now he is a gentleman in the town school. As she spoke, the old lady leaned close to Da Manniang's ear and whispered, "My family now excludes the harvest of the crops, and the children's wages alone can put twenty taels of silver in their pockets a month." Hey! No less! ”

The income of the uncle's family has now risen to twenty or thirty thousand taels, but the eldest aunt still feels very rich when she hears that her income is twenty taels of silver this month. nodded his head: "This is not called less, it should be called a lot!" Auntie, it's no problem for you to eat and drink spicy food! ”

The old lady seemed to suddenly remember the family business of Daman, and said humbly with a smile: "Hehe! It's not like your home! There is no comparison! ”

Da Manniang and a group of women who came to visit her reminisced about their two years in Hepu Town in the backyard, thanking the children for taking care of them when they were studying at the Wang family. It's all your kind and my kind greetings.

The male guests in front of them are also talking about the past, and then talking about the present, which is very lively, and the day has passed without feeling. One day later, the eldest uncle and the old couple were taken by their son's family to visit their in-laws, and then they visited the Wang family's grandfather, and then they went to visit the Shi family.

After a few days, the old couple couldn't hold on anymore and asked Daman: "Are you ready for the dowry?" If we're ready, let's get there! ”

In addition to the dowry gifts for Qingzhu's marriage, Daman, as his father, naturally has to prepare a little more. "I've got it ready before you even arrive! can leave at any time, originally planned to let Qingyun Niang also pass, but now that her body is inconvenient, she won't let her go, only I will go with you. ”

Da Man's father nodded: "Okay!" Then we'll leave early tomorrow morning! ”

Uncle, they have been delayed for many days because of this and that, and they don't think it's a big deal. But Mrs. He waited anxiously at home, but she was in a hurry and was about to go crazy. This matter has nothing to do with others, so they don't feel the length of time, but Mrs. He is different. This is more than half a year, who can stand such a hard time? But this seems to be an ironclad thing, she is really reluctant to give up so categorically, she can only endure the torment of waiting while silently begging God to bless this family business to be completed in the end.

He Tongzhi, who stayed in Lanzhou Mansion to preside over major affairs, would also be anxious about his daughter's family affairs, but he was not as visible as a woman. He put his anxieties on the surface. When it was time for all the personnel to return to their positions, but more than half of them did not come back, and all the work had to be forced to stop, is there no hurry? Of course you have to hurry! This is the biggest thing he has taken over, and if he doesn't handle it well, it will affect his overall political performance.

He personally went down to the hired staff and consulted with people who knew each other. Only then did I know that those who did not come, except for a very few who could not come because of a major incident at home, and almost all of the others were because they had to stay at home to serve labor, and the imperial court was going to start large-scale construction of river dams this year.

He Tongzhi secretly complained, but there was no way. I had to pass the news to Xiaolong, who actually knew about it in the imperial court newspaper, so he wrote back to He Tongzhi: This year's order is to "plant and build houses, supplemented by land reclamation". In this way, He Tongzhi will be much easier to handle in terms of personnel allocation and work arrangement.

By the time they arrived, the newly moved family had already packed up their homes and everything was settled. He Tongzhi took the household registration books of the scribe and the government government to the new farmers in Qujiaao to register the new household registration. In addition, the expenses for the transportation and horses of the farmers when they moved were reimbursed on the spot, which made many farmers who did not expect the government to pay for this fee on the spot. Can you not cry excitedly? Far away, the carriage and horse fare can cost more than 20 taels of silver!

Especially Daddy Donald's house, they were far away and there were many people, so they could only call two carriages. In the past, it was a carriage paid by the government, but he didn't know the market, and when he rented a car by himself, the five taels of silver he had originally prepared were not even a fraction of it. It took more than forty taels of silver to move the house. The whole family, young and old, was distressed, and the eldest son and second son complained even more. It's just that I didn't expect that the government would take the initiative to reimburse the money. The two brothers hugged their father excitedly and laughed, "Dad! This place is good, and the officials will take the initiative to give money to the people, I have never heard of it in my life, but I have seen it today. I'm happy! I'm so happy, Dad! We've come to the right place! ”

Tang Laosan was very proud of my credit, and stood in front of them with his head upturned and begged for praise.

He Tongzhi, who had finished registering, was greatly surprised, but he didn't expect more than 300 households to come at one time. It is said that there are still more than 200 families waiting for the next batch of houses to be built, and they will be able to move in if they have houses. This ready-made achievement will become his political achievement because he led the registration, which is really a great gift from Lord Wang for nothing. He sat in the carriage, excited and excited, thinking about how to repay Lord Wang. (To be continued.) )
