Chapter 375: For Officials

More than 1,000 acres is not big at all, a few people did not walk long to walk all over, this is still walking on the ridge of the small field is not smooth, from time to time to pay attention not to accidentally slip into the paddy field.

Erya looked at the seedlings raised in the dry land, and opened the insulated curtain to let the sun shine directly. At such a temperature, the seedlings can already be planted, and the seedlings have grown to the limit, and if they continue to wait, the survival rate after transplanting will be low.

"When are you going to plant the seedlings?"

Director Liu replied: "We have already found odd jobs and are scheduled to start planting seedlings tomorrow. ”

Erya nodded and said, "Find more people to come back and plant the seedlings in the field as soon as possible, and the seedlings in this area can't be delayed any longer." ”

"Okay! After a while, I will ask everyone to spread the word and find their relatives from afar to come and help. ”

After seeing the fields and reservoirs, Erya was relieved, and after having lunch at Director Liu's place, she hurried back to the city, leaving the children to the eldest aunt and second aunt, she was actually not so relieved.

She arrived home before the sun set, and the older children were playing happily in the yard. The children were holding on to the clothes of the older children, playing with eagles and catching chickens, and the children screamed wildly, so that the residents of the courtyard next door opened the courtyard door and stretched out their heads to see what was going on outside. When he realized that it was not the screams coming from outside, he shook his head and closed the door again, ignoring the heart-wrenching screams.

When Erya arrived home, the children all stopped, sweating profusely because they were playing, and they were all waiting for the hot water to boil before taking a bath. Because you can't get cold in the spring. Erya saw that it was not a matter to wait like that, and asked the children to continue to run, not standing still. Some children are so tired that they can't run. passively let his brothers and sisters pull him away. Fortunately, the hot water is good, and Erya hurriedly took a few children to bathe with the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the servants of Anzi's family. After the first few children took a bath, Er Ya changed them into clean and hot clothes inside and outside to rest assured.

Anzi's servant saw that these children had only taken a bath yesterday and had washed again today, so he whispered to the eldest aunt who looked the most kind: "Old lady! This child is afraid that he is easy to get cold when he bathes every day, which is not good! ”

Er Ya heard it next to him and knew what this servant meant. said next to him: "Actually, it's not like bathing them every day, it's just that they are playing a little crazy today, and the clothes inside are wet." If you don't bathe them and change into dry clothes. In this way, the child will be more likely to get sick when he covers the wet clothes and dries them again. You should also be careful when you take Ming Jing and his brother in the future, boys love to play and sweat easily. You have to take care of it carefully. ”

Although Erya doesn't like to talk. She won't sneer at the slaves, but they are afraid of her. When the interrogant heard what Erya told her, she was so frightened that her legs weakened, and if she wasn't bathing the child, she couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow. The second aunt saw that the servant was trembling and trembling and bathing the child, and she had some sympathy in her heart, and she originally wanted to say a few words and knock and knock, but she didn't open her mouth when she saw her like this.

Wait until all the children are washed. Then the older children go to wash themselves, and the second girl doesn't care about them. Then it's time for the baby to feed, pee, and change diapers. A few big sisters watched them sleep to prevent anyone from waking up and crying, and waking up the other children as well.

It's heart-wrenching to talk about these babies. Children with fathers and mothers do not cry or scream, and children without fathers and mothers do not cry or cry pitiful. These children seem to know their own situation, they can't be coquettish, they don't cry or make trouble, they eat when they should sleep, sleep when they should eat. Only occasionally when I am woken up when I haven't slept well, I will make a few noises, but most of them don't bother adults. Even Anzi's daughter-in-law took them for a day and sighed: "My family Mingjing and Mingshu I also said that they are well-behaved and sensible, which can be regarded as a good one, how do you know that these children are more well-behaved than the two of my family." It's really pitiful, and I know that I can't annoy adults at such a young age. ”

Erya couldn't laugh or cry when Anzi's daughter-in-law said, and said while breastfeeding the child: "You love to press your adult thoughts on the heads of these children, they are what you say." The reason why they don't cry or make trouble is because I have already cultivated a habit for them. When to go to bed and when to feed and pee, it has become a rule, as long as this rule comes, the child will not cry. Some people's children are too expensive, they come here and then and then, there is no order, and the children will be frightened because they are at a loss, so they will cry and make noise, and it is not easy to bring. ”

"That's true!" Anzi's daughter-in-law said with a smile, in fact, she also felt a little fussed. It's still the same sentence, and I think about it a little more.

After dinner, when she was resting and eating, Anzi asked Erya: "Second sister-in-law!" Have you heard in the capital that the emperor is choosing someone to go to the ocean again? ”

"Oh this! When I heard about it, many people broke their heads and wanted to go. But I guess the emperor will arrange for the original group to go out. I heard that this time I didn't go from the southern port, but went directly from the canal to the river, and then went down the river east to the port of the East Sea, and then changed ships there, and then went along the coastline all the way to the south port. ”

Anzi remembered that the fruits from the south were transported to the capital by this waterway: "Huh! They seem to be transporting fruit on this line as well! ”

Erya nodded: "Yes!" It's that line. ”

This fruit business was done by Erya with the help of the World Drainage Bureau. They went back and forth empty-handed, and Erya felt a pity. I remembered that there are many fruits in the south that can be picked in advance when they are not ripe, and when they are transported to their destination, they can be sold for money when they are ripe.

There are many merchant ships with the dart board, and they take a little at a time, not taking up any space, and the shipowner generally allows them to take them. And it's free. It can not only ensure the freshness of the fruit, but also ensure that the fruit is continuously delivered, and the profit is high. The Erya family can also pick all kinds of fruits during the ripe season, pick out the best ones and transport them to the ferry, where they can bring them to the merchant ships they pass through at any time. Therefore, there is also a reason for the popularity of the comprehensive market in front of the 'Future Residence' community, where you can buy fruits that cannot be bought elsewhere, but the price is ridiculously expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The second uncle asked his son with concern next to him: "Anzi! Do you also want to be in the marine business? ”

Hearing this, Erya also looked at Anzi in surprise, does Anzi want to do it for himself or for the government?

Yasuko scratched her head embarrassedly. He replied to his father's words: "It's not that I want to do it, it's that the prefect has heard that foreign merchants come to do business every year, but they never come to this inland area." He wondered if he could take some of our specialties to the ocean. Attract some foreigners to come and buy. Just like those foreign businessmen who took the initiative to purchase those products produced by our second sister-in-law's family in Hepu Town. This will not only increase the income of the people here, but also increase the tax revenue of the government. ”

This is the foreign trade of later generations, I didn't expect the prefect here to think of this, it seems that he is a person with brains, not sung in the play, all confused officials!

Erya nodded in appreciation: "Your prefect has an idea, but there is something special in your state capital." It must be something that cannot be bought elsewhere. And it can make foreign businessmen make money. ”

Seeing that the second sister-in-law also appreciated this idea, Anzi nodded with her eyes shining: "Yes!" We have a purple clay pot made from a piece of soil here, which is quite good! ”

Purple clay pot? Erya remembers that it was a specialty of Yixing. How can there be it here? Listen to Anzi's meaning, it's still a specialty here! Hi! Maybe the place in Yixing has not found the soil that can make purple clay pots! Erya didn't think too much, "It's just that you only have this here, that's not good, foreigners come all the way to it." At the very least, you have to buy enough truckloads. And your place is far from the waterways. The road is bumpy, and transporting the purple clay pot is also a problem, have you ever thought about how to solve it? ”

Anzi was stunned for a moment, and only after half a sound did he speak: "We haven't considered this, what does the second sister-in-law say?" ”

Erya looked at Anzi, who really looked like he was really seeking advice, so he pondered for a while and replied: "Although the emperor is preparing for this, I am afraid that it is still very early to travel." The last ocean business let the household department and some of the people who followed. and the emperor himself, he has made a lot of money. So I guess they will definitely increase the volume of cargo this time, and hundreds of boat trips should not be an exaggeration. So they have to prepare for a long time. You and your prefect will take advantage of this time to join forces with other state capitals, and each of them will come up with something special and easy to sell, and make up a few boats. In addition, I asked the emperor to send someone to follow me. This time it is considered that you are doing business on your own, if you can sell in foreign countries and make money, those foreign businessmen will naturally follow suit, and it is very unreliable for you to rely on others to help you do any publicity. ”

Anzi's second sister-in-law gave such an idea, although she thought it was the best, but when she thought that the emperor would definitely not let their government follow the trend to go to the ocean to do business, she said dejectedly: "I'm afraid that the emperor won't approve this matter!" ”

Erya thought that in the future, the country would encourage all localities to find their own way out and help the local products be sold. Here, she believes that if this emperor is really a far-sighted ruler, he will definitely be willing that the local government can have a way to generate income, which is also a good thing for the people. It's just that I'm afraid that corrupt officials are collecting money in the name of the people, and finally put it in their own pockets.

"Anko! The emperor may agree to this, but what worries me is that some officials are greedy when they see the huge profits in this, and they can't really give the benefits to the people. Do you probably understand this? ”

Yasuko nodded, of course he understood. He has read many famous historical stories of Qing officials and corrupt officials, and some Qing officials can resist corruption all their lives and stay clear for a lifetime. Some corrupt officials are not greedy from the beginning, and some of them are also quite honest when they first become officials, and they do practical things for the people. Just walking and walking, he deviated from the right path for various reasons, and finally carried the infamy for 10,000 years.

"Second sister-in-law! I understand your concerns, but we can't give up on good things that can benefit the people just because of something that hasn't happened yet. ”

Erya frowned, her face was a little cold: "I don't mean to let you do it, but not to let you take the lead in mentioning this matter." Yourself, I believe that you will not covet that little profit, but it is difficult for others to say. If you take the lead in doing this, and the higher authorities will investigate it later, it will be your responsibility. Especially when you reach a certain high position, there will be political opponents who will take the opportunity to target you and overthrow you. If you can't be tactful in officialdom and don't take care of things that shouldn't be done, then I still suggest that you resign and go home now! ”

Anzi has been in the officialdom for five or six years, and naturally knows that everything must be done to avoid good luck. He solemnly assured Erya that he would handle this matter well, and would rather let others get this fame and fortune than do that kind of thing in it.

The uncle, the second uncle and the second aunt all nodded reassuringly, especially the second one. Their family already has such an official (whether those children are from the Wang family or not, they have all been marked with the mark of the Wang family). Therefore, as long as you do your job well and be an official safely, there is no need to risk any more fame and fortune. Anzi wants to develop the economy of Yuzhou Mansion and fight for the benefits of the people, she has no objection, but she hopes that Anzi will do a good job behind the scenes, and it is best to let those who want to seek fame and fortune do what they want to do in front of her. In this way, Anzi will neither stand in the way of others, nor will he have to bear the responsibility of those officials who drag his legs in the future. (To be continued......)
