As soon as it happened in the capital, Chen Wenlin wrote a letter to his family in detail. In fact, most of Chen Yuanheng's personnel in the capital have been reported to Chen Yuanheng, but there are some things that Chen Yuanheng can't spy on, such as the matter between several good friends of the four princes, and Chen Wenlin also told his family in detail. In the letter, Chen Wenlin praised three friends. Zhao Chongyi is a straight man, fist and foot kung fu, and good articles, and is a real all-rounder. Liu Yan is a peerless beautiful man, and Liu Jingyuan is an elegant and wise scholar. Because it is written in every letter, the Chen family, who has never seen these three people, is about to know them. However, seeing Chen Wenlin living so nourishingly in the capital, the Chen couple and Chen Wenhui were sincerely happy.

Compared with Chen Wenlin, Chen Wenjun has a lot fewer letters, and each letter is very simple, except for greeting his father and little sister, he is saying that he is very good, and it is over. Chen Wenjun had long known from his parents' letters that when his second brother went to the capital, it was estimated that he and Chen Wenlin had a separate correspondence, so he never asked Chen Wenlin about his situation in the letter.

Chen Wenhui has always complained that the eldest brother's letters are too few, and they are too brief and have no actual content. She writes letters to her two brothers very diligently, especially the second brother. Now Chen Wenhui has been in this world for many years, and she has been practicing calligraphy for many years, and her calligraphy has always been taught by Chen Yuanheng himself, so it is very beautiful. Later, Chen Wenhui became obsessed with calligraphy, collected a lot of scriptures to copy, practiced, and gradually became better and better, Chen Yuanheng even said that Chen Wenhui's words were about to surpass him.

Of course, Chen Wenhui is still sensible and knows that this is a beautiful word for his father, but this also shows that Chen Wenhui's words are still very good, especially among girls, she is definitely a leader.

In fact, compared with calligraphy, Chen Wenhui is more good at painting, after all, he had a foundation in his previous life, but he learned Western painting in his previous life. Now that she has learned Chinese painting and calligraphy, Wen Hui is still trying to combine Chinese and Western paintings, integrating some Western painting techniques into ink painting, so Chen Wenhui's painting skills are really better than Chen Yuanheng's, which has always been Chen Yuanheng's pride.

Chen Wenhui often painted her family as a souvenir, and sometimes sent them to her two brothers along with letters to relieve their longing for their family.

The days passed quickly, and the Chen family spent the first deserted year without the Chen brothers in Deqing, and soon it was spring.

This spring is unusual. The weather hasn't warmed up yet. Signs of drought are already being seen. Fortunately, this small drought did not affect the spring plowing of the five counties and one government in Deqing, because Chen Yuanheng had made sufficient preparations and built many canals. Therefore, although it has not rained now, because of the storage of the aqueduct, the people have completed the spring ploughing smoothly.

In this year's spring ploughing, Chen Yuanheng vigorously promoted new crops such as cold-tolerant cotton, corn and sweet potatoes. Therefore, Deqing's production was still not affected.

But the people of several nearby states and counties were killed. Originally, there would have been a spring famine in the spring. Now that the drought has intensified, some of the people in their families who are very poor can no longer survive. The people who couldn't live flocked to Deqing Mansion.

However, because the scale of the drought is not large, the number of people fleeing the famine is not large, and most of them appear in a scattered manner. Therefore, Deqing quickly digested it, and it was useless for the government to come forward.

This is due to the fact that Deqing's business is very prosperous. Because of the stock of trade fairs, the things produced in Deqing are easy to sell, so there are many workshops in Deqing.

There are carpentry workshops, iron workshops, and workshops that specialize in making all kinds of food, such as preserved workshops, pastry workshops, and Song family's bean curd workshop. and Wen Hui taught these people to be fans, so fan clubs are also everywhere.

In addition to these, there are also some ready-to-wear workshops that have received orders, and there are also small workshops that help Cui Jinlou produce buckles, shoes, lace and the like.

There are many kinds of workshops, but there are a lot of them, and they are worried that they will not be able to recruit enough people, but now there are more of these victims, and they are very happy and busy recruiting them back to their homes. As a result, all the victims were recruited, and there were still many workshops that did not have enough people.

In such a situation, of course Chen Yuanheng is very happy, the government has not spent a penny of effort to solve the problem, of course it is a great political achievement, Chen Yuanheng is not a person who works hard, Chen Yuanheng was born in a family in the capital and is the best at publicizing himself, and he has prepared a fold early to express his achievements.

With the noble concubine Niangniang blowing the wind beside him, Chen Yuanheng soon won the emperor's praise again. However, this time it was a verbal praise and did not give anything, even this made Chen Yuanheng proud for many days.

Chen Wenhui took the opportunity to say: "Father, I used to say that no business is not rich, but you still don't agree with it, do you see it now?" If there was no business, would it be possible to solve these victims so smoothly? How many people can be fed just by relying on those few acres of land? Or business comes quickly. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "However, if everyone goes to business, no one farms, and the fields are barren, what will everyone eat?" You can't gnaw gold, can you? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I didn't say that I don't want agriculture at all, but agriculture allows a small number of people to grow, and most of them are still workers. If the food of the Great Chu Dynasty is not enough to eat, we have money, so can we buy it from foreign countries? For example, those places in the south, such as Nanyang, are good places to produce food, where they can be harvested three times a year, or even four times a year, and a small country can feed all of our people. ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "These are probably what you saw from those travelogues and miscellaneous notes." The books are not necessarily true, but you are right, Nanyang is indeed a good place to produce grain, which was confirmed by Emperor Guangwu when he was there. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the people had nothing to eat, and Emperor Guangwu had three major strategies, one was to eat from the mountains, one was to eat from the sea, and the other was to eat from the South Seas. ”

Chen Wenhui didn't know this, it turned out that this Fusu classmate was still so capable. Wen Hui opened a pair of big black eyes and listened to her father's speech with great interest.

Chen Yuanheng saw that his daughter liked to listen to it, so he said more energetically: "What you want to eat in the mountains is to organize a hunting team to hunt a large number of wild beasts from the mountains, this is all meat, so don't you have something to eat?" If you want to eat in the sea, it is even simpler, that is, we have built a fleet, organized fishermen to go to the sea to fish, and the fish is also eaten. ”

Chen Wenhui thought in her heart, this should be a whale. Fusu really dares to eat it, whale meat, Chen Wenhui has never eaten it in his previous life, but he has seen live whales in the aquarium, he really yearns for it, if only he could eat it here. These wild beasts and rare birds in the mountains, as well as whales in the sea, were precious animals in previous lives, where can they be eaten? It's illegal to eat this, but there's no animal protection law here, so you really need to try it when you have the chance.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui was greedy. Chen Yuanheng didn't notice his daughter's gluttony, and continued: "The third thing to eat from Nanyang is difficult. First of all, Emperor Guangwu led the army to conquer the Nanban, which led to today's Xiangzhou, Guizhou, and Yuezhou, and then, the army has been opening southward, conquering the Nanyang, and found a place that is very suitable for planting rice in the Nanyang. It's really what you say, you can grow three or even four times a year. It's a pity that the humidity and heat in the south are too great, and the army is very unsuitable, and they were soon driven back by the local natives, and they can get Xiangzhou, Guizhou and Yuezhou. Later, when Emperor Guangwu was old, he did not go south again. ”

Chen Wenhui listened with relish and asked, "What about later?" Did the later emperor continue his expedition to the south? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Later, after the death of Emperor Guangwu, his sons fought for the country, engaged in palace fighting, and engaged in party struggle, and everyone's energy was focused on seizing power, where is there still the mood to expand the territory." Later, the Central Plains region declined, the northern barbarians rose, and everyone put their minds on dealing with the barbarians, where are they still thinking about Nanyang. In fact, let alone Nanyang now, the three states in the south are gradually disobedient to the rule of the Central Plains, most of them are under the jurisdiction of officials produced among the local people, and they do not pay tribute to the imperial court, and the officials sent by the imperial court cannot adapt there, and gradually, it becomes a place of exile. ”

Chen Wenhui was stunned when she heard this, history is really stubborn, the great foundation created by Fusu was ruined like this, it is really a palace fight, seizing power and harming people.

Here, the Chen father and daughter are still in the mood to talk about the past and the present, and the Jinjun Mansion in the capital is cloudy. In fact, after these few months, Chen Wenfeng has been in happiness, Liu Yan is very good to her, almost a special favor, of course, in her inconvenient days, Liu Yan did not stay alone in the empty room, but went to the two Tongfang who had already stored zài.

This made the two rooms even more arrogant in front of Chen Wenfeng, and they simply didn't take Chen Wenfeng seriously. Chen Wenfeng's eldest maids Hongxing and Yu Li were angry, but Chen Wenfeng didn't take it seriously, she was born in a family and had long been mentally prepared for this kind of thing, although there was sourness in her heart, but it did not affect Chen Wenfeng's calm response.

Chen Wenfeng first subdued the original internal and external stewards in the palace, as well as some stewards in important positions, and also placed his own manpower everywhere. After doing this, Chen Wenfeng began to clean up the two rooms, sometimes giving them less things that should be sent, sometimes deliberately sending them to be some rough men, sometimes doing some small tricks in their diet, such as making them diarrhea and the like, after a few times, these two people began to cry in front of Liu Yan.
