Chapter 126: I'll take care of it for you

Zhao Chongyi looked at Chen Wenhui with admiration, he was really smart, such a brain, such a person, he must not miss it.

Chen Wenhui continued: "The effect is slower, but slowly, the people of the Central Plains go to Nanyang and Yizhou Island to buy land, and the price of land in the Central Plains has dropped again and again, and the people will definitely be able to live a better life than now." To develop Yizhou Island, the people of Nanyang can be fortunate to have land to plant, clothing, houses to live in, and live a good life, because the Nanyang climate is good, crops grow fast, and they can plant two or even three seasons a year, and the people will inevitably be able to lay more grain, make money, and accumulate a family business. And the people who stayed in the Central Plains, because of the reduction in land prices, many landless people can buy land, have land, and have food, isn't it very good? Of course, there will be those who are lazy and lazy, they are not diligent, naturally they cannot accumulate family business, and naturally they cannot eat enough. The law of nature is the survival of the fittest, just let these people be eliminated by nature, I don't feel sorry for such people. ”

Zhao Chongyi immediately said: "My concept is the same as Hui'er's, people who are diligent and housekeepers are worthy of respect, but those who are easy and hard work are better eliminated by nature." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled. Chen Wenlin said: "However, if the land of Yizhou Island and Nanyang is developed, what will we do, won't it become what it is today?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yizhou Island is actually very large, enough for our Dachu to develop for decades, but Nanyang is bigger than Yizhou Island, even bigger than Dachu, and such a large land is enough for us to develop for hundreds of years." It's all developed, my brother has seen the sea trade map, and there are Americas, Europe, Oceania, and a lot of land in this world. When it's all developed, maybe the millennium has passed, and that's not something we can think about. ”

Chen Wenlin thinks about it. laughed.

Chen Wenhui continued: "In addition to developing new land, it is also necessary to develop industry and commerce. This. Needless to say, my father should know very well. When we were in Huzhou, we encouraged the people to develop industry and commerce, and even lent them money, so that Huzhou produced more, the businessmen who did business became richer, and the government received more taxes. The people made money and became rich because they went to work in the workshops. ”

Chen Wenlin and Chen Yuanheng both nodded. They've experienced it firsthand. Zhao Chongyi frowned and asked: "However, the money earned by working is more than the money earned from farming, if the people all go to work, who farms the land and where does the food come from, won't it hurt the country?" This is our Great Chu to build a country with agriculture. Restrictions on business and commerce. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Hehe, now there is no longer a zài food problem in Dachu. Didn't you find it in the military? In recent years, many places in Dachu have been affected by disasters, and there have been droughts. There are floods, there are military disasters, but are there any food shortages in your army? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "Those veterans in the army all said that in the past, as long as Dachu was affected, the food in the army could not be guaranteed, and hunger was a common thing for those veterans. But now, because of the large amount of overseas food supply, the army eats overseas food. There are disasters in Dachu, but there are no overseas? The Wa kingdom was devastated by the disaster. We can't eat the grain of the Wa Kingdom anymore, we can eat Goguryeo. Goguryeo can't eat it, we can eat Silla's, Silla is also affected, we can eat Yiju Island's. ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Yes, the people in the clan land also say the same. Because the clan land is in the northeast, there are many severe colds, and the grain can only grow once a year, and it is normal for the people in the clan to be hungry. However, since the beginning of the sea trade, the food of the clan has been greatly guaranteed. Moreover, because of the relationship between our Xiao Chen family and the maritime trade, many special production capacity of the clan were exchanged for food, cloth, especially cotton cloth, which made the life of the clan much better. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, I understand, in fact, because of the supply of overseas grain, Dachu now has the conditions for the development of industry and commerce. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "These methods have not yet been accepted by the imperial court, even if they are accepted, they cannot be realized in one or two years, it may take a hundred or two hundred years to achieve, but as long as they are used in these two methods, the lives of the people will definitely be improved." No matter how rich you are, at least you have clothes to wear and something to eat, and you won't be living a life without clothes and food like you are now. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, what Hui'er said is very reasonable, I still want to give the emperor an excerpt." ”

Bai said: "Okay, the upper fold is not something that can be written now, the kitchen has just cooked the meal, let's eat first." ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed and said: "Look, the guests are at home, I actually forgot about eating, I'm really sorry for Chongyi." Let's go to dinner, ma'am, take out the wine from the royal gift, and I'm going to get drunk with Chongyi today. ”

Bai smiled and told the red carp to go and get the wine.

The meal was very harmonious, and during the meal, Chen Wenhui suddenly asked Zhao Chongyi: "By the way, Brother Yi, do you still live in the Jin Palace?" ”

Zhao Chongyi grinned and said, "How come, I have seen my majesty, is my grandmother kind enough to let me set off from the palace of the king of Jin to see your majesty?" The palace also gave me a lot of things, do I want to open the incense case in the Jin Palace? So, my grandmother invited me back early. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled, this Zhao Chongyi, looking rude, is actually very careful and strategic.

Bai said: "Your mother-in-law is still a face-saving person, so she won't let you go outside like this." ”

Zhao Chongyi suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, Mrs. Chen, I thought about it, it seems that my sister-in-law persuaded my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law plans to bring her ignorant sister to the house in two days to compensate Wen Hui." ”

Wen Hui pouted and said, "Who wants him to pay compensation?" Not uncommon. ”

Bai said: "Hitting someone is not a slap in the face, if she really comes, we can't refuse, we also have to consider face." It's just that reconciliation is okay, and in the future, everyone knows who each person is, and it is impossible to become friends. This is really sorry for Chongyi. ”

Zhao Chongyi shook his hand and said, "Where can you not stand me?" I'm not the same thing as them, I'm in that family, I only recognize my father, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and others, all of which have nothing to do with me. My three younger sisters, firstly, are not the same mother's compatriots, and secondly, they are all arrogant and domineering, and I have not been less angry with them, where can I feel sorry for them. And, I think, like them, when trouble comes later. This eldest sister is indecent, arrogant, and has killed herself, and the second sister enters the palace, I don't think it's a good thing, don't involve the family, otherwise, we will all be unlucky. ”

Bai Shi looked at her husband, and then at Wen Hui, and suddenly had a hint of realization in her heart, Wen Hui suddenly became cold to Zhao Chongyi, is it related to the complicated situation in Zhao Chongyi's family? If you look at it from this aspect, the Zhao family is really a mess and it's not a good choice, but from the perspective of Zhao Chongyi, it's really a good son-in-law who can't be found with a lantern. But the situation at home is too complicated, and it will be his daughter who suffers, so it's better to bear the pain and cut his love. But thinking about it again, my daughter is only eleven years old this year, and it's still early to talk about marriage, so let's observe and observe. Who knows who will meet and what will happen in the future?

Bai's mind was racing here, and Chen Wenhui was asking Zhao Chongyi: "Brother Yi, aren't you Your Majesty?" I think it's very popular with the emperor, and I gave you a reward, what is it? ”

As soon as Zhao Chongyi mentioned this, he couldn't help but say with his eyebrows fluttering: "Your Majesty, I used to be common. Therefore, this time His Majesty was not nervous, the emperor treated me like a nephew, spoke very casually, and asked me a lot of questions, such as the customs of the northwest, some situations in the army? In fact, every battle report was reported to the Ministry of War in detail, and the emperor was very clear, so he didn't ask much about the situation in the army, most of them asked about the customs and customs of the northwest. I told the emperor what Hui'er said to me that day, of course, I didn't say that it was Hui'er's opinion. The emperor listened to it very curiously and thought about it for a long time. He praised me and rewarded me with many things. There is imperial wine, there is silk, and there is a cotton cloth that you have recently made, and there is a small Zhuangzi on the edge of the capital, about more than 1,000 acres, and a small courtyard, I have been going to accept this small Zhuangzi in the past two days. ”

After speaking, Zhao Chongyi said to Wen Hui again: "Haven't you thanked Sister Hui'er yet?" I plagiarized your idea, Sister Hui'er doesn't blame me, does she? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What's this, where will I blame you, besides, I just said this when I was chatting with you, the specific things are what you think, and it is also what you and the emperor said, where there is any credit for me, don't take it to heart." I see that you get things, and the Grange, and it's too late to rejoice for you. By the way, your grange is your own thing, and it can't be managed by the government, will you manage it yourself? Why don't I take care of it for you? Farming, I have disciples of the Hei family here, all of whom are masters, and they can also promote new varieties, which will definitely make a little more money for your Zhuangzi. ”

Zhao Chongyi was overjoyed: "That's really thankful, I'm worried about this?" I'm not good at managing that. The affairs of our family are taken care of by my grandmother and sister-in-law, but my mother-in-law and I are not at odds with each other, and it is okay to trouble my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law has to take care of the whole family, and I have to serve my mother-in-law, and I have to take care of two ignorant sisters-in-law, I am already very tired, and I am embarrassed to let her help me take care of it. Thank you so much for me to take care of. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "No thanks, just say that, tomorrow you will take me to that Zhuangzi to see, how I will hand over to your housekeeper to take care of it." ”

Zhao Chongyi was about to speak, but Bai smiled and said, "Hui'er, you are planning to go to Nanyang, how can you help Chongyi manage the Zhuangzi on the edge of the capital?" (To be continued)
