Chapter 194: Eat for nothing and live for nothing
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Yes, isn't this the fourth prince who has become the governor of the three provinces?" But this is a new position, and the official office has not yet been established? Therefore, the four princes lived in our house temporarily. Of course we ate at our house. ”
Wen Hui's face fell: "Then what is this, the officials of the imperial court, eat and live in our house for nothing?" ”
Bai is strange, his daughter has always been a generous and kind-hearted person, when she was only six years old, because she sympathized with Mingzhu's experience, she helped Mingzhu, and later asked herself to recognize Mingzhu as a righteous daughter, this Mingzhu was almost raised in her own house. Why do you hate Liu Yan so much this time, and you don't even plan to give Liu Yan a meal? You must know that more than a month ago, in order to help Liu Yan, her daughter traveled thousands of miles to Heyang Prefecture and Suzhou for disaster relief.
Chen Yuanheng was also surprised by his daughter's reaction and said: "Hui'er, these four princes have become the governors of the three provinces, and they govern the three provinces, even if they are fathers, they are also under his jurisdiction." These three provinces are Heyang Prefecture, Huzhou, and Suzhou, among which our Huzhou is in the middle, that is, in order to facilitate the management in the future, we will also set up the yamen in Huzhou, so we will not live in Qingyang City. Living here, and now the yamen is still under construction, of course he lives in our house, but he is also your cousin-in-law. ”
Wen Hui pursed her lips and did not make a sound. As he was talking, the red carp had already invited the fourth prince Liu Yan to come over. As soon as Liu Yan came, the room was suddenly full of bright lights, and Wen Hui was very polite.
Liu Yan reversed his cold appearance in the past, and said gently: "Wen Hui, are you back?" When I arrived a few days ago, I asked the third aunt, where have you been? The third aunt told me that you went to Heyang Prefecture to deal with the autumn planting affairs of those granges. It's really capable, it's only ten years old, it's still a girl's family, it's so capable, if it's older, won't it become more and more capable? We're all going to step aside. ”
Liu Jingyuan, who came with him, looked at Liu Yan, who suddenly became gentle, in some surprise, and did not speak. Wen Hui didn't even pay attention to Liu Yan, and after meeting Liu Jingyuan, she asked Liu Jingyuan directly: "Brother Liu, are you here?" Have you seen Sister Mingzhu? Why didn't Brother Yi come? ”
Liu Yan took a look at Wen Hui's posture. asked about Zhao Chongyi again, and his eyes couldn't help but darken. Liu Jingyuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Ayi, he originally came with us, but when he walked halfway, he was chased back by his father. This northwest is a little unpeaceful, and the imperial court asked Zhao Guogong to lead troops to the northwest to resist. His father took him to the Iron Wall. ”
This surprised Chen Wenhui and asked, "The northwest is not peaceful again?" It's only been a few years since we won the war, why don't these barbarians remember to eat? ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "But isn't it? These barbarians are the most hateful, and you beat him. And he withdrew. You retreated. He's here again, and he's so annoying. I don't know how much money and grain the imperial court spends on this every year, because in this place where money is burned, the imperial court river cannot be repaired. There is no way to build a canal, and there is no way to dredge the canal, which is really a mistake. ”
Chen Wenhui hated the barbarians again, and said: "This barbarian is so hateful, isn't there a way to do it once and for all?" ”
Liu Jingyuan smiled: "These barbarians live by water and grass, grazing for a living, and they don't know how to grow crops, once they don't have anything to eat, they come to knock on the pass, the Central Plains is a paradise-like place for them, there is gold and silver everywhere, and there is food everywhere." Wear silk. Porcelain. We also wanted to go over and fight them, but the outside of the pass was very large, it was an endless grassland, and they had no fixed place to live, and we had the next one after we beat this tribe. After several years of fighting, we couldn't clean it up, and we ourselves were trapped in it, and finally we were defeated and returned. After a few years, we haven't raised our vitality yet, and their children have grown up, the population has increased, and they have nothing to eat, and they come to knock again, which is really annoying. In the end, the imperial court can only resist the Lord in this way. ”
Chen Wenhui frowned.
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about these big things after eating." Let's go to the dining room first, and in a moment, the food will be cold. Today I made a very good dish, and we don't often make it, because it costs too much material, and this is the Buddha jumping over the wall. There is also a special dish, which doesn't cost anything, but the test of knife skills, either the chef who is good at kung fu can't do it at all, or the three threads, you taste it, these two dishes Hui'er also likes to eat, Hui'er, you too, how can a girl's family be interested in these. ”
Chen Wenhui also felt embarrassed, making people starve and wait, but she couldn't stop talking. So we went to dinner together.
Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan both like to eat the Chen family's food. After returning to the capital, they missed the Chen family's food very much, fortunately there was Qinghelou, so they went to Qinghelou in the capital to eat, but no matter how they ate, they didn't feel as exquisite as Chen's mansion.
After dinner, according to the usual practice, Chen Wenhui was going to follow her parents to Bai's upper room to discuss things, she found that Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan also went to Bai's upper room very consciously, and couldn't help but support their foreheads, it seems that these two people are also used to going to Bai's upper room after dinner to discuss matters, what is this called, this Liu Yan eats and lives at home for nothing, and has to work in her house.
Chen Yuanheng and his family did not feel uncomfortable at all, and naturally began to talk to Liu Yan about the establishment of the three provinces according to the yamen. In their discussion, Chen Wenhui gradually understood that this time Liu Yan became the governor of the three provinces, and Emperor Liu Jingyuan also gave him an official position, he was actually an official of the fifth grade, and he was a subordinate official of the three provinces, which means deputy. Of course, the highest is Liu Yan, the patrol of the three provinces is the official of the second grade, which means that Liu Yan's career started from the second grade, and the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion is really high. But this is also inevitable, who made his father the emperor.
Because of the hurry of leaving Beijing, Liu Yan did not bring the princess Chen Wenfeng over, saying that he would wait until the yamen was built and then take Chen Wenfeng over. Liu Jingyuan was also in a hurry to leave Beijing, but his parents were already on their way to Jiangnan, and they were about to propose to Mingzhu with gifts. This makes Wen Hui very happy, her best friend has settled for life, and she is still with the person she likes, this is the best ending.
Liu Jingyuan invited Chen Yuanheng as a matchmaker, and of course Chen Yuanheng agreed.
When they were all finished, Chen Wenhui planned to go back to the room. Originally, Chen Wenhui was going to report to his parents about going to Heyang Prefecture after dinner, but when he saw that Liu Jingyuan and Liu Yan were there, he didn't speak. How did Chen Yuanheng see that Wen Hui was leaving, so he said, "Why is Hui'er leaving?" Didn't you bring the account book and tell me and your mother about the situation in Heyang Prefecture? ”
Chen Wenhui was very embarrassed, how can she say this, does she want to say that because there are outsiders, she doesn't want people to know the situation of her family's fields, so she doesn't plan to say it now?
At this time, Liu Yan said: "Wen Hui doesn't think it's hard to talk about me and Ah Yuan, in fact, what is this?" When your family bought this land, I went with Brother Lin to buy it from White Thorn Shi. At that time, I wanted to know how you would manage this land after you bought it, and I was also eager to learn, but unfortunately I had to go back to the capital to restore my life, and I thought that if I had the opportunity, I would definitely ask you how to manage it when I saw Brother Lin. Who knows, it's such a coincidence, my father actually asked me to come to Jiangnan as the patrol of the three provinces, just enough to ask you face to face how to manage it. I still want to go to Heyang Prefecture to see for myself in the future. ”
Chen Wenhui's hateful teeth itched, and she thought to herself, you don't know what a trade secret is, I've told you everything, how can I make money?
Liu Jingyuan on the side was very surprised, what happened to this fourth child? There are so many words today, they have not said so much in a year since they were together before, it seems that there is a problem here. I must have missed something.
At this time, Chen Yuanheng said: "Oh, the fourth prince is Wen Feng's husband, that is, our family, what else can't be said." In fact, Hui'er is very capable, she takes care of these granges by herself, and she also has a complete plan. I was thinking about letting the Four Princes see that if our Zhuangzi succeeded, we could promote it to the three states. ”
Chen Wenhui was even more depressed. At this time, Bai Shi also smiled and said: "Yes, I boast that I am very good at managing the industry, but who knows that my daughter is not capable of it." Hui'er, hurry up and talk about it. ”
Chen Wenhui was so depressed that she was about to vomit blood, so she had no choice but to open the account book and say: "We have a total of three Zhuangzi in Heyang Prefecture, and my original plan was to build a house for us to settle in each Zhuangzi, and also build some houses for long-term workers to live in." As a result, when I got there, I saw that the three Zhuangzi already had large mansions, all of which had been built by the previous owners. This one is omitted. I arranged for Li Huan to recruit long-term workers, all of whom should be young and middle-aged, preferably with a family, and a wife who is also capable of being able to do so, and it is best to have only one or two children. Wait until the wheat is planted, and then let them start building houses, roads, and canals. I can get all of this done in about a winter. In this way, after the beginning of spring, they can bring their families over. ”
Liu Jingyuan made a rough calculation in his heart and said: "Wen Hui, if you do this, in a year, just the money for hiring long-term workers, as well as the money for building houses and building roads, will cost more than buying land?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and said: "I bought the land because I picked up a leak and made a bargain, but after I plan it, I will definitely be able to come back tenfold." ”
Liu Jingyuan calculated, oh my God, this tenfold return is millions of taels of silver. That's a big number. This made Liu Jingyuan, who was originally from a rich family, startled. Is this Chen Wenhui a fairy under the seat of the God of Wealth?
