Chen Wenhui didn't have time to see the appearance of Deqing City when she came to Deqing, and she was not even familiar with her own home, so she was dragged to follow Hu Shi to give free treatment to the victims.

The busy days passed quickly, and soon the first month of the new year came out, and it was seen that February was coming to an end. Three roads were built in Deqing City at the same time, one to the provincial capital and one to the other two county seats. Of course, he borrowed 100,000 yuan from Wang Yihe's bank.

Now Wang Yihe was very happy, because of the reason why the victims were coming, the rich families in Ancheng did not dare to put the silver in their own homes, and they all went to deposit it in Wang Yihe's bank. So the amount of silver in Jusheng Bank is rising by leaps and bounds, originally Wang Yihe was worried that so much silver would not be easy to lend, but now it is good, just Ancheng and Deqing City will use most of the silver to build roads, isn't this a steady profit?

The thing that made him even happier was that it was going to be spring and March, and spring ploughing had begun, and the early rice could be harvested in April, and beans could be planted.

Chen Yuanheng also borrowed money from the bank, and gave loans to farmers in Deqing Province and the other four counties, and like Anseong, he lent them money to buy bean seeds, as well as poultry and livestock, and Chen Yuanheng wanted to spread the experience of Ancheng. This should have been done a long time ago, because the victims suddenly arrived, and all the plans were disrupted.

Now that the victims of the disaster have settled down, they are all building roads, and they all have food and drink, Chen Yuanheng hurriedly seized the spring ploughing, and he couldn't patronize the people under his own rule.

Wang Yihe also opened the bank in Deqing City. The Lan family also moved their home to Deqing. After Bai finished the affairs of the Deqing Cherishing Nursery and remembered the spring ploughing at home, he arranged for Ziyu and Li Huan to plant corn and sweet potatoes on more than 1,000 acres of land in Deqing, as well as more than 1,000 acres of spring seeds newly bought in Deqing. There is no need to plant cotton this year, and the seeds have been bought by the Lan family. The Lan family has planted cotton all this year. Hopefully there will be more seeds in the autumn so that it can be promoted.

Hu Shi was not very familiar with these chores, and now he has to take care of patients every day. There was simply no time to deal with the Grange. Fortunately, Mingzhu has been trained by the Bai family for almost a year and understands better. He directly called the head of the grange to come to Deqing's house, reconciled the accounts, collected the rent, and then instructed the head of the village to go to Lijiagou to find Li Laoshi to ask for corn seeds, and plant all corn this year. Originally, Mingzhu still wanted to plant some sweet potatoes, but Lijiagou's sweet potato seeds were only enough to grow themselves, but fortunately, there were a lot of corn seeds. I had to plant corn all of them. Mingzhu explained to his head that he must plant this corn well, and after this autumn harvest, all of it will be sold as seeds, and the price of seeds is very high.

Zhuang Tou knew that his owner had a good relationship with the prefect. It must be next year to promote new seeds, so that the ones on their own Zhuangzi can be sold as seeds, and now it is good, not only the owners can make more money, but the tenants can also make more money. I had to hurry back and watch the tenants plant well.

It's almost settled. On this day, it was already the middle of spring and March, the sun was fine, Chen Wenhui was in a good mood, and suddenly heard a commotion outside. Hurriedly sent a small guy to inquire, the little guy came back after a while, ran out of breath, and looked ecstatic: "It's a great thing, we won, the barbarians retreated, and the iron wall pass was taken back again." ”

This sentence was like a bomb, and the victims who were seeing a doctor in the courtyard were boiling, and many people left tears. Not only the victims, but also the little maids and mothers-in-law in the yard are boiling, although they are locals and have not experienced war, but during this period of time, they are always vigilant, for fear that the barbarians will come to the south. Now that the army of the imperial court has won, the barbarians have retreated, the Tiebi Pass has returned, and the days of peace have come again.

I don't know who started it, and the yard began to sing a desolate song, "Picking the weed, picking the weed, and the wee stopping." It is said that it will return, and the years will not end. The house is beautiful, because of the descent. Not to mention the start of the house, because of the sting. Picking the weed, picking the weed, the weeds are also soft. When he returns, his heart is also worried. Worried, hungry and thirsty. I am undecided, and I will be hired.

Picking the weed, picking the weed, the wee also just stopped. It is said that the return is said to be returned, and the years are also yang. The king's affairs are in a hurry, and he will not be left behind. I'm worried, I can't do it! What is Bilvi? The Glory of Normalcy. What is Belus? A gentleman's car. The car is both driving, and the four peony industry is in the industry. How dare you settle down? Three victories in January. He has four peons, and four peons are sloppy. The gentleman is relied on, and the villain is retained. Four peony wings, like a fish suit. Wouldn't it be a daily abstinence? Horns! In the past, I went back, and the willows followed. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. ”

Everyone sang the last sentence repeatedly, "In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there." Now I think about it, rain and snow", followed by the singing outside, the whole city resounded with singing, and on the construction site outside the city, next to the houses built by the victims, this song sounded.

The singing voice is desolate and low, Chen Wenhui also heard this song in her previous life, but it was performed by a singer, there is no such low and heavy feeling, listening to Chen Wenhui's face is full of tears. Ancheng and Deqing City all sounded this song, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River were used to singing the lotus picking song, and when they heard this desolate and low singing, they were all moved to tears.

On this day, everyone went home very early, Chen Yuanheng looked at the family in the room, and Hu Shi and Mingzhu were also there. smiled and said: "Why are you like this, the army of our court has won the battle, we no longer have to worry about the barbarians coming back to Jiangnan, the barbarians have been driven back to the outside of the Iron Wall Pass." Why aren't you upset? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Originally, everyone was very happy, at first they were still singing and dancing, but later, those victims were homesick, missing their relatives who died on the road and died under the iron riding of the barbarians, they all cried and sang that song, and everyone felt very uncomfortable when they listened to it." ”

Chen Yuanheng sighed and said: "Yes, this time I am fortunate to drive the barbarians back, next time, we have been fighting in the house, seizing the heirs, standing in line, every dynasty is like this, the officials don't think about how to resist foreign enemies, they just want to seize the military power and fight." But what about the barbarians, I heard that the children of the barbarians can ride horses, and the women can shoot arrows, and they are fighting every day, always wanting to attack the Central Plains, how good our Central Plains are, there are food, silk, porcelain, and tea These are what they want all the time. They barbarians are desperate, and we, we are still standing in line, fighting among themselves. ”

Chen Wenjun listened to the contemplation on his face. The Bai family and the Hu family didn't think about it so much, but they didn't react, Chen Wenhui was full of emotion, yes, in the previous life, it was because each generation of the feudal dynasty was consumed in internal fighting, that it was invaded by foreign races again and again, first the Mongols, then the Manchus, and then the Western countries, and the Central Plains suffered too much.

In this life, it is still like this, in the face of the threat of the northwest barbarians, the imperial court is still thinking about fighting for power and profit.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Bai Shi hurriedly diverted the topic: "This northwest has been recovered, and I think the victims can go home." ”

These words pulled Chen Yuanheng back: "It's not so fast, I still have to clean up the battlefield and other things, and it will take a month to return at the earliest." However, the victims of the disaster in other places are already returning. We have good food and drink and work to do for the victims here, and it is estimated that we will return one after another after the project is completed. After all, it costs money to go home and rebuild, and many of the victims want to earn some money before leaving. ”

Bai said: "This is also true. Then our roads will be repaired. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed: "Speaking of road repair, this thing is really unexpected, originally I thought that I was one of them, this road may not be repaired, I didn't expect that suddenly there were these disaster victims, seeing that the road was repaired, that is, I am now in a lot of debt, Ancheng is in debt of 100,000 taels of silver, Deqing is in debt of 200,000 taels of silver, plus 300,000 taels." Ancheng is okay, there is a foundation, it will be paid off in about two years, I don't know when this Deqing is, the former prefect didn't leave me a penny, and left a debt of thousands of taels. That's not all, I borrowed another 300,000 taels from the bank for spring ploughing, and distributed it to four counties and one government except Anseong for loans. I don't know when it's going to be back. ”

Hu Shi was startled when he heard this: "Oh my God, 600,000 taels of silver, I have never seen so much silver in my life, and this is still a debt." ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled: "It's okay, anyway, I didn't borrow it myself, it was borrowed by the yamen." ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "The 600,000 taels seem to be a lot, but 300,000 taels are borrowed by the people, and they should be repaid during the autumn harvest, and the 100,000 taels in Ancheng will definitely be repaid, and besides, it is Lord Huang's debt." Therefore, my father only had a debt of 200,000 taels. These 200,000 taels, I think it will be paid back soon, after all, Deqing is a mansion, and it must be better than Ancheng to manage it well. In addition, after a while, the road will be repaired, and as soon as the road is good, it will be much easier to do business, and agricultural products will be easier to sell, the market will prosper, the yamen's taxes will be more, and my father will naturally be able to repay the money quickly. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed when he said this: "Hui'er is still smart, in fact, I think so too, so although there are many debts, I don't worry at all." ”

Hu Shi also laughed, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Master Chen, I don't know if you can find out the news of my father after this account?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Lord Hu is an official of the imperial court, although he was demoted to a small official in the northwest, but he is also an official of the imperial court. After a while, the imperial court will first reward the people who fought in the war, and maybe you will see the name of Lord Hu at that time. Didn't anyone see Lord Hu practicing medicine in the army? ”

Hu's eyes moistened, and he said, "As long as my father, mother, and brothers can be safe, the credit is secondary." ”

ps：

Actually, when I wrote about the episodes of these victims, I cried, and it seems that the tears were too low.
