61_61522Gui Yuxia's family was also shocked when they heard that Chen Wenhui was going back to the capital next year. In the evening, everyone spontaneously came to Gui Yuxia's house, Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "Why did you come so complete today?" I didn't even post for you? Isn't this the time to get your business busy? ”

Gui Laohan couldn't answer, and asked very worriedly: "We heard that the city lord is getting married and wants to go back to the capital, and we are a little worried, thinking that although you are not in the yamen now, this news is still well-informed, and you should be able to know the quasi-letter." ”

Gui Yuxia said: "This is Zhun Xin, I have already gone to the deputy city lord to ask." The deputy city lord said that the county lord was giving a marriage, and after the New Year, after the river in the north thawed, he could set off. There are many ceremonies for this big family to get married, and it is estimated that the county lord will not be able to come back until the New Year after the next year at the earliest. However, I think that if we come back this time, maybe we will be able to come back with the horses, so that we will be able to build Nanyang faster. Jun Ma Ke is a military general, even the barbarians can be defeated, with him and the city lord of Tianshui City joining forces, the small countries of Nanyang are still swept away? At that time, we were building cities quickly. At that time, the county lord will inevitably raise funds to build the city, and at that time, we must save enough money, this is a way to make money. ”

Everyone began to be excited about such a bright prospect.

But Gui Laohan was not moved, he still said worriedly: "Since it is a quasi-letter, the city lord is going back to the capital, so can you go back?" After the city lord is gone, what will we do in Qingchun City? Will the imperial court send another official to manage it? Qingchun City has developed so fast, and I think it is because there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the city lord also teaches everyone how to make a fortune every once in a while, and gives us loans to open up wasteland for a while. Give us a loan to do business in a while, so that we can make a fortune. You are living a good life now, have you forgotten that when we were in Dachu, we had no food to eat, no food to drink, and a family huddled together and encountered a famine. Even Yuxia was sent to the palace. Otherwise, how can you all grow up? Life is so hard. Is it because we are too lazy to eat? It's because there are a lot of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the landlord takes some of the income from farming in a year. The rest of the sleep tax, where is there enough for the family to eat and drink, isn't it Yuxia who sends money from the palace to subsidize it every year? ”

Speaking of the old days, everyone fell silent. Although the past few years have been good, everyone has not forgotten the hard days of the past.

Da Niu said: "I understand what my father-in-law meant. It's because I'm afraid that after the city lord leaves, if he doesn't come back, or the time to leave is too often, or the court suddenly says. The city lord is a female streamer, and after getting married, he is not suitable to be an official, so he will not let the city lord preside over the work of Qingchun City. Another official was sent, and when the time came. After the officials of Da Chu came, according to Da Chu's management methods, there were too many taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and we were going to live a poor life again, right? ”

Gui Laohan nodded and said, "You are all young, and you have experienced few things. Do you think our family has always had a hard time? In the past, when I was young, I also met a good official, that Qingtian lord, what a good official, when he was in office, everyone in our village became rich. Da Niu, your family will have two acres of land left later, and it was at that time that your father and mother bought it. At that time, your father and mother did not have two acres of land, but more than a dozen acres of good fields. Our family is more difficult, and we also have four or five acres of land. But later, the official left, and the later officials, just like the previous officials, levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes, dug three feet of land, and not only did we lose money, but we also slowly sold our fields, and finally became tenant farmers of the landlords, and in the end we didn't even have anything to eat. When Yuxia was older, because of a drought, she simply starved to death, there was no way, we just sent Yuxia into the palace, and this saved the emergency. Da Niu, your family has few children, and your father and mother just sold most of the land and got through the difficulties, and did not sell their children. ”

They don't know these Gui Da, Gui Yuxia has a vague impression, and when she hears it at the moment, she also understands.

Gui Laohan said: "Because we have suffered this loss, we are afraid that as soon as the city lord leaves, this day will change." Can you not be worried? ”

After Da Niu heard this, he also looked at Gui Yuxia with blazing eyes, and Gui Yuxia said with a smile: "Father, you have thought too much. This Qingchun City is different from the city of Dachu. ”

Thinking about how to say it, they could understand, and after thinking for a long time, they said: "Although our Qingchun City is a place of Great Chu. He also respects the emperor of Dachu as the emperor. However, our army is self-fed, and we don't use Da Chu's money. Our officials and servants are all supported by their own cities, and they do not use the money and food of Da Chu. The construction of this city, every grass and tree is the money of the county lord, and it actually has nothing to do with Da Chu. This city does not need to be like the Great Chu Nagong, which is the private property of the county lord himself. ”

Saying this, everyone's eyes widened, and Gui Da couldn't help but say, "Mom, this city is the private property of the city lord, how rich is the city lord?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "You envy just by seeing that this city is the city lord, don't you want to think about it, how much money was spent on the construction of this city?" The money was taken by the county lord alone. ”

When everyone thought about it, they didn't dare to forget it. Da Niu's brother-in-law Jiang Shishi couldn't help but say: "This is a lot of money." Not to mention the materials used in these walls, the streets, the docks, and the roads, how much is the salary of so many people? Also, when you came, what did you pay for the food, and even the clothes belonged to the city lord, how much did it cost? Now every time I come from 500 to 1,000 people from Dachula, the expenses along the way are very objective, not to mention the tens of thousands of you at the beginning? ”

Gui Yuxia nodded and said, "So, when this city arrives, it is the county lord's." In the future, the county lord will get married, which is also the county lord's dowry, which will be inherited to the county lord's son in the future. Not to mention the emperor, even the husband of the county lord has no right to manage. Therefore, it is impossible for Da Chu to send officials. ”

Gui Erzhi smacked his tongue and said: "A city is a dowry, who married the city lord and didn't get a lot of light?" ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "It's not a city. It is three cities, as well as the three acropolis of Qingchun City. ”

Luo Hu hurriedly asked, "Isn't it Qingchun City and Vermilion Bird City?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "The county lord has already said that although she is not in Qingchun City, she has received the money for the construction of the city before, and this construction will continue, first go to the Spice Islands to build, where three cities have been set to be built, and the county lord's one is called Yumei City." The name given by the emperor. ”

Wei Gang said: "The name of Yumei City is good, and at first glance, you can tell that it is for the city lord, this girl's family." ”

When Gui Laohan heard that there would be no officials from Da Chu, his heart was already half relieved, and he asked: "So, it doesn't matter if the city lord is gone, what should we do?" ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "Father, don't worry when you're old." It's not that the county lord hasn't left Qingchun City. Before, during the Chinese New Year, didn't you go to Xinguang City for two months? Our city affairs are all handed over to the ten thousand deputy city lords, isn't there no delay in anything? Later, the city lord of Tianshui City was the elder brother of the county lord, got married, went to Dachu, and went for more than half a year, and it was not the county lord who went to Tianshui City to preside. At that time, our city was also reforming, didn't it not delay, didn't the deputy city lord carry out the reform of the city very well? ”

Everyone thinks about it, but in fact, there are really many times when this city lord leaves the city.

Gui Yuxia said: "It's all a long time, didn't you go to Tongren City for half a month for the Chinese New Year this year?" Let me tell you, now the city lord is not in the city, he went to Vermilion Bird City, in the future, the city lord will come back from Dachu, and he can't stay in Qingchun City all the time, but also go to Vermilion Bird City and Jade Rose City, right? ”

Gui Laohan said: "That's nature, that is, the rich man in our village, because there is a lot of land, he also wants to live in the town for a while, look at the land in the town, live in the village for a while, look at the land in our village." In the future, the city lord will have three cities, and there will be three acropolises, and each city will be patrolled once, and half a year will pass. ”

Gui Yuxia said: "So, the county lord is a smart person, she knows how to delegate power, and her subordinates are in charge of their own messes when there are things, even if she walks for a year or two, it doesn't matter." ”

Gui Laohan was relieved and said: "Actually, it is the same if this Qingchun City is handed over to the ten thousand deputy city lords, and the ten thousand deputy city lords are also well taken care of." We are not affected, and the Ten Thousand City Lords are now very fond of the clothes produced by your sisters' workshops. ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said: "Yes, in the past few years, my needlework has been matched by ten thousand deputy city lords, and she always asked me to make clothes for her, and if she does a good job, ten thousand deputy city lords will not hesitate to reward her." I have a clip for the little jewelry she gave me. Later, when I entered the yamen and got busy, she stopped asking me to make clothes, and specifically asked Jin Xia and Yin Xia to make clothes for her. He also rewarded Jin Xia and Yinxia with many things. Later, the three of us sisters auctioned off the embroidery workshop to start our own business. This blessed city lord has made more clothes in our workshop. It's a big customer. Not only does I have a good relationship with her, but also Jin Xia, and Yinxia also has a good relationship with her. ”

Gui Jinxia and Gui Yinxia both nodded with a smile. Gui Jinxia said: "Wan Deputy City Lord has no shelf at all, and often gives us rewards, not to mention, she is beautiful, has a high status, and is very rich, and the clothes she makes are uncountable, I see, she changes three sets a day, and she can't wear them all in her life." It's also thanks to her good figure, good looks, and any clothes. That's it, I'm worried about her, how can I put so many clothes? ”

Everyone laughed. (To be continued)
