Shui Han and Shui Lian hurriedly said: "The main reason is that we have too little rubber now. The rubber trees we planted will not produce rubber until the year after next at the earliest. So, wait. ”

Chen Wenhui held her chin with one hand and thought depressedly, how long will you have to wait?

After Chen Wenhui complained to the black family in her heart for a while, she began to look through the account book seriously. That's almost a day. In the middle, Chen Wenhui was tired, so she took Shui Lian and Shui Han to walk around the corridor, and then came back to see again. At noon, although the food was delicious, Chen Wenhui didn't eat much. After eating, I took a nap. This nap was a beautiful sleep.

In the afternoon, I will continue to look at the ledger.

After reading the account book, Chen Wenhui began to think about his own industry, and said to Shui Lian and Shui Han: "Send a letter to the Hei family and tell them that I am very dissatisfied, why haven't I studied the steam engine until now?" Also, our hospital is still short of people, so let them send people over. Also, we have recruited so many qualified seedlings here and sent them to the headquarters of Yizhou Island to study, but there are still fewer gentlemen from our academy, and we have to send more people. There is really no use for it, so we will recruit those students who have achieved academic success from our Qingchun City and more than a dozen cities in Nanyang. Anyway, the court gave them silver. And don't suffer. ”

"Also, I have read the account books of Baojingfang, and our current business is well managed by my sister-in-law. However, I think we can do it a little more elaborately and develop some high-end mirrors, such as gem-encrusted mirrors. In this way, our precious stones from the South Seas, as well as the silver and gold produced in Japan, can be used. ”

"The construction of several cities in Nanyang is okay, tell them that they can't rush to success, and the construction of cities is very important, especially the construction of underground. The climate of Nanyang is hot, the rainy season is very long, and every rainy season is easy to cause urban disasters, waterlogging, etc., so the sewer project must be passed. We're just going to do it now. There is no rush to build. ”

"And. It is very important that we also increase the policy of encouraging childbirth, and we must not relax the matter of recruiting people from Dachu. How can we develop without us? Also, the trade between our Nanyang and Nanjiang is doing well. The recruitment process is also very good. But. I think it could be better. Let them use snacks, don't be afraid to spend money and get people. In particular, those craftsmen who have the craft are the best, and the most important thing is that. ”

"By the way, speaking of which, Shuilian, how is Grandpa's industry? Where is the ledger? Show it to me. ”

Shuilian hurriedly went to get it, and came back and said, "This is the property of Grandpa's several places. One is the property that we helped my grandfather buy in Nanyang, and this year's income is about 200,000 taels of silver, and we put forward 100,000 taels of silver, according to the grandfather's previous explanation, and directly took it to Tiebi Pass, and my grandfather has been doing the matter of taking care of his colleagues. ”

"Also, this year, the Zhao family caravan gave the grandfather a dividend of 200,000 taels of silver, and the grandfather let him put it first, and later, if he thinks of something, he will use it again. It's in the bank first. ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and asked, "We didn't come to Tiebiguan before, so naturally we have to take care of the grandfather's comrades and those family members here." However, now, Tiebiguan is developing so fast, and there are hospitals and Yangshantang, isn't it a repeat for us to spend this money again? ”

Shui Lian hurriedly said: "No, we have investigated and found before that many people, and consciously, have Yangshantang to take care of, and the hospital to see a doctor, so they no longer go to the institution run by the grandfather to receive money, but some people, not much, still go to receive money, and are still receiving care from Yangshantang and the hospital." It's infuriating. ”

Chen Wenhui shook her head and said, "When Grandpa comes back, I'll talk to Grandpa, it's not okay to go on like this." It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. I look at this money, so let's cut it off from now on. We have developed the Iron Wall Pass, and these people will naturally live well. There is also a hospital, Yangshantang, we invest more than 500,000 taels of silver in this every year, ordinary people take care of it, and those soldiers who contribute to the country will not take care of it? ”

"However, after all, they are heroes, and it is better to have more benefits than ordinary people. You go to the bank and tell the bank, all those who were soldiers before, or are now soldiers, or are bereaved family members, as long as they issue a certificate and need a bank loan, they must be given priority and have the lowest interest. Isn't this better than simply giving a few dollars to encourage those people to start their own businesses? ”

Shuilian smiled and said, "This method is good. Then this year's 100,000 taels of silver have not been spent, so they simply won't send it over. What about Grandpa's manpower? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I'll tell my grandfather when I go back, those people will be assessed, and if they are really capable, we will recruit them to our workshop, bank, Yangshantang and other institutions." We are already short of manpower, and we are very short of people. Besides, the wages we pay are higher than those given by my grandfather. Those who are incapable of eating a corpse will be given a high severance pay, forget it. ”

Shuilian hurriedly wrote it down.

Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered something and asked: "Qiu Bi and the others are not too old, did they tell you what to do with their lifelong events?" Do you have a sweetheart? ”

Shui Lian and Shui Han glanced at each other and smiled.

Chen Wenhui said: "If there is a situation, you can tell it quickly." ”

Shuilian said: "Sister Qiubi and Sister Green Sprout have a crush and are under investigation." The two sisters are very picky, and they don't date if they are a little unsatisfactory. That's very decisive. Now it looks like it's going to work. One is a child of the Hei family, and the other is an official of our own government. I heard that the character is very good, and he is also very talented. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "It's so far away, let them do it themselves." A city can be managed well, and it won't be impossible to find a man, okay? When they are settled, you have to say that even if I can't marry them myself, I will have to give them a great reward. ”

Shui Lian and Shui Han were overjoyed, and they thanked Chen Wenhui instead of Qiu Bi and Green Bud.

Chen Wenhui asked, "What happened to Baguio and Cuiqiao?" ”

Shui Han said: "They don't have any news about this yet, so they may have to wait." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The two of them have parents. Probably their parents will worry about them. By the way, how are you four doing? ”

Shui Lian and Shui Han Fan blushed, especially Shui Han couldn't help frowning.

Chen Wenhui asked: "Do you have a crush on someone?" ”

Shuilian said: "We have only been at Tiebi Pass for more than a year, and it is when there are many things, where do we have the heart to care about this." Wait a few years. Actually, in my family, my wife has urged me several times. It's just that they are all on errands in the capital, and I am on an errand by the side of the county lord, and they also know that according to the rules, it is not their turn to speak for our marriage, and they all need the master to speak. So, they didn't say much. ”

Speaking of this, Shui Lian paused, looked at Shui Han, and did not say anything.

Chen Wenhui keenly found out and said to Shui Han: "In this case, Shui Han, you go and find Shui Hong and the two of them, and I will talk together." ”

Shui Han hurriedly went out.

As soon as Shui Han went out, Chen Wenhui asked: "Shui Lian, does Shui Han have a crush?" ”

Shui Lian smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from the county lord." Shui Han's family was in a hurry, and he didn't know why he was confused, and suddenly wanted to find someone for Shui Han, who was a wealthy businessman in the capital. I heard that it is a relative of Mrs. Li's companion in the second room of the mansion in the capital. Young and talented, handsome and golden. Coaxed Shui Han and her old son and mother fell into it, and sent a letter to Shui Han several times, asking Shui Han to ask for a favor in front of the county lord. However, Shui Han seems to have a sweetheart, and it is the troubles that tell me behind her back that she is confused. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a cold face: "Hmph, my second aunt's hand is too long, right?" It seems that over the years, she has lived a more comfortable life, and she thinks about it uncomfortable. Isn't the old lady of the cold water on an errand in our house? How can I still have a connection with the government over there? ”

Shui Lian hurriedly said: "Shui Han's mother and Mrs. Li's companion in the house over there are godsisters. Wasn't he coaxed by Mrs. Li's roommate? We also think this is Mrs. Lee's conspiracy. It is said that we people, after marrying with the girl, are not members of the Chen family, and even our old sons and daughters of the Xiao Chen family can't control us, why should Mrs. Li in the mansion on the other floor worry about us people? Don't you want to have any conspiracy against the county lord? Shui Han has already angrily written to her mother a few times. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a straight face: "Does my mother know about this?" ”

Shuilian hesitated for a moment and said, "I shouldn't know." Madame has always been strict, how can she tolerate this? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Our little Chen family is now a big family, and my mother has limited energy and is too busy to be busy. Okay, I got the idea. When I wrote back to my mother, I said that my mother would take care of it. The second aunt wants to fight my mother, hum, it may not be my mother's opponent. ”

Chen Wenhui asked again: "By the way, after talking for a long time, I haven't asked yet, who is Shui Han's intended person?" ”

Shuilian laughed and said, "County Lord, you have read the account book of this day, what do you think of this account?" ”

Chen Wenhui was a little strange, she asked Shui Han's sweetheart who was, why did Shui Lian talk about the account book? Chen Wenhui said: "I was about to say that this account is very good, it is clear at a glance, and the handwriting is neat, which shows that the people in this account room have worked hard." I see, it's even better than our Xiao Chen's Yuan's account room before. Turn back and reward this man. ”

Shui Lian smiled and said, "The county lord sent this account room, Shui Han will be very happy." ”

Chen Wenhui was a little strange, but after thinking about it, she suddenly understood. (To be continued......)
