Something like this, this time, happens every day. In Gui Yuxia's family, Yuxia's family wrote a letter to ask Da Niu's sisters to come over. Jin Xia's family wrote a letter asking her brothers and sisters and her mother-in-law's relatives to come over. There was no movement in Gui's house, but Gui Laohan was thinking about his sisters' homes, those nephews, and he asked Gui Da to write a letter to ask them to come over. Gui's wife's maiden family also wrote to ask relatives to come over. There is also Gui's second daughter-in-law's mother's house, as well as Yinxia's mother-in-law's family. They are all writing letters to ask their relatives living in Dachu to come over.

After Gui Yuxia persuaded Jin Xia, the next day, I heard that her mother's family was also writing to ask her relatives to come over, and her siblings' families were also writing to ask relatives to come over. Gui Yuxia felt that this matter was not a trivial matter, if these people in the city went to call their relatives to come to Qingchun City, they should let the city lord Chen Wenhui know as soon as possible.

Gui Yuxia hurriedly went to Chen Wenhui to explain the situation. Just when he said it, Wan Shuhui was also there with Chen Wenhui. After Chen Wenhui listened, she looked at Wan Shuhui and smiled: "Look, I just said, after all, Deputy Director Gui came out of the palace, and this political sensitivity is still very high, and he can see the whole thing through a little bit, and his vision is relatively long-term." It's not comparable to ordinary people, you see that I still have a good eye for people, right? ”

Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "I just thought that Deputy Director Gui's work was done well, and he could probably be a big Chu needle god." I didn't expect this brain to be so good. The city lord's vision is really extraordinary. ”

When the two of them said this, Gui Yuxia was a little embarrassed and said, "But I made a big fuss?" ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "No, we don't know about these situations. Not to mention that we don't understand, even Qiu Bi and a few of them can't understand. We don't have a lot of relatives like you here, so naturally we don't know about the affairs of these people's families. Thankfully, you sued us. We're still in time to set it up. You want to. If these letters have arrived in Dachu, not all of the relatives of those people are willing to leave their hometowns, but two or three out of ten families will be terrible, how many people must come here? How can there be 10,000 people? So many people migrated, although one after another, but. Because of its proximity to Gyeonggi. It is easy to attract the attention of the imperial court. You say, when the time comes, the court won't attack me? ”

Gui Yuxia thought about it. "I really haven't thought about it, I'm just thinking about it, I'm in charge of the craftsman and the engineering department, and I'm always building houses. If only it would have been easy for us to put the whole city in the house. I don't need to live in a tent, but. There are new people, and when the time comes, we are not prepared to hurry up and build houses? So, I thought about discussing it with the lord of the city. Prepare early, save the time when the time comes. But I didn't think about the affairs of the court officials. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In the past, when Xinguang City was built, those first immigrants. After living a good life, I want to bring my relatives to Xinguang City. And. It was very successful in bringing in a lot of people, and you see that so many people in Xinguang City are here like this. Of course, this process is not completed in a day, it is over a period of several years. At that time, it did not attract the attention of the imperial court. Because most of those people are the people of Jiangnan, to be precise, the people of Huzhou Province under my father's rule. The officials in that place used to be my father's subordinates, and now the Thorn History of Huzhou is still promoted by my father, so the Huang Thorn History has done this thing steadily, plus the Tiangao Emperor is far away, with the help of local officials, it has not caused turmoil at all, and the imperial court naturally does not know. However, our Qingchun City is different. Most of our people here are artisan families in the capital or near the capital, as well as the people from the three counties in the northwest of the capital. Digging people around the emperor, can this not be discovered? ”

Wan Shuhui nodded. She is a native of Huzhou herself, so she doesn't know about this. She said: "Actually, after these people have migrated to Xinguang City, the officials in Huzhou are still happy. You see, there were few people in the south of the Yangtze River. Many families do not have land to plant, or there is very little land, and they cannot support a large family. This is a loss of hundreds of thousands of people, and suddenly, Huzhou has become a situation with few people and few people, and the life of the people is naturally better. Also, these people who have made money in Xinguang City, many of them have returned to their hometowns, and they have spent a lot of money, which has brought great help to the economy of Huzhou, and Huzhou's tax revenue has been very good in recent years, which is also a new reason. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "However, these are all benefits that can only be seen later. Those stupid officials of the imperial court have such a long-term vision? Will they think about the lives and deaths of the people? Will they take care of the taxes of the imperial court? They just think about their interests. If there are fewer people in the Gyeonggi area, there will be fewer people who will farm for them, and those who have a little bit of land in their hands will sell their land, and their land will not be worth much. Their interests have suffered, can they be willing? Don't you join me in front of the emperor? ”

Now everyone understands.

"Most of the land in the Gyeonggi area now belongs to the powerful people. They rented the land to the people to cultivate, and the people worked hard for a year, sometimes not enough to pay the rent. If a large number of people come to Qingchun City, then there will be fewer people who will plant land for them, but their land will still be planted? In order to attract the people to farm, they can only collect less rent and let the people get benefits. But in this way, don't they lose? Can they be happy, can they not hate me? ”

Gui Yuxia was very worried and asked, "What can I do about this?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It doesn't matter, it hasn't happened yet. We have a way. I'm going to fix the book for my family now, so that my father and mother will know about it, and I'm sure they'll take care of it. Sometimes, preconceived. If we had reported the matter to the emperor earlier, then when they impeached me in the future, the emperor would not listen to them, but would have given them a good look. ”

Gui Yuxia also understands this truth, when it comes to these schemes, where can it be compared to the palace? She immediately laughed and said, "What the city lord said is very true. Who in the palace doesn't know that the queen is in charge now? The emperor's trust in the queen is incomparable, and the emperor's favorite concubine Shi is now a friend of the city lord. With the two of them speaking to the city lord, plus there are the head of the Chen family outside, as well as the city lord's father, Lord Chen, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so many people have gone to tell the emperor, will the emperor still believe the words of those pedantic ministers? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What you said is very true, fortunately, this matter was discovered early. We can prepare in time. If we do it properly, we may be able to lay the foundation for more people to migrate here in the future. Okay, I'm going to think about it. Deputy Director Gui, your situation is too timely. Yujin, go and bring me the red gold bracelet that I just brought from the goldsmithing workshop in the city, as well as a pound of tea newly obtained from Yizhou Island, and ten brocades of new colors in the Jiangnan in the warehouse, and reward them to Deputy Director Gui, by the way, and then reward Deputy Director Gui with one hundred taels of silver paper, and twelve pairs of gold and silver mules. ”

Yujin hurriedly went to prepare. Gui Yuxia panicked and said: "No, no, I am deeply favored by the city lord, and I haven't repaid it yet." Now it's just a few words in vain, and it doesn't help at all, where can I be a generous reward from the city lord? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You will take what is given to you." Don't you know who I am? The rewards and punishments are clear, so you can take it well. You go back first, and if there is such a thing in the future, you will have to tell me, you know? ”

Gui Yuxia looked at Wan Shuhui, and Wan Shuhui said: "Your matter is very timely, and it has won us time." You deserve these rewards. Just take it. ”

Gui Yuxia was helpless, so she had to thank you and accept it. He saluted his two superiors and retreated.

Chen Wenhui waited until Gui Yuxia left, and said to Wan Shuhui: "Actually, this is also a good thing, which shows that our city is built very well and the people live very well." By the way, you've been to a few more city lord rallies recently, what do you think? Is there a catch? ”

Wan Shuhui said: "Of course. However, it is recognized that in the past few months, the construction of the four cities, the quality of the people's lives, and the progress of the reclamation outside the city have all ranked first in our Qingchun City. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Of course, I call on everyone to build the city, if mine is not as good as theirs, how embarrassing, you still say that they are better than us, so that we can learn from the strengths of others." ”

Wan Shuhui said: "Although our cities have not been built, we have already seen the characteristics of each city. The city of Puning has a good foundation for urban development, so the trade there is very good, not only does it have its own production, but also the natives have settled there. The natives also traded with the merchants there. The outside of the city has also developed very well, and the land has been cultivated very well, not only to grow food. I also planted some things that I was interested in. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

Wan Shuhui said: "A lot of spices. ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly realized, how can this thing be forgotten, this is a specialty of the South Seas, but it is not a specialty of Luzon, but the many spices of the South Seas are indeed an important resource. The black family is smart and has already learned how to grow spices. Especially the spices for consumption. For example, peppercorns, fennel, cinnamon, perilla and so on.

It seems that this really needs to be learned, so what's the point of just cropping and fruit trees? It's better to plant more economic plants. Spices are an important economic plant. (To be continued)
