Jia Jiu didn't expect this effect to be so good, Jia Yu was even more dumbfounded, and when he heard that the saltpeter in this copper basin could be used repeatedly after drying, he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth: "The old lady likes to eat seafood, I have long thought about how to be filial, but first, the capital is too big, and secondly, there is the Xue family behind the second family, so I have to dispel my mind." But with your method, all I have here is to get a Zhuangzi by the sea and a boat, and it doesn't cost anything at all. And this thing is also novel, even if it is used as a gift, it is also decent. Good boy, you have done my father a great favor. ”

"In that case, can a daughter ask her father for something?"

"What's the matter? You say come and hear it. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Last time, when the two cousins-in-law first came to our house, the daughter once told her father that it would be good if she could help those homeless people, and now, the daughter also has an idea, I don't know if my father has time to listen to it." ”

Jia Yu frowned and said, "Girl, why do you have to help those mud legs?" We already have a lot of money and food in our house every year for relief. ”

Jia Jiu got up, walked up to his father, bowed, and said, "Father, my daughter has also thought carefully, why the old lady had such a big difference between her mother and the second wife before, of course, this is because the second wife is more interested in the old lady's mind, but it is not because of a good family background. And the reason why the Wang family is so powerful that the mother who is the first has to avoid the edge of the second wife, the key is the word connection. ”

"You go on."

The daughter also once asked the old people in the family, and I heard that the maiden family of the first wife also encountered some twists and turns, but there were so many in-laws and friends, and no one stood up to speak for the Zhang family, and the old lady of the Zhang family was finally degraded. The daughter didn't know the details outside, but such news was enough to make the ladies of the inner house shy away from the Zhang family's daughter. On the other hand, the Wang family was still able to move one or two at that time, which shows that the fellow students of the scholar were not as useful as the kindness of the reckless man in the same year. ”

"So you want to use the word grace and righteousness to accumulate contacts and pave the way for your brother?"

"It's not just my brother, it's for the family. If we show favor to them now, if they fall into the well for us in the future, in the eyes of others, they will be ungrateful, not only will they have no future, but they will also be poked in the back. Come to think of it, as long as there is a shameful person, they will not do this. ”

Jia Yu was silent for a long time before he said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Father, my daughter thinks like this, in the name of building Zhuangzi and needing manpower, to recruit displaced people. Of course, in the beginning, this necessary isolation and physical examination is essential. Then let these displaced people do such work as digging rocks and building water conservancy on the Zhuangzi, so that they can have enough to eat and have a little pocket money in their hands, and that's it. When the Zhuangzi was almost finished, a school was built to allow the children of the displaced people and the farmers to go to school and study together. In this way, even if the Zhuangzi deliberately fooled us, those homeless people will not take less and eat less than the villagers, and they will be dissatisfied when they see the villagers acting so boldly. Unless the dealers take out the part of their greedy ink and share it with those homeless people, they can only be honest. As for those homeless people, we don't let them become lowly people, but only let them stay in the Zhuangzi in the name of tenants to work for us. When the school is built, they can't read and write themselves, but they can also let their children go to school. If their children have the opportunity to enter officialdom in the future, it may not be the help of our family. ”

Jia Yu nodded: "This is not a solution, but this method is really slow to work, if not every step is beneficial, I am afraid that my father will be the first to shake his head." It's just that this method costs a lot of money, and it is suspected of being a city favor, which is really embarrassing. ”

Jia Jiu thought that Jia Yu was talking about grace, but he was really strange in his heart, so he brought some out of his face.

Jia Lian saw that his sister didn't understand, so he hurriedly explained to his sister what Shien was.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi was a fief canonized to Jiang Shang by the Zhou Dynasty to reward Jiang Shang for his great contributions in the destruction of the Shang Dynasty. And this Tian family, at the beginning, was just a very ordinary businessman. It's just that the Tian family is really good at doing business, and they keep trying to make the Qi Hou spend money at that time, and if the other party has no money, they will lend money to the other party, raising the other party more and more extravagantly to the point of high debts; On the other hand, the people of Shien and Qi allowed them to borrow rice with big buckets and repay them with small buckets, using such means to buy people's hearts. In the end, he suddenly changed his face, forced debts from the Jiang family, and sent envoys to talk to the Zhou royal family and princes, and finally took the Qi country into his pocket and became the royal family of the Qi country.

This is the story of I-eun.

Jia Lian said: "After that, there was another strange thing that Lu Buwei could live in, and since then, all dynasties and generations have been very taboo about miscellaneous families and merchants, and the imperial court has dealt a blow to miscellaneous families in every way, even if the other party is a great sage, and the other party is not allowed to enter the office, and even when necessary, it will directly send people to kill them; The reason for imposing heavy taxes on merchants to prevent them from becoming big, and even turning a blind eye to the exploitation of merchants by the powerful is because they are afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past. ”

Jia Jiu immediately got up, gave his father a big salute, lay on the ground and said: "Father, those homeless people can't live in their hometown, so they will find a way to come to Beijing to beg for a living, otherwise who is willing to leave their hometown?" It's a pity that they don't have so many outlets, and they can only beg for a living except to sell themselves into slavery. Since you are a beggar, you will inevitably be hungry and full, and it would be nice to have an eaves on your head. There is a way that illness comes from the mouth, and trouble comes out of the mouth, and if you don't eat cleanly, you will naturally get sick. If two people have exactly the same disease, at most it will make passers-by look sideways; If twenty or thirty people get exactly the same disease, even the government and the Huimin Department will be alarmed; If one or two hundred people get exactly the same disease, Jingshi will definitely be panicked, thinking that the plague is coming, and Jing Zhaoyin will also be taken from his post; But if one or two thousand people are born with the same illness, not to mention the people, even the imperial court will have to consider whether to move the capital. At that time, who would have believed that these people actually just had a bad stomach in the first place? In that case, the panicked exiles will definitely think that the imperial court is going to attack them, and in that case, it is difficult to say that they will not attack the western city where the magnates live, and it is difficult to say that our family will not suffer. The daughter thinks that although the matter is not big, the cost may be a little more than the budget, but as long as it can buy peace, it is cost-effective to spend a little more money. This is a little shallow opinion of the daughter, and I ask the father to ......"

Jia Yu squatted down, helped his daughter up, and said, "Good boy, you are a kind-hearted person, and your father understands." It's just that this matter is very important, and the father needs to think about it carefully. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Father, in fact, we don't need to operate all the Zhuangzi in the family like this, just find a Zhuangzi that is a little closer to Jingshi, and then find a suitable reason, such as praying for my mother and hoping that my mother can wake up as soon as possible." ”

Jia Yu said: "This is also a method. It's just that in this way, neither me nor your brother can meddle in this matter. And you're young. In this way, after two years, when you are older, the things at home are straightened out, and you have learned about the housekeeping business, I will give you a Zhuangzi to practice. When the time comes, you can do things as you want. Now, I really don't have time to be a father, and your brother has to prepare for the exam, so I really can't spare manpower. ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he didn't feel gloomy in his heart, so he had to get up.

He knew that his father had politely rejected his request.

After thinking about it, Jia Jiu still said: "Father, can the daughter pick a place in the back garden to learn first?" Since you have to take care of Zhuangzi, you should also know when the crops are sown. ”

Jia Yu said: "It's not a big problem. When Rongxi Hall is cleaned up, your mother and I will move in. The yard where I live now, I originally wanted to leave it to you. Since you like to tinker with these, just pick a random spot in this yard. If you think the place is small, by the way, the sandbar is yours. I remember that this area was originally used to grow rice, and when my grandfather was alive, he used to go to the fields. That area will be cleaned up a little. Plus, I'll open another door to get you in and out of the back garden. ”
