When Xing Xiuyan came to Jia Jiu's courtyard and studied with the grandmothers, the matter of Tanchun was also sent to Jia Jiu.

Princess Changle said: "Tut-tut, your cousin is also beating your idea." ”

The Jia family is like a sieve, as long as they have the heart, even if they speak to the wall, they can also transmit what they want to say to the ears of their targets. In Princess Changle's opinion, the act of exploring spring is very effective. But in this way, the faces of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and the faces of Jia Yuanchun, the virtuous concubine, are really not left at all.

Jia Jiu smiled slightly, put the note in his hand on the candle flame and burned it, and said, "Such a simple matter, Her Royal Highness the princess still doesn't understand?" The third sister just hopes that one day in the future, I can help him. As for now, he won't count on me to make a move. If nothing else, let's just talk about this Zhuangzi, that is, I am really ready for him now, does he have the ability to keep it, or can he get this income? I don't even have a household registration, and after all, it's just cheaper for others. ”

Tanchun is complaining about grievances and grievances, but in Jia Jiu's opinion, it is still too early.

As long as Tanchun has not left Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, as long as his marriage is not settled, it is impossible for him to really have his own fixed assets.

Princess Changle just said this, he sat down next to Jia Jiu, and said, "What are you going to do about the flood in the south?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Naturally, it is the old road, buying land, buying Zhuangzi, and then working for relief. But the Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't plan to follow the example of the north. ”

"Huh? Cause? ”

"The imperial court's attitude towards the border passes is very problematic, and it can be said that the Di people committed crimes in the south. It is not so much that the Di people are strong, but that the attitude of the imperial court towards the border passes has caused the current situation of insufficient soldiers and armaments at the border passes, which is not conducive to combat. If no one reminds you from time to time, I am afraid that the court will repeat the mistakes of the past. Tie the interests of the people in the palace to those at the border. Even if they are not in the north, they will always keep an eye on the movement in the north. Because those Zhuangzi in the north are directly related to their pension problems, even if Banzai is afraid in his heart, those palace people will not see their interests damaged. ”

In Jia Jiu's opinion, no matter which line of work, even if it is a palace maid and eunuch, it can stand out from tens of thousands of people. That in itself shows that these people are better than the tens of thousands of people who remain.

If they couldn't even understand this, how would they be where they are today? If two generations of kings are surrounded by the kind of people who don't make it. Great Qi has long perished.

Princess Changle said: "And then? You only said the north. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "I intend to follow the example of the Zhuangzi in the north and add the Zhuangzi in the south. However, in the Zhuangzi in the south, I don't plan to let the palace people take a part of it. ”

Princess Changle said, "Huh? You don't want the palace to ......."

Jia Jiu replied, "Yes." The land annexation in Jiangnan is strict enough. Don't look at the people below so miserable. In fact, it was only the ordinary people who really suffered, and there were some rich peasants, small landlords, and so on. As for the real big landlords and even the family, they are afraid that they have not even moved a single hair, and they may not be taking the opportunity to buy the fields at a low price. ”

Princess Changle's heart was shocked.

As a princess, Changle is very aware of things in this land, especially land annexation. It is also a problem that cannot be avoided by any dynasty in China since ancient times.

It has nothing to do with the integrity of the officials, nothing to do with the will of the king. Because everyone in this land is filled with a thirst for land in their bones. To marry a daughter, you must prepare to marry a Zhuangzi, and to give birth to a son, you must prepare a family business, and all you need is land. As far as the eye can see, there is only a growing population and a small amount of land that will always be there.

If you don't have the vision and strength to ask for land from outsiders, you can only do it to your own people.

This is no exception to the Tang Dynasty, which has been praised by others.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty is of course because of the emergence of one or two wise kings, and more importantly, before that, the long-term war in the land of China has caused the population to drop below a value, and the dynasty itself is constantly fighting - starting from Xuanwumen, the Tang royal family has not been less than cannibalistic with their own subordinates, and at the same time, the struggle between the royal family and the family is also for land - so that the dynasty took a considerable time to develop the population, thus delaying the outbreak of the land crisis.

Princess Changle did not approve of doing anything to those families, because of the lessons left by Sheng Tang. Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian swept the five surnames and seven wangs into the old paper pile, but soon after, the Tang Dynasty also quickly weakened, and even several emperors became puppets in the hands of eunuchs.

Therefore, in the eyes of Princess Changle, it is a very unlucky thing to do something to those families. Because the royal family is also a family, if the family should not exist in this world, then the royal family should first disappear in this world. Because, the royal family is the first in the family.

Princess Changle whispered: "The family has fallen, and it is still the family that has benefited. ”

Jia Jiu's eyes widened slightly, then put away the expression on his face, and said: "Because the family has a way, they always have their own way, and they get the exact news one step ahead of the people and the officials below." While the people were still watching, they had already pounced on them and swallowed everything they could eat. And the people, it is already thankful to be able to drink a little bit of soup. ”

Princess Changle said: "Not really. Even if we do it now, it's just a bit of meat. Serious good things have long been carved up by others. ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "That's what I'm going to say." If a Zhuangzi is added to the south to grow grain, I am afraid that the harvest will be limited and the maximum value will not be exerted. So ......"

Princess Changle said, "Are you going to ......?"

"Yes."

Princess Changle said: "It's really unexpected. I thought that the high cost of salt and fertilizer would become an iron threshold, but as a result, a flood in the south of the Yangtze River made you easily cross the past. ”

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "Changle, how can you say that the flood has fulfilled me?" What about drought and locust plagues? In fact, for me, the essence of these disasters is almost the same. As long as the corresponding means can be slightly adjusted. It's still able to get me there. ”

Princess Changle said: "It turns out that in the days before, you were trying to scare me?" Let this palace worry about you in vain. ”

"I'm not trying to be tricky, I'm not scary." Jia Jiu said. "It's just that I found that I had missed one important factor in my plan, and the whole plan was logically wrong. That's why I ...... during those days."

Princess Changle pressed Jia Jiu's shoulder and said, "So now, are you sure?" ”

Jia Jiu nodded and said, "Changle." No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will keep going. ”

Princess Changle buried her face in Jia Jiu's shoulder and said sullenly, "Then." Remember, no matter how difficult your path may be, I am with you. ”

"Hmm."

Neither of them spoke, but snuggled up to each other. Nothing was said.

The female officials and chamberlains brought by Princess Changle were already familiar with the way these two got along when they were in the palace. Jia Jiu's grandmothers are also very strong in their hearts, and after the messy beginning, they are also used to the intimacy between the two from time to time.

As for Jia Jiu's girls, whether they can accept it or not, in short, the door of the new world is open to them.

After a long while, I heard Princess Changle say, "Nine girls." Since you said it, you don't want the palace to interfere in the affairs of the south. Then you and I should do this first, or should I talk to my grandfather and father first. ”

Jia Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't buy land for myself by myself, but you are not subject to this restriction, and in addition, we have to rely on the power of the Lin family." ”

Princess Changle said: "Lin family, are you still thinking about your cousin?" ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Although the eldest brother of the Lin family is only ten years old this year, the household post has not been replaced yet,......

Princess Changle interrupted him abruptly: "There are no men in their family who are above this age, unless they use the excuse of buying a dowry for your cousin." If you want me to say, it's better to talk to your father Rong Guohou and let him take care of it for you as soon as possible, which is better than going around from the Lin family. ”

Princess Changle just didn't like Jia Jiu to mention Lin Daiyu, but for Jia Jiu, it was not a good idea.

"Exactly. I thought before that it would not be a good thing to tell the world about salt and fertilizer, so I hid it. Now that they have decided to let the number of people in the world come to have a drink, where can they not let their family get a sweetness. Changle, if you don't say it, I'm negligent. ”

Princess Changle looked at Jia Jiu for a while, and when she saw that Jia Jiu didn't look angry, she also smiled: "It's good that you know." ”

Princess Changle and Jia Jiu didn't feel anything about Xue Baochai and what Xue Baochai brought, which didn't mean that others didn't feel it.

Xue Baochai also knew that if she went back like this, Mrs. Wang would definitely not let go lightly. But Princess Changle refused to let him in, let alone accept the gift.

These things, if they are sent to Jia Jiu's yard, can also make him feel at ease, but in his hands, they are hot potatoes.

When he was persuaded by Tanchun, Xue Baochai said in his heart that he didn't want to leave.

But he also knew that even if he continued to stand, Princess Changle might not be willing to see him. Rather than breaking in and being thrown out, it is not a way to step down with Tanchun now.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Xue Baochai still followed Tanchun to the Jinlou.

"Third sister, it's a really good scenery here. It's a pity that the first few times I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take a good look. ”

Tanchun also smiled: "Not really." Sister Yun's ten-zhang soft red is named because of the begonias planted all over the place, as for this brocade building, because there are a lot of apricot blossoms planted around, there is another name, called the apricot blossom sky shadow. ”

Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, and then said faintly: "It's really a good name." ”

"Not really. Countless apricot blossoms flying with the spring breeze should be a very beautiful scene, right? It's a pity that I've only seen it once or twice when I've grown so big. If it comes to the spring of the next year, I can't say that I will also have this blessing, do a winter, call my sisters to come over, and have a good time. ”

Xue Baochai's heart moved, and said: "The coming year is indeed a good time. The year after next is another general election, and the next year will be the last year for the second sister at home. ”

Tanchun also smiled: "It's a pity." Two years earlier, I said that now these sisters in the family have learned more poetry, and it would be nice if they could run a poetry club. It's a pity that the second sister shook her head when she heard this, saying that she had to be busy with the sacrifice and complete her homework, so she didn't have time at all. The second sister shook her head, and the two people in the Huansha Pavilion also shook their heads. In the end, the matter of this poetry club was also over. ”

When Xue Baochai heard this, his heart was also moved, and he said: "Now it is not as good as in the past." If nothing else, let's just say that our family Qin'er, although young, loves these poems the most. If the third sister runs a poetry club, he will be ready to join the scene. Sister Yun is also a person who likes to be lively, and when he heard this, he couldn't say that he was the first to make a fuss about being a poet. and Sister Xing, I see his humble and indifferent appearance, but it doesn't look like he can't, but because he is a guest, he is modest. It's just that the two of us are afraid that it will not be easy to call the shots. The second sister has Her Royal Highness the princess there...... It's better for us to go to the eldest sister-in-law first and ask the eldest sister-in-law to show her. If the eldest sister-in-law also says yes, then it will be the same if we invite the second sister again. ”

Tanchun saw Xue Baochai mention Princess Changle again, and knew that Xue Baochai had not given up.

But Tanchun also needs a name, so that he can catch up with Princess Changle and raise his value. After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Tanchun did not object, but followed Xue Baochai to find Li Kun.

The wife of the Li family and her two daughters crowded together in Li Kun's yard, although Li Kun's yard is quite large, and it can completely accommodate her aunt and cousin, but the monthly money of the two cousins is still received from this house, and I heard that it is still from the cousin, which makes Li Kun very uncomfortable.

As a widow, Li Kun knows better than anyone that benefits and fame are more important to him now. But when the people of the Xue family take care of their own expenses, and the children of the Lin family are behind the huge family business of the Lin family, but this widow and two cousins, although they have something at hand, they can't even compare to him, the second daughter-in-law who has long become a marginal person.

Therefore, when facing Xue Baochai, Li Kun always lost a little confidence.

Especially now, Jia Yuanchun's provincial villa is run by Xue Baochai, an unmarried girl.

Hearing that Xue Baochai and Tanchun wanted to set up a poetry club, Li Kun of course agreed: "That's not what I said." Although my two cousins came from small families, they also know some poetry. These days, I see them stuffy in the house every day, and it's weird. It's better to start with me in this first society. ”

Tanchun hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I was the first to say this, so naturally it should be my first invitation." However, this kind of thing should be told to the old lady. ”

Li Kun said very well, and the two sisters-in-law immediately came to see Jia's mother. (To be continued......)
