She just said what she thought was right, and she was not sensible before, but now she understands and persuaded her father to think for the people, at least let the people know that her father not only seeks glory and wealth, but also has done some things for the people.

Yu Shi was about to open his mouth to scold a few words, Jiang Shuncheng laughed, laughing so much that Su Yan didn't have half a point in her heart, she felt that she was not wrong.

"Daddy, as an important minister, to solve the worries of the king, it has always been the king who is not worried and the ministers are worried first, otherwise the emperor would not be so important to his father. There is a disaster in Yudi, and in a few days, I am afraid that there will be more refugees in the imperial city. ”

Jiang Shuncheng was very happy, suppressed his smile, and said, "My Yan'er is really kind-hearted. Ha Luha, well, listen to you for the Father's sake. He shouted to the left and right: "Chuan Benxiang ordered, from now on, the morning food in Fuzhong will be halved, the lunch will be changed to six dishes and one soup, and the evening food will be changed to four dishes and one soup." ”

Yu came back to his senses and blurted out: "Nonsense! He glared at Su Yan and said, "Xiangye is really, how can he take a child's words seriously." There are also six dishes and one soup, how to eat such a small number of dishes. Not to mention the side, even those grandchildren can't eat enough, hum! ”

Su Yan is only nine years old, and it is the time to grow her body, so she should eat well, and the grandchildren of the Jiang family must also eat well.

Jiang Shuncheng said: "Come on, follow the order!" Late-night pastries are also halved every night. ”

The housekeeper and the mother left in response and sent people to spread the word everywhere.

Jiang Shuncheng thoughtfully, squinted his eyes slightly, and said: "In the past few days, the court has been talking about the locust plague after the drought in Yudi. According to the practice of the emperor since he ascended the throne, I am afraid that it will not take a month, and the emperor's meal will also be changed to eight dishes and one soup. As soon as the emperor changes, the imperial concubine and the concubines will also be reduced to six dishes and one soup. ”

The Prime Minister's Mansion is the residence of the courtiers in the end, and it is not good to go over the emperor.

Jiang Shuncheng said again: "Prepare for it, I am going to open a porridge shed in the near future." ”

In the Yu family's impression, the Jiang family had never done such a thing. Since Jiang Shuncheng became an official in high school, there is no shortage of money in the family, especially after he became the prime minister, there are many people who curry favor with him. To be a "backer", there are countless shops waiting for dividends, from famous businessmen to unknown shops, all of which are business partners in the "name" of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. In fact, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion didn't pay a penny, so that everyone could have a lot of silver if they secretly put up a name.

There are also examples of filial piety from officials and students from all over the country. Every New Year's Festival, filial piety from all over the country continues to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, piled up so that the Treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion is about to be unable to put things, and the Right Minister's Mansion has secretly expanded the treasury for three consecutive years. Nowadays, there are two courtyards used as warehouses alone, one containing valuable utensils and bottles, all of which are ornaments and pendants; One place is filled with food and clothing, silk, ginseng, bird's nest, etc.

Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks, full of doubts: "Do you really want to reduce the dishes and open a porridge shed?" ”

The Jiang family will not do murder and arson, but they will also do some things to accept money, but they have never done such a thing as opening a porridge shed. Spending a lot of money out of the river, or for strangers they don't know, the Yu family is incredible, and the culprit of all this is the pearl of their palms.

At this moment, Su Yeon, who had caused trouble, was eating her meal with relish, looking innocent and unaware.

Yu Shi glared at him and scolded: "Stinky girl, what bad idea did you give your father?" Six dishes and one soup, how to eat this. ”

When Jiang Shuncheng heard this, his face was solemn: "I think back then, I studied hard in the cold window, you had to wait for my mother, and take care of my three sons, after separating from the second brother, the family was only about 30 acres of fertile land, a small house, and there were only four dishes and one soup during the New Year's Festival, and there was only a bowl of rice and a plate of pickles on weekdays. When you go to the market, you go to the street to cut a pound of pork, make meatballs from the thin stomping mud for my mother, and make a small half bowl of braised pork for me to eat if you are fat. You are reluctant to taste the rest of the oil soup, which is also divided into three portions and poured into the rice of your three sons as a delicacy, and said that it is bibimbap. ”

Su Yan knew that her ancestors were poor, but her grandmother was young and widowed, and only guarded Jiang Shuncheng's son. Unexpectedly, her parents also had such a hard life, but compared with the poor family, they could also have a rich life with enough food and warm clothes.

She had never met her grandmother, and she had heard that she had already returned to the West before she was born. She was waited for by the Yu family, and before she died, the Jiang family had not yet made a career.

What Jiang Shuncheng said was so far away for the Yu family that it seemed like something that happened in his previous life. At that time, it was really bitter, and the Yu family never shouted bitterness at that time, and silently accompanied Jiang Shuncheng through the most difficult days.

Yu honored her mother-in-law and her husband, Jiang Shuncheng was studying hard at that time, and the children were young, so neither her mother-in-law nor her husband could afford to eat badly. She only clings to herself and her three children, and only hopes that her husband will one day raise his eyebrows and live a good life.

I haven't talked about the past for many years, but now I suddenly mentioned it, and Yu's suddenly felt like a dream.

After the silence, Yu almost murmured: "We are also people who live a hard life. How can you forget those suffering people, Xiangye, the concubine will discuss with the eldest daughter-in-law tomorrow to build a porridge shed as soon as possible. ”

The Yu family's mother's family was originally a famous family in Jinyang, and the old lady Yu fell in love with Jiang Shuncheng's talent back then, and wanted to marry the eldest daughter to the Jiang family. But the second aunt inquired and learned that Jiang Shuncheng's family was poor, although he had dozens of acres of land left by his ancestors, he should be located in Xiling Township, outside Jinyang City, which was also a poor land. Occasionally, I rely on my widowed mother to do embroidery work, laundry and patchwork to supplement the family, and I am not happy to live or die. Old lady Yu has spoken out in front of several Jinyang officials and famous families, and she can't change it. Just when he was in a dilemma, his second daughter, Miss Yu San, voluntarily married Jiang Shuncheng as his wife.

When the Yu family got married, the old lady Yu married sixty acres of fertile land, as well as two shops in Jinyang City. This is really too thin in the famous gate of the imperial city, but at that time, it was also rich in Jinyang's hometown. The Yu family married into the Jiang family, taught his husband and children, had no intention of taking care of the business in the store, and after reselling the two shops, he rebuilt a beautiful mansion, and only kept the fertile land and the thin land left by the ancestors of the Jiang family for a living.

Originally, it should have been a good life, but Jiang Shunxin, a younger brother-in-law of the Jiang family, reached the age of marriage and wanted to start a family, and he married the Li family, who was born in a small family, as a dowry. In less than two years, the Li family actually thought that the Yu family had three sons, and said the words "half the eldest son eats Lao Tzu to death", and refused to live with them anymore, arguing to separate the family.

In order to seek peace with his family, the Yu family had to respond. When it was time to divide the family, the Li family made a big fuss and wanted to divide the sixty acres of fertile land that the Yu family married. The Yu family refused to respond to the Li family, and since there was no reason for the dowry of the eldest sister-in-law when the family was separated, the Li family looked for a reason to make noise all day long, and the good old lady Jiang was seriously ill. He was bedridden and has not stopped taking medicine since then.

The Yu family had to give all the dozens of acres of thin fields left by the Jiang family's ancestors to the Li family, and gave Jiang Shunxin a new courtyard that had been worked hard to build, and the matter of separating the family was put on hold.

In retrospect, those years were really hard. Mrs. Jiang is also a governor, and when she was seriously ill, she took Yu's hand and praised her for "enjoying great happiness if she suffers a big loss". At that time, Jiang Shuncheng was far away in the imperial city to take the exam, and Mrs. Jiang was afraid that Jiang Shuncheng would abandon the Yu family in his future, so she specially asked the elders of the Jiang family to leave a message: "Tell me to Yongzhai, the wife of the chaff should not be abandoned, and the Yu family is righteous, and the Yu family must be treated well." ”

As soon as Mrs. Jiang passed away, in order to do the funeral, the Yu family spent a lot of savings, and within a few years of marrying into the Jiang family, she tossed up the surplus money from selling the dowry shop.

Although the Yu family is occasionally a little sloppy and tricky, she is virtuous by nature, she used her jewelry dowry to give Jiang Shuncheng a good future, and Jiang Shuncheng only then had the money to go to the imperial city to take the exam.

While talking, the housekeeper who went to each room to spread the word had already returned and asked, "The masters in the house are arranging meals according to the example of the prime minister, what about the people?" ”

In the past, the masters had a lot of dishes, and if they couldn't finish eating, they would reward them to their subordinates to eat, and the remaining dishes would be enough for people everywhere to eat. Now it has been reduced to six dishes and one soup, and the masters can't eat enough, so how can the people eat it.

Yu Shi made up his mind, everything listened to her husband, and said: "The people will make fresh food in the future, three dishes and one soup at noon, two dishes and one soup at night, two meat and one vegetable at noon, one meat and one vegetable at night, the dishes are less, and the amount of dishes is increased." You will not go hungry. ”
