Looking at the sleeping Su Yan, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.

I really don't know what to say about her, and she can fall asleep on his chest.

She fell asleep, and he was pressed like a stone on his chest, and he could not sleep.

Early the next morning, Yu Wenyan entered the palace, and when the court meeting was dispersed, he called Cheng Dayong and Yang Bingzhong, and whispered about his purchase of land. A few days ago, there happened to be a few big farmers who sold their fields, so he had some fields in hand and was willing to give them to everyone at the purchase price.

Everyone was worried that they couldn't buy it, and everyone was happy to hear him say it, so Yu Wenyan wrote a note to one of them and asked them to send someone to Weizhou to find the chief housekeeper of the palace.

Lu Kang got the letter and also came to buy the land, and Yu Wenyan also wrote a note.

Although people are in the palace, the soldiers who met earlier in the northwest also heard the wind and asked, Yuwenyan or 1,000 acres, or 500 acres have written notes.

The new emperor sat in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and saw that Yu Wenyan was busy, and there were always guards coming to him and whispering something.

"Yu Wenyan!" The new emperor has already seen him leave five or six times and come back, "What are you doing?" Look at you, you're busier than me. ”

Yu Wenyan smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Back to the emperor, the soldiers who came back from the northwest have a good time, a few days ago, Weichen happened to buy 20,000 acres of thin land from a few big households, thinking that everyone would earn money, and they would give them some, no, now 20,000 acres are given to others." ”

The canals in Weizhou have not been repaired, the silver of the imperial court has not been allocated, and the price of land over there has risen in a few days, from three hundred yuan to four or five dollars of silver per acre, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have sent people to Weizhou to buy land.

"How much is an acre?"

Yu Wenyan said: "When I bought it, it was three taels of silver, and I sold it to them at this price." They are all soldiers who came back from the northwest, and they are not familiar with Weizhou, so it is not easy. ”

The new emperor snorted coldly, "You don't have more than these 20,000 acres on hand, right?" ”

"Don't hide it from the emperor, Weichen still has more than 50,000 mu in his hands, which he bought earlier."

actually took Weizhou's land as a business.

The new emperor has a feeling of being deceived, Jiang Suyan is really powerful, and the canal has not been repaired. The money was earned first, thinking that the river canal would be connected, and the court would have more silver, the new emperor felt a little more relaxed.

"Weichen doesn't want to sell these 50,000 mu yet, and wants to wait for the silver to be used to repair the canal and then sell it one by one, so that if the silver is available, the canal can also be repaired."

"Isn't there still an untouched Guantian?"

Yu Wenyan said: "I also told Mr. about this, and Mr. said that if a county is gone, the official field will be gone." All of them became private land. The people had no land to plant. There will inevitably be complaints. Whether the local government can be well governed does not depend on the official reputation, but whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment. As long as you can scrape together enough money to build canals and roads, Guantian can buy less and buy less. After all, too many people live by renting official land. And the annual tax grain and silver of the imperial court after the autumn also mostly rely on the income of the official fields......"

Looking at Yu Wenyan who was in a hurry, the new emperor suddenly felt that he was really mature, as if he had changed since he became a child, no longer muddy all day long, but like a man.

The new emperor asked, "What does Anthy say about this?" ”

"She ......," Yu Wenyan smiled, "She has a good brain, and she has a lot of ideas, saying that the canal will be repaired." Those who have money contribute money, and those who have power to contribute. When you went back yesterday, what did you say to me...... In short, there are really many ways. It is said that the Ministry of Engineering will first select the route and design drawings for repairing the canal, and can contract it to the local villagers according to a section every ten miles, and tell them directly. Repair the ten miles of canals, ten miles of road, I give you how much silver, pay three percent first, repair to half and then pay four percent, after the repair, through the special person to accept and evaluate the superior, and then pay the remaining three percent, if not rated as superior, rework and reinforce, until satisfied before you can receive the back three percent.

The people who can contribute can go to the foreman to work, stipulate that they can take care of food and housing, pay 15 yuan a day, and each person has a bowl of porridge and three large steamed buns in the morning, plus a pickle; At noon, it must be a meat and a vegetarian soup before cooking, and rice and steamed buns must be prepared; Even there are rules for eating at night, and it is also rice steamed buns with meat dishes, and the meat must be visible in the meat......"

So-yeon!

The new emperor called this name in his heart, and every time he wanted to forget it, he was mentioned again.

She is not only a woman, but also the brain trust of the father and son of the king of the left shoulder.

She always had so many surprising ideas.

And the new emperor didn't know what to say, this method was heard by Su Yan from Zheng Han, and Zheng Han also told Su Yan a lot about the construction of the river canal when they met on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

Su Yan listened to it and thought the suggestion was very good, so she told Yu Wenyan on the way home from the palace.

She said that large households in various counties can donate silver, and one mu of land can receive 200 to 500 yuan of donated silver, depending on the quality of the land, which is called having money to pay. People who don't have money can contribute. When I went to work on the construction site, I managed to eat and live, and I kept a record of the number of days, and one day was counted according to fifteen lines, and a certain amount of money could be used to donate silver to one acre, ......and so on."

Yu Wenyan continued to talk about Su Yan's various thoughts, "She said, it's easy to say, if you want to manage it well, you have to worry a lot, so I asked my father-in-law to help find a capable craftsman to go over, and she redrafted the charter by herself and sent it to Weizhou, and asked her father to invite the famous squires and celebrities of the seven counties to discuss the most important regulations, and also said that she would elect representatives of the people to sit and listen together." The squires and the rich will always choose the side that is most beneficial to them, often ignoring what the people think, and building roads and canals is supposed to benefit the people, and if it causes the people to complain, it will be counterproductive. ”

The new emperor has a bits and pieces of his first acquaintance with Su Yan in his mind.

She is special, she can go into battle and set up formations to kill the enemy.

Wen can also help Yu Wenyan take care of the fiefdom and make suggestions.

Even when the new emperor heard it, he also felt that it was reasonable and irrefutable everywhere.

As in the past, he kept his promise, and it was Jiang Suyan who was by his side.

She said that she would accompany him to protect the world, he would protect the people of the world, and she would silently guard his peace.

There has never been a woman who has ever told him like this, this dignified and this kind of intention, so far I think about it, I can still touch his heart, such warmth is as good as in the past, and this is unforgettable for him.

Looking at the new emperor with a pensive face, Yu Wenyan regretted talking too much.

Outside the gate of the temple, a guard approached, looking anxious.

Yu Wenyan hugged his fists and said: "Weichen retires!" ”

Exiting the main hall, the guards walked over, "Zuo Yi Zhonglang will ask to see you." ”

It was a member of the Jinwuwei Li, General Zhonglang, who was mainly in charge of the security of the shops on the Sixth Street of the Imperial City, and when he saw Yuwen Yanxian, he smiled stupidly, "I heard that the general bought some land in Weizhou and was about to sell it to each family." ”

"Damn" Yu Wenyan scolded, "On weekdays, your kid runs faster than a rabbit, 20,000 acres are cleaned, and you didn't even have half an acre left. ”

The visitor stomped his foot, "It's gone!" It's all for you! ”

"It was entrusted by Zhen Guogong, Rong Guogong and others to help buy it over there, and it happened that there were a few big families who wanted to sell, so they bought it for three taels and eight dollars of silver, thinking that they had a lot at hand, thinking that the brothers who came back from the northwest were living a miserable life one by one, and they also helped buy some, and then transferred them to each family according to the purchase price."

Zhonglang said: "My subordinates heard that the land has risen to five taels of silver per acre. At the end, he laughed, "The general's fiefdom is in Weizhou, you help your subordinates, and you can get a thousand acres over there." We didn't want to make money, we just wanted to buy land over there to grow food and live a better life, and our subordinate mother-in-law gave birth to four sons. As soon as I heard about it this morning, I found a relative, and finally managed to scrape together four thousand taels of silver...... It's all gone without thinking about it. ”

Yu Wenyan scratched his scalp and looked at Zhonglang General with a bitter face, "I bought 20,000 mu before, and I bought it after looking for a long time." I'm afraid it's not easy, so I'll write to my housekeeper and ask him to help, if you buy it, I'll tell you, I'll help you buy it at the price of the house, you can either send someone to see it, or buy it yourself. ”

General Zhonglang said a lot of good things, Yu Wenyan saw that it was not easy for him, so he responded first, "I'll try it, it's good to be able to buy it, if you can't buy it, don't blame me." The best way is for your family to go to Weizhou, and maybe you can meet someone who sells land. ”

On this day, a few more people came to Yu Wenyan, talking about helping to buy land.

Yu Wenyan replied with the same reason.

When it comes to buying land, Jiang Chuanye has been in Weizhou, the Jiang family is prosperous, Jiang Chuanye asked for leave and went to Weizhou to help, a few people, wandering between the counties, as soon as he heard that someone was selling land, he went over to see, and if it was about the same, he bought it.

On this day, Jiang Chuanchuan suddenly saw a notice on the gate of the county seat, asking the people to sue the Ye family, and his heart chuckled. felt that this was strange, and rushed back to Weizhou City overnight to understand the situation.

After inquiring, I learned that the old princess Ye had done something wrong, and now that she has fallen out of favor, the old princess is going to attack the Ye family, and all kinds of rumors are flying around in the city, some say that the old princess has abandoned the old princess from the beginning, some say that the old princess Ye is immoral, and some say that the Ye family has evil retribution...... You can hear anything.

However, the most reliable news that Jiang Chuan heard was that the Ye family was privately dealing with the affairs of the grange and the store.

The entire Weizhou didn't dare to buy the Ye family's things, who was he Jiang conveying?

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, and sent a powerful servant to contact the second master of the Ye family, and the price was naturally pressed again and again, and it was pressed to a very low level.

Although the second master Ye knows that it is too low, he can't sell it, the father and son of the old man Ye are in prison, he is a concubine, he is cautious, if he doesn't sell, he is afraid that he will not even be able to keep the family business to make a living, and now someone dares to buy it and has burned high incense, so he has to endure the pain, and sell the family business of the second room for 80,000 taels of silver overnight. Second Master Ye didn't know who the real owner behind Lu Dao was, and it would be good for him to get some more silver, or go to Jiangnan, or go to the north, and he couldn't stay in Weizhou anywhere.

After getting the silver ticket, Second Master Ye took his wife, concubines and children overnight, quietly hired a boat, boarded the boat from the Wei River and left.

On the morning of the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, the old prince got the news.

After listening to it, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile.

Concubine Yao was ruthless and accurate, but no one dared to buy any palace notice posted in the store, forcing the Ye family to return the deed. Someone in the Ye family is in prison, and they have gone in to see it once, whether it is Master Ye or Ye Sanye, who occupies the people's daughters, they have all been punished, and they have been tossed so that they only have half a life left, who would dare to disobey.
