350 [Governor of the Three Provinces]
"Welcome home!"
Huang E took the senior domestic servants and greeted Wang Yuan at the main gate.
Xiangxiang and Qiyun, two alien women, were also there, and Xiangxiang grew taller again. Qiyun jumped faster, a ten-year-old girl, growing two or three inches taller in a year.
"Second brother," Huang E asked for the child from the wet nurse, and reported to Wang Yuan, "This is the first day of junior high school, just wait for you to come back and give a big name." ”
At the beginning of the new year, the nickname is still called the first day of the new year, which has the meaning of "Qi Nian", is it called Wang Qi Nian?
Wang Yuan quietly sweated by himself, and occasionally before he crossed, the gold medal supporting role of "Wang Qinian" ran around, and he could see the shadow in many books, so he couldn't give his son a supporting role.
On the first day of the first month, the New Year's Day of the Ming Dynasty. So is it called Wang Yuan, or Wang Dan?
None of them seem to be good.
This day is the dynasty of the year, so is it called a dynasty?
Return Mahan!
This day is also called Yuan Shuo, so is it called Wang Shuo?
Well...... It always feels like I'm swearing.
"It's called Wang Su," Wang Yuan explained, "Su, Benye, Quality, and Sincerity." The ligatures were also taken together, and the word 'too primitive'. Taisu is the beginning of quality, he was born on the first day of the first month, hoping to bring essential innovation to the Ming Dynasty. ”
Huang E suddenly smiled: "Su'er, good name!" ”
In his sleep, Wang Su frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with the name.
Huang E greeted Wang Yuan and entered through the main entrance, and Xiangxiang, as a concubine, could only walk through the side door with the servants. Wang Yuan did not correct this inequality in personality, otherwise how could he explain to Huang E that he actually exceeded the etiquette system for the sake of a concubine?
After entering the house, Wang Yuan and Huang E talked privately for a while, and the housekeeper Zhou Chong came to report the situation.
It is mainly the income of the farm and the chicken farm, which is handed over to Zhou Chong to take care of, and the house is managed by Huang E himself.
Zhuangtian is like that, unless the invention of chemical fertilizer, it is difficult to make flowers.
However, the scale of the chicken farm has continued to expand, and now there are about 6,000 chickens, and the earthworms cultivated have long been insufficient, and many times they have to use grain as feed.
After listening to it casually, Wang Yuan didn't pay attention to it, anyway, all his industries would randomly send students (paid) to check the accounts regularly.
"Ahi is alright?" Wang Yuan asked.
This time, I didn't bring my beloved horse to Hangzhou, and I didn't fight anyway, so there was no need to travel long distances.
Zhou Chong replied: "Back to the second brother, except for night food, I personally fed it during the day." I brush Ah Hei every day, and I take him around, and I'm always in good spirits. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
With a lifespan of twenty or thirty years, and a record of sixty years, Hei is still a middle-aged horse, but in a few years he will be among the older horses.
When he came to the stable, Hei recognized the owner at a glance and leaned over affectionately to rub it.
He has four mares as wives and has already given birth to six children.
The eldest son is even three years old, quite a miracle horse, and after training, he can ride to war. Wang Yuan planned to give it to Yuan Da, after all, Yuan Da followed him all the year round, and when he went to the battlefield, he was just short of a good horse that could be used.
"Yuan Er, this horse is yours, hurry up and train hard." Wang Yuan said.
Yuan Da grinned and said, "Thank you, second brother." ”
Zhou Chong said: "There is usually training, and Second Brother Yuan only needs to be familiar with it." ”
Wang Yuan rode Ah Hei, Yuan Da rode Ah Hei's son, and the two ran around the Wang family's mansion, and then went back to eat comfortably.
Huang E called Xiangxiang as usual, and Xia Chan and Qiyun waited by the side.
Xu hadn't seen him for a year, Xiangxiang was a little unfamiliar, and shouted timidly: "Husband." ”
Wang Yuan smiled approvingly: "Yes, the accent is much correct." ”
Xiangxiang said: "My sister has been teaching me to speak Chinese, and Qiyun and I can already memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text". By the way, when the prince (Zhu Dangshu) sent someone to send the treasure knife, my father also sent letters and wool, and I learned to knit a sweater for my husband and sister. ”
On the Western Regions, the situation has improved slightly, but there is still a shortage of food for the time being.
Woolen mills are doing well, and wool is popular in Gansu for grain, tea, and ironware. The Mongolian tribes sheared their sheep and sent them to Turpan to exchange daily necessities, and of course occasionally engaged in the tea and horse trade with Gansu.
Yeerqiang Khan and Zhu Dangshu, the king of Xiliang, swore an alliance on the Gobi Desert, and each promised not to attack the other.
Zhu Dangshu naturally wants to farm and develop, and his capital is too weak.
Yeerqiang Khan also had to stabilize his interior, and by the way, he frantically attacked Sari Wuer last year.
The Sari Vultures live widely in the southern Xinjiang region, and all of them believe in Buddhism. They are right next to the Yarkand Khanate, their religious beliefs are still different, and their strength is very weak, so they naturally became the main targets of the Yerkamp Khan.
Historically, most of these Buddhist Sari Vultures were forced to move to Gansu to form a completely new ethnic group: the Yugurs.
But now, these people were attacked by the Yeerqiang Khanate, some moved to the cities of Turpan, and some moved to the cities of Hami, which greatly increased the population of the territory of the Western Regions of China. Zhu Dangshu, the king of Xiliang, finally had no shortage of population, almost returning to the level of the reign of Mansuer, and the new population was all Buddhists.
"By the way," Huang E suddenly asked, "I heard Chan'er say that you adopted an adopted daughter in Hangzhou?" ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's an adopted daughter, I invited a nurse to take it, and I'm more than half a year old." The child was too young, and I was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the wind and waves at sea, so I did not bring her back to Beijing together. ”
Huang E was quite curious: "Why did you suddenly think of your adopted daughter?" ”
Wang Yuan explained: "In several provinces south of the Yangtze River, there is a bad custom of drowning babies. First, marrying extravagance has become a trend, and marrying a daughter is easy to break the family; Second, it is superstitious that the first child of a baby girl is unlucky, and she cannot have another son if she does not drown. Therefore, there are many people who drown female babies, and it is estimated that some people are reluctant to drown their daughters, and they are afraid that they will marry a girl and ruin their family, so they abandon their daughters outside the governor's palace. ”
Although Xia Chan went to Zhejiang, she didn't know about this kind of thing, and exclaimed with Huang E, Xiangxiang, and Qiyun: "There is still this custom? ”
"It's so terrible, how can parents bear to drown their own flesh and blood?" Huang E said in disbelief, "I didn't have a deep understanding before, but after giving birth to Su'er, I didn't know the mood of being a mother." Even if Su'er slept for a long time and didn't move, I was afraid that he would have an accident, so I had to probe my nose to rest assured. Isn't the conscience of those parents of spoiled girls made of meat? ”
Wang Yuan sighed and said: "The little people are drowning girls, although they are cruel, they are barely understandable. What I hate the most is those big families, who can afford to raise their daughters and dowry, but they spoil their daughters and wash their children because of superstitious rumors. Li Bohan, the third grandson of Li Min, the champion of the Chenghua Dynasty, was confiscated by me because of his drowning daughter, and he also sent Li Bohan's mother and wife to the Jiaofang Division together. ”
Huang E was a little sympathetic and said: "Even if you punish his wife, there is no need to blame his mother." ”
Wang Yuan's face was ugly and said: "After the interrogation of Chang Lun, the magistrate of Qiantang County, the decision to drown the baby was made by Li Bohan's mother. She herself only gave birth to a single seedling, and her son had not given birth to a wife for many years, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hold a grandson, so she ordered her granddaughter to be drowned. Li Bohan is a foolish and filial person, and he will do whatever his mother says. ”
Huang E was speechless for a moment.
Wang Yuan talked about his own practice in Zhejiang again, and they couldn't laugh or cry.
Xia Chan couldn't help but smile: "No wonder someone in the Governor's Mansion asked me, does Governor Wang usually use spells at home, does it make the house cool when it is hot in summer, it turns out that the master can communicate with the gods." ”
The women laughed.
After the meal, the son finally woke up, Wang Yuan hugged him and teased him a few times, which caused Su'er to cry, and hurriedly returned it to the nurse to coax.
In the afternoon of the same day, several friends and disciples came to Wang's house to visit and reminisce.
At night, no words, omitted.
On the second day, Wang Yuan went to the leopard room to meet the imperial concubine, and then the whole army prepared to go on the expedition.
Zhu Houzhao was planning to recruit in person, and first asked the eunuch Zhang Yong to set off with more than 10,000 elites of the Beijing camp, under the pretext that the Mongolian barbarians came to detain the border again. Then he fled lightly, and then asked Xu Tai and others to lead the Leopard Fang border army to the battle, and the emperor now has more than 20,000 troops directly under his hands.
But Zhu Houzhao still didn't know the bottom of his heart, and asked Wang Yuan to bring 6,000 soldiers to support. Moreover, the 6,000 soldiers were all personally trained by Wang Yuan, so there should be no problem in commanding.
Wang Yuan's temporary position this time was to serve as the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces in the capacity of the right attendant of the military department.
Also, Wang Yuan's governor of Zhejiang has not stepped down, and he is the real governor of the three provinces.
The governors of the three provinces may be found in the history of China, but at the same time, the northern and southern provinces where the governors are not connected are the only ones in the scorpion.
