"Maybe I like to be neat and clean." Xu Zixian said: "I have now hired people to clean the garbage on all streets in the town regularly and fill it in the big garbage dump outside the town.

There is not much domestic garbage in this era, and the industrial waste is zero, but over time, it is not strange that the garbage piled up into a mountain is not strange, the garbage will infect diseases and bring foul smells, in fact, the Great Wei Taizu has a lot of concerns about public health, open ditches and culverts, prescribed landfills, vegetation protection, water source protection, and advocating drinking boiled water, these are the common sense instilled in people during the Taizu years.

But with the decline of the ability of the local government, the relaxation of the system is inevitable, it can only be said that Taizu was in power for a short time, he pushed many things forward a big step, and with the passage of time, many things rebounded back.

This is also to make Xu Zixian have some understanding, if he can reach a very high position in the future, he should establish a stricter system at the same time, increase the intensity of publicity, so that some things are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and gradually become inherited.

Chen Wenjun chuckled, and Xu Zixian also smiled...... Some aristocratic men like wine and beauty, some love safari, some like male style, some love calligraphy and famous paintings, some like antique utensils, and some simply like power or money.

Everyone has their own purpose, just like Xu Ziwen, who is like the son of the world, what he likes is the fame and status brought to him by the way of literature, which is also something that everyone understands and quite knows.

But there is no noble child who has said anything seriously: I love cleanliness.

It's not a three-year-old!

Chen Wenjun smiled heartily for a while, and she felt that Xu Zixian had narrowed the distance between herself and herself a lot. Now it's no secret that the Marquis of Changwen's Mansion is interested in Xu Zixian, this time Chen Dujing came with a few people with status in the clan, but it was not really here to enjoy the mountains and rivers...... Really play, there are hundreds of thousands of ancient buildings in the city of Fuzhou, surrounded by famous mountains and rivers, just play, why bother to Nan'an, a remote town?

Chen Wenjun understands this, she has no lack of appreciation and liking for Xu Zixian, but this emotion is still only in the bud, although this girl has no resistance to her parents' orders, but she still hopes to know more...... The situation and atmosphere tonight are not bad, and Chen Wenjun feels satisfied.

Xu Zixian is also satisfied, he has been thinking about this in his past life and this life, marrying Chen Wenjun is not only a realistic consideration, but also an obsession in his heart.

This girl was extremely unhappy because of him, if he can change his life against the sky, making the girl in front of him happier is his destiny to change!

"That's right." Chen Wenjun rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that you have a concubine?" ”

"Well...... Xu Zixian had been prepared for this question for a long time, smiled bitterly, and confessed: "It is said that I should not take a concubine before getting married, but Xiuniang is a poor person." ”

At the moment, he told Na Xiuniang about the before and after stories one by one, Chen Wenjun actually knew about it a long time ago, and at this time he still listened with a smile and didn't say a word.

Such an attitude made Xu Zixian feel a little strange, and in the end, he felt a little stumbling, and he felt a little unnatural.

"If you can......" Chen Wenjun couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Can Brother Jiu send someone to send me to the back house of the other courtyard?" I'm going to see my little sister. ”

Of course, looking at Xiaomei is just an excuse, Chen Wenjun should be going to see Xiuniang.

At this time, Chen Dujing's voice came from not far away, and it seemed that they had also finished discussing and asked Xu Zi to go over first.

"Okay, I just want to talk to Uncle Chen about business." Xu Zixian perked up and called a servant woman here in Mingtang, and asked her to bring Chen Wenjun and the maid Luzhu to the back house, fortunately, the two sides were not far apart, and there was a corner door connected, although it was locked, someone would come and open the door after a few calls.

Seeing Chen Wenjun leave, Xu Zixian didn't feel any uneasiness in his heart. Chen Wenjun has always had a cold and bland personality, and only in front of the person she likes will have mood swings, Xiuniang is just a stranger to her, and the kind of bloody drama in which the eldest woman gives the concubine first can never appear on Chen Wenjun's body.

Xiuniang is gentle and easy-going, after suffering, she knows how much she can have, she has been waiting for the arrival of the eldest woman for a long time, and the only hope and expectation is that the eldest woman's temper will not be too weird and will not bully her.

Of course, what Xiuniang is looking forward to more is Xu Zixian's protection and commitment, which Xu Zixian has already given her.

As for giving birth to a son and a half daughter, it is a more important thing for Xiuniang.

For Xu Zixian, these two women have already called him very draining, and more women, even if they are immortals, he doesn't want to bring them to the back house.

For those tough characters who have dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of women, Xu Zixian can only express his sincere admiration, and he is not qualified to be such an awesome protagonist......

"Wen Jun went to the back house to see the little sister?" Chen Zhengzhi greeted him first, and his face was full of weird smiles.

"yes." Xu Zixian didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he stepped up and walked to Chen Dujing's side.

Chen Dujing didn't seem to care much about the whereabouts of his third daughter, the purpose of coming over this time was quite obvious, he believed that Xu Zi would understand first, and he would be able to properly handle the affairs of the back house.

For traditional scholars, the affairs of the back house do not have to be too concerned, just deal with it.

Chen Dujing said straightforwardly: "Mingda, we have carefully seen your situation here, and we have also seen your one-legged workshop machine before, and several of us agree that the output will increase many times, and the specific amount depends on how many peasant women on your official village can sign a contract with you, and how much time they can spend to make cloth." However, the cooperation in this matter can be finalized, and the cloth trading in our Changwenhou Mansion is considered to be the larger one on Fujian Road, well, the largest is the Pu family. The cotton output of Fujian Road, the number of spinning machines, the number of spindles, and the number of cotton threads and cloths spun are far inferior to Suzhou on Jiangnan East Road, especially Huating County, where there are more than one million acres of cotton fields near a county, and six million pieces of cloth are produced a year, and our Fujian Road is only 150 horses, which is less than 30% of a county, which is really a shame...... Now that you have a one-legged machine, the output of cloth will come up a lot, which is also gratifying. ”

Chen Dujing's words made Xu Zixian a little moved, many officials and nobles only consider their own interests, and there are very few who can really look at the overall situation like Chen Dujing in front of them.

"If there is not enough cotton, I am afraid it will be unsustainable." Xu Zixian still said quite calmly: "Fujian has little flat land, grain can not be self-sufficient, a large number of acres of land are used to grow sugarcane, mulberry trees to raise silkworms, and a large number of tea mountains, and then expand cotton fields, I am afraid that the grain output will be even less...... We can't all live by buying food, and if there is any trouble caused by bandits, I am afraid that many people will starve to death in the territory. ”

"This matter is indeed difficult to solve......

"Let's buy more cotton first, no matter what, there is still money to be made when the mill moves. The cloth production here is high, and there will be many Hu merchants who come to buy it, which is always a good thing for the people of Fujian Road. ”

Jiangnan East Road is the richest road in Dawei, mainly because of the high output of raw silk, the high yield of cotton, and the output of porcelain, tea, and paper are left behind Zhulu, so if Dawei has a statistical bureau at this time, it is estimated that Jiangnan East Road and Jiangling Mansion will definitely leave the provinces and roads far behind.

Jingshi is the military and political center, and in terms of business, it is not as dynamic as Quanzhou on Fujian Road, which is also related to the geographical environment.

"You also have to practice martial arts." Chen Dujing finally reminded: "The most important thing is the group training, which is the foundation of your life. What's more important is that you can get the knighthood and official position, so that you have more opportunities to spread. After all, Nan'an is still too small here, if you have the opportunity, when you fight the sky like an eagle, go to Beijing to attack the lord, and participate in the lock hall test, it is the most important thing for you in the future. ”

"Little nephew understands." Xu Zi first felt the kindness of the elder in front of him, but he was still slightly disappointed in his heart, it seems that the Changwen Marquis Mansion still needs to see his higher value in order to be the most sure.

This should not be Chen Dujing's own meaning, bringing Chen Wenjun is an obvious signal, but unfortunately in such a big family, sometimes the head of the family can't do what he wants.

The evening breeze blew slowly, the bamboo tips made a shabu sound, and the group sat in the bamboo forest while talking, Xu Zixian's mood gradually calmed down and calmed.

In any case, this life has changed greatly compared to the previous life, and when I think back to this time in the previous life, I am still ignorant and in the fog of history, at the mercy of others.

And at this time, he at least has the strength and hope to break the game, what the future holds, who can be sure?

At least here on Fujian Road, Xu Zixian already has the ability to be a chess piece in the affairs of civil, military, and political affairs, and before that, he didn't even have a chance to enter the game.

……

After placing Chen Dujing and the others, Xu Ming carried the lantern and Xu Zixian back to the inner house together.

Along the way, there are a lot of dead wind lanterns hanging in conspicuous places to illuminate, and these lights will not be blown out by the people until Xu Zi rests first.

The situation here in the Houfu Courtyard is indeed different from usual, a pound of lamp oil is worth a few pounds of rice, and other idlers don't have the financial resources to use it so squanderingly.

Along the way, I stepped on the road paved with blue bricks, and after arriving at the inner house, I learned that Chen Wenjun had left with his maid, of course, to go to the place where Chen Dujing and others were placed to rest.

Xiuniang and Xiaomei hadn't slept yet, Xu Zi sat down first, and then Xiuniang came to wash his feet and waited for him to soak his feet.

The fatigue of the day seemed to be burned by the hot water, Xu Zixian let out a comfortable moan, and the little sister and Xiuniang laughed.

"Don't you ask what the third sister of the Chen family said when she came over?" Xu Zi didn't say it first, but the little sister couldn't help it.

"Little sister, don't be naughty......" Xu Zixian said helplessly: "Don't mix with the affairs of adults." ”

While speaking, Xu Zi first looked at Xiuniang, and it happened that Xiuniang also looked at him.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and both smiled as if they understood each other's intentions.
