Chapter 861: Population Increases
After the silkworm house opens in spring, the first batch of silkworm seeds are hatching, and the women of the old and new villages are busy here every day. www.biquge.info Lilan settled the warm soup pool to take care of it, and she also went to the silkworm room every day to do some work.
She doesn't have the status of the official wife of the Governor, but everyone knows about her past, and when she meets Lilan, people don't have to be overly inhibited, and she seems to be dealing with the family of the Governor, so Lilan is a very popular one among the crowd.
She is cheerful and understanding, her appearance is a little more beautiful than the Seventh Lady's beauty, and she is never annoyed when she makes a joke with her. Every day, Lilan walked to the silkworm room, curling Nana's, fiddling with those cocoons and silks, and her fingers were dexterous and agile.
And since the beginning of this year, Lilan's warm soup business in Jiaohe, Longquan Pavilion, and Ranch Village has been extremely popular, and she has not gone to the two places of Jiaohe and Longquan Pavilion to buy and sell, and she arranges trusted housekeepers to help take care of it every day.
Lilan and Lirong both went to Ranch Village, but their parents did not come to Ranch Village, and still lived in Jiaohe County, and hired additional servants and servants to wait.
In the first three months, Lirong's income in Wentang increased by more than 30% compared with the same period of the previous year. After the news spread, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law of the Xie family also muttered in private, what is the reason for this?
In the past, Lilan always ran to the silkworm room, and Wen Tang didn't care, and even they couldn't see Lilan pass by Xincun and go to the two Wentang hostels to take care of it, in fact, Lilan never went to Xincun once.
Sister-in-law Xie said, "Could it be that it is stained with the light of Gao Dudu?" ”
Compared with Lilan, Xie Guang and Xie Da's beef and horse butcher shops have not seen much improvement. The scratches left by his sister-in-law on Xie Guang's face were completely cleaned up after a month, because taking into account the old man's face, during the injury, Xie Da was running alone in the butcher shops in Xizhou, Jiaohe, and Liuzhong.
When Xie Guang's scar healed, when he remembered to take a look, he found that the meat was sold out during this time, and Xie Da didn't go to Mobei to buy cattle, and was surrounded by a few idle butcher shop guys to play money.
……
In March, the major events of Xizhou households were successfully completed, and they were at the forefront of all states in the world. At the beginning of the 20th year of Zhenguan, 23,060 households were approved in Xizhou, a net increase of 3,220 households over the 17th year of Zhenguan. The population increased by 7,728.
The household department took the matter of the fixed household in Xizhou to the court to talk about the matter, and used it to spur the slow progress of the state capital.
More importantly, through this household fixation, Gao Jun, the governor of Xizhou, also put forward a major proposal, which attracted the attention of the emperor.
According to the Xizhou Concerto, a total of 647 slaves and maids were found to have been deliberately concealed, involving 28 wealthy households that did not report, all of whom moved into Xizhou from various places in the 19th year of Zhenguan, and the largest household concealed 170 slaves and maids.
For example, in Chonghua Township, Tianshan County, Xizhou, out of a total of 34 households, only three households have slaves or maids, a total of seven people. However, after checking the three households, there were more than 60 slaves and maids.
The governor of Xizhou said that stability in the border areas is the most important, and the private households do not report too many slaves, ostensibly because they do not want to be determined to be high-class households to pay more taxes, but it is easy to make the state capital unclear and inconvenient to control the powerful. Especially in a frontier place like Xizhou, it is really a hidden worry.
For this reason, Xizhou ordered all the slaves and maids who were found to be concealed as good people to show the punishment of the concealed households. And these good slaves and maids became ordinary peasant households, distributed various fields, and undertook the legal servitude.
Among the 647 people who were released, there were 512 male slaves and 135 female maids, and young men had been selected to be enriched into the major pastures of the Tianshan Mountains to work as shepherds, and the women were arranged to weave silk and raise silk.
When the emperor heard this, he nodded again and again.
Xizhou not only set the fastest household, but also can find hidden worries, timely disposal, a no history of incumbency in Shangzhou, the governor of Xizhou also supervised the Tianshan Pastoral Supervisor, the Silk Road Governor, to make such a political achievement is really rare.
He issued an edict: In the border counties of the Tang Dynasty, no more than ten private households shall keep slaves and maids. If the slave or maid is forced to be released for confiscation of public service, and the head of the household shall be released for two years without returning.
……
And the increase in the income of Lilan's warm soup industry is almost the reason for the increase in population.
Tingzhou was merged, Yanqi was included, Kangli City and Shaya City were also returned to Xizhou, where all industries were prosperous, and people from all over the world came to Xizhou Tingzhou to seek some benefits. Everyone has to take a bubble bath, and it's not easy for Lilan to think about it.
But when there are many people, they also have to eat beef and horse meat, but the Xie brothers, who control the exclusive business of beef and horse meat in Xizhou, Xie Guang Huaxin and Xie Da are greedy for gambling, but they did not seize this opportunity to make a fortune.
As soon as the matter of settling the household was completed, Su Yin returned to Ranch Village from Xizhou Mansion, and Lilan finally had the opportunity to meet all the wives of Gao Jun's family.
When Su Yin returned, a 20-member women's guard passed through the old village in a majestic manner and a guard of honor.
The scale of the silkworm room and the weaving silk field has expanded again, Su Yin has just enriched the one hundred and thirty-five maids who are good, and the women are all standing on the side of the street to watch, and someone is pointing and pointing, "That is Su Yin, the eighth lady of the Gaodu Governor of Xizhou, I heard that her literary style and methods are amazing!" ”
"People are more beautiful than they were in the weaving field!"
"You know, it's refreshing for happy events. I heard that Lord Gao will not go to Xizhou every day, and his eighth lady is the de facto chief official of Xizhou, and even Lord Sima, Lord Sima, Lord Joiner, and Lord Recorder have to listen to this eighth lady, and the political affairs make her assigned in an orderly manner. ”
"But you are new here, but you don't know that there are still Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Fan, Mrs. Siqing, and Mrs. Cui in Gao Dudu's family...... It's even better than that......"
"Oh my God! I thought that this eighth lady had already risen to the sky, but according to what you said, those people are even more amazing! I'm new here, so I'll always have a chance to meet them in the future, right? ”
Amid the discussion of these women, Su Yin's guards had already crossed the old village street and arrived at the door of the silkworm room.
Lilan was working in the silkworm room, and hurriedly ran out with everyone to see the eighth lady, but she didn't see anything clearly when the guards had entered the pasture.
After returning to the silkworm room, Lilan thought while working, Gao Jun's home must be the most lively today, but what is he?
Last time, I borrowed the strength of wine to shake out the past, in addition to scaring Xie Guang away so that he no longer had delusions, and then there was a change that Gao Jun was not big enough to come to Wentang, so I recalled that I hadn't seen him for about ten days.
And the matter with Chen Zhutou will end without a problem. At this moment, thinking about Gao Jun's family, everyone has gathered flowers, and he seems to be more and more lonely.
was thinking wildly, but her sister Lirong came in a hurry. Lilan was angry that she didn't come to see her often, and deliberately ignored it with her head down.
Lirong said, "Sister, Sister Liu asked me to invite you to Xincun's house, saying that Su Yin is back, and our family is just getting together." ”
Lilan wanted to say, "What does it have to do with me getting together at the tall adult's house," but Lirong's last sentence of "family" made her heart move, and she didn't say anything, and was pulled out of the silkworm room by Lirong.
