Chapter 142: Field Trip
Duan Ying said timidly: "Your Majesty, the farmer eats much more food in one meal than we eat, and the concubines think that it is because there is less oil and water in their food. ”
Zhu Youxiao asked strangely: "How do you know these things." ”
Duan Ying replied: "The concubine's father once told us that the reason why the peasant family eats more at each meal is that there is less oil and water, and second, the farm work is heavier. If you increase oil and water, you don't need to eat so much. ”
Zhu Youxiao thought, yes, he once learned that eating is to provide energy, fat contains far more energy than the sugar in grains, if oil is added to farmers' recipes, it should be able to greatly reduce the amount of food used.
He smiled and said, "Concubine Ai is really good, she knows so many things, let me thank you very much." So saying, he stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, and he was about to make a fool of himself.
Duan Ying said shyly: "Your Majesty, it's not dark yet." ”
Zhu Youxiao smiled lewdly and said: "I am the Son of Heaven, it doesn't matter if it's dark or not." After saying that, he led her into the tent.
At dinner, Keshi asked, "Is my brother really going to let girls study too?" ”
Zhu Youxiao replied: "Nurse, do you think this suggestion is good?" ”
Ke said: "Of course it's good, I think after the death of my head of the family, if I still know a few words, how can I be bullied like that by others." ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Who dares to bully the nurse, let's go and arrest him and let him kowtow to the nurse." ”
Ke shook his head and said, "Who else can there be, it's not them waiting for home." Now that I am better off than them, why bother them again. ”
Zhu Youxiao gave a thumbs up to the Hakka family and said: "Although the nurse is a woman, this mind is much stronger than that of a man. ”
Wei Zhongxian looked at the Hakka family's towering chest unobtrusively and said, "It is precisely because Mrs. Fengsheng is so open-minded that she can raise a generation of male lords like the Holy Lord. ”
Zhu Youxiao laughed: "When it comes to sycophancy, the factory is still powerful." ”
Ke Shi smiled: "Brother, of course it's good to let girls study, but I'm afraid that ordinary families won't let girls go to school, and it doesn't seem good for boys and girls to study together." ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Yes, we need to use a special girls' school." The education of girls is more important than that of boys, and in the average family, mothers have a much greater influence on their children than fathers. ”
Hakka didn't understand why the mother had more influence on the child than the father, and she thought for a while: "If you use a female teacher, the effect should be much better." ”
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "First of all, we still have to teach female students before we can have female teachers." ”
After eating, Wei Zhongxian finally received a message from the Dongchang spies that Sanzhu's family had indeed only received a pension of ten yuan from the government, and there were people in all links from the military department to the Wang family, so the pension of 1,000 yuan became ten, and the 50 acres of land had disappeared.
After receiving the report, Zhu Youxiao instructed: "As long as it is someone who stretches out his hand, he will be temporarily detained by me, and I will severely punish these moths." ”
Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously: "Shengshang, do you want to be interrogated by Dongchang first?" ”
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Yang Lian's title of Qincha is still there, you let Dongchang try it first, and at the same time let Yang Lian and the Independent Commission Against Corruption participate in the hearing." ”
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian's face was embarrassed, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What's wrong, is there any problem?" ”
Wei Zhongxian replied: "Holy Lord, if other people are involved, Dongchang will be a little constrained. In particular, Yang Lian has always disliked slaves and maids, and the saint knows it. ”
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Factory minister, what do you think, now that someone is supervising the East Factory, even if something goes wrong, it will not be a problem on the East Factory's side, and someone will help you share it." But if there is no one to supervise, Dongchang may follow a simple and rude way, and over time, some people will criticize it. I've heard people say that a momentary inconvenience can be exchanged for long-term convenience. ”
Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground: "The saint, it is the slave and maid who are not thoughtful, and after a little plucking by the saint, he understands the meaning of the saint's love for the slave and maid." ”
Zhu Youxiao said solemnly: "I hope that when you are dying, you and I can still be the ruler and the minister without suspicion, then we have to do things in the open on weekdays, I don't want to drive you back to your hometown one day." ”
Wei Zhongxian kowtowed and said, "Please rest assured, there will never be this day." ”
The next morning, Zhu Youxiao and others went to Wang's house. Wang's house is a three-room tiled house, and it looks okay, but the open space in front of the house is overgrown with weeds. Wei Zhongxian stepped forward to call the door, and an elderly woman with a sad face opened the door, looked at them and asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Our host family once participated in the Guards with your second pillar, so I came to visit the second elder today. ”
Erzhu Niang looked at Zhu Youxiao suspiciously, she couldn't believe that he was actually Erzhu's compatriot in the army, but she still opened the door and said: "The chaos at home makes the guests laugh." ”
A few people entered the house, only to find that the word "four walls" was too appropriate for the Wang family. Wei Zhongxian asked in surprise: "Look at this house, the cultivation is very neat, but why is it like this?" ”
Erzhu Niang's tears flowed: "The third son was at home that day, and my family lived a fairly prosperous life, but later Dazhu died in Liaodong, and Erzhu was not in Sichuan, and the days were not as good as day by day." Last time, the third son sought medical treatment and prayed to God, and everything he could sell was sold, and it became like this. ”
Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and said: "Erzhu should have a pension, I don't know how much it has been paid?" ”
Erzhu Niang wiped her eyes and said, "The government gave me ten yuan, which is not bad, and I used it on Sanzhu last time." ”
Zhu Youxiao asked again: "I see that the front and back of this house are very large, why don't you raise some chickens, pigs or something, you can also subsidize the family." ”
Erzhu Niang shook her head and said: "Chickens and piglets can be bought with money, if one of them is not taken care of well and dies, it will lose money." ”
Zhu Youxiao thought that it was still a problem of poverty, so he said: "I'll take a look around the house, and you guys will talk first." ”
He and Wei Zhongxian and Hao Ming went out of the house, and when they came to the house, Zhu Youxiao said: "Raising a group of chickens and a few pigs here can solve their family's poverty problem in a year, but unfortunately they lack start-up capital." ”
Wei Zhongxian didn't understand what the start-up capital was, but he could barely guess the meaning, he said tentatively: "Holy Lord, the slave maid heard from the people below that Qian'an distributed free chickens and piglets, and it was very prosperous. Can we do it here too? ”
