Chapter 20 The Solution
"Even the lady is serious, you are the virtuous helper of the official, how can you say that it is the work of dogs and horses? It should be the husband and the wife singing, the piano and the harmony of the piano, and the Luan Feng and the Ming are right. Xia Xiang teased Lian Ruohan, and without waiting for Lian Ruohan to change his face, he hurriedly said, "There are about 10,000 acres of salt land abandoned here, and there are about 1,000 displaced people. If there is a way to turn the salt land into fertile land, more than 1,000 displaced people can each get 10 acres of fertile land, which is enough to support their families. ”
Lian Ruohan was teased by Xia Xiang, but pretended not to hear it, looking indifferent. Cao Shuli bowed her head slightly shyly.
"But how do you turn salt land into fertile land?" Cao Shuli didn't know anything about agriculture, but she also knew that if the salt land was easy to turn into fertile land, it would not be abandoned to this day. How will Xia Langjun solve a problem that no one has solved for thousands of years?
Zheng Hao, Mantuo, and Xiao Jia also don't know that agriculture is not planting, and they are all very curious, although even Ruohan has never planted crops with her own hands, but because she grew up in a family, she has been in contact with tenant farmers, and she is familiar with agriculture, plus she is smart enough, just thinking about it, she figured out the key to the problem, and was pleasantly surprised: "Xia Xianzun not only has the ambition to serve the country, but also has a delicate heart, and the little woman is so admirable." ”
"What do you admire me?" Xia Xiang asked knowingly, and he was also very happy in his heart. Among several people, Lian Ruohan was the first person to guess his thoughts, it can be seen that Lian Ruohan and him still have the same heart, and only Lian Ruohan is his best match.
Of course, Cao Niangzi is gentle and virtuous, but she is a good wife and mother who runs the family in the Lord.
"Xia Xianzun wants to spread the mud from the Hutuo River on the salt land, which is very fertile and used to grow crops. Covering the salt land with silt, counting in one fell swoop, not only solves the hidden danger of the Hutuo River, but also turns the salt land into fertile land, and also allows the displaced people to have land to plant...... "Even Ruohan's life is rarely convincing, and the time to know Xia Xiang is not short, and Xia Xiang has always been both respectful and far away, today's events, let her really feel Xia Xiang's heart for the people and the wisdom of having ideas and methods, and finally sincerely admire Xia Xiang, "Xia County respects the life of the people, the road is also the road, the world is for the public, please accept the little woman!" ”
Lian Ruohan was solemn and upright, and after standing still, he bowed to Xia Xiangyingying.
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Xia Xiang picked up Lian Ruohan with both hands, with a sincere look of fear, "Lian Niangzi is serious, the so-called seeking his own government in his position, since this official is a true county magistrate, he is a true official of the people's parents, and he should do things for the people with the heart of his parents." ”
"If everyone who is an official has the heart of a parent and treats the people as children, then the world will be peaceful." Lian Ruohan's heart surged with emotion and long-lost passion, "Since I broke with the family, I have been used to being alone, and after creating a good prosperity, I am dedicated to doing business, gradually expanding, and I just want to make more money and swallow more business houses to occupy more places, although I have also thought about helping the world and becoming a big businessman, but I have never been like Xia Xianzun, do one thing and benefit hundreds of people, please Xia Xianzun worship the little woman again!" ”
Xia Xiang can really feel Lian Ruohan's sincerity, and can also understand the emotion and passion surging in her heart. Lian Ruohan has been lonely since he was a child, and he has a strong personality, so it is inevitable that he will be strong-willed, and it is reasonable not to know the hardships of the people and the difficulties of the people's livelihood. It is rare that she has great kindness in her heart, and he was also moved for a while, and returned the salute: "Even the lady has something to do now, and once it is done, it can also benefit hundreds of people." ”
"I just want to follow Xia Xianzun and do what I can. But according to Xia County's orders. Lian Ruohan's extremely serious appearance added a bit of solemnity to her beautiful face, adding a sense of nobility and inviolability.
"I don't dare to tell you, I just hope that Lian Niangzi can help the official and build some houses for the homeless to live." Xia Xiang continued to walk towards the tile kiln, and several people followed, all silent, all shocked by the conversation between Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan.
Needless to say, Cao Shuli has also been clothed and fed since she was a child, although she is not as noble and rich as Lian Ruohan, but she has never tasted the hardships of life. On this trip to Zhending, she saw people working in the fields, displaced people selling their children and daughters to survive, and seeing the livelihood of the displaced people outside Zhending City so difficult, she was extremely sad and deeply worried. But he hated that he was powerless, he couldn't help Xia Langjun do anything, and he didn't have the money to help the people and help them eat and clothe them.
Zheng Hao's heart was also slightly touched, he was also from a family, he had never experienced the pain of displacement, although he had also seen the difficulty of survival of the homeless, but he only regarded it as the fault of Hou Pingpan's new law, and did not try to help the homeless people solve their livelihood from the perspective of local parents and officials. I just want to wait for everything to be better after Pingpan steps down.
Compared with Xia Xiang, he still lacks responsibility and due bearing, only thinking about starting from the party struggle, single-mindedly preventing Cui Xiang's dictatorship, and only wanting to see Hou Pingpan fail and fall into the dust, but he didn't think about how many people would be affected, displaced or even ruined by this while the court dispute.
But...... Zheng Hao suddenly felt in his heart that what he had done was not wrong, he came to Zhending Mansion to serve as a general judge, and he was originally ordered to supervise Cui Xiang. It was Cui Xiang and Xia Xiang's duty to pacify the people and govern the locality, he only made a general judgment, supervised the prefect and the county, and jointly signed all the soldiers and people, money valley, household registration, enlistment, prison litigation and other state government affairs. Only the co-signatory does not have the right to intervene directly.
Thinking like this, Zheng Hao was a little relieved.
"If Lian Niangzi builds a house for the homeless people to live in, this official will definitely say that Cui Fuzun will be moved, and let the government also help Xia Xianzun and Lian Niangzi." Zheng Hao wanted to promote this matter very much, and was also happy to see Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan join forces.
"Even if Cui Fuzun doesn't agree with me to build a private house, he won't stop it openly." Lian Ruohan smiled confidently, "Cui Fuzun is a member of the Cui family in Qinghe after all, and he and I are also a family." Even if Cui Fuzun and the head of the Cui family in Qinghe have a disagreement, in some things that have nothing to do with the overall situation, he will not easily go against the people of the family. ”
"If the homeless house is built, I am afraid it will cost a lot, and the homeless have no money, should the house be sold or rented?" Zheng Hao thought of the crux of the matter.
Mantuo didn't say a word from beginning to end, just followed behind Xia Xiang, keeping Xia Xiang thoughtful every step of the way. She is quiet on the surface, but in fact, she is secretly happy that Xia Xiang has always been the same for the people. Like his father, Xia Xiang is broad-minded, and always regards the affairs of the people as the top priority, and she does her best to protect him, and he is indeed worth following.
What is even more commendable is that Xia Xiang is more flexible and rounded than his father, knows how to advance and retreat, uses both soft and hard, and is more gentlemanly and not competitive and not party-like. Mantuo sighed secretly in his heart, if only his father knew how to advance and retreat like Xia Xiang. If people are above the officialdom in the court and want to benefit the people, sometimes they must have the wisdom to judge the situation and not blindly compete for the courage of the husband.
"Work instead of rent, rent instead of buy." Xiao Jia has the most ideas in business, and at this time he probably figured out Xia Xiang's thoughts, and said, "When cleaning up the silt of the Hutuo River, the government requisitioned civilian boatmen and laborers to be responsible for digging and transporting silt from the river. After being transported to the salt fields, the displaced people are responsible for spreading the silt. Each homeless person can get ten acres of fertile land by spreading ten acres of land. It is not possible to only grow grain on fertile land, and when the seeds are sown in the spring of the next year, the good times will always provide grain outside and Xu Yuanwai and Ma Yuan. When the autumn harvest comes, the grain can be repaid at a certain interest. ”
Xia Xiang nodded, smiling without saying a word. Even Ruohan was thoughtful, but he didn't speak. Zheng Hao nodded, thought of something again, and asked: "It is equivalent to saying that the homeless people have ten acres of fertile land for nothing, and they only need to repay the grain and interest, how to calculate the cost of fertile land and the cost of private houses?" ”
"Lian Niangzi spent a lot of money to build thousands of houses, naturally she will not only invest without return, and the government will not let Lian Niangzi pay for free." Xia Xiang already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't say it himself, but threw the problem to Xiao Jia again, "It's up to Xiao Niangzi to talk about how to let Lian Niangzi get benefits." ”
Although Xiao Jia is not as good as Xia Xiang, she has the overall pattern and strategy, but under Xia Xiang's overall situation, she can give full play to her wisdom and wisdom, and make Xia Xiang's overall situation and strategy specific to planning and strategy. The cost of building a private house is also borne by Lian Niangzi. The total of the two items will be more than 100,000 taels of silver. ”
"One hundred thousand taels?" Although Zheng Hao was born in a family, he couldn't help but be shocked, "With such a big investment, even if the good times are always rich and rich, I am afraid that it will be unbearable." ”
"I can get 100,000 taels of silver." Lian Ruohan smiled lightly.
"It's one thing to take out, but how can the local government let the merchant take out 100,000 taels of silver for the government for no reason?" Zheng Hao smiled playfully, "Even if Ruohan and Xia Xianzun are a family, it's not good." I have only heard of some people pretending to be public and private, but I have never seen anyone pretending to be private and private. ”
"Zheng Tongju, listen to what I have to say." Xiao Jia glared at Zheng Hao dissatisfied, blaming Zheng Hao for interjecting indiscriminately, "The two items totaling 100,000 taels of silver, Zhending County can't take it, Zhending Mansion can't take it out, the good times are always there, but how to repay the investment that the good times are always in is the key." In fact, it is also simple to say, the 10,000 acres of fertile land paved after clearing the silt are all classified as good times, and all the displaced people are classified as tenant farmers who are always in good times. In this way, isn't it all solved? ”
"Also, the mound just now is located in the middle of 10,000 acres of fields, and a house is built, which is just right for Lian Niangzi to live in." Xiao Jia pointed to the tile kiln not far in front of him, and smiled playfully, "Look, Xia County Zun has even taken into account the tile kiln used to build the house, so how many people can there be in the entire Great Xia?" ”
"Convinced, really convinced." Zheng Hao rarely convinces people in his life, this time he really convinced Xia Xiang, not only admired Xia Xiang's foresight, but also admired Xia Xiang's borrowing of strength, and was thorough, replacing him, he would never take into account such meticulousness and thoughtfulness, "Xia Xianzun, please accept my courtesy." ”
Xia Xiang hurriedly returned the salute, waved his hand and smiled: "Zheng Tong is not going to be confused, I just mentioned casually what I planned today, I can have such a detailed plan because Lian Niangzi has both the heart of a bodhisattva and the financial resources of a rich country, but also because of the kindness of this Cao Niangzi, and because of Xiao Niangzi's ingenuity and whimsy." ”
Lian Ruohan, Cao Shuli and Xiao Jia were very helpful when they heard it, although the three of them knew that everything was actually Xia Xiang's strategy, they still couldn't help but be overjoyed. Xia Xiang lifted the three of her out, which shows that Xia Xiang attaches great importance to the three of her and puts it in a very important position in his heart.
Zheng Hao laughed: "I originally just admired Xia County's clever way of being an official, but now I admire Xia County's skill of controlling women even more, killing three birds with one stone, powerful, really powerful." But Xia Xianzun, I have something to say first, you like Lian Niangzi and Cao Niangzi, Xiao Niangzi can leave it to me, I want to marry Xiao Niangzi as a wife. ”
"Who is going to marry you? Dream! Xiao Jia is not pretending to be good to Zheng, but there is a playful smile in his voice, "The person I want to marry must be as handsome and talented as Xia Langjun, and he must also have the heart of an official for the country and the people." If you have a big heart, you will have a high vision, and if you have a high vision, you can make great achievements. Young and promising and promising are completely different realms. Zheng Tong judged, you are young and promising, but it is not certain whether you will make great achievements in the future. ”
Zheng Hao refused to give in: "What if I have a lot to do in the future?" Will Mrs. Xiao marry me? ”
"There are many kinds of great achievements, depending on which one you are. If Zheng Tongju only became a big official, such as a first-class and second-class official, he might think that he had made great achievements. But in my opinion, if you don't do real good things for the benefit of the people, even if you become the prime minister, you are just a bureaucrat. And like Xia County, it is the Qipinzhi County, which can benefit one party, so that thousands of people have food, clothing, clothing, and housing to live, which is a great achievement. ”
Zheng looked at Xiao Jia and then at Xia Xiang, and smiled meaningfully: "So, the person Xiao Niangzi wants to marry in the future is as similar as Xia Xianzun as much as possible?" ”
Xiao Jia did not shy away from it, and generously admitted: "Exactly." So I persuaded Zheng Tong to retreat in the face of difficulties and find another beauty. ”
Zheng Hao laughed: "Although I don't think Xia Xianzun is much better than me, but since Xiao Niangzi has set a threshold, and I like Xiao Niangzi, I will naturally give it a try." Ambition must be there, what if it is realized? ”
Xia Xiang couldn't cry or laugh: "Why do you want to talk about the two of you?" How innocent I am. ”
Lian Ruohan said angrily: "How innocent are you? You're the worst person. ”
"I ......" Xia Xiang was even more speechless, so he had to pretend to be confused, "Where am I broken?" I'm just a loyal and honest little Langjun who is not good at words and can't speak sweetly, known as an honest and reliable Xiaolangjun. ”
"Huh......" Cao Shuli couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and smiling, like the wind passing through the lotus leaves, like clouds passing through the sky, bright and far away, "The first time I saw Xia Langjun, I saw that Xia Langjun actually had a hidden heart for flirting with women under his seemingly loyal appearance. ”
