Chapter 657: Eyes are charming

What kind of pension, Zheng Lang doesn't believe it at all. It is only the dividends of the Ping'an Prison for one year, as well as the salaries and rewards of the imperial court, and the family is lying on the gold and silver mountains without moving, unless they want to live in Cai Jing's house, Xia Zhu's luxury carriage, and the famous prostitutes of Xiao Song, eat and drink in Fan Lou.

Of course, defeat is also fast, if it is not moved, the father and son eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, everything is complete, no matter how good the family foundation is, it will be lost, but it seems that no one in his family has these bad habits.

Don't take it seriously, Yue'er sat on the side again, Zheng Lang just lowered his head and drank tea, whatever you want.

"Zheng Xianggong, the concubine is not joking, last year, my father gave the clansmen more than 20,000 yuan to spend," Wu Yi continued to say in a delicate voice. After staying in the capital for a long time, he actually spoke the standard official language of the Song Dynasty.

"Do you really want to go into business?" Zheng Lang raised his head.

"Yes, the concubine heard that some businessmen in the capital went south and came with Zheng Xianggong, and the concubine was bored staying in the capital anyway, so she also went south with some money to see if she could learn to do some small business."

"Sister Mingyue, I'll do it with you too."

"Yes, yes," the two women said, holding hands.

Zheng Lang was very cute, and said for most of the day: "Yue'er, you also lack pension?" ”

is going to faint, one is the Zheng family with an annual income of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and the other is the Fan family who doesn't know how much income there is a year, and they still have to do business?

Yue'er knew that she had said the wrong thing and stuck out her tongue.

But Yue'er is simple after all, not Cui Xian, if Cui Xian is here, you can detect that the drunken woman of the Wuyi family does not mean wine, but in the landscape. I don't know what ecstasy I poured into Yue'er, and Sister Mingyue shouted out.

Zheng Lang pretended to be deaf and dumb and asked, "I didn't move the lady." ”

"I didn't move the moon."

“……”

A simple answer made Yue'er faintly feel that something was wrong, but she believed in her husband, and although Wu Yi's family was gorgeous, it was impossible for her husband not to know the importance of that identity. So I didn't think about it any way.

Zheng Lang took a breath and said, "Do you really want to do business?" ”

I don't call you for not moving the moon, nor do I call you for not moving the lady, it's done.

"yes."

"Really do business, the south is not for you."

"Why?"

Zheng Lang patiently explained.

The two Guangxi are now lacking in everything, including technology, good officials, education. Civilization, the most important lack of businessmen. Although businessmen pursue profits, which is hated, it is the most important way to revitalize the regional economy because of the trafficking of businessmen.

In fact, there are many distinctive local specialties in Liangguang. Some products are no less than the brand-name products of the Central Plains, first, they are not organized to form a group effect, and second, the practice of some departments barbarically plundering past customers, the road is not prosperous, and some overly exaggerated horror legends discourage businessmen.

If it is solved, there will be huge business opportunities, after all, there are more than 4 million people in Liangguang. Most of them are in a closed environment, in the whole of Liangguang, the land is vast and sparsely populated, accounting for more than one-sixth of the area of the Song Dynasty (at this time, the Liangguang Road includes part of Vietnam, Guizhou and Yunnan, accounting for at least one-sixth), but the population is less than one-twentieth. However, most of the area is not prosperous, and even if it does, it exceeds the population of Kaifeng, which is the total population of Hangzhou, Suzhou, Runzhou, Huzhou, and Jiangning. And with such a large area. How much is there?

This is one of them.

The second is tea. The grain planting industry in Guangxi and Guangxi is backward, and the tea planting industry is also backward. Tea was even transported from inland areas to Liangguang, and in fact, many areas in later generations were excellent tea plantations, such as the hilly area around Lingchuan in Guizhou, where the barren mountainous areas inhabited by the She barbarians at this time. At this time, the barbarians slash and burn, burning mountain by mountain, burning a few mountains and planting a few mountains, and then going down a few mountains next year. I don't know the rarity of the forest, I don't know how precious it will be if such an area of land is in Fujian Road and Jiangdong Road. Just give a few small gifts to the local barbarians, and you can get them to acquiesce to the cultivation of crops, timber, fruit trees, and tea on these hills. The big families made money, which in turn improved the living conditions of the barbarians. But we must not use tough means, and we must not have a fierce conflict with the barbarians for some small money, which is very troublesome. …,

These words are exactly what Zheng Lang wants to say to many southbound businessmen.

It won't take long, once it comes to the next year, when the formal planning is made, the tax will be standardized, and the light will be reduced. It is impossible to re-enlist, and I don't dare.

In addition, the area is huge, as long as you have good dealings with the barbarians, and with the cooperation of the government, there are also huge business opportunities.

The third is sucrose.

After coming to Guizhou, Zheng Lang ordered the best sugar cane to be transferred from Panyu and invited craftsmen to come over to make sugar, which was worse than he imagined. Indeed, although the rumors are excessive, it may be due to improper planting, or the cane seeds have not evolved and improved, and the sugar produced is not as good as Sichuan and Liangzhejiang sugar, and even Jiangdong sugar. However, it is not useless, and it is still profitable because of the high yield. There is a sentence that Zheng Lang did not say, in his memory, Liangguang cane is the mainstream of China in the future, what Suining cane, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cane, compared with it, are all floating clouds, which can only be chewed as snacks. As long as you improve cane planting and planting methods, the simplest point, if you want sugarcane sweetness, the most important thing is to apply cake fertilizer.

No one put manure into the crops, and there is cake fertilizer?

Only then can there be real room for development. Therefore, some merchants were encouraged to grow sugar cane here, and two sugar cane supervisors would be set up, one in Guangzhou and one in Guizhou.

Sucrose Supervision is a joint development, what does it have to do with Wuyi's?

The rest of the business has to go deep into the barbarian tribes, why didn't a weak woman go to the clan? Besides, he didn't move and didn't have much experience in business, maybe he took advantage of the border situation to do some smuggling business with the Song Dynasty, but it was in the northwest, not in the south.

The powerful, the powerful are expensive, and the mountains that have not been moved are considered to be powerful, but this magnate is very embarrassed, how many people really admit that the mountains are powerful? Maybe one day they will grow up to be a real power. After all, he will be a good signboard for the imperial court to deal with Western Xia, but it will take time to precipitate, not now.

Either Zheng Lang ignored the world's condemnation and forcibly supported ......

Another point is also okay, there will be many measures similar to Jiangdongwei in the future, so Zheng Lang was very happy to hear that the imperial court asked Tian Yu to arrive, not only there are many water conservancy projects, but also the expansion of the Ling Canal, and there is an urgent need for officials who understand water conservancy to come to Liangguang to assist him.

But this piece of Zheng Lang does not intend to be handed over to various businessmen and big households, since ancient times. The Chinese are full of desire for land, and once they let go, they use their wealth and connections to annex them on a large scale, and the two cantons will cause them great trouble.

Zheng Lang would welcome the family's interest in Liangguang, which accounts for one-sixth of its area and has less than one-twentieth of its population. If Guangzhou is removed, the tax may be less than one-fiftieth, but the state needs to spend a lot of money a year to envelop the barbarians, which is why the imperial court is not interested.

Lao Tzu said that the cup is easy to hold when it is empty, but when the cup is full, it will be surplus. The more this is the case. If you have the ability, you can compose the picture better, so Zheng Lang was happy when he first came out of Taipingzhou, but he was worried about Zhongzhong after arriving in Hangzhou.

Liangguang is like a huge cup, and now it has only a little stuff to contain, although these things are some headache things, as long as they are handled properly, there is a lot of space to hold things. Today's investment in Liangguang will surely have a tenfold and hundredfold return.

But it's not suitable for the Wuyi clan to preside.

Zheng Lang dissected the intermediate truth in one breath. Wu Yi said with a smile: "Zheng Xianggong, don't worry, the concubine deliberately brought some helpers over, and really let the concubine go to those barbarian tribes......"

Wu Yi covered his mouth with his hand and made a little girl's scared expression.

Zheng Lang was speechless, and said to Yue'er: "Go in and boil another pot of water for me." ”

Dividing Yue'er, Zheng Lang said in a low voice: "Tomorrow at noon, Yao Temple on the west slope of Yao Mountain in the northeast of the city." ”

"Zheng Xianggong, what are you doing...... Sneaky ......" did another exaggerated shy gesture. …,

“……”

The next day. Zheng Lang came a little late. One case was dealt with in the morning. There is a family surnamed Zhang on the outskirts of Luorong, and the family background is also okay. has two daughters and two sons, his parents committed the fault of Zheng Zhuanggong's mother, they like the young and hate the growth, the eldest son is older, and he does a heavy life at home every day, but his parents beat him at every turn, and he couldn't help but say a sentence, and as a result, his parents tied up and discounted one leg. It was a kind neighbor who rescued him and sent him to the house of a relative surnamed Liu who made tofu in the city.

The life is big, he actually lived, but his legs were a little lame, but he worked diligently, the Liu family only had a daughter, no son, so he was adopted as an adopted son, and gradually the daughter grew up, although a little lame, but honest, not ugly, the two old men of the Liu family were in charge, and married the little lady of the Liu family to the son of the Zhang family.

Mrs. Liu is not evil, the husband and wife are very affectionate, and their small life is prosperous.

Originally, there was nothing to do, but on the other side, the habitual son was not good, and the fertile field raised barnyard rice. The youngest son has also grown up, he has done all kinds of evil, and the family property is about to be ruined, so he went to trouble the two sisters, and the two brothers-in-law were not easy to mess with, so they ignored them, ate a few closed doors, scolded and broke off the relationship. Later, I heard that the eldest brother was doing well, so he brought a few scoundrels to the door to look for trouble.

There are also people in the Liu family who beat a few children away, and the young son of the Zhang family suffered, but the Zhang family was soft-hearted and pleaded, otherwise he would have been beaten down at that time. Like the policy of the Song Dynasty, a soft heart is a bad thing. Seeing that the eldest brother was honest, the young son of the Zhang family went home to bewitch his parents to make trouble, we Laozi, you have a chance, you have to feed us.

Crying and making trouble, Zhang's family had no choice, so they brought the baby parents home, made a mess, and secretly moved his property to the old child's house. Liu Xiaoniang couldn't stand it, so she asked her husband to kick out the pair of babies, asking them to have no me, and I wanted me to have no them. That's it, the boss of the Zhang family didn't let his parents go, and tried hard to persuade him. However, this baby took this opportunity to sue the young couple to the county order.

The county order is a confused county order, only knowing that filial piety comes first, regardless of 3721, the young couple was flogged a hundred times, and after the flogging was completed, they were escorted to the streets, wanting the people not to learn from them. Angry with this, the little lady of the Liu family was furious and hanged herself. As soon as his wife died, Zhang's son also committed suicide. Before he gave up, the young son of the Zhang family borrowed the name of the eldest brother of the Liu family's original property, and forcibly drove out the old couple of the Liu family and a nephew and occupied the property.

The county order is a confused county order, and for ordinary people, there is no way to sue for this injustice, but I don't know where to hear some of Zheng Lang's deeds, the old couple held a small child and came to Guizhou from Liuzhou to cry out for injustice.

Zheng Lang doesn't think it's strange, the world is big, there are no surprises, what kind of people have it, what kind of parents also have it, such as Xiao Yunjin. What should I do if I get such a parent?

Send someone down to investigate, and that's what happened.

Therefore, a judgment was made that the Zhang family returned the Liu family's property. The young son of the Zhang family was exiled to Shamen Island, and the killing was too heavy, but it was also a very heavy execution, it was not suitable for northerners to go south, and it was also inappropriate for southerners to go north. The old couple of the Zhang family weighed a hundred rods. as a warning. Luo Rongzhi County fined 100 catties of copper, not only this punishment, but also to seize his office, but it must be reported to Zhongshu Province for approval. Although it is powerful, it is also necessary to be careful if it is abused. It will cause dissatisfaction among some people in the court.

Zheng Lang also wrote a memora based on this matter, although this matter is small, it has a strong reference effect. At home is the head of the family, and in the country is the king of a country. The lord is virtuous, the grace and power are used, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so that the people and ministers can advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the country can be governed. If the lord is mediocre, the grace is reversed. If the rewards and punishments are not clear, the country will inevitably be chaotic. It is not two lives, but the death of the country. …,

That is, the opposition between kindness and filial piety, the opposition between benevolence and loyalty, and the opposition between giving and giving. But this mercy is not doting. Benevolence is the benevolence of a woman. Giving is not over-giving.

Zhao Zhen is a little better, but he is more or less guilty of soft drowning.

Taken care of. Only then did I come to Yaoshan.

This is a famous scenic spot in Guilin in later generations, but at this time it is sparsely populated and rarely inhabited. Spring is in the depths of spring, and the rhododendrons are blooming all over the mountain, and looking into the distance, the white clouds are curling and wafting in the mountains, and the scenery is very charming.

Halfway up the mountain, I saw the Wu Yi clan standing in front of a clump of green bamboos. I also know Zheng Lang's dilemma, seeing Zheng Lang coming, he didn't speak, and walked forward, which means come with the concubine, as well as your guards, you can solve it yourself.

Zheng Lang wanted to shake his head.

He took the guards into the Yao Temple, said a few words to a few big monks, and asked Zheng Su and a few people to stay, saying, "Let me take a look at the mountains quietly alone." ”

After the Yao Temple, there are few people on it, and Guizhou is not like other regions, there are many Han people, and the people are relatively pure, Zheng Su obeyed the order, but still nervously guarded the mountain road.

Like a thief, continue to climb the mountain. Turning a corner, he stood under a bush of camellias. Zheng Lang walked over, no one else was present, Zheng Lang said directly: "You didn't move Mingyue, you are too nonsense." ”

"I don't ask for fame either...... "The Wuyi clan was very aggrieved: "The concubine is like this, it's your ......"

"Yes, don't say it, you haven't moved the bright moon, have you ever thought about how much uproar it will cause once it spreads?"

"So the concubine didn't bother you in the capital, and now you are in Lingnan."

"There are also Beijing officials in Lingnan, fortunately, my student went to Temo Road, otherwise with his old-fashioned conservatism, when he sees you, his ears will be deaf."

"That Sima Saburo?"

"Hmm."

"He's your student, what are you afraid of?"

"The emperor has done something wrong, the minister has to give a strong admonition, and he has to pull the dragon robe, besides, I am a few years older than him, and in his heart, etiquette is far more important than that of me, a teacher."

"What is the reasoning of this?"

"I taught him!"

"He doesn't know the concubine either."

"But there are several women in the world who are as beautiful as you."

Wu Yi laughed happily, and in this smile, his face was radiant, as if a flower had bloomed, and then he stared at the flower and said, "You just need to say it, the concubine knows the proportions." ”

It's okay, I'm smart, steal a few times once in a while, and be more stealthy than you do!

“……”

"These camellias are so beautiful," the smile on the face of the Wu Yi clan was even better, and the prime minister said that he refused, but he actually did not refuse, so he stared at the flowers and changed the subject.

Zheng Lang also looked at the camellia, he had been here before, but he didn't take a closer look, and sure enough, it was a few beautiful camellias, the flowers were red and bright, and the best thing was that the stamens were all with a touch of purple red, as if they were seriously coated with rouge on the red petals.

Wu Yishi raised his face, with infinite charm, and said, "The concubine calls it charming." ”

It's really like it, this purple red is indeed very much like the charming pink cheeks of a beauty. But compared with these charming camellias, at this time, there is no smile and a feminine meaning, and it is more charming.

Zheng Lang is not Yanashita Hui after all, the beauty is current, and he does not need to be responsible for the consequences, and his fertility is low, let alone worry, his heart suddenly became excited, and he whispered: "You are a beautiful girl." ”

Wu Yi just smiled, his body was brought together, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the fragrance entered Zheng Lang's lungs and spleen, Zheng Lang looked at the quiet surroundings, stretched out his hand, grabbed Wu Yi's soft chest, hugged Wu Yi into his arms, and stretched his hand to the skirt.

Wu Yi's body spun, and he said in a coquettish voice: "Zheng Xianggong, no, the concubine body is not ready, let alone ...... wild."

Then he giggled and climbed to the top of the mountain.

Zheng Lang was full of lust and was about to collapse.
