The old donkey's small courtyard was very small, with only two houses arranged in an inverted L-shape, and the one on the side had a chimney, which was undoubtedly the kitchen; The larger one at the back is the bedroom and living room. The door of the house at the back is not closed, and you can see the living room at a glance. It is said that it is the living room, but in fact, there are a lot of split bamboo pieces in it, and it seems that the old donkey head was still making zuò oil cloth umbrellas before they came. Twenty or thirty people poured into the small courtyard at once, and it suddenly became crowded.

Geng Jingzhong walked into the living room of the old donkey's head, didn't care about the bamboo pieces on the ground at all, and walked over from the side. In the room, a small door curtain separated the living room from the bedroom, and Geng Jingzhong couldn't help but lift the curtain and look inside the bedroom. It was rude to say that he was doing this, and it was very rude to watch or enter someone else's bedroom without the owner's permission. But just this look made Geng Jingzhong know the living conditions of the old donkey thoroughly, and there was not even a decent piece of furniture in the whole room, a bed, a small cabinet, and nothing else.

Poor, this is the first word that Geng Jingzhong thought of, and then what is washed like poverty, the four walls of the family and so on came to mind. As a high-ranking person, he seems to have experienced a little bit of the feeling of future generations of national leaders inspecting poor areas at this moment. At this moment, the guard came over and whispered in his ear that the old donkey's rice tank was out of rice, and after hearing this, Geng Jingzhong's mood became even more complicated.

The old donkey's head followed the son of the world in front of him, and as soon as he entered the hall, he immediately moved out a chair and asked Geng Jingzhong to sit down. This chair was the only one in the living room, along with three small stools. His wife didn't stop and went straight into the bedroom.

Geng Jingzhong did not sit down, but took a small stool from the side and sat down, and said to the old donkey: "Old man, you sit too!" ”

The old donkey head was still a little restrained, as if this was not his house, but a public court, and only slowly sat down after Geng Jingzhong made a few gestures for him to sit down.

Geng Jingzhong saw him sit down, and then pointed to the bamboo in the courtyard that was blocked by everyone and asked, "Do the old people usually make zuò umbrellas for a living?" How's the business? ”

When the old donkey heard Shizi's question, he immediately wanted to stand up again, but was stopped by Geng Jingzhong. Then he replied: "Back to the world, these umbrellas are not all made by grass people, and the old woman of the family is also making zuò at home during the day." The grass people go out to sell umbrellas every day, and only come back in the evening to make zuò. The business is just so-so, barely making ends meet! ”

"Oh, I smell the smell of medicine in this yard, is it from your house or from next door?" Geng Jingzhong said, and couldn't help twitching his nose twice.

"Oh, it's the old Wang family next door, his wife is not in good health and has to take medicine all the time, but it's all old problems and it doesn't matter, his eldest son is a soldier in your army, it seems to be from some kind of Kuizi battalion. His family's life is the best in our area! The old donkey shook his head after speaking, still a little envious.

"Oh. That's right, it seems that the old man is in good health. It's just that the old man can't enjoy his old age at such an old age, and it's a dereliction of duty on our part as those in power. By the way, the old man makes umbrellas, I wonder if those beautiful umbrellas will be made? ”

"Back to the world, the umbrella is made the same, the umbrella is just more delicate, and the grass people will do it. It's just that the grass people don't know how to draw pictures on the umbrella surface, and the common people think it's strong, so they only make oilcloth umbrellas. ”

"It's okay, so I will let people contact you when I go back, gather the umbrella craftsmen in Fuzhou City to make umbrellas and paint umbrellas together, and then sell them together, I will pay you, and you will only be responsible for making zuò!" Geng Jingzhong suddenly thought of this good idea, not only umbrellas, but other things can also be produced by crowds to form industrial clusters. I'm such a genius that I have to praise myself.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" When the old donkey heard this, he knelt down directly. What is the salary of the craftsmen in all Geng Jingzhong's workshops, it is estimated that everyone in Fujian knows it. If you can do things for the world, then you will definitely have security in life, and the old donkey is really happy at this moment.

"Hey, don't kneel, get up quickly." Geng Jingzhong saw him kneel down again, and he was really troubled by these bad habits.

The old donkey heard Geng Jingzhong's words and quickly stood up, and at this time Geng Jingzhong was no longer sitting, he stood up and shouted outside: "Bring things in!" ”

A few of the men carried their things into the house, and when they put them down, they took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, and then withdrew. Geng Jingzhong pointed to these things and said, "I didn't notice that your life was so difficult before, but I only found out after listening to the reports of my subordinates. It's almost the New Year, so it's better to send you some rice, flour, grain, oil and a little meat to have a good New Year. You'll use the coin to buy something you need. Don't send too much! ”

The old donkey's head was completely stunned and completely blinded. Since ancient times, I have only heard that the government collects taxes and rents, and I have never seen anyone send money and grain in turn. Geng Jingzhong saw the old donkey standing there in a daze, and understood their mood, so he led people out.

After a long time, the old donkey came back to his senses and found that Shizi and the others had left the courtyard. I couldn't help shouting at my wife in the bedroom: "It's amazing, it's amazing!" Come out and see what this is? ”

The old donkey's wife also faintly listened to it inside, and then walked out, saw a few pockets in the hall, and immediately stepped forward to open the bags. One bag is rice, the other is white flour, the jar is filled with oil, and there is a hanging of pork. The old donkey's wife was the same as the old donkey's head, staring blankly at these things. The two couldn't help but burst into tears, and kowtowed to the door again and again.

It took Geng Jingzhong nearly two hours to walk through the poor people in this alley. Every household is similar to the old donkey's family, either the elderly who are lonely or have seriously ill patients, and the family is as poor as ever. Every family received silver coins, rice, flour, grain and oil from the bottom of their hearts.

As for the problem of poverty, it cannot be completely solved under the conditions of such development in later generations, and at this time, Geng Jingzhong can do as much as he can. Geng Jingzhong decided to follow this idea and do it according to this idea, and it is estimated that there will be no problem. Since ancient times, all dynasties have emphasized agriculture-oriented, which is true, but it is not suitable for the Fujian area. There are many mountains and little land, which is the hard wound of Fujian, and there is not so much land for the people to cultivate, so they can only find another way, and it is imperative to develop commerce and trade.

The warmth of Jingnan Wangfu was vigorously launched in various parts of Fujian, and the personnel of the local government and Gongzhufang cooperated with each other to distribute things to the ground. Geng Jingzhong sternly emphasized that when he went down, he must have a good attitude and personally deliver things to the homes of the poor people. At the same time, the details of those families who have been impoverished by natural disasters or sudden accidents; People who have special difficulties in life due to illness and other reasons are recorded, and orphans and lonely elderly people should pay close attention.

In a few days, the poor people all over Fujian erected a tablet of longevity in their homes, and invariably wrote the tablet of the benefactor King Jingnan and the son of the world, praying for the benefactor to live a long life. Geng Jingzhong's generosity has won the praise of the people of Fujian. Jingnan Palace's palace once again penetrated into the hearts of the people, and this warmth activity also added a lot of joy to this New Year. In the past year or so, under the guidance of Geng Jingzhong, tremendous changes have taken place in various parts of Fujian. Unconsciously, the officials in various places are much more honest and kind, and they no longer oppress the people as before. Poor children everywhere no longer run around all day, but have gone to schools to read and write. Merchants everywhere no longer worry about their goods being robbed by bandits on the road. The common people saw this qiē in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and the people everywhere were proud to be able to work for the world. To put it bluntly, at this time, the Jingnan Mansion in Fuzhou City is the holy place in the hearts of the people.

This is another New Year, and Ah Hou, who is far away in the capital, sent letters from Geng Jingzhong's two younger brothers, and also brought the latest information about the capital. During the festive season, although the palace is full of joy, at the same time, the king and his wife of Jingnan will miss their son who is far away in the capital even more. The last time Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, was born, Geng Jingzhong, as a son, found that his father's interest was not high, and his mother also mentioned the two younger brothers.

For his two younger brothers, Geng Zhaozhong and Geng Juzhong, he also misses him a little. Although I haven't met him until now, the image that remains in my memory is real. For this reason, after Geng Jingzhong finished the matter at hand, he stayed in the palace every day to accompany his family.

This year's New Year is bound to be more lively than last year's, if nothing else, just because two days ago, it was found out that she had a child in her belly, which made the whole house happy. Last year, the second brother Geng Zhaozhong had a daughter, and Geng Jingzhong and Yu Xi have been married for almost three years and have not had a child. This made Jingnan Wang and his wife very anxious, and thought that Geng Jingzhong or Huan Xi had a physical problem. Now it's good, the palace will have a successor, and Geng Jingzhong rewarded everyone in the palace under great joy.

In this day and age, every woman desires to have a child right after marriage, preferably a boy. Even in modern times, more than 300 years later, in most places, having children is still a top priority for newlyweds. Han Xi and Geng Jingzhong have been married for more than three years and have not come out, and they are also anxious and sad in their hearts. Geng Jingzhong, who came through the time, was not too anxious about having a child, he was only twenty-two years old at this time, and he was still in college in the later life, so it felt early to have a child at this time. When he found out that Huan Xi knew that she was pregnant, he cried with joy, and he realized that this was no longer modern. The originally depressed mood of the Jingnan Wang couple was also swept away by Huanxi's pregnancy, and the whole family began to revolve around Huanxi.
