The two children were very shy to Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong, Taishi Zhaorong fell in love with these two children at first sight, and turned out the charm of two Youzhou snow fox ears from the package, plus one of the headdresses, one of them gave one as a meeting gift, and the two girls were very happy.

Everyone sat down to drink tea and rest again, the two women and girls got together and laughed in a low voice, Fang Zhiwen continued to talk with Mr. Qiao about the topic that he had not finished talking about just now, and Fang Zhiwen really wanted to know how the local wealthy families thought about the new policy that was about to be implemented.

"I'm really embarrassed to let Brother Fang break the bill as soon as we meet1

"That's it, it's just a small gift, you two children are really wonderful, envy of others.1

"What's the use, you will have to marry out in the future, and you won't even have a pensioner when you get old."

Mr. Qiao said in a low voice, obviously not wanting to be heard by his wife and daughter.

"Hehe, who stipulated that daughters can't support their old age? In Youzhou, girls can go to school and enter the office, your two daughters are so good, I am afraid it will not be difficult to recruit a son-in-law in the future. ”

"I don't want to think about that, as long as they can marry a good family, parents, what do you want to do1

"Well, isn't it?"

Mr. Qiao looked at his two baby daughters with a look of relief, and then looked frustrated: "It's just that I'm incompetent as a father, Brother Fang, you understand now, if the new policy is implemented, my family will not be able to live, it really can't work, I have to cross the river and go north, or go to Jingzhou to find a way to live." ”

"Huh. Jiangbei will not talk about it, and soon after, Jiangbei will inevitably be in turmoil. Or does Mr. Qiao think that he can survive in Jingzhou? ”

"Will there be chaos in Jiangbei? Could it be that the elder brother is saying that Youzhou intends to attack Jianghuai? ”

"It's hard to say, but Cao Cao won't sit back and watch himself surrounded by groups and cut off from business, right?"

"That's right, then you can only go to Jingzhou."

"Oh? Mr. Qiao feels that he can't go down here, can he survive in Jingzhou? Why is that? ”

"Isn't that easy? I can't afford to farm here, but I can hire people when I get to Jingzhou.1

"Then Mr. Qiao is wrong, Jingzhou is widely cultivated, and Liu Bei is still advocating reclamation, and the price of hiring farmers is even higher than that of Youzhou, and Mr. Qiao, you are not familiar with the land. It is obviously not very convincing to be better in Jingzhou than it is now1

"So, how is that good?"

"What's so difficult about this, if Mr. Qiao is not good at management. You can try to be an official. Now Lord Zhu Zhi is recruiting talents, and with Mr. Qiao's knowledge, he will be hired with energy. If Mr. Qiao thinks that he can't do it, he can also be a teacher, no matter how bad it is, he will buy shares in the land and cooperate with others to cultivate it, there will always be a family with rich labor, right? ”

"Is this okay?"

"I met a friend in Youzhou. She is an orphan and widow, a woman with two children. The eldest was twelve years old, the youngest was only three or four years old, and the three of them had sixty acres of land, and there was no way to cultivate it at all. So she cooperated with people on the land, and could collect about 100 stone of grain a year, barely enough for her daily chewing, she had her own tailoring skills, and she could still raise two children strong and strong, and the eldest child was still going to school in Xilin School Palace. An orphan and widow who is still able to support herself, I really don't see what Mr. Qiao has to worry about. ”

Mr. Qiao thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that there was really no way to refute the facts that Fang Zhiwen said, and looked at his wife and daughter, could it be that he also let them work hard for their livelihood.

Fang Zhiwen saw Mr. Qiao's eyes, and immediately understood what he was thinking: "Mr. Qiao, I won't tell you, when it comes to business, I am far inferior to my wife, so the family's business is managed by her, don't underestimate women, since it is a family matter, you might as well discuss it with Mrs. Zun, it's not a good idea to leave your hometown in a hurry." ”

Mr. Qiao looked at Fang Zhiwen in surprise, and when he saw Fang Zhiwen's calm face, he couldn't help but admire him.

"What Brother Fang said is reasonable, and he will consider it carefully."

"Hehe, you're welcome. If Mr. Qiao needs help even if he comes to Moling to find me, I will live in Moling during this time, and if Mr. Qiao wants to go out, I can also help a little. ”

"Thank you so much, Brother Fang, I will definitely visit another day, it's rare to see each other today, why don't you go to the house and taste the turbid wine brewed in the next place?"

Fang Zhiwen glanced at Taishi Zhaorong, Taishi Zhaorong smiled and bowed slightly, and Fang Zhiwen replied, "Then bother." ”

"Brother Fang is a distinguished guest, and it is an honor to be here, hehe."

Mr. Qiao smiled happily, he clearly saw the exchange between Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong, sure enough, Fang Zhiwen respected Mrs. very much, it seems that what Fang Zhiwen said just now should be true, I really can't see that this Mrs. Fang is still a shopping mall girl!

Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong had dinner at Mr. Qiao's house before returning to Moling, and it was naturally not a problem to travel at night with Fang Zhiwen, and Huang Xu had already led troops to the vicinity to meet them, and by the way, they were trained as a night march.

Early the next morning, Taishi Zhaorong took Tian Zhishen mysteriously and didn't know where to slip away, Fang Zhiwen recruited Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong, and exchanged opinions with the two of them on what they had seen and heard in the market in the past few days.

Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong were both in awe, as a superior person, they could listen carefully to the voices of the bottom, and could really stand on the position of the locals to measure and consider, this approach made Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong feel a little ashamed, at least, they only paid attention to the elite groups of the clans, scholars and merchants, and never thought about the ideas of those small farmers and hired laborers.

"I thought about it, the impact of Youzhou's policy on large households, especially large commercial households, is undoubtedly beneficial, because they have capital in their hands, can organize large-scale production and trade, and can also rent land on a large scale, Youzhou's policy and stable environment are also beneficial to large households, and they should be relatively easy to accept this policy."

Zhu Zhi nodded slowly: "What the lord said is very true, these days, the results of the communication between his subordinates and the big households in Jiangdong have also confirmed the lord's speculation, although they were worried at the beginning, but after careful understanding, they have sent people to Youzhou for field investigations, I believe that after they see it with their own eyes, they will definitely agree with Youzhou's policy." ”

"Yes, the restriction and protection of capital in Youzhou's policy are integrated, so in the long run, long-term stable interests are more attractive than short-term windfall profits. There is also the education and bureaucratic system in Youzhou, which are all places that attract elites. On the contrary, the ordinary rich peasant peasants, as well as the hired peasants, as mentioned by the lord, may face greater pressure. Farmers and rich peasants were worried about the rising costs of hired peasants, which would ultimately affect their interests, because they did not understand the policies, worried that the government would not be able to effectively deliver on their promises, and that they would tolerate risks, and so on. ”

"That's right, people have peace of mind, those who are brave enough to take risks are often a minority, of course, they are also a very important minority, and we naturally have to fight for this part first, but the stability of the entire territory depends on the majority who are content with the status quo, so our policy would rather be more stable and slower, and we must find a way to make these people with the largest population understand our policy."

"Lord, I think we can start with the distribution of land, distribute the land that originally belonged to the government, as well as the confiscated and redeemed land, as soon as possible, and then increase the redemption of the land of the big clans, and let the rich landlords and so on first."

Zhu Zhi squinted his narrow eyes and said slowly while thinking, and Gu Yong immediately added: "Also, we must allocate enough farming cattle, seeds, and farming tools to lease to farmers, so that they can start production as soon as possible." ”

"That's right, it's not just about dividing the land, it's about allowing these new farmers to benefit from the land, and the rest will be easy."

Fang Zhiwen heard the opinions of the two, nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Then, I propose to extend the adaptation period to two years, and only after two years will the land policy of Youzhou be officially compulsorily promoted, and the free circulation of land will be frozen at this stage, but the current land will be allowed to be kept, of course, voluntary sales to the government can obtain some benefits, such as tax reductions and the like." ”

"Let's calculate carefully for this and other subordinates, after all, we don't want Jiangdong to have Youzhou relief, and we will be despised when we go back to Miyun for a meeting."

Gu Yong said with a smile, Fang Zhiwen nodded: "Hehe, too, but I'm not worried about this, Junli and Yuan Si are both good at government affairs, and Jiangnan is a fertile land with water and soil." ”

"The lord praised it falsely, and his subordinates will not disappoint the lord, and please worry about the military more, but the subordinates are not even busy with government affairs now."

"Don't worry, Han Sheng and the others will arrive in a few days, there is no problem in the military, I think it is good for Xu Sheng, the deputy commander of your navy, to promote him to the captain of the navy."

"The subordinate Dai Wen thanked the lord 1

"No thanks, this is a measure of talent, his ability is won for himself, you tell him, I hope he will be the commander of the Seventh Fleet in the future1

"No1

"Oh, by the way, it seems that the Sun family's ship will arrive tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, Miss Sun Shangxiang and her aunt, and a hundred servants, does the lord want to meet her?"

"No, but Zhao Rong wants to meet her, and Xiangxiang will also come here, so I should be able to arrive tonight, so let Xu Sheng stay in Moling for a day."

"Yes1

Taishi Zhaorong didn't show up at noon, and Taishi Zhaorong didn't come back until the afternoon, and reported her whereabouts to Fang Zhiwen with a mysterious smile.

It turned out that she invited the Qiao sisters to play today, and she was half a master to entertain the three of them, during which she talked about the Xilin School Palace in Miyun, and the eldest lady Sun Shangxiang who was about to go north to Miyun to study, and the Qiao sisters were also extremely envious, so Taishi Zhaorong left Qiao's mother and daughter behind, preparing to meet Sun Shangxiang together tomorrow.

Fang Zhiwen won't object, but he thinks it's very strange, what kind of scene will the original sister-in-law meet in history? Will this Qiao sister still become the beloved wives of Youhu and Zhou Lang? To be continued...
