Zhulan pulled some candlesticks closer, Zhou Shuren brought back a detailed map of the area near Lizhou City, Zhulan first looked at the river, people's lives are inseparable from the water source, she is more concerned about the water source, especially if there is a drought, the water is more important.

Zhulan looked carefully, the water source in Lizhou City was not abundant, and there was only one tributary to support it, "You want to dig a pool?" ”

Even if the reservoir is over, the amount of work is too large, and there is no cement to build a dam, and the technology is not up to par and it is easy to cause disasters, but it is still a pond, and the pond is more secure.

Zhou Shuren pointed to a few places with his fingertips, "Smart, I have looked at the distribution of counties and towns in Lizhou, it is not difficult to dig some ponds, I am afraid that after the war, it will be a natural disaster, and it can be regarded as a precautionary measure, if there is no natural disaster, these ponds can be contracted out to raise fish is also some income, and there is really a drought can also alleviate some of the situation." ”

Zhulan's heart was mentioned, there has been no drought in these years, she is really afraid of drought, this is not modern artificial rainfall, the use of science and technology to divert water, in ancient times, it all depends on God, "Phew, phew, good spirits are bad spirits." ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Good spirit." ”

Zhulan felt a little more steady, and continued to look at the map, "You still want to build roads." ”

Zhou Shuren nodded, "You have also experienced how difficult the road is to walk all the way, and it just so happens that now there is enough manpower, and using manpower for food can also build Lizhou by the way." ”

Zhulan frowned, "The amount of labor is large, so there is a lot to eat, and the remaining two batches of grain are not enough, and these grains have to be saved for a few months." ”

Zhou Shuren received the map, "So half of the grain and half of the silver money settlement, the people don't have a little money in their hands, they can't do it, they can buy a household with the money in their hands, and the markets everywhere can slowly recover, and the people can only attract merchants if they have demand, and the whole Lizhou can slowly recover its vitality." ”

Zhulan thought about the silver in Zhou Shuren's hand, "Do Tongzhi and Tongju agree, Lizhou is managed by the three of you." ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "This time I brought the silver and got the right from the emperor, plus they really have no choice, I hope it will be entrusted to me, and they will have no objections." ”

Zhulan said: "That's good." ”

As for the intrigue after surviving the difficulties, she didn't worry about Zhou Shuren at all, he burned high incense without counting people.

Zhulan lay down and thought for a while, then turned sideways and said: "In fact, the yamen can buy some chickens for farmers to receive, each household to receive a few, and wait for the chickens to lay eggs after the eggs are returned to the chickens' money, and the piglets can also be raised first, and those who are really not fed can also withdraw the coarse grain from the yamen in advance to feed the pigs, and wait for the pigs to be slaughtered and return the silver money of the piglets and grain, of course, the farmers who can receive it must be of good character, and some of the lazy ones are even if they are lazy, and they must sign a guarantee when they receive it, except for force majeure factors, other situations are responsible. ”

Zhou Shuren's eyes lit up, "This method is good, the farmers have an extra income, and they can also repay the Yamen's money, and the Yamen can also have extra money to do other things." ”

Zhulan smiled, "Aren't I going to buy apple trees?" You can also buy some fruit trees with good taste and come back, collect them door to door, one or two for a family, and when the apples come down, you can buy them with some fruit merchants, which is also additional income. ”

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "I think you want to build Lizhou City into the hometown of apples!" ”

Zhulan smiled, "Yes, there are many apples in Sichuanzhou, but there is no loud name, once Lizhou Chengcheng becomes the hometown of apples, there will be many fruit merchants in the future, and it can also drive some local economies, how much better?" ”

Zhou Shuren kissed Zhulan's forehead, "You've helped me a lot." ”

He knows how to govern, slowly solve the current problem, and still have to rely on Zhulan to find a way to generate income for farmers, to put it bluntly, the Meng Juren he brought can only help him in political affairs, and the economy still needs Zhulan.

Zhulan bent her eyes, "I haven't asked you yet, I remember you said that the Zhizhou of Zhili Prefecture and the Tongzhi of Zhili Prefecture have the same rights, and the Tongzhi level of Zhili Prefecture is also like the prefect, and now the Tongzhi of Lizhou City lives behind the Yamen, didn't you say anything else when you came?" ”

Zhou Shuren, "With the emperor's attention and Wuchun's relationship, Tongzhi naturally said, I mentioned to me when I was leaving, he could move out, I refused, I said that I had bought a house, and his grade was higher than mine, although the right to the same does not look at the grade, but in the end, he came before me, so it is reasonable that he should not move out." ”

Zhulan hooked the corners of her mouth, "If you don't have the right to use money on the road, and if you don't have Wu Chun, the eldest nephew, Chen Chen, a fellow acquaintance, won't mention this stubble at all." ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Yes, they know that the new Zhizhou is a new science list, they don't know how troublesome they are, this time they are relieved to see me, in the final analysis, the emperor is still powerful, Chen Chen is also the one who restricts me." ”

Zhulan stretched her waist, "Fortunately, there is no regulation in this dynasty that transferred officials are not allowed to buy houses and buy family property while in office, although it is only allowed to buy one house, no more than four shops, and no more than two hundred acres of land, I am already very content." ”

Although there are a lot of black-box operations, you can record the shop live land on the entourage, relatives and others, and there are many people who do this in Pingzhou City, but Zhulan doesn't plan to do this, she would rather go to other state cities to invest.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren chatted for a while, this time both of them were sleepy, Zhulan fell asleep first in a daze, Zhou Shuren went over what Zhulan said again in his heart, and made sure that he would not forget it before he hugged Zhulan to sleep.

Early the next morning, sleeping on the hot kang, Zhulan hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, opened her eyes, and Zhou Shuren put it on, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Zhou Shuren really felt a little uncomfortable at work, he used to sleep at home until he woke up naturally, yawning, "There are a lot of things waiting for me in the yamen, there were many people waiting to receive food at the gate of the yamen yesterday, and I am going to the yamen now." ”

Zhulan put on her shoes and went to the ground, "You don't eat breakfast anymore?" ”

She didn't have to guess to know that she must not have time to eat when she was busy today, could she be hungry for a day? How old is Zhou Shuren, his body can't be tossed like this.

Zhou Shuren actually got up a little late, if he got up earlier, he would have been able to eat, but he wouldn't tell Zhulan that he didn't get up, "I won't eat breakfast, kill a chicken and make a few dishes at lunch and send them to the yamen, which can be regarded as I invite a few people to have a meal." ”

Zhulan went out with her clothes on, "Don't skip breakfast, there are still a few cornmeal steamed buns left yesterday, I'll cut some sausages and you can eat them in the carriage." ”

With that, Zhulan went out, the apricot blossoms in the kitchen were burning the fire, Zhulan took two cornmeal steamed buns and a sausage and picked them up, and went back to the yard to stuff them to Zhou Shuren, "You must have eaten breakfast." ”

Zhou Shuren's heart was warm, or his daughter-in-law hurt herself the most, "I must have eaten it all." ”

After Zhulan sent Zhou Shuren away to wash, breakfast was ready, yesterday's meal was too clean, the rice porridge and cakes boiled for breakfast, there was not a single egg at home, and Li cut some sausages and cabbage soup together.

After breakfast, the Yang family rested for a night, and their spirits eased up a little, and Zhulan took Xue Han to personally send her father and mother to the Wuchun house.

The courtyard of Wu Chun's house is indeed as big as written in his letter, because Zhulan has a lot of things to do, and seeing that her father and mother are settled, Zhulan took her daughter home.

The Zhou family is missing the Yang family, and the whole house is very empty, and there is no one walking around.

Zhulan was silent, she still had to buy more people to come back, and said to Xue Han: "You go and call your eldest brother and let him go to the tooth store to find the tooth." ”

Xue Han, "Mother, aren't you going in person?" ”

Zhulan nodded at the tip of her daughter's nose, "Silly girl, my mother is the wife of an official family, and it's not good to go to your teeth in person after her identity has changed, so go and call your eldest brother." ”
