Chapter 33

Yu Mingzhu just smiled after hearing this.

"Husband is that kind of person."

How could she not believe that after Gu Huaiming reconciled with her, he caught up with Xinjun to open Enke.

He took the Jinshi exam, the first in the general examination, the first in the palace examination, and became the champion of the world in one fell swoop.

Later, he became the first assistant of the beam step by step, and supported the building to fall in the future with his own strength.

Yu Mingzhu changed Gu Huaiming's clothes, Gu Huaiming's recuperation days, there were a lot of big things happening outside, first Governor Han issued a decree, urging the major cotton merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to hire a certain number of homeless people as weavers, and the imperial court paid for subsidies, and then recruited a group of homeless people to build the Yangtze River branch dam.

These measures were indeed a good thing to appease the displaced people, but there was a very big problem: the financial power of the governor's office in the newly established place was not clear, and although there was an allocation from the imperial court, there was not enough food.

Therefore, in the name of the ordinary southeast coast, the governor of Han brought a lot of autumn winds from various maritime merchants.

Money is not a problem, but there is not enough food, and if Governor Han wants to feed the displaced people in his territory, I am afraid that he will have to start from the Yu family and the salt merchant giants.

When Governor Han arrived at Yu's house in the afternoon, the weather happened to be overcast, and Gu Huaiming, Yu Mingzhu and others were in the main hall.

Dye Dong whispered in Yu Mingzhu's ear: "Miss, the people in the outer courtyard said that Governor Han is talking to the master now, and it is estimated that it will take a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, a white-haired little old man walked in quickly, and there were no attendants around him, and a little girl in the front yard followed quickly, obviously not as fast as this old man.

Han Qi said to Gu Huaiming with a straight face: "I told you a long time ago, you should pay more attention to your body, and in the future, you will be an official in the court, but you will not only fight for your brain, if your body is not good, no one will suffer for a long time." ”

Han Qi is right, his old man has survived his political enemies to death by virtue of his life in his last life.

"The teacher is right, the students are taught."

Han Qi walked in front of Gu Huaiming, found a stool and sat down, and Dye Dong hurriedly poured tea.

Han Qi took a sip and said, "Your tea is not bad." ”

Yu Mingzhu gave Dye Xia a look, Dye Xia hurried down, Han Qi drank several sips and put down the tea to look at Yu Mingzhu, he said: "I came to see Huaiming today, and I came to see your grandfather, where is your grandfather?" ”

Yu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Grandfather should be inspecting the various ticket numbers of the Yu family, I didn't know that Mr. came to visit today, it was rude." ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Han Qi's mouth.

"At first glance, I thought that you were a very deferential and gentle little woman, but now you seem to be the same as your grandfather."

Han Qi has always been merciless in dealing with businessmen, and the officials of Daliang are like this, Yu Mingzhu was not angry, she only spoke: "Sir, the concubine heard that the grain harvest in the northwest and southwest this year has failed, although Jiangnan has not been affected, but because the tenant farmers plant cotton on a large scale, the local grain in Jiangnan is barely produced and sold. ”

Han Qi touched his beard and continued, "Go on." ”

"There is no food to adjust in Daliang, and in the northwest and even in Daliang, people will definitely starve to death this winter."

In fact, there are people starving to death every year in Daliang, and the year before last was the worst year, ten households and nine empty households in the northwest borderland, and the bark was gnawed clean.

"I didn't expect you, a merchant girl, to know this, your Yu family has dozens of granaries in Quanzhou Port alone, do you want to watch those people starve to death?"

In his previous life, Gu Huaiming transported Annan Russell's grain to Daliang by sea and sold it to the imperial court at a low price.

It's just that Gu Huaiming did this after he reconciled with Yu Mingzhu.

"The country of Annan, south of Daliang, has a humid climate and is rich in rice, and Russell, the country of large islands east of Annan, is also the land of fish and rice."

Most of the routes often taken by the Yu family's fleet involve the East, the West, and the South Sea, which is rich in silver, and the West likes the porcelain and silk of the girders, which are basically transported from the girders, and rarely are transported to the girders.

"You mean?"

"There's nothing more to say about the concubine, but I heard that many Jiangnan grain merchants have stockpiled grain this year."

Those who can do grain business in Jiangnan not only have access to Jiangnan officialdom, but even the nobles in the capital have interests involved.

Last year, the price of grain in the northwest rose to one stone, one tael and six dollars of silver, which was nearly ten times higher.

Many merchants and officials seized the opportunity and began stockpiling grain during the summer harvest, but now there is a shortage of grain on the market, but it is not available for sale.

Han Qi thought for a moment and then said to Yu Mingzhu: "When your grandfather comes back, you tell him that if you can help the imperial court through this difficulty, there are some things that are not impossible." ”

Yu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Mr. stay for dinner?" ”

"Your Yu family's meals are too luxurious, I eat bran all year round, and I can't get used to it."

Yu Mingzhu continued: "Husband, I have a bad stomach these days, and we eat very lightly. ”

Han Qi found it interesting and asked, "Why do you want to make amends to me?" ”

"Last time, Yanming Lake didn't know the identity of Mr. when I saw it, but it was rude."

Han Qi seemed to be quite satisfied with Yu Mingzhu's expression, and he said with a smile: "You and Huaiming are husband and wife, call my husband a little rusty, and together with Huaiming, just call me teacher." ”

"Yes, Teacher."

After Yu Mingzhu finished speaking, she took all the girls to the kitchen.

After arriving at the kitchen, Yu Mingzhu suddenly had a headache, and she was full of confidence when she spoke, but when she arrived in the kitchen, she was worried.

She didn't know how to cook in her last life and in this life......

In the main hall of Wenlan Academy, Gu Huaiming, who had just been speechless, suddenly said: "Teacher, the secret decree of the Su family, I have thought of a method, but it is a little risky. ”

"Don't change the subject, you kid, you haven't answered my question yet."

Han Qi's thighs were on Erlang's legs, and he looked like an old god.

Gu Huaiming sighed.

"What I decided with Yu Wansan at the beginning was that if he could wish us to bring down the one in the capital, after the Shen family's Gu family recovered, he would be the umbrella of his Yu family, protect his Yu family for a hundred years, and also agreed to leave a man with the blood of the Gu family."

"Isn't that good? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Could it be that you don't like this Yu girl? ”

Gu Huaiming said in a low voice: "If she doesn't leave an heir, she can still remarry." ”

When Gu Huaiming spoke, he inexplicably thought of the tears in the corners of Yu Mingzhu's eyes that night.

I don't know who she thought of at that moment, and she would be so sad.
