Chapter 363: The Lobbyist
After Lu You returned to the academy, Yan Yan was busy again, the summer harvest and summer planting were over, and she had to calculate the income of several Zhuangzi herself, because in addition to grain, there were also fruit trees and some cash crops, such as sesame, mung beans, soybeans, etc.
In addition, Yan Yan wants to open a fireworks and firecracker factory, not to make money, but to research more powerful explosives, although she can't make any nitrocellulose and TNT, but it should still be possible to use the existing conditions to change the formula or something to make more powerful explosives.
No way, she doesn't want war to happen, but once it happens, she can't just sit back and do nothing, right?
After all, she has a husband and children, and such an ungodly backing support, which is something she never dreamed of in her previous life, so she wants to live well, and she doesn't want the tragedy of another time and space to repeat itself in this time and space.
Yan Yan is a person who does what she says, after the plan is done, she specially went to find a place outside the city to buy and build a factory, manpower, she plans to dig a few hands from other factories, she wants the top masters.
I don't know if Yan Yan's movements were too big, which soon alarmed the Lu family and several masters in the palace.
It's just that Yan Yan himself didn't know this, so when Mrs. Lu came to the door, Yan Yan was still a little in the dark.
Mrs. Lu didn't think so far-reaching, she thought that Yan Yan just wanted to open a firecracker factory to make money, because there were more people getting married in the second half of the year, and the amount of firecrackers must be relatively large, not to mention that there was a New Year's Day at the end of the year. (In ancient times, New Year's Day was the Spring Festival)
But the old lady didn't approve of Yan Yan opening this firecracker factory, first, Yan Yan was a woman, how could a woman from a family make such an inferior living? Second, the firecracker workshop is too dangerous, every year I hear that there is an accident, either injured arms or legs or eyes, when these people come to the door to ask for compensation, how can Yan Yan deal with a woman? Third, there were rumors outside that the Lu family had mistreated this concubine and his daughter-in-law, and Yan Yan wanted to gamble with the Lu family, so he did whatever it took to make money.
Therefore, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to bring two maids to the door.
At that time, Yan Yan was watching others cut rice in the gazebo in the back garden, and when he learned that Mrs. Lu came to the door, Yan Yan personally went to the field to pick a watermelon, ordered Qingxiu to hold it, and returned to the upper room.
"Grandmother has something to send someone to order, it's a hot day, don't get the heat on a hot day." Yan Yan said as he ordered someone to take the watermelon and pull it out with well water.
"It's okay for me to come out and walk around, you're older now, and it's even more inconvenient to go out." Old Mrs. Lu first glanced at Yan Yan's stomach, and then stepped forward to take Yan Yan's hand and look at it carefully, because she hadn't seen Yan Yan for more than half a month.
"Fortunately, the child is very well-behaved, I don't think it's too bulky, I don't pick anything to eat, and I sleep honestly." Yan Yan touched his stomach as he spoke, and his face unconsciously had a maternal glow.
To be honest, after the child has fetal movements, she really feels that she is a mother, and there is a life connected with her own flesh and blood in her belly, whether she (he) is male or female, what will she look like, smart or not, healthy or unhealthy, beautiful or not, these are almost the content of Yan Yan's conversation with the child every night before going to bed.
For this reason, Lu You laughed at her for being verbose, but he firmly believed that the child in Yan Yan's belly must be a girl, saying that he dreamed of a girl with pink makeup running towards him and calling him "Daddy", very beautiful and very smart.
So if he is at home, what he says to his children the most every day is that he hopes that his daughter will be obedient and not toss his mother, because he is not by his mother's side, and his mother has nowhere to be coquettish when she is tired, and he has never suffered from gains and losses like Yan Yan.
Not to mention, this kid seems to like to listen to Lu You very much, every time Lu You lies on Yan Yan's stomach and plays with her, she is very happy, always rolling around in her stomach, and when Lu You is not at home, Yan Yan is much quieter when she talks with her.
Seeing Yan Yan touching her stomach, Mrs. Lu also stretched out her hand and touched Yan Yan's stomach, "That's good, I'm still worried that you will have no one to take care of you at home alone, so I specially discussed it with your mother and wanted you to move back in." Child, listen to grandmother, move back, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, and Dalang should come back from vacation today, right? The two of you simply moved back, and simply stayed at home, with us taking care of you, and Da Lang was also at ease. ”
"Grandmother, rest assured, tomorrow we will go back to worship our ancestors, we will go back to live for two days in the Mid-Autumn Festival, as for giving birth, I am still here to be more convenient, the Queen Mother's old man has arranged for me to have a female doctor and a stable wife, they will all live in advance, your old man will rest assured." Besides, my brother and sister are also pregnant, and you still have to take care of her, so I won't make trouble for you. Yan Yan refused with a smile.
"This kid, how can this add to the chaos, you are also the granddaughter-in-law of our Lu family." Old Mrs. Lu took Yan Yan's hand and patted it, pretending to be angry.
"Granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are different, grandmother, I'm not picking, let alone deliberately finding fault, what I'm saying is the truth, I still understand this truth, every family is like this." After Yan Yan finished speaking, he helped the old lady to sit down.
Coincidentally, at this time, Qingxiu came with a plate of good watermelons, with a few toothpicks on them, Yan Yan saw that he hurriedly took a piece and handed it to the old lady, "Grandmother, you taste it, this is our own planting in the garden, it is very sweet, even the Queen Mother has praised it." ”
The old lady took the watermelon, sighed, and stopped continuing the topic, "It's really sweet, you sent someone to send one to the family a few days ago, and your mother praised you." ”
The old lady was not lying, after Zhu tasted the watermelon, he did sigh at her for a long time.
Smart people can do a good job no matter what they do, even if Yan Yan, who has never planted the land, grows things better than others, the potatoes are planted, and the wheat is high-yielding, for this reason, the emperor said in the court again, saying that it is to encourage the people to open up the wasteland and transplant yams, saying that this thing is easy to take care of, and the things that grow in the valleys are not picked up or fat, and the most important thing is that they can satisfy hunger.
By the way, there is also the cotton, which is said to have buds, and if there are no accidents, it should be harvested in two months.
And if this thing is planted successfully, those poor people will not worry about the winter, as soon as the news came out, the entire court was in an uproar, saying that it was not expected that the problem of food and clothing that the Great Zhou Dynasty had been worried about for so many years was actually found a solution by a boudoir woman.
For this reason, Yan Yan has become a popular figure in the capital again.
For this reason, Zhu's heart was unbalanced again.
