The next day, after breakfast, Lin Kangping still took his family to dig lotus root in the garden, Shurui Shuwei went to the school by himself, Ziqing fed Yanran, thinking about the meal to be prepared at noon.

When the Shen family came over in the morning, the garden was still in a mess, and the Shen family saw this and said: "The family is still busy, why are you in a hurry to invite everyone to eat, it will not be too late in a few days, Xiaosi will live at home for two months this time." ”

"Mother, you're here, why are you talking about this? There is just right fresh lotus root and fish. Ziqing welcomed everyone into the garden.

Zishou went to class instead of Zeng Ruixiang, Zeng Ruixiang took Zixi to watch the lotus root digging by the pond, Yang and Fu were also laughing on the side, Shuyu had already gone with a few little crazy, the maid watched, Ziqing pulled Shen into the stove room to arrange meals.

After the meal, Zixi stayed alone.

Ziqing personally made a pot of tea, took Zixi into the study, and as soon as she sat down, Zixi said: "Sister, I think the officials I sent this time are a little strange, the assessment of our group of personnel is actually supervised by the new emperor himself, and the saint also asked me several questions personally, I feel that he seems to know something about me before." Hubu Shangshu is from the Wen family, and he used to be the governor of Liangguang. I just knew, sister, what kind of Wen family actually had an emperor before, the official to the first grade of the university, I heard Wen Shangshu means that the saint has just ascended the throne, and I want to select some talents, this year, officials above the seventh grade will take turns to return to Beijing to be assessed before they can be promoted, so the eldest brother he also has to go back to Beijing, but I don't know when to schedule. ”

"It seems that he has heard of the glass factory you opened in the capital, after all, there is only one in the capital, although there is one in Yuecheng. But after all, they have not expanded to the capital in the past few decades, can the emperor have no doubts in his heart? Hengzhi you bite to death the recipe bought from foreigners, isn't our Gale Country still trading with foreigners? That's what you're looking for me? ”

"Of course not, I've been assigned to the household department. In charge of local taxation, the Holy One asked me how I could enrich the treasury, and I made a few comments. The saint doesn't seem to be particularly satisfied, let me think about this problem during the vacation, and pay him a cent when I take office after the year, sister, I know you have a lot of ideas, I will be short alone, why don't you help me refer to it. ”

Ziqing thought. This household is really a fat poor, but how can it easily get to Zixi's body, is it because he has taken a fancy to Zixi's glass factory, thinking of this, Ziqing asked: "What are the opinions you mentioned?" Does the emperor mean to ask you to hand over the glass square? ”

"Not like that. I mentioned that the peasants should be encouraged to reclaim the wasteland as much as possible, not only to expand the planting area, but also to expand the variety of planting, especially the high-yield and easy-to-take ones, I remember that the potatoes and sweet potatoes you planted are now almost popular, as well as corn, as for how the wasteland can be cultivated into good land, I don't know very well, you told the eldest brother at that time. I didn't pay much attention. I know that you raise chickens, geese, and sheep at the same time as planting fruit trees, and the dung of these animals can be used to fertilize the land, and the Holy One is a little interested in this image. ”

"What you are talking about is agriculture, and agriculture is fundamental, but it is difficult for a country to become rich with agriculture alone, and there must also be industry and commerce." Ziqing took advantage of the situation to tell Zixi about the three industrial structures. How to complement each other.

"Sister, where did you know this? I found that you really know a lot, and listening to your analysis, it really makes some sense. ”

"Didn't I tell you, my sister has nothing to do and likes to read miscellaneous books, and I don't want to rush to take the exam, of course, read some miscellaneous books, combined with the analysis of the replacement of each dynasty in history, not to mention too far, just say that the previous dynasty, can have more than 400 years of country, not because they pay attention to trade with Fanguo, industry and agriculture have made great progress, the country is rich, only then can the silver expand the army, the army is strong, the country's security is guaranteed, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is the same as a family, a poor family, the people around you will look down on you, and even bully you, at your mercy, only live a good life, have strength, have confidence, people will treat you differently, our family used to be like this? ”

"Having said that, where is the money going to come from? You said that you want to give the people more endowments, not to say that I can't bear it, and the saints can't bear it, he just ascended the throne not long ago, and he proposed to add endowments, but I am afraid that if the people don't say it, there will be complaints in their hearts, after all, the days of farming are hard enough. ”

Although Ziqing doesn't know much about this, she still watched some TV and read some miscellaneous books here, knowing that almost every change of dynasty is because the people can't live hard, so they are forced to rebel, so it is really a good idea to give the people more money.

"Who said that the people should be glessed? Won't crafts and commerce be encouraged? The circulation of commodities can bring economic prosperity, of course, all this on the basis of the people can have enough to eat. For example, our porcelain and silk opened up the Silk Road more than a thousand years ago, which can be exchanged for war horses and silver in the Western Regions. Your brother-in-law is also going to form a shipping fleet and do business with Westerners. The industry of Westerners is still more developed than ours, and their muskets, grenades, etc., are all worth learning from, your brother-in-law should have seen it, you can discuss it with him. ”

"Huh? My brother-in-law wants to build a ship, so it will cost a lot of silver, right? My sister has really earned a lot over the years? ”

"Where, I have drained all my family resources and given it to him, to be honest, I will keep the thousands of taels of silver you just sent to me, and keep it for urgent use."

As he was talking, Lin Kangping came in with Yanran in his arms, and said to Zixi: "As soon as you come back, you will pester your sister, there are still two months, how many words you can't say, your sister got up early in the morning to prepare today's meal, and she hasn't rested for a while, the child's milk hasn't been fed yet, and you are still here to trouble her." ”

"That's okay, I'll go back first, sister, you think about it carefully, I'm still the same as before, I come to talk to you every night, I'm not too young to read Shurui, he should also come to listen, it's much better than just reading, it's very beneficial."

Lin Kangping grabbed an account book and threw it over, scolding with a smile, "Get out." When Zixi went out, Lin Kangping chased out of the door and said, "Don't talk about what your sister told you." ”

Zixi replied, "I know." "The man was gone.

Ziqing took the child, Lin Kangping said that the lotus root outside had been dug up, and the oranges had been cleaned, should I take advantage of the good weather in the past few days to make the sausage, and send it away at the end of the month.

Ziqing nodded, and suddenly thought that Zixi came back, and forgot to tell Ziyu that he would come back to live for a few days, so he would bring Zilu's family to gather, because Zilu should also be resting in Muxiu for the past two days, and the winter solstice is coming. Thinking of this, Ziqing hurriedly asked Lin Kangping to tell Lin Xing to go.

After the lunch break, Ziqing was teaching Shuyu and Shuwei to make leather balls, there were more children at home, Ziqing wanted to find an interesting activity for the children, it just so happened that the ancient people would not have been able to bow a long time ago? Ziqing made a simple leather ball by herself, and the inside was propped up into a circle with the green skin of bamboo, and a layer of sheepskin was sewn on the outside.

When Ziqing was done, Shurui and Shuyan also came back, found a vacant land for the children, and arranged it briefly, Ziqing taught them how to score goals, and they were playing lively, Zilu's two sons Yongsong and Yongbai came over, they were the same age as Shurui Shuyan, and they were usually detained by Zilu to study, so are they still naughty here? They forgot that the Shen clan sent them to call Ziqing over for dinner.

Ziqing ran and shouted with the children, but there was no such big exercise, she was so tired that her face was red and she was sweating profusely, but she really felt happy.

Zilu and Ziyu waited at home for a long time and didn't see Ziqing pass, and Zixi and Xia Ganyong came over, and as soon as they turned the side door, they heard the cheers of the children, and saw Ziqing playing happily, Zixi asked: "Sister, when did you start playing Keju?" Why haven't I seen it before? ”

Ziqing wiped the sweat on her face indiscriminately, her hair was braided in a random ponytail, Lin Kangping hurriedly came over and wiped the sweat for her with a handkerchief, and helped her straighten out her scattered hair, and said: "I didn't see any guests there, and I didn't go back to change my clothes, I looked like a child." ”

Ziqing saw Xia Ganyong at this time, and she was indeed a little embarrassed, so she greeted her and went back to her room to freshen up.

Ziyu saw Xia Ganyong's surprise, hurriedly pulled him, and said: "My brother-in-law has always been like this to my sister, even my father and my brother are impressed, saying that my brother-in-law has been the same for more than ten years, it is really difficult to do. You also learn a little bit along. ”

"I'm not surprised by this, it's not like I haven't seen my brother-in-law treat my sister well, I just thought, what kind of person is my sister? You said she was a village girl, but the first time I met you, Zhang Ji, who heard her explanation, thought it was the daughter of a famous family? You say she's a daughter, she hasn't officially entered the school for a day, and when it comes to farming, it's also the first thing to do. Pretending to be a village girl, pretending to be a lady, they are all full of resemblance, and today I saw the other side of her, no wonder, my brother-in-law, a tough guy who looks cold on the outside, is really, really good. Xia Ganyong thought for a long time, and only said a "good" word to describe it.

Zixi heard it and said with a smile: "That's it, my brother-in-law dares to treat my sister badly, so I immediately opened it for him." You too, dare to treat my sister badly, I will also open it for you. ”

"What do you mean?" Xia Ganyong asked.

"Stupid, kick it away, speaking of kicking, how about we also try to compete?" Zixi proposed.

After Zixi finished speaking, he had to pull Zilu and Zishou and Xia Ganyong off the field, and the four adults took the six children and played.

At this time, Ziqing came out, it turned out that the Shen family called their family over for dinner, Ziqing had to stop everyone and let the maid take the children down to wash.

"Sister, you said that we were a big family before, why didn't we remember to play Keju?" Zixi asked.

"What more do you not remember? Didn't you see that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, my sister brought a bunch of children at home, so it was called a lively? Singing and dancing, but unfortunately, you weren't there. Zishou said. (To be continued.)
