Men have men's entertainment, women also have women's lives, Wen Jin, Mrs. Xiao and Grandma Xiao are three people at home, guarding four little radish heads, talking about their parents, laughing and laughing, and the joy is infinite.

At the appropriate time, Wen Jin asked Mrs. Xiao: "Didn't my father hire a doctor for the family?" Did he give you any advice? ”

"Nope."

"When I was pregnant with Jinjin, he asked me to walk more, saying that otherwise, it would be difficult to have children in the future, and I would not have the strength."

"Oh, he told me too, that's what you said." Mrs. Xiao suddenly said, "What else do I mean?" ”

"Madam, the doctor didn't allow me to be greedy back then, saying that the first child was not easy to give birth, and if I ate too much, the child would be too fat and prone to dystocia."

"Huh?" Mrs. Xiao's face changed, "Do you believe it?" What should I do if my child doesn't grow up well if I eat less? ”

"Madam, just eat properly, it's not that the more you eat, the better, it's good for the child, the daily dishes, a meat, a vegetarian mushroom, and then add a glass of goat's milk or custard in the morning."

"Oh!" Mrs. Xiao didn't speak for a while, carrying Grandma Xiao on her back, she quietly told Wen Jin, "Your father asked me if I want to eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge every day?" Anyway, there are many things in the south, and they are cheap. Yuchen was there, and I also sent it over, which was enough for them. ”

"This, in moderation, mother should not eat it as a meal, it is useful for the weak to eat, and if the healthy eat, it is to eat."

"Eat? It's so expensive—" Mrs. Xiao didn't finish and smiled, "I see." ”

Emperor Yongchang did not expect that Xiao Yi's reclamation would have such a situation, from south to north, there are more than 100 miles wide, but the east and west direction is as much as 800 miles long narrow area, the population has rapidly increased to nearly 100,000, the annual production of tea, raw silk, silk and satin are continuously shipped out, some are sold to the mainland, and some are shipped overseas, a boatload of silver, grain is transported back, so that the people there, the standard of living is richer than the mainland, and Xiao Yi also took the initiative to fold the child, began to tax the imperial court, although the amount is not large, But it can be regarded as a heart for the court.

is also a reclamation, Liu Guangzhong's side, but he lived a very miserable life, and his explanation to the emperor was that the land was barren and the weather was extremely poor. In the original words of his fold, "the earth is not three miles flat, the people are not three cents of silver, the sky is sunny for three days, one rain a year, from spring to autumn, the hands and feet are frozen in winter, the cracked stones are dried in summer, the trees are no more than three feet, and the seedlings are not even one ridge." Although Emperor Yongchang wanted to punish Liu Guangzhong and force him to raise food to support the soldiers in the reclamation, Liu Guangzhong seemed to be still holding on at first, and let the family quietly use vases, screens and other ornaments to raise money, and then wiped off his face and cried poverty to the emperor.

Emperor Yongchang sent people to quietly go to the area of Xiao Yi's reclamation and Liu Guangzhong's area to check, and the people who came back couldn't say why, because when the rainy season in the south began, it was common to not know that the sun rose from that side for a month, Xiao Yi's side and Liu Guangzhong's side, there was no difference, as for the cold in winter, Xiao Yi's side had snow, and Liu Guangzhong's side, never, but it had frozen, which was barely flattened. As for the land, there is not much to cultivate on Liu Guangzhong's side, and isn't it the same for Xiao Yi's side? But Xiao Yi's Nanlin Mansion can find tea trees and make a fortune, but Liu Guangzhong's side, why can't he do this?

When the people who collected the wind went back, they first told the emperor the truth: "The reclamation area where Xiao Guogong is located is indeed very rich, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the children have many books to read, and the old people are also supported, farming and doing business, each doing its own thing, and the taxes to the imperial court all come from commerce. ”

"I didn't see it, this Xiao Yi is a good hand at leading the troops, and he is also a good minister in governing the place." Emperor Yongchang believed that Liu Guangzhong's place was poor, and he was incapacitated.

The reason why Liu Guangzhong was able to lead troops and bring so many soldiers was because of the foundation laid by his grandfather and father, and now that he has changed his territory and industry, his ability has been revealed.

Emperor Yongchang began to consider transferring Liu Guangzhong back to the capital. The magistrates assigned to Xiao Yi's territory had a sad face when they went one by one, but then they were happy, and no one ever managed to transfer them out, which shows that Xiao Yi was more generous to the officials in the fiefdom. And the magistrates assigned to Liu Guangzhong's side did not take long to find a way to transfer out, which shows that this person is narrow-minded and can hardly tolerate people. People should be damned than people, and goods should be thrown away, this Liu Guangzhong and Xiao Yi are in the same position, and they make a judgment

Emperor Yongchang sent officials to the two localities, naturally there are also cronies of officials, every month there are secret folds into Beijing, more said that Xiao Yi never interferes in local affairs, the only thing outside the list is to supervise flood prevention and disaster prevention, those projects must be personally inspected, if it is found that there is dereliction of duty and corruption, it will be corrected immediately, if it is serious, it will be impeached.

Emperor Yongchang did not receive a single impeachment excerpt, which shows that Xiao Yi checked frequently, and as soon as there were signs of corruption and dereliction of duty, he was contained in the cradle.

This year just started spring, Xiao Yi's excerpt went to the capital, he wanted to set up a academy in Nanlin, not only to teach the subset of scripture and history, but also to teach some knowledge of fist and foot soldiers and horses to mobilize the formation, Xiao Yi explained: "Tranquility for a long time, the people and officials are mostly slack, the ministers are worried day and night, lest the foreign races in the west and north of Xinjiang make trouble, but the minister will be old in a few years, can not pull a hard bow, can not ride a fierce horse, empty heart to serve the country, but no body to serve the country, every time I think about this, Yi often sleeps all night, only to pass on a body of skill to future generations, Reserve talents for the imperial court to feel at ease, therefore, the minister wants to build a academy to educate talents for the country, and it can also be regarded as sharing worries for the emperor. ”

Emperor Yongchang did not hesitate to draw a circle on the fold, and asked the attendant to read the Hanlin edict and issue it with a seal, and he also praised Xiao Yi a little behind the holy decree.

A few days after Emperor Yongchang was in a better mood, a secret letter made him furious.

The excerpt is written: Weichen went to the Xiaoguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and met his son-in-law, vaguely the son of Prince Ren, the minister inquired privately, originally said that it was the son of a rich businessman, and now the rich businessman returned home, he has fled far away, went to a tea mountain to settle down, Weichen quietly visited, this person's whereabouts are wandering, I don't know where to go.

Although it is not confirmed that this person is Qian Jun on the secret fold, if it is not sure, even if it is a secret fold, it can be heard, and this magistrate will not report it.

Emperor Yongchang recalled the process of Xiao Wenjin's marriage, the other party was still an ordinary Tian family boy, but Xiao Yi made things happen in a hurry, if it wasn't for Qian Jun, how could it be so fast?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi actually concealed such an important matter from himself for six years, which is unbearable, Emperor Yongchang really wanted to issue an order immediately, and ordered someone to escort Xiao Yi to Beijing and put him in prison to torture him.

Emperor Yongchang was in a rage, Shen Mingzhao arrived, the little eunuch came in to spread the word, and when he saw the emperor's gloomy face, he was so frightened that he quietly retreated.

At this time, how could Emperor Yongchang not think that this uncle would have known about it a long time ago, otherwise, how would he get out of the grief of losing his own nephew? Especially Shen Mingxi, who suddenly changed his temperament, and has a deep relationship with his current wife, not only gave birth to a son, but also raised black hair.

Shen Mingzhao entered the upper study, and as before, he knelt down seriously and kowtowed to the emperor: "Knock to see Your Majesty!" Long live my emperor! ”

In the past, Emperor Yongchang would come with a sentence: "Flat body, give a seat!" ”

Today, he didn't say a word, just stared at Shen Mingzhao in annoyance.

Shen Mingzhao knelt motionless, as if he was like this every day, he had long been used to it, and he couldn't see any panic in him, Emperor Yongchang was even more angry, grabbed the secret fold and threw it over.

Shen Mingzhao picked up the secret fold and glanced at it, still kneeling, not explaining or panicking.

"Are you guilty?"

"What is the sin?"

"You must have known that Qian Jun was not dead!"

"He's forgotten everything from the past, and he doesn't even know me, it's like death!"

"What did you say?" Emperor Yongchang was taken aback, forgot to get angry, and subconsciously pointed to the brocade stool beside him.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Shen Mingzhao kowtowed earnestly and thanked him, got up and sat down.

The emperor realized that he was confused and gave him a seat, but it had come to this point, and he could not remove it, and besides, his curiosity was not satisfied.

"What the hell happened to Qian Jun?"

He didn't know that at that time, Xiao Yi's family was besieged by bandits in Hulu Valley, and Miss Xiao almost lost her life at the hands of the bandits. Originally, Xiao Yi wanted to write a secret fold to the emperor, but some of Qian Jun's words made him very hesitant. ”

"What did he say?"

He said that although he didn't remember who he was or where his parents were, as soon as he mentioned his home, he was very rejected and heartbroken, so Xiao Guogong had to quietly inform Mingxi and let him persuade him.

"Well, Shen Mingxi, he definitely didn't do his best." Emperor Yongchang said angrily.

"Let's just say that, Mingxi loves Xiaojun the most, since Xiaojun said that he doesn't want to go home, Mingxi will definitely not be reluctant. Xiao Jun is a person who has already died once, how can Mingxi be ruthless and make him suffer again? It was he who facilitated the marriage between Miss Xiao and Xiao Jun, Your Majesty, if you want to punish them, punish the two brothers. Xiao Guogong originally wanted to explain this matter to the emperor, but it was Mingxi who said that he would return to Beijing to report to you secretly, so he said it more carefully and concretely, so he didn't take action, and he didn't deliberately hide it. ”

Emperor Yongchang is not a fool, where can he not hear Shen Mingzhao excusing Xiao Yi, he glared at Shen Mingzhao, but his heart was sour and sad, although Shen Mingzhao's words could not be fully believed, but Qian Jun himself was unwilling to go home, this is for sure, he concluded that Xiao Yi did not have such courage to dare to instigate the relationship between Qian Jun and Prince Ren and himself.

Shen Mingzhao came to the emperor because he had something important to discuss, and Emperor Yongchang was silent for a while, then diverted the topic: "Shen Aiqing is looking for me, what is the matter?" ”

"The Northern Desert Sticky Han Tartar Department sent an envoy to submit the credentials before the customs to trade with the interior."

"No! What did they do at the treaty gates? Burning, killing, looting, forcibly selling and buying, treating my great glory as nothing, how can this deep hatred be easily exposed? If they don't punish the murderers of last year's troubles and apologize to our court, don't even think about this trade incident. ”

After listening to the emperor's words, Shen Mingzhao smiled slightly, how to deal with the northern Xinjiang issue, there are currently two factions in the imperial court, one has a tougher attitude and feels that it should adhere to principles, while the other faction is clamoring for forbearance, saying that war affects national strength, costs the people and money, and advocates peace talks.

Shen Mingzhao is not a warmonger, if the Tartars are sincere, he will not oppose peace talks, but the current situation is that after more than 30 years of recuperation, the Tartars in northern Xinjiang think that the national strength is strong, the soldiers are strong, and they want to overwhelm Jurong. The head of the Tartars, the Khan is cunning and cunning, unprofitable, and presses Jurong step by step, and now, it has reached the point where he can't bear it anymore. Just like Emperor Yongchang just said, they provoked trouble at the customs clearance port, and also pushed the responsibility on the people and merchants of Jurong, accusing this side of the purchase of Tartar skin and medicinal materials to lower the price, and inflating the price of the goods sold there, making huge profits, and even saying that tea is just leaves, and even dared to ask for a high price, completely ignoring the hard work of tea farmers, tea merchants paid a high price for long-distance trafficking, as if their things were as precious as gold and jade, and the goods here were the barren beaches and weeds, which were not worth mentioning. As a result, tensions between the two sides intensified, culminating in a riot last winter, in which many merchants were looted and civilians were injured. Emperor Yongchang was furious, closed the pass as punishment, Sticky Han insisted for half a year, and now finally can't stand it, Jurong can not use the horses, medicinal materials and furs of the northern Xinjiang, these trades can meet the requirements of the domestic market through the border trade of the west and the northeast, but the ethnic groups of the northern Xinjiang are inseparable from the tea, cloth, iron, grain, etc. of Jurong.

Shen Mingzhao suspected that Mu Han sent people to infiltrate the capital and bribe traitors to speak for him. Recently, a proud man of Yao Guangyuan shouted for the Tartars everywhere, and his appearance was suspicious, Shen Mingzhao estimated that there would be a dragon and tiger fight at tomorrow's court meeting.

Yao Guangyuan in the past few years, the power is getting bigger and bigger, he is very good at patting the emperor's ass, and at the same time trying his best to form a gang and form a faction, forming a party for personal gain, and has gathered a group of like-minded officials around him, Shen Mingzhao is very mediocre on weekdays, and does not clash with him head-on, Yao Guangyuan is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and has a faint posture of the first minister in the court, and has often argued with Shen Mingzhao recently.

Shen Mingzhao knows very well what he should do, as a courtier, to put it bluntly, he is serving the dynasty, if the emperor is mediocre, he may really be able to be glorious by flattering the horse, but Emperor Yongchang is definitely a smart and keen person, he is bent on revitalizing the Jurong Dynasty, how can he allow someone to do things under his nose? If Emperor Yongchang realized it, he would definitely be furious, ruthless, and completely cut off this hidden danger in the court.

Shen Mingzhao's question just now was to give the emperor a preventive shot in advance, so that he could prepare his mind early, and when he got home, he wrote a secret letter and sent someone to send it to Qian Jun.

The next day, as Shen Mingzhao expected, Yao Guangyuan's people tried their best to advocate peace talks, made Emperor Yongchang angry, belittled two on the spot, and let Yao Guangyuan go home to study, and was not allowed to go to the court for a month.

Because the eating habits of the northern aliens are very different from the mainlanders, there are also differences in appearance, the soldiers and horses are like a grate to search, the Jingwei army surrounded the capital, and finally a few spies were caught, but the most important person fled, Shen Mingzhao judged that the person was a traitor, but unfortunately these spies had a very tight mouth and refused to confess anything, the emperor deposed a few officials, and the crooked trend of compromise in the north was killed.

At this time, Emperor Yongchang suddenly received a secret letter, using an extremely confidential channel that few people knew, and when he opened it, he was in a very happy mood for several days.

At the beginning of spring, the weather is warmer, Qian Jun hired a large number of artificial people to open the mountain and quarry to build the academy, at the same time, let people go to Jiangnan to recruit teachers, promised a good salary and good living conditions, busy, let him tired, but the spirit is uplifted, the eyes have become bright and sharp, the faint flash of loss and melancholy in the eyes is also invisible, he is a man who pursues perfection, even if he is busy outside, he will never look tired and impatient when he comes home, and he is very gentle to his wife and children.

Wen Jin is not such an eyeless person, when Qian Jun comes back, she will let him get together with the children for a while, and then take her sons out under the pretext of letting him have a quiet environment and seize the time to sleep for a while.

Qian Jun is worthy of practicing martial arts, and often only has a quarter of an hour of sleep, and he can recover his vigorous state, and then he will look for him and play with his son and wife for a while.

Last autumn, a tea picker told Qian Jun that there was a kind of camellia tree at the foot of the mountain, the seeds can be squeezed for oil, which is better than the oil squeezed from the seeds of the tea tree, and the area at the foot of the mountain is not suitable for the growth of tea trees.

Throughout the winter, the horse manure saved by the eight horses in the family let Wen Jin command people to compost outside the breeding room, and now the fertilizer has been matured, enough for Wen Jin to use the few acres of land he opened.

Qian Jun stood aside with a smile and watched Wen Jin directing the hired workers to take cuttings and seedlings in the field. Next to the seedling field, there is a vegetable patch, which has been fenced with branches, which is to prevent the chickens that are about to come out of the nest to peck and eat.

Jin Jin saw his father, screamed and ran over, Qian Qian will also walk, swaying and falling at any time, and running here with little short legs, the nurse is nervously guarding behind, the little guy even thinks that the nurse is in the way, stretches out his little fat hand, and pulls the hand of the nurse's arm away. Wen Jin heard the child's laughter, turned his head to look, the figure in the sunset was stretched long, spread on the ground, standing and running beside the person, inlaid with a golden halo, Qian Jun bent down to pick up the eldest son, carried him on his shoulder, and then held it with one hand, and scooped the younger son in his arms with the other hand, and then stood up, the two little guys giggled, and shouted to Wen Jin: "Mother——, mother-" Wen Jin smiled at her son and husband, her snow-white teeth were as neat and beautiful as braided shells.
