Chapter 188: Landmark
In the big winter of November, I accompanied a big man and ran around in my own jurisdiction. What's the point?
Zhang Xi was quite unhappy.
But fortunately, on this trip, Zhang Xi not only still brought his maid Xiaoba, but his wife also came with him.
Theoretically speaking, Zhang Xi is allowed to take Xiaoba on patrol, after all, Xiaoba is a maid, counting people, this way out on patrol, need someone to take care of but bring his own wife, this is a bit too much.
This is official business, not a trip, how can you bring your family with you.
But who made Zhang Xi's wife Sun Shangxiang.
When Lu Su arrived in Xiakou, he had to go to see Sun Shangxiang.
After all, it is always Sun Quan's sister, Lu Su is here, and he always has to replace Sun Quan to see how the little princess of Jiangdong is doing in Jiangxia.
Not to mention that Sun Shangxiang insisted on accompanying her husband on a trip, and asked Lu Su if he had any opinions.
What can Lu Su say, he can't show Sun Shangxiang in front of Zhang Xi.
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang went on patrol this time, not as Mrs. Zhang Xi, but as the sister of the lord of Jiangdong, and inspected the counties of Jiangxia with Lu Su.
This is the first time that Sun Shangxiang has used his identity to "make trouble" without authorization, but this matter is "troublesome". Anyway, it's Lu Su who has a headache, not Zhang Xi.
Although the little princess is doing well, Lu Su is also very pleased, but since you came out under the banner of the lord's sister, do you also help Jiangdong say something?!
Why have you been helping that Zhang Yuanchang to speak all the way, and the words are full of disgust for disturbing your newlywed life?!
Lu Su is also really difficult.
When you arrive at a place, Lu Su always has to take a field trip to see the population distribution, land planning, and living standards of the people in this place.
But every time Lu Su went to Zhang Xi to discuss these things, Sun Shangxiang looked at him with knife-like eyes, and it was very uncomfortable.
Not to mention that when Lu Su tried to provoke thorns along the way and expressed some views on Jiangxia's governance, Sun Shangxiang would always stand up and reply, saying something "There are bandits fifty miles out of Chaisang City, and Jiangdong's governance is not much better!" ”
What the hell is this little princess, where are you standing?!
I don't pick on thorns, how can I bargain when I change land in the future, and ask for more benefits from Liu Xuande!!
It's really the daughter who got married, and the water that spilled Sun Shangxiang's identity changed, maybe it's too fast, right?!
But Lu Su is a minister after all, no matter how Sun Shangxiang is, it is also Sun Quan's sister, Lu Su can't do anything to Sun Shangxiang after all.
Fortunately, Zhang Xi is still quite cooperative, every time he goes to a county office, even the people and fish scale maps inside the county government take the initiative to read for Lu Su, Lu Su wants to go to the place to check, and Zhang Xi also accompanies him as much as possible.
There is no way, the lord has already decided, Zhang Xi, as a subordinate, even if he is dissatisfied and reluctant to work hard, he still has to cooperate with the lord to complete the work.
Lu Su turned around this time and was very satisfied.
What is even more satisfying is that Lu Su learned an important means of governing the place - the fish scale atlas.
If you copy this thing and get it back to Jiangdong, you won't be afraid that the gang of families will stealthily encroach on the land.
As for other governance methods, in Lu Su's view, it is just like that, some do well and some do poorly, it is not the system that looks at it, but the governance ability of the county commander himself.
In these years, after all, it is the rule of man that has the upper hand.
For example, Zhao Lei, the county magistrate of Xia Pheasant County, made Lu Su very satisfied and excited, and even wondered if he would dig people up to Jiangdong.
Such a talent, when a county order, is a bit condescending.
But that's going to be talked about later, for now. returned to Xiakou, wrote a letter to the lord, and then continued to talk to Liu Bei about the land exchange.
In this way, in late December, Zhang Xi finally returned to Xiakou before the Chinese New Year and returned to Liu Bei.
After that, it's just waiting for the New Year.
Lu Su wrote to Sun Quan, this time and again, it is basically about to be the New Year.
China does not have the tradition of talking about things during the New Year, and if you are in a hurry, you can't wait for the fifteenth day of the first month.
Liu Bei may be in the entrepreneurial period, and he doesn't pay so much attention to it, but Sun Quan's side has gone through three generations, and these rules still have to be talked about, even if Sun Quan wants to find someone to discuss Lu Su's suggestion, he has to wait for his subordinates to come back after the Spring Festival.
So, it's rare for Zhang Xi to take a good rest.
Zhang Xi is resting, but Sun Shangxiang can't rest.
Isn't this the Spring Festival, Zhang Xi has to go out to pay New Year's greetings to a few important people, Sun Shangxiang on the one hand wants to help Zhang Xi dress up appropriately and reflect the style of the family, on the other hand, he also has to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with the wives of important people in Liu Bei's group.
It's not to save face for Zhang Xi, it's mainly that Sun Shangxiang also has his own things to do.
As a new housewife who is still studying hard, Sun Shangxiang is really worried about what to do with the family's livelihood.
After the autumn harvest, the rice from Guantian has been transported to the family, and at the end of the year, Zhang Xi's Lu as a soldier of the left general's palace Cao Peng has also been distributed. But to maintain the dignity of a family, it is not enough to rely on these rice.
In the past, in Zhang Xi's house, there were only ten servants, Xiao Qibao, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, two maids, a total of thirteen people.
But now, there are twenty maids and maids who have married with Sun Shangxiang alone, and Sun Shangxiang has to direct them to practice martial arts and military formations on weekdays, and the cost is really large.
Zhang Xi's family background is really a bit insufficient.
Of course, Sun Shangxiang can also take out his dowry and paste it upside down, but the problem is that it is not a long-term solution to go on like this.
Now Sun Shangxiang already knows the difficulty of maintaining a family, and it is definitely not possible to leave production like Zhang Xi.
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang decided to buy land.
People in these years are quite persistent in their pursuit of land, and if they don't have land in their hands, they won't be able to live with peace of mind.
But the problem is that Sun Shangxiang doesn't know where to buy land.
Jiangxia had idle land in his early years, but his husband had to resettle the displaced people, so he gave up the land that the family bought for pheasants.
Now, as soon as the resettlement of displaced people is over, there is no place to buy land if they want to.
As for the four counties of Jingnan, there is a lot of vacant land, but those places are either mountains and forests, or swamps and tidal flats, and they can't grow food at all, so what is this kind of land bought for?!
Another one, Sun Shangxiang married from Jiangdong after all, although she has the title of a sister of Sun Quan, but in these years, even Sun Quan himself does not have much influence in Jiangxia, who will give Sun Quan's sister face, and if there is any inside information about buying land, he will not tell her.
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang took the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to visit a lot of famous ladies.
Needless to say, the master of the house is his best friend, and with her help in introducing him, Sun Shangxiang easily met Liu Bei's concubine, Mrs. Gan.
And through Mrs. Gan's introduction, Sun Shangxiang met Guan Yu's wife, Jian Yong's wife, and Mi Zhu's wife anyway, so that if they got any inside information about buying land, they would follow up in time.
For example, Sun Shangxiang recently heard a news, saying that his second brother planned to exchange land with Liu Bei, and maybe Jiangxia was going to be swapped out. Well, this is not what I have heard, although Lu Su did not say what he was doing, Sun Shangxiang could guess a little.
As the captain of Jiangdong's Fenwu, why do you care about Jiangxia's governance?!
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang believes that Jiangxia is going to be exchanged, but it is rumored that Jiangdong will exchange the land of Nanjun for this is more valuable news.
If the two families change land, the local family will not be affected, but they will only change their lordship.
Unless this lord is shameless and robbed, how much land does the family occupy, and how much land does the lord still occupy.
But the fields occupied by some Jiangdong generals in Nanjun, as well as the fields occupied by some Liu Bei Group officials in Jiangxia, must always be dealt with by the next family.
And Sun Shangxiang, as a woman who can speak on both sides, can this value be low? !
Not to mention anything else, Sun Shangxiang knew that Zhou Yu had a fief with a large area in Nanjun, which was rewarded by the second brother for laying down Nanjun and giving it to him.
If it is a peaceful time, then it is not a problem for Zhou Yu's fief to be placed in Nanjun, and it is enough to send someone to manage it every year and collect rent.
But now in this world, once the two families change land, even Zhou Yu is not very good to directly send someone to manage his fiefdom, so there is a high probability that Sun Quan will transfer Zhou Yu to Jiangdong.
Then the fiefdom of Nanjun, the Zhou family must change hands.
After Sun Shangxiang learned the news, he immediately remembered Zhou Yu's fiefdom and hurriedly wrote to Zhou Yu.
Anyway, there will be no shortage of this small piece of land in the future, so it is better to sell it to your sister and me.
And after Zhou Yu received Sun Shangxiang's letter, he almost didn't get angry.
What's just a small piece of land?!
You call twenty hectares of fertile land a small piece of land?!
This girl. How can you cheat your brother's sister like this?!
