Yu Guang glanced at Zhou Dayong, who was trembling next to him, Gu Yunji's eyes darkened, and his whole body became vigorous: "As an officer and soldier, you can't stand guard and be on duty, you actually dare to trade with the homeless people privately, resell your hand, deduct money, and force women from good families, If you want to do bad things with them, Zhou Dayong, you are guilty!" ”

Zhou Dayong's eyes widened, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no! She just said it herself, I didn't force her, she did it voluntarily! ”

"You only deny forcing her, so it's true that you traded with the homeless people and resold handkerchiefs?" Gu Yunji's tone was cold, and Zhou Dayong's hands and feet were cold when he heard it, "What did Lord Lu say at the beginning? All officers and soldiers must fulfill their duties and must not exceed the rules. Anyone who ignores the law and discipline and secretly interacts with the homeless shall be punished with thirty rods and one year's imprisonment. ”

"Even if it's not coercion, you did trick Mrs. Wu into making fun with you on the pretext of helping to sell handkerchiefs. What's more, you are really suspected of persecuting her, so it should not be unjust to punish you for the crime of seducing women, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Dayong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "Gu Gongzi! Spare me, I won't dare to ...... again."

Gu Yunji didn't want to hear him cry, and frowned and said to the official beside him: "Take him away and hand him over to the person in charge, you can do what you want, you don't have to show mercy to your subordinates, it's really noisy and my brain hurts." ”

After solving Zhou Dayong's matter, Gu Yunji couldn't bear Wu Niangzi, a woman with a tragic fate, so she bought her handkerchief at the market price, and comforted her well, and then went back to the city to see Lu Xianzhi.

In the Hangzhou Mansion, after listening to Gu Yunji's thoughts, Lu Xianzhi raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of surprise in his tone: "You mean, the reclaimed wasteland will be given priority to the households with more Dingkou, so that the men will farm at home and the women will go out to work?" ”

Gu Yunji nodded: "Yes, so to speak." In fact, it is a combination of the methods of absorbing women and resettling men, which will not only allow women to have a way to earn a living, but also allow young and strong men to quickly settle down, have a stable source of income, and do not have to worry about the problem of food for the displaced people before the harvest. This can also increase the number of households for Hangzhou and reduce the cost of resettlement of displaced people, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone. ”

Gu Yunji added: "The key is to allow the women among the displaced people to work in the weaving and dyeing workshop to earn money, so as to solve the most important women's livelihood problem at the moment." ”

"As for the follow-up distribution of the land, it is just a matter of cooperating with the men's resettlement method. After all, as long as the women had a job in weaving, it was not very important for them whether there was land to be distributed or not. ”

Lu Xianzhi pondered for a moment and said, "The idea is good. But even though weaving and weaving silk have the same principle, there is still a big gap between the two, and these women have not been in contact with it, can they adapt to these? You must know that the weaving and dyeing workshop in Hangzhou has high requirements for the recruitment of weavers. ”

"That's why the government has to come forward and teach them weaving art intensively." Gu Yunji had already thought of this layer, and said unhurriedly, "The project of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has not yet been decided, and the resettlement regulations for the displaced people have not yet been issued. It is better to take advantage of this time to let the women learn the skills of silk weaving, so that even if they do not go to the government-run workshop in the end, they can go to some private private workshops to work. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xianzhi thought carefully about the joints, and then bowed slightly: "Well, I think this method is feasible." But when it comes to the silk weaving industry, I can't make decisions without authorization, and I have to discuss it with the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau to be sure. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at Gu Yunji and said, "I will discuss with the relevant officials as soon as possible, during this period, you go to the homeless people to select a few women with outstanding weaving skills, and let them prepare for the inspection and screening of the Weaving Bureau." ”

Gu Yunji naturally had no objection to this, and immediately agreed.

Gu Yunji felt that he had no attainments in embroidery, weaving and dyeing, and he was afraid that he would not be able to select excellent women well. What's more, in this era, men and women have very strict interactions, and for strange men like him, most of the women's attitudes are a little defensive, and it is relatively difficult to communicate.

After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to hand over this task to Xu Shuhua.

Hearing him say this, Xu Shuhua's eyes were slightly surprised: "Are you sure you want me to do it?" What if I don't pick a good pick and mess things up? ”

Gu Yunji said: "Miss Xu is comprehensive, thoughtful, and very good at female popularity, and she also has a woman's natural affinity, so it is naturally easier to convince women, so how can she mess things up?" ”

Xu Shuhua's eyebrows rose, and there was a bit of banter in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yunji: "Gu Gongzi has never seen me as a female celebrity, how do you know that I am very good at this?" ”

Gu Yunji was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he was a little choked.

In Gu Yunji's eyes, Xu Shuhua is agile and talented, proficient in Western languages, and has a study of cooking, which can be called an all-rounder. What's more, female celebrity is a compulsory course for women in the boudoir, and Xu Shuhua is everyone's ladies, so it is naturally indispensable to learn this.

Even if Gu Yunji has not seen Xu Shuhua's female celebrity level, he takes it for granted that she must be very good at it.

Now that I think about it, it was in the eyes of his lover that beautified Xu Shuhua's image subconsciously.

Gu Yunji was slightly embarrassed by Xu Shuhua's question, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Xu's exquisite mind is splendid and talented, and she is top-notch no matter what she does, so even if I haven't seen you as a female celebrity, I don't think that your level must be the best." ”

Xu Shuhua chuckled, and the corners of his lips hooked up a pleasant arc: "Since Gu Gongzi trusts him so much, I must choose carefully and handle things properly, so as to live up to your praise." ”

However, Gu Yunji didn't guess wrong, judging from the requirements for women in this era, Xu Shuhua can almost be called an all-rounder, he can go out of the hall and in the kitchen, and he has dabbled in all aspects, and the female celebrity is naturally not a problem.

After getting along with Xu Shuhua for a long time, Gu Yunji felt more and more that she was actually very open in front of her acquaintances, and she was not squirming at all. At least now she often jokes with Gu Yunji, often making him blush, so that she has to run away, but she herself is snickering in place.

Just like at this moment, listening to Xu Shuhua's ridicule, Gu Yunji's face was red to the base of his neck, and he wanted to immediately expose this topic: "Then, then it's decided." After Miss Xu finished choosing, just let me know. ”

Looking at Gu Yunji's embarrassed look, Xu Shuhua was amused in his heart, and agreed to come down with kindness, and did not continue to tease him.
