Chapter 439: Dividends

This year has been the busiest year for the Division, especially in autumn and winter. Si Nongsi, from Shangguan to miscellaneous servants, without exception, some people have not even returned home for half a month.

But the results are also gratifying.

The vegetables in the greenhouse were well eaten in the palace, and the emperor praised them many times.

Although other colleagues looked down on them, saying that they were digging in the field and disdained to be with them, they couldn't hold their heads up before, like Du Zhishu, who finally came out of the township and entered the government through the imperial examination, but this official still deals with the fields.

When others asked, the old parents at home only said that he was a Beijing official in the capital, and he was embarrassed to say that he was an errand in the Si Nong Division.

But now Du Zhishu doesn't think so.

Because the king of Yue said that "the country is people-oriented, the people are based on food and clothing, and the food and clothing are based on agriculture and mulberry", saying that they are as important as the six departments, and even more important than the six departments, the people are based on agriculture and mulberry, and they can't even have a full stomach without agriculture and mulberry, let alone anything else.

Du Zhishu burst into tears when he heard this, and the whole of Si Nongsi also burst into tears. They are proud, they are the people of the Si Nong!

Now Du Zhishu is holding the account book, and he is proud of himself and their agricultural department again. This is not a number, it is the fruit of their labor, and it is their hot heart for themselves and the people.

King Yue said that next year, these new vegetables will be promoted to the whole Daqi and enrich the dining table of the people of Daqi. As long as the people eat the vegetables they promote, they will remember the credit of their successful trial planting!

Du Zhishu sniffed and calmed down, and then read the account book to everyone, how many vegetables and vegetables were planted, how long the planting period was, how much was the harvest, how much was sent in the palace, how much was left, how much silver was sold, and how much did it cost......

"The prince said to divide these into two halves, half of which will be divided according to the proportion of the salary, and half will be divided according to the degree of contribution."

After Du Zhishu finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and was excited. In particular, the excited expressions of the handymen had been clearly written on their faces.

They are not into the stream of miscellaneous servants, usually do the most work, but they receive the least, originally thought that today's dividends, they will be the same as before, no benefit, but I didn't expect the king of Yue to say that half of the dividends will be divided according to the degree of contribution.

On contribution, on hard work, who has worked hard for them!

Rubbing his hands together excitedly.

Zhao Guangyuan swept around, his eyes skimming over several miscellaneous servants. A few handymen almost live in the Imperial Village, and if they take the least, it will discourage them from being motivated in the future. glanced at Yao Yongyi again, saw that he had no objections, and was satisfied.

Yao Yongyi is an interesting person, smart, knowledgeable about current affairs, and has a high degree of cooperation with him. But as long as he changes someone, Zhao Guangyuan feels that he may not be so smooth in the Si Nong Division.

After reading the account book, Du Zhishu opened the box on the side under the signal of King Yue and Lord Yao......

As soon as the box was opened, a silver light from the white flowers flashed blinding in an instant. It was full of silver ingots. There is also a box of small ingots of one or two next to it.

Just looking at them makes you want to hold them and nibble on them. Rao is a person with a tenacious heart, and his eyes are full of joy.

Who can be silent to silver, a whole box of silver, and not a god?

"Panjing, thirty-five taels, stone robe thirty-three taels......"

Panjing Shihao listened to Lord Shaoqing read their names, and excitedly stepped forward to receive the silver.

Five taels of silver ingots, with several in their arms, heavy, the two of them held it excitedly, "Thank you King Yue, thank you Lord Yao, thank you Lord Du!" ”

Their voices trembled. For them who are two taels a month, thirty taels of silver is almost equivalent to two years of their salary, how not to be excited!

And this is the silver they have earned through their hard work, and the foreign wealth they have obtained in a dignified manner.

Full of a sense of accomplishment.

After a few miscellaneous servants finished receiving it, and then listened to Peng Song's two nine grade masters, the other adults received more than them, and they were not jealous, although they contributed the most, but without the adults' advice and careful guidance, they couldn't do anything, and they couldn't get so much silver.

In the end, after Master Yao also received the dividends, everyone in the Si Nong Division, you look at me, I look at you, everyone grinned and smiled happily. Tang Wangzhi, who came the latest, also received twenty taels.

Tang Wangzhi rubbed a few silver ingots and stole fun, this was his monthly money in the academy for four months!

Feeling their happiness, Zhao Guangyuan was also happy.

"This year, we prepared late, and tried to plant some unfamiliar vegetable seeds, and sent most of them into the palace, so the dividends were not much, and I also left 1,000 taels for ......dividends."

They still have a thousand taels of silver to share?!

King Yue intercepted a thousand taels?

"Does the prince have any special arrangements?" Lord Yao and Lord Du must have known, and Master Peng, who had been to the imperial tomb on an errand with King Yue, asked everyone what they wanted to ask.

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Yes." This king has an arrangement. Our Department of Agriculture advises farmers and mulberries to study the method of high grain yield, seek benefits for the people, make the people have food and clothing, and determine the foundation of the country, but also discover more, cultivate more, and try to plant all kinds of edible crops. Huangzhuang we use everywhere subject to the control of others, the king will intercept the profits, in the suburbs of Beijing bought a small village of 50 acres, starting next spring, we will do experiments on our own farm, autumn and winter on the farm to grow vegetables, the profit will also be our own. ”

Si Nong Si has no oil and water to fish, even Lord Yao lives a tight life, his purse is not bulging, and his colleagues in the yamen still look down on them, so Zhao Guangyuan wants to seek some benefits for them.

The so-called money strengthens people's courage, and when the purse is bulging, everything will go smoothly.

Everyone was surprised and delighted, they had their own Zhuangzi? Next year, they will grow vegetables on their own farm, and the profits from the sale will be their own?

"Not only that, but when we breed new species, people will come to us for seeds."

Wealthy officials ask them for seeds?

Which wealthy official does not have Zhuangzi land? If they really cultivated high-yield crops, there must be many people who will come to buy edible crops that have not yet been born!

The crowd imagined that people who usually looked down on them came to them and begged them to buy seeds, and the picture was ......

I couldn't help but straighten my chest and straighten my back.

They have their own Zhuangzi! They don't have to be controlled by others, they can do all kinds of experiments without distractions, and they don't have to watch others point fingers and gossip!

It's cool to think about.

"We all listen to the prince!" "Yes, we will do whatever the prince says!" Everyone respected Zhao Guangyuan more and more.

After Si Nong's resignation, Du Zhishu returned home with a few ingots of silver.

Seeing the busy figure of the mother-in-law and the maid ring in his own courtyard, his mood became better and better. Before this, their family was just a maid, a mother-in-law, and a small house, and many wives had to do it themselves.

But now they have hired a few more subordinates, not only does the wife no longer have to do housework, but also a pair of children have someone to take care of.

"Daddy!" When the two children saw their father coming back, they ran over and hugged him on the thighs.

"Hey. Is it good at home? Do you want to listen to your mother? Du Zhishu handed his wife the burden of silver and kissed his two children.

After speaking, seeing that they couldn't stay in the house, he asked Yahuan to take them out. Seeing that his wife didn't even open her baggage and take a look, she teased: "You don't even care about the silver now?" ”

Zhou Shi glanced at him, "Isn't it forty-two taels of silver, I heard you say it two days ago." "What's curious.

Du Zhishu sat beside her, "Isn't it forty-two taels of silver?" Lady, you are very angry now, and you still think that you are a lady, and you can't look down on the silver that your husband got back. ”

Zhou raised his eyebrows smugly at him, "Compared with the silver I shared, yours is a little inadequate." ”

Thinking of the more than 200 taels of silver that Zhou got back, "That can't be compared to a husband." ”

Who would have thought that his wife would follow the princess for such a short period of time and earn several times more silver than him.

"I'm still short on time, you'll see again next year."

"Yes, yes." Du Zhishu got up and bowed to her, "From now on, you will have to rely on your wife to support you." I hope that the lady will take care of her in the future! ”

"Go." Zhou smiled and pushed him.

Who doesn't love silver, opened the baggage, touched a few ingots of silver brought back by her husband, and smiled brightly. Who would have thought that they were still worried about the silver last year.

To give gifts to Shangguan, to give gifts to the parents and relatives of the two families, but also to go around the exchanges, Du Zhishu is sixty taels a year, plus various subsidies, and it is less than one hundred taels if he can't afford it. Last year, the couple was worried about money, but this year they are suddenly rich.

"Next year, we will both work hard to buy a house of our own!" "Hmm!"

The next day, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, the yamen of Daqi began to be sealed. By the twentieth day of the first month, Daqi's annual leave is a full month.

Of course, the seal does not mean that there will be no one in the yamen, so there will be no work, and there will still be people on duty during the year. Like the yamen in Beijing, the documents sent by other provinces and cities are still received, but they are only collected and not dismantled.

However, when it comes to important military and government affairs, they are still ready to play at any time.

"Daqi's annual leave is quite long." It's bad for Lin Zhaoxia to be envious. Thinking of her side, Chinese New Year's Eve still has to work, tears remain.

Zhao Guangyuan thought that even women on her side had to come out to work and earn money to support their families like men, and he felt a little distressed when he thought of her previous hard work. Thinking about hurting her more in the future.

"It is also because of the inconvenient transportation in Daqi, the heavy snow in winter closes the road, and it is even more difficult to walk, and officials from other provinces, states and counties have to go home to visit relatives.

"Yes. Du Zhishu, the one from your Si Nongsi, the one from Yanzhou, I heard from the Zhou family that their husband and wife have not returned to their hometown for many years. ”

"They'll be going back this year."

Yanzhou is not too far from the capital, a month is enough for them to go back and forth, they didn't go back before, mainly because the cost is too big, the family relies on Du Zhishu's money to live, a year down, no borrowing money and no debts are good.

Lin Zhaoxia sighed that it is not easy to live in the capital, countless people in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have struggled for many years, and they can't afford to buy a house. It's all the same.

"This year, your agricultural division should be doing better."

"Not only are they better, my Yue Wang is much better, and it is rumored that this king has finally taken off his poor hat with a Huixian Building, and I believe that it will not be long before the silver borrowed from the pawnshop will be returned. They all rejoice for the king. ”

Lin Zhaoxia laughed.

"Even when I went to attend various banquets, the nobles and ladies also looked at me, for fear that King Yue would be too poor and wronged me, the princess from the people. Every time I attend a royal gathering, the eldest princesses are eager to give me jewelry, for fear that I will embarrass the royal family with my shabby spirit. ”

Zhao Guangyuan also smiled, "Several imperial aunts are not mean people, and they treated me and my imperial brother very well when I was a child......

Speaking of the deceased former prince, the husband and wife were silent.

Seeing his gloomy face, Lin Zhaoxia hugged him and only said, "Several imperial aunts said that the seafood we sent was loved by everyone in the family, and they also said that they would send more seafood from Yuezhou in the future." They gave me a lot of gifts in return. ”

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Take it." ”

Lin Zhaoxia responded, and when he talked about the New Year's gift, he remembered something again, "There are many people in the library who send New Year's gifts, and I originally said that I wouldn't accept them, but they put the New Year's gifts at the door and left." ”

I didn't expect the ancients to be so simple, only to give some small favors, and they were thinking about the return.

Because of the opening of Huixian Building, some poor students from the library were invited to draw menus, cultural and creative works, comic books, children's enlightenment stories, and collect their calligraphy and paintings, so that those students got a lot of money. I have the confidence to stay in the capital for a few more days to do my studies.

I heard that the Yue King was poor, and he was helping to publicize, and he was going to the fairy building with limited silver to consume, and in the second half of the year, he gave gifts to the Yue Wangfu. made Lin Zhaoxia quite emotional.

Zhao Guangyuan thought for a while, "I will ask people to write down the list of gift givers, and introduce them to some great Confucians next year to guide them in their knowledge." ”

After the yamen was sealed, the court meeting was also stopped. Zhao Guangyuan has more time to spend with his wife and children. I also went back to Hyundai to give a New Year's gift.

After Lin's father died, Lin's mother remarried, and Lin Zhaoxia returned less in Yu Hang's family. I didn't stay overnight again during the Chinese New Year. I can't see Lin Ma and Lin Yanran once or twice a year. But Lin Zhaoxia has not forgotten the human relationship.

After Lin's mother remarried, Lin Zhaoxia had less ties with her.

"Come back for a meal on Chinese New Year's Eve this year." Mother Lin said in the video. Next to him, Zhao Li also stretched out his head and nodded in agreement, inviting Zhao Guangyuan warmly.

Remembering that there was a Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet in the palace this year, and officials and family members above the fifth rank wanted to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, Lin Zhaoxia refused, "There are arrangements for Chinese New Year's Eve, and I can't leave." If we have time in the year, we will go to Yuhang to see you again. ”

Mother Lin's face was pale, "Why are you like this, Yanran said that if you don't come back for the New Year, the crew won't stop working, and you won't come back." "A few words of complaining.

"We really can't leave on Chinese New Year's Eve. I've sent you something, don't be reluctant to eat it, just contact us if you have something. ”

"Okay, got it, hang up."

The video was broken, Lin Zhaoxia looked at the phone screen, thinking that he and Lin's mother had become the most familiar strangers, and a sense of melancholy rose in his heart. She still doesn't like Zhao Li, and even her love for Mother Lin has become lighter.
