Chapter 296: The True Meaning of Hard Work
Yan Mu'an didn't know the bustle of the capital, and he didn't know the situation of the widow king, but he only knew that Yongcheng was like a big construction site, and the people who should have been at home and had no income earned hard money this winter, which slightly improved the situation at home.
A series of actions a year ago, after the year, she chose to recuperate, digest slowly, and live more and more leisurely.
Governor Yang, who was full of energy, came to Yan Mu'an again before the New Year was over, wanting to see if there were any other errands arranged.
"Don't be in a hurry, those things in the past year need to be supported by silver, the people need to recuperate, and every family in the city also needs it, so don't be in a hurry."
The meaning of these words was clear to Governor Yang, all the families in the city had blood a year ago, and the government had harvested a wave, so they had to ask people to return the blood, and they couldn't be forced too quickly.
"What the princess said is that the roads and bridges that began to be built a few years ago will take some days to complete, and the spring ploughing is approaching, which is a major event that cannot be delayed, and now it is most important to recuperate, not to mention that it takes time for us to dig canals and reservoirs, as long as we take our time."
Yan Mu'an nodded, "Before, the emperor didn't give the law of farming and increasing production to all places, or to implement it, the things that benefit the people are all big things, and they can't be sloppy, in my opinion, then Lord Yang can put his energy on the merchants, Yongcheng is blessed with a unique location, extending in all directions, fertile fields for thousands of miles, if you govern with heart, there will be a more prosperous scene." ”
"The wharf outside the city is spacious, the merchant ships come and go frequently, but it still has not reached the trend of hundreds of boats competing for the current, the capital has been opened to widen the river since last winter, to facilitate the passage of large ships, this is a good opportunity for many merchants, Lord Yang can make some articles in this regard, such a big Yongcheng, so many fertile fields, will always produce some novel things, if there can be Lord Yang to lead the rich people to fat the merchants, the final benefit is the imperial court, it is also a great achievement."
After the farmer's business is done, it is natural to grasp the business part, and making money is definitely not to squeeze the rich, it is only a temporary measure.
Yang Zhifu thought about it seriously, what the princess said was similar to the method proposed by Master Qian, the farmers naturally only need to rely on them to grow food, and the merchants can't let go, these are the main forces to make money, they make more money and the government earns more, and he still has several ideas that need silver to realize, so you can't choose to go to the merchant when you encounter something, right?
Robbing the rich and helping the poor can be done once in a while, not all the time.
"Thank you, Princess, for the point."
Yan Mu'an smiled, "The palace originally wanted to recruit people to be responsible for these things, but the recruitment situation is not optimistic, and Lord Yang is outstanding, so the palace will not recruit this person, and Lord Yang will have to work hard in the future." ”
Originally, he wanted to build a small court in the palace, but the situation has changed, and the plan will naturally change with it.
Governor Yang stood up and bowed his hand, "The next official will live up to the princess's trust." ”
God, it turned out that the palace really wanted to put it in the air before, but fortunately he woke up quickly enough.
As soon as Governor Yang left Yan Mu'an, she became idle again, but she didn't want to go out of the mansion to pass the time, first, there were people outside who wanted to be unfavorable to her, and secondly, there was really no scenery outside that could attract her, but she had seen too many people with good scenery, and ordinary scenery was difficult to enter her eyes, mainly because the road was difficult.
It's better to nest in the palace, wear the most beautiful clothes, wear the best jewelry, and enjoy the most beautiful flowers, as long as she wants, what beautiful flowers outside she can't see in the mansion?
She lived in a large garden room, and there were five gardeners alone.
"Princess, the gardener came to say that the pot of flowers that the princess gave you survived, and you still have teeth every day in the greenhouse."
The pot of blue flowers that Yongchang gave her before, she brought it here from the capital, and she was half-dead, and she was about to die in winter, so she handed it over to the florist to rescue.
"Check it out."
There is a courtyard in the palace, which is the place where the gardeners of the palace cultivate flowers and plants, and when you walk in, you can see that there are piles of fertilized soil and empty flower pots are neatly arranged.
The so-called conservatory is a house built in the courtyard, which is extremely spacious and bright, in addition to two rows of shelves full of flower pots, there is also a piece of land that has been turned out, and there are flowers that Yan Mu'an can't name.
"Princess, please see, this flower is really special, there are only two leaves, and the leaves have a faint fragrance when they are stretched."
The gardener pointed to the flowers that had been planted in the soil, and Yan Mu'an took a closer look, "It's special, but I don't know what it is?" ”
"Can you live in a conservatory?"
"Already alive."
Yan Mu'an felt strange, "This flower was originally born on the mountain, or on the outskirts of Beijing, the capital is colder than Yongcheng, which shows that this flower likes cold, how can it survive in the greenhouse?" ”
The gardener is experienced, and said that it is possible that this flower does not like the cold in the first place, and it is difficult to survive in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, otherwise why did the prince only pick this one plant, and did not find anything else?
Yan Mu'an felt that it made sense, "Take care of it, this flower is still very beautiful when it blooms." ”
The important thing is that the flowers smell very pleasant after they bloom and bloom for up to a month.
Turning his head, he saw a pot of chrysanthemums on the shelf, in average condition, looking malnourished, and the gardener hurriedly said that it was a cultivated green chrysanthemum, but it was not successful, "only a little bit of green." ”
"Don't rush, take your time."
Out of the greenhouse, Yan Mu'an is going to go to the garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums, the gardener said that the whole palace has more than 600 pots of chrysanthemums of various categories, Yan Mu'an was in a hurry before, and now he is ready to take a look, it is said that the former Cixi had three or four thousand pots of chrysanthemums, compared to her is still a big gap.
Just to enjoy the flowers, followed by four waiting girls, as well as Fulai and his apprentices waiting to run errands, Luo Hui led people to walk at the back, and even the florist was also waiting on the side, after all, I wanted the princess to know what kind of flower it was and what characteristics it was.
In the pavilion not far away, there is already a mother-in-law who has set up tea and snacks and a charcoal basin, so that Yan Mu'an, who is tired of shopping, can sit down and rest at any time.
Yan Mu'an enjoyed this kind of day very much, and felt that this was the true meaning of her efforts, of course, it would be good if she was accompanied by the widow king.
When Mrs. Wei came, she saw this formation from a distance, and the envy in her eyes flashed, and then she stepped forward to ask for peace with a smile.
Yan Mu'an turned his head, "You're welcome, Mrs. Wei come and take a look at this pot of flowers, this flower is called Huang Chaohai, the flower bowl is so big, and the yellow is a little green, which is really good." ”
Mrs. Wei immediately leaned up to appreciate it carefully, and then began to admire, "It's really extraordinary, and the name is good, but the palace cultivates?" I haven't seen it from the outside. ”
The chrysanthemums in this garden are not to mention a few hundred pots, and every time she comes, she can have a new understanding of the wealth of the palace.
