Han Ji didn't answer this, reluctantly, so he didn't hear it.

The drizzle falls on the oil-paper umbrella, the rain gathers together, and falls down the umbrella pole, and looks into the distance along the clear raindrops, and the white expanse is ethereal, the rain and fog are ethereal, the roof chimney seems to be covered with a veil of water, and the voice of the voice in the wall is faint, with an ethereal color. Stepping on the wet and soft sand, stepping on the toes and lifting up, There is more rustling sound of sand and gravel rubbing in the wind, Haizhu walked out of the alley with an umbrella, and walked in the direction of the official mansion.

Han Ji silently followed, walking on her right front, standing in the direction of the sea breeze, the cold drizzle was slanted, and the water droplets on the edge of the umbrella fell on the pale cyan robe.

There was no one walking on the street, and the sound of the pipa leaked from the teahouse, so Haizhu slowed down and said loudly: "You and your father-in-law have strategists around you to give advice, and my advice may not be as useful as their plans, so you can simply listen to them." ”

"Don't be humble, the counselors around me are not as good as you."

Haizhu wanted to laugh, but she turned her head and pursed her lips and smiled, wanting him to be normal, but she was afraid that he would talk about other messy things. She was a little unscrupulous when she found out that he showed his intentions, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"To be serious, when it comes to Guangnan and Chang'an, the difference between the two is very big, compared to opening the people's wisdom, I think the most important thing is to improve people's livelihood, everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation are guaranteed, you can eat well and dress well, and you have money in your hand, so you will have the heart to think about something else." In fact, the economic base determines the superstructure, for example, now, most people worry about going out to sea to fish and catch the sea at low tide, and the children who can walk and run are all handy, either washing and cooking at home, or busy drying salted fish and washing kelp to replenish fishing nets, or private schools are set up, and there are not many children who can sit in the school hall with nothing to do.

"There are too few literate people in Guangnan, and people from the government may not be able to understand a newspaper together. Han Ji explained.

Haizhu nodded, the private school should be set up, she continued: "I mean don't fall into commercial development, business can also be started, we have a development advantage by the sea, that is, there is a vast sea, there is inexhaustible wealth in the sea, and the sea cannot be sold locally, but it can be shipped out." The families with merchant ships were all local clans, and they monopolized business, and the rich got richer and the poor stayed poor. The government can go out to develop commerce and trade and run farther away, so that local people can go to other places to do business at the lowest cost, so that foreign businessmen can have more opportunities to come. ”

Han Ji understood, he was a little excited in his heart, before he was still thinking about how to make the sailors who had no battle useful, if the imperial court did not give military funds one day, it would be a problem for tens of thousands of people to eat and drink. The idle official ships were sent out to do business, the soldiers who were good at water warfare followed the boats, and the seafood pressed by the fishermen was sold, and the fishermen became rich, and the government also made money.

"Great idea!" Han Ji raised his hand to pat the person who came up with the idea encouragingly, and when he saw the other party's face clearly, he scratched his neck and clutched his hands behind his back.

"It's a very good idea, I'll arrange for someone to start handling it when I get back to Fucheng." He said happily, looking at Haizhu with a little expectation, and continued to ask: "What else is the suggestion of "casual talk"? ”

"No, I'm not doing this full-time." Walking to the door of the pork shop, Haizhu stopped, she rubbed her fingers, put her hand in front of Han Ji, and said: "I remembered the word military advisor, when I asked me to accept the jade pendant before, how much money did you give me every month?" I didn't receive a penny. ”

The smile on Han Ji's face froze, and in the next moment, he pulled the money bag on his waist and handed it over, and said, "My negligence, my negligence, I will make up for it now, and I will send it to you on time at the end of every month in the future." ”

Haizhu glanced at him, calmly accepted the money bag, she glanced at the sky, and said in a send-of-life tone: "Okay, you go, I'm going to buy meat and go back to cook." ”

It was indeed not early, and there were still important things to talk about tonight, Han Ji did not hesitate, raised his legs and walked past her to the street, walked a few steps and turned around and asked, "Do you want to go to Fucheng with me?" Let your ingenuity do its work, and I'll give you an official position on the surface. ”

When the pork guy's lady came out and heard this, she looked at the people on the road in surprise, and suspected that she had heard poorly from tinnitus, and what surprised her even more was that Haizhu waved her hand and refused.

"Any more pork?" Haizhu walked into the pork shop.

"Yes, there are still about ten pounds." The lady of the pork guy came back to her senses, doing business is the most important, she went back to the shop to bring pork, the sharp blade was sharpened, and the meat was hung on the scale hook, a little more than two catties.

"It's good to count two catties, the leftover meat in the morning, it's been a day, it's not very fresh." The woman who moved quickly poked a hole in the meat with the tip of her knife, tied it with thatch and knotted itch and handed it to Haizhu, and after receiving the money, she asked curiously: "Why didn't you agree to the young general?" As an official, I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. ”

"It's too low, and it's not as much as I make from fishing." Haizhu laughed, she picked up the meat and walked out, "You're busy, I'll go back to cooking." ”

What she said is just based on the insights of her previous life, and it is not difficult to give two sentences, so that she can make real achievements, she does not have that ability, neither the ability to lead her subordinates, nor the execution of implementation. What's more, she has a life she likes, and she changed her way to become an official halfway, and she is a real person who replaces a donkey to grind tofu and suffers from it.

When I got home, there was already a fire in the kitchen, and Grandma Qi turned her head to look over and said, "I'm back." ”

"Well, I bought knife meat and fried meat at night." Haizhu scooped two scoops of water into the basin, soaked the meat in the water, and said, "I'll fry the meat later, the meat is not fresh, and I want to stir-fry it with peppercorns." ”

"I'll fry it." Dongzhu moved, "Sister, I'll fry meat, and you will guide me on the side." ”

"I won't let you do it when I'm at home, and you'll have a chance when I'm not at home." Haizhu put her arm around her sister's shoulders and pulled her out, "Let's go, I got a money bag, show you how much money you have." ”

Grandma Qi silently watched the two sisters go out laughing, she believed in Haizhu, and she didn't ask if she had an idea in her heart, she just didn't know. The person is known by Haizhu, and the relationship is made by Haizhu, and whether he is willing to nod and accept Han Ji's pursuit is also Haizhu's own business.

There are two hundred taels of silver tickets and a silver ingot in the money bag, and a number of broken silver, and those who see it have a share, and Haizhu divides the broken silver to the wind and tide and the winter pearl.

"Sister, do you want the money bag?" Dongzhu asked on the table.

The money bag is made of brocade, which is slightly cool to the touch, and there is a white crane embroidered on it, Haizhu picked up the money bag and handed it to her, saying, "Give it, you can use it." ”

Dongzhu grinned, she took out all the silver and copper plates she had saved, and used up the money she had saved when she bought a gold bracelet for her grandmother last year, and now she has saved more than three taels, and she put them in her money bag.

Feng Ping and Chao Ping looked at it with a blank eye, they also liked this money bag, but they only looked at it and didn't ask for it.

"Haizhu, the porridge is cooked, you can stir-fry." Grandma Qi shouted.

"I'll help you light the fire." Feng Ping ran out one by one.

"Chaoping went to see the third uncle and three aunts to bake the cake, and when the cake was baked, come over to eat." Haizhu walked out.

Chaoping first went back to the house and threw the broken silver into the clay pot, and then ran out.

When the rain stopped during the meal, Qi Laosan moved the table to the courtyard, the courtyard door was closed, and it was not cold to sit in the courtyard and drink hot porridge.

"Will you go to sea tomorrow?" Qi Laosan asked.

Haizhu looked up at the sky and said, "Let's talk about it for two sunny days, it's raining and the cliff cave is damp, and it's not safe to climb." ”

"Then I will go out to fish tomorrow, it has rained for two days, and the firewood has been burned, so I will take the time to chop two truckloads of firewood and bring it back." Qi Laosan has been to the deep sea, but he still doesn't dare to go to the deep sea alone with a fishing boat to cast nets to fish, he doesn't dare to be strong, and he doesn't want to be strong, Bei Niang will be born in two or three months, he is really afraid that something will happen to him at this time. He lost his father at the age of two, and he didn't want his children to be fatherless from an early age.

Haizhu just wanted to say that she also went to sea to fish, so she heard her grandmother say: "It's cold these days, don't go to the sea, go out for a walk when you're free." ”

"Oh." Haizhu knocked on the table and said, "Let's go to the sea tomorrow morning, I want to eat pike crabs." ”

"No, I'm going to sell bread, I'm not going with you." Dongzhu shook her head.

Bei Niang also shook her head, Feng Ping hesitated, and said, "The fire can't leave me." ”

"Whoever asks you, I'll go myself." Haizhu rolled her eyes.

Second Uncle Qi chuckled twice.

……

Three days later, in the early morning, Haizhu and Dongzhu were about to go out to pry oysters, when there was a sudden sound of gongs on the street, and the gongs were getting closer and closer. What gong is struck at dawn? ”

The official in a soap coat appeared at the mouth of the alley, and the words suppressed by the sound of the gong became clear, "Men, women, and children, all those who can walk and move go to the dock, and the pavilion chief has something to announce." ”

"What's the matter?" Someone asked.

"It's a good thing, just go."

Haizhu and Dongzhu guessed that it was probably related to the private school, and the people with smart news also knew it, and everyone came out of the alley one after another, and the people who knew each other walked together, and walked to the dock with their families like a temple fair.

Restaurants on the street are still open for business, and vendors who set up stalls to sell food have also seized the opportunity to sell food, steaming steamed buns and steamed rice cakes, and selling oysters without oysters selling salty pastries.

"What to do! Anxious to eat for a while? "The official is coming to drive people away," It's almost over, the pavilion chief and the major general are already waiting. ”

"Second Brother Han hasn't left yet?" Dongzhu asked.

Haizhu didn't know, she thought he had left early, and the official ship on the dock had already left, but she didn't know if the boat was gone and the people didn't leave, or if the people left and came over.

There are a lot of people on the dock, and they are still pouring to this side one after another, and the good position at the front has been occupied, Haizhu took the whole family to the boat, and stood on the second floor to see clearly.

The crowd was dense, and there were still people walking in the village in the distance, and Haizhu suddenly realized that there were quite a few people living in the town.

Three gongs sounded, and another official maintained order, and the dock soon fell silent.

"I disturbed everyone's good dreams early in the morning, and there is really good news to tell you, the major general has set up a private school at the dock, and children who have reached the age of five can be sent to the private school to read and write." The pavilion chief stood on the official ship and announced loudly.

The crowd below sounded noisy talking, Han Ji's gaze swept over the crowd, the faces of the few people wearing muslin cloth appeared with joy, and most of them looked numb, and even a kind of indifference with disappointment. They should have been expectant when they stepped out of the house, and when they heard the news, they were probably disappointed and tired.

Han Ji looked away at the sea, the two boats were not far apart, Feng Ping and Dongzhu took the little discovery and looked at him, and the three of them waved excitedly.

"I'll tell you." He interrupted the pavilion chief's words, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "In addition to teaching children to read and write, I also invited the old sailor to explain the changes in the heavens, and there are also experienced old fishermen who go to sea, and they will tell their experience of going to sea in the private school, and how to identify the direction according to the wind direction and current at sea......

Those numb faces loosened, silent eyes lit up, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the excited laughter finally converged, and Han Ji even saw someone raise their hands to wipe their tears.

The official picked up the hammer and was about to strike the gong, Han Ji raised his hand and pressed it, he looked at the faces of the living beings with a smile, and when they had enough of discussion, he continued: "Men, women, and children can go to the private school to listen to the class, and bring a stool to the school, just like rushing to the temple fair, you have experience in this, I won't say more." ”

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Haizhu looked at Han Ji with her legs, the person who practiced martial arts was full of energy, her voice was loud, her words were a little funny, and her voice was in her ears, tickling her heart.

The laughter turned low, and Han Ji said: "Every month is the opening day of the old fishermen, and every Friday is the day when the old water official teaches, and the specific matters are arranged by the pavilion chief. Finally, let me introduce you to the person who came up with this idea......"

Haizhu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stood up straight.

"People over there, the girl in red clothes on the boat, she is Qi Haizhu. She often goes to sea and knows the dangers of the sea, and she told me that it is more important for people who live by the sea to survive than to read, and she proposed to hire experienced fishermen to teach everyone how to save lives at sea. ”

Dongzhu's face flushed with excitement, she grinned, she applauded her sister happily, and the people on the dock slapped one after another.

The applause overshadowed the sound of the ebbing tide, and Haizhu's face was hot, and she couldn't help but be happy.

Feng Ping and Chaoping clapped their hands very hard, their eyes lit up when they looked at Haizhu, and pride rose in their hearts, this is their eldest sister.

Qi Laosan and Grandma Qi were trembling with excitement, their legs were trembling, Bei Niang smiled, she helped her mother-in-law to sit down, she was really happy for Haizhu.

Chapter 143: Ambiguous

The improvised rally was dispersed, Dong Zhu followed Feng Ping to the beach to pry oysters, and Qi Laosan took the rest of the people back first.

The people were almost scattered, Haizhu got off the boat, Han Ji sent the pavilion chief and the sailor and his party, He strode towards Haizhu, and when he got closer, he saw that her earlobes were dyed, and he asked with a smile, "Are you happy?" ”

Haizhu nodded, "It doesn't feel bad." ”

"Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to breakfast."

"It's time for me to invite you."

Why? To thank me? Han Ji took the lead in walking down the street, with one hand behind his back, tilting his head and saying, "This is what I should do, if this idea is proposed by my advisor, his reputation will also spread." ”

It is very rare, first, it is rare for him to be open-minded, not to take credit or stingy, and second, it is rare for him not to look down on women. Haizhu walked behind him and stared at him, she was so glad to have come to this era to know him.

Han Ji didn't hear the response and turned his head, grabbing the gaze that peeked at him, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Haizhu subconsciously lowering his eyelids to dodge.

"You're peeking at me." He picks it out.

Haizhu pinched the tip of her nose and didn't refute.

"What are you trying to peek at me?" He asked.

Haizhu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Look at a fly on your back." ”

Han Ji let out a "heh" and sneered: "You just continue to pretend to be confused." ”

"Then why do you think I'm peeking at you?"

Han Ji was speechless, he stared at her, and said forget it.

Walking into the restaurant, the guy greeted him: "Young General, the restaurant doesn't fire in the morning, the little one goes to the morning restaurant to buy you some food and send it upstairs?" ”

"Okay, open me a private room." Han Ji went upstairs.

The private room faces the street, the windows are opened, and the sound of talking on the street is carried by the wind, and the pedestrians are discussing the private school, and occasionally someone mentions Haizhu's name.

"The idea of doing business you mentioned before has been adopted after discussion, but I will not announce your name in this matter, and breaking the monopoly of private ship business by official ships is bound to offend some people, so as not to trouble you with a long time." Han Ji whispered.

Haizhu nodded, she had no opinion.

The ambiguous atmosphere before was still there, and the two fell silent, and the quiet atmosphere in the private room made people's palms sweat. Running the hall brought the freshly brewed tea, Han Ji calmly made the tea, he took the teacup and put it in Haizhu's hand, and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll wait for the day when you are willing to let go." ”

Sensing that Haizhu's attitude towards him had changed, Han Ji slowed down his offensive, worried that he would be annoying again if he was in a hurry.
