Chapter 165: Coming to Qingyuan County Again
According to what Han Lao said, Emperor Yongxing's encirclement and banning King Yan in the mansion is a means to protect King Yan.
Anyway, in the future, when the situation gradually subsides, as long as Emperor Yongxing makes a holy decree, King Yan can walk outside openly.
The matter of Fengcheng had no effect on King Yan.
But with Chen Chao's temperament, it is naturally impossible to let go of King Yan so easily.
You have your plan, I have my ladder over the wall!
If you want to come, come a ruthless one!
Step on the soles of your feet and rub them hard.
Let him know what kind of enemy he is facing.
At the same time, the news of Emperor Yongxing's secret meeting with Murong Chong particularly attracted the attention of the Chen Dynasty, what did the two talk about?
After Han Lao left, Chen Chao thought alone for a long time.
Soon, a perfect plan took shape in my mind.
For the sake of this plan, Chen Chao didn't mind taking a risk on his own, which would create a lot of opportunities for his opponents.
As long as the other party takes the bait, Chen Chao will definitely be uprooted!
On the second day after returning to Beijing, Chen Chao only met with Han Lao, and then spent the whole day playing with Tangbao and being a competent father.
"Poor haha, Yaksha, Harry Potter flies on a broomstick, Sao Rui!"
"Poor... Sweep Runun...."
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the cheerful songs of the father and daughter echoed.
It wasn't until the sun passed noon that Song Qingwan, who had fallen asleep, gradually woke up, her body became more and more paralyzed, and she felt that her bones were falling apart.
Chen Chao was very sorry for this.
Song Qingwan's body is indeed weak, it seems that she needs to be careful and restrained in the future, at least she can't leave any shadow in Song Qingwan's heart in this matter.
.....
.....
Early in the morning three days later, Chen Chao led several people to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in disguise.
Get on the carriage and leave the capital and rush to Qingyuan County.
In the year when he was not in Beijing, the official roads leading to the capital from the counties around the capital were all replaced with cement roads, which greatly facilitated the daily travel of the people.
After noon, the group arrived near Nanshan in Qingyuan County, Chen Chao lifted the curtain and looked out, the surroundings of Nanshan have changed greatly, not close to Nanshan, the fragrance of wine is permeated, and it does not disperse for a long time.
Not only Nanshan, but also several low hills in the vicinity have also built sake breweries, and workers are busy shuttling around them.
At the foot of the mountain, the convoy of liquor is far in sight.
To this end, several small trading bazaars have been built and managed in a unified manner.
It is impossible to estimate how much profit can be generated in this.
The convoy went directly into the manor where the Chen Dynasty originally lived, which had been bought by the Prime Minister for money, and someone came to clean it every once in a while.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Chen Chao saw a familiar figure in the nearby field, and at the same time Chen Chao looked over, the old peasant wearing a hat, straw sandals, and a hoe in his hand in the field also looked over to this side.
The old peasant squinted, the wrinkles on his face became more and more prominent, and when he saw Chen Chao's face clearly, he grinned from the bottom of his heart, showed his teeth, and walked over to this side.
Chen Chao stopped, stopped where he was, and waited.
"I haven't seen you for more than a year, but I've come back...... old farmer is very happy.
"Yes, it's back."
"Outside the staff, how many days will you come and stay?" The old farmer tried to ask.
Chen Chao shook his head, "When you see a few people, leave immediately." ”
"Oh."
Hearing this, the old peasant couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
The old peasant was none other than the first person Chen Chao saw when he came to Qingyuan County.
The old farmer's surname was An, and if I remember correctly, he also had a clever little grandson who liked to read.
After a year, the old peasant became younger and stronger than he had seen before, and his living conditions improved a lot.
While the few lieutenants who were still in the barracks had not yet arrived, Chen Chao might as well talk to Old Man An a few more words, which could be regarded as understanding the people's livelihood in advance, and playing a role in suggesting the adjustment of Qingyuan County's development plan in the future.
"How is your family doing now?"
Chen Chao got straight to the point and asked directly.
Old man An arched his hands awkwardly, grinned and bent down to make a big salute to Chen Chao, perhaps he had never saluted so solemnly before.
It also shows his respect for the Chen Dynasty from the side.
Old man An bent his waist deeply, and it took a long time to straighten his waist, and he grinned and said:
"The blessing of the grandfather, our whole family is grateful to the grandfather, the son and daughter-in-law have come back from other places, and our family is living very well now."
Chen Chao waved his hand and asked Hou Ji to take out two stools and put them at the gate of the manor.
Under the warm invitation of Chen Chao, Old Man An excused himself several times before he sat down a little restrainedly.
Where did he think that he could sit down and chat with the grandfather?!
It's a dream scene.
The sun is literally coming out in the west......
"You're still farming?"
"If you go back to the staff, you are planting and planting, and you have dealt with the land all your life, and you can't give it up if you want to." While Old Man An sat down, he still did not forget his old man, and gently leaned the hoe into his arms.
"How many acres of land are planted, and how much is the harvest?" Chen Chao asked casually.
Old man An responded truthfully: "I planted six acres of land, too much, I can't plant it alone, my unsuccessful son is a restless one, ask him to come over to help me farm, it is better to kill him." Although six acres of land is a lot, but the yield is not high, the grandfather also knows that we have sandy land in Qingyuan County, and there is no grain growing in the field, and we work hard all year round, and we can beat up to one stone of grain per acre. ”
One stone is about 120 catties, and Old Man An can get more than 700 catties of grain every year.
And after a year of hard work, more than 700 catties of food were only enough for him to eat.
No wonder, no one wants to stay in Qingyuan County to make a living.
If you can't eat enough, how can you survive.
Thinking of this, Chen Chao hurriedly asked:
"And now? Nanshan Distillery has been open for more than a year, and the treatment and wages there are good, much better than farming, why don't you go there to work? ”
Speaking of this, Old Man An stood up and made a big bow to Chen Chao again.
Show your gratitude.
Only then did he say happily: "I went, on the day the winery was built, my son came back from out of town and went to work in the winery...... Last month, my son also boasted that he could get 40 yuan a day, which is much more than what he earns outside. ”
Chen Chao smiled.
Before I came, how many people in Qingyuan County were in the same situation as Old Man An?! Young people go out to earn a living, leaving only the elderly at home, and family members do not see each other for many years.
Such a scene was very common in Qingyuan County in the past.
But now, Chen Chao sees that his efforts are paying off.
Old man An's family was reunited and couldn't help but be happy for them.
When Chen Chao was about to speak again, Hou Ji came to him and whispered:
"Xiangye, Xu and Li have arrived ......"
