"It would be great if the world was peaceful..."
Sun Chuanting tried his best to sit up straight and looked at the thieves in front of him The distribution map was in a daze.
"If the world is at peace, Yun Zhao only suffers from scabies, and a small official from the Ministry of Punishment can catch him and bring him to justice..."
"If the world is at peace, people like Yun Zhao Maybe he will become an official?"
"The world is in chaos, people's minds are changing, the trunk is not long, and side branches cover the wild. This is the great disadvantage of the world..." "Those who serve as ministers are the masterminds and masters. Be loyal, plan for the world, spread your arms, and be famous forever!"
Sun Chuanting sat in the study until midnight, the map documents in front of him did not move at all, but his mind was like a running lantern, with countless thoughts. Coming in droves.
In the end, I couldn't help but shed tears and wet my clothes.
My wife, Mrs. Liu, walked in quietly. Seeing that the food on the dining table had not been touched with a chopstick, she said softly: "My lord, today I have some cornmeal that I brought from Xi'an." The officials will drink more of the thick porridge."
Sun Chuanting held his wife's cold hand and said, "I shouldn't have put you in Tongguan."
Liu smiled. Said: "If your husband wins, I will be safe and sound. If your husband loses, I will not be able to survive."
Sun Chuanting said guiltily: "This is my own selfishness. Tomorrow you will take your parents with you." The children returned to Xi'an."
Ms. Liu said in surprise: "My husband won't go back?"
Sun Chuanting said proudly: "Li Hongji is not worth your husband's trouble."
"In this case, I and my parents will stay in Tongguan."
Sun Chuanting sighed and said: "The bandits in Tongguan are attacking very urgently, and your husband has many ways to deal with it. , Just defeat the bandits.
The city of Xi'an is in danger, but your husband has no choice."
Ms. Liu said in confusion, when I was in Xi'an City, the merchants there. There are many, the market is rich in products, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is the best place among the places I have traveled with the master in these years. Even if it is not as prosperous as the capital, in my opinion, it is not far behind.
Why do officials say that the city of Xi'an is in danger? "
Sun Chuanting inserted his hands into his thick hair and groaned: "How can it not be dangerous if a huge city overturns in someone else's thoughts? ”
“Who? "
"Lantian County Magistrate Yunzhao! "
"Did the official make a mistake?
The people of Yunshi An once invited me to bathe in Tangyu. The crops grew very well along the way. Even the hillsides were covered with crops. Although the people were busy, they were not hungry, which was even more rare. There are prosperous industries there. When I passed by Caoshizi, I bought some tea for the officials. You drank it and said it was good.
At that time, the young man Yun Zhao was accompanying his mother. He was kind to his mother and filial to his son, and he was also very respectful to me.
He is a very knowledgeable and interesting young man., how did you become the thieves that your husband said could shake things up?
Sun Chuanting looked at his wife and said with a wry smile: "To this day, you have seen that wild boar spirit. As the governor of Shaanxi, your husband summoned him several times. He tried to avoid it in every possible way and never came once." ”
Ms. Liu covered her mouth and said with a smile: “My husband is not a person with official authority, and he doesn’t care about the common etiquette.
As far as I am concerned, at a young age, he has managed the place in an orderly manner, and the people are prosperous and healthy. It is reasonable for a young man to have such achievements and be a little arrogant.
In those days, weren’t officials also young and successful, looking at the sky with blank eyes and making people hateful?
If the mountain doesn’t come, it’s up to you. "
Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "After your husband and I defeat Li Hongji, we will go to the Yun family's lair together. I want to see what a dragon's pond and tiger's den it is! ”
Ms. Liu laughed and said, “My husband is joking.” "
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said; "I can't get it wrong! Yun Zhao is not only a wild boar spirit, he is also a tiger, a dragon, and even a poisonous snake hidden in the crevices of rocks. ”
Seeing that her husband’s obsession had become serious, Ms. Liu pushed the warm corn porridge forward and said, “The porridge is cold. Husband, please eat first.” "
Sun Chuanting picked up the porridge bowl and took a big sip and said: "This new grain is really good! "
"I begged some fine seeds from Yun's An people and sent them back to my hometown to be cultivated. Husband, please don't blame me.
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "This grain actually came from the capital Xu Guangqi, but no one paid much attention to it. It was not until Yun Zhao planted it on a large scale in Lantian County that he saw the good."
My Ming Dynasty has never lacked talents, it just lacks capable officials and officials who can serve the country and the people consistently.
There was nothing surprising about what Yun Zhao did in Lantian County, such as ordering wealthy households to reduce rents and taxes, and ordering wealthy households not to purchase land. The amount of land owned by wealthy households could only be reduced but not increased.
Lead the wealthy households to separate their family property from the land and switch to business. In this way, the damaged interests of the wealthy households are compensated, and no one makes trouble.
Those families who do not have land can take advantage of this opportunity to actively open up land, purchase land for themselves, and acquire excess land from wealthy families, leaving no more vacant land in Lantian County.
Then, Lantian County has countless grains.
Then, the wealthy households in Lantian County built countless shops in Xi'an City and Lantian County. The continuous influx of refugees in other places will become a cause of panic for officials. There are so many wealthy households in Lantian County. People needed tenants and laborers, and the refugees became treasures in Lantian County.
Last year when Lantian County coarse cloth was in great demand on the grassland, they would not let go of the old, weak, disabled, or fools as long as they could weave.
Madam, do you know how your husband and I felt when I saw hundreds of looms weaving in simple sheds in Lantian County? ”
Ms. Liu curled her lips and said: "When I and Yunshi An were riding in the same carriage to Tangyu, Yunshi An was still spinning a thread reel in his hand, and I also tried it. Not bad.
It’s his ability to make a county into a family.”
Sun Chuanting put down his chopsticks and said, “That’s the scary thing about the Yun family. The people were only grateful to the Yun family and had forgotten the existence of the imperial court."
Ms. Liu put the chopsticks into her husband's hand again and said, "It's not like I haven't paid taxes. Why do you still want me?"< /p>
"The boundary monument of Lantian County has reached the foot of Tongguan!"
"Oh, I know this. It was dug by the villagers themselves. Master, you are pitiful, pitiful Those villagers, the people of Lantian County are strong, and thieves dare not invade. As long as they are individuals, they know what to do. Why is no one tampering with the boundary markers of Huaxian County?
After all, Huaxian County is still a county? Ling is a coward and useless. If he was as strong as the magistrate of Lantian County and could protect his people, he would be so shameful as to dig up the boundary markers of Lantian County and put them in front of his house."
< p>Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "That's the truth."After taking two bites of food, Sun Chuanting slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at the woman who had been with him for half his life and also gave birth to his children and said: "You How much benefit did you get from the Yun family?"
Ms. Liu smiled and said, "I didn't get a penny, and you don't know the master's temperament. If you get a penny and a half from others, you You can divorce your concubine."
Sun Chuanting said: "Is this true? Are you really not taking advantage of Yunshi at all?"
Liu said with a smile: "Yunshi again. There was a caravan going to the grassland. I heard that there was a lot of profit there, so I used the master’s salary and grain to go to the grain store in Xi’an city to exchange it for silver, and gave it to Yun’s Anren to help me buy a batch of cotton cloth. , let shopkeeper Yun take it to the grassland to exchange for sheepskins, cowhide, mushrooms, mink skins, leather ropes, leather bags, and dried meat, and sell them in our shop. The profit will be six times that of entering and exiting. < /p>
I also want to wait for the master’s salary next year to buy a pottery pot and an iron pot, and let the Yun family’s caravan take it to the grassland. I heard Yun’s Anren said that this thing is more Make money!
Master, we have agreed that your salary is simply not enough to support a large family.
The dignified eldest daughter of the governor, Meng Yunshi. An Ren presented me with a mink fur coat, and she looked very fond of it. However, due to my tutor, I didn’t even dare to stretch out my hand, which made me feel distressed.
This time, I will be the one to wear it. I want to make a profit and buy the cotton at the market price. I don’t want the discount given by Yunshi Anren.
No matter what, you can’t ruin this deal!”
After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and immediately an innocent girl ran out from behind the pillar and stayed in Sun Chuanting's arms and refused to leave.
Sun Chuanting felt dizzy and felt stars flashing in front of his eyes. After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the kissing girl who was acting coquettishly in his arms.Daughter.
He almost gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Next...not...for...an example!"
Ms. Liu immediately broke into a smile after hearing this. Hua, stroked Sun Chuanting's back and said: "There must be no next time. Our family will have capital next time."
