Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Xichun asked again: "From now on, what are Brother Jin's plans?"

Jin Han directly recounted his experience of being rescued, "I also invited Yan Yang to the capital. With his example, His Majesty will also start to pay attention to maritime trade. I want to do this."

Xichun burst out with great enthusiasm in an instant, "Really? That's great, who are the main countries engaged in maritime trade now? Are there many secretly doing maritime business in our country? Which fleet can sail the farthest now? They Where have you been? What is the current maritime strength of those countries? What are the forces? What are the main cargoes?"

Xichun asked a long list of questions in one breath, and only after she finished asking did she feel that she had asked too much, and she was a little embarrassed, "I got emotional for a while, I'm laughing at you."

Jin Han smiled and said, "It seems that sister Mei is really interested in maritime trade."

Jinhan told Xichun everything he knew, and Xichun frowned after hearing this.

According to what Jin Han said, now is the golden age of maritime trade. If we don't catch up, there will be more and more countries like Qianxiang Country.

Jinhan saw Xichun pondering, and asked, "If sister Mei is interested, is she willing to come and help us in the future?"

Xichun thought about it seriously, "Forget it, I'm only interested in maritime trade, and I don't understand many things, and it will take a lot of time to learn from scratch, and now I have a lot of things in China."

Jin Han instantly thought of the cement road, "Sister Mei is talking about the cement road?"

Xichun nodded, "I heard a saying before that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Nowadays, road transportation is convenient, and the speed of people and goods transportation will also be accelerated. This will definitely speed up economic development, but our country is based on agriculture. If you suddenly develop the economy vigorously, you will inevitably neglect agriculture, which is not good."

Jin Han also understood, "So you are afraid that the imperial court will impose a series of restrictions on commerce to ensure agriculture?"

Xichun said: "But I don't want to restrict business, so I want to find a suitable way that can not only ensure that agriculture will not be affected, but also promote economic development."

Jinhan thought for a while and said: "The rapid economic development will inevitably lead to a large number of people abandoning agriculture and going into business. If both parties are not affected, the only way to ensure that a small amount of manpower is invested in agriculture and achieve the previous results."

Xichun said: "Not only achieve the previous effect, but also surpass it."

Xichun gave an example, "In ancient times, people slashed and burned. At that time, the grain yield of one mu of land was completely incomparable with the current yield. Later, there were technologies such as fertilizing and cultivating the land. Every farming technology came out, and the grain yield would increase. , It can be seen that the importance of farming technology, I want to start from this aspect, use better farming technology to reduce manpower and increase food production at the same time."

Jin Han nodded, "This idea is feasible, but it takes a long time, and the results are not necessarily good, and there are certain risks. If you want to increase food production in the short term, you can consider production and planting models such as mulberry fish ponds."

Xichun laughed, "This is what I thought of!"

Xichun said again: "Besides, one person counts the short, and two count the long. If a reward can be issued, as long as someone can propose a technology that is conducive to saving manpower for farming, then there will be rewards, and there will be a harvest. There is also Huangzhuang. If the grain is directly supplied to the palace, it must be a good variety, and using these seeds to optimize cultivation will definitely save a lot of time."

In previous years, every time the emperor offered auspiciousness on his birthday, the plump ears of rice would never be absent. This is the time to use auspiciousness!

The more Xichun thought about it, the more excited she became, and she wished she could produce hybrid rice right away.

Jinhan and Xichun spoke faster and faster. You spoke out your own ideas word by word, and even brought up the final large-scale planting, and what kinds of goods were traded by sea, and everyone was excited.

Jia Yimu came up with tea with a straight face, and changed the tea in front of the two of them. When changing the tea, he saw that the two were talking so hard that they didn't notice him at all, so he coughed twice.

Jinhan and Xichun turned to look at Jia Yi, their eyes full of doubts.

Xichun asked, "Uncle Jia, is your throat uncomfortable? Do you want to let Qi Po take a look?"

The corners of Jia Yi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xichun with resentment, "The master asked me to ask, does the county king want to stay for lunch?"

For lunch?

Xichun blinked, then turned to look at the sky, it was getting late.

Jin Han reacted in an instant, and coughed twice, "No need, my sister is still waiting for me in the mansion, I will go back later."

Xichun also understood that today she and Jin Han came to discuss their marriage, but...

Seeing that both of them had come to understand, Jia Yi withdrew.

Xichun and Jinhan looked at each other stupidly, and didn't know what to say.

In the end it was Jin Han who spoke first, "Hey, Jin Han came to the door today just for one thing, because I like you, so I want to ask you personally if you would like to marry me."

Xichun didn't expect Jin Han to hit a straight ball suddenly, his face turned red unconsciously, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Jin Han got up, saluted seriously and said: "My heart for Sister Mei can be learned from the world, and the sun and the moon can show it. If Sister Mei is willing to marry me, Jin Han will be the most precious love in this life. Sister Mei can give it to me. My chance?"

Xichun groaned, blushing and speechless.

Jin Han thought for a while and asked, "Sister Mei, our marriage has been completed now. If you don't want to, I will definitely not touch you. If it is a nominal couple, will you reject this marriage?"

Xichun nodded, then shook her head violently, seeing that Jinhan didn't understand, she finally whispered: "I reject this marriage, but I don't reject you, but..."

Jin Han was taken aback, then smiled, "I understand, this marriage was calculated by my mother and concubine in such a way. Sister Mei naturally rejects it, but she doesn't feel bad for me as a person, but it can't be said Xinyue, right?"

Xichun nodded awkwardly.

What Jin Han said is right, Xichun now feels blocked when she thinks about how this marriage came about, but she really can't hate Jin Han, after all Jin Han's whereabouts were unknown at the beginning, the marriage has nothing to do with him, But to say that she likes it, Xichun can only say that she has a good impression, but it is not to the extent that she likes it, and part of that good impression is due to her vanity.

Every day someone whispers in your ear that that person likes you, but he is still young, promising and handsome. If you listen to it a lot, you will naturally change your opinion of that person.

Jin Han smiled deeper, "Does that mean I still have hope?"

Xichun's face turned even redder.

Jin Han smiled and said, "Then sister Mei, consider me a friend first."

Xichun couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "Since brother Jin still has something to do, then I won't keep you, brother Jin, go slowly."

Looking at the back of Xichun leaving in a hurry, Jin Han finally couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the laughter from behind, Xichun paused, and then walked even faster.

The corners of Jia Jing's mouth twitched after hearing Jia Yi's words, "These two children..."

At that time, when someone came to report that the king of the county and the owner of the county had a very happy conversation, he thought that the two suddenly fell in love with each other, but in the end, he didn't know that the two were discussing state affairs.

Jia Yi said with a smile: "My lord, today I see that the county king has the same ambition as the princess. It seems that he will not be afraid to have nothing to say in the future, and the county king will not restrain the princess."

Jia Jing glanced at him, "Since this is the case, there is no need to get married, it's better to let them both be officials in the same dynasty. I don't think anyone can compare their dedication to the country and the people."

He talked endlessly about state affairs, but he became dumb when he talked about business affairs!

Jia Yi smiled and stopped talking.

Xichun's face was still red until Tanchun came back. Tanchun looked surprised, and touched Xichun's forehead with his hands, "Why is your face so red? But you got a cold?"

Xichun pulled Tanchun's hand down, "No, I'm just bored in this room."

Tanchun looked at her suspiciously, "Really?"

Xichun quickly said: "Of course it is true!"

Seeing that Tanchun still wanted to ask Xichun, he quickly changed the subject, "Why do you go out every day these days? Didn't you say that you would accompany me and my second sister?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "But Second Sister doesn't have time to talk to me, and you're busy all day, so I might as well go out for a walk and take a look at our shop."

Tanchun asked again: "By the way, I have met Miss Xue's family these few days.

Xichun thought for a while, "Xue Baochai or Xue Baoqin?"

Tanchun said: "It's Sister Baochai. She also manages a shop now, and she also goes out to do business. She also dresses up as a man like me, but not as well as I do. She can recognize her daughter at a glance. Teach her how to dress up."

Xichun said angrily, "You're still complacent, aren't you?"

Tan Chun laughed, "Naturally! You don't know, there is a young lady who is secretly looking at me today! If I were a man, I would definitely have a beautiful wife and beautiful maidservant in my arms, and I would be a famous flirt!"

Xichun was also amused, "The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes."

Tanchun said again: "Do you want to play with me tomorrow? Sister Baochai said that there is a Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing. There are two main Taoists in it. The younger one is about the same age as us, and he is the most elegant. The early plum blossoms are just in time, and it is a good place to have fun and calm down."

Xichun asked, "Are there many people?"

Tanchun shook his head, "Not many, most of the time, the two Kun Taoists and a few Taoist boys are there, and only a few female family members who are familiar with them occasionally go there to sit and sit. I also heard from Sister Baochai and went there again You’ve seen it, don’t worry.”

Xichun thought about it, nodded and agreed.

On the second day, the two went to the Taoist temple together, and Xichun nodded when she entered the door, "Looking at the scenery in this Taoist temple is unique, it feels a bit like a Jiangsu garden."

Tanchun is still wearing men's clothing today, "I didn't think so before, but it's true when you say that today."

The two went to the main hall again, only to hear the sound of sutra recitation coming from inside, and a girl in Taoist uniform saluted them, "The main road is doing morning lessons, if the ladies are interested, you can go to the plum forest to enjoy the plum blossoms. Last night There has been a light snowfall, and this morning is the best time to enjoy plum blossoms, and the path in the plum grove has also been cleaned."

Tanchun nodded and said yes, and said to the girl: "This is my younger sister. I heard that the two Taoist priests practiced here, so I wanted to come to pay a visit. I also ask the two Taoist priests to meet when they are free."

The girl said yes, so she asked someone to lead them to the plum grove to enjoy the plum blossoms.
