The husband is a love brain

Achievements from heaven, the prefect of Qinzhou Prefecture received an order from the emperor to supervise the construction of the Weaving Bureau, and immediately recruited skilled craftsmen to build the government office of the Weaving Bureau.

The prefect of Qinzhou was full of affection for Zhao Shutong who sent him his achievements, and wrote a somewhat disgusting letter of thanks to Zhao Shutong.

Zhao Shutong is not too cold in the officialdom.To the sincere letters from the magistrate, he also replied some letters dryly praising the magistrate for his wisdom and hard work.

Zhao Shutong also received an award from the emperor.

Not long after Zhao Shutong took office in Ganlong County, the emperor did not promote him to an official position for the time being, and rewarded him with ten thousand taels of silver, some cloth, jewelry, and rare treasures.

Before the wool shop in the capital was handed over, all the accounts were sorted out, and the three companies that had invested in the shares before autumn were still paid as usual, and Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi received another 20 taels of dividends.

Pei Qi set aside the 15 taels for Xu Wenlan next year, and asked his mother to buy him a Zhuangzi and land in the capital for the remaining 5 taels.

It has been more than two years since Pei Qi married into Zhao's family, and they haven't bought an office property yet. Now that the family population is simple, Zhao Shutong doesn't care that Pei Qi is in charge of the money, so he can still do so.When there are more children and grandchildren in the family in the future, Pei Qi can't pay back the monthly payment. If people outside find out, they might even laugh at their small family for having no rules.

Zhao Shutong doesn't want to monopolize the future of his grandson and great-grandson, but he is dedicated to Zhao Zhuxin's son and the children who will be born in the future.

It happens that I have earned such a large sum of money, instead of taking up space at home, it is better to buy land and supply it to the public in the future.

Whatever Zhao Shutong said, Pei Qi agreed.

In the future, Xiao Sweet Potato will go out to live with his wife. As parents, they must not be stingy with money and property.

Second brother Pei Qi returned to Beijing when his release period expired this autumn. The weaving bureau has not yet been built, and the official cabinet is under discussion. Will enter the Weaving Bureau in the future.

Except that the owner of Pei's shop was changed to the emperor, and the person who mastered wool washing and dyeing technology was changed to a more secret and safe place, everything else remained the same.There is still a lot of traffic, and there are countless businessmen coming and going. The daily transactions make people drool but can't reach out.

"That old man Pei Shen wasn't quite upright back then, but now that the emperor is the emperor, he is flattering the emperor." The king of Chu who was far in the northwest continued to catch Pei Shangshu and continued to criticize.

"My lord, be careful." Mr. Cai reminded him that although the emperor is the elder brother of the king of Chu, it is disrespectful for the king of Chu to criticize the emperor behind his back.

"Sir, I was attacking that old bastard Pei Shen, but I didn't mention Brother Huang."

"My lord, you are jealous of Pei Shangshu's luck."

"I'm jealous of him? When this king was born, he stood at a height that no one else could reach in his lifetime. Pei Shen is not worthy of this king's envy."

"That's holding grudges. My lord, it's been five or six years, why are you still thinking about it?" Mr. Cai said helplessly.

"What is this king thinking about? This king is just watching Pei Shen's jokes. You had a lot of backbone when you didn't give this king convenience. Now you have slapped him in the face. His eldest son was promoted because of his brother-in-law. He I was promoted to Shangshu because of his brother-in-law, and now the second son is also, the whole family eats soft food really delicious." King Chu tutted.

Ever since Pei Shangshu presented sweet potatoes for his brother-in-law, in the eyes of outsiders, he could no longer take off the hat of the emperor's lucky minister and favored minister.

The king of Chu, who was thousands of miles away, thought so, not to mention the court ministers, and even in the emperor's heart, Pei Shangshu was the number one to solve his problems.

Only Pei Shangshu himself insisted that he was a pure minister, a pure minister, and a loyal minister.But because the emperor preferred to let Prime Minister Rong take over the position of prime minister after he stepped down, Qingliu didn't believe that he was with them.

Pei Shangshu felt bitter, but he couldn't find anyone who could understand him.As soon as he complained to others, they would think that this old thing was cheap and good-looking, showing off that he had a promising brother-in-law, but they didn't like to listen to him.

In short, those who couldn't fight against Pei Shangshu all attacked him with one voice on Qingliu's reputation that he cared most about.

"The matter of the second master of the Shangshu family just happened at the right time." Even if he didn't go to the weaving bureau, relying on the Pei family's operation, Pei Yu could still find a good job in the capital.

But your imperial brother wishfully regarded the Pei family as his confidants, and transferred Pei Yu to the Weaving Bureau in order to make his own money bag so that he could reach out to the Weaving Bureau in the future.

The emperor's private treasury has just been half full due to the wool business. The Pei family and the Zhao family donated the wool shop to him. The emperor did not say that he would give his share to the court. How could he not extend his hand? There must be a part of the money earned by the weaving bureau It is to flow into the internal storage.

After such an analysis, Mr. Cai felt that the Pei family succeeded and failed his brother-in-law, and Qingliu's reputation was in jeopardy.

Although Mr. Cai thought so, it was all his guess and he never said it to King Chu.

The prince has been idle recently, so he has been paying attention to the affairs of the Pei family, "My lord, it was found in the southwest that a wealthy merchant was smuggling sweet potatoes to the Qiang people. Would you like to come and sit in the town? The sweet potatoes are in the hands of the Qiang people. Their people, cattle and horses, we will suffer in the end.”

The king of Chu got angry immediately, "These bastards have only had a few days of good life, and the scars are healed and the pain is forgotten."

The king of Chu knew that it was impossible to stop the smuggling of sweet potatoes.

With a yield of [-] catties of grain per mu, the Qiang people, even if they are nomads, can't help being tempted.

However, the later the Qiang people planted sweet potatoes, the more beneficial they were to Daqi, and they could buy more time to strengthen their soldiers and horses.

In view of the great harm of this smuggling case, the king of Chu hastily dealt with the smuggling matter.

The affairs of the Weaving Bureau attracted much attention, but Zhao Shutong, who was supposed to be at the center of the vortex, was in a state of retirement.Zhao Shutong originally wanted to win over the Weaving Bureau. If the Weaving Bureau can be built in Ganlong County, the development of Ganlong County in the future will definitely not be worse than Fucheng.

The idea was unsuccessful, and the matter of the Weaving Bureau had nothing to do with him, so Zhao Shutong continued to investigate other developments suitable for Ganlong County.

Although Ganlong County is not big, it contains three types of landforms: mountains, plains and hills.

The plains are suitable for farming, the mountains are suitable for planting cash crops such as walnuts, chestnuts, ginkgo, and tea, and the hills are suitable for planting pastures and raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep due to lack of water.But it is not easy for people who are accustomed to farming to change their working methods to grow cash crops and raise sheep.

In order not to overturn yourself, you can only proceed step by step.

With the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, business will naturally prosper.Supervise businessmen from doing illegal things, prevent them from driving up prices, evading taxes, and he doesn't have to worry too much about other things.

Zhao Shutong wondered if there were any omissions.

In this era, it is difficult to travel, and some people may never leave the small village where they were born.In order to entertain the businessmen and tourists coming and going, the safe accommodation conditions must meet the standards, and black shops in the county must be severely cracked down and resolutely banned.

When Zhao Shutong was sketching out plans to develop Ganlong County, Pei Qi took the family of three out to play a few times.

That day, Pei Qi was tired of the food at home, so he and Zhao Shutong took Zhao Zhuxin to the Qixing Building for a big meal.

Chef Qixinglou's big plate chicken and stewed donkey meat are excellent, Pei Qi likes them very much, and ordered these two dishes first when he arrived at the restaurant.

The smell of meat and wine was mixed in the restaurant, even if the door was closed, it could not completely block these smells from the door.Zhao Zhuxin's little mouse nose began to sniff everywhere.

When Xiao Er came to serve the food, he couldn't wait to rush towards the place where the aroma came from.

"Little sweet potato, these meats are not for you, your millet teeth can't chew it."

Zhao Zhu ignored his mother, drooling greedily.

"Young master likes meat. The minced meat made by our chef is soft and delicious. Let me have a bowl for you." The clever Xiao Er said without losing the opportunity.

Zhao Shutong nodded, "A small bowl."

When the dishes were ready, Zhao Shutong hugged the impatient Zhao Zhuxin, "You eat first, I'll feed him."

Pei Qi gave Zhao Zhuxin to Zhao Shutong. Now Zhao Zhuxin can eat more and more food, and he has been weaned, and the nanny sent him to do other things.Now Zhao Zhuxin's favorite thing is to eat meat, and he smiles when he eats minced meat.His appetite is very good, and he eats with big mouthfuls.

"How did such a little thing digest so much meat?" Pei Qi had several friends who also had children. When he was writing to them, their children were still breastfeeding, and they didn't even eat vegetables. .If the doctor hadn't said that the little sweet potato was very healthy and needed meat as he grew, Pei Qi wouldn't have dared to feed him more.

Pei Qi had never raised a child before, and he was afraid that Little Sweet Potato would be raised to death by him, so he still paid attention to the doctor's opinion.

"Little sweet potato is smart. If you can't eat it, you won't eat it." Zhao Shutong said. Zhao Zhuxin has no supernatural powers, but his physical strength and intelligence are stronger than ordinary babies. He wants to eat meat, but he also knows that his body needs meat. , This is already a win at the starting line.

"It's good that he knows."

"By the way, husband, Xu Wenlan sent a letter saying that there are people smuggling sweet potatoes in the southwest, and he went to track down the merchants involved. He told me that he would definitely find those people and execute them." Pei Qi asked Xu while eating. I told Zhao Shutong about Lan's recent situation that the number of Xu Wenlan's Women's Army will definitely increase next year. He left so much money for Xu Wenlan this time, and he must make her husband feel that his little partner is worth the price. "Those businessmen are really wicked. They gave the sweet potatoes to the foreigners, and let them eat our children and grandchildren when they are full."

"Maybe the Qiang people don't want to fight anymore when they are full." Zhao Shutong wiped Zhao Zhuxin's mouth and said.

"Impossible." Pei Qi said without thinking.

"Why not."

"Da Qi is rich and rich, and the Qiang people covet our wealth and food. As long as their greed is not extinguished, they will definitely invade us." Pei Xi said.

Zhao Shutong nodded, there is no permanent peace, only permanent interests.

"I received news that the Qiang people sent envoys to Beijing to discuss wool business with the emperor." "How will the emperor talk to them? Do you want to talk to the emperor about these things?"

"The Qiang people are not united. There are those who are against us, unwilling to sell our wool to us, and some who want to make money from them." Zhao Shutong said, "The envoy this time is willing to do business with us. .”

"Ah."

They haven't been able to touch these important matters yet, so they won't talk about them for a while.

When Pei Qi was [-]% full, he put down his chopsticks and said coyly to Zhao Shutong, "Husband, my father also wrote."

"Call me?"

"How do you know?" Pei Qi asked Zhao Shutong with rounded eyes.

"Father-in-law also wrote to me."

Pei Qi knew that his father must have felt that one letter was not enough to scold him, so he wrote another one.

"Husband, this meal is an apology meal that Xiqi invited you for my father. After you eat my meal, forget what my father said. Don't take it to heart. My father has suffered too much from outsiders." Only because of the slander, he will speak without choice." Pei Qi said flatteringly suddenly.

Zhao Shutong stopped holding the chicken.

"It's almost the end of the meal, and you just said it's an apology for me?"

"I'm afraid I told you in advance, don't you want to eat?" Or make other weird requests.

Pei Xiaoqi suddenly learned to be smart, but Zhao Shutong was still not used to it.

"Qiqi, your apology is too insincere."

"Then let's go to Fucheng for dinner tomorrow?"

"I can't ask for anything other than food." Zhao Shutong asked tentatively.

"No!" Pei Qi resisted very much. He didn't want to have children, he didn't want to open a shop anymore, he didn't want to be a housekeeper, and he wouldn't agree to anything my husband said.

Zhao Shutong knew that it was not easy to take advantage of the cheap, and said instead, "Your son is in my hands now, if you don't agree, I will tear up the ticket."

Pei Qi was very steady, "That's your son too."

Pei Qi was not threatened, Zhao Shutong had nothing to do with him for the time being, and went back to continue planning his own development plan for Ganlong County.

As for the tragic experience of the old man, Zhao Shutong can only express his sympathy.

It's just that the reputation is misunderstood by everyone. In fact, it's not a big deal.

This kind of thing is clear from the clear and the turbid is turbid. Now everyone doesn't understand it. In ten or twenty years, or a hundred years later, the truth will always be revealed.

Later generations will know his loyalty.

Today's Zhao Shutong is gloating towards his father-in-law.
