The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng respectfully held up the imperial edict with both hands, and Jia Zhu naturally sent a reward purse to the visitor. The man accepted it without changing his expression, and then cupped his hands and said, "Master Jia, I have other errands, so I leave." After finishing, go out and get on the horse.

"Please go! Forgive me for not being able to send it away..."

Jia Zheng chased after him for two steps, then retreated.

Back in the house, the maids took off their official uniforms and put on regular ones again. Jia Zheng's brows were frowned, three years!More than 300 million taels in three years!There are more than 100 million taels to be filled in a year, how can this be filled!Such a large amount!Alas, at first he thought that he would not increase the deficit first, and gradually fill in about 30 taels every year, and give him ten years of effort, maybe he could make up the deficit in full, but three years!How could it be possible in three years...

Your majesty, how can you be so eager for quick success!Persecute the subordinates!Where did the money come from? Isn't this going to force him to expropriate?

Wang Guizhi didn't think it was too scary. After all, Shanxi is a big province with more than 300 million taels in the whole province. If Jia's family wants to hand over 300 million taels, she must be in a hurry.But looking at Jia Zheng's distress and worry, he thought in his heart that the emperor really thought of it as soon as he came out. Shouldn't Jia Zheng be praised for being smooth and stable when he came to the office?Why did he suddenly have such high demands on him? After three years of rectification, it will be completed by then. Don't be too good at this achievement.

After receiving the tea they had brewed, Wang Guizhi let them go down, leaving two people to watch outside, lest anyone who suddenly wanted to hear what the couple had to say would be able to hear it.

"I said, just think of me as a woman. The emperor wants to pursue this shortcoming. You are a courtier and you have to deal with errands. But with such a big pot, how can you come out with a star and work so hard that you forget to eat and sleep? The firepower is also limited, it can only be the tail of bream, why don't you wait for the Lantern Festival to pass, and lead the officials and historians from all over Shanxi to work together, three cobblers can beat a Zhuge Liang, right?"

Wang Guizhi also has an account in mind. After Shanxi College is established, the government can fully contribute to the supporting facilities and share a piece of the pie. She estimates that there will always be 3 taels a year, right?Isn't the land of the college taxable?That is, the tax cannot be used for the time being. When the students come over, they will eat, drink, and sleep. At least three or five public toilets will be set up. The poll tax can be collected first... Although it sounds like a shame, it is said that this item is actually useful. A lot of profit.At that time, the things in the cesspool can be made into fertilizer, which can also be used in the fields. The crops are full of flowers, and they all depend on the fertilizer.It can be temporarily implemented in Taiyuan first, and those people can contract out after seeing the benefits.Afterwards, Shanxi Province found them all over the province, at least it was cleaner than just defecating on the side of the road, and accumulated fat.

By the way, more things are produced in the field, which can also increase the income. She knows that there is urea in the fertilizer... Sigh, why didn't she have a background in agriculture, otherwise it would be awesome if she could make hybrid rice!Alas, it's useless to think about it. If she builds the road ahead of time, even if she can't pass the customs tax on passers-by, those who ride horses and ride in carriages can collect some "high-speed" tolls, and set up a few "Yuelai" roads next to them. "The inn... It's better not to come to Yue, just call it Convenience House, it's convenient for me to collect money, it's convenient for everyone~

Besides, this is at least convenient for their own caravans. Right now, there is a lot of demand for Zhenwei Restaurant and Boweilou. The caravans used to go twice a year, but now they have to go at least three or four times. It’s better for some unmarried people. , If you become a family, you can't take care of the family for a month or two all year round, so wouldn't you become a stay-at-home wife?When the road is cleared, it's time to adjust, how to change shifts, so that those who can take care of the family can also take care of the family, want to make more money...

How can she manage so much, everyone has their own account, and no one has their own ideas.

Besides, once the ten famous prostitutes tax is opened, Jia Zheng always said before that he should be diligent in farming. If he can do it vigorously, he can also collect an idler tax. Everyone is busy with farm work and livelihoods, etc. Who is the most idle? , If they don't study hard or practice martial arts, they are idlers and should pay taxes!Hahaha, when the time comes, the name of this tax bill will be hung outside the city gate from time to time, so that those people can do what they should do, but this...will it affect her business in Bowei Building?Forget it...

Jia Zheng was laughed at by his wife, "Do you think your husband is so powerful that you can immediately twist them into a rope and work hard together? Then my wife thinks too highly of Cunzhou."

"It doesn't matter what they think! People are so close to each other, who knows what they think? Master, you have the imperial decree in your hand. The emperor can use the imperial decree to force you. Can't you use chicken feathers as an arrow to force them? Besides This is an imperial decree, not a chicken feather. Even if they have to suffer, you don’t have to help them bear it yourself.” Wang Guizhi shook the yellow silk, causing Jia Zheng to grab it quickly, “This is an imperial decree! How could it be so? Take it easy!"

Wang Guizhi stuck out his tongue, "You can do whatever you want, I'm going to sleep."

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the general order of the army is a little unbearable, so who cares about him~ Besides, there are still three years, and the couch will not come down.

Seeing that she really took off her clothes and went to sleep, Jia Zheng was very uncomfortable. He took another look at the imperial decree in his hand and couldn't help but put it on the case. He also untied his own robe and pulled down the bed curtain to sleep with his wife.

How could his wife be so aggressive, he should "teach" her husband a lesson.

"Old lady, you should also rest."

Jia Amnesty then toasted her with a glass of warm wine, looked at the sky and persuaded her.

Mother Jia withdrew her distracted eyes, the whole family was lively and lively, but without her youngest son, she still felt a little empty in her heart.

"Boss, did your brother write a letter?"

"Mother! I just received the letter not long ago. You also read the congratulatory gifts. Even the letter was not so fast!" Jia She said, while winking at his younger sister. Mother loves her the most.

Jia Min led her daughter to Jia's mother, "Mother, you are thinking about your second brother. I am so old and your granddaughter is in front of you. You didn't see it!"

"You little girl, how can I miss you!" Jia Mu laughed, took Jia Min's hand, and looked at the little granddaughter, "If Baoyu and Meiyu were here, I would have three jade children by my side."

Lin Daiyu was curious, blinked her eyes, grabbed Jia Mu's sleeve with her small hand, tilted her head and said softly, "Grandmother, cousins ​​are also called Yu'er?" Her father always called her Yu'er.

Jia Min did know, because the family of the Jia family came from next to the word Wang, so it was basically related to jade, and most of the nicknames came from it.

"Yeah, your cousin and sister also have Yu in their name. If you want to say that your elder brother's third boy should be called Yu, but he was born named Jia Huan, and your second sister-in-law said that it is not a circle. It's called Yuanyuan." Thinking of the twists and turns she had suffered when she was pregnant with him, and not knowing what he looks like now, Jia Mu stroked Daiyu's soft hair, feeling a little uncomfortable.The son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried, the emperor has assigned such an errand, and I don't know if they are used to staying in Shanxi...

Seeing that her mother was a little distracted, Jia Min sat beside her and picked up a dried rose scent for her, "Mother, just look at these children and grandchildren in front of you, or don't talk about us, it's the second brother himself. How can you be happy?"

Jia's mother nodded, "You're right, let's toast, let's go to rest after having fun for a while, there will be theater wine tomorrow." Sitting beside her were Jia Min and other old ladies in the house , and Jia Jing and Jia Zhen led Jia Rong, Youshi sat at the table with Mrs. Li with a big belly, sister Ying and girl Xiangyun were playing with an embroidery ball behind her, Jia Amnesty and Brother Lian, Brother Cong is also full of people, so why should she be dissatisfied.

Just after the fifteenth day, Lin Ruhai received a letter from Jia Zheng, asking him to help invite some scholars who are proficient in literature and art to become teachers in Shanxi.

"Didn't you say that the big thing to do is to make up for the deficit? Why did you think of finding someone to teach? Could it be to enlighten the children?" Jia Min personally made tea and handed it to Lin Ruhai, and even read the entire letter.

Lin Ruhai smiled, "You didn't look carefully, my brother-in-law organized a Shanxi Academy, and it was built in Baishan to imitate Yueli Academy, okay! This kind of merit will last forever, and it will be a good thing that will be famous forever. It’s enough for the rest of my life to be able to do one!” Shanxi College is [-]%, even if Jia Zheng can’t complete the shortfall task and is dismissed from office, then the whole of Shanxi can still leave his name!

If possible, he also wants to go to the academy to continue studying and educating people. With a lovely wife and daughter by his side, what more can a husband ask for!He is now a doctor of Lantai Temple, but he is in charge of picketing and impeachment. These little censors, even if they dare not join high-ranking and powerful officials, they want to find some trivial matters and still participate!This kind of intrigue really annoys him.

Thinking about my brother-in-law being let go, although there are thousands of clues, huge pits to be filled, imperial decrees, heavy responsibilities, but still have not forgotten the original heart, it is really rare!

It's no wonder that the emperor asked his brother-in-law to take on this important task, he really knows people with eyes!What's more, the brother-in-law represents the old son of the old clan's hero, if he can be reused... the emperor is buying a bone with a thousand dollars!Lin Ruhai clicked his tongue in his heart, it really was the emperor's mind.

Jia Min saw that her husband liked what her brother was going to do, so she was naturally honored, so she said, "Then you can introduce your fellow Jinshi." It is even more difficult to get the rankings, and it is even more difficult to send them out immediately. Jia Min knew that her husband secretly subsidized several fellow subjects.

"No, no, they are still too young!" Lin Ruhai opened his pen and ink, "The main thing is to invite a few old gentlemen. There are not many highly respected people in the new academy, so how can we do it!"

"Then you write it, and Yu'er and I will go to my mother's for a while."

Seeing that he was concentrating on writing letters, Jia Min didn't want to disturb him, so she came out and led Daiyu to Jia Mu's place for a walk.

After winning the prize, the emperor appointed a doctor from Lantai Temple to work in Beijing.The second elder brother, Jia Zheng, was sent to Shanxi to make up for the shortfall. Although he had a high position, he had a heavy responsibility. The second sister-in-law led the children to follow for Jia's family. The whole family was outside, and the mother was worried and often sighed.The eldest brother came to her and asked her family to stay in Jia's house for a while, so that her old man could be happier.

Besides, she has only Yu'er under her knees, and when she arrives in Jia's mansion, there is also a sister-in-law, who is accompanied by Xiangyun, a girl from the Shi family. Wouldn't it be two conveniences, so I stayed here first.

The author has something to say: Everyone has been so indifferent lately, it’s fishy~ If there are more than [-] comments in this chapter, I will add it better, please keep an eye on it.
