The son crosses every night

Gu Tangyu didn't take the initiative to send letters back to the palace. He often replied after Tanghua sent letters, and there was never a second letter.

He was so busy with the whole thing that he didn't have much time to write letters.

When Tanghua heard that he had sent a letter back this time, his heart skipped a beat.

The hem of his clothes fluttered, and he walked quickly to the door, staring at the servant who was waiting in front of him, and asked, "Where is the letter?"

The servant never thought that he would come out on his own initiative, so he shook his head, quickly took out a letter from his pocket, and presented it with both hands, "Master, the letter is here."

Tang Hua took the letter, walked back to the house, opened the letter and read it.

The letter wrote more than half a page, and Gu Tangyu's tone was normal. He said that when he was last year, he resisted several groups of barbarians and made several meritorious deeds.

The Shangguan told him that he had a half-year vacation. After thinking about it, he decided to go back to the imperial capital to visit his parents and brothers.

This is a very ordinary letter from home, and even because Gu Tangyu is coming back, this letter from home also has some taste of joy, but at a glance, Tanghua thinks it is not normal, his brother is not the kind who can let go of his subordinates and responsibilities, and return at will home people.

Tang Hua read the letter back and forth several times, pondered it carefully, then turned to the servant and asked, "Father asked you to send this letter?"

"Yes, my lord also has another one."

Gu Tangyu is a cautious person, and Tanghua guesses that the letter in his father's hand has nothing special.

He nodded, "I see, you go back."

The servant saluted and left in a hurry.

Tang Hua walked around the house for a few steps, unable to understand the matter, so he decided not to hand the letter to He Hua and ask him to put it away. Tang Hua tidied up his clothes, took his special notebook, and planned to go out for a walk.

The field servants always get up very early, and they get up when the sky is slightly bright.

These two days were sunny days, the sun had already risen when Tanghua went out, he was walking around the field with two guards, the crystal dew was attached to the grass buds and branches, and his hem was wet.

Tanghua usually wears long boots, which won't get her legs wet, but they aren't very comfortable either.

He took a look at the germination of the wheat. The wheat was fine. Most of the wheat in the field had grown to an inch high, and the roots were very strong.

The wheat is green and oily, stretching from one side to the other.

The 480 mu of land in Tanghua was mainly planted with wheat and rapeseed. The two plants were divided into half and half, accounting for more than [-] mu. The remaining ten mu of land were planted with some other vegetables.

The climate in the imperial capital is relatively cold, and it is still too early. Except for rape and wheat, it is difficult to grow others. The weather should be warmer, eat for two months, and then plant in March and April.

Compared with wheat, rapeseed is more delicate and has more insects.

The field servants have taken good care of the rapeseed fields assigned to their teams, and went to the vegetable fields to catch insects whenever they had time. However, even so, there were still a lot of insects in the vegetable fields, and the leaves were eaten pitted. nice.

Tang Hua recorded the information one by one, and went to check the water volume in the small reservoir and ditches.

It hasn't rained much recently, the mountain stream is a little dry, but the reservoir is fine, the trees have a relatively strong water retention capacity, and the small reservoir has not dried up.

Tang Hua turned around and hurried back before the sun was too hot.

Jiang Pingyuan had also returned, and Tang Hua drank tea with him and asked him about the two villages.

Jiang Pingyuan said: "He Rui is now taking care of the Zhuangzi in Ruchuan County. He hasn't written yet. I have already written to him to urge him. I told him years ago that he should follow the same rules as last year and plant it step by step."

After hearing this, Tang Hua said calmly: "He Rui is capable, but he is not very honest. If there is a chance, replace him."

"Okay. With them, I also mentioned Yu Yi and Ning Wei as team leaders. If they want to, they can watch them."

Tang Hua shook his head, "The two of them won't be able to take up big positions, so we have to choose someone else."

One of these two is too smart and the other is too simple, neither of them can be a leader.

"Choosing." Jiang Pingyuan smiled, "We are good everywhere, but we are really short of talents. I'm afraid it will take a year or two to find enough people to fill these vacancies and pull our shelves up."

Tang Hua nodded, "It will be hard for you these two years, if you like someone, just tell me."

"Okay." Jiang Pingyuan continued: "Wan Heyang has been making porcelain with Lu Cheng and Yuan Jin. I asked them to fire a kiln in March. The porcelain fired last year was not bad. There are a few bottles and plates in Baolin. For fast consignment, let them follow the rules this year."

"Wan Heyang's craftsmanship is the best. Let him burn more. The porcelain that Yuan Jin fired last year is far from that of the other two. Tell him to burn less this year. If it's really not going to work, ask him to help the other two. Don't worry." Waste things."

Tang Hua didn't have a good impression of Yuan Jin. Last year, when Tang Hua hadn't made a fortune, Yuan Rui showed some signs of making progress. At that time, he didn't say anything, but his heart was like a bright mirror.

Jiang Pingyuan knew that he didn't like to use such villains, so he nodded, "I'll make arrangements."

After reporting the incident in Ruchuan County, Jiang Pingyuan found out about the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

This Zhuangzi has been managed by Zhuangtou Zhou Ji, who is cautious and low-key.

Tang Hua has a good impression of him, he is a usable person, even if Zhuang Zi changed his master, Tang Hua never replaced him.

Compared with King Jingning, Tang Hua found that the people left by his elder brother are always more reliable, and they are better than those left by his father in terms of character and ability.

If one or two are like this, it doesn't mean anything, but if it is always like this, it is enough to show that his brother's ability is much stronger than that of his father.

Zhou Ji is in charge of this Zhuangzi, and neither Tanghua nor Jiang Pingyuan have anything to worry about.

Tang Hua only ordered: "Tell him to be more careful when planting roses. Be sure to plant a batch before summer. I will be of great use."

Jiang Pingyuan asked: "My lord, isn't this rose dew going to be kept for a while? It's time to plant it, so there's still time?"

"No problem, there should be time." Tang Hua thought about it and said, "Didn't they ask them to make wine? Can the wine continue to be brewed?"

"It's been brewing. We have brewed a hundred cylinders of rice wine, and we can drink it in ten or so days."

Tanghua wanted to make alcohol for a long time, and he was relieved when he heard the words, "It will be ready when it is brewed. You tell Zhou Ji not to touch the wine. I will steam the wine when I have time next month."

Jiang Pingyuan responded one by one, and then asked: "Should we burn more glass this year?"

"Well, ask He Zi and Gu Zhun to put more effort into burning some large pieces of transparent and clear glass, and then make mirrors and sell them to shopkeeper Lin. How is Gan Hua? Has he started to collect wool? Su What about silk?"

"It's all been collected. It's not yet the season for dyeing xiangyun yarn. I asked him to collect the plain silk that he had selected first. The wool can be dyed again. I have already asked him to start sorting the wool. Wash the woolen yarn."

"It's still cold in the spring, and woolen vests can still be sold for a while longer." Tang Hua knocked on the table with his hands, and pondered: "How much soda ash is left? If not enough, we will prepare another batch and send it over here."

"I prepared more than 500 catties before I came back, which should be enough."

"Enough is enough, I have worked hard on you this year."

The two talked for half the morning, until their saliva dried up.

Tanghua said while Jiang Pingyuan memorized, and after he finished memorizing, Tanghua took it back to read it, and nodded when he saw that there was nothing missing.

They discussed this year's work plan years ago, and there should be nothing missing. If there is anything wrong, they will make it up next year.

After talking about the matter, Tang Hua asked Jiang Pingyuan with a smile: "Pingyuan, did you send someone to inquire about Miss Chen?"

Jiang Pingyuan was a little helpless, "I just said it yesterday, how could it be so fast today?"

"Why not so fast? Tell me how difficult it is to send a few people out? I'll tell Lei Xing later and ask him to send someone out."

Jiang Pingyuan waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll do it myself, it's not good to bother him with this kind of thing."

"Then, you have to hurry up."

Tang Hua smiled, and suddenly remembered, "What's going on at Shantang?"

Jiang Pingyuan hadn't paid attention to Shantang for a while. There was a special person in charge there, and there was enough money and food allocated by Jianghua, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Tang Hua stared at him for a moment, knowing that he didn't pay attention to that side, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go and have a look in the afternoon, the weather is getting warmer, so it's time to ask the children to read some books."

"Studying is publicized, and the poor people nearby may also want to send their children."

Tang Hua smiled, "Send it as soon as it is delivered. We will pay for the orphan, and then wait for the poor people to ask him to pay a few dollars. The left and right are doing good deeds, and helping everyone is helping."

"By the way, there is one more thing. You should not only teach your children to read, but also let those little girls learn together. If there are many people, divide them into two classrooms, and don't ask them to mix together, lest they have something to say outside."

Jiang Pingyuan looked a little more serious, "Let the girl study together? My son, I have received news about this from outside, and I'm afraid there will be swarms of opposition voices."

"Don't be afraid, they are all human beings. On the contrary, girls need to study more. They need to have a craft to stand up, so as not to be bullied when they go out of the shantang. Not only teach them to read, but also teach them carpentry and other things. Practice the ability to eat well. The girl learns some weaving and embroidery, and asks them to do some work, which can be regarded as part-time work and part-study.”

Tanghua has had this idea for a long time, that is, he only recently proposed it.

Jiang Pingyuan was a little worried, but finally agreed, "I'll talk to the other side and see what to do."

Tang Hua comforted: "Don't worry, if outsiders inquire, you will let people say that you want to teach these children something, and let them work in Zhuangzi in the future."

Jiang Pingyuan nodded, "This is better."
