Chapter 367 Guangxin Affairs
Yunchui Empire, Guangxin County, Nanshu City.

Renfu.

Ren Xi looked around at the brand new mansion in front of her.

The house is not too big, with only three entrances, but the surrounding walls are unexpectedly high.

But when she came by car just now, she also found that ditches were dug around, lotus ponds were opened, and other courtyards and pavilions were built.

It must be no less than Li Hebai's General's Mansion after all of them are completed.

squeak.

The door of the flower hall opened.

Miao Dong and Ji Xiang helped the pregnant Ying Pan to walk up.

"When did Sixth Sister come?"

"Just arrived." Ren Xi quickly stood up, "Sister-in-law, sit down quickly."

"Is my little nephew good?"

Ha ha.

Yingpan nodded with a smile, "Occasionally he's a bit of a toss-up, but most of the time he's pretty good."

"That's good." Ren Xi was very knowledgeable, "Guangxin's weather is hot, usually even adults can't sit still, and it's normal for my little nephew to be naughty occasionally."

"That would be the best." Ying Pan breathed a sigh of relief.

It was almost late July, and she was already seven months pregnant.

Most of the work at hand is handed over to other people, while I stay at home and concentrate on raising my baby.

Fortunately, Guangxin County is not short of manpower for major events, and all affairs are still in order.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law chatted for a while, and Yingpan asked: "Sixth sister is here this time, is there anything I need my sister-in-law to help with?"

"It's fine. I'm going to visit my relatives in Xingji City next month, right? Let's see if my sister-in-law has anything to bring along the way."

After Jiji, Ren Xi married to Nanshu City, and it has been five years since then, and she has even given birth to two children.

It's just that there is a long distance between Guangxin and Xingji City. She has been married for so long but has not officially returned to the Grand Master's Mansion to visit her relatives.

This time, I plan to take the two children back to the Imperial Capital to meet their grandparents.

"It turned out that it has been five years before I knew it." Yingpan was filled with emotion, "Time flies so fast."

Back then in Xingji City, she also participated in Ren Xi's wedding ceremony on behalf of Ren Fei, but now the other party is the mother of two children.

After thinking for a while, Yingpan wrote a letter, "Well, Liumei Lao will help my sister-in-law deliver a letter to General Xuanwu's Mansion in Xingji City."

whee.

Ren Xi smiled and waved her hands, "We are all a family, so what kindness is there to do a little effort."

The aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a while before she left.

Yingpan turned to look at Miao Dong, "Sister Dong, the newspaper for the second half of July is due to be published again, are the contents ready?"

Miao Dong knew the importance of this matter and nodded solemnly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry."

"I have carefully reviewed the content of the newspaper. The headline on the front page is about the establishment of the imperial reserve, and the other contents are fine."

"The guards of the veterans have secretly sent the manuscript to the major printing outlets to ensure that the newspaper can be delivered on time before the end of the month."

"That's good." Ying Pan nodded with satisfaction.

These printing outlets were on the verge of bankruptcy before, and Yingpan sent people to buy them one by one, and then replaced them all with their own people.

At the beginning, Yingpan was worried about buying some burdens.

As a result, after a few months, it was discovered that the sales volume of the newspaper was amazing.

Those printing spots are almost continuous at [-] o'clock, but the work can't be finished.

If it wasn't for worrying about revealing the source of the newspaper, she would have wanted the Gu family caravan to buy more.

As for the printing site, except for a few core figures, they are all Nanfeng slaves who can't read big characters.

They can't speak cloud language, and they don't understand what their job is.In order to eat, I can only work hard.

Speaking of the printing point, it's pretty good.

As slaves of the defeated country, at least no one beat, scolded or hacked them.If you work hard, you can still eat and wear warm clothes.Much stronger than most common people.

Yingpan stroked Fu's stomach that had just been kicked a few times by the child, "What about the draft? Is there any progress?"

This newspaper has several dedicated writers, such as the old Taishi, Master Hongguang, and Huo Qing, the son of Duke Zhenguo.

Other methods of soliciting manuscripts are largely the same as the methods of court censors collecting folk rumors.

That is, put a bamboo tube in an inconspicuous place, such as a small hole in the corner of a wall, which only some people know.

If there are scholars and lofty ideals who submit articles, the manuscripts will be stuffed in.

Someone will pick it up at regular intervals.

If the manuscript they wrote is accepted, the manuscript fee will be sent to the owner's home in various ways.

"The newspaper was not well-known before, and few people contributed articles. Now the newspaper has a great reputation. We have received more manuscripts. But most of them are scarlet pornographic articles that don't make any sense..."

Miao Dong, a little girl who had just grown up, blushed.

"But every once in a while there's an article or two that catches the eye and makes sense. I pick them out and put them in the paper."

"I believe that with the passage of time, the recognition of the newspaper will further increase, and more famous writers, famous scholars and Confucians will contribute articles."

Of course, the premise is that the court recognizes the legitimacy of the newspaper, and there is no need to hide and hide even a manuscript.

"Come on, there will be such a day." Yingpan said.

cut.

Ji Xiang next to him chuckled, "Writerman? Great Confucian?"

She doesn't know too many Chinese characters but also a lot.

Ever since she read the poems and poems left by her general, this girl's eyes have been raised above her head, and she has no feeling for the so-called great writers of the time.

Yingpan ignored her maid and continued to ask, "Where is Sister Hezhu?"

After all, the Li family was born in Guangxin and grew up in Guangxin. They are deeply rooted here.

Yingpan is pregnant and knows nothing about farming.

Most of the guards in the house joined the Starfall Legion when they were young.They are good at fighting and killing, but they are also blind to farming.

So Ren Ning asked people to cultivate high-yield seeds and expand food production, almost all fell on Li Hezhu's shoulders.

The dignified girl from the General's Mansion is already 25 years old, and the matchmaker has almost reached the threshold of the General's Mansion, but Li Hezhu has not yet married.

Maybe it was a broken jar, but she no longer cared about other people's strange eyes, wandering around various farms, large and small, every day.

It is not to collect the rent from the tenant farmers, but to reduce their rent so that those old farmers who have been farming all their lives can settle in Guangxin with more peace of mind.

It's just that the time needed to cultivate seeds is usually calculated in years, and there are no good results yet.

"This Miss Hezhu..." Yingpan shook his head, and then asked about the trade route.

Now the entire commercial route along the North-South Line is very lively, almost crowded with caravans and common people coming and going.

In particular, the news that "Guangxin accepts refugees and distributes land to those who arrive" spread, and from time to time on the road south, you can see people in ragged clothes leading their families.

They didn't know the way, and they couldn't tell east, west, north, south, so they could only follow the caravan going south.

And the officials around Xingji City were eager for these people to leave, lest the news of "a large number of refugees besieging Xingji City" spread to the palace, and Emperor Changxing would use their black yarn to make a knife.

So as long as I heard that the refugees intend to go south to Guangxin County.

The county magistrates were even happy to help them handle the road guides, making it easier and more convenient for these people to go south.

"There are so many refugees here, is Guangxin still short of manpower?" Ying Pan asked.

"Sister-in-law, according to my brother's thinking, this manpower is far from enough." Miao Dong flicked through the workbook in his hand, "Actually, we still have a lot of work that no one is doing."

Yingpan nodded, "Although that's the case, starting from next month, let the Gujia caravan and Lingjia caravan go to the caravan and at the same time promote the need for refugees in Laigu County."

"This is no problem." Miao Dong complied naturally.

The three of them talked about other things, and it was not until Yingpan showed a tired look that Jixiang sent her back to the inner room to rest.
