My husband Zhuge Kongming

The seven years of Jian'an have been spent in peace.

In Xuchang, Cao Cao conquered Liyang, and Yuan Shao's sons were fighting among themselves, so he lived a comfortable year, even though Liu Xie caused him some troubles.

But he believes that if he stays in the north, these troubles in the south are not troubles.

In Jiangdong, Sun Quan had been the state shepherd for less than a year, and the situation was not stable, but finally, thanks to the efforts of him, Zhou Yu and others, the most dangerous year passed without any risk.

On the other side of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie received a [-]% profit on the deposit. Satisfied, he ordered his subordinates to send more people to plant sugarcane until... a servant reported that Mr. Ge had something important to discuss.

When he heard that sugarcane can be planted twice a year, his eyes brightened, "Hurry up and teach me, sir!"

Zhuge Liang just shook his feather fan and smiled without saying a word.

……

As for Jingzhou, it can be regarded as the most peaceful one among the big Han forces.

Although there were foreign enemies attacking this year, the enemy leader was killed, which greatly dampened the morale of the opponent and kept the stability of the eastern defense line for the next few years.

Liu Biao also spoke more fluently than before, so he finally showed up on the last day of the seventh year of Jian'an, and hosted a banquet at the State Shepherd's Mansion in honor of his subordinates.

Of course, he didn't get up and walk, so he didn't reveal himself.

Seeing Liu Cong's performance, all the subordinates naturally agreed and acquiesced to Liu Biao's choice.

As for Liu Qi... no longer mentioned.

……

Chuan.

Huang Yueying was busy with the previous wave, and then calculated the existing money, looking at the summary at the firm:
This year, a total of 17 iron mines, one silver mine, six coal mines, and eight black water mines have been discovered... A total of 35 mines have been purchased...

This year, 43 green ash workshops have been built in various places, with expenditure... income...

brown sugar...

dried fruit...

herbs...

In the end, there was a balance!
Huang Yueying's eyes lit up, this is the first year...the firm has started to have a surplus!
The commercial bank now has a gray ash workshop. In order to facilitate the construction of houses or roads, it is not a problem to build a few iron workshops, right?

In order to smelt iron, it's okay to build a few coal workshops, right?
For the safe sale of these workshops and products, it's okay to recruit a few guards, right?

In addition to this year, there is a lot of money and food that can be transferred from the fief. In the coming year, she can fully develop the function of mailing items or letters as a business.

Then, the commercial bank can also buy good horses from the fief, and the speed of business expansion will be faster.

On Chu'an's end, the income and expenses calculated, this year's surplus is more than 1000 million yuan.

As for the loom, there was a second improvement. The efficiency of the improved machine was several times higher than that of the previous one.

In other words, these masters in Chu'an have begun to have a preliminary solution from asking questions to solving them.

In the coming year, she can keep throwing some questions to them so that they can study them.

But the first thing to do next year is to build roads.

Chu'an is acceptable, but other places in Jingzhou are not as satisfactory.

If you want to strengthen your own strength, it is imperative to build roads.

As for who will repair it and how to repair it, you can discuss it with Liu Biao and other aristocratic families.

……

The eighth year of Jian'an, that is, 203 AD, finally came.

Huang Yueying wore thick clothes, held a small heater, and after offering sacrifices to the ancestral hall with the clansmen, she summarized the development of Zhuangzi.

"Last year, Zhuangnai was still stable. Uncles, there are many people who are stronger than last year."

Everyone laughed, but it was true.

As the money earned keeps up, so does the food. Isn't this body just growing up?

"However, the implementation of the dictation land system has also caused troubles for many people." Huang Yueying said again.

Everyone is still smiling.

Perhaps, in other places in Chu'an, it caused trouble for some wealthy households, but in their Zhuangzi, this did not happen.

Although those tenants were given their own fields, they did not intend to abandon their fields.

After all, this system was proposed by Huang Yueying.

Nobody is hiding anything.

However, the clansmen also know that this time will not be too long.

Therefore, some people still went to Lin County to recruit tenants, and no one was dissatisfied.

Today, their income is not just the yield of the fields.

There are also Chu paper and books.

In the past few years, I have accumulated a lot of wealth, and even the children in Zhuangzi talk about their relatives, and they can say that they are much better than before.

No one will be dissatisfied, and no one will object to Huang Yueying.

Even... at that time, their Zhuangzi will also implement this plan to accept the land by mouth.

"It's not troublesome." Huang Lv smiled and stroked his beard, "There are people from the firm, so it's very convenient for us to recruit tenants on the farm."

"Yes."

"Furthermore, it turns out that these people have their own land, and I am also happy for them."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Huang Yueying smiled, "Thank you, elders."

"Achumo, please be polite."

"Yes."

"It's been rumored outside that even though Mr. Chu An is a woman, she still has the world in her heart."

Speaking of Chu Anjun's reputation, everyone laughed again.

Most importantly, this year, the children in the family have made a lot of progress.

For Huang Yueying, they really couldn't fault it.

Huang Yueying also laughed, "This year, there may be some big changes in people's livelihood in Jingzhou. If there are ideas in the clan, we need to go further..."

"Big change?"

"What's the change?"

As for Huang Yueying's sentence that went further, everyone selectively ignored it, and just wanted to know what the change was.

Huang Yueying was helpless, and continued with her own words, "If the clan wants to go further, it must be done with one mind."

"What does it mean... to go further within the clan?" Huang Lu focused on the key points.

"Now I, the Huang family of Chu'an, although I have a small fortune, there are very few people who become officials and hold real power." Huang Yueying said.

"Official?"

"Ah? Does Ah Chu want me to wait until I become an official?"

Everyone was a little surprised for a moment.

Huang Yueying nodded, then shook her head, "Yes, and no."

"Ah Chu, don't try to betray me."

Huang Yueying then said, "This year, green ash workshops will continue to spread, and I will suggest to the state herd...to build a new green ash road to strengthen the control of the entire county."

"Grey road?"

"Is this... too extravagant?"

"Extremely, the price of Qinghui is not low!"

Everyone doesn't think it's easy to build concrete roads.The cost is high, how can the state have so much money?
"That's why it is necessary for the whole clan to work together. Every household contributes money to be responsible for the construction and cost of a certain section of the road. In the future, they may have the right to charge fees for this section of the road."

"Toll?" Someone quickly responded.

Huang Yueying nodded.

As a result, other people's discussions became louder.

……

After coming out of the ancestral hall, Huang Yueying breathed a sigh of relief and returned home.

She has a great chance of persuading Liu Biao about building roads, but how much money can the State Shepherd's Mansion have?
Therefore, it is cost-effective to unite the various families and build the road first, even if they give up the right to collect fees for about ten years.

However, the Huang family can, in this wave of changes, push out some people to take charge of part of the traffic planning, and in the future, they can become official in a logical manner.

Although they are just some insignificant positions, they can be some officials with real power in the future.

For the development of the Huang family, it was a lot of help.

Furthermore, she also needs more clansmen as her arms.

Today's portion, good night.
