At the beginning of October, the population of Xizhou had reached 8 people, an increase of more than [-] people in just two months. The population growth will naturally bring dividends. Many original residents who have relocated from Xizhou also intend to move back to their former residences. People asked the city lord's mansion about Xizhou's current policy.Most of the people who are willing to move back are poor people, but very few wealthy gentry are willing to move back.

When two wealthy gentry sent people to consult Xizhou's policy, they raised objections. They said that they had hundreds of acres of land in the east of the city, all of which were private property. Now that the government took over, would there be any compensation?Xizhou has implemented the land equalization system, and it is impossible to return the land. If they are compensated according to the land price, they are willing.

Fengyu also became a bandit once. The land in Xizhou is not allowed to be bought and sold. The price is determined by the state government. Now the lease is one tael per mu, and if compensation is paid according to the lease price, one tael per mu, a hundred taels of silver for a hundred mu of land .The two wealthy gentry were startled by Feng Yu's shamelessness, and scolded Feng Yu on the spot, calling Feng Yu no different from Xizhou bandits, they were all hooligans who occupied people's fields.Feng Yu could understand their anger, but she still insisted on compensation of one tael per mu.The land in Xizhou has been abandoned for so many years, no one has cultivated it, and it is difficult to check many registration records. It is impossible that after she has sent someone to recultivate the arable land, the rich gentry wants to go back.

When the infamy spread throughout the twelve prefectures, and when it spread to Zhongzhou and Jiangnan, Feng Yu knew that there was someone deliberately trying to tarnish Xizhou's reputation.

During this period of time, there were too many trivial things, which made Feng Yu physically and mentally exhausted. She had to put down her body and ask Nangong Heng to come out of the mountain. During the riot in the mine, although Nangong Heng didn't come forward, he also cooperated with his staff to send government soldiers to the rescue in private Feng Yu remembers this friendship. Later, when he was farming in Xizhou, he was able to let go of the arrogance of a scholar and farm with his old mother. After being bumped into by Feng Yu, he felt ashamed and angry. Every time he saw Feng Yu coming to patrol, he would run away .

Feng Yu didn't appreciate Nan Gongheng's temperament, but he was a serious Jinshi, not a sour scholar who wrote about talents and beauties, and he didn't make any achievements when Xizhou was occupied by bandits.If it is stabilized and a civil official like Nan Gongheng is needed to manage it, he cannot be allowed to farm at home, which would be a bit wasteful.

Brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Meng volunteered to learn how to govern Xizhou. Feng Yu thought twice and did not allow them to enter the core affairs of the city lord's mansion. She knew that the Zhang family brothers were quite critical. Since she entered Xizhou, the Zhang family brothers helped Liang There are many, but Fengyu thinks that they don't study much, they are aggressive, and they are all temperamental people, so it is difficult to control the general affairs of the city.

General affairs need a clear head, and you can't be nepotism. She is a good hand in business, but lacks in governance, so she wrote a letter to Xie Jue.

Following Xie Jue's suggestion, she arranged for the Zhang family brothers to join the city defense construction team, but she could not delegate all powers. She promoted people from the city defense of the state capital to check with Zhang Hu and stabilize the law and order in the city.

The last thing is to ask Nangong Heng to come out of the mountain.

Nangong Heng is really stubborn and a little pedantic, Feng Yu has asked his staff to persuade him, hoping that he can return to work in the state capital.Feng Yu also waited for Nangong Heng to give her a step up, who knew that Nangong Heng would rather go to plow the fields with his old mother, Feng Yu was very angry and funny.

"Okay, I can bend and stretch, I'll invite him!"

She is a businessman and doesn't care about face. She visited the thatched cottage and invited Nangong Heng. She was full of sincerity, and finally convinced Nangong Heng to return to the prefectural capital. So far, Xizhou is on the right track. Feng Yu only needs to sit in the rear like Xie Jue and control the direction. , meritocracy.

Fengyu's birthday is on the fifth day of October, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard is strong, which arouses Fengyu's longing for her. In previous years, when she celebrated her birthday, Mrs. Feng and Fengshu would make special arrangements, which was even better than Fengshu's own birthday. Be lively.When entertaining guests at home, shopkeepers will also hold special birthday parties for her. She loves gold, silver and jewelry, and opening presents on her birthday is her happiest thing.

Whether it is family members, friends, or shopkeepers, they will send jewelry, and shopkeeper Wen will carve a set of gorgeous jewelry for her every year with great care.

This birthday is a little bit colder, Xizhou is waiting for prosperity, so it can't waste people's money, Feng Yu also strictly told Qiuxiang and Chunlu not to tell everyone about her birthday.

Shopkeeper Wen has arrived in Xizhou, and now he is slowly laying out the commercial territory of Xizhou, restaurants, cloth shops, tea, utensils business has started, Xizhou has a lot of vacant houses.The original inn and restaurant are empty, and now they can get started with a little repair. Many city residents also saw this business and bought the store early to do business.

On Fengyu's birthday, shopkeeper Wen sent a pair of sapphire earrings.Feng Yu couldn't put it down because the gemstone was so crystal clear, jewelries in the world don't like to use gemstones, at least they are not the main raw materials.Due to technical reasons, gemstones are difficult to polish, and it is also difficult for craftsmen to make crystal clear jewelry with gemstones.

The world prefers gold and jade, emerald green and so on.

Jewelry polished by gemstones always seems to be covered with a layer of dust and is not transparent. The pair of gemstone earrings sent by shopkeeper Wen are very special, crystal clear, and can reflect light when placed in the sun.

"How is this done?"

Shopkeeper Wen said with a smile, "Dugu Jing left a gem accessory at Shisanniang's place. It was polished and shiny. Shisanniang thought it was very special and gave it to me. Beiman's craftsmanship is better than ours, and it can polish such a good product." I found more than a dozen craftsmen to study, spent a lot of gemstones, and finally polished two small blue gemstones, which are just right for the girl to make earrings."

Feng Yu put the earrings in the sun, the gemstones were polished into many diamond faces, refracting colorful light, Feng Yu was fascinated by all kinds of gemstones since she was a child.

"Does the girl like it?"

Feng Yu looked at the exquisite earrings obsessively, "Beiman is rich in minerals, and the craftsmanship is many years ahead of us. If we can master this technology, we will be able to empty the pockets of the girls and wives of the clan."

Shopkeeper Wen, "..."

Feng Yu said excitedly, "Can craftsmen master this technology proficiently?"

Shopkeeper Wen shook his head, "Firstly, it has something to do with the material of the gemstone, and secondly, it takes time to carve. This is a pendant carved by more than a dozen craftsmen day and night, so it must not be mass-produced."

Fengyu felt a little regretful, and shopkeeper Wen said, "I will find a way."

"it is good!"

Although there is no banquet for Feng Yu's birthday, the house is very lively. Su Mengwei also sent a set of extremely expensive jewelry, hoping that Feng Yu can continue to work for Su's firm for the sake of kinship, regardless of the past.

After the mine riot, Su Mengwei was imprisoned by Feng Yu in the mansion. At first, Su Mengwei didn't think what Feng Yu would do to him, after all, he was not considered the mastermind.Commercial firms in the Twelve States also need an experienced manager like him. If Feng Yu wants to manage Xizhou, someone must share the business affairs.

He is the best candidate. When shopkeeper Wen arrived in Xizhou, Su Mengwei knew that he had become an abandoned son. He had to show weakness everywhere, but Feng Yu was hard-hearted. ignore it.

"Send it back!" Feng Yu refused to accept Su Mengwei's gift, "Keep an eye on him and don't allow him and his family to leave the Twelve States."

She has written a book to her grandfather, and she will not let Su Mengwei leave until her grandfather writes back.

After sunset, Feng Yu had no intention of celebrating her birthday with the maids, and was about to pick the soul-repelling beads and exchange them with Xie Xun, when Nuan Yang came over happily, "Girl, the master has sent someone to give you a birthday present."

Qiuxiang and Chunlu said secretly, "Sister Wen gave such an amazing gift, what else can the prince give to make the girl happy?"

"The girl is happy with whatever the lord gives you!" Chun Lu raised her chin slightly, and Feng Yu went to greet her in person with her skirt.

Guess what gift the prince gave you?
