Reborn in the last years of Kangxi
Chapter 844 Several Thoughts
Chapter 844 Several Thoughts (seeking a monthly ticket)
Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, and was about to shake her head to send the housekeeper's wife to take the two embroiderers down, when she saw the housekeeper's daughter-in-law stepped forward, lowered her voice, and replied: "Madam, these two embroiderers are good at embroidery, I want Money is low."
Wang remained calm, waved a little girl and said, "Lead them out and wait."
"How much money a year?" Seeing them going out, Wang asked the housekeeper's wife.
If it is said that in the early days, spending an extra thousand 800 taels of silver was not in the eyes of Wang, after all, she had no descendants to inherit, and this huge family business would all fall to Li Nai's house.
It is different now, there are still two grandsons alive, so Wang needs to think more about everything.
"For this kind of craftsmanship, you need to find someone outside, and you can pay less than 12 taels of silver a year. The two sisters' families are waiting to use the silver, and each of them is 40 taels a year. After signing the ten-year life contract, one person can save [-] taels of silver." The housekeeper's wife replied.
"Looking at how young you are, and dressed as a young daughter-in-law, why do you all come out to work? Have you found out about your wealth? If someone is not clean, no matter how good the job is, you can't take it." Wang asked.
"I've made it clear, and it sounds like they are hard-working people. The eldest is 23 years old, and was divorced after seven years of marriage without children. The younger sister is 21. She is a man who died when she was married. Her husband's family won't allow her, so she returned to her mother's family. Now that the filial piety period has passed, Only when you come out to work, do you dress up normally." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law said with a sigh.
Whether life is hard or not, Mrs. Wang doesn't take it to heart, thinking that it is always good to save dozens of taels of silver.Now, the mansion is an empty shelf, if people can't enter here, they won't enter one by two.
As for the looks of these two young women...
She picked up the corners of her mouth, and told the housekeeper's wife: "You are an old man, and you have winks at female celebrities. Since you think it's good, you can stay, take it to the cashier and sign the contract. Then go talk to the grandma. , Allocate the Guan family and Qin family in her courtyard to the fifth and sixth masters, and make up for these two... The fifth young master and the sixth young master are still young and have little work. It's a pity to use the embroiderer well... "
Thinking of the grandma Sun's pampering the old lady, Wang's eyes became stern.But he's also a slave girl from Bao Yi's family, pretending to be aloof.
He usually acted like a virtuous person in front of her, and pretended to be a virtuous person. It was so straightforward that it was disgusting.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, not to mention that she is not a real daughter-in-law. She is a rightful house-filler, and the grandma who is being married by the media may not be in the eyes.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt that the Qiao sisters looked too honest. It would be good-looking if some demon moths were born in the big room.
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law felt relieved when she saw Mrs. Wang nodding, pinched the silver ingot in her sleeve, and responded with a smile: "It's still well arranged by the madam, and this servant will do it now."
In the courtyard, the two anxious people were none other than Zhixian and Yexian sisters who came from the capital.
They had been in Suzhou for half a month, and they rented a house near Zhizao Mansion to inquire about the situation of Li Mansion.Finally, wait until Mrs. Li finds her embroiderer.
Because they found out clearly that this time they were adding needleworkers to Young Master Sun in the mansion, so they were thinking about entering the mansion.
They are two sisters, they just want to find some place to find the twins and reunite with the children, but they have no intention of taking the children and fleeing.
Although it was only half a month's work, they already knew that the Li family in Suzhou was not comparable to the Sun family.Children recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and they will share a share of wealth in the future, and they will be masters in this life.
It's just that there is no caring person to protect this deep house, and the two children have been trained by Sun Jue to be honest, so what if they suffer?
In order to get this errand, they gave the housekeeper's wife a silver ingot, and said thank you if the job is done, that's why the housekeeper's wife is so caring.
Hearing that it was accomplished, the two sisters were overjoyed.
When they came, they followed the housekeeping of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and they already knew that this time they were adding servants to the "Fifth Young Master" and "Six Young Masters" in the mansion.Hearing that they are twins, Sister Zhixian knew that it was either someone else, or her own flesh and blood.
Unexpectedly, the next sentence of the daughter-in-law in charge surprised the two sisters: "You sisters are really blessed. My wife ordered you to make up for the grandmother's room. From now on, the grandmother will be the head of the house. You Working next to Grandma, it's really very respectable..."
Front yard, study.
Li Xu stood behind the desk, playing with two hickory nuts in his hands, listening to the report of Li Nai's father and son's recent situation in Beijing.Counting the days, Shengjia has arrived in Beijing now.
If no grace had come down a few years ago, it would not be beneficial for the eldest son to stay in the capital.
Thinking of this, Li Xu really regretted that he really shouldn't favor his grandson.Originally thought that when the second son was alive, he would be able to be alone in his teens, and a grandson was smart, and he would be similar, but he was still disappointed.
No matter how you calculate the Sun family, you can do it, but you can't make too much noise.
Just like this time, the reputation of the Sun family was ruined, the Cao family was offended, and Sun Jue lost his future by making troubles before the imperial court, but the gain outweighed the loss.
Sun Jue is also the eldest son. Sun Wencheng has been on the job for more than ten years and is considered a sacred heart, but because of the trouble, he lost his official position.Not only Cao, Li, and Sun are regarded as one, but even in the eyes of the emperor, these three families are also inseparable.
At this time, it's good not to anger the Li family, there will be no grace.
Li Xu sighed, this year's plan may come to nothing, maybe he will really have to wait for the new emperor's reward...
Not to mention, all the people in Suzhou weaving, guarding an empty shell, each have their own sufferings.Cao's Mansion in the capital was beaming with joy.
Even Li Shi, Cao Yong and others, in the filial piety period, it is not easy to attend the wedding, so they rewarded red envelopes early.
This day is October 26, Shangji, suitable for marriage, Xiaoman's wedding day.
Although it was said that the eldest son was marrying a wife, Cao Fang didn't make any big arrangements. He only served a day of wine and invited relatives and friends who were working in the house.
Unexpectedly, it was still lively.Not only Wei Hei and Zheng Hu went to Cao Fang's house for a wedding, Tianyou and Hang Seng also went to the back streets to play after school.
It is a great honor for the little masters to come here, and brothers Cao Yuan and Cao Fang naturally accompanied them in person.
After all, Tianyou was more sensible and asked their brothers to go to work, leaving only Xiaoman's brothers behind.
The bride's dowry was delivered yesterday, and it was placed in the yard of the new house, a total of 32 sets.Not to mention the furniture, the remaining clothes and jewelry are more decent than those of ordinary officials and ladies.
Cao Fang's daughter-in-law was dissatisfied with the idea earlier, but it disappeared long ago.
This daughter-in-law was pointed out by the eldest grandma, and she went out at Aunt Han's house, let alone the capable and sensible Wu En, even a paper doll had to be confessed.
Besides, the husband is right, this daughter-in-law was brought back from Mongolia by the uncle, and Miss Zijing was trained by her during her lifetime, so she can be ranked in front of both the uncle and the grandmother.
The uncle is nostalgic, Xiaoman married this daughter-in-law, and it is not a loss at all.
From childhood to adulthood, the uncle personally took in servants, only the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family, the brothers of the Ren family and Wu En.
Now, without saying anything, Mrs. Zheng is working as an errand in the Prince's Mansion, and has an imperial order on her body.That is to say, Zheng Hu and the Ren brothers are all at the uncle's side.
Over the years, Wu En has also been highly regarded by the grandma.
*
Han house, inner courtyard.
The maid had already waited on Wu En to put on her wedding dress, and put on makeup on her face, which added a bit of prettiness to her originally delicate face.
A mother-in-law has already come in to remind her, but the groom has already arrived.
Wu En heard the words, stood up, and bowed to Han Jiangshi.
During the half month of coming here to be married, Han Jiang looked for several medicinal recipes, and used different methods to recuperate Wu En's body.The bird's nest and ginseng are all made of top quality.
Although Han Jiangshi didn't say anything intimate, Wu En could see that she put her heart into everything, and the dowry she prepared for her was all real money and valuable items.
How can Wu En be at peace with receiving such great kindness for nothing?
Even if she knew that there was sister Wenxiu's affection in it, she didn't dare to bear it brazenly and declined.
Helpless, the Han Jiang family did not allow her to refuse, only saying that it had something to do with the dignity of the Cao family, so she could just accept it with peace of mind.
Wu En would not say words of gratitude, but he would keep this kindness in his heart.Now that he is about to leave the court, this worship is unavoidable.
A figure appeared in my heart, if sister Wenxiu was still alive...
Thinking of this, Wu En's eyes were already red.
Han Jiang helped her up, and said with a smile: "Although it is said outside that weeping marriage, but we have to avoid customs, my sister is still married happily, and will live happily ever after."
"Grandma Xie said auspicious words." Wu En nodded and said.
Hui'er wore a pink jacket, followed Han Jiangshi, and said with a smile: "My aunt is going to be a sedan chair, and Hui'er wants to eat candy."
Han Jiangshi patted his daughter's head and said, "When the bridegroom arrives, there will be candy. If we don't give candy, we will hide the bride."
"En, um." Hui'er nodded her head, and Wu En's face was already blushing.
The mother-in-law came to remind her again, Xiaoxi and Xiaofu took Hui'er and went out to embarrass the groom...

House of Internal Affairs, main hall.
Seeing the rare and rare guest, Elder Sixteen couldn't feel joy in his heart, but he had a bright smile on his face.
"Fourth brother, is this here to find my younger brother? If there is something to do, send a message and ask my younger brother to go over to say hello. I have been thinking about the vegetarian banquet at the fourth brother's house for a long time, but I know that the fourth brother is busy these days, and I am afraid that the fourth brother will be spared, so the younger brother did not come to the door." " Elder Sixteen said with a smile while giving up his seat.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was sitting, he ordered someone to make a pot of good tea that had just been received.
The fourth elder brother didn't talk too much, and said straight to the point: "I have something to ask the sixteenth brother to come."
Hearing this, the sixteenth elder brother groaned secretly in his heart, but his face didn't show. He took the teapot from the servant and poured tea for the fourth elder brother. If you eat food waiting to die, where does the fourth brother say "beg"? If you have any orders, the fourth brother will speak."
When the fourth elder brother heard the front, he thought that the sixteenth elder brother was going to evade, and his face was a little ugly; when he heard the rear, he turned around.
"What else can I have? The military department uses too much money, and the household department can't provide it. I can't always pay from Huang Ama's internal treasury. If the sixteenth brother feels sorry for his brother, he will help him and transfer the bank's money. Support some borrowers first."
What are you really afraid of, what are you coming to.
Although it is "borrowed", who doesn't know that the household department has been unable to make ends meet in recent years.
Even if there is tax money in the warehouse at that time, the bank will not be taken care of.If you really want to withdraw money from the bank, you are afraid that you will be beaten by meat buns, and you will never return.
But the fourth elder brother stared at it, and the sixteenth elder brother didn't dare to say a word. He turned around in his heart and said, "How much does the fourth elder brother use? My younger brother just checked the account a few days ago. It is in the bank's treasury. There is a small 200 million in silver deposits, and hundreds of thousands of copper coins. If the household department uses it, it will use it. However, although the bank is linked to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not up to the younger brother to make decisions, and the clans are watching..."
Speaking of this, he looked at the fourth elder brother with some embarrassment and said: "At the beginning, the shareholders of the clan were afraid that the yamen in the capital would use the bank's idea, so they made an early decision that no matter what yamen it is, the money will be drawn from the bank, and the interest rate can be the lowest. This pledge is indispensable. It’s nothing else but to prevent bad debts and damage their shares.”
The fourth elder brother heard the words, with a slight anger on his face, he snorted coldly, and said: "At this time, it shows that they are smart. A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, except for counting money, have nothing to do with it."
Elder Sixteen smiled wryly and said, "If it wasn't for the money, they wouldn't be able to invest in the bank as well." Speaking of this, he remembered something and said, "Fourth brother, why is it rumored that the Ministry of Households also wants to set up a bank?" ? Although this bank can collect money, it is the most prone to mistakes. If the household department really wants to do it, the fourth brother will pick some old people from here to take care of it. The bank's signboard, and even the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been implicated."
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Someone made a fuss, and I suppressed it. Let's wait and see, you've only been here for more than a year, and you can't see the pros and cons for a while, so let's wait another two years and see."
The sixteenth brother heard the words, showing a bit of worry, and said: "In this way, although I have secured a lot, I am afraid that those people will blame the fourth brother again. This is more clear, knowing that the fourth brother is doing it for the court. If you save money, you mess up and lose the face of the court; if you are confused, you can only think that the fourth brother is stopping them from getting rich."
The fourth elder brother showed sarcasm on his face, and said: "So what about complaining? There are few people who say that I am not good? I don't care about exchanging the people's money and the court's face for good!"
Brother Sixteen saw him like this, but it was hard to say anything, fearing that his inappropriate words would make him even more annoyed, so he nodded in agreement.
The fourth elder brother has recovered his calm now, pondered for a while, and said: "If your bank wants to continue to operate, the household department can't just pay money for nothing. This time, I need to pay 50 taels of silver, so I'll go back first and check. Check the Sanku to see if there is any pledge. The post issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago is related to the pledge, right?"
"It's the pledge that the bank has exceeded the repayment deadline for more than a year. There are a lot of good farmland real estate, and there are quite a lot of prodigal sons in the Eight Banners. Fourth brother, send two housekeepers. If there are really good things, don't waste them, save them." It’s cheaper for others.” Elder Sixteen replied: “These days, many people are looking for my younger brother, wanting to take advantage of this, so I pick the first one. My younger brother thinks that instead of selling favors, he would rather put on a straight face and offend others. , and also add more money to Huang Ama's treasury. Seeing that the end of the year is coming, Huang Ama must be more generous."
The fourth elder brother nodded while listening, and said: "It's hard for you. It's the best. Let these people sell it, it's already cheap for them, and we can't encourage their greed."
Although the money was not obtained quickly, the fourth elder brother did not intend to blame the sixteenth elder brother.
Seeing the sixteenth elder brother's meticulous work, the fourth elder brother was also very relieved, looked at the sixteenth elder brother and said: "It's still Huang Ama who knows people with her eyes. It is most appropriate to hand over the House of Internal Affairs to the sixteenth brother."
The sixteenth elder brother said with a bitter face, "fourth brother, don't praise me. I just gritted my teeth and insisted. I went to see Cao Yong a few days ago. That was a leisurely life. It's just that Huang Ama is getting old. As sons, we should be filial no matter what."
Hearing the word "Cao Yong", the fourth elder brother said: "Didn't you say that you waited on the crops in Changping a few days ago? Didn't you mention how the potatoes are grown?"
The sixteenth elder brother laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said: "I really let the fourth brother talk, that boy dragged me to read the Potato Sutra for half a day. I heard that people planted all kinds of potato seeds in Zhili. Next year I have to continue planting. That guy is kind. I don’t know who told me that if the potatoes are planted and the yield per mu is over a thousand catties, I will think about it. In the drought to catch natural disasters, using this to support it can save a few people from starving to death. In addition to this, there is also corn, which was also planted this year. I wrote down a thick dozen notes, saying that it will be planted for two years, sorted out, and handed over to the household department."
4
Although the fourth elder brother knew that Cao Yong was serving the crops, he didn't know the detailed plan.Hearing Brother Sixteen's words, I felt a little moved, but couldn't say anything good, and said: "Not doing a proper job, the benevolence of a woman!"
*
At this moment, Cao Yong is sorting out the farming records of the past six months in his study.
If you don't study agriculture, you don't know the difficulties of the world.I heard that there was a severe drought in the Southwest this year, and dozens of prefectures and counties were affected. The imperial court has ordered the governors of those provinces to open provincial warehouses to help the victims.
Today, the granary in the world is the granary of the household department in the capital. Even if there are big rats, they dare not chew them at the feet of the emperor.The rest, in places, are mostly decorations.
Regarding this point, Kangxi also knew it well, so if there were natural disasters in places such as Zhili, Jiangnan, and Southeast, the imperial court would allocate grain and grain for relief.
Zhili is the capital of the capital, so there can be no chaos; Jiangnan is a place where taxes are heavy in the world, and scholars gather, so there can be no chaos;Therefore, these three places must be pacified.
In the barren land of the southwest, there are many local tribes scattered. It is a remote area, and even if something happens, it can't make a fuss. The court naturally turns a blind eye to it.
In fact, even if there is no need to try planting again, the high yield of potatoes has already been confirmed.
After all, it has been a hundred years since potatoes were introduced in the Ming Dynasty. From Fujian to Zhili, there are not many places where potatoes are grown.It's just that because of the lack of traffic information, I haven't heard of these things in the northwest and southwest.
Do you want to write an excerpt to Kangxi about the idea of promoting potatoes and corn?
Or for the sake of future prospects, wait a few years, wait for the fourth elder brother to level up and sell it?
Cao Yong was a little hesitant. The selfish part of his heart felt that it would be better to wait a few years; the hypocritical part knew that if the promotion plan was implemented a year earlier, how many more people would live.
In the end, how to choose...

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, and was about to shake her head to send the housekeeper's wife to take the two embroiderers down, when she saw the housekeeper's daughter-in-law stepped forward, lowered her voice, and replied: "Madam, these two embroiderers are good at embroidery, I want Money is low."
Wang remained calm, waved a little girl and said, "Lead them out and wait."
"How much money a year?" Seeing them going out, Wang asked the housekeeper's wife.
If it is said that in the early days, spending an extra thousand 800 taels of silver was not in the eyes of Wang, after all, she had no descendants to inherit, and this huge family business would all fall to Li Nai's house.
It is different now, there are still two grandsons alive, so Wang needs to think more about everything.
"For this kind of craftsmanship, you need to find someone outside, and you can pay less than 12 taels of silver a year. The two sisters' families are waiting to use the silver, and each of them is 40 taels a year. After signing the ten-year life contract, one person can save [-] taels of silver." The housekeeper's wife replied.
"Looking at how young you are, and dressed as a young daughter-in-law, why do you all come out to work? Have you found out about your wealth? If someone is not clean, no matter how good the job is, you can't take it." Wang asked.
"I've made it clear, and it sounds like they are hard-working people. The eldest is 23 years old, and was divorced after seven years of marriage without children. The younger sister is 21. She is a man who died when she was married. Her husband's family won't allow her, so she returned to her mother's family. Now that the filial piety period has passed, Only when you come out to work, do you dress up normally." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law said with a sigh.
Whether life is hard or not, Mrs. Wang doesn't take it to heart, thinking that it is always good to save dozens of taels of silver.Now, the mansion is an empty shelf, if people can't enter here, they won't enter one by two.
As for the looks of these two young women...
She picked up the corners of her mouth, and told the housekeeper's wife: "You are an old man, and you have winks at female celebrities. Since you think it's good, you can stay, take it to the cashier and sign the contract. Then go talk to the grandma. , Allocate the Guan family and Qin family in her courtyard to the fifth and sixth masters, and make up for these two... The fifth young master and the sixth young master are still young and have little work. It's a pity to use the embroiderer well... "
Thinking of the grandma Sun's pampering the old lady, Wang's eyes became stern.But he's also a slave girl from Bao Yi's family, pretending to be aloof.

At this time, it's good not to anger the Li family, there will be no grace.

Not to mention, all the people in Suzhou weaving, guarding an empty shell, each have their own sufferings.Cao's Mansion in the capital was beaming with joy.

Seeing the rare and rare guest, Elder Sixteen couldn't feel joy in his heart, but he had a bright smile on his face.
"Fourth brother, is this here to find my younger brother? If there is something to do, send a message and ask my younger brother to go over to say hello. I have been thinking about the vegetarian banquet at the fourth brother's house for a long time, but I know that the fourth brother is busy these days, and I am afraid that the fourth brother will be spared, so the younger brother did not come to the door." " Elder Sixteen said with a smile while giving up his seat.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was sitting, he ordered someone to make a pot of good tea that had just been received.
The fourth elder brother didn't talk too much, and said straight to the point: "I have something to ask the sixteenth brother to come."
Hearing this, the sixteenth elder brother groaned secretly in his heart, but his face didn't show. He took the teapot from the servant and poured tea for the fourth elder brother. If you eat food waiting to die, where does the fourth brother say "beg"? If you have any orders, the fourth brother will speak."
When the fourth elder brother heard the front, he thought that the sixteenth elder brother was going to evade, and his face was a little ugly; when he heard the rear, he turned around.
"What else can I have? The military department uses too much money, and the household department can't provide it. I can't always pay from Huang Ama's internal treasury. If the sixteenth brother feels sorry for his brother, he will help him and transfer the bank's money. Support some borrowers first."
What are you really afraid of, what are you coming to.
Although it is "borrowed", who doesn't know that the household department has been unable to make ends meet in recent years.
Even if there is tax money in the warehouse at that time, the bank will not be taken care of.If you really want to withdraw money from the bank, you are afraid that you will be beaten by meat buns, and you will never return.
But the fourth elder brother stared at it, and the sixteenth elder brother didn't dare to say a word. He turned around in his heart and said, "How much does the fourth elder brother use? My younger brother just checked the account a few days ago. It is in the bank's treasury. There is a small 200 million in silver deposits, and hundreds of thousands of copper coins. If the household department uses it, it will use it. However, although the bank is linked to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not up to the younger brother to make decisions, and the clans are watching..."
Speaking of this, he looked at the fourth elder brother with some embarrassment and said: "At the beginning, the shareholders of the clan were afraid that the yamen in the capital would use the bank's idea, so they made an early decision that no matter what yamen it is, the money will be drawn from the bank, and the interest rate can be the lowest. This pledge is indispensable. It’s nothing else but to prevent bad debts and damage their shares.”
The fourth elder brother heard the words, with a slight anger on his face, he snorted coldly, and said: "At this time, it shows that they are smart. A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, except for counting money, have nothing to do with it."
Elder Sixteen smiled wryly and said, "If it wasn't for the money, they wouldn't be able to invest in the bank as well." Speaking of this, he remembered something and said, "Fourth brother, why is it rumored that the Ministry of Households also wants to set up a bank?" ? Although this bank can collect money, it is the most prone to mistakes. If the household department really wants to do it, the fourth brother will pick some old people from here to take care of it. The bank's signboard, and even the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been implicated."
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Someone made a fuss, and I suppressed it. Let's wait and see, you've only been here for more than a year, and you can't see the pros and cons for a while, so let's wait another two years and see."
The sixteenth brother heard the words, showing a bit of worry, and said: "In this way, although I have secured a lot, I am afraid that those people will blame the fourth brother again. This is more clear, knowing that the fourth brother is doing it for the court. If you save money, you mess up and lose the face of the court; if you are confused, you can only think that the fourth brother is stopping them from getting rich."
The fourth elder brother showed sarcasm on his face, and said: "So what about complaining? There are few people who say that I am not good? I don't care about exchanging the people's money and the court's face for good!"
Brother Sixteen saw him like this, but it was hard to say anything, fearing that his inappropriate words would make him even more annoyed, so he nodded in agreement.
The fourth elder brother has recovered his calm now, pondered for a while, and said: "If your bank wants to continue to operate, the household department can't just pay money for nothing. This time, I need to pay 50 taels of silver, so I'll go back first and check. Check the Sanku to see if there is any pledge. The post issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago is related to the pledge, right?"
"It's the pledge that the bank has exceeded the repayment deadline for more than a year. There are a lot of good farmland real estate, and there are quite a lot of prodigal sons in the Eight Banners. Fourth brother, send two housekeepers. If there are really good things, don't waste them, save them." It’s cheaper for others.” Elder Sixteen replied: “These days, many people are looking for my younger brother, wanting to take advantage of this, so I pick the first one. My younger brother thinks that instead of selling favors, he would rather put on a straight face and offend others. , and also add more money to Huang Ama's treasury. Seeing that the end of the year is coming, Huang Ama must be more generous."
The fourth elder brother nodded while listening, and said: "It's hard for you. It's the best. Let these people sell it, it's already cheap for them, and we can't encourage their greed."
Although the money was not obtained quickly, the fourth elder brother did not intend to blame the sixteenth elder brother.
Seeing the sixteenth elder brother's meticulous work, the fourth elder brother was also very relieved, looked at the sixteenth elder brother and said: "It's still Huang Ama who knows people with her eyes. It is most appropriate to hand over the House of Internal Affairs to the sixteenth brother."
The sixteenth elder brother said with a bitter face, "fourth brother, don't praise me. I just gritted my teeth and insisted. I went to see Cao Yong a few days ago. That was a leisurely life. It's just that Huang Ama is getting old. As sons, we should be filial no matter what."
Hearing the word "Cao Yong", the fourth elder brother said: "Didn't you say that you waited on the crops in Changping a few days ago? Didn't you mention how the potatoes are grown?"
The sixteenth elder brother laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said: "I really let the fourth brother talk, that boy dragged me to read the Potato Sutra for half a day. I heard that people planted all kinds of potato seeds in Zhili. Next year I have to continue planting. That guy is kind. I don’t know who told me that if the potatoes are planted and the yield per mu is over a thousand catties, I will think about it. In the drought to catch natural disasters, using this to support it can save a few people from starving to death. In addition to this, there is also corn, which was also planted this year. I wrote down a thick dozen notes, saying that it will be planted for two years, sorted out, and handed over to the household department."

Although the fourth elder brother knew that Cao Yong was serving the crops, he didn't know the detailed plan.Hearing Brother Sixteen's words, I felt a little moved, but couldn't say anything good, and said: "Not doing a proper job, the benevolence of a woman!"

At this moment, Cao Yong is sorting out the farming records of the past six months in his study.
If you don't study agriculture, you don't know the difficulties of the world.I heard that there was a severe drought in the Southwest this year, and dozens of prefectures and counties were affected. The imperial court has ordered the governors of those provinces to open provincial warehouses to help the victims.
Today, the granary in the world is the granary of the household department in the capital. Even if there are big rats, they dare not chew them at the feet of the emperor.The rest, in places, are mostly decorations.
Regarding this point, Kangxi also knew it well, so if there were natural disasters in places such as Zhili, Jiangnan, and Southeast, the imperial court would allocate grain and grain for relief.
Zhili is the capital of the capital, so there can be no chaos; Jiangnan is a place where taxes are heavy in the world, and scholars gather, so there can be no chaos;Therefore, these three places must be pacified.
In the barren land of the southwest, there are many local tribes scattered. It is a remote area, and even if something happens, it can't make a fuss. The court naturally turns a blind eye to it.
In fact, even if there is no need to try planting again, the high yield of potatoes has already been confirmed.
After all, it has been a hundred years since potatoes were introduced in the Ming Dynasty. From Fujian to Zhili, there are not many places where potatoes are grown.It's just that because of the lack of traffic information, I haven't heard of these things in the northwest and southwest.
Do you want to write an excerpt to Kangxi about the idea of promoting potatoes and corn?
Or for the sake of future prospects, wait a few years, wait for the fourth elder brother to level up and sell it?
Cao Yong was a little hesitant. The selfish part of his heart felt that it would be better to wait a few years; the hypocritical part knew that if the promotion plan was implemented a year earlier, how many more people would live.
In the end, how to choose...
