Chapter 208

"I hope that the third brother can make a business out of it. Our family also needs such a person."

In a family of officials, in addition to the officialdom, there must be someone on the farm, and there are people who run the shop. It would be a pity to lack one.

If the Du family wants to develop, it cannot do without money.

Saburo's temper and conduct are very good. If you start slowly, maybe you can really succeed in the future.

The summer in this capital city is much hotter than Yunyang County, hot and dry, the emperor and concubines in the palace all went to the summer resort to escape the summer heat.

There is a set of teams left in the capital, as long as the basic order of the yamen is maintained.

The Imperial Academy is not a very popular department, but it also followed several academics of the Imperial Academy. These people have met the emperor many times, and sometimes they drafted orders.

Not to mention, they were also the first to know the orders of these emperors who appointed officials of the third rank or above.

Hu Xin is just a good man, and he is not qualified to follow him yet.

After all, he was still an 'intern', but Kang Yuanxing followed him. He was remembered by the emperor because of his grandfather, so he brought him along this time.

Others are extremely envious, but I don't have that fate, so I can only work hard.

Hu Xin was not affected by the incident between Kang Yuanxing and the past. He already knew that Kang Yuanxing was different from them, so he had nothing to be jealous of, just do his job well.

On this day, he went from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Officials to send an official document to the Ministry of Officials. Sometimes these 'interns' would run around like this.

The people from the six ministries have all stayed in the capital to ensure the normal operation of the entire imperial court.

When he came back from the official department and went out, he met a person. The person glanced at Hu Xin, then followed him, and asked, "You are from Yunzhou, right?"

Hu Xin recognized this person, because he had met this magistrate when he was selected.

"I have seen the prefect of Li." This person is Mr. Li, the prefect of Yunzhou, who is Du Liu's original husband.

"No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite. I am no longer the magistrate of Yunzhou. No, I have received a notice from the Ministry of Officials. I will stay in the capital as an official, and I may have to deal with Mr. Hu more in the future."

"Master Li is too polite." Hu Xin said.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and each took their leave. Hu Xin thought, what does Master Li mean?He even got close to himself.

Ordinarily, it shouldn't be, because he has a concubine, which is related to his family. Because of this, they never moved around.

When Hu Xin went back, Du Yu explained the matter, and then Hu Xin realized that Du Liu was no longer Mrs. Li's concubine, and she was sent back to her natal family to marry herself.

That's why we can talk, otherwise if there is a concubine, Master Li still wants to talk to Hu Xin, that would be a slap in the face.

Du Yu said: "I really don't know what this Du Liu is trying to torment? Ordinarily, she is free now, and the prefect gave her a large sum of money. As long as she lives in peace, it is not difficult to find someone else." Er, even if you don't get married, you can live a good life. Third brother has a good temper since he was a child, and Tao Er is the same, why is she not satisfied?"

Although it was an ugly matter from her natal family, Du Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with telling her eldest cousin.

Hu Xin said: "A person like her probably likes to control everything in her own hands. She used to be in the backyard of the magistrate, but now she has money and has parents who listen to her. Do you think she will do that?"

That said, if you have money, you have courage.

The Lius and his wife are really fools. They don't want such a good son and daughter, but they want such a shit-stirring stick.They will suffer in the future.

In summer, people feel that they don’t want to move, and in the evening, the mosquitoes also come out. Fortunately, this capital sells a kind of incense cake, which can repel mosquitoes after being burned, and the smell is quite good.

Du Youquan saw that this product was very good, much worse than the wormwood used in the countryside. When the wormwood was burned, it filled the room with smoke, and its effect of repelling mosquitoes was not as effective as that of pancakes.

Du Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, next year, I'll send some to our family in advance, so that we won't be afraid of mosquito bites."

Du Youquan nodded and said, "What I'm thinking is, we don't have this mosquito-repellent incense cake over there. You said that if you buy some and sell them in our area, will you be able to make a fortune?"

This is not bad.But Hu Xin said: "This fragrant cake has long been available in Yunyang County, but because it is expensive, few people buy it, and the market can't sell it in quantity, so it's useless to buy it, and you have to pay travel expenses. Moreover, the effect of this incense cake is only effective for one year, and it will lose its effect in the second year."

The eldest cousin would really be a disappointment. Seeing how Uncle Wu was being hit, Du Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle Wu has a good idea. I didn't think of it. In fact, there are many things in the capital that we don't have in Yunyang County. When the time comes Uncle Wu can take a good look and write down all the things that Yunyang County doesn't have, so he can come over to buy in the future."

Du Youquan hurriedly waved his hands, "I'm really not good for business, I can't think through everything, I'll take care of this village from now on."

He is not even as good as the third brother, so he doesn't make such a fuss.

In the evening, Du Yu pinched his eldest cousin's arm and said, "Why do you always hit people? I think what my fifth uncle said was just right. You poured cold water on it."

Hu Xin said with a smile: "When they come here, they should treat their illness well, and don't think about anything else."

I really want to make the fragrant cakes. In the future, my cousin will be busy with the work. Last time my cousin got sick. Hu Xin doesn't want my cousin to get sick again.

However, Hu Xin didn't say the reason, otherwise he would be pinched even more.

Although he is in pain and happy.

The heat was getting hotter and hotter every day. At noon, there was basically no one on the road, only the cicadas on the trees were screaming desperately.

Du Yu didn't ask anyone to bring lunch to his eldest cousin at noon, because it was too hot, and it would be bad if they got heatstroke.

Du Yu is going to take a nap at noon now.

She didn't ask the maids to fan herself, but took a cattail fan in her hand, and after fanning for a while, she fell asleep, then woke up from the heat, and couldn't fall back asleep again.

This summer is really uncomfortable.Du Yu still bought a cattail fan specially, this fan is much more windy than those beautiful silk fans, although it doesn't look very good.

"It's really hot today. It would be nice if it rained, and the heat would be brought down." Mrs. Chen felt her head was sweating. This capital city is much hotter than Yangliu Village, at least Yangliu Village. Where there are mountains and water, there is nothing here.

Du Yu said: "In the spring of next year, let them plant a few trees and plant bamboo in the back, so that it will not be hot."

Planting bamboo behind their main house is both elegant and relieving of the summer heat.

It's a pity, to get through this big summer, those big families have prepared ice cellars early. When it's hot, just put ice cubes in the basin to make it cooler. Their homes don't have that condition, so they can only I have to think of another way.

"That's right, your yard just lacks a few big trees. Once you plant trees, it will be much cooler." Mrs. Chen felt that life in the capital city was not as comfortable as living in the countryside.

And speaking of rain, as soon as noon passed, lightning and thunder began, and a storm came.

The sky had completely darkened, and the strong wind was blowing. Du Yu was a little worried about his eldest cousin in the Imperial Academy. He wouldn't be on the road, it would be so dangerous.

It was only at this time that she realized that usually she was safe and sound at home, while her eldest cousin was running around outside, so she decided to treat her eldest cousin better in the future.

The torrential rain lasted for two hours and did not stop until afternoon.

The streets are full of water, and some places almost reach the calf side.

Some trees on the road were blown off and lay across the road. I heard that for some people, the trees fell and fell directly on the roof. Fortunately, the house did not collapse, otherwise people would be killed.

Because the descent was relatively large and rapid, the moat outside was full of water, and finally the gates were opened, so the scene of flooding the capital did not appear.

But just because of this incident, the emperor couldn't stay in the Summer Resort anymore. If such a big incident happened in the capital, it would be impossible not to come back.

Everyone was trembling, for fear that the emperor would come back and those who stayed behind would be punished.

However, when the emperor came back, he did nothing but issued an edict of guilt. He felt that the heavy rain this time was because he, the emperor, was not doing well. That's why God got angry and condemned the people in the capital. .

As soon as this sin edict came out, for some reason, the people in the capital worshiped and respected the emperor even more.

After all, not everyone is happy to take the blame on themselves.Moreover, the follow-up work in the capital was also done well, at least there were no casualties.

However, after that, people were recruited to dig the moat. Otherwise, if something like this happens next time, what if the moat is full again?
In fact, when designing a city, the depth of the water must have been considered, especially the moat of the capital, which is the most important thing, but this time it exceeded, which means that it is now the most in history. If it is not deep enough, then continue to dig deeper.

Get a few more meters and let the historian record it, or the people of Qin Tianjian will also record it, and this will be the highest point in history in the future.

This matter is also concerned with the Hanlin Academy, because the higher authorities require the Hanlin Academy to find out all the history books of the previous dynasties. The records of the moat alone will not let go, and then they will help other moats. If any Not enough, it will be after the autumn harvest to start dredging the depth of the mud.Otherwise, it would be bad if the same situation as in Beijing really happened.
