Chapter 3 Song Lao Si Brand Chili Sauce
Three years later.
In the spring of the 14th year of Yongkang, the fourth master of Song Dynasty had stayed in the position of Guangzhou magistrate for the fourth year. This year was a critical year. If his evaluation results were excellent this year, he was expected to be transferred back to the capital.
However, fate did not work as expected. Japanese invasions occurred frequently along the coast, from Zhejiang to Fujian and then to Guangdong. Three days ago, a Japanese pirate massacre occurred in Huiyang County. More than a hundred villagers were killed. The nature was extremely vile.
The magistrate of Huiyang County sent people to Guangzhou Prefecture overnight to notify the prefect, Fourth Master Song, and Governor Shen of Guangdong. Song Jianming took people to the governor's Yamen to discuss countermeasures with Lord Shen.
In the Song Mansion, the six-year-old Miss Song San, Song Qingyue, was writing a book in her room with a special pen. As for what book she was writing, it turned out to be a comparison table of traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Aunt Chun was carrying a box of snacks and wanted to visit her daughter, but she was blocked by the woman at the far door: "Auntie, the lady told me that no one is allowed to come in and disturb her when she is busy."
Aunt He led a pair of twins, followed by Aunt Qiu who was holding the fifth son and a group of maids and women passing by. Seeing Aunt Chun's embarrassment, they all laughed out loud.
"Haha, what's the use of Third Miss being liked by the master anymore? Hey, I'm not close to you at all, tell me." Aunt Qiu said with ridicule.
Aunt Chun lowered her head and said nothing. She put the food box into the caretaker's hand and left with tears in her eyes and a lot of resentment and grievance.
Aunt He looked at the Moyuxuan where the third sister lived, which was spacious and bright. There was a pond in the yard and the swings and slides made by her father with pillars. Her eyes were red with jealousy.
Grandma Qin immediately said in a weird voice: "These three girls are really evil. They lock themselves in the room all day and don't go anywhere. I think they are freaks!"
"Who says it's not the case? He doesn't look like a child at all. He has a bad temper and a tough temper. He might have raised a white-eyed wolf." Aunt Qiu sang with Aunt Qin.
In the afternoon, Fourth Master Song returned home. Aunt He prepared a table of good wine and food, waiting for Fourth Master to come over and eat together. Unexpectedly, Xiao Si from the main hall came to report that the Master had left the house again, and that he was taking the three with him.
The girl left the house together.
Aunt He bit her lip and twisted the handkerchief in her hands, feeling extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
Since three years ago, on the day of her twins' full moon wedding, the third girl who had not spoken to each other for three years suddenly spoke up, and Fourth Master Song gradually began to dote on the third girl like crazy.
Not only did he give the third girl Mo Yuxuan the best apartment, which is the best away from the main hall, to live alone, but he also took her with him anytime and anywhere. Even in the study room that the fifth and sixth young masters could not enter, the third girl could come and go at will.
Mr. Song was very impatient in teaching the fifth and sixth young masters, and often beat and scolded them, but he could hold the third girl on his lap and teach her to read every day. His madness even made Mr. Song lose interest in women.
Aunt Chun chatters all day long. Fourth Master Song has long been tired of her and is unwilling to step into her courtyard. However, Fourth Master Song rarely even enters the door of Aunt Qiu's room. The other two are brought from the capital.
When Xia Feng came, Dong Mei also completely fell out of favor.
This third girl is simply a little vixen!
"Tell me, Fourth Master, did he treat Third Miss..." Aunt He twisted the handkerchief in her hands, with a ferocious look on her face.
Aunt Qin immediately stopped her and said, "Hey, my aunt! You can talk nonsense, be careful not to let Fourth Master find out!"
Aunt He flicked the handkerchief to fan herself angrily. It wasn't that she thought too much, it was because Fourth Master Song doted on the third girl so much that he went crazy!
Of course she wouldn't know that three years ago, Song Qingyue used her pocket money to buy potatoes, corn and peppers grown in the yard with the old priest and gave them to her handsome father.
So Mr. Song tried planting potatoes on Aunt He’s dowry farm for a year, and it turned out that the yield of potatoes per acre could be as high as eight or nine hundred kilograms!
The yield of corn per mu can be as high as 500 to 600 kilograms, and corn particles and leaves are also very good feed, and can be fed to chickens, pigs, and cattle.
Mr. Song's chicken farm was prospering, and farmers near Guangzhou Prefecture also began to imitate Mr. Prefect to raise chickens.
In addition, the yield of corn is much higher than that of soybeans, and it is drought-resistant, making it very suitable for feeding horses. After vigorous promotion by the imperial court, horses in the army now eat beans and corn, and the cost of raising horses has been reduced a lot.
Song Jianming reported the status of two crops to the court through Master Shen. The entire court was shocked. After a season of trial planting, it was discovered that Master Song and Master Shen did not exaggerate.
It is said that the emperor laughed up to the sky in the Jinluan Palace for this reason, and specially awarded more gold and silver to Lord Shen, the governor of Guangdong, and Lord Song, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture.
In addition, Mr. Song's "Song Laosi Brand Chili Sauce" also sold very well. In two years, Mr. Song made a lot of money, and he was no longer the poor concubine of the Song family.
I think back then, Song Silang, who was in his prime, was the leader among the children of the Song family in Jiangling. He passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, but his family forced him to detain him for three years before letting him take the imperial examination. At the age of nineteen, he was appointed by the emperor as Tanhualang. Everyone.
It is said that his articles are on par with those of Zhuangyuan Gong, but Song Silang's appearance is so beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, and a handsome man like jade. The eldest daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs' family took a look at him, even if he knew that he was the Song family.
Even the concubine from the side branch would not marry him.
In this way, Song Silang of Jiangling became prosperous in the capital. During his tenure as a concubine, the emperor often called him to the imperial study room to speak, and he was also asked to give lectures to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and other princes.
After staying in the Hanlin Academy for three years, Song Jianming, the fourth general of the Song Dynasty, was promoted to the director of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry under the operation of the Yue family. Because he was very successful in shipbuilding, he was promoted to Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry in just two years, and his promotion speed was unparalleled.
Can outperform him.
Just when Song Silang was proud of his success and thought he could continue to be promoted in the capital, he was forced to transfer to the Lingnan area far away from the emperor to make way for the Song family's direct branch chief, Fang Fang, to the Guangzhou Prefecture.
There are unwritten rules in the DPRK that officials from the same family cannot serve as senior officials in central government agencies at the same time, and there must be an outsider.
The transfer areas are generally very far away from the capital, and you cannot always show your face in front of the emperor, so your promotion speed will naturally be slow. Who knows when the emperor will forget you in that remote corner.
So Mr. Song, who first arrived in Guangzhou, came with aggrievedness and anger.
Who knew that Song Silang was the chosen one!
Having a baby girl is not only a super genius, but also his lucky star! Even though he is thousands of miles away in the Lingnan area, he, Song Silang, can still look good in front of His Majesty!
Ha ha ha ha!
The fourth master of Song Dynasty put his hands on his hips and looked proud. How could he not worship his little lucky star like a Bodhisattva?
