Chapter 275 My Mother Is a Reasonable General's Wife 23
Chapter 275 My mother is a reasonable general’s wife (23)
The merchants didn't know about the mawei part in their peripheral vision. In their eyes, they only saw the rules of Luocheng people.
In the past, this kind of order could only be seen in the capital or in places where literati gathered.
But now that it happened in the desolate Luocheng, it was really weird no matter how you looked at it.
As the guard read out the jobs one by one, the steward's eyes were full of surprise: There are so many jobs in Luocheng.
Seeing that even children were given the job of pushing snow, the manager finally understood why the streets in Luocheng were so clean.
However, Luocheng's snow clearing tool is quite interesting. It's just a piece of wood and a stick, and when you push it out flatly, a large area of the ground will be cleared.
It's more like play than work.
There were also a few children who were mumbling something while pushing the snow.
The steward walked over curiously and listened, only to find that what they were reciting was actually the Three-Character Sutra.
This is a bit strange!
The steward used a few candied fruits to find out the whole story from one of the little children. It turned out that Uncle Changbei asked Aunt Yu Xin to write these three-character sutras at the door of the uncle's house every day.
Moreover, Uncle Changbei promised that as long as some of them can memorize these things by the spring of next year, Uncle Changbei will pay for them to study.
But the premise is that they must be from Luocheng, Jicheng or Zecheng.
If you want to join these three cities, you must meet the standards required by Northland.
In order to seize this opportunity to change their family background, those families who wanted to change their families were jealous. Not only did they work frantically, but they also carefully urged their children to make progress.
Only those things that you have worked hard for will be cherished.
Children also begin to take pride in learning.
As for those children who were exiled, although they cannot take the examination for merit and honor, this does not delay their studies.
Most of the people who can be exiled to the North have some skills, at least not lacking in cultural level.
Therefore, I also understand Yu Guang's thoughts better. With Yu Guang's big move, the Northland will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.
Although they were punished and could not return to Beijing for three generations, they could still learn more and find a good job in the North, which was better than having to do hard labor every day.
As a result, the sound of children reading could be heard all over the Northland.
After listening to the child's explanation, the steward couldn't help but sigh: This Changbei Hou really has some tricks!
The more I thought about it, the more I realized how powerful Yu Guang was, and the steward was filled with awe of Yu Guang.
Before they even meet, most of the people are intimidated.
At this moment, a guard from the uncle's mansion saw the steward: "Where did you come from and why are you wandering at the gate of the uncle's mansion in Changbei."
Feeling that if he didn't speak, the other party would probably stab him in the head, so the manager hurriedly revealed his identity.
Hearing that the other party was here to buy goods, the guard's expression relaxed: "Since you are here to buy, let's go to the shopping street in the west of the city. Aunt Yu Xin happened to be doing some sorting there today."
Seeing the opponent's cold weapon, the steward nodded quickly: "We'll go there right away."
The guard was talking to Yu Guang on one side, and on the other side, the excited child had already run to look for Yu Xin: "Aunt, aunt, a caravan is coming to discuss business with you."
Yu Xin responded with a smile, grabbed a handful of fried soybeans and stuffed them into the child's pocket: "It's very well done."
The child covered his pocket with a look of surprise. This was a good thing. He wanted to take it back to his father and grandfather to enjoy.
Yu Xin ordered his servants to burn the earth dragon even hotter. The uncle said that what they wanted to sell was not only the goods, but also the shops in the city.
As the setting sun set, Yu Xin returned to the uncle's house with a disappointed look on her face.
At this time, Yu Guang was leaning on the kang reading a book, while Yu Jing was gently beating her legs.
Seeing Yu Xin entering the house with a lonely expression, Yu Jing asked softly: "Is the business not done?"
Yu Xin felt a little unmotivated: "The business has been completed, 1,500 kilograms of wool and 15,000 taels, plus a hundred sets of bamboo needles and an embroidery girl."
They don't have a lot of wool in stock this year, so it would be better to put out a few more.
Yu Jing's expression was a little confused: "Isn't this a deal? Why do you still look so unhappy? Could it be that someone has the intention of taking something by force?"
Yu Xin found a comfortable position and nestled in Ruantan Mountain: "Luocheng belongs to my uncle, not to mention that he is a general. Just look at His Majesty standing behind, no one dares to cause trouble."
This time, without waiting for Yu Jing to ask, Yu Guang gave the answer directly: "The shop is not going well."
Yu Xin let out a dull sigh: She no longer wanted to ask her uncle how he knew, it was true that it didn't go well anyway.
Seeing the smile between Yu Guang's eyebrows, Yu Xin's voice was a little anxious: "How can you still laugh?"
Yu Qing glanced at her with a smile: "I only said that the shops would be opened, but I didn't say when the shops would be opened. Now is not a good time. Even if I exempt them from taxes, they will not attract big merchants. Instead, they will be left behind.
My own name."
After hearing this, Yu Xin finally gained some energy: "Then what are your plans."
Yu Guang gently turned the page of the book again: "Wait"
There is no problem that time cannot solve.
Then Yu Guang's smile faded, okay, this sentence is not absolute.
From that day on, merchants came to Beidi one after another.
During the Chinese New Year, Yu Guang asked craftsmen to make many fireworks, feasting the eyes of the people in the three cities.
Now they have cotton clothes on their bodies, copper coins in their pockets, food in their bowls, and hope to live.
I just hope that Uncle Changbei can stay in Beidi for a long time and never leave.
And those families with daughters also love their girls more and more: Aunt Changbeihou, Yu Jing, and Yu Xin are all women, and they can be independent like men. If they train themselves, it will be okay in the future.
The most important thing is that most of the people working in Uncle Changbei's house are women. Can they look forward to it?
When the fireworks lit up, I took a jar of wine directly to the roof and started drinking to myself.
Her blood is cold no matter what. I don't know if wine will help.
Yu Jing stared at Yu Guang nervously, not only afraid that Yu Guang would drink too much and fall off the top, but also afraid that Yu Guang would catch a cold.
You must know that now her honor, disgrace, and even her wealth and life are tied to Yu Guang.
Nothing can happen to my uncle.
Yu Xin, on the other hand, stared at the sky and smiled like a fool.
Although fireworks are set off every year in the Imperial City, she has never been so close to them like now.
What a beauty!
Seeing Yu Xin's heartless look, Yu Jing pushed her speechlessly: "Don't you care about my uncle?"
I really don’t know what the uncle sees in Yu Xin. It can be seen just from daily contact: the uncle is closer to Yu Xin than to himself.
I just don’t know what it is about Yu Xin that catches my uncle’s eye.
Yu Xin looked up at Yu Guang again, and then shook her head at Yu Jing: "Don't worry about uncle, she doesn't have us in her heart now. It would be a pity not to watch such beautiful fireworks. Don't let uncle down."
The uncle who climbed so high must be missing someone important, because if she was thinking about someone, she would do it quietly and not want to be disturbed.
