Although the British government does not have to worry about housing, it still has to worry about food and drink.
"If each house wants to buy private property, it is up to each house to negotiate. However, the government still has to send people to the north to buy some properties. For example, some servants must be selected to go there and take care of the shop. Otherwise, how can the family eat and drink?
At that time, I'm afraid that the property in Nanjing will have to be sold or disposed of, and then sending people over to take care of it will be a long and inconvenient journey."
The lady said to her children and grandchildren.
Zhang Fu nodded: "Mother is very worried. I will send someone to the north to buy some property today."
After looking around, he said with a smile: "You still have fifteen unmarried grandchildren. This property is too small, and I'm afraid I won't be able to move it around."
The madam took a look and saw that it was not the case. The hall was full of children and grandchildren.
It is said that she is very lucky. Her man was made a Duke and can enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple. She herself was made a Lady, her son is also a Duke, her only daughter is a noble concubine, her two sons are also high-ranking officers in the army, and her grandchildren are all promising.
But with a house full of children and grandchildren, it would cost a lot to throw away.
The madam smiled and shook her head, "I don't care about that, I'll leave it to you to worry about your own affairs."
"Mother, you can't ignore it. We have seven grandchildren," Ms. Hou joked.
After Mrs. Hou finished speaking, Zhang's eyes widened. He has seven children, and they are all waiting to be married.
Come and strike him with lightning.
Huo Xi smiled and said to her cousins Jingwan and Jingxian on both sides: "Look at your father, I'm afraid he doesn't want to abandon you."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Zhang Fu laughed and scolded Zhang? He has no future. But his big house is now the same as the third house, and he still has four children to be married. He has to buy property in the north, which is not easy.
"My father-in-law and my two uncles can send people to buy more farms. If they are not satisfied, they can go to the counties and towns around Beijing to look for them. They can keep them for themselves, or they can resettle their clan members. If it is later, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy suitable ones.
of."
As soon as Mu Yan finished speaking, Zhang Fu nodded, "Exactly, we should buy more land, and we should buy more family land."
The Zhang family is such a big clan, and there are quite a few people in it.
Huo Xi was thinking about clan studies and reminded: "Father also wants to buy another house for clan studies."
"Nanny is right, I wrote it down for my father."
Everyone had a good time chatting about some household matters.
Before lunch, Huo Nian and Huo Xi were relaxing in the house and whispered: "Sister helped me buy a lot of properties in the north. Do I want to tell my father? Let him use it to settle the clan members?"
Huo Xi looked at him with great relief. Nian'er was now a qualified heir apparent. He was much more mature in dealing with people and always considered his family and clan members.
"It's up to my father to do this. And it's just begun now. We still need to see what the tribesmen think. When they really need it, you can help them get more support. It's like this with everything. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help in the snow. You
Only when others really need your help can you reflect your value and let others remember your goodness."
"And many tribesmen are used to living in the south of the Yangtze River, so they may not necessarily move back to the north."
Huo Nian nodded: "Well, I listen to my sister."
Huo Xi smiled and wanted to pat him on the head. She saw that the child was taller than her. Although he was only fifteen years old, he had already become a sixth-grade hundred household in the Beijing Guard Station by his own ability.
"Learn your skills from your father so that you can take care of your family in the future."
"Well, what Nian'er remembers is to become my sister's support."
Zhang Fu and Mu Yan walked over slowly and happened to hear the conversation between the siblings. Zhang Fu couldn't help but feel comforted. His children were indeed well raised and they were his sons.
The little Yu'er was held by his grandpa. He felt that his grandpa was a little strange and there seemed to be light in his eyes.
Looking more closely, it seemed that the tears were the same as those shed by Xiao Yuer. As if he had discovered something strange, he looked at his father who was a step behind and wanted to share this good thing with his father.
Mu Yan shook his head at him.
When Xiao Yu'er saw it, he shut up. He wrapped his arms around Zhang Fu's neck and lay on his neck. He patted his grandfather's head with his little hands to comfort him.
Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth.
"Son-in-law said, you have something to discuss with your father?" Zhang Fu gathered his emotions and walked up to Huo Xi with Xiao Yu'er in his arms.
Huo Xi glanced at her son and saw that he was obedient and smiled at her son.
He replied: "Yes. The emperor wants to build the Forbidden City, which will consume a lot of money from the treasury. I have a sugar-making method in my hand that I would like to offer to the emperor in exchange for my maternal grandfather's family being exempted from sin."
Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Yuer didn't feel any pain even when he pulled his beard.
Mu Yan reached out and took Xiao Yuer over.
Zhang Fu looked at the empty space in his arms and glared at Mu Yan.
Looking at Huo Xi, he sighed: "A few years ago, I also thought about exonerating your grandfather's family in exchange for military merit. Even if they can't leave the place of exile, it would be better if the family could be exonerated and become common people."
Unfortunately, the emperor never answered his question.
As a minister, he also knew that the emperor resented the old ministers of the previous dynasty. As long as they were around, they would always remind him how he came to the throne. Today, the literati in Jiangnan are still criticizing him verbally and writing.
"What kind of sugar-making method you have, can it be exchanged for your maternal grandfather's family?"
There are more than twenty people in the Li family now. What kind of secret method can exonerate so many people?
Huo Xi turned around and looked. She had just asked the maid to get the things she had brought.
Seeing Dongxue's figure appear on the road ahead, he said to Zhang Fu: "My sugar making method is very profitable. My father will know it when he sees it. And of course this alone is not enough."
Over the years, my grandma's family took the overseas high-yield seeds she sent to them and took them to the exile village and nearby villagers to plant them. After cultivating the local soil in the past few years, the seeds have adapted well, are not acclimatized, and have been producing high yields year after year. It's just the right time.
Emperor Yongkang wants to move the capital and build the city of Beijing with millions of people. In addition, there are so many people in the military camp in the north who need to eat and drink. A lot of money and food will be spent every day. If there is high-yield food, plus the sugar production method that can make money
, I should be able to make a deal with the emperor and exonerate my grandfather and his family.
When Zhang Fu heard this, high-yield grain was good, but it was not enough to impress the emperor.
"Girl, the things are here."
Huo Nian knew about his sister's sugar shop. Over the years, he had secretly eaten white sugar and wanted to share it with his father countless times, but his sister repeatedly ordered him not to leak it, so he never told his father or family.
It was so uncomfortable to hold it in. Now when I saw the jars Qiu Shuang brought, I knew what was in them.
His eyes lit up: "Father, this is really a good thing. My sister has made a lot of money with this in the past ten years!"
The newly opened Sihai Bank in the capital is dedicated to providing convenience for businessmen traveling around. Because of its good service, timely exchange of money, and many outlets, it has attracted businessmen from all over the country to flock to it. It was opened by my sister.
"More than ten years?" What good thing has earned me more than ten years of money?
