In the afternoon, as soon as Huangfu Xin got the news that Mrs. Huangfu was not going to the capital, he came over and killed her without even eating.
"Sister-in-law, are you crazy?" Huangfu Xin walked in and headed towards Mrs. Huangfu's room.
Mrs. Huangfu was leaning on the quilt, closing her eyes and concentrating. It was obvious that the decision she made today made her feel uncomfortable.
"Auntie, the old lady is tired and is resting!" Aunt Ju quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Aunt Ju, it's okay, you can go out first!" Mrs. Huangfu opened her eyes and said.
Aunt Ju quickly nodded and walked out.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think? We bought our house, and this time the Queen came to greet us in person. Why don't you go back? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The capital city is our home, don't you?
Don’t you think your ancestors have been here in Chu Han for generations?” Huangfu whispered in his heart.
Mrs. Huangfu sat up straight and said, "Don't get excited yet. Sit down and listen to me!"
Huangfu bit his lip and whispered, "Can I not be excited? It's been almost forty years. I've been dreaming about it. What I'm thinking about is that I can go back to our home at that time. I would rather that none of this happened. Now
I finally had such an opportunity, but my sister-in-law gave up! If my sister-in-law doesn’t go back, how can I go back? Is it because I said those words about making Old Wu a high official a few days ago? Sister-in-law, do you still think of me like this? I was just joking
, do you take it seriously?”[
Old Mrs. Huangfu stepped forward and quickly pulled Huangfu's heart onto the bed, sat down and said, "Xin'er, I also want to go back. After all, it is our home, but after so many years, I have become accustomed to it. Jinyu grew up here.
, Let alone Zhao Xiaomai, is it appropriate for Jin Yu and Zhao Xiaomai to leave their hometown for us now? Besides, in the capital, we have no relatives or friends left, so why go back? On the contrary, here, now it has become
Our hometown!”
Huangfu frowned and asked suddenly: "Sister-in-law, if you don't want to go, are you reluctant to let go of someone? A while ago, someone said that they saw you holding a lamp and whispering to the old village chief on the road in the middle of the night. Is this the case?
thing?"
Mrs. Huangfu was startled and immediately became angry, "Huangfu Xin, you are not a child of that age now. You are almost fifty now, and you are also a teacher in the school. A group of juniors below are watching, why are you speaking so rudely?"
Responsible? It's not enough for others to smear your sister-in-law's face, you have to smear it yourself?"
Huangfu Xin was scolded by Mrs. Huangfu, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and whispered, "Then why do you tell me, why don't you go back? This is an opportunity that many people are looking forward to! Tieshuan is talking to those in the village.
He said that everyone went to the capital happily. It was the capital, and at the foot of the world, it was a place where everyone dreamed of going, but the sister-in-law refused to go. By doing this, you not only hurt Yiqing's heart, but also hurt Jinyu and Xiaomai's.
Where’s the heart? How do you know they don’t want to go?”
Mrs. Huangfu sighed. She also saw the surprised expressions of Jinyu and Xiaomai during lunch. Maybe they all thought she would decide to go to the capital. After all, she was worried about Abao before and stayed in the capital for a while.
Time, who knew she would make this decision, but she also knew that going to the capital would bring a lot of trouble to Chu Yiqing!
"Is Madam at home?" Suddenly, Hu Zi Niang's joyful voice came from the yard, and soon Jin Yu was heard welcoming her out.
"Hu Zi Niang, what's the matter?" Jin Yu's voice was a little weak, as if she couldn't cheer up.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Hu Ziniang asked quickly.
Jin Yu shook his head.
"That's it. Didn't the magistrate say that the imperial court issued an order for us to go to the capital to serve as officials? Hehe, I was thinking, haven't you been to the capital before, so I wanted to ask what you need to bring, this table and chairs, etc.
Do you want to move it? I'm not too tired, but I'm afraid the journey is too far..." Hu Zi's face was full of joy. She never dreamed that Hu Zi's father, Li Changhe, could become an eighth-grade agricultural officer.
, the master in this town is only in the ninth rank, and now Hu Zi’s father’s official position is greater than the master in the town, the leader of the online gaming demon sect!
"Everyone will make arrangements for you wherever you go. Just bring your own clothes and belongings. Lucheng is far away, so it's inconvenient to bring too many things!" Jin Yu said immediately.
"Hey, that's good, I know, I'll go back and prepare now! Huzi was very happy when he heard that he could go to the capital. This kid doesn't like studying, so he just wants to go out and have a try. Now he has been given a chance!
"After Hu Zi Niang finished speaking, she was still not happy to see Jin Yu and asked, "Madam, when are you going to set off? Should we go together? There is also a care for us when we are together, right?"
Jin Yu shook her head and said, "I won't go home. My mother doesn't want to leave this place!"
Hu Zi Niang was startled, thought for a while and said, "That's right. Now that you have a big business here, you are indeed reluctant to give up. No better than us. We are just mud-legged people in the countryside here. When we enter the town, the people in the town are still...
You look down on us!"
Jin Yu was upset and didn't want to answer Hu Zi Niang's question, so she fell silent.[
Seeing Jin Yu in such a state, Hu Zi Niang couldn't say anything else and left quickly.
Huangfuxin was listening in the room and lowered his voice and said: "Sister-in-law, did you hear that? Jinyu is unhappy. You still don't know that Jinyu is an official fan? She was so happy when Xiaomai could become the village chief. Now she is so happy.
Even Hu Zi's father has become an eighth-grade agricultural officer, and Wheat is nothing, who can you ask to reason? Besides, if you don't think about Jin, Jade and Wheat, why don't you think about Ah Jin, Ah Yin, and Pan'er?
When they arrived in the capital, Mai became an official. Ah Jin, Ah Yin, and Pan'er were no longer country boys. Think about how much Jin Yu had worried about Mai Xiang's marriage. She thought in her heart, isn't it just because
Mai Xiang is a country boy? No matter how rich we are, we are still rich and powerful in the village, which is different from the officials in the capital!"
Mrs. Huangfu was speechless.
"Sister-in-law, I don't care anyway. If you don't want to go back, I can go back. You can't live in that big house, but I can. I've suffered so much in this country, and I can't let Yao'er continue to be a dirt-leg in this country!"
Huangfu stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.
Mrs. Huangfu whispered: "What's wrong with this countryside? You still look down on this countryside!"
"If you think it's good, you can stay here for the rest of your life. Anyway, I won't stay here anymore. I'm going to find Yiqing now. Don't stop me. I know Yiqing is back. I told Yiqing that I will go back.
! Just for the sake of my aunt, Yiqing has no choice but to let me go back!" Huangfu Xin said, and was about to go out to find Yiqing.
Jin Yu heard the noise, came in from outside, and whispered, "Girl, what are you doing? Why are you arguing with my mother again?"
When Huangfu Xin saw Jin Yu coming, he took Jin Yu's hand and asked, "You came just in time, tell me, are you willing to return to the capital? The winter here freezes to death, do you really want to stay here for generations?"
it's here?"
Jin Yu hesitated slightly, looked at Mrs. Huangfu and said, "Girl, Mom's decision must be reasonable. Mom is right. We are both natives of the country. We go there to make people laugh, and to make girls laugh.
It’s causing trouble!”
When Mrs. Huangfu said this before, she thought there was no problem. Now when she heard it coming from Jin Yu's mouth, she immediately heard that there was a problem. No wonder Jin Yu was unhappy all afternoon. Could it be that she thought her mother
Do you dislike her?
"Jinyu, that's not what mother meant, what mother meant was..." Mrs. Huangfu quickly explained.
"Mom, don't say it. I know. I originally thought you would go back. Although Xiaomai and I are reluctant to leave here, but for the sake of mother and the future of our children, and we are so close to each other across the fragrance of wheat, I feel that it is too late to go back.
OK, after all, we are at the feet of the emperor. But after mother said this, I also felt that I was embarrassing my sister by going there. Last time when Mai Xiang came back, she also said that those official ladies looked down on Mai Xiang just because there were girls here.
, they don’t dare to go too far. They are very friendly on the surface, but secretly they don’t know how to talk about Mai Xiang! Mai Xiang is like this, let alone an old woman like me who speaks with a local accent. Mom, if you want to go back with the girl, you
Just go back, I, Wheat, Ah Jin, and Ah Yinpan'er will stay here, so as not to embarrass you. Read the full text of "The Peak and Powerful Man"!" Jin Yu said, her face downcast.
"What do you mean? When did I think you were embarrassing me?" Mrs. Huangfu became anxious when she heard this, "You are my daughter, how can I dislike my own daughter? I said that,
You think of us as a whole. You said that our whole family is gone and we have no power and power, and we still need your sister to take care of us. What's the matter? Those people don't find a gap in us to attack your sister first?
Mom grew up in the capital, don’t you understand the rules of survival there? With your straight temper, you can just make trouble with your mother. What if you offend someone and implicate the whole country? What should we do now?
Your sister’s glory is big enough, what’s wrong here? The fiefdom belongs to A Bao, and Tie Shuan is the prefect. In Chu Han, our world is ours, so why go to the capital to cause trouble for your sister?”
Jin Yu was picked apart by Mrs. Huangfu and stood there silently.
"Your sister is leaving with the long-term workers and the villagers because the capital needs them. They are here to work, and they are also your sister's people. They are not like us, they are your sister's relatives! This is the point.
Why don't you understand?" Mrs. Huangfu sighed.
Huangfu saw that Jinyu was suddenly silenced by the old lady Huangfu. He was afraid that Jinyu would also change his mind. Just when he was about to say something, he was kicked out by the old lady Huangfu. "You go home first. If Yiqing says it can be used,
With Lao Wu, you go with Lao Wu. If you don't need it, I won't allow you to use the name of your god aunt to suppress Yi Qing. To be honest with you, you are not Yi Qing's god aunt. Yi Qing recognizes it.
I’m your godmother, but I don’t recognize you!”
Huangfu Xin was kicked out by Mrs. Huangfu, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "This old lady is really stubborn!"
Huangfu thought about it and realized that it was not appropriate to go to Chu Yiqing now, so he had to go home and persuade Wu Laowu to go to Tieshuan to sign up. In any case, Wu Laowu was also a good farmer now, and he was in charge of Zhao.
There are people from every village!
Mrs. Huangfu drove Huangfu Xin away and returned to the house. When she saw Jin Yu still sitting on the kang in a daze, she said, "Jin Yu, I know you want to go out for the sake of Ah Jin and Ah Yin, but think about it.
Tieshuan also came from the village, and now he has become the prefect. If Ah Jin competes with Ah Yin, will your sister treat them badly? And Pan'er, with Mai Xiang, your biological sister, how can you not marry into a good family? Yi Qing is
We can’t let go of us, and we can’t let go of her, but we also need to be self-aware. Sun Mingfa can do all the work of the Wheat Association. Now Sun Mingfa can do everything by himself. Unlike us, who have a big family and a family, we can just do it.
Don’t go and cause trouble for your sister! When do you want to go to the capital? During the off-season, we will go as a family and live in the capital for two months, but this is still our home! This is your sister’s hard work, said
Maybe when your sister gets old, she will still want to come back, so you and Xiaomai have to protect it for your sister!"
Jin Yu raised her head, and Mrs. Huangfu's words made her truly relieved. She asked in a low voice: "Mom, do you really dislike me and Xiaomai? Are you afraid that we will make people laugh?"
Mrs. Huangfu sighed, stepped forward and sat next to Jin Yu, and whispered, "Mother, how can you dislike your own children? You are so stupid!"
Jin Yu laughed softly, it was finally clear after the rain.
Chu Yiqing was listening outside the door, turned around and looked outside. Everything in this village was earned by her. Mrs. Huangfu was right. One day when she is old, she still wants to come back. Let Jin Yu do it here.
Let Zhao Xiaomai guard it for her!
According to the list given by Chu Yiqing, Tie Shuan told the people on the list the stakes. As soon as those people heard that they could go to the capital, have food, housing and wages, they naturally expressed a hundred offers and all signed.
The new employment contracts are not open to the public. After all, the country has laws, and those who are officials cannot be slaves. They can only be used as a certificate for Chu Yiqing to bind these people.
So on the second day after Chu Yiqing left Shangjia Village, Li Changhe's family, Luan Er's family, Jin Suo, Sun Mingfa, Yu Langtou and Wu Laowu's family all gathered in the Zhao family's house to listen to Huangfu's family.
Tai taught me the rules of the capital city and prepared to go to the capital city in a month.
In Chu Han City, Li Huang, A Bao and Blessing had been waiting for Chu Yiqing for five days. On this day, the father and son really couldn't wait. A Bao wanted to go back to Shangjia Village again, so the three of them took
Following the nanny, he headed towards the famous town.
As soon as a group of people left Chu Han, they saw a horse approaching quickly. With sharp eyes, Abao recognized Chu Yiqing at a glance. He quickly stretched his head out of the carriage and waved his hand towards Chu Yiqing.
"Mother, mother, are you back?" Abao shouted loudly.
"Hey!" Chu Yiqing pulled the reins of the horse, controlled the horse, looked at Li Huang who poked his head out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Are you impatient?"
Li Huang nodded and said, "No, I wish I couldn't sleep well these past few nights and I keep looking for you!"
Chu Yiqing quickly dismounted, handed the horse to his entourage, and quickly got into the carriage.
Blessing was lying on the carriage at the moment, drowsy. He seemed to hear Chu Yiqing's voice and quickly opened his eyes and stared at Chu Yiqing closely.
"My dear son, do you miss your mother?" Chu Yiqing first picked up Blessing, and then hugged A'Bao, but A'Bao resisted and stepped aside, muttering in a low voice, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Just hold your blessings!"
Chu Yiqing laughed and said, "Don't think that my mother only cares about blessings and not caring about you!"
Abao twisted his face, "When did I say this?"
Chu Yiqing and Li Huang couldn't help but look at each other and laughed.
"How is it? Is there anything unusual happening in Rao Kingdom?" Li Huang left the palace this time. On the one hand, he wanted to accompany Chu Yiqing back. The other reason was that he received a secret report from Rao Kingdom's spies, saying that Emperor Rao had secretly brought him back. Someone had infiltrated Chu Han, so he left the palace secretly and wanted to find out for himself.
"Liu Qian stayed at the house where Liu Yi got married for a while and then left, and then returned to Rao country via Chu Han. Judging from the situation, he came simply for Liu Yi to get married!" Li Huang said, and asked, "What's your matter? How did it go?"
"Everything went well. It's just that my mother and Sister Jinyu are unwilling to go to the capital. However, I have asked Tieshuan to come forward and bring five or six families to the capital. They are all good at farming and raising fish. With them here, the capital will definitely become the successor. After Chu Han, there was a city with prosperous agriculture and commerce!"
"It's a good thing you came up with this trick, it's called using a point to lead a face..." Li Huang really couldn't remember Chu Yiqing's new word.
"Highlight the key points, use points to promote the situation, and accelerate the country's plan!" Chu Yiqing said word by word, "It is to use Chu Han's manpower advantage to build the capital into a super city, thereby driving the economic development of the country!"
Li Huang smiled and said: "You are the only one with many bad ideas. The previous policy of encouraging farmers to reclaim wasteland has begun to bear fruit!"
Li Huang said, showing Chu Yiqing the memorials submitted from various places.
Since the dividend policy for reclamation of wasteland and the policy of not collecting any taxes for three years for foreign farmers to migrate were promulgated on August 15th of last year, many people have reclaimed and planted even many barren lands in Li State. Now is spring. The new year begins with spring, and all parts of the country are showing a prosperous situation.
After Chu Yiqing looked at it, he nodded, "Then let's set our goal on policies to encourage agriculture. As for Luo Country, since they are closed to the outside world, we will help them!"
In the late Qing Dynasty, the rulers were afraid that coastal merchants would do more business with foreigners, which would threaten the imperial rule of the Qing Dynasty, so they closed the country to the outside world. This was similar to what the Luo State did now. The Qing Dynasty closed the country to the outside world, which caused modern China to lag far behind the West, causing modern China to fall behind and be beaten. The situation. Fundamentally speaking, it was a policy of passive defense and a policy that went against the trend of historical development. It eventually led to the Qing Dynasty's separation from the world trend, which further led to occlusion, stagnation, and regression.
The consequences of the Qing Dynasty's seclusion have been verified by history. Now that Qu Yi is seeking death, no one can stop him!
"Then Chu Han's sea passage..." Li Huang was a little worried. As a result, Li Guo's economy would also suffer.
"We can open a sea route to Dai State, so that both land and water can be used to strengthen the friendly commercial relations with Dai State. That Ruiao is a talent, and Dai State will definitely be extraordinary in the future!" Ruiao is gentle and polite, and he is not ashamed to ask questions. Chu Yiqing believes that the future will be great. This is the world of Li and Dai!
