Number of People

Chapter 1885: The Renzi scroll is pictured slowly, and

  Chapter 1885, the Renzi scroll is slowly drawn, and the picture is poor.

  Looking at Yingchun's peaceful sleeping face, Feng Ziying tucked in the quilt for her with some compassion.

  He can understand the difficulty of the women in his family.

  One family and three households are facing huge competition. This is especially true for a large family like the Feng family who urgently needs male heirs to continue their success.

Like Erfang, in my old lady's words, Baoqin is nothing, after all, she is still young, but Baochai is just the right age, and her physique looks even more suitable for childbearing than Shen Yixiu. Why has there been no movement for so long? ?

   Yingchun is also under such pressure.

She originally came in as a concubine, with a honest and honest personality, which the old lady likes very much. In terms of physique, she is also very suitable for giving birth to a son, and she has also been silent for so long. It means too much "concern".

  Not to mention welcoming the spring, even Baochai and Baoqin are under tremendous pressure.

  Now my old lady is even a little bit interested in Siqi.

Siqi is now just a Tongfang girl, even the identity of the Tongfang girl is not clear, after all, she is just a concubine's personal maid, and generally speaking, only the personal maid of the mistress is qualified to become a truly famous A maid in the house, but a close-knit maid like a concubine has to be approved by the mistress.

In the old woman's mind, playing chess is undoubtedly the most fertile physique in Feng's residence, with **** and fat buttocks, a strong physique, and not as weak as those maids, although this is not in line with everyone's atmosphere , but for the Duan family, as long as she can give birth to a male heir of the Feng family, she doesn't care about the rest.

   In a short time, the son married two wives, four or five concubines, not counting the maids who were confiscated, why didn't there be any movement?

They all said that her son was suave outside, but there was no movement in the house. Duan wanted to ask Feng Ziying if she had a wife outside. Only one daughter was born, which is too difficult for people to accept.

It is undoubtedly an inappropriate idea to make Siqi pregnant. With this girl's temperament, if she really wants to give birth to a son, the second room will surely turn upside down, and it must be necessary to raise a concubine. Dare to say, but Siqi's fighting power against Baoqin will definitely skyrocket, so the second room will not be quiet.

   From Yingchun's words, it can be heard that the relationship between the two sisters, Baochai and Baoqin, is not as close as imagined.

  Actually, this was within Feng Ziying's expectation.

  Baoqin's character, although Baochai's city is deep and broad-minded, but the priority is orderly, let alone a younger sister, she can't go beyond the rules.

  The conflict between Lingguan and Yinger is nothing more than a "proxy war" between Baoqin and Baochai.

  If Baoqin really conceived and had a child first, it would be a huge trouble. Instead of that, Yingchun conceived and had a child first is an acceptable option for Baochai.

  Yingchun used to be a bit taboo and worried, but now she seems to understand this, so she became more and more anxious.

   Extending from Erfang, Feng Ziying also thought that in the second half of the year, she would talk about marrying Daiyu.

  Although the Civil War has had some impact, things like marrying a wife must be carried out according to the plan, otherwise Daiyu will really be sad.

I don't know if Miaoyu's mentality has changed now, but according to the news from Zijuan, it seems that Miaoyu is now aloof and unyielding, but her relationship with Daiyu is getting closer. There is a slight improvement, but in the eyes of outsiders, it still tastes lukewarm.

   There is also the matter of Tanchun, which also needs to be considered.

  Although the case of the Jia family will definitely not be concluded this year, Feng Ziying firmly believes that when the war comes to an end at the end of the year or even next year, the case of the Jia family will probably come to an end together with other cases of rebellion.

  There may be several outcomes, Feng Ziying also figured it out, the most serious is Jia Jing's side, that is the culprit, and losing his head is a high probability event.

   There is still a difference between Jia She and Jia Zheng.

If Jia Amnesty fails, he will be sent into exile. Jia Zheng may be deprived of all identities and sentenced to imprisonment. She was exiled for two thousand miles, and I don't know if he can survive at his age.

  Tanchun is not young anymore. She will be eighteen or nineteen next year. She is considered an old girl. Even if she is a concubine, she will be a bit too old if she is outside.

And how to include Tanchun is also a problem. It cannot be said that Jia Zhenggang was deprived of his identity and sentenced to prison. He is a real prisoner, but he still wants to accept his daughter as a concubine. This is an insult to the court. It must be to be punished.

   What can be fought for is to try to make Jia Zheng receive dozens of sticks and canes, and then he will be demoted to the people and never hired. Although the stick punishment sounds scary, it can be redeemed with silver. This is also the rule of the court.

Before Tanchun left last night, I repeatedly begged myself to find a way to save other people. This is also a problem. Considering Jia Mu's body is strong, the other party's mentality is also very good, but after staying in this prison for a long time, at such an age, I'm afraid it won't last too long.

  Mother Jia's death has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have many mood swings, but to be honest, he has a good impression of Mother Jia.

  Mother Jia has one of the best eyesight in the entire Jia family. Of course, due to her own factors, she can only do this, so the collapse of the Jia family is inevitable.

   It just takes time and opportunity to save the remaining people, and he can only comfort Tanchun that the future will be long, and he will slowly figure it out.

  Flying with thoughts, Feng Ziying finally felt the onset of drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

  ********

  Anfu businessman has been waiting in Beijing, Feng Ziying finally found time to meet.

  However, after meeting, there was an unexpected surprise, that is, the Anfu businessman's enthusiasm for relocating to Dongfan was stronger than what Gu Dengfeng said, which greatly exceeded Feng Ziying's expectations.

After repeated inquiries, Feng Ziying learned that the Anfu merchants were more active than expected. They have now started farming at the north and south ends of the east, and have formed a benign interaction with the Fujian merchants who developed the salt field in the west. As the southern ministries moved from the west coast to the north, they gradually began to move closer to the Fujian merchants in the western salt field. Now the Fujian merchants have also begun to quietly move from Fujian to the east. This can not only develop the salt field to a greater extent, but also strengthen the their own strength.

  Of course their emigration was not approved by the imperial court, so they could only be mixed in with the actions of the Anfu merchants. The representatives of the Anfu merchants also truthfully reported this to Feng Ziying.

"So, you hope that the imperial court will formally set up a prefecture in Dongfan?" Feng Ziying pondered, "The problem is that you moved only 10,000 to 20,000 people, and they were located at both ends of the north and south, um, plus Fujian." If the one or two thousand people move in, the imperial court will set up prefectures and counties, and there may be hundreds of officials needed, and the safety has not been guaranteed, so the imperial court may not agree to it."

"My lord, there are still a large number of native people in the mountains of Dongfan, and they live together. We and the Fujian people have contacted them, and it is fairly peaceful, but they lack trust in us. In fact, they also know that across the sea is our Great Zhou. , but they have never dealt with the imperial court, so they are more inclined to trust the imperial court government. If the imperial court officials come forward, it may be more helpful to slowly absorb these natives. If there is a dispute, it can be judged by the government, and it can also prevent this kind of dispute from turning into a war. We don’t want this kind of land reclamation to turn into an endless war, so it’s not worthwhile.”

  The attitude of the representatives of Anfu merchants is very straightforward, that is, it is more cost-effective to establish government governance in terms of economic interests.

  Feng Ziying laughed, and suddenly asked: "So, it seems that your reclamation in the north and south has been very smooth, and the harvest has exceeded expectations? Is it big wood or rice, otherwise you would not be so eager."

  The representative of the Anfu businessman was a little embarrassed, but after a moment of hesitation, he admitted, "Don't dare to hide anything from your lord. Both of these aspects are very profitable, so we want to seize the opportunity faster."

Seeing that Feng Ziying was silent, the representative of the Anfu businessman said again: "We also know that the court is in some difficulties now, but we really don't have time to wait. I heard that the Hongmao Fan travels between Japan and Batavia, and keeps spying on Dong Fan. If the court can't The establishment of the government as soon as possible will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Hongmao Fan."

   "You can talk, but it does make sense." Feng Ziying finally nodded, "However, to let the imperial court set up prefectures and counties so abruptly, especially in the current period when the imperial court is still suppressing the rebellion, requires a reason..."

"My lord, we understand the current difficulties of the imperial court. We want to ask your lord to take care of it and express our attitude. We are willing to undertake other development rights of Dongfan in the next ten years except salt and profit..." Anfu businessman representative finally tried his best See.

"Logging? Gold mining? Leather goods?" Feng Ziying smiled, "Your appetite is not small. This is not within the scope of your original reclamation. I remember that the detailed rules of the plan signed by the imperial court and you only agreed to your reclamation." Field land and self-use timber, excluding export sales, the gold mine only agreed to two places,..."

  The representative of the Anfu businessman did not expect Feng Ziying to remember it so clearly. He secretly admired it and nodded repeatedly: "Because of this, we are willing to serve the court again..."

   "This is not called repayment, but paying royalties or resource taxes according to the law..." Feng Ziying waved her hands and laughed.

  The Anfu merchant representative also laughed, "Yes, yes, we are willing to pay the franchise fee, we are willing!"
