Chapter 209 B-word volume decision

  Feng Ziying likes this kind of small talk full of family life, without any pressure from anyone, and can satisfy her gossip all at once.

  He had always been mysterious, yearning and wanting to explore the life in Jia's mansion.

  After all, the book "Dream of Red Mansions" in the previous life shocked the world too much. It is said that anyone with a little bit of elegance and background would be proud to ponder "Dream of Red Mansions".

   This Hongxue has supported countless scholars, and even spawned countless schools.

  Mainland, Taiwan, overseas, colorful, all kinds of whimsical and brain-opening, it is amazing.

  Of course he wouldn’t be so bored as to think about what brand of rouge the ladies of Jia’s mansion use and which brothel or theater the men like to stay in without even caring about their business.

  Keep Lin girl staying in Jia's mansion, he should pay attention to and care about her feelings and reason, public and private, which is also a wish from the heart.

  Ruixiang seems to have faithfully implemented his goal, and it went smoothly, and the task was successfully completed.

"Second Master Lian is very dedicated. Master, I have never seen such a dedicated and hard-working master. He has personally visited the lumber yards in our two villages. Well, he directed people to measure and check in person. Wood quality,…”

   Ruixiang's report is obviously more "accurate" and "professional" than his "report" to Yunshang.

"About the end of November, the construction of the mausoleum has basically stopped, and the accounts will probably start to be settled in October. This is what I inquired from Long'er. The master settled the account of five thousand taels of silver, and he was so happy that he sang a little song. I heard that there was a drunken madness in the house, hehe, give those two handsome people..."

  Seeing Ruixiang's winking expression, Feng Ziying knew what the other party wanted to say, and waved her hand, "Don't bring up such dirty things in front of me, talk about the real thing."

"Yes. On November 20th, Second Master Lian reportedly made another large sum of money, about 30,000 taels of silver. According to Zhaoer, Second Master Lian had a quarrel with Second Mistress after returning home, but later Reconciled, it is said that the Department of Construction and Repairs at the Ministry of Industry took three thousand taels of silver, and originally agreed to pay forty thousand taels, but in the end only gave thirty thousand taels. The money got stuck, so I had to go home holding my breath,…”

   This was all within Feng Ziying's prediction.

   Both the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs have to manage, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng will not be surprised.

  Probably because the lion opened his mouth loudly, which made Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng a little unacceptable for a while, but in the end he had to give in, so he was angry, and the couple had to fight each other.

However, it seems that Jia Lian attaches great importance to this foreign work, so he is so concerned. It is probably because after this cooperation, he can think of him when he can have other livelihoods. From this point of view, Jia Lian is really suitable for the job. A job like a contractor or project manager.

   "I haven't seen the girl from the Xue family, but I have seen the maid of the girl from the Xue family. Lord, this is the first time I have seen such a handsome girl. Well, sister Yunshang doesn't count,..."

As if thinking that what he said might cause trouble, Rui Xiang hurriedly added a sentence, and then said: "I heard that the girl is called Xiang Ling, and I heard from Brother Xing Er that it was bought by Uncle Xue to be a concubine. As a result, the grandma of the Xue family felt that her horoscope was inappropriate, so she refused to allow this girl from Xiangling to follow Uncle Xue, let her follow the girl from the Xue family,..."

   "That girl is really handsome, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and she speaks softly, and she is very kind to our servants, especially there is a cinnabar mole in the eyebrow, which is only for Guanyin Bodhisattva, tsk tsk,..."

  Ruixiang is not new to the world. To be able to praise Ruixiang so much, it is estimated that Xiangling is really pretty. '

  However, history seems to be a bit biased. Feng Ziying remembers that Xiangling was taken over by Xue Pan shortly after arriving in Beijing?

   Or the timeline has not arrived yet, or is there really a deviation that makes Xue Pan's dream come true?

"...Miss Lin doesn't go to the Xue family very much. I haven't seen the girl from the Xue family, and I probably don't go to Miss Lin's place. Well, there seem to be two girls beside Miss Xue, one is that Xiangling, I'm quite familiar with Miss Zijuan, and the other one is Miss Ying'er, she's a little smaller than Miss Xiangling, her eyes look like she's smiling, but I've only met each other, never talked,..."

  Ruixiang now obviously feels that his young master seems to be very interested in Miss Xue's family, which makes him undecided again.

   Isn’t it Miss Lin? Why did you change the girl from the Xue family again?

  Where should this treasure bet?

It turned out that the young master cared so much about Miss Lin, and also heard that Miss Lin's father was the imperial censor, so he felt sure that Miss Lin and the young master would get together, but he also felt that Miss Lin was too thin, and his wife and aunt were afraid Can't agree.

  This Feng family is the young master, the only seedling. The issue of offspring has always been the biggest concern of the Feng family. The young master must marry a young wife who can bear children.

  The wife and concubine have said this many times in front of people, and of course they probably said it to the maids in the mansion, including Yunshang, so they are not allowed to think of the young master.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Ziying signaled that the topic of the girl from the Xue family need not continue. He is just a little curious about Xue Baochai and Xiangling, two women who have a lot of ink in "Dream of Red Mansions". go over there.

The girl has been together for a long time, and the nostalgia she gave birth to is also mixed with a bit of pity. Well, it is more complicated. As for the other women in Jia's mansion, he really has no interest, at least not right now. It is impossible for him to have any ideas and interests before he is over sixteen years old and has not completed his studies.

  After the affairs in the mansion were clarified, Feng Ziying began to read the letters accumulated in the past few months.

   It is really difficult to deliver letters these days. Letters like Dad’s can still be sent back through the post station, but I think Shandong is basically delivered by people.

I heard that there is already a rudimentary form of modern delivery logistics such as the Minxin Bureau in Jiangnan, but the scope is not large and the scale is also small. Generally, it is more popular in South Zhili and Liangzhe, but not so much in the northern commerce and trade industry. In developed areas, it is rare.

  Like Jingshi, they still rely more on entrusting special personnel to deliver, but how can ordinary people afford to hire them?

In fact, a round of reforms can be carried out on the post station system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can not only improve the efficiency of imperial post station transmission, but also consider commercial operation, but this point cannot be raised rashly, and a more careful plan.

   At the very least, it can prevent a post station employee from being laid off and cause some unpredictable things to happen, right? One less spark is counted as one.

  The situation in Yulin Town is very bad. The vacancy of troops has reached 30% or even 40%. This is a frontier army, not an ordinary guard town. Such a high shortage means that once there is a major war, a crisis will appear.

There are many reasons for the vacancy, not only the soldiers’ salaries and rations cannot keep up with the soldiers fleeing, but also some generals below have emptied the quota, and some of them are simply nominal, but in fact they have already done their own business. Impossible to complete.

  Papa still has political wisdom and means.

   Those who are too out of line, choose one or two to kill chickens and monkeys, it is really not good, just send them out to patrol the border, and then destroy the group, many people will naturally restrain themselves a lot.

The fat sheep should still be looking for it. How to connect with those black hands in his own army is the best way to kill two birds with one stone, but this requires careful planning, and it will have to wait until the old man completely controls the situation in Yulin Town It can only be implemented later, and now it has to suffer.

   All in all, everything is barely smooth.

  Of course it is impossible to write so straightforwardly in the letter. Before the father went to Yulin, the two had already agreed on some obscure terms, which are not considered passwords, but by mentioning one word, at least Feng Ziying can understand the meaning.

The situation in Shandong is going smoothly, and the Fengrunxiang store in Dongchang Mansion has also opened. Thanks to Linqing's foreshadowing and the endorsement of the magistrate, the situation in Dongchang Mansion should be better than expected, which also makes The Xue family is full of confidence in opening up the situation in Jinan Prefecture and even the entire Shandong province next year.

   But this is not what Feng Ziying is most concerned about. What he is most concerned about is Duan Xigui's learning and training of those young people.

According to what Duan Xigui said, this group of children have studied very well, some of them have good understanding and talent, and they cherish the opportunity given to them very much, so they study very hard, and their progress is also great, even Duan Xigui was surprised How could this group of children accept this kind of knowledge that is useless at the moment so quickly.

  Feng Ziying also burst out laughing when she saw this. It is precisely this kind of blank slate that makes it easier for children to learn. For adults who already have the original memory, it is the most difficult to adapt and re-learn.

Of course, there is still a problem for these children, that is, after learning these things, it is like dragon slaying, useless, and they have to learn to be familiar with the existing various counting and accounting methods, and then After comparing the two, gradually learn the familiar exchange, and then enter the business system that I have gradually constructed.

This seems far away, but Feng Ziying has already determined his goal. He doesn't have the ability to make steel and chemical industry now, but business development and colonization only need to know one way, and then he has enough power in his hands. And capital, you can start.

  The land and gold sand of Dongfan, the spices and land of Nanyang, the population and market of Japan and even North Korea, all these will be included in the scope of future planning.

   This may be an important means for Dazhou to solve the financial hole, and it may also become a major achievement in his future career.

   The family has been busy these two days, and the update time has been slightly delayed, but I will try my best to ensure that Lao Rui has worked very hard, please ask for a monthly ticket!
