Chapter 1555 Information

When Zhou Shuren left the palace, he walked away in a refreshed manner. The materials he wanted to exchange for a whole discount were all precious materials, and all of them were prohibited by sea trade. Willing to sell vital resources.

In the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Shuren signaled Jinyan to go in and look for Changyi to come out. Changyi was very busy, and when he came out, he trotted all the way, and he quickly got into the carriage and asked, "Father, what do you want to tell your son?"

Zhou Shuren motioned his son to listen to him, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has drawn up a plan for exchanging food, you should have an idea in mind first, and by the way, chat with the envoys from various countries in the past few days to get to the bottom of it."

Changyi wanted to inquire about the news, he knew him well, when the achievements came, "Son will definitely do well."

"Well, that's all right, go get busy, I'll go back too."

Changyi is indeed very busy, and he is still receiving envoys, "Okay."

When I got out of the carriage, I told the driver to slow down, and to be careful in cold weather and slippery roads.

Zhou's family, Zhulan returned home, and Mrs. Li rushed to greet her, "Mother, the annual gifts for the in-laws in my hometown have been delivered in advance."

Zhulan could hear the hesitation in Li Shi's tone, "What's wrong?"

Li said: "Master Dong passed away, and the Dong family split up. The New Year's gifts from the Dong family were too expensive, like a competition, far exceeding the gift list set by our family."

Zhulan was speechless. The first anniversary of the death of Mr. Dong has not yet passed, "If there are too many, choose someone to send back."

"The face of the third sibling?"

"This time I gave the Dong family face, and it will only make more progress in the future. Send it back directly to avoid future troubles. Hey, your third brother and the others can't take care of their hometown in Qizhou. You can help make decisions."

Li's shoulders were heavy. The mother-in-law handed over all the affairs of the house to her, and her burden was heavy. "My daughter-in-law will take care of it."

"Well, I believe you."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was exhausted, Mrs. Li didn't say anything more, and helped her back home, and she left the main courtyard after her mother-in-law changed her clothes and rested.

Mrs. Li looked up at the sky, thinking about the unfinished account books, the sky was no longer blue, "Let's go, there is still this year's purchase general account book to check."

The mother-in-law said attentively, "Be careful where you step."

The servants in this mansion are the best at adapting to the wind, and the Zhou family gets along well, but in the hearts of the servants, the big house is the future master,

Li Shi once again gained prestige, the flattery of his subordinates is inevitable, but luckily the Zhou family is fair and strict, so nothing went wrong.

In the evening, when Zhou Shuren came back and told about the supplies exchanged, Zhulan whispered, "Actually, I've always had an idea."

Zhou Shuren, "Huh?"

"It's not that the people of the two countries are gathered on the northeastern border, and the number is still increasing. Even if the two countries have no intentions, these people will be troubled sooner or later."

"The emperor will not allow the people of the two countries to enter."

Zhulan tapped the tea and drew on the table, "How about digging ditches at the border? Or building a city wall."

"Building a city wall is difficult."

"Then dig ditches, which will be the border defense line in the future."

The labor force has been used, and the labor force has been consumed. The foreign people on the border have no energy to make troubles, and the imperial court needs to pay for the mixed pancakes that will not kill people.

Zhulan said again: "People are so hungry that they can do anything."

"I can't mention this matter, and I can't let Chuan mention it."

"Then who do you want to bring it up?"

Zhou Shuren also dipped his finger in water and wrote Liang on the table, "Since he was stationed in the Northeast, he is the most suitable."

Zhulan gave a thumbs up, "Good candidate."

Zhou Shuren needs to make a good plan, he can't see Liang Wangshu in the palace, so he still can't get around Rong Chuan, squinting his eyes, he wants to add up.

A few days later in Qizhou, Chang Lian listened to the report, looked at the first three villages on the list, and signaled the officials to go down, "Your Excellency, do you see?"

Lord Prefect, "Send someone to investigate secretly. I don't want any fraudulent activities."

Chang Lian didn't think there was anything fake, but he was emotional. According to the imperial court's method of disaster relief, there was a big gap between villages. The village with clan as a whole was the most efficient, and it could help other villages. This was the clan's advantage.

As for villages with mixed surnames, even if they have a single heart, they can't compare, and they still can't make the list.

Chang Lian went to the countryside to visit, thought for a while and said: "Sir, why don't you rank the villages with clan as a whole and the villages with mixed surnames separately?"

The magistrate reacted and was very moved. Some villages are in urgent need of relief supplies that will be rewarded for the top few, while some clan villages are not urgent. "Okay, divide into two lists."

Changlian smiled, "Master Zhifu is a good official for the people, and the people all praise you."

There was a smile on the magistrate's face, "I only hope that the weather in Qizhou will be smooth in the future, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. As for my false reputation, it doesn't matter."

Chang Lian thought, it would be more convincing if the corners of the mouth are not turned up.

Chang Lian came out of the government office, strolled back to the gate of the house, smelled the smell of soup and medicine before getting out of the carriage, got out of the carriage and saw that there were many people lining up with bowls, and walked to the lady, "You have worked hard the past few days gone."

Mrs. Dong, "It's not hard."

Changlian asked, "How many herbs are there?"

"Not much. These days, I cook soups to enhance my physique every day. I'm going to run out of medicinal materials at home."

Changlian, "It's fine if it's gone."

Mrs. Dong followed Mr. Xiang into the house, "The magistrate's family has no medicinal materials, and now they are making ginger soup."

"It's not easy for the magistrate."

Mrs. Dong was a little annoyed, "Our family didn't donate many medicinal materials in order not to overstep the magistrate. The magistrate set up a medicinal soup shed to get a good reputation, and our family followed suit. I don't know how much she has. The medicinal materials are gone. You still go to our mansion to say sour words, and you get angry when you hear it, why, you still want our mansion to send some medicinal materials?"

Chang Lian patted the lady on the shoulder, "Okay, why bother with her."

"If it wasn't for the prefect, I would be too lazy to talk to her."

Chang Lian, "We closed the shed when we ran out of medicinal materials, so you don't have to hear bitter words."

"Um."

In the capital, Zhou Shuren and several important ministers accompanied the emperor to meet the envoys from various countries. Zhou Shuren felt that Changyi was also suitable for intelligence. He really found out a lot of things. The envoys from various countries did not know that there was a traitor among them. They read the materials exchanged one by one. Zhezi, all of them have angry faces, um, some of them pretend to be quite similar.

The emperor ignored the envoy's anger, and pointed to Zhezi, "The above are the things that our country wants to change. There are not many things to choose from in our country. Those who change first get the food."

All the envoys, "!!"

That's not much? From precious metals to resources that are prohibited from being traded, the above list is very detailed, and the details make them wonder if they know their country's stock.

Zhou Shuren got the emperor's wink, and then said: "Our country is a populous country. Although it has a large area, the cultivated area is not much. In recent years, our population has grown rapidly, and our country is also very short of food. The Marquis who is in charge of the household department is very reluctant to take it. The food came out, but who told us that our country is a country of etiquette, the Marquis gritted his teeth and raised some food, and there is really not much food."
