Parents are busy farming

She said righteously: "Isn't the purpose of the court's existence to save the people of the world from suffering? Now is the time for the court to fulfill its duties. Of course, this is also the time when evil spirits are most likely to show up, and it is also the time for the court to supervise all officials and rectify the government.

"After hearing what Ye Zifen said, Mrs. Hong couldn't help but smiled and shook her head, and said jokingly: "Listening to what you said, people who don't know you would really think you are the censor!"

"Which censor are you?" Suddenly, another voice came.

As soon as Ye Zifen heard it, she knew that it was her uncle who had returned, and a bright smile immediately broke out on her face.

She couldn't wait to walk to the door, ready to open it and greet him.

When Master Hong saw Ye Zifen standing at the door, he said with a smile: "This is not some imperial censor, she is obviously my niece! Haha, little girl, you finally decided to come to the capital? You have opened a store in the capital, but you don't even come to visit us. It really makes us feel relieved."

After Ye Zifen greeted Master Hong, she said with a sweet smile on her face: "Anyway, I have my uncle and uncle helping to keep an eye on it in the capital, so what do I have to worry about? Compared to shops in other places, I feel more at ease!"

Master Hong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Listen to what this little girl said, it turns out that she has become a hands-off manager!"

Ye Zifen smiled slightly and didn't respond.

At this time, another voice came over: "I think this girl is not worried about us, but about the brat of the Chuan family. Now that brat is unwilling to return to the Hong family as long as he is in the capital, he will move directly to your Fu Ke Lai. Now Fu Ke Lai is almost his home."

Ye Zifen looked in the direction of the voice and saw the second master of the Hong family walking towards them.

Her heart tightened and she quickly bowed to the second master of the Hong family.

As for Wang Chuanjia's situation, she just smiled and did not make any comment.

In fact, she knew very well why her fourth cousin would rather live in Fukelai than go back to the Hong family.

After all, the Hong family's surname is Hong, and living in Fukelai, he only needs to pay, and he is very free in other aspects. He can also order his own people from time to time.

As soon as Ye Zifen stood up, Master Hong Da saw Master Hong Er and asked, "You were called back too, why are you back later than me?"

The yamen where Master Hong Er works is much closer to home than Master Hong Da’s.

After hearing this, Master Hong Er did not say anything, but just raised his hand to let Master Hong Da see what he was holding.

Master Hong Da took a closer look and found that Master Hong Er was holding a box of snacks in his hand. The packaging was so exquisite that one could tell at a glance that they were new snacks from a famous snack shop in the capital.

Master Hong Er looked at Master Hong Da and said with a smile, "I just asked the servant who passed the message to us, and he said that Xiao Wu was coming, so I deliberately took a detour to buy some snacks."

There is actually a reason why Master Hong Er is so meticulous.

He knew very well that if he did not express anything after returning, his wife might nag in his ear for a long time.

After all, he knew very well the position of Xiaowu in his wife's heart.

In order to give himself some peace of mind, he felt that he should think and consider more.

After hearing what Master Hong said, Master Hong smiled and joked, "If you do this, aren't you afraid that Zifen will have a little secret in her mind and simply dislike me as her uncle?"

Hearing this, Ye Zifen quickly replied with a smile: "No, no! I just like my second uncle more!"

Her face was filled with a bright smile, which made people love her.

After chatting about family matters for a while, Master Hong gradually became anxious.

He stared at Ye Zifen closely and said, "Girl, even if you don't come to see me today, I will write to you in a few days. I really can't think of any good way, so I can only ask you if you have any special ideas. You see, our Daxia is facing a serious food shortage problem now. How can we change this situation?"

This girl has come up with many good ideas, and he is full of hope for her.

Money is needed everywhere now, but the country's financial situation is very urgent. The Ministry of Revenue is almost forced into a desperate situation by the Ministry of War.

The border war is currently tense, and the most critical supplies are undoubtedly food and fodder, but the one million taels of silver raised from the last watch auction have long been used up.

That’s not all. They didn’t even pay a penny for the windmills provided by Ye Zifen.

At this moment, Master Hong was extremely anxious and even felt that his hair was about to fall out.

Although Ye Zifen did not know the current specific grain production situation in the southern region, she couldn't help but feel heavy after listening to what Master Hong said.

Obviously, no matter where it is, this year's grain harvest will probably not be too high, which is why the South cannot transport grain to the border in a timely manner.

However, the more this happens, the greater her chances of getting justice for her people seem to be.

Ye Zifen had a smile on her lips, but her tone was very serious as she said, "We are in the midst of the storm in Daxia. The northern region is getting increasingly dry, and the south will probably be affected to some extent. Based on what I have learned from history books, there should be floods in the south and droughts in the north, so I thought of a solution early on. However, there were no floods in the south, and I guess there are many doubts in the court now! So how should we deal with it? Regarding the food problem... maybe we can pay attention to the situation overseas."

When Old Master Hong heard this, he frowned, afraid that Ye Zifen would say something, but in the end he did not say anything to interrupt Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen continued, "I don't believe that so many places overseas are in the same predicament as us. Perhaps it is only the Great Xia Kingdom and the nomadic peoples in the north who are in this situation. We might as well send envoys to explore other regions. Maybe we can buy some food and save the people from the disaster."

Old Master Hong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Ye Zifen said. Fortunately, the girl didn't say another word.

After thinking for a moment, Master Hong replied, "This is a feasible plan and worth a try. However, the key lies in whether we can convince the emperor. As for whether the emperor will agree, he has no way of knowing."
