Parents are busy farming

I muttered to myself: 'Since I have been with that girl Ye Wu for a long time, the ideas in my mind have become more and more bold. ’

But I don’t know why? After this idea arose, he could no longer suppress it. He planned to write a letter back to listen to Ye Zifen's opinion.

At present, everyone in the Hong family is still discussing whether there is a suitable place on the dock for Jianfu guests to come, and discussing the forces behind it.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that in addition to the dark forces on the dock, there was another force that was relatives of the emperor or the upstarts of the court.

Even the Hong family couldn't get a foothold in that kind of place.

Moreover, the Hong family did not dare to get involved, fearing that the emperor would find out and lose the emperor's trust.

"Are you planning to give up some shares so that you can make friends with the forces behind this?" Mr. Hong Er asked.

Pang Chao shook his head and explained: "It's not that we are unwilling to give up some profits, but Fukelai itself doesn't make much money! Although it looks like a big restaurant on the surface, the profits it gains have to be provided to other places."

Pang Chao spoke cryptically, but those who knew the inside story naturally knew what he meant.

This is also the reason why they, as officials, admire Ye Zifen the most.

Mr. Hong was thinking about telling the Emperor about this, but later gave up the idea because it was too insignificant to the emperor.

At this time, Mrs. Hong suddenly asked: "Have you heard about the changes in the weather this year?"

Pang Chao nodded seriously.

"Now that you already know, why do you want to expand your business?"

Regarding this question, Mr. Hong wanted to ask it just now.

For ordinary people, at this time, they are either doing food business or medicinal materials business. Very few people are opening restaurants at this time, so it would be nice not to close one or two.

"I was hesitant at first, but then I heard Ye...Ye Zifen said that only development can get rid of difficulties. No matter how bad the conditions are, only when the business develops can we have money to solve other difficulties."

For some reason, Mr. Hong remembered Ye Zifen's idea of ​​making a fishing boat after hearing this.

There was a voice in my heart, 'I really hope everything can go according to the little girl's idea, so that the people can be saved from the fire and water. ’

First, no one in the room was talking.

In the end, it was Wang Chuanxing who broke the embarrassment: "Since you want to come to Jianfuke, we will help you ask if there is a suitable place."

Wang Chuanxing said it was okay, and so were the younger members of the family, but the few court officials in the room couldn't say it.

Because if they speak out, it means that the Hong family is the backer of Fuke Lai.

This topic has come to an end. Mr. Hong asked Pang Chao: "How is your father-in-law doing lately?"

When Pang Chao came, he did go to his in-law's house to say goodbye to them. At this time, when he heard Mrs. Hong's inquiry, he quickly said: "Recently, the county has to dig ditches. My father-in-law, Magistrate Su and other officials in the county are preparing for this. "

Mr. Hong listened and nodded.

He didn't know whether to lament luck or misfortune.

During his tenure as county magistrate, although there were disasters, they were not serious and there were not many people affected.

At most, houses were destroyed by snow in winter, or there was too much rain in summer, so people braved the rain to dig ditches in the fields to release water.

Although he himself escaped punishment, he would still feel uncomfortable if there was a severe drought and the people in the county suffered.

"It's time to prepare carefully. Once the ditch is dug, it may be of great use in the future. It's a good idea!" Mr. Hong affirmed.

Not only Mr. Hong is concerned about this matter, but Mr. Hong and Mr. Hong are also very interested in knowing what kind of progress it has reached now.

"Have you started digging now?" Mr. Hong Er asked.

Pang Chao shook his head very honestly, "Not yet, because the land has not thawed yet, so there is no way to start now."

Mr. Hong Er and Mr. Hong had once stayed in the county with Mr. Hong. Although they understood the basic people's sentiments, they had never actually worked in the fields.

Mr. Hong and Mr. Hong both had traces of embarrassment on their faces. Mr. Hong couldn't help but shake his head.

It was the same situation when he first arrived in the county, but later he had more contact with farmers and learned more about them.

"Then do you know when the land will thaw?" After the embarrassment, Master Hong asked again what he wanted to know.

Although Pang Chao did not farm, he was somewhat familiar with it due to the influence of Ye Zifen and a few people around him. He said, "According to the situation in the county, there will be no need for another month."

After hearing this, Mr. Hong Er couldn't help but sigh: "It will take so long. I don't know if all the ditches will be dug when the drought comes."

Pang Chao didn't dare to speak loudly about this matter. After all, he was not in charge of this matter. But according to Ye Zifen, the county seemed to have handed over the matter to Xiang Zhibo.

He once talked with Xiang Zhibo about Fokker opening in other places. From the chat, it can be seen that Xiang Zhibo himself still has some ideas and abilities.

But this was not the time to talk about this, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that there was nothing else to talk about, the Hong family let Pang Chao leave.

After Pang Chao walked out of the study, Mr. Hong Er said: "I heard that this boy has a certain talent in business, but when I met him today, he felt a little dull!"

Mr. Hong glanced at his second son and said, "You also said that this kid is talented in business. Are all the things you asked about business? Besides, how many people dare to ask about the political affairs in the county? Talk too much, don’t forget your identity.”

After being taught a lesson by his old father, Mr. Hong Er touched his nose and asked his elder brother to continue playing chess.

Mr. Hong did not agree and said: "No more, my grandson is not in good health recently. I will go over and see him!"

Master Hong Er also knew about this, and when his eldest brother refused, he turned to his father again.

Mr. Hong said: "Chuanxing must have taken this child to see your mother first. How does your mother feel after hearing the news about Zifen? I'll go and have a look too!"

As people get older, the people they care about the most now slowly become the people next to them. When you are young, you put your children first.

When Mr. Hong Er saw that his father and elder brother were no longer playing, he also collected the chess pieces and put them into the chess box.

He stood up and said to them: "Why don't you all go and take a look at the back? It's time to take a break. It's also good to go back and spend time with the women."

After a few people left, the study immediately became quiet. The boy quickly walked into the study and cleaned it.
