Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

After the heavy rain stopped, the officials and people in Fuzhou breathed a sigh of relief. If this continues, a small disaster may turn into a major disaster.And many lower-class households around Qinghe village have also hoarded two months' worth of grain by buying rice from Zhang He. will starve to death.

In other places, however, some people in other places were forced to sell good land because they could not afford to buy rice due to rising rice prices.

Zhang Tingxuan, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, pointed out that some disadvantages of the imperial court remained unchanged after the natural disaster, and the people were eager to exchange grain for money after the harvest, resulting in a small amount of stored grain. When the natural disaster occurred, they overestimated it. The serious consequences of the disaster, looting of grain, led to rising rice prices and so on.

At the same time, the warehousing system in various places is not perfect enough, resulting in the frequent use of relief warehouses such as Changping warehouses for other purposes. This cannot be prevented by punishing corrupt officials, but mainly depends on the improvement of the system .

In this regard, he proposed to exempt the fifth-class households and customers from taxes and exempt them from corvee; additional money will be allocated to engineering departments such as the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu Supervisor to prepare them for water conservancy projects, agricultural implements, and renovations. Good things can be done in terms of innovation; there is also the addition of local and village-level village warehouses; the government organizes the people to plant new crops by providing seeds of new crops without collecting taxes on these crops, and the government can also Acquisition of such crops as a preparation for famine... and many other suggestions.

Except for the controversial issue of exempting fifth-class households and customers from taxes and exempting them from corvee labor, which aroused heated discussions among most officials, there was not much controversy about the rest.The prince, instead of the emperor, went to sacrifice and prayed for good weather and came back, so he readily accepted some of his suggestions.

The emperor was quite satisfied with the prince's proper handling of the affairs of state, and believed that he had chosen the right person.On the contrary, King Jia was caught off guard by Zhang Tingxuan's new crop card, and hated it so much.

As Zhang He and the Fuzhou government had a good harvest in the cultivation of sweet potatoes, and played an important role in this natural disaster, the government took advantage of the situation to vigorously promote sweet potatoes.As for the fact that potatoes are still used as a profit-making method for some government households and rich people, they are not very willing to promote them.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Zhang He hid in his house and couldn't go out, so he wrote a book about the habits, planting methods, and promotion of sweet potatoes.After Tong Liyu learned about it, he asked the official seal to print the booklet and bind it into a volume to promote it.

Tong Liyu had previously written a letter recommending sweet potatoes and potatoes. Although Zhang Tingxuan was one step ahead, he actually used it for disaster relief, which increased the credibility of Zhang Tingxuan's words, and let the prince and the court see the value of sweet potatoes .

He also received some news from the imperial court, so he found Zhang He and said to her: "There are not many people who grow sweet potatoes at present, and the imperial court intends to plant sweet potatoes all over the world, so they have to ask us for seeds."

Tong Liyu's meaning is obvious, he knows that Zhang He and Xia Jiniang sold the sweet potatoes to others at a low price out of mercy.And if they sell too much, there won't be many varieties left. He hopes they can consider places where the disaster is more serious.

Zhang He said: "Twenty acres were only planted in mid-July, and there are still a lot of sweet potatoes. The governor can rest assured."

Tong Liyu was very satisfied, thought about it, and said to Zhang He: "Qing'an's contribution is indispensable, I will definitely report Qing'an's deeds, if the imperial court can reward it, that would be the best, if not, I can also give you some rewards."

Although Zhang He didn't care too much about it, Tong Liyu had already taken the initiative to show her affection. If she showed little fame and fortune, Tong Liyu would be unhappy too.He thanked him pretending to be grateful, and then expressed his attitude.

Tong Liyu said: "Qing'an is too humble, even if I don't report to the imperial court, Zhang Shaoqing will inevitably have a few good words from her. If Qing'an can win His Highness's eyes, it is not impossible to be promoted to a noble."

When Zhang He heard the words, his scalp became numb immediately. If she really got promoted, it would be a big deal!But she also knew that Tong Liyu was trying to think on the bright side, after all, she remembered that those who promoted sweet potatoes in later generations did not get any rewards for it.

Leaving from the Governor's Mansion, Zhang He and Xia Jiniang saw many floating households fleeing from the famine in the streets and alleys of Fuzhou City, and the officers and soldiers also tried their best to maintain order.Even after the heavy rain has passed, the impact of the disaster is continuous. Before the price of rice recovers, some families are still providing relief.

The Zhang family continued to provide relief for more than half a month. When the Liu family was in charge of the family affairs, they helped the poor who did not have enough food and clothing, and also helped the hungry and cold people, and won a lot of good reputation.At the same time, she also funded the construction of stone bridges in some low-lying villages where wooden bridges would be easily washed away in case of floods or soaked in decay.

Zhang He and Xia Jiniang sighed that they were inferior. They could only provide food relief, but they could not spend as much money as Liu's to build bridges.Not to mention building a few bridges, just a stone bridge for cars and horses will cost eight or nine hundred guan.

Now that they arrived in Fuzhou City, Zhang He and Xia Jiniang still went to see Mrs. Liu as usual.After the heavy rain passed, the village school had resumed schooling, so Zhang Xian went to the village school, and they only brought Peanut with them this time.

However, at the back door of the Zhang family's mansion, there are already many plain or ragged people waiting for the Zhang family's relief.Although the Zhang family only served porridge, they were already satisfied, after all, what they usually ate was porridge.

"Yeah!" Little Peanut sat on Zhang He's arms with a rattle in his hand, waving his little hand towards the crowd, and still made remarks that only he could understand.

"Are you going to join in the fun?" Zhang He asked.

"Yeah~" Little Peanut responded.

Zhang He smiled and put her down, but she almost sat down before she could stand firmly on the ground.Zhang He quickly supported her little hand, and Xia Jiniang took away her rattle, so she tightly grasped Zhang He's two fingers to keep herself balanced.

"Come on, let's take a look." Zhang He said.

Little Peanut kicked his legs and took two small steps, but refused to leave.Seeing people crowding over, Zhang He picked her up and backed away for a long distance, only then did she realize that there seemed to be more and more people crowding around the door of Zhang's house, and some people who were as clean and decent as her were not. Forget about taking advantage of this.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face squeezed out by the crowd. He had a limping leg and couldn't compete with the young and strong man. Do you want to reincarnate when you are full?"

Someone sneered and said: "Jiang Sheng, don't you have a job, why do you have to come here to ask for porridge?"

Jiang Sheng gave him a cold look, and said: "You little bird, so many thieves and beggars have come to Fuzhou, and they have been begging for their jobs. There is no room for us!"

"Who told you that you were cheap and seduced the Zhang family's outside room. When the two of them were fighting fiercely, you never thought that you would have the present?!"

Jiang Sheng stared at him with bared teeth: "What's the point of killing?"

The man was frightened by him, and hurriedly turned around, refusing to pay attention to him.

Jiang Sheng gritted his teeth and watched him go away, and tried to intimidate the old man in front to make them back away, but was stopped by a gentle voice: "Are you Jiang Sheng?"

Jiang Sheng turned his head and scolded angrily: "It's your father and me, which one?"

When he turned around and saw a handsome face, he immediately trembled with fear.

If that person hadn't called out Jiang Sheng's name, Zhang He would not have known that he was Jiang Sheng who had an affair with the Liu family and lost his family.It's just why Jiang Sheng dared to visit Zhang Yan repeatedly to ask for property, and why did the servants of the Zhang family deliberately hide it from her?There are many doubts in her heart, but most of them are uneasy.She also wanted to clarify this doubt, so she stopped Jiang Sheng.

"Two——" Jiang Sheng opened his mouth, but he couldn't call out the title "Er Lang Jun".He restrained his thoughts and said calmly, "Who are you and what are you calling me for?"

Zhang He thought to himself, could it be that she heard it wrong?But when she called Jiang Sheng, he already responded, didn't he?

Xia Jiniang also had a doubt in her heart all the time, but it was about the Liu family, but after she knew that this person was Jiang Sheng, and then contacted Jiang Nu to tell her, there were more mysteries in her mind.But if you want to find out, maybe you have to start with Jiang Sheng.

"Why pretend you don't know me, Jiang Sheng, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Zhang He smiled slightly.

Seeing that he really couldn't hide it, Jiang Sheng panicked even more.The last time he and Zhang He met was in the Zhang Family Manor before the accident. Even though he was caught in bed with Mrs. Liu, Zhang He was not there, and she did not show up at the Yamen trial. How did Zhang He recognize him in four or five years?And what does Zhang He mean is that she has been looking for him all this time, planning to settle accounts for Mrs. Liu?

"I have nothing to do with your Zhang family, what are you looking for?" Jiang Sheng asked vigilantly.

"You did that kind of thing and made me bear so many insults, how can you say that it has nothing to do with me?" Zhang He said.In fact, he had an affair with Mrs. Liu, Zhang He thought that Yuan must be extremely uncomfortable, but Jiang Sheng took advantage of her again, claiming to be her father, even she would feel angry.

Jiang Sheng said bluntly: "Your young lady seduced me because she was dissolute and unwilling to be lonely. I have already been punished by the government and a leg was removed by your Zhang family. What else do you want?"

Zhang He did remember that his leg was indeed interrupted by Zhang Yan's servants, but why did he come to Zhang Yan to ask for money with confidence?

"My little girl was exiled, but you were only punished with a rod. It would be cheap for you to take off your leg. But personally, I still don't want to let you go. It was my elder brother who took off your leg, but my little girl It is the person who gave birth to me, and I always have to let it out."

Jiang Sheng said: "If you want to blame you, you can only blame your little girl. It's useless for you to vent your anger on me! And if you dare to hit me, I will sue the officials and sue you for bullying others, Yurou Township!"

"Blame my little lady? I now suspect that what happened back then is fake!" Zhang He nonsense, after she traveled over, the case had passed for a long time, and she didn't know the details at all.

Jiang Sheng hurriedly defended: "There is nothing wrong with it. Your little mother likes to seduce us servants and field servants. It is well known. Except for me, do you think she seduces few servants? You are not looking for a servant in your farm. Just ask..."

Zhang Tingyu's father, Zhang Xun, was an official in Beijing when he was still alive. For the sake of Zhang's family business, he let his second son Zhang Tingyu stay in Fuzhou to run the family business, and left his eldest son by his side to take care of him.It's just that Zhang Tingyu has to be filial, so he goes to Luoyang every year, and the family business is handed over to Liu's family.

Mrs. Liu lived alone in the farm, and without the restrictions of Mrs. Liu, she became bold and indulgent. She liked to drink wine on weekdays, and when she ate too much, she would catch the passing servants to tease her.

A maidservant who couldn't see it told Liu about it, and Liu asked Liu to live in the ancestral house and put her under her nose.For the sake of the Zhang family's reputation, the Liu family was also kept quiet, so that when Zhang Tingyu returned home, he was very relieved to see that they could still live in harmony under the same roof.

Although Mrs. Liu warned her many times, Mrs. Liu did not restrain herself. With Zhang Tingyu's love and trust for her, she became more and more unbridled, and flirted with the servants many times in front of Mrs. Liu.

Many people said that Mrs. Liu has a gentle temperament and is too easy to be bullied, which is why Mrs. Liu got on top of her.But the end of all this was when Mrs. Liu hooked up with Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng was so seduced by her that he was distracted. After receiving the letter from her for a tryst in the middle of the night, he went to the appointment as scheduled, but was discovered the next day.
