An old lady's life

At the end of June, Emperor Changping issued a decree to go to the Summer Resort on July [-]st to escape the summer heat and take away most of the officials from various departments. Jia Amnesty hoped that he would be selected this time, but also hoped that he would not be selected.If he was selected, he would take his mother, wife and son to escape the summer heat; if he was not selected, he would stay in Beijing, which was also a different kind of joy.

Seeing him so entangled, Hongye couldn't help laughing, if he wanted to go directly to the Ministry of Justice to ask for a place, why not?Don't have to worry about it yourself.

But two days later, the Ministry of Punishment issued a list. Unfortunately, there was still no Jia Amnesty. He still had to stay in Beijing, and even the right servant had to stay in Beijing. About a dozen people, including the minister of the Ministry of punishment and the left servant, went with the emperor.

When the dust fell to the ground, Jia Amnesty didn't have to worry about it anymore. Soon after the Changping Emperor's army left the capital, the capital became quiet all of a sudden.

These days, Jia She is busy with merchant shipping, thanks to the maritime trade in recent years, the Rong Mansion, Ning Mansion, and Linjiazhao County Prince's Mansion have made a lot of money.Not long ago, the Ning Mansion finally paid off the debts owed by the Ministry of Households, and because it attracted the attention of Emperor Changping, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households now has a very important voice, so the trend of officials from various ministries to borrow money from the Ministry of Households was curbed, and the Minister of the Household Department Every time I meet some officials, they open their mouths and shut up and insist on paying back the money, which makes those officials quite embarrassed. Over time, some officials who want to be famous will pay back one after another. No matter how small the legs of mosquitoes are, they are still meat. .

There is no shipyard in central Beijing. Haicheng, Fucheng, and Jiangnan each have a shipyard. The time spent on shipbuilding is extremely tight, and it takes extra favors to find someone to place an order and arrange a list. Jia She has been busy for so long. Soon, I found a relationship and ordered five sea-going ships at Fucheng Shipyard. The ones with large draft and capacity, each sea-going ship cost 60 taels. After paying half of the deposit, Rongfu will be very tight. It's time.

In this hot summer, the imperial palace is like a steamer, and the emperor is not a masochist, he can't do without leaving.However, Rong Mansion is actually much cooler than the outside. After a few years, Jia She and Jia Zheng have gotten used to it, so they didn't think too much about why the temperature in their house is lower than other houses.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and cicadas were singing at the top of the branches. Under the sunlight, the flowers, plants and trees drooped their leaves, and the whole world showed a sign of laziness.

Amber came to report, saying that Lao Zhou came back to report things.

Hongye was a little surprised, after thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that she had ordered him some things before, and asked the servant girl to let him in.

Old Zhou saluted and then said: "Old lady, the Fang family daughter you asked us to pay attention to, there has been some movement. Not long ago, Aunt Fang brought Aunt Fang and four five six seven, and the four girls came down from Liangwu Mountain together. Zhuangzi was transferred to Zhuangzi in Ling County, and today Aunt Fang took her niece to open a girls’ academy, which accepts female students aged seven to 12.”

Hongye lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her head again: "Okay, tell me, if there are hooligans making things difficult for them, remember to help them secretly, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

Lao Zhou received the task, they are only doing things for the master's family, it seems that the daughters of the Fang family are not as scruples as the rich, and the daughters of the Fang family were also brought up with good poetry and books, if they can teach the low-level girls, let them read and write , but also the blessings of those girls.

At night, Hongye meets Ai Cao in the space. The last time she met was ten days ago. Although Ai Cao is still practicing hard every day, in Qingzhou, she has obviously played wild during this time.

Knowing about the Fang family's daughter, Ai Cao patted Hongye's shoulder solemnly, "Hongye, you have done a good deed, I hope they can really live out their own lives!"

Hongye nodded: "Yes, where there is a will, there is a way!"

Wormwood leaned in front of Hongye and said triumphantly, "Do you know what I have accomplished recently?"

Hongye shook her head with a smile, and wormwood couldn't wait to say: "I've successfully produced sea salt, isn't the temperature very high these days? The small area I created has already produced salt, and Lin Hai was stunned just now!" The little one was almost scared to death."

It has been several months since I came to Qingzhou. Lin Hai is so busy that he does not touch the ground all day long. He wants to help the people of Qingzhou solve their difficulties. The first thing that bears the brunt is the saline-alkali land. The land does not grow crops. Lin Hai has already found a good farmer to start preparations. To raise some plants, such as white willow, Populus euphratica, Apocynum apocynum, castor bean, wolfberry, sand date, etc., he needs to mobilize from other places, and he has to invite local experts to explain to the people, otherwise it will be useless for the people to understand.

After several months of preparation, the suburbs near the city of Qingzhou have already planted many crops in the spring, including large areas of apocynum, castor, etc., and white willows, populus euphratica, sand dates, wolfberries, etc. on the hilltops. , After a rainy season, most of the crops survived, so Lin Hai didn't have so much time to take care of his mother, wife and children. If he was not careful, his mother caused a big problem for him.

Lin Hai is writing the memorial. The first chapter will report on his actions in the past few months, and the next chapter will report on the issue of salt. He does not intend to let this memorial pass through the Secretary of General Administration, but to take the secret and convenient channel of the officials released to the imperial court. .

There are summer resorts and palaces in four directions of the capital, Yuquan mountain in the east, Emperor Changping does not plan to go to that sad place again, Feihong summer resort in the west, Tianluo palace in the south, Baiyu mountain in the north, and Emperor Changping will go there this year for summer vacation Baiyu Mountain.

At dusk, Emperor Changping led a group of concubines and children to go sightseeing. They were very happy. They met some officials and children of aristocratic families. The Baiyu Mountain was full of excitement.

As the sky darkened, the villa in the dark was like a black dragon, quietly lying prone on the top of Baiyu Mountain.

Emperor Changping was still dealing with political affairs, but it was too late, and he planned to stop here today.Shang Yong suddenly appeared from the darkness, scaring Wang Wei's little heart to thump.

"Shang Yong, are you sincerely scaring the miscellaneous family, right?" Wang Wei glared at Shang Yong, and Shang Yong smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't see Mr. Wang." Boss, are you too timid?

"Is the emperor still busy?" Shang Yong tiptoed to look inside, the voices of the two were not too loud, even the guards not far away could hear them, there was no private conversation between the two.

Wang Wei knocked on the door, his eyes squinted: "The emperor is about to go to bed, please report quickly if you have anything to do, don't delay the emperor's sleep."

Wang Wei has been in a bad mood recently. Ever since the emperor formed another dark guard, he has been discriminated against frequently. Of course, it's not that Feng Yu and his subordinates embarrass him. For Wang Wei, a eunuch who has lost his roots, there is a kind of arrogance in his bones, which makes Wang Wei, who is used to getting along with Lou Gao and others, quite uncomfortable.

Wang Wei was an eunuch himself, so he was very sensitive to these aspects. Even when Feng Yu and his subordinates saw him, they treated him with respect on the surface, but the inside couldn't be changed. Wang Wei was out of tune with them.

Shang Yong shrugged, not only the princes and fathers are still adapting to the changes in the guarding rules around the emperor, they are also adapting.After being summoned by the emperor inside, he went in to report the matter.

Emperor Changping took the memorial from Shang Yong and knew it was a secret, so he looked at it very carefully. He didn't want Lin Hai to be full of nonsense, of course it wasn't all nonsense, but is it worth going through the secret channel for these contents?

Until the end of the scroll, Emperor Changping couldn't help standing up suddenly, frowning.

Shang Yong naturally knew what was mentioned in the memorial, and anything related to salt has always been a major event, so he did not dare to delay and pass the memorial up all night.

"Shang Yong, listen to the order, you take a few people to Qingzhou and personally supervise Linhai's salt production, I want a detailed experiment process and results." After a while, Emperor Changping said again: "Tomorrow we will go on the road together with King Zhaojun. "

Shang Yong took the order and withdrew, and Emperor Changping ordered Wang Weixuanzhaojun and Qinjun Wang to have an audience.

King Zhaojun arrived first, and was a little surprised when he heard his father's will, but he thought a lot in his mind, "Don't worry, father, I know what to do."

Emperor Changping nodded: "I'm just waiting for your good news."

When King Zhaojun left and King Qin arrived, Emperor Changping sent King Qin to the Jiangnan area to inspect the embankment supervised by Zhang Tao. The two brothers left Baiyu Mountain Resort together at dawn the next day, one to the southeast and the other to the southwest. King Xiangjun and King Gongjun only muttered a few words in their eyes, and found that this errand was actually not of any benefit, so they didn't take it to heart.

After the Rong Mansion heard the news about Baiyu Mountain Villa, there would be a two-day delay. Emperor Changping sent his two sons out to experience training. In Hongye's opinion, this was the right thing to do, so she didn't take it to heart.

She didn't know what was going on until ten days later, when Ai Cao told her that King Zhaojun, Monk Shangyong, Mu Seng, Zhu Qing, and Luo Feng were in Qingzhou City.

It seems that Emperor Changping sent King Qin out to cover King Zhaojun?Hong Ye thinks this is really interesting. Emperor Changping seems to have chosen King Zhaojun as the next emperor. Isn't he afraid that King Zhaojun will be the next prince?

Before dinner, Hongye noticed the unstoppable smile on Mrs. Zhang's face, and couldn't help but wonder, the weather is so hot recently that everyone doesn't want to go anywhere, why is Mrs. Zhang happy?

Could it be that the Zhang family has a happy event?

Sure enough, when Hongye asked, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, it was my mother who sent me a letter today, saying that my elder brother should return to Beijing soon."

Zhang Tao?The elder brother of Jia Amnesty who was pitted by cement and stayed in the south of the Yangtze River for another year.

Jia Zheng and Wang sneered secretly, the funny things that happened last year were still vivid in their minds, and they couldn't help but think about it.

Jia Amnesty coughed, "I don't know what rules my father-in-law has when I return to Beijing this time? The emperor will return to Beijing soon, so I think the position of my elder brother will not be low."

Zhang Tao's previous status as an imperial envoy was only from the third rank. Not long after he returned to Beijing, he was sent by the emperor to build river embankments in the south of the Yangtze River. The staff is nothing to say.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "I don't know about this. The master will discuss it with my father and elder brother some other day." She knew that Jia She had a close relationship with her father. His father changed his dislike of his husband when he first got married, and now he is very satisfied with him. .

Zhang Tao returned to the capital one step before Emperor Changping, and it was already August [-]th.Only then did Emperor Changping drive back to Beijing to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th.
