The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-law

  Chapter 1494 The dreadful opening

  Three days later, Zhulan was arranging a newly acquired Zhuangzi. The Wen family did not make it, but left the house and the land was not more than fifty acres. Zhulan planned to use this Zhuangzi to breed.

   As soon as the arrangements were made, Steward Ding ran in, "Old Madam, the Shizi and Minghui are back."

  Zhulan stood up all of a sudden, "Oh, Chang Li hasn't written a letter for a long time. I'm still thinking about it, hurry up, prepare refreshments, they've worked hard all the way."

   Butler Ding was busy making arrangements, and Mrs. Li had already rushed out.

   When Mrs. Li was halfway there, she saw her son, and the tears flowed down, "Oh, my Minghui, why are you so thin, I feel bad for my mother."

   She doesn't care about her husband, she cares about her son who has grown up pampered, and his son has lost a lot of weight.

   Mr. Zhou did not want his wife to ignore him. Because his son was ill, he did not dare to write to his family later, for fear of missing the news.

  Li hugged his son tightly, and when he touched his hand, the bones on his son's body were obvious, and he lost weight. This distressed him, "I will never go out with your father again, your father is a big heart, woo woo."

   Minghui's eyes were also red, and he finally went home. He missed the food at home and his soft pillow, "Mother, I want to take good care of it, I have to take care of it for a while before I go to the academy."

   Li was stuck when he was about to agree, "I have to ask your grandma about this."

   She never interferes in the child's study.

   Minghui's eyes turned even redder when he heard it, um, so that grandma would feel more distressed, "I'll ask grandma."

   Boss Zhou has already taken a step to the main courtyard, Zhulan's eyes are over her son, "Where's Minghui?"

   What about her squeamish grandson?

  Boss Zhou, "."

   Okay, my son is squeamish and the family is not at ease.

   Minghui heard grandma's voice and rushed into the room, "Grandma, I miss you so much."

   Li choked, "Mother, look at how thin Minghui has become, my daughter-in-law is so distressed."

   Bamboo Orchid touches it, the child has indeed lost a lot of weight, "Why is it so thin?"

   Minghui snorted, "Grandson is sick, grandma don't have to worry, grandson is already well."

  Zhulan felt distressed, "Come back and make up for it."

   Minghui lowered his head, "Grandma, I want to rest at home and go to the academy in a few days."

  Zhulan raised her eyebrows and nodded her grandson's forehead, "Okay, rest at home for ten days before going to the academy."

   Minghui raised his head with a smile, "Thank you grandma."

  Zhulan also laughed, this kid was enjoying himself, but this time he suffered a serious crime, "Sit down quickly and tell grandma what you've seen and heard along the way."

  Minghui sighed, "This time I accompany my father on errands, and my grandson has seen too much darkness, especially darkness."

  His family background is good, he is never simple, he knows the darkness, but the darkness at the bottom makes his heart heavier.

  Zhulan patted Minghui's head, "I grew up after going out."

   Minghui, "Hmm."

   Yudie was also there and surrounded Minghui. They had also seen a lot of darkness recently. They told what happened at home, and Minghui was stunned.

   Boss Zhou was dumbfounded, "Mother, did you really run a folk orphanage on duty?"

   The smile on the corner of Zhulan's mouth was not at all restrained, "Well, don't be surprised."

   Boss Zhou has to digest the news for a while. How long has he been away from home? Mother is really amazing, "Mother, my son is proud of you."

   "Wait a few days for you to cultivate and go to the folk orphanage with your daughter-in-law to see what needs to be improved."

   Boss Zhou waved his hand hurriedly, "Mother, it should be my son to study."

  Zhulan said again: "Last night, your father was still talking about you. You go to rest first. It is estimated that you will enter the palace tomorrow. The emperor is still waiting for you to report!"

   Boss Zhou snorted, "Report?"

   "You naturally have to report when you go out for business and come back. What's so shocking, you write down what you see and feel in a book, and use it when reporting."

  Boss Zhou, "."

  Zhulan looked at Minghui, "You are not allowed to help your father, your father is the future prince, this is what he will experience sooner or later."

   Minghui was noticed by his grandmother and touched his nose, "The grandson won't help."

  Boss Zhou, "."

   Is he going to see the emperor alone? still report?

  House Department, Zhou Shuren flipped through the roster, "So many prisoners?"

  The prince nodded, "This is only in a few prefectures near the capital. The lack of food has caused instability. Last year, there were many wars taking advantage of the chaos to make money, and the government arrested many people."

   Zhou Shuren, "They are all good laborers."

  The Crown Prince sighed, "We use heavy law in extraordinary times. The number of criminals reported by the state newspapers has increased significantly. The emperor's intention is to impose severe sentences. Killing some will make the people sober."

   Zhou Shuren has a heavy heart, vast land and abundant resources, inconvenient information, low food production, uninterrupted birth of children, ignorant thoughts, etc. He is also full of powerlessness many times, and the change cannot be accomplished by himself.

   "The root is still food, and the people are not hungry."

  Prince has grown rapidly in the past two years. When he slept, all he could think about was food, "It would be great if the grain yields high."

   Zhou Shuren said, dreaming faster, "Fortunately, the rich fishery products of the ocean have saved many people's lives."

  The Prince's tone became lighter, "Yeah, for better fishing, the fishing nets have also been improved."

   Zhou Shuren also has a smile on his face. Sometimes people really need to push hard. For better fishing, the shipyard has built special fishing boats and improved fishing nets.

   Zhou Shuren said, "There are still clothes to keep out the cold, and the cotton production is not high, so we have to think of a way."

   He was shocked to see the number of people who died from freezing last year. Most of them were the elderly and children.

  The prince frowned again, "The land reclaimed is still dominated by food."

Zhou Shuren feels that he is very powerful. He has climbed to where he is now and can help the emperor. He has changed a lot. If it wasn't for him to control the market price~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the whole market would have been chaotic long ago. Done with a clear conscience.

  The prince said again: "These days, the envoys come to Beijing and ask for help. Opening their mouths is food, and it is difficult for all countries to live!"

   Zhou Shuren has heard the emperor say it several times, and it’s not only a bad thing, but also imitating fish cakes. Unfortunately, the ship’s technology can’t keep up, and it can’t be supplied. Instead, it has become a delicacy for the rich and powerful.

   Zhou Shuren also heard from the emperor that in several neighboring countries, the people of other countries crossed the border and wanted to live there, but now they are all blocked at the border.

   Zhou Shuren didn't ask the prince what the emperor meant. The emperor had talked to him a few times and wanted to ask him if he had any ideas. He didn't want to say.

   Zhou Shuren had a sad face, "Yeah, the weather is not normal and it's not easy. This year's spring ploughing will be postponed again. The number of excellent seeds of the Emperor Taishang is too small to solve the problem."

   Last year, the yield of the improved varieties selected by the Emperor Taishang was indeed higher than that of the ordinary ones, but there were too few improved varieties, and these improved varieties had to be selected, etc., which could not solve the problem.

The prince is silent. He has been diligent in his recent visit to the Ministry of Households. It is not only the intention of the father and the emperor. He also wants to hear more about Zhou Hou's thoughts. the opinion of.
