Chapter 1016

As for the original two, they had long been kicked out.

The people at the top are very popular and hot. The servants at the bottom are not particularly easy to live. They belong to those who are despised by the gentry and despised by the people. Whenever they see the servants, the people almost don't run around and tell them that the cannibals are coming again. Everyone runs away quickly, but although this occupation is cheap, they have some money to support their families, Therefore, as soon as I heard that the governor of Zhizhou was going to recruit again, the servants who understood what was called "Recruitment" peed on the spot. Looking at the long history master's book that had been domineering over them, they ordered them to be driven away. In case they were driven away, the whole family would have to drink West and north wind!

At present, Xu Fengyan didn't need to emphasize. He tightened his skin one by one. He never saw his previous depressed appearance again. Even those who stood guard at the gate of the Yamen held their heads high and stood still. For fear that the magistrate would stroke them directly on a whim!

These people moved by Xu Fengyan have no foundation and do nothing all day. He doesn't plan to fight against the gentry now. He can't fight! Even if it is through, he is not a God. The emperor depends on his ability to work and the result. If he asks the emperor for help in such a small matter, there is a ghost who can be valued!

When he came to Suzhou this time, in addition to the long month long star, small butterfly and small bird, he also brought four bodyguards from the government and recruited new people. He asked these new guards to train with two bodyguards. Even if he didn't practice Kung Fu, he had to know some boxing and posture.

After ordering things down, Xu Fengyan set foot according to the original plan. The new long history master books are very capable and willing to learn. Xu Fengyan boldly let go. Before he came, he had seen the topographic map of Suzhou, but the map of this era, you can't look at it from a modern point of view. There are great errors, and there are no records in many places, He had to read the state chronicles with his wife, touch the location of each county under the state, make a new map himself, and then visit everywhere, mainly to see how the local people live and what the biggest problem is.

After all, the most basic thing is still to eat and wear warm clothes. The problem of clothing and food can not be solved. What about spiritual education? So Xu Fengyan's goal is clear: find the way to get rich first, and others have to take it later.

Wuzhou is not suitable for growing rice. This place is poor, with low grain production in ancient times and poor environment. Many people starve every year. It is one of the poorest states in the country. The emperor will give it to him and want to test him. Xu Fengyan knows that it doesn't matter even if he fails. The emperor will never say anything, Because Wuzhou has this virtue for many years, it's useless for anyone to come. What can he do?

However, even if it is not for his future, but for the ordinary people who are yellow and skinny, Xu Fengyan feels that he should do what he can.

However, he didn't know much about agriculture. He was a half hearted man. The terrain of Suzhou was poor. There were floods all year round. The grain he had planted was often washed away by a flood. Xu Fengyan inspected the surrounding terrain and felt that if we wanted to improve the situation, we must dig ditches and block it.

In addition, there are many hills in Wuzhou, but the land area is small. It is more suitable for planting fruit trees. However, in the hearts of the people, planting rice and wheat is the most important. Who is willing to plant fruit trees? The fruit can't stand eating. Before that, do they want to drink wind?

Xu Fengyan ran with Changyue Changxing for three months before he could understand the terrain of Suzhou, redrawn the map, and presented a copy to the capital to the emperor. Although the emperor attached great importance to him and intended to cultivate him, he also wanted to contact between kings and officials. If Xu Fengyan did nothing, God knows when the emperor will forget him.

After getting the map, the emperor also felt that the new map looked concise and clear. He ordered other places to draw according to this method, but it had nothing to do with Xu Fengyan.

It took him three years to turn Suzhou into a land of fruit trees. After the planting of fruit trees improved, he took all the beggars in the street to dig ditches and give them food and wages every day. Otherwise, he would drive them out of the state capital. After all, it is impossible to blindly implement benevolent government. Some people are itchy and will not obey without a lesson.

Digging ditches to dredge the river works very quickly. There were only two floods in the second year alone, both in the uncut river.

Xu Fengyan sent the wine made from the fruit of the first year to the capital without saying a word. He simply wrote to the emperor and told him: I just want the emperor to advertise for me.

The emperor paid attention to his dynamics and was naturally willing to give this face. The fruit wine was used at the annual banquet. The tastes were different. Peaches, apples and hawthorn grapes were also suitable for women. A small cup of beauty before going to bed was praised by the emperor. Businessmen immediately saw huge profits. Unfortunately, Wuzhou is really remote. If you want to communicate with the outside world, you must build roads!

Xu Fengyan exchanged the extremely low profits of the second year for the donation funds of a large number of businessmen. He used all these silver to build roads. What he built was not brick roads, but cement roads!

The prescriptions for wine making and cement are given by Linglong. Xu Fengyan was moved by his wife. Xueba is so invincible that he can have everything!

Once the cement road was built, businessmen were able to pass through. In addition to fruit wine, preserved fruits and dried fruits, they also took a fancy to the cement prescription. It's worth a lot of money. How can Xu Fengyan sell it? He has long been dedicated to the emperor. The annual income of these cement factories in Suzhou is divided into 30% of Xu Fengyan with the permission of the emperor. Imagine how rich you are!

With money and roads, infrastructure has to be built. Most people have built cement houses after they are rich. The house is solid and solid, not to mention the flood. Even if there is, they can't wash away the house!

In addition, Xu Fengyan asked people to build public toilets in the city for free, popularized garbage cans, and hired some people to clean up. Those who urinate, spit and throw garbage everywhere will be fined more and more according to the number of times. The servants often patrol around. Now they are not the annoying ghost that everyone yells and beats. Now any aunt on the road sees their public clothes, They have to tell their daughters to them!

It took only five years for Wuzhou to leap from the poorest and most desolate place to a rich land that can not be underestimated.

In the past five years, Xu Fengyan has almost changed his personality. Although his handsome face is still there, he is very determined and mature. It must be that the Duke of town can't recognize that he is his eldest son.

His son has given him a long face. In the court, he is the envy of everyone. Everyone is jealous that he has given birth to a good son with ability! Cement, glass, fruit wine and some strange things are also very popular in the capital. It is said that Wuzhou has recently begun to develop medicinal plants, and the prospect is promising. Seeing that his son's term of office is coming, many people want to know the state of Wuzhou. However, the Duke of the town will not assign it easily this time, After all, Wuzhou has added a lot of silver to the household department in recent years, and the Treasury has been enriched.

The recipe for cement glass and fruit wine came from his daughter-in-law, and the Duke of town also knew it. At the beginning, he decided to marry his son because he was a close friend of Cui Shangshu, and because he heard that Miss Cui was gentle and virtuous. Although his son married later, his daughter-in-law seemed different from what he thought, but the result was good! Facts have proved that he has a good eye and chose the best daughter-in-law for his son!

The emperor publicly praised Linglong and called her a model for women in the world. Xu Fengyan made great contributions, but did not seek fame and wealth, but only asked for an order for his wife. The emperor more and more lamented the couple's loyalty and praise, and often praised them in public.

This is a lot of boasting. It still comes from the most noble person in the world. Can Xu Fengyan not make use of it? Don't forget what he did before crossing. Every director will make a film and the finished film will be released. However, if the released film doesn't have the box office, the time, money and energy invested will be wasted. At this time, you have to be good at marketing.

As the old saying goes, wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but the reality is that wine is also afraid of deep alleys. There is no problem with appropriate advertising and marketing. Xu Fengyan is an old hand.

Up to now, he has not forgotten what really inspired him to make progress after his journey.

He is a sister who can only stay at home and can't go anywhere. He must be gentle and modest. It's best to have a wife who can't even have a temper. His first wish is to let them go out without a veil one day, walk on the road and bathe in the sun, and can talk and laugh freely and choose their own life.

Maybe it will take a long time. Maybe when he is alive, he can't achieve what he did before crossing, but at least he will work hard. He also believes that even if he dies, the faith he left will be passed on. As long as there is a fire, it will burn.

Xu Fengyan closed the brothels and casinos in Suzhou and severely cracked down on illegal gambling by prostitutes. At the beginning, this behavior was also rebounded by many people. Unfortunately, Xu Fengyan is not the kind of person who would quit if you said no. It is his credit and Linglong that Suzhou can have today. Compared with those who oppose it, most people trust and worship him!

He also set up free schools, and selected some people who did not intend to take the scientific examination but knew how to read to form literacy classes. He went to various villages in person to teach adults how to read. He did not ask them to read, but at least they had to write their own names, so that they would not be deceived.

He severely cracked down on the behavior of selling children and women. Unfilial parents and unkind parents can complain to the yamen, and his behavior in recent years is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The people may not understand a new decree, but as long as they tell them that it was decided by Lord Xu, they don't ask and listen to them!

At the beginning, some people tried to bribe Xu Fengyan. After all, although all his decisions were the best for the people, they inevitably touched the interests of some people. The mountain bandits and gentry in front had been taught by him, and no one dared to face him. Seeing that there was only one wife in his family and no one else, he moved the idea of sending beauty to please.

Unfortunately, Xu Fengyan taught Xu Fengyan a hard lesson. After that, under the influence of Xu Fengyan, the long history master book around him still didn't forget the chaff and refused to take concubines. For a time, monogamy became the mainstream in Suzhou. If anyone took concubines, they were taken in secretly, otherwise they would be looked down upon by others.

The children who entered free schools were the first to receive Xu Fengyan's modern educational thought.

They will also be the future of this country.

Xu Fengyan stayed in Suzhou for six years and became famous. When he finally returned to the dynasty, even the emperor came to meet him personally.

Although Xu Fengyan is not in the capital, he can still firmly grasp the emperor's heart and become the first person in the emperor's mind. It is really envious and jealous. Not only that, the emperor also specially summoned Xu Fengyan's wife, which is the supreme glory! And it's not the identity of a house woman, it's "Sir"!

Even the emperor called Mrs. Xu "Mr. Cui", saying that she was an example of women in the world. What else can others say?

After Xu Fengyan returned to Beijing, he was naturally assigned to the Ministry of household by the emperor. The Minister of household who took office was old and should have retired, but the emperor never let him go back to his hometown. Later, everyone understood that this was to keep the position of minister of household for Xu Fengyan!

He is only 25 this year, but he is on an equal footing with his father-in-law Cui Shangshu. What should he do in the future?

Even though his series of policies in Suzhou are novel and absurd, the effect is obvious. Therefore, no one cares about Suzhou. Xu Fengyan can let go. As a result, we all see that Suzhou is booming, both economy and culture are booming. When Xu Fengyan and his wife left, the people of Suzhou even sent each other by the way and shed tears on the spot, If anyone can be an official to this extent, it's a real life.

But for the Duke's wife, the son's great achievements, the daughter-in-law's praise and appreciation by the emperor, and her permission to open a school in the capital are not comparable to the fact that they have no children!

You should know that Xu Fengyan's common brothers have long had children in groups. Xu Fengyan is good. The husband and wife have gone to Suzhou so far. They haven't returned for several years and have no children. The Duke and wife are going to be worried to death!

Unfortunately, she didn't see Xu Fengyan for the first time, because Xu Fengyan returned to Beijing, first met the emperor with his wife, and then went to the bachelor's house to see Xu Qingwan!

Xu Qingwan kept crying excitedly. Wei Shaoyuan tried to persuade and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had to let his wife cry. The little fat man who could walk next to him swayed like a little duck. He was not afraid of people at all and rushed directly at Linglong.

Wei Shaoyuan feels very humiliated. His son doesn't know what's going on. He likes good-looking people since he was a child. When he holds a beautiful handmaid, he honestly doesn't cry or make trouble. A slightly ordinary handmaid has to toss and turn, and he doesn't like being held by men, including his own father. It's really embarrassing!

The little fat man is two years old this year. He's not sure how to walk. When he sees his mother crying in the arms of the beauty, he also pours into the arms of the beauty. His happy little appearance makes Wei Shao's yuan teeth itch.

Xu Qingwan's eyes are crying and swollen. Although there have been correspondence in recent years, but the correspondence is so slow, how can it withstand the worry and worry in her heart? She looked at Linglong with tears. Wow, she cried again and hugged Linglong's neck. The little fat man cried with his mother, but he was howling. It was thunder but it didn't rain.

Xu Fengyan and Wei Shaoyuan talked on the side. Xu Qingwan cried for a while and finally cried enough. At that time, she decided to go back to the government with her brother and sister-in-law and come back in a few days.

Wei Shaoyuan sincerely asked, "can I go together?"

He doesn't want to be alone with his fat son. This smelly boy is very annoying.

Who knows that the little fat man doesn't want to be with him. Linglong doesn't want to hug Linglong with his small hands open. Because he looks fat, he doesn't loosen his legs. Seeing Xu Fengyan's eyes, he picked up the little fat man. As a result, the guy opened his mouth and howled. Looking at the expressions of Wei Shaoyuan and Xu Qingwan, it's estimated that he's used to howling and has a sense of rhythm, It's like playing a disc.

So when I went back, I brought a family of three oil bottles.

Zhenguo is just waiting for his son to come back. He hasn't seen him for many years. There are many more people in the house. The Emperor just gave Xu Fengyan a residence. The original little grandfather no longer exists. Now when you see Zhenguo, everyone will say: look, this is Lord Xu's father.

Xu Fengyan is no longer the little grandfather in people's mouth, but has become lord Xu who will be known to the world as soon as he mentions it.

The Duke of Zhenguo was very excited, but Xu Fengyan was very calm. The relationship between him and his father was not deep, and even family affection needed to be cultivated. It was amazing that he had passed through nearly 30 years, but his parents in his previous life seemed to be still in front of him and never forgotten a day. In recent years, the faces of the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife have begun to blur in his memory.

The conversation between father and son was as brief and cold as ever, but the Duke of town didn't think there was anything. It's normal, isn't it? That's how his father got along with him.

The Duke's wife was much more eager. When she saw Xu Fengyan, she burst into tears and scolded him. She thought it was true, but it was a pity that Xu Fengyan couldn't resonate with her emotionally.

The whole journey was the same as not seeing Linglong. She just said two words to Xu Qingwan. Seeing the little fat grandson, she asked Xu Fengyan, "you are not young now. It's time to consider having a child."

Xu Fengyan gave a meal with chopsticks in his hand and finally answered honestly, "no, mother, I have decided not to have children."

"What?!"

The Duke's wife was immediately excited, "what did you just say? Say it again?! "

Even the Duke of the town frowned slightly. Considering that his daughter-in-law was there, he didn't shout, but he obviously didn't agree.

How can you do without children?

Xu Qingwan knew what her brother and sister-in-law planned for a long time. Her brother had told her that in such a world, he didn't want any blood ties except her.

In his last life, Xu Fengyan was still single when he was thirty. His parents didn't rush or worry. Anyway, he didn't have the throne to inherit. His son would do whatever he wanted. As long as he lived happily in his life, the couple didn't know anything when they closed their eyes and kicked. Why worry about his son's future?

Besides, the dividends Xu Fengyan gets from making movies are probably enough for him to spend money in his old age.
