Chapter 1457： concubines

Three days later, Zhulan received a thick letter from her youngest son, and Boss Zhou happened to be there. Boss Zhou asked, "Is my little brother not coming back this year for the Chinese New Year?"

"Wu Ming is worried that he will leave by himself and will not come back this year."

Boss Zhou misses his younger brother. In the days without his younger brother, Minghui will be left alone.

Zhulan flipped through the letter, frowning slightly. There was a lot written in the letter. Huaizhou is a food continent, but there is no shortage of food.

Boss Zhou asked, "Mother, what did the younger brother write?"

Zhu Lan put down the letter, "Wu Ming took a concubine, and Chang Zhong felt puzzled. He thought that Wu Ming and the Song family had a good relationship.

Boss Zhou was surprised, "Wu Ming took a concubine?"

The relationship between the two families is close, he didn't say it, and he thought that Wu Ming would not take a concubine.

Zhulan took out a piece of letter paper, "Changzhong wrote to Wu Ming and told him that not everyone can be arbitrary. It can be seen that taking a concubine is not his intention, but he can't refuse."

Boss Zhou is no longer the simple and straightforward he used to be, and he understands the meaning of his mother's words, "Is this concubine watching over him?"

"I don't know. This is Wu Ming's own business, and he will handle it well."

Wu Ming is not the Zhou family after all, the Zhou family has no right to interfere in Wu Ming's back house, let alone a big guy like Wu Ming, Wu Ming has weighed every step he takes, and he knows what he wants.

Boss Zhou sighed with emotion, "Our brothers are able to live comfortably thanks to my father's protection."

Needless to say in the capital, it is said that the third Changlian, because of his father's relationship, has avoided a lot of local filth.

Zhulan asked, "How are the vegetables growing in the greenhouse?"

Boss Zhou had a deep smile on his face, "It's growing very well, and I'll be able to eat fresh green vegetables in a few days."

"That's good, kill a sheep in a few days, and eat mutton pot in winter."

Boss Zhou nodded in response, and said, "Mother, father donated the breeding sheep on our Zhuangzi, and now Zhuangzi has only one breeding sheep."

Now that beef and mutton are scarce in the capital, the beef that could be bought in the past can no longer be bought. He can value the breeding sheep of his Zhuangzi, and he is thinking about breeding more next year. As a result, his father donated the breeding sheep in an instant.

Zhulan said, "The court lacks breeding sheep. Our Zhuangzi's breeding sheep are high-quality breeds bought at a high price. Although your father is stingy, he is the most generous when it comes to important matters."

Boss Zhou felt ashamed, "My son is selfish."

"Don't say that, you're just distressed. The livestock on Zhuangzi are all yours. Mother understands your feelings."

Boss Zhou asked, "Mother, where is the imperial court going to raise sheep?"

Zhulan knew, "In the south, when they multiply, they will be sent to the grasslands for breeding. Most of the people on the grasslands live on animal husbandry. Without livestock, they can't live. The imperial court is only a couple of years old, and now the grasslands belong to the imperial court. Just wait until it reproduces."

In the Hanlin Academy, Liu Song stopped Wen Rong, "It's your idea to donate food."

Wen Rong, "What did you say?"

"Stop pretending, it must be your idea."

Changzhi missed the best chance to leave, and could only continue to hide behind the bookshelf, but his ears pricked up honestly.

Wen Rong held the book and looked directly into Liu Song's eyes, "What if it was me? What if it wasn't me?"

Liu Song chuckled, "If it's you that says you want to change the Wen family, and you've already taken action, it's not you, it just means that I think highly of you."

If it is the former, Wen Rong is ahead of him, and he does not admit that he is worse than Wen Rong.

Wen Rong smiled, holding the book and leaving without saying a word.

Liu Song's heart sank, so it was indeed Wen Rong's idea, but he still had no right to speak in the Liu family, and a sense of frustration lingered in his heart.

Changzhi waited for the two to leave before he came out, holding the book and fell into deep thought. If Wen Rong influenced the Wen family and Wen Rong completely controlled the Wen family, the Wen family and the Zhou family would not have to face each other, and then fell into silence again. The emperor wanted to balance, Even if Wen Rong controls the Wen family, the Wen family and the Zhou family are still relative.

Zhangzhou, Changyi came back from outside, his nose was freezing red, Yushuang handed him hot tea, "Father, the weather is so cold, don't go out with Liufeng."

Changyi drank hot water to warm his body, "I want to go see the people here in person."

In the past few days, when the son-in-law goes to the village, he will follow him. The life of the people here is more difficult than he thought. Many families have run out of food, and the children have no strength and can only lie on the kang.

Some houses boiled hay in pots and drank hay soup, as if the children wanted to eat something delicious.

The son-in-law sent some sweet potatoes and dried sea vegetables from house to house, and the people did not dare to eat more when they got food. The family of six shared a sweet potato, squeezed a little sea vegetable and cooked a large pot of soup. This kind of meal is very satisfying for adults and children.

Yushuang listened to her father's talk about the difficulties of the people, and sighed, "Liufeng took the lead in donating food, but the county is not rich, and the food received is not much. I don't know how long it will last."

Changyi asked, "Didn't get the fish cake?"

"There are too many poverty-stricken places in Zhangzhou. Our county government has some food to support, and some counties have no food at all. Now we can help the most difficult county towns."

Changyi frowned, "I'll go talk to Liu Feng."

You should fight or fight, don't think that you can hold on and let the above get used to ignoring Liu Feng, this is not acceptable.

Liu Feng was stunned when he heard his father-in-law's words, "Father, I understand."

"Well, your heart is good, but you have to plan more. Don't wait for you to be really short of food, but the above thinks that you can support it, and the people will suffer."

Junior Liu Feng broke out in a cold sweat and bowed, "My son-in-law has been taught."

Changyi was satisfied with his son-in-law's attitude, "Don't support everything by yourself, only the children who cry can eat. Of course, I also have to praise your actions. You have done a lot of practical things this year, and Dad is very pleased."

Liu Feng was embarrassed, "My son-in-law doesn't do much."

"Don't be modest, your idea of ​​letting people grow medicinal herbs is very good. As long as it develops, it will definitely get out of the poor counties."

The corners of Liu Feng's mouth turned up uncontrollably. He was recognized by his father-in-law. Recently, the worries of the people's lack of food were gone, and he was full of energy.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren knew that Wu Ming took a concubine, "Wu Ming is not easy outside, he can really rely on me, but what the emperor wants to see is Wu Ming's own ability, and Wu Ming is a pure ancient person, he is not opposed to taking a concubine. "

Zhulan, "I'm just pity the Song family."

Zhou Shuren laughed, "Wu Ming knows what he wants, he won't let the backyard mess up, his heart is more powerful than his feelings."

Zhulan didn't want to continue talking asked, "Is King Qi's livestock harvest going well?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "It didn't go well. I just donated food, and I couldn't help but feel conflicted. The court used money to buy livestock, who would really want money? King Qi searched a few places, but not many donated. They were all killed."

Zhulan sneered, "Oh, they only care about themselves, how can they care about the lives of the people."

Zhou Shuren saw more, "It's not worth you to be angry with them. They thought they were very careful, and the emperor knew it."

"I wonder how you know that, it was the emperor who told you?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes."

Seeing that Shuren's expression was wrong, Zhulan asked, "What else is there?"

Zhou Shuren said, "The emperor asked Yuyi's age today."

Zhulan stared, "Is this a thought for Yu Yi's marriage?"
