Chapter 1492 Killing multiple birds with one stone
Zhou Shuren hasn't checked Jiri for a long time, and he has been busy with too many things recently.
Lord Yu was very clear, he and his wife wrote down the latest auspicious days, "The latest auspicious day is seven days later, and the auspicious days of this month will be gone."
Zhou Shuren can see clearly in the mind of the adults, this person does not say other auspicious days, only the most recent, because he wants to get married soon, "Master Yu also saw that, because of the masculinity, the adults did this to Benhou Niangzi. The folk orphanages have a lot of criticism, and they have attacked Ben Hou one after another. There are too many people waiting to see Ben Hou's jokes and fall into the ground. Are you sure you want to get married?"
Lord Yu can also see clearly, but he trusts Zhou Hou, and he attacked Zhou Hou continuously, and Zhou Hou wins, "I'm sure."
Zhou Shuren stopped and looked into the eyes of Lord Yu, "This marquis hates people who stab in the back the most. If someone betrays this marquis, this marquis will make the other party die miserably, do you understand?"
Lord Yu was stunned. It was the first time he heard Zhou Hou speak so serious and cruel. , the subordinate thinks very clearly."
Zhou Shuren's serious face slowly climbed into a smile, "Then seven days later, Ben Hou thinks it will be good after seven days."
Master Yu exhaled and stood up straight, "As soon as the official leaves the palace, he will send someone back to tell the lady that he will be ready."
Zhou Shuren nodded, turned to continue walking, and said casually, "Your business department is short of people."
Lord Yu sighed: "There is indeed a shortage of people."
Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "The Ministry of Household also lacks people!"
In the beginning, the Ministry of Commerce came out of the household section, and now many of the backbones of the Ministry of Commerce are officials from the former Ministry of Household.
Lord Yu didn't understand, "What does Lord Hou mean?"
Zhou Shuren lowered his head and said, "Actually, you can train some people. It's good to select them from the people, what do you think?"
Lord Yu understood this time. Lord Hou wanted the Ministry of Commerce to speak up. The Ministry of Commerce was indeed short of people, and the yamen in all the prefectures were not full of people now, "Xiaguan wrote it down."
Zhou Shuren didn't speak again, and after talking for a while, the wind filled his stomach, and his stomach was a little cold.
Zhou Shuren wanted to find jobs for the Wen family and at the same time select some talents. Some people did not pass the exam because they were not good enough.
Now each department has subdivided errands. In fact, each department lacks people, but the household department is even more lacking.
And now that the grasslands are divided into states, a large number of grass-roots officials are also needed. His move has served multiple purposes.
Zhou's family, Zhulan wants to go out of the city to visit Zhuangzi in person, and Mrs. Li will definitely bring it with her. To her surprise, Yuwen is also going.
The whole family looked at Yuwen in surprise, and Yuwen blushed.
Zhulan said: "It's rare to see you so diligent."
Yuwen felt that she had found her goal. She was born at the end point that her grandmother said. She has a family background and money, but she is not interested in anything. Her grandmother's job made her want to live, "Grandma, my granddaughter wants to help you. ."
Zhulan was very happy that Yuwen was interested in the orphanage, "Okay, then go have a look."
Yudie and Yuyi also spoke. Zhulan didn't plan to bring several granddaughters. One was enough. The granddaughter helped her with her back. Will let my granddaughter help out.
Now that I have a granddaughter, it can be understood that I am worried about taking care of her. If I bring too much, it will inevitably make people think more.
There are several Zhuangzi given by the queen for consideration. Zhuangzi is not far from the capital, and it takes an hour and a half to leave the city. The person responsible for the construction of Zhuangzi is the housekeeper Wang.
Zhulan got off the carriage and saw the busy people, "A lot of people are employed?"
Butler Wang returned, "The strong laborers from the two nearby villages have come, and they are all rushing for food."
Now there are very few day laborers who use the grain settlement. Zhulan pays the grain settlement. There is a meal at noon, but they all come.
Zhulan pointed at the person squatting in the distance again, "What's going on?"
Wang Guanjia said: "Zhuangzi uses grain to settle the bill. Now every household is short of grain. Those who are not working, wait for the opportunity!"
Mr. Li said, "Didn't you say that the people near the capital have some food?"
Butler Wang explained, "It is true that there are some foundations, but the grain merchants can't stand the price hikes again and again, and they have sold some grains more or less."
Mr. Li exhaled and could still see the white mist, "It's really cold."
Butler Wang couldn't understand the suffering of the people. He was the butler rewarded by the emperor to the Zhou family. Originally, the Zhou family had a low official position, but now it is the Hou's residence. He felt like a dream all these years. Although he is not a big housekeeper, he is very respectable in the capital.
If it wasn't for the old lady who asked him to take charge before the prince came back, he wouldn't even have to suffer.
I started taking in orphans yesterday. There are already fifteen orphans. Zhulan first saw the progress of the construction before going to see the children.
Butler Wang said all the way: "There are a few children who came here by themselves when they heard the news. A few of the older ones wanted to help build houses, but the younger ones didn't let them. These kids are skinny and skinny."
These children have thin arms and thin legs, he is afraid that the children will have an accident.
Zhulan saw the children. Several children were helping the peasant woman wash the sweet potatoes and prepare for lunch. The manager wanted to speak, but Zhulan stopped her, "I'll take a look."
Several children saw her hurriedly standing up. Zhulan was already wearing a low-key outfit when she went out, but the low-key clothing material is still there. This is the difference in grades, and the children are afraid.
The dozen or so children are indeed very thin, not tall, and severely lacking in nutrition. The oldest is about ten years old, and the youngest is about seven years old. There are not many girls, but more boys.
Zhulan's heart is very heavy. In ancient times, children were easy to die, young orphans had only one way to die, and girls were even more vulnerable, but those who survived were all determined, which made her feel better.
When Zhulan donated supplies donated a lot of fish, she has a fish farm and the fish are stored in the ice cellar, now the weather is not cold and donated more, "Let's add an extra fish soup for lunch today. "
The child needs to make up for it. Fish soup is the only meaty food. There is a lack of meat on the market. There is no meat in the donated materials.
Because we added another fish soup today, everyone is happy.
Zhulan took a close look at Zhuangzi, and was satisfied with Butler Wang's ability to handle affairs, so she returned without waiting.
Back home, Steward Ding was waiting at the door, and said with a happy face, "Second Master Liu just sent a deer and a sheep over here."
Zhulan was delighted, "Good guy, a rare good thing."
Ding Guanjia said, "Second son Liu went hunting today, he hunted two deer, and he specially sent one over. The sheep were raised by the Liu family's Zhuangzi, saying that Miss San likes to eat mutton, so he specially chose the fattest one to bring. "
Zhulan paused, "I have a heart."
Butler Ding was very happy. Every time the second son of Liu came to the mansion, the second master always mentioned how the King of Qin was filial to the marquis. It's so nice to Miss San.
