Chapter 301: ,understand situation
Chapter 301, understand the situation
After entering the house, Mrs. Li and her three children took their seats one after another. After the maids had finished their tea, they stepped aside.
"Brother, what are you doing with a box?"
Seeing Yan Wenxiu holding a box in his hand, Daohua couldn't help asking.
Yan Wenxiu said with a smile: "When I was wandering in the provincial government, I passed the drugstore and saw the good white fungus in this box, so I wanted to buy it for my mother to replenish my body." He said, smiling and stepped forward and put the box in Mrs. Li. On the table at hand.
Ms. Li was surprised at first, and then she opened the box with a smile on her face, and looked at the white and transparent white fungus like a blooming chrysanthemum, and her heart was overwhelming.
This is the first time the eldest son is so considerate of her!
"Okay, big brother, I said that we don't care about how you left it that day. It turned out that you bought white fungus for your mother. Why don't you call me? I can buy something for my mother."
Yan Wenkai muttered dissatisfied.
Yan Wenxiu squinted and said, "Do you have silver on your body?"
Yan Wenkai choked, suddenly lost his head and said nothing.
He can't save money. The monthly monthly bills are spent cleanly every time. Sometimes he has to find third and eldest brothers to help.
Seeing Er'er deflated, Mrs. Li smiled: "Mother knows your filial piety, and you are all still studying now. You don't need to spend so much money. Keep your monthly routine for your own use. Mother, here, you have everything."
Daohua sat next to Mrs. Li and said disapprovingly: "Mother, this is the mind of the brothers. How can it be said that it is expensive? You often remember the food, clothing, housing and transportation of your brothers. When the brothers meet good things outside, think I'm trying to bring you back. Isn't this what you should do, why are you pushing it out?"
Traditional parents are very happy to respect their children, but they have to look like they don’t need them. The more the times, the children take it seriously, so they don’t buy it anymore.
This person’s feelings need to be interactive.
Even if the gift is lighter, it is still happy to know that it is remembered.
There is no way that one party only knows to take, while the other party blindly pays. People are not sages. Over time, the emotions must be imbalanced, and the push is in vain.
It is better to happily accept the other's kindness from the beginning, and then compensate as much as possible.
Mrs. Li clicked on Daohua’s forehead: "You girl, there are so many crooked things."
Daohua stared: "What is wrong with me, brothers are filial, this kind of behavior should be encouraged, don't you feel unhappy when the eldest brother sent white fungus?"
Mrs. Li smiled and glanced at her daughter, but said nothing more this time.
After , Daohua sat for a while and went back to her yard.
The yard is much larger, the layout is similar to that of the state government, but there are a few more laurel trees in the yard.
Daohua looked at the houses everywhere. Lixia didn't follow her to the provincial government. She cleaned up the furnishings in the house, almost all of them were arranged in accordance with the orders of Daohua.
Ina Flower nodded in satisfaction, and when she saw that there was nothing to change, she returned to the main house.
"Go and call Brother Xiao Liu, I have something to ask him."
Wang Man'er glanced at the sky. It was already half the afternoon: "Now? Do you want the girl to take a break first?"
Daohua shook his head: "I have to quickly find out about the situation in Ningmen Mansion. If there is a suitable villager and field, I must buy it quickly, otherwise I have to miss this year's spring ploughing."
Wang Man'er nodded, quickly turned around and went out.
After a while, Qin Xiaoliu came.
Before Daohua went to the provincial government, he specifically instructed Qin Xiaoliu to ask him to inquire about the situation here as soon as he arrived at Ningmen.
Qin Xiaoliu ran out of the sky during this period of time. Sometimes he went far away and would spend the night outside. With this busy schedule, Daohua finally managed to handle the things that Daohua had confessed.
"Girl, Ningmen Prefecture governs three prefectures and eighteen counties, and its jurisdiction is at least three times that of other prefectures. Of course, although the area is large, more than half of the counties are Xia County."
“Many places are relatively deserted, especially in the counties on the border of Fenxi and Jiguang. Many of the land is left unused and no one is cultivated.”
Ina Flower asked: "Why is this?"
Qin Xiaoliu: "The counties next to Fenxi were caused by banditry in the past few years. Many people were robbed of their possessions. If they resist, they will lose their lives."
"I heard the old people over there say that everyone was scared and moved away. Even if Governor Guo Qing has suppressed the banditry in the past two years, people still don’t want to go back."
"The county next to Jiguang is barren. First, the fields themselves are barren. Second, because of the floods last year, many refugees who lost their homes flocked past."
"The more the refugees, the more troubles there will be, and the local people will be miserable. Some people who have relatives elsewhere have just hid."
There are no people, and the fields are naturally no one to plant.
Listening to this, Daohua silently sympathized with the cheap father in her heart. The situation in Ningmen Mansion is complicated enough and it is not easy to manage!
"Tell me about the situation in the fields here!"
Qin Xiaoliu quickly handed over the booklet that recorded the conditions of the fields in various places.
Taohua took it over and looked at it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Little Six Brother, that's okay, the records are very complete."
The idle fields in the counties and the surrounding conditions of the fields are clearly written.
Qin Xiaoliu scratched the back of his head, and said a little embarrassed: "I asked Master Xiao to borrow the county historian, otherwise, I can't collect too much information."
Daohua still said with a look of appreciation: "It's good to know that I can find someone to help, and I find the right person."
Although Daohua is younger than herself, Qin Xiaoliu still feels happy when she hears her praise. He feels that it has become worthwhile to get up and go in the dark and toil around these days.
"Man, give ten taels of silver to Little Six Brother."
Wang Man'er smiled and went to fetch the silver.
Following Daohua for several years, Qin Xiaoliu also knew that the girl was generous, so he happily thanked him: "Thank you girl for the reward." This is a recognition of his ability to do things.
"Sand Soil"
Daohua carefully flipped through the booklet in her hand, and when she saw the land conditions in Shahe County, her eyes flashed.
Qin Xiaoliu quickly said: “Shahe County is next to the Jiguang border. Almost all the land in the county is sandy soil. It is the poorest county among the 18 counties under the jurisdiction of Ningmen Prefecture.”
Daohua asked, "How long does it take to get from Fucheng to Shahe County?"
Qin Xiaoliu thought for a while: "If you take a boat, it only takes half a day. If you go on a dry road, you will have more time."
Daohua nodded, and after a moment of deep thought, he walked towards the main courtyard.
"Mother!"
As soon as Daohua arrived at the main courtyard, she wrapped Mrs. Li: "Mother, I want to go to Shahe County tomorrow to see the fields there."
Ms. Li looked helpless: "Aren’t you tired? You just came back, and you don’t say you have a two-day rest."
Daohua shook her head: "I'm afraid that spring ploughing will be delayed."
Mrs. Li was silent for a moment: “I really can’t do anything with you. Let your third uncle accompany you. Our family also wants to add land, and let your third uncle go over to see the situation.”
