Three days later, Zhulan received a thick letter from her younger son. It happened that Mr. Zhou was also there. Mr. Zhou asked, "Will you not come back for the New Year this year?"

"Wu Ming is worried that he will leave by himself, so he won't come back this year."

Boss Zhou misses me. Minghui has no one to care about the days without me.

Zhulan looked through the letter and frowned slightly. There were a lot of words on it. Huaizhou is a continent of grain, but there is no shortage of food.

Boss Zhou asked, "Mom, what did you write?"

Zhulan put down the letter, "Wu Ming took a concubine, Chang Zhong felt puzzled. He thought Wu Ming and Song had a good relationship, so he didn't understand why he wanted to take a concubine, so he thought more and wrote more."

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

The two families were close, but he didn't say anything, thinking 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 do anything, but it is obvious that taking a concubine is not the original intention, but he cannot refuse."

Boss Zhou is no longer as simple as before. He understands the meaning of his mother's words, "Is this concubine monitoring him?"

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

After all, Wu Ming is not a member of the Zhou family. The Zhou family has no power to interfere with Wu Ming’s back house. Besides, Wu Ming has weighed every step he takes, and he knows what he wants.

Boss Zhou sighed, "We brothers can live a comfortable life, and we rely on our father to protect us."

Needless to say, the capital city is about the third son Changlian, who avoided many local distractions because of his father.

Zhulan asked, "How is the vegetable in the greenhouse grown?"

Mr. Zhou smiled deeper, "It's pretty good-looking, you can eat fresh vegetables in a few days."

"That's great. Kill a sheep in a few days and eat mutton pots in winter."

Boss Zhou nodded and said, "Mom, my father donated the breeding sheep in our village. Now there is only one breeding sheep in the village."

Now the beef and mutton in Beijing are scarce. The beef that could be bought before is not available now. He is very precious to his own farm breeding sheep and is thinking of breeding more next year, but his father donated the breeding sheep in a blink of an eye.

Zhulan, "The court lacks breeding sheep. The breeding sheep in our village is a good breed that can be bought for a lot of money. Although your father is stingy, he can do the best in major issues."

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

"Don't say that, you just feel sorry for the livestock in the village. You have arranged it. My mother understands your mood."

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

Zhulan knew, "In the south, when it breeds, it will be sent to the grassland for breeding. Most of the people on the grassland live on animal husbandry. Without livestock, they cannot live. The court has only been hard for one or two years. Now the grassland belongs to the court, so it will be great when it breeds."

In the Hanlin Academy, Liu Song stopped Wen Ying, "Donate grain is your idea."

Wen Ying, “What did you say?”

"Stop pretending, it must be your idea."

Changzhi missed the best opportunity to leave and could only continue to hide behind the bookshelf without moving, but his ears stood up honestly.

Wen Ying held the book and looked into Liu Song's eyes, "So what if it's me? So what if it's not me?"

Liu Song chuckled, "If it is you, it means you want to change the Wen family and have taken action, it is not you, it only means I respect you."

If it was the former, Wen Ying walked ahead of him, and he did not admit that he was worse than Wen Ying.

Wen Ying smiled and left without saying a word with the book.

Liu Song felt heavy, so it was Wen Ying's idea, and he still had no say in the Liu family, and a sense of frustration lingered in his heart.

Chang Zhi waited for the two of them to leave before they came out, holding the book and fell into deep thought. If Wen Ying was influencing the Wen family, Wen Ying would completely control the Wen family. Will the Wen family and Zhou family not have to face each other? Then they fell into silence. The emperor hoped to balance. Even if Wen Ying controlled the Wen family, the Wen family and Zhou family were still relative.

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

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

These days, he would follow his son-in-law to the village. The lives of the people here are harder than he thought. Many families have run out of food, and the children have no strength to lie on the kang.

There are several restaurants who cook hay in pots and drink hay soup. The children want to eat something delicious.

The son-in-law sent some sweet potatoes and dried sea vegetables from house to house. The people didn't dare to eat too much food. The family of six divided a sweet potato, and the sea vegetables were pinched and cooked a large pot of soup. This kind of meal was very satisfying for adults and children to eat.

Yushuang heard his father say that the people were in trouble and sighed, "Liufeng took the lead in donating grain, but the county is not rich and he doesn't get much food. The fine grain donated by our family and the grain merchants exchanged coarse grains. I don't know how long the county government's grain can last."

Changyi asked, "Didn't you 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 provide relief to the most difficult county towns."

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

It is still necessary to fight for it. Don’t think that you can keep it and let the superiors get used to ignoring Liu Feng. This is not possible.

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

"Well, you have a good heart, but you should also plan more. Don't wait for you to really lack food. The superiors think that you can still hold on. Then the people will suffer."

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

Changyi was satisfied with his son-in-law's attitude, "Don't hold on to everything yourself. Only children who cry can have food. Of course, I must also praise your actions. You have done a lot of practical things this year, and my father is very pleased."

Liu Feng was embarrassed, "The son-in-law didn't do much."

"Don't be humble. You have a good idea of ​​letting the people grow medicinal materials. As long as they develop, they will definitely get out of poverty."

Liu Feng's mouth was uncontrollably raised, and he was recognized by his father-in-law. Recently, the sorrow of the people's shortage of food has disappeared, and he was full of energy.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren knew that Wu Ming took a concubine, "It is not easy for Wu Ming to be outside. He can indeed rely on me, but what the emperor wants to see is Wu Ming's own ability, and Wu Ming is a pure ancient man, so he is not resistant to taking a concubine."

Zhulan, “I’m just a pity for Song.”

Zhou Shuren laughed, "Wu Ming knew what he wanted. He would not let the backyard get messy. His heart was more powerful than his feelings."

Zhulan didn't want to continue talking and asked, "Did the King of Qi collect livestock smoothly?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "It's not going well. I just donated food, so I can't help but feel inconsistency. The court used silver to buy livestock. Who can really ask for silver? The King of Qi found a few places, but not many donated. Some people heard the news and killed all the livestock."

Zhulan sneered, "Ha, they just care about themselves, how can they care about the lives of the people?"

Zhou Shuren has seen each other too many times, "Is it worth it to be angry with them? They think they are doing very carefully, but they don't know where the emperor knows it."

"How do you know? It turned out that the emperor told you?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes."

Zhulan saw Shuren's expression inconsistently, "What else is there?"

Zhou Shuren said: "The emperor asked Yuyi about his age today."
