Zheng Xiyuan could understand some of what Chen Kai said, but some, especially some new words such as employment rate, always required a little thought to understand the meaning, and some of them were vague to her.

She didn't fully understand it. However, she didn't intend to delve into it. Since Chen Kai had said it, he would definitely do it. As for her, she just had to wait and see.

In the night chat between husband and wife, in the infatuation of reunion after a long separation, you and I talk freely about each other's experiences in the past six months, sharing joy, and confiding in lovesickness. Gradually, in that "the sky is dry and things are dry,

I don’t know how many times it has passed before I regained my composure. What’s left is just gentle breathing and an ever-closer embrace, nothing else.

When he had already started to wash up, Chen Kai was still sleeping deeply and sweetly with the person next to his pillow. Outside the door, Zheng Xiyuan's dowry maid was standing there, watching every corner of the small courtyard with a pair of eyes.

, whenever someone approached and might make some noise, she would immediately make a silent gesture. Among them, the most common ones were the few maids responsible for washing, carrying washing water with just the right temperature.

I have been pushed back by her several times.

This scene soon reached the ears of the housekeeper. But after that, no one came in for a long time to disturb her, and the dowry maid focused more on listening to what was going on in the house.

After a long time, there was a sound of getting up from inside the house. She quickly ran out and called the servants waiting outside the courtyard to immediately prepare for washing. She ran away in three steps at a time.

I went back and pushed the door open. What I saw was that the master looked helpless and allowed his wife, who was only wearing a hastily dressed clothes, to take care of her. With that expression, no one had ever seen Chen Kai be so helpless.

"You came just in time to serve my wife."

"Here."

A greeting was given, and the response was soft and comforting. After half a year on the battlefield, especially when I was in the army, there would be no one to serve and dress. The arrogance and licentiousness that I had just developed since I got married had long been forgotten. It was very uncomfortable.

Chen Kai, who was used to it, got rid of his wife's obligations and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Zheng Xiyuan's lips curled up at first, and then he laughed again. He didn't know what funny thing she had remembered.

"You guys go down first, it's enough for me to take care of you here."

The status of the dowry maid in the palace is very high, and it can even be said to be very detached. With an understatement, those maids who brought toiletries withdrew. Only one person was left busy serving Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan.

People wash up.

After washing up, breakfast has been prepared, and they are just waiting for the master and his wife. The dowry maid helped Zheng Xiyuan comb the waterfall of black hair and make it into a dignified bun. Her hands were skillful and gentle, and her strength was very good.

It was so perfect that the conversation between Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan was not interrupted even for a moment.

"Yuanyuan, you just came here, I won't go on duty, I will make the officials and staff laugh."

"Tch, that's not what my husband said last night. He also said that he would spend a lot of time with me today, but it turns out that he is still on duty. Hey, last night he was just coaxing me to play."

"Hey, didn't I remember the day of the holiday incorrectly? Tomorrow, I will take my wife and the two little guys to have a nice tour of Guangzhou City. I should apologize."

"That's pretty much it."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, I'm a pretty good governor. I don't have to rush to court in the middle of the night, and I don't have to listen to the crows from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. On the contrary, the emperor, if he doesn't go to court one day,

When the king comes to court, he ridicules that the spring night is short and the sun rises high. From now on, jokes about the king not going to court early will fly all over the sky."

"Husband started talking nonsense again." Zheng Xiyuan smiled and asked immediately: "Don't my husband's official positions also have the title of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? If so, I'm afraid it will be my husband who speaks the most bitter words. Others

The censors are all staying away."

After all, the ability to complain has been accumulated for hundreds of years. Chen Kai asked himself that he still has some skills, and he may not necessarily lose to those censors. However, one must be humble, and Chen Kai still dare not take it seriously.

Immediately afterwards, he said another even more teasing sentence.

"Madam, do you still remember? My husband said that the eunuchs in the palace have always produced outstanding martial arts masters. Think about those crow's mouths, with their iron mouths and steel teeth, they have conquered the world, even Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Cao.

Even the best masters are not afraid. They all obviously have extremely deep internal strength to protect their bodies. People, it was a showdown between the best masters. Looking at the martial arts, it was a rare and big event. It was a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City or something.

.Because my husband is afraid of heights, I won’t go up.”

"Yes, yes, yes, my husband won't go up, so he will just watch their jokes below."

"..."

In front of the dowry maid, the couple did not have much to be taboo about. Even Zheng Xiyuan rarely put away the majesty of the matron that she usually maintained and started to quarrel with Chen Kai.

In the words of Chen Kai's mother-in-law, this little girl will take over the house sooner or later, and she will also be Zheng Xiyuan's right-hand man in the house in the future. Originally, Zheng Xiyuan had already made such a plan when she was pregnant, but Chen Kai was really

I was too busy to make any concubine-taking jokes, and I had no plan to do so. When the army went out, it was time to join hands with Li Dingguo. This was really the case. On the contrary, it was easier to give people a sense of addiction.

The image of a woman who is not enterprising will always be inconvenient in big things.

Here, the couple were chatting and laughing. The dowry maid waited there silently without saying a word, but as far as she was concerned, except for the couple who stood at the top of the power in Guangzhou City, everyone else had already

Being blocked by her is enough, the rest is just waiting.

After breakfast, the wet nurse of the pair before Chen Kai came on duty took the baby over. Compared with yesterday, it seemed that the pregnancy was not as serious as yesterday. It is estimated that their respective wet nurses did not have less preaching yesterday. Seeing this

, Zheng Xiyuan immediately stepped forward to introduce to the two children, and at the same time calmed their emotions, and finally did not have the same trouble as yesterday.

However, the state of acknowledgment still existed, and Chen Kai didn't really go up to touch the child. He just stood there and looked at it for a while, then reluctantly left the back office and went to the front office to take charge.

went.

The residence is in the same building as the company, but it turned out that he was late. The current situation will probably be like this in future generations. However, now Chen Kai is the boss, the deputy director of the group, and the boss of the branch, especially in the back

His status is the same in both the Yongli Imperial Court and the Zheng Group. How can the workers below dare to question the leadership.

What's more, the feudal society's humanistic thinking and the principle that a little separation is better than a newlywed are understood by the housekeepers and servants in the house, and even the officials and staff of the governor's yamen can understand it. Here, it is just like usual.

Like that, those who should come to ask for instructions come to ask for instructions, and those who should come to report come to report. It is as if you have passed through the front and back gates and traveled back to an hour ago. How is it magical?

In this season, the most important thing in the local area is summer harvest and summer planting. These are major events related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and we must not ignore them. This year, all counties in Guangzhou Prefecture are reducing taxes to varying degrees. Yongli

The nine-year summer tax is basically waived within the boundaries of Guangzhou Prefecture, even in several counties of Huizhou Prefecture. Officials no longer need to go to the countryside to supervise education, which saves some thought and fatigue, but it is also

It is inevitable that a lot of income will be lost, and the traditional skill of pouring and kicking dendrobium will be wasted, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss.

However, this does not mean that they can be idle. Today, Chen Kai has the final say in the five prefectures of Guangdong, Guangzhou, Huizhou, Chaozhou, Qiongzhou and Shaozhou. Chaozhou and Qiongzhou are both places that have been operating for many years.

, it is enough for normal administration. Although the other three prefectures have reduced taxes to varying degrees, Chen Kai attaches great importance to the recovery of people's livelihood in each prefecture and county, and the officials below are naturally unavoidable.

He went to the countryside and broke his leg. If he dared to lie down in the county office like this, completely ignoring the recovery of people's livelihood, he was afraid that he would be reprimanded or even fired.

Tax reductions and exemptions, but the army still needs to eat, the officials still need to be paid, and Chen Kai still has to continue to toss, and even toss bigger things. All of this means that he has to rest on his laurels, and there is no other way.

.

Fortunately, Chen Kai has accumulated many years of experience, and the strength of the Zheng Group is no longer the same. Especially during the economic war in the past two years, corrupt officials made a lot of money, and the Zheng Group also had

I was so full that my belly was almost bursting. Even though it has cost a lot to restore people's livelihood in Fujian recently, the foundation is still there, and for a while, I won't be like Kuang Lu who had to "have nothing to return to".

It’s just that no matter what time, the capital will always be exhausted one day, especially now that Fujian and Guangdong provinces basically only have Chaozhou, Qiongzhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou, and the taxes are collected normally, the figure of the fiscal deficit

It's even more worrying.

However, saving money has never been Chen Kai's style. The more ugly the financial statements are, the more he will continue to toss. Not only is he tossing under his nose, but also those that cannot be covered by his sight are not immune.

"How is the renovation of the official roads in Guangzhou and Huizhou Prefecture going?"

"Returning to Fujun, after receiving the government order, each county is investigating the status of the official roads under the jurisdiction of the county. According to the people below, most of the conditions are not very good. There are many repairing them now, and the speed is still high.

It's relatively fast. But the counties continue to report more problems that are in disrepair, and the progress has been unable to improve."

The official roads in Chaozhou and Qiongzhou have been repaired early and are continuously maintained according to the normal level. The prefectural and county offices in the two places have long formed a habit, and in Shaozhou Prefecture, at this stage, the main

The Ming army relied on the convenience of the Beijiang waterway to transport military supplies and personnel. In addition, the Qing army also paid more attention to ensuring transportation with southern Jiangxi. There was no need to rush when arriving at Chen Kai.

.

The official roads of Huizhou Prefecture and Guangzhou City are in disrepair, which undoubtedly affects the land transportation of the two prefectures. Sea transportation and river transportation are the mainstream in Guangdong, but land transportation is also indispensable, especially when controlling such a large area.

, it is even more necessary for materials to flow, so as to accelerate economic prosperity.

"Anyway, the scapegoats are all those officials in the imperial court. I guess they won't hide anything. Once the official channels are repaired, they will be maintained at all times like Chaozhou and Qiongzhou."

enough."

Official roads are like this, and the inns along the way also need to be re-arranged. There is a saying that the territorial size of a country, especially the size of its directly controlled area, has always been affected by traffic - Government Orders

The speed of communication, the speed of troop mobilization, etc. Official roads and post stations are extremely important to the government. Chen Kai has always paid special attention to it because he has witnessed with his own eyes the disintegration of grassroots rule in Chaozhou.

As a result, it took a lot of time to finally put the mansion back into one piece, and then restore it to its fragmented state.

Looking back on Chaozhou back then, each incident is as clear as yesterday. When the local tyrants were divided, not only were government orders unable to leave the county gate, but the flow of materials was also subject to endless interference. Han Jiangzhi

In Guangjiqiao City, the contrast between its current ruin and its current prosperity is so obvious. Even when Chen Kai set up a scheme to outwit Chaozhou, he did so on the pretext that local tyrants would threaten the transportation of grain to Fujian.

The main town government, and then have the opportunity to kill Che Renzhong in one fell swoop.

"At this stage, Guangzhou's silk, fragrant wood, Chaozhou tobacco, tin ware, Chaozhou blue cloth, Chaozhou porcelain, sugar products, grain, Qiongzhou's spices, giant trees, cotton, coconut, betel nut, and specialties from various places are known to the Zheng Group

The sea trade ability of the country can absorb a lot. In addition to other maritime merchants, the provinces and other provinces can also absorb a lot. These are only wealth if they are mobilized. Otherwise, just a single prefecture and county will not be able to absorb a lot.

It can only lead to a shrinking of production scale."

His fingers tapped the table rhythmically, as if he was calculating one by one how many places he needed to think of and put into practice. After a long time, Chen Kai turned over the note book and thought about each one, with an expression on his face.

The change happened in an instant. It wasn't until I saw a sign that said "Guangdong Manufacturing Bureau Foshan Machinery Manufacturing Branch" that I thought for a moment that I finally made a decision.
