Chapter 755 Chapter 757. Courtiers
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Madam Gu," Wu Houshi knew that some things could not be concealed at all, so she admitted it openly, "My current sister-in-law from my natal family is still a little confused, and I'm afraid that the child will be wronged by her, so I took the responsibility.
Madam Gu, please rest assured. I will teach Tianer all the housekeeping stuff in the inner palace without reservation.
Fortunately, the child is quite hardworking and learns quickly. Now she can help me manage the affairs of the mansion."
As for those who were disobedient in the mansion, they dared not say much under his suppression.
Those two dishonest concubines had made a scene in front of the master before, but what happened? They were suppressed by me.
"That's good," Jin Qianqian nodded with a smile, "But girls still need to be more lively, so don't push her too hard. Some things can be learned slowly."
"I knew that you, Madam Gu, loved that girl. It's true that sooner or later, we'll be family members, and your heart will be biased." Wu Houshi said jokingly, "In the future, our Tian'er will have a sister-in-law like you to take care of him, and we won't have to worry."
"It's just a good thing that you came here today. I have something else to discuss with you." Jin Qianqian thought of what Gu Wenheng had talked about with Gu Yi during the New Year.
"We are so familiar with each other, just tell me what you want to say."
Jin Qianqian, "I asked the master to look at the dates before. There were two auspicious dates that were quite far apart. One was the day before the beginning of summer, and the other was in the winter month."
Jin Qianqian looked at Wu Houshi, "You are the child's biological aunt. I will tell you here that I will go to the Hou family to deliver the date in two days. You can also help to consider it."
"What does Madam Gu mean?" Mrs. Wu Hou knew there must be a difference, so she asked.
Jin Qianqian, “It was a bit rushed before the beginning of summer, and Gu Yi immediately had to return to Daocheng Mansion for the test.
If Dongyue..."
Jin Qianqian didn't say it clearly, but Wu Houshi also understood that if there was another scholar, the marriage would be much better.
Although she was looking forward to the future, she really couldn't make the decision on this matter. "As an aunt, I can only hint at it from the sidelines, but I think my brother will have an idea."
Jin Qianqian was not surprised by her answer, "It's supposed to be like this, it's just that we are quite familiar with each other, so I said a few extra words to you.
I hope they can live a happy and fulfilling life in the future.”
"With your auspicious blessing, their future life will be good." Mrs. Wu Hou really valued this marriage more and more.
Although Mrs. Gu handed over the soap business to her brother, several dowry shops under her also made a profit.
Another reason is that the Wu family is tied tightly to Gu Wenheng's ship, so they cannot escape the evaluation in the next few years.
Those people who said sour words to me before, who knows how they are envious of me now behind my back.
It’s a pity that they seemed to want to arrange another marriage at this moment, but Lord Gu refused.
They said that their nephews are still young and need more training, so we can consider it again in a few years.
&
The days passed slowly as Gu Wenheng was busy.
In less than a year, the entire Yi Province has added millions of acres of rice fields, and the number is still increasing.
The land is the life of the people. Gu Wenheng simply relaxed the regulations a little bit, and the local people rushed to increase their land.
Land is the lifeblood of the people, and the government is now very efficient. As long as they reclaim the land, the contract will be signed quickly.
The first three years are tax-free, and the harvest from the land during these three years is enough to improve their lives. Even if any unexpected changes occur in the future, they will not be afraid.
Now that life has become hopeful, ordinary people will no longer cling to their copper coins. When they go out on the street, they will buy a piece of cloth or something for their children or elderly.
This is a virtuous cycle, and the entire province is slowly becoming full of vitality.
The changes are subtle, but when added up, they are so obvious.
Hua Shunming took the memorial sent by Yisheng and said "good" several times.
"This is the official the people need," Hua Shunming handed the memorial to Le San and asked the ministers to read it.
"Look, you guys are always making speeches in the court, but what I need are officials who can get things done."
Hua Shunming's regime is becoming more and more stable, and he is becoming more rude when dealing with these old ministers.
"They keep asking me to allocate funds to various places. As long as they can do this, as long as they dare to issue a military order, I will open my private treasury."
All the officials below looked around and their faces turned pale.
This Gu Wenheng is really capable. If he continues like this, by the time his term is over, I don't know how many levels he will be promoted to.
The only one who breathed a sigh of relief was Zhou Shicong from the Ministry of Revenue. Gu Wenheng had made such a great contribution, the departments under him that had asked him for funding should shut up now.
You can ask for money, but you can ensure that you reach that level.
Hua Shunming, "In just less than a year, your Excellency Gu has added so much fertile land to my kingdom.
If there were more officials like Gu Aiqing, there would be no need to worry about the prosperity of the country. "
This was the emperor's greatest compliment to his officials. Even if the officials below were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak at this moment.
"Who said before that I should also allocate funds to some places? Come out and listen now. If I can get such a result by giving the same amount of money, then I will agree."
All the officials below, "..."
The eunuchs and palace maids beside him said, "..."
Even people like them at the bottom of society know that this cannot be replicated, and His Majesty is making things difficult for them again.
What made them even more angry was that they couldn't find any words to refute, nor did they have the courage to take full responsibility.
Hua Shunming was sitting on the dragon throne at this moment, calculating in his mind how long it would take for Gu Wenheng to finish his term. What position should he be placed in this time?
Gu Wenheng, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly felt his back tighten. He stood up and stretched his limbs. "It seems that I really need to exercise."
Shangjing Wu'an Marquis Mansion
Marquis Wu'an, who had been bedridden for a long time, passed away on the second day after Bai Jinglie returned to the capital.
Everyone who received the news of the tragedy felt mixed emotions.
"Although this old Marquis Wu'an is always very picky about his eldest son, he is still holding his last breath and waiting for the prince to come back before he swallows it."
Xiao Liwei sighed, and then continued, "Why did so many things happen before?"
Cao Xiangqian, "..."
Yu Ligao, "Why did we hear a different version? Didn't they say that Master Bai came back and pissed people off?
Where did you hear this talk about a loving father and a filial son? "
Xiao Liwei, "Ah, isn't that so? Many people are talking about this. The Bai prince was so filial that he rushed back from Lucheng day and night, so that he could see Lord Bai for the last time."
