The father and daughter left Xianyang City and walked on the country road, watching the bustle of the autumn harvest.
The bustling scene outside made Zhao Qingrui feel full of energy and wanted to go back and review government affairs more diligently.
If he saw something of interest, Ying Zheng would stop and carefully ask the people in the fields.
"My fellow villager, have you ever raised fish in your rice fields?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
Ever since my daughter promoted fish farming in rice fields, there are still many people doing this. Thanks to these fish, the price of fish in the Daqin market has dropped a lot.
"That's not true, but fish are not easy to sell now. We didn't raise many fish this year, and most of them were eaten by our own family." Speaking of this, the old man sighed.
However, the ease and comfort between his brows could not be faked. Qianshou's life had been much better in recent years. At his age, he lived a very comfortable life, which was something he had never dared to imagine before.
"The young man must be from a wealthy family." The old man looked at Ying Zheng curiously.
"Fortunately, there is some spare money at home." It was the first time that Ying Zheng was called a young man, and he felt a little embarrassed.
However, he does look quite young now, probably in his twenties or thirties, which is his peak condition.
His current strength is still strong enough, and he can live longer.
"Why did you decide to come to the countryside? It's quite dusty." The old man laughed cheerfully.
"Come and take a look. My daughter is at home all year round. It's the autumn harvest time, so come out and have a look to broaden your horizons." Ying Zheng looked at the plump ears of wheat and felt very happy. With so much grain, after paying taxes, the people would still have a lot left. They should be able to store some grain every year.
In this way, even if we encounter a disaster year, we don’t have to be afraid, because we have food in our hands and we won’t panic.
"Is this your daughter?" The old man was stunned. He thought they were a couple or siblings.
"Of course not. I look young. Although my daughter is young, she is very capable." Ying Zheng unconsciously showed off his daughter.
The old man looked at Zhao Qingrui and felt emotional. Look at his demeanor. This is not something an ordinary family can cultivate. He will have to pay more attention to his grandchildren in the future and let them read more books.
Only by reading more can you change your situation and live a good life.
Despite the bombardment of various newspapers in recent years, the Daqin Daily, Weekly and Monthly Newspapers are still the most popular newspapers among the common people. They contain various policies of the court. Knowing these things, they don't have to worry about being fooled by the officials.
From these newspapers, he also learned one thing: the imperial court attached great importance to studying, and only by studying and taking exams could the people have a fair opportunity.
Your Majesty attaches great importance to this, and this is also an opportunity for them to change their lives, so the people all attach great importance to it.
Of course, the most important thing is that the school’s various scholarships are very attractive, especially for students from poor families.
Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng with an indescribable expression. She was afraid that her father’s love of showing off would never change.
However, Zhao Qingrui was still very happy to see his father living such a lively life.
The current Ying Zheng is not the one who is almost deified in history books. A person should live such a vivid life.
"You are so amazing." The old man looked at Ying Zheng with admiration. Ying Zheng looked like he was only in his twenties or thirties, but he actually had such a big daughter.
Do all the rich take such good care of themselves? I am really envious.
"That's right. It seems that your fellow villagers are living a good life at home. Why are you the only one working in the fields? Where are your children?" Ying Zheng sat happily on the stone next to him. There happened to be a big banyan tree next to him, blocking the sun.
"My two sons have gone to work in the factory. There are only my wife and I at home. My wife has gone back to cook now." When talking about this, the old man's face was full of pride.
It is not easy to get a job in a factory nowadays. The fact that both of his sons were able to get in makes others very envious.
Also because both sons went to work in the factory, life at home became much better.
Then, the old man enthusiastically talked to Ying Zheng about his son's job and the benefits it provided.
Ying Zheng listened carefully. He knew a little about these things. He didn't care about the salary, but for the common people, these were definitely excellent treatments.
"My eldest son said that if we save money for a few more years, we can buy a bigger house." The old man was full of energy.
"This is a good thing. The old man is really blessed."
"Ahem, it's okay, but I don't know if I can still see that day." The old man said with some reserve.
"Of course he will. The old man looks healthy, so he will definitely see it." Ying Zheng smiled. That's great. He looked at his daughter beside him with satisfaction. She is worthy of being his designated heir.
"Are you thirsty, old man? Have some water." Zhao Qingrui handed him the water.
This thermos contains iced water. In this hot weather, after taking a sip, I feel like I’m cooled down all over.
"Young man, you are so lucky. Your daughter is so filial." The old man also took a big sip from the water bag on his waist.
The two chatted casually, and Zhao Qingrui also learned a lot of useful information from the old man.
For example, among the village head and county magistrate here, which one is truly working for the Qin Dynasty?
Who is secretly enriching himself and who has some backing behind him.
Another thing is which policies of the court have been implemented?
Listening to these things, Zhao Qingrui nodded secretly. Most of the officials did not have any big problems, especially since this place was close to Xianyang. Those officials did not dare to do things that would exploit the local people in a big way.
