Qing imperial concubine spoiled

Chapter 391
Fourth master paused and got into the carriage. He sat on the side with a patient expression on his stomach.

Seeing this, Lin Wan immediately couldn't care less about being sad. She turned to look at Fourth Master's expression and asked in concern, "Is your stomach upset again?"

Fourth master used to have occasional stomach pains, but the imperial doctor has treated him well?

"Well, I'll be fine after a break."

"The concubine brought a righteousness pill, please take one quickly."

The Zhengqi Pill can relieve stomach pain and help digestion, and Lin Wan carries it everywhere.

After taking the pill, Fourth Master lay down to rest, with his head resting on Lin Wan's lap.

"I'll be fine after sleeping for a while, my concubine will be with you." Lin Wan gently pressed fourth master's temple.

Seeing that little Gege no longer thought about what happened just now, fourth master really fell asleep slowly after being pressed comfortably by little Gege. He was too tired from the busy days these days.

Just like that, Lin Wan leaned to the side and slowly fell asleep.

In order to save time, fourth master traveled non-stop along the way. If he was really tired, he would order the people to rest where they were.

The weather at the end of May is hot, and the further south you go, the hotter and humid the weather is, which makes many people who have never been to the south very uncomfortable.

This is also the first time Fourth Master has entered Zhejiang, and he himself is afraid of the heat, so he doesn't want to move more because of the heat these few days.

Fortunately, Lin Wan brought a lot of thin clothes for the two of them, otherwise it would not be enough to change, and it would be inconvenient to buy on the way.

Other people are not so good, their clothes are always wet with sweat, and then they are covered with dry clothes and then sweat again, so they can only wear wet clothes, but fortunately, they are not afraid of catching cold in hot weather.

The team walked for another five or six days, and finally entered the coastal area in early June.

The fourth master lived in the mansion of Zhejiang Governor Jiang Zhaolin.Zhejiang governor Jiang Zhaolin was one of Kangxi's early recruits. This person made some achievements in governing the region, but he didn't have much political achievements in the past few years as governor of Zhejiang.

After the fourth master patrolled, he found that the people's livelihood in Zhejiang was pretty good, at least the people couldn't go hungry, but the coastal areas were relatively poor.

Fourth Master also found a strange thing. He saw many beggars during his inspection, and they didn't sound like locals.

After learning about it, I realized that most of these beggars came from Guangdong and Guangxi to beg for food.

"Long Live Lord, I use money and food from rich places to help the people along the coast every year, barely maintaining the people's life. Even these beggars, I also distribute relief food once a month."

The fourth master thought it was no wonder that Zhejiang could always procrastinate when paying taxes to the imperial court at the end of the year. This turned out to be the crux of the matter.

Fourth master has noticed in the past few days that Jiang's mansion is very simple, and some houses are even in disrepair.Jiang Zhaolin and his wife were also very simple in their clothes. After getting along, they knew that they were not cheating, and they became more and more satisfied with this Governor Jiang in their hearts.

"What do the coastal people do for a living?"

"Long live Lord Mingjian, the people along the coast are miserable! Only a few months every year can go fishing, not to mention earning a little, and the risk is still high. If there is a strong wind or pirates, it is basically impossible to return!
The people in Guangdong and Guangxi go hungry for a few months almost every year, and some of them can't bear it anymore, so they go to the nearby state capitals to beg. "

After all, the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment because the imperial court did not check it well, and there must be a way to solve it.

"Ai Qing cares about the common people, I am very relieved.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. It is said that it is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. If you want the Qing Dynasty to be strong, you must first let the people get rich. "

"Long Live Lord said that I think so.

Minister to death! "

Suddenly, Jiang Zhaolin's face darkened, as if preparing to be punished, he cupped his hands and said:

"In fact, most of the people along the coast lived well in the early years, but after the imperial court banned the sea and lost the important income from trading with neighboring countries, the people's life became worse day by day."
