Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 233 Back
"Wenxuan and Wenchang told me that the two of them are too bored to study at home now, and want to find a place to practice. You know that I am with the emperor, and I can't arrange for them two. I think it's better to go with you. , just let them follow Zixuan's side, and hone it. Waiting for next autumn, let the two of them participate in Qiuwei. I wrote to Zixuan about this before, and he said yes, you see How is it?" Wen Han wanted to talk about this matter.

Wenxuan was also admitted as a scholar last year, and studied in the county school with Wenchang. It happened that Wenhan's father-in-law was teaching them.Mr. Zheng said that the two of them are still young, so it is not appropriate to go to the autumn chamber too early.Even if you pass the exam, you may not be able to pass Chunwei.It's better to study steadily for a few years, and then take the scientific examination.It is best to go out and experience some experience, which will be good for the future.

After hearing this, Jinghan nodded quickly, "That's great, just because I'm still worried that no one will help Zixuan. Brother, I don't know, but the east of the town is said to be a county, but it can actually catch up with a state university. There is simply not enough manpower in the yamen. It is time for Wenxuan and Wenxuan to learn these things, even if they don’t take the imperial examination, it will be useful if they learn it.” Now that Zixuan agreed, he was of course happier.The two younger brothers were able to go there, presumably they could help Zixuan share a lot.

"However, there is one thing. When you go there, you will only be provided with board and lodging, and there will be no salary." Jinghan looked at the two younger brothers with a smile, and joked.

"As long as the second sister is willing to give us a chance, we don't want salary or anything." The two almost jumped up happily.

"When I went to your second sister's place, be more prudent. The affairs in the yamen are not trivial matters. Don't cause trouble for Zixuan, do you understand?" Wen Han urged a few more words.

Wenchang and Wenchang quickly agreed, and the matter was considered settled.

After a busy day, everyone was tired, so they went back to rest.

The next day, Ming Yu sent someone early to pick up Xu's family members and go to the palace. Naturally, everyone had a lot of fun in the palace.On May 28, Mingyu accompanied Jingxian back home. Jingxian was married from Wenhan's family, so she should naturally return to Wenhan's home.

During lunch, the old man told the young couple that he was going to leave.Mingyu and Jingxian kept trying to persuade them to stay, but the old man had already made up his mind, so Mingyu had no choice but to agree.

So, on the 29th, the group set off from the capital again and headed northeast.Jinghan led Wenxuan and Wenchang, separated from Zhixin and the others in Shenzhou, and then headed north all the way to the east of Zhendong.By the time we returned to Zhendong, it was already June thirteenth.

As soon as he entered the county seat, Changshun hurried back to his residence to report the news.As soon as Zixuan heard that Jinghan was back, he threw down the pen in his hand excitedly, and walked out.

Before Zixuan reached the street in front of the Yamen, he saw a long line of carriages, which had already stopped in front of him.The carriage in the middle was taken by Jing Han, and Zixuan knew him of course, so he went straight to the carriage.

Just when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Chuntao jumped out of the carriage and helped Jinghan get out of the carriage.On the other carriage next to her, Qian Shi also got off the carriage holding Qingyuan.

Zixuan took a step forward, regardless of so many people watching, he held Jinghan's hand directly, "Lady, you are back."

Jinghan blushed, "Zixuan, so many people are watching. Let's go in first, we'll talk later." Withdrawing her hand, she turned around and took Qingyuan from Qian Shi, "Come on, son , look at your father. We have been walking for so long, have we forgotten what your father looks like?"

Zixuan was also aware of his abruptness, and couldn't get it off his face, so he just stepped forward to tease his son, "Son, come, let Daddy hug you."

Maybe it's really the reason why we haven't seen each other for so long, but Qingyuan didn't want Zixuan to hug him, so he twisted his body to look for Jinghan, muttering, "Mother, mother."

Zixuan was a little pleasantly surprised to find that his son could call his mother. "Jinghan, did you hear that? My son actually called your mother."

"It's been eleven months in Qingyuan, and it's time to talk nonsense. He still doesn't understand what mother means, he's just calling out habitually. After two days, you'll get to know him better, and teach him slowly. , let him call you daddy." Jinghan smiled, the change of such a child is the fastest, not to mention, the father and son haven't seen each other for four months. "Let's go back to the mansion. It's tiring after walking this way."

"Okay." Zixuan supported Jinghan and was about to walk in.

"Second brother-in-law, and us, you only have my second sister in your eyes, and you didn't even notice us." Wenxuan and Wenchang came up and complained to Zixuan.

"Yo, Wenxuan, Wenchang, why are you two here?" Zixuan was a little surprised.

"Let's go in first and talk later, it's not easy to chat on the street." Jing Han was really tired, and just wanted to take a good rest.

So everyone hurried to the back and came to the courtyard where they lived.The maids and women in the family knew about it a long time ago, and they all came up to welcome him at this time.The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family stepped forward and said, "Hot water has been prepared for Madam, let's wash up first. The road is full of dust and dust, and washing will also relieve fatigue. The kitchen also ordered food to be prepared, and I will wash up later." Alright, let's have dinner."

Jinghan nodded, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and she was sweating all the way in the carriage, feeling so uncomfortable. "Okay, let's all go clean up. Let's have dinner together later."

By the time everyone packed up, it was midnight, and everyone had dinner together, and then went to rest.

Qingyuan has been weaned, so she doesn't have to follow Jinghan's side at night, so Qian took Qingyuan to her room early, leaving Jinghan and Zixuan alone.

Zixuan hugged Jinghan tightly, feeling more at ease in his heart. "Are you willing to come back? I thought you didn't want to come back."

When Jinghan heard Zixuan's resentful tone, she couldn't help laughing.Putting her arms around Zixuan's neck, she kissed him on the cheek, "Master, I miss you, don't you miss me?"

In the end, Zixuan kissed her red lips fiercely, "You will know after a while, whether I miss you or not."

Jinghan responded enthusiastically to Zixuan's kiss. After four months of separation, how can words clearly express the thoughts in her heart?On the contrary, it is better to prove everything than physical contact.

Zixuan bent down and picked up Jinghan, put her on the kang, and then kissed the long-missed red lips again. "You have to compensate me." Zixuan murmured.

Jinghan laughed softly, "Okay, I'll make it up to you, let's see who can't straighten up tomorrow. Mr. Xiang, take the trick."

The night is still long, and the lover who has been separated for a long time is dancing the most beautiful chapter of love on this refreshing summer night.

Jinghan, who returned to Zhendong, had a busy life.This year, the weaving workshop has negotiated a contract with several merchants in the south for the shipment of 100 bolts of woolen material.Now there are more than [-] looms and nearly [-] spinning machines in the weaving workshop.And there are still many people who take the materials home to spin, so the time is more casual, so there is no need to worry about the problem of not being able to supply the goods.However, Jinghan still decided to ask Guanshi Ding to get another fifty looms back to expand the scale.

In terms of raw materials, Changshun and the others have already found someone to sign a contract with a few people from Beiyuan Kingdom, asking them to collect the wool on their behalf, and then give these people a fee of three to five Wen per catty.You know, the Beiyuan Kingdom is a very large country, and basically all of them focus on raising cattle and sheep.Moreover, a sheep can shear wool several times a year, so there is no need to worry too much about raw materials.

Jinghan also knows that what she did can't be kept secret forever.Then it's best to take advantage of these two years, when others have not thought of it, to earn a little more, and earn a little more.By the time others figure out what's going on, they have already gained a firm foothold in the market.

"Boss Ding, there are still a lot of vacant houses in this place. Why don't you recruit more apprentices and let them study hard. After they learn it, we will install a few more looms. Anyway, the raw materials are not worrying now. The fabric I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sell it, so why not take this opportunity to scale it up. I estimate that next year at the latest, someone will rush to build the weaving workshop." Jinghan said to Ding after looking at the inventory of the weaving workshop. said the steward.

"Well, that's fine. If we can weave this thing, others can learn it too. We have to take advantage of the low price of raw materials now. It's best if we can press more raw materials. Waiting for someone to build a weaving workshop, I'm afraid The price of wool will go up in the future." Steward Ding is an expert, and he knows these things even more clearly.

"Okay, let's do this. If others come to build the weaving workshop, we can't say that we don't want them to build it. It's just a fair competition at that time. But we must win over these female workers in our weaving workshop, as long as they are not If they are dug away, basically there will be no big problems. The newly built weaving workshops must train workers. Let’s double the wages of these female workers. At this price, I’m afraid they can support a family every month. It's enough." Jinghan is not afraid of spending money, but she is afraid that her experienced hands will be poached.

When Guanshi Ding heard this, he said. "Ma'am, isn't this salary too high? It used to be one tael a month, which can actually support a large family. If it's raised to two taels now, it's a bit high. A man works for a month. I can’t earn two taels of silver, let alone some female workers.” The life in this place is already poor, and one tael of silver can be used by a large family for a long time.

"If the wages are paid according to Madam, it is estimated that these female workers will be confessed by the family as their ancestors when they go home." Guanshi Ding joked.

"That's good, let them see that women can earn money, and men don't need to earn less. Let's do it this way, people come to our weaving workshop, work for us sincerely, and pay more wages , normal." Jinghan looked at Guanshi Ding, "In addition, the wages of the masters from Yue's family are doubled, and Guanshi Ding's wages are also doubled." To make people settle down, they must be able to earn money .
