Ordinary clear day

Chapter 15
Tong said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. I don't know where Mr. Qin married this lady. She has no experience and trained her two daughters to look like wooden figures. She can't move her feet and can't speak. Mrs. Qin still Praise that they have heaven and earth, the girl of the Su family can't see the children, she gets annoyed after saying a few words to her, and tramples on other people's daughter behind her back. Mrs. Su was also pissed off by her, and told us not to Take care of her."

Zhang Baodao: "That's how it is. Master Qin is really pitiful. I heard that he is having a hard time at home. He slept in the study for a whole month because of taking concubines. He didn't even have any spare money. Everyone went out to socialize and take turns to be hosts. Only he eats for nothing and is secretly teased by others, and now his wife is still embarrassing him in front of everyone, I'm afraid this joke will spread throughout the city tomorrow."

"Isn't it? Fortunately, she still has the face to say that her daughter is virtuous and virtuous. She is a good mother who taught her well." Tong remembered something, and asked: "I heard people talking about it during the dinner. Did you talk about it?" Our Shuning, what's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Mr. Fu Yin said that I did a good job in managing paperwork. Because I said that I got the inspiration from my daughter's way of tidying up the study, my lord praised me for having a good daughter. Even Duanning was called to check For his studies, Mr. Fu Yin praised him a lot."

"That's how it is. No wonder we heard that Mr. Fu Yin praised the two children in the inner room. It's ridiculous that Mrs. Qin was not happy to hear it, and she specially asked someone to call Mr. Qin over, asking him to praise his son and daughter in front of Mr. Fu Yin. Woolen cloth."

Zhang Bao's eyes widened: "So that's why Mr. Qin left the banquet halfway? I saw his face turned pale when he returned to his seat, and I thought it was because he was unhappy. It's really pitiful that he married such a wife." He changed With an affectionate look, she looked straight at Tong Shi: "I'm so lucky to have such a virtuous wife." Tong Shi spat at him, sat in front of the dressing table with a blushing face, and took off the clothes to go out to meet guests. hairpin jewelry.

Seeing that his wife ignored him, Zhang Bao sat down to drink tea and said, "Oh, speaking of our banquet outside, I heard something new." Then he stopped talking.

Tong couldn't hear the following, so she urged him: "What's new? Tell me quickly!"

But he suddenly changed the subject: "I don't know what to eat tonight? It would be great if there were small yellow croakers. The stewed radish with pork belly and small yellow croakers at the banquet today is really delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat more. I let Su Dabeard pick it up " Zuo Ling Su Chun'a has always been famous for his beard, so he is called "Su Da Beard".

Tong smiled angrily: "If you want to eat, just say it, what good food is worth it? It's late today, and I'll ask people to buy meat and fish early tomorrow morning, okay? Hurry up Speaking of which, don’t make people lose their appetite.”

Zhang Bao suddenly smiled: "I'm still a good wife who knows my heart. Today, Su Da beard and his family are the last to come. I heard that there are too many carriages on the street, blocking the road, and they can't get through. As a result, his eldest lady got angry. She raised her whip and beat the carriage driver blocking the way a few times, frightened him to get out of the way, and his carriage passed. Unexpectedly, among the people affected by her whip was the brother-in-law of the Prince Xian, who was about to get angry When I saw Miss Su's beauty, I lost my soul. I chased after him to the gate of Qiushuizhuang, and even dragged the gatekeeper to inquire about the girl's background. She was beaten away as a disciple. Later, the housekeeper of Prince Xian's mansion came Only after asking, did he find out his identity. He took the opportunity to go to the racecourse to pester the eldest lady, and made her angry, and was beaten again."

Tong listened and laughed all the way, but she was a little surprised: "This girl is so courageous, people from the prince's mansion dare to fight?" Zhang Bao explained to her: "Su's wife's family is the nobleman of the Horqin prince. , and the empress dowager's natal family is still related, and his girls are famous for being powerful. Prince Xian's mansion is no more confident than in the past, let alone such a trivial matter, they are not easy to make a big deal."

Tong Shi nodded and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there are indeed many carriages on the street. When we went out today, we were also blocked in the city."

Zhang Bao sighed: "I know that too, but it's just that we can't let someone use a carriage, right? There are more horses and fewer cattle outside the customs, and even farmers use horse-drawn plows for farming. During the holidays, everyone drives a horse-drawn carriage to the city. Playing with the goods. When the autumn harvest is due, there are so many carriages on the street, and people can’t leave. When the weather gets colder, I’m afraid it’ll be fine.”

"Isn't there a good way to manage all these carriages? Not to mention how inconvenient it is to have too many carriages blocking the road, even people who don't ride carriages are bumped by carriages on the road, which is also troublesome. "

"Why don't I know the reason? Mr. Fu Yin has been bothering about this matter for several days. Several people under us are talking about this matter."

Shu Ning had been listening outside the door for a while, but she knew the solution to this matter from online novels, so she called "Ama, Er Niang" and got permission from her parents before she could enter the door.

She greeted her parents, and said: "Just now my daughter heard Ama talking about this difficult matter outside the door. My daughter has an idea, but I just don't know how to make it."

Zhang Baosu knew that his youngest daughter was smart, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Quickly tell me, if it works, Ama will make another contribution."

Shu Ning then explained to him in detail how to handle the carriages and carriages: "First, set up a carriage parking place outside the city, and no carriages outside the city are allowed to enter the city; those who cannot walk after entering the city will arrange them at the gate of the city." Some large carriages, or the back seats of the carriages are lengthened, which can accommodate many people. These carriages drive in the city on a fixed route every day, and they will stay at a fixed place for a while. Wherever people want to go, they only need to take the corresponding As for the carriages of people in the city, let each family report to the Yamen, register all the vehicles, number them, and only let the cars with numbers drive in the city. Ama thinks this method Can it be made?"

Zhang Bao thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "It's not impossible to do it, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot, and the carriages outside the city must be guarded. What route does the large carriages in the city follow, and how often does one come? How to let people know which car is going where, all these trivial matters must be clearly assigned, it is too much trouble."

"Actually, it's not troublesome. If you need someone to guard and feed the horses at the carriage park outside the city, you might as well charge one or two coppers for each carriage every few hours. People with carriages can still afford the cost of this idea, and there are people They also feel at ease taking care of the horses, and they don’t have to worry about the horse manure getting everywhere in the city. The route of the big carriage is based on the place where many people go, and it is decided after discussion in the yamen, at least every half an hour. If there are too many people, one every quarter will do. Open a few more routes, compile a brochure of which routes go where, and let the coachman yell a few more times to let people know. And these carriages are also You can charge a small fee, one copper coin is enough, and you can help make up for some expenses. As for the detailed arrangements, my daughter is young and ignorant, and there are many smart people in the yamen, who will always think of a perfect way."

Zhang Bao listened all the way and nodded all the way, and at the end, he smiled: "No matter how smart people are in the yamen, no one can compare with my daughter. Look at how this brain grows? I can think of such a way." ?" He reached out to touch his daughter's head, but Shuning hurriedly dodged it: "Ama, don't mess with my hair, last time you touched my head, you almost turned me into a crazy woman." She hid behind her mother. Behind his back, he made a face at his father.Tong laughed and scolded: "What the hell is this? Crazy."

"Haha, okay, okay, I don't touch it, such a smart daughter, if she becomes a crazy woman, it will be terrible." The more Zhang Bao thought about it, the more his daughter's method was feasible. Not only could it solve the problem of crowded carriages, but it would also open up a new way As for the source of income, Mr. Fu Yin will definitely accept it. As for how much to charge, the higher-ups will naturally decide.He was delighted to have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, hugged his daughter, and talked and laughed. Ermo called for dinner outside the door, and the three got up and went to the dining room.

While eating, Shu Ning remembered the troubles that she hadn't understood all the time, and while Zhang Bao was happy, she asked, "Ama, did no one in the yamen really think about the public carriage? Neither did Mr. Fu Yin." ?”

Zhang Bao replied with a smile: "Yes, no one thought of it, but you are the smartest."

"Ama..."

"Ok?"

"Is Mr. Fu Yin an old man?"

"Hahaha, do you think that the person who can't think of a good solution is an old man? Is Ama also an old man? Let me tell you, Mr. Fu Yin is only in his 40s, and he is in his prime, and he is still far away from becoming an old man."

Isn't it Old Man Fei?Shu Ning asked again: "What's the name of Mr. Fu Yin?"

"Why did this child become curious about Mr. Fu Yin today? Tell you, your name is Yu Heng, and he is also from our noble family in Manzhou. What else do you want to ask?"

Yuheng? !If she remembers correctly, this man was old man Fei's predecessor in "Boiling the Qing Dynasty", and later he was transferred to be the Governor of Shuntian, so he is quite capable.If it was him, it's no wonder he couldn't think of a way to take the bus.To be on the safe side, she decided to ask more carefully.

"Ama, the errand you did earlier was the return of Jingqi to the village. Is this Master Yuheng in charge? Was he also the one who suggested it to the emperor?"

Before Zhang Bao could answer, Duan Ning raised his hand and rushed to say, "I know this, sir, I just talked about it last month."

Zhang Bao and Yan Ying agreed: "Tell me and listen. If there are any omissions, Ama will make up for you."

Shuning also listened carefully to what he said.

"In the 18th year of Kangxi, the rebellion of San Francisco was quelled, and the Manchu dynasty was in Daqing. Chen Liangben, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, wrote a letter. He felt that it was not easy to prepare military rations in the war of quelling the chaos. He proposed to open up new fields outside the pass and return the children of the Beijing flag to the outside of the pass. Firstly, it can increase the grain fields, and secondly, practice riding and shooting during the slack season, so that the children of the Eight Banners will not lose their ancestors' glory in the past because of being idle. With the assistance of the people, the clan mansion and the commanders of the banners are responsible for selecting the children to return to the village, and it took less than two months to start the process of returning to the village."
