Yunchui Empire, Guangxin County, Nanshu City.
Renfu.
Ren Xi looked around at the brand new mansion in front of him.
The house is not too big, with only three entrances, but the surrounding walls are unexpectedly high.
But when she came by car just now, she also discovered that ditches were dug around it, lotus ponds were opened, and other courtyards and pavilions were built.
Presumably when it is all completed, it will be no less than Li Hebai's General Mansion.
squeak.
The door to the flower hall opened.
Miao Dong and Jixiang helped Yingpan, who had a big belly, and walked away.
"When did Sixth Sister come?"
"Just arrived." Ren Xi stood up quickly, "Sister-in-law, sit down quickly."
"Is my little nephew a good boy?"
hehe.
Yingpan smiled and nodded, "Occasionally I'm a bit troublesome, but most of the time I'm pretty good."
"That's good," Ren Xi said with great insight, "The weather in Guangxin is so hot that even adults usually can't sit still. It's normal for my little nephew to be naughty occasionally."
"That would be the best." Yingpan breathed a sigh of relief.
It was now nearly late July, and she was already seven months pregnant.
Most of the work at hand was handed over to others, while I stayed at home and concentrated on raising my baby.
Fortunately, Guangxin County has no shortage of manpower for major matters, and all affairs are fairly organized.
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law chatted for a while, and then Yingpan asked, "Sixth sister is here this time. Do you need help from sister-in-law for anything?"
"It's nothing. Aren't I going to Xingji City next month to visit the bride? I'm going to see if my sister-in-law needs anything along the way."
Ren Xi married to Nanshu City when she was young, and it has been five years since then, and she has already given birth to two children.
It's just that there is a long distance between Guangxin and Xingji City. She has been married for so long but she has not officially returned to the Grand Master's Mansion to visit her.
This time I plan to take the two children back to the imperial capital to meet their grandfather.
"It turns out that five years have passed before I knew it." Ying Pan said with emotion, "Time flies so fast."
Back in Star City, she had attended Ren Xi's haircut ceremony on behalf of Ren Fei, and now he was the mother of two children.
After thinking about it, Yingwan wrote a letter, "Well, I'll ask Liu Mei to help my sister-in-law deliver the letter to General Xuanwu's Mansion in Xingji City."
whee.
Ren Xi smiled and waved her hand, "We are all one family, so what's the point of being polite?"
The aunt and sister-in-law chatted for a while longer before she left.
Yingpan turned to look at Miao Dong, "Sister Dong, it's time for the newspaper to be released in the second half of July. Are the contents ready?"
Miao Dong knew the importance of this matter and nodded solemnly.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry."
"I have carefully reviewed the contents of the newspaper. The headline on the front page is about the appointment of the imperial prince. The other contents are also fine."
"Veteran escorts have secretly sent the manuscript to major printing offices to ensure that the newspaper can be delivered on time before the end of the month."
"That's good." Yingpan nodded with satisfaction.
These printing stations were on the verge of bankruptcy before, so Yingpan sent people to buy them one by one, and then replaced them all with their own people.
At first, Yingpan was worried about the burden of buying something.
As a result, after a few months, I discovered that the sales volume of the newspaper was amazing.
Those printing spots were connected for almost 12 hours, but the work couldn't be completed.
If she hadn't been worried about revealing the source of the newspaper, she would have wanted the Gu family caravan to buy a few more.
As for the printing points, except for a few core characters, they were all Nanfeng slaves who were illiterate.
They neither know how to speak, nor do they understand what their jobs are. In order to eat, we can only work hard.
All in all, the printing service is pretty good.
As slaves of a defeated country, at least no one beat or killed them. If you work hard, you can still have food and clothing. Much stronger than most common people.
Yingpan stroked her belly, which had just been kicked a few times by her child, "What about the manuscript appointment? Is there any progress?"
This newspaper has several dedicated writers, such as the old master, Master Xianguang, and Huo Qing, the prince of Zhenguo.
Other methods of soliciting manuscripts are largely the same as the methods used by imperial censors to collect folklore.
That is, put a bamboo tube in an inconspicuous place, such as a small hole in a corner of a wall, which only some people know.
If a scholar or intellectual submits an article, the manuscript will be included.
Someone will pick it up at regular intervals.
If the manuscript they wrote is accepted, the manuscript fee will be sent to the owner's home in various ways.
"Before, the newspaper had a low reputation and no one submitted articles. Now the newspaper has become famous. We have received more articles. But most of them are nonsense and pornographic articles..."
Miao Dong, the little girl who had just grown her hair, blushed.
"But occasionally there are one or two articles that are eye-catching and well-founded. I picked them out and put them in the newspaper."
"I believe that as time goes by and the newspaper's recognition further increases, more famous writers and great scholars will contribute articles."
Of course, the premise is that the court recognizes the legitimacy of the newspaper, and there is no need to hide even submitting an article.
"Come on, there will be such a day." Yingpan said.
cut.
Ji Xiang next to him smiled, "Literary man? Great scholar?"
She doesn't recognize too many Chinese characters but not many.
Ever since she read the poems and poems left by her general, this maid has had her eyes set high above her head, and has no feelings for the so-called literary giants of the world.
Yingpan ignored her maid and continued to ask: "Where is Sister Hezhu?"
After all, the Li family was born in Guangxin and grew up in Guangxin, and they have deep roots here.
Yingpan is pregnant and knows nothing about farming.
Most of the guards in the house joined the Starfall Legion as soon as they reached adulthood. They are good at hunting and killing, but they also have a dark eye on farming.
So Ren Ning asked people to cultivate high-yielding seeds and expand food production, which almost all fell on Li Hezhu's shoulders.
The dignified girl from the General's Mansion was already twenty-five years old, and the matchmaker was almost on the threshold of the General's Mansion, but Li Hezhu was not married yet.
Maybe it was because of the broken jar, but she no longer cared about other people's strange looks and wandered around various large and small farms every day.
It is not to collect rent from tenant farmers, but to reduce rent for them, so that those old farmers who have cultivated the land all their lives can settle down in Guangxin with more peace of mind.
It’s just that the time required to cultivate seeds is usually measured in years, and there is no good result yet.
"Sister Hezhu..." Yingpan shook her head and asked about the situation of the trade route.
Now the entire North-South trade route is bustling with activity, almost packed with caravans and people coming and going.
In particular, the news that "Guangxin accepted the refugees and distributed the fields to the arriving refugees" spread. From time to time on the road south, we could see people with their families in ragged clothes.
They didn't know the road and couldn't distinguish between east, west, north and south, so they could only follow the caravan going south.
The officials around Xingji City were eager for these people to leave, lest the news of "a large number of refugees besieging Xingji City" spread into the palace, and Emperor Changxing would take advantage of their Wusha.
So as long as I heard that the refugees intended to go south to Guangxin County.
The county magistrates even happily helped them arrange road guides to make it easier and more convenient for these people to go south.
“With so many refugees coming, does Guangxin still lack manpower?” Yingpan asked.
"Sister-in-law, according to my brother's opinion, this manpower is far from enough." Miao Dong flipped through the work notebook in his hand, "In fact, we still have many, many jobs that no one is doing."
Yingpan nodded, "That said, starting from next month, let the Gu family caravan and the Ling family caravan also publicize the need for refugees in Laigu County when doing business."
"That's no problem." Miao Dong agreed.
The three of them talked about other things, until Yingpan showed a tired look, and Jixiang sent her back to the inner room to rest.
First latest.
