Chapter 1492

Zhou Shuren has not had a lucky day for a long time, and he has been busy with too many things recently.

Master Yu is very clear, he and his wife have written down the most recent auspicious days, "The most recent auspicious days are seven days later, and this month's auspicious days will be gone."

Zhou Shuren will understand the mind of adults. This person does not mention other auspicious days, but only the most recent ones. He wants to get married quickly. The private orphanage has quite a few complaints, and they have attacked Ben Hou one after another, there are too many people waiting to see Ben Hou's jokes to make things worse, are you sure you want to get married?"

Lord Yu can see it clearly, but he trusts Zhou Hou, and continues to attack Zhou Hou, and the winner is Zhou Hou, "I am sure."

Zhou Shuren stopped and looked straight into Lord Yu's eyes, "This Marquis hates the person who stabs the knife in the back the most. If someone betrays Ben Hou, Ben Hou will make the other party die a miserable death. Do you understand?"

Master Yu was stunned. It was the first time he heard Zhou Hou speak so seriously and harshly. Zhou Hou was always smiling, and his heart trembled. He had seen how much Zhou Hou held grudges, so he calmed down, "Your Majesty understands. , The officer thinks very clearly."

On Zhou Shuren's serious face, a smile gradually climbed up, "Then seven days later, Ben Hou thinks seven days later will be good."

Master Yu exhaled and stood up straight, "The next official will send someone back to tell the lady when he leaves the palace, and he will definitely prepare properly."

Zhou Shuren nodded, turned around and continued walking, and said casually: "Your business department is short of people."

Master Yu sighed, "There is indeed a shortage of people."

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "The household department is also short of people!"

At the beginning, the Ministry of Commerce came from the household department, and now many of the backbone of the Ministry of Commerce are officials from the former household department.

Master Yu didn't understand, "What does Lord Hou mean?"

Zhou Shuren lowered his head and said: "Actually, we can train some people, and it would be good to select them from the candidates. What do you think?"

Master Yu understood this time, Master Hou wanted the Ministry of Commerce to speak up. The Ministry of Commerce is indeed short of people, and the yamen of all states are not fully staffed. "Your official will take note."

Zhou Shuren didn't speak again, and after talking for a while, his stomach was filled with wind, and his stomach felt a little cold.

Zhou Shuren wanted to find jobs for the Wen family's faction, and at the same time select some talents. Some people failed the exam because they were incompetent.

Now the ministries have broken down the errands. In fact, all the ministries are short of people, but the household department is even more short.

Moreover, now that the grasslands are divided into states, a large number of grassroots officials are also needed. His move will serve multiple purposes.

Zhou's family, Zhulan is going out of the city to visit Zhuangzi in person, and Mrs. Li must bring it with her. To her surprise,

Yuwen is going too.

The whole family looked at Yuwen in surprise, and Yuwen blushed.

Zhulan said: "It's rare to see you so diligent."

Yuwen felt that she had found her goal. She was born at the end point that her grandma said. She has a family background and money. .”

Zhulan was very happy that Yuwen was interested in the orphanage, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Yudie and Yuyi also spoke, Zhulan didn't plan to bring several granddaughters, one was enough, and her granddaughter helped her in the back, when she didn't establish a complete system, didn't get recognized, she didn't I will ask my granddaughter to help me out.

Bringing a granddaughter now can be understood as worrying about taking care of her. If you bring too many, it will inevitably make people think too much.

The queen gave some considerations to the Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi is not far from the capital. It takes an hour and a half to get there after leaving the city. The person in charge of Zhuangzi's construction is Steward Wang.

When Zhulan got off the carriage, she saw busy people, "Have you hired a lot of people?"

Steward Wang replied, "The strong laborers from the two nearby villages have come, and they are all here for food."

Nowadays, part-time workers are rarely paid with food, Zhulan pays with food, and there is still a meal at noon, so they all come.

Zhulan pointed to the person squatting in the distance, "What's going on?"

Wang Guanjia said: "Zhuangzi settles with grain, and now every household is short of grain, those who have not worked, wait for the opportunity!"

Mrs. Li said, "Didn't you say that the people near the capital have some food?"

Steward Wang explained, "It is true that there is some foundation, but the grain merchants can't stand up to raising prices again and again, and they have more or less sold some grain."

Mrs. Li exhaled, and could still see the white mist, "It's really cold here."

Steward Wang does not understand the suffering of the common people. He is the housekeeper awarded by the emperor to the Zhou family. Originally, the Zhou family had a low official position, but now it is the Marquis's mansion. He feels like he is dreaming all these years, and his life is getting better. Although he is not a big butler, he is very respectable in the capital.

If the old lady didn't let him take care of things before the son came back, he wouldn't even have to suffer.

The orphans started to be taken in yesterday, and there are already 15 orphans. Zhulan checked the progress of the building first, and then went to see the children.

Steward Wang said all the way: "A few children came here by themselves when they heard the news. The older ones wanted to help build the house, but the younger ones didn't let them. These children are only skinny."

These children have thin arms and legs, and he is afraid that the children will have accidents.

When Zhulan saw the children, the children were helping the peasant woman to wash sweet potatoes and prepare to make lunch. When the manager wanted to speak, Zhulan stopped her, "I'll just take a look."

The children stood up quickly when they saw her. Zhulan was already wearing very low-key clothes when she went out, but no matter how low-key the materials of the clothes were, this was the difference in grades, and the children were afraid.

The dozen or so children were indeed very thin, not tall, and severely lacked in nutrition. The oldest was about ten years old, and the youngest was about seven years old. On the contrary, there were not many girls and more boys.

Zhulan's heart is heavy. In ancient times, children were prone to die young, and young orphans had only one way to die. Girls were even more vulnerable, but those who survived had perseverance, which made her feel better.

When Zhulan donated supplies, she donated a lot of fish. The family has a fish farm, and the fish are stored in the ice cellar. Now that the weather is not cold, I donate more. "Let's add an extra fish soup for lunch today."

The children need supplements. Fish soup is the only meat. There is a shortage of meat in the market. There is no meat in the donated supplies.

Because an extra fish soup was added today, everyone was happy.

Zhulan took a closer look at Zhuangzi and was satisfied with Steward Wang's ability to handle affairs, so she returned after a short stay.

Back home, Butler Ding was waiting at the door, and said with a happy face, "Master Liu just sent a deer and a sheep."

Zhulan was happy, "Good guy, a rare good thing."

Butler Ding said: "Second Master Liu went hunting today, he hunted two deer, and specially sent one over. The sheep are raised by the Liu Family Village, and said that Miss San likes to eat mutton, so he specially chose the fattest one. "

Zhulan paused, "I'm interested."

Butler Ding was very happy. Every time the second son Liu came to the house, the second master would mention how King Qin respected Lord Hou. Picking, it's really kind to Miss San.
