Chapter 1494

Three days later, Zhulan was arranging a new farm, but the Wen family didn't do anything wrong, leaving behind a house and less than 50 acres of land, and Zhulan planned to use this farm for breeding.

As soon as the arrangements were made, Steward Ding ran in, "Old Madam, Master Shizi and Mr. Minghui are back."

Zhulan stood up all of a sudden, "Oh, Changli hasn't written a letter for quite a while, I'm still thinking about it, hurry up, prepare some refreshments, they've worked hard all the way."

Butler Ding was busy making arrangements, and Mrs. Li had already rushed out.

Halfway through, Mrs. Li saw her son, and she shed tears, "Oh, my Minghui, why are you so skinny, I feel so sorry for my mother."

She doesn't think about her husband, but about raising her son pampered and growing up. His son has lost a lot of weight, and he has suffered a great crime at first glance.

Boss Zhou wished his wife would ignore him, because his son was ill, so he didn't dare to write to his family later, for fear of leaking the news.

Mrs. Li hugged her son tightly, and when she touched her son, the bones on his body were obvious, and he was thinner. This distressed her, "I will never go out with your father again, your father is a big hearted person, woo woo."

Minghui's eyes were also red, and he finally went home. He missed the delicious food at home and his soft pillow, "Mom, I want to take care of him, I want to take care of him for a while before going to the academy."

When Li Shi just wanted to agree, she got stuck, "I'll ask your grandma about this."

She never intervenes in the children's learning.

When Minghui heard this, his eyes became even redder, um, so grandma would feel more distressed, "I'll ask grandma."

Boss Zhou had already gone to the main courtyard first, Zhulan looked past her son, "Where's Minghui?"

What about her delicate grandson?

Boss Zhou, "."

All right, the family doesn't feel at ease if the son is too delicate.

Hearing grandma's voice, Minghui rushed into the room, "Grandma, I miss you."

Li choked up, "Mother, look at how thin Minghui has become, my daughter-in-law is so distressed."

When Zhulan touched it, the child had indeed lost a lot of weight, "Why is it so thin?"

Minghui sniffled, "Grandson is sick, grandma doesn't have to worry, grandson is already well."

Zhulan felt distressed, "Come back and make up for it."

Minghui lowered his head, "Grandma, I want to rest at home and go to the academy in a few days."

Zhulan raised her eyebrows, and nodded her grandson's forehead, "Okay, rest at home for ten days before going to the academy."

Minghui raised his head with a smile on his face,

"Thank you grandma."

Zhulan also laughed, this kid is enjoying himself, this time he suffered a big crime, "Sit down quickly, and tell grandma what you have seen and heard along the way."

Minghui sighed, "Accompanying my father on an errand this time, my grandson has seen too much darkness, especially darkness."

His family background is good, he has never been innocent, he knows the darkness, but the darkness at the bottom makes his heart feel heavier.

Zhulan patted Minghui's head, "Go out and grow up."

Minghui, "Yes."

Yudie and the others were also there, surrounding Minghui. They had seen a lot of darkness recently, and told what happened at home, Minghui was dumbfounded.

Boss Zhou was dumbfounded, "Mother, you really run a private orphanage as an errand?"

The smile on the corner of Zhulan's mouth was not reserved at all, "Well, don't be surprised."

Boss Zhou has to digest the news for a while, how long has he been away from home, mother is really amazing, "Mother, son is proud of you."

"Wait a few days after you recuperate and go to the private orphanage with your wife to see what needs to be improved."

Boss Zhou quickly waved his hands, "Mother, it should be my son who is going to study."

Zhulan said again: "Your father was still talking about you last night, you go to rest first, you will probably enter the palace tomorrow, the emperor is still waiting for your report!"

Boss Zhou snorted, "Report?"

"Of course you have to report when you come back from a business trip. What's so shocking about it? You write down what you see and feel in a notebook and use it when reporting."

Boss Zhou, "."

Zhulan looked at Minghui, "Don't help your father, your father is the future master, this is what he will go through sooner or later."

Minghui was caught by his grandmother and touched his nose, "Grandson won't help."

Boss Zhou, "."

Is he going to meet the emperor alone? Also report?

In the household department, Zhou Shuren looked at the roster, "So many prisoners?"

The prince nodded, "This is only in a few prefectures near the capital. The lack of food has caused instability. Last year, there was a war and many people took advantage of the chaos to seek wealth. The government arrested many people."

Zhou Shuren, "They are all good labor."

The crown prince sighed, "The law is used in the extraordinary period. According to the reports in the newspapers of various states recently, the number of criminals has increased significantly. The emperor's intention is to give a heavy sentence and kill some to make the people sober."

Zhou Shuren's heart is heavy, the land is vast, the information is inconvenient, the food production is not high, the children are born uninterrupted, ignorant thoughts, etc., he often feels powerless, and the change cannot be accomplished by himself.

"The root cause is food, and the people can't get enough to eat."

The prince has grown rapidly in the past two years, and when he sleeps, all he thinks about is food, "It would be great if the food can be produced at a high rate."

Zhou Shuren said, dreaming faster, "Fortunately, the rich fishery in the ocean has saved the lives of many people."

The prince's tone became lighter, "Yes, for better fishing, the fishing nets have also been improved."

Zhou Shuren also had a smile on his face. Sometimes people should be pushed. In order to catch better, the shipyard built special fishing boats and improved fishing nets.

Zhou Shuren said, "There are still clothes to keep out the cold, and the cotton production is not high, so we have to find a way."

He was shocked to see the number of people who froze to death last year, mostly the elderly and children.

The crown prince frowned again, "The land reclaimed is still mainly food."

Zhou Shuren felt that he was very powerful. He climbed to his current position and was able to advise the emperor. He has changed too much. If he hadn't controlled the market price, heh, the whole market would have been chaotic. He has a clear conscience.

The prince said again: "The envoys come to Beijing these days, asking for help and asking for food, all countries are having a hard time!"

Zhou Shuren has heard the emperor say it a few times, not only is it difficult, but he also imitated fish cakes. Unfortunately, the ship technology can't keep up, and he can't supply them. Instead, they have become exclusive delicacies for the rich and powerful.

Zhou Shuren also heard from the emperor that in several neighboring countries, the people of other countries crossed the border and wanted to settle there, but now they were stopped at the border.

Zhou Shuren didn't ask the crown prince what the emperor meant. The emperor had spoken to him several times and wanted to ask him if there was any way to do it. He didn't want to talk about it, but the crown prince mentioned it again today, and wanted him to say more.

Zhou Shuren had a sad face, "Yeah, the weather is not normal and it's hard to live. This year's spring plowing will be postponed again. The number of good seeds of the Supreme Emperor is too small to solve the problem."

Last year, the output of the improved varieties selected by the Supreme Emperor was indeed higher than that of ordinary varieties, but there were too few improved varieties, and these improved varieties had to be optimized, etc., which could not solve the problem.

The prince is silent. He has been working hard in the Ministry of Households recently. Not only does his father mean it, but he also wants to hear more about Zhou Hou’s thoughts. the opinion of.
