Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Zhang Yiyan sat upright, leaning slightly forward to look at Gu Jingyun, in front of Gu Jingyun, he would never dare to Fan Song.

Gu Jingyun stopped writing, moved his homework aside to dry, "The development of the caravan has stabilized, have you thought about what to do in the future?"

"Young master, I am a criminal, it is inconvenient to do anything, and I really can't think of anything else to do in the village of sin."

Gu Jingyun glanced at him, "You want me to help you get better?"

Zhang Yiyan looked at him expectantly.

Gu Jingyun sneered: "If I have this ability, why would I come back here?"

"My son, the situation in my family is different from that of the Qin family. My father was exiled because of corruption. He was only a small fifth-rank magistrate at that time. Now, no one will remember him..."

"I won't gamble with my wealth and life for others," Gu Jingyun interrupted him, "If you have such expectations, then let's part ways as soon as possible."

Zhang Yiyan was slightly disappointed, but his refusal was also expected, so he knelt down to Gu Jingyun without any pressure, "Young Master, I was delusional. Don't worry, I won't have such thoughts again."

No wonder!

Gu Jingyun looked down at him, so he liked and trusted Zhang Liulang more, but he had to admit that Zhang Yiyan was more comfortable with it.

He doesn't care about Zhang Yiyan's insincere words, anyway, he can still control him now, can't he?

"There are currently ten criminal villages in Qiongzhou, and it is expected that there will be more in the future. There are new populations every year. In addition to the newly exiled people, there are also new-born infants and young children. These people will grow up. The criminal population and Later generations accounted for one-third of Qiongzhou's population, not counting those who married into good people." Gu Jingyun said: "With such a vast land and a huge population, you can't think of anything to do, except for the imperial court. In addition to the limitations of oppression and crime, it is also because of your laziness."

Zhang Yiyan blushed a little, "What good idea, Young Master?"

"No good ideas, just shallow opinions."

Gu Jingyun: "The people who are exiled here, except for those who were wronged, are all people who deserved their crimes. I don't think they deserve help, but their descendants are innocent anyway. There are many mountains in the area of ​​the sin village. There is very little land suitable for planting, and most of them are located in relatively barren and dangerous places in the sea, so they are poor because the resources they can get are limited. Also because they are limited in their range of activities, they have fewer choices."

Zhang Yiyan nodded sharply.

"It's stupid thinking."

Zhang Yiyan almost twisted his head in the middle of pointing.

Gu Jingyun sneered and said, "You can make money with basic necessities of life, food, housing, and transportation. Now criminals make food by fishing and selling seafood after drying. But can't you do the other three?"

Zhang Yiyan was taken aback, and said, "Yes, but our actions are restricted..."

"There are many merchant ships berthing at Qiongzhou Wharf. As long as you have goods that can impress them, why don't you worry about getting money?"

"This time I went out for a walk and found that a catty of good tea leaves can be sold for 8 taels a catty, while those famous teas are priced in taels, and one liang tea leaves are worth a hundred taels of silver, while the worst tea leaves It can also be sold for seventy or eighty yuan a catty. Excluding the merchants who have transferred in the middle, the tea sold by the tea farmers is between fifteen and thirty-five yuan per catty. This is calculated based on the worst tea." Gu Jingyun transferred Looking out of the window, his window is facing the mountains in the distance, dotted with lush green trees, which is very pleasing to the eye.

"Qiongzhou has a warm climate and many mountains. Other crops may not be able to survive, but it is very suitable for crops such as tea trees and mulberry. The sinners of Ruosin Village and the good people of Xiangshan Village learned how to grow tea and make tea. Do you still worry about the lack of gold, silver and grain?"

Zhang Yiyan's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help clenching his fists, "Have you planned what kind of tea to grow, sir?"

"No," Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "I just thought about it. You have to investigate and test what kind of tea is suitable for Qiongzhou. Besides, there is mulberry."

"Mulberry can feed silkworms, so I won't talk about the benefits, but hemp can be directly used to make clothes." Gu Jingyun paused and said: "Silks and satins are very good, and a piece of poor satin can be sold for four or five taels, but good ones are worth a thousand dollars." Please, but how many people in Dachu can afford silk and satin?"

Gu Jingyun pointed to the clothes on his body and said: "I wear cotton cloth, but you, the criminals in the sin village and the ordinary people in Qiongzhou outside, most of them wear linen. In Qiongzhou, except for the county magistrate and those few Landlord, who else can afford silk and satin?"

Yes, you Qin family.

Zhang Yiyan said silently in his heart, but he had to agree with Gu Jingyun's words, few people in Qiongzhou could afford silk and satin clothes, and even if there were more people outside, they would not be more than those wearing cotton and linen.

"You don't know how to plant or make tea for a while, but you must know how to plant ramie and weave linen. Qiongzhou leads to the Central Plains, and Guangzhou, a country outside the vassal, has the advantage, and you are still crying Are you saying you can't find something to do?"

Zhang Yiyan was dumbfounded, he didn't know that he could do so many things in Sin Village.

Of course he knows about ramie, his family grows it, and every household in the villages he visited has it. Some families split a piece of land to plant it in their private plot, and some families with a large population set aside a piece of land to plant it. Some people directly plant a circle in the field, and there are still crops inside.

After the ramie is harvested, the hemp is peeled, and it can be woven into cloth with a spinning machine. Women in every family can weave, and they will not be forced to learn by life.

For example, his mother didn't even know what ramie looks like, let alone weaving, but they couldn't afford to buy clothes. His father could only learn how to grow hemp from others, and he took the eggs laid by the chickens at home to ask for help. After learning how to weave, his mother chopped wood and took the family's five chickens to ask the carpenter in Zui Village to help him build a spinning machine.

The spinning machines and weaving skills of every household in Sin Village come from this way.

The matter of tea can be put aside for the time being, but ramie can be planted immediately.

Zhang Yiyan asked with a burning heart, "My lord, where do we sell the cloth?"

Gu Jingyun shook his head, "I don't know."

"Does the young man have a plan?"

Gu Jingyun continued to shake his head, "No."

Zhang Yiyan choked and stared at him.

"That's why I asked you to come. You have to organize and organize the planting of ramie and weaving, and you have to find the merchants."

Zhang Yiyan looked at him blankly, "What are you doing, young man?"

"I'll help you replace the county magistrate of Qiongzhou. It's not too difficult to get your goods out."

Zhang Yiyan couldn't help swallowing, and said with sparkling eyes, "Tan Qian is leaving?"

"Ah~~" Gu Jingyun said with a half-smile, "Maybe he will come to keep you company in the future."

Looking at Gu Jingyun's smile, Zhang Yiyan couldn't help but shudder, and after a while, the joy overshadowed the sense of danger at this moment.

He was really tired of Tan Qian.

Tan Qian has been the county magistrate of Qiongzhou for nine years, and he hasn't moved his nest. It doesn't matter that the taxes are getting heavier every year, and various donations have also emerged.

Especially for their criminals, Tan Qian wished he could smash their bones with a knife and suck their marrow.

Why is it so difficult for Sin Village to marry a daughter-in-law in recent years?

Because many families will choose to drown the girls first because they cannot feed so many people. If the food is not enough, or the tax is not enough, then it will be the turn of the young boy, and then the old man...

One after another, in the end, if they can't even make up their own tax, they will hang themselves with a rope.

Has he seen Zhang Yiyan less these years?

If it weren't for his caravan to help the villagers of Sin Village escape part of the donation and city gate tax, more people would die.

Because of the Qin family and the caravan in Yicun, everyone's life is difficult, but at least the children born can be kept, so there is not enough hatred for Tan Qian.

But in other criminal villages, Zhang Yiyan has no doubts that if Tan Qian does not move his nest in a few years, the criminals in the criminal villages may not be able to help but rebel.

So don't blame Zhang Yiyan for being happy, if it wasn't for Gu Jingyun, he would have jumped up and laughed three times.

"Don't worry, my lord. As long as you can solve Tan Qian, then I can do this well. From planting ramie to selling, I will definitely not trouble you."

Gu Jingyun nodded in satisfaction. This is why he likes to use Zhang Yiyan. As long as he gives a direction and some help, he can handle things properly, and he will never be asked to spend more time, unlike Zhang Liulang...

Zhang Liulang was asking Li Baolu for advice at this time, "Our caravan only accepts seafood, which I think is too monotonous. How about I sell some goods from the city and sell them to the villagers when I go to the village to collect the goods? ?”

"I don't know, make up your own mind."

Zhang Liulang said distressedly, "I'm just asking you if I'm not sure."

Li Baolu thought for a while and said, "Then go back and ask your elder sister."

Zhang Liulang frowned, "She, how can she understand these things..."

Li Baolu sneered, "She knows a lot more than you. If you were half as good as her, you wouldn't ask me."

Zhang Liulang pursed his lips, and said after a while, "Li Baolu, did you take gunpowder, why are you always targeting me today?"

"No," Li Baolu flatly denied, "I'm just a little worried about my family's caravan."

Zhang Liulang said angrily: "Look down on me, just wait, the caravan I'm in charge of won't be any worse than Brother Yiyan."

Li Baolu waved at him, "Good ambition, I hope you can realize it."

Zhang Liulang ran away angrily. When he got home, he thought about it, turned around and ran to find sister Zhang, "Sister, please help me refer to something."

Aunt Zhang was weaving cloth with a textile machine. Hearing that she kept moving, she picked up the silk and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"I want the caravan to sell goods, do you think the villagers will buy them?"

"No." Sister Zhang said without thinking.

Zhang Liulang choked for a while before asking, "Why?"

"Because there is no money." Zhang Damei looked at him in surprise, "Everyone can't even get together the money to pay taxes, how can they have the money to buy things from the shopkeeper?"

"A needle can be used for ten years, the thread can be twisted by oneself, the cloth used for clothes is woven by oneself, and except salt in oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, who doesn't make the rest by themselves? As for other things, they will not die if they are not used. Do you have the spare money to buy it?"

Zhang Liulang shook his lips and said, "It makes sense."

"Wait until the people in Sin Village have money, then you can think about it."

"But when will they be rich?"

"I don't know," Sister Zhang sighed, "Maybe it would be better to change to a county magistrate."

Before Tan Qian came, the children in the village could eat some sweets every time the adults went to the city to sell seafood, but now...
