Chapter 61: Look at people but not government
Seeing that his father didn't want to pay attention to him, Qian Hongxuan said:
"Dad, I'm waiting for you to talk about Ling'er."
Qian Xunyi didn't even raise his head and replied calmly: "Ling'er is fine."
Qian Hongxuan asked again: "Dad, Han's family style is not well received."
Qian Xunyi then raised his head: "The family motto is clearly stated. If you marry a wife and ask for a lady, don't care about the dowry; if you choose a good son-in-law to marry a daughter, don't seek wealth and honor. The meaning of this is to look at people, but you have been talking about looking at the mansion. It is said that the eldest son of Zhen'an Hou Mansion has endured for many years and finally found an opportunity to enter the Han Mansion with himself and take the power of the Han Mansion to avenge him."
"yes."
"I'll ask you, what kind of revenge are you avenging?"
"The diary said..." Qian Hongxuan was mute, and he also reacted: "Dad, this matter is strange. If you really want to take action, you won't be able to commit suicide and then you will be able to join the Han Mansion."
Qian Xunyi asked again: "One of Li Xing's three concubines was beaten to death at that time, but the other two, no one can see their bodies in their lives or death. Who else can recognize Li Xing in this world?"
Qian Hongxuan nodded.
Qian Xunyi asked the second question: "I'll ask you again. Li Xing's grandfather left a suicide note and his property belonged to him. So why didn't Han Jiang accept it or send someone to accept it?"
Before Qian Hongxuan could react, Qian Xunyi asked the third question: "Another question, how many years have you been studying?"
After asking, Qian Xunyi placed a piece of paper on the chessboard.
There were only eleven words on the paper, but Qian Hongxuan spent a full time looking at the incense stick.
Qian Xunyi stood up and said, "Look at the chessboard, I, Qian, Wu Yue, cannot teach this talent. I, the whole clan, selects good teachers and trains them for ten years. If possible, it may not be possible. Tell me, how much time does a person who lingers in a brothel have to study knowledge? Is it difficult for someone in a brothel to live in a brothel for many years?"
Qian Xunyi stood by the window with his hands behind his back: "The dessert called cream cake given in the palace was created by this son. How old is he...? What his father is thinking now is what he knows and what his character is. Instead of what his surname is, he is in that mansion."
"Yes, is it stupid." Qian Hongxuan thought for a while and asked again: "Dad, I still don't believe it. He may have copied it."
Qian Xunyi sat down and pointed to the cup on the table. Qian Hongxuan quickly delivered the hot tea to his father's hand. Qian Xunyi slowly took a sip of the tea and asked, "Even if it is copied, there is a place for him to copy. You can still say, or get it occasionally, the pair may be, but this chess."
Qian Xunyi did not speak anymore, but cleared the chessboard and reviewed the chessboard just now.
Then he asked: "How is Ling'er's chess skills?"
“Incredible.”
"Yes, it's incredible. I've only learned for a while, but I'm afraid I haven't learned all the changes. Do you want to teach me, or don't ask who taught me, where does this formula come from?"
Qian Hongxuan couldn't answer the words. His father was the leader of the four major players in the world, and the person with the highest chess skills today.
If you have any good scores, someone will come to ask for advice. There are more than a thousand chess scores collected at home.
Qian Hongxuan nodded heavily: "Dad's meaning seems to understand. Since this brother Jiang claimed to be taught by my Qian family, then wait and see for a while, and he should not be tainted with his reputation as the Han family because he is the adopted son of the Han family."
After hearing this, Qian Xunyi waved his hand: "Go."
"Son of your son will leave."
Qian Xunyi really wanted to ask in person, what else did Han Jiang know?
This question was also what Han Si wanted to ask. He didn't understand why Han Jiang was so confident that he had to come to his own farm and could try to change the poverty state of the farm.
Han Jiang is in Shiniuling Village.
There are six counties under Yanzhou, which are basically all mountainous lands. Small alluvial plains are less than one-tenth of the entire area of the state. However, the waterways here are well developed, and there are four rivers passing by, thirty-eight rivers in size.
Shiniuling Zhuangzi is divided into two types: Dongzhuang and Xizhuang. They are two plains among the mountains. The two farms are separated by a mountain and are only four miles apart. But if you want to leave, you need to cross the ridge. The two farms are surrounded by mountains, and the Qiantang River is to the south.
There are 355 households in the east and west villages of Shiniuling, which are set as four villages. Xizhuang is larger, both villages are Baihu Village, Dongzhuang is smaller, and both villages are about seventy households.
Han Jiang turned around on his legs in Dongzhuang.
This eastern village is more than three miles north and east and three miles east and west, and is surrounded by mountains. To the north is a square place of Qiantang River. The northeast corner is a wide river inlet where a stream flows into the Qiantang River. There is a village next to the water, with seventy-eight households. There is a village near the mountain in the southwest corner and seventy-seven households.
The rest in the middle is paddy fields one after another.
Then, mulberry forests were planted on the edges of the mountain.
Han Jiang was tired of walking and sat on a stone by the river and stared at the river in a daze.
The manager of the village in Shiniuling Village followed. Seeing Han Jiang sit down, he quickly brought the village's account book and list. He knew what happened in Yanzhou City, so he was extremely nervous.
Han Jiang didn't answer and asked, "There are about 1,800 acres of paddy fields in Dongzhuang."
"When Shaojun said that there are 1,766 acres of paddy fields. There are 451 mulberry trees on the side of the mountain, and there are more than 63,500 mulberry trees."
Han Jiang nodded and signaled that such a report would be fine.
Han Jiang remembers that the average annual income of this Xizhuang household is about 35 stakes, the worst is 31 stake, and the highest is not more than 40 stakes. The gap between the rich and the poor is very small.
This little money is barely enough for a family to make a living, but it is still free from illness or disaster.
After sitting by the river for a while, Han Jiang instructed: "The boat cannot be docked here. I plan to stay here for one night. Can the boat stop there?"
"Shaojun, go downstream to the intersection of Lanjiang River, and go upstream three miles to our pier. If you can't stop such a large boat on weekdays, it's okay to stop for a night."
"Yeah, just do that."
"yes."
It is possible to stop temporarily by the river, but it is not safe to stop for a long time. After leaving two commuting boats, the boat will start to the intersection of Lanjiang River.
Han Jiang needs to observe carefully and then think about whether there is any way to increase productivity and increase the per capita income of this Zhuangzi.
Han Jiang believes that he should come up with a targeted solution.
At night, there was no light in the whole village, and lighting the lights cost money.
The house is a little cold because not many people here will use charcoal when they sleep at night, and if they use firewood, there will be smoke.
Han Jiang saw a news in his previous life that it was closing the coal mine in Jiande City. Unfortunately, he didn't know where the coal mine was and how deep it was. After all, he was not a computer and could not remember so many things.
