All kinds of thoughts were swirling in Feng Ziying's mind.
He had known for a long time that when he returned from this trip, he would probably be unable to extricate himself from the pond of the Great Zhou Chaotang. Of course, he might not be able to pull out if he wanted to. Everyone would be in it, but how to find a better position? It all depends on personal ability.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Ningrong Street, through the crack in the curtain, I saw Ni Er, who was wearing an indigo cotton robe and a tan satin vest, looking around. He ordered the carriage to stop, opened the curtain and asked, "Ni Er, are you here?" What are you doing here?"
"Ni Er has met Uncle Feng. He heard from Li Shi'er that Uncle Feng was coming to the house today, so he was waiting in front of the street..." Ni Er said with a smile on his face, "Yesterday, too, I came to the house, but seeing the crowd of people delivering messages at the door, I didn’t dare to disturb him. I also knew that the uncle was busy with big things during this time, so I took advantage of this moment to say hello to the uncle... "
Feng Ziying burst into laughter. This guy was obviously looking for trouble for her, but he was also smart. He probably didn't have time to go to the Grand View Tower in the near future, so he might as well just stay here to protect himself.
"Well, I'm afraid I really don't have much time these days. If I have something to say,..." Feng Ziying didn't think of anything that could happen to the other party for a moment.
"Hey, uncle, you are a noble man who forgets things. Didn't you order me to explore the cesspits in this city a few years ago? In the past few months, I and my brothers have basically figured out the situation in the west city, north city, and south city. There are some obstacles over there, but it’s not a big problem. Dongcheng hasn’t had time yet and just wants to ask the uncle first. This matter is almost done. Chief Yang is also a cheerful person and clearly told me that now It depends on the regulations issued by the Ministry of Industry and the cooperation of Shuntian Prefecture in order to get this thing done..."
Only then did Feng Ziying remember what she had arranged before going to Jiangnan.
Previously, he and Wang Yongguang, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was the former mountain chief of Chongzheng Academy, mentioned that the capital city was full of filth and the public toilets were seriously insufficient. This not only damaged the image of the Zhou Dynasty, but also easily caused epidemics in the event of heavy rain and waterlogging. It is popular and I suggest that the Ministry of Industry consider this matter.
Wang Yongguang agreed, but he also mentioned that the Ministry of Industry's annual expenditures were fixed, and the Ministry of Household Affairs was tight at the moment, so it would be difficult to negotiate, so Feng Ziying took the opportunity to talk to Cui Jingrong again.
Cui Jingrong naturally knew that the capital was flooded in the past few years. If the measures listed in Feng Ziying and Qingtan Academy's "Epidemic Prevention Preparations" had not been compulsorily implemented in the capital city, there would have been a major epidemic that year. Cui Jingrong was also very worried. Agreed, and agreed to suggest it to Zheng Jizhi after returning from Jiangnan.
I didn't expect that the Ministry of Works would now involve Shuntian Mansion again, but think about it, how could the Ministry of Works take all this matter on itself? Even if it made an agreement with the Ministry of Household Affairs, the specific implementation would probably have to be smooth. Tianfu and the Ministry of Industry came to join forces, probably because they thought this was a thankless job.
"Well, I understand." Feng Ziying nodded, "You continue to think about this matter, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible. By then, you will have to select enough people for this business. If it is a big city, Every city and town is involved, and there aren’t enough people available, so I’m afraid it won’t be possible.”
Ni Er was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir. I have nothing but someone. I will definitely choose carefully and live up to my expectations."
Feng Ziying laughed. Ni Er seemed to have a lot of thoughts on bleaching. He wanted to find a regular businessman, but running a cesspool could be considered a "businessman".
Of course, it is estimated that there will inevitably be a lot of troubles caused by this business in the future, but in this big Zhou Dynasty, how can such a big business not have some troubles?
Even if you follow the orders of the imperial court and set up a bank in the sea, wouldn't something happen to you?
Nodding, Feng Ziying was about to lower the curtain, but Ni Er took another step forward and said with a smile on his face: "The uncle has just come back. In the winter, a lot of game is sent from the mountains, and the small ones are sent to the two aunts over in Maxiang Hutong.
It's over there. If you have time, you can go and try it out."
Trying something new? Feng Ziying glanced at Ni Er, could this guy also learn to be a woman?
You actually know how to let yourself go to Ma Xiang Hutong to try new things?
I just don’t know what this early adopter is?
Feng Ziying was full of thoughts for a while.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu was already waiting at the corner gate.
Looking at the handsome and flying appearance of the other party, Feng Ziying estimated that Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a virtuous concubine seemed to have given the Jia family a lot of confidence.
However, Feng Ziying has not fully understood why Emperor Yonglong wanted to accept Jia Yuanchun as his concubine. You must know that Jia Yuanchun is the female history of the concubine, and she was specially summoned to Renshou Palace by the concubine. She does not know why she was suddenly taken by Yonglong.
Tina became a concubine.
Feng Ziying still couldn't understand what was weird here, but he could roughly guess that it must have something to do with the martial arts group represented by Jia Yuanchun, and also with the concubine's role as a bridge between the Supreme Emperor and Yonglong Emperor.
The effects are related.
However, it would be too naive if the concubine or the martial arts group thought that they could allay Emperor Yonglong's suspicions and allay his fears with just one woman.
Feng Ziying believed that neither the Supreme Emperor nor the martial arts group were so naive, but at least this was a gesture to show that both parties were willing to live in harmony.
But from another perspective, it might as well be a delaying tactic. This is true for Emperor Yonglong, this is true for the martial arts group, and it may even be true for the Supreme Emperor and even Prince Yi Zhong.
If it is really the last one, then this incident for the Jia family may be self-defeating and get burned.
"Brother Feng."
"Baoyu." Facing the round face full of sunshine and brilliance, Feng Ziying smiled and nodded: "Brother, why are you so polite? I have a good brother to thank."
"Brother Feng is not as good as before. Everyone in the house is talking about Brother Feng these days." Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Brother Zhen came to the house and talked about Brother Feng with me. Brother Zhen also said that since this
To open the sea, I wonder if Tianjin Wei will also open the sea in the future. They say that they have a village in Jinjiayao next to the Acropolis, and there are also several shops in the Acropolis. If this Tianjin Wei
If we can open the sea in the future, then this village and shop cannot be sold. Maybe we can buy them at a good price in a few years."
Feng Ziying was also surprised. She didn't expect that Jia Zhen could actually think of Tianjin Wei Kaihai, and further figured out that his Zhuangzi shop could increase the price. It seemed that this guy was not so stupid and incompetent.
"Oh, Brother Zhen also has a Zhuangzi shop over there in Tianjin Wei?" Feng Ziying asked casually.
"Well, it was a reward from the imperial court in the early years, but Tianjin Acropolis is also prosperous. We originally had Zhuangzi there, but it was sold more than ten years ago. Originally, Dongfu said it would also sell it, but that
At that time, I said that Uncle Jing didn't agree, so I didn't sell it." Jia Baoyu didn't think it was anything.
"Then it's best not to sell it. Although it's not yet possible to open the sea to Tianjin Wei, it will most likely be opened to the sea in the future. Moreover, Tianjin Wei is right at the throat of the capital city, and all kinds of people and goods coming from the south and the north are here.
After passing here, if the sea is opened, it will be Liaodong and even North Korea in the future, and Japanese goods and customers can enter the capital city through Tianjin Wei."
What Feng Ziying said is true. Once Tianjin Wei opens to the sea, the level of prosperity will definitely rise to the next level. Whether it is a village or a shop, the prices will rise a lot.
The two chatted and then entered the house accompanied by a group of servants.
"Brother Feng should go to see the elder and the master. Later, the wife will be with the ancestors, so she will meet them too." Baoyu sighed, "It's a pity that Sister Lin didn't come back."
Could it be that this guy is still thinking about Miss Lin? Feng Ziying shook her head subconsciously.
Feng Ziying is also considering the matter of her engagement to Lin Daiyu. She must not keep it a secret. She will have to show it off with her mother. There may be a "battle" between her and her mother, who will definitely not agree easily.
However, before leaving, Lin Ruhai also made it known to herself that Lin Yatou actually had a concubine sister. If possible, she probably wanted to have Lin Yatou, the concubine sister, as a dowry, which would be much safer.
It can also reassure both the Feng family and the Lin family.
This is something Feng Ziying has never heard of.
It is said that the elder sister Lin Yatou was born to Lin Ruhai when she was young and a singer from Jiaofangsi. The singer became a monk and lived with her in a Buddhist temple with her daughter.
She has been living in the temple for so many years, and Lin Ruhai has visited many times. The girl also knows that Lin Ruhai is her biological father.
But now this girl has come to the capital city. Wang Wenyan also said that he is still looking for her. There was no news from the capital city when he returned to the capital, so he probably hasn't found her yet.
Feng Ziying thought it was ridiculous at first. How could such a thing be possible? Even Miss Lin might not be able to agree to it.
But unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai was very determined and told Feng Ziying not to worry, he would be responsible for making arrangements with Lin Yatou.
Feng Ziying did not respond to the other party's request, but he had to admit that this arrangement was very attractive.
Concubines are different from concubines. The children born to the legitimate wife can be regarded as legitimate children if the legitimate wife has no children, just like the situation if Feng Ziying is not the daughter of the elder Duan but the younger Duan, and the elder Duan has no offspring.
Next, Feng Ziying can also be regarded as the legitimate son of the Feng family, but if Feng Ziying is the daughter of the Su family or the Xie family, it will be troublesome. Unless there are no other wives or concubines, she can be regarded as the legitimate son as the sole heir.
Because of this, Feng Ziying knew that if the Lin family really proposed this point, her mother would have no reason to refuse.
I don’t know if the people arranged by Wang Wenyan to find Lin Yatou’s sister in the capital city have found her?
