Chapter 875 Silver
"Okay, my son is capable." Chu Jiu said with a smile, clapping his hands and said, "Come on! Second boy, let your father hug you."
"I don't know if this kid will let you hug you." Zhong Yuxiu said as she handed his eight-month-old son to him, "Oh! I didn't cry." He urged, "Let's go, hurry back to the house, the cold air is coming."
"Yes!" Chu Jiu walked towards the back hall with his eldest son on his back and holding the second boy.
"Haha..." Zhong Yuxiu looked at the father and son with bright starry eyes, "If you have three children, how can you hug me!"
"Simple, just ride another one around your neck." Chu Jiu said silly and easily.
"Haha..." Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and laughed, "What about four?"
"Hold one at the same time." Chu Jiu said with a smile, "If you have it, let them hold my legs."
Zhong Yuxiu thought about the scene, "You might as well just fall over your body."
"Then let's work hard to have a child!" Chu Jiule's eyes turned into crescent moons.
While speaking, he arrived at the back hall, "Do you have a meal first or take a shower first?" Zhong Yuxiu took the second boy from his arms and put it in the cradle.
Chu Zeyuan jumped off his back.
Zhong Yuxiu helped him take off the armor on his body and put it on the Eight Immortals table.
"Huh! It's much more comfortable." Chu Jiu sat on the chair and looked at them and said, "Eat first, you're hungry too!"
Zhong Yuxiu raised his voice and asked Chuntao and the others to set up their meals. Xia Lian came in with a copper basin and asked Chu Jiu to clean it up briefly.
The sumptuous food was quickly set on the round table, "It's all your favorite food." Zhong Yuxiu looked at him with a gentle look and said, "You eat first, I'll feed you some millet porridge." As he said that, he carried his son out of the stroller and sat on his lap.
"Let me, let the wet nurse feed you!" Chu Jiu blinked and looked at her and said.
"Your son recognizes people." Zhong Yuxiu took a porcelain spoon and threw a little bit of millet porridge on the top of the bowl.
"Have this kid quit breasts?" Chu Jiu suddenly remembered and said when he saw this.
"Give up!" Zhong Yuxiu looked at the second boy who was anxious to eat and hurriedly stuffed the spoon into his mouth.
Just listened to this kid gusting and drinking happily.
"Otherwise, why feed him millet porridge?" Zhong Yuxiu scooped another spoonful of millet porridge and fed it to Second Primary School.
"Isn't it hot? You spoonful after spoonful." Chu Jiu asked curiously as he looked at her.
"The porridge has been dried long ago, it's just right." Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him and said, "You should have dinner quickly! What do we do?"
"When Yuan'er was old, she was old and could eat by herself. I've never seen you feed your child like this! It's very strange." Chu Jiu looked at the mother and son with a gaze and said, "He eats so delicious."
"He will know very soon when he eats delicious food." Zhong Yuxiu spoke while feeding his son, and his hands were not slow at all.
"Why do you feed it millet porridge? There are vegetables, why don't he let him eat it!" Chu Jiu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Come on, Daddy, pick it up for you."
"Stop, stop." Zhong Yuxiu said quickly when he saw this.
"Dad, my brother can't eat salt now." Chu Zeyuan said with round eyes looking at him.
"Ah! Can't eat salt? Why?" Chu Jiu looked at him in surprise and said.
"Master said, it was written in this medical book." Chu Zeyuan looked at him with innocent eyes and continued, "As for why it is millet porridge, not other porridges, it is because it is written in the medical book: the rice oil on millet porridge is as good as ginseng. It is good for my health if I drink it."
"Oh!" Chu Jiu nodded clearly, "Then drink more."
"This father, he doesn't know how to be hungry and full, so he is not afraid of being able to hold on." Zhong Yuxiu said to him with a funny look.
"Dad, I've never seen this golden porridge!" Chu Zeyuan said with his chin on his face.
"It's yellower than millet porridge." Chu Jiu sniffed his nose, "It tasted fragrant." His dark eyes turned, "I remember there was a golden color in Fanbang seeds."
"Yes, that seed, planted, I call it corn." Chu Zeyuan looked at him with excited cheeks flushed and said, "Dad, its yield per mu is very high! It is twice as high as wheat!"
"What?" Chu Jiu stood up excitedly.
"Haha..." Chu Zeyuan looked at Zhong Yuxiu with a smile and said, "Mom, just like what you said, Dad jumped up excitedly."
"What did you two mothers say?" Chu Jiu sat down and turned his eyes on them.
"When corn yield came out, my mother said that this number would make my father happy than winning the battle, and he would jump up excitedly." Chu Zeyuan looked at him with a smile on his face with black grape-like eyes.
"Such high output?" Chu Jiu looked at Zhong Yuxiu in surprise and asked.
"I was also surprised, and its growth cycle was short. After the wheat was harvested, it was fine to plant summer and harvest autumn." Zhong Yuxiu said without raising her head.
"Dad, the tender corn is very delicious and tastes very fragrant. Our chickens also like it." Chu Zeyuan said with a smile at him.
"Yes! Both pigs, cattle and sheep like it, but it's much better than sorghum." After Zhong Yuxiu finished feeding the second little girl, she picked her up and patted her son's back, and then put him in the stroller.
"Sorghum can be used to make wine, it is indispensable." Chu Jiu looked at them and smiled.
"Okay, while the second little girl doesn't make a fuss, hurry up and eat, it will be cold if you don't eat." Zhong Yuxiu greeted the two of them.
The staple food on the dining table is naturally corn, and the fresh ones are so delicious. Chu Jiu ate one bowl.
Chu Jiu put down his chopsticks, looked at the dinner table and was eaten by their family and smiled, "Oh! This is much better than sorghum."
"We must promote it vigorously, just for the per capita yield." Chu Jiu looked at Zhong Yuxiu with unconcealed joy and said, "I just don't know whether to pick or not."
"At the beginning of next spring, Sister Tao will farm in different plots to see the difference in yield." Zhong Yuxiu said to him with a smile on her face.
"Let's go and talk to our study and let Chuntao and the others clean up." Zhong Yuxiu pushed the stroller and walked out.
"Hey! What are you going to do?" Chu Jiu said hurriedly as he looked at her.
"Pee." Zhong Yuxiu said without looking back, "You can play with your son first!"
"Then why are you going out?" Chu Jiu looked at her in confusion and said, "This room is full of respect."
"I'm tired of playing with your son, so let's chat after I'm sleeping." Zhong Yuxiu and Chuntao carried the stroller out of the room.
"Dad, let's go to the study and take the muskets to the martial arts field." Chu Zeyuan pulled him away.
"This musket is here." Chu Jiu said to him with a funny look.
"It's a pity that I don't let me play." Chu Zeyuan said unhappily with his mouth flattened.
"You! You're taller, let's play with you." Chu Jiu looked at him gently and said, "You've grown taller again after not seeing you these days."
The father and son took the muskets and went to the martial arts field until dark, before taking their son to take a bath and letting them sleep.
Chu Jiu entered the room with a refreshing look and happened to see Zhong Yuxiu coming out of the bedroom and pointing to the study.
The two of them went to the study room lightly, and Chu Jiu closed the door and said, "I'm asleep."
"I'm asleep." Chu Jiu asked in a low voice, pulling her to sit on the Luohan couch together.
"I'm asleep." Zhong Yuxiu nodded with a smile, "Mum Lian is looking at him! Don't worry." He looked at him gently and said, "This Jingzhou has been taken down completely!"
"Take it down." Chu Jiu said happily, telling her in detail what happened in Jingzhou these days.
Zhong Yuxiu folded his hands together, "I am so grateful to God, I am not surprised."
Chu Jiu held her hand and looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you for your hard work at home."
"No, you're working hard outside!" Zhong Yuxiu gently stroked his rough hands.
"Next! It's winter coming soon. Are you going to go to the battle?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at him gently and said, "This year, the cotton harvest is good, so you can't make all cotton coats for your brothers! Most of them are there. If you really want to go to the battle, you can withstand the freezing."
"No! Take a break, I have been fighting in the past few years, I will make some rectifications, and I will talk about it in the beginning of spring next year." Chu Jiu gently stroked her hand.
"Call it there." Zhong Yuxiu looked at him curiously and said.
"Preliminary idea is to go east and hit the beach, so that it will be convenient to go out to sea to do business." Chu Jiu said with a smile on his face and said.
"That's great." Zhong Yuxiu grabbed his arm excitedly and suddenly his face collapsed again, "It's good to be able to see the sea, but what about this ship!"
This makes me think of silver. Although I have the money bag of salt, it is still not enough compared to the cost of shipbuilding.
"This time I brought a lot of money back from Xiangyang." Chu Jiumei said with a slut, saying very regretfully, "If other places in Jingzhou are like the gentry in Xiangyang, they will fall and eat enough. As a result, they will be obediently enforcing the government orders." I feel so uncomfortable.
"I'm not stupid, my arms can't twist my thighs. There is no airtight wall in this world, especially those who do business at home. I've studied how they died thoroughly. Will they still resist stupidly?" Zhong Yuxiu snorted, "I only give them two words to the ending of the gentry in Xiangyang City, 'I deserve it!'"
"Do you hate them so much?" Chu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said to her.
"A selfish villain!" Zhong Yuxiu said without any concealing his disgust, "Since I learned about you and the gentry in Xiangyang, I have been reading history books."
"How can you get something?" Chu Jiumei said with a smile on her.
"Yeah!" Zhong Yuxiu looked at him with a starry eyes, "I can read the Han Shu, the history of Emperor Wu's period."
"You are talking about Guo Jiechuan!" Chu Jiu thought to him after hearing this.
"You also look at this history." Zhong Yuxiu said to him in surprise.
"Well! I feel a lot. History is always reappearing, because what remains unchanged is insatiable." Chu Jiu said, "These people do not abide by the rules, become stronger and bigger, collude with the government, and then want to influence the court, just for personal gain." He closed his eyes and said, "Just as Changsheng said, why can't Yanting's commercial tax be implemented? It's not that the great merchants in Jiangnan are behind the high-ranking officials in the temple."
"Yeah!" Zhong Yuxiu nodded quickly and said, "I was particularly touched in the situation. During the Jin and Han dynasties, these gentry took advantage of loopholes in the court's policies, quickly accumulated wealth, and occupied a large amount of land. Once land annexation was formed, governments, merchants, power and money, and the literati raised by money would be in conjunction with each other. If the central government did not control the local area, they would be rampant in the local area and posed a huge threat to the central government. If this wind was not suppressed, the central government would be like the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, with a small country and a small wealth, and in name only. Especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there would be troops that could almost threaten the imperial court."
"We must fight them firmly." Chu Jiu's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness and looked at her coldly, "These people only have self-interests. They have money and power, and they will only gain greater interests. Take the time of Emperor Wu for example, expect them to fight against the Huns. Come on! They will only agree with marriage, and a woman will solve it. Let them contribute money and efforts. They will not do this thankless thing. Do you have money or not? Anyway, they have it, and they will care about their affairs. Being strapped by the iron cavalry, they will change their clothes and enjoy wealth and prosperity."
"It is said that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the last resort. They are small roadside vendors, and anyone can bully them." Chu Jiu sighed when he heard this, "With money can make the devil push the mill, and his ability to get fame and fortune, but those who don't have the ability will donate an official. Regardless of whether they have real power or not, they are not businessmen anyway."
"The many restrictions on businessmen have disappeared after selling official positions and titles." Zhong Yuxiu snorted coldly, "Since ancient times, there have been money with power. You can just snatch it, snatch it, pawn shop, cloth shop, and grain shop, and there are officials behind it."
"In this way, the big merchants have the lowest status on the surface, but they have much higher status than farmers and workers. After all, they are rich." Chu Jiu chuckled and said, "After all, it's silver. This gentry has no money to go bankrupt, and the court has no money to break the country."
"Good that we have a bag of money now." Zhong Yuxiu said with her starry eyes wide open and her starry eyes wide open.
"Yes!" Chu Jiu took a deep breath, looked at her with lingering fear and said, "Fortunately, I knew the twists and turns inside, otherwise I would have been killed."
"I won't talk about this anymore." Zhong Yuxiu looked at him and said, "Do you know that Gu Congshan has captured Jinling?"
"I know." Chu Jiu nodded and said.
"What are you going to do?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at him and said, "Ajiu, you don't have to worry about me, you can do whatever you want."
"You're thinking too much. The world is so big. He hits him, I'll hit mine." Chu Jiu looked at him with a gentle look and said, "There is no need for a head-on conflict yet."
The body of Gu Dashen is not cold. If he or Chu Jiu starts a dispute, the backbone will be pierced by others.
"I'll write a letter right now. Congratulations to Gu Xiaoshuai on taking down Jinling." Chu Jiu's dark and translucent eyes looked at her and said seriously, "Let them use words more gorgeously, and flatter them louder."
