Chapter 1885 The Renzijuan is drawn slowly, but the picture is poor and daggers can be seen
Looking at the peaceful face of Yingchun sleeping soundly, Feng Ziying tucked the quilt for him with some affection.
He can understand the difficulties faced by women in his family.
A family with three houses faces huge competition. This is especially true for a large family like the Feng family, which has a small population and is in urgent need of male heirs to continue its legacy.
For the second room, in my mother's words, Baoqin is just fine. After all, she is still young, but Baochai is just the right age, and her physique seems to be even more suitable for childbearing than Shen Yixiu. How come it has taken so long? No movement?
Welcome to the Spring Festival and we also face the same pressure.
She originally entered the family as a concubine. She has an honest and honest personality, which I like very much. Her physique is also very suitable for giving birth to a son. She has also been silent for so long. I am always an impatient person, and her words are indispensable. It means too much "concern".
Let alone welcoming the Spring Festival, even Baochai and Baoqin are still under great pressure.
Now I even have some ideas about Siqi.
Siqi is now just a maid, and even the identity of the maid is not clear. After all, she is only the personal maid of the concubine. Generally speaking, only the personal maid of the eldest wife and mistress is qualified to become a real person. A maid serving as a concubine, but a maid serving as a concubine must be approved by the eldest wife and mistress.
In my mind, Si Qi has undoubtedly the most fertile physique in the entire Feng family. He has **** and fat buttocks, and a strong body. Moreover, he is not like those maids who behave in a formal and elegant manner, although this does not suit everyone's image. , but for Duan, as long as she can give birth to a male heir of the Feng family, she doesn't care about the rest.
In a blink of an eye, my son married two wives and had four or five concubines, not counting the maids who were taken away from their houses. Why was there no movement?
They all said that their son was charming and charming outside, but there was no movement in the house. Mrs. Duan wanted to ask Feng Ziying if he had an outside wife. If so, there was no childbearing in the outside room. After all, Feng Ziying had no children outside. Having only one daughter was too hard to accept.
It is undoubtedly an inappropriate idea to make Siqi pregnant. With this girl's temperament, if she really wants to give birth to a son, the second wife will definitely have trouble. Carrying out a concubine is definitely necessary, and with the "eldest son" of the Feng family, Baochai will not go anywhere. Dare I say it, but if Baoqin's combat effectiveness is definitely increased, then the two families will not be able to live in peace.
It can also be heard from the Yingchun words that the relationship between the two sisters Baochai and Baoqin is not as close as imagined.
In fact, this was also expected by Feng Ziying.
With Baoqin’s character, even though Baochai is deep in the city and broad-minded, she still has orderly priorities, and even if she is a younger sister, she cannot go beyond the ethical standards.
This conflict between Lingguan and Ying'er is nothing more than a "proxy war" between Baoqin and Baochai.
If Baoqin really gets pregnant and gives birth to a baby first, it will really be a big trouble. Instead of that, Yingchun getting pregnant and giving birth to a baby first is an acceptable option for Baochai.
Yingchun used to be a little taboo and worried, but now she seems to understand this, so she becomes more and more anxious.
Extending from the second bedroom, Feng Ziying also thought that she would marry Daiyu in the second half of the year.
Although the Civil War had some impact, things like getting a wife still had to go according to plan, otherwise Daiyu would be really sad.
I don’t know if Miaoyu’s mentality has changed now, but the news I got from Zijuan seems that Miaoyu is still aloof, but her relationship with Daiyu is getting closer. It can only be said that Miaoyu is aloof and aloof. There has been a slight improvement, but to outsiders, it still tastes lukewarm.
There is also the matter of sex, which also needs to be considered.
Although the Jia family's case will definitely not be settled this year, Feng Ziying firmly believes that when the war comes to an end at the end of the year or even next year, the Jia family's case will probably come to an end along with other treason cases.
There may be several outcomes. Feng Ziying has also speculated. The most serious one is Jia Jing's side. That is considered the culprit. Losing his head is a high probability event.
If not, Jia She would be sent into exile. Jia Zheng might be deprived of all his status and sentenced to prison. However, a prison sentence of three to five years would be equivalent to being kicked off the dust and reduced to the bottom, but at least he would be spared the pain of exile. If Jia Zheng were She was exiled two thousand miles away, and I don't know if he can survive it at his age.
Tanchun is not young anymore. She will be eighteen or nineteen next year. She is considered an old girl. Even if she is a concubine, it will be a bit too old for someone else.
And how to bring Tan Chun in is also a problem. It cannot be said that Jia Zhenggang was deprived of his identity and sentenced to prison. He was a real prisoner, but he still wanted to take his daughter as a concubine. This would be an insult to the court. It must be To be punished.
What we can strive for is to have Jia Zheng receive dozens of canings and whippings, and then reduce his position to the people and never hire him. Although the caning sounds scary, it can be offset by money. This is also the rule of the court.
Before Tanchun left last night, he repeatedly begged himself to find a way to save others. This was also a problem. Jia Mu's body and bones were strong, and the other party's mentality was also very good, but after staying in this prison for a long time, at such an old age, I'm afraid it won't last too long.
Jia Mu's death has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have many emotional fluctuations, but to be honest, he has a good impression of Jia Mu.
Jia Mu is considered to have one of the best visions in the entire Jia family. Of course, limited by her own factors, she can only do this one step, so the destruction of the Jia family is inevitable.
It was just that it would take time and opportunity to save the remaining people, so he could only reassure Tanchun that the days would be long and he would take his time to figure it out.
While thinking, Feng Ziying finally felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
************
The Anfu merchant had been waiting in Beijing, and Feng Ziying finally took the time to meet him.
However, we got an unexpected surprise after meeting him. That is, the enthusiasm shown by Anfu merchants for relocating to Dongfang was stronger than Gu Dengfeng said, which greatly exceeded Feng Ziying's expectations.
After Feng Ziying asked again and again, she learned that the Anfu merchants' actions were greater than expected. They had now begun to cultivate at the north and south ends of Dongfan at the same time. They had now formed a positive interaction with the Fujian merchants who were developing salt fields in the west. The Anfu merchants along the As the southern tribes moved from the west coast to the north, they gradually began to get closer to the Fujian merchants in the western salt field area. The Fujian merchants now also began to take the initiative to quietly move people from Fujian into Dongfang. This would not only develop the salt field to a greater extent, but also strengthen the their own strength.
Of course, their relocation did not receive the consent of the court, so they could only blend in with the actions of the Anfu merchants. The representatives of the Anfu merchants also truthfully reported this to Feng Ziying. They did not want to destroy the trust of both parties on these small matters.
"So, you hope that the imperial court will formally establish a prefecture and county in Dongfan?" Feng Ziying said thoughtfully: "The problem is that you can only relocate 12,000 people, and they are located in the north and south. Well, you also need to add Fujian. To move in those one or two thousand people, the imperial court will set up prefectures and counties, which may require hundreds of officials, and since safety has not yet been guaranteed, the imperial court may not be willing to agree."
"Sir, there are still a large number of native people in the mountains of Dongfan. They live together in large groups. We and the Fujian people have all had contact with them. It is relatively peaceful, but they lack trust in us. In fact, they also know that we are across the sea from the Great Zhou Dynasty. , but have never dealt with the imperial court, so they are more inclined to trust the imperial government. If the imperial officials come forward, it may be more helpful to slowly absorb these natives. This will avoid various disputes that may arise, even if If disputes arise, the government can adjudicate them, and it can also prevent such disputes and conflicts from turning into wars. We don't want this kind of reclamation to turn into an endless war, which would be too uneconomical."
The attitude of the Anfu merchant representative is very straightforward, that is, it is more cost-effective in terms of economic interests to establish government governance.
Feng Ziying laughed and suddenly asked: "So, it seems that your reclamation in the north and south has gone very smoothly, and the harvest has exceeded expectations? Is it big wood or rice, otherwise you guys wouldn't be so eager."
The Anfu business representative was a little embarrassed, but after a moment's hesitation he admitted, "I dare not hide it from you. Both of these aspects are very profitable, so we want to seize the opportunity faster."
Seeing Feng Ziying's silence, the Anfu merchant representative added: "We also know that the imperial court is in some difficulties now, but time really waits for no one. I heard that the Red-haired Fan traveled between Japan and Batavia and repeatedly took a look at the Eastern Fan. If the imperial court cannot If you set up a government office as soon as possible, it will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Hongmao fan."
“You are good at talking, but it does make sense.” Feng Ziying finally nodded, “But to ask the imperial court to set up prefectures and counties so suddenly, especially during the period when the imperial court is still suppressing rebellion, we need an excuse..."
"Sir, we understand the current difficulties of the court. We would like to ask you to provide guidance and express our attitude. We are willing to undertake other development rights in Dongpan in the next ten years except for salt interests..." Anfu businessman representative finally tried his best. See.
"Logging? Gold mining? Fur goods?" Feng Ziying half-smiled, "You have a big appetite. This is not within the scope of your original reclamation. I remember that the court only approved your reclamation in the details of the plan signed by you. Farm soil and wood for self-use, excluding export, the gold mine only agreed to two locations..."
The Anfu merchant representative did not expect Feng Ziying to remember it so clearly. He secretly admired it and nodded repeatedly: "Because of this, we are willing to serve the imperial court again..."
“This is not called repayment, but paying royalties or resource taxes in accordance with the law...” Feng Ziying waved her hands and laughed.
The Anfu business representative also laughed, "Yes, yes, we are willing to pay the franchise fee, we are willing!"
