Chapter 1917 Ren Zijuan The husband sings and the wife follows, and the love is deep
“What about the second one?” Feng Ziying asked with a smile and no comment.
"The second is actually similar to the first. The Feng family is a big family in the border area, and the same is true for my mother-in-law's Duan family. Shanshan and Shaanxi are integrated, and they have more or less contacts. The generals of the border towns have the experience of communicating with each other in Sanbian and Xuanda. , the situation is relatively familiar and understood, and with the support of the border town warriors, many things will be much easier to handle." Shen Yixiu said in a deep voice.
Feng Ziying nodded in approval. This was also his biggest reliance. When he went to Shaanxi, the generals of the three towns and four towns would definitely be able to talk to him. With the support of the military, many things that were difficult to handle in many places would not be a problem. Son.
“Is there a third one?” Feng Ziying asked again.
"Of course there is. My husband has experience in epidemic prevention, and has the courage and coping experience to steer the overall situation in a chaotic situation. This is also something that all the guilds in the DPRK will seriously consider." Shen Yixiu was even more energetic, and felt very proud. He felt, "The current situation in Shaanxi must be very bad. It is difficult for the local government to coordinate and respond to the situation. Even the officials do not have the courage and determination. A powerful person like my husband is needed to turn the tide."
Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing, "Wan Jun, are you that good as a husband? You really have full confidence in your husband."
"Why do you need to be so humble? I'm just speaking truthfully." Shen Yixiu said seriously: "There may be many capable ministers in the court, but there are only a handful of people who really have such suitable conditions. Even this is just for Xianggong. It is difficult for others to succeed if you build it, but the chance of being married is several times greater."
Feng Ziying retracted her hand, took the hot towel handed over by Yun Shang, wiped her cheeks, and said softly: "I hope so. It's too early to say this now. Master Qi and the others may still be in a state of panic." We have to wait for a more detailed report on the situation in Shaanxi before we can make a decision."
But Shen Yixiu shook his head: "If Mr. Xian believes that he may take on this important task, he should prepare as early as possible. Going to Shaanxi is no different than going to Yongping Mansion to be an official or going to Jiangnan. The things you have to face are much more difficult and complicated. Talents, materials, and money must be arranged as early as possible, and you can even consider taking action now. Otherwise, when you arrive in Shaanxi, your eyes will be dark and your hands are empty. How can you quickly open up the situation, show results, and establish your authority? This is I’m afraid that’s what the court wants to see.”
I have to say that Shen Yixiu is far from being comparable to Baochai and Daiyu in this aspect. The reason why a good wife is a good wife is not just as simple as her attitude to support herself, but more importantly, she can provide herself with many useful suggestions, so that she can Benefit.
"Well, what the good wife said is true. I have learned from my husband." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "I will arrange this as soon as possible. Even if I really don't go to Shaanxi, I will collect information about the relevant situation and even provide some support. It also needs to be valuable and meaningful.”
Shen Yixiu was still a little emotional about her husband's attitude.
She is quite curious about some of her husband's attitudes towards court affairs and money. Many times they seem more like contradictions, but her husband always seems to be able to find reasonable reasons to explain or deal with them.
Like the original policy of opening up the sea, this was obviously beneficial to the south of the Yangtze River and not good to the north, so it aroused strong opposition from the scholars in the north, and even affected the husband himself, who had to avoid Yongping Mansion. , which even made many people suspect that their husband had betrayed Beidi.
However, her husband opened Gangyuguan in Yongping Prefecture, developed coal and iron ore, and built iron and smelting workshops, ordnance workshops, and later cement factories. Not only did the use of coal and coal quickly spread in Yongping, but also iron and cement quickly became The flagship products of Yongping Prefecture are sold well in the north and south. In addition, by winning over the Inner Karka Mongols and Haixi Jurchens on the grasslands, and giving full play to the advantages of Yuguan's opening of the port, Yongping Prefecture quickly became a major maritime trade center in the North. To Shuntian Prefecture After that, it promoted the establishment of the Gyeonggi Coal, Iron and Military Industrial Complex, and Zunhua and Miyun quickly became new coal, iron and military industrial bases. It also promoted the opening of the Dagu Port in Tianjin, making Dagu and Yuguan become the Northland The two most important sea trade ports.
Many people did not realize it before, but after the confrontation between the north and the south took shape, the imperial court discovered how important the opening of Yuguan and Dagu Ports was to the Gyeonggi after the water transportation was interrupted. Dagu is an important choke point for material supply, and Dagu is increasingly becoming the core of maritime trade in the entire Gyeonggi region, and even has a tendency to overwhelm Tongzhou.
It was obviously a strategy to open up the sea that won unanimous praise from the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, but it also led to the rapid development of Yongping Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture in the North, and it also won the full support of the most important force in the North - the merchants of Shanxi and Shaanxi, because She benefited greatly from it. Shen Yixiu did not mention one of the advantages of her husband going to Shaanxi before. In fact, it was the backing of Shanxi businessmen.
It can be said that without the financial support of businessmen from Shanxi and Shaanxi, it would be difficult for anyone to go to Shaanxi now. The only person who can win the full support of businessmen from Shanxi and Shaanxi is the husband, because the husband has used his various performances in recent years to make Shanxi businessmen They have an inexplicable admiration and trust for their husbands, just like the Anfu businessmen who developed Dongfan respect their husbands.
All in all, the feeling given to Shen Yixiu is that although her husband is not the kind of honest and upright civil servant who is purely public-minded and forgets his own interests, he values official affairs more than others. He even feels that if he is a public servant, he can give up everything else. , but this feeling is difficult to put into words.
The couple went to bed, and Feng Ziying and Shen Yixiu also hugged each other and fell asleep, chatting.
"If my husband is going to Shaanxi, he must be accompanied by someone. I will ask Qingwen to accompany me to serve in my room. The third sister will probably follow my husband, right?" Shen Yixiu rested his head on her husband's shoulder, " What about the Lin family’s marriage in the second half of the year?”
This is also a thorny issue. Feng Ziying is not sure how long he can work in Shaanxi if he really goes to Shaanxi.
The governor does not have a term of office, and it can be half a year or three years, depending on the situation. However, given the current situation in Shaanxi, it is difficult to return within a year and a half, so Daiyu's marriage will be a bit troublesome.
"Well, I'm also considering this matter, either advance it or postpone it." Feng Ziying said thoughtfully: "If it is advanced, it will seem a bit hasty. The marriage will have to be done within a month at the latest, but it can be postponed. What happens after that is even more unpredictable, maybe one year, maybe two years, or maybe I come back in the middle to get married? But I don’t know if the situation allows it or not.”
Shen Yixiu thought for a while and then said: "If possible, it would be best to do it in advance. Daiyu may have been looking forward to it for a long time, and delaying it may make her sad and disappointed."
Feng Ziying also understands this truth. If it is postponed, Daiyu may not be able to accept it, and the key is that she doesn’t know how long it will be postponed, it could be a year or two.
"That's right. Let me ask here. If you really want me to go to Shaanxi, then the wedding must be arranged immediately." Feng Ziying hugged Shen Yixiu, "There is also another big thing. Tong Niang is also over a year old, and it seems that Wan Jun should consider the next child for her husband."
Shen Yixiu felt her husband's hands caressing and searching around her waist, and her dimples were hot. However, she thought that her husband might be leaving for Shaanxi in a month or two, and she didn't know how long this separation would last. She was so emotionally moved that she naturally could not help it. The husband took off his inner clothes, and they had sex, and they were silent all night.
Once such an intention was determined, Feng Ziying no longer hesitated. She immediately discussed with Daiyu and tried to arrange the wedding in advance and let Daiyu come through. On the other hand, she also arranged for Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing to immediately go to Shaanxi. to understand the situation.
Shaanxi originally had a governor. The former governor of Shaanxi, Yun Guang, was also a famous scholar in the North. During the Ningxia rebellion, he was captured together with the Shi family at the time due to corruption and dereliction of duty. This caused a great stir among the scholars in the North. of vibration.
So far, Shaanxi has never had a governor, and the governor itself is not a regular one. Therefore, daily affairs are naturally handled by the three departments of the Provincial Envoy Department, the Provincial Envoy Department, and the Dusi Department. However, Shaanxi is located in a border area, and all four towns are in it. In Shaanxi, the people are poor and the land is barren. In recent years, it has been ravaged by drought and locust plagues. After the Ningxia rebellion, the region was hit hard. Although the court also provided some relief afterwards, it was only a drop in the bucket. So the situation has been bad.
Nowadays, the refugee rebellion is in full swing after the severe drought, and the spread of pimple plague has made the situation in Shaanxi even more serious. Some officials are afraid of it. They are so afraid of being sent to Shaanxi on official business that they dare not mention it more. Mention the situation in Shaanxi.
It’s just that such a covert situation cannot be concealed from others. Not to mention "Today's News", some other newspapers and periodicals also report on the situation in Shaanxi. Even if it is very subtle, it also indicates that the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi is not good.
Qi Yongtai has not responded yet, but Feng Ziying has a hunch that she will probably not be able to escape from this matter, so it is inevitable to prepare early.
The merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi need to act quickly. Their mobility in this area is stronger than that of the imperial court.
In addition, I have to write a letter to my father and ask my father to say hello to the military commanders who are staying on the three sides. If necessary, I, the governor, may really need military and political control.
