    You can search "Jia Lian of the Red Mansion" on Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    Jia Lian felt that this person who hated Japanese pirates so much must be a native of Fujian and Zhejiang. Jia Lian did not know that this person lived for a long time, so he guessed that he must have lived for a long time, otherwise he would not have these insights.

    Jia Lian wanted to ask him about his views on the war between the sea and the north.

    Xiong Shitou also seemed to have strong dissatisfaction with the northern nomads. He suggested that all steppe Tatars be detained and domesticated, so that they could learn to farm and not be allowed to nomadically hunt.  If more than 30 people gather, they must be grouped and isolated.

    Jia Lian asked why.  He said that the herdsmen are tough and will cause disaster in the long run.

    Xiong Shitou also suggested that the imperial court should not only accept foreign missionaries and introduce Western medical and teaching concepts, but also send scholars to study in the West to learn their advanced textile technology and firearms manufacturing technology.

    It¡¯s a pity that Jia Lian thinks that many of his thoughts are too contrary to common sense, so of course Jia Lian will not follow his nonsense.

    However, Jia Lian decided to recommend that the court introduce Western medicine because Jia Lian had personally witnessed that a missionary cured a child who occasionally caught a cold with boiled water.

    In addition, Jia Lian advised him to be pragmatic: "The governor can support what you said about introducing missionaries to learn Western art. We can pilot it in the coastal areas first and allow them to set up medical clinics in the coastal areas. When more people accept it, we can slowly  Promote it in the imperial court. Don¡¯t talk about the rest, such as sending troops to establish a country, from now on. This is not something you should consider. However, the governor has something to do right now, and maybe you can help. "

    Xiong Shitou saw that Jia Lian was timid and did not dare to agree to send troops to Fusang. He was very disappointed and felt that Jia Lian was wasting his title as a frontier official.  Suddenly I heard that Jia Lian had something to ask, so he became interested again: "I don't know what you want to ask me, but please don't have high hopes. I must have never been to Fujian and Zhejiang, so my experience is limited."

    Jia Lian smiled: "It's a matter of Fujian and Zhejiang. What crops do you think will be the most profitable in Fujian and Zhejiang in the future?"

    Xiong Shitou blurted out: "Of course it's tea and silk. Although the imperial court set up weaving yamen in Suzhou and Hangzhou, they only focused on silk and did not care about the cultivation of mulberry trees and the breeding of silkworms. They were just lying on the people.  Blood-sucking leeches.¡±

    Jia Lian raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what do you think we should do?"

    Xiong Shitou said: "The adults hold great power and can use their power to support farmers, ensure their rights and solve their worries."

    Jia Lian asked again: "What worries do you have?"

    "The worry is that you can't unconscionably lower prices just because of a good harvest of cocoons. If the cocoons are not harvested, taxes will be increased, forcing mulberry farmers to pawn their fields to buy land, or even sell their sons and daughters. Fujian and Zhejiang produce mulberry silk, and you can use the provincial government's  Reputation supports a weaving line in Fujian and Zhejiang, so that production, supply and marketing can be integrated, and there will be no need for farmers to worry about not being able to sell silk during a good harvest."

    "We can no longer dampen the enthusiasm of the mulberry farmers like now, suppressing them during good seasons, increasing taxes during disasters, and so harshly forcing them. Eventually, mulberry farmers will be overwhelmed and completely collapse. In the end, it is the imperial court that will suffer the most.  "

    Jia Lian nodded: "What about tea? What do you know about it?"

    "The most popular tea in Fujian and Zhejiang is Longjing. My lord, while you are sending people to plant a large number of Longjing tea in Fujian and Zhejiang, you are also sending people to deliver gifts to wealthy families in Kyoto to seduce their interest. However, you must remember that each household only gives gifts  One or two, two or two, and more than that will make it worthless. Giving it away for one or two years can arouse the spirit of comparison among wealthy families, and this Longjing will become more valuable."

    Jia Lian chuckled: "No matter how valuable it is, it doesn't matter. The real Longjing is only one or two kilograms. It's hard to buy for a thousand gold, but it's only two thousand gold. For the entire economy of Fujian and Zhejiang, it's just drizzle!"

    "Don't worry, the authentic Longjing is only the one next to Longquan, but we can artificially cultivate many Longjing teas."

    Jia Lian was surprised: "How to cultivate Longjing? There is only one view of Longquan?"

    "Actually, Longjing tea can be grown hundreds of miles around Longquan, but the taste is a little different. You can nationalize the land within ten miles of Longquan and recruit experienced tea farmers to grow Longjing tea. Then use Longquan water to irrigate these tea gardens.  , when watering, you can also water it from the inside out, layer by layer. You can also mark the circles, divided into No. 1 Longjing and No. 2 Longjing. Can you say that the tea trees watered by these Longquan water are not called Longjing tea?  ? In this case, tell me, how much Longjing tea should I have?"

    Jia Lian can be sure at this moment that Xiong Shitou was definitely not a member of the officialdom in his previous life, otherwise he would not be so outspoken.

    Seeing that he was full of goodwill towards himself, Jia Lian believed in cause and effect.  As long as Xiong Shi has good intentions, Jia Lian is happy to support him and become a high official.

    Jia Lian waved: "Stone, don't you?"nbsp; Feng Ziying frowned: "How long will it take to get my money back?"

    Jia Yunyan said: "Three years, you will make money after the fourth year, and your tea garden is still there, you just signed a contract and handed over this tea garden to me to manage it for you. This is when I am in office, when I and the second  When I leave office, I will handle it for you. If you are willing to continue to cooperate with the government, that's fine. If you are not willing, we can separate the tea garden for you, and you can collect and sell tea by yourself every year."

    Feng Ziying sneered and raised her hand to hit Jia Yun: "I'm going to hit you, sell tea myself, and I'm going to get tea, am I sick?"

    Immediately, Feng Ziying and the other two people left: "Let's go back and discuss it with the boss, just wait!"

    That night, Jia Yun rested in the Daylily Garden of Rongguo Mansion.

    As a result, Feng Ziying came with his daughter-in-law Jia Yingchun, Wei Ruolan led his wife Shi Xiangyun, and Jia Rong Jia Qiang from next door came with Youshi Keqing Yinglian.

    Everyone came to support Jia Yun¡¯s career, and of course they also wanted to leave an inheritance to their descendants.

    Feng Ziying spent 30,000 taels of silver to welcome the spring and bought a thousand acres of tea garden.

    Yinglian Jiarong also has thirty thousand taels and one thousand acres of tea garden.

    Youshi gave out six thousand taels.

    Jia Qiang Keqing also paid three thousand taels.

    Jia Yun was inviting everyone to enjoy tea, and Tanchun also came. She came alone, and she invested nine thousand taels.

    Tanchun's eyes were a little red and swollen: "This is my dowry, you write my maiden name."

    Everyone knows this. When Tanchun gave birth to a daughter, her mother-in-law immediately hired a good concubine for her son.  Just a few days ago, my concubine was diagnosed with Ximai.

    Her husband seemed to have fallen in love with his concubine, and since then, in order to show his loyalty, he no longer entered Tanchun's house.

    Therefore, Tanchun went to the palace to cry to Yu Liuyue. For the sake of the stability of her natal family, Yu Liuyue sent her nanny to the Yu family to warn the concubine that if she dared to instigate the family again and make the family uneasy, she would be sent to the temple after she was born.

    Tanchun is no longer a widow now. Although the couple now have sex on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, they are just sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams.

    Tanchun now just wants to have a son to gain a foothold, and at the same time keep his money tight, and invest to leave a way out for his daughter.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
