Chapter 1018: Sun Family (Part 1)

The promotion of this new crop is not a matter of one sentence or two. There is also a state machine, but it is not Cao Yong's turn to do it himself.

A few years ago, corn and sweet potatoes were tried in Henan Prefecture, and Xuan'er was promoted. This time, corn and sweet potatoes were promoted in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the seeds needed must be raised from Henan Prefecture.

Yongzheng issued an order, ordering local officials to exchange corn and sweet potatoes for the millet in the official warehouse. He was afraid that local officials would disturb the people in order to disturb the political achievements, so they set the exchange ratio, one pound of millet and one pound of corn or three pounds of sweet potatoes.

At the same time, the capital was not brought down. Yongzheng set up an official farm in Tongzhou for breeding corn and sweet potatoes, and ordered Cao Yong to supervise the matter.

Although corn and sweet potatoes are not well-known to the rich, they are occasionally planted by farmers in the suburbs of Beijing. Especially since the planting near Caojiazhuang in Changping is relatively concentrated, it is naturally due to the influence of Cao Yong.

Although the Cao family has a well land, this field is mostly dominated by hills and slopes, and the north has been drought for nine years, so the crop yield was not high.

Later, in the past two years, Cao Yongdingyou often paid attention to farming, especially on the two crops of corn and sweet potato, and opened several experimental fields around the farm, and the yield was quite abundant.

When the farmers in the farm saw it, they changed crops such as corn and sweet potatoes one after another. Even if the years are not good, they will not use rice to buy them with their owners to survive the famine.

Nowadays, the Ministry of Revenue collects seeds, and Cao Yong has nothing to hide his own personal information, so he directly sent people to Changping to harvest them.

Millets are millets that have not peeled off, and they can be regarded as fine grains in coarse grains. For one pound of corn to exchange for one pound of millet, the farmers are only happy, and they wish they would not even keep the seeds and change them all.

Therefore, in less than ten days, more than 70,000 kilograms of corn in the capital and 36,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes were raised.

Cao Yong asked several agricultural officials who had been in the past to choose 50,000 kilograms of corn and 30,000 kilograms of sweet potato seeds from these corn and sweet potato seeds.

The remaining corn and potatoes were directly entered into the inner warehouse.

Spring farming is about to be imminent, and it is not delayed. As the official in charge of this matter, Cao Yong was forced to take a few officials and travel to the Guanzhuang of Tongzhou.

Corn requires five kilograms of seeds per mu, and sweet potatoes require two hundred kilograms of seeds per mu.

The seeds raised by Cao Yong in Changping can sow 10,000 acres of corn and 2,500 acres of sweet potatoes. By the time these seeds are distributed to farmers and the sowing is over, it is already the end of February.

Cao Yong was in Tongzhou, but he was concerned about the news in Beijing.

Yongzheng dismissed and confiscated a large number of officials on the grounds of pursuing the loss. At this time, compared with those high-ranking officials and those who were once prominent, the Li family in Suzhou did not appear eye-catching.

Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In addition to the thunderous means of dismissal from office and raiding his home, Yongzheng also promoted the title of several Mongolian princes who led troops to support the imperial court's army in the west; internally, he was in the side branch of Prince Jiaenlizhuang's mansion.

Although the title of Prince Hui was not restored, he chose the eldest son Qiulin, the eldest son of Prince Hui, who was honest and decent, to be named Dorobel among the descendants of Prince Hui, and gave him all the subordinates of Prince Hui.

In this way, they were justified in exalting the glory of their ancestors, and then talking to Prince Zhuang’s mansion, which was actually a bad name and a bad word.

By the time Cao Yong returned to the capital, Sun Wencheng had already arrived in the capital with his family for several days.

He was lucky, but he was dismissed from office with a "just careful work". The deficit found in the weaving yamen was only more than 8,000 taels. When he headed north from Hangzhou, he had already filled the deficit.

These days, the number of officials dismissed for losing money and grain is involved in the interests of the major powers and nobles in the capital.

At first, there were still people waiting and watching, and they did not dare to touch the new emperor's edge. Later, the number of officials involved was huge, and some people had the idea of ​​"not ruling the public" and wanted to make up for the shortcomings and continue to seek re-employment of their original positions, so they walked around.

Within a few days, it was heard by Yongzheng and issued an order to the Ministry of Personnel. In order to avoid causing harm to the people, officials dismissed were not allowed to remain in office and pursue them, but ordered them to return them with their family property. If the deficit was completed, there would be good officials and outstanding political achievements, and the governor and other supervisors would report it.

Because the Sun family first arrived in the capital, Cao Yong, who could speak well, was not the capital, so Sun Wencheng stayed in the door and seemed much more honest than others.

In order to solve the problem of empty treasury, Yongzheng used thunderous means, but he was also nervous, afraid that he would affect his whole body with one blow.

After all, administration was a big problem. During the period of the late emperor, even if he knew the disadvantages, he was involved too much and did not dare to make drastic rectification.

Sun Wencheng's honesty was just in line with Yongzheng's thoughts. However, now it is time to check the deficit, so it is difficult to go back on its word and make Sun Wencheng recover.

Others don’t know about his thoughts. Everyone thinks he is “a king and a minister”. The Sun family has become a flower yesterday. Friends and old friends should avoid them.

Sun Wencheng was cautious all his life and ended up being dismissed from office and was heartbroken. He was exhausted when he went north in a hurry.

The eldest son was born and his father had no hope in his career, and most of them were unable to become talented. Although he had the eldest grandson, his son was not able to bear it before, and his grandson lived in separate houses with his daughter-in-law. Although he is in the same place, he still wonders if their mother and son would blame the Sun family.

Although he couldn't say that he had turned white overnight, in just one and a half months, Sun Wencheng was over ten years old and his body was hunched over.

An was worried and worried about his family's livelihood.

Although Sun Wencheng had been in the Weaving Industry in Hangzhou for nearly twenty years, he did not have much savings because he was careful. Many brothers and relatives joined other places, and they spent a lot of money.

Even if I have bought several shops and two small shops in Hangzhou, it is not worth much money. I lost a little while to sell them temporarily, and the money I got was only more than 10,000 taels of silver.

To make up for the deficit that the Weaver Mansion had several years ago, the Sun family had only a few thousand taels of silver left.

The twenty-alky small village in the suburbs of the capital was named in Cao Ying's name as early as the 58th year of the Kangxi reign, when Sun Jue and Cao Ying separated from each other, and the house was also named Sun Li, the grandson of the Sun family. Because Sun Jue sold his wife's dowry, he was named in Cao Ying.

Although Cao Ying was still polite and treated her in-laws as usual, An was completely uncomfortable.

Because the size of the house here is limited, Sun Wenqian did not squeeze in with his brother and sister-in-law, and had already rented a second yard to accommodate his wife and children.

Despite this, it is not spacious for a family to live in a three-entry house. In addition to Sun Jue's house, Sun Wencheng's second son, Sun Jin's family, and the three sons and one daughter who had not married.

Sun Wencheng has seven sons and three daughters, the eldest daughter, the eldest son, and the third son. The fifth son is born in the An family, and the other four sons and two daughters are born in vain. Among them, the eldest daughter died of illness after getting married, and the third son, four sons and the second daughter died young. Only six people grew up, and they are all around Sun Wencheng.

Although An felt sorry for the eldest grandson, he also spoiled the younger grandson class.

She agreed so generously to give the capital Xiaozhuang to Changsun's name, thinking that she only had two legitimate sons left, the capital's property was given to Chang'an and Hangzhou's property was given to Sunban, which was also cheaper.

Unexpectedly, now that the Hangzhou industry has been sold and added to the deficit of the yamen, the Sun family is in the capital, and the only future is the small village with twenty hectares of land.

"Master, there is no separation, and there is no reason to subscribe the property of the public to a child... The fifth brother wants to be close, the sixth brother and the seventh brother also want to study, and there are places where money is spent everywhere... And this house is clearly from the Sun family, so what's the matter with the wife?" An was unwilling to accept it, and he muttered to her husband.

If Sun Wencheng’s biggest hope is now, it is the exam-taking of the eldest grandson Sun Li.

Although he was sad, he still covered up his anxiety and told Changsun not to worry about trivial matters at home and to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

After decades of marriage, Sun Wencheng could not know what she was thinking after hearing his wife's words.

"What are you talking about in the past? If you complain, just ask Sun Jue to settle the score? If he hadn't spent all his wife's dowry, he wouldn't have to make up for it. So what if the village belongs to Sun Li's name? The wife has handed over her last year's future to you, so you can just settle down!" Sun Wencheng frowned.

An You was dissatisfied and muttered, "What should I do in that group? What should I do with my wife?"

Seeing her obsession, Sun Wen felt her temples beating and stroking her forehead, "Shut up! Sun Jue's virtue has hurt his wife's heart. Now his wife still knows that being filial to you and me is already a blessing for the Sun family. You insist on making trouble and breaking the Cao family's marriage?"

An was so aggrieved that An was yelled, but he didn't dare to say much, and he just complained in his heart.

The couple were cold-faced when they saw the little maid coming in to report that the visitor from the front yard and the uncle of the Cao family had arrived.

When An heard this, his eyes lit up.

Several uncles of the Cao family are all officials, and Cao Yong is also a hero of the prince. An knows whether her husband can recover depends on whether the Cao family is willing to help.

After hearing this, Sun Wencheng also showed a bit of anticipation on his face and quickly walked to the front yard to meet the guests.

Front yard, living room.

Cao Yong sat on a chair and looked at the celadon bowl in his hand. He returned to Beijing yesterday. After the Ministry of Revenue explained his job, he looked for Cao Song and asked about the Sun family.

Cao Yong was very impressed by knowing that Sun Wencheng had not visited relatives and friends these days, but just stayed away.

It is not without reason that the Sun family was able to escape from the Hangzhou weaving mission.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the movement and saw Sun Wencheng stepping in. Cao Yong quickly stood up and said, "Nephew, please feel free to cousin!"

These days, he has been busy in the farm and is so thin that he is so thin.

Sun Wencheng had seen him several times, and he looked like a handsome young man. Now seeing him like this, he was stunned and helped him sit down.

A few days ago, although Cao Yong was not in Beijing, when the Sun family moved to the house, Cao Song brought his servants to help, so Sun Wencheng would not misunderstand the Cao family's snobbery.

Compared with the Li family whose family property was seized and whose son and his servants were imprisoned, the Sun family is already much lucky.

"I heard that you have been working hard for the Li and Sun families a few days ago. Thank you for your hard work." Sun Wencheng sighed and said.

Seeing that he thanked him sincerely, Cao Yong felt a little embarrassed.

The so-called running around was just to eat tea at the Thirteenth Prince's mansion twice, Xunyuko and the Sixteenth Prince said twice.

"It's all my nephew." Cao Yong said humbly.

"Just do your best. Just wait for the emperor's will. Don't involve the Cao family. You must always protect your family before you can support and watch." Sun Wenchengdao.
