Duko, to borrow the words of modern people, is a very professional man, but he has his own principles. The incident between the Wei family and the Yang family back then really made many people feel ashamed. Du Ke has never commented on this matter, but he does not agree with the Wei family's practice. But on the surface, no one dared to say anything. After all, the Wei family is allegiance to the current emperor, who dares to not belong to the Wei family? Isn't this a slap in the face of the current emperor?

Du Ke did not expect that the little girl who was kneeling inside him now could say such a thing. Yang Haiyan is a person who came out of Mrs. Yang's house. If she recognized the Wei family, she would come to a circle like the capital, and she would indeed leave a story behind. However, the Wei family didn't think about this, only seeing that Yang Haiyan was doing well now, they came to recognize the kinship. Dooku smiled and shook his head. "Get up and talk."

Yang Haiyan got up.

Du Ke said: "You are a smart woman. It's really good to be able to think of right and wrong in that situation, and the relationship between pros and cons. I don't dislike women's intelligence. I have two daughters in my family, a direct daughter and a concubine, no matter what. Whether it's a direct daughter or a concubine, they rarely talk to me. They didn't talk about it before they got married, let alone after they got married. But I didn't expect that when I was approaching middle age, a goddaughter would talk to me like this." Dot, two daughters see him, like a mouse sees a cat.

Yang Haiyan was stunned, did Du Ke agree with him?

Du Ke said again: "Tell me, why would you think of using your wife as a shield under such circumstances?" Du Ke's tone was not blaming, but just curious.

Yang Haiyan was honest in front of Du Ke, and she didn't dare to play any scheming, so she said truthfully: "You have accepted my father-in-law as a student, and the relationship between the Qin family and you has been settled, whether I recognize Shi Niang as a foster mother or not, In the eyes of outsiders, it will not damage the relationship between you and your husband. Therefore, although this is just an excuse to reject the Wei family, it has no effect on the Du family. But if I recognize the Wei family as a relative, it is equal to the Qin family and the Wei family. With a relative, and you are your husband's teacher, the Du family and the Wei family are also likely to be involved.

Honestly, the main reason is my own. I don't agree with the Wei family's way of doing things, and... I think you will help me admit this, so... I am bold. "

"Hahaha..." Du Ke laughed, "You are indeed very bold. However, your boldness is also within my expectations. Although I am surprised by your quick reaction, I am not surprised by your temperament. "

Yang Haiyan was slightly stunned.

Du Ke said: "I never think of a woman who can think of the military camp's field policy, saltpeter making ice, joining agents, etc. as an ordinary woman."

Yang Haiyan is a little embarrassed. Is Du's words a compliment?

"Okay, come in, what are you doing stomping outside?" Duke shouted towards the door.

Qin Fang smiled and walked in: "I'm not seeing you Zhuojing have something to say, so I'll come in later."

Yang Haiyan did not expect that Qin Fang went out on purpose.

Du Ke snorted: "It's all playing with me one by one. But this is the end of the matter, so let's decide. I will write a letter to your wife, congratulations to her for accepting a righteous daughter, you hairpin. I have to lend it to me, and I will ask her to prepare another hairpin of the same type."

Yang Haiyan took off the hairpin: "This hairpin was given by Mrs. Yonghe Hou Shizi, and this is my first time wearing it. I thought that Wei Ting would not be able to see the pattern. Make some changes, or I will be embarrassed to talk about this when I see Mrs. Shizi in the future."

Du Ke nodded: "I have counted." He took the hairpin in front of Qin Fang. Although the generations were different, there were still differences between men and women. In front of Qin Fang, there would be no misunderstanding, "Let's Tell me about the joining, the specific things, what do you think, and then analyze and analyze with me."

Qin Fang said, "Yanyan has to tell me about this."

Duco: "I never counted on you." Otherwise, why would you invite them as a husband and wife?

Qin Fang shut up, he found that the teacher loves to slap people.

Yang Haiyan smiled, she could see that Du Ke liked Qin Fang very much, otherwise Du Ke and Qin Fang would not be so free and easy to get along with. "Teacher, my plan is like this, we will hold a franchise meeting in each house in the name of the emperor, and then let them bid on the list of selected households, and then we will choose the one with the highest franchise fee, this is the first Step 2. The second step has nothing to do with us, but is related to the winning bidder.

There are several counties under each mansion, and it is impossible for the winning bidder to go to each county to manage it, so the winning bidder can set up an agent in the county..."

They discussed this discussion from the morning to noon, and did not discuss the matter until before lunch. Du Ke is very interested in joining, bidding, and acting as mentioned by Yang Haiyan. He has to say that he can't see some parts clearly just by reading the plan, but Yang Haiyan's explanation makes it clearer.

The first step of this plan is to set up a commodity label. The name of the commodity label is Huangliang, and there is a name at the bottom right of the word Huangliang, which is the emperor's own character, Yuan Xiang.

That is to say, this commodity is marked with a four-character word, imperial grain and yuan detail. These four characters were written by the emperor himself. After they were written, they were engraved by the Ministry of Works into a seal, and they were brought by Du Ke.

In the second step, the successful family will get such a commodity label, and the county merchants who have successfully acted as agents will also have such a commodity label hanging at the door of the store, that is to say, if there is no such commodity label, it is impossible to sell potato flour and Sweet potato flour, otherwise it is illegal.

No one dares to carve a product label with the emperor's word. This is a serious crime of beheading. Who dares?

Therefore, the emperor's brand is the best to use.

After lunch, Du Ke, Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan began to discuss the next thing.

The first test point of this plan is Renzhou. Renzhou has six prefectures, while Yunxiang County is in Hedongfu, and the franchisee of Hedongfu is the Qin family. Then, there are still five prefectures in Renzhou, and Du Ke needs to summon the prefects of other prefectures in Renzhou to come to Yunxiang County to discuss this matter. Of course, the prefect of Hedong Mansion also had to inform him, so the six prefects had to come to Yunxiang County.

Du Ke: "The place to entertain the six prefects should be arranged at the Yunxiang County Post Station."

Qin Fang said: "The inn has been renovated and can live in. I will greet the county magistrate Yang, and the county government will arrange the reception."

Du Ke is not worried about this, what he is worried about is: "Take Renzhou's six houses as an example, because Hedong House is you, there is no need to worry about the candidates to join, but there are five remaining houses, and each house has to choose someone. It is not so easy to find a good quality. If there are several suitable households, it is almost a bidding process. As a result, it will take more than half a month for each prefecture. We have 120 prefectures in our country, and this one hundred and two If all the ten houses come down, Qin Fang and Bingyun, how long will it take you to do the math?"

Qin Fang began to forget it silently.

Yang Haiyan said, "Twenty-four households a year, wouldn't that take five years?"

Du Ke was slightly surprised: "Bingyun's arithmetic is good?"

Qin Fang proudly said: "Yanyan is responsible for the accounts of the barracks, but now Yanyan is teaching Shouye, and will be in charge of Shouye in the future. The accounts made by Yanyan are very easy to understand, and people like me who don't understand arithmetic are also in charge. It's clear at a glance."

Yang Haiyan immediately said: "It's the husband who thinks everything is good when he sees me, but I'm not so good."

In the past, Qin was placed in front of Du Ke, and he was still called Jing Zhuojing. Now according to Du Ke's meaning, Yang Haiyan and Mrs. Du's dry relationship are recognized, so Du Ke is also a foster father to Yang Haiyan. When he became his own, Qin Fang was not so polite and called Yanyan directly.

Du Ke still knows a little bit about Qin Fang. Qin Fang said yes, it must be good. Qin Fang has one advantage, that is, he doesn't speak big words. Therefore, Du Ke curiously said: "Go and show me the accounts of the military camp." Really want to see.

Qin Fang got up: "I'll get it now."

Yang Haiyan: "..." She felt that Qin Fang was a little rough.

Du Ke said: "Don't worry about him. Bingyun, a franchise plan takes five years. This old man doesn't have five years to spend on it. At most two years, do you have a solution?" Although Du Ke asked this way, he already knew in his heart. After all, he just tried Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan didn't judge the purpose of Du Ke's question. In front of a good official, she was willing to introduce modern knowledge, just like when she was at the frontier, she knew through the novel that the character of the Yonghe Hou family was trusted. , so she dared to take out the soap recipe.

Yang Haiyan thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea: "Teacher, am I your deputy?"

Du Ke was taken aback, Yang Haiyan's answer was really unexpected to him. "How do you say that?"

Yang Haiyan said: "I...I want to go to different places with you to participate in this event. I...I grew up in Beijing, I was married from Beijing to Border Pass when I was sixteen, and at the age of eighteen this year, I went to Border Pass with my husband. When I came to Yunxiang County, I...I want to go to the whole country to see the great rivers and mountains of our country. Teacher, I know that in the eyes of many people, women should be husbands and children, confined to the back house, but... But I hope that one day, when I have children, I can proudly tell them how big and beautiful the rivers and mountains of our country are. I can proudly tell them that I have walked every inch of the land of Qiguo. No..." Yang Haiyan's voice gradually disappeared, she felt that she was a little bit whimsical, in ancient times, which woman could be so lucky?

Du Ke has long known that Yang Haiyan is a strange woman, and should not use the thoughts of ordinary women to control her and measure her, so he did not immediately object to Yang Haiyan's remarks. After a while, he said: "You should discuss this matter with Qin Fang." If Qin Fang has no objections, although he is a teacher, he is also an outsider, so why fight against it?

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she was very surprised: "Don't you object? Don't you think women should be confined to the inner courtyard of the back house?"

Du Ke rarely talked about his personal affairs, which he had never said to anyone: "Speaking of which, this old man has never thought about this issue. Since the old man was born, he has been enlightened, studied, taken the imperial examination, and became an official in the court. Every step is orderly, so I never thought about what to do with women? The only thing I thought about... Probably three times.

The first time was when the old lady asked the old man to marry your adoptive mother. The old man thought about how this woman was. The second time, it was the old man's direct daughter, that is, when your eldest sister was about to get married, the old man thought about what kind of man her character would be suitable for. The third time was when the old husband and his concubine were about to get engaged... The old man really had no opinion on how to position a woman. "This topic is a bit new. Women are indeed confined to the back house at the moment, but..." You grew up in the capital, so you should know that there are also women in the capital who are not limited to the back house. Those poetry clubs , Poetry, there are people who hold it every year, and there are also women who hold it. Can those women be confined in the back house?

Therefore, it is not the man, but the woman herself that decides whether a woman is confined to the back house. Bingyun, what do you think? "

Yang Haiyan was stunned for a moment, and finally, after thinking about Du Ke's words, she suddenly realized: "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance." She understood and wanted to understand.

For a long time, when she came to this world through books, she asked herself how to live here according to the standards of ancient women. For example, ancient women did a small business, and then taught their husbands and children, etc. She lived like this while fishing. . But after listening to Du Ke's words, she woke up, which is obviously how most ancient women lived.

But there is still a small part that is not, and it is you who decides how to live, not with the crowd.

Once in ancient times, if she had been confined to the back house from the age of sixteen to sixty-six, or if she lived a little longer to eighty-six, she could not imagine what would happen in the future. There are still fifty years, even seventy years, and her life has just begun. She wants to go to such a standard for the standard of ancient women, does she want to do such a standard?

That obviously doesn't work. Otherwise, wouldn't this life be wasted in vain?

She decided that when she and Qin Fang had sex, she would tell Qin Fang that she was going to travel. When there is no child, she can still play happily once, and when she has a child, she will... She travels with the child?

Qin Fang still didn't know his daughter-in-law's thoughts like this. He came back with the account of the military camp: "Teacher..."

Du Ke took the ledger and didn't read it right away: "Just now we discussed how to complete five years in two years. Bingyun said that he wanted to go with me to various prefectures to be my deputy to do this. Qin Fang, you What do you think?"

Qin Fang opened his mouth to look at Du Ke, and then at Yang Haiyan. At this moment, he only had one thought: "Then what should I do?"

Yang Haiyan was a little surprised by Qin Fang's answer. Yang Haiyan thought he would object, but unexpectedly, his answer was what should he do.

Yang Haiyan thought for a while: "Why don't you join me?" Yunxiang County really has nothing to do, and with Yang Xiaowei and Lu Xiaowei there, you can rest assured when guarding the city. So it's okay for Qin Fang to leave for some time. However, if the general defending the city does not have the imperial mandate, he cannot leave the county at will. Of course, if you are going to a place like Linxian, it is okay to leave for a few days, but if you go too far, it is not acceptable. Otherwise, once an accident occurs in the county seat, the general defending the city will be held responsible.

Qin Fang was heartbroken. After he started his military service at the age of sixteen, he has not had a good rest. Even after five years of military service, there is a one-month vacation, but it takes about ten days on the way back and forth between the hometown and the Yongzhou military camp. Just: "No, I currently have the emperor's life, and I have to stay with the situation on the Taoist side." The emperor asked him to spy on him, and he couldn't leave.

Speaking of the Taoist temple, Du Ke said, "Wei Ting said earlier that in a month or so, the gunpowder issue will be almost the same."

Qin Fang's eyes lit up: "What does the teacher mean?"

Du Ke continued: "Renzhou is the first step in the imperial grain franchise plan, and it is estimated that it will take about a month, so there is no rush. However, because the general defending the city cannot leave the county, the old man can ask the emperor to use you as a person at his discretion. The old man's general guard."

Qin Da was overjoyed and got up hurriedly: "Thank you, teacher."

Du Ke waved his hand: "Then you can talk about how to improve the efficiency of the imperial grain franchise plan."

Yang Haiyan said: "Although our country has 120 prefectures, in terms of prefectures, there are a total of 22. We can deal with the situation of each prefecture together. The prefects of the prefecture were invited in person. As the head of a prefecture, the prefect recommends people with good character in each prefecture to come out, and then we investigate and confirm that if there is no problem, let these people bid, which will be much faster. "

Qin Fang has never been in contact with these matters of people's livelihood. After listening to his wife's analysis, he said, "Then we have to send someone to investigate the situation of each prefecture in advance, so that when each prefect recommends those people, it will be a good comparison."

Du Ke nodded: "Yes, in fact, before the old man came to Yunxiang County, he had already sent people to various states and prefectures to investigate."

Yang Haiyan didn't expect Du Ke to do things so quickly, and he is indeed the number one popular person beside the emperor today.

Du Ke added: "But I don't know if the royal grain franchise plan will be successful this time. Before the old man came, the emperor had already announced this matter through the early court. You know, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the current court?"

This?

Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan looked at each other, they didn't know. Qin Fang was born in mud, and he never knew about the imperial court. Naturally, he didn't know this. Yang Haiyan is just a little girl, relying on some plots she knows through the book and some cleverness she has learned in the world, but if she really understands these important matters of the court, she also does not understand.

Du Ke said: "Let me talk about the advantages of the imperial court today. The advantage of the imperial court lies in the fact that the emperor has seized the throne. It is very strong. The imperial court is almost the emperor's word. The ministers in the imperial court are now in high positions. people, such as the old man, Wei Ting's father Wei Hong and others. Because of our relationship, in the early days, almost what the emperor said was what he said. Therefore, no one dared to object to the royal grain franchise plan, even if someone dared to object. , there is a huge difference from those in favor, and there is nothing to be against it.

This is the first advantage.

The second advantage is that the emperor has three sons, the princes are still young, the court faction is not obvious, and the emperors like us have not yet stood in line, so the early dynasty will be very harmonious. But since ancient times, the imperial court has been divided into factions, and no dynasty can be an exception, just wait for the princes to be a little older. "

Qin Fang heard it: "What the teacher said is a faction that will appear when the princes are a little older?"

Du Ke said: "Yes, but, the emperor's body is tough, and this kind of drawback is still early."

Yang Haiyan wants to say, you don't have to worry about this, the emperor's body is really good now. When you go to work, he will be fine.

"This time the old man is appointed as the imperial commissioner, and many people are waiting to see the joke of the old man. They naturally hope that this imperial grain franchise plan will fail. If this time the imperial grain franchise plan fails, it is estimated that there will be a long period of time, and the old man will not be able to carry it in the capital. Get started, so this time the plan is not allowed to fail." Duke said here, with a hint of sternness in his voice.

the next day

Du Ke sent a letter to the six prefects of Renzhou.

Renzhou six houses: Hedong House, Anren House, Qiongli House, Liangshan House, Daohe House, Jiujiang House. When the six prefects received Du Ke's letter, they were not surprised, because the imperial court had already released the royal grain franchise plan, and Du Ke was the commissioner of this incident, so they were all waiting. Regarding this royal grain franchise plan, the imperial court did not give a clear charter, and no one was clear about it. Everyone was curious about what kind of plan this was. But literally, it must be related to food.

This time, when the six prefects of Renzhou received Du Ke's letter, they rushed towards Yunxiang County non-stop.

In the past, the six prefects who had not seen Renzhou were so friendly, but this time, when they arrived at the gate of Yunxiang County, they did not enter the city immediately, but waited for a few to arrive, and then entered the city together.

The prefect of Anren Mansion said: "I don't know what kind of plan is the royal grain franchise plan hosted by Mr. Du this time. Mr. Liu, this is your territory. Did you hear a little bit of wind?"

Mr. Liu is the prefect of Hedong Prefecture. Hearing the question from the prefect of Anren Prefecture, he said: "Not yet, what the specific plan is, we will know when we meet Mr. Du."

The two were just fighting each other, and then the six prefects entered the city. They went directly to the inn where the court officials were received in Yunxiang County.

As soon as the six prefects arrived at the inn, the postmaster at the inn immediately sent people to the general's house and the county comrade. Soon Du Ke, who was serving in the general, and Magistrate Yang, who was in the county government office, passed by. However, the county office was closer to the post station, so the magistrate Yang arrived first.

When the prefects arrived at the inn, they went to settle down in their respective houses and rested. Yunxiang County, under the jurisdiction of the magistrate Yang, was under the Hedong Mansion, so he naturally went to see the Hedong Mansion Prefect.

The prefect of Hedong Mansion was taking a shower and changing his clothes. Hearing that the magistrate Yang was coming so soon, he let him in.

The last time Magistrate Yang saw the prefect of Hedong Prefecture was at the beginning of this year. The prefect of Hedong Prefecture was only transferred at the beginning of this year. The new prefect took office, and the county magistrate under his jurisdiction naturally went to see him.
