Zhili relies on agriculture alone to enrich the people. The problem of natural drought is not unsolvable, and digging wells and repairing rivers and canals is a solution. But these solutions require silver.

Although Song Hou is old, as a behind-the-scenes person, he is not a stubborn person, and after Cao Hao's remarks, he finally supported Cao Hao's decision.

Next, how to draft the excerpt and raise this matter to the top priority that affects the livelihood of the people of Zhili, and whether the responsibility can not be borne on Cao Hao, the governor, depends on Song Hou's handwriting.

In his early years, when he was in Huguang, he often drafted the recitals, and he knew the doorways best.

Brilliant brushstrokes.

Sometimes, the same thing can have different effects with different words.

Cao Hao proposed that the unified purchase and sale of cotton is a policy to enrich the people. If the consequences are not ideal or deviated, it is because of the people below.

Cao Hao looked at the excerpts drafted by Song Hou, and was a little helpless, but he also knew that these were necessary.

Cao Hao rewrote this again, without adding or subtracting a word.

After copying the excerpt, he handed it over to Song Hou, and this will be sent to the capital by Song Hou.

Song Houzi also saw that Cao Hao's hair had not increased, rubbing his beard, and his expression was a little satisfied.

To be able to meet such a proprietor is also for the luck of the curtain ...... * inner house, upper room.

Chu Yu held the letter sent by the seven-grid envoy in his hand, and he only felt heavy.

Nian's family is in turmoil, and Chu Yu is also very worried about following her husband in Guangzhou.

can't write two words in one stroke, even if Nian Xi succeeds to Nian Xiyao, and the father and son become uncles and nephews, in the end, they are flesh and blood, where can they stand by and watch.

The old people of the Nian family in the officialdom were either implicated and dismissed, or they turned against each other to impeach Nian Qianyao, and no one pleaded for the Nian family.

For the rest, you can only look at relatives.

Chu Yu let out a long breath, picked up the scissors, and twisted the seal. As expected, Qigege asked his eldest sister for help in the letter, and said that Qiege had already made up his mind to go north and return to Beijing.

The reason why he delayed leaving for a long time was because Xiyao was sick the year before and couldn't get out.

Seven Gege does not ask for the side, only asks for the seven foreheads to return to Beijing, if they are burdened by the family, I implore my sister to ask the royal father to come forward to protect one or two. Although he is also a royal mansion, Qigege is very self-aware and knows that his weight is not as good as that of the eldest sister, so he implored the eldest sister to come forward.

After reading the letter, Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, not that he wanted them to intercede for Nian Qianyao. If that were the case, there would be nothing they could do.

Qi Gege is too worried about this, if Qi Ge is dragged down by the family to ask for the guilt, even if Chu Yu does not come forward, Prince Chun will not stand by coldly.

Among the sons of the former emperor, although Prince Chun has no power or power, he can treat his children best. If he hadn't planned it carefully, he wouldn't have married three of his four daughters to the capital.

When Cao Hao came back from the official residence, Chu Yu mentioned that Nian Xi was about to return to Beijing.

Cao Hao sighed and said, "I only mentioned going back to Beijing to fulfill my filial piety under my grandfather's knees, instead of going to Hangzhou last year, I am a smart person." If that is the case, the emperor is afraid that he will be angry with him. As long as he is good, maybe depending on his affection, the emperor can still leave three points of leeway for the Nian family. ”

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "It is said that the emperor loves the young concubine the most...... It would be nice if I could look at the love of the concubine and treat the family more leniently......"

"Wide? If the Nian concubine has no children, maybe the Nian family will be spared; Nian Guifei has a prince, and the Nian family is in a catastrophe. Otherwise, it may be another big show. Cao Hao said.

Speaking of the Nian family, the husband and wife were a little embarrassed, but they both felt that Nian Xi was no big deal.

If Nian Xi did not succeed, as the eldest son of Nian Qianyao, he might be implicated by his father and sentenced to exile; But Nianxi has passed away, his reputation is different, and it is not a major crime of rebellion, so he can't be implicated in his nephew.

Not long after Qigege's letter arrived, news came out in Beijing that the palace had issued an order, and Nian Qianyao's title was stripped away, and someone from the Criminal Department went to Jiangnan to escort Nian Qianyao into Beijing.

Since the death of the Holy Ancestor, the family has been prosperous for three years, and it only took three months for the fall.

In June, he cut the Taibao of Nian Qianyao, looked for his first-class duke, and took away the position of Nian Qianyao's son who was rich, prosperous, and over-aged; In July, he was demoted to a second-class duke, and then to a third-class duke, and won the general of Hangzhou and the leader of the Han army; In August, he was demoted to the first class, then to the first class male, and at the end of the month, he was demoted to the first class lieutenant.

In September, Nian Qianyao finally went white.

The news about Nian Qianyao came every three or five days, and Cao Hao was a little impatient and too lazy to pay attention to it.

Love is what it is, it's all Nian Qianyao's own doing. Even if it is not Yongzheng who is in power, if he is replaced by other emperors, he will not allow his courtiers to be powerful.

It's just that in the end, for the sake of Chu Yu's face, he can't ignore his brother-in-law Nianxi. Cao Hao wrote to Cao Yuan in the capital, asking him to pay more attention to the old lady's side.

A few days later, Cao Yuan's reply arrived, mentioning the recent situation of the Nian Mansion in detail.

The old lady tied up several grandchildren in the mansion, and the mansion seemed to be peaceful. It's just that the news from the palace is not good, and it is said that Nian Guifei's illness is worse.

Seeing the old man doing this, Cao Hao could only praise his wisdom.

The ants can't shake the big tree, so instead of letting their grandchildren go around camping and being mixed into the Nian Qianyao case to be questioned, it is better to honestly wait in the mansion to close the case.

Not long after Cao Yuan's letter arrived, Cao Xiang's letter also arrived, but he was looking for Cao Hao to intercede.

Chunhua has an uncle, in his thirties, who has married a wife and had children, but he does not have a title, and he lives in an idle clan and is attached to the general's mansion. Now that the clan is about to compete, Chunhua's father begged his son-in-law, hoping to take the door of Prince Zhuang's Mansion or Prince Yi's Mansion through the Cao family.

Cao Xiang was embarrassed, the cousin who had a way to the Prince of Zhuang's mansion, and the siblings of his own mother-in-law who had relatives in the Prince Yi's mansion had no position for him to speak.

Chunhua's father complained a lot, his own wife, concubines, children, and family, it was already difficult to chew, and he also added his brother's family. But he couldn't drive his brother out to live, so he could only wait for the knighthood.

Although he respects his wife, Cao Xiang also knows a little about the father-in-law of the General's Mansion, and he is tight-handed.

If it is said that it is because of sibling affection, so that the younger brother is not allowed to move out of the house, it is a lie; If you want to say that you are reluctant to share the wealth, you don't want to buy a house for your younger brother, and you can't let your brothers and nephews go out of the house, so you attach to his surname.

Cao Xiang wanted to open his mouth to refuse, where did the father of Chunhua give him this opportunity.

Looking at that, if the son-in-law doesn't help, the family can't go on. Speaking of Chunhua's brothers, they are about to reach the age of saying that they have no money or a house.

Cao Xiang is a junior after all, and when it comes to this, he can only say his best.

Although in terms of name, Prince Yi Fujin is also Cao Xiang's cousin, but he is still not cheeky to that point, and asks to go forward as the concubine of the Zhaojia family.

So, he sent a letter to his cousin to see if he could follow the path of the sixteenth elder brother.

Cao Hao thought about it, it was not only a side branch of the General's Mansion, but also a low-level clan. It's just the qualification to participate in the school examination, which is not a difficult thing, and it won't make the sixteenth elder brother embarrassed. In his reply, he agreed to this matter and asked his cousin to go directly to Prince Zhuang's mansion to find Prince Zhuang to talk about it.

Naturally, in order not to be presumptuous, Cao Hao also repaired a book here, so that it could be sent to the sixteenth elder brother first.

As Cao Hao thought, it was not a difficult matter, but it was just a number of Hou Kao clans, and the sixteenth elder brother agreed very happily.

Cao Xiang didn't feel relaxed at all, only ashamed.

After all, it was he who was cheeky and relied on his cousin's favor.

With his cousin's surname, he is not a begging person, and he can't refuse his father-in-law, but he can only ask his cousin.

In his early years, he was still young, but he just used the excuse that he was young and accepted his cousin's care with peace of mind; Now that I'm older, I don't think about how to solve things that I can't solve, and now I'm helping my cousin.

Cao Xiang couldn't deceive himself, and tossed and turned for several days, only feeling that he was extremely hypocritical and disgusting...... Cao Hao didn't think of Cao Xiang's entanglement, but he didn't forget the general's mansion in the past, he was afraid that Cao Xiang would be too soft-hearted, so that the general's mansion would kick his nose in the face and cause trouble to the Cao family.

The two brothers didn't break it, but Cao Xiang understood the meaning of his cousin's words.

The general's mansion did not act respectfully, otherwise there would not have been a matter of seizing land with the palace in the early years. This time the matter of the colonel of the clan, Cao Hao looked at Cao Xiang's face, and made a move, and there would be no next time.

Cao Xiang looked at the letter and was silent for a long time.

It's just that his cousin is a little estranged from the general's mansion, but he doesn't know that his cousin is so disgusted with that side. Knowing this, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not mention it to his cousin.

"The world is unsatisfactory and there are ** ......," Cao Xiang could only sigh.

But when facing his wife and children, Cao Xiang was not obvious at all.

Although his wife can't help him, and may even drag him back, it is still his Cao Xiang's luck that he has a virtuous wife.

He is only grateful to ...... * Qing Yuan, the Governor's Palace.

Looking at Wei Wenjie, who had clear eyes and a little expectation, Cao Hao was a little irritable.

He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Daughter He, is that what your uncle meant?" ”

Wei Wenjie's eyes flickered a little, his face turned red, and he shook his head and said, "No, it's my nephew who saw that the cousin of the He family was gentle and virtuous, and he felt longing......

The cousin of the He family in his mouth is Wei De's niece, a native of Jiangning, whose parents died, and was taken to Mancheng by Wei De's wife last year.

Cao Hao looked at Wei Wenjie and was somewhat disappointed.

The young man's amorous indulgence is nothing, but he didn't expect it to appear in Wei Wenjie, who has always been old.

You must know that before Wei Wenming went to Beijing last year, Cao Hao had a sincere conversation with him, even if he did not bluntly say that he wanted to give Niuniu to him, it also showed that he was entrusted by his uncle, and the family affairs would fall on Cao Hao.

Unexpectedly, after only a year of hard work, Wei Wenjie had his own idea. If you really respect Cao Hao as your elder, how can you be so rash?

Although he hadn't seen that He yet, Cao Hao had already felt a little disgusted in his heart.

If Wei Wenjie can directly ask the Governor's Mansion and ask Cao Hao to make decisions for this family matter, then the relationship between him and the He family will never be a simple longing.

It is better to be someone else, to be a concubine, and to get married than to marry blindly and dumbly.

But the one in front of him is his friend's eldest son, and he is the son-in-law of Niuniu, who has a fancy for him, and he actually did such a thing of private affairs, how can Cao Hao not be disappointed......
