Chapter 416 The Capital
Doctor Chu came to check Chen Fan's pulse.He frowned: "The city lord is emotionally stable and in good health, but this child seems to have come at an unfortunate time. Are you planning to go to the capital?"

child?Zhang Ci said something casually just now, but he hit it right.

Nanny Xu was not surprised: "Oh, why are you pregnant before going out again?"

Zhang Ci was thinking: "The trip to the capital has not been decided yet."

Dr. Chu twirled his beard: "It is not optimistic to advance or retreat; what status to go is also an important issue. The old man is a doctor, and it seems that he has not only been a doctor these years."

After dinner, the two took a walk in the yard.Zhang Ci said: "I'm going to sell one or two farms and transfer the manpower here. But if there are no tenants left, those who buy the farms may not be willing."

"Yes, recruiting tenant farmers is a hassle." It's good that the nearby villages have enough people, but if there are not enough people, the fields will not be cultivated.

"There is already ripe soil over there, and the farmers are used to it, so why not keep it. Maybe those papermakers in Qingji can turn around. There are so many mulberry trees in the east, and they can bring the mountain people to make paper."

Zhang Ci nodded: "It can be considered. The mulberry tree grows fast, cut a piece of land and plant a piece of land."

As they walked, the two fell silent.

Should the capital space go or not?
Zhang Ci's voice was a bit muffled: "Because of me, my father committed the crime of bullying the emperor. Now that the children have their own households, will they offend the upper body?"

This is what they worried about when they moved their household registration.This time when they go to Beijing, will the higher-ups use the household registration to attack them, saying that they have long been estranged and secretly plotting.

She still insisted on what she said back then: "You can establish a household when you reach the age of 12. We are in compliance with the law. We were adopted. It is no problem to create a character set where the rich, the poor, and the lowly fly separately. Yuanfeng County has become a fiefdom of the second prince. We will Moving out of household registration to seek refuge with the Sixth Prince should be both public and private."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Maybe the house that the capital gave me will be taken back."

He hit the mark again.The new news from the capital is that the emperor has taken back the mansion, Chen Zhongyan and the others have moved into a small house, and they have not separated for the time being.

Zhang Ci's face was expressionless, Chen Fan just covered his eyes and chuckled, and Mother Xu was so angry that she said "too much to deceive"!
If you don't swear or swear, that's all you can say.

Chen Zhongyan brought some sun-dried lavender and said, "It smells really good. Next year, I will grow a little more, and sunflowers too. It's best to plant them all over the mountains and plains like a tea garden."

"I like it too. The flowers grown in those short hillocks are very good. There are large areas of golden yellow, large areas of purple, and large areas of red." Chen Fan likes that feeling very much, but she hasn't watched it this year and hasn't taken a good walk in the flower field. Walk.

Zhang Ci asked him: "How many places do you need to dry the lavender all over the mountain?"

Chen Zhongyan didn't think about it: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be a way when the time comes. Can we start selling melon seeds?"

"Yes," Zhang Ci nodded, "Go to Qingyang County and Linnan County to sell melon seeds."

Chen Zhongyan hehe: "Do you want to go to the lake?"

Zhang Ci did not show any weakness: "You can try. You go, or I go?"

Chen Zhongyan thought for a while: "Let's forget about the lake, melon seeds are not a necessity and are in short supply. I will hand over the business in my hand to Cao Dezheng and the others."

Officials have businesses in their families, so it is a good way to let them earn some money.

Mo Jian came to report the news of He Zhongsheng.He also organized a trade fair this year, and more merchants and tourists came than last year, but the management was not in place last year, and several conflicts occurred.

Chen Zhongyan took a sip of tea: "He is used to stepping here and there, thinking that he is capable. When the fair started the day before yesterday, he was very proud, and the city was full of praise."

Zhang Ci smiled and said: "He has defeated the previous governor, so of course he is proud. But he has created so many conflicts, how can the trade fair go smoothly?"

He Zhongsheng was not as generous to his subordinates as Chen Fan, and the treatment of officials was much worse.Leapfrog reuse, favoring one over another, has also deepened the internal conflicts in the prefectural government and county government.The management of this exhibition is not very coordinated.

Mo Jian said: "This year, the business tax is collected in full, and the booth fee is charged every day. The merchants have been very resentful these two days. The merchants went to the countryside for inspections, and the tourists visited the mountains and rivers. Some places have to collect money. Those people Not happy either."

Chen Fan laughed out loud, he also knows how to charge tickets for scenic spots.

The ink paper withdrew, and Chen Zhongyan said: "Conflicts will become more and more intensified. But none of these will have a big impact on him."

"Just don't hurt us." Zhang Ci said lightly.

Chen Fan was smelling the lavender, Zhang Ci was a little worried: "Can I smell it when I'm pregnant?"

"It's ok, as long as it's not too much, it's fine." Chen Fan comforted him, "I'll just smell it for a while. Lavender has a calming and calming effect, so it can be studied by Doctors Chu and Fang."

"Can I sleep better if I put it next to my pillow when sleeping?" Chen Zhongyan asked.

Chen Fan nodded: "It is useful for some people."

In a blink of an eye, it was the autumn harvest time. Chen Fan and Chu Sheng stood at the edge of the field watching farmers harvest rice.

"Every village has threshers. It's good to have iron mines." Zhang Ci was very pleased.

"Indeed. Your family also has a lot of talents, including those who make iron and swords." Chen Fan deeply felt that the family was strong.

The two walked slowly in the countryside.

"When we come back from the capital, the mountain may be covered by heavy snow." Chen Fan looked at the mountain, "I hope the trip goes smoothly."

Before leaving, they held a happy event: Chu Sheng and Yun Feng got married, and Wei Jia and Yun Shan got married.They stayed in Hwaseong, living in the mountains and serving as sentries.

Chen Zhongyan submitted an application, and the emperor approved it, so this time he also went to Beijing together.

After walking for more than half a month, the boat arrived in the capital, and Chen Zhongzhu came to pick them up.

Chen Fan stared at Chen Zhongyan.He is 22 years old and is over 1.8 meters tall. If one foot is 23 centimeters, he is eight feet tall.

He is not slim, and he looks impressive in civilian clothes.

Chen Zhongzhu said with a smile: "Sister, I have been eating well and growing up well."

Chen Fan smiled gratifiedly: "You look really good."

"Has the demeanor of a general." She could only say this in her heart.

Zhang Ci patted him on the back twice: "Not bad, very strong."

The group of people entered the city quietly in a carriage, and Chen Zhongyan was also with them.

The size of the house is less than three acres, the brothers live in the outer courtyard, and Chen Ya lives in the inner courtyard.As soon as she saw Chen Fan, she rushed forward: "Sister, you are finally here, I think you are getting old."

Chen Fan smiled happily: "Aren't I even older?"

Chen Zhongyan looked at Chen Ya silently.

After hugging him for a while, Chen Ya loosened his arms and bowed formally: "I've met my eldest sister, my brother-in-law, and my seventh brother."
