Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 631: Congrats
After paying homage to the ancestors and opening a family temple, under the auspices of his grandfather, Uncle Zuo officially became a member of the family after performing the ceremony.

Zuo Fu, as the eldest sister, gave him a gift after giving him a new name: Chunhe.

The spring breeze passes by, everything recovers, and spring is a new life.

Harmony, family harmony, let go of the past, and reconcile with yourself and others.

Although these two words are common, they have far-reaching meanings. Uncle Zuo is a wise man, and he immediately understood Zuo Fu's blessings and expectations for him.

He was moved.

He came to Nanjing with enthusiasm. In addition to his desire for fatherly love, he also worshiped his sister.It's just that in the end, he was not a child of the Zuo family at all.But sometimes, things in this world can be so ingenious. In the end, he can call out "Father" and "Sister" in a dignified manner.

He knelt down in front of Zuo Dayou and Liu Runiang, served them tea, and under the witness of relatives and friends, he became the son of Duke Jing.

The banquet was lively, as if it wanted to wash away the embarrassment his mother had brought to this child. This time, Zuo Dayou was particularly high-profile, and even opened a water table, and even passers-by could eat a bowl outside. Shredded Pork and Vegetable Noodles with Poached Eggs.

The Zuo family's private kitchen was very brilliant at this banquet. Most of the people who interacted with the Zuo family were superficial, and the Zuo family seldom held a banquet. In everyone's memory, Zuo Dayou's parents held a banquet on their [-]th birthday. banquet.Moreover, at that time, Zuo Dayou was in a difficult situation in the court, and there were not many people who came to the banquet.

But this time, maybe it was Zuo Freiting who frightened them by tricks, many people came to support them, and by the way, they also saw the Zuo family's private kitchen.

There are so many tricks, and the new dishes are eye-opening for them. They just wanted to come to the venue to play, but now it’s over, and I don’t want to leave. The speed of chopsticks is obviously very fast, and I have to comfort myself in my heart: Zuo Fu It's not bad to coerce them like this and eat more food from her house.

In the middle of the banquet, Gao Yong came, bringing the emperor's congratulations and gifts and blessings from all the concubines in the palace.

Hearing that the queen didn't prepare anything, but the people in the East Palace were sensible, and after presenting congratulatory gifts to the young crown prince, some people who came to the banquet couldn't help shaking their heads.

Although I didn't deal with Zuo Fu very much, but this queen really can't get on the stage!She doesn't look like a mother at all, she is small and stupid, no wonder His Majesty separated her from the prince early.

Such a stupid mother will not be able to raise good children, and will lead to bad princes.

Thinking about it in detail, I felt a little annoyed again.

If it wasn't for that basin of water, how could Zuo Fu gain a foothold in the court so quickly?This question always annoys me!This queen is so stupid!
Zuofu's family knelt down to thank you, Gao Yong said with a smile: "Duke Zhen, the miscellaneous family wants to congratulate you."

"Old Gao, thank you! Stay for a drink!"

"Hey."

Gao Yong liked to hear "Old Gao", the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and said: "This is not what this servant said."

He looked at Sun Xuntang, then at Zuo Dayou, and said: "Duke Jingguo, madam, I'm afraid you are going to be busy!"

Zuo Dayou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was overjoyed, "What does the father-in-law mean?"

"It's hard to say, don't say."

Gao Yong said: "In short, everyone is very happy, and the miscellaneous family will congratulate you first."

Zuo Fu blushed, as if he understood something, but with so many people around, it was hard to ask, so he could only say: "Old Gao, stop talking standing up, sit down and have a drink."

"Hey, hey, Your Majesty told me, come here, you are sure to let me drink, so the errand of sending this miscellaneous thing to today is over."

"That's a good feeling!"

Zuo Fu clapped his hands, "Come on, sit at the main table."

"How to make it?"

"Ha ha!"

Zuo Fu laughed, "They're all old friends who share weal and woe, Lao Gao, you're being polite but you look down on me?"

Gao Yong chuckled and didn't evade any more.Although he doesn't like to interfere in government affairs, he is a eunuch holding a pen and has another name of inner minister, so it's no problem for him to sit at the main table in his capacity.However, ordinary civil servants disdain to interact with their eunuchs, even if they post a post, they will not give it to the master table, for fear that others will say that they are ingratiating themselves to the eunuchs.

Instead of sitting at the main table, you can humiliate these eunuchs to raise your own reputation, so Gao Yong generally would not attend such a banquet.

Why bother yourself?

Although Zuo Fu didn't officially post to him right now, he only greeted him verbally, but Zuo Fu knew his difficulties, so he didn't post.Moreover, halfway through the meal, he immediately let him sit at the main table when he came, which seemed more sincere than others.

Jiang Dongmen has been together for so long, and after dealing with her for so many years, he knows Zuo Fu's character, she is not a hypocritical person, and this "Old Gao" made him feel very comfortable sitting here.

And, more importantly, His Majesty told him today that he was going to agree to Sun Xunyu and Zuo Dayou's request, and all the portraits in the palace were put away. Although he knew that His Majesty was very sad, but since he approved Zuo Fu's marriage, Is that going to let go?
It's good to be able to let go of this!

Otherwise, it would be too pitiful to torture each other!

So today he is in a particularly good mood, happy for Zuo Fu, and happy for His Majesty to let go.

The banquet continued until night fell, and after sending the last guest away, the already drunk Zuo Dayou patted Uncle Zuo on the shoulder, and said vaguely: "Good boy, don't worry about it in the future, you have a home too, follow Your sister is doing a good job."

Uncle Zuo was also drunk. He supported Zuo Dayou and wiped away his tears, but the tears became more and more. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "Father, the child knows. The child will be filial to you and mother. I will also listen to my sister's words, so as not to embarrass the family."

"Good, good, good!"

Zuo Dayou nodded his head vigorously, "Father finally settled a concern, so you can live up to your grandfather..."

He fell down and took a closer look, and found that he had fallen asleep.The scene that was still touching was ruined by the father's second sleep, and a group of people couldn't help laughing.

Liu Runiang wiped away her tears, supported Zuo Dayou together, and said: "This damn ghost, you can fall asleep like this, I really am convinced!"

Zuo Fu watched this scene with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although there are calculations, there is also a heart that can be fulfilled.

Sometimes it looks like you are forgiving others, but in fact you are letting yourself go. To reconcile with hatred is to reconcile with yourself. There are already too many hatreds in this world. After experiencing the blows of the storm, it is really true to see the truth, kindness and beauty in your parents. A nice thing.

Turning around and walking towards her own courtyard, she was too tired today, she had to take a bath, and then go to bed early, and she had to go to bed early tomorrow morning.

Thinking about it this way, I really envy my father.With salary, but he can not go to work, and Zhu Cihong is obviously very satisfied with his father's "cherishing" of his body, so after so long, although Zuo Dayou is still the leader of Jinyiwei, he doesn't take much care of it.

Of course, Zuo Dayou has promoted a lot of his own people after he developed, so he still has a certain influence on Jin Yiwei. He can know any news, and someone will always report it to him. This puts a little pressure on Jin Yiwei's second-in-command. But the king apparently forbade Zuo Dayou to really retire, so the second in command knew very well that Zuo Dayou might also be holding him back.

The personnel affairs in the court are so complicated, one link after another, every time after careful consideration, Zuo Fu admires Zhu Cihong's control ability, if he can cure his extreme disease, he will really be a good king!
The home also installed a solar water heater. After Zuo Fu took a shower, the water in the bathtub was also full. After throwing a bath ball into it, she sat in it.

Bath balls containing vanilla extract and ylang-ylang essential oil can relieve physical fatigue and relax the spirit.Sitting in the bathtub, she couldn't help laughing at herself as she thought of Gao Yong's words.

Seemingly fulfilling oneself, seemingly letting go, is actually more calculation than sincerity?
Thinking about what she was doing now, she turned around and lay down on the edge of the bathtub, the sarcasm hanging from the corner of her mouth was aimed at both Zhu Cihong and herself.

finally……

Still living like what I hate!
Power and politics are really the strongest corrosive agents in the world, all sincerity will be corroded, and calculation will become an instinct in the end.

Scenes of the past emerged, and she thought of those times in the guard. Although danger was always around, but after thinking about it carefully, it was actually the most relaxed day in these years.

Thinking of this, my mood is like a cloud floating on the top of a mountain, flying high, but I can't return to the popular fireworks in the secular world.

No wonder Guanyu said that God is merciless, and ruthlessness is the mercy to all living beings.After reaching a certain height, the love in the world will only hurt people.

She closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift away. As the sweat slowly rose from her forehead, when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were already peaceful.

This moment of melancholy is enough. Now that I have found my own "Tao", I shouldn't let myself be too indulged in useless emotions.

She still has a lot of things to do, and today's melancholy should be regarded as a farewell to yesterday.

Get up and wipe off the water drops, lie down on the bed, close your eyes, and whispered softly, "Farewell, we young..."

On the second day, Zuo Fu, who had just put on his official uniform, received a notice that he would not go to court early today.Zuo Fu was stunned for a moment, thinking of Zhu Cihuang's situation these days, he sighed softly, sent off the person who came to inform, and went back to the flower hall to have breakfast with his parents.

In the past half a year, Zhu Cihong seemed to have become a bit slack in politics, Zuo Fu didn't know what he wanted to do, could it be that he was tired of fighting with the courtiers?

However, the so-called king's heart is unpredictable, so she doesn't need to analyze it too much, she should do her own business well.

After breakfast, I took a change of clothes to say goodbye to my parents, and then returned to the Yamen.

Things are always endless, and the spring sowing is over, but the mood of the people is still high.They are always the most sensitive to the subtle changes in life. After feeling the real benefits, they don't want to stop pursuing beauty. They just want to repair the road quickly, and then follow the guidance of their parents and officials to make a fortune.

Infrastructure needs to be built, people's livelihood needs to be taken care of, and there is another more important thing waiting for Zuo Fu to do.

How to increase productivity, how to liberate more labor from the land, and how to transform an agricultural country into an industrial country are the most important things.

Qiongzhou has opened textile factories and garment factories for a long time. Zuo Fu thinks that it can also be set up in the Jiangnan area. After all, in later generations, the light industry in this area is also very developed. In the later 80s and 90s, the textile industry was also extremely developed in this area. Zuo Fu felt that he could learn from the development model of later generations and try to do it in Nanjing first.

It is a pity that the most ideal woven sea-island cotton is not suitable for planting in Daming, and the only suitable place for planting is Xinjiang.So except for this, you can only choose fine cotton.

This cotton variety native to Central America has wide adaptability, high yield, long fibers, and can be spun into medium-count yarns. Although it is not as good as long-staple cotton, it is better than coarse-staple cotton that is commonly grown in Daming.

This kind of cotton has already been planted in Qiongzhou, but Nanjing has to start from scratch. The best time to plant cotton is around mid-April in the Gregorian calendar. Counting the days, we must hurry up and plant this year. Next year, it will be able to self-produce and sell itself, and the dependence on TB will be reduced.

Zuo Fu is a man of action, he will immediately plan and do it when he thinks about it.Soon, she was looking for a suitable place to start growing cotton.At the same time, the blueprints of the textile machines were also distributed. In addition to producing machines in Nanjing, people were also sent to Qiongzhou to order textile machines.

Growing cotton, building machinery, and choosing a factory site, Zuofu was busy again.A group of secondary officials also ran back and forth. Their adults always have endless things to do. It is unfortunate and very lucky to have such a boss, because although it is tiring, it is easy to achieve political achievements.

and……

They also gradually gave up using the sedan chair, which is really inconvenient.Moreover, cycling is popular in Nanjing now, and people with bicycles are fashionable, so it’s okay for their officials to ride bicycles, right?Although riding a bicycle is a little tiring, sitting in a sedan chair is not necessarily very comfortable, and it is much more convenient to do things, so gradually, everyone in the yamen took the exam to learn how to ride a bicycle, even the third class of yamen servants was no exception.

Zoff gave everyone a bicycle, and before long, states and counties also received bicycles and a person who came to teach them how to ride.

A group of grooms and bearers were in a panic. Everyone was going to ride their bicycles, so what would they do?Facts have proved that they thought too much, because although the officials and gentlemen went there by bicycle, there were a lot of things to be transported in the yamen every day, so they basically didn't need to carry people in the future, as long as they transported goods.

Apart from these things, Zuo Fu also rectified the post stations in Nanjing.After the rectification of post stations in various places, Ying Tianfu allocated funds to purchase the shops near the post stations, and then directly demolished them to rebuild warehouses.

In the future, goods can be stacked in these warehouses, and some people have been added to each post station to deliver letters and things to the villagers.

Zuo Fu equipped these people with tricycles and trained them. This is what Qiongzhou and Changzhou do, so it didn't take much effort.

Anyway, it is based on the courier of later generations, so these people will be the courier brothers of the seventeenth century, and will become the originator in the future.

Once the economy starts to develop, freight transportation will become busy. Therefore, it is not enough to build roads, and the supporting facilities must be done well. Post stations can take care of this function. Unreasonable use is a waste of resources!
