The injured Zhao Sheng did not go to the Princess's Mansion with Li Shuya, but took her to Shigang Village.
This was the first time Li Shuya came to Shigang Village after marrying Zhao Cheng. The last time she came was at night, so she didn't have any feelings about the place.
When she saw the plaque "Chongzhen" on the gate of the compound, the first person that came to her mind was Zhao Zhen.
"You built this yard specifically for Zhao Zhen, right?"
Obviously, his wife was jealous. Mr. Zhao found it a little funny. They were already married, and he also said that Zhao Zhen was his sister.
However, a woman's intuition told her that one of them definitely did not regard the other as sibling. Li Shuya was more inclined to believe that it was Zhao Zhen who thought so.
Seeing that Zhao Sheng did not respond to her question, Li Shuya did not want to make trouble. After all, Zhao Sheng was hurt for her today, and she would definitely cherish such a man.
In the yard, there were still Zhao Erniu and a group of half-grown children. There were only eleven of them now. When they saw Zhao Sheng coming, they all stepped forward and shouted, "Greetings, father. Greetings, mother."
Li Shuya knew that Zhao Sheng had adopted many orphans, and the younger children in Luancheng also called them that. The only difference was that they called Zhao Zhen "Auntie".
Mr. Zhao sometimes felt really guilty about being called that. He knew that if necessary, these children would sacrifice themselves for him.
He really felt that he was not worthy of the word "father", but since he adopted these children, the title of "father" was engraved in their hearts. This title was also taught by Zhao Erniu.
"Have you been eating well lately? Have you had any meat these days?"
Mr. Zhao was very concerned about the children's nutrition. Eating meat once every three days was the rule. This was not only the rule in this courtyard, but also the same rule for the new troops in Pingshan.
Mr. Zhao brought Li Shuya here not only to visit these children, but also to see the blueberry, grape, wolfberry and other seeds brought by Qinzhong Li Ziqi.
Moreover, all these seeds were planted by Zhao Sheng in Shigang Village as a demonstration.
Grapes are ripe this season and blueberries will soon be ready to eat.
It took Zhao Sheng more than a year to adapt the soil of Shigang Village to the growth of some crops by changing his planting habits.
Now, under the command of Zhao Sheng, every household in Shigang Village has started to raise pigs and chickens. There is a real need for waste materials here, and the stones here are only halite, high-calcium stone and stones containing ingredients such as amine sulfide.
Changing the soil and raising animals were the only solutions Zhao Sheng could think of. After all, as a time traveler, he had neither a system nor a golden finger, and he felt that traveling through time was a joke.
The grape varieties brought by Li Ziqi are different and have different ripening periods.
After picking some ripe grapes and coming to the compound, Li Shuya accompanied the children who had just rested to taste the delicious grapes.
"Glow-in-the-dark cup of fine grape wine. If you want to drink, play the pipa immediately. Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many times have you fought in ancient times?"
Zhao Sheng suddenly remembered this poem and recited it unconsciously.
As the princess of Dingzhou, Li Shuya had the honor of drinking wine once, but she didn't think it was tasty. Now she likes the fruit juice wine made by Zhao Sheng very much.
"My dear husband, your poem is very good, but I don't like wine."
They are indeed a couple. The wife can guess her husband’s thoughts just by reading a line of his poem.
"Wife, the sugar content of grapes is far greater than that of Elaeagnus angustifolia. Glucose has many benefits for the human body. Even if we don't make wine, we can still extract glucose. Soldiers sometimes need a lot of sugar to replenish their strength during battles."
Li Shuya is indeed a warmonger. When she heard that grapes were also needed for war, she immediately expressed her support for Zhao Sheng to plant more grapes.
Zhao Heng of Chuzhou promised Zhao Wei that as long as he could balance the power of Chuzhou and control half of it, he would agree to all his requests.
As a representative sent by the Cui family of Boling, Cui Minghao naturally became Zhao Heng's money bag in Chuzhou. Who could refuse this? Even though he was a prince, looking at this mobile ATM, he was reluctant to give up Cui Minghao.
He Hairen has always had a bad reputation in Chuzhou. Later, amid controversy, he was transferred from Chuzhou and temporarily returned to Shangjing to serve as a substitute official.
Without a prefect in Chuzhou, the King of Chu took on the responsibility of having the greatest administrative say in Chuzhou.
At this time, Binzhou had no county magistrate, and the county magistrate had become an acting magistrate. How could Zhao Heng let Binzhou fall into the hands of others? When there was no one to fill the vacancy, Cui Zhendao had to go to Binzhou from time to time to handle previous cases.
By the way, we should supervise Binzhou and prevent it from getting into chaos.
Cui Zhendao had nothing to say about such an arrangement. Now that Chuzhou had no prefect, he, as the Tongzhi, was strictly speaking the highest-ranking local official. It was natural for him to inspect the work of his subordinates.
The county magistrate who used to be like a dog has now transformed himself into the Tongzhi of Chuzhou. The salt merchants in Binzhou who used to look down on him have to give him some face.
Now the Salt Gang case has suddenly become Cui Zhendao's political achievement since he took office. In order to balance the salt market in Binzhou, although the Salt Gang has been defeated, they are an undercurrent that is easiest to control.
Although Zhao Heng did not make it clear, Cui Zhendao also knew what to do.
As a result, the Caobang had to return the salt field's warehouse to Fu Gang and others, and the salt previously stored had to be paid back to Fu Gang.
The case was sentenced in this way. Fu Gang rented these warehouses to merchants from other places according to Sun Tiebiao's wishes, and also transferred the salt from the salt permits, but it was not transferred openly, but done privately.
The so-called private operation is to pull the salt brought by one's own salt directly into the warehouse, so that salt merchants from other places can transport the salt away from the warehouse.
Cui Minghao had just arrived here and heard the news. Their Cui family also ran a salt business. Of course, there was no monopoly, but in the Cui family's territory, all those who bought and sold salt were members of their family's power.
With such a huge market, he didn't mind owning a small warehouse in Yanshi. Moreover, this warehouse already existed and had nothing to do with him, so it couldn't be considered as stealing other people's business.
Besides, Cui Zhendao is now in charge of Binzhou, which is much better than being a county magistrate before.
In this way, when Cui Minghao came to Chuzhou, he did not start with his previous business, but instead set his sights on the salt fields in Binzhou.
The agreement between Zhao Heng and Zhao Wei was that they would not expand the influence of the Cui family in officialdom, and Zhao Heng would not support the Cui family. As for how the Cui family members committed suicide, Zhao Wei or Wei Rong would naturally deal with it.
Li Jun and Li Shiyuan followed Zhao Heng to Chuzhou, but because they were afraid of external forces, now that the overall situation had been decided, Zhao Heng arranged for Li Jun to be the chief historian in the Chu Palace.
Official positions in the Zhou vassal states could be granted by the princes themselves and did not receive salaries from the state, so the emperor was too lazy to take care of them.
The Chief Secretary is equivalent to the country's Minister of State in the palace, and can be said to have great say. This is also due to Zhao Heng's trust in Li Jun, and has little to do with Li Shiyuan.
The Chief Secretary may or may not be a eunuch, but under him are two Fengsi, who assist the palace in managing internal affairs and are basically eunuchs.
Li Jun suddenly stepped out from behind the scenes and became a well-known figure in Chuzhou. However, he had a difficult task, which was to cooperate with Sun Tiebiao to control the Salt Gang.
The salt gangs were required not to disrupt the order of the salt market, not to allow the officials of the salt fields to have too much free time, and not to allow other gangs to ignore the existence of these old salt gang members.
This is indeed quite difficult for a gang that has lost its backing and power.
