Troubled Times Survival Raiders

"What?" Shen Yu was stunned.

As soon as Shen Yu arrived at the state government office, the group of people inquired from the subordinate officials that Mr. Shen did not bring any family members with him when he took office, and now that the backyard is empty, why don't they need to send a beautiful woman to gently explain?

Although it is to match one's own preferences, but what is good about a man is nothing more than gold and silver playthings, good wine and beautiful women.Men are not lustful, sows can climb trees!

After Lu Ning finished explaining in a few words, it was the first time for Shen Yu to receive this kind of treatment, and he still didn't react.Shen Jia also said with concern: "Yu Lang, you can't accept the people they send you casually. Don't care about other things first, let's talk about whether they are clean or not."

"I haven't married a wife yet." Hearing these words, Shen Yu blushed, and Shen Yu had no choice but to defend herself.Although, although he is indeed well-versed in human affairs, this is a completely different concept!

"Aren't you married yet at your age?" Shen Jia also showed a surprised expression.They all thought that Shen Yu or his wife was pregnant and it was not suitable to move, so they went to the post alone. They didn't expect that this man, whom they all wished to be their husband-in-law, was still a bachelor.

Lu Ning was the first to say: "Then I'm afraid my lord has to be mentally prepared. If two days later, the news from the capital comes, and they hear that you haven't married a wife, I'm afraid it will only get worse."

Originally, I just wanted to add icing on the cake, but I didn't expect to be able to send charcoal in a timely manner. Maybe I have a relative with Mr. Zhizhou, who would not be happy?

"If it wasn't for the incompatibility of family background, I would have thought that the rich and the water would not flow to outsiders' fields." Shen Jia smiled, but it was a pity that she was a step too late. Now that Shen Yu's official career is smooth, it is indeed too wronged to be married to a merchant. "I'm also your elder. If you can trust your aunt, you can listen to me. I know all the ladies here in Guangzhou. You and your father can write a letter to confirm your marriage. Isn't there so much going on?"

These words were affectionate and meaningful, but Shen Yu could only shake his head. "Sorry, aunt, I already have a sweetheart, and I don't want to wrong him."

He didn't care where the couple were thinking, and quickly ended this topic, which became more and more embarrassing as it continued. "Aunt, Uncle, do you have a merchant ship at home?"

"Yes, of course." Lu Ning replied.

There is no ban on Daqi Sea, and these big merchants have their own merchant ships.This is what Shen Yu values. "Is there any danger every time I go to sea? How long does it take to go back and forth? What kind of goods are there? What is the profit?"

If Shen Yu had only asked these questions as the prefect of Guangzhou, Lu Ning would never have told him frankly, but Shen Yu called his father-in-law first, playing the emotional card. He just glanced at his wife and answered truthfully: "The danger is real. Yes, Ryukyu is alright, mainly on the Wa country, some people snatch ships, they are very abominable. To go back and forth, it depends on where you are going, if you go to Persia, it is far away, and it takes years. To Wa country, round trip But between a month or two."

"The goods, the governors of all states and counties will send people to conduct random checks, of course they cannot violate the prohibition, mainly silk, porcelain, tea, and occasionally some copper and iron wares." Lu Ning replied cautiously, "As for the profit..." Finally, he looked at his wife With a glance, Shen Yu reported a number.

That number was astonishing, Shen Yu did a mental calculation, and her eyes lit up.He quickly asked: "If the imperial court contributes funds and sends soldiers to escort the sea, can they get a share?"

When he said the word guard, Lu Ning's eyes lit up. "Naturally, naturally, it's not only about safety, it's much more convenient to have an official name."

Lu Ning looked at him eagerly, "The Lu family dare not say that the fleet is the largest, but the experience of the people on board is indeed the most abundant. If you want to find someone to cooperate with, we definitely welcome you."

"Of course, but this matter, I can't completely decide, I have to write to the court." Shen Yu said.Since he was talking about this matter with Lu Ning, it was obvious that he wanted to cooperate with him.

"Civilian ships, I'm afraid they can't compare with your merchant ships?" Shen Yu remembered the land route she took when she came.

Lu Ning was not too disappointed either.He cautiously said: "Actually, the difference is not too far away, but we need to rely on the fleet to go to sea, at least one or two large ships are required, and the civilian ships alone will definitely not be able to go far."

Incorporate civilian ships.Shen Yu silently wrote down these four words in her heart.However, he didn't reveal too much, and it was almost the end of the chat, so he sent the two of them out of the state office on the excuse that it was too late.

However, the news of Lu's couple's visit to the state government still spread like wildfire.

Lu Ning was also considered kind, and after returning back, he spread the news about Shen Zhizhou's sweetheart in many twists and turns, combined with the news from the capital that Mr. Shen had not yet married a wife, it would make people feel deeply affectionate.

Deep affection and righteousness do not hinder three wives and six concubines.For a while, there were fewer matchmakers, but for the others, it turned out that Lu Ning did guess right, but the gender was wrong.

Shen Yu stared blankly at the gentle and docile man with heavy makeup.

"Since Ziyu met the lord, he has been deeply impressed and never forgets. Please ask the lord to accompany you as a slave to comfort you."

Ziyu is so pitiful, as if she is really an infatuated person who never forgets.But Shen Yu only had helplessness in her heart.How did these children from good families fall to this point?

He asked nicely, "Are you a local? Are you still at home?"

"At home..." Ziyu's eye circles turned red, and he tried his best to control his voice, "Ziyu is a local, and his family members have long been separated and disappeared."

Judging by his preoccupied appearance, it is unknown whether this matter is true or not.Shen Yu replied: "I have servants by my side, so I don't need others to serve. Since you can sing and understand instrumental music, go to the Jiaofang to teach. It's better than serving others."

Ziyu didn't know whether it was sad or touched, the circles of her eyes became redder, and she thanked him tremblingly.

Master Zhizhou took their most famous line, and sent it to Jiaofang!It seems that sows can really climb trees.For a while, the bustling state government finally became quieter.

After dealing with these miscellaneous trivial matters, Shen Yu started to get busy with business.The transfer of things left by the former Guangzhou magistrate was neat and clear, and it was nothing major. There were only one or two criminal complaints, which were reported by the county newspaper below. He had no time to intervene at the transfer point, so Shen Yu called people to question and judge according to the law. .

These cases that do not involve the Yao people, relying on the prestige of Zhizhou, are enough to convince people.

After completing these necessary things, Shen Yu started to do what he wanted to do.First of all, it is naturally the fish farming in rice fields that he never forgets.In order to avoid the nonsense of farmers, he consulted books and personally visited three or four neighboring counties, and concluded that fish farming in rice fields is indeed possible, and it is very common in southern Fujian.

After Shen Yu arrived in Guangzhou, she also asked people to buy a few fields with her own money. This would just allow people to raise different fish while planting rice, and experiment with which one is the most suitable and earn more.

He also devoted a little time to observing the differences between the fields here and those in the south, and the differences in the farming tools. As for the frequency of irrigation, it takes time to record and compare them one by one.

The matter of Tian Sang is exactly the duty of a local governor, which is different from the noble Hanlin officials. Even if Shen Yu works in the fields every day, others can only praise him.

Shen Yu didn't forget Yaoren either.He has not personally experienced the Yao people's rebellion, but looking through the records in the state government, it almost happens every two years.One of the major achievements of the former governor of Guangzhou was to suppress rebellion continuously.

Just counterinsurgency, when will we go?

Shen Yu thought about it, looking for a guide everywhere, and wanted to go to the place where the Yao people live.In fact, it is not just about knowing the living conditions of these Yao people. In the records, he saw Yao people using a poisonous smoke ball, which made Shen Yu very curious.Could it be that the imperial court couldn't learn a thing or two from what the Yao people could make?

Shen Yu thought of more, Saibei wind is strong, and this kind of weapon that emits poisonous smoke may be more useful.

But Li Tongpan didn't know where he heard about it, so he tried his best to argue with reason, and tried to persuade him with good words, for fear that Shen Yu's wolf would fall into the tiger's mouth, and the group of them would be overwhelmed and walk around.

Shen Yu had no choice but to put aside the idea of ​​going in person for the time being, and instead sent a person to accompany him, the reason is also ready-made, teaching Chinese.

After Shen Yu took office, he wrote to the court for the first time.The memorial mainly stated two things: first, please set up a city ship department to issue business certificates and escort for merchants going to sea, and collect city ship taxes to open up Guangzhou's sea and barbarian roads.The second is the paddy field fish farming technology, please promote it in various places.

At the same time, the first batch of letters came from the capital, not only from home, but also from relatives and friends.The letters from home were nothing more than stating that everything was fine, asking about his health, and then Shen He asked if there was Shen Jia's whereabouts.On the other hand, Shen Lin, who didn't know whether she was voluntary or forced, attached an article for her eldest brother to read.

Shen Yu immediately replied with a pen, writing down the scene of her reunion with her aunt's family, and also wrote about the recent situation of her cousins.Furthermore, he conscientiously helped Shen Lin to correct the essay, and sent the family letter and memorial back to Beijing together.

The Song family also sent a letter, only mentioning that Jiao Niang was sent back to the family, and His Majesty also issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, so I am very grateful.

Teacher Zhou Kuang's letter was written plainly, but between the lines, one can feel that the struggle in the court has reached a fever pitch.At this time, he couldn't be by Wu Junyi's side.Shen Yu felt somewhat indebted in her heart.

Guo Yi and the princess got married successfully, and when Yaner was newlywed, he also wrote to him.The letter also mentioned that Guo Xin had already returned home, and it seemed that His Majesty had no intention of becoming an empress. All the selected sons of good families were returned, and only a few of them were married.He also mentioned that the eldest son of King Chu, that is, Wu Jihuan, the child born to Shen Yue, has already been conferred the crown prince.If there is no accident, it is a certainty that he will inherit the throne when he becomes an adult.

The last one didn't have a signature, and Shen Yu could recognize it from Wu Junyi just by looking at the words on the envelope.He opened the envelope with a smile, and couldn't help thinking that since he hadn't written a letter for so long, Wu Junyi didn't know how much he would complain, but when he pinched the thin paper, Shen Yu was stunned.

There are only [-] simple words in Wu Junyi's handwriting: look at the sun and the moon, and think about it.The cloud of Tao is far away, can He Yun come?
