Shen Langgui

Aunt Yin still needs some time to tidy up, so Shen Yue Yinzhang went back to Xianmiandu for lunch first.Now Shen Yue is also used to the excitement of eating at the table of master and servant, even if Xun He is not around, he can still eat warmly with Da Shun Yinzhang.

It was different from the past, after he put down his job, a young servant came in to report that someone wanted to see him, Shen Yue asked the young servant to dismiss him on the grounds that Xun He was not there, but unexpectedly the young servant said that the man came here specifically to find Shen Yue.

The rich door in the front yard was open, and one person and one horse stood behind the door. The horses were tall and strong, and the man was not inferior in stature. Shen Yue recognized him just from his back and asked, "What are you doing here again?"

When the man turned his head, it was Chu Yegong who escaped his wife's ward rounds under the cover of Shen Yue that day. When he saw Shen Yue, he shouted in a rough voice: "Can I find you for entertainment?"

Shen Yue never liked to joke around with others, upon hearing this, he turned cold and walked back.

"Hey, why are you still with this dead virtue... Ah! Don't be angry... Hey! You're still walking so fast... Okay, I really have something serious to talk to you about!"

Shen Yue stopped abruptly, Chu Yegong bumped his nose behind him, and then covered the sore spot, Shen Yue's voice came from above his head: "Say."

After pulling away his hand to make sure there was no nosebleed, Chu Yegong said, "Hey, it's about the disaster victims in the Yunjiang area."

"Oh?"

"A Yue, you can't be more polite. Anyway, I'm a guest, so please invite me into the room to sit and talk."

Shen Yue led people back to Nanmu Hall in silence, and immediately a little maid served tea, Shen Yue said: "Is it about the resettlement of the victims?"

Chu Yegong smiled wryly and shook his head: "I heard that the prefects of Guangling and Pengcheng mobilized wealthy businessmen to contribute more relief food, and disaster victims from several nearby counties and cities flocked to the city, but there were too many monks and too little porridge. Now, the rice soup donated is as clear as a bowl. In the end, it’s not that the government is being stingy, it’s really...there is no food available. It’s not a long-term solution to rely solely on the government to open warehouses for relief!”

"Now that the flood has receded for a long time, why don't you order them to return to their hometown?"

"The villagers all said that the rice fields were flooded, and they were doomed to have no harvest this autumn. Instead of going home and starving, it would be better to live without food in this city. For this matter, the yamen sent people to persuade them and force them to do so. In the end, some of the victims were expelled outside the city, but it was useless, and they just lay flat on the ground at the gate of the city. What else can I do, is it possible to kill others?"

After being silent for a while, Shen Yue said: "Isn't there summer rice, the seedlings for the next spring harvest?"

"Summer rice also needs to be planted in early summer. Now it's midsummer. The season has passed. No matter how hard you spend, I'm afraid there will be a poor harvest next year, and the victims are not willing to take risks... Sigh. I'm here this time, in fact, I should be looking for Qiu. Doctor."

"Oh?" As soon as he heard Xun He's name, Shen Yue became interested.

"His method is very good. He arranged for the victims to learn weaving skills. Firstly, the victims have a place to go, and secondly, he can also complete the production."

Shen Yue immediately understood Chu Yegong's meaning: "He did it as a stopgap measure. The Yunjiang River is so big, we can't tell all the disaster victims in the province to abandon farming and change to weaving."

"I know this, so I came to you to discuss the plan."

After thinking for a while, Shen Yue said: "The Yunjiang River is near the sea, and every flood must bear the brunt of it. However, the neighboring provinces of Jianghuai, West Zhejiang, and Shannan have not seen much movement, and the grain has been abundant every year in recent years."

"You mean... Yunjiang is not suitable for growing rice?"

Shen Yue didn't respond positively, but started another topic: "Yunjiang occupies two of Jiangning and Suzhou among the three major weaving prefectures in China. It is actually a large weaving province, but the raw silk used for weaving is stretched every year, and even has to be dispatched from neighboring provinces. In the final analysis, it is actually the lack of mulberry fields planted in the Yunjiang River. In my opinion, it is better to adapt to the situation of the Yunjiang River and change the rice into mulberry and plant mulberry seedlings instead of planting rice in a square and round shape to follow the flow.”

Chu Yegong pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's interesting. Mulberry seedlings are trees anyway, not weaker than rice. If there is another flood in the coming year, at least it won't flood the rice fields with muddy land in three or two days. In this case , not only the disaster victims finally have a place to go, but compared with rice, the benefits of planting mulberry and silkworms to produce silk are much higher, killing two birds with one stone, I will write a memorial to report to the court when I go back."

However, Shen Yue shook his head and sighed: "The disaster victims have been planting rice for generations, but now they are suddenly asked to plant mulberry seedlings. Most of them are unwilling. When mobilizing, we need to talk more about comfort."

"That's right." Chu Yegong smacked his lips again and again: "Your arrangement is more detailed than a carnivore like me. You remember Zicheng's routes for quite a long time."

Shen Yue sneered: "Prime Minister Zi? Zi Chong's position as prime minister has become history, let's change his words in the future."

Chu Yegong was surprised: "You mean Prime Minister Zi was dismissed!? I just got the news this morning, and your eyes and ears are good enough!"

Shen Yue didn't answer, but Chu Yegong sighed: "Before the Qing Dynasty, the reputation of Emperor Xuan's arrogance and extravagance and Emperor Cheng's respect and thrift was spread by Zichong, so it was possible for Emperor Cheng to practice Zuo so smoothly, and the people applauded. The Prime Minister has only met a few times, but he is the most flexible person I have ever met, but this time, Prime Minister Zi is so ignorant, knowing that he is attacking a stone with an egg, he still wants to prevent Emperor Cheng from moving south."

Shen Yue replied indifferently: "Forget me to treat a gentleman with a villain's heart. The credit is too much, and it is inevitable that I will take myself too seriously. Rein in the precipice, rein in the hero, if I can't be reined in...Zi Chong is not bad this time. Yes, Emperor Cheng just ordered him to return to his hometown to rest and take a bath, he should be lucky that he didn't fall off the cliff."

Chu Yegong nodded: "Speaking of which, Qiu Langzhong is really good at this point. He was the first person to support Emperor Cheng's move to the capital, and then he took on the errand of paying tribute to the timber. After flattering all over, it is no wonder that Emperor Cheng gave him the lucrative job of weaving doctor in Jiangning. Qiu Langzhong is now the highest-ranked businessman in the history of Daqi, if he continues to grasp Emperor Cheng's mind, the boundless future is just around the corner!"

Shen Yue sneered: "It's just a dignitary, but I want you to know how much this person will suffer in the future, and how many people dare to take this job. The Jiangning Weaving Mansion has only just been established, and everything is waiting to be done. Ah Li just arrived At that time, there were more than 1000 looms in the Weaving Bureau working non-stop. Knowing that there were not enough manpower, Supervisor Zhao set a target for an annual output of [-] in the first year. However, during the inspection in the middle of the year, most of the silk inspected was The people below bought it from the silk merchant." Speaking of this, Shen Yue was particularly angry, drank the tea in one gulp, threw the cup back to the tea tray with a 'bang', and continued, "The one you just praised No one thought of the clever plan of arranging the victims before, but no official was willing to take the trouble to deal with the victims. The Jiangning government has not allocated half of the national funds so far. A Li feared that it would be too late, so he personally dispatched nine weavers from Hangzhou Go north to Jiangning to teach skills. How many businessmen in the world would dare to accept such a lucrative business!"

Chu Yegong was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Then... What is Qiu Langzhong planning?"

"What is he trying to figure out, haha... Ah Li just lives too clearly, knows something, but can't figure it out!" Shen Yue was extremely helpless, "Guozhiminyou, Guozhiminyou, the wisdom of the ancient man-made words can be seen. Where does the national fat come from, and the people’s fat is taken from it! But the people’s fat is plundered too fiercely, and it will arouse civil uprisings. All the money earned and all the money earned will be confiscated and handed over. If you don’t bother to please, Ah Li will become the richest man in the world, but he will be nothing but a scorpion, and his death will only happen sooner or later!"

Chu Yegong couldn't answer, and after a long time, he patted Shen Yue on the shoulder, and comforted him in a deep voice: "Back then, the imperial court confiscated Shen's mansion to fund the military. You have been vigilant until now. That's right, people gathered by power can What's the end? Ayue, you made a good retreat with this move. You pulled out in time and kept your body. But I don't understand why you live in Qiu Langzhong's house? The reasoning just now is a lesson for you from Shen's house , taught Qiu Langzhong?"

Shen Yue didn't reply in time, and after a while, he quietly asked Chu Yegong: "The time Mrs. Chu came to my place, did you go to see the young lady for entertainment?"

Chu Yegong was stunned, hesitating: "Yes... yes, good brother, I have nothing to keep from you, don't tell my wife about it."

Shen Yue once again answered irrelevant questions: "Is Xiaowan fun?"

"It's fun! The cave of ecstasy in the world, compared with women, it's not a special taste," Chu Yegong instantly remembered, "The flower shop is the most popular among the young men in Jiangning City, among which Tingyou, Qilu, Yunxiang You three... wait, Ayue, do you want to taste this too?"

Shen Yue didn't want to misunderstand Chu Yegong, so he bluntly defended: "No. I just want to ask Xiao Guan about techniques."

"What? You... you have a hidden disease?"

Shen Yue shook his head: "No, I just want him to be happier in love affairs."

Chu Yegong was shocked: "Wait! Let me try to figure out what you said... No wonder! I wondered why you just yelled 'A-li' hotly. It turns out that you two...I understand why you are staying here , Shen Yue has you, I can only sneak a taste of something new, you are better, just hide in someone's house and be upright! Tell me, how long do you plan to play, and come out to be your general after playing enough?"

Shen Yue was finally amused, he suppressed his smile for a while, and said: "I don't mean to play, for A Li, I have the intention of living a life."

Seeing Shen Yue's serious appearance, Chu Yegong was very worried and said: "This... Ayue, you can't take a joke! There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the biggest. You have no marriage so far. If you don't leave a descendant for yourself, I'm afraid In the future, I will not be able to explain to my parents when I go down to the underworld!"

"Living with Ah Li is not a momentary fever, I figured it out. Anyway, I married a wife and had children in my early years. At that time, my concubine was jealous and drugged my first wife when she gave birth, causing her to die of dystocia. Marriage is mostly a makeshift life, but for this makeshift life, women can actually kill each other... I am tired, and instead of pulling another woman to share my bed with me, I would rather live according to my heart. After being with Ah Li, I For the first time, I understand that no matter how much fame and fortune you have, it's not as good as having a loved one by your side." What's more, Shen Yue was still aware of the fact that Xun He had saved his bloodline this morning, and he didn't even have any worries about future generations. It's gone, Shen Yue has nothing to be afraid of.

General Chu choked on dog food, and took a while to answer: "Yes, you have always been a cautious person. You must have merit in making this decision. I'll take it with you someday when I'm free." When you go to the restaurant, don't forget my credit. Oh yes, what time is it now?"

The little girl at the door said bluntly: "Report to Lord, it's time to apply."

Chu Yegong got up in a hurry: "Oh, I didn't pay attention to what I said for so long. Today is the ten-day holiday. Qiu'er wants me to accompany her to choose new fashions. I have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be another meal when I go back. Training."

After sending Chu Yegong outside the door, until the figure disappeared at the corner of the street, Shen Yue finally understood the long-term backlog of something missing in his heart.

Xun He is still the original Shen Li, but compared to before, he always feels that there is something missing in him now. At this moment, Shen Yue finally understands that what Xun He lacks is the arrogance that a lover should have.He never acted like a baby, never asked for anything from himself, he was so obedient, so obedient... Like a porcelain doll that Shen Yue could hold in his hands?

However, Xun He has a temperament that keeps everything in his heart and refuses to open his mouth. Even if he asks, he will be afraid to trouble himself and prevaricate.Forget it, don't do these useless efforts, just let him pamper him.Thinking about it, Shen Yue had already walked to the deep forest of Lanxiu. At this time, the shadow of Xianyuntan was long, and he remembered that Xunhe used to love to eat crisps. Today, the first lotus flower bloomed in the small yard, so why not make him a lotus cake? Satisfy your hunger.
