Quick thread: Xiao Qingmei became a millionaire after focusing on tea art

Most of the bandits voluntarily surrendered.Shen Xihan arranged for them to build some public facilities, which gave them a chance to make a difference.

Although Liangzhou County is now in dire straits, everyone can see hope amidst the ruins.

The county government officials who were originally worried seemed to have found the deeper meaning of their position when they felt the sincere praise and love of the people.For a time, everyone in Liangzhou County felt proud and honored to be able to work in the government office.

Shen Xihan did not let the praise from the outside disrupt his mood.He knew that the problems in Liangzhou County were not limited to bandits and squire rebellion. He also needed to do a lot more.

Take the most basic food issue in Liangzhou County, for example.Liangzhou is surrounded by mountains and the landform is similar to a basin. There is little rain and drought all year round, resulting in relatively barren land.Planting rice was naturally out of the question. People in Liangzhou also tried growing northern wheat, but with little success.

"Do you already have a countermeasure in mind?"

Jinli asked softly while handling the petals.

"Ah."

Shen Xihan smiled at her, and then told her all his thoughts.

It turned out that he had already found some crops that he thought were suitable for planting in Liangzhou. Almost as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou, he had already sent people to test them on several small plots of land, and the results were good.Among them are potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, okra, cassava, and sweet potatoes, which Jinli is familiar with.

Not only crops that are usually used for food, Shen Xihan also specially experimented with several beautiful and rare flowers, such as iris, evening primrose and so on.

"The main thing is to let the people have enough to eat, and then slowly open up trade routes, and the goods will circulate, and the people of Liangzhou will naturally be able to eat food from other places." Shen Xihan said slowly.

It does not mean that the people of Liangzhou will only eat potatoes and sweet potatoes from now on.

Jinli's eyes brightened slightly and he said softly: "Cang Yun is obviously a scholar, peasant, industrialist, and businessman, with distinct classes. Why do I feel that you seem to like to hear about business development?"

Shen Xihan chuckled and said slowly: "It's not about developing commerce, it's about developing productivity. I've read many books and found that the prosperity of past dynasties is always all-round. There are always various relationships between business, politics, culture and military. Maybe. People do have class distinctions, but these cannot be discussed. As long as commerce circulates, in order to live a better life, people will think about how to make more money, and they will naturally come up with ways to save work and effort. , making more convenient agricultural tools, etc..."

"After all, I am only one person. A large county cannot always do everything by myself. The golden mean mentioned by the sage is to let everyone be in their own position and do their own thing. Only in this way can the world be prosperous. "

Jinli finished processing the petals, and when she was about to enter, she suddenly turned around and smiled at him, saying, "Shen Xihan, you are right. You are in your position and performing your duties, and you are doing a good job."

……

The people in Liangzhou County are simple and open-minded compared to the capital city. Jinli has become familiar with the neighbors without realizing it.

When she was in this small county town, she always had a sense of tranquility, even though many changes had taken place in Liangzhou County over the past year.

Under Shen Xihan's governance and suggestions, Liangzhou County became much richer, and the people of Liangzhou County were able to live and work in peace and contentment like people in other places.Several historic sites in Liangzhou County have also been repaired, and the scenery has become extremely beautiful and full of unique cultural connotations.

"Ah Li, I have received your Majesty's appointment letter and will be rushing to the capital soon. Do you... still want to stay here? Or... return to the capital with me?"

Shen Xihan looked at Jinli and asked seriously.

When Jinli heard what he said, the hand that was grinding the medicinal materials paused for a moment, as if he was a little surprised, but also as if he had expected it.She looked at Shen Xihan and shook her head, saying, "I quite like living here, so I won't go with you."

A flash of disappointment flashed in Shen Xihan's eyes, but this was Jinli's own decision and he had no way to interfere.Shen Xihan's eyes were filled with emotions, and he couldn't help but step forward and get closer to Jinli.Ever since the hug that night when the bandits were suppressed, Shen Xihan had never done anything transgressive towards Jinli, except calling her a slightly affectionate name.

He looked at Jinli with more gentle and focused eyes, as if treating some fragile treasure, and his clear voice was somewhat magnetic: "Ahli, I asked you before if you like me. One year has passed, you have No... do you like me more?"

Jinli looked at him and thought of every detail of their relationship over the past year.Shen Xihan always treated her with every detail, and was willing to take the initiative to talk to her about many things and would not hide them from her.She lived a comfortable and leisurely life in Liangzhou, and now she is able to adapt to the local customs and customs of Liangzhou so well, which is mostly due to Shen Xihan's company.

"Yeah. Shen Xihan, I like you."

The woman's attitude was calm, and her words were like pebbles hitting Shen Xihan's heart, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and there was already a hint of joy when he spoke again: "I have also paid attention to the situation at the border this year... Ah Li, Mr. Xie is brave and good at fighting, and he has sent back to Beijing one after another good news. I believe it. Soon, he will be victorious and return to the court. By then... Will Ah Li marry me?"

"Ah Li, Li Li, I have loved you for a long time and have always wanted to marry you."

Shen Xihan's confession is like a lover's whisper in the ear, lingering and tender.

Naturally, he mentioned Xie Yunqin not because he knew that there was such a love rival.But Cangyun's law stipulates that if a woman remarries after her husband dies, she must observe the mourning period for her husband and obtain the consent of her husband's family before she can successfully remarry.

Shen Xihan had heard about Xie Yunqin's deeds for a long time. He knew that he was talented and famous, so he must not be unreasonable and insist on his sister-in-law to keep his brother's integrity.But no matter what, what he needed to understand most was Jinli's thoughts.

As long as she affirms it, his love is meaningful.
