Respect the little husband [farming]

Facts have proved that it is really not the county below him that there is a problem. This year, Yuzhou has good weather, peace and stability, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is a rare good year. This group of refugees came from the southern state.

Ge Zhengzhuo was sitting on the high hall of the government office, surrounded by officials from several nearby counties who had urgently called over. official documents.

Several nearby counties did report the refugees who suddenly appeared recently, and the number and origins were clearly written. However, Ge Zhengzhuo has been busy with the Spring Festival for the past few days and has delayed processing official documents, so he didn't know about it.

Now refugees can be seen not only in a few nearby places, but even in remote counties in Yuzhou, and no disasters have occurred in various places. When investigating the origin of the refugees, most of them point to outside the prefecture.

Ge Zhengzhuo's complexion looked better at this moment, he dropped the official document in his hand, and looked at them one by one like he couldn't help feeling disgusted: "Look at your guilty looks, even if you report everything about the refugees, you must be fine." Take care of this."

A county magistrate who was closer to him raised his hands above his head and said respectfully: "These refugees appeared suddenly, and we don't know how to deal with them. For the safety of the people in the city, we can only drive them away first."

"Yes, you all chased them away one by one, didn't you drive them all to my place!" Ge Zhengzhuo slapped the table hard, making all the officials below tremble in fright, "Your place is safe, but I Pingyuefu What? In such a short time, there are already three hundred refugees outside, what do you think should be done?!"

The courtroom was quiet for a while, and the people below looked at each other quietly. Before Ge Zhifu was about to get angry again, a person tentatively replied: "This year, all the counties have a surplus in addition to the grain handed in. Why don't you take it first?" Food came out to appease..."

Ge Zhengzhuo was so angry that he rolled his eyes and turned his head away. It was like a bunch of pigs, and cursed:

"There are refugees all over the place. How long can the few stones of food you have left last? What if there is no food to distribute again? Is it possible to use your family's food to feed those refugees?"

The people below suddenly shrank their necks and dared not speak.

Tong Zhi said from the day school: "It's useless to argue now. The most urgent thing now is to find out the reasons for the refugees, and then report them to the imperial court. The imperial court will allocate funds to appease them. We in Yuzhou cannot afford so many refugees."

What he said is reasonable, but the imperial court is required to allocate funds... I don’t say whether I will pay attention to it or not, even if it is allocated, the upper layer will be exploited layer by layer, and in Yuzhou’s hands, there must be no one in ten. In the end, they are in Yuzhou. The state suffers.

Ge Zhengzhuo took out the map of Yuzhou with a sullen face. If he wanted to enter Yuzhou from the south, there were only three entrances. One was through the Yuejiang River, and the other two were by land. The Yuejiang River could not enter without a boatman, so Most of the refugees came in through the two land entrances, so Ge ​​Zhengzhuo ordered:

"Seal these two ports first. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If there is anything to do, we will use the waterway. In addition, we will send someone to find out which state has the problem."

This is also strange. Instead of going to Minzhou, which is the closest to Jiangnan, instead of going to Yuzhou, it is possible that the accident happened in Minzhou, so shouldn't they go to Jiangnan?

His term of office is only a little over a year, and Ge Zhengzhuo has a headache because of this kind of thing. Originally, Yuzhou was suspected by the court because of its treacherous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and had the least number of troops. The hat of the people trying to rebel.

"As for the group of refugees, send people back to their hometowns or send them directly to the border area. Anyway, they can't gather at the gate of the city. Those who don't obey will be driven into the surrounding forest to fend for themselves."

The people below nodded, and retreated. Zhang Yujian stood outside the door and hesitated for a while, before going in to persuade him: "My lord, suppression is not the best policy. There are so many of them, and forcible repatriation may desperately resist and cause even greater riots." , I hope adults think twice."

"In Yuzhou, I want money but have no money, and food but no food. If I don't do this, I would like to hear your opinion, Zhang Xunjian."

Zhang Yujian frowned and didn't say a word for a while.

Ge Zhengzhuo snorted, and said: "I know you are also from a refugee background, and I feel more empathetic to the situation of the refugees, but the stable life of the people in Yuzhou is not caused by strong winds. If you don't suppress it, don't you wait for them to rob the people of their money?" ?”

Zhang Yujian gritted her teeth and asked back: "The lord said just now that there is still a surplus of grain in each county, why didn't you—"

"Bastard!" Ge Zhengzhuo was in a hurry, threw the paperweight out, and slammed it on Zhang Yujian's feet with a "slap", "Those are all from Yuzhou, and if the harvest is not good next year, we need to rely on them to make up for the vacancy, how can we act rashly! "

Zhang Yujian stared at him silently, the atmosphere was tense for a while, Cong Zhouxue said slowly: "The main thing to appease the refugees is the imperial court. If the situation is serious, the imperial court will definitely not sit idly by. Master Zhang, please don't go too far." In a hurry."

Zhang Yujian lowered her eyes and went out without saying a word.

"The official is not big, but the temper is not small." Ge Zhengzhuo spat, turned out the notebook and pondered how to write it, after all, it was submitted to the Holy Majesty, so he should not be careless.

......

Wen Lening Mansion, study room.

Shen Wenxuan stood by the window and looked at the servants coming in and out of the gate of the mansion. They were holding food, firewood, iron pots or other things in their hands. There should be no looting and looting when the porridge is served.

A new potted plant was placed by the window, filled with new soil, and the peach blossom branches that Ajiao gave him were planted. Watering and fertilizing every day should make them live longer, he thought, stroking its buds gently with his fingers .

"Young master." Wang Muze and Zhao Er walked in.

Shen Wenxuan looked back at them and asked, "How did you find out?"

Wang Muze: "After leaving Pingle Mansion from the west city gate, you can see a waterfall after half an hour's walk. It is a tributary of the Yuejiang River flowing down from a high mountain. It is thirty feet high. The land is all mountainous. We have inquired, and it belongs to the government.”

"But less than twenty miles away from here is the drying yard of the Yu family's porcelain-making cave. It's a bit strange that we are doing blacksmithing business in that deserted place. Will it attract the attention of the Yu family?"

Shen Wenxuan pondered for a while, and asked, "Has Zhang Shun's goods come back this time?"

Wang Muze: "It is estimated that it will arrive in three or four days."

"Then buy that piece of land as soon as possible in the next few days and build a bigger blacksmith shop." Shen Wenxuan walked to the desk and took out the blueprints that he had drawn a few days ago. The carpenter made the hydraulic lathe on the drawing."

Daqing already knows how to make bobbins to convert hydraulic power into mechanical energy. On this basis, there is already a water row for iron smelting and blasting. It should not be a problem to make hydraulic lathes. It is nothing more than the precise coordination of the converted mechanical energy among multiple sets of gears. The workpiece on one side is rotated, and the other side drives the screw to move the tool holder or screw laterally.

Shen Wenxuan: "As for the Yu family, pass a few greeting cards, I will visit the head of the Yu family in a few days."

"Yes." Wang Muze and Zhao Er retreated, and Luo Zhi and Yu Jing, who had been waiting outside for a long time, hurried in.

"Long time no see, two bosses." Shen Wenxuan sat on the chair behind the table with a slight smile on his face, trying to be as kind as possible. After all, it's not good to keep a straight face to his subordinates.

"Yeah, I haven't seen each other for a few days, only seven or eight days." Luo Zhi forced a "haha" laugh a few times. For some reason, seeing him laugh always gave off an ominous feeling, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Yu Jing stood upright beside him without speaking.

Shen Wenxuan: "Shouldn't there be any false accounts?"

"No, no, absolutely not, how is this possible?" Luo Zhi was sweating on his forehead, and hurriedly took out the ledger from his sleeve and put it on his desk. He was too nervous and twitched slightly, but he didn't dare to cover it up.

This is all because this person is not very good at checking the accounts. He flipped through the pages of a thick account at random, and he read it in less than a stick of incense, and he could see everything clearly.

Jingshui Building is okay, there are a few minor oversights, but the accounts are all correct.Zuixiaolou was very courageous, and Shen Wenxuan found out the fraudulent account the next day. Yu Jing was so frightened that he pushed the blame on the accountant. In the end, the accountant was replaced, and Yu Jing's dividend for a year was halved. , But everyone knows who wants to make fake accounts.

Yu Jing secretly raised his head and glanced at Shen Wenxuan. Until now, every time he saw him, his calves were shaking, but he never dared to make false accounts since that time!

Shen Wenxuan raised his eyebrows: "I was just joking, you two don't have to take it seriously, since the account books have been brought over, I will take a look at it later, as for why I called you this time... do you two have successors? ?”

Luo Zhi and Yu Jing were silent for a moment.

"Don't get excited, I didn't ask you to leave," Shen Wenxuan added before they were about to blow up, "If there is a successor, I plan to let them open a branch in the county below, and you two will still be in charge. There are sixteen counties, and the number of counties is even greater, you can’t always make hot pot in Fucheng, right?”

Luo Zhi and Yu Jing suddenly realized what he meant, and their hanging hearts suddenly fell to the ground.

Luo Zhi: "My two nephews are fine."

"Luo Fu can't leave, let Luo Zhi go." Shen Wenxuan said.

Yu Jing: "I, my chef has several apprentices, all of whom are pretty good."

"Then you go down and make arrangements. Every branch you open will be your two to three percent dividend. Besides, the refugees outside the city gate know it? I set up a porridge shed outside the city, and the place where you open a branch will also set up a porridge shed outside the city." The porridge shed is doing charity, in the name of Shen Wenxuan from the Shen family, understand?"

"Understood, understood! Young master is really a kind person." Luo Zhi smiled and flattered him, while Yu Jing nodded beside him.

good man?Shen Wenxuan was noncommittal, maybe it was more suitable for him to seek fame.

"When you have free time, go outside the city gate to learn from Yan Qi. I think he's done a good job." Shen Wenxuan said, waving his hand to signal that they can leave.

After looking through the two ledgers they brought, Shen Wenxuan glanced at the sky outside, got up and went back to his room.

Before entering the door, he remembered the matter of bathing his feet during the Spring Festival, so he turned another corner and went to the kitchen to get a basin of warm water.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw that Jiao Shihan had already changed into her middle clothes, and was sitting on the bed with her knees hugged. Her two white and tender feet were exposed outside, her toes were slightly curled up, and she was cute and tight. She spread the bedding with green sleeves and bowed to Shen Wenxuan. out.

"Waiting for a long time?" Shen Wenxuan put the basin in his hand beside the bed, found a chair and sat opposite him.

Jiao Shihan shook her head, slowly stretched out her foot to test the temperature of the water, and immediately retracted it the next second: "It's so hot."

Shen Wenxuan was dazed, took off his shoes and socks and soaked them in for a try: "It's not hot, the temperature is just right."

Jiao Shihan put her feet on his feet and stepped on them: "It's much better this way."

Shen Wenxuan looked at the feet that were obviously smaller than his own and laughed, rubbing them with his toes: "Jiao Jiao wants to wash with me, so just say so, you have to do something like this."

"I don't." Jiao Shihan's cheeks were a little red, he let him rub his feet, couldn't help laughing when he was poked at the itchy spot, and dodged in the basin.

Shen Wenxuan grabbed one of his ankles and fished him out of the water, picked up a towel to wipe off the water droplets on his feet, his toes became pink due to the heat, like a cat's pink pads, Shen Wenxuan's hands His movements couldn't help but slowed down, his eyes slowly slid from the tip of his toes to the bottom of his feet inch by inch, and his eyes became dark.

Not sure what it would taste like if you took a bite.

Jiao Shihan lowered his head and stared at the other foot in the basin, and suddenly called out: "Brother."

"Huh?" Shen Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at him with a harmless face.

"Brother...you, do you like...children?" Jiao Shihan asked, still caring about what Yu Zizhen said in his heart. Although he was very cruel at the time, he was still pierced.

Shen Wenxuan: "..."

Is this question a bit restrictive?

"Why do you ask this?" Shen Wenxuan asked, lifting his other foot to wipe it.

Is it implying marriage?

Shen Wenxuan paused, and the light bulb in his mind suddenly lit up.

"Just... just asking casually, you are usually very nice to Ping'er and Brother Wen, you should like it, right?" Jiao Shihan felt a little uneasy.

"I don't like them because they are children, but I like them because you like me." Shen Wenxuan held his ankles, leaned over and kissed his forehead, "Don't reverse the priority, you are the most important of."

Jiao Shihan covered her forehead, her cheeks and ears were slowly turning red, watching Shen Wenxuan's heart beating "boom-boom-boom", it hurt her chest a bit.

"A Jiao, let's choose an auspicious day to get married." Shen Wenxuan smiled softly, although he could not give him the life he wanted under his current conditions, but if A Jiao wanted——

"No." Jiao Shihan said, shyly rubbing her toes against each other.

The smile on the corner of Shen Wenxuan's mouth cracked instantly, and his heart sank down and down: "Why, why?"

"The last time was the day of Ah Xuan's election, let me choose this time." Jiao Shihan blushed and didn't dare to look up at him, "I don't want to pick a random date to get married, I want, I want to get married on Ah Xuan's birthday, Because Ah Xuan chose my birthday last time, so, that's it."

Shen Wenxuan looked at him dumbfounded, but his heart was unbearably soft: "It's Ghost Festival that day."

Jiao Shihan smiled: "That day I married you to make you happy."

How can he be so cute?

Shen Wenxuan stared at it for a long time, lowered his eyes and smiled, "As you wish."

Even if you want my life now, I want to hand over the knife to you.

The author has something to say: Yan Qi: This is the porridge Shen Wenxuan gave you, remember the words Shen Wenxuan!Shen Wenxuan is a very kind person!Living Bodhisattva!Tathagata Buddha!Western bliss!I will remember it all! (repeated infinitely)
