Respect the little husband [farming]

Xuanyu Liulifang.

It just opened today, and the sound of firecrackers outside the store has just dissipated. The ground is covered with residual firecracker debris, but the excitement has not diminished. The hall in Liulifang is full of seats like listening to books, and a temporary platform is set up in the middle. , the seats were crowded with people, all of whom were well-known and wealthy people in Pingle Mansion.

In addition to the sitting hall in the middle, there is a circle of counters around, behind which are carefully crafted glazed sets of five-color glass snuff bottles, embossed flowers and birds in yellow material, ruby ​​red material with cloud and bat patterns, glazed kang screens, etc. All kinds of glass cups on the walls, and only the outer walls of the lanterns hanging from the roof are all made of glass.

"This, this has never been seen in this life."

The people in the lobby sighed with emotion, looking around the counter again and again, the lobby was extremely noisy for a while.

"Everyone be quiet, be quiet! It's about to start!" The host Xiaoer walked onto the stage and said loudly.

After the people below are all seated, Xiaoer continued: "I think you all know that Liuli is the treasure of treasures, a treasure that is only used by the emperor's relatives. Now, it is a great honor for everyone to come here for the sake of face." Good luck. In addition to the first floor, we still have things on the second floor of Liulifang, but they are not open yet, let me show you a few, if you are interested, the highest price will get it."

"Is there anything else here?" Someone asked in surprise.

"It's just that the things in the lobby are already unbearable. I don't know where the Yu family found the peerless porcelain craftsman. Not only is this newly opened Liulifang, but also the kiln opposite. There are more new porcelains in it than before. There are several tricks, which are exquisite and ingenious."

"Hahahahahahahaha, brothers, are you ready for the money? You already spent a lot on the opposite side yesterday, and now it seems that you will have to bleed a lot."

"It's a blessing to see these things last time, let alone buy them with money."

"It's reasonable and reasonable."

Xiao Er didn't talk nonsense, and stepped aside, and the two people below jointly lifted up an object covered with a black cloth, five feet high, and when the black cloth was lifted, all the people sitting in the lobby exclaimed in unison, He stretched his neck and stared at the bright object.

"Liuli mirror, you have to look carefully, it even reflects the things in your eyes clearly."

Xiao Er directed the people to carry the mirror around the stage, and said: "This mirror is only one piece at present, and the starting price is 1000 taels. If you are interested, you can bid. If you are not interested, we will buy one."

"I gave 1000 taels."

"I'll offer 200 taels!"

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

......

The second piece is glazed presbyopic glasses with gold wire edges, which slipped into a row according to the different thicknesses of polishing, a total of ten.

Xiao Er: "Masters, are you still suffering from blurred vision and illiterates when you get older, and your eyes tend to become red and swollen after reading for a long time, and what's more, you will cry in the wind, etc. For this kind of intractable disease, our Liulifang launched Liuli presbyopic glasses, and anyone who has any appeals should try it. You will neither suffer nor be fooled, but it may solve your problem for the rest of your life.”

In addition, there are telescopes, myopia glasses, magnifying glasses, handicrafts and so on.

There is also a shop opened at the same time next to Xuanyu Liulifang, which specializes in all kinds of accessories made of colored glaze. Unlike here, the people sitting here are all men, and the other shop invites all the mistresses and young ladies from big households.

Shen Wenxuan sat in the last row of the lobby, quietly watching the bidders here who showed sportsmanship, spitting, excited, and pulling each other, and finally every piece of colored glaze was carried to the highest place. price was sold.

"Young Master, Prefect Ge is not here." Wang Muze whispered, he went through the list of guests three times, and Tongzhi and Zhang Xunjian were among the ones who didn't come.

Shen Wenxuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked, "How much money is in the account these days?"

Thinking of the silver king Muze, his shoulders trembled with laughter, and he grinned and said, "One hundred thousand silver."

One hundred thousand, this is an astronomical figure that he never dared to dream of.

"Use half of it to appease the refugees in the west, and the other half to buy the vacant properties and shops on both sides of Fuping Street and Chunxi Road. If you don't want to sell, you don't have to force it." Shen Wenxuan ordered, feeling that it was almost time, and got up and left. Liulifang.

"Yes... eh? No, what?!" The smile on Wang Muze's face froze, suspecting that he had heard wrong, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Shen Wenxuan had disappeared before his eyes.

This... [-] is gone like this?

Wang Muze suddenly collapsed into a bitter face, slumped on the chair and writhed like a maggot.

The happiness just now is all fake, only the young master's extravagance is real.

It was still a while before the end here, Wang Muze left Liulifang and went to the pier first, with two large carts behind him.

Zhang Shun was urging porters to hurry up and move things. He has been very busy recently. The only way to get in and out of Yuzhou is the Yuejiang River. There are twice as many cargo ships as before. When he turned around, he saw Wang Muze get off the carriage , hurried to receive:

"Oh dear guest, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"You've done your business properly, I don't worry, and naturally I won't come to disturb you often." Wang Muze smiled, looked around the pier, saw that no one was paying attention here, so he approached Zhang Shun quietly and asked, "My son asked me to ask you, your subordinate People often go out of state, so is it okay outside?"

"This... I'm not trying to scare your young master, outside—" Zhang Shun looked solemn, and slowly shook his head.

"It's very scary. There are corpses on the roadside. The caravans that I went with my men before have disappeared. I heard that they all disappeared on the official road. Fortunately, no one knows what we walked. There is no danger along the way."

"However, son, if something like this happened, I have to think about the people under me. They can't go out to do business anymore."

Wang Muze nodded, Zhang Shun brought back enough goods last time, it can be used for three or four months, but——

"Since it's dangerous outside, even you don't want to go to business, so why are there so many cargo ships here?"

"All places in the state also rely on this river to communicate, so the cargo ships will naturally not disappear, and what's more-" Zhang Shun smiled, and lowered his volume:

"Some of the cargo ships... are not goods at all, but people, who came in from outside the state. I heard that they negotiated a price, saying that one tael of silver can bring one person in, and they promise not to let the government investigate. their guide."

Wang Muze paused: "Then besides Pingle Mansion... there are other places?"

"More, the price in Lai Ping Yuefu is the highest, and the price in other places is less."

"Then, did you see any Qiang people inside or those who acted furtively or sneakily?" Wang Muze couldn't help being anxious.

Zhang Shun couldn't make up his mind, and asked suspiciously: "Qiang people? No, what's the matter with Qiang people? But there are often sneaky people. After all, not everyone can afford money, and there are always a few who secretly board the boat."

Wang Muze was speechless for a while, but he couldn't explain clearly to him, so he frowned and began to explain another matter: "You won't go to the lower states, but Jiangnan should go, right? I'll send someone to go to Jiangnan with you, transport The two cargo behind me."

There are colored glazes inside, and the purpose of transporting them to Jiangnan is to open a glazed workshop in Jiangnan, and use this as a base to inquire about news. When the business in Jiangnan is stable, it will advance the business to the north.

"This..." Zhang Shun was troubled for a while, "Going to Jiangnan is more difficult than leaving Yuzhou. There are not many rich places in our five southwest states, and many places suffer from famine all the year round, so many people go to Jiangnan. A few years ago, the Holy Majesty issued a strict order that people here can only do business with Jiangnan and not go in."

Wang Muze: "...What kind of bullshit rules are these?"

Zhang Shun quickly looked at the people around him, and raised his hand to cover his mouth: "You can't scold casually, if the official hears it, he will arrest you."

"However, if you really want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, there is no way. You can use the route opened by the magistrate. The scholars of Hongzhang Academy go to Beijing to take the exam because of the route opened by the magistrate."

"Prefect?" Wang Muze thought for a while, and said, "Has he ever opened a business?"

Zhang Shun smiled: "That's not true, not only he didn't, but every prefect in the past didn't."

Then what a fart!

Prefect Yamen.

Shen Wenxuan was waiting outside the prefect's study, and the servant behind him was holding a gift box. It wasn't that the prefect deliberately made things difficult for Shen Wenxuan to enter, but that the study was already full of noise, and no one dared to go in to report.

"What are you investigating?! Bullshit!" Ge Zhengzhuo threw all the official documents they submitted to the ground, "You were asked to torture the refugees, and it turned out that they were caused by the entry of the Qiang people? There are even more Outrageous, to say that officers and soldiers rebelled and killed innocent people, can't you see this obvious lie?"

"Ten days ago, I greeted the magistrates of other prefectures. I replied that there was a sudden severe drought this year, and the harvests in various places were not good, and the government's relief funds were not distributed. If I hadn't received these letters, I would I'll be fooled by you idiots so I can't sleep for a few nights!"

Zhang Yujian stood aside. Many of the contents of these official documents were tortured by his soldiers. For this reason, he went out of the state to inquire. No one knows better than him what is going on outside the state. At this time, he gritted his teeth and said:

"If there was a sudden severe drought, it should have happened last summer. Why did so many refugees enter Yuzhou in the beginning of spring this year? Could it be that there was a sudden severe drought in winter? Besides, my subordinates went out to investigate and saw What happened was not hunger everywhere, but blood flowing into rivers."

Cong Zhouxue interjected: "Maybe it's because of the competition for food. It's not uncommon for the people to be so hungry that they even eat their own sons. It's normal for some cases to happen in various places."

"But when those refugees were tortured, not only one or two said that, most of them answered like this—"

"That's because they are afraid of being escorted back to their original place!" Ge Zhengzhuo interrupted him, a martial artist is a martial artist, he doesn't move his mind at all!

Zhang Jianjian bit her cheek with angry eyes: "A few years ago, there were natural disasters such as severe drought in other states, but they all gathered to go to Jiangnan. When did you come to Yuzhou? After much deliberation, it's just that Minzhou can't get through it." That's why I had to divert to Yuzhou!"

"You are imagining!"

Ge Zhengzhuo was so angry that he patted the paperweight. He didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Yujian any more. He looked at the officials below and asked, "How is the situation of the refugees in various places?"

"My lord, the situation...is not very good. Some refugees have already started looting their homes. The city patrolled by soldiers is fine, but the surrounding villages are already miserable."

Ge Zhengzhuo frowned and sighed, feeling distressed in his heart. He had already submitted the report to the imperial court 20 days ago, and since then he has continued to report the situation in Yuzhou every day, but until today, the imperial court has not responded at all. However, other prefectures did not see relief money when they encountered a sudden severe drought. Perhaps the Yuzhou court did not interrupt the management.

"I will tell you that if there are any troublesome refugees in the future, they will be killed without mercy. Don't worry about it. When they know that Yuzhou is not easy to treat, they will naturally go to other places."

Zhang Yujian looked at him fiercely when he heard the words: "You are the official of the parents, how can you belittle the lives of the people so much?"

"I am the parent officer of the people in Yuzhou, not from other states," Ge Zhengzhuo glared at him. "If you want to feel sorry for the people in other states, then resign from the inspection post. Out of sight, out of mind."

Zhang Yujian had nothing to say, and rushed out the door, and the door frame slammed loudly.

Ge Zhengzhuo pointed at him so that his fingers trembled with anger, and said, "Disrespecting the superior and bullying the superior, this... who is the magistrate here?!"

"Of course you are, you are..."

"Master Zhang," Shen Wenxuan called when Zhang Yu briefly passed him, with no expression on his face, "Your Excellency belongs to the Ministry of War, why don't you send a letter to the Ministry of War to ask for more troops in Yuzhou? Wouldn't it be bad to gather riots?"

"You also agree with the magistrate's approach?" Zhang Yujian asked with a frown.

Shen Wenxuan laughed: "My lord has misunderstood. If Yuzhou is allowed to have more troops, then my lord can recruit refugees to serve as soldiers. This will not only reduce the number of refugees, but also rely on them to control the refugees. Isn't it true? Beautiful?"

In this way, more military pay can be obtained, which can be used as disaster relief in disguise.

Zhang Yujian thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your suggestion."

"Your Excellency is welcome."

Shen Wenxuan went in only after the affairs of the study were dealt with and all the officials left, and he sat down on a chair beside him familiarly. out.

"Today, my Liulifang opened, and my lord won't come to support me. I can only come here to enjoy my lord's official prestige, so as to make the business more prosperous."

As soon as he finished saying this, Ge Zhengzhuo felt something was wrong. He raised his eyes and looked at him for a while, and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine today? You were so angry when you saw me during the Spring Festival, but now you will You said nice things, and you even gave gifts, the weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings."

Shen Wenxuan: "I'm happy for the opening of the new store."

Ge Zhengzhuo snorted, opened the gift box, glanced at it, and frowned: "Liu Liqiu? Big gift, what? You have figured it out, and you want to bribe me to change your business registration?"

"No, the businessman is very good." Shen Wenxuan took a look at him, pressed the lid of the box and took the gift box back, "If you are worried, I don't have to give it away, so leave."

"Wait," Ge Zhengzhuo pushed his hand away, put the box back, and finally regained the familiar feeling, "I'll make you arrogant."

Ge Zhengzhuo turned the glazed ball around, and suddenly asked: "I remember you came from Jingzhou, what did you see along the way?"

"You don't want to believe it," Shen Wenxuan said, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and smiled, "But I can give you a suggestion. Your Excellency has been an official for so many years, and you must know quite a few people in the court. Why don't you write it in private?" The letter asked about the court's attitude towards the Yuzhou refugees, after all, the court has not responded to the letter, and it is not an option to spend all the time."

Ge Zhengzhuo held the glazed ball in his hand and said nothing, he thought for a long time and said, "A few old friends celebrated their birthdays recently, I should greet them."

Shen Wenxuan nodded, and said: "Since the gift has been accepted by the lord, and Shen has other matters, I will not disturb you in handling official duties. Let me take my leave."

As he spoke, he was about to sit up from the chair.

"Wait a minute, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Putting down the glazed ball in his hand, Ge Zhengzhuo leaned on the chair and gave him a meaningful look, and asked, "This colored glaze looks good to me, you should be able to earn a lot of money, right?"

Shen Wenxuan raised his eyebrows: "My lord, have you forgotten that I am still in charge of the refugees in the west? How many people are there? I think it is more than [-] people, right? No land, no house, no food. , that is a bottomless pit, and all the money earned by Liuli is poured into it without even making a sound, why don't you, my lord, help me?"

This stinky boy!

Ge Zhengzhuo gave him a hard look, and waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and get lost!"

If he dares to intervene in his Liuli distribution, this kid will definitely dare to let go of the refugees!

Shen Wenxuan laughed, turned around and walked briskly.

Old thing, whose bowl do you want to grab food from?

Without taking the carriage, Shen Wenxuan walked all the way back, and took a look at Luo Fu's cake shop. Today Liulifang opened, and everyone was attracted away. It was a little deserted than before, but Luo Fu was fine. Idle, bored in the kitchen, trying new recipes, teaching apprentices by the way, and when his business here is stable, he has to send apprentices to open branches elsewhere.

Shen Wenxuan didn't bother him, ordered a box of cakes and left.

In a few days, we have to open a carpentry shop, and the Soviet-style furniture and Cantonese-style furniture will sell well in the north and south without any problem.

Approaching the door of the house, Shen Wenxuan suddenly stopped, and there was a person standing wretchedly at the corner in front of him, his eyes kept looking into the corner, no matter how he looked, he looked like a person who was letting the wind go, but that direction... seemed to be his house back door,

Approaching quietly, Shen Wenxuan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. When the man looked shocked and was about to shout, Shen Wenxuan casually grabbed his neck and pressed him against the wall so that he could not make a sound. no.

Following the direction that this person was looking at just now, Shen Wenxuan poked his head out from behind the wall, his eyes happened to meet the gaze of a young boy in the distance, and above him, a young man was standing on the top of the wall and painting on the wall.

"Master, Lord! Someone is coming!" The servant anxiously grabbed the hem of Young Master's clothes and told him to come down quickly.

Lin Mu glanced back impatiently, Shen Wenxuan was walking over, picked up a stick at random in his hand, trembled suddenly, his feet were unstable when he got down in a hurry, and he fell from the top to eat shit, the pain was so painful "Ouch "With a sound, the painting utensils were also scattered on the ground.

The boy dragged him by the shoulders and quickly retreated, whistled twice, and someone drove over from the other side of the street with a carriage.

Shen Wenxuan paused, estimated the distance, and before they got into the carriage, he threw the stick in his hand forcefully, and the shot missed the back of his head, and the tip of the stick only hit his back.

Lin Mu screamed, and was pushed and dragged into the carriage, turned around and drove away, and Defu controlled the young man to come over.

Shen Wenxuan walked to the place where they were peeping just now, bent down and picked up the paintings scattered on the ground.

The inside of this location is the back garden, and the painting on it is...Jiao Shihan.
