I engaged in modernization in ancient times

"Report, the blood flag of the Eagle Master, according to the order of the King of Yan, the son of the king, an urgent report from eight hundred miles away!"

The voice resounded from the golden hall.

Baiguan, who had been heartbroken because of the [-]-mile rush, couldn't help being taken aback.

Eagle Master Blood Banner?

Now the eagle masters are only the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. What kind of emergency report can there be, and the blood flag is used?

Besides, aren't Mo Shaoheng and Yan Wang traveling around the mountains?In the past few days, I have been involved a lot, and I will be punished after I come back.

Although everyone was puzzled, the old palace man in the hall did not slack off, and hurried to get the urgent report from Yingwei.

He couldn't help but glanced at Yingwei. He was a veteran, capable and calm. He was indeed a man who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

Quickly delivered the urgent report to the saint.

Everyone looked at the bead curtain in unison, and they were really curious about the urgent news about traveling in the mountains and rivers.

But he was taken aback immediately, because the saint actually stood up from the dragon chair.

The content of the urgent report is probably not simple.

After a while, the saint handed the urgent report to the old palace man next to him, "Read."

The unique singing voice sounded, the old palace people like them, the ability to clearly express their words and transmit their voices to every corner of the Golden Palace is really not something ordinary people can learn.

"Chen Mo Shaoheng and Yan Wang traveled to Beihaiwan Island and accidentally discovered the salt-making process of boiling sea salt. The salt production rate is more than ten times that of existing rock salt."

By the way, I also mentioned, "Prince Li Yuan of the Eastern Tang Dynasty watched from the side, and witnessed the entire process of salt production. I dare not specialize in it, so I asked the sage to show me."

hiss!

The entire Golden Palace gasped.

The content of the urgent report is not much, just a few sentences, and they can get the most important information from it.

Boiling sea for salt?More than ten times the salt yield?

On the contrary, Li Yuan is no longer so important in front of this news.

How to boil sea for salt?

You must know that their Beiliang's territory by the sea is not small, and the sea water is endless.

They are short of salt in northern Liang. First, the salt production rate of rock salt is not high, and it is difficult to deal with it. Second, there are few rock salt mines.

This made it difficult for the people to eat salt, and the price of salt was generally high, but the people had to eat salt. In order to stabilize the price of salt, the imperial court spent a large part of its expenditure every year to buy salt from various countries.

Someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please send someone to take the son and King Yan back to Beijing immediately."

Although the urgent report made things clear, there were still too many details that needed to be clarified.

If it can really solve the problem of people having no salt to eat, this will be a major event that can shake people's livelihood.

Zhao Lan: "..."

This is all right?They are not in Liangjing anymore and can still cause such a big storm.

Not to mention punishing Mo Shaoheng and King Yan when they came back, even if they had ruined the whole of Beiliang, no one would dare to say that they were wrong because of their credit.

Fortunately, he still has an errand to build a canal, otherwise he would have been suppressed.

No matter how sensational Liangjing was, Mo Shaoheng and his party stayed in the small fishing village for a few days, and Mo Shaoheng had to "unintentionally" perfect the correct salt extraction process.

There are many things to pay attention to when cooking salt in seawater, otherwise there are too many minerals in it, and it may be fine to eat a small amount, but there will be problems if you eat too much.

He didn't want to leave such a hidden danger.

After "accidentally" researching the correct salt-making process, the group started back on the road and prepared to return to Liangjing.

There is no need to guard the scene, because the coastal line is too long, and no amount of people can guard it.

On the carriage, Nan Yi was looking at Mo Shaoheng and laughing all the way.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Is this boy stupid?

Nan Yi raised his hands, holding a dried fish in one hand, which they bought in that small fishing village.

"Master, is this salted fish?"

Mo Shaoheng nodded.

Nan Yi smiled even more cheerfully, "But the young master said before that the young master's greatest ideal is to be a salted fish."

"It turns out that salted fish look like this."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

No wonder Nan Yi didn't let go of the two salted fish, and enjoyed himself for several days.

Mo Shaoheng said, "It's just right, when salt is cheap in the future, we will also open a salted fish shop."

Nan Yi: "..."

His mind is full of scenes of hanging a store of salted fish.

But the salted fish is quite delicious, especially the soup, which is very delicious.

Mo Shaoheng was also completely relieved, after resolving the deal with Li Yuan, he was completely freed from those two charges, and he didn't have to worry about other problems involved in the future.

When he returns to Liangjing, he only needs to make money with peace of mind. After all, besides the Zhenbei Palace, he now has a group of small shopkeepers to support.

I don't know how those little shopkeepers are doing.

Don't dare to delay on the way, the court should be waiting for them to go back and explain the situation.

Just halfway there, he met Liang Jingwei who came to meet him.

It can be regarded as the complete end of this "traveling in mountains and rivers".

Nan Yi: "Master, why do you feel like we haven't started playing yet?"

Strange, it wasn't like this when they were playing in the past, obviously they didn't come out for a short time.

Mo Shaoheng smiled, "There are scenery everywhere."

Lifting the curtains and letting Nan Yi see the scenery along the way outside, the trip was not in vain.

Nan Yi: "..."

Well, lying on the window, he had to see enough.

It took several days to arrive at Liangjing, and without any rest, he was taken to the Golden Palace.

Wen Wu of the first dynasty looked at Mo Shaoheng and King Yan without blinking his eyes.

Mo Shaoheng didn't write any ink, and asked someone to bring up the salt they made in the past few days.

Just a small bag.

When the bag was opened, it was quite surprising.

The salt...was too white, the best salt they had ever seen.

Rock salt, no matter how you do it, it will turn yellow. It is already the best, and only the nobles will use it. The salt used by ordinary people has many impurities.

It's amazing to see.

How is this done?Make the salt so white.

In addition to presenting some to the saint, the rest were passed to each adult to have a look.

Nothing is more convincing than seeing is believing.

Almost exactly the same action, twist the salt with your hands and put it in your mouth.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

It seems that this method is an excellent general method for salt testing.

As soon as the salt is touched, it is as delicate as white sand, and as soon as it is swallowed again, the pure salty taste fills the whole mouth instantly.

This is the final product, naturally without the bitter taste.

The eyes could not help but light up.

"Good salt, really good salt."

"Even if the price is higher, the aristocratic family should buy it."

With such good salt, they felt that Mo Shaoheng must have brought out the best quality salt.

Mo Shaoheng said, "Everyone, this is just ordinary table salt made according to craftsmanship."

"That is to say, the price will not be high, because the output will be large, and the people of my Beiliang should also eat this quality of salt in the future."

Everyone: "..."

Can the people in Northern Liang afford this kind of salt?

Mo Shaoheng explained, "I have made it very clear in the emergency report."

"Boiling the sea into salt means boiling the seawater into the salt in your hands, and the seawater is endless."

"We in Beiliang... have no shortage of salt. After producing a large amount of this kind of salt, the price of salt will naturally come down, and the common people will naturally be able to afford this kind of salt."

Everyone: "..."

Because it is too subversive, and one step is too thorough, it is not easy to adapt to this news immediately.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, unless the imperial court wants to use this to profit and control the production of salt, otherwise the people really don't have to worry about salt.

Think about how large the population is in modern times, but a pack of salt costs two yuan.

Salt should not be an obstacle that restricts people's livelihood.

Mo Shaoheng presented the finished salt-making process to the saint without hesitation at all, it would be a disaster to keep it.

As for his credit, he didn't mention a word, and believed that no one could ignore it or ignore it.

It was already evening when he left after he was busy with the affairs of the court.

Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, he didn't go back to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion directly, but went to Wuyi Lane, he had to inspect how his property was doing.

Even in the evening, the Battle of the Three Streets continued.

Looking at the onlookers, they are almost catching up with the crowd.

Not bad.

After such a long time, the Battle of the Three Streets has spread throughout Liangjing, and it has spread to all meritorious residences, streets and alleys.

Wu Xun's mansion basically formed a team of their own, and this team became their facade. The common people now know that someone's team is particularly powerful and brilliant.

What they like most now is to send battle posts to others. This is indeed a great opportunity to make a name for themselves. It is fun and has practical benefits, so naturally they cannot refuse it.

One sentence, "There is no perfect thing in the world, there is no No. 1 in literature, and there is no second in martial arts..."

It is also catchy by everyone.

This is also the reason why Mo Shaoheng could see such a hot situation in front of him.

The number of teams that signed up to participate in the first season of the Battle of the Three Streets also exceeded imagination, and now they have to line up to play a game.

When Mo Shaoheng came to Bird Clothes Lane, he happened to see Douzi holding a bun in both hands, gnawing on it like a little guinea pig, his eyes narrowed into slits comfortably.

Mo Shaoheng walked over.

Seeing that it was Mo Shaoheng, Douzi was overjoyed.

Mo Shaoheng asked, "How does it taste?"

Douzi nodded obediently, "It's steamed just now, and the stuffing is biting along the skin, it's very delicious."

They are doing well now, just like now, it will not be dark tomorrow, but according to Shizi's regulations, they can already stop work and get buns to eat, and in the rest of the time, they can follow others to watch the Battle of the Three Streets.

The people of Liangjing like to watch the Battle of the Three Streets the most, and they like it too. Seeing others cheering makes them very happy.

They regard every day now as their happiest day.

Douzi said, "They all said that I look better than before, and they were worried that I would be abducted."

I used to be hungry every day, but now I eat steamed stuffed buns every day, and they are all cleaned up. I am indeed more like a gentle and well-behaved child from an ordinary family.

Mo Shaoheng saw that there were many more small shopkeepers on the street. These small shopkeepers were easy to recognize because the word "goods" was embroidered on their clothes.

This word can let other people know that these children are working for the Zhenbei Palace.

Children like this without father and mother are easy to be bullied. They suddenly have food, and I am afraid that even the older beggars will have some thoughts.

Although the human heart is beautiful, there are also sinister people.

But with this word, it means that behind them is the Zhenbei Palace, not to mention beggars, other people who want to bully them have to consider whether they will get into trouble.

It's a kind of protection for them.

Mo Shaoheng also went to the warehouse where Dou Zi lived to have a look.

The warehouse has already installed high and low beds.

It was so clean that even Mo Shaoheng was a little surprised.

In fact, no one can imagine how much these small children cherish this place.

A home was once out of their reach, but now they have it.

Even if there is a little dust in the room, they will frown and wipe it clean.

That cherishment makes people feel distressed. It should be the most common thing that everyone should have.

Douzi pointed to the bed, "This is mine, I can roll on the bed every day."

At night, he would always wake up with a start, and after realizing that all this was true, he would sleep soundly while hugging the bed with a smile on his face.

This high and low bed is so beautiful that even outsiders will praise it. Every time he hears someone praise their bed for its beauty, he feels like eating honey in his heart, because he used to dislike and scold them, and no one has ever done it like this Praise them like this.

"I still have a new set of clothes in the closet."

Mo Shaoheng smiled, and suddenly remembered something, such a young child might not even know how to wash clothes, so he asked, "Who washed your clothes for you?"

He saw that the clothes on Douzi were extremely clean.

Douzi pointed to the upper bunk of his bed, "Brother Zhaodi, who used to beg with me, said that if we don't like cleanliness, others won't buy our things."

"If others don't buy our things, the prince will not be able to support us, and we will have to beg for food again."

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, he was quite sensible.

After thinking about it, I asked someone to find this little peddler named Zhaodi.

It didn't take long for someone to find him.

I heard that when I found it, I was grinding flour for Baozipu.

Zhaodi's surname is Luo, and his age is actually only eight or nine years old. He used to have a younger brother, but he was snatched away abruptly, and he must have sold it somewhere.

He also sometimes thinks, maybe it's better to be sold, maybe it's better to be sold to a good family than to beg with him all the time.

But I always miss it in my heart.

And just in time to meet Douzi who was stuffed into the city and cried in a mess.

He knew that children like Douzi who were thrown away by their parents to be beggars would probably not survive.

In the end, he couldn't hold back and took Douzi with him. Douzi looked about the same size as his younger brother.

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, he is a person who can empathize with these little beggars.

He asked Luo Zhaodi a few more words.

Although the child was a little timid, he spoke clearly and could answer questions in an orderly manner.

Mo Shaoheng nodded, "From now on, you will be in charge of the key to the warehouse. If you have anything to do, feel free to go to Yingwei. If Yingwei can't handle it, you will naturally notify me."

The warehouse is not the only one, and it really needs someone to watch it.

Small shopkeepers also need a leader, so that they can communicate with each other when something happens.

Mo Shaoheng gave Luo Zhaodi a nod on the forehead, "From now on, we will treat all the little shopkeepers as your younger brothers, like beans."

Luo Zhaodi was dumbfounded, the light touch on his forehead seemed to make him feel the most gentle thing in the world.

He is not such an immature age as Douzi, and even because of begging all the year round, he has seen all kinds of people and all kinds of dirty things, and he knows more than ordinary people.

So he knew what kind of kindness what the son did meant to them. Although their parents gave birth to them, the son gave them the opportunity to live like a person.

Touching his forehead in a daze, he took the key.

After Mo Shaoheng left, he went to the shop.

He asked the shopkeeper, "How many small shopkeepers have we accepted now?"

The shopkeeper replied, "It's almost two hundred."

This is the result after screening the age strictly according to the requirements of the son.

If there is no limit, I am afraid there will be more.

All their current warehouses are used to accommodate these small shopkeepers.

The shopkeeper directly took out the ledger.

Mo Shaoheng flipped through the pages: "..."

It costs a lot of food for two hundred small shopkeepers a day, plus the purchased wood to make beds, stools, and clothes for each person.

There is also the cost of maintaining the shop, which is not a small sum.

That's right, there are not many rich families in Beijing who directly support 200 people, not to mention that the economic situation of the Zhenbei Palace was not optimistic several years ago.

Too loser.

Mo Shaoheng asked, "Is there still no income at all?"

The shopkeeper replied, "A little bit, but it can be ignored."

Mo Shaoheng was surprised, is there a business?

The shopkeeper replied, "Zhao Jingcheng, the young son of Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, sometimes brings more than a dozen young masters to buy some."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

It really can be ignored. What he sells now is for mass consumption, and he needs to sell a lot to make money.

Nan Yi was also looking at the account book: "Young master, we won't be able to eat meat in the future, right?"

Mo Shaoheng smiled, feeling poorly worried.

But he really had to find a way to change it. Originally, the mansion was relatively poor, and his tossing would probably make things worse.

Moreover, two hundred small shopkeepers, only three streets, can't be used at all.

After checking the accounts, Mo Shaoheng led Nan Yi out.

As a result, as soon as he went out, there were fifteen teenagers with their waists stretched outside, staring at him.

From the looks of it, this is specially waiting here.

Zhao Jingcheng's 15 people really waited for it specially. They got the news of Mo Shaoheng's return today. Mo Shaoheng was reporting on his duties in the Golden Palace. They had no choice, so they came here and waited.

Do you know how hard it is for Mo Shaoheng to come and take them to skip class day by day?

That's what it means to be hopeless.

As a result, after waiting for more than half a month, I didn't expect anyone to come.

I heard that you went out to visit the mountains and rivers with King Yan?

They almost cried, take them too.

Zhao Jingcheng poked his waist, "It's such a hot day, is it fun outside?"

Mo Shaoheng almost laughed, why did he feel a whiff of resentment?

Said, "Want to eat something delicious? I happened to bring some salted fish back." Nan Yi laughed when he heard the word salted fish. He didn't know why, but he wanted to laugh just by the word.

Zhao Jingcheng: "Salty...what is salted fish?"

No, he came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

"Where is there a dignified four-door teaching assistant playing outside all day, regardless of the students, you haven't come to the Imperial College for more than half a month."

It doesn't make sense.

"I'm not afraid that the sacrificial wine will trouble you."

Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, strictly speaking, these sixteen teenagers were not actually his students, he was only a teaching assistant for four subjects, not a doctor of literature who taught them.

He didn't correct it, but said, "You really don't want to eat it? I brought it back from a far away place. I guarantee that you haven't eaten it before."

Zhao Jingcheng licked his lips, "You can also eat a little bit."

The group of teenagers in the back were stunned, what happened to that little fat guy Zhao Jingcheng?It was agreed to come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but how could he be bought by the food so quickly.

What kind of salted fish, they are not rare.

After a while, in the shop, fifteen teenagers sat upright, waiting to be fed.

Nan looked at it and covered his face, his integrity almost fell to the ground.

Mo Shaoheng was making food for them himself, because what he made was a new kind of food, which no one else knew how to cook.

The salted fish he brought back was not much, so he had to supplement it with other things.

Mo Shaoheng thought for a while, since he had ready-made flour, he made a Xi'an delicacy "biangbiang noodles".

At that time, pour the boiled salted fish soup on the surface, tsk tsk, it tastes good too.

"What are biangbiang noodles?" Zhao Jingcheng asked there.

Mo Shaoheng was meeting with each other, and there was a bang sound on the panel as an answer.

Beiliang's pasta is cooking cakes. The dough is rolled into pieces with a rolling pin like this, and then cut into strips with a knife. This is also the first time for them to eat them.

Wait for a pot of boiling water to pour the noodles, then pour the boiled salted fish cubes and salted fish soup into bowls of noodles.

It looks pretty good.

Pick up a wide and flat noodle with chopsticks, put it in your mouth and chew it, the taste of fish soup is mixed with the noodle, the noodle is strong and strong, which is surprisingly suitable for the taste.

A group of teenagers had no appetite because of the hot weather, but they also ate with relish.

While eating, he said, "If we don't come to take us to skip class tomorrow, we will escape from the Imperial College by ourselves."

"If the master of the Imperial College asks us a question, I will answer, biangbiang noodles are so delicious, let's go out to eat biangbiang noodles."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Heh, I still want to make trouble for him blatantly.

However, a bowl of noodles was not enough for them to eat.

Now that the salted fish is gone, I thought about it and wrote a list for people to buy some seasonings.

They have ordinary seasonings here, but a few of them are still being used as herbal medicines, and you need to go to the pharmacy to buy them, such as dogwood that can be used as chili.

After finishing the seasoning, he cooked half a bowl of noodles for each of these teenagers again.

Drizzle with sauce.

It tastes good too.

Mo Shaoheng thought, Wuyi Lane already has an ice cream shop and a steamed stuffed bun shop, and a noodle shop just happened to be added.

They are all unique and affordable food for the general public. Logically, the business should be very hot.

Sighing, get up first, be prepared.

When those people are willing to walk into his Bird Clothes Lane, the changes in Bird Clothes Lane will definitely surprise people.

After eating the noodles, it was not too early.

"I must come to the Imperial College to teach tomorrow."

"They are all husbands, how can they fish for three days and hang nets for two days."

Mo Shaoheng almost laughed out loud.

You group of students who don't like studying are like this, does your family know?People who don't know think that you love learning so much.

Mo Shaoheng nodded. The official positions of his teaching assistants in the four departments were personally ordered by the sage. He had to go out because he had to settle the transaction with Dongtang. Now he can't be neglected.

Nan Yi shook his head, "Young master's students in Nanli have never seen such clingy people."

As a result, as soon as he said this, he was beaten back, "Of course you are not clingy, you are by my side every day."

"I take you everywhere, as if you are a student, aren't we the same?"

Nan Yi: "..."

He directly pulled the strings in his hand.

Looks good, he can pull out the simplest tune now.

A group of teenagers.

For a while, he looked at Mo Shaoheng who was standing holding the qin, and for a while he looked at Nan Yi who was also holding the qin and following behind Mo Shaoheng.

Look at them again.

It seems that others are indeed more like students.

"No... No, there is also a piano." His mouth was stiff.

Nan Yi: "My Guqin is named Han Che, it's not an ordinary Qin. In the former Northern Liang Dynasty, there was a scholar from a poor family. With his own efforts, he became the Prime Minister at the age of eighty, and became famous all over the world. Later, his friend I gave him a piano, and he named it Han Che to commemorate his hard study and hard work in the past, "

"To encourage the latter, it takes a bit of coldness to last a lifetime."

A group of teenagers: "..."

No... no there is a story.

After all, they are also the top aristocrats. It’s like their family doesn’t have a qin. Well, they really don’t have any, unless they are luthiers, they really don’t have a hobby of collecting guqin.

Mo Shaoheng originally thought that these teenagers would have to pester them, but he looked at Nan Yi one by one for a while, then turned around and ran away.

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Mo Shaoheng brought people back to the Zhenbei Palace, and the father-in-law who delivered the order from the palace also happened to arrive.

"The sage Haode blesses the world with blessings. Today, the prince of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion occasionally passes through Beihai..."

This was his discovery of a new salt-making method, and he was not surprised that the court reward came down, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, even on the same day, which shows that the saint attaches great importance to this matter.

"Today, I will be promoted to Doctor of Literature in Guozijian, and teach Wan Fang..."

"Course, the post of Adviser Lang in the palace."

Mo Shaoheng listened carefully, he was promoted from a teaching assistant of four subjects to a Doctor of Letters. In fact, he only worked as a teaching assistant of four subjects for one day, and his promotion was quite fast.

This is actually an official position of teaching and educating people, and it has little influence on the Northern Liang court.

The key is in the back, the fourth rank's palace is Jian Yilang, and the fourth rank's official rank is not too low. .

There are actually many Jian Yilangs, but not many of them can go to the Golden Palace.

In other words, he will have the opportunity to speak out in the court in the future.

It seems simple, but it can play a key role at critical times.

For example, even though he is the eldest son of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, he wants to face the saint, huh, it's not that simple.

Beiliang has four major palaces with military power: Zhenbei, Zhennan, Zhendong, and Zhenxi. Of course, the current military power of the Zhenbei Palace is negligible, plus the residences of various royal princes, the number of princes in each palace It's almost impossible to count, even the son of the world, he didn't say that if he wanted to see a saint, he could see it.

Just like when he was raised in the palace before, he hung out with the princes all day, and didn't see the face of the saint.

Jianyi Langlu belongs to the Jianyi Yuan, and his immediate boss happens to be Fan Kou, Mo Shaoheng's teacher.

It's just that after he dug a hole for his teacher last time, Fan Kou must give him some special treatment.

It has always been a very subtle thing for a nobleman to serve as a counselor. It is like announcing to everyone that from now on, you are already under the eyes of a saint, and you will either rise to the top or disappear from the public.

Being able to get the attention of a sage, no one in Beiliang, from the poor to the nobles, would not be envious.

The old palace who delivered the decree said, "The son is truly blessed."

Who would have thought that going out to visit mountains and rivers would shake Beiliang.

The old palace man had served His Majesty for a long time, so he couldn't help joking, "I have never been so frequent to the same mansion to deliver the decree for His Majesty."

Mo Shaoheng also laughed, how could he know the good and the bad.

Since I haven't been back for such a long time, I will naturally go to see my grandmother and Mrs. Yong'an.

This time, I saw a not-so-unexpected accident.

The grandmother was supported and was able to walk on her own.

When Mo Shaoheng left, he changed his grandmother to a healing prescription, so it wasn't troublesome to suffer.

Now it seems that it is beginning to bear fruit.

Mrs. Yong'an was also so happy that her face was full of smiles, "Look at the people in Liangjing, will they dare to make irresponsible remarks in the future?"

Grandma reprimanded, "Don't let outsiders listen to it, or they will think that our Zhenbei Palace is self-respecting."

It was like this in ancient times, no matter how great the credit is, you have to accept the grace of heaven with humility and gratitude, and you don't have the right to make irresponsible remarks.

But I was also thinking in my heart, if the people in Liangjing had eaten cheap and good salt, and still slandered people behind their backs, I'm afraid they would be ashamed to the extreme.

Salt has a greater impact than Mo Shaoheng's gift of silk or cotton. After all, silk and cotton can't see the effect for the time being, but salt has an immediate effect. It affects the people's livelihood of all the people, which is closest to life.

Boil the sea and boil the waves, once it starts, the salt can be produced in large quantities very quickly.

……

Day two.

The news about Mo Shaoheng's accidental discovery of a new salt craft has already started to spread.

However, I don't know the specific content, and it didn't cause much trouble for a while.

Mo Shaoheng is going to court today.

Jian Yilang, who is not too big or small like him, only needs to go to the big court meeting once a week, and the small court meeting will have nothing to do with him.

Putting on Jian Yilang's official uniform, he still looks decent.

A standard handsome Beiliang official.

Nan Yi muttered to the side, "Young master looks good in any clothes. I used to think that silk is good, but I didn't expect that young master would look good in such clothes."

Mo Shaoheng smiled.

It is true that the fabric is good or bad, but whether it looks good or not is another matter.

He said, "I'm going to court today, are you going to practice the piano at home or go to Wuyi Lane to watch the game?"

Nan Yi: "I took the piano to Wuyi Lane, and practiced the piano while watching the competition."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, and ordered to bring more eagle guards when he went out.

Nan Yi has a special status, and he has to be guarded by a large number of people wherever he goes.

Mo Shaoheng went to court today, and Mo Shaoheng was a little early, which is considered a courtesy for a newly promoted official.

He's humble, really.

Standing outside the hall in an official robe, holding a piano.

The officials who came one after another couldn't help but take a second look.

It is really a unique scenery.

Mo Shaoheng originally wanted to say hello, but when he looked around, he didn't know anyone except Zhao Di, the King of Yan, his teacher Fan Kou, and a few people who had troubled him in the hall several times before.

This official deserves it. I don't know many of my colleagues in the same dynasty, and my interpersonal relationship is too bad.

It's not good to step forward abruptly, so I simply ran to Fan Kou to greet him.

Fan Kou couldn't say anything, he just nodded and asked, "I heard you took my grandson Fan Shen to skip class?"

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

One needle sees blood.

Mo Shaoheng hurriedly said a few words in a high-sounding manner and fled.

Then ran to find King Yan.

Zhao Di is good, although he doesn't talk much, he doesn't hate people.

Mo Shaoheng asked secretly, "The sage promoted me to an official position, do you have any rewards?"

Although Mo Shaoheng discovered the new salt-making process, Zhao Di also contributed a lot.

Zhao Di replied, "Salt seller."

Mo Shaoheng's eyes lit up, and he was in charge of selling official salt for the court?

That's good, Mo Shaoheng immediately said, "Arrange an official salt shop in Wuyi Lane."

Zhao Di looked at Mo Shaoheng, is this blatantly asking him to benefit from public affairs?

Mo Shaoheng didn't blush and was not out of breath, "Apart from the east market and the west market, my place has the most traffic now."

The salt that everyone needs, of course, is set in a crowded place.

Official salt shops are limited, and other people are not allowed to sell salt privately, so a salt shop is in charge of a large area, so that no one will worry about entering his bird clothing lane, unless they have to go to a very far salt shop to buy .

Mo Shaoheng thought he had to grind it out, but he didn't expect Zhao Di to say "En" directly.

Mo Shaoheng was taken aback for a moment, Zhao Di was quite easy to talk to.

At this time, the father-in-law of the pass has come to announce that the officials have entered the palace.

Today's court discussion is nothing more than water conservancy, salt, Xunzhou, and some other issues.

The construction of the canal had already started during the half month since Mo Shaoheng left.

The so-called start does not mean that the repair has already started, but that the recruitment has started.

Today is the court meeting, and Zhao Lan, who is in charge of the construction of the canal, needs to report on his duties.

Zhao Lan stepped forward, "Sage, the Ministry of Industry is already drawing up the construction regulations and calculating the cost, the Ministry of Rites has prepared the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and the Ministry of Households... the recruitment of the Ministry of Households is also in progress..."

For such a big matter, he naturally didn't dare to neglect, worked hard, and didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.

But when it comes to the Ministry of household recruitment, he hesitated.

Hubu Shangshu glanced at Zhao Lan and frowned.

There is work-for-relief, and there is a tax-free system, and indeed some of them have been recruited.

But it wasn't enough, and as far as he knew, the problem was not small.

I don't know when, it started to go viral among the refugees, and it was Mo Shaoheng who proposed the construction of water conservancy.

Don't look at such a small piece of news, but it blew up among the refugees.

Mo Shaoheng is going to build water conservancy, and he wants to be famous through the ages, and he still uses them Xunzhou refugees to achieve his reputation.

Why?

After causing them to be ruined and homeless, step on them to win this eternal reputation?

There is no such thing.

Coupled with the scene of Mo Shaoheng traveling around in front of them, it still makes them feel uneasy.

So except for a small number of people recruited, most of the others are resistant.

Even because of the urgency in Zhao Lan's heart, she was somewhat impatient when recruiting workers, which caused a lot of... resistance and conflicts.

These are not all small problems.

The Secretary of the Household Department also understood that Zhao Lan said that everything was normal in recruiting, and that he wanted to solve the problem slowly.

But has he ever thought that if the solution cannot be resolved, even if the resistance of the refugees becomes more intense, it will cause civil unrest...

The Ministry of Household Affairs cannot bear this responsibility for such consequences.

The crown prince... shouldn't just report on his duties as if nothing happened without discussing with him.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Di stepped forward.

"Sage, recently outside Liangjing, there have been refugees who are dissatisfied with the job recruitment, and many people gathered to make trouble."

It's very concise, but it's the opposite of Zhao Lan's recruitment.

The entire Golden Palace was silent.

Prince Zhao Lan said that the recruitment is normal, but King Yan said that some refugees were dissatisfied with the recruitment and gathered a crowd to make trouble?

Hubu Shangshu was surprised. Although he knew that many refugees were dissatisfied, but gathering crowds to make trouble?

Zhao Lan snorted directly, "King Yan just returned to Liangjing, I'm afraid he doesn't know the specific situation clearly."

"Since ancient times, when building water conservancy projects, the common people have always had the idea of ​​laboring people and wasting money, and forced the construction. It is only natural to encounter some resistance and difficulties."

In Zhao Lan's view, the imperial court has given many benefits to the refugees in Xunzhou. They resisted for a while, but if the canal is not built, they will not be able to get relief food. They will definitely compromise at that time. He only needs a little time to settle it this matter.

Mo Shaoheng watched with gusto. He originally thought that he would just come and do something today, but he didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene.

Zhao Di said, "Just a little resistance?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't even speak.

Mo Shaoheng was a little baffled, if he made trouble, he would beat the opponent to death, if he hit a snake seven inches, if he didn't die, he would make the opponent crippled.

Everyone also thought that this was a "daily" contest between King Yan and the crown prince. If there were any serious problems, the crown prince would dare to conceal it and report it.

This is a major event that will affect the future of Beiliang.
