Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Returning to the main courtyard with her mother's love ginseng soup, Jiang Shu's mind still echoed the meaningful eyes that Liu Shi had left before she left.

She seems to have misunderstood something...

Although it was true that he left Xie Min to live in the mansion this time, the two did it intentionally, but like this, Jiang Shu never expected that the relationship would be suspected by his mother after just seeing each other.

In Liu's mind, how deep-rooted is his son's impression of masculinity!

When stepping on the steps of the corridor, Jiang Shu suddenly stamped his feet, turned his head and said, "Brother Xie, it's too late, why don't you go back to rest today?"

Xie Yin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you say you have business to talk to me about?"

"Oh, that's right." Jiang Shu almost forgot, and made up this excuse in front of Liu Shi, then smiled and said: "Then let's talk about it, I just have something I want to ask, thank you Brother."

"it is good."

The cold wind is particularly harsh at dusk, and there is still a little snow on the branches of the garden trees, like large magnolias blooming on the branches.

On the table by the window, Zhitao arranged the chessboard, and made hot tea at the side, and after a while, the fragrance of refreshing tea filled the room.

Xie Yin held the black chess piece in his hand and dropped a piece on the chessboard. He said calmly, "Just now I said I have something to ask for advice. Why?"

"It's not a big problem," Jiang Shu put one hand in the muff, and rubbed the chess piece gently with the other, "It's just that after the Yin family's incident, I feel that I don't know enough about many high schools, especially those who have the right to speak in the court. I don’t know much about those people, what kind of temperament they are, what preferences they have, so I want to ask Brother Xie to explain to me.”

He has been thinking about this for a long time.

Although as an author, he knows everything about this world very well, but in the final analysis, what the author knows is only the lives of the characters in his works, and sometimes he may not even know the characters in his works.

For example, Zuo Servant of Shangshu shot Yin Shen, he knew that he was the Qingliu of the court, he knew that he would prevent the Southwest King from taking power, and he also knew that he would die in martyrdom when the city of Hengchuan was broken.

He even knew how this person died, but he didn't know how many daughters he had, and he didn't know that he loved his daughter very much. Because he didn't know, he couldn't see through this incident that he married his daughter to Xunzhou. real purpose.

After this incident, Jiang Shu realized that his knowledge was still too narrow, and he knew very little about the group of noble families who held real power.

Although he has Xie Yin by his side, the other party will always give him appropriate guidance when he is confused, but he cannot always rely on Xie Yin, and the other party cannot always be with him.

Since this is a problem that can be solved by learning, it is naturally best to keep it in your mind.

The lord wants to know the details of family power and court factions, so it is of course duty-bound to be a counselor.

Xie Yin responded bluntly: "Okay, where do you want to start to understand?"

Jiang Shu looked up at him, and after thinking for a moment, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Since brother Xie is right in front of my eyes, I think, why not start from Xie's house?"

Xie Yin sat upright, looking at the young man in front of him silently.

Zhitao brought hot tea and put it on the table, and the quiet fragrance of tea permeated between the two of them.

"Can't you say it?" Quiet for a while, Jiang Shu blinked and asked.

"The lord is testing me?" Xie Min said lightly.

"Where, it's just a joke, how could I let brother Xie do something disrespectful to his elders."

Jiang Shu smiled calmly, then looked away, made a move on the chessboard, and changed the subject in a natural tone: "Isn't there a saying that there are four major surnames in Nandi? Xie Zhuwen, Gao Zhuwu, Xun Zhongliang, Zhou Guanghou, Since Xie can't talk about it, let's start with the Dongjun Gao family."

"There is one thing I can say." Xie Min said quickly.

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

"Xie's ancestral precepts." Xie Min replied calmly: "'Be willing to be poor, be willing to be lonely, cultivate your body and mind, and restrain yourself and guard your position'. These are the last words left by great-grandfather before his death. Great-great-grandfather was very convinced of this And make it a family lesson."

"Will you be poor?"

"Well, my family hadn't really made a fortune at that time. Although my great-grandfather was well-informed and full of economics, due to the turmoil in the court and frequent coups, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, he was willing to be poor, and he was obsessed with Confucianism all his life. A generation of Confucianism."

Jiang Shu nodded thoughtfully. The history of the Xie family, when he listed the family tree, he only wrote about the generation of Grandpa Xie Min, and he didn’t even know about the great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather. This time he added some knowledge. .

"Then your family all act according to this ancestral precept?"

Xie Yin shook his head: "There will be exceptions, not everyone can restrain their selfish desires."

"That's right, it should be difficult for a person in a high position to keep one's duty!" Jiang Shu sighed with emotion, and withdrew his thoughts and said, "Let's talk about Mrs. Gao."

·

"Hiss—" Liu Shi took a breath, frowned, and put the index finger that was bleeding from the needle into his mouth.

Jiang Ke was lying on the rocking chair and reading the newspaper. When he heard the movement, he turned his head and glanced at her, and then persuaded: "It's getting dark, let's do it tomorrow."

"No, Shu'er has already put on that one, so the obvious one has to be done as soon as possible and sent to him."

Mrs. Liu finished speaking, and when her fingers stopped bleeding, she sewed her clothes again with a needle, and said in a chatty manner: "Just now, when I was delivering ginseng soup to Shu'er, he came in with Xie Jiaqilang, It is said that there is an important matter to discuss, so let him live in the mansion."

When the words fell, she didn't hear Jiang Ke's voice, and she asked with hints: "You said that it's not that Xie Jiaqilang doesn't have a place to live in the city. At worst, it costs a lot of time to travel by car. Isn't it too much to live in someone else's mansion?" Is there any inconvenience?"

"It's very cold, so I'm being considerate of my subordinates." Jiang Ke stepped on the pier lightly, and the rocking chair slowly rocked back and forth, and the regular creaking sound made people drowsy.

This rocking chair was custom-made by Jiang Shu specially by a carpenter. Originally, he wanted to use it in the house by himself, but now that his parents are here, he must honor his parents first.

The two old people had never seen anything like this before, and they were not used to sitting at first, but after trying it a few times, they could feel the comfort of it.

Especially on such a gloomy and snowy day, when you have nothing to do, you can lie on this cushioned rocking chair, take a copy of "Miryang Monthly News", and then cover your chest with a thin quilt, and the charcoal fire at your feet will burn you. It was warm and comfortable for Morti.

Surprised by his calm and contented attitude at this time, Liu asked, "Then why didn't you see you being so considerate and considerate in the past?"

"If there is a son of the Taifu to be my deputy, I will naturally take care of it." Jiang Ke closed the newspaper, closed his eyes and said slowly: "Besides, if he can make friends with the Xie family, it will be fine if the Yin family does not get married. That's all."

Liu twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly, and cursed "Old Wood" in her heart.

There are many affairs at the end of the year, surrounded by busy official duties, and it is New Year's Eve before you know it.

In the early morning of this day, after arriving at the government office, the first thing Jiang Shu did was to order the guards to send gifts to every official in the government office.

Last year's annual gifts to officials were all food and daily necessities, and this year is basically the same, except that cashmere scarves and socks newly produced by textile factories, tomato sauce, chili sauce from farmers' chambers of commerce, and Qiyan were added to the list. Court's new ice cream.

After sending out these gifts, Jiang Shu was worried that the situation at the end of last year would happen again. A group of officials came to thank him one by one, and in the end they couldn't finish the official business, so he repeatedly told the guards to tell them that they don't have to come to thank them, let alone return the gift. If you are grateful , Just finish the work on the last day of this year with your heart.

After hearing his special instructions, the officials thought that the Shangguan was caring for them, and couldn't bear to let them walk around in such a cold day. , not only took them to promotions, but also gave them gifts during the holidays.

Regardless of the fact that the gifts are all local daily necessities, the value of the big and small is not low.

Especially the new additions this year, cashmere scarves and cashmere socks are expensive items that are difficult to buy in the market, and the cream is even more expensive, costing thousands of dollars for a small box.

I heard that this product is very miraculous. It melts into the skin like snowflakes when it is applied on the face. It can protect the skin from dryness and roughness in this cold winter, and it still has a pleasant fragrance. Therefore, although the price is expensive, merchants from all over the world are still scrambling for it. order.

If it wasn't for the gift from the envoy, the lower-level officials in the mansion might not be able to buy these good things even if they have money.

Liu Shan was the first one who was so moved to rush to the main hall to thank him last year. He was not allowed to thank him today, so he could only look at the list of rituals with tears in his eyes, and became more and more determined to cultivate more available talents for Shijun. Then I started to work out the test questions for the monthly exam in January.

Having said that, although Jiang Shuming ordered officials to forbid officials to return gifts, shortly after the annual gifts were distributed, a return gift came to his desk.

"My lord, where is the best place to put the plum blossom?" Ziming asked.

Jiang Shu looked at the red plum potted plant in front of her. The red plum hadn’t opened yet. The clear branches were covered with small red flower buds, and there were strings of small golden beads hanging on them. When touched lightly, the beads swayed and shone brightly. , very exquisite and lovely.

This is exactly the New Year gift from Xie Yin.

The gift he gave Xie Min this year was still different from what he gave to others, it was a set of rocking chair and tea table made of sandalwood.

The rocking chair that he customized for himself before was given to the second elder, and Jiang Shu ordered Mufang to build two sets, one of which was given to Xie Yin just now.

Later, Xie Yin sent someone to send this red plum potted plant with golden beads as a gift in return.

"Let's put it in the corner of the case." Jiang Shu moved the golden bead and said, "This color looks quite auspicious."

"No." Ziming responded, moved the document file next to the desk to the other side, and moved the red plum potted plant over there.

When the matter of the ceremony was settled, Jiang Shu opened the official document, saw the date on it, and was about to sigh with emotion that the time had passed too quickly, when a notification came from outside the door: "Mr.

He quickly raised his head and said, "Please come in."

When I was young, the door of the palace opened, and two men wrapped in thick fur came in from the door, covered with wet snow and cold air.

The arrival of Zhang Zifang and Zhu Ming was precisely for the coal mine in Laitu County that Bu Jingyun had mentioned a few days ago.

"When he comes back this time, he plans to rest in Miryang for a few days first, and go to the technical school to collect some good seedlings. After a few days, when the snow stops, he will lead a team to Laitu County to investigate the details of the coal mine." Zhang Zifang explained on his behalf. Zhu Ming's arrangement.

Jiang Shu asked: "Mr. Zhu took someone there himself?"

"Correct."

"The Xunyang side..."

"The factory is being built, and there are blueprints. Those little dolls can solve it." Zhu Ming replied quickly.

Jiang Shu knew that the other party had also taught many apprentices during this period, including players and aborigines, so she nodded after hearing this: "Okay, then there will be Mr. Lao Zhu."

Zhu Ming responded, and then took the initiative to ask: "Do you know Sha Wujing?"

"Sha Wujing?" Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, thinking that since Zhu Ming is a member of the country, he must also know that he is not an ordinary NPC, so he said truthfully: "If you are referring to a player, then I know this person. "

"There are copper mines where he is."

Zhu Ming threw out a big news suddenly, which surprised Zhang Zifang: "Copper mine? You didn't tell me this in advance!"

"I don't know where he is, I only know that he is on a sea island." Zhu Ming explained, then looked up at Jiang Shu, "He may know."

Indeed, Jiang Shu really knew.

"The island where Sha Wujing is located is not far from us, but it is really difficult to get there, after all, it is on the sea." Jiang Shu said helplessly.

"I can build ships." Zhu Ming said.

"It's not about shipping, but about the port." Jiang Shudao, "The nearest port to Sha Wujing Island is in Qingzhou, which is not our territory. This matter involves copper mining, so it's not easy to take risks."

Zhu Ming nodded in understanding, turned around and looked at Zhang Zifang before leaving, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Hurry up and build cannons to bring down Qingzhou."

Zhang Zifang: "..."
