Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 121
In the late spring and March, the sky and the earth have warmed up, and the fields are already full of greenery.

At the division of the clan at the beginning of the year, a group of clan members moved out of the old house one after another, and the tearing atmosphere brewing in the old house disappeared.Shen Zhezi no longer has to deliberately avoid living in Longxi Manor, and occasionally go back to the old house for a few days, and his speech and actions are much more casual.

Because their own fields have been cut by more than half, this year's spring plowing will be much more leisurely.The repair of waterway warehouses in various places has gradually come to an end, and these arrangements are only waiting to be tested during the peak transportation period after the water potential gradually rises.In the past few days, Shen Zhezi is gathering a group of shady households and sending them to Kuaiji one by one, preparing to invest in the land reclamation work there.

With fewer constraints and disputes, the people in charge of the Shen family do not have the ethos of superficiality. After planning many things and regulations, each of them performs his duties step by step, and no longer has to do everything himself. Shen Zhezi is much more relaxed.

In the third month of Shangsi, the famous people in the county gathered at the bank of Taihu Lake in Wucheng. Shen Zhezi held a wine glass at the banquet and sang. But the day was approaching, and for a while, everyone in the county looked sideways, praising Wu Xing's water conservancy as the best of the three Wu, like fighting ghosts and gods.

An elegant event was turned into a bidding fair by Shen Zhezi. In addition to the few families that had already confirmed cooperation in the past, there were more than a dozen other families, large and small, who expressed their intention to cooperate with the Shen family.

Once these people realized the astonishing profits hidden in water transportation, they suddenly discovered that wherever boats sailed in the county, there were Shen's wharf warehouses, so they finally realized the true intention of the Shen family's grand planning since the New Year!

Right now, the general trend is my own. After some family integration, the personnel framework has become increasingly stable and mature, and there is no need to negotiate everything by myself.He separated a group of clansmen and deacons in the trilogy, and went by boat to discuss with various families in the county who wanted to unite, and then returned to Longxi himself.

In this day and age, no matter how profitable water transportation is, it cannot surpass Nongsang.Shen Zhezi would rather cede a part of the profits to each family in exchange for human resources, rather than putting the cart before the horse and investing too much in water transportation and ruining his own farmland.He has a deep memory of the food disaster the year before last, and he never wants to put his food and clothing in the hands of others.

Not long after the local spring plowing in Wukang started, some of the shady households scattered in various places were transferred back, and along with Shen Zhezi's second uncle, Shen Ke, went south to Kuaiji to reclaim wasteland.

Shen Zhezi originally planned to go to Kuaiji with his entourage, but remembering what his father said about the many refugees rescued from Yan's Reed Pond, he wanted to invite Ge Hong to see if he could be diagnosed and treated.Although this little fairy teacher is obsessed with the theory of gods, he is not ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and he is the only famous national doctor Shen Zhezi is familiar with.

Although Shen Zhezi did not have the heart of a bodhisattva to grieve for those refugees, he felt a little relieved in his heart to help them relieve their suffering from one or two injuries within his ability.If you turn a blind eye to the disaster in front of you, how can you talk about restoring China to the north and liberating the people?

Since Ge Hong came to Wukang with Ji You as a guest last year, he has been very interested in tofu skills, and he has stayed there until now.Because he couldn't bear the frequent visits and harassment from the followers of Shen's family, he lived in Wukang Mountain.

When leaving home early in the morning, Mrs. Wei heard that Shen Zhezi was going to visit the Little Immortal Master, so she was busy running back and forth, and prepared a whole three cartloads of gifts for Shen Zhezi to take.Ever since Ge Hong accepted Shen Jin, the youngest son of the Shen family, as his disciple a few years ago, the Wei family has been fascinated by this little fairy teacher, and even built a grand road temple in Wukang Mountain behind Shen Zhezi's ears and ears Immortal masters live in subterranean cultivation.

Seeing that his mother planned to let him bring his toddler brother into the mountains to visit his nominal master, Shen Zhezi fled in a hurry. There was no reason to talk to these fanatical religious people, so he could only keep a respectful distance.

In the past two years in Wukang Mountain, there have been a lot of supernatural and mysterious events. In the late spring and March, when the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, and the warblers are flying around, many children of officials and eunuchs from aristocratic families come here to go outing, drink and play with prostitutes.

On the bank of the stream on the sloping ground, you can see many gauze curtains standing on the grass. Servants from various families lit mugwort outside the gauze to drive away insects and flies. .

The ox cart was driving on a flat dirt road, and when he heard the elegant music brought by the spring breeze, Shen Zhezi could hardly understand the interest. His mind diverged, first thinking about the details of water transport cooperation with various companies, and then thinking about the old Dad's work report in Beijing this time.

He is an extremely pragmatic character, even if he has arty behavior, there must be hidden intentions that are not humane.A person like him who spends his days running around all day can't understand the fun of those spring outings.Not only that, even the charming little maid beside him became a philistine under his influence.

The little maid, Guaer, often follows Shen Zhezi around, and her speech and behavior are no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning. Although she still looks resigned, after the Yaoqin in her hand is replaced by an abacus, she has a more or less confident atmosphere .Although the ox cart was moving, he pressed the abacus on the small table and moved it lightly, occasionally glanced at Shen Zhezi, waiting for the order from the gentleman at any time.

Seeing the little maid's sneaky look, Shen Zhezi smiled slightly, raised his toe and kicked Gua'er Guangjie's ankle: "Guaer, what are you stealing?"

"The servant girl didn't cheat..."

Gua'er hurriedly covered the abacus with his sleeves, but because of his excessive movement, he messed up the abacus with his hands. All the previous hard work was wasted, and his little face suddenly drooped, and he turned around and knelt down at Shen Zhezi's feet. Said: "What orders does your lord have?"

"I've seen it all, what are you hiding?"

Shen Zhezi smiled and pointed to the corner of the paper exposed under the sleeve of the little maid. The little maid looked down, exclaimed and hurriedly covered the sleeve with the other hand, her pretty face flushed, and she seemed extremely embarrassed. Seeing Shen Zhezi's face gradually became tense, and he handed over a roll of account books with some reluctance.

Shen Zhezi took the account book and looked at it, only to find that it was the property account of his mother Wei, and then glanced at his melons, hanging his head and digging at the corner of his clothes. It was a little funny: "My little maid is getting better and better. Is this what the mistress ordered you to do?"

Gua'er hung his head in silence, and nodded slightly after a while.

"Put it away, figure out that there are too many shortfalls, and go to Longxi Manor to pay the bill, without telling the mistress."

The mother's dowry property has always been entrusted to Shangyu Wei and his two uncles, and Shen Zhezi is not easy to ask.The Wei family's family is getting weaker and weaker, and it may not be impossible to deduct the property harvest of the married daughter.Shen's family spends a lot on their own, and his mother Wei's usually doesn't pay attention to these things, but now she entrusts Gua'er to check the accounts, probably because she has gone too far and spent too much, and the small treasury is about to run out.

Shen Zhezi doesn't need to take this kind of trivial matter to heart, but Shen Zhezi is quite proud of the fact that the little maid's ability to calculate has spread to the inner house. as encouragement.

After entering the mountain, the road became increasingly rough. Shen Zhezi got out of the ox cart and motioned to his servants to pick up the gifts, before he climbed up the steps first.When he was about to walk to the Taoist temple, a few people who looked like Zhuang Ding, a big household, suddenly jumped out of the pavilion in the mountain, blocking Shen Zhezi's way, and one of them said respectfully: "This little man wants to go up the mountain to pay a visit to Master Ge? No Coincidentally, my nobleman is watching, can Mr. Xiao Lang..."

"Which evil slave dares to block the way of my lord? This Taoist temple, this Wukang Mountain, my lord can come and go at will whenever he wants, and he needs to report to someone for permission!"

Before Shen Zhezi could speak, the loyal servant Liu Chang had already rushed up, pointing at the other party and berating him angrily.Standing on the mountain path, Shen Zhezi didn't speak, and he felt a little unhappy. The mountain path and the Taoist temple he built were actually blocked by people from entering, and this so-called nobleman inevitably had too much airs.

The Zhuang slave didn't feel ashamed when he was reprimanded. Either he had a strict family education or was full of confidence. He smiled reservedly and saluted, "I'm really sorry for hindering your gentleman's pleasure. My family is from Wu County, and the journey is far away. The master likes to be clean and not Outsiders are making noise. Prepare a small courtesy as an apology."

As he said that, a servant took out a small wine jar from the pavilion, it was the Liquan Zhenjiang sold by the Shen family.Although it is mixed with water, the price is not low, and this kind of package is worth thousands of dollars.

Shen Zhezi laughed when he saw the apology. His family's winemaking controls the output, and it puts less than a thousand catties on the market every year, and it doesn't flow into ordinary stores. It is only digested internally among Wuzhong families. last resort.The other party dared to block the way, but also took out real milk to make amends, it seems that the family background is not weak.

"A mere drink can block people's roads? Just tell me how much your head is worth! If you offer me a price, I will pay you twice as much!"

Liu Chang often followed Shen Zhezi, and when he came in and out, the master of the poor family usually greeted him with a smile. It would be a grievance for him not to bully others. When encountering such a thing, he would naturally help the master to shake his prestige to the fullest: "Your master has a sense of elegance. If you like outsiders making noise, then stay in your own courtyard and don't go out. We Wu Xing have our own rules, even if Gu Lu's family comes here, we can't let everyone avoid it!"

When Zhuang Ding heard this, he sneered immediately, and then said in a deep voice, "Which family is the Unknown Zun's Mansion?"

Hearing the other party's tone turned cold, Shen Zhezi kicked Liu Chang: "How long do you want me to stand here?"

When Liu Chang heard this, he understood what Shen Zhezi meant, and with a move of his hand, the servants of the Shen family rushed up behind him, and they couldn't help but rush forward, capturing all the Zhuang Ding inside and outside the pavilion.The Zhuang Ding who spoke first saw this and yelled: "Stop it, we are Wu County Gu..."

"It's Wujun Gu!"

Liu Changfei kicked this man over, and said majesticly, "My Yulang-jun also has temperament, and he doesn't like people blocking his way!"

A person turned from the top of the mountain road, it was Ji You, who saw the noise of people talking outside the gazebo, his face was already angry, and when he saw Shen Zhezi who was sneering behind him with folded arms, his anger suddenly turned bitter: "Wei Zhou, let me stop!" Misunderstanding, a misunderstanding...don't hurt your peace!"

　There was lightning and thunder just now, and I didn't dare to turn on the computer, for fear that a thunderclap would send me across. . .Sorry for the late update. . .
