Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1227
When Shen Zhezi returned to the General's Mansion, it was completely dark.

At this time, there was still a small assembly in the vestibule. The conveners of the assembly were the young children of the Shen family. Recently, the students of the library have participated in various assessments for officials in Guanzhong. Many of their studies have stopped, and some are not enough. The young students who are qualified to participate in this matter are rarely at leisure.

Knowing that the general is returning to the mansion, a group of young men rushed out to greet him and lined up on the left side of the road to greet him.Shen Jiu and the other little brothers really hoped that brother could join the small gathering for a while, but Shen Zhezi really had nothing to chat with this group of middle-aged and middle-aged people, so he waved his hand to signal them to go at their own pace, and then went straight to the atrium.

Father Shen Chong returned to Jiangdong as early as the beginning of spring. Although the center of the downlink platform has been transferred to Luoyang, Jiangdong always needs enough people to sit in the town.Although Shen Chong no longer holds a specific post in Taiwan, he can avoid many unnecessary noises if he is in Jiangdong.

However, there are many members of the Shen clan staying in Heluo right now, quite a few of them have held various civil and military positions, and the rest, such as Shen Jiu and other teenagers, are also studying to gain knowledge.

In this regard, Shen Zhezi is quite active in providing various opportunities and conditions for the clansmen.For a long time, the Shen family has only been a family of local tyrants living in Wu Township. There is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of mind, vision, knowledge, and talent.Shen Zhezi also didn't want to see the clansmen still living in the countryside, blindly relying on their family status to pursue their own interests.

In this regard, the father Shen Chong maintained a high degree of agreement with Shen Zhezi. In order to urge the clansmen to go north to hone their training, Jiangdong's various rural assets and industries reduced their holdings a lot.Now the Shen family still has a large-scale property in Jiangdong, which are several ancestral properties located in their hometown of Wukang County. These ancestral properties have been preserved only to keep their roots and pay homage to the ancestors and the elderly and poor in the family, not for profit.

Of course, even so, the children of the Shen family don't have to worry about their livelihood at all.Shen Zhezi did not blindly force his family members to be as clean as water and live in poverty. Even in Jiangdong, it was just a different way of managing the family business. The Shen family still firmly holds a dominant position in industries that have a wide range of influence and are not limited to one place and one time, such as Zhoushi and Zhoushi.

In addition, in the Heluo area, Shen Zhezi also planned a considerable amount of family property.After all, no matter how high his position is, it is impossible for him to enter and exit the public treasury when it comes to human relations such as raising a family or giving gifts.For example, Mang Mountain in the north of Luoyang has beautiful mountains and rivers and magnificent forests. Shen Zhezi indicated that it should be preserved, but did not carry out large-scale reclamation, and left it for future rewards.

In addition to Shen Zhezi's own private business, his family also has a lady with a rich dowry.Because the Shen family reduced their holdings of Jiangdong property, Princess Xingnan also entrusted her family to dispose of most of her dowry property, collected a lot of floating money to carry north, and purchased a large amount of forest land around Luoyang, especially near Yique.

Selling some mountains, forests and fields around Heluo that are not fully reclaimed on a large scale is also a way to generate income. Even if these areas are distributed to ordinary people, it is very difficult to reclaim them, which is not conducive to the people's quick establishment and livelihood. Not to mention wasting resources, it is more likely to be privately occupied by some wealthy families.

Instead of this, it is better for the government to take the initiative to operate sales and collect materials to replenish the warehouse.Of course, Shen Zhezi also admits that although there are no loopholes in the procedure for Princess Xingnan to purchase those fields, in fact there are always some favoritism.

However, starting from Jiangdong in the old year, the Shen family's disposal of property has become a benchmark, and the surrounding prices will rise to a certain extent, which can be regarded as a little compensation.

Another gain is that Shen Zhezi can also use these transaction details to see the shortcomings and speculations of Xingtai's subordinates in handling these affairs, and then repair and rectify them through the system.Therefore, this can be regarded as a kind of fishing law enforcement.

Princess Xingnan is not in the mansion for the past few days, and accompanied her mother-in-law, Wei, who is still in Luoyang, to Yique to inspect the property.As the family status increased, the Wei family felt that the etiquette had paid off after so many years, and his heart for the Tao became more and more passionate.In order to report back to Zong, he planned to build a grand Taoist temple in Yique, and traveled for several days to choose the address.

The thinking logic of these religious people cannot be compared with common sense.Seeing that his mother was so enthusiastic, Shen Zhezi couldn't bear to tell his mother that all those seemingly high-minded and refined masters in Jiangdong Tianshi Dao are just her son's echoes.

However, Shen Zhezi did not object to his mother's idea.It is undeniable that religion has a strong appeal to the people. In recent years, many people from Nantou, Hebei Province have believed in the teachings of Buddhism.Even if Shen Zhezi doesn't occupy such a high ground of thought, there will always be others who will rely on it to make waves.

Instead of this, it is better to support the Taoism of the Celestial Master, which has already been tamed and reorganized, so that it will prosper in the sky.Of course, in this regard, it is absolutely impossible for Xingtai to come forward, and he will not give money, grain, or human support. If he does not prohibit the Taoism of the Heavenly Master from preaching in the sky, it is already a kind of favor.

As for the Taoist temple that the old lady wants to build, in Shen Zhezi's opinion, it is still too small.Shen Zhezi intends to set aside the location of the Longmen Grottoes in later generations for those celestial masters and disciples to build.

This is not to say that it is helping the Tao and destroying the Buddha. It is better to use religious means to solve religious matters. The original teachings are quickly developed and iterated to meet the needs of governance, and no longer serve as a breeding ground for chaos.

In the final analysis, Shen Zhezi's attitude towards religion is that its existence can be tolerated, but it must be used as an auxiliary tool for ruling.Once such signs appear, we must spare no effort to suppress them, seize their teachings, and destroy their bodies.

The old lady and the princess were not at home, and the poor child Axiu also slackened her studies because the princess was worried that she would be spoiled by her father if she stayed at home, so she also took them to Luonan Bieye, so the house was unavoidably deserted.

After Shen Zhezi returned home, he washed and changed his clothes for a while, and then went directly to the concubine's Gua'er courtyard.This lady gave birth in spring and gave Shen Zhezi a little daughter, allowing him to have both sons and daughters.Shen Zhezi was also very happy about this. Recently, no matter how late he is busy every day, he always takes time to go home and have a look.

Shen Zhezi strode over, and a group of people in the yard had already lined up in front of the door waiting.

Gua'er was originally beautiful in Wu Township, but now she is a woman and a mother, wearing a green dress and standing under the shadow of the lamp, she is even more beautiful than a night sky blooming.The only thing is that the personality has not changed much with the change of identity. Seeing the master coming, even the love in the beautiful eyes did not dare to reveal too much. The slender hand has subconsciously raised and smoothed the slightly wrinkled robe belt of the Lord Lang.

"Grandpa, grandpa..."

Before Shen Zhezi could open his mouth to speak, a chubby figure had rushed out from behind the figure, and ran forward staggeringly. It was Shen Pusheng, who threw himself into his father's arms with open arms, and then hugged his father's neck with that jerky, childish voice. He talked endlessly about the little sister in the room.

"Be quiet!"

Mrs. A Ling was also sitting idle in the melon house. At this time, she came up and raised her hand to give Shen Pusheng a brain collapse. She wanted to take her son over, but Shen Zhezi waved her hand and refused.

"The boy is really naughty!"

Shen Zhezi grabbed Shen Pusheng's fat and tender short legs and pinched them under his armpits, then strode towards the room, and slowed down when he crossed the threshold: "Has my little lady slept yet?"

"Slept for a while in the afternoon, and kept laughing after holding the lamp, as if waiting for the general..."

The nurse in the room stepped forward and said with a smile, she couldn't help complimenting how cute the little lady is in her eyes.

The little doll, which has not been fully opened for several months, is more than delicate and not exquisite, but Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing triumphantly when he heard the nurse's praise.Being a parent is unavoidable to show off self-admiration, and it does not make a difference because of status.

He went up to tease her for a while, touching the soft and silky down on the little girl's ears and temples. Shen Pusheng also lay on the other side of the bed with his buttocks pouted, and pouted his fat mouth to bite. My sister's pink and tender fist, and then I got a slap from my father on the buttocks.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Shen Zhezi waited until the little lady fell asleep before coming out again. At this time, the meal had already been prepared in the outer house, and the two sisters sat side by side and waited for the master to eat.

This is a rare leisure time in the day. While eating, Shen Zhezi talked with the two ladies about interesting things about raising children in the curtain.In the middle of the meal, several female relatives from Gua'er's mother's family hurried in to pay respects.Her family was originally a servant of the Shen family, so there is no need to be too formal when they get along for several generations.

During the meal, Shen Zhezi also noticed that Madam A-Ling seemed to be in a low mood. After eating, he ordered Gua'er to go to bed early, and he picked up Shen Pusheng, who was already sound asleep, and went to Madam A-Ling's dorm to rest.

When the husband and wife were alone at night, Shen Zhezi mentioned that Madam A Ling was not in a good mood, and said casually: "I am rarely leisurely all year round, and Pu Sheng is stubborn and unreasonable. Divide the love. The lady is not happy, it is better to send someone to invite the father-in-law to Tianzhong, and he can also greet him in his daily life and serve him warm and cold."

Cui Hui lived in Wuzhong for a long time, and never followed their husband and wife to the north.There are several people in Shen Zhezi's room, not to mention Princess Xingnan, even Gua'er is often accompanied by relatives, but Mrs. Aling's mother's family has few members, and it is inevitable that she will be lonely after a long time.

"The relatives are weak, it is probably fate. The concubine can be by the side of the servant, the princess is kind and tolerant, and the children are happy around the court. She is already the most beautiful, and I really have no regrets. My grandfather is happy in Wuxiang, and I can get it." Living in an apartment and enjoying the rest of the year, there is really no need to go long distances north regardless of old troubles."

Mrs. A-Ling snuggled into her master's arms softly, covering up a little sorrow with a smile on her face.Although this lady came from a famous family, but she suffered a lot when she was young, she was originally lively and active, riding horses and flying pills, with a heroic appearance, but after she really got into the house, she abided by Anshun women's morals, which made Shen Zhezi quite uncomfortable.

"My house is not an ordinary house, and my wife really doesn't have to suppress her temperament blindly. I still remember seeing her at the beginning of the year, and the lady's hearty and heroic appearance was amazing. Even if I don't say anything else, you must give in to the unique skill of the slingshot flying pill." The pouch was given to my family, Pusheng, so that this kid can learn a lot of skills, so that he won't be ridiculed for being mediocre."

Hearing the master's words about the bad old days, Mrs. A Ling couldn't help being ashamed and hesitated.

After laughing and talking, Shen Zhezi said again: "I know that the lady is a famous lady, and I really wronged you by serving in the house. But it is difficult to let the customs stop. I have been thinking about it recently. My father-in-law has only an orphan girl at his knees. It cannot be called comprehensive. A few days ago, Wen Hongzu went north, and I privately asked him to get in touch with Qinghe’s hometown in addition to his official duties. If he can visit one or two close ethnic groups, he can also attract people from the south to carry on the inheritance for his father-in-law. .But it is a family matter after all, later my wife remembers to send a subpoena to ask, does the father-in-law have this intention?"
