When I woke up, my whole family was in rebellion!

Chapter 52 The master fights, never need to face each other

Song Lian felt that there was something in her words, so she didn't dare to speak up for a while, for fear that she might guess the wrong meaning, which would be self-defeating.So he just smiled and quietly picked up the vegetables.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Su has really worked hard these past few years. Although it took a lot of time to rebuild the Yuhang dam before, I heard that although there was a lot of rain this year, it did not cause floods, and the people praised it... "

Yuhang has been plagued by floods over the years, but it is also a land of fish and rice, which can bring a lot of food and wealth to the court.

In order to solve this problem, the Holy Lord asked the Ministry of Households to allocate 200 million taels to rebuild the dykes and dams in nine counties of Yuhang.And for the first time, the supervision and responsibility system is adopted. The person in charge of each item will sign and pledge. Once there is a problem in any part, the person in charge will be questioned!
This initiative, unprecedented, took three full years to complete the reconstruction of the dams in nine counties.

This year there is no flood in Yuhang, the common people can have food and clothing, and the sacred heart is happy. He praised the Ministry of Industry for its effective work in the hall, so Su Shangshu is also full of joy recently.

Song Lian naturally knew about these things. During the days when the embankment was being built, her master was so worried that he couldn't sleep every day and night, for fear that if something went wrong, he would be implicated.

So he kept an eye on Yuhang's progress day and night.My confidants were also sent there, just to prevent someone from filling their own pockets!
Fortunately, the matter has been successfully concluded now. The nine dams took the effort of the entire Ministry of Industry. It is not known how many versions have been changed just for the design drawings.

"It's what we adults should do to relieve the worries of the common people and the sage." Song Lian smiled and brushed the hair hanging from her ears behind her ears, "Women like me have little knowledge and can't help you." What are you busy with, and you are often ashamed of it..."

"That's right, Mrs. Song is too self-effacing." Shen Qing straightened her expression, and finally stopped being around, and asked: "I heard that there are several palaces in the palace that have been in disrepair for a long time, and the Holy Majesty decided to ask the Ministry of Industry to repair them." ?”

Before Yuhang rebuilt the dam, plus the annual expenses, the Ministry of Households was already crying poorly, and hoped that there would be no further construction.

However, there are several palaces in the palace that have been in disrepair for a long time, and the concubines who live in them complain again and again, blowing pillow wind next to the Holy One every day, which makes him unbearable.

So the Ministry of Households was asked to allocate money, and the Ministry of Industry was responsible for repairing all the palaces that had been in disrepair for a long time.And during the days of recuperation, those who live in it are almost sharing with those in other temples.

"It seems that there is such a thing..." Song Lian didn't dare to take it seriously, she was a woman, and she didn't dare to rashly discuss her own adult's political affairs.

But what Shen Qing was waiting for was her words, his posture relaxed a little, and he said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I have a distant nephew who recently came to Beijing to ask for an errand. He doesn't have much talent either. , Even if you do some timber business, you still have some achievements."

wood?

Song Lian kept an eye out, "It's good to make wood now. I heard from our adults before that because of the Japanese pirates in the south, the wood can't be transported by water, so the price has risen, and it is more than twice as expensive as before."

"Yeah, the Japanese pirates are rampant. It's really abominable. No, it's also because of this reason that my nephew changed his way to Yanjing and wanted to do something."

Shen Qing was not provocative, but explained with a smile: "You also know that our prince doesn't care about these things on weekdays. After all, he is from my natal family, so I can only worry about it here."

Song Lian's heart moved, although this nephew was a distant nephew, he was a relative after all, since Shen Qing could speak up in person, the relationship must not be bad.

It just so happened that the palace recently renovated the palace, and wood was also needed.If she were to send people to the Ministry of Industry, she would definitely not dare to do it.

But this item of purchase is already very watery, if it can be sold as good as Princess Huai, it will be convenient for future exchanges.

"The princess is a kind person, and she makes women feel ashamed. Last time I heard our adults say that because the price of wood has risen, we are worried about where to buy it... I don't know how much my nephew, the princess, has on hand?"

At this time, Shen Qing really laughed, "It's not too much, but it's covered a few hills, but it can handle some projects. Listen to him, although the waterway can't go, but there is still a land line on his side , but it didn’t rise much.”

She paused, and said softly: "If Master Shang Shu needs it, for my sake, he can be lenient."

Song Lian's eyes lit up, there was still room for negotiation!

She raised her glass to respect Shen Qing, "Don't worry, my lord, since it's the lord's business, the women will naturally do their best. When the lord is free, I will convey the princess's intentions to him."

Shen Qing also raised her glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "That's very good."

Xie Lingyun sat by and listened for a long time, until now, she finally understood what her mother and concubine wanted to do when she went out this time.When I was in the palace before, the mother and concubine were either fasting or asking questions. Even if they invited a few ladies to the palace, they would still drink health tea, which was not interesting.

So in her previous life, when she knew that the entire Jiangnan area was almost under her control, Xie Lingyun was really taken aback!
She couldn't understand before, how the gentle and gentle mother and concubine could make such a huge fortune.Even the manufacture of weapons for the rebellion in Prince Huai's residence was fully supported by her.

When I saw it today, I realized that I was really short-sighted and blinded by a leaf.

There are some things that don't need to be all-powerful, as the concubine's mother and concubine moisten things silently and softly can achieve the goal, that is the real means.

She still has a lot to learn.

"Yun'er, you can't stay here anyway, go play with the two older sisters." Obviously, Shen Qing still had something to say to Mrs. Song, so Xie Lingyun asked Xie Lingyun to take the two juniors away.

"Yes, concubine mother."

Xie Lingyun got up together, Su Yunqi and Su Mu hurriedly stood up.However, compared to Su Yunqi's actions, Su Mu was obviously much flustered.

"I'm not familiar with this place, how about it, sister Yunqi, show us around, this is the first time I've come to Shangshu Mansion!"

When Xie Lingyun laughed, she looked like an innocent and harmless little girl.But Su Yunqi didn't dare to slack off on her, and immediately greeted her with a smile: "It's a daughter's honor to be able to lead the way for the princess."

So she took Xie Lingyun and Su Mu to the backyard.There is a small garden there, and there is a small lake in it. A pavilion is set up in the middle of the lake. When the lights are on at night, it has a different artistic conception.

After all, the front yard is full of male guests, so even if she had the guts, she wouldn't dare to take the princess there.At this time, there should be no one in the small garden, and it would not be possible to bump into the princess.
