Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 76

After tidying up, Zhuang Xun looked well-groomed, and his clothes tended to be gorgeous, and he looked a bit aristocratic.

The new clothes presented by his lover poured her worries and longings into him. Zhuang Xun felt warm when he wore them, and the cold wind that was about to enter the winter could not cool his fiery heart.

Came to Meixin Garden next door, handed over a name sticker, and after a while, Jiang Xianyu took Lan Qiu out to meet Zhuang Xun and welcomed him to the lobby.

"Censor, the last time we parted, the life and death of Yu Shi was uncertain. When we meet again, Yu Shi has already flourished and his future is limitless." Jiang Xianxie looked at Zhuang Xun friendly.

Zhuang Xun saw that she was also very well-behaved. Although today's Jiang Xian is as beautiful as a fairy, compared to the first time he saw her casually, she is even worse. She looks gorgeous and graceful, and those noble phoenix eyes make her temperament The dripping and exquisite display.

But the surprise of watching it the first time was gone. On the contrary, Si Qinmi liked it more and more, and Zhuang Xun didn't understand.

"I would like to thank Mrs. Jiang for taking care of my wife. I often send Miss Lanqiu to visit and ask her about the shortage of supplies." Zhuang Xun said gratefully.

These behaviors of Jiang Xianying also deserve Zhuang Xun's respect. At the beginning, she was recommended, she was rescued at the Wanshou Banquet, and later she helped take care of Si Qinmi. respectful.

"Small matters, trivial actions, are also entrusted by the censor, but the actions of the slave family are too careful, and they don't understand the true meaning of the censor."

Thinking about it makes him feel angry. He was worried about his safety, but he knew that Li Pingyuan had left Yin Du, so Cheng Dieguan voluntarily gave up.

"Forgive Xun for lying to Madam. After all, it is about the battle situation on the front line, and it is also about the lives and deaths of soldiers!" Zhuang Xun also knew that what he did was not kind.

Mrs. Jiang told him the battle report from the front and asked Zhuang Xun to go with her. Zhuang Xun knew that the Yu State might survive but did not tell Mrs. Jiang.

"I don't mean to blame Yushi. Yushi must have made a lot of determination. After all, if Yushi is very confident, he will not entrust Mrs. Yushi to the care of the slave family." It is not easy to start a Zhuang inquiry.

This is a smart woman, and a stupid woman will cling to other people's mistakes and cling to them. For a woman who wants to gain the favor of the other party, if the other party apologizes and forgives the other party, she can gain a lot of favor.

Sure enough, Zhuang Xun immediately had a greater liking for Mrs. Jiang, and guilt turned into more liking.

Si Qin Mi noticed it from the side, but she didn't speak, she kept a faint smile, as if she hadn't come out of the joy of the husband and wife reunion.

"It's really dangerous. It's close to death. Almost, Xun won't see Mrs. Jiang anymore." Zhuang Xun felt very dangerous. If there was no robbery during the day, then Li Rusi would definitely not come to him.

Without Li Rusi's attack, with Huang Xi and his own martial arts, Zhuang Xun didn't think they could survive.

"It seems that the position of censor is not easy to come by." Thinking about it, even if it is recommended by the senior brother of the national teacher, this official title is not easy to get, compared with Zhuang Xun's age.

If it wasn't because Zhuang Xun was indeed recommended by herself, she would have believed the rumors and believed that he was a king living among the people.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say this. The official came out of nowhere. Xun originally thought that Jiedu Youshi was the ceiling for Xun."

Zhuang Xun still doesn't understand why he suddenly got so many levels. This is unscientific and ignorant of human feelings.

"It shows that the censor has great luck, so don't let God down." Mrs. Jiang encouraged.

What kind of God's will, nothing more than Yu Wangcheng's idea of ​​compensating Ge Tan, was recommended by Ge Tan. After all, he must have owed Ge Tan such a pit.

"Of course, Xun will try his best to fulfill his promise to His Majesty." Zhuang Xun nodded, which in itself was what he wanted to do.

"What kind of promise, can it be convenient for my family to know." Mrs. Jiang didn't have any airs, and she was full of smiles. She was really curious about Zhuang Xun's promise to King Yu to help the country of Yu.

"It's nothing that can't be said. Xun just told him that he wants to rule the people, eat well, have clothes for all seasons, and talk big." Zhuang Xun is no longer afraid of others mocking his ideas, at least he is Move towards the goal, even if you can't do it, try your best.

"It does sound a bit dreamy. It's really an amazing vision, but how do you do it?" Mrs. Jiang's Ruifeng eyes lit up, and she somewhat understood why King Yu regarded Zhuang Xun as his own son.

"Take Jiannan Dao as an example. If I want to govern, I first need to win over a group of local tyrants and suppress a group of local tyrants. Although they are all my enemies, they must be prioritized, and those who are willing to obey will stay and help me. Governance, and then bring back the original wandering people, and distribute to them the land that was originally suppressed by the powerful." Zhuang Xun said to discuss the plan with He Zheng.

"It's very stable. For Yu Shi who has not yet gained a firm foothold, it should be able to stand up and win the hearts of the people. What's next." Mrs. Jiang became interested, and she wanted to hear how Zhuang Xun could achieve everyone. There is enough food, and everyone has clothes.

"The second step is to select talents and talents. Many gentry escaped from Jiannan, and selected virtuous people among them to help govern Jiannan. Ask yourself." Since Zhuang Xun is here to attract people and seek investment, he naturally wants to make a big deal.

"Then what? What is the censor going to do?" After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang had already thought of the next step and had a lot of imagination.

She has been in charge of Zhao Guo's government all year round, and she has already planned the development plan of Jiannan Road in her mind in an instant.

"The next step is to let the people live, and at the same time train a group of new officials. Xun hopes that they will come from craftsmen and farmers. Of course, the official positions will not be too high." Zhuang Xun continued.

"Xun thinks that grain production depends on the weather and the location. In the end, the role of people cannot be ignored. If there are professional farmers to analyze agricultural production, promote farming, and play a demonstration role, it can effectively increase grain production. .” Zhuang Xun thought of the great man in his previous life.

Genes should exist in this world. If not, there should be something similar. Anyway, there are always some good ways to refine skills.

"My family understands what the censor means, but this is far from enough." Mrs. Jiang appreciates Zhuang Xun's opinion, but the reason why farmers can't eat enough is not because the grain output is not high. Yield is not low.

No, if it is possible to obtain more than ten times the amount of food through skills, then naturally it can be done, but this is almost impossible unless the world is changed.

"Xun knows that the farmers' food is taken away by the landlords and the state, and the distribution problem is the biggest problem. If you want to feed the people under you, the mouths of the higher authorities must be closed."

Zhuang Xun knows very well that the inherent system of this world cannot be shaken by him. The existence of the underworld has made the world fair. He does not feel that he can gather a group of people with the same ideals.

"Yes, but the state's taxes are indispensable, and there are middle classes such as landlords, which are actually very few in the hands of the people." Mrs. Jiang has also been troubled for a long time. She has discovered that a good harvest is only Increase the food in the landlord's house.

"That's why there are no landlords." Zhuang Xun said directly, he was ready to hit the local tyrants to divide the land, of course he had to be gentle and prepared to cut meat with blunt knives and come in batches.

"I also understand what the censor is thinking. You want to distribute the land to the people, right? But for the next generation, whether it is a disaster or a disease or because of power, the land will inevitably flow to some people. This is useless work! Madam Jiang said with some disappointment, if Zhuang Xun only had this kind of thinking.

"So what, why don't you do this? I think I can have food for everyone while I'm alive. This is already amazing. The method of dividing the land is simple, but most of the people in Jiannan Road don't have enough to eat. Have you reduced the collection of corvees, encouraged farming and sang, and set up officials for this purpose, so that everyone has clothes to wear? As for the future generations, I can be like this, am I better than the ancient sage kings? It is good to be sensitive to the present.”

Zhuang Xun shook his head and said with a smile, he is a kind of sympathetic person, planning for generations to come, I really don’t think so much, things that the industrial society can’t fully do, he doesn’t think he can do well, he can only say hard work Let's make it possible for everyone to live comfortably for a few days while they are alive.

"..." Mrs. Jiang was a little silent at first, and then looked at Zhuang Xun who was looking bright and embarrassed, and was speechless for a while.

Zhuang Xun also thought that he said something wrong, looked at Mrs. Jiang, then at Si Qinmi, seeing Si Qinmi shaking his head with a smile, he felt relieved.

"Jiannan Dao can indeed realize Yushi's wish. I remember that Yushi has led Jiannan Dao on his behalf." Zhuang asked.

She thought it was meaningless before, but for decades, maybe even shorter, there is no need to waste this kind of time with courtiers and aristocratic families.

Now hearing Zhuang Xunmin's thoughts at the moment, it was deafening and enlightening, and he felt ashamed. At least Zhuang Xun really planned to do this, and he had a plan and a feasible plan.

"That's right, but it depends on the negotiation with Cheng Guo. Yu Guo can accept the cession. If Cheng Guo chooses Hebei Road, then naturally Xun will go to Jiannan Road. If Cheng Guo chooses Jiannan Road, then Xun can go to Hebei Province. road."

After a pause, Zhuang Xun said with a wry smile: "If possible, Xun would of course want to go to Hebei Road. After all, governance is not difficult. Don't look at the hype that Xun said, but Xun has no confidence in governing Jiannan Road."

Selling miserably, I am going to find a rich woman for help.

"Jiannan is a good place. Yushi shouldn't say such things. There are three mountains and one river, and Yushi is backed by the Chengyu Kingdom. Are you still worried about Youguo's retaliation?" Mrs. Jiang smiled lightly, covering her face with a round fan, with a kind of dignity Feeling squeamish.

"What is the backing of the two countries? Xun feels helpless, and is always worried that Youguo will rise again and invade." There is no background at all, backed by the two countries.

"The censor is going to deceive the slave family again, not to mention the censor's royal family of Yu State, the matter of the censor and the two daughters of the Li family has been rumored in Jidu. With the back of General Li Pingyuan, I heard that it was General Li. Son-in-law, how dare the people of You Country come to trouble you." Mrs. Jiang joked, sizing up Zhuang Xun with her beautiful eyes, watching his expression change from helplessness to shock.

"It's fine to spread rumors about me in Yu country, but why are they still spreading in Cheng country!" Zhuang Xun gritted his teeth, like a traffic star, the real one, how every move can let the world know.

"Is it a rumor? Yushi has nothing to do with the second daughter of the Li family?" Mrs. Jiang's chuckle already showed that she didn't believe it.

Also, what a businessman needs most is news, not to mention this kind of factual news.

"That's not counting. Mrs. Jiang don't want to make fun of Xun. Xun hasn't come to Li's house to visit and propose marriage. Mrs. Jiang is also aware of the situation in Yu State." I didn't expect that there would be another reason to marry Li Rusi.

"Propose marriage? What about Mrs. Wei?" Mrs. Jiang immediately looked at Si Qinmi, who was like a background board, with a slight smile the whole time. Of course she knew that she married a flat wife, and the news had spread, but she just wanted to see Si Qinmi Qin Mi's reaction.

No response.

"I married a flat wife, so my wife is naturally my wife." This is the bottom line that Zhuang Xun cannot cross.

"If you do this, it will be a little harder to get General Li's support." Mrs. Jiang can imagine Li Pingyuan's anger. Whose daughter is not angry when she gets married and becomes a flat wife?Li's family is still in full swing.

"That's it, you still support me. It's exciting not to beat Xun to death." Zhuang Xun said with a headache. Being a father-in-law's son-in-law feels safe, but first of all, he needs to let Li Pingyuan recognize him as a son-in-law.

"In Yu Kingdom, King Yu's health is declining, basically at the end of the year." Mrs. Jiang added a knife.

"So there's no support from Cheng Yu, Mrs. Jiang, you all know that, and you still make fun of Xun." Zhuang Xun said with a dry smile.

"My family is at fault, and my family is at fault. As an apology, my family also wants to contribute to the realization of Yu Shi's vision in Jiannan. I don't know if Yu Shi dislikes my family." Mrs. Jiang offered to ask to join the group.

Ruifeng's eyes were filled with anticipation, indicating that she really wanted to invest in Zhuang Xun, and the noble wife's round fan only kept these beautiful eyes.

"?" Wait, I haven't asked you yet, I'm just crying and poor, talking about difficulties.

"The censor didn't want to, so he didn't mention it as a slave." Zhuang Xun was stunned, Madam Jiang was in the mood to tease.

"No, I'm asking for your help, madam." Zhuang Xun explained, why don't you want to, isn't that the main purpose of today.

"Then why did the slave family help the censor? How can the censor be sure that the slave family will help you?" Mrs. Jiang blinked her beautiful eyes.

"No, that..." Zhuang Xun was speechless.

"Hehe, hehe..." Mrs. Jiang chuckled, covered by the round fan so she couldn't see it, and the crescent-shaped phoenix eyes eased the embarrassment.

Zhuang Xun also understood that she was teasing him, so he laughed dryly.

"Censor, let's talk first. Whether it is Jiannan Road or Hebei Road, since Yushi has great ambitions, the Nu family will naturally support it. After all, the Nu family likes to see people like Yu Shi realize their ideals."

At the same time, it is also to earn merit for me, and the wishful thinking is clanging.

Now if Li Pingyuan's son-in-law was in Jiannan or Hebei in the enemy's country, Cheng Guo would be worried about using Li Pingyuan as a knife.
