Fengqi Jingshi

Mr. Zhang nodded and said:

"That's right. General Shen took such great effort to accomplish this, he didn't hesitate to pull down his own brother's title, and fulfilled his reputation of being jealous of evil. In fact, he wanted to embrace the beauty - this beauty's The weight can be seen! I never thought that a person as cold as General Shen Da would be able to move Fan Xin."

Prime Minister Liu slowly shook his head and said:

"Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. You go and find out if this is the case. If it is, you must pay attention to the movements of Miss Li."

Mr. Zhang should be, got up and saluted respectfully, and then backed out.

Prime Minister Liu picked up the snuff that was beside him, picked some up on the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and sneezed hard, feeling much more relieved.

But Shen Junzhuo couldn't feel better. He had just returned from the Shen's ancestral hall when Bai Jin's [-]-mile urgent message came over.He thought that there was new news from Li Cunren, but when he opened it up, he frowned tightly.

Xue Qihong knew the reason and said:
"At the beginning of the year, the 50 taels of silver copied from Lin Shilang was transferred to the supervisor to widen the canal. Who knew that the project was too big, and the 50 taels were thrown away without even a sound. In the summer flood season, there were continuous days of heavy rains, the water level of the Yellow River soared, and the bottom of the canal was silted with sand, and the river surface was not wide enough, so the embankment would burst with the flood.”

Shen Junzhuo patted the received letter on the table, and said:

"Does the prime minister know about this?"

Xue Qihong nodded and said:
"The report has passed, and the prime minister said: 'Natural disasters will be avoided, and disasters will be cured.'"

Shen Junzhuo pinched the base of his nose, feeling a little annoyed, saying such ambiguous words was like saying nothing.To cure disasters, you need money and food, and to cure disasters, you still have to control the Yellow River and widen the canal.

It only talks about disaster relief, but doesn't arrange for money to go there. What can be used to treat it?Worship the Hebo Temple or the Earth Temple?This great world, when did it become a burden to him alone? It's not enough for him to take care of military affairs, does he even have to worry about people's livelihood?
The country of more than 200 years has long been decayed, and the wind and rain are precarious. Maybe one day it will suddenly fall apart. At that time, will he still have to turn the tide to keep this community?

He thought for a while, and felt tired. After all, he couldn't bear the sorrows and souls in the Yellow Flooded Area. He added [-]% of his dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Liu who only stared at the movements in the palace, and ordered:
"Have someone go to the household department to check how much money they can come up with now. We will go to the court tomorrow morning and arrange for our people to escort the money to the disaster relief. Now go and pay 10 taels of silver from my account and send it over first. .”

Xue Qihong hesitated when he saw that he was going to move his money. After all, no matter how much money he had, how could he be saved? This is the culmination of disasters everywhere.But human life is at stake, if one can be saved, it is one.He thought about it for a while, and finally agreed. He went out and arranged for people to investigate the details of the household, and at the same time went to Shen Junzhuo's accountant, paid 10 taels of silver, and paid 5000 taels himself, and found an appropriate person to deposit the money. I set off on the same day, not mentioning the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River.

The affairs in the yamen were busy all day long, and at dusk, Shen Junzhuo took time to visit Shu Yao.

The coolness brought by a heavy rain soon passed, and after a while, the ground became hot again, and it was still sweltering even at this time.

When he entered the door, he saw Mama Xie pointing at someone to change the ice in the house, carrying out jars of water, and bringing in jars of ice into the house.

When the servants saw him, they saluted quietly, and then went about their business.There were two layers of light gauze curtains hanging in front of the door of Shu Yao's room, the light inside was dimly seeping through, and there was a breeze blowing by, making the gauze rippling, making him feel warm and peaceful at a glance.

Before he entered the door, he heard her talking to a few little maids inside:

"Mash some, fine foam is good."

A few little maids responded with a smile, and he heard a clanging sound. When he opened the curtain and went in, he saw a large piece of colorful things laid out on the table, and the little maids were pounding something with pestles. .

Seeing him coming, Shu Yao immediately showed a smile, put down the things in her hands, and walked towards him.

He waved his hand to let the little maids go down, and Shu Yao dragged him to the table, pointed at the things on the table, and said:

"Guess what this is for?"

He glanced at the crushed ice under the pestle, and immediately knew that she was going to make ice bowls like the woman in the night market, but he just pretended not to know, saying:

"With so many things, is it possible to make Laba porridge?"

Shu Yao covered her mouth and smiled, took a bowl, first filled some crushed ice, then poured melted honey water, red beans, mung beans, honeydew melon, peanuts from the table one by one, and finally sprinkled it with With a spoonful of rose water, all the things on the bowl are bright in color, and the crushed ice underneath is crystal clear, it is really beautiful.

She held the bowl in front of him, smiled and said:
"Try this, I tried it, it's much better than what we ate at the night market that day!"

He smiled and took a sip. In fact, he doesn't like sweets very much, but he couldn't bear to refuse after watching her make these. After chewing a few times in his mouth, the taste is really good, sweet but not greasy. There are so many things Inside, the ice isn't as chilling either.

He nodded and praised:

"Not bad, it's really much better!"

When she heard this, her smile became even wider, and she brought out another bowl, and then she asked the little maids to come in and clean it up for them to eat, and then ordered someone to serve dinner.

For a while, the two ate dinner quietly.

The room she was in was much cooler than the outside, and because of her presence, there was a faint, vague fragrance in the room. On such a hot and anxious night, staying in What a treat here.

A servant came in to clear the table, the two of them cleaned their hands, and just as they sat down again, Shu Yao suddenly became serious, looking at him with bright eyes, and said:

"Are you short of money?"

Shen Junzhuo was taken aback, is he short of money?Not missing, not missing.If it was him, the money in his hand would be enough for him and her for a few lifetimes, but if he considered Dacheng's leaky appearance, it might not be enough to make up for it.

He smiled and said:
"Could it be that Mr. Sui also taught you that you can't do business? Are you going to open a shop to sell these ice bowls?"

Shu Yao chuckled, then quickly returned to seriousness, saying:

"How much is it worth to sell this ice bowl? I know that the silver you are short of is not a matter of a few thousand taels, even a few hundred thousand taels. If you rely on this ice bowl, you may not be able to sell it in a few lifetimes." Come out with the money." After a pause, she took out a map from behind, spread it out in front of him, pointed to the terrain in Jingzhou, and said:

"Jingzhou is a land of prosperity. Yang Wanguang and Cao Wenyi have privately raised the poll tax and exploited a lot from the people of Jingzhou over the years of their tenure. People from the Qingshan faction checked Jingzhou, and a small part of the tax money was left in their hands. Li, most of them were sent to the capital..."

Saying that, she glanced at Shen Junzhuo, and Shen Junzhuo saw a hint of cunning and alertness in her eyes, he smiled softly, and said:
"You want to intercept the money?"
