Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 134

"Do you know how much financial and manpower it takes to build a canal? If the granite from the quarry had not been sold, wouldn't Liangzhou's taxes have come from farmers cultivating the land?"

Xiao Wujin said, "It's not that I didn't think of other ways in the past, and I also thought about asking wealthy businessmen in Liangzhou to contribute money, but do you think those people are so easy to talk to?" He didn't want to talk more about the suffering he had experienced in the past. His position must be continued no matter how difficult it is.

"Also, with the [-] troops stationed at the border, what's the point of blocking the river?"

"Grow the fields to raise troops!"

Shen Ru said: "Isn't the food and drink for a hundred thousand troops provided by the imperial court? Where does the imperial court's money come from? The people's excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. You farmers and herdsmen in Liangzhou work so hard. The harvest is not good, and you still have to pay taxes. .”

"We haven't fought in many years. It's expensive to maintain an army of [-] people!"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru curiously, and then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling.

"How come you, a daughter of a prince, care so much about farmers?"

"My grandfather, at the beginning, he was fighting everywhere and stayed at the border of Liangzhou for five years."

Shen Ru used the late old Marquis as an excuse, "Many of my martial arts skills and knowledge were taught by my grandfather."

"I have heard about Mr. Shen's deeds. Have you ever looked for Zhao Gongming? He used to be Mr. Shen's subordinate."

Xiao Wujin couldn't help but ask.

"No, my grandfather definitely doesn't want us to use his name for convenience."

"I think you might as well put the project of digging the river on the agenda now. If you have any trouble, list them all."

Shen Ru then said: "I like to solve troubles!"

Only Shen Ru could think of letting an army of [-] men dig a river!
However... Xiao Wujin changed his mind and realized that the relationship between the Shen family and Zhao Gongming seemed to have room for change.

In the Yan family, Shen Ru was life-saving to Yan Shaoqing, so in other words, Shen Ru could bargain with Yan Shaoqing.

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru with a hint of planning.

"Don't look at me, what are you planning?"

Shen Ru keenly caught Xiao Wujin's expression and immediately calmed down and asked.

"I just think that maybe it's not such a bad thing for the Shen family to come to Liangzhou!"

Xiao Wujin said calmly: "By the way, Yan Shaoqing already knows about the fine salt. He will sell the fine salt to the Western Regions."

"You didn't say it had anything to do with me!"

Shen Ru was shocked. Could Yan Shaoqing's curiosity about his North Courtyard be related to Xianyan?

"Of course not. If there are rumors that you can refine fine salt, you won't be able to stay in Liangzhou."

Xiao Wujin glanced at Shen Ru and then continued to look at the mountains in the distance.

She knows a lot, Shen Ru muttered in her heart, but didn't show it on her face.

"Now that I'm out, I want to see the herdsmen in Liangzhou."

Shen Ru suggested: "Where are the most herdsmen?"

"What, you want to herd sheep?"

Xiao Wujin joked in a rare way.

"No, I miss the sheep!"

Shen Ru said very seriously and made a knife gesture.

Xiao Wujin suddenly lost his voice, was stunned for a while and said: "Why?"

“Isn’t raising sheep just for food?”

Shen Ru asked back, "Sheep eat grass. When they are raised, don't they just sell them and eat them?"

It seems so.Xiao Wujin couldn't even say anything to deny it.

"There are herdsmen who herd horses, herd sheep, and raise cattle. Do you want to see them all?"

"Yes, our Shen family should do something in Liangzhou!"

Shen Ru said, not to mention milk, goat milk is not yet popular; kebabs have not yet become a midnight snack, these are all business opportunities. "It's rare for you to be so motivated."

Xiao Wujin praised: "You are indeed different from those women in the boudoir of aristocratic families."

"Oh, it's just forced by life."

Shen Ru said perfunctorily.

Xiao Wujin took Shen Ru to find the herdsmen.

Liangzhou has a prairie that is not found in the Central Plains, but the grassland is not at its most lush right now.

"Xiao, Lord Xiao!"

Xiao Wujin had obviously been to this family before. When the other owner saw Xiao Wujin, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Master Xiao is here today. What orders do you have?"

"Nothing, I'll accompany Miss Shen to have a look."

Xiao Wujin said, and also introduced to Shen Ru: "Everyone calls him Mr. Zhang. He has five hundred sheep at home, and his sons each have hundreds of cattle and sheep."

"Old woman, Mr. Xiao has brought the girl over. Hurry up and get some goat's milk wine."

"Girl, what girl?"

The person in the room heard the sound and ran out immediately. It was an elderly woman.

"Master Xiao, this girl is so beautiful!"

The woman's face was flushed with red. When she smiled, her yellow teeth were exposed, but her expression was very kind.

"What are you looking at? Don't scare the girl away."

Mr. Zhang pretended to scold and invited Xiao Wujin and Shen Ru to sit down.

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to drink this goat's milk yourself?"

Xiao Wujin was surprised and said that this goat's milk was a bit smelly. He had drank it when he first came to Liangzhou and couldn't bear it at all.

"It's not fishy, ​​Master Xiao. You outsiders are not used to drinking goat's milk. Goat's milk is a good thing."

Mr. Zhang obviously knew what Xiao Wujin was thinking.

"Goat milk and cow's milk are both good things. If processed well, the fishy smell can be removed."

Shen Ru nodded and said, "If it's convenient, I'd also like to buy some goat milk to take back to my family."

Aren’t the children at home still growing? Can’t the goat milk be drunk after boiling it, sterilizing it, and then diluting it a little?

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru in surprise, she didn't say anything before.

"That's just right. Some of the goats at home have just given birth, and there's plenty of goat milk."

Mr. Zhang said, and as he finished speaking, the woman came out with a pot of goat's milk wine.

"It's cold, so I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it, so I heated it up. You two can have a bowl while it's hot!"

"Okay, I'm new to Liangzhou and I've never had any before."

Shen Ruzhen followed the good advice and did not have any objection at all because of the herdsman's dress and location.

Xiao Wujin was quite surprised. On the way to exile, Shen Ru's family was still riding in a carriage. He once felt that the Shen family was used to being pampered.

The entrance was warm and mellow, full of milky aroma, sweet and sour. Shen Ruru drank it carefully as if appreciating fine wine, then nodded and said: "It tastes good. Do you still have this? I want to buy some to take home to my family." "

The distance from the city to here is not short. If you want to drink fresh goat milk every day, you need to travel such a distance, which is not cost-effective.

If you buy a large amount of fresh goat milk, but there is no insulation... Shen Ru suddenly thought of his own space.

Ha, time in space stops, which means that she can store a large amount of fresh goat milk and milk...

Shen Ru has already thought of countless dairy plans in his mind. Now that he has come to the northwest, should he build a farm?

The sky is vast and the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep appear low?
