Chapter 251 It’s spoken to the heart

"No, Xiao Wujin, you absolutely cannot go to the capital!"

Shen Ru immediately stopped and said, "You knew someone was ambushing you on the road, how could you throw yourself into a trap!"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru anxiously, and his expression was solemn.

"Killing the Jiedu Envoy means that the imperial court will be cut off from the Liangzhou army. If the imperial court thinks that Liangzhou is not under control..."

"Even so, there can be no worse outcome than now."

Shen Ru's expression was heavy: "Yan Shaoqing told me before that the imperial decree from King Qin of Liangzhou to guard the army is coming soon. If it doesn't arrive...it will be intercepted."

"The imperial court will not send food and grass. The Holy Emperor has too much time to take care of himself. Even if he doubts Liangzhou's autonomy, he does not have the military power to deal with Liangzhou."

Shen Ru spoke very quickly, speaking out all his thoughts in one breath, then took Xiao Wujin's arm and said with a stern expression: "Xiao Wujin, you can't go to the capital. Think about it for yourself. The information from the cabinet colleagues Can it still be spread?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru steadily, hesitated for a while and then said, "Why does Yan Shaoqing want to tell you this?"

"I know the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, and I don't want you to worry anymore."

Shen Ru looked calm, "Xiao Wujin, we are all humans, not gods. We really can't take care of the world."

"Do you believe that Daduan will die?"

It's not that she believes it or not, but that she knows it is inevitable.

"Xiao Wujin, this time my family was exiled, Prince Jing's Mansion, An Guohou's Mansion, and many ministers of the court were all dealt with. Of the more than [-] people who were exiled, how many were directly executed. The vitality of the imperial court was severely damaged, and Southwest The rebels are coming in force, Xiao Wujin, what do you think?"

"Isn't it because you stayed away from the cabinet and came to Liangzhou because you have already seen something clearly?"

Shen Ru asked sharply, leaving Xiao Wujin silent for a moment.

Suddenly, he pulled Shen Ru over and kissed her directly.

"Xiao Wujin, you..."

"Close your eyes!"

The hot breath made Shen Ru want to push Xiao Wujin away, but his momentum of attacking a city really made Shen Ru feel weak.

"What are you doing!" Until Xiao Wujin let go of herself and Shen Ruhao spoke, he was shocked by his delicate voice.

"Aru, I always feel like you've put a spell on my head. You're saying things that I know very well but don't dare to face or believe."

Xiao Wujin hugged Shen Ru's waist and gasped, how could she reach the deepest part of his heart?
"Then...not going to the capital?"

Shen Ru asked weakly, "Don't go, really don't go."

"Well, not going!"

Xiao Wujin's mind wandered, indeed, it was one thing whether he could get to the capital, but it was another thing entirely whether he could get food and grass when he arrived in the capital!

"That guy Yan Shaoqing still dares to talk to you in private, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

"Are you jealous!" After hearing Xiao Wujin's words, Shen Ru felt relieved and grabbed Xiao Wujin's pocket and said with a chuckle.

"Yes, my Aru is different from ordinary women. She can talk about state affairs, people's livelihood, and do business. She can say what I guess, and she can also go to the Western Regions with Yan Shaoqing. Aru! What should I do? Only then can you follow me willingly!"

"That's fine with you."

Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin, well, she couldn't let Xiao Wujin leave Liangzhou. That lunatic Pei Wenjing definitely didn't want Liangzhou to contact the capital.

"Zhao Gongming is also uneasy. The 20 defenders at the border must not leave Liangzhou."

Xiao Wujin frowned slightly. How could he say that the cost of food and clothing for a 20-strong army was not a pressure?

"You always take things upon yourself."

Shen Ru sighed: "Let's just wait and see what happens. If we really can't eat, we can raise funds publicly. It can relieve the situation for a while. We can also go to Suzhou and Ganzhou to make arrangements. They always know the truth about death from cold lips and teeth. ." "Well, what have you been busy with recently?"

"Over at the ranch, there are currently a lot of milk orders. My goat milk needs to be boiled and cooled. Well, I want to build a cold storage at the ranch."

"There were some diseases and insect pests in the cotton fields before, but Mr. Sinong led his people to deal with them. Now we just have to wait for a good harvest, and then hire some part-time workers to pick cotton."

Shen Ru talked about the things at hand and said that he was busy, but fortunately there were enough people.

"There is a war outside, have you ever thought about what the cotton is going to be used for? You know, many people in Liangzhou can't even wear coarse linen clothes, let alone cotton clothes."

Xiao Wujin asked, "If you want to sell it outside, you need the Yan family's caravan."

"It's not urgent. If the cotton is kept dry, it will be fine. Besides, I also have other uses."

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru's appearance and didn't ask any more questions.

"Hey, there is something I want to discuss with you." Shen Ru asked.

"Huh?" Xiao Wujin couldn't help but be curious if she still had something to discuss with him.

"I want to open a restaurant that specializes in mutton and mutton soup. It can be a restaurant. Do you think it would be better to open the restaurant in the city, or near the ranch?"

"Aru, do you know that going to a restaurant is something most people can't afford?"

Xiao Wujin asked: "Although there are many rich people in Liangzhou, most of them are poor people who are worried about their livelihood. If you open a restaurant, have you ever thought about how many customers you can have?"

"Yan Shaoqing said the same thing. If you say that, even if you get to the pasture, it will be difficult for people from the city to pass by!"

“What kind of delicacy requires someone to ride to the ranch?”

Xiao Wujin asked, "Aru, you need to think more."

"Then... let's add barbecue to the tavern!"

Shen Ru thought quickly. Since it was impossible to open a large restaurant and the ranch was too far away, he would open a small restaurant and have a barbecue.

"It doesn't need to be a busy place. Come on, I know how to do it. Xiao Wujin, thank you!"

Shen Ru was going to go back and let Cui Xi find a shop.

"Aru, I don't think I said anything."

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru's eyes that suddenly lit up and said a little puzzled.

"Well, you said it, anyway, I understand."

Shen Ru said with a smile: "Look, in a tavern, you can get a bowl of wine for two cents. Just drinking is boring, so let's have a small meat skewer. Not only the rich can care about it, but ordinary people can also come and try it." ."

"I see you have a lot of things in your mind. Do you think if I pour them out, can I come up with more novel ideas?"

Xiao Wujin joked that the road ahead was difficult, but seeing Shen Ru's enthusiasm for life gave him confidence.

"It's pouring, you're pouring it!"

Shen Ru tilted his head and joked with Xiao Wujin.

Outside, Luneng and the others were relieved when they heard the teasing laughter coming from the study.

"When Mr. Commander-in-Chief left, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He knew that something bad would happen. But Miss Shen came and made him feel happier. It's great!"

"It would be great if Miss Shen got married earlier!" Wang Yang said thoughtfully.

"My Lord, we don't have a betrothal gift for marrying a wife." Luneng said dejectedly, "My Lord, it's a long road to marrying a wife!"
