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

Chapter 253 Shen Ru is regarded as a genius

Xiao Wujin agreed to Zhao Gongming's help in solving the food and grass issue, but chose to raise funds publicly in Liangzhou.

"Sir, in addition to raising donations, we can raise taxes. Wouldn't this be more justifiable?"

The prefect Hou Wenzheng remonstrated: "There are only a few rich people in Liangzhou who are famous. The Yan family is the richest. It is better to increase the taxes of the Yan family..."

"Did the Yan family dig up your ancestral grave?"

Xiao Wujin said directly, and he was very open about protecting the Yan family.

"Gooses pluck their feathers, but if you only catch one big goose to pluck, you will eventually get pecked in the eye."

"In the name of fundraising, you should think about it, you can't let me rack your brains every time!"

"Sir, since it's military supplies, why don't you just say no?"

Hu Cao's Hu Si said bluntly: "But sir, can you tell me why Liangzhou has to deal with all the military supplies and grain and grass by itself? Where is the Jiedu envoy?"

"died!"

Xiao Wujin said: "When I went to Beijing to move food and grass, I was assassinated. The murderer is unknown."

"Do you think we should support Liangzhou's army ourselves? Without food and grass, what do you think will happen to Liangzhou when the barbarians from outside the pass invade?"

"This... Liangzhou is the northwest barrier of the country. Doesn't the imperial court care about it?"

The prefect said hesitantly, with a worried look on his face, as if he already had the answer in his heart.

"It is beyond our reach and we have too much time to take care of ourselves. Although we are far away in Liangzhou, you must have heard about the current situation. It is time for us to defend Liangzhou ourselves!"

Xiao Wujin did not sugarcoat the situation and directly stated the current situation in Liangzhou.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, he didn't rush him. The current situation was here, and smart people knew how to choose.

"We in Liangzhou have the Liangzhou army, so we don't need to be afraid of any rebels."

"If Jiangshan falls, there will be Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Shazhou ahead of us, and we in Liangzhou will be considered safe, so we still have to raise food and grass!"

"The imperial court... doesn't want to attack Liangzhou's army, right? No, if Liangzhou loses its army, then the Western Regions Cavalry..."

Listening to everyone below muttering, Xiao Wujin pressed his fingers on the table again and again until everyone became quiet.

"Go ahead, prepare everything, raise funds publicly, think about what kind of thorns there will be, and deal with them in advance."

Finally, Xiao Wujin spoke and sent everyone away.

The payment from Xiaoyan will have to wait for a few more months, and the grain and grass at the border can't wait any longer. Xiao Wujin is also planning to send someone to Ganzhou to borrow grain. All the many things are piling up, so he has no time to go to Shen Ruxiaoju. .

Shen Ru is also busy over there. The goat milk business is expanding, but the summer is too hot and must be stored at low temperatures. She has already had someone build an icehouse, using ice made from saltpeter.

Making ice from saltpeter was also the wisdom of the ancients in her own world, but here, Shen Ru discovered that she had accidentally set a precedent.

"My boss, you are really amazing. From now on, you won't be afraid of summer anymore. As long as you have this saltpeter, won't there be ice?"

The people at the ranch were in admiration of Shen Ru.

"Sister Shen, you are so awesome. That icehouse is so cool. Our goat milk can be left in there for a whole day without going bad!"

Immediately, he admired Shen Ru more and more, and even Mrs. Yu looked at Shen Ru with a bit of amazement.

"Miss Shen, it seems that no one in the capital is as good as you!" Such Shen Ru is not very conspicuous in the capital. Mrs. Yu feels that the Shen family is really hiding their clumsiness!

"Ha, Aunt Yu, every famous family in the capital has its own merits. I am probably the one who goes astray."

Shen Ru was ashamed, whether it was refining fine salt or making ice from saltpeter, they were actually the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients in her world!
"Those who can survive in troubled times are truly talented people."

Mrs. Yu said: "Miss Shen, no one I have ever seen can compare to you!"

"Ha, ha, ha, Aunt Yu, don't praise me. There is more demand for goat's milk, and it will be harder for you to keep accounts here."

Shen Ruke couldn't stand the praise from others.

"Master, come on, try the lamb I roasted this time and see if it has the taste you mentioned, the taste outside the customs!"

Chef Zhuang also came over with a plate of mutton skewers. The method of barbecue was also mentioned by Shen Ru. Shen Ru wanted to open a barbecue restaurant and wanted to invite Chef Zhuang to cook. Here, Chef Zhuang also asked him to find a new one. chef selection.

Shen Ru picked up a bunch and ate it, then nodded, it had that taste.

"Chef Zhuang, you can add a little more spiciness. Spiciness can increase people's appetite."

Shen Ru suggested, "I will buy some spices and come back, and then I will confirm a fixed supplier."

"Okay, boss, don't worry. If I can't grill the mutton skewers to your satisfaction, I'll stop working as a cook."

Seeing Chef Zhuang's confident look, Shen Ru couldn't help but said: "Chef Zhuang, don't you think it's too unqualified to ask you, a chef, to cook kebabs?"

"No, I don't think so. I just think that you, boss, can use spices in the ingredients to preserve the flavor of the ingredients and enhance the taste. You are simply amazing!"

Chef Zhuang said sincerely: "I have been cooking for 20 years, but I don't think about this mutton. How can I still do this?"

Shen Ru smiled awkwardly, that was because Chef Zhuang had never been out of Liangzhou in his life.

Liangzhou only has so many supplies, but cooking is just like that!
In the pasture, Shen Ru received a lot of praise.When anyone saw her, they looked at her like a Bodhisattva, which made her want to avoid them.

She did something ordinary, but in the eyes of others, it became a shocking act. It was so... guilty!

After the sun weakened, Shen Rucai returned home from the ranch and accidentally saw Shen Ping behaving too intimately with a man. She couldn't help but take a second look. It was the man who drank with Shen Ping in the wine shop that time.

Doesn't Shen Ping want to marry Yan Shaoqing? Why, she already likes someone else?
Shen Ru was surprised, but didn't bother to intervene.

"Sister-in-law, please help me. Ping'er is going to move out. She is a girl, where can she move to?"

After dinner that day, before Shen Ru returned to the hospital, she saw her second aunt anxiously coming to talk to Shen's mother.

"Move out, Shen Ping wants to move out, is she renting a house outside?"

Shen Ru interrupted.

"Yeah, I don't know where she got the money, and it's too unsafe for her to live outside with a girl."

Qian was very anxious: "I, the mother-in-law, scolded her a few times, and she closed the door directly. Sister-in-law, Aru, please persuade her. I'm afraid she has been deceived!"

Shen Ru thought of the man she had bumped into twice. Is Shen Ping really having sex with a man outside?
"Aru, do you think this is happening?"

Shen's mother looked at Shen Ru in embarrassment, her own mother couldn't take care of her, how could she, an aunt, take care of her?
