Chapter 263: You can’t be involved in everything
There was no curfew in Liangzhou. Shen Ru and Xiao Wujin were walking on the obviously deserted streets of Liangzhou, talking about what happened during this period.

"So, in less than two months, you have made a lot of money again?"

Xiao Wujin was quite surprised, Shen Ru really wasn't idle for a moment!
"The Stone Candle Workshop has just paid back the money. The rest needs to be done slowly." Shen Ru said it very lightly and didn't care too much.

"This time Yan Shaoqing came forward and bought 10 taels of coarse salt. I hope this is the last time!"

Xiao Wujin also said, "I'm afraid all this money went into Wei Xiaozhi's pocket, and the people of Ganzhou did not get any benefits."

Thinking of Wei Xiaozhi's appearance of falling in Qian's eyes, Shen Ru couldn't say anything.

"When we come back this time, we will implement the demolition of the villages along the river. In the area in the city, there are still [-] households that originally lived there, and they have all been resettled in other places. In a few days, we will prepare to demolish that area. It was removed to the ground.”

This matter has really been implemented. Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin, he has really been busy!

"Next, there will be an auction."

"Liangzhou Hucao will allocate [-] silver, and it will depend on who will take over the job."

This is giving her the lowest price!
Shen Ru was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Do you want me to take it all down?"

"Can you eat it?"

Xiao Wujin asked, "Aru, businessmen value profits, but you are the least businessman-like businessman I have ever seen."

"Building a house costs about 20 taels of silver. There are [-] households in the villages along the river, many of which are families with three generations living under one roof. The required house requires a second courtyard..."

Xiao Wujin told the number of all the relocated residents like a treasure trove, which made Shen Ruye extremely surprised.

"Xiao Wujin, do you have enough brains? How can you hold so many things!"

Shen Ru marveled at Xiao Wujin's understanding of these things, but felt unsatisfied in his heart.

"There are so many officials, big and small, in Liangzhou, why do you seem to be busy with everything on your own?"

"He who can do the hard work." Hearing the dissatisfaction in Shen Ru's words, Xiao Wujin chuckled, "How about I put you in my mind more in the future?"

How should Shen Ru answer this?
"You are really...forget it, I want to say you just do what you can!"

Shen Ru sighed: "I can take over this land. Can you give me the 2 taels directly?"

"But I'm not a native of Liangzhou. When the time comes to find someone to build a house, I'm afraid I'll be cheated. It will definitely cost more than 2 taels!"

"I need a reliable partner."

Shen Ru's few words made Xiao Wujin realize that Shen Ru should not be allowed to take on this matter again.

"Aru, then don't get involved. The matter at hand is enough."

"Huh?" Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin and was stunned for a while before saying, "Are you careful that our Shen family is too pushy?"

Xiao Wujin nodded.

"Shizhufang is not conspicuous, and the pasture is ordinary, but I think that with your tavern and your cotton harvest, your Shen family... will definitely become more prominent. Plus the relationship between you and me..."

Shen Ru understood that it was she who proposed the demolition of the resettlement housing, but Xiao Wujin was right, she couldn't just get a little bit of everything.

"Well, I do have some difficulties. You have to know that the Shen family's money has been invested in you, so I don't care about this matter."

As the Shen family makes money, their relationship with Xiao Wujin will gradually become a point of concern to others, Shen Ru said, pretending to be resentful.

"It's coming soon. Yan Shaoqing said that there is a huge demand for fine salt outside the customs."

There are fewer and fewer passers-by on the streets, but there are still some refugees in ragged clothes sleeping on the streets. "Aru, you are right, there are a lot more refugees."

Xiao Wujin said: "Tomorrow I will ask the county government to calculate the current number of refugees in Liangzhou. If these people cannot be resettled, they will become a hidden danger in Liangzhou."

"I'll take you back. You can rest well and do things slowly. Your health is the most important thing."

Shen Ru really felt sorry for Xiao Wujin, how much he had to do for Liangzhou!

After sending Xiao Wujin back to the Governor's Mansion, Shen Ru rode home.

Everyone in the family has already rested, but their own yard is still brightly lit.

"Miss, you are back."

Cui Xi and the other three kept waiting and were relieved to see Shen Ru come back.

"Miss, you have to take us with you in the future. It's really worrying for you to go out alone."

"Something delayed me today. Well, Xiao Wujin is back."

Shen Ru said: "When I came back from the ranch, I happened to meet him when he returned to the city, so... you understand."

"Oh, it turns out we are reunited with Mr. Xiao after a long separation!"

Cui Xi said happily, "Miss, do you think good things are really coming soon? This yard has just been moved here. I'm afraid you will get married again."

"Good morning, he doesn't have money to hire me yet!" Shen Ru said, "By the way, did my mother and aunt gain anything today?"

"We have brought back a mother and daughter. They are capable of doing rough work. Madam wants their prostitution contract."

An Qiao replied: "Miss, there are a lot more people fleeing from outside Liangzhou! The same goes for these two people. They sound more like people from the south. They say they are fleeing with their families, but when they get here, there are only Having abandoned them, I have no choice but to sell myself into slavery.”

"Well, I also encountered them today. In fact, as long as they are willing to work, they can survive."

Shen Ru sighed: "The government will not ignore these refugees."

Just as Shen Ru said, on the second day, official officers patrolled the streets, placed all the refugees who had nowhere to stay together, and then registered their identities one by one.

On Shen Ru's side, he went to the ranch first and brought Chef Zhuang into the city.

"Chef Zhuang, didn't you say that we have all the people? Then call them all over. In three days, our barbecue tavern will open."

"Don't worry, boss, everyone is waiting. Just to open in three days, isn't it a bit hasty?"

Chef Zhuang said confidently, "The other thing is how many ingredients should be prepared on the first day!"

"Before autumn, we only do barbecue business in the evening. Three days before the opening, we will do a trial operation. Just half a sheep. Besides, didn't I give you the menu? Match the dishes according to the above. Well, it doesn't need to be too much. The main thing is to give everyone a taste.”

"I will bring my family and friends to support me then. Chef Zhuang, you have to keep a calm mind. It's not like we can build the reputation of our store right from the beginning."

Chef Zhuang was happy. As a boss, these words were rare.

"Master, if you don't care, of course we don't care either, right!" Chef Zhuang said cheerfully, "I'll call all the guys over today, and then everyone will live in the back?"

"Well, just live in the back."

Shen Ru nodded. In addition to an open courtyard in the backyard, there were also two rows of guest rooms, just for the store clerks.
