Some people want to leave, and naturally some people stay.

There are also people working in Shen Ru's rural areas and ranches who want to leave, but they are not going to the capital. They say they are going to join their relatives. Now they are no longer in exile, but they have the honor to see their relatives again.

Some of them did not leave for the time being, but wrote to someone who could seek refuge. If they had a place to go, they would not want to stay in Liangzhou anymore.

Shen Ru didn't try to persuade him to stay. After all, he had a good place to go, so there was no need to stay in Liangzhou, right?
Today's Liangzhou, only they know, is actually much better than before, but for ordinary people or people who work, the wages they will receive tomorrow will be far less than the days in the capital!
It was the day for the division of accounts in the Stone Candle Workshop again, and it had been a month since the regent and his party left Liangzhou.

"Shen Ru, I thought that if we stopped fighting, these stone candles and oil lamps wouldn't be sold so well." Yan Shaoqing was in a good mood. The receipt of a large amount of money and the confirmation of the identity of the salt merchant made him feel really refreshed. So cool!
Shen Ru looked at the banknotes and accounts and was satisfied. "Did you hear anything?"

"The nobles in the capital often use stone candles." Yan Shaoqing said, "Not many people in Liangzhou use this, but from the perspective of the capital, there is indeed gold everywhere!"

"There must be a lot of rich people in the capital, which means that stone candles and oil lamps have become popular in the capital!"

Shen Ru was not too surprised. Stone candles are easier to use than ordinary candles, and oil lamps are better than lanterns. As for Cui Ti, she knew that this thing was hers, but she couldn't stop it from flowing into the capital. Well, maybe she wanted to get married. Now that I'm dead, I can't reach back to my parents' house anymore!
"Shen Ru, increase production and give me all the existing inventory, and I will make your things bloom everywhere." Yan Shaoqing is really a person who is in high spirits during happy events, and his tone of voice is also heroic.

Xiao Wujin happened to come over, and Shen Ru looked at the accounts with Xiao Wujin.

"Xiao Lang, look, we have made money again."

Xiao Wujin flipped through it casually and said to Shen Ru with a smile: "Our Aru is really awesome."

"Sour." Yan Shaoqing deliberately said with disdain, "Xiao Wujin, you have some potential. If Shen Ru can make money, you have to keep up."

"I, the official of the imperial court, live on the emperor's salary!" Xiao Wujin said calmly, "I am lucky to have A Ru as my good wife."

"That's enough, Xiao Wujin, you are really..." Yan Shaoqing looked at Xiao Wujin with disgust and envy! "By the way, there are many officials vacant in Suzhou, probably waiting for the imperial court to send people over. Ganzhou and Shazhou are also guarded by officers and soldiers. Except for Liangzhou, the other three states will be subject to changes. It's very big. My eldest sister has established a firm foothold in Suzhou, um, she opened a bustling brothel."

"Then should I congratulate her?" Shen Ru said coolly, she even had a fight with me on the way to Suzhou, did you know? "Shen Ru asked.

Yan Shaoqing nodded, "You weren't hurt. My eldest sister didn't pursue it, so I won't care about it."

"Then do you think your eldest sister will give up? I think she is holding back her ultimate move." Shen Ru said with confidence.

"Isn't it true that your love is as strong as gold? What can destroy the relationship between you two?" Yan Shaoqing joked, "Isn't it true that you are covered by water and earth?"

"It's annoying again and again." Shen Ru said, "I hope your eldest sister can be more open-minded."

Yan Shaoqing was not sure about this matter, so when his subordinates came to report it, the eldest sister who went to Suzhou was hanging around Fengyue's place, and she seemed to be like a fish in water.This puzzled him. When he was at home, the eldest sister looked down upon the second sister's fun ways.

"I'm going to work first, Shen Ru. Remember, these stone candles and oil lamps will make the workshop more productive." Yan Shaoqing had a lot of things to do, so he said the same thing and said goodbye.

Shen Ru gave [-]% of the workshop's income to Xiao Wujin.

"Aru, you can just leave these things alone from now on." Xiao Wujin said, "What's mine belongs to you, and Liangzhou doesn't need me to think of ways to fill it up in the future."

"That's great!" Shen Ru smiled. Putting money with her is the safest thing. "Are you still busy? If you are not busy, let's go to Heishui." There is always Heishui in the field. Shen Ru arranged for someone to pick it up and take it to the workshop every day.But since production needs to be increased, there will naturally be more black water.

Xiao Wujin and Shen Ru looked at the wellhead.

"Aru, the world still doesn't know how precious this thing is." Xiao Wujin saw the description of black water from those books.Used to make stone candles and oil lamps, which are already the most basic. "This black water can also be used to make ink and can also be used in war. Do you want to push out graphite again?"

Shen Ru's eyes lit up, this... isn't bad! "Xiao Lang, there is a golden house in the book, right?"

"Well, yes, I will copy that volume to you after I return home." Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru and said with a smile, "I know all this only because of Aru!"

Now that they are here, Shen Ru and Xiao Wujin take a look up the mountain.

"It's a pity that the top of the mountain is empty, and there is probably a silver mine below." Shen Ru looked around, "How about building a workshop in the mountain, and after the black water comes out, it will be processed in the mountain first. ."

"In this way, we will not only avoid the pain of transportation, but also give the people in the village an extra livelihood..." Shen Ru thought about it and looked at Xiao Wujin like stars.

"This mountain is not high, so it's okay, but roads need to be built. In addition, building houses will cost a lot of money." Xiao Wujin said, "In my opinion, it would be better to build a wider road out of the village. Convenient for horse-drawn carriages to enter and exit.”

Whether to build a workshop on the mountain or build a road at the foot of the mountain, Shen Rude thought about it.

"Xiao Lang, I think you prefer building roads in the village, right?" Shen Ru looked at Xiao Wujin with a smile and asked.

"Well, my husband does think so."

Xiao Wujin was also calm, "When people in the village go out, they always take the muddy trails, which are very inconvenient in rainy and snowy weather. In Liangzhou, there shouldn't be too many of these roads, and the government won't care."

"If you want to wait for the villagers to build the road, then you have to find a good person." Xiao Wujin said calmly, "Aru, whoever pays to build the road belongs to him."

Shen Ru blinked. In addition to the official roads belonging to the imperial court, the roads in this village are really owned by whoever builds them. Therefore, in some places, there is still money to buy roads.

"Why do I need this road? But it can make it easier to transport the black water." Shen Ru smiled: "Then let's build the road. Come on, let's go down the mountain and talk to the village chief."

Xiao Wujin also smiled, held Shen Ru's hand and said, "Aru, you are really a kind-hearted person."

"Stop putting money on my face. Building roads is just a good deed. Hey, just think of it as me accumulating virtue for myself!"

Shen Ru joked: "Accumulate virtue in this life and enjoy blessings in the next life."

"Aru, will I be there in your next life?"

"You can imagine it..." (End of Chapter)
