reborn princess

Chapter 542
If they want to have fun for a while, they can use Shen Weilan to get rid of Xuan Chen.

On the contrary, if they want to take a long time to catch big fish, they can use Shen Weilan to lurk into Xuan's house and plot bigger things.

But when she came to visit before, she was shut out, and people refused to see her, but because of this, she, Mrs. Wen Er, and Wen Yong were all suspicious, and instinctively realized that Su Youran and Shen Weilan were the two of them. Maybe it's really the mother and daughter of the Sui family back then, otherwise, why would they reject the Wen family so much?
She inquired, and many people in the city heard that there was a fire in Sui Youran's house, and they all went to visit Sui Youran, and they all met, only she was shut out.

Moreover, according to the reply from the person who sent out, it was said that Sui Youran never went out, and because Shen Weilan's house was on fire, the house was burned down, and the house was being built, and the whole family lived in the other courtyard of Xuan's house. The guards in the other courtyard are extremely strict, trying to sneak in to see Sui Youran's appearance is almost as difficult as going to heaven.

She began to look forward to her son's wedding today, and felt that Su Youran should give herself some face, but she didn't expect that she didn't come!
Mrs. Wen Er was sitting aside, holding a teacup in her hand, drinking tea slowly. Hearing her words, she couldn't help chuckling, "You keep the door so tight every day that you don't let me out. I'm afraid I'm going to trouble that little bitch, how are you doing now? They ignore you."

Mrs. Wensan took a deep breath, "Cousin, that's not what you said. Don't talk about things with courtesy first. She knows how to flatter her. Let's discuss it carefully. If she doesn't know how to flatter her, let's talk about it."

"What else? You put it lightly! Although he is not a big family, he has imitated ten percent of the style of this big family. On weekdays, he doesn't leave the door at all. The door of the house is tight, and there are many guards. You are a master, what can you do to meet her?" Mrs. Wen said sarcastically.

Mrs. Wen San looked a little embarrassed, "I can always find a chance! I don't believe it, she will never go out!"

"Second Madam, don't be angry, if you get angry, you won't be worth it." Aunt Cui persuaded from the side. "According to the servant girl, isn't Miss Jinyu's family building a house? When the house is finished, let's give gifts, and then the servant girl will lure her out."

Mrs. Wen Er stabilized her anger, turned her face and glanced at her, "That's the only way to go! But, in a few days, the river will be frozen, and the water will be impassable and the land will be difficult. Let's say You might be stuck here."

"For the sake of the master's heir, this is something that can't be done, Second Madam, please bear with it."

Because of the horse thieves before, almost all the servants in Shen Weilan's family died. Except for Zhu Laosi, only Sun Baolai's son and daughter survived. So Shen Weilan calculated that after the family built a house, they still had to Buy a few rooms and help with housework.

Otherwise, not to mention anything else, there must be a dedicated person in charge of the diet of this big family.

And the animals in the stables had to be looked after.

She thinks it is better to find an older woman to do such tasks as washing and rinsing. After all, they are in contact with cold water all day long. For example, Big Girl and Dushino are still young girls who deal with cold water all day long. If you don't, you are afraid that if you marry someone in the future, it will be bad for your childbirth.

So, after thinking about it, she sent Zhongyi to the dental shop in the city to buy two houses.

Sui Zhongyi is very familiar with doing this kind of thing, and he quickly bought him back. There are two families in total, one surnamed Wang. The husband and wife are both in their early thirties. Another family named Ji was a widow in her 40s. The man died and she owed a lot of debts. She sold herself so that her son and daughter-in-law could live a good life without dragging them down.

When Shen Weilan saw the people, she left them behind and asked Mrs. Ji to do the washing and cleaning. The man from the family named Wang was named Wang Fuquan and asked him to do some cleaning. The woman's surname was Sun. Let her be in charge of cooking. The youngest daughter of the two of them is Wang Xiaozhen, who is already eight years old and sensible, so Shen Weilan arranged for her to help Aunt Sun in the kitchen.

As for the animals in the stables, they will be handed over to Zhu Laosi to take care of them.

One after another, the crops in the field are ripe.

This year is indeed a year of severe drought. I heard that there are no crops in many places across the country.

However, because Shen Weilan's Zhuangzi installed a waterwheel, it would not be a waste of money, but a reduction in income was inevitable.

According to what Zhuangtou said, it is very good that the grain harvested this year can reach [-]% of previous years.

However, many farmers in the surrounding area have no harvest, but a few large households have also built waterwheels, so the situation will not be too miserable.

Shen Weilan kept [-] catties of newly harvested grain in the warehouse for daily consumption, took out all the grain stored in the previous two years, and sent all the remaining grain to the county government.

She didn't plan to carry out disaster relief by herself. First, there was no manpower, and the few people in her family were simply not enough.

Moreover, she deeply understands a truth, which she learned from Xuan Chen's mother. She has understood this truth since her previous life.

Since ancient times, high meritorious deeds have been a great sin.

Therefore, whether it is an official or a commoner, anyone who is willing to do good must combine his good deeds with the emperor's grace.

Only in this way can there be a long-term prosperity and wealth, otherwise, death is not far away!

Seeing these grains, His Royal Highness was very surprised, "Miss Shen, what do you mean?"

The prince was assassinated and poisoned before, but fortunately Xuan Chen went in time and cured the prince's poison.

After recuperating these days, the prince's body has recovered.

Shen Weilan saluted him, and then said: "My lord, I already know about the disaster situation this year. There are water trucks in my field to irrigate the grain, but most of the common people's fields cannot be irrigated. My ability is limited. There is no way to help them build waterwheels, so I can only do my best to help them survive this winter at a critical time. But you know about my family, I really don’t have the energy and manpower to do this, so I have to Please, my lord. There is not much food, so please don't laugh at me, my lord."

The words she said were false and true, but they showed an attitude, that is, she was willing to give all the credit for disaster relief to the prince.Regardless of whether it was in the past or in this life, she has learned one thing from Xuan Chen's mother, Bailiyao, no matter how capable she is, no matter whether the Wanli city wall was built by her own ability or not, the final credit must be given to her. is royal.

Only in this way can we get long-term wealth and honor.

The emperor pretends to be the real dragon emperor, and they are all pretentious people. No matter who they favored before they ascended the throne, it will be different for them after becoming emperor. They will not allow their officials or common people to have a better reputation among the people, even if That's the truth, and they won't allow it.

That's why she chose to hand over all the food to the prince for disposal.

Of course, one of the more important reasons was that she didn't have the time to take care of these trivial matters. She had to be busy practicing exercises every day and dealing with the chores at home, which made her burnt out.

The prince said seriously: "Miss Shen, what did you say? Don't say that there are more than 20 catties of grain here, even if there are only ten catties and eight catties. If you are willing to take it out, you are also doing your part for the people. Don't worry, I will I will not disappoint your heart, I will definitely arrange these food properly."

As he said that, he suddenly bowed his hands to Shen Weilan and saluted, "Miss Shen, I thank you on behalf of the people!"

Shen Weilan hastily stepped aside, "The little girl dare not be greeted by adults."

The prince smiled and said: "Okay, then I won't talk about these empty etiquettes with you, Brother Chen, please thank Miss Shen for me, she has really helped me a lot."

If the crown prince can't do a good job in disaster relief during his term of office, then when he goes back to the capital in the future, it's one thing whether he has face in front of the emperor. Those courtiers who don't support him will definitely hold on to his braids if they know about it, right? His reputation will have a great impact.

Realizing that the drought will be serious this time, he has already sent someone to count the granary. When Di Yong, the former county magistrate of Liaocheng, took over the official position, the granary was already in a mess. The previous grain was followed by Zhen Xiong in the name of borrowing grain. The previous magistrates borrowed everything.

Fortunately, Di Yong was not a corrupt official, so he resisted the pressure and refused to lend the food collected to Zhen Xiong. This is why Di Yong hurriedly wanted to recruit Shen Luo when he learned that Shen Luo could scare Zhen Xiong.

Although there is a little foundation laid by him when he was in office, there is still not much food in the granary. Faced with the disaster, the prince is struggling with where to get the food for disaster relief. Shen Weilan sent charcoal in the snow at this time. So he was very grateful to Shen Weilan.

Xuan Chen stood beside Shen Weilan, smiling meaningfully, "Your Excellency, please remember that you owe Lan'er a favor."

"It's natural. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will always repay Miss Shen." The prince gave Shen Weilan a meaningful look, and felt that this girl was different from those who were raised in deep boudoirs in the capital.

The official affairs of the government are divided into six departments, which are the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment. Then there are also six departments in the government offices and county offices of various places, namely the workshop, the household room, the ceremony room, and the military room. , official room, criminal room.

On weekdays, each house has its own responsibilities for doing various things, and there is no need for adults to do everything by themselves, otherwise, the officials may be exhausted to death.

The crown prince ordered the matter, the housekeepers and the master who was in charge of money and food rushed over, and all the manpower in the yamen was mobilized.

Every county has a granary, but the granary is not in the yamen. The granary in Liao City is located in the northeast corner of the entire city, and it is divided into two types: above ground and underground.
