With the arrival of the Huiji County soldiers, the situation has just calmed down in Yuhangzhou City. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Shen Chong's style of doing things is much more radical than his son, after coming to Yuhang to understand the situation a little, he immediately led the crowd to block the boat market, in the name of suppressing bandits and recovering stolen goods, strictly investigating the passing boats, in fact, it is to detain all the personnel and goods of the people who intended to use the strong in the boat market.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Huiji County soldiers is just like that, compared to the tribes of the wealthy clans, they are slightly inferior, but they can't stand the large number of people, and they use a grandiose excuse, even if the seized families are unwilling, they really have nothing to do. You can only put your posture lower and ask to be spared.

In the manor hall, Shen Chong smiled and looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him: "Farewell to the new year, I didn't expect to see Taoism here today, it was really unexpected for me." The old friends are reunited, and today they will have to drink with Daohe all night to say goodbye. ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly after hearing this, and said with emotion: "The earthly world is turbulent, and the scenery is different, which makes the gentleman's demeanor better than in the past, and caress the dust and dirt that has long been wasted." I came to worship today, I really want to invite ......"

Before this person finished speaking, Shen Chong had already raised his hand to stop him: "I have a deep friendship with the Tao and the old, why bother to ask." This time, I will stay for a while because of the affairs of the county, and no matter what problems Daohe has, I should try my best to help. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression became even more sad: "This time the feelings are for the affairs of Yuhangzhou City." The gentleman also knows that because of the evil deeds of the old times, it is difficult to continue the family business in the township, but the goods industry is held to alleviate the hardship......"

The middle-aged man's name is Zhou Fu, a native of Lujiang, who was also a general of Wang Dun's army earlier, and after Wang Dun's defeat, he absconded and hid among the barbarians, and now although he has been pardoned, he is still imprisoned and cannot be an official.

When Shen Chong heard this, his expression sank: "If it is other affairs, with my old friendship with the Tao, why do I need to come in person, and I will do what I say." But this matter made me a little embarrassed, and the mountain barbarians repeatedly committed crimes in the county, and many stolen goods were resold from there. Since I have taken on this responsibility, I have no reason to sit idly by, and this time I will strictly inspect the passing boats, which is also a matter of national importance. ”

Seeing that Shen Chong had a strong affection on his lips, but he unceremoniously set up an official tone when he said it, Zhou Fu felt angry, but he really didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction. Although they were conspiring against the same party earlier, but now the other party has reached the position of Fang Town, guarding the fertile land of Wuzhong, and he is only a white body, and his encounters are very different, which makes people feel emotional, but also have to recognize this fact.

After a little silence, Zhou Fucai spoke again: "So that you should know that Fu has always had a temperament, and there is no possibility of colluding with the barbarians!" Moreover, there is no shortage of Jingzhou military goods in my family, and if it is delayed here for too long, the involvement will be great. ”

If this is the case, Dao He has no need to worry. I wrote a letter by myself, and you can send it to Jingzhou later, both of them are responsible for state affairs, and they are on either side, Tao Gong should be able to be considerate and will not blame Daohe. ”

Hearing that he was lifted out of Jingzhou to pressure himself this week, Shen Chong was stunned in his heart, and he even prevaricated. Jingzhou divides the weight of Shaanxi and has a good Jiankang in the town, but it is helpless to take him.

When Zhou Fu heard this, he knew that it would be difficult to fulfill his wish this time, and after a few polite words, he could only regret it.

Looking at the back of Zhou Fu leaving, Shen Chong's expression suddenly sank, and he said to Shen Zhezi who was walking into the hall: "I don't miss the old love of this family, if Xiang Nian hadn't been saved by me in time, Qian Shiyi would have almost died at the hands of his family." It's ridiculous to be trapped here today, and to still hope that I can let go of his family with my old feelings! ”

Shen Zhezi smiled when he heard this, and after his father saw the sugar decolorization process and tasted it once, he agreed with his plan and fully cooperated to suppress the Lin family, and the means were even more intense than Shen Zhezi. If there is no father here, Shen Zhezi really can't control the field of Zhoushi by himself.

Like the Lujiang Zhou family just now, although the current position is slightly inferior, it is also a wealthy family of the Martial Sect. Although Zhou Fu's posture in front of his father was very low, before his father came to Yuhang, he was very domineering, and even led his troops to wander outside his manor several times, trying to force him to release the Lin family.

The Zhou family also has the confidence to do this, and in the past ten years, their family is far from being comparable to the Shen family at that time. This Zhou Fu's father Zhou Yu was originally a Liangzhou assassin, and Tao Kan is also an in-law, if he didn't die early, his achievement position may not be inferior to the current Tao Kan.

In addition to this Zhou family, there are still many wealthy families in Jingchu who have dealings with the Lin family, and the counterattack is not small. But since Dad is here, it is also difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake.

Now that his father is already here, there is no need for Shen Zhezi to stay here, and he explained to his father about the tax package in Zhoushi, and Shen Zhezi left Yuhang with his attaché. Although he has not yet come out, he is busier than his father, and after going to Huiji, he will go north to Jingkou, and he really doesn't have much leisure time.

Shining is located in Huiji Shangyu Wangxia, southwest of Shanyin, the territory of the mountains and rivers are round, fertile soil is contiguous. The superiority of natural resources ranks among the best in the counties under the jurisdiction of Huiji, and it is also the first choice for overseas Chinese to move south to settle down in Huijiweitian in the future.

During the Yonghe period, celebrities such as Wang Xizhi, Xie An, Sun Sui and even Xie Lingyun later had the experience of living in seclusion here for a long time. Xie Lingyun's landscape poems are mostly related to this place, and he writes about the beauty of the landscape in this township.

The boat is in the Cao'e River, Shen Zhezi and the princess sit on the deck opposite each other, the small stove on the case is fragrant and charcoal-smoking, the small clay pot is steaming, the water chestnut is crisp and tender, and the porridge is glutinous and sweet. Seeing that Shen Zhezi was lowering her head and peeling water chestnuts, the princess quickly took a full spoonful of white sugar and sprinkled it into the crockpot, then sat up and pretended to be fine.

Shen Zhezi didn't say anything about this scene in his eyes, this girl is simply obsessed with sweet tastes, and when she has tooth decay in the future, she should know that she can't just be happy for a while.

Away from the noisy boat city, rafting between the quiet and peaceful mountains and rivers, the breeze comes slowly, washing people's distracting thoughts. Even Shen Zhezi, a person who has no elegance, feels a little carried away in the peaceful summer scenery of this picture scroll, and it is no wonder that those romantic celebrities are drunk in this hometown.

"Shen Zhezi, do you know why this Cao Ejiang is named?"

Seeing that there was still some time before the water porridge could be eaten, the princess said with a smile.

Shen Zhezi was stunned when he heard this, he knew a lot of intrigues and intrigues, and he also knew many important things about the country, but when it came to the origin of a river, he really didn't know very well.

"Cao E, the filial daughter of the Later Han Dynasty, drowned her father during the Dragon Boat Festival and found it difficult to find the corpse, crying along the river for seven days, and then also threw herself into the river and died."

The princess told the allusion in a serious way and sighed: "Such a filial woman is really a model worthy of praise." ”

When Shen Zhezi saw the princess talking about this, she seemed to be full of reverence for that Cao E, and her heart was sweating: "The deceased is gone, and the living look like a sacrifice and remembrance, this is human morality." What is the reason for death to be harmed? ”

The princess said seriously: "That Cao E is sad, because her father died unexpectedly, there are no bones, she can't collect the bones for her ancestors, and she has no shame to live, this is the real filial piety!" If one day, I ...... Bah! What do you do with these, is the porridge ready? ”

Seeing that the little girl was no longer entangled in this, and lowered her head to serve porridge, Shen Zhezi's mood was a little complicated. Words are not intentional, but the world is too impermanent.

The boat went further on, and it arrived at Qianao, which is described in great detail in Xie Lingyun's "Mountain Dwelling Fu". In the seven counties here, there are two leeks, four Ming, five Ao, in that era, these five mysteries belong to five families, all of which are occupied by the celebrities of the Gaomen at that time. But now, these five Olympics are all Shen family industries.

Although the natural conditions of Shining County are superior and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is still sparsely populated and not enough to be cultivated. At the beginning of the year, the land held by the Shen family Dongzong in Wukang was greatly reduced, and a large number of shade households were transferred to operate various industries in Wuxing Daidu, and almost all of the rest were arranged here.

If it is said that running a farm property in Wukang is still a clever plunder accumulated for several generations, then in Shining, there is no need to scruple even a little face. The Shen family occupies more than 10,000 hectares of land here, from Shangyu down to Yan County, and the slopes of the mountains, rivers and canals between them have all been returned to the Shen family.

The reason why he dared to occupy such a large-scale encirclement, in addition to borrowing the convenience of Shen Chong's position, was also because there were not many residents here, except for a small amount of reclaimed land, most of the remaining wilderness was vigorous grass and trees, and there was almost no registered land. It is conceivable that it will not take a few years to reclaim this place.

It is precisely because the input and output are not proportional that it is not a short-term achievement to make a profit, and for the Huiji families who are not worried about the abundance of farmland at all, there is really no need to invest too much in reclamation, so they let the land be barren.

With such a huge area, even if the Shen family has enough financial resources, the manpower is not enough to reclaim it in one wave. It is necessary to know that in later generations, the Xie family of Chen County operated for several generations, and when Xie Lingyun arrived, he still had to frequently cut down trees and dig lakes to make fields, which was called a thief, and almost died because of this.

Therefore, from the boat, there was still a lush wilderness on both sides of the river, and after walking for more than half an hour, I gradually saw traces of human activity.

The boat slowly docked on a simple dock, and then Shen Zhezi saw the third uncle Shen Hong and a group of villagers waiting on the dock early, and hurriedly took the princess to get off the boat to meet the third uncle.

Probably living in this barren place for a long time, seeing Shen Zhezi and them coming, Shen Hong was extremely enthusiastic, and forgot to reprimand Shen Zhezi for delaying his studies, but complained with a smile: "Zhezi, you have to come to inspect the family business, why do you need the princess to come to this barren place where there is no such excitement." ”

"My uncle put aside his leisure and comfort, threw himself into the great wilderness, and opened up a family business for my family, which made great contributions. Our juniors are clumsy in their work, and it is natural for us to come to ask and meet frequently. ”

Shen Zhezi naturally wouldn't say that it was precisely because he was annoyed by the third uncle at home every day that he kicked him here through his father. Although the reclamation is hard, Shen Hong does not need to go to the ground in person to manage things here, at most it is a little boring, but it will not be too tiring.

Shen Hong smiled quite happily when he heard this, the three brothers of his family, the eldest brother and the second brother all have responsibilities, only he has achieved nothing when he is old, and there is no lack of thoughts in his heart to be affirmed. Although there is a lot of fun here, he is addicted to the feeling of being in charge of thousands of people and having resources in his family to ask for them.

The group got into the ox cart and headed for the manor that had been built. On the way, Shen Hong said with a smile: "When I first came here, I was also at a loss, and there were many affairs, so I didn't know where to start. This time, Tetsuko, I will introduce you to a wise man. Although this sage is a good man, he is different from those who are ordinary and empty in the capital, and he can really be called a genius of the world! Without their help, I wouldn't have been able to create such a situation in this wilderness in such a short period of time! ”
