When Shen Zhezi returned to the Great General's Mansion, it was already completely dark.

At this time, there was a small assembly in the vestibule that had not dispersed, and the convener of the assembly was a few young children of the Shen family.

Knowing that the general had returned to the house, a group of young men were busy welcoming him out and listed in the Daozuo ceremony. Shen Jiu and the other little brothers hoped that Brother Ah could sit down for a while, but Shen Zhezi and this group of half-grown children really had nothing to talk about, so they waved their hands and signaled them to take care of themselves, and went straight to the atrium.

Daddy Shen Chong returned to Jiangdong as early as the beginning of spring, although the center of Taiwan has been transferred to Luoyang, but Jiangdong always needs enough people to sit in charge. Although Shen Chong no longer holds a specific position now, he can avoid a lot of unnecessary disturbances if he has someone sitting in Jiangdong.

However, there are also many people from the Shen clan who remain in Heluo at present, and a considerable number of them have already held various civil and military ministries, and the remaining teenagers such as Shen Jiu are also studying and knowledgeable.

In this regard, Shen Zhezi is also quite active in providing various opportunities and conditions for the clansmen. The Shen family has only been a local tyrant living in Wu Township for a long time, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of mind, vision, knowledge, and talent. Shen Zhezi also didn't want to see the clansmen still living in the countryside, blindly relying on the family situation to drill the door for personal gain.

In this regard, Daddy Shen Chong maintained a high degree of consistency with Shen Zhezi, and in order to urge the clansmen to go north to hone their training, various township assets in Jiangdong reduced their holdings significantly. Today, the Shen family's large-scale industries in Jiangdong are located in several ancestral industries in their hometown of Wukang County, and these ancestral industries are only preserved to worship the elderly and poor people in the ancestral and ethnic groups, and they do not take the lead in making profits.

Of course, even if this is the case, the children of the Shen family do not have to worry about their livelihood at all. Shen Zhezi did not blindly force his family members to be honest and live in poverty, even in Jiangdong, it was just a change of family business management method, although the actual industries such as acres and people were let go, but industries such as Shangmeng and Zhoushi had a wide influence and were not limited to one time and one place, and the Shen family still firmly occupied a dominant position.

In addition, in the Heluo area, Shen Zhezi also planned a considerable amount of family property. After all, no matter how high his power position is, it is impossible for him to enter and exit the public treasury when it comes to personal contacts such as supporting a family or gifts. For example, the mountain in the north of Luoyang, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the forests are magnificent, Shen Zhezi signaled to keep it, and did not carry out large-scale reclamation, leaving it for the future to share the meritorious service.

In addition to Shen Zhezi's own private management, his family also has a lady with a lot of makeup. Because the Shen family reduced their holdings of Jiangdong industries a lot, Princess Xingnan also entrusted her family to dispose of most of her dowry industries, collect a large amount of floating wealth to carry north, and purchase a large amount of mountain and forest land around Luoyang, especially near Yique.

Even if these areas are distributed to ordinary small people, the difficulty of reclamation is also very large, and it is not conducive to the people to quickly gain a foothold to make a living, and if they are idle for a long time, not to mention the waste of resources, they are more likely to be privately occupied by some power gates.

Rather than this, it is better for the official to take the initiative to operate and sell, and collect funds to fill the warehouse. Of course, Shen Zhezi also admitted that although there were no loopholes in the procedure for Princess Xingnan's purchase of those fields, there was actually always some favoritism.

However, since the beginning of Jiangdong in the old years, where the Shen family bought a house has become a benchmark, and even the surrounding prices have risen to a certain extent, which can be regarded as a slight compensation.

Another gain is that Shen Zhezi can also get a glimpse of the shortcomings and speculations of the subordinate Cao in handling these affairs through these details of the transaction, and then repair and rectify them through the system. So, this is also a kind of fishing enforcement.

Princess Xingnan has not been in the house for the past few days, and accompanied her mother-in-law Wei, who is still in Luoyang, to Yique to inspect the property. As the family's situation became more and more high, Wei felt that the etiquette had paid off for so many years, and the heart of the Tao became more and more intense. In order to return to the report, he planned to build a grand avenue in Yique, and traveled for a few days to choose an address.

The logic of these religious people's thinking cannot be explained by common sense. Seeing that the old lady was so enthusiastic, Shen Zhezi couldn't bear to tell her mother that now all the teachers in the Jiangdong Heavenly Master Dao who looked like they were high-minded, and none of them were just echoes under her son's seat.

However, Shen Zhezi did not object to his mother's idea. It is undeniable that religion has a strong appeal to the people, and in recent years, many people from Nantou, Hebei Province, there is no shortage of people who believe in Buddhism. Such an ideological highland, even if Shen Zhezi does not occupy it, there will always be others who will make waves.

Rather than this, it is better to support the Heavenly Master Dao, which has long been tamed and organized, and make it prosperous in the heavens. Of course, in this regard, it is absolutely impossible for Xingtai to come forward, nor will it give money, food, and people, and it will not prohibit the Heavenly Master from preaching in the heavens, which is already a kind of favor.

As for the old lady's desire to build a Taoist temple, in Shen Zhezi's opinion, it is still too small. In the future, Shen Zhezi planned to set aside the location of the Longmen Grottoes for those Heavenly Masters and Daoists to build.

After the Heavenly Master Tao flourished, it could also turn around and oppress Buddhism, urging them to quickly develop and iterate on the teachings that were still crude and primitive at present, so that they could meet the needs of the rule and no longer serve as a breeding ground for chaos.

In the final analysis, Shen Zhezi's attitude towards religion is to tolerate its existence, but it must be used as an auxiliary tool of rule, not to dominate the people, not to overflow the rules, and especially not to become a place outside the law. Once such signs appear, we must spare no effort to suppress them, take away their teachings, and destroy their bodies.

The old lady and the princess were not at home, and poor Axiu Xiao'er was also slacking off her schoolwork because the princess was worried that she would be pampered by her father if she stayed at home, and she also took them to Luonan to do another job, and the house was inevitably a little deserted.

After Shen Zhezi returned home, he washed and changed his clothes for a while, and then went directly to the concubine's courtyard. This lady gave birth in the spring and added a little daughter to Shen Zhezi, so that he could have both children and daughters. Shen Zhezi is also very happy about this, no matter how busy he is every day recently, he always finds time to go home to take a look.

Shen Zhezi walked widely, and a group of people in the courtyard were already waiting in front of the door.

Gua'er is the delicate and stunning beauty of Wuxiang, and now she is a woman and a mother, and under the shadow of the light and shadow of a little emerald shirt and dress, it is even more beautiful like a nightshade. The only thing is that the personality has not changed much with the change of identity, seeing the Lang master coming, even the admiration in the beautiful eyes did not dare to reveal too much, and after the line was approached, the slender hand had subconsciously raised the slightly wrinkled robe belt of the Lang master.

"Grandpa, Grandpa......"

Before Shen Zhezi could speak, the figure had already rushed out of a small fat mound and staggered forward, it was Shen Pusheng, who opened his arms and threw himself into his father's arms, and then grabbed his father's neck and talked about the little sister in the room in that jerky childish voice.

"Settle down!"

Ah Ling's lady happened to be sitting in the melon house, and at this time, she raised her hand to give Shen Pusheng a brain breakdown, and she wanted to take her son over, but Shen Zhezi waved his hand and refused.

"The kid is so naughty!"

Shen Zhezi grabbed Shen Pusheng's fat short legs, clamped them under his armpits, and then strode towards the room, slowing down his pace after crossing the threshold: "Has my little lady slept?" ”

"I slept for a while in the afternoon, and I kept laughing after holding the lamp, as if I was waiting for the general to ......"

The nurse in the room stepped forward and smiled, and it was inevitable that she would compliment a few words in her eyes, how cute and lovely the little lady was.

The little doll that has not been completely opened for a few months has not yet been completely opened, more than delicate, and not enough exquisite, but when she heard the praise of the nurse, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but laugh proudly. Parents are inevitably self-effacing and do not differ depending on their status.

He stepped forward to tease a little, touching the fine fluff of the little girl's ears and temples that were as soft as silk satin, and Shen Pusheng also pouted his ass and lay on the other side of the bed, pouting his fat mouth to bite Ah Mei's pink little fist, and then slapped his own father on his buttocks.

"Sleep, sleep."

Shen Zhezi waited until the little lady fell asleep before coming out again, at this time the outer house had already prepared the meal, and the second sister was waiting for the lord to enter the table for dinner.

This is a rare leisure time of the day, Shen Zhezi while eating, while talking with the two ladies about raising children in the curtain. Halfway through the meal, several female relatives of Gua'er's mother's family hurriedly entered to greet the ceremony. Her family was originally a servant of the Shen family, and there was no need to be too formalistic when getting along for several generations.

During the meal, Shen Zhezi also noticed that Ah Ling's mood seemed to be a little low, and after eating, he told Gu'er to rest early, and he took the opportunity to pick up Shen Pusheng, who was already asleep, and went to Ah Ling's house to rest.

When the husband and wife were alone at night, Shen Zhezi mentioned that Ah Ling's mood was not high, and said casually: "I am rare and leisurely all year round, and Pu Sheng, a child, is stubborn and unsatisfactory, although there is no lack of people to accompany him, but he always lacks a little affection." The lady is not happy, it is better to send someone to invite the father-in-law to the sky, and she can also live and greet and serve the cold and warm. ”

Cui Hui has lived in Wuzhong for a long time and has never followed their husband and wife to the north. There are a few people in Shen Zhezi's room, Princess Xingnan, needless to say, even Gua'er is often accompanied by relatives, but this Ah Ling Niangzi's mother's family is already scarce, and it is inevitable that there will be loneliness for a long time.

"The kinship is thin, and it is all fate. The concubine can be beside the lord of the waiter, the princess is kind and tolerant, and there are children who are happy in the court, which is already the most beautiful, and there is really no regret. Grandpa is happy in Wu Township, and he can live in his apartment for more than a year, and he really doesn't have to come north from the old troubles. ”

Ah Ling's mother bent her main arm softly, and covered up some sorrow with a smile. Although this lady is from a famous family, she has suffered a lot of disasters since she was a child, and her nature is lively and active, riding horses and flying pills, and she is heroic, but after she really enters the room, she abides by Anshun women's ways, which makes Shen Zhezi feel quite uncomfortable.

"My family is not an ordinary house, and the lady really doesn't have to blindly suppress her temperament. I still remember the first time I saw her, and the lady's hearty and heroic appearance was amazing. Even if the rest don't talk about it, you must teach the slingshot flying pill's stunt to my family, so that this kid can get a skill, and he won't be ashamed of his lack of talent. ”

Hearing Lang's words about the stubbornness of the old year, Ah Ling's wife couldn't help but be ashamed and responded.

After laughing, Shen Zhezi said again: "I know that the lady is a famous lady, and I have really wronged you in the mansion." But the love is also difficult to stop because of the vulgar, recently I have been thinking about a thing, now the father-in-law has only an orphan girl under his knees, it is really not comprehensive. A few days ago, Wen Hongzu went north, and I also privately told him that in addition to official duties, he might as well contact Qinghe Township a little, if he can visit one or two close clans, he can also attract people to the south to inherit the heirs. But this is a family matter after all, and the lady remembers to ask a little later, does the father-in-law have this intention? ”
