1486 Virtuous Counsellor
Entering the house and seeing the interior that had changed greatly compared to his memory, Shen Zhezi gradually came to his senses.
What Princess Liang said about her old age and decrepit appearance is naturally just a joke, and their deep relationship between husband and wife has long been integrated into each other's lives. But having said that, Shen Zhezi really hasn't had the leisure to talk privately with the Niangzi Pavilion for a long time, even if he returned to Luoyang in mid-May, he has been busy planning the abdication of Emperor Jin, and he really doesn't have the energy and time to enjoy any warm time.
Even if he suddenly became idle in the past few days, Shen Zhezi seemed to have a disordered schedule, but more time he just wanted to be alone to recuperate, and he didn't bother to ask about anything.
Because it was not until I came to the Niangzi House today that I found that the room was very plainly furnished, and it was no longer the same as before, so it can be said that there was no more decoration except for the basic necessities, especially some non-practical decorations, and I could not find a single one.
Seeing this, and thinking of the previous demolition of the courtyard decorations and the plain dress style of the lady in front of him, Shen Zhezi still didn't understand that this lady had begun to adapt to the change of roles.
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing, and took this lady into his arms as affectionately as in the old days. Princess Liang also snuggled into her husband's arms as used to in the old years, but after a while, her body suddenly became stiff, her eyes were slightly slanted, and everyone in the room was interested, and she withdrew from the room without squinting, and pulled up the door by the way.
Sensing that the husband looked at her with a slight teasing look, Princess Liang's pretty face was already a delicate red, and she buried her head in the husband's arms and murmured: "I am not a virtuous person, I can compare the virtue of the ancient and beautiful, and I can think of it, but it is only some superficial articles, I am afraid that the foolish woman will be unbearable and humiliate the husband......"
"Young companions and old companions, all they want is to have the same heart and mind, and they just look at each other day and night. In the pavilion, my wife and I are just ordinary couples in the world, nothing more than a shallow gathering. Inside the portal, it is still comfortable, and there is no need to be too yourself. My family has enjoyed wealth for a long time, and it is also the legacy of my ancestors, not a sudden deed, and it is really not a sin. ”
Shen Zhezi has never been very keen on daily enjoyment, and because of this, he didn't pay too much attention to this simple world style orientation.
Princess Liang had a different opinion on this, she left her husband's arms and said: "If there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom." Especially women and the like, they only live in the door, and they are good at observing the length of the left and right, and they take pleasure in this competition. Although my family is only ordinary, how many families in the world can catch up with this ordinary? Men are in charge of each other, and it may be difficult to judge family affairs in detail, but after that, they have to judge their merits, who is happy to see their wives and children inferior in clothing? In addition to ambition, only this miscellaneous thing is the most disturbing. Up and down, the husband can't be harsh on the life of the person who uses food and clothing, only the concubine is self-policed, and this simple demeanor is ......"
"Don't think that the concubine is a dangerous person, just in the past few days, the salary in the house has been more than before. Do you know why? ”
Seeing this lady's face, Shen Zhezi was stunned for a moment, but how could he have the energy to ask about such miscellaneous matters in the house, so he just shook his head.
"The husband has been lying down casually recently, and his meals are uncertain. However, the supply in the house is indispensable, and meals are often prepared from morning to night before they can be used at any time, and the stove salary will inevitably be consumed. The door of the husband's family is a pillar, and the well-being of the whole family is admired, and the waiter does not dare to slack off. Occasionally, it is a regular practice. If you don't eat, you will eat and drink, and if you can't sleep, you will have a lot of oil and wax. At present, it is only within the portal, and in the future, it will be extended to the United States, so it will no longer be a family's gain and loss......"
When Shen Zhezi heard this, the casual smile on his face gradually converged. He was not unaware of what his wife said, and he was not awake in his heart. But the truth is inevitably empty, and it is only when his wife uses daily trivial things to lead him out that he feels more profound.
Shen Zhezi really didn't expect that just because of his irregular work and rest in the past few days, the daily consumption at home would be increased by multiples.
It's not that he doesn't know that with his current prestige and the huge response of the world, the so-called anger of the Son of Heaven and millions of corpses, this phenomenon of personal mind being infinitely amplified, and one person's desire becoming the desire of the world, is the charm of power.
But even if he has such an awareness, he usually only pays more attention to the big picture, and the topic that his wife talked about today has greatly broadened his attention level.
The words of his own lady made Shen Zhezi suddenly think of an anecdote about the emperor in later generations. That is, Song Renzong, who was praised as not knowing everything except being an official, handled official duties until night, wanted to drink a bowl of mutton hot soup but endured it, because he was worried that the idea of accident would make people mistaken, and kill sheep every night, which would cost a lot over time.
Serving one person in the world is just a gossip that makes people feel like they are swaying, but the various phenomena caused by the implementation in practice are inevitably shocking.
Song Shi has always been known for his wealth, even if he kills sheep every day, what is a great expense? And the reason why Song Renzong is highly regarded is that this restraint of selfish desires is really worthy of the name.
In the same way, with the wealth of the Shen family, what Princess Liang said is really a bit nitpicking, and these so-called expenses are really nothing. Not only did Shen Zhezi not pay much attention to it before, but the Shen family probably didn't think it was a big deal.
But ignoring this as a matter of course often leads to ironic results. For example, Emperor Jin Hui's famous saying why not eat minced meat, for others, it may just be really simple curiosity, but it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel even more sad.
As for the founder of the Chinese Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Jin, at the beginning of his reign, he was also quite a Ming monarch, burning Qiu to show frugality, even if it was just a show, it was also quite positive, the power and the rich and powerful, despite the help of the emperor, Wang Kai was still defeated by Shi Chong, it can be seen that Emperor Wu of Jin at that time was still not lacking in self-control. It's a pity that it can't start from the beginning, and the most well-known person in later generations is only a sheep cart to look forward to.
There is no need to hammer the drum, and today's words from his own lady still made Shen Zhezi introspect. He wants to complete the switch of identity from the outside in, and to take this last step, it is not enough to just pay attention to the external changes, and the requirements for his own self should also reach a new height.
As Princess Liang said, people's pursuit of a better life can be said to be an instinct, not to mention those women who have nothing to do and only care about the shortcomings of their parents, even those heroes who can serve the country loyally and work hard in the old years, and it is also the right thing to enjoy life after the great merit.
But people's hearts don't know the end, and the desire is the most difficult to fill, Shen Zhezi doesn't want to be a cold and thin person who is not the same as wealth. Even if it is just to set a good example for these people, it is necessary to make a gesture of self-denial and frugality. And the daily life that he has always been accustomed to and even can boast of not caring about at all is indeed a lifelong state that is unattainable for many people.
"The good wife police me, it's really more than spring thunder, deafening!"
After pondering for a long time, Shen Zhezi pulled up his mother's wrist again, and was not ashamed to admit that he really ignored this aspect of the problem.
If the group of heroes under his command is in a hurry to realize their achievements in a short period of time so as to grab goods that can be squandered, this means that Xinliang will be an internally unstable regime from the beginning. After all kinds of things in the world, although Shen Zhezi is not completely disappointed in human nature, he also understands that human nature must not be tried to test. It is really a problem that needs to be faced.
Being praised by her husband like this, Princess Liang also showed a little embarrassed but relieved smile on her face, but she quickly changed her face and continued: "The concubine has a hundred thoughts, and she can get one or two. There is one more thing to advise the husband today, and that is the boy Aliu. I know that my husband is deeply affectionate, or I feel that my brother owes a little, or I take care of my concubine, and I am quite indulgent to him. ”
"There are many people in the world who can rely on human favor to spend this life, but I don't want Aliu to be like this. Now he should also be self-reliant, not looking forward to the front and taking care of the back, the favor is getting thinner, and the heirs are increasing. This time, this time, the husband helped him get out of the barrier, not to be burdened by the old things, the prosperous era will begin, it is the time for a man to set up a good thing, if he only wants to beg for love, there is no hope of success......"
Shen Zhezi laughed when he heard this: "When the lady said this, her intentions are good, but she also underestimated Shigen. I have been in Luozhong and Hebei for a long time, and I have rarely seen him in recent years, but I don't disturb him, and I can't talk about shelter. He may not be good at world affairs, but he is skillful in food and endowment, and he has been secretly elegant in the north and south worlds. Even if there is no seal, it is enough to maintain health and inheritance. ”
"It's exactly this thing that the husband is tired of, and the family is trivial, but the concubine doesn't dare to slack off. He can make a living by his skills, which can be regarded as good. But how can there be any simple personnel? This Li & Fung is amazing, this kid doesn't know the taboo of human feelings, and his private wealth is frankly revealed, so it is inevitable that people will be suspicious......"
When Shen Zhezi heard this, he vaguely understood the meaning of his own lady, this lady's intentions became deeper, not only hoping that his brother could get a plan for a long life, but also worried that he would be mistaken for being spoiled too much, which would cause criticism.
But then again, Shen Zhezi also has to admire his brother-in-law's ability to collect money. It is said that when he moved back to Langya's homeland from Jiankang, the boats and boats were full of floating wealth, and it took nearly a month to transport them all to Beijing.
Shen Zhezi wants to say a fair thing, although some of these goods are gifted, but most of them are earned by his brother-in-law over the years, which shows that the sugar industry is very profitable, and this kid is almost a monopoly business, and some high-end products are only produced by him.
In addition, the people's livelihood has gradually recovered for a long time in various parts of Henan, and there is a higher demand for food, so that the Yugufang founded by this kid once became a big business square second only to Tianzhong Shendu Fang. To be honest, even Shen Zhezi was a little jealous of this transaction, and not long ago, he even proposed to raise sugar to the monopoly of salt and iron, and control this industry more strictly.
Of course, strong technology does not mean high means. Although Xingtai has previously given certain legal support to businessmen in the "Business Contract Law", doing business, especially large-scale business across regions, is still a very complicated thing, and it is not something that an otaku can play. The reason why Yugufang can sell goods to the north and south and collect huge profits is that the channel support given by Dingcang is very important.
From this aspect, Shen Zhezi has nothing to say to this brother-in-law, at least he is exempted from the channel fee of Dingcang, otherwise at least more than half of the profits will be extracted, which is also a massive amount of assets. Of course, this brother-in-law didn't have anything to say to him, at least he didn't embarrass him at the end of the day.
Her own lady took the initiative to bring up this topic, which also made Shen Zhezi a little embarrassed.
Although it is said that the abdication of Emperor Jin has become a fact, it is difficult for Sima Yan to be completely exempt from the involvement of old things, especially because he underestimates the dangers of the world, does not know the importance of wealth and does not show his wealth, and he does not have too many means of self-protection in addition to the care of his own brother-in-law, and it is impossible not to attract jealousy. If you really want to be targeted, there are situations where Shen Zhezi is not easy to shelter at will.
"I know that it is not appropriate to ask more about foreign affairs, but when it comes to my own relatives, it is inevitable that it will be abnormal. I asked Ah Weng earlier, and Ah Weng taught me that although the waterways south of Yuhang are staggered, it is inevitable that they will be sleepy. The construction of water conservancy has many implications, and it cannot be understood in depth if it is not a cabinet. But if it is only paved with a gallop road and Yu Jin'an, it can also be a big profit. If wealth is only hoarding, it is only a dead thing, it is better to promote this matter of people's interests, and it can also benefit others and yourself. ”
Hearing his own lady say this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but cry and laugh. The so-called sinister human heart is exactly like this, the little fat man doesn't know the danger, and he is really remembered. You don't have to think about it, Shen Zhezi also knows that this matter must be the father's pluck, otherwise his own lady would not have such a mature idea.
Xingtai will strengthen the development of the south, and there will also be a planned relocation of a group of Hebei people to the south, which will naturally require more convenient transportation. Compared with the many intersections of waterways, the dredging period is also long, and the construction of the tunnel is more effective.
However, the cost of building the Chi Road is also amazing, at least in the Luoyang Center in recent years, it is difficult to launch such a large project, there are many big things, and there needs to be urgency and delay. Previously, Shen Chong put forward an idea, which was raised by Sanwu Township's crowdfunding, and the Luoyang Center gave back with long-term profits.
But this idea is still a bit too idealistic, after all, the Sanwu villagers have supported a lot of the Northern Expedition before, and the feedback problem involves too much, it is difficult to come up with a mature plan, and the hidden dangers are not small.
Unexpectedly, the plan failed, and Dad turned his mind to Sima Yan, who abdicated.
I have to say that this is indeed a good idea, although the construction of the road is massive, and the southeast is different from Jiangbei and Huainan already has a certain foundation, and now there are many places are undeveloped wilderness, and the construction cost and difficulty are several times that of Shen Chong's previous construction of the gallop road connecting the river and Heluo.
But it can't stand that Yugufang is an industry that can lay golden eggs, and Sima Yan himself has an amazing amount of money, and he can get a batch of goods for the initial fortifications. As long as a situation can be opened, the follow-up will be much simpler, and there is no need for the little fat man to bear the cost completely.
Princess Liang saw that her husband was silent, so she continued: "The husband only needs to nod and agree, and the rest will be handled by the concubine." I don't hope to be able to invite my brother to be favored by this, I just hope that I can linger for a long time, so that Aliu can accumulate blessings in the world instead of accumulating goods in the mansion, and be praised by others instead of being ridiculed. ”
At this point, what else can Shen Zhezi say. If this matter can be done, he will be able to deal with things related to his brother-in-law more calmly in the future. At the same time, I can't help but feel that the lady is still raised by herself, which can save him from the embarrassment of righteousness. This may have a bit of a meaning of spending money to buy peace, but the brother-in-law can definitely get a lot more in return than simply hoarding a huge amount of money.
Skipping this matter and not mentioning it, Shen Zhezi felt and said: "On the occasion of the New Year, those who are in charge of all sides will return to Luo. Ah Xiu Xiao'er also has a bit of a respectable posture, and the lady remembers to gather with a few more family members. ”
