"etc-"
Shen Tang saw that the person who was speaking was Kang Shi.
The other four also looked over.
Question: "Does Ji Shou think I am cruel?"
Anyway, Zhao Feng helped a lot in the early days of the business, but she thought of killing someone without saying anything. It didn't sound good. It was normal for Kang Shi to have objections, but Shen Tang never thought that -
Kang Shi was both angry and amused, and reminded Shen Tang: "My Lord, have you forgotten what you are hiding from me?"
Shen Tang was puzzled: "Am I hiding something?"
Kang Shi blurted out, "What happened to Wen Yun?"
Shen Tang: “…”
Chu Yao and the other three: "..."
A total of five pairs of eyes were looking at Kang Shi who asked this not-so-smart question. Their eyes clearly said "You don't even know this yet", as if it was normal for Kang Shi to know. The question was how did Kang Shi know this
He was looked at like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his fur stood on end.
"I don't know anything about this!"
Shen Tang and the other four looked at each other, and asked Chu Yao with his head tilted: "Wu Hui, didn't you say it?"
Chu Yao said calmly: "Yao thought he knew."
Qishan said, "Shan also thought that my cousin knew."
Gu Chi pretended to be surprised and asked, "How could there be someone who doesn't know?"
Gong Shuwu also looked at Kang Shi curiously.
He thought that these literati with a mind and a heart should know everything. To put it another way, if Kang Shi didn't know that Shen Jun had the national seal, why did he help Shen Jun without saying anything? Could it be that he liked the feeling of starting from scratch and playing the role of a monarch
Facing doubts, Kang Shi said: "… "
It's not very lethal but it's extremely humiliating.
Anyway, he had already laid it out, so Shen Tang nodded and admitted very straightforwardly: "Yes, I have the national seal in my hand."
Kang Shi remembered the space between his eyebrows, and clues flashed through his mind until his eyes fell on Gong Shuwu: "Xin State?"
Shen Tang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
There is indeed a national seal that belongs to the State of Xin.
The other piece belongs to her, but she herself doesn't know the origin of this piece. Perhaps she needs to restore all her memories to know the truth, but it's not a bad thing after all.
Kang Shi paused, then asked firmly: "Besides this, is there anything else you can say that I don't know?"
He didn't want to encounter the same situation next time and be laughed at by the group of unscrupulous scholars around him!
Shen Tang thought hard: "There really is one."
Kang Shi looked at her nervously and expectantly.
Shen Tang said casually: "I am a woman."
"Oh, a woman..." What kind of secret is this? A woman is a woman. Kang Shi was about to blurt out, but when he realized what he had heard, his eyes fell on Shen Tang's pretty face, and he blurted out, "How could the lord be a woman?"
He looked at Qi Shan and the others again.
The guys looked at him with a look that said, "You don't even know this." Oh my god, it turned out that he was the only one who didn't know! Before Kang Shi could get his emotions together, he heard Gong Shuwu's doubtful voice: "Wu doesn't know about this either..."
His own nephew Gong Cheng even called the lord "brother-in-law".
How could she be a girl
Everyone: “…”
Gong Shuwu said in a silent voice: "But this is not important."
Kang Shi calmed down.
Gender really doesn't matter.
In this world with supernatural powers, strength is the top of the pyramid that transcends all contempt chains.
People admire the strong and submit to the strong. They may despise women, but they will never despise women who have both literary mind and martial courage!
What's more, the die is cast.
Kang Shi: “…”
It really doesn't look like it!
Looking at Shen Tang's pretty face, I still can't equate her with the women I've come into contact with.
In response to this, Qishan said that his cousin would just get used to it.
He often forgets anyway.
_(:з)∠?)_
The gender of your lord seems difficult to define as "male", "female" or "neither male nor female". If you ignore this point, it won't be a big problem.
Kang Shi: “…”
Shen Schrodinger's Gender Tang: "…"
After the spring ploughing ceremony, common people can always be seen busy working in the fields. Shen Tang also distributed the curved plow that had been improved by the carpenter. Together with the "experienced" oxen "bought" from Tianhai, the early preparations for spring ploughing went very smoothly.
Efficiency has increased by more than two or three times.
Gu Chi soon discovered the problem.
He received the news from his subordinates and was surprised: "The fertility of the wasteland we reclaimed last year is comparable to that of ordinary good farmland?"
Gu Chi was responsible for measuring and registering the fields in Fu Gu and even other areas of He Yin. The approximate fertility and output of each acre of land were also estimated. However, the common people who were allocated the newly reclaimed wasteland discovered through their rich farming experience that the fertility of the fields exceeded their expectations.
This performance, at least, is not something that can be achieved by inferior farmland with relatively poor fertility, and it can barely be considered good farmland.
Gu Chi immediately took people to conduct on-site inspection.
He admitted that he didn't know much about farming, but he knew the basic criteria for distinguishing good fields from bad fields. A field with ten hu of crops per mu is considered good field. The weeds in the field that had not yet been removed were sprouting green spots with their tenacious vitality.
We called in several experienced local farmers, and their conclusions were similar.
The fertility of this acre of land is indeed good. If it is taken good care of and God is kind to it, the yield per acre should be good.
Gu Chi frowned in confusion.
He had a good memory and this acre of land was obviously poor quality land.
Worried that my memory was wrong, I went back to look for the book.
The above records also confirm his guess.
Gu Chi called someone over and ordered, "Go check other places."
The results were extremely surprising.
Not only did the one acre of poor land become good land, but the fertility of other fields also improved to varying degrees, but the improvement was not obvious, so the farmers did not notice it and naturally did not report it. Gu Chi led his men to run around everywhere, and was so busy that he was not seen for three or four days.
"It's not just the area around Fugu, the fields in other places in Heyin have also changed..." Gu Chi happened to run into Chu Yao when he came back from work. It just so happened that Chu Yao was also busy with farmland recently, so the two of them started chatting and exchanging opinions. "What's strange is that with the Heyin boundary monument as the boundary, the fields outside the county remain the same."
"The changes are only in He Yin?" Chu Yao asked.
Gu Chi had some vague guesses in his mind and said, "Yes, Chi also visited several farmers whose farmland is near the boundary markers. The soil inside the boundary markers is obviously better than that outside the boundary markers."
Chu Yao asked: "Does Wangchao suspect that these changes are related to the words of the spring plowing sacrifice that day?"
The two walked side by side towards the government office.
Gu Chi nodded and said, "Yes, there is such a guess. Chi also made a special trip to ask the common people other than Fu Gu, and they all said that there was a light rain at an auspicious time on the day of the sacrifice, but... the common people outside the Heyin boundary monument said that there was no rain and they had no impression of it."
There must be some connection between the two.
Chu Yao carefully pondered the words of that day in his mind.
The way of the princes of my lord is farming...
He said, "Looking at the tide, for the sake of caution, we should order people to secretly spread the word that 'auspicious snow indicates a good harvest'. The more the better."
It is not appropriate to push the lord to the forefront at the moment.
At least we have to wait until Lingde (Lin Feng)’s literary mind is focused!
Lingde's literary way is the best shield.
Gu Chi also agreed with Chu Yao's decision.
As he spoke, the government office was already in sight.
It was not enough for them to make a decision on this matter, they also needed the approval and cooperation of Lord Shen Tang. Shen Tang agreed without hesitation - this is a good thing! It was almost time for lunch, so Shen Tang asked the two to stay for a meal.
Supplies were scarce and people usually had only two meals a day.
Breakfast and dinner.
If you feel hungry during the meal, have some snacks to fill your stomach.
But office workers also have human rights!
Each person gets a large bowl of pork rib noodles plus three soup noodles.
Shen Tang slurped the noodles happily and drank up not a drop of the soup left.
Only when you are full will you have the energy to continue 007!
"Wuhui and Wangchao don't need to go into seclusion?"
During the break, she asked about their recent situation.
Things like literary luck also need to be cultivated and absorbed before they can be used for one's own benefit. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable if it gets blocked in the Danfu and meridians.
Chu Yao said, "That's enough for the night."
Who will do the work when you are in seclusion
Shen Tang opened his mouth to persuade.
Gu Chi is "sick" and Chu Yao is "old".
It is a bit unbearable to exploit them.
Gu Chi's eyes suddenly became subtle after hearing the inner voice, and he looked at Chu Yao's young face thoughtfully...
Shen Tang understood Chu Yao's stubbornness (or his refusal to accept old age?), so he did not insist any more. He just mentioned that Lin Feng had been running to the fields frequently recently, and it seemed that he was about to gather his literary mind.
Chu Yao denied: "Not so soon, at least until the autumn harvest."
"Eh? But I feel that Lingde's literary energy has been accumulated almost enough..." Lin Feng's literary energy surged on the day of the spring ploughing sacrifice, and he was also allocated a not-so-much literary fortune. It should be enough for him to try to condense his literary mind for the first time, but Chu Yao didn't think so.
He said: "Lingde has seen the loneliness of winter and the vitality of spring, but there are four seasons in a year, and summer and autumn are still missing."
This statement is quite refreshing.
"How is it possible that Lingde has never met Xia and Qiu?"
Chu Yao said: "I have seen it, but not completely."
He is very interested in this female student.
Especially after learning about her way of being a scholar, he studied it privately, trying to find a way for her to concentrate her literary mind faster and more safely. At first, he also thought that he could try it if his literary energy reserves were sufficient, but he changed his mind on the day of spring plowing.
Lin Feng’s way of being a scholar is “the art of benefiting the people”!
Based on the fields, based on agriculture.
Both are inseparable from the changing of the seasons.
Perhaps only after a real experience can Lin Feng fully comprehend the essence and condense her own literary mind in one fell swoop!
"Have you told her?"
"Of course I mentioned it, to put her at ease."
Although Lin Feng did not take the initiative to make it public, he could sense the growing impatience in his student's heart. This kind of emotion is taboo for a scholar! At any time, you must maintain a calm mentality, not be happy with things, and not be sad with yourself.
Lin Feng is quite competitive.
Shen Tang held up his chin and looked at the sky outside, expectantly saying, "Autumn... Then Ling De is the first woman besides me to have both literary and martial courage? The little girl has great potential."
"Most likely the second one." Gu Chi said.
"Who else?"
He reminded Shen Tang: "Madam Bai Su."
Bai Su is a martial artist with excellent natural physique. She has been practicing martial arts for thousands of days and nights since she was a student of her master. She is different from Li Li. Li Li started martial arts late in life and started practicing martial arts when he was almost grown up. Bai Su practiced the boy's skills. In addition to Danfu, Wudan, and Wuqi, her capital can make her look down on 90% of the martial artists in the world.
She also gained a small portion of military luck when she was given meat from livestock during the spring plowing season.
It was this martial luck that allowed Bai Su to skip the stage of hard training to sense the energy of heaven and earth, and take a big step towards becoming a martial courageous warrior! Her foundation was already very strong, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely become a martial courageous warrior within a month. Condensing martial courage even precedes raccoon strength.
However, gathering martial courage is never the end.
But it is the starting point for martial brave warriors.
How far she can go in the future depends entirely on her own luck.
Only then did Shen Tang remember Bai Su.
No wonder she ignored it.
Bai Su is not ostentatious. When it is time to practice, he finds a secluded place to practice quietly. When it is time to do something, he does it according to the instructions and regulations. He does more, says less, and does not add to the drama without permission, so naturally his presence is low.
But when she shows the blades of her double swords with long spikes, she will definitely be the focus!
Shen Tang said: "Then I'll go back and find a way..."
With someone leading the way, you can always avoid taking detours.
But what she thought was that Gu Chi had already done it.
It wasn't that he took the initiative to do so, but Bai Su asked him for help - compared to Gong Shuwu, she was more familiar with Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng was from the Tianhai faction after all, and some secrets should not be disclosed to outsiders before getting Shen Tang's consent.
Gu Chi helped out without any hesitation.
Therefore, he knew the progress of Bai Su's practice.
Leisure time is always short. The three chatted for a while and then got up to do their own business. The person in charge of finding someone to spread the signal of "auspicious snow heralds a good harvest" was Chu Yao, because Gu Chi had a lot of trivial matters to deal with and had to go on a business trip.
Shen Tang yawned and continued working.
Before I could even get comfortable, someone else arrived.
It was Xu Jie, who hadn’t been seen for nearly a month.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t seen him for a long time, but Xu Jie seems to have gained weight today, and his face is a little rounder - it’s understandable when you think about it, as it’s easiest to gain weight in the one or two months after the New Year.
"Wenzhu is back, come and sit down."
Xu Jie was powerless to complain about Shen Tang's words.
Just bow according to etiquette and take a seat.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Mr. Shen is even more charming than before."
Shen Tang curled his lips inwardly.
Still charming
She has been working so much overtime lately that she is almost evolving into an iron-eating beast.
He looked as haggard as if he had been released from prison.
No more small talk, just get straight to the point.
"Has the previous batch of wine been sold out?"
“Sold out.”
Shen Tang reminded with a half-smile: "Can you reasonably avoid taxes?"
In fact, she just wanted to disgust people on purpose last time. If she could drive a wedge between Wu Xian and Xu Jie, it would be an unexpected gain.
With Wu Xian's mind, he would probably pretend to be deaf and dumb, and then Xu Jie would make up for Shen Tang's losses himself due to pressure... This is the most ideal situation. The greater probability is that this master and servant will be unkind and continue to cut Shen Tang's leeks with a thick skin.
Who knows—
Xu Jie handed over the account book with both hands.
Shen Tang took it and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows.
Wow, Wu Xian has changed his personality.
Last time, Xu Jie only brought back fifty jars of wine, but the remaining profit was about the same as the two hundred jars the time before. The items exchanged were also at a fair price, and the key was that they were not second-hand retired goods!
It's new!!!
For a moment, Shen Tang was "flattered".
Is there something fishy going on
He looked up from the account book and looked at Xu Jie.
Question: "How can Tianhai still eat this batch of goods?"
The implication is, Wu Xian actually didn't reap the benefits
Xu Jie smiled and said very naturally: "It's not Tianhai, it's Shangnan and Yiru."
Shen Tang fell into a long silence after hearing this.
The territory of Shangnan, Gu Ren, and Gu Ziyi.
The territory of Yiru, Zhang He, and Zhang Yongqing.
Is Wu Xian's chive sickle so long
Just as he was wondering, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the numbers in the account book were wrong.
"Why two hundred jars of wine?"
Not fifty jars
