Although it was not Rong Sleepy Crane himself who came forward to take over this matter, Sheng Weiqiao, as Rong Sleepy Crane's wife, is also the owner of a large dowry, and the husband and wife are one, if she doesn't handle this matter well, she is not afraid that the fire will not burn Rong Sleepy Crane's head, and she can even add a charge to him for not repairing the inner curtain and teaching his wife ineffectively.

Once the goal was achieved, Meng Jiaqian was not only afraid of Rong Shenghe's strength at the moment, but also because he was seriously injured and urgently needed to recuperate, he soon withdrew under the excuse of "not being able to drink", and as soon as he left, Ni Jidao and others did not dare to continue to stay, and left one after another.

So the wind feast was hastily dispersed, and after Rong Sleeping Crane and his party returned to the road, Xuan Yu Feng pulled Sheng Weiqiao to take a carriage, and invited Wu Da to join him.

After getting into the car, Jin Li took out the tea from the dark compartment and made it for the three of them, and Xuan Yu Feng sneered and said to his niece: "You dare! Don't say hello to anyone, just stand up and take the matter down, what are you going to do when you turn around? Don't tell me, your princess is stupid, and you plan to throw a thousand children and eight hundred taels to buy them?"

"Then you didn't stop me at that time!" Sheng Weiqiao pouted, "Besides, you all heard it at that time, those people were clearly designed, and they were bullying Mi Zhen with their aggressive strength, Mi Zhen was in a dilemma, we didn't know it, now that we know, can't we just look at it like that? That also seems that I am too cowardly, just across the curtain, knowing that people are bullying my husband over there, and I am not allowed to give him a head?"

The corners of Master Wu's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart Huan Guanlan's closed disciple, you still need to worry about such a scene?

In fact, Rong Sleeping Crane didn't trust the Jishan thief, and Wu Da didn't have much affection for Rong Sleeping Crane, so he speculated in his heart at this moment, Rong Sleeping Crane seemed to be poor at that time, did he know his temperament as the princess of the county, and deliberately let Sheng Weiqiao go out to relieve him?

As for the purpose of doing this, Wu Da felt that it might be to let Sheng Weiqiao take the initiative to hand over the management and use rights of the dowry after he failed, or to deliberately put the princess in a disadvantageous position and force the three families of the Sheng family, Feng Jiaxuan, and the Yu family to continue to contribute money and efforts...... It's not a good idea anyway.

Thinking like this, she looked at Sheng Weiqiao's gaze with some pity: such a delicate and stupid princess who is used to her family, I don't know what will happen when Rong Sleeping Crane will not need her to become famous in the future?

Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what this Wu Da was thinking, she complained about it once Xuan Yu Feng's family, and then talked about the consideration of disaster relief, "Didn't you tell your father before, auntie, don't be idle, let me come to Xijiang, don't be idle, buy some property if you have nothing to do, it doesn't matter if you lose money, the right is to practice." Whether it is to open a shop or a grange, there are important people on the left and right, and it is the best of both worlds to pick people from this group of disaster victims. ”

Xuan Yu Feng said: "What about thousands of people, you come up to play so big? Do you really think that you can lose money casually if you have a lot of dowry?"

Wu Da Dang also reminded: "Ten out of ten of these disaster victims are mixed with Meng Jiaqian and Ni Jidao and their people, once they are mixed into the property of the princess of the county, I am afraid that they are not here to do things, but to destroy." ”

"I recruited at most one or two hundred people at the beginning, but this does not mean that it only solves the livelihood of these people, just the wages that our family gives to the guys, as long as we don't go out to gamble and eat and drink all day long, it is absolutely no problem. Sheng Weiqiao said, "As for the others, the vast Western Frontier is still afraid that they won't find something to do?"

Regarding the fact that the victims were mixed with moles, Sheng Weiqiao felt that it was not a big problem, "In the critical position, I must use the steward in my own marriage, and recruiting people is just recruiting some people to do rough work." It will be three or five years before they are promoted, and by that time it will be a question of whether Meng Jiaqian is worth continuing to serve!

Xuan Yu Feng said: "How much storm can it set off? Have you forgotten how Xuan Yuche's family died back then? Just because a subordinate made a mistake for the broken intestine grass and honeysuckle, and as a result, a chicken and dog died in the family...... Don't think it's too easy!"

"That subordinate position is not ordinary!" Sheng Weiqiao glanced at her, "I plan to buy some granges outside the city and recruit people to do them, but they may not even be seen in front of me, how can they harm me?"

Wu Da said: "It's just one or two hundred people, whether there is a mole or not, it really doesn't matter." The key is the livelihood of a total of several thousand people, how to solve it?"

"Great master, you have experienced battles, and you must know more about battles than I know about them with my aunt. Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while, and then asked her, "Do you think that the northwest direction of Western Xinjiang is likely to be invaded by Ruru? I remember hearing my grandfather say that Ruru was once trapped in a major town for several years because he could not attack in the north for a long time, and then he took a detour and attacked the Central Plains from the western Xinjiang...... But is that really the case?"

Master Wu thought for a while and said, "I also heard my father mention it once, but it was a long, long time ago, and it was ...... at that time" She seemed to choke for a moment before continuing, "At that time, Duke Huan was still young!"

"Is there such a thing?" Xuan Yu Feng frowned, "So, the Western Frontier may not be peaceful in the future?"

Sheng Weiqiao said: "Not necessarily. It was all decades ago, and I guess many people on Ruru's side don't know about it. It was my grandfather who mentioned it to me at the beginning, and it was also because General Zhou had a brother who happened to be sitting in Western Xinjiang at that time, and he died on the battlefield in a sudden situation. ”

"Princess County!" Xuan Yu Feng was about to speak, when Master Wu suddenly asked, "Princess County is thinking about this at the moment, could it be that she has something to do with the thousands of victims?"

Hearing this, Yu Feng also looked at his niece curiously: "Do you plan to let them go to the Northern Expedition?"

"The Western Xinjiang Army has never thought of going north to support Northern Xinjiang, what is the group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who have just been affected by the disaster?" Sheng Weiqiao said speechlessly, "I plan to let them go in that direction to repair some fortifications or something...... You can't sit idle and eat anyway!"

Master Wu smiled and said, "Princess Jun, building fortifications is not so simple, ordinary people will definitely be regarded as ill-intentioned if they do this." Although the princess of the county has a noble status, there should be no obstacle to doing this. The problem is that the construction of fortifications does not mean that it can be done empty-handed, stones, wood, sediment or something, although the price is not expensive for the princess of the county, but thousands of people go into battle, this cost is not small, so if you calculate the account, it is better to let them eat white rice. ”

"This won't work. Sheng Weiqiao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I heard my father say before that you can't be too gracious. I remember that when I was in Nanfeng County, every autumn and winter soup kitchen, only the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children were allowed to receive it free of charge. Daddy said, this kind of person who has the strength to do things, if he teaches him to get something for nothing, he will only become more and more greedy, and now he thinks about whether he can eat porridge all day long...... In the end, I even wish you had given him all your possessions, maybe you are not satisfied!"

Xuan Yu Feng pouted and said, "Oh, you actually remember? I thought you had forgotten to go beyond the clouds!"

Sheng Weiqiao glared at her angrily: "Auntie, you are just a niece of mine, do you dare to think smarter?"

"If you were smart, what would you think about doing fortifications?" Xuan Yu Feng looked at her with a smile, "If you get the exact news that Ruru is about to take a detour from the north to the west to borrow the road, and now the disaster victims are going to repair the fortifications in the northwest direction, even if they throw more silver into it, they can still be said to be far-sighted." But at this time, Ruru is still concentrating on entanglement with the Northern Xinjiang Army, if you do this, I don't know what other people think, I just want to say three words: Loser girl!"

She sighed, "It's not like your own father's flesh and blood!"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "What if it is changed to ...... Well, what about roads?"

Xuan Yu Feng asked slowly: "Build roads?"

"I remember that we stayed in that small village for a few days before, and the way in and out of that was simply thrilling!" Sheng Weiqiao recalled the experience at that time, mainly the experience of being carried out, and now his face is a little pale, and said, "It is said that the western Xinjiang is bitter, as far as we have seen in person along the way, even if it is the main official road, it is not very good! If it is not appropriate to build the fortifications, why not build the roads? These roads can be seen by people who come and go, and they not only spread their reputation, but are ready-made political achievements, and they are convenient for pedestrians and ourselves, and they also provide a place for the victims of the disaster.

After she finished speaking in one breath, she looked at Xuan Yu Feng expectantly, hoping to be affirmed.

However, Xuan Yu Feng still smiled casually and said, "Alas, you really don't look like your own father, not like me, and not like your grandfather...... I don't think I should start praying from now on, so that Yuan'er can be a little shrewd with a few of us? Otherwise, your brothers and sisters will be like you, and your father will save ten and eight gold mountains, and he can't help you from being defeated!"

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao looking at herself unconvinced, she shook her head helplessly, "The idea of building roads is good, and there are many people who benefit Ze! Because of this, how can you pay for it yourself? Are all the others in Western Xinjiang dead?! Even if those Li Shu can't afford it, what about the local merchants? Do you think this place is poor, and there are no rich people?!"

"As the princess of the county, as long as you are delicate enough, believe it or not, hold a banquet after entering the city, and give them the next post, it is enough for them to be flattered and obey you, and the money donated to build the road will never blink an eye?!"

Xuan Yu Feng sighed, "As a result, you went back and forth thinking that you gave the money by yourself...... I really regret that I gave you so many dowries at that time, and I have cultivated your temper of not treating money as money! I don't know the difficulties of being in charge!"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao was depressed for a while, and said, "Not everyone thinks about business and excellence, like my grandfather's family, like Xuanyu's family, isn't it that even if I am among the best in the township examination, I may not be willing to go to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival?

"Then tell me, how did the concubine know about your grandfather?" Xuan Yu Feng sneered slightly, "No one above is unsympathetic, and you still want to be rich and noble?"

Sheng Weiqiao said: "But when Luojun Shoucai came to Nanfeng County to take office, he first went to Feng's house to visit his grandfather, and his grandfather didn't say that he immediately took the silver to show his heart to Luojun Shou when he received the news. ”

"This is because the Feng family has deep enough roots in Nanfeng County, and the clan has spread to the county, and the climate has been established. Xuan Yu Feng said hesitantly, "Xuan Yu's family is almost the same...... At that time, Luo Junshou went all the way away and had no foundation, so how could he not be polite to the big clans in the county? Why can your Sheng family develop so fast? Let me tell you the truth: Your father's talent is there, and the help of Tortoiseshell Island is also for a reason, in the final analysis, he is the Hanlin of Zhishi, and he has also been commended by the imperial court for his filial piety!"

"Otherwise, do you really think that you can support a powerful man by pure talent and luck?"

"The Feng family and the Xuan Yu family have developed tremblingly for four or five generations, and after they have completely gained a firm foothold, they have today's momentum!"

"Why did your grandfather, Old Man Sheng, love Mizhen in every way before, and think about him with all his might?"

"Aren't you worried that your real cousins haven't achieved anything in their studies so far, but I'm afraid that after he and your father go for two generations, the Sheng family has a shallow foundation and no successors, and they won't be able to keep the big business?!"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao sighed helplessly and said, "I know! I have only arrived in Yizhou at this time, and the local leaders, especially the businessmen, as long as I am willing to receive them, I will come to visit them if I say anything, and the visit will not be empty-handed! So even if I don't mention the use of work for relief and road construction to resettle the victims, they will also offer a sum of heart. At this time, the road will definitely be built and a monument will be erected, and the reputation will be passed on to future generations, so they naturally can't ask for it, and they will definitely not refuse!"

After all, in the eyes of these people, who wouldn't want to spend more money on the left and right in exchange for a little more good reputation?

Xuan Yu Feng hated iron and said: "I just said that you were spoiled by your father, and you thought of this?!"

"Huh?" Sheng Weiqiao thought that he had thought it through, using the identity of the princess of the county to collect funds, resettle the victims, rectify the road conditions, benefit the western Xinjiang, gain political achievements, and resolve the conspiracy and calculation of Meng Jiaqian and his group...... So what else did my aunt think about and didn't think of herself?

"Business!" Xuan Yu Feng saw that she was stunned for a long time and didn't come to her senses, and couldn't help but sigh, "Poor man, your father is so smart and confused for a while, why is he used to you like such a wooden head, poke it and move!"

Just remind, "The children who accompany you to Xijiang are all carefully selected by your father and mother from the Sheng family's various industries! Just shout a few, and you can form a long-distance caravan for you! At this time, you have thought of building the road, but you have not thought that after the road is repaired, the cost will be lower for the caravan, and it will be easier to go to those corners and corners to receive the goods! What do you do not take the opportunity to do some business? There are a bunch of ready-made shops in the south, and after the special products from the western Xinjiang are shipped, as long as the goods are good, are you afraid that they will not be able to sell them?"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao silently spat out blood and said, "Auntie, aren't I wholeheartedly thinking about rehousing the victims at this time, and I didn't expect to do business?"

After all, she has never taken care of her family's property, and when she leaves the cabinet, she is a princess of the county who does not need to worry about her livelihood at all, how can she be like the old lady of the merchant Xuan Yu Feng, who quickly wants to make a profit when she encounters an accident?
