Chapter Seventy-Five: Exploitation
"Wonderful! That's a great idea! Lin Zhong Han Minglan lightly tapped Mo Shaoli's forehead, "How did this little head melon grow?" You can imagine it! It's also a shame that you're a girl, if you're a man, wouldn't you want to be the first assistant? ”
"Not really! If you don't say that I can talk about the economy, I can retreat from the wind and snow, and enjoy the plum blossoms! ”
"You little girl! If you praise you, you will be surprised, and you will be rewarded with some ice fruits! Han Minglan stretched out her hand and pulled the plum blossom branch on Mo Shaoli's head, and the snow came down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that Han Minglan didn't understand the intention of her words, Mo Shaoli was a little disappointed in his heart, smiled and avoided the snow falling from the trees, and changed the topic: "Sister Minglan, I heard that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion not only has red and white plums blooming well, but also rare yellow and green plums. ”
"Yes! It's over there! I'll show you! Han Minglan reached out and grabbed her.
Mo Shaoli was so cold by her hand that she shrunk her fingers: "Sister Minglan, your hands are so cold!" Don't you feel cold, why don't we go back here? ”
Han Minglan smiled: "Where are you so squeamish? You're much smaller than I am, aren't you afraid? I'm ...... Wait...... Go back ......."
The two of them walked away hand in hand, their voices staccato as their figures faded into the depths of Merlin.
"Let's go!" Shen Ce said and turned to leave.
"Shen San, what you said about Chang Closing just now...... Is it really from the mouth of that ten-year-old girl? Song Heng followed behind Shen Ce and left Merlin, and said in a loud voice.
"As soon as possible, it is recommended to set up a regular position!" Shen Ce answered the question.
"Good!" Song Heng and Shen Ce have been getting along for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding, but they were stunned for a moment before understanding his intentions, "You or me?" ”
"You!"
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not set up a regular closing position, if someone wrote a book, Song Yuan would definitely consider this proposal. Although he was a bit despicable as a brother, he was a good emperor. During Song Yuan's reign, the politics were clear, the country was rich and the people were strong. The court's helplessness in this winter's snowstorm is a rare stain on his political career.
There is a good way to deal with disasters such as regular liquidation, and the emperor will definitely consider it, and even if he does not adopt the suggestion, he will definitely not anger the person who wrote the book.
Shen Ce knew that if he made the proposal himself, it would be more beneficial to his future. Because once this suggestion is adopted by the emperor, it is not said that it will be able to rise to the top, at least there will be promotion.
But that's not what he wants.
Shen Ce knew very well what he wanted, and only by pushing Song Heng high enough would he win enough.
"Good!" Song Heng hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Shen Ce knew the concerns in his heart: "Cousin, don't worry, as the girl said just now, the weather has been abnormal since the beginning of winter, and there is a great possibility of a snow disaster." Once the snow disaster occurs, the imperial court will need a large amount of rice and grain for disaster relief, and then the emperor will naturally be able to appreciate the benefits of Chang Ping, so as to know your benevolence for the sake of the people and filial piety for the king. So ......"
"The snow disaster is an opportunity!" Song Heng said.
Shen Ce didn't speak.
Although it is unkind to use the disaster to achieve the goal, with the current situation of him and Song Heng, they can only take the opportunity to act, and this snow disaster is an opportunity for them to brush up their favor in front of the emperor...... If you can't stop natural disasters, what if you take advantage of them? It's better than letting Song Ke take advantage of it, not to mention that the setting of regular closing is also a good thing for the benefit of the people after all.
"I'll go back to the house and ask someone to go to Gyeonggi to buy rice and grain, so that it can be transported into Beijing before the heavy snow closes the road." Shen Ce said.
It is better for Song Heng to do the request, but the purchase of grain cannot be handed over to Song Heng. Not to mention that he is always monitored by Song Ke's secret guards by his side, just the emperor is there, so he can't explain it. The prince's wanton stockpiling of grain, no matter what the purpose, will always make the emperor suspicious.
Song Heng said: "I will write to my father as soon as possible about the closing of the position, if I can take advantage of the snow disaster to make things happen, it will be good." Even if it doesn't work, it's a big deal that I will be reprimanded by my father, and it's nothing. But the matter of buying grain ...... Should we think again? A large amount of rice grain will occupy a huge amount of silver taels, if there is no snow disaster by then, won't the grain be in your hands? ”
Shen Ce said: "The absence of snow disasters is also a blessing for the people!" As for the grain...... You can also make money by making wine with grain! ”
Although Song Heng was one year older than Shen Ce, he had always been the most obedient to him, and when he saw that he could still laugh like this at such a time, the apprehension in his heart disappeared immediately.
Shen Ce quickened his pace: "I'll go to see my aunt, and I'll go back to the house as soon as possible to make arrangements." ”
Song Heng said: "I haven't seen my aunt since I entered the mansion, so I happened to go with you." ”
Because the snow has been falling, the male guests who come to the Hou Mansion to congratulate mostly sit around the fireplace in the front yard hall to talk, the ladies and wives mostly chat in the backyard flower hall, and the ladies and girls gather in the Wangxue Pavilion. Therefore, Shen Ce and Song Heng walked all the way, without encountering a few people, and occasionally there were maids holding the stove passing by, and they only dared to sneak a glance at it with a red face, so they lowered their heads and stood aside quietly, waiting for them to leave.
When he was about to leave the garden, Shen Ce looked up at the snowy sky.
Today in his previous life, after he left the Hou Mansion, he went to the Fengqi Mountain enclosure to hunt, stayed there for five or six days, and returned to the capital before the heavy snow closed the mountain. Because he hunted a firefox that is rarely seen on that occasion, he remembers it clearly. Counting the days, there will be heavy snowfall in about seven or eight days, and if you hurry up, you should be able to collect some grain from the outer states and counties before the road is closed.
Reborn again, although Shen Ce has not fully recalled all the bits and pieces of the past twenty years, what should be remembered is slowly remembering, such as this snow disaster, such as what Song Ke did in the snow disaster...... But why is it that the girl in Merlin who reminds him of the snow disaster has no trace of it in his memory?
Only that clear and soft voice made him feel familiar.
Who the hell is she?
"Cousin! Third brother! Song Tian bounced from the front with the wind and snow, interrupting Shen Ce's thoughts, "Third brother, cousin, do you know who that little girl is?" ”
Shen Ce's mother, the Duchess of Zhenguo, and Song Heng's mother, Empress Li, are sisters-in-law, and the two are cousins. Shen Ce and Song Tian have nothing to do with each other, but Song Tian has always liked the cousin of the third brother, so he recognized his cousin by the vine, and called him "cousin" very affectionately.
Song Heng had already paid attention to Mo Shaoli's words when he overheard her words by the lake, and after listening to her high arguments outside Merlin, he was even more interested. But pay attention to it, and pay attention to it, but I also know that as a man, I can't openly ask the origin and name of other girls, and I only plan to inquire slowly after returning home.
didn't expect Song Tian not only to really find out the details of other girls, but also shout at the top of his throat.
Song Heng's face sank: "Eighth brother! How can you talk about other girls in such a mess! (To be continued.) )
