Chapter 4: Walking Together
However, the emperor did not mention it, which did not mean that the prince was not in a hurry, so he began to express his own expressions. The main state of the table is to win over the ministers and establish their own spheres of influence. The use of various means can really be described as doing everything.
Thinking of this, Zhao Heng's appearance is not so difficult to understand, it is estimated that her father is too difficult to do, so she will think of entering from the rear. It's just that the means are really not glamorous.
In her previous life, from Shen Yuxiao's death, the position of the prince did not compete for a victory, so she didn't know the ending of Zhao Heng, but she just thought that it was always dangerous for the prince to deliberately win over, and if she chose the right one, she would ascend to heaven and glory for a hundred years, and if she chose the wrong one, she would destroy the stench of the nine clans for ten thousand years.
Therefore, in the face of standing in line, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, and in the previous life, Shen Wenshan chose to be neutral, but he was blacked out by the prince. If you can't get it, you will destroy it, the prince is obsessed with imperial power, and his mentality is not ordinary for a long time.
Later, she thought for a long time, why there was an epidemic in Kyoto, and it was not the imperial doctor or the military attache who was sent, but Shen Wenshan, a powerless civil official, to guard the town. has no strength at all, a ghost, a person with a little brain, can see at a glance that the person in charge of this matter at that time is the second prince who is extremely ruthless.
Thinking of her father's tragic death, Shen Yuxiao only felt cold on her back.
The carriage traveled all the way to Jingmen and turned to Jinzhou, where Shen Wenshan would pick them up.
When I got on the boat, because there were many people, the goods occupied a boat, and the people got off a boat, and the personal maid and the master's family had to make up a boat. Although Zhao Heng is an outsider, he can't let people squeeze with his subordinates and goods, and these two are other people's ships, originally they only prepared one, but they didn't expect it to be loaded. Fortunately, Zhao Heng prepared two, and they borrowed one without saying anything, and the Su family was not a pedantic person, so they took one.
Su Shi was seasick, and he began to feel uncomfortable not long after he got on the boat, and the waterway had to travel for seven days, and he had not eaten water and rice for two days, and today he ate a small half bowl of porridge under the strict gaze of Shen Yuxiao and Shen Jinxi, and he rested after eating.
Shen Yuxiao withdrew from the Su family's room, and her heart was also very depressed, so she walked towards the bow of the boat, and Shen Jinxi followed behind. As soon as he walked out of the boat, he saw Zhao Heng sitting alone outside the warehouse.
Shen Yuxiao had already walked out of the hatch, and Shen Jinxi was blocked behind again, and it would be a little embarrassing to retreat now.
Hearing the voice, Zhao Heng turned his head and met Shen Yuxiao's dark and jade-like eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he got up with a smile at the moment: "Miss Shen also came out to breathe." ”
Shen Yuxiao was helpless, so she had to step forward: "It's inevitable that the cabin will be stuffy." ”
Shui Hua and Tianhua followed behind Shen Yuxiao, and when Shen Yuxiao walked out a little, they saw Zhao Heng. Shui Hua is okay, there is no expression, Tianhua is already active, and when he saw Zhao Heng's face, he immediately pulled it down, stood in front of Shen Yuxiao and separated Zhao Heng, staring at her with a pair of eyes guarded.
Zhao Heng couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "It seems that Miss Shen's maid doesn't like to be here. ”
Hearing this, Tianhua looked at Shen Yuxiao first, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he knew that she didn't object to his approach, so he suddenly became angry. When Shen Jinxi opened his mouth, as soon as he opened his mouth, Tianhua suddenly felt that it was better not to speak.
"Of course she doesn't like you, she likes you, can you marry her or whatever." Zhao Heng, who was blocked by a sentence, was speechless.
Shen Yuxiao looked at it, and then provoked the topic: "What can Yang Gongzi see after watching here for a long time?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Could it be that Miss Shen saw something?" ”
Shen Yuxiao smiled slightly, raised her hand and pointed directly at the river.
Zhao Heng's eyes followed, and his brows couldn't help frowning more and more. Without waiting for him to speak, Shen Yuxiao said lightly: "The water level of Hanshui this year is much shorter than in previous years. ”
Indeed, Zhao Heng also discovered this, because the water level was low, so the ship walked in the river, afraid that it would run aground on the reef when it pulled over.
"The Hanshui source from the Bogtrang Mountains relies on the snow on the mountains that does not melt all year round, and now it is also like this, has Yang Gongzi thought of other places?" Asking this sentence, Shen Yuxiao didn't seem to need Zhao Heng to answer, and continued: "The grain output of the former Tang Dynasty mainly depended on Shandong, Hebei, and Henan, Hebei had the Yellow River, Henan had Huaishui, and Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Weizhou, and Youzhou were grain producing lands, and I am afraid that there will be a drought this year." ”
After speaking, he looked into the distance with a regretful face, Shen Jinxi quieted down in time, and Zhao Heng looked at Shen Yuxiao in disbelief, it was hard to imagine that these words actually came out of the mouth of a woman in the boudoir.
"Since the beginning of winter last year, rain has been scarce, and even in the north, there has been no snow in the month. But this is a natural disaster, what can we do? Zhao Heng wanted to lure Shen Yuxiao to continue, but as soon as the words came out, they were informed by several people present.
Although Shen Jinxi was annoyed, he couldn't help it when he saw that Shen Yuxiao didn't care.
"There is the Sanggan River to the north of Youzhou, and there is Jishui to the south of Weizhou. If a channel can be built from it, the drought can be alleviated. Shen Yuxiao said softly, but a few words went straight into Zhao Heng's heart.
When Shen Yuxiao mentioned the drought, he thought of this, but it was not easy to repair the canal, so he vetoed it, if he wanted to repair the channel and connect the two waters, I was afraid that it would not be completed in a few years. At that time, the drought will not be alleviated, and it will cost people and money.
"Not to mention the effect of this method, the time it takes is something that the local people can't afford."
"That's the wrong way to build a canal." Shen Yuxiao looked at Zhao Heng, who was already handsome, and her smile was unconsciously eye-catching.
Zhao Heng calmed down, and then he looked at Shen Yuxiao's eyes, and there was a moment of distraction just now, which made him very annoyed. "Oh, I wonder what Miss Shen's plan is?"
"It's not a clever idea, it's just a crude idea. It's windy here, why don't Yang Gongzi go in and talk about it. After Shen Yuxiao finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the cabin.
Shen Jinxi glanced at Zhao Heng, it was obvious that it was not easy for him to let go of his prejudices. Shui Hua and Tianhua had already followed, and they didn't even pay attention to Shen Jinxi, the young master.
Zhao Heng's entourage looked at the attitude of these people, and immediately felt dissatisfied for their master, and was about to speak, but was stopped by a gesture from Zhao Heng.
looked at the back of Shen Yuxiao leaving, and just followed in with a slight pause.
I saw Shen Yuxiao stop on a table with a one-meter-long hemp rope on it, and when she saw Zhao Heng walking in, Shen Yuxiao asked with a smile: "How long does Yang Gongzi think this hemp rope needs to be burned?" ”
Looking at the length of the hemp rope, if it is burned on the table, the progress will not be too fast, and after a while, Zhao Heng spoke: "Half an hour." ”
Shen Yuxiao didn't speak, took the fire fold in Shui Hua's hand, and began to light one end of the hemp rope. One end is lit, and then the other end is immediately clicked, then the middle of the twine is pointed, and then the middle of the remaining two pieces of hemp rope is pointed. In this way, the hemp rope was divided into more than a dozen sections, and the whole hemp rope was burned in less than half an hour.
While moving, he said words that had nothing to do with it, but it was the words that smashed into Zhao Heng's heart: "Chengde, Lu Long, Henghai, Wei Bo." ”
This is the Sanggan River and Jishui are the most suitable places to dig ditches to station. The war in the north has subsided for many years, but the soldiers and horses have not been transferred, and for a time all the soldiers and horses of the northern army have been idle in these places. If the soldiers are used to dig channels, it will not disturb the people, but also prevent the soldiers and horses from getting tired after a long time. And according to Shen Yuxiao's method of burning hemp rope just now, it will be excavated in multiple sections, and it will be completed in just a few months. When the time comes, it will be just in time for the next season of grain sowing, and the drought will also be avoided.
"Brilliant plan, why didn't I think of it!" Thinking about what Shen Yuxiao said, Zhao Heng was suddenly overjoyed. I almost couldn't control my feelings.
Shen Yuxiao just glanced at him, and then instructed Shui Hua to clean up the table. Ruo Yu sighed and said: "It's a pity that you and I are just a cloth cloth, even if we have this method, it is not very useful, but it is just a pastime to pass the time when we are bored." If the king of Lingjiang can get this plan, he will definitely be able to benefit the people. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Heng's heart jumped, and then he looked up, Shen Yuxiao and Shen Jinxi had already left. Today, there are so many unexpected facts that he feels a little untrue.
Following Shen Yuxiao to the corner, where Zhao Heng couldn't see it, Shen Jinxi frowned: "Why did Xiaoxiao tell him so much?" ”
"Oh, did I say anything?" Shen Yuxiao just looked at Shen Jinxi and smiled silently, it seemed that although her brother was muddy, he was an understanding person.
"Does this person have anything to do with King Lingjiang? Or he is." Zhao Heng, the king of Lingjiang, Shen Jinxi suddenly thought of someone in his heart, and then looked at Shen Yuxiao, only to see her with a meaningful smile on her face, looking straight at herself. At the moment, he was embarrassed to wave the folding fan, and the word "clever" on it was clever to demonstrate his embarrassment.
After seven days of waterway, Shen Yuxiao never met Zhao Heng again on the boat. It's not that she deliberately dodged, but since the last time she finished speaking, Zhao Heng has been busy, and even on the waterway, there are all kinds of letters to pass out every day. And with the intimate big girl Tianhua, every day Shen Yuxiao wanted to go out to breathe, she immediately went to Qingdao. Zhao Heng is the first idle person in her mind, and with the support of Shen Jinxi, his courage is becoming more and more rampant, but fortunately, Shen Yuxiao is also happy to be quiet.
By the time the ship came ashore in Jinzhou, Su had already lost a lot of weight.
However, to her relief, the relationship between Shen Yuxiao and Shen Jinxi's brother and sister has eased a lot, and it is no longer as tense as before, and Shen Jinxi seems to be a lot more sensible along the way, knowing to take care of himself and take care of his sister.
As soon as he came ashore, Zhao Heng took someone to say goodbye, and he didn't even touch Shen Wenshan's face. Because the ship arrived in Jinzhou earlier than expected, when Shen Wenshan arrived, the Shen family's subordinates had already packed up the goods.
As soon as he saw Shen Wenshan, Su's spirit seemed to be better, and he stepped forward with a smile.
Seeing his wife's tired face, he knew that she had suffered all the way, and he just wanted to ask his children, but when he thought of the unsuccessful son, the daughter had been angry with herself for a long time because of this matter, so she had to shake her head.
Shen Yuxiao was a little excited when she saw Shen Wenshan, and when she saw him shaking her head helplessly, she stepped forward with a smile, pulled Shen Wenshan's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Daddy only has his mother in his eyes, Xiaoxiao has been standing here for a long time, but she can't see it." ”
Hearing this, Shen Wenshan was stunned at first, looking at his daughter's dark eyes, full of the coquettishness of the youngest daughter's family, where was there the slightest complaint.
As if seeing Shen Wenshan's confusion, Su Shi took Shen Yuxiao to his side: "Xiao'er is not a child anymore, I understand you, but I lost my temper for a few days when I was unhappy, and even Jin Xi became more and more sensible." ”
Shen Jinxi, whose name was suddenly mentioned, was secretly kicked by Shen Yuxiao, and reluctantly stepped forward and bowed to Shen Wenshan: "Dad." ”
Seeing this, Shen Wenshan was very pleased, and immediately swept away the previous haze, and ordered Shen Yuxiao to get in the car and rush towards the capital.
