While talking, several people came to Caijiayao. In the middle of Caijia kiln is the kiln factory, surrounded by a wall, and in the middle of the wall is a courtyard, in which there are dozens of houses for the kiln owner and craftsmen to stay.
The kiln owner Cai Ying had just finished checking from the kiln, and when he came out, he heard that Xia Xianzun was coming, so he didn't care about washing his face in a hurry, and came to Xia Xiang in a disgraced manner, and sued again and again. Xia Xiang asked a few words about the production status of the tile kiln, and learned that there are more than 300 tile craftsmen in Caijia kiln, which produces a large number of bricks and tiles and a small amount of pottery, but does not produce porcelain.
Xia Xiang handed over the two answer sheets of Cao Shujun and Li Zhi to Lian Ruohan, and asked with a smile: "Is Lian Niangzi interested in operating a tile kiln?" ”
Lian Ruohan took the answer sheet, glanced at it a few times, and his face changed slightly: "Xia Xianzun, Cao Langjun and Li Qilang's answers are very different, why do you judge that the two are not victorious?" Good times often have no plans to operate tile kilns for the time being. ”
Cao Langjun calculates that the cost of a family's house is much less than Li Zhi's, and it is Cao Langjun who takes into account the difficulties of the people's livelihood and knows the difficulties of the people. Li Zhi thought that building a house for the people was the same as building a house for his own family, and he could squander it at will, but he was not grounded and did not understand the difficulty of making a living. Xia Xiang knew very well in his heart what Li Zhi's problem was, "It can't be said that Li Zhi is wrong, it can only be said that he doesn't understand what the people want." Therefore, if Li Zhi is an official, I am afraid that he will harm the people. ”
"Why does Xia Xianzun want me to run the tile kiln?" Lian Ruohan put away Cao Shujun and Li Zhi's answer sheets, and roughly calculated, he probably knew the cost of resettlement, in addition to secretly thanking Xia Xiang for his carefulness, he was very puzzled by Xia Xiang's sudden proposal.
Xiao Jia didn't wait for Xia Xiang to speak, he had already guessed what Xia Xiang was thinking, and said first: "Even the lady was confused by Xia Xianzun, such a simple thing was unexpected, Xia Xianzun is really charming." She smiled playfully, "To resettle the displaced people, in addition to building houses and providing arable land, it is also necessary to use a large number of living utensils, and the tile kiln can be used to fire pottery, and pottery is an indispensable living utensils for the people......
"Half right." Xia Xiang nodded and smiled, if you say who can understand his intentions in time, it must be Xiao Jia, he pointed to the surroundings of Caijia kiln, "With the kiln factory as the center, build a courtyard with a radius of ten acres, gather the craftsmen with craftsmanship among the homeless people, brainstorm, and jointly build a place similar to Goolan Washe, I haven't thought of the name yet, it's better to call it ......"
"How about calling Wenyuan?" Xiao Jia's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea.
"Wen Yuan? Good name. Lian Ruohan applauded, and when he thought about it, he was even more happy, "From the Spring and Autumn Period, after the Han and Tang Dynasties, many good crafts worth inheriting have been lost, and the Wenyuan can preserve the lost craftsmanship, so that the craftsmen can teach by word and deed, and pass it on from generation to generation." Xia Xianzun is so powerful, it's a good idea, I want to buy a tile kiln and transform it into a Wenyuan. In the future, Wenyuan will be built in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Hainan. ”
Mantuo has always been silent, listened to Lian Ruohan's words, but her face changed unusually, she held the sword in both hands, and gave Lian Ruohan a deep salute: "Lian Niangzi has such intentions, the merit is in the present and the benefit in the future generations, it is a great businessman." Please be prostrated by Manda! ”
Lian Ruohan hurriedly picked up the mantle: "The lady of the mantle is serious, I just did my best to do my meager strength, if you want to say that the person who really serves the country and the people, it is none other than Xia County." ”
Xia Xiang smiled and waved his hand: "Don't boast between you and me, it's better to discuss the acquisition with the kiln owner first." ”
The acquisition was discussed very smoothly, although Cai Ying's Cai Jiayao had a good income, but Lian Ruohan's bid was too eye-catching, and he accepted the offer without a moment's hesitation. Even Ruohan was also refreshing, immediately wrote the document, both sides signed and put down their handprints, and after Cai Ying took over Lian Ruohan's money, Cai Jiayao officially changed its name to Haojing Chang.
When Xia Xiang and his entourage returned to the Guanxin Pavilion, it was already afternoon. As soon as he sat down, he saw Ding Ke coming in a hurry.
"Xia Xianzun, Zhang Xuehua and Lu Dongliang ask to meet." Ding Ke was a little flustered in his expression, and Shen Liangren's matter shocked him incomparably.
"What's so urgent?" Xia Xiangcai took a sip of the tea handed by Liu'er, and before he had time to discuss the next step with Lian Ruohan, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "If there is nothing important, let them come back tomorrow." ”
"There's a big deal." Ding Ke saw that the people on the left and right were all trusted by Xia County, so he no longer concealed it, "The two of them were ordered to follow Yan Hao and save a soldier in the Hutuo River......"
"Quick." Xia Xiang knew that the stakes were high as soon as he heard it.
After a while, there was a chaotic footstep outside, and then the figure flashed, Zhang Xuehua and Lu Dongliang hurriedly walked in, the two of them didn't care much, scribbled a salute, Zhang Xuehua hurriedly said: "Xia Xianzun, the little old man rescued a person in the river, his name is Shen Liangren, a native of Guangzhou, and he is a soldier of the forbidden army in Zhending......
"Where are the others now?" Xia Xiang couldn't wait for Zhang Xuehua to make it clear, and knew in his heart that Shen Liangren was a crucial witness.
"Now Zhending City is full of government and Gao Jianyuan, Yan Hao's eyeliner, Xiao Lao'er was afraid of something going wrong, so he hid Shen Liangren in Yang Mazi Cake Shop." Zhang Xuehua looked complacent, and he took Shen Liangren to the Yang Mazi Cake Shop, which was already empty, and it was safe.
"Let's go, I'll go with this official right away." Xia Xiang got up and left, walked a few steps and stopped, "The lady of Mantuo will go with the official, and you will stay to discuss the dredging and resettlement of the displaced people." ”
"I'm going too." Cao Shujun was not interested in business.
"It's fine." Xia Xiang didn't want Cao Shujun to stay and cause trouble, so he agreed.
Several people came to the Yang Mazi Cake Shop, which had been closed for a long time, and the Yang Mazi Cake Shop was no longer as lively as it used to be, and there was no one in front of the door. When I went up to the second floor, I saw a person sitting on a chair by the window, looking out of the window with a wary face.
"Shen Liangren, Xia Xianzun is here." Zhang Xuehua coughed, pretending to be majestic.
Shen Liangren hurriedly got up and saluted Xia Xiang: "Shen Liangren has seen Xia Xianzun. ”
"Sit down and talk." After Xia Xiang sat down, he secretly looked at Shen Liangren a few times, and had a plan in his heart, on the way, Zhang Xuehua and Lu Dongliang had already explained the beginning and end of the matter clearly, so he skipped some things and asked directly, "Do you want to go back to Guangzhou?" ”
"Yes, I hope Xia County will be honored." Shen Liangren was determined to leave this place of right and wrong at this time. He knew very well that without Xia Xianzun's help, he would not have been able to leave Zhending.
"It's always a good thing for Ye Luo to return to his roots...... Xia Xiang pondered for a moment, "But now is not the best time to leave, this official advises you to stay in Zhending for the time being, and wait for the emperor to talk about going back after his southern tour." ”
"Xia County Zun ......" Shen Liangren was anxious, if he stayed in Zhending and was discovered by Yan Hao or Wu Yidong, he would definitely die, in a hurry, he knelt on the ground, "Please understand the villain's filial piety when he goes home to support his parents." ”
"It's a good thing to go home and be filial to your parents, it's too late for the official to praise you, how can you not allow it?" Xia Xiang smiled slightly, stood up, and came to the window, "It's just that when you left your hometown and came to join the army, your parents must have high hopes for you, and you must be expected to have the heart of Jackie Chan." Although I don't expect you to return to your hometown, I don't want you to achieve nothing. You are now a deserter, and your hands are empty, and when you return home, although you have the heart to support your parents, you have no power to support your parents. Besides, after all, you are guilty, and after being discovered by the local government, you will be sent to the face and exiled for 3,000 miles......"
Zhang Xuehua and Lu Dongliang glanced at each other, and the two bowed their heads deeply. originally thought that saving Shen Liangren could make a great contribution, but I didn't want Xia Xianzun to say that Shen Liangren was guilty, and the two of them were doing bad things with good intentions, maybe they would be reprimanded by Xia Xianzun later, and I couldn't help but mention it in my throat.
Shen Liangren sweated like rain, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Ask Xia County to save the villain, the villain will definitely serve as a dog and horse." ”
Xia Xiang turned around and glanced at Shen Liangren lightly, and said, "Get up and speak, you don't have to make this big gift." If you want to say that it is not difficult to save you, it is difficult to be a little difficult, how to make you incognito for a period of time, there is, Ding catches the head, can there be a roster of homeless people outside the city? ”
Ding Ke couldn't guess Xia Xiang's intentions, so he said truthfully: "The homeless people were originally people in the city, and they were outside the city, and they didn't have time to register and make a register. ”
"That's it." Xia Xiang nodded, "Shen Liangren, are you willing to make meritorious contributions?" If you are among the displaced people outside the city, within two months, there will really be a great event, and you can do a great thing when it happens. In this way, you will not only be able to get rid of the military status, but you will also be promoted, and when the time comes, you will be proud of your parents and family. ”
Shen Liangren only thought for a moment before kneeling down again: "The villain is willing to obey Xia Xianzun's orders." ”
Xia Xiang said with a pleasant face: "What happened in the Hutuo River today is a very important matter, and we must not disclose it to the outside world. Zhang Gong and Lu Gong are the same, don't say a word nonsense, be careful of causing death. Ding Zhutou, you, Zhang Gong, and Lu Gong took Shen Liangren to the outside of the city, first placed Shen Liangren in the tile kiln where good times are always there, and then cooperated with Master Lu to register the displaced people. Zhang Gong and Lu Gong, you two assisted Master Lu to organize the strong laborers among the displaced people into a team, and be ready to clear the dredging at any time. ”
"Yes!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Zhang Xuehua and Lu Dongliang were overjoyed, Xia Xianzun not only blamed them, but also entrusted them with important tasks, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Hearing that the silt problem that had plagued the Hutuo River for many years, Xia Xianzun was even more overjoyed when he finally took action to clean it up. In the past, the county magistrate either did not clear the dredging because he was afraid of accidents, or he did not clean up because he did not dare to offend the merchants along the coast, or he did not seek no merit but did not pay attention to the lazy and lazy government, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited for Xia Xianzun who dared to rush the Hutuo River, how could they not be excited?
Several people returned to Guanxin Pavilion, Xia Xiang explained a few more words to Lu Zhiyue, Lu Zhiyue received the order, and Ding Ke, Zhang Xuehua, Lu Dongliang, Shen Liangren and others went out of the city.
It was getting dark.
Xiao Jia went to Zhang Luo for dinner, and after a few people came to Zhending, today was the first time to have dinner with Xia Xiang, so it was very grand. Not only did Xiao Jia go to the kitchen to supervise the work, but Cao Shuli also got up to check it out in person.
There was nothing to do, Xia Xiang had something to say to Lian Ruohan, so he invited Lian Ruohan to the courtyard to admire the moon. Cao Shujun had to follow, but Xia Xiang had no choice but to agree.
Mantuo also followed closely behind, still holding the sword with both hands, not leaving Cao Shujun's left and right, as long as Cao Shujun approached Xia Xiang, she made a mistake and blocked Cao Shujun. After Cao Shujun several times, he couldn't get close to Xia Xiang's body, so he had to glare at Mantuo hatefully.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkling the earth to its heart's content. There was a slight chill in the wind, Xia Xiang took off his cloak, draped it on Lian Ruohan's body, and said softly: "From the situation in the capital, to the four great families who heard the wind, to the ups and downs in Zhending City, and then to Lian Niangzi's interception of the iron ore supply of Guangjin Commercial Bank, this autumn, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”
Seeing that Xia Xiang mentioned the interception of the iron ore supply of Guangjin Commercial Bank, Lian Ruohan glanced at Xia Xiang meaningfully, but still avoided answering the matter: "Cleaning up the silt of the Hutuo River is not an imperative thing, why should Xia Xianzun be in a hurry?" Wouldn't it be better to wait for the emperor to clear the dredging after his southern tour? ”
As soon as Xia Xiang said that Yan Hao instructed the soldiers to go down to the river to bury piles, Lian Ruohan suddenly lost his face: "Yan Hao is so bold and wants to sink the emperor's dragon boat?" ”
"More than a crash? He also prepared fire and thunder, wanting to blow up the emperor's dragon ship. Xia Xiang thought about it and felt that Yan Hao was too frustrated, but it was also foreseeable that the Star King's heart to inherit the throne was already ready to be sent, and there was no way out if he fought head-on, "Fortunately, I released the wind early on the dredging matter, and I just used the dredging to clean up the wooden stakes and fire thunder buried by Yan Hao, so as to keep the emperor safe on the dragon boat." ”
"As soon as I entered the officialdom, I encountered such an earth-shattering event, Xia Xianzun, it's really difficult for you." Lian Ruohan stood in front of the rockery in the pond, the breeze blew her hair, her clothes fluttered, and she stood indifferently against the wind, "No one would have thought that the key battle between the emperor and the star king would fall on Zhending, and what is even more unexpected is that the emperor's safety will be tied to a magistrate who has just entered the officialdom." Xia Xianzun, you are now a person who is in danger of the world. ”
Xia Xiang smiled faintly: "Don't dare, don't dare, as a courtier, it is a matter of life and death." I just hope that the emperor can be close to the virtuous ministers and far villains, distinguish between right and wrong, and stop reusing the Star King and Hou Pingpan and others. ”
Lian Ruohan sighed slightly: "The emperor doesn't know the wolf ambitions of the Star King and Hou Pingpan, but it was a big mistake, and now if he wants to repent, he can't return to heaven, so he can only pretend to be deceived by the two of them, and slowly figure it out." I think how heroic the emperor was back then, and created an immortal cause, but now he has ended up in such a field, which is regrettable. ”
"The emperor pretended to be deceived by the two?" Xia Xiang heard the implicit meaning of Lian Ruohan's words, and couldn't help but be surprised, "How did Lian Niangzi know what the emperor's current situation is?" Could it be that you and the emperor know each other? ”
