Everyone was speechless, and Duguzhen reprimanded two sentences: "Scholarship should be long-lasting, and the heart should be like water"

Dugu Xinci also casually retorted that "the combination of work and rest will not be defeated in a hundred battles"

Duguzhen was not annoyed, and continued to ask about the topic of current affairs in Wen Yan, knowing that there was no title, and he was also groaning.

King Shen also asked about the two Lang Jun's policies, Wen Yu's words were Caoqu dredging, and Wei Erlang's was salt and iron.

Wen Yu believed that the rivers around Chang'an had been blocked for a long time, resulting in poor traffic from Kyoto to the state capitals, and that it was necessary to vigorously rectify it, and suggested that Weiwei should be used as a weir to cut off the two rivers of Chan, and make a channel to the east to run horizontally with Weishui, and to meet Weishui near Yongfengcang.

Duguzhen constantly praised his bold arguments, but they were practical, and this policy could solve the long-term supply tensions in Kyoto, which was a great contribution, and asked him to investigate it in detail and write more detailed information, for which he was willing to submit to the Ministry of Zhongshu.

Wei Erlang's theory of salt and iron was even more bold, and Wei Langjun suggested that the salt and iron should be collected by the state, and the flood of private salt and iron should be cracked down, and a special department should be set up to govern the supply of salt and iron.

Duguzhen also spoke highly of it, believing that he was loyal to the country, and this move was also a policy for a rich country.

King Shen looked at the two Langjun and sighed a little at his old thoughts.

Dugu Zhen also reprimanded Dugu Xinci for two sentences, so that he could learn the attitude of the two Lang Jun to share worries for the country, Dugu Xinci didn't bother to respond, and used the excuse that the wine had been smoked, but he continued to play with the guards.

Although the street drum is resting, the door of the square has been closed, but there is no street ban in the square, the Shen Wangfu came to urge, and the Shen King also ignored it, and continued to drink and feast for a while.

During the banquet, Dugu Zhen asked Dugu Xinci to visit the neighbors tomorrow, and King Shen also took on the role of recommendation.

Until Hai, the eight guards lay down five, King Shen was also dizzy and was taken back to the house, Wen Wei and the two Langjun were also placed in the courtyard of Dugu Xinci, and the king of Liaoyang County invited him to be resident, but Wen Yu left tomorrow on the grounds that he had been away from home for a long time and Lantian joined the army and needed to take care of it, and Wei Erlang also refused on the grounds that he needed to go to Luoyang to participate in the monthly examination of the division.

Dugu Xinci didn't think about anything else, but let them enter Beijing and stay in the county king's mansion. The two Lang Jun nodded yes.

A happy drink consumes ten jars of wine.

Qiu Bin took the old man to clean up the mess, and the rest of the people fell asleep soundly.

The next day, the street drum sounded for the first time, Dugu Zhen had to go to the court council, Dugu Xinci and Wen Yu Wei Erlang also woke up, rectified early, Wen Yu and Wei Erlang resigned, Dugu Wang Ye Wen Yan told a smooth journey, and took out a box of things and threw them to Dugu Xinci, saying that Dugu Mansion land deeds and properties are included, let him take care of the affairs carefully.

Liaoyang County Wang Shangshu's right servant shot Dugu Zhen and left, Dugu Xinci still finished breakfast with peace of mind, and sent the two Lang Jun out of the door, that is, he went back to the house to check the things in the wooden box, Qiu Bin looked at it with a smile, this was previously kept by him.

Dugu Xinci carefully looked at the deed, although the house was rewarded by the sage, but there are also ten thousand years of county for the record, the title deed and the like are more complete, Liaoyang County Wang Shiyi is 5,000 households and 800 real seals, the fief is Liaoyang County, Shilu is allocated by Zongzheng Temple every year, Yongye field is 5,000 acres, in Weinan County, the county palace has a number of other industries, such as in Shengdaofang and Guiyifang, there are also shops in the East and West Markets, and there are more than one or two, only the West Market has a set of houses, divided into six shops.

There is also a list of items in the house, Duguzhen likes to collect books, a special attic collection of books, there are 8,000 volumes of books in the collection, and there are countless treasures rewarded by other saints and queen mothers in the early years, and no one manages them, and they are thrown in the corridor house, and they have passed more than ten years, and they don't know how they are in condition.

Flipping through the ledger again, Dugu Xinci's brain began to smoke, especially when he saw Jian Xuanqiu Bin's innocent eyes, what do you remember?

On the first day of the ninth month, he received 200 yuan, 1,500 stones, and 100 yuan

On the first day of October, the shops in the two cities gave 100 pieces of money

.....

Dugu Xinci rubbed his head and asked, "How many people are there in the Shen Wangfu opposite?" ”

"Ah, well, King Shen has a concubine, three concubines, four sons and three daughters, and about two hundred servants, right?" Qiu Bin blinked.

"Then let's go and see what gifts are available in the warehouse, and prepare to visit."

"Didn't you say that he would lead the little prince to visit the neighbors today?"

"He's a neighbor," Dugu had a headache, hoping that a fighting man would understand the human scene.

The warehouse is very big and broken, the door is too lazy to lock, push the door into a sour smell, everything is loaded with pearls, rolls of silk, gold and silver are wrapped in silk cloth and put on the case, and you still know how to put it on the case, not just throw it on the ground? Dugu Xinci complained, wouldn't that be more convenient?

"Find a few servants," Dugu sighed.

"Where to find it?" Qiu Jianxuan's face was cute.

"Forget it, has Wu Qilang woken up?"

"That kid is too bad at drinking, and he's still asleep."

"When he wakes up, let him think of a way"

Dugu Xinci looked at the dusty and shattered pearls in the bucket suit, crushed and crushed, twitched a few times in his heart, randomly selected a few boxed jewelry wrapped in silk cloth, threw away the black ash soaked silk cloth, looked at the jewelry box and looked good, opened it to see that it was an ordinary gold and silver hairpin flower or something, and hugged it out.

Let Ah Gou go to drive, let Da Xiong and Qiu Bin go out with a few jars of burning knives, search in the car again, and find a few boxes, about the snow clam paste from Far East Temple Street, rouge and the like, let Qiu Bin stay in the mansion to take care of the hangover people yesterday, etc., and take Ah Dog Da Xiong and go straight to the opposite door Shen Wangfu.

There are more than 200 people in the Shenwang Mansion is different, there are four servants in Tsing Yi at the door, seeing Dugu Xinci coming from the opposite door, he also politely asked Lang Jun what is the matter?

Dugu Xinci also politely asked if King Shen could also be in the mansion? I'm here to visit today.

A servant boy went in to report, and the others also politely invited Dugu Langjun to rest in the door, and Dugu smiled and thanked him.

Let the big bear hug a wooden box, Ah Dog hold two jars of wine, and Dugu Xinci personally used a wooden plate to pack four boxes of jewelry, four boxes of snow clam cream, and some scattered jewelry.

After a while, King Shen actually followed the servant boy who reported to him to greet him, "I was about to go to find you, why did I come back?" ”

"How can you bother Prince Shen to come? The boy came to the house to visit the prince is the number of courtesies"

"Come and bring so many things?" King Shen pretended to be angry.

"There are only two jars of wine for Prince Shen, and these little things are for the princess and the little princess to play with."

"Come on, why should you be polite to the two mansions, this is the little prince of the Liaoyang County Palace, just let him in the door when he visits, and report it? It's so raw."

"The etiquette that should be there still to be talked about" Dugu Xinci said with a smile, and sat down in the living room with King Shen.

King Shen had two sons in the office, so he asked people to call his sons at home to come out to accompany the guests.

"Don't call the prince and the prince, let me shout at the nephew, and the nephew will call a certain uncle?"

"Then it's called uncle?" Dugu is kind and kind.

"My nephew, wait a minute, I will take my nephew to visit the surrounding neighbors and get to know each other."

"There's Uncle Law"

After a while, San Lang Yandu from King Shen's Mansion came out to greet him, and Princess Shen actually came out with him.

"Ha, this is the heir of the Wangfu of Liaoyang County, Dugu Xinci, the nephew came from the Far East, and he came to visit a certain person, the nephew is a talented man who participated in yesterday's system, this is a certain Sanlang, well, how old is the nephew this year?"

"So-and-so is twenty years old"

"That nephew is the elder brother, take care of Saburo more"

"Where, San Lang is a handsome and elegant person, a certain vulgarity, Shang Wang Saburo will carry more support"

"The nephew is really good at talking, the palace of Liaoyang County and the palace of King Shen have been neighbors for more than ten years, and Prince Dugu and King Shen have also been playmates since childhood, and the two families don't need red tape" Princess Shen also smiled, and at first glance she was also a person with eight faces.

Shen Wangfu Saburo was very shy, and Mu Ran stood still and didn't speak.

"It's not too early, so I'll take my nephew to the neighboring mansions first," King Shen got up and said.

"Then it's going to bother my uncle."

"The nephew is going to come to the Shen Palace, and the uncle's mother will cook a few dishes for you."

"The boy has just entered the house, many affairs have not been sorted out, since he is a neighbor, for a long time, he will come to visit his aunt another day, and he should taste his aunt's delicacies" Dugu Xin politely refused.

"Aunt Ru's cooking skills are afraid that you are still far away, today I worked hard, and ran all over the houses in the workshop, to be honest, I haven't visited my neighbors for many years, and today I went with my nephew to mix a familiar face."

"Uncle laughed"

So he left Princess Shen to check the gifts brought by Dugu Xinci, Rao is princess has been rich and noble for many years, and she was surprised to see rare things such as snow clam cream, and secretly thought that this Liaoyang County King had not been in vain for ten years in Liaodong, Hebei Province, who knew that this was the handwriting of Dugu Xinci, a little scholar in this border county.

Qinrenfang is close to the imperial city and palace, and there are several princes and princesses in it, the Tengwang Mansion in the north of the east gate, the Biguo Mansion in the west of the south gate, the Yanguo Mansion in the northeast corner, the Daiguo Princess Mansion in the east of the North Gate, the Jin Wuwei General Cheng Boxian Mansion in the northwest corner, that is, the side of the Lu Guogong Mansion, the cousin of the Qianniu Wei Cheng Peng General, as well as the prince Zhan Shi Wei Kun house, the Zhongshu Sheren Yang Hongwu house, the Tai servant Qing Wang Xijun house, the right Wei Wei to join the army Wu Xun house, to the matter in the Lu Zhen house, the prince Dianshan Lang Weijun house, the left counselor Li Shi house.

A circle down, Dugu Xinci smiled until his face cramped, half of the Thai were on the value, leaving two altars of burning knives as a gift and leaving, the princess of Daiguo and the concubine Zheng Wanjun personally received, the princess of Daiguo was the sister of King Shen and the current saint, thinking that it was the second brother to visit, seeing that it was the heir of the prince of Liaoyang County as the main guest, and was also very surprised, the princess of Liaoyang County was in harmony with her neighbors when she was alive, and she competed to come and go, but the princess has been dead for many years, and the king of Liaoyang County has also been in office for many years, and she only returned to Beijing last year, and there is no movement in Qinrenfang.

declined to stay at the princess of Daiguo's meal, and only ran around at noon, King Shen naturally followed Dugu Xinci into the palace of Liaoyang County.

Dugu Xinci didn't bother to do it himself, so he asked Ah Gou to clean up the remaining ingredients from yesterday at will, and several guards and Wu Qilang, who were hangover last night, also woke up, and everyone ate at will.

King Shen didn't go home, so he stayed in the palace and didn't leave, Dugu Xinci couldn't, took out the tea set and made a pot of tea to entertain him, and won a few praises.

"Originally, Qilang's printing workshop has been busy recently, but I have also seen that this Liaoyang County Mansion is really short of manpower to renovate, I wonder if Qilang has a familiar and reliable person? Ben Langjun wants to hire a few people to take care of the palace" The matter is urgent, Dugu Xinci ignored Prince Shen and asked Wu Qilang.

"If the short-term cleaning and rectification, Qinglongfang has a candidate, and those who live in the palace for a long time must be carefully searched" Wu Qilang smiled bitterly, his printing workshop is still short of manpower?

"Well, I'm tired of Wu Qilang and now go back to the workshop to find some masons, carpenters, handymen, and flower carpenters, and I can start rectifying it tomorrow."

Wu Qilang hurriedly took the order and left.

Dugu Xinci thought about it, and then instructed Ah Gou to set up a car, and prepared to go with Qiu Bin to see the other industries in Shengdaofang and the shops in the East and West Market.

"Zhengqing really ignores mundane matters, and handed over these miscellaneous things to his nephew?" Zhengqing is the word Duguzhen, and the name of King Shen is Yan Chengyi.

"The prince is resting in the mansion?" Dugu Xinci asked.

"I haven't been out for a long time, and today I will accompany my nephew to the end, so I will walk around with my nephew."

Dugu Xinci couldn't, so he went out with a drag oil bottle.

The shops in the West Market were handed over to the Ya Xing to take care of, but there was no mistake, but the three shops in the East Market were handed over to the three old departments of Dugu Wangye, two of which were engaged in silk and one was engaged in medicinal materials. Dugu Xinci is now a white dress, and he went to meet the two shopkeepers.

When the shopkeepers of the two silk shops saw the heirs of the palace coming, they complained that they had suffered serious losses this year and could not pay the rent, and asked the palace if they could take back the shop.

Dugu is kind and knows that Dugu Wang Ye is really kind, and these shops are really used as a supplement to the old department that has followed for many years.

Dugu Xinci rubbed his chin, "That's it, the official taxes of these two shops are paid by the palace, and now they have been subsidized for many years, and now it is not profitable, so it is better to auction it, and the two shopkeepers can also participate in the auction if they are interested."

The two shopkeepers were dumbfounded, and said for a long time that they would think about it in the past two days to see if they could squeeze out the money to make up for the official taxes paid by the palace.

"No need, the two of them will go to the tooth shop with a certain person to see if there is a tooth line willing to take these two shops, since the two are at a loss, calculate how much the loss is, and the palace can also make up for it from the auction proceeds."

The two shopkeepers were a little confused: "Does the prince know about this?" ”

"How can such a trivial matter disturb the prince?" Dugu is kind, but not kind.

The two shopkeepers can't, follow to the tooth shop, ask an official to calculate the value of the two shops, each is worth two thousand guan, Dugu Xinci also secretly sighed that this thing market is really flowing gold and silver, the store of ten steps is worth two thousand guan, and the two houses he bought in Qinglongfang are a hundred times larger than here, and they are worth a thousand guan.

The two shopkeepers pulled Qiu Bin to ask for affection, Qiu Bin sneered, he knew the thoughts of these two old acquaintances, even a silk shop can make more money than a medicinal herb shop, but he complains every year, Dugu Wang Ye can't pull down his face, not only does not collect dividends, but also pays official taxes for them, now I know how powerful the little prince is, that is a figure who plays with hundreds of thousands of people in the Turkic Khanate.

The two shopkeepers saw that things were not harmonious, gritted their teeth and invested in the next shop, and the other was taken back by the palace, and Dugu Xinci was not polite, so he could move this month, and entrust the other one to the tooth store and let him collect the rent on his behalf.

In less than half an hour, I finished dealing with the problems of the shops in the East Market, and when I saw that it was still early, I went to Shengdaofang.

Shengdao Fang is the south of Yanxing Gate, Dugu Xinci and his party have passed through this when they enter Beijing.

Entering the door, there is a world of difference between the Shengdao Fang and the Qinren Fang, and it is also very different from the Qinglong Fang.

Not to mention that the houses are low and there is no high-rise mansion compound, and the square is also full of sewage, and countless ragged soldiers and civilians are as pale as vegetables, and the whole thing is dirty and messy.

Shen Wang Ye covered his nose in the car, gritted his teeth and insisted, Dugu Xinci returned to a smiling look, familiar with this environment.

Coming to the southwest corner, this is a big mansion, although there is no tall mansion wall, there is no ornamental garden tree, but there are more than ten acres in a radius, there are dozens of houses, the door of the house is wide open and unattended, to the door, a nausea and sour smell makes Shen Wang Ye stick out his head and finally can't help vomiting.

Dugu Xinci hurriedly asked Ah Gou to send Prince Shen back to Qinrenfang.

Dugu Xinci got out of the car and walked into the house with Qiu Bin, and Qiu Bin also shouted, "Wang Wulang is not there?" ”

A big man came out of the backyard, with thick eyebrows and a bear's waist, but one leg was lame.

"Uncle Qiu, how can you have time to look for something?" This man has a hippie smile.

"This is the little prince, come and see the house"

"But you want to take it back?" Wang Wulang's face changed greatly.
