Chapter 363: Showing off comes at a price
Lizhou, Zhulan wrote a reply, she was not in a hurry to find a fast horse to send back, and prepared some food to send back together.
In the past month, the family has not bought less things, Lizhou City is close to the border, although there has just been a big war, there are a lot fewer foreign merchants in the entire border, but there are also some, cough cough, but Lizhou City is too poor and no foreign businessmen are willing to come.
Zhulan bought a lot of dried fruits and jujubes in Sichuanzhou, and bought a lot, but the fur of this month was not good, but she didn't sell it.
Zhulan asked Liu Ya to call Steward Ding and handed the letter to Steward Ding, "You can pack up some dried fruits and jujubes and other foods to send to the dart shop." ”
Steward Ding borrowed the letter, "Does the housewife have anything else to explain?" ”
Zhulan took the written list, her heart hurt, a large amount of money, "Indeed, you take the two little guys Winter Solstice and Xiaohan to Sichuan to buy tea sets, dishes and some flowers back, this is a list, you buy it according to what is written on it." ”
Steward Ding took a look at it and bought a lot of things, "I sent a letter and set off with the winter solstice and Xiaohan." ”
"Hmm."
Steward Ding walked out of the yard with the letter, although things were much more done than before, but he didn't feel tired at all, who would have thought that he jumped from the housekeeper of the family to the housekeeper of the Zhizhou family, when he was resold, he was desperate, thinking that he would be sold to the Shangjia family, and he could only be a grandson in the future.
Yazi, who used to scold him, now sees him Ding Ye Ding Ye Ding Ye screaming and not saying anything, and he is not compensating.
It's a pity that it's useless to please him, thinking of the scene where the owner of the tooth shop came to the door in person, it should be, let them think crookedly, but the master really cares about the housewife, and he quickly realized that the words of this housewife are better than the master!
In the capital, Zhou Shuren's excerpt also went to the emperor's hand, and the emperor not only had Zhou Shuren's excerpt in his hand, but also a more detailed report from the spies.
The emperor was lying on the small kang outside, and Zhou Shuren was the first to see the fold.
Zhou Shuren's excerpt did not say a word of nonsense, at the beginning of the explanation of how much money was spent on the road, how much grain and seeds were purchased, and what he did after arriving in Lizhou, from distributing the first batch of grain to building roads and digging ponds, and writing about farming, chickens and pigs, etc., all explained very clearly, and wrote the most about the apple trees, and said the plan to build the apple town.
After reading the excerpt, the emperor picked up the excerpt of the spy report, filtered through the sycophants of the first few sentences and looked at the key points, the excerpt of the report was more detailed, not only what Zhou Shuren did, but also the account books, as well as Zhou Shuren's itinerary, where he went and who he met, were very detailed.
The thick excerpts are all Zhou Shuren's information.
The emperor compared the two folds and threw them to the prince, "Look at it, our Lord Zhou not only stabilized Lizhou City, but also wanted to build Lizhou into a rich state!" ”
He is really looking forward to it, well, he can look forward to the future tax revenue of Lizhou City, he is happy that he has a good vision, look, there are so many people, he is optimistic about Zhou Shuren.
After the prince browsed, he saw the point, "Father, the fruit tree planted by Lord Zhou's mother first?" ”
The emperor smiled, "Don't underestimate the woman, our lady of Lord Zhou is a good hand at grabbing money, the three houses in Pinggang, the lady of Zhou bought one thousand eight hundred taels, and now it has more than quadrupled, son, my father tells you, don't underestimate any woman, your mother is afraid of being ruthless." ”
When the emperor thought that the house was his now, his heart was very beautiful, and this was the first time that the house could be rewarded in exchange for money!
Prince, "......."
This is the same person as the queen mother he knows? His mother is obviously virtuous and virtuous, gentle and loving!
The emperor looks like a son you don't understand, and when your mother was furious, I slipped away from the wall, "Okay, you change Lord Zhou's excerpts, you know how to change it!" ”
The prince nodded, he knew that his father was disgusted with excerpts full of nonsense, and he said several times to let him write the key points, but there were more nonsense, and his father's angry teeth were itching, and he naturally hoped that the ministers would feel it, every time he wanted to read the excerpts of the place, his father would add a lot of nonsense to it, according to his father's intentions, and the ministers would not listen to it, so they would hurt each other, anyway, the father was sitting, and the ministers were standing and listening!
The prince thought to himself, he also stood and listened, remembered the minister's note in his heart, and thought about Lord Zhou's excerpts, it was really pleasing to watch, not to mention that his father liked Lord Zhou, he also liked it very much.
In Lizhou City, Zhou Shuren went home at dawn for the first time, and dinner was not ready yet.
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to change into his regular clothes and said the contents of the letter, Zhou Shuren said that he knew, and then it was gone.
Zhulan knew that this would be the case, and saw Zhou Shuren frowning, "Something difficult?" ”
Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan to sit down, "It's not difficult, it's just that I heard you mention Mingyun and Rongchuan, I think of the academy, the people of Lizhou City, and there are still talents, but now the people are struggling to eat, where is the money to study, and some cultivators will have to slow down for a few years, and the students will be delayed." ”
If only a few people take the test next year, the whole Lizhou will be famous again.
Zhulan, "So you want to run a college?" ”
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "No, there is an official school in the state city, but there are only a few people in the official school in Lizhou City. ”
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren not only for the sake of students, "The books you want to copy are rare on the market!" ”
Zhou Shuren smiled, or Zhulan knew him best, "Yes, let me tell you, our fellow acquaintance Chen is very knowledgeable, and there are a lot of books at home, you see, the rarer the book, the more expensive it is, and when the copy is done, you can let people take it to the bookstores in various states and cities to sell, and the silver in exchange for pen, ink, paper and labor costs are used for students to study, such as subsidized pen, ink and paper, yes, and the cost of food, housing and transportation when taking the exam, one stone!" ”
Zhulan thought to herself, Zhou Shuren didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, "It's really hard for you to still be thinking about Master Chen's collection of books in your busy schedule." ”
Zhou Shuren, "Who let him show off what he has read, you say you show off, and like to ask me if I have seen it, as if I have pressed me in reading, he can feel better in his heart, I have been smiling for many days, and finally caught the opportunity to pit him, what do you think of me?" ”
Zhulan, "........ How do you convince Master Chen to get the book out? ”
