Chapter 265: Political Opinions
"Shen Shu-you have too much strength...... Shi Qingqi, who was encircled in the crook of his arm, felt the pain of suffocation, and had to struggle twice.
Only then did Shen Shu notice that his actions were too rough, and let go of her in a hurry, like a child who was afraid of breaking his baby.
"I'm sorry...... I, I'm too impulsive. ”
Looking at the guilt on Shen Shu's face, Shi Qingqian actually felt that he was unprecedentedly cute.
Maybe the only person in this world who has seen Shen Shu's cute appearance is himself, right?
"It's okay...... it's okay," Shi Qingqian thought, his face turned slightly red, and he had to quickly change the topic, "By the way, Shen Shu, why did you suddenly come here tonight?" ”
Under normal circumstances, according to the rules of etiquette, the men and women who are scheduled to marry each other cannot see each other for at least three days, saying that they are afraid of 'rushing to be happy', tonight is just the night of the third day, it seems that Shen Shu still can't wait for tomorrow morning, so he secretly ran over at night.
Shen Shu seemed to sigh softly, he took Shi Qingqian's hand, and said softly: "Qi'er, I'll leave tomorrow...... Go to Gangnam. ”
Hearing this, Shi Qingqian heard a 'chuckle' in his heart.
Although Shen Shu was going to leave the capital and go to work in the Jiangnan region, she had already been mentally prepared, but the moment this incident really happened, it would really make people's hearts tight.
Leaving tomorrow? Going to Gangnam? Why is it so urgent......
Shi Qingqian didn't know that in fact, Emperor Shen Lun's decision to send Shen Shu to the Jiangnan region was also out of his protection. As long as Shen Shu remained in the imperial court for a day, the people of the Mo family and the henchmen of the crown prince Shen Xuan would regard him as a great rival. Especially that Shen Xuan...... How many small movements have you made behind Shen Lun's back these days?
Since Prime Minister Mo Ruan proposed it openly and secretly, Shen Lun decided that it would be better to push the boat with the water.
Besides, Shen Lun sent Shen Shu to serve in Jiangnan, and he had other plans......
"How long?"
Shi Qing asked sneeringly. Unhappiness is simply impossible to hide.
Shen Shu replied softly, "Hmm...... Two years at the least, four years at the most. ”
Actually, Shen Shu had already said it, but Shi Qingqian couldn't help but ask again. She shook her head, feeling that she was a little too petty, how could there be a man who didn't go out to 'work hard for his career' from ancient times to the present?
She raised her head again, revealing a relieved expression, reached out and patted Shen Shu's shoulder gently, "Okay, I know!" You must behave well, and don't live up to the emperor's trust and expectations! ”
Jiangnan has always been a place of commercial prosperity, although there is no so-called 'heavy agriculture and suppression of business' policy in this era, but due to the restrictions of the times and traditions, commerce has not prospered to an amazing level - of course, except that Jiangnan is prominently prosperous in commerce.
She paused and continued: "The fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River is a land of Yin people's fortune, and the emperor sent you over to govern it, and he must trust your talent to govern it better." ”
Shen Shu looked at Shi Qingqian and always felt that she seemed to be very familiar, but he couldn't believe that a little woman could have such vision and ambition, but he still asked in a mysterious way: "Qian'er, in your opinion, if you are sent to Jiangnan...... How would you do that? ”
This is not groundless.
Shi Qingqian's fiefdom - Baoying County, is located in the Jiangnan region to communicate the north-south traffic place, in the future Shi Qingqian can go to Baoying County to live at any time, although the woman does not need to govern her fiefdom in person, but speaking of which, she is still the county lord of Baoying County.
"Oh, where do I know all this, it's all written in books...... Let's talk about it. Shi Qingqian smiled shyly, of course she understands more or less! After all, she was a liberal arts student in her previous life, "I think so...... Agriculture is the foundation of the country, business is the backbone of the country, there are many water systems in the south of the Yangtze River, dense like a network, and the land is divided into small pieces by water veins, which is not suitable for farming. ”
Shen Shu nodded in amazement.
The dispute between farmers and merchants has never been fierce, because everyone feels that agriculture is the foundation of the country, and without agriculture, there will be no food, so it is an indisputable fact to support agriculture. Shen Shu has always felt that there should be strong support for business in the Jiangnan area, but no one has ever agreed.
Unexpectedly, today, Shi Qingqian's thoughts are exactly the same as his own.
He was surprised and happy in his heart, and asked a question that an official in the court had asked him: "Then, what if the business in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and you don't listen to the control of the imperial court?" ”
"It's not a problem," Shi Qingqian thought for a moment and replied, "Jiangnan has no agricultural support, eating has become a big problem, the imperial court can sell grain at a low price, the condition is that Jiangnan's taxes are appropriately increased without delay, as long as the imperial court holds the life of Jiangnan, it can have a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship." This...... It's more secure than Jiangnan grain being able to produce and sell itself, right? ”
Shen Shu nodded with satisfaction, and there was more admiration and praise in his eyes.
Shi Qingqian was really embarrassed by him, and scratched his head, "I, I'm talking nonsense, I don't know much about this national event...... If I'm wrong, don't laugh at me! ”
"No, no, no, you'er," Shen Shu stretched out his hand and gently put it on Shi Qingqian's shoulder, "What you said is what I thought." You're really great, you're really good. ”
Shi Qingqian's old face turned red, in fact...... She also 'cheated', but since God arranged it like this, she had to bear it!
However, Shen Shu's praise was obviously not over, he suddenly showed a sly smile, stretched out his hand and pointed at his chest, "Yes, it is the person I fancy." ”
"Poof......" Shi Qingqian couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, "I really don't know if you're praising me or yourself." ”
"It's you, naturally."
Shen Shu swore so much that people couldn't see any flaws.
"Okay, okay, you say yes." Shi Qingqian was tired from standing, and smiled helplessly and sat down on the side of his desk.
She stretched out her hand and suddenly touched the peace charm she had begged for under the Bodhi tree in the temple during the day today, so she took it out, handed it to Shen Shu casually, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem...... You took this, and we got it when we went to the temple today...... I didn't expect you to leave tomorrow, and I said I'd give it to you in a few days, but since you're here, let's take it with you......"
A surprise flashed in Shen Shu's eyes, and he took the simple peace talisman made of the trunk of the Bodhi tree from Shi Qingqian's hand.
Shi Qingqian's residual temperature was still there, so Shen Shu couldn't help but rub it a few more times.
"Thank you."
