In the last half of his previous life, the scene Jiang Muyuan had seen was even more cruel than now.

Natural and man-made disasters, wars are continuous, and there is no anger on the faces of the people.

In places where the famine is severe, let alone gnawing on tree bark, it is not uncommon to eat the child.

And now, it has not reached such a grim point.

The people of the capital are getting up their spirits to live, and when it enters the waxing moon, it will soon be Laba, and then it will be the small year, Chinese New Year's Eve, and the new year will have a new atmosphere.

In other state capitals, there are places that are more energetic than the capital after the war, and there are also those that are as miserable as Lingbei.

However, they can all be saved.

Bold, thunderous means, although layers of pain, but can cut a way, given time, the prospect is promising.

If you continue to toss with a blunt knife like this, not to mention that the people can't stand it, the officials won't be able to stand it.

Jiang Muyuan glanced at his hand, should he cut this knife?

Wu Ye leaned against the city wall, looked at the enthusiastic business of the vendors below for a while, and said: "Little grandfather, your current state of mind is very similar to me at that time."

You came to me at that time and told me so many stories, don't look at me and agreed to leave Yecheng in two days, but before I made up my mind, I was very entangled.

I was burdened by the intricate meridians within the Zhou family, and there were too many things I wanted to scruple and had to scruple about, so I couldn't exert my fists and feet, so I could only watch.

'When it is judged, it is judged', these are the four words you once said to me, and I will advise you now.

Little grandfather, think about the people of the world, and also think about your parents, wives and children. ”

Jiang Muyuan's back was tense, and he clenched his fists little by little, and then slowly let go, and the whole person relaxed.

The muscles relaxed, but the mood was completely different.

He was in the center of imperial power, and he knew how difficult this road would be, but he still had to go, and if he hesitated, how hesitant the Empress Dowager would be.

"Let's go, let's go to Shuntianfu first." Jiang Muyuan said, went down the steps down the city wall, and walked towards the north of the city.

East Street is a place that Jiang Muyuan is extremely familiar with.

Outside Suxiang Building, the little second brother was busy greeting guests, and when he saw Jiang Muyuan who was hitting the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Little grandfather, have you returned to Beijing?" ”

"Just came back," Jiang Muyuan replied, "Business is okay?" ”

"Cheekily, if our Suxianglou's business is not okay, there will be few profitable businesses in the capital." The little second brother said.

Jiang Muyuan smiled.

The second brother asked again: "It's been rumored outside that the little prince has come back early, is it true?"

Many people came to us to ask, but we didn't see him.

Oh, the little mouth is fast, isn't this something unspeakable? ”

Jiang Muyuan said: "You better hurry up and call the guests to go, what's the news, will your Suxianglou still fall behind others?" ”

Xiao Er smiled innocently and turned around.

Wu Ye also laughed and said, "I kind of understand the hobby of the little prince, and it's very pleasant to see people doing business prosperously." If I have leisure in the future, I will also open a teahouse, sit there all day long, drink tea and eat peanuts, and feel comfortable. ”

Jiang Muyuan couldn't help laughing.

That is to say, the fifth master is not an idle person, how can there be any free time.

But Master Friday is right, doing business is booming and living a lively life, who is not happy to see it?

All their persistence and hard work just hope that everyone can live such a life.

In the Shuntian Mansion, Jiang Muyuan saw Shao Fangde, who was about to go out.

I haven't seen it for half a year, Shao Fu Yin's hair is mostly white, silver and black are sandwiched together, and he looks ten years older.

Shao Fangde also saw him, so he didn't get into the sedan chair, and came over and said: "Grandpa Guo went out, and it will probably be dark before he comes back, I just want to go to the Liubu Yamen, and the little grandfather is together?" ”

Lord Shao had a bitter stomach, suffocated in his stomach and swayed all the way, and when he reached the outside of the sixth department, he pulled Jiang Muyuan to pour it all the way as soon as he got off the sedan chair.

"What the elders mean is that Gyeonggi will transfer some surplus grain to Lingbei, and then talk about it after this winter, it's not that I can't bear to transport those things in the warehouse, but I can't transport them right now, and I'm afraid that it won't be enough," Shao Fangde said, "Where will Gyeonggi have any harvest this year?" When it was time to harvest grain, he was surrounded and beaten by Pomden, and the farmland was ruined by rebels and bandits.

The grain collected by other state capitals could not enter Gyeonggi at first, and all of them were sent to Jiangnan, and then they didn't even think about it.

Now that the saint has moved the capital, we are not even a Jingshi here, little grandfather, where will the grain and salt be taxed next year? Is it a new capital?

I, the Shuntian Mansion Yin, where will I open the court in the future?

Ay! Don't talk about the future, look at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow heavily in the capital, and this year may not be good! ”

Shao Fangde's mouth stopped when he reached Sangong, and when he saw Cao Taibao looking at him, he sneered: "The bosses are hard, and I am also anxious, and the saint refuses to come back, it is not easy for any of us, right?" ”

Cao Taibao touched his beard and snorted.

They are all fellow travelers, so don't embarrass anyone.

From the number of secondments, to the escort distance, and the follow-up distribution, the group of people discussed until the snow was falling outside, which was considered to have finalized the plan.

You can't ignore Yeongbuk, but you can't ignore the situation in Gyeonggi, and you can't go on a business trip halfway, so you have to consider all aspects.

It was decided, Jiang Muyuan and Shao Fangde went to Shuntian Mansion first.

After a while, the yamen was ready to disperse, and the little official came in with a few documents and handed them to Master Fu.

Master Fu hurriedly looked at the whereabouts, picked out one of the holy edicts, and after reading it, said: "The saint urges me to go south with the little grandfather." ”

Cao Taibao said: "The saint is anxious, the little grandfather has just arrived, and the edict he urged has also arrived." ”

Mrs. Feng, who had been half-lying down due to physical reasons, asked Mrs. Fu for an edict, and while looking at it, he was annoyed: "The preparations for the ceremony are smooth, and it will be held at the beginning of the new year, and the throne will be changed, so let me leave immediately and arrive in the new capital before the ceremony......

It's not a month since it's full, and the old man's old bones are scattered faster! ”

Xu Yan was writing the overall disaster relief regulations just determined, and when he heard the words, he persuaded: "Taifu, the little grandfather didn't mention that everyone should hurry south today. ”

"Also, according to the old man's opinion, the Empress Dowager doesn't want to go," Mrs. Feng sighed after speaking, "But how long can we stay here?" In the end, we all have to go, the north and the south are divided, the influence of the court is too great, the saint insists on not returning, or even moving the capital, we can't really stiffen here, the ceremony can't catch up, and when the spring begins, the shelves have to be dispersed. ”

Cao Taibao stroked his beard, sighed and shook his head.

Master Fu wanted to say something, but a rumor came from outside, saying that Xiao Zeng's father-in-law was here, and the empress dowager invited the third prince into the Cixin Palace.
