Chapter 109: The landlord wants to be the pavilion chief
Su Sanniang glanced at Chaolu, and saw that she was obviously changing the topic, so she didn't say much about the Night King, they were just ordinary Li people, and there was a difference of 108,000 miles between them and those emperors and nobles.
"Master Lu has been busy settling the people recently, but do you still have time to help us find a way to plant red fruit trees?" Chaolu smiled at Su Sanniang, "If the ground is freezing today, and the plants don't agree to grow, although the red fruit has seeds that can be used as seeds, I'm afraid it will freeze to death as soon as it is buried in the ground." ”
Chaolu looked at the ground under his feet, and then looked at the snow that had not been cleaned up in the yard, because it had been stepped on and turned into pieces of solid ice, which gradually melted under the sun, and the yard became a water stain.
"That's what I said, but if we don't understand, we can ask him if there is any way, if we really can't find it, then it will be done in the spring of next year." Su Sanniang said, "As for whether he has time, then you really don't have to worry about it, anyway, it's all left to his tenants to do, so he will set up the disaster shed at the entrance of Jiqing Street, which is not far from here, and there is nothing to do in the women's shops on the left and right, so let's go and have a look." ”
Chaolu nodded, explained a few words to Chaoyang, and asked him not to run around, so he went out with Su Sanniang.
After this snow, the temperature in Tianxiang Town has really dropped, and winter is really coming. The snow on the street was not swept by anyone, and it was slippery and slippery by the rut footprints, and people had to worry about slipping when they walked on it, so Su Sanniang just let people slowly drive the carriage forward.
There were no people along the road, and even the shops on the street were ajar, either with their doors hidden or simply closed tightly.
Chaolu is wearing an emerald light green placket, the skirt and cuffs are embroidered with elegant four seasons flowers, this dress is made by Liu Qing specially for her, the four seasons flowers imply the four seasons of peace, Liu Qing is afraid that she will be cold and have some more cotton wool, which will sit in Su Sanniang's carriage with a small furnace She is still hot and sweaty.
When they were about to arrive at the entrance of Jiqing Street, Chaolu and Su Sanniang obviously found that there were groups of half-grown children holding awls or brooms to chisel ice and snow over there, and it was a little strange to look at it like this.
Su Sanniang asked the servants to find a place to park, and walked hand in hand with Chao Lu to the disaster shed, the snow along the road was shoveled clean, and there were no ice slippery feet, it could be seen that it had been handled with care.
Chaolu knew that no one would do such a thing for no reason, since Lu Yixian was here, it was probably Lu Yixian who asked him to do it, so he was very careful.
"I didn't expect Master Lu to look rough, but if you really want to do something, you are still very meticulous."
Chaolu looked at the disaster shed not far away, there were several cauldrons set up in front of the shed to boil water and cook rice, although this disaster shed is simple and convenient, but this is not summer, this shed is not tied up and leaked the wind into it, the people who settle here are blowing the cold, this illness will only be more serious, but if you really want to place these people in the house, you will not find so many vacant houses for a while, if you really put these people in your own home, not many people will be willing. Now these people can have a warm greenhouse to live in, have a hot food entrance, and survive this winter, which is already the kindness of others.
Su Sanniang looked up and saw Lu Yixian shuttling in the crowd.
"If he is really serious, he will do things properly, but I don't know what he is doing this time?" Su Sanniang knows him well, if she wants to say that he pays for it, she believes it, but if he does it so personally, she really doesn't believe it, I'm afraid what kind of idea this person is thinking in his heart.
"It's all like this, and the court doesn't allocate disaster money?"
This heavy snowfall proves that there are as many as half of the dilapidated houses hidden in this usually lively and peaceful Tianxiang Town, and even the heavy snow overnight can't hold on. If the people hadn't found it earlier and the wood had been eaten up again, I was afraid that they would have stoned people to death. Half of the people are displaced! What she saw now was just a Jiqing Street.
"My father-in-law has been doing business in the past few years, in fact, the Liang Dynasty is still very rich, it's just ......" Su Sanniang looked left and right, and then said to Chaolu's ear: "Today's squandering on the saint, and there has been no catastrophe in the past few years, I will build this and that for a while, I heard that today also built a gold-poured jade hall for Concubine Zheng Niangniang in the palace, which costs two silver countless, and this treasury doesn't have much money?" “
Indeed, at the beginning, Li Ting was coaxed by Zheng Yan'er to not know the east, west, north and south, regardless of the opposition of the ministers, the white jade hall built for Zheng Yan'er almost emptied half of the treasury, and Zheng Yan'er came to her in front of her in a fake way to cry that she couldn't stand it, and was ready to dedicate it to her, but the queens of the Liang Dynasty had fixed palaces to distinguish themselves from the concubines. Thinking that she was still confused by her superficial kung fu back then, she blamed Li Tingjiang for insisting on going her own way, but she couldn't see what kind of black heart she was hiding in her heart.
Chaolu was thinking about the events of the year, and at the same time heard the rest of Su Sanniang's words.
"As a result, this year's snow fell on most of the land of the Liang Dynasty, and some places continued for a long time, causing a catastrophe, and the silver two were limited to naturally come closely. Otherwise, such a major event, even if the silver has not arrived, the county will send an urgent mail, and our county commander has not received anything so far, and most of the money will not come down. ”
Chaolu looked at the steaming heat in the distance, and the refugees lined up to get hot water and porridge, their faces full of gloom and decadence. Yes, it's just a heavy snowfall that has made these people who originally had families become refugees with insufficient food and clothing, and no one can be in a good mood.
Su Sanniang called Lu Yixian from afar, he handed over the work in his hand to the people around him, and hurriedly ran towards them, raising his hand and sweating on his head, and when he saw them, he deliberately smiled, "You came to me?" ”
Chaolu and Su Sanniang looked at the people in front of them together, the current Lu Yixian has completely lost the exquisite bearing of the previous brocade clothes, and he is dressed in green cloth.
In fact, this Lu Yixian, although Chaolu called him Master Lu, he was actually only in the year of the crown.
"Of course I'm here to find Lu Dashanren!" Su Sanniang glanced at him, "What are you doing here?" I haven't seen this in you for a long time! But when I saw it, there must be something! ”
In this snow disaster, her Su family also donated money, and also sent someone to help, and the people of the main family usually show up, but they really don't do things so personally.
Lu Yixian saw that she was so determined, and she knew that she couldn't hide her sister from childhood to adulthood, so she only whispered: "Aren't I thinking about being a pavilion chief?" ”
Chaolu was very surprised when he heard this, is this Lu Yixian planning to abandon business and become an official? But this pavilion chief sounds like an official, but if he really wants to go further, it's really impossible.
There are three streets in this Tianxiang Town, and the Liang Dynasty's placement of the place is to put a pavilion on each street, called "Du Ting", which is in charge of the security guards of a street, and then manages some staying passengers, governing civil affairs, and so on. Most of these were made up of people who had completed their military service.
