Chapter Eighty-Eight: Shen Huashan is back
"This time, there were also officials from the household department who went to the envoy, and they heard a lot about the trade routes of Xining Road and Xiyan along the way, and I think the imperial court has the intention of opening the Xining trade route." Shen Zeru talked about this important matter, if there is anything worth paying attention to in this trip, in addition to the Xiyan stronghold, it is the investigation of the household officials. Shen Zeru sensitively sensed that this was a big matter, but it was a pity that Shen Huashan was still in front of the stage to control the water, and now it was useless for a few of them to discuss this matter, and they couldn't make up their minds.
Once the Xining Trade Road is opened, it involves Xining Road, Lingnan Road, Jiangnan Road, Hanoi Road and Jingzhao, which is a major event related to the four provinces and one government. With such a big project and decision, it is estimated that the imperial court will not make a decision easily, but it is indeed an obvious message that the household officials went to explore the way, which is another meaning.
The emperor's will is unpredictable, maybe this matter will be implemented soon, then it must be ahead of others! Hearing this news, Shen Zeyuan's first thought was how to ensure that the Shen family could get great benefits from this matter, no way, the true nature of a general businessman.
This matter is so important, Shen Zejing and the others really can't make any decisions, so they have to repair the book to tell Shen Huashan about it, waiting for his decision.
In addition, the brothers and uncles also talked about the three princes and the Northern Xinjiang, and Shen Zeru and others congratulated Shen Zeru on winning the title of Doctor of Chess, and left Shen Zeru late. , Shen Zeru also asked a little about the exam, and knew that this cousin was the most appropriate, so he was not worried.
Qingzhuju, Semi-idle Ju and Jingqiaoju and others all received the special products that Shen Zeru brought back from Xiyan, and they were all overjoyed. Shen Ning knew that this sixth cousin uncle had performed well in Xiyan, and he would definitely increase his official position next year, and the Shen family was steadily rising, and Shen Ning was also very happy.
Regarding the matter of the Xining Trade Road, she did not think about it as much as Shen Zeyuan, although the imperial court intended to open the Xining Trade Road, but in the end it could not be completed. In the previous life, first the three kings seized the heir, then the Xiyan civil strife, and then the war between Dayong and Xiyan, this trade route has not been opened, although the Shen family has scattered most of the family wealth in Xining Road, but the Xining trade road is still not opened. Now that so many things have changed, Shen Ning doesn't know what will happen to Xining Business in this life.
The New Year is just a few days away, and the palace is also in a joyful atmosphere. The Third Prince has been moved back to the Third Prince's Mansion from the Shang Pharmacy, but he still has to lie on the bed, his face is not so pale, and his spirit is slowly recovering.
The crown prince, the second prince, the fifth prince and other brothers all sent condolence gifts, and Xian Maoxin, who survived the Qinling assassination, came to visit the third prince's mansion after reporting to Bian Zhihe the specific situation of the baggage sent to northern Xinjiang.
Shangguan Yongping didn't say much, just looked at Xian Maoxin smiling a little weakly, and sighed in his heart, he pointed to the various supplements sent by Emperor Changtai and his inner servants, and wanted to talk to Xian Maoxin.
"This injury is worth it! My father has been very good to me these days, and the eyes of the second and fifth children are red when they see it! It's a delight! Shangguan Yongping's voice was weak, but he could hear that he was in a good mood.
The matter in the north was finally revealed, and he won the pity of Emperor Changtai, who sighed a little that Xian Maoxin's ability not only found so many thieves, but also came up with the use of the bow and crossbow of the military department to cover up. Although it has lost more than half of the people in the Three Princes' Mansion, it is still worth it, those people are all mediocre talents, and it is not much use to keep them.
Xian Maoxin looked at the weak third prince, he didn't expect him to be so ruthless to himself, and the bow and arrow wounds and knife wounds around him were still faintly oozing blood. But it is precisely because of this that the whole thing went so smoothly, and because of his ruthlessness, Xian Maoxin was impressed by him! Compared with the stupidity and confusion of Northern Xinjiang, the current three princes seem to have changed a person, it seems that the more critical the situation, the more tempering a person's mind, Xian Maoxin also sighed a little, and decided to assist him well.
"Your Highness, rest well, it's almost the New Year, and the court is very calm." Xian Maoxin advised Shangguan Yongping to recuperate, and now that the mission has returned to Beijing, everyone is preparing for the New Year, and there is nothing to plan.
It's almost the New Year, Shen Yu and Shen An are preparing for the New Year, and there are three children chattering on the side, busy and busy. Shen Ning and Shen Mi still assisted in handling the New Year's gift, which helped the two of them a lot. Shen Huashan should not come back for the New Year, Shen Zegaoyuan will not come back in Lingnan, and even Shen Yuxian can't rush back for the New Year because of important things in Xiangzhou, so the reunion atmosphere of the Shen family is greatly reduced.
Shen Ning has been a little depressed recently, but she is depressed about another thing.
At first, Qiu Wu almost bumped into Shen Yuhong and others in Qinling, and after returning to Jingzhao, Qiu Wu once again suggested that Shen Ning explain the matter of the grasshopper to Shen Zejing clearly, and if it is in harmony, there will be a conflict, and Qiu Wu feels that it is not okay to go on like this.
Shen Yuhong's investigation of the people in the mansion has not stopped, and the matter of Qiu Wu's leave to Anjing Town last time has been knocked on the side by him several times, and it is estimated that it will not be too long to be exposed. If he hadn't merged the grasshopper and the stream earlier, it would have been much easier for him to act, Shen Ning said that he would consider it.
After listening to Qiu Wu's words, Shen Ning also felt that it was time to hand over the grasshopper, lest the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple in the future. Anyway, the role of the grasshopper is also to help the Shen family spy on the news, and the people around the second brother do the same thing, but how to say this matter, the father and brother and others will not be too frightened? After explaining the matter of the grasshopper, how will grandfather and father think of her?
Shen Ning couldn't grasp this accurately, but he had already decided to find a suitable opportunity to tell Shen Zejing about the grasshopper before the New Year, fortunately, he already had the foundation of the previous daughter-in-law's book and the things arranged by Qingzhuju, Shen Ning thought of this, and began to feel that maybe things were not so difficult to do.
Shen Ning hasn't had a chance to talk to Shen Zejing yet, on the twenty-sixth day, Shen Huashan, who was supposed to be in front of the stage to control the water, actually returned to the Shen family!
At this time, everyone was pleasantly surprised, and it was very strange, didn't they say that they couldn't go back to Jingzhao for the New Year? Why did you return to Jingzhao without Dingding? I didn't send anyone to tell my family, and everyone was surprised.
Shen Huashan said that Emperor Changtai temporarily decided to summon him back to Jingzhao to report on the situation of river management, he came back with Jin Wuwei, who went to Hanoi Province to do business, galloping all the way, thinking that he would soon be able to reach Jingzhao, sending a letter is a superfluous move, maybe others have not arrived in Jingzhaoxin, in addition, he came back this time for a short time, the second day of the new year is about to set off to the front of the stage, the time is very tight, and he instructed his children, nephews and grandchildren to prepare to report on the important events of the year, and the twenty-ninth will be arranged in the study during the discussion.
