Shen Shiliu, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, doesn't know this situation at home, because they can't stay in one place for too long, so they all write letters to send them home, talk about their recent situation, ask their children how they are, and most of them are also worried words.

"This piece of land is basically out of scale, in fact, the closer you get to Kyoto City, the more difficult it is, and this side is still good." Du Xuanmo said that close to Kyoto City, they consider reducing the density, after all, the land price is not low, and there is no need to be entangled in one place.

Shen Shiliu actually felt that this was already very good, and he also went to the shop in the city to take a look, which was already very different, and in the future, this road to transport grain and sell grain would reduce the cost.

Du Xuanmo's idea is also simple, now is the time of peace, and he doesn't need to invest anything, once he catches up with the troubled times to fight, then these grain roads can also ensure the supply of soldiers on the front line, if you want to make this grain road endure for many years, some consciousness is necessary, otherwise the benefits will be taken by him, the emperor is useless, how can the emperor watch him dominate?

"How long will your patrol last?" Shen Shiliu asked, now the self-cultivated land is almost there, although it is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the temperature in winter is not too high, although it is not as good as Kyoto City, but as soon as the weather is cold, she will be lazy.

Du Xuanmo's affairs are still a little unfinished, and since it is an inspection, he can't just listen to these officials' reports, he always has to walk around by himself and see more about the people's livelihood.

"In three days, we'll go to the next place." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu nodded, there are not so many officials as tails, and the rest of the journey can be much more interesting.

Du Xuanmo took a piece of orange pastry and handed it to Shen Pomegranate, saying, "Their little snack has a special taste. ”

Shen Shimei nodded, took a bite, and ate the Cheng Dough Crisp a few times, it was indeed delicious, and then she studied how to make this Cheng Dough Crisp.

"When I get home, if you still want to eat, I'll make it for you." Shen Shiliu said.

Du Xuanmo smiled: "In addition to so many days, I have gained a lot of weight. In the past, every time he went out on an errand, he had to lose weight, and Shen Pomegranate would not lose weight, but this time Shen Pomegranate had to study local snacks and snacks whenever he went to a place, saying that he wanted to bring them back to Kyoto City to spread them.

Shen Shimei's love for cooking is still the same as always, after all, he has been a foodie since his previous life, and his love for food is not only in his bones, but also in his soul.

According to the agreed time, three days later, the two of them set foot on the road, from the small town here to the south, it is a small county town, and there are many small villages below, Du Xuanmo actually walked aimlessly, the place in the south of the Yangtze River is not small, he will not go one by one, just pick a few places to go. And he also thought about this place, the county seat is okay, and the best reflection of the people's livelihood is the small villages below.

Shen Shiliu is also very familiar with rural life, she and Du Xuanmo have both experienced, whether it is the county or the countryside, they can understand the suffering of the common people very much!

"I guess there are a lot of tails in the back." Du Xuanmo said, no one wants anything bad in the place under their jurisdiction, and the officials are also staring at Du Xuanmo, and wherever they go, the people don't dare to speak casually. And there are a lot of village tyrants, who look like they are people from other villages, and they don't want to see them.

Shen Shiliu knew Du Xuanmo's thoughts, but while walking and watching along the way, she also had a lot of insights, after all, the world was big, and what she saw was just a drop in the ocean.

When he arrived in Anwu County, Du Xuanmo temporarily settled.

"I heard that there are more businessmen in Anwu County, so they should be rich." Shen Shiliu said.

Du Xuanmo nodded: "There are a lot of taxes in this county alone, and there are also a lot of collusions between officials and businessmen. ”

Shen Shiliu was speechless: "Although it is said to collude, the common people can live a good life." "Du Xuanmo's collusion here is not derogatory, the government gives the green light to businessmen, some things are easy to do, in the case of not breaking the law, after everyone makes money, the local people can also get benefits, although it is a place where there are many businessmen, but everyone likes to do charity, one Anwu County, everyone must say that there are many people who believe in Buddhism.

Du Xuanmo smiled: "Many local free clinics are also opened by the government, if they didn't have such a vision, this Anwu County is estimated to have been targeted by the imperial court" But as long as it is a win-win situation, there is no need to go online, after all, the people get benefits.

Shen Shiliu smiled, since she came, she wanted to see how the locals did business, Du Xuanmo was busy with research, and she took Mancang around, so she took Xiao Tie to go shopping.

I have to say that Anmu Prefecture is indeed prosperous, and the variety of things it deals in is wider than that of Kyoto Castle, and you can see that this is a good place when you look at the local customs.

As they walked, they found that there was a commotion in front of them, and Shen Shiliu and Xiao Tie stood a little farther away to take a look, but they could also hear what the people inside were arguing about.

"Xu Xiucai, if you want to divorce your wife and take a concubine, you will return all the property of Luo Xiaoniang to the family, you have occupied it, and you still use other people's dowries to marry the younger one, have you read all your sage books into the dog's stomach?" A woman scolded, and although Xu Xiucai on the other side blushed and had a thick neck in front of everyone, she still said: "This is our family's business, what does it have to do with you, Zhao Laopi?" ”

Mrs. Zhao, who was scolded, was also angry, and said: "Luo Xiaoniang is lonely now, you were a thing that plugged in the door earlier, and now you see that there is no one in the house, so you start to spread wild, and you don't want to think about what you were like when you were poor, if it weren't for the Luo family's help, you and your mother would have to go to the street to beg, and now you can bear it, unload the mill and kill the donkey?" If I don't say something fair, you're going to pinch Luo Xiaoniang to death! ”

Shen Shiliu looked at the two arguing, and there was a little woman dressed in plain cloth standing next to her, looking really sad, it should be Luo Xiaoniang. And next to Xu Xiucai stood a bewitching woman in red clothes, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were indeed coquettish, and at first glance she was an old driver in the land of fireworks. Compared with that woman, Na Luo Xiaoniang is indeed a lot of good family.

Xu Xiucai was choked, and then said: "That's also our family's business, you have nothing to do with Luo Xiaoniang, I want you to talk more!" ”

Although the surrounding onlookers also scolded Xu Xiucai, but scolded and scolded, Xu Xiucai's dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and oil and salt did not enter. No matter how much everyone scolded, in the end, Luo Xiaoniang still couldn't get anything, and she had to watch Xu Xiucai take her dowry and spend time with her little wife.

Shen Shiliu couldn't stand it, so he asked loudly: "Report to the official!" ”

As soon as the official was mentioned, Luo Xiaoniang was a little afraid, it was everyone's default rule that women did not enter the yamen, and after entering the yamen, they would be pointed at by others!

That Mrs. Zhao glanced at Shen Shimei, and then said: "Yes, report to the official, this bastard has made up his mind that you don't dare to report to the official, so you dare to belittle you like this!" "She has lived for so many years, and there is still nothing she can't think of, if she doesn't take back those pretenses now, Luo Xiaoniang will have to starve to death on the streets in the future!

When Shen Shiliu heard this, then this Xu Xiucai was really shameless, she thought that there must be shameless people in this world when she was early, but it was so obvious, it was the first time she saw her today, and the degree of shamelessness was second only to Mrs. Qin.

Shen Shiliu walked up to Mrs. Zhao and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, who is the person in the red dress?" But the brothel? ”

Mrs. Zhao nodded: "One of the bitches of Liu Honglou, somehow lost the soul of Xu Xiucai, and the discerning person saw that these two wolf-hearted dogs wanted to occupy Luo Xiaoniang's family property!" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded, and then said loudly: "According to the law, if a lowly woman wants to be good, it is not enough to redeem herself, she has to wash her nationality, and she can only marry if she is replaced by an official status, or only a family with more than five grades is qualified to support a house slave, if not, it is a violation of the law, Xu Xiucai is a 'full reader of sage books', you should know, right?!" She said it so loudly that everyone around her could hear her.

Everyone began to discuss, although there is such a law, but the emperor is far away, and in most cases, he is directly redeemed from the Qinglou kiln, and no one has checked it anyway.

Xu Xiucai said: "Yanliu has taken off his cheap status!" "But when I speak, my expression is very kidney-deficient, and it looks like a lie!

Shen Shiliu sneered, and said to the little lady Naluo: "Little lady, if you want to file a lawsuit, we can go directly to the lawyer, and you don't have to go to the yamen." Besides, whether the woman's cheap status has been taken off or not, the government can find out as soon as it is checked, and it is useless for someone to say a few words with empty teeth and white teeth! The last two sentences were said to Xu Xiucai, and Xu Xiucai was only dumbfounded.

"Who are you, your turn to take care of our family's affairs?" Xu Xiucai began to mess around again.

Shen Shiliu ignored Xu Xiucai, and still asked the little lady Naluo: "Do you want to fight or not, or are you really willing to watch this negative man hug his new love and squander the family property left by your father and mother?" Do you really want to swallow this breath in your heart? Do you really feel sick in your heart? ”

The little lady wiped her tears and said: "It's not that I don't want to fight, but now that I'm penniless, he has taken all the things left by my father and mother into his own hands, and I just want to hire a lawyer and I have no money to make!" ”

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he immediately said: "If you really want to fight, I'll pay the money!" I can't see anyone who is brazen and full of sage books, and ends up doing things that are not as good as pigs and dogs! ”

"Good!" The surrounding onlookers were also sensible, and when they heard Shen Shiliu say this, they all applauded.

Mrs. Zhao stepped forward at this time and said: "It's hard to find, there are too few lawyers in this place, and they are not very familiar with the law."

Hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, Shen Shiliu felt a little difficult, it was also bad to have money and not find talents, looking at Xu Xiucai on the other side with a triumphant appearance, Shen Shimei gritted his teeth angrily.

"If you can't find a lawyer, then I'll come!"

As soon as Shen Shiliu turned around, he saw that Du Xuanmo was back, and he was immediately overjoyed!

Who else is more familiar with the law than Du Xuanmo?

Du Xuanmo looked at Shen Shiliu and said with a smile: "I want to see who has the ability to make my daughter-in-law suffer!" ”

At this time, a voice sounded in Shen Shimei's heart: Your wife-protecting madness is online!
