Chapter 212 Food and clothing continued
Shen Nanxun hid in the crowd and watched coldly, and one of the people in his entourage wanted to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Shoukang.
"Don't make trouble outside, listen to your master."
Shen Nanxun didn't care in the end, there are too many hard-working people in the world, he doesn't have to take care of these one or two, "Quietly stuff him with some broken silver." ”
He can manage it for a while, and as for the first life, he doesn't know what he should do.
Seeing the prefect Lord Liu, Shen Nanxun first gave a letter of worship and talked about the main purpose of coming over this time.
Lord Liu read the post repeatedly, and said to Shen Nanxun that three points should be left, and the remaining three points had to be guessed by Shen Nanxun.
"The harvest of Chengdu Mansion is better than the other three roads of the fourth road, but it is only some, and I really can't give much to the world."
"There is a fixed number of taxes every year, and there is also a fixed number of harvests, and there are some precautions to be left against the lack of harvest, if the prince has any good way, the villain can help the son, but, if you just want it, forgive the villain for being incompetent, and you really can't take it."
This is indeed the case now, and Shen Nanxun is also the person in charge of the government.
"I do have something I want to discuss with Lord Liu, why the harvest of Chengdu Mansion is nearly 30% more than that of other Sanlu."
"About, Chengdu Mansion is smooth and rainy, and there are few famine years."
Shen Nanxun frowned, this is used to deceive ghosts, it is true that there are few famine years, but the wind and rain are not necessarily smooth, and there are a lot of flash floods in Chengdu.
"Lord Liu, this is a little out of sight."
Lord Liu stood up and walked to Yutu to stand still, and Shen Nanxun also walked over.
"Look here, a flying sand canal has been built at the junction of the two mountains, if the prince has time, the lower official can accompany the prince to take a look."
"Since Lord Liu said it, I must want to find out."
The two of them stood silently in front of the map, Shen Nanxun looked at the four roads of Sichuan and Shaanxi again, the mountains of Chengdu Mansion are more and higher than the other three roads, which also creates a larger river drop here, and the water flow is more turbulent.
Moreover, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and although there are no mountains in the north, the terrain is higher.
With such a terrain, it is difficult to discharge floodwater once it backs up.
But in recent years, Shen Nanxun has never heard of a huge flood on Chengdu Fu Road, although there are flash floods from time to time, the area that can be affected and the consequences caused are small-scale.
The place that Lord Liu pointed to is not far from Fucheng, just at the foot of the mountain, and I have only seen those who dig ditches and build ditches to drain and discharge floods in the gentle area.
As far as Shen Nanxun knows, including what he saw along the way, the surrounding mountains are mostly stone mountains, stone mountains, even if they dig it, they can't dig it, how to build a canal.
For all these reasons, Shen Nanxun was really whetted and was very curious about the flying sand canal in Lord Liu's mouth.
Lord Liu is not a sociable person, just look at the fact that he has not moved his nest in Chengdu Mansion can guess one or two, this is not a flattering and powerful person.
Shen Nanxun is also a person from Kyoto who has a title on him.
Lord Liu didn't prepare the banquet in the evening, but just prepared three more dishes according to his usual meal.
"The prince suddenly came to the cold house, and the officials were terrified, and where they didn't go, they still looked at Haihan."
This person said that he was afraid, but Shen Nanxun didn't look at him at all panic, but he was afraid that he was still cursing him for coming uninvited.
"Lord Liu is polite, it's abrupt."
Of course, Shen Nanxun is the same, he said abruptly, but he didn't apologize at all, he sat down directly, and ate unceremoniously, he didn't eat a mouthful of hot food on the road in the past two days, Shen Nanxun really wanted to eat some hot soup and rice.
Lord Liu didn't expect Shen Nanxun to be a son, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't even sit in the main seat politely and politely, and he ate when he sat down.
Originally, there were not many dishes prepared, and Shen Nanxun's meal was fast.
Seeing this, Lord Liu still has a heart to slander, for fear that he will not have to eat leftovers if he slows down.
After eating at night, Shen Nanxun put two cups of hot tea into his stomach, and looked at the picture for a long time before talking about what he saw in the market in the afternoon.
"What is the origin of this Li family, who actually calls himself Wang Fa?" Shen Nanxun asked.
"The Li family has been in Chengdu Fu Road for generations, and half of Shu Jin is in the hands of the Li family, specializing in the business of dignitaries."
"In this way, the Li family is buying power with money? I don't know ...... Lord Liu."
"The prince of the world said cautiously, a certain poverty is so poor, with a clear conscience." Lord Liu said.
"Then when the street is noisy, why don't any officials ask?"
"Chengdu Fulu is located in the border, with a large population, but it is not very civilized, and this official also pays attention to a person who does not raise officials and does not hold accountable, such a thing, the people do not report, how the government manages, just make noise on the street."
"Why doesn't Lord Liu educate the people?"
"Has the prince seen beggars talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?" Lord Liu asked rhetorically, "A certain heart is powerless. ”
Shen Nanxun didn't know why.
"The prince came from the battlefield, will you be courteous to the soldiers on the battlefield? It must not be possible, and survival is the most important thing. ”
"Here, too, food and clothing are already very difficult for the people, and it takes a lot of effort to live and work in peace and contentment, and the law is not so important."
"The officials are not talented, and they only want to rule the people from natural disasters and have food and clothing."
Shen Nanxun felt that he had been in Kyoto for too long, and he had listened to too much talk, forgetting the difficulties of the people at the bottom and the fundamentals of being an official.
What is an official, and what is an official? For the glory of the ancestors? For the shadow of a wife? That's all right, but we can't forget it, for the dawn people.
Shen Nanxun was deeply moved, "Adults are highly talented. ”
There was a rare embarrassment on the face of the serious and upright Lord Liu, "The prince of the world is too famous." ”
Only then did Shen Nanxun realize that Lord Liu's hands were a little rough and excessive, and Shen Nanxun could tell whether the person who practiced martial arts was using a gun or a knife, but he couldn't tell what these calluses were in Lord Liu's hands.
Lord Liu also felt Shen Nanxun's gaze, shrunk his hand into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The prince is smiling." ”
Looking down again, I saw the red mud on the side of the writing, it was not raining in the city, and the slime could not stick to the red mud with grass, I was afraid that this person was going out of the city.
"Lord Liu is sympathetic, why do you want to laugh."
Lord Liu was melancholy when he heard this, "When Xia Guan was a classmate with Ziyan, he was also obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and when he arrived here, all that skill was used to draw maps, and there was less pen and writing, but more digging stones and plowing fields." ”
Shen Nanxun didn't make a sound, he could understand and feel Lord Liu's loss, but he didn't feel regret, it can be seen that he just longed for the past days, but he didn't regret his choice now.
"It's hard to grow in the mountains, and the livestock is not much needed, some of the land relies on brute force, and the tools that can be used are limited, but the lower officials have also changed two appliances from the south of the Yangtze River, and they are trying, if they can be used, it will save a lot of trouble."
Lord Liu's face changed from melancholy, but his spirit soared.
