"Do you know how much money and manpower it takes to dig a canal? If the granite from the quarry had not been sold, would Liangzhou's taxes depend on farmers to farm the land? ”

Xiao Wuyan said, "In the past, I didn't think of other methods, and I also thought about letting the rich businessmen of Liangzhou pay money, but do you think those people are so easy to talk to?" He didn't want to say much about the suffering he had endured in the past, because no matter how difficult it was in his position, he would continue.

"Also, the 100,000 troops are stationed at the border pass, what's the matter with digging the river?"

"Tuntian raises soldiers!"

Shen Ru said: "Isn't the food and drink of the 100,000 army all given by the imperial court, where does the money of the imperial court come from, and the people's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes." You farmers and herdsmen in Liangzhou work so hard, the harvest is not good, and you have to pay taxes. ”

"I haven't fought for many years, and it costs money to raise an army of 100,000!"

Xiao Wuyan looked at Shen Ru curiously, and then the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, as if he was smiling.

"You are a daughter of the Hou Mansion, why do you think so much about the farmer?"

"My grandfather, at the beginning, he fought everywhere, and he stayed at the border of Liangzhou for five years."

Shen Ru took out the late old marquis as an excuse, "A lot of my martial arts and knowledge were taught by my grandfather. ”

"I have heard of the deeds of Old Marquis Shen. Have you looked for that Zhao Gongming? He used to be under the command of Old Marquis Shen. ”

Xiao Wuyan couldn't help asking.

"No, grandfather doesn't want us to use his name to make things easier."

"I think you might as well put the matter of digging the river on the agenda for now, and list any troubles."

Shen Ru then said: "I like to solve troubles!" ”

Let the army of 100,000 dig the river, only Shen Ru can think of such things!

But...... Xiao Wuyan's mind turned, and the relationship between the Shen family and Zhao Gongming seemed to have room for reversal in this matter.

On the Yan family's side, Shen Ru had a life-saving grace for Yan Shaoqing, so in other words, Shen Ru could bargain with Yan Shaoqing.

Xiao Wuyan looked at Shen Ru's eyes, and he was a little scheming.

"Don't look at me, what are you calculating?"

Shen Ru keenly caught Xiao Wuyan's expression, and immediately asked with a restrained expression.

"I just think, maybe, your Shen family coming to Liangzhou is not a bad thing!"

Xiao Wuyan said lightly: "By the way, Yan Shaoqing already knows about the fine salt, and he will sell the fine salt to the Western Regions." ”

"Didn't say it had anything to do with me!"

Shen Ru was shocked in her heart, Yan Shaoqing's curiosity about his own north courtyard would have something to do with fine salt?

"No, if it's a rumor about you refining fine salt, you won't be able to stay in Liangzhou."

Xiao Wuyan glanced at Shen Ru, and then continued to look at the high mountain in the distance.

She will know more, Shen Ru muttered in her heart, and her face was not visible.

"Now that I've come out, I want to see the herdsmen in Liangzhou."

Shen Ru proposed: "Where are the most herdsmen? ”

"What, you want to herd sheep?"

Xiao Wuyan quipped rarely.

"No, I want to be a goat!"

Shen Ru said very seriously, and made a hand knife posture.

Xiao Wuyan suddenly lost his voice, and was stunned for a while and said, "Why? ”

"Isn't raising sheep just for food?"

Shen Ru asked rhetorically, "Sheep eat grass, aren't they sold and eaten when they are raised?" ”

It seems to be too. Xiao Wuyan couldn't even say anything to deny it.

"Do you want to see herdsmen herding horses, shepherds, and cattle herders?"

"That's right, our Shen family is in Liangzhou, so we should always do something!"

Shen Ru said, not to mention milk, goat's milk is not popular; Kebabs haven't become a late-night snack yet, but these are all business opportunities.

"It's rare that you're so motivated."

Xiao Wuyan approvingly: "You are indeed different from those women of the boudoir of the family. ”

"Heh, life is just forcing it."

Shen Ru said perfunctorily.

Xiao Wuyan also took Shen Ru to find the herdsmen.

Liangzhou has a prairie that is not found in the Central Plains, but it is not the time when the grassland is at its most abundant.

"Xiao, Lord Xiao!"

Xiao Wuyan had obviously been to this family before, and as soon as the other party's head saw Xiao Wuyan, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Lord Xiao is here today, what do you have to say?"

"It's okay, accompany this Shen girl to take a look."

Xiao Wuyan said, and also introduced to Shen Ru: "Everyone calls him Zhang Lao, he has 500 sheep at home, and his sons also have more than 100 cattle and sheep in their hands. ”

"Old woman, Master Xiao has brought the girl over, hurry up and get some goat's milk wine."

"Girl, what girl?"

When the people in the house heard the voice, they immediately ran out, and it was an elderly woman.

"Lord Xiao, this girl is so good-looking!"

The woman's face was flushed, and she laughed, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, but her expression was very loving.

"Look, don't scare the girl's house away."

Zhang Lao pretended to scold, and invited Xiao Wuyan to sit down with Shen Ru.

"Elder Zhang, do you still drink your own goat milk?"

Xiao Wuyan was surprised, this goat's milk was a little ashamed, when he first came to Liangzhou, he also drank it, and he couldn't stand it at all.

"It's not fishy, Lord Xiao, you outsiders are not used to drinking goat's milk, goat's milk is a good thing."

Elder Zhang obviously also knew what Xiao Wuyan was thinking.

"Goat's milk and milk are good things, and if they are well processed, they can get rid of the fishy smell."

Shen Ru nodded and said, "If it's convenient, I also want to buy some goat's milk and bring it back to my family to drink." ”

Aren't the children in the family still growing up, and this goat's milk is boiled and sterilized and then diluted to a little concentration, can't it be drunk?

Xiao Wuyan glanced at Shen Ru in surprise, she hadn't said it before.

"That's right, some sheep in the family have just given birth to cubs, and there is a lot of goat milk."

Zhang Lao said, and as he finished speaking, the woman also came out with a pot of goat's milk wine.

"It's cold, I'm afraid you won't be used to eating, and it's specially hot, let's drink a bowl while it's hot!"

"Okay, when I first came to Liangzhou, I never drank it."

Shen Ru was very good, and did not have any dislike because of the herdsmen's clothes and location.

Xiao Wuyan was quite surprised, on the way to exile, Shen Ru's family was still sitting in a carriage, and he once felt that the Shen family was used to being pampered.

The entrance is warm and mellow, full of milky aroma, sweet and sour, Shen Ru drank it carefully like tasting fine wine, and then nodded and said: "It's delicious, is there anything else about this, I also want to buy some to go home to my family." ”

The distance from the city to this side is not short, and if you want to drink fresh goat's milk every day, you need to run so far, it is not very cost-effective.

If you buy fresh goat's milk in large quantities, but now it is not kept warm...... Shen Ru suddenly thought of his own space.

Ha, time in space stops, that is, she can deposit a lot of fresh goat's milk and milk......

In Shen Ru's mind, he had already thought of countless dairy plans, and when he came to the northwest, should he get a farm?

The sky is vast and the grass is low, and the cattle and sheep are low?
