Mr. Zhang nodded and said:

"Exactly. General Shen took so much effort to do this, and did not hesitate to pull down the title of his own brother, fulfilling his reputation of jealousy and hatred, in fact, in order to hold the beauty - the weight of this beauty can be seen! I didn't expect that such a cold person as General Shen would also move his heart. ”

Prime Minister Liu shook his head slowly and said:

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass. You go to find out if this is the case, if this is the case, you must pay attention to the movements of Miss Li Er. ”

Mr. Zhang should be, stood up and saluted respectfully, and then stepped back.

Liu Chengxiang picked up the snuff that was placed beside him, picked a little and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, sneezed fiercely, and felt a lot more comfortable.

But Shen Junzhuo couldn't feel comfortable, he had just come back from the Shen family's ancestral hall, and Bai Jin's eight hundred miles were rushed over. He thought it was Li Cunren who had new news, but when he opened it up, he frowned tightly.

Xue Qihong knew the reason and said:

"At the beginning of the year, the 500,000 taels of silver copied from Lin Shilang were transferred over, and people were asked to supervise the construction to widen the canal. Now that it is half dry, in the event of summer floods and heavy rains for several days, the water level of the Yellow River has skyrocketed, and the bottom of the canal is silted with sand, and the river surface is not wide enough. ”

Shen Junzhuo slapped the received letter on the table and said:

"Does the prime minister know about this?"

Xue Qihong nodded and said:

"When the report passed, it came out that the prime minister said: 'Natural disasters are spared, and disasters are cured.' ”

Shen Junzhuo pinched the root of his nose and felt a little bored, such ambiguous words were equivalent to not saying them. To cure the disaster, we must have silver and grain, and if we want to cure the disaster at the root, we must still control the Yellow River and widen the canal.

He only talked about curing disasters, but he didn't arrange for the money to go over, what kind of cure could he take? Worship the Hebo Temple or the Land Temple? In this Dacheng world, when did it become a burden for him alone, it was not enough for him to manage military affairs, and even the people's livelihood had to be worried?

More than 200 years of rivers and mountains have long been decayed, wind and rain, maybe one day it will suddenly fall apart, by that time, he still has to turn the tide to protect this piece of society?

He thought about it, felt tired, and couldn't bear to mourn all over the Yellow Flood Area, and added another percent to Prime Minister Liu Cheng's dissatisfaction with only staring at the movements in the palace, and ordered:

"Let people go to the household department to check how much silver they can take out now, and tomorrow morning they will go up and arrange for our people to escort the silver to disaster relief. Now go and pay a hundred thousand taels of silver from my account, and send it first. ”

Xue Qihong saw that he was going to move his silver, and hesitated, after all, no matter how much silver he had, where could he save it, this is the culmination of the disaster. But human life is at stake, so it's one that can save one. He thought about it for a while, but he still responded, and went out to arrange for someone to investigate the details of the household, and at the same time went to find Shen Junzhuo's account room, paid 100,000 taels of silver, and took another 5,000 taels himself, found a proper person, and set off on the same day with the silver, and went to Jiangnan for disaster relief without mentioning it.

The affairs in the yamen were busy all day, and at dusk, Shen Junzhuo took time to see Shu Yao.

The coolness of a heavy rain soon passed, and in the second half of the day, the ground was hot again, and even this time it was still sweltering.

When he entered the door, he saw Xie's mother pointing people to change the ice in the house, carrying out tanks of water, and transporting tanks of ice into the house.

When the servants saw him, they bowed quietly, and went about their jobs again. There are two layers of light gauze tents hanging in front of the door of Shu Yao's house, which dimly reveals the light inside, and there is a breeze blowing, and the light yarn is rippling, making him feel warm and peaceful at a glance.

Before he could enter the door, he heard her talking to some of the little maids inside:

"Mash some of it, a fine foam is fine."

A few little maids smiled in response, and he heard a jingling sound, and when he opened the curtain and went in, he saw a large field of colorful things laid out on the table, and the little maids were pounding something with pestles.

When Shu Yao saw him coming, his smile immediately showed, put down the things in his hand, and walked over to him.

He waved his hand and asked the little maids to go down, and Shu Yao pulled him to the table, pointed to the things on the table, and said:

"Guess what's going to be done?"

He glanced at the broken ice under the pestle, and immediately knew that she was going to learn how to make ice bowls from the mother-in-law in the night market, but he only pretended not to know, and said:

"With so many things, do you want to make laba porridge?"

Shu Yao covered her mouth and smiled, took a bowl, first filled some crushed ice, and then filled the melted honey water, red beans, mung beans, crushed melons, crushed peanuts from the table one by one, and finally poured a spoonful of rose dew.

She held the bowl up in front of him and said with a smile:

"Try this, I tried it, and it was much better than what we ate at the night market that day!"

He smiled and tasted it, in fact, he didn't like sweets very much, but he couldn't bear to refuse when he saw what she did, and he chewed it a few times in his mouth, and the taste was really good, sweet but not greasy, with so many things in it, the ice was not so cold.

He nodded and complied:

"Yes, it's a lot better!"

When she heard this, her smile became even bigger, and she brought out another bowl, and then called the little maids to come in and clean them up, and called for dinner.

For a while, the two of them had dinner quietly.

The room she was in was much cooler than the outside, and because she was there, there was a faint, vague aroma in the room, and it was a pleasure to be here on such a hot and restless night.

A subordinate came in and cleaned up the table, the two cleaned their hands, and just sat down again, when they saw Shu Yao suddenly become serious, and looked at him with bright eyes and said:

"Are you short of silver?"

Shen Junzhuo was stunned, was he short of silver? Lacking, not lacking. If it were him, the silver in his hand would be enough for him and her for several lifetimes, but if you take into account the appearance of this Dacheng leaking everywhere, I am afraid that the silver will not be enough to make up for it.

He smiled and said:

"Didn't Mr. Sui teach you to do business? Are you going to open a shop to sell these ice bowls? ”

Shu Yao sneered, and then quickly returned to seriousness, and said:

"How much is it worth selling this ice bowl? I know that the silver you lack there is not a matter of a few thousand taels, and you can't beat hundreds of thousands of taels, if you rely on this ice bowl, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it for this money in a few lifetimes. After a pause, she took out a map from behind her, spread it out in front of him, pointed to the terrain around Jingzhou, and said:

"Jingzhou is a rich land, Yang Wanguang and Cao Wenyi have privately raised the poll tax over the years, and they have taken a lot of money from the people of Jingzhou. The people of the Qingshan faction checked in Jingzhou, and a small part of the tax money was left in the hands of the two of them, but most of it was sent to Jingshi......

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Junzhuo, who saw a hint of cunning and shrewdness in her eyes, he smiled softly and said:

"You're going to cut off the money?"
