Zhuang Xun, who had been tidied up, looked well-groomed, and his clothes tended to be gorgeous, and he looked somewhat aristocratic.
The new clothes given by her lover were filled with her worries and longings. Zhuang Xun felt warm when he put them on, and the cold wind of the approaching winter could not cool down his burning heart.
When he came to the Meixinyuan next door, he handed over his name sticker. After a while, Jiang Xiannuo took Lan Qiu out to meet Zhuang Xun and welcomed him to the lobby.
"Censor, the last time we saw each other, the life and death of the censor was uncertain. When we meet again, the censor has made a great career, and his future is limitless." Jiang Xiannuo looked at Zhuang Xun with a friendly look.
Zhuang Xun saw that she was also very well-behaved. Although Jiang Xiannuo today was as beautiful as a fairy, she was even worse than the first time he saw her by chance. Looking at her gorgeous and graceful face, her noble auspicious phoenix eyes made her temperament The display is vivid and exquisite.
But it was no longer astonishing as when I first saw it. On the contrary, Si Qinmi liked it more and more the more he watched it, and Zhuang Xun didn't understand.
"I would like to thank Mrs. Jiang for taking good care of my wife. She often sends Miss Lan Qiu to visit her and inquire about her shortage of supplies." Zhuang Xun said gratefully.
Jiang Xiannuo's actions deserve Zhuang Xun's respect. He recommended her at the beginning, saved her from the siege at the Wanshou Banquet, and later helped take care of Si Qinmi. She never mentioned anything in return. Such a noble person, Zhuang Xun did not care about. Respectful.
"Little things and trivial actions are also entrusted by the censor. However, the slave's actions appear to be too cautious and do not understand the true meaning of the censor."
Thinking about it, he felt angry. He was worried about his safety, but he knew that Li Pingyuan had already left Yindu, so Cheng Diegguan voluntarily gave up.
"Forgive Xun for hiding this from my wife. After all, it is about the battle situation on the front line and the life and death of the soldiers!" Zhuang Xun also knew that what he did was unkind.
Mrs. Jiang told him the battle report from the front line and asked Zhuang Xun to go with her. Zhuang Xun knew that Yu State might survive but did not tell Mrs. Jiang.
"I don't mean to blame the censor. The censor must also have made a lot of determination. After all, if the censor is very confident, he will not entrust the censor's wife to the care of the slave family." Mrs. Jiang handled it with care and understood It is not easy to inquire about Qizhuang.
This is a smart woman. Only a stupid woman will hold on to other people's mistakes. For a woman who wants to gain the other person's favor, she can gain a lot of favor by making the other person apologize and forgive the other person.
Sure enough, Zhuang Xun suddenly had a greater favorable impression of Mrs. Jiang, and his guilt turned into more favorable impressions.
Si Qin Mi noticed it from the side, but did not say anything and kept a faint smile, as if he had not yet come out of the joy of the couple's reunion.
"It's really dangerous. It's a narrow escape. It's almost like that. Xun won't be able to see Mrs. Jiang anymore." Zhuang Xun felt that it was quite dangerous. If there hadn't been a robbery during the day, Li Rusi would definitely not have come to see him.
Without Li Rusi's intervention, Zhuang Xun didn't think that Huang Xi and his own martial arts would survive.
"It seems that the position of censor is not easy to come by." Think about it, even if it is recommended by the senior brother of the national preceptor, it is not easy to get this official title, considering Zhuang Xun's age.
If it weren't for Zhuang Xun's recommendation, she would have believed the rumors and believed that he was a king among the people.
"I'm a little embarrassed to say this. The official came out of nowhere. Xun originally thought that Jiedu Youshi was the ceiling for Xun."
Zhuang Xun still doesn't understand why he suddenly gained so many levels. This is unscientific and not humane. He should look like he is just talking.
"It shows that the censor has great luck and must not let down God's will." Mrs. Jiang encouraged.
It was nothing more than God's will that King Yu Cheng wanted to compensate Ge Tan. It was Ge Tan's recommendation. After all, he must have felt a debt of gratitude for tricking Ge Tan into being like this.
"Of course, Xun will do his best to fulfill his promise to His Majesty." Zhuang Xun nodded, this is what he wanted to do.
"What's the promise? Can it be convenient for the slave family to know it?" Mrs. Jiang didn't have any airs and smiled. She was really curious about Zhuang Xun's promise to King Yu to help the country of Yu.
"It's not something that can't be said. Xun just told him that Xun wanted the people under his rule to have enough food and clothing for all seasons. That's big talk." Zhuang Xun is no longer afraid of others mocking his ideas, at least he is. Move towards your goal, even if you can't do it, you have to try your best.
"It does sound a bit dreamy. This is really an amazing vision, but how can you do it." Mrs. Jiang's Ruifeng eyes shined brightly, and she understood to some extent why Prince Yu regarded Zhuang Xun as his own son.
"Take Jiannan Road as an example. If I want to govern, I first need to win over a group of local powerful people and suppress a group of local powerful people. Although they are all my enemies, they must prioritize and keep those who are willing to obey to help me. Governance, and then bring back the original exiled people, and give them the land that was originally suppressed by the powerful." Zhuang Xun talked about the plan discussed with He Jung.
"It's very stable. It is really necessary for the censor who has not yet established a firm foothold. He can not only establish his authority but also win the hearts of the people. What's next." Mrs. Jiang was interested. She wanted to hear how Zhuang Xun could do it for everyone. There is enough to eat and everyone is clothed.
"The second step is to select talents. Many noble families escaped from Jiannan. Select the talents among them to help govern Jiannan. At the same time, we will cut off the original powerful people and complete the initial governance of Jiannan, that is, replace the people with Ask yourself." Since Zhuang Xun is here to win over people and seek investment, he naturally wants to draw a big pie.
"Then what? What is the censor going to do to show off his talents?" After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang had already thought of the next step and had many ideas.
She has controlled the government of Zhao State all year round, and she has already planned the development plan of Jiannan Road in her mind.
"The next step is to let people live their lives, and at the same time train a group of new officials. We hope they will come from artisan farmers. Of course, their official positions will not be too high." Zhuang Xun continued.
"Xun feels that grain output depends on weather, timing, and location. Finally, the role of people cannot be ignored. If there are professional farmers to analyze agricultural products, promote farming, and serve as a demonstration, grain output can be effectively increased. ." Zhuang Xun thought of the great man in his previous life.
Genes should exist in this world. If not, there should be something similar. Anyway, there are always some good ways to refine skills.
"The slave family understands the meaning of the censor, but this is far from enough." Mrs. Jiang appreciates Zhuang Xun's view, but the reason why farmers can't eat enough is not because of low food production. In this world with gods and anomalies, the supply of food Yield is not low either.
No, if you can really get more than ten times the food through skills, then you can certainly do it, but unless you change the world, it is almost impossible.
"Xun knows that farmers' food has been taken away by landlords and the state. The distribution issue is the biggest problem. If you want to keep the people under your command full, the mouths above must be closed."
Zhuang Xun understands very clearly that the inherent system of this world cannot be shaken by him. The existence of the underworld has made the world fair. He neither has the courage and determination of some time-travelers who are weak, nor does he have that He longed for a harmonious society, and he did not feel that he could gather a group of people with the same ideals.
"Yes, but the state's taxes are indispensable, and there are middle classes such as landlords, but very little actually reaches the hands of the people." Mrs. Jiang has also been troubled for a long time. She has discovered that a good harvest is only Increase the amount of food available to landlords.
"So it's good if there are no landlords." Zhuang Xun said directly that he was ready to attack the local tyrants and divide the land. Of course, he had to be gentler and prepare blunt knives to cut the meat, batch by batch.
"The slave family also understands what the censor is thinking. You want to distribute the land to the people, right? But in the next generation, perhaps due to disaster, disease, or because of power, the land will inevitably flow to some people. This is useless! Mrs. Jiang said with some disappointment, if Zhuang Xun only thinks this way.
"So what, why don't we just do this? I think it's great that everyone can have food to eat while I'm alive. The method of dividing the fields is simple, but most people in Jiannan Road don't have enough to eat. Have you? Reduce the levy of corvee, encourage farming and mulberry cultivation, and set up officials for this purpose, so that everyone has clothes to wear? As for if this can be done for thousands of generations, am I not more powerful than the ancient sage kings? It is better to be sensitive to the present."
Zhuang Xun shook his head and said with a smile, he is a somewhat sympathetic person and plans for the ages. He really doesn’t think too much about it. He doesn’t think he can do something that is not fully achieved by the industrial society. He can only say that he works hard. Let's do it so that everyone can live a comfortable life for a few days while you are alive.
"..." Mrs. Jiang was a little silent at first, and then looked at Zhuang Xun, who was in high spirits and a little embarrassed, and was speechless for a moment.
Zhuang Xun thought he had said something wrong and looked at Mrs. Jiang and then at Si Qinmi. When Si Qinmi shook his head with a smile, he felt relieved.
"Jiannan Road can indeed fulfill the wishes of the censor. The Nu family remembers that the censor led the Jiannan Road on his behalf." Zhuang asked.
She had thought it was meaningless before, but for decades, maybe even shorter, there was no need to spend this kind of time fighting against the noble families of the courtiers.
Now that I heard Zhuang Xunmin's current thoughts, which were so enlightening and enlightening, I suddenly felt ashamed. Zhuang Xun at least really planned to do this, and he had a plan and a feasible plan.
"That's true, but it depends on the negotiation with Chengguo. Can Yuguo accept the cession? If Chengguo chooses Hebei Road, naturally Xun will have to go to Jiannan Road. If Chengguo chooses Jiannan Road, then Xun can go to Hebei road."
After a pause, Zhuang Xun smiled bitterly and said: "If possible, of course Xun wants to go to Hebei Road. After all, the difficulty of governance is low. Don't look at Xun's claims, but Xun has no confidence in the governance of Jiannan Road."
After a miserable sale, he is ready to find a rich woman for help.
"Jiannan is a good place. Don't say such things to the censor. There are three mountains and one river. The censor is backed by Cheng and Yu. Are you still worried about the counterattack of Youguo?" Mrs. Jiang chuckled, covering her face with a round fan, looking dignified. Feeling squeamish.
"Why are you relying on two countries? Xun feels helpless, and he is always worried that Youguo will invade again." There is no background at all, but he is relying on two countries.
"The censor is going to deceive the slave family again. Not to mention that the censor is a member of the Yu Kingdom's holy family, the matter between the censor and the two daughters of the Li family has been widely spread in Jidu. With General Li Pingyuan behind him, I heard that it was General Li. Son-in-law, how dare people from Youguo come to trouble you." Mrs. Jiang joked, looking at Zhuang Xun with her beautiful eyes, watching his expression change from helpless to shocked.
"Forget the rumors about me in Yu State, why are they still spreading in Cheng State!" Zhuang Xun gritted his teeth, like a popular star, a real person, how his every move can be known to the world.
"Is it a rumor? The censor has nothing to do with the two daughters of the Li family?" Mrs. Jiang's chuckle already showed that she didn't believe it.
Also, the most important thing for a businessman is information, not to mention factual information.
"It doesn't count. Madam Jiang, please stop teasing Xun. Until now, Ms. Jiang has not visited Li's house to propose marriage. Madam Jiang also knows the situation in Yu State." Marrying Li Rusi also has the effect of intimidating You State, Zhuang Xun I never thought that this would give me another reason to marry Li Rusi.
"Propose marriage? What should Mrs. Wei do?" Mrs. Jiang immediately looked at Si Qinmi, who was like a backdrop, smiling slightly throughout the whole process. Of course she knew that she was marrying an equal wife, and the news had been circulated, but she just wanted to see Si Qinmi. Qin Mi's reaction.
No response.
"If you marry an equal wife, she will naturally be my wife." This was the bottom line that Zhuang Xun could not cross.
"It will be difficult to get General Li's support if you do this." Mrs. Jiang could imagine how angry Li Pingyuan was. Whose daughter wouldn't be angry when her daughter was married off to be a common wife? The Li family is still in full swing now.
"That's it. You still support me. It's already exciting without beating Xun to death." Zhuang Xun said with a headache. Being the son-in-law of his father-in-law felt very secure, but first he had to make Li Pingyuan recognize him as his son-in-law.
"Now in the Yu Kingdom, King Yu's body is in decline, which will basically happen at the end of the year." Mrs. Jiang added.
"So there is no support from Cheng Yu. Mrs. Jiang, you all know it, and you still make fun of Xun." Zhuang Xun said with a smile.
"The Nu family is at fault, the Nu family is at fault. As an apology, the Nu family also wants to do its part to help the Censor realize his vision in Jiannan. I wonder if the Censor dislikes the Nu family." Mrs. Jiang took the initiative and asked to join the team.
Ruifeng's eyes were full of expectations, indicating that she really wanted to invest in Zhuang Xun. The noble lady Yuanfan only left these beautiful eyes.
"?" Wait, I haven't asked you yet, I'm just crying about poverty and talking about difficulties.
"If the censor doesn't want to, just pretend that the slave family didn't mention it." Zhuang Xun was stunned, and Mrs. Jiang had the idea of teasing.
"No, I'm asking for your help, madam." Zhuang Xun explained, why don't you want to? That's not the main purpose of today.
"Then why does the slave family want to help the censor? How can the censor be so sure that the slave family will help you." Mrs. Jiang blinked her beautiful eyes.
"No, that..." Zhuang Xun was speechless.
"Hehe, hehe..." Mrs. Jiang chuckled, which was hidden by the round fan, and her crescent-shaped phoenix eyes alleviated the embarrassment.
Zhuang Xun also understood that she was teasing him, so he laughed as well.
"Censor, let's talk first. Whether it's Jiannan Road or Hebei Road, since the Censor has great ambitions, the Nu family will naturally support it. After all, the Nu family likes to see people like the Censor realize their ideals."
At the same time, it also earns me merit and makes my wishful thinking come true.
Now if Li Pingyuan's son-in-law is in the enemy's country in Jiannan or Hebei, Cheng Guo will be worried about using Li Pingyuan as a knife to cut his flesh.
