Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

On the way home, Shen Luo thought over what he said in front of Emperor Qianyuan today.

He is too different from "that Shen Bai".

The only thing the two may have in common is that they also replace others, but they also do not obey the arrangements of fate, and both have personalities that draw inferences from one instance.

But there is still a huge gap between the two people in essence, one is the soul of modern people. 'Shen Bai' (not changed in the future, referring to Xi Hantang, the previous replacement in the previous article) is a modern person, and his fate has been lost due to accidents, and he even became a paralyzed person.

So after he became 'Shen Bai', he would spare no effort to control his own life, and after realizing that he could not escape the sensitive identity of 'Emperor's brother-in-law', he would decisively seek a way out.Buying land and stockpiling food is an expression of his cautiousness from many angles.The difference between him and Shen Luo is his desire for freedom, so as a modern person, he will have the aura of commanding troops to fight, riding a horse and raising his whip, which is a rebellion against the fate of the previous life, and a kind of indulgence in this life catharsis.

So Shen Bai is a king who stands in front of others and never backs down.

But Shen Luo is different, he is an ancient person, whether his father or mother gave him excellent education in his previous life.Including Shen Xueshi's talent and the cultivation of his calligraphy.And his mother completely transmitted the Ruan Qin skills to him like gentle love.

This kind of teaching by precept and deed is very influential, but it is all the gentle spirit of He Feng Xiaoyue.There is absolutely no such runaway, rebellious unruly attitude towards fate.

So now Shen Luo is more suitable to stand behind the scenes, not the front desk, because he doesn't have the awareness and courage of Shen Bai to raise his arms.

An extrovert and an introvert have actually destined the fate of the two people to be different, but they still firmly connect the spiritual world of the two.

Shen Bai's rapid rise to the top is not unrelated to the memory of the original owner. His Ruan Qin skills are all derived from the original owner, but it is only a fusion of modern playing techniques.

As for Shen Luo in this life, although he was born out of blue, he was only aloof in piano skills, and he was more conservative in terms of timing and opportunities.

The social circle is very small, and they don't take the initiative to make friends everywhere. They are even limited between the Wutong Hall in the palace and the family. At most, they are only entertaining with the third young master.

Shen Luo was thinking, and so was Emperor Qianyuan.

After Guowei returned, he quietly looked at the contents of the few memorials on the table, sinking in thought.

If he came to personally arrange the people, he would naturally involve the seemingly unimportant officials in all aspects of the disaster relief. In the end, a star-studded, highly efficient and highly controlled personnel situation was formed in Beijiang's disaster relief.

Shen Luo was not as familiar with the officials of the imperial capital as he was, but he was able to grasp the key point and get all the departments involved from the few acquaintances.

Emperor Qianyuan needed to make a decision within a few days.

When Shen Luo returned to the mansion, he knew that Qingchen had been called as a guest by Prince Qi, and would come back later.

Now the two families are walking very close, Xiao Shitou and Qi Junwen are about the same age, and he has gained a lot of points in front of Emperor Qianyuan, which really makes Prince Qi and his wife like it very much.

The servants at home were preparing lunch, Shen Luo went to the study room and spread out the manuscript paper, wrote an "Examination Room Preparation Record", thought it was good, and wrote "Compendium of Policy and Theory Books". Use an envelope inside, put one article in each book, and buy five copies to get a set.

He did this to make his books more attractive. These days, he was planning to finalize the book before the palace exam, hand it over to Teacher Zhong, and hurry up to get it out.

What Shen Bai saw about his brother-in-law Yu Wentuo's movable type printing skills was not in Shen Luo's mind, but he didn't dare to throw it out at will. Right now, he just wants to be safe first, and he is already a celebrity, too much limelight is harmful and useless .

"Sir." Xiao Shitou came back excitedly, looking at the article written by Shen Luozai.

"Are you having fun?" Shen Luo asked. One advantage of Prince Qi's Mansion is that it has a huge collection of books, and Xiao Shitou's handwriting needs to be improved, otherwise he would ask him to copy some back.

Qing Chen saw them talking, Shen Luo looked back at him: "Are you used to going to King Qi's place?"

"I'm not used to it, most of them are husbands from various prefectures, and they are talking about the affairs of some mansions." Qingchen said with a smile.

"Take your time." Shen Luo got up and sat down at the Eight Immortals table to accompany him: "I'm in the palace most of the day, sometimes more, I guess I'll stay for a whole day in the future. I can't stay with you too much, you It’s also a good thing to go out to socialize, so as not to be bored.”

Xiao Shitou looked at Shen Luo: "Sir, it's always inappropriate to send horses and carriages from the palace. Today Junwen's Ah Mo said, let you buy another carriage to go to court, and we will sit in the mule cart."

Shen Luo thought about it: "It's okay, I just want to buy some more servants. After a while, when the money for the books comes down, I will arrange it."

"We have more than 7000 taels in hand. I was thinking about whether to buy a house or a shop. I asked casually today. The cheapest shop costs more than 2 taels. Hey, I also want to buy a house and shop for Xiao Shitou in the future." shop, so that he can ask for his husband's use." Qing Chen took Xiaoshi with him every day, almost treating him as his younger brother.

Xiao Shitou blinked his eyes flickeringly: "Brother Qingchen, I'm leaving next year, and I'm definitely going to be the No. [-] in the exam. Don't worry, when I pass the No. [-] exam, I will support you."

Shen Luo bared a smile: "Where are your senior brother and master? You don't support them?"

"That!" Xiao Shitou scratched his head: "Of course I have to raise it, and I can afford it when I become the champion."

Shen Luo smiled lightly, but Qingchen had a proud face, thinking that the child was not in vain.

Both he and Shen Luo are considered single parents, Xiao Shitou has no parents, and in Qing Chen's eyes, they are even more supportive.

"Not to mention, maybe Nie Xingfeng's return may bring a large amount of unexpected money." Shen Luo smiled.

"Cathay sent a letter, saying that the same city and county are in a mess, and the number of victims is more than [-]. I am afraid that there is a possibility of plague. At present, the Royal Forest Army has blocked the front and back, and is orderly arranging the transfer of healthy victims to the surrounding area." The small study room of Wutong Hall , Guowei said.

"The surrounding counties and counties were not seriously affected, and they were mainly concentrated in one county in the same city, which is relatively easy to control." Emperor Qianyuan said: "How about the flood discharge, is the flood still coming?"

"Now, it's a little better. Although the rainfall in the upper reaches of the state capital has decreased, it is still heavier than in previous years. Fortunately, the flood has been rescued and the flood has been gradually released on the east coast." Guowei said.

"A Luo, you have a lot of ideas. In order to prevent the flood victims from flocking to you, can you talk about your layers of accommodation?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"Let people come over step by step." Shen Luo said.

"Be more detailed." Guowei also said.

"It is to use the state capital around Tongcheng County as the first fence, which can be entered but not exited. Only the number of people they accept can be released to continue to go backwards. The identity of this batch of detainees must also be targeted. "

"How to say?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"For example, the surrounding state capitals can accommodate [-] victims, so they must accept the full amount of [-] to close the city gate and let people go backward. The first batch of [-] can only be one kind of people. , people who are so poor that they have nothing, because they really don't have the strength and food to continue walking." Shen Luo said.

"Well, it's understandable. Rich families have food, domestic slaves, and a large number of entourages." Guowei also nodded.

"The later ones are, the richer they will be, and they will be released layer by layer." Emperor Qianyuan also summed up his thoughts: "This idea is fine."

"I have already calculated that there are three counties and seventeen counties from the same city, and there is no problem in relocating all the victims. In this way, the counties that are one level away from the imperial capital will have almost no impact on the imperial capital." Shen Luo said.

"Well, let's do it like this, Ah Luo, I have a matter for you to handle." Emperor Qianyuan ordered.

"Your Majesty, please order." Shen Luo stood up and said.

"Where King Yue and King De are, you take Baili Songran to King Yue, take Yunmo to King De, and then go to the salt and tea department under their management to find each other, and tell King Yue to preside over dealing with salt merchants and suppress salt merchants from raising prices. And find out the salt merchant behind Wuxuan. As for De Wang asking him to find the cooperative salt merchant, I want them to split up. One is stuck in the salt merchant's neck, and the other is the root of the salt merchant. As for the second brother, you don't need to say , I'll call him back later."

"The sons of those two families?" Shen Luo asked.

"Of course they are going to rescue the disaster. Knowing the hidden secrets, their disaster relief will be different." Emperor Qianyuan glanced at him.

"The emperor is wise." Shen Luo said admiringly, Emperor Qianyuan turned dark and bright, and then let himself go alone. If the three parties fail to meet, then their respective affairs will become a dispute after a contest.

"They asked you about other things, and they said they couldn't tell." Emperor Qianyuan handed him a jade pendant: "Just tell me that I told you to go, and they will know when they see this jade pendant."

Shen Luo stepped forward and took a blood-red phoenix bathing in fire jade pendant.

After accepting the task, you can't rush there, because the two kings are likely to be away in the afternoon.

He went to ask someone to invite Baili Songran, but he was very fast, and he arrived at Shen's house before Shen Luo got home.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Baili Songran was so rare, he seemed to dislike bringing a servant by his side, just wandering around the imperial capital like this.

"I want to buy a carriage. I will give Qingchen my mule carriage. He often goes to accompany some nobles in the imperial capital. It is inconvenient not to have a carriage." Shen Luo was not in a hurry to talk about things, but talked about the carriage.

"You should have bought a carriage a long time ago. You are accompanied by the imperial court, and you ride in a mule cart every day. Do you know how many people say that you are from a small place and have never seen the world!" Baili said with a smile.

"Then let's go together and come to my place for lunch?" Shen Luo said.

"Okay, I'm good at picking horses." Baili said carelessly.

Shen Luo and Qing Chen said something, asking him to prepare two more dishes, and accompany Song Ran to get on the mule cart and set off.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you today. It's better to talk on the mule cart." Shen Luo said on the way to the mule and horse market in Beishi.

"What's so mysterious? Nasi is looking for you?" Baili Songran asked with blinking eyes.

"Nasi, which Nasi?" Shen Luo didn't remember until after asking, it was the brother from the Western Regions who cleared the building: "It's business to talk about all these ghost things."

"Business! Tell me." Baili sat upright, with the expression of a student being trained.

"Be natural!" Shen Luo waved his hand: "Accompany me to the Salt Tax Department to meet the King of Yue tomorrow morning. I have something to tell him and you have to keep it a secret."

"What's the matter?" Baili Songran looked at him with a flattering expression.

"I'll find out tomorrow, and it's not like I want you to lead the way and drive you away." Shen Luo said.

"I'm most afraid of you people, who keep talking half-spoken and whet my appetite." Baili said calmly.

Although he said so, Baili Songran really knew Manhuangdu, and he found a small official from the livestock market. When the other party saw Baili Songran, he said "Master" one by one.

The last 85 taels, a fat two-year-old mare, and a new carriage with a roof.

"I just need a handlebar." Shen Luo said, the new carriage was delivered to the house with the help of the cart seller.

"Go and buy a few, the recent disaster, many people who came out early have already sold the small ones, and the human teeth arrived a few days earlier." Baili Songran said.

"They're moving fast." A trace of displeasure flashed in Shen Luo's eyes, but after all, it was the trend of the times, so there was nothing to say.

Early the next morning, Baili Songran came, and the two of them got into the newly bought carriage and went to the Salt Tax Department.

"See you, my lord." Shen Luo looked at King Yue in front of him, with a demeanor that didn't smile, and the pair of eyes that were turning, lively eyes were looking at Shen Luo.

"Listen to Song Ran, do you have something to tell me?" King Yue asked, although he had a bad impression of Shen Luo, he would not offend him.

Shen Luo took out Emperor Qianyuan's fire phoenix jade pendant: "I follow the emperor's orders to come and discuss with the prince about the flood in the Beijiang River."

"Oh!" The king of Yue was surprised when Shen Luo took out the jade pendant, but after hearing what he said, his face was full of surprises, and the expression was beyond words. look.

Shen Luo observed in his eyes, and without changing his expression, he told about the collusion between the salt merchant and Wuxuan, the governor of the same city, and about the flood discharge on the east bank and the possible increase in the price of salt.

"The emperor wants me to investigate the salt merchants behind this scene?" King Yue showed a happy expression. This is the lifeblood of economics and trade. Although he is leading the salt tax reform, he cannot force the salt merchants to change course too much. But if he takes over and eradicates the Beijiang area If there are illegal salt merchants, there will be an increase if there is a decrease. It will be easy for him to insert some people on his own road or defected merchants.

"A Luo, I will also cooperate with the prince to investigate this matter?" Baili Song thought that Shen Luo's request to come was just to serve as a referral. If so, it was impossible for him to talk about such a big matter in front of him. .

"You know about this matter, and secretly cooperating with the prince, you are actually going to the front for disaster relief." Shen Luo said bluntly.

King Yue nodded in satisfaction: "This arrangement is very good, is it the emperor's intention?"

Shen Luo didn't answer his words, but said to Baili loosely: "I know you have a good relationship with Yunmo, but business is business and should not be confused with personal feelings. The emperor is testing you, and he will also go to relieve the disaster. But the task is different, you must not leak the prince's affairs and affect the overall situation."

King Yue immediately said: "Songran, you are not young anymore, you have to listen to Mr. Shen, he is someone close to the emperor, you are friends, and you are still in the same year, what he said is for your own good."

Baili Songran nodded upon hearing this: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely help you with the matter."

"Okay!" King Yue nodded in satisfaction, and immediately thought that Shen Luo's words to persuade Baili Songran were to build a good relationship with himself, and he couldn't help being a little happy for a while.

Declined to have lunch together, Shen Luo took Baili Songran home, explained some things about Beijiang to Baili Songran, and gave him a summary of the current situation in Tongcheng County.

Baili Song went back to the mansion and said, Bailiyu looked at the abstract and felt a little more fond of Shen Luo in his heart. He, the left minister, didn't know many contents of the abstract, so he naturally knew the value in it.

Emperor Qianyuan naturally didn't know about Shen Luo's tricks, and he wouldn't care if he knew it. What he wanted was the result, not the process.
