Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

Yun Mo came back from Fenzhou somewhat proudly. This time in Fenzhou he exterminated relatives, except for Changrui who was fined and confiscated half a year's salary. In Fenzhou, there were more than 30 corrupt officials who were arrested, and the money seized was [-]. Ten thousand taels.

When the sea ship gradually approached the waters of the imperial capital, Yun Mo's mood was like that of a gull flying high above the sky, wishing he could soar into the sky and spread his wings to fly.

When the big boat passed by the Nancheng area, he saw the busy scene of thousands of people running around, tall wooden frames, booms for soil transportation, mule carts shuttling, and the flying imperial flag.

Although I knew a little about the sinking movement, I didn't expect it to be like this.

He went with a high profile, but came back with a low profile, because the imperial court did not have the practice of welcoming a state tour with too high a standard.

And in order not to show off, he didn't even inform Baili Songran and them.

"Young Master!" It was Uncle Wang who came to pick him up.

Yun Mo got into the carriage, and after returning home, he had to make a special trip to the palace in the afternoon to report on the affairs of Fenzhou.

At noon, Yun Changkong came back, bringing King De along with him.

When the family banquet was held, the topic of conversation naturally included the affairs of the imperial capital.

"When you go to the emperor's place, take the 20 taels to Shen Luo." King De was a little proud, and took out a large government bank note.

"What? When things have come to this point, we have to pay for it?" Yun Mo asked curiously.

Yun Changkong nodded: "We paid out money, you are back, it's just right to send the money over, so that we don't lose our tongues, our mansion also pays [-] yuan, the same as Bailiyu!"

While Yun Mo was surprised, he had a subtle feeling that he thought that the first person to achieve extraordinary feats in this subject in the same year was no longer himself, but the sinking person who had retreated once in the flood in Tongcheng County.

"Father knows what you are thinking. Only by doing your part well can you gain a firm foothold in the long-term ups and downs of the officialdom. The officialdom is no different than others. Going fast is to seize the opportunity, but it may also be to go into ruin early." Yun Mojin In the palace, Yun Changkong whispered in his ear.

Shen Luo was eating on the construction site at the moment, and he, Jian Cong and Jin Hua would dine with the workers here from time to time.

The deboned sea fish meat is chopped into minced meat, cut into fish foam in hot water, added with cheap seashells, a little shrimp, some small octopus, and thick potato flour.While the fresh soup is boiling, add a lot of minced ginger to remove the fishy smell, sea salt to enhance the taste, one bowl per person, warming the stomach and delicious.

With the bachelor's steamed buns stuffed with sauerkraut, although there is no meat in the middle, it is quite appetizing and filling.

The big white flour steamed buns are better than those eaten by ordinary people.If you are not full, you can also eat a steamed bun with miscellaneous grains.

This kind of food ensures that while eating enough, it also ensures basic nutrition.

Shen Luo ate without pretensions, without any extra side dishes.

"Tomorrow is fried fish cakes, a stir-fried vegetable, and seaweed miso soup. This kind of food is enough!" The construction site manages one meal a day, which is lunch. This kind of food is almost strictly controlled by Jian Cong.

"The road at the front has already been backfilled, and the foundation of the market behind has been laid. If the weather permits, seven days will be enough to build the beams on the wall at our speed," Jin Hua said.

"The quality must be good. The timber has been inspected, how is it?" Shen Luo asked.

"It's very good, and the big blue bricks according to the requirements are also very good." Jian Cong said that the big blue bricks are used to build underground drainage channels. Jian Cong wanted to burn large round drainage pipes, but failed many times. When there was a rupture, he had no choice but to give up.

Back at the mansion in the afternoon, Xiao Shitou's loud laughter came from the back hall.

"Why is this kid so happy today?" Nie Xingfeng asked curiously.

Shen Luo smiled lightly: "Isn't he happy every day? He's quite angry when he comes home."

The two walked to the back hall and saw Lan Fulang and Brother Tie sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals drinking tea leisurely.

"Brother Shen is here." Brother Tie laughed.

Shen Luo stepped forward and sat down with Nie Xingfeng: "I said, why is Little Shitou so happy today!"

Little Shitou smirked and circled around Lan Fulang.

"Brother Lao Chen is here, and we have prepared rooms for all of us." Lan Fulang looked at Shen Luo and said.

Shen Luo took the cup that Qingchen handed him, and poured a cup of tea for Nie Xingfeng and himself: "This kid wants me to find you, and I arranged for Brother Feng to search around, but there is no news of you. Fortunately, you are here." Otherwise, this kid would not even be willing to take the exam this year!"

Lan Fulang looked at the stone: "Really? How can you change your ambition at will?"

Xiaoshi rubbed his ears, smiled and stuck out his tongue.

In the evening, there was a sumptuous reception banquet, and a lot of seafood dishes from the imperial capital were cooked. Lan Fulang was from the imperial capital, so he ate very well.

Yunmo, Baili Songran and Qian Xiaoran were invited after dinner.

"Let's go and sit in the back, you can chat here!" Nie Xingfeng didn't like the gossip between Shen and the son of Huangdu, so he took Xiao Shitou and the others to the back.

"Brother Shen, you have done such a big thing recently, you are amazing!" Yun Mo said cheerfully as soon as he came.

"It's just following the trend. Brother Yun would definitely do better than me." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Brother Yun, Brother Shen, you guys are so polite and familiar with each other." Baili scolded with a relaxed smile, while Shen Luo and Yun Mo smiled at each other.

"This time our Mr. Yun came here to kill all directions in Fenzhou. He arrested more than 20 people and confiscated more than 30 silver." Qian Xiaoran said.

Baili scratched his head loosely: "Fortunately, I'm also very busy recently, otherwise I would be inferior to him."

Qian Xiaoran couldn't help giving him a white look: "Ah Luo didn't take credit for it, but you're lucky, the theater watchers contribute more than the opera singers, right?"

Baili Song said disdainfully: "Who says I'm a theatergoer, I'm on stage too!"

Shen Luo laughed: "Speaking of going on stage, I have prepared a good spot for you. It was Jian Cong who said so. I thought it must be you."

"What?" Baili Songran asked proudly and curiously.

"I'm about to start renting houses and shops. I'm going to follow Jian Cong's suggestion and set up a new yamen, the yamen of the Imperial Capital Housing Department. You will be the fifth-rank chief envoy. Whether it's merchants or ordinary people, you have to stay with me." Make a cutscene." Shen Luo said.

"Isn't this errand just for me?" Baili said proudly, patting the table.

Yun Mo chuckled: "I don't know if you are capable or not, but you are getting thicker." After speaking, he took out two bank notes: "My father's 10 taels, De Wang's 20 taels, they Knowing that we have a good relationship, I will give it to you when I come, so I didn’t think too much about it before!”

Shen Luo smiled slightly: "I was about to ask you for it, so you took it out."

"Hahaha!" Baili laughed loosely: "He asked for money all over again. You're not here, otherwise you think you can escape!"

Yun Mo smiled: "I'm back, but I haven't arranged a seat yet, so it's not as busy as you guys."

Shen Luo shook his head: "You must be appointed soon, we all look at you as the number one scholar in the same year!"

Yun Mo thought for a while, but didn't speak.

After seeing them off, Shen Luo went back to the back hall and saw that Lan Fulang and the others were still there.

"Why haven't you gone to rest yet?" Shen Luo asked curiously.

"Isn't this waiting for you to come back and chat?" Brother Tie said comfortably.

He doesn't like dealing with people, but Shen Luo, Nie Xingfeng and Long Qingchen all have a touch of humanity, not boring, but very real.

As for the little stone that pleases his husband, he naturally likes it.

"Cheated the bank note again?" Nie Xingfeng looked at the bank note in Shen Luo's hand: "Wow, 30 taels."

Shen Luo let out a sigh of relief: "Yunxiang and King De."

Nie Xingfeng smiled: "I thought they weren't going to participate?"

The corners of Shen Luo's lips curled up slightly, full of confidence: "No one believes that this Nancheng renovation was done by me. They all suspect that it was the emperor's chess game, and I will benefit from it."

Lan Fulang looked at him: "When you come to the outskirts of the imperial capital, the people around you are talking about you, praising you as a good official who does things for the people."

Shen Luo propped his head on one hand, and on his young face, there was an expression of helplessness that didn't match, which was rarely seen under his usually stern face: "When I do things for the people, I just do a little bit on the basis of lessons learned from the past. It’s just a little thing, so it can be seen that in this world, such a vigorous event is not an earth-shaking event, but actually just turning an idea into practice.”

Lan Fulang nodded: "If you can think like this, there will be no end, and you won't stop before a mountain."

"Sir, is the money enough?" Little Stone asked curiously.

Shen Luo looked at him: "Not yet, but it's enough for Mr. to set up this big game."

"They all said that the master said that it is impossible to complete it in two years? Can it be done?" Little Stone looked at him worriedly.

"Of course." Shen Luo touched his shoulder: "No matter what you do, you must believe in your own judgment, and don't regret it if you do it. Go forward, and you will find that the road ahead is actually not so terrible."

Xiao Shitou nodded: "Well, I understand."

Lan Fulang looked at them: "Little Shitou is really lucky to have a gentleman like you."

Because of the arrival of Lan Fulang and his wife, Xiao Shitou's life became more busy. Although he didn't go to the academy to study, whether it was Shen Luo or some of the civil servants who came to visit, they were all extremely powerful contemporary celebrities.

Xiao Shitou's talent in reading has been reduced and transformed into a free-range cultivation, which requires him to learn more by himself. There are countless books at home, plus practical and practical approval memorials, and knowledge of many things. In a pragmatic way, the small stones will never return to the path of an elite political education.

Of course, the phrase "elite education" was summed up by Jian Cong later.

"Port construction, is this the rocky beach in Nancheng?" Emperor Qianyuan looked at Shen Luo who came to report and asked.

"Yes, all the materials for sea reclamation come from the waste soil dug out of the canals in the city, as well as the adobe rubble from the demolition of houses. It can be regarded as the best use of everything." Shen Luo said.

"What about the money? How much do you want this time?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"Ouyang's family will pay all the money. If it is divided, the imperial court will take [-]%, and the imperial capital will take [-]%. Taxes are not included in it." Shen Luo returned.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at Guowei: "How about this calculation?"

Guowei thought for a while: "The Ouyang family has made a lot of money, so we can only give them a 50-year time limit."

Emperor Qianyuan looked back at Shen Luo: "How is it?"

There was no superfluous expression on Shen Luo's face, just that kind of serious expression: "I think it's possible, and it can even be reduced, but Ouyang's family invested 150 million in Nancheng, which can be regarded as fully supporting the court."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "The handwriting is very big, it is indeed good."

"Your Majesty, take a look, he actually manages the wharf of the imperial capital, and he is the only merchant." Shen Luo hinted.

"It's nothing to give him an imperial merchant, but you have to know that the imperial merchants here will do their best every time there is a catastrophe." Emperor Qianyuan tapped.

Shen Luo curled up his lips and smiled: "Flooding in the same city, their family's 50 yuan, bought a picture of the emperor, didn't they already express their attitude?"

"Hmph, my words don't bend the lintel of their family!" Emperor Qianyuan said jokingly.

"Of course, I heard that their family has been hung in the ancestral hall and will be a family heirloom." Shen Luo relayed what Ouyang He said.

"Yes." Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Luo thanked him: "I heard that Yun Mocha's greedy ink is very effective. I am very impressed and want to learn it, but?"

Guowei couldn't help but snorted coldly and looked at Shen Luo with a serious expression on his face: "You boy, speak directly."

Shen Luo replied: "The teacher's lesson is that the students think, can the corrupt officials in the imperial capital confiscate their family property?"

"Don't even think about it, unless you want to be killed by ginseng." Emperor Qianyuan said: "No one can put the stolen goods of officials who investigate corruption and ink into their pockets. Of course, I believe that you are here to solve the Nancheng matter."

Shen Luo looked at Emperor Qianyuan: "Nancheng has nearly 300 million ministers, and it can be completely solved. Not only will it be completely completed within two years, but the emperor's money will also be paid back."

"Repay the money in two years?" Emperor Qianyuan said, "Ah Luo, I know you are not a greedy person, so I don't think you are lying."

"Only two years." Shen Luo said firmly.

"Isn't it calculated from the tax at the dock?" Guowei also asked.

"The terminal tax is still divided into [-]% and it is not included in it. It is just to increase revenue for the national treasury." Shen Luo said.

"Then what do you need money for?" Guowei asked.

"Build all the rural towns around the entire imperial capital with dual carriageways, including stone bridges in river ditches." Shen Luo said thinking about the way to Yuanfang Village.

Emperor Qianyuan took a deep breath: "You child, hehe, I just can't judge you well. It seems that you are planning to do what the predecessors have not done for decades. It will take 50 years for the descendants to do it." Things to do."

"If you don't do it, you have to do it. These things can't be postponed if you don't do them. The people of Dafeng will only become richer and richer. What you do is supported by the emperor. What if future generations don't have such a heart?" ?" Shen Luo's words reached Emperor Qianyuan's heart.

"I am not afraid of people's evaluation, what I want is this piece of land." After saying this, Emperor Qianyuan remembered that there was no one behind him, he couldn't help but sighed, and immediately said: "By the way, how is the boy Xiaoshi? "

"He's so happy!" Shen Luo said, and told about Xiyun Xiaoshitou's adoption of a godfather and a godfather. Emperor Qianyuan and Guowei listened in amazement.

"This is an interesting story, isn't Xiao Shitou happy?" Emperor Qianyuan asked with a smile.

"Yeah, but this kid is still good. He said every day that he should study hard and get a number one in the exam in the future, so that he can support me and his gang."

"Haha, you taught me well." Emperor Qianyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Shen Luo with the loving eyes of an elder.
