Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

How can it be unbearable for a person who is busy every day to be idle suddenly.After sleeping soundly on the first day, Wang Xiujin felt overwhelmed and couldn't stay still.It's not that I want to help the eldest sister get the list of New Year's gifts, but the elder sister reaches out and slaps off the paws that are going to get the finished list, and then coaxes them out of the yard.Wang Xiujin was helpless, so he wanted to go to the housekeeper to have a look. The eldest brother handed over the marriage to the housekeeper. He couldn't do tiring work, and it didn't matter if he helped check the gates. He didn't want to be sent out by the housekeeper respectfully as soon as he saw the housekeeper. .Wang Xiujin stood in the yard and looked up at the sky, feeling as if he was superfluous, raised his hand and patted his forehead, cleared his mind, and went to see his mother.

Stepping into the courtyard where his parents lived, Wang Xiujin didn't let the servant who was pruning the branches of the tree enter the house to pass the message, but walked directly into the house.The ancients were very particular about etiquette, and men and women would not do anything out of the ordinary during the day, so Wang Xiujin didn't have to shy away from it.When he entered the house, he saw his mother selecting materials, and Wang Xiujin walked to her side in a few steps.Mrs. Wang raised her head and saw that it was her son, so she put the material on Yidi, "Health is good, but my ex scared me." Mrs. Wang took the young son's hand and looked at her son carefully. Former spirit. "Looking refreshed."

"Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry." Wang Xiujin stood next to his mother, "I promise I will never tire myself out again." Wang Xiujin knew that his mother was worried about him. When he woke up that day, his mother fed him with her own hands, and kept watch again. He stayed up all night, until he woke up to make sure he was fine, and was persuaded to go back to sleep.Wang Xiujin felt very sorry for his mother. His mother's health had improved in recent years, but she was frightened by his sudden fainting. Fortunately, he invited a doctor to take a pulse. There was nothing wrong with him, otherwise his crime would be serious.

"You! I wanted to say a long time ago that the family has enough money. Even your elder brother, you don't have to worry about it. It should be the elder brother who is the father. He should take care of you. How can you turn it around? Take care of him. I know you are high-minded, but you have to do what you can." Mrs. Wang patted her son's hand, "Now that the sect is divided, the housekeeper and the shopkeeper in the city will take care of the affairs of the field. You can concentrate on Do what the emperor told you to do."

"Mother, my son knows." Wang Xiujin smiled wryly.Speaking of the field, Wang Xiujin wondered if the fourth prince had arrived in the capital now, and why there was no response to the letter sent to the capital before?

The fourth prince has not yet arrived in the capital, but in the capital, except for a few generals who have been able to defend the city, they have the air of celebrating the New Year. None, I'm afraid that they will be the next ones to be summoned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Although there is not much joy in General Li's mansion, it is not in danger.This year, a lot of things happened in the general's mansion, and some people came to plead for mercy, so the Li family simply closed their doors to thank the guests. He wanted to have a detailed chat with Prime Minister Wang, although Li Junliang didn't want to see his father-in-law, but he also knew that his father-in-law was very knowledgeable.

After traveling all the way, he finally arrived at Wu County before Wang Xiubai got married.When General Li came, Wang Xiubo would greet him at the gate of the city. Although civil and military officials have never dealt with it since ancient times, but the official position is there, and if you don't deal with a small county magistrate, you have to salute respectfully.However, Li Junliang did not allow Wang Xiubai to pay his respects, "This time I am only here to visit relatives, I don't see you in casual clothes."

"Uncle Li." Wang Xiubo called out very kindly.Li Junliang was overjoyed when he heard the words, raised his hand and patted Wang Xiubai's shoulder, then rubbed his hands and stepped into the city, asking Wang Xiubai how he was preparing for his marriage.Wang Xiubai grinned behind Li Junliang. The two slaps just now were really painful. If it wasn't for fear of attracting people's eyes, he would definitely rub it and apply a hot towel after returning.

Li Junliang only heard about Wang Xiujin's fainting a few days ago when he arrived at Wangcun. After meeting his in-laws, he didn't wait for Wang Xiujin to visit him, but went to see the younger generation himself.Wang Xiubo looked at his father, he thought his father would stop him, after all it was not proper for the elders who came to see the younger generation, and the younger brother was already in good health, if this spread, it would be nice to hear that General Li attached great importance to the younger brother, no All the good words have to be pinned on the younger brother's head.Wang Huanzhi got up, leaving only one sentence to go to the study, and then left.Wang Xiubo looked at his mother, his father had a weird personality, and his mother had to say a few words.

"It'll be fine." Mrs. Wang patted her eldest son's hand and told the girl to take the wheelchair back to the yard.

Wang Xiubo was unwilling to see that no one cared, but he couldn't follow him to his brother's yard.Just after he ordered the housekeeper to prepare the yard for the guests, he wanted to wait for General Li here, so he listened to the servant saying that the yamen servants were looking for someone. After seeing the yamen servants, Wang Xiubo could only rush back to the city. .

Wang Xiujin was very surprised to see General Li. Because of his young age and no official position, after Wang Xiujin learned that General Li had arrived, he planned to wait for the housekeeper to arrange the accommodation before going to visit him. How could he have thought that General Li would suddenly Come and see him. "Uncle Li." Li Junliang looked mature, but he was not as old as Wang Huanzhi, so he should be called uncle.Wang Xiujin got up to salute, but was stopped by Li Junliang.

"I'm here because I have two things to tell you." Li Junliang came here in person, not only for the New Year's gift and to attend the happy event at his in-law's family, but also to chat with the former Prime Minister Wang, and to have a chat with Wang Xiujin. chat.

Wang Xiujin poured tea for General Li, and after waving his hand to order the servants to leave, he sat down and waited for General Li to speak.

"The first thing is the matter of two crops of rice. It is a good thing for the country and the people." General Li did not draw a circle, but directly stated, "It is the intention of the Holy One to try two crops in three cities from the south. Rice, please send someone to guide you.” General Li didn’t have any thoughts against God’s will, he felt that as long as there was food to keep the people from starving, it would be a great achievement to fill the country’s granaries.

Wang Xiujin nodded, "Taxes?"

"It's still the same as before." Li Junliang gave the correct words. "If you violate it, you will be executed."

Wang Xiujin gasped. He knew that the laws of the ancients were strict, but he had never seen a beheading.Then I thought about how lucky my father was to bring the whole family back to his hometown. If a tyrant would have ransacked their entire family long ago.

"Xiu Jin! You are far away from the capital, and you probably don't know much about the affairs of the capital." Li Junliang looked at Wang Xiujin meaningfully. Because of a letter, everyone in the capital is in danger, no matter whether it is a scholar or a military officer. The house was under the care of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and a lot of things happened. There were not a few people who were invited to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Ha..." Wang Xiujin looked at General Li in confusion, what do you mean?Although he is not in the capital, he also maintains correspondence with Li Sushan in the capital, but he has not received any letter from Li Sushan recently.

Li Junliang looked at Wang Xiujin, wondering how the child would react if he knew that his letter had caused so many things.Li Junliang didn't say whether there was any correspondence between Mr. Liu and the barbarians, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, nor did he say that the money recorded in Mr. Liu's family's financial book could cover half of the national treasury, not to mention how the number of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry brought out would make the emperor furious.He only said that Hubu Shangshu felt that planting two crops of rice was against the harmony of nature.

"Fart, ignorance, ignorance." Wang Xiujin jumped up and stared. "If you are a good farmer, let alone two rice crops a year, you can even try three crops of rice." Wang Xiujin remembered seeing three crops of rice in some news, but it was impossible to do it with his own strength.

"Really?" Li Junliang stood up in shock.

"I can't do it. It really needs a good farmer. From raising seedlings to transplanting seedlings, it takes years of experience to advance little by little." Wang Xiujin shook his head, "It is a great progress to be able to promote two-crop rice now. "

Li Junliang thinks about it too. If two crops of rice can be grown in the south, the annual output will increase a lot. "It's because I was impatient." After speaking, he laughed a few times. Maybe in a few years, Wang Xiujin will be able to grow three crops of rice.Li Junliang chatted with Wang Xiujin for some more, then got up and left. He still wanted to see Wang Huanzhi, and when he reached the door, he took out a letter from his jacket, "This is a letter from Su Shan, Su Shan That child has suffered a lot since he was a child, and you two should be well in the future."

Wang Xiujin hurriedly responded, but he despised Li Junliang in his heart, what did he do long ago.Don't look at General Li trying to make up for his past mistakes now, but he is not much different from his father.One doesn't care about things, although he protects his son, he doesn't cheat his son less.On the other hand, he put his son to death, and when his son regained his life, he suddenly came to his senses, regretted it, and wanted to make up for it. Ass.After sending General Li away, Wang Xiujin secretly rolled his eyes, and then went back to the house to open the letter.

General Li said that he was going to look for Wang Huanzhi, but he turned around and followed the housekeeper to the resting yard. He never had time to take a good look at the house of the Wang family. Under the recommendation of the housekeeper, General Li took a general look around the house. , I have to sigh that the house is well repaired.Back in the courtyard, the earth dragon had already attracted the house, drying the moisture in the house. General Li washed up briefly, took a nap, and then went out to look for Wang Huanzhi.

In the Wuxian inn, the two brothers of the Chun family were sitting around the table, "Today I heard that General Li from the capital personally brought people over to give the New Year's gift, and he will leave after the eldest son of Wang gets married." Jinshi Chun was very kind to his sister. He was very opposed to this marriage, because it was an imperial decree, and he had to comply. He was always worried about his sister coming in and suffering. , You will definitely have a good time in the Wang family.

Miss Chun nodded. A few days ago, she hid behind others and saw Mr. Wang. He looked very handsome, behaved well and treated others politely. "Brother, don't worry."

"So what if you don't worry, the imperial decree has been issued, and you can still resist the decree." Jinshi Chun smiled helplessly, "Fortunately, Wang Xiubai is a good person. With the family tradition of the Wang family, Wang Xiubai will not take concubines in the future."

"Brother!" Miss Chun was blushed by the elder brother's words, and she was unwilling to talk with the elder brother, "I'm going back to my room."

"What's there to blush, if it wasn't for your sister-in-law who is inconvenient and can't come with you, how can I say that." Chun Jinshi shook his head, "When you were in the capital, if your mother told you to take a concubine for your husband, Just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Brother doesn't blush when you say this, my sister-in-law gave you a concubine when she was just pregnant." Miss Chun revealed her brother's truth quite forcefully, "It's not a woman's decision to accept a concubine for a prince, but If I don’t mention it, it will appear that I’m not virtuous or magnanimous enough.” Chun Jinshi was choked up by his younger sister, thinking that when he saw Wang Xiubo, he needed to have a good chat with him.

General Li went to Wu County, and the magistrate of Xiangcheng followed him. The magistrate wanted to see General Li, but he didn't want General Li to live in the Wang family. I was still on the sidelines about the matter before, and although he was convenient to the Wang family everywhere, he didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward. Firstly, Prime Minister Wang's reputation as an upright official was too great, and secondly, he was afraid that the affairs of the Wang and Li families would not be completed. At that time, he didn't climb up to the Li family, but was hated by the Li family instead.

Wang Xiubo guessed that the magistrate came here for General Li, but he didn't show it. Since the magistrate said it was a visit, he took it as the truth.

The door of Wang's study has been closed since General Li entered, not even opened for dinner.Mrs. Wang took the two children to eat first. As for the evening room of the husband and guests, it was kept warm in the kitchen. Whenever the door was opened, it would be delivered at any time.Unexpectedly, the dinner was delayed until the next morning, when the door of the study was only opened at dawn, and it happened to be seen by Wang Xiujin who was running.Wang Xiujin's eyes widened with horror on his face.

Wang Huanzhi's complexion is not very good. Although he is no longer an official in the court, Mr. Liu's affair with barbarism did not happen overnight. It may have started when the late Emperor was in power. He has hidden it too deeply for so many years. Who would have thought Mr. Liu, who is careful and budgetary everywhere, knows how to be brutal.Thinking of the rampant greed in the court, Wang Huanzhi couldn't help gloating, and thinking of how many people had letters and correspondences with people outside the border, Wang Huanzhi was very depressed. Although he couldn't deal with warriors, he knew how to kill enemies In such a difficult situation, a group of literati in Daliang, Heshan, who had exchanged their lives with their lives, did not say how to help the emperor to guard it better, but they dug their own graves one by one. What are these people's minds pretending to be!

General Li has a serious face, but he has a high opinion of Wang Huanzhi in his heart. He used to think that Wang Huanzhi was no different from all civil servants. After a night of detailed discussions, General Li changed his opinion greatly. The literati are definitely better than the gang of people who betrayed the country.

The reason why Wang Xiujin was horrified was that seeing his father and General Li look like good brothers, it was really unacceptable for a while.He ran back to the room in a hurry and threw himself on the bed. It must be because he woke up in the wrong way this morning.
