Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 429
In early spring and March, there are more and more sunshine.

Yu Manzhi half-lyed on a pebble outside the bamboo forest, his eyes were a little empty.He was covered with a burlap single jacket, and a brocade jacket wrapped inside, which looked a little nondescript, but in fact it was the fashion trend in the city.

After the rebellion, there were only tens of thousands of plains left in the treasury. These burlap were not colored, and were relatively original. They were originally warehouse goods accumulated from the taxes paid by the localities in the past years. Even the rebels looked down on them. In the warehouse by the Qinhuai River.

As the weather warmed up, Wang Dao and other ministers came up with the idea of ​​using these rough cloths to tailor their clothes, and each bought a set of clothes for entry and exit.What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom, so the cloth shirt is very popular in the capital, and everyone regards it as beautiful.

In this way, it can be regarded as a temporary solution to the central cost.And Wang Dao also gained a great reputation because of this, and became a momentary talk.

But Shen Zhezi didn't take it very seriously. It is true that such an act is full of celebrity atmosphere and is in line with the current interest, but to be honest, this is not what the central minister should do.If Yu Tiao's Cangbu Lang did this to clear the bottom of the warehouse and generate income for the court, it would indeed be a good talk and worth promoting.

But Dao Wang is in charge of the Taibao, and the people's livelihood and politics of the entire Jiangdong are his scope of office.Even if the number of these cloths is doubled several times, the income won't even be enough for the monthly salary of many ministers.There is no way to really improve the central finance, but unfortunately no one has done it, no one has dared to do it.

Now the Empress Dowager who moved to Jianping Garden sent people to send hundreds of pieces of cloth to the Princess Mansion when the trend was strong some time ago, and Shen Zhezi resold them to the family members in the mansion, and they each took advantage of the high price to sell them. The government sells it to subsidize the family.

A few days ago, during the Shangsi Festival, Shen Zhezi dressed up in fur clothes and went to the gathering by the Qingxi River. When I went to the scene, I found that most of the people were wearing cloth shirts, and some people who were addicted to casual clothes were even rubbed by the coarse hemp silk. With bloodstains all over his body, he still enjoys himself.Shen Zhezi's normal attire turned out to be different, and he bought a few feet of cloth nearby to cover his body to deal with the matter.

After the beginning of March, construction in the capital also ushered in a peak period. In addition to the palace gardens that were being repaired, the surrounding areas of Changganli that had been demolished into white land were also under construction at the same time.

Although there is still debate in Taichung about how to overhaul the city, many people do not agree with Shen Zhezi's grand vision, but the minimum residential buildings must be built.After all, a large number of refugee families cannot live in the refugee camp for a long time. Even if the ministers don't care about the well-being of the common people, if so many people are in the hands of Shen Zhezi, some people will always feel restless.

Although the overall structure has not been approved, the several squares in Changganli that are currently under construction are also arranged in the layout.Even if it is built first, there is no conflict with the subsequent fortifications.

Even so, the amount of construction at the moment alone is unprecedentedly large since Guojiang Zhongxing, and [-] to [-] people have been invested.The city wall and the houses were built together, and the slaves were credited with their hard work, and three men belonged to one household. The houses they built were their homes.

Originally, due to too many rumors and overly tough tactics, Shen Zhezi's reputation in the capital has weakened, and even the refugees have hidden resentment towards him.But with the announcement of this decree, his reputation has climbed to a peak.

Because this decree not only relieved their worries about the future, but also gave them a real hope.Regardless of ancient or modern times, houses occupy an important place in people's hearts, and there is no house without a home.

Too many people have been displaced because of the destruction of their homes, and they don't know where they will go in the future. But now, as long as they work hard and meet the merit standards, they can be granted housing, and they are still good citizens.

For a while, the enthusiasm of the people was stimulated to the peak, and the fortifications were extremely heavy, but the participation rate was still extremely high.Even many people who have joined the big families in surrounding counties and counties as shade households, drag their families with them before returning to Jiankang.

Generally speaking, there are always two sides to doing practical things.People's prestige is high, but official prestige may not be so, and now the court is also arguing endlessly because of this arrangement.Shen Zhezi simply took advantage of Fu Yiqu's lofty integrity and resigned directly from his post. Anyway, things were on track, and others were left to argue.

Regardless of the dispute in Taichung, since the decree has been promulgated, it is impossible to stop it.If it is overthrown, not to mention that it will cause the people in the capital to boil, those Wuzhong people will not give up. There are repetitions, the loss is not counted in millions, it is definitely worth fighting for.

Due to the heavy construction in the capital, Shen Zhezi simply took his family and came to live in the east of the city.His family has a lot of real estate around Jiankang City, some are dowry brought by the princess, and some are rewarded by the court at the beginning of the year. There are more than ten Zhuangzi in various places, all over the countryside.

Since returning to the capital, Shen Zhezi has been busy with disaster relief and promoting the construction of the new capital, so he doesn't have much leisure time.Now that I'm out, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Right now he is wearing a bamboo hat, sitting in the bamboo pavilion and fishing in the pond, two small fishes the size of tails and palms are already placed in the bamboo crate and earthen pot at his feet.

Princess Xingnan was sitting on a bed next to Shen Zhezi, wearing a pink and white jacket as a man's attire, her delicate face was full of heroism, her eyes were fixed on the float on the water, and her fingers holding the fishing rod were faint. A little pale, with an expression of nervous anticipation.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but I saw the fish floating on the water tremble in a trance, Princess Xingnan's eyes suddenly became bright, and her back was faintly straightened.

Just as he was counting on the opportunity to lift the rod, he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing beside him. Turning his head to look, he saw that Shen Zhezi's fishing rod had been lifted up, and a fish with shiny scales was hanging on the end of the fishing line. Vigorously twisting and jumping.

"My fish is about to take the bait, and I was scared away by you again!"

Princess Xingnan immediately picked up the fishing rod, looked at the bare hook, frowned, looked at Shen Zhezi angrily, and complained a lot.

Shen Zhezi laughed, and carried the fish into the pavilion. The little maid Gua Er who had been waiting by the side stepped forward to pick the fish and put it into the earthen pot with a smile, but seeing the princess's resentful expression, she timidly retreated .

"Fishing requires static work. If you lift the pole frequently, you will scare away no matter how many fish are."

Ever since Shen Zhezi first caught a fish, this girl has been struggling with her breath, but unfortunately she has never caught anything.

Yu Manzhi laughed beside him and said, "Fishing with a hook is not an open door to accept guests. Life and death are at stake, so the fish must be cautious. The princess is not good at it..."

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end, because Princess Xingnan had already turned to look over, and Yu Manzhi immediately understood, and shut up obediently.He has been spending time in Shenjiayuan's house recently, and he is also in awe of this cousin.

"Brother, don't moan and sigh near me, those fish were all scared away by you!"

Princess Xingnan said angrily, blaming Yu Manzhi bluntly, eating her family's food, drinking her family's food and living in her family's house, she didn't realize that she didn't wander around the young couple at all, she was as dazzling as a road-finding lantern, and even made sarcastic remarks!
Yu Man's face was getting thicker, and after hearing the words, he simply went into the pavilion and squatted next to Shen Zhezi, smiling at the princess, "I'm near my brother-in-law now, princess, if you work hard, you will definitely get something!"

Seeing this, Princess Xingnan's pretty face became even more stern, and she simply threw the fishing rod, angrily said to Shen Zhezi: "Look what kind of guests you have invited, don't you know that they also have private things to say!"

After saying that, she left the bamboo pavilion angrily.The little maid, Guaer, chased after two steps, then turned her head to look at Shen Zhezi, and hurried up after seeing the gentleman nodding.

After being complained by the princess, Shen Zhezi really felt that he had no way to defend himself. Looking at Yu Manzhi, who cheerfully chased away the princess and then sat on the bed, Shen Zhezi couldn't help being speechless.Strictly speaking, this shameless brat is not considered a relative on his side, is he?
Yu Manzhi didn't have the self-consciousness of being a villain, looking at the fishing rod thrown on the ground by the princess, he couldn't help sighing, looked at Shen Zhezi and said empathetically, "Oh, my aunt is also a very gentle elder, It's a pity... the lady is so aggressive, it's really embarrassing for the son-in-law."

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi raised his foot and kicked Yu Man's calf. His wife's aggressiveness was towards others, and the housekeeper was as gentle as water towards it.It's just this boudoir fun, how can I tell others about it.

Yu Manzhi hugged his calf and giggled, then picked up the fishing rod that the princess dropped and threw the hook into his hand again, and then began to sigh and sigh as usual recently.Sighing, he looked at Shen Zhezi frequently, wanting to start the conversation, but Shen Zhezi just looked at the water and didn't bother to talk to him.

This kid has a lot of sentimentality lately, that's because he suffers from premarital anxiety.A month ago, his father sent a letter that he had already arranged a marriage for him. He had successfully cut off the scholar's beard. He was engaged to Xi's family and was going to get married at the end of the year.Yu Liang has been dead for more than a year, and Yu Manzhi's filial piety as a concubine for a year is not considered excessive.

Shen Zhezi originally planned to let his family cut off his husband, but his family really didn't have any good choices, not to mention that the span of marrying directly with the Xi family was a bit too big, and his family alone didn't even have a suitable candidate.The brothers in the near branch are all married, and the age of the lower ones is wrong, and it is impossible for the elders in the distant branch.

It is reasonable for Xi Jian to make such a choice. Now the situation has changed drastically. After losing Jingkou, he no longer has a strategic position to deter the Three Wus, and the weakness of the Yu family also makes him no longer upstream and downstream. grounds for confrontation.In this way, getting back the influence of Jingkou is more important than getting the support of the center.

Moreover, with Wang Shu leaving Zhenjiang Prefecture and the establishment of the accompanying capital of the capital, the Langya Wang family does not have much energy to invest in Jingkou.Neither of the two families had a strong need for marriage, so the Yu family took advantage of it.

Right now, the brothers of the Yu family are working separately, and Yu Bin and other brothers are also serving filial piety in the Jinling Mausoleum.

　A segment of [-] words is more reasonable, less words are unfinished, and more are too long-winded. . .Generally, it is not a special situation, and Dazhang should try to avoid it. . .
