Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 458
The reason why Shen Zhezi wanted to arrest these two strong men was simply to see that they lived too easily.Once upon a time, he also had the dandy pursuit of calling friends and having fun, but most of the time, he suffered from lack of skills.

Seeing your dreams being fulfilled by others, there will be no indignation, only relief.

Yu Manzhi and Shen Yun followed Shen Zhezi into a side courtyard with their heads drooping. Seeing him ordering to summon many disciples, it looked like he was about to make a big move, and their expressions became even more bitter.It's not that they are afraid of hard work, the key is that they don't have any military resources to use right now, and burying their heads in papers is no better than riding horses in the fields.

"You two often wander around the suburbs, do you know where there are many barren mounds?"

While waiting for Ren Qiu to gather his disciples, Shen Zhezi asked the two of them.

"Desolate mound? That's naturally Wugang in Dunan. Within a radius of ten feet, there are layers of corpses. It's so dark at night that no one dares to approach it. Even I rarely go to Dunan for hunting. go."

Yu Manzhi asked without hesitation, and then asked curiously: "Why do you ask these questions?"

Dunan Wugang is a collective name for several hills in the south of Jiankang City, including Meigang where Shen Zhezi went before, and Shizigang.Especially Shizigang, it has been a mass grave until later generations.The more famous Nanjing Yuhuatai in later generations is located near here.

"Except for Wugang?"

Shen Zhezi asked again, Jiankang City needs a lot of building materials to renovate and build, and the mountains and forests around Gyeonggi may not be spared.Since you want to do it, you might as well do it thoroughly, and not only those families with old names and surnames, such as the mass grave in Shizigang, Shen Zhezi also plans to clean up and repair it.

Although the past is over, if this matter can be done well, it will bring great emotional comfort to the living.

"We went out for hunting, not to visit some deserted tombs. Could it be, son-in-law, you plan to find..."

When Yu Manzhi spoke up to this point, he looked at Shen Zhezi with strange eyes.Since the Han Dynasty, rich burials have become a common practice, and the behavior of tomb robbery has been repeatedly banned among the people nowadays.Even the tomb of Bian Po, a loyal man, was excavated decades later.

"Could it be that the family has become so difficult...Since my elder brother has plans, it's not easy to entrust this matter to outsiders, so let me..."

Halfway through Shen Yun's speech, his forehead was hit by a marble thrown by Shen Zhezi.

"What do you want me to do? You know how difficult it is to have a family? Right now, the second brother will be your role model in the future!"

Shen Zhezi scolded with a smile, feeling tired because of the brains of these two people, not to mention whether those deserted tombs that were not picked up were buried with them, even if they were, the time he took people to dig graves to do other things may not be what he got. just bad.

Besides, he doesn't care about ghosts and gods.Unofficial anecdotes also say that Wen Fangzhi of Wen Qiao's family died in Jiaozhou because he was revenged by ghosts for digging people's graves.Believe it or not, it's all right. The key is that it is not necessary.

"You don't have to think about it. There are many barren mounds in the countryside. Even if you don't talk about sin, it will hurt people. Right now, it's for the stability of the living. As for the dead, you can't ignore it. I'm going to make a request for advice later. By relocating those barren tombs and reburying them in one place, even if they don't enjoy the sacrifice of the living people, at least they can have a place to live in the tombs and comfort the living people."

Shen Zhezi pointed at the two of them and said: "This is not a matter of national use, but it is also quite complicated. You two are wandering all day long, and your minds have become loose. Why don't you help me out. If there are one or two sages, there will be a lot of trouble in the future." It can also gain a little more trust."

They were relieved to hear that Shen Zhezi didn't intend to arrest them and serve in Taicheng, but after hearing this, they still looked embarrassed.To dig out those barren tombs and rebury them?Thinking about it makes me feel bad.

"Brother, if no one else touches this kind of thing, why do you bother to recruit it yourself? If there are still children in those barren mounds, the children and grandchildren don't care. Even if we help, they won't be grateful. If you die , that is fate..."

Shen Yun muttered in a low voice, almost saying that Shen Zhezi was looking for trouble.

Yu Manzhi could figure out the political opportunity contained in this matter, but it was really hard to be willing.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's settled like that. Don't you want my kiosk car? If things are done well, the car will belong to you. And Sanlang, if you dare to be lazy, then I will send a letter to my uncle , ask him to send you to the Imperial Academy."

"understood."

When Yu Manzhi heard this, his expression collapsed and he nodded obediently.

On the other hand, Shen Yun showed joy on his face. He had nothing to do. Some of the goods rewarded for his meritorious service at the beginning of the year were spotted by his old man and sent back home. Shen Zhezi was very moved by this condition.After pondering for a while, he said again: "In addition to the pavilion chariot, I also need two sets of Mingguang armor and ten sets of armor..."

"What do you need so much for?"

Hearing Shen Yunshi opened his mouth, Shen Zhezi frowned.Even his collection of Mingguang armor is only a dozen pieces, and they are all old items from China and North Korea. If the Liyang Army hadn't looted the court's arsenal and spread these armors, he would not have collected so many.

Some time ago, he hid so many craftsmen, and he couldn't even find a craftsman who systematically mastered the entire process.Speaking of this, it is really frustrating.In the current ordnance manufacturing, the skill of Mingguang armor is undoubtedly the top, and a large number of outstanding craftsmen are concentrated in Luoyang.

Here in Jiangdong, Zhongxing established the system, but before Emperor Yuan became emperor, he was just a pony of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and it was impossible and unconscious to recruit such craftsmen.After the great chaos in the Northland, although refugees came south in large numbers, there were not many strategic talents who really mastered the core forging and armor making skills.

Quite a few of them fell into the hands of Jiehu after Sima Yue, king of the East China Sea, was defeated by Shi Le.The other part fled west and entered Guanzhong.

"Run Raccoon is quite well-known in the capital right now, and has more than ten disciples under his name."

Yu Manzhi explained with a smile, while Shen Yun blushed and looked at Shen Zhezi expectantly.He had been coveting Mingguang Kai's mighty and domineering appearance for a long time, and it was rare to have a chance to ask for it, so his heart was very hot.

"Don't think about the Mingguang armor. It's useless if you want the vest. No matter what nonsense, there are no booths!"

Collecting these precious armor tools, Shen Zhezi was planning to send them to Wujiang's own feudal kingdom, so that those craftsmen could study their skills, so it was naturally impossible to use them for Shen Yun's mischief.

When Shen Yun heard this, he immediately froze, not daring to sit still and raise the price.

Not long after, 30 to [-] people poured in outside the gate, all of whom were disciples of the Shen family called by Ren Qiu.Nowadays, although the meaning of a disciple is the same as that of a servant in Buqu, it does not have slave status, and its scope is wider.

As for Shen Zhezi's disciples in the capital, in addition to being promoted from his family's shadow, there are also a large number of poor and good families who join in, hoping to use the power and connections of the Shen family to seek a higher level of advancement. The nature is similar to that of Ren Qiu. .

In addition to waiting for orders, these disciples often have to deliver a large amount of goods to the lord without interruption.From this point of view, disciples are similar to diners in the Warring States Period.

Not counting the people brought by his family, Shen Zhezi recruited nearly 300 students in the capital alone.The vast majority of these people are not desperate and committed slaves. Some are like Ren Qiu with a little reputation in the village, and some like Tian Jing are talented and recruited by Shen Zhezi. They each have their own connections and talents. For slaves in the general sense, this is already a very important force.

Even if Shen Zhezi doesn't do anything right now, the contribution of his disciples alone is worth tens of thousands of dollars every month, which makes him feel like Boss Du of Shanghai Bund.Naturally, he doesn't need to rely on the contribution of these disciples to make a living, but this is the current trend. Many celebrities in the north and south have no financial ability themselves, so they can only rely on this income to live and maintain expenses.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi is not good at being unconventional and avoiding the contributions of these students.Besides, to be honest, the more these students put in, the easier it is to gain trust and opportunities.And there are quite a few of them, after the recent turmoil, in order to avoid being purged, they devoted themselves to the Shen family to express their position and avoid disaster.

Many disciples, some have been selected and sent to work in various places, and some have their own family business, and they will only come to the mansion when the lord calls for orders.The only ones that really stay at home to listen to are those in front of you.

When these disciples got started, Shen Zhezi repeated what he had told Yu Manzhi and Shen Yun just now, ordered these people to sort out a charter, and then assigned tasks to each of them to perform their duties.When he dispatched these people, he was actually selecting truly capable people and then recommending them to serve.

Students like Shen Zhezi are of relatively high quality, and they were selected from among many contributors.As Yu Manzhi complained about before, there are so many people in the market, many of them want to invest in the government.

The benefits of popularity are reflected here. Shen Zhezi is young, famous and has a bright future, especially at the moment when the Shen family is leading such a big project as the construction of a new capital, so there are many children from poor families who want to take refuge in him.There are even many people who directly bring in large carts of goods, just to be able to become disciples.

If Shen Zhezi opens his mouth to accept, the number of disciples will definitely increase several times!Right now, among the children of the impoverished families in the capital, being able to become a son-in-law's disciple is something to be proud of.It is precisely because of this that these students are very proactive, and they can complete what they are ordered to do very well.

Seeing these disciples expressing their views and sorting out the regulations, Shen Zhezi looked at one of the more active young people, and his mind moved, he waved his hand and said, "Bian Qilang, come here."
