Chapter 219
When he woke up in the morning, Shen Zhan walked around the yard and pushed the door of his son's room, only to find that it was locked. He ground his teeth and found a dagger to remove the door latch.

When I entered the room, I saw my son sleeping under the warm quilt with his butt pouted.

"What a weird posture." Shen Zhan lifted the quilt to cover it again, and found his round butt exposed, "What a bad habit."

Sleeping without pants.

He put his son on the ground, but the boy turned over and pouted his buttocks again. He was taken aback for a moment, and then with the help of the weak light, he found a big piece of wet on the bed.

Wet the bed, it was too cold, so I refused to sleep next to the bed, but pouted my butt.

"Xiao Bayue." Shen Zhan heard Su Wanru say that if he finds his son wets the bed, he must ignore it, or it will hurt his self-esteem, so he lifted his son up, "Get up, and go fight with Dad."

August opened one eye, yawned with tears in his eyes, shook his head, "Daddy, sleepy!"

"It's dawn." Shen Zhan retaliated, "It's time to get up." As he spoke, he didn't care if he woke up or not, he found pants and put them on for him, put on another casually, and went in with his son in his arms. In the bathroom, I drank cold water and wiped his face with a splash.

August's eyes widened, and she looked at her father in horror, her mouth trembling very quickly.

"Get up!" Shen Zhan said, "Men can't stay in bed."

August's brows also began to tremble, holding back her anger, she nodded aggrievedly, and muttered unconvinced: "I'm not a man."

Shen Zhan didn't listen to what he said, put his son down, and walked in the lead with his hands behind his back. August followed behind shaking his head. Shen Zhan took off his coat, revealing his strong chest, and started punching in the yard. looked with one eye and yawned three times.

"What's wrong with that eye." Shen Zhan stopped to look at his son, August said oh, and replied: "Father, the left eye is sleepy, let him sleep for a while."

Shen Zhan jumped on the scalp and kicked at his son. August stared at him, and both eyes opened. He fell to the left and rolled along the ground. He narrowly escaped and sighed: " so close!"

"Look at the trick." Shen Zhan kicked again, naturally unhappy, and August groaned and scrambled, "Mother, someone hit me..."

Shen Zhan stared and shouted: "If you dare to wake up your mother, I will drag you up in the middle of the night every day for the next month."

"Well," August covered her mouth, shook her head, frowned when she saw that his father was not moving, and said, "A tiger's poison does not eat its young."

Shen Zhan was furious, "Where did I learn that nonsense?"

"On the street." August replied: "Father, keep punching, don't hit me."

Shen Zhan didn't talk nonsense with him, and took out his own knife on the side. This knife was given to him by Xiao Shan, and it was indeed much easier to use than his previous ones. When the wind of the knife came, the fallen leaves broke into two pieces. Trembling, clutching his head and shrinking back, "Don't kill me."

Shen Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wanted to kick this kid back to Chengdu Mansion.

"Master Hou." Mei Yu came out of the room and said with a smile, "Shall I take August to make breakfast?"

Shen Zhan had seen enough of his son and wished for it, "Well, let's take it away."

"Uncle Mei." Gulu got up on August [-]st, held Mei Yu's hand affectionately, and whispered, "When is the war going on? Why is my father always resting?"

His voice was actually very low, but Shen Zhan could hear it clearly. Mei Yu quickly covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, your father has your father's arrangements."

"Really." August smiled, shook her head and said, "My father is reluctant to part with my mother."

Mei Yu smiled, shook her head and said: "This is a good thing, maybe you will have a younger sister in a year."

"Brother." August said, "Two sons, my father can't finish them all at once."

Tiger poison does not eat its offspring, he thinks his father can eat his offspring.

Mei Yu laughed out loud. He liked Su Wanru emotionally, so he was very happy for Shen Zhan to be disappointed. "Today cook a pot of porridge and buy some sesame seed cakes. Do you like sweet or salty ones?"

"Sweet." August replied: "There is also Fuxing, he likes it too."

Mei Yu nodded, "Then give Fu Xing two more."

The two of them went to the kitchen while chatting in full swing. Shen Zhan looked extremely upset and went back to the room angrily. Su Wanru had already woken up, lying lazily on the bed and shouting, "Rub my waist, it's sore!"

"Yeah." Shen Zhan suppressed her unhappiness and rubbed it lightly for Su Wanru. She muttered, "Look at me, I fell asleep and slept so soundly, so I don't have any sympathy at all, and you torment me like this. Excuse me."

"I can eat my son, why can't I torment my wife." Shen Zhan replied.

Su Wanru snorted, turned over and looked at him, "Are you up in August? Are you hungry?"

"I pulled him up to watch me punch." Shen Zhan said, "You brat, you have a bad mouth."

Su Wanru suppressed a smile, and comforted her: "Tong Yan Wuji, he can talk as soon as he can, so you just let him talk. If you turn around and frighten him hard, he won't dare to speak."

"Unreasonable." Shen Zhan said: "I will go to order troops today, and I will go to Runing tomorrow."

Su Wanru snorted, and then said in surprise: "Didn't you wait for two more days? Why is it earlier?"

"The situation has changed." Shen Zhan didn't want to say, because he was provoked by his son's words, why did he rest at home, did he look very idle.

Su Wanru doesn't know how to fight a war, so she doesn't interfere in this matter at all, she just listens to Shen Zhan, "Then I'll get up and prepare some clothes for you, where is Yan Chong now, do you want to take it with you?"

"Yan Chong is very suitable to be a scout. Take him this time." Shen Zhan helped her up and helped her get dressed, "What are you going to do these few days?"

Su Wanru replied: "I'll go to the yamen to see how the land is distributed. I can't spend so much effort to take advantage of those who don't know what to do."

She was afraid that some squires would use their connections to divide the land secretly. There were many such things. If she didn't keep an eye on it, even Mr. Lu might do something wrong.

"Okay." Shen Zhan nodded, Lu Cheng knocked on the door, he opened the door and Lu Cheng handed in a letter, "Master, a letter from Xuzhou Yang Changgong."

Shen Zhan took it and turned around to hand it to Su Wanru.

"Mr. Yang's." Su Wanru opened the letter, and there were two pieces of paper in the letter. The first piece of paper described the situation in the school, and the second piece of paper said: "...When I was studying in Yingtian, I made many classmates. Now more than a dozen of them have written to me, asking if they can come to the school with me. I know that there are not many students in Xuzhou School, but I can’t find a better reason to refuse, so I come to ask you, you can set up a school elsewhere, If you need a teacher, you can invite them to come, although they are only scholars, they can teach children to enlightenment, and reading the Spring and Autumn History Records should not mislead the children."

"He's humble." Su Wanru smiled lightly and handed the letter to Shen Zhan, "His classmate wants to join us, how can I answer him?"

The Later Song Dynasty had not yet established a dynasty, so some officials were vacant. These students said that they were teachers, which was the greatest support and affirmation for the Later Song Dynasty.

"Yes." Shen Zhan read it, "Nanyang also wants to set up a school. Didn't the Zhang family agree to pay for it?"

Su Wanru nodded, and said: "Then I'll give him an answer. As long as he thinks he's good-natured and knowledgeable, he can recommend him to us."

"En." Shen Zhan nodded, and was about to speak, when Lu Cheng knocked on the door, Shen Zhan opened the door and Lu Cheng timidly handed over the letter, "Master, there is another letter."

Shen Zhan glared at him, "I'll save it up and send it together next time." He didn't bother to close the door, opened the letter directly, glanced at it and handed it to Su Wanru, "My father's."

Su Wanru read it, folded the two letters on the table, went into the dressing room to wash her face, and came out with her hair down after a while, sat in front of the dressing table and applied balm, and said thoughtfully: "I think what father said Makes sense, what do you think?"

"Yes." Shen Zhan said: "When the second brother arrives in Shandong, we will be able to establish the capital of the country, establish a dynasty and proclaim ourselves emperor."

Whether it's fighting a war or conquering the world, she has passed through countless pictures in her mind, but when it comes to Dingdu proclaiming emperor, she becomes nervous, "Then... about the capital, wait for the second brother to come and ask him what he means." , or should I write to him now and ask?"

"Write to him now, he is already in Guizhou." Shen Zhan said: "Give him time to think about it, we also need time to prepare."

Su Wanru nodded, and when Shen Zhan went out, she spread out the paper and answered the three letters earnestly.

It has been half a month since the letter was delivered to Su Ji. Su Ji was in Pingyue, and it took little effort to fight here, because it was far away. Although the guards here were withdrawn, the soldiers were secretly dispersed. It's smooth sailing.

"Thank you for your affirmation." Su Ji stood by the table with a wine bowl in his hand, and looked at the literati and knights. There were eighteen people at the two tables, eleven scholars, and seven knights with high martial arts and general talents.

It wasn't someone who came here suddenly, but someone who came to join him one after another half a month ago.

"Second Master Su." One of the gentlemen surnamed Mo said: "You are a man of virtue. Whether it is the former Later Song Dynasty or the current Later Song Dynasty, we are willing to serve you. We are willing to follow Su Er Brother, keep moving forward and create a great cause."

"Okay!" Su Ji replied: "I, Su Shiyuan, respect you for this bowl, do it!"

Eighteen people served bowls together and finished drinking the wine in the bowls.

After drinking, several gentlemen who were studying at the table recited impromptu poems and splashed ink on the wall. Su Ji laughed and praised him full of praise.

After drinking until midnight, everyone dispersed, and the drunken Su Ji was supported by Duan Zhen back to the room, "Your Highness, may I make you some hangover soup?"

"No need." Su Ji stood up straight, and said with a smile, "I'm not drunk with this little wine, it's just for fun."

Duan Zhen was stunned, he must have had a jar of alcohol, he didn't expect Su Ji to drink so well, "I'd better drink some, lest you get a headache when you get up tomorrow."

"Thank you." Su Ji thanked Duan Zhen, and sat down at the desk. There was a letter on the desk. After he opened it and read it, he laughed and took a pen to write back to Su Wanru.

"We can wait another half a year for the opening of the dynasty and proclaiming ourselves emperor. We will discuss this matter after we meet up in Shandong. As for the capital, no other place is suitable, only Yanjing."

"After returning to Pingjiang Mansion, my idea of ​​building the capital in Yanjing became more determined. If it is not burned or destroyed, I will sit on the dragon chair that Zhao Zhiang was sitting on, so that he will die in peace."

"Wanwan don't have to worry about me. Second brother is no longer the brat ten years ago. No matter what he does, he will think twice before acting." He also said: "As for the capable people you said to go to. Those who come are just guests. For the time being To settle down and retain them is that we don’t have many of these people. Only in this way can the truly talented people in the world come to serve.”

Su Ji wrote a lot, although he was not drunk, but his head was a little drunk, he folded the letter, put it in the envelope and sealed it, rested on the chair for a moment, then got up suddenly and walked to the border map hanging behind him.

This place is very close to Chengdu Mansion, and it takes only ten days to go back and forth.

"Your Highness." Duan Zhen came in with hangover soup, "Why don't you go back to Chengdu?"

Duan Zhen didn't know what Su Ji was thinking, he just felt that Su Ji might have something to do and wanted to go back.

"Forget it." Su Ji smiled and said: "The big thing is not done, so don't hurt people!"

Duan Zhen was taken aback, "Who did it harm?"

Su Ji patted Duan Zhen on the shoulder, and drank the hangover soup in one gulp. Knowing that he would not speak, Duan Zhen took the bowl and said, "Then this subordinate will leave, Your Highness should rest early."

Su Ji nodded slightly, and when the door was closed, he sat down again, picked up the letters placed on the corner of the table, read them one by one, and replied one by one, when the work was done, it was already bright, he rubbed the letters Rubbing his brows and eyes, leaning against the table and taking a nap, there was a slight sound of walking outside the door.

"Your Highness." Duan Zhen hesitated for a long time before knocking on the door, "Lord Hu is here."

Su Ji hummed, and said, "I'll wash my face." As he said that, he got up, washed himself in cold water, went out without changing his clothes, and walked a few villages with Mr. Hu until noon. When he came back, he ate a steamed bun and recruited some staff who had been drinking last night.

"What Master Hu means is that I might follow the example of Nanyang and discuss with several clans in the city to disperse some fields and distribute them to the common people." Su Ji looked at the people sitting there, "Gentlemen, you can express your opinions, Su is all ears. "

"Nanyang has a different culture and is located in the Central Plains. It is much simpler than the people and folk customs here." A Mr. Zhang said that he is 55 this year. When Su Ji was in Guangdong, he closed the private school and followed him.

"Mr. Zhang's point of view is exactly the opposite." A Mr. Liu said: "The purpose of the princess's move in Nanyang is to let the clans everywhere watch it, so that they can know what they know. Then go elsewhere in the future. When it comes to such field problems, we can do it accordingly.”

As soon as the two talked, there were two factions at the scene, some people supported Mr. Zhang, and some people supported Mr. Liu.

Listening to this, Su Ji glanced across the crowd, smiling all the time, listening to everyone's debates, there was a person sitting in the corner, only 27 or [-] years old, wearing a navy blue gown, looking like a scholar, quietly sizing up He did not participate.

When the crowd dispersed in the afternoon, there was no result. The young man stayed behind. Su Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Qingwen have anything to say?"

Deng Qingwen cupped his hands and replied, "Second Brother Su, Deng feels that there are many mountains here, and the people should be encouraged to open up wasteland, and we only need to solve the problem of irrigation and water conservancy."

"Oh?" Su Ji also thought so, what surprised him was not that the other party coincided with him, "You have such an idea, why didn't you mention it just now?"

Deng Qingwen smiled shyly, and said: "The gentlemen here are all highly respected, and I shouldn't be too prominent as a junior."

"Qingwen is being modest." Su Ji smiled and said, "But you talked a lot. But water conservancy irrigation is more difficult than dividing the fields."

Deng Qingwen smiled and said, "Mr. Deng can recommend a person to you, Second Master Su. This person is in the Chengdu Mansion. I just heard that she had someone dig a ditch in the mountain. I don't know how to do it." Yes, let the spring water on the mountain flow into all the fields separately."

"Is there such a person?" Su Ji's eyes lit up, "If you know the specific address, I'll send someone to invite him right away."

Deng Qingwen replied: "I don't know the specific address of Deng, but I should be able to find out. Everyone should know that she has done such a great thing."

"You're right." Su Ji said, "Thank you Qingwen for reminding me."

Deng Qingwen didn't dare, so he saluted and went out.

Su Ji was a little excited, and called Duan Zhenlai, "Go to Chengdu Mansion yourself, and ask Mr. Miao to help find this person. If he is willing to come here, I will agree to any conditions."

"Yes." Duan Zhen replied, "Then do you have a letter or something for me to take back with you, Your Highness?"

Su Ji was startled, and replied: "No, you just need to do things seriously."

Duan Zhen didn't say any more, immediately packed up his clothes and set off for Chengdu Mansion. After walking through the city for six days, he went straight to Sitang Street. The second master Lin received the letter, happily accepted Duan Zhen, and asked with a smile: " But Shiyuan asked you to come back, why?"

Duan Zhen sat down and took a sip of tea, said what Su Ji had told him, and said: "...the terrain over there is very similar to this, so His Highness wants to invite this gentleman to go. But I don't know who Where is the gentleman, so let me come back and ask."

"Mr. Water Conservancy and Irrigation?" Master Lin Er asked.

Duan Zhenying said, "Second Master, you know."

"Haha." Elder Lin laughed loudly. At this moment, Mrs. Yang came from the backyard, he looked at Mrs. Yang, and said to Duan Zhen, "You told Mrs. Zhu about this, she knows about it."

Yang Shi was slightly startled, Duan Zhen got up and saluted, and said the matter in a proper manner.

"Mr. What?" Yang waved her hand and said, "It's Zhengyan's younger sister. She went to the mountains to play a few days ago, and saw that everyone was carrying water for farming. When she came back, she drew a messy drawing and sent it Go give it to Mr. Miao, that's good, as soon as the two of them fiddled with each other, there would be a commotion."

Duan Zhen was dumbfounded for a while, and then said excitedly: "...Then... can you please accompany me to Guizhou, our Highness is worrying about water conservancy."

"Call her out and ask." Yang laughed, and sent her mother-in-law to invite Zhu Yin. After a while, Zhu Yin came out covered in mud and frowned, looking displeased, "What's the matter?"

Duan Zhen knew that she was Zhu Zhengyan's younger sister, so she shouldn't be that old, but when he really saw Zhu Yin, he was still shocked.

The little girl can only be considered handsome, thin and tall, but she has very little temperament, like...like the ice in three or nine days, and she feels chilly before she gets close.

"Second brother Su asks you to go to Guizhou to help him." Yang explained the situation again, "...you are fine, just go and have a look, but make trouble for him."

Zhu Yin frowned, looked at Duan Zhen, "Maybe wait for me for a day, my formation is not ready yet." She was kneading the formation with mud.

"Of course." Duan Zhen said, "I'd love to go and prepare a good horse for you, miss. What else do you want to bring?"

Zhu Yin replied: "No need, as long as you have a horse." Then he turned and left.

"She is such a person. Don't mind Mr. Duan. She talks to me in this way." Yang shook her head helplessly. Know how to change clothes."

"This child is very dull." He walked away while muttering.

The corner of Duan Zhen's mouth trembled and he looked at Second Master Lin. Second Master Lin squeezed his eyes, waved to Duan Zhen, and whispered something in his ear.

"Ah!?" Duan was shocked, "How can this help?"

Master Lin Er knocked on his head and said: "Create more opportunities, don't you think Shiyuan and Yinyin are very suitable?"

Duan Zhen snorted, but felt that Su Ji might not like people like Zhu Yin.
