0124 Mountain trek blocked

In late spring, the sky and the earth warm up, and the fields are already green.

In the first day of the Chinese New Year, a group of tribesmen moved out of the old house. The torn atmosphere that was originally brewing in the old house disappeared. Shen Zhezi no longer had to deliberately stay in Longxi Manor. Or he would go back to his old house for a few days, and his words and actions were much more casual.

Because the land acres of his own has been reduced by half, this year's spring plowing will be much calmer. The repair of waterway cargo warehouses in various places has gradually come to an end, and these arrangements will be tested after the water situation gradually rises. Shen Zhezi is mobilizing a group of households to go to Kuaiji in the past few days, preparing to invest in the land reclamation matters there.

Without many constraints and disputes, the Shen family is now in charge of the affairs of no one. After many matters are planned, they will perform their duties and follow the steps and no longer take care of everything personally. Instead, Shen Zhezi is much more idle.

On March, the sacred ceremony was held on the banks of Taihu Lake in Wuji, Shen Zhezi held a cup of wine on the mat and sang, calling for servants to take new bamboo shoots in the Great Wall, Wukang jade plates, Yuhang salt rice, Lin'an Haizhen. The court orders were in the middle of the day. For a time, everyone in the county looked at each other, praising the convenience of Wuxing's water conservancy, which was the best for the three Wus, like a ghost and god.

A grand event was turned into a bidding meeting by Shen Zhezi. In addition to the several families that had been confirmed to cooperate in the past, the rest of the family had more than a dozen families of all sizes, revealing their intention to cooperate with the Shen family.

As soon as these people realized the amazing profits hidden in the water transportation, they suddenly realized that wherever there were boats in the county, there were Shen’s wharf cargo warehouses. Therefore, they finally realized the true intention of the Shen family’s extensive planning since the New Year!

The current situation is in one's own way. After the family is integrated, the personnel framework has become increasingly stable and mature, and everything is not necessary to be negotiated personally. He divided a group of tribesmen and deacons in the army, and took boats to discuss with the families in the county that they were interested in joining each other, and then he returned to Longxi again.

In this era, no matter how profitable the water transportation is, it will never be better than the root of agriculture and sericulture. Shen Zhezi would rather give up part of the profits and share them with each company in exchange for human resources than put the cart before the cart and waste his own land. He remembered the grain troubles of the previous year and would never want to put his own food and clothing into the hands of others.

Shortly after the local spring plowing in Wukang began, some of the Yinhu scattered in various places were drawn back, and Shen Zhezi's second uncle Shen Ke went south to Kuaiji to reclaim the land.

Shen Zhezi originally planned to accompany him to Kuaiji, but when he remembered the refugees rescued from Yan's reed pond, he wanted to invite Ge Hong to see if he could be diagnosed. Although this little immortal master was obsessed with the sayings of gods, he was not ignorant of the sufferings of the world. He was the only famous national doctor who was familiar with the most trustworthy people at present.

Those refugees suffered unintentional disasters. Although Shen Zhezi did not have a heart-wrenching bodhisattva heart, he would also feel a little relieved to help them relieve one or two injuries within his own ability. If he turned a blind eye to the disaster in front of him, he would talk about the revival of the North and the relief of the people.

Ge Hong has been very interested in tofu skills since he came to Wukang with Ji You last year, and has been there until now. He lived in Wukang Mountain because he could not withstand the frequent visits and harassment of the believers of the Shen family's Tianshi Taoist Taoist, so he lived in Wukang Mountain.

When he left home early in the morning, Wei heard that Shen Zhezi was going to visit the little immortal master. He was busy running around and prepared three carts of gifts for Shen Zhezi to take with him. Since Ge Hong was unable to bear the trouble of taking Shen Jin as a disciple of the name of the Shen family, Wei was fascinated by the little immortal master. He even built a grand Taoist temple on Wukang Mountain for the little immortal master to practice and live in.

Seeing that his mother was planning to take her toddler to go into the mountain to pay homage to his famous master, Shen Zhezi rushed to flee, and had no reason to talk to these fanatical religious people, so he could only stay away from him.

In the past two years, there have been many mysterious events in Wukang Mountain. In late spring, grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, mixed peanut trees, and orioles fly around. Many families of officials come here to go out for a walk and have fun, and travel with prostitutes.

On the bank of the slopes and streams, you can see many gauze curtains standing on the grass. There are servants from various families who are igniting mugwort outside the gauze tent to drive away insects and flies. Inside the gauze tent, there are orioles singing and dancing, and silk and bamboo singing, which is quite elegant and charming.

When the ox cart was walking on the flat dirt road, he heard the elegant music from the spring breeze, but Shen Zhezi couldn't understand that kind of interest. His mind was distracted. He first thought about the details of cooperating with various companies in the water transportation, and then he remembered his father's visit to Beijing to report on his job this time.

He was extremely pragmatic, and even if he had a good manner of being a good person, he would have inhumane intentions. Those who were frivolous all day long like him could not understand the fun of those spring outings. Not only that, even the pretty and charming little maid around him became philistine due to his influence.

The little maid Guaer often follows Shen Zhezi, and her words and behaviors are no longer as restricted as they were at the beginning. Although she still looks like she is submissive, the elegant art of the jade zither in her hand has more or less a sense of confidence after being replaced with an abacus. Although the ox cart is moving, it presses the abacus on the small table and gently moves it, occasionally glances at Shen Zhezi, waiting for the orders that the husband will give at any time.

Seeing the little maid looking a little sneaky, Shen Zhezi smiled slightly, raised his toes and kicked Guaer's smooth ankle: "Guaer, what are you stealing?"

"My maid didn't make a secret..."

Guaer hurriedly covered her sleeves around the abacus, but her hand disrupted the abacus beads because of her excessive mistakes. After some hard work, her little face suddenly drooped. She turned around and knelt at Shen Zhezi's feet, and whispered: "What are your orders?"

"I've seen it all, what else are you hiding?"

Shen Zhezi smiled and pointed to a corner of paper exposed under the little maid's sleeve. The little maid lowered her eyes and exclaimed, hurriedly covering the sleeve with her other hand. Her pretty face was flushed and seemed extremely embarrassed. Seeing that Shen Zhezi's face gradually became tense, she reluctantly handed over a book of accounts.

Shen Zhezi took the account book and looked at it. He found that it was his mother Wei's industrial account. He glanced at the melon that was hanging down the corner of his clothes and didn't dare to look at him. He couldn't help but feel a little funny: "My little maid is getting better and better. Is this what the mistress told you to do?"

The melon was silent and it took a while before nodding gently.

"Please put it away, make sure there are too many deficiencies. Go to Longxi Village to report the accounts without telling the mistress."

My mother's dowry and property have always been entrusted to the care of his two uncles of the Wei family in Shangyu, and it is difficult for Shen Zhezi to interfere. The Wei family's family is becoming increasingly weak, and the industry harvest of the married daughter may not be impossible. The Shen family's own expenses are sufficient. His mother Wei family did not pay attention to these things in the past and in the past, he now entrusts Gua to check the accounts. It is probably because the slander is too much before and after the New Year, and the cost is too much, and the small treasury is about to be sold out.

Shen Zhezi didn't have to take such a small matter to heart, but Shen Zhezi was quite proud of the little maid's ability to get better and even the ability to make it to the inner house. She smiled and patted Gua'er's hot and blushing cheeks as encouragement.

After entering the mountain, the road gradually became rugged. Shen Zhezi got off the ox cart and signaled the servants to carry the gifts and climb the steps first. Just about to reach the Taoist temple, several people who looked like big farmers suddenly jumped out of the pavilion in the mountain pavilion, blocking Shen Zhezi's way. One of them said respectfully: "Is this little man going up the mountain to visit Master Ge Xian? Unfortunately, my noble man is in the temple. Can the little man..."

"Which evil slave dares to block my husband's path? This Taoist temple, Wukang Mountain, my husband is free to enter and leave. Who needs to report to the answer!"

Before Shen Zhezi could speak, the loyal servant Liu Chang had already rushed up and pointed at the other party and scolded him angrily. Shen Zhezi stood on the mountain road and did not speak, and was also a little unhappy. The mountain road he built and the Taoist temple he built was stopped by someone and was not allowed to enter. The so-called noble people in this family were inevitably too arrogant.

The Zhuang Nu was scolded and was not embarrassed or angry. He was either strict in his family or confident. He smiled reservedly and said, "I'm sorry for preventing my husband from being happy. My family is from Wujun. The journey is long, and the master likes purity and does not like noise from outsiders. He prepares a little bit of politeness to apologize."

As he said that, a servant took out a small wine jar from the pavilion, which was the real liquor sold by the Shen family. Although it was mixed with water, the price was not low. This kind of filling is worth thousands of yuan per pound.

Shen Zhezi smiled when he saw this apology. His winemaking family controlled the output, and invested less than a thousand pounds in the market every year. It did not flow into ordinary markets, but only digested it among the various families in Wuzhong. This was a measure that had no choice but to prevent the previous sensation of real juice from Wuzhong. The other party dared to block the road and took out real juice to apologize. It seemed that the family background was not weak.

"Can a mere drink block the road? Let's talk about how much your head is worth! I will give you a price tag and I will accompany you twice!"

Liu Changchang followed Shen Zhezi. When he was in and out, he usually had to greet the poor family with a smile. It was a grievance that he did not bully others by relying on his power. When encountering such a thing, he would naturally help the owner to show his might to the fullest: "Your owner is elegant and does not like the noise from outsiders, so stay in his home yard and not go out. We, Wuxing, have our own rules. Even if we take care of the 6 people here, we cannot let everyone avoid it!"

When Zhuang Ding heard this, he immediately sneered and then said in a deep voice: "Which is unknown is the Zun Mansion?"

Hearing the other party's tone turn cold, Shen Zhezi raised his foot and kicked Liu Chang: "When do you want me to stand here?"

When Liu Chang heard this, he immediately understood what Shen Zhezi meant. He immediately waved his hand and the Shen family servant rushed up from behind, rushed forward without saying a word, capturing all the pedestrians outside the pavilion. The pedestrians first spoke and shouted: "Stop, we are Wujun Gu..."

"It's all Wu Jungu!"

Liu Chang flew up and kicked the man over, saying majestic: "My jade husband also has a temperament, and he doesn't like to block his path the most!"
