When Shen Zhezi heard Princess Xingnan sigh so much, she knew that this little girl must have heard some gossip.

As his family spread out the bigger the stall in Duzhong, the deeper the entanglements of the interests of each family. Therefore, the female family members of the noble family in Duzhong also welcomed the Xingnan Princess and often had some contacts. When it comes to the guests, they responded to each other. This girl was even better than Shen Zhezi.

The topics that women gathered together to discuss were nothing more than food, clothing, daily life, and trivial matters in the office. After much contact, the girl knew everything about the situation in the city and what had happened recently.

"Today, Princess Zhangwu came to Yunyang again and stung me for most of the day. This is the third time she has come to my house this month. What she said is nothing more than the same thing. Her family is becoming more and more embarrassed to make a living and will not be able to maintain it. The children in the family are almost quarreling with several villas in the suburbs of Beijing. Earlier, the Marquis of Yuxiang invaded Tianzhanzhuang in Yanling, and were reported by the Taiwanese ministers, and they were almost arrested for the custody of the court."

After hearing a lot of things, the little girl was not used to talking about right and wrong in the foreword. Whenever she had time to be alone, she would tell Shen Zhezi: "King Zhangwu is also a relative of my family and a title of king. Shen Zhezi, all the rice and grain are really high enough to survive even if the princes and princes are not able to survive?"

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi sneered: "His family, both men, women, young and old, have titles and salaries, and there are many industries outside the title rank. This princess is lying to deceive you. If even his family can't survive, then what will happen to the Xiaomin Family? I'm afraid that they will be hungry inside and outside."

Princess Xing smiled and nodded, "I think this is the case, too. This woman came to my house and sobbed for a long time, but looked around, sent a few pieces of plain silk, and prepared several big trucks to carry the gifts. Inviting me to get the pity, I just hope that my family will take care of more. Ha, if I change it, I won't care too much, but this woman's words are annoying, and I often talk about my family's disadvantages in front of others. When someone turns around, someone else tells me that she doesn't know, so I won't give her family too much benefits!"

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile when he heard this. As he gained experience in dealing with people, the little girl no longer wanted to be recognized as she was at the beginning, and gradually became a different kind of closeness in her heart and no longer treated everyone equally. Especially for those poor relatives in the royal family who were accustomed to fighting for autumn wind, she no longer asked for it.

It is impossible for these royal families to be too poor to lose their money, but their lives will definitely not be as comfortable as before. Especially in the past few years, Yu Liang has taken over the power of the great power and increased the crackdown on the sect kings. All the sect kings who were originally in charge were transferred to empty positions. The most important thing was to ruling the rank of a country to be 9% tax one. This move is like cutting the main income of these sect king families in half.

This is simply unbearable for those sect kings who are used to being extravagant and enjoyment, but now their influence is incomparable to the Chinese and Korean courts. Even if they are dissatisfied, they have no choice but to seek other ways to make money to maintain huge expenses. For example, the King of Xiyang has almost invested his entire fortune in the hidden master, while the King of Nandun has recruited poor families to make money for his disciples.

As for King Zhangwu and King Pengcheng, the sect kings with a weaker presence, are indeed worse than ordinary overseas Chinese families. They do not have so much money and have to maintain a decent and luxurious life, so they can only fight for the autumn wind everywhere. A family like the Shen family who is rich and related to each other is naturally their first choice.

Shen Zhezi really had no sympathy for these poor relatives. Not to mention that their embarrassment is a crime committed by their ancestors, they alone are destined to be poor.

In the past two years, Shen Zhezi also had a mentality of using waste to encourage these sect kings and asked them to help do things they did without any aspect, but they did it in a mess without exception. They were extremely clumsy and could not bear it. They didn’t know how to do it with their power and bullying others. They were too ugly to see their appearance.

Over time, Shen Zhezi completely gave up these sect kings, drew a clear line with them, and stopped interacting with them. Even if he wanted to plan something big in the future and needed political support from the royal family, it would not be possible for this group of sect kings to take responsibility now. For example, the Donghai King and the Langya King are gradually growing up, and they can still maintain a friendly relationship.

"If you think that Princess Wu is too annoying, you will lose contact in the future."

Shen Zhezi held the little girl's white and tender smile and said, "In the past, his family didn't have to worry about the attitudes of these sect kings, and now they can completely ignore them, and there is no need to be accustomed to reception anymore."

The little girl arched into Shen Zhezi's arms again, her expression became more lazy, her starry eyes were blurred, and her delicate figure was already a bit concave and convex, and the fragrance made Shen Zhezi's mood slightly throbbing. She couldn't help but sit upright, which was extremely certain.

"I just like to see this woman say something different in my heart in front of me. She talks a lot about my family's southern portal in front of others, but she wants to give me a small compliment in front of me, and her appearance makes people gimmick."

After living together for a long time, the little girl learned Shen Zhezi's occasional evil spirits. She raised her face and held Shen Zhezi's chin in both hands: "I know that my husband is handsome and unparalleled, and he is a talented person in the world, but he always has to hear it from others to be more happy."

Seeing the little girl's expression, Shen Zhezi felt a sense of admiration and looked up at the sky. He hugged the princess's body in his arms with both hands and asked with a smile: "My wife has a lot of good words today. Could it be that she has applied honey on her mouth?"

When the princess heard this, she giggled, "I have wiped it a lot. Should the husband try it?" As she said that, her pink little mouth pouted slightly.

Seeing this girl's attitude, Shen Zhezi became more and more unbearable. He pressed the girl's shoulders with both hands and leaned over and kissed her.

Under the scorching sun, many boats and boats were congested on the waterway that was not open in the Bangdu, waiting for the water gate to open and release the water to continue navigation.

Only in this ancient society with simple conditions can we feel the limitations of transportation conditions on the vitality of the entire society. Shen Zhezi stood on the ox cart on the shore, watching the boats full of goods parked on the waterway and wasted time. He felt deeply in his heart.

From the east of Quayunyang, there are continuous hills and hills, with great undulations. It takes a lot of effort to dig canals on such terrain and maintain them. Therefore, although the entire Pogangdu waterway is not long, it is ladder-shaped and cannot be consistent.

When the boat sails down the stairs, the gates are opened to drain the water, and the water level of the river rises slowly, but it still cannot reach the same level line completely, and can only barely level the bottom of the upper section of the river. If the boat sails directly, it will quickly fall into the slurry at the bottom of the river, and it needs to be dragged by the civilians on both sides of the river. This will not only greatly damage manpower, but also greatly wear and tear on the boat.

Although Shen Zhezi did not coordinate his efforts to completely repair Pogangdu, as his family grew in Qu'a and Jurong, a series of changes were made to the harsh water transportation conditions.

Nowadays, the two sections of the Pogangdu River have prepared ships, and no longer tow the boats directly. After the ship has been unloaded and reloaded onto the opposite ship. In this way, although the loading and unloading process has been added, it has saved the consignment and reduced the wear of the ship.

In order to facilitate loading and unloading, the transported goods are shipped using small containers made of wood. There are elevated pulley nooses on the shore to pull these two-meter-sized wooden containers up. If they are goods that are afraid of water and tide, they will be transported on the shore and dragged onto the high slope with a ox-trolley truck and then shipped. If the goods are not afraid of water, then tie an inflatable sheepskin pocket directly on the bottom of the container to increase buoyancy and drag it directly on the water surface.

After this series of changes, the shipping efficiency of Bogangdu has been improved several times, and the daily traffic volume has increased significantly.

On the other hand, it is hard work. While digging the waterway in Yunyang, Shen Zhezi also led the craftsmen to dig the water of Taihu Lake, and went west to build sailing towers to supplement the original waterway. In this way, the navigation period of about two months of Biaogangdu can be extended every year.

This is also a disadvantage for the reform and upgrading of local industries in the near future. They no longer focus on paddy fields and have switched to planting a large number of cash crops. In this way, the phenomenon of private digging of ditches with the water of the canal as irrigation was gradually eliminated, allowing the canal water volume to be consumed a lot.

Of course, Shen Zhezi did these things without any reward. Pogangdu was an official waterway. Its navigation period was short before, so civilian ships were generally not allowed to be navigated. The Shen family's own money and grains were used to repair the waterway, making water transportation here more convenient. While Taichung was profitable, Shen Zhezi also clamored for many connections and requested priority navigation rights for his own family.

Basically, after the annual tax transportation of money, grain and taxes are completed, the remaining transportation volume is basically reserved by the Shen family. Even if it is Taiwan-funded tax transportation, it is basically done by the Shen family fleet. The scale of tax transportation is growing larger and larger, and it is no longer limited to Wuxing and Kuaiji. It is like Linhai further away, Yongjia and even Jin'an, with the unremitting efforts of their father Shen Chong, they are also handed over to the Shen family for transportation.

Such a transportation method is more convenient for local governments and can also save consumption on the way. As for the transportation losses saved, part of it is the profit of the Shen family, and the other part flows into the pockets of officials at all levels of the county and county. With this one, the annual gross profit is up billions of dollars!

Of course, the actual net profit cannot be so high. After all, the Shen family also has to bear huge costs. Moreover, the taxes nowadays are not limited to money and grain, and the miscellaneous properties in various places are also among the transportation, so it is not easy to cash out. When the imperial court collects these taxes, a large part of them are piled up in the treasury and difficult to use.

But the Shen family is not the case. With such a huge sales channel as Shangmeng and Yinjue, even if they offer shit, they can be sold in Jingkou as fertilizer.

Taichung is actually very unhappy about the Shen family controlling the entire Southeast tax. If the Shen family suddenly becomes hindered, all the officials in the city will have to do volunteer work in the first half of the year. Therefore, starting last year, there are twenty or thirty bans on Taiwanese capital taxes to urinate large and small urination, and the wording is becoming increasingly severe.

But the same sentence is that the world is prosperous and prosperous for profit, the central government opposes it, but the local government still remains the same. Even if there are honest officials who are not in the world who come to work in the local area, they cannot organize taxes on human transportation. Even if they are barely transported, they will only take many lags in the waterway along the way. If this tax is to be transported to Jiankang, it will take several years.
