Chapter 1356 You Are Always a King
A few days later, Zhou Shuren and his entourage finally arrived in Zhangzhou, where the disaster was worst. Zhangzhou's location is not good. Even if the roads are built, Zhangzhou's development is very slow. In addition to the land quality problems here, the grain output here is not high.
This snow disaster had the greatest impact on Zhangzhou. The disasters in the other two prefectures passing by from the capital have been brought under control, and the people just need to clean up the snow according to the requirements of the local government officials.
Only in Zhangzhou, there is grain in the granary, but it is not as rich as the other two states. The people here are not rich, and the continuous heavy snow has collapsed many houses.
Entering Zhangzhou city, the crown prince frowned. A lot of sheds were built outside the gate of Zhangzhou city, and many victims of the disaster gathered outside the city.
Mr. Yan has been silent since he entered Zhangzhou, and only now did he speak, "There is a big gap in the development of the states."
Zhou Shuren answered, "This is normal. Jinzhou is the closest to the capital and has Pinggang. It is inevitable that Jinzhou will be prosperous, but Zhangzhou's transportation is not convenient, and there are no resources to attract people. The development here will be slow. many."
If it cannot develop and the local tax revenue is low, Zhangzhou will not be poor.
Master Yan was silent, he had never been a magistrate, he did not continue to speak, looked out through the glass window at the cold street outside, and sighed.
The crown prince was also very silent. He would help his father read the booklets. Now that he is too young, he only sees trivial things. He also learned about the states from the booklets. The most intuitive thing is the tax situation.
The prince doesn't know much about other aspects. What he sees more is the prosperity of the capital, the caravans in the capital are endless, and the people around the capital live and work in peace and contentment. He often goes out of the palace and likes to go to the market and other places. It is the smile of the people.
When he left Beijing, what he saw was that the disaster relief was quick and the people were resettled properly. He was proud that this was a country under the rule of the father.
But when he arrived in Zhangzhou, what he saw were collapsed houses, impassable roads, victims fleeing for refuge, and simple shelters outside the city. There was no resettlement house specially built for disaster relief in the capital.
Zhou Shuren looked at the sky, "It's getting late, let's go to the inn first."
They pretended to be caravans along the way, the guards pretended to be bodyguards, and there was a team behind them, and the carriages behind were loaded with grain, cotton and other materials transferred from Jinzhou.
This was not arranged by the prince, but the emperor's will when he knew the situation in Zhangzhou.
In fact, their line of business is quite abrupt, the city is closed in heavy snow and the caravan enters the city, which is particularly conspicuous, but it should be more low-key than the arrival of the prince.
Before the food was ready at the inn, merchants from Zhangzhou came to the door. The unfamiliar caravan came from the closed city again. The local merchants wanted to inquire about the news and take the goods from the caravan.
Zhou Shuren drank his tea without moving, and continued to wait for the food to be served.
The prince stood up, "Go and see alone."
Master Yan wanted to follow, but Zhou Shuren grabbed him, and Zhou Shuren said to the prince: "Young Master, let's go."
The prince's eyes lit up, "Well, you don't have to wait for the food to be served."
Master Yan waited for the prince to leave, frowning, "What do you mean, sir?"
Zhou Shuren put down his teacup, and looked at Mr. Yan sharply, "We have been together for a few days along the way, and we have never met Mr. Yan before, but I have discovered a lot in these few days."
Master Yan frowned even tighter. He didn't feel that he had missed anything, and his face became unhappy, "Then please tell me something."
Zhou Shuren took the hand stove that Jinyan sent over, and motioned everyone in the room to go down, "Master Yan, don't you think you have too much control?"
He noticed it on the first day, and he paid more attention in the next few days, and endured until Zhangzhou. It is estimated that the emperor also found out, so this time he let Lord Yan follow him, and he said that he was good at him. With the crown prince, there is an extra Lord Yan, obviously the emperor wants to use his mouth to beat Lord Yan.
Master Yan's brows deepened, "I don't think so."
He is strict with the prince, and he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.
Zhou Shuren pointed at himself and Lord Yan, "You and I are ministers, the crown prince is the prince and the future emperor,
You are just one of the prince's masters. It is better not to cross the line if you should take care of what you should or should not take care of. "
The emperor is obviously not happy that Mr. Yan is controlling the prince everywhere. The prince can respect his teacher, but he can't listen to others. Mr. Yan doesn't think so, but the emperor doesn't think so.
Zhou Shuren continued: "No matter how young the prince is, he is still a gentleman. The prince has his own ideas. I think it is good for the prince to be like this. Only by being curious can we explore, and only by exploring can we find a solution. Lord Yan only needs to watch in the future. If the prince makes mistakes, he will be properly guided. That's it."
Master Yan pursed his lips, and some cold sweat broke out on his back. Becoming the prince's master is not only an honor, but also represents benefits. The Yan family has gained a lot of benefits because of him. Because he is the prince's master, he is praised by his family and respected by the prince , the emperor signaled that he had indeed crossed the line a bit.
Lord Yan raised his eyes to look at Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren had already closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Jingcheng, Wang's family, Yushuang came to visit Yulu with pickled sour plums, "I heard from my mother that you want to eat fruit, and my mind is full of children when taking care of children. I don't even know if my mother doesn't come to see me. This is the sour plum pickled by my mother-in-law, do you like it?"
This was pickled by her mother-in-law when she was pregnant. She liked to eat sweets and didn't eat much at the time, but her mother-in-law liked the taste, so she made more pickles.
Yulu had morning sickness when she took care of the child, but she didn't think about it. At that time, her mind was full of mother's pickles, and her mother's pickles didn't work well, so she was also confused. In her impression, little aunts and sister-in-laws all eat mother's pickles.
Mother came to see her and talked about the fruit, and she remembered that there were pickled plums at home.
Yulu had already opened the jar, smelled the smell, couldn't help urging the girl to get the chopsticks, and ate several mouthfuls in a row, "I'm hungry after eating, don't you know, big sister, I can't eat these days, relying on fruits alone Got it."
Yushuang smiled, "Eat when you're hungry, you like my mother-in-law, and I'll ask the girl to bring it to you when I turn around."
Yulu, "Well, thank you, big sister."
"We are sisters, thank you."
Yulu smiled and asked, "Have you decided on my nephew's name?"
Yushuang, "It's still called Qiuqiu by nickname, and my father said by name that he will go to the temple in the next year to count, and what he said is that the count is accurate when the year begins."
Yulu couldn't help but smile, "Second Uncle is really precious Qiuqiu."
"Yes, this is the next-generation relative."
The younger brother is not very old, and the father also cares about the younger brother, but it is a pity that the younger brother is a bit precocious and not talkative, so the father's enthusiasm is put on the baby.
Seeing that there was no girl in the room, Yushuang asked in a low voice, "Are you okay at home?"
This is the first time Yulu has come to Wang Mansion since she got married.
Yulu, "I've picked up good ones and pretended I didn't hear them. Don't worry, big sister. I'm not offended."
Then she patted her stomach again, "I'm pregnant with baby bumps now, no one dares to really get mad at me."
Yushuang was relieved, and then sighed, "The Wang family is really short of heirs."
"That's right, our first wife, Wang Wei, is an only child, and the second room is also an only child, Wang Jing. The third room has two sons, but when it comes to grandchildren, there is still only one grandson."
There are few children, but there are many women in the backyards of each house.
Yushuang felt more at ease, and said to Yushuang, "Believe me, this child must be a son."
This is her blessing to her younger sister. There will be less pressure on her younger sister if she has a son first.
