Zhangzhou's tax revenue is still at the bottom, because the tax on medicinal materials grown in wasteland is exempted for three years, and the tax will come up after another two years.

Although the tax collection is at the bottom, the people in Zhangzhou believe that the government has one or two acres of wasteland to grow medicinal materials, and after the settlement, they have some money in their hands, some more than one or two, and some less.

The people have money in their hands, and Zhangzhou is less lifeless this year.

The emperor was not happy when he saw it, because the success of a state means that it can be replicated. As long as the right way is found according to local conditions, the people will be able to live well.

Elder Liu kept his back straight, ignoring the jealous eyes.

Too many people regretted letting the Liu family take the lead. Looking at the data on the brochure, it was so beautiful, and anyone who reacted slowly would know that Zhangzhou would not be a poor state if it continued. What an achievement this is!

Zhou Shuren was also relieved that growing medicinal materials was Liu Feng's idea, he was so proud, he had a good vision in choosing his grandson-in-law.

After the morning court, Mr. Liu was surrounded by congratulators, and Zhou Shuren also had many congratulators.

Li Zhao's tone was a little sour, "Your vision is really good."

When Zhou's parents and granddaughter got married, who didn't say a few words, especially those who married widowed mothers, who still talk about it now?

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, and his tone was a little smug, "I can't help it, I just have good eyesight."

Wang Zhuo is not envious, his son-in-law is also good, as for the grandson-in-law, there is no granddaughter!

Zhou Shuren and Mrs. Liu looked at each other and smiled. This is a win-win situation for the two families. They don't ask for help when they get married, they just want not to hold back. It's rare to have such a powerful in-law like the Zhou family!

So there were more people staring at Yuwen. In a few days, Su Xuan came to the main courtyard with a bunch of posts, "Mother, can you take a look?"

Zhulan raised her head from the painting she just bought, "So many?"

Take a cursory look at a dozen posts.

Su Xuan, "This is today's post, and the top one is the tea tasting banquet at Duke Yong'an's Mansion."

Zhulan put down the painting and picked up the post from the Duke's Mansion, "Although the Duke's Mansion has always been low-key, it is still the Duke's Mansion, and the accumulated wealth is unknown. Zhuo Guyu has become famous this year and wants to marry the Duke's Mansion Quite a few."

Su Xuan nodded, "That's right, last time at Prince Qin's Mansion, the Qin family was too eager to dig a hole a few times, and the lady who attended the banquet knew it well. Even though it didn't spread, she knew what the Duke of Qin's mansion was thinking. I really didn't want to be invited. .”

Zhulan put down the post, "You can't hide from hiding, you can't hide from tomorrow if you hide today, the Duke's Mansion dare not go too far."

Su Xuan asked her mother-in-law's determined tone, "Why?"

Zhulan signaled the girls to go down,

Signaling Su Xuan to come over, she whispered: "Because the Supreme Emperor doesn't like the Duke Yong'an's mansion, and your father-in-law is valued by the royal family, the old Duke dare not offend your father."

Su Xuan's brain reacted quickly, and she became angry, "So you use my daughter as a ladder?"

Zhulan smiled and said, "After the Taishang Emperor's serious illness, his health has gotten better."

It meant that the Taishanghuang could still live, which surprised Zhulan. In the end, Shuren told her with certainty that the Taishanghuang seemed to have seen it, and his bones were indeed healed.

Su Xuan, "The old man is worried about his grandson."

"Wrong, he is anxious for the Duke's mansion."

All the way from the grassroots to the day, how deep is the mind. Back then, he gave up the Supreme Emperor to protect himself. It is strange that the Supreme Emperor did not remember. The neglect of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion for so many years is proof. Long gone.

Su Xuan stood up and turned around twice, "It's a good plan."

Her father-in-law has a lot of face in the royal family, and she has become numb to seeing it all these years. If her father-in-law helps, the Yong'an Duke's Mansion can get out of the predicament. When she thinks of the calculations involved, she feels angry.

Su Xuan pinched the post from the Duke's Mansion, "Yuwen and I are going to the banquet."

"Well, we don't need to hide. Instead, we seem to be afraid. Come here as you please. An He is the county head, and she doesn't need to wrong herself."

Maybe the bigger the trouble, the happier the emperor will be.

Su Xuan felt relieved, and noticed the painting again, "Mother, there is no one in this painting, did you buy it new?"

Zhulan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Changzhong bought it, and specially asked the boy to send it back."

Su Xuan carefully looked at Xuemei Picture, "The drawing is really good."

Zhulan laughed, "Well, five taels of silver."

Su Xuan was surprised, "So cheap?"

The painting in the mother-in-law's hand, this one is the cheapest, and the most expensive is the painting of the brother-in-law. More and more people collect the paintings of the brother-in-law. Unfortunately, the brother-in-law doesn't paint so frequently, and the price is getting higher and higher.

Zhulan, "Changzhong bought it from someone he knows. I think it's good. I want your brother-in-law to see it."

Su Xuan is not interested in these things, but her mother-in-law likes them very much, "Mom, then I'll go back first."

"Um."

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back to see the painting, "Is this also bought in the painting building?"

"Chang Zhong bought it from Gu Sheng."

Zhou Shuren heard Gu Sheng's name again, "Can he still draw?"

"I heard from Changzhong that Gu Sheng won the favor of everyone in his hometown, and taught him to paint. His Shu Xiu in his hometown was able to paint."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "There is indeed a chance."

Zhulan nodded, "I heard from Changzhong that Gu Sheng sold three paintings and saved some money recently, and recently rented a small courtyard by himself, and moved out of the courtyard."

Zhou Shuren was surprised, "My son pays so much attention to him?"

Zhulan, "This man is very knowledgeable, your son wants to socialize more."

Zhou Shuren didn't care about making friends with his youngest son. He and Wu Ming raised the child himself. It was too difficult to deceive Chang Zhong.

The next day, Chang Zhong took his brother-in-law to look for Gu Sheng in a carriage. The alley was too narrow for the Hou's carriage to pass, so they had to stop at the entrance of the alley.

Jiang Sheng has never been to this place, but he also knows it, "Every year, those who come to Beijing to catch the exam will rent the yard here."

Because it is close to the place of the imperial examination.

Changzhong gasped, "It's so cold today."

Jiang Sheng looked at the young man beside him, "Are you cold wearing so many clothes?"

"It's cold, brother-in-law, let's go quickly."

"good."

The two of them quickly followed the young man's directions to the gate of the small courtyard. The young man knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, Gu Sheng opened the door: "Master, sir."

Changzhong wanted to come to the door, so he sent a servant to notify yesterday, and entered the yard, the yard is not big, and he was quiet by himself, "Your place is good."

Gu Sheng bought tea yesterday, boiled water early, made tea himself and said, "Be quiet by yourself."

Jiang Sheng's eyes fell on the table, there were still paintings on it, he endured it, but still didn't get up, "I saw your painting yesterday."

Gu Sheng sat up straight. He knew this son-in-law of the Zhouhou Mansion. He had never seen this painting before, but he heard that many people liked it. He also likes to draw. "Please give me some pointers, sir."

Jiang Sheng smiled, "I can't talk about advice, we can discuss one or two."

At this time, someone knocked on the door again, Gu Sheng got up apologetically, and when he opened the door, he saw Mr. Ji, "Why are you here?"
