Chapter 351 The Burden on the Body Is Heavy
Duke Liu's close father-in-law, he didn't hide it when he came out of the palace. The place in the capital is very interesting. You should know about this soon. Lord Hou knew that the emperor beat him, and he also knew that the emperor really valued Zhou Shuren. The emperor should really pay attention to the mess in Lizhou City.
The other officials guessed, where did Zhou Shuren fall into the eyes of the emperor, and why did he get thrown into Lizhou City after falling into the eyes of the emperor?
The transmission of news in the capital is no worse than in modern times.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't care at all, they were leaving anyway.
On the second day, Wu Ming set off early, and it happened that Chang Lian didn't need to find a convoy to go with him.
After Wu Ming left, the carriages and horses of the Yang family arrived, and Zhulan's side was also packed. The Yang family rested for one night, and set off with the Zhou family the next day.
There are quite a few officials escorting along the way, plus the escort team, the long team is very spectacular.
Zhulan was sitting in the carriage, thinking about 50,000 taels of silver. This silver was used by the imperial court to buy seeds for farmers in Lizhou City and alleviate the famine. The silver was really not much, but after the war, the imperial court really had no money. 50,000 The two were obtained from the sale of the house by the emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhulan twitched the corners of her mouth, it was the first time she saw the emperor selling the houses, and she still kept the houses for rewards, it was amazing, she sold two houses and got a lot of money, but there were too many places to use the money , only 50,000 taels can be moved out.
The day before he left, Zhou Shuren was summoned to the palace, and when he came back, he got more detailed information about Lizhou City. Zhulan felt very heavy after reading it. Even though there were wild vegetables in spring, many people in Lizhou City still starved to death.
Zhou Shuren heard Zhulan sigh and hugged Zhulan, "Don't think about it after a while."
Can Zhulan not think about it? It's only fifty thousand taels of silver. Huang Zhen thinks highly of Zhou Shuren. How many villages and towns are there around the entire state city? Moreover, Lizhou City was originally a state, one of the six most populous states.
Even if some population is lost, the population is still quite large, Zhulan's brain hurts just thinking about it, forget it, she won't think about it now, she needs to sleep for a while.
The convoy was moving fast, there was no waterway to Lizhou City, only a carriage, and when it was late at the nearest post station, Zhulan got off the carriage to see her parents.
Yang Dayong and Mrs. Sun only had a good night's rest in the capital, and they were on their way continuously, both of them looked tired.
Zhulan helped her mother to go to the room, "Mother, let you suffer along with me."
Sun waved his hand,
"What are you talking about? Mother was worried that it would be dangerous to go to Lizhou City. Now I borrowed your light to go with you. Mother didn't suffer."
Zhulan looked at Mrs. Sun's white hair and felt very uncomfortable. She hadn't seen her for more than half a year, and her mother looked older than five years. "Mother, you and father rest first, and I'll get you some hot water."
Mrs. Sun didn't stop her, she knew that her daughter was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to be filial to them, "Yeah."
Because there were too many people, I had to wait for a while to eat. Zhulan waited for her parents to wash up first. After everything was cleaned up and the food was ready, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren brought Xuehan to eat dinner together.
For dinner, I had chicken soup with ginseng. The ginseng was brought out by Zhulan, and it was specially used to nourish the body of parents.
After eating, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went back to the room.
Zhou Shuren pressed Zhulan's shoulder, "I'll rub your shoulder for you."
Zhulan was indeed tired. She was either taken care of by Zhou Shuren or Li Shi. Except for Zhou Shuren who drank too much, she really didn't serve anyone else.
Zhulan carried hot water back and forth, and washed her parents' clothes, her shoulders really hurt, "I'm sorry for Yuanshen."
Zhou Shuren thought, he is not partial to Zhulan, he thinks that Zhulan is much better than the original body.
Zhulan's shoulders became much more comfortable, and she signaled Zhou Shuren to sit down. Zhou Shuren was not idle in the carriage either, he was also very tired from reading the information or the map he got from the emperor, "I'll squeeze it for you."
Zhou Shuren was not too polite. He has written a lot recently, and his shoulders are really sore. "Mmm."
After Zhulan and Zhou Shuren rested for a while, neither of them slept. Zhou Shuren wished to break the silver into eight petals, and Zhulan helped with the calculation.
It was already late when I went to bed, and I had to get up early the next day.
After breakfast, he continued on his way. The situation in Lizhou City waited for no one. He arrived in Qizhou City five days later. As soon as the convoy stopped, Zhou Shuren took Boss Zhou out.
Zhou Shuren didn't come back until the food was ready, and returned to the house after eating, Zhou Shuren said: "I went around the grain shops in Zhoucheng, there are very few sweet potatoes and potatoes, and every grain shop sells cornmeal and so on. Lord, we want to buy in bulk, or go to the village to buy."
Zhulan knew this would happen, "We can't collect much along the way."
Zhou Shuren also knew, "Having something is better than nothing. What's the use of just taking money to Lizhou City if you can't buy food."
Zhulan compensated, "And the price is too expensive."
Zhou Shuren walked back and forth in the room, and after turning around a few times, "I have to entrust this matter to the eldest brother and the second brother. They and the official will collect it in a few ways, and they can charge more."
Zhulan, "Yes."
Zhou Shuren said: "I'll pay the money first. Fortunately, the emperor agreed to my request to control the money. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for us."
