Huo Lingjue once helped the eleventh prince ascend the throne, and Shen Zhoujin himself was even the emperor, so they could all see it.
The prince's article is well written, the details are touching, and the emotions are deep and moving, but what he embodies is the kind of "concern for the country and the people" of a literati.
In other words, he could see it, he could actually feel it, he could empathize with them, and he could write about it... But he only got to this step and did not go any further. He did not think of how to solve it. There is no such awareness.
Even if you are a county official, you still need to find ways to solve problems in governing the people, let alone a country's crown prince.
As a prince, you have the highest status and the greatest resources. When you encounter a problem, you should immediately think of solving it now.
Therefore, the prince is a talented man. If he does not need to consider his status and really opens up his mind to write articles, he will surely reach a higher level, but... he is not suitable to be an emperor.
But this is not something they need to consider, they only need to protect Emperor Wu Xuan.
Emperor Wu Xuan's body can at least continue to work for another twenty or thirty years. It doesn't matter whether the prince becomes a useful person or not, it is even better if he fails to become a useful person.
Moreover, there was an unexpected person in the prince's queue.
When they left the courtyard where the prince lived, he came up to them and greeted them with a smile on his face.
After being introduced to each other, we realized that this person was Huo Lingjue's cheap cousin Huo Lingzhi.
He was already in the Long Xiang Guard, so he came with him to protect the prince this time.
Huo Lingzhi is the eldest son of the current Marquis Zhongsu. If things go according to plan, he should be the one to seize the title. Now the title will obviously fall to Huo Lingjue...
So Shen Zhoujin looked at him a few more times.
Unexpectedly, Huo Lingzhi's attitude was extremely low, and his attitude was extremely polite and respectful. He looked like he was indeed a smart man, and he must have figured things out.
Huo Lingjue didn't seem to hate him either.
Again, Huo Ling is definitely not a stingy person.
Nowadays, Marquis Zhongsu wants to pass on the title to his son. This is human nature and there is nothing to be angry about.
But if you fight me for this, of course I will fight back.
In the same way, Huo Lingzhi is not angry about this, which is human nature. As long as you don't come in front of me with anger, I won't deal with you.
However, Huo Lingzhi's attitude was so low, and he was so knowledgeable, Huo Ling was absolutely not ashamed of himself.
Because the labor atmosphere here is quite strong, they don't treat the prince with much respect, let alone fear and fear. They usually go about their own business and rarely have time to pay attention to the prince.
Therefore, he unintentionally matched the prince's temperament.
The prince felt very comfortable and quickly made friends with Lu Zhiji. He would often go out with them, wearing his "but begging" vest to hide his ignorance, and from time to time he would write an article and publish it.
At the same time, these days, Jianghu gangs are coming to various places to recommend themselves.
Although Shen Zhoujin wrote about the Qin Xin Sect, there was a barrier between civil and military officials, so people in the Jianghu world realized it and came one after another.
Although this place is remote, the coal mine is here after all. Mainly here, there are several gangs such as Changshan Sect, Shen Fist Sect, etc.
Although Qin Yunchiao is a prince, he has always been in the world, and Huo Lingjue, not to mention, there is no one in the world that he can't play with. The two of them now cooperate with each other tacitly, and anyone who comes can use it immediately.
Mainly, I have to transport coal, grain, cement, etc. to various places every day. Especially in the next few days, it will really get cold, and I really need the help of some people in the world.
In the midst of all the busy work, I finally got through Xiaohan.
At that time, what Huo Lingjue said was that "it will start a few days after Xiaohan passes", so it would still take two days, but for the convenience of publicity, he would directly refer to Xiaohan to the outside world.
So after Xiaohan passed, the weather didn't change much. Everyone was talking about it, and they also discussed that next time when workers are paid, they don't need stoves and coal. They can just ask for wages and buy some food for the New Year.
Huo Lingjue and the others didn't try to dissuade them, since it wasn't time to pay wages yet.
Shen Zhoujin finally finished making the talisman before the first snowfall, and there were still more than thirty thousand left. Even if it was not enough, he could still rest for two days.
The day after she came back, it snowed heavily.
It rained all day long and stopped in the morning. Even experts like Shen Zhoujin felt the cold. When he pushed the door, he couldn't open it. The snow outside the door was more than a foot thick, and then it froze again. , the blockage was tight.
Shen Zhoujin clicked his tongue, opened the window and jumped out. His feet stepped on the snow, which was thick and the temperature suddenly dropped by at least ten degrees.
She quietly took out the thermometer and took a look. The temperature was already minus sixteen degrees.
You should know that although the temperature difference between day and night is large in many places in Yongzhou, the weather is basically neither hot in summer nor cold in winter. Sixteen degrees below zero is already very low.
Shen Zhoujin picked a warm stone from the space, held it and went to the prince's place to have a look.
There is no good yard nearby, and the prince's yard is also in a bad condition, but because he was prepared for it, he made a simple ground dragon out of cement in advance. At this moment, a group of people were busy adding charcoal.
The prince had already gotten up. Shen Zhoujin went in and took a look. He felt that the temperature could be around fifteen or sixteen degrees, so he came out and said to them: "It's enough to get to this temperature. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is too big. My body can't stand it when I go out. It’s easy to catch cold and get sick.”
The people below responded repeatedly, and Shen Zhoujin turned back and gave the warm stone to the prince.
The stone she picked out was quite big, bigger than an ordinary teapot, and it was solid. The prince, a scholar, almost dropped it when he picked it up.
Shen Zhoujin quickly supported him and said, "Uncle, don't go out these days. It's very easy to catch a cold when it suddenly gets cold."
The prince struggled to hold the stone and said, "That won't work. It's just because it suddenly started to get cold that I had to go out to see how the people were doing."
Shen Zhoujin: "..."
Okay, although this kid is not very capable, he is still quite sincere.
She nodded, and then said: "Then what clothes do you want to wear when going out, I will take care of it for you."
The prince knew that she had some strange tricks, so he asked someone to take her there. Shen Zhoujin took a picture of a talisman inside, and put the talisman on his pants, shoes and hat. He also warned: "Be careful, the road should be It’s very slippery.”
Several people responded in unison.
Shen Zhoujin then came out and went to the workshop to have a look.
Huo Lingjue and the others had arrived long ago.
Fortunately, there is a shortage of everything here, except for coal, and they are the most convinced that "cold winter" is coming, so the work sheds where the workers live have a layer of concrete fire pits, and it is not too cold, and the snow falling around them melts. Now, it won't be a hindrance when you come out.
But if this happens, road construction will have to stop first.
Huo Lingjue was calling everyone together to talk.
Everyone's unpaid wages were paid a few days in advance. Those who took no more than two days of leave from beginning to end were paid an extra 20 kilograms of whole grains and a kilogram of ginger powder. Anyone who had never received a stove on their account could get it. To pay an IOU, first take a stove back.
Moreover, the holiday starts today. Anyone with a small family can go back. If you still want to work, you can come back after the new year.
If you don’t have a family, you can stay and continue making briquettes for the stove, etc. You can just celebrate the New Year here.
Because the things are very heavy, today we unloaded all the ox carts, donkey carts, horse carriages, etc., and drove them all over the country.
Shen Zhoujin watched from a distance and heard someone walking behind him.
