You know, in this era, it is very difficult to convey messages.
Private use of the inn is not allowed. Although it has been repeatedly banned, if you want to use it privately, you must be rich and have enough money to bribe.
It is very difficult to send someone to deliver the message yourself, and you need someone with money and the ability to protect yourself.
Therefore, for people at this time, it is really no exaggeration. Every time we meet, it may be the last time.
Therefore, Emperor Wu Xuan was shocked as soon as the news was delivered to him.
Because it was a private letter, Qin Yunchiao wrote it in great detail, including their discussion on "transporting grain".
How could Emperor Wu Xuan not be shocked?
Although Shen Zhoujin vetoed transporting grain, it was because of other considerations. Therefore, even goods can be transported as long as it is necessary?
To be honest, as an emperor, he sits in the Jinluan Palace every day. Everything in the world can only be obtained on paper. If the channel is opened quickly, the benefits to him will definitely be huge.
Emperor Wu Xuan suddenly discovered that the magic of Shen Zhoujin was far more than what he knew!!
She can do more, more things that they can't even think of!!
Emperor Wu Xuan was poor, but he was not stingy. He was still very generous to heroes and useful people.
And he can also see clearly that Shen Zhoujin doesn't want to take care of things now and has no ambition to make progress at all, so he has to put the hat on her first... As long as she has a "status", she will not be nothing. Do.
Emperor Wu Xuan was right in judging people, and Shen Zhoujin was indeed such a person.
But the court officials don’t know!
There are many things that cannot be told to the courtiers. Even if they are told, everyone will only half-believe them without seeing them with their own eyes.
Emperor Wu Xuan was also bold. He directly proposed that Shen Zhoujin should be crowned king.
There was an uproar at Chaoshang.
Although Si and Guang, members of the Jiuxiao sect, are all famous people before the emperor and have accepted many disciples, most people believe in the identity of Shen Zhoujin, the founder of Jiuxiao.
But King Feng? Still a woman? Still a child??
The courtiers immediately took on the posture of bumping into pillars, and all opposed it.
The person who opposed the most fiercely was named He Qingran.
He Qingran is a third-generation official.
Because his grandfather was the previous prime minister, and he was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, and his temperament is very similar, so he is known as the Little Prime Minister in private.
Although it was a joke, Jia Qingran was indeed a capable person. He was known as a child prodigy when he was young. Later, he left the capital with his grandfather for a few years without any news. Everyone thought it was a story that hurt Zhongyong. As a result, He came back with a champion.
Later, he was transferred to the county magistrate at the "young age" of fifteen years old. In three years, he forcibly managed the lower county into the upper county. After being transferred back to the capital, he gradually became the censor of Qiandu and a fourth-rank official. He really climbed up on his own merit. He is only twenty-two years old now and is an absolute young talent.
He has great literary talent, upright temperament, is extremely pragmatic, and dares to give direct advice. He has always held the view that "should be carefully investigated" for the magical figure Shen Zhoujin, especially after Shen Zhoujin donated a large sum of money to the national treasury. , he even felt that he should carefully examine the source of the money.
Qin Yunchiao said: "He Qingran is a very upright person. He has actually been to school several times because of you, but he really is not here for you. He is really out of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."
Shen Zhoujin only nodded.
Anyway, just listening to it, she didn't hate this person.
The level requirements for states, prefectures, and counties in the Dasheng Dynasty were quite different from those in the previous dynasty.
For example, counties are only divided into upper, middle and lower counties, but in addition to the total population, there are also detailed requirements for new population, taxation, land reclamation and so on.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Just talk about the population. A county with less than 500 households is considered a lower county, while a county with more than 2,000 households is considered an upper county. This is a huge difference.
Therefore, if you can manage the lower county into the upper county, you must be a capable person.
As for doubting her, that's normal. From the first moment she started doing things, she knew that someone would be suspicious, but she couldn't just dare not do anything just because she was afraid of suspicion!
Seeing that she didn't care, Qin Yunchao continued with a smile: "Then my father said to let him see it with his own eyes, and then sent him over."
Shen Zhoujin complained casually: "Every day, everyone comes to my place. Why is this a tourist attraction?"
Qin Yunchao laughed, then leaned over and whispered: "Father is not the kind of emperor who talks back and forth with his ministers. He will not first propose a king, then let the ministers discuss it for a long time, and finally take a step back. Take a step back... My father would never be like this. When he proposed to make you a king, he really wanted to make you a king. And since he said to make you a king, it must be because my father thinks you are worthy. My father is I really value you."
Shen Zhoujin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then nodded: "Yeah."
People have lived for too long and have experienced everything. It’s not that she has never been crowned a king, but she has planned everything by herself. She has never met an emperor like Emperor Wu Xuan. Her calculations are true, but her actions are also really generous. To be honest Yes, she almost wanted to be his crush. She didn't know why, but she just found such an emperor very lovable.
Qin Yunchiao added: "But the news came privately. What should I do with this mailbox? My father has not replied to me yet."
Shen Zhoujin nodded.
Then Qin Yunchiao acted as if he had finished speaking, stood up, took two steps, and said nonchalantly: "There is one more little thing, do you want to hear it?"
Shen Zhoujin: "...Then just say it!"
Qin Yunchiao said: "Huo Lingjue's house tried to get the head of the case."
"Wow!!" Shen Zhoujin was very happy: "That's not bad!"
Qin Yunchao snorted and left.
Shen Zhoujin stood up and went to find Huo Lingjue.
Halfway through, he met Lu Zhiji, who said hello: "Jin'er!"
Shen Zhoujin said: "Yes, how do you know that Xiao Juefu is the culprit?"
Lu Zhiji said subconsciously: "I don't know!"
Shen Zhoujin nodded, "You're right, alas! I really can't help it, I'm so busy before the exam, and just taking the exam is the top of my case. You also find it incredible, don't you?"
Lu Zhiji silently closed his mouth and looked at her with his arms folded.
Shen Zhoujin strolled out, met Cu Liancheng, and played him again.
In the end, I searched all over but couldn't find Huo Lingjue.
Seeing that it was almost dinner time, she took a shortcut back. On the way, she accidentally glanced down and then slowly stopped.
There was probably land reclamation down below. A dry and thin old man was holding a hoe and clearing out half-buried stones piece by piece. The old lady next to him looked to be at least seventy or eighty years old. She was hunched over her back. The stone moved aside.
On the other side, Huo Lingjue was plowing the land with his hands on the plow, probably because there were no oxen. In front of him was a young man, with his back hunched over, pulling the plow forward.
Because they looked too much like a family, and Huo Lingjue looked too much like a farmer, Shen Zhoujin looked at them several times before confirming that it was him.
