Su Rong returned to the inn, and the journey was smooth, and she didn't meet anyone who wanted to kill her again.
The inn where she stayed was very quiet. She tiptoed to her room. Passing by Zhou Gu's door, the door suddenly opened. Zhou Gu, dressed in Chinese clothes, looked at her with his arms folded, "Where have you gone?"
Su Rong was startled and raised her eyes to look at him, thinking that it was easy to go out but hard to come back. If she were to let her slip out quietly and then sneak back back quietly without Zhou Gu knowing anything about it, then Zhou Gu would be really
If you are not alert, you will waste your time practicing martial arts since childhood.
She touched her nose, stopped obediently, and handed the wine she was carrying to him, "I'm going to buy wine."
"Drunk flower drink?" Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Can you drink such a strong wine?"
Su Rong blinked.
Zhou Gu approached her and asked, "You smell like alcohol all over your body. How much did you drink?"
Su Rong told the truth, "One altar."
In fact, it was a jar and a half. The first half of the jar was given to the father-in-law when he met the assassin.
"Okay, you can drink a jar of wine by yourself and still come back without changing your expression. I'm looking down on you." Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "Then you brought these two jars of wine back and continued drinking?"
Su Rong shook her head, "I bought it for you."
"You have a conscience." Zhou Gu took the two jars of wine and lectured her at the same time, "As a girl, don't run around in the dark and midnight. Just because you have some skills, don't you know that the sky is high and the sky is high? Or should I say that?
The public security in Jiangning County is so good that we can keep our doors open at night and not pick up lost items?"
"It hasn't reached that point yet." Su Rong listened to Zhou Gu teaching her seriously, feeling very relieved and shaking her head, "I won't do it next time. I just slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so I went out for a walk."
Zhou Gu said "hmm" and remembered something, "I've always wanted to ask, why are there no beggars in Jiangning County? Not even a ragged person?"
"Oh, this is managed well by my father. Every penniless person who enters Jiangning territory can go to the government's rescue center to help for ten days. After ten days, he will receive a salary. With this salary,
You can do some small business and settle down. There are also various policies provided by the government as follow-up help. Once implemented, there will be no beggars anymore."
"Where does the government get the money? This rescue center needs a lot of money, right?" Zhou Gu wondered, "Besides, there are various policies that also need money to support their operation, right?"
Su Rong thought that Zhou Gu was indeed not empty. She nodded, "The government taxes, donations from local wealthy households, and the beggars who are helped to settle down will also pay a part of the settlement fee every year as immigrants settle in Jiangning."
, Anyway, just wait. If you are interested, you can talk to my dad when you get back. I will definitely be happy to talk to you in detail."
Zhou Gu understood the general idea, "It turns out that this is the reason why Jiangning, although wealthy, can only provide for itself and does not pay more taxes to the court every year."
He wondered, "I heard that your Majesty sent people to investigate Uncle Su, but later he was not found to be corrupt and did not have a tael of silver. I laughed out loud. I must have known about Jiangning's policies to benefit the people, but why, he didn't
How about the implementation of the entire beam? Not talking about all parts of the world, just talking about the road from the capital to Jiangning, I saw a lot of beggars, and many people seemed not to know that Jiangning was in such a good situation."
"Jianning County cannot be copied." Su Rongxiao said, "Because there was a man in Jiangning who was the number one scholar in the third year of Zhengde. He had great talents but did not like the court. He traveled all over the world for many years. Later he came to Jiangning and got along well with my father.
So he settled in Jiangning. He formulated a series of policies to benefit the people, which my father highly praised, and the two of them worked together to implement them. The policies were also very unsatisfactory at the beginning. Now, after more than ten years, this is the Jiangning you see.
County. That person’s name is Xie Yuan.”
Zhou Gu suddenly said, "I know Xie Yuan. It turns out that he has been staying in Jiangning County. When I was studying with him in the East Palace, Qin Taifu highly praised Xie Yuan and said that he was a great talent. It would be a pity not to join the imperial court and not be granted the title of marquis or prime minister.
.”
"It's not a pity to benefit the people of one place, right?" Su Rong asked.
"It doesn't count." Zhou Gu shook his head affirmatively, "Where is he now? Can you take me to see him tomorrow?"
"He was invited by Yunshan Academy to teach last month. He should be back by the time I grow up." Su Rong shook his head, "If you stay until the day when I grow up, you will definitely be able to see him."
"On the day you were born, he came back all the way?" Consultant Zhou: "He's very nice to you!"
"Yes, Uncle Xie has never married and treats me as his daughter." Su Rong yawned.
Seeing her sleepy look, Zhou Gu stopped talking and waved to her, "It's so late, go back and rest!"
Su Rong said "Yeah" and returned to the room.
Zhou Gu watched Su Rong return to the room and closed the door with the wine. After putting the wine down, he turned on the lamp and looked at the two jars of wine on the table. He thought to himself that he lived next door to Su Rong, but he
He didn't hear when Su Rong went out. He didn't hear her making any noise when she came back. If the window in his room hadn't been open, he would have smelled a strong smell of alcohol floating into the room. If he listened carefully, there was a slight sound.
He wouldn't go out to check if there were footsteps, and he happened to catch her secretly coming back.
Although the guards of the Protectorate's Mansion were not top-notch experts, they were all good at fighting one against ten. No one noticed when she went out, and no one reported her. It was a pile of rubbish.
He also thought that if she, the fiancée, married into the Duke Protector's house, it would be very easy for her to climb over the wall. Her skills were good, but she didn't know where she learned them.
Also, this drunken flower drink costs a hundred taels of silver per jar. In addition to drinking it herself, she also brought back two jars for him. She is quite rich?
Zhou Gu no longer felt sleepy, so he simply opened a jar of wine, sat in front of the window and drank it. After finishing the first jar of wine, he felt that this drunken flower drink was indeed good wine, so he opened another jar and drank it all at once.
.
After two jars of wine, Zhou Gu was a little drunk, so he went back to bed and fell asleep again.
After Su Rong took a bath, she smelled the aroma of wine coming from next door. She wanted to laugh a little. After laughing silently twice, she slowly stopped laughing. She stretched out her hand to fiddle with the wick. Under the flickering light, she took out a dagger.
She planned to take a closer look, but under the light of the fire, a special mark was faintly revealed. She paused and squinted her eyes to take a closer look.
It turns out there is a mark, but does it have to be seen by candlelight to reveal it?
echo?
What means?
She frowned and thought for a moment, unable to think of a reason, so she simply put away the dagger, turned off the light, and went back to bed to sleep.
There will definitely be more updates, don’t rush, don’t rush, see you tomorrow~
