Chapter 1446: Temporary residence in Chongqing Prefecture, visit by Nongliqiang
Chapter 1446: Temporarily staying in Chongqing Mansion, Nong Liqiang comes to visit
"High Priest, the mountains are high and the road is far, so take care along the way!"
At the border of Dali, Murong Wu bid farewell to Shen Tang!
Shen Tanggong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, uncle! If anything happens at home, please send a message at any time!"
On the side, Murong Yu also saluted Murong Wu and said goodbye. Then, under the watchful eyes of Murong Wu and others, Shen Tang and his party slowly drove northward and entered the territory of the Song Dynasty.
After entering the Song Dynasty, we passed through Southern Xinjiang and then headed north along Tongchuanfu Road!
"Brother-in-law, do we want to return directly to Lianli City?"
Because of Murong Yu's mother and daughter, the speed was naturally not very fast, and they only traveled dozens of miles every day! It took nearly half a month for the group to reach the boundary of Chongqing Prefecture.
Shen Tang smiled and shook his head, "There's no rush to get to Lianli City. We'll stay in Chongqing Mansion today and take a boat to Tanzhou tomorrow."
"Tanzhou?"
"Well! Tanzhou is south of Changde Mansion, on the side of Dongting Lake. It is about two thousand miles away. Even by boat, it will probably take nearly a month!"
Shen Tang responded.
"I've asked people to prepare more snacks, dried fruits and other foods, so you won't be bored on the ship!"
Murong Yu smiled and shook his head, "Following my brother-in-law, how can it be boring!"
While the two were chatting, a maid came over and said, "I have met the master and madam. Shopkeeper Lu asked to see me and said that someone came to visit the master!"
When Shen Tang and others travel, they occasionally have to stay in inns because of the inconvenience in the wild. However, now in the city, there is no need to do so! Nowadays, the caravans of the two Shaosheng families have business houses in these large cities. It is naturally easy to prepare a courtyard for Shen Tang and others.
"oh?"
Shen Tang was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't seem to have any acquaintances in Chongqing Mansion.
"Girl Yu, you go and rest first, I'll go to the front hall to take a look!"
"Brother-in-law, he's just leaving. Yu'er is waiting for you to come back!"
After saying that, Shen Tang walked out of the room, walked through the corridor and headed towards the living room in front!
"Greetings to my aunt, someone came up ahead and said he was an old friend of my aunt! Seeing how popular this person is, I am afraid that one of his parents is here, so I didn't dare to delay, so I came to bother my aunt!"
As a shop owner, he naturally has a keen eye. Although he only had a few words with the person just now, he could feel that this person must be a person in a high position! Otherwise, he would not be in front of someone because of someone. Come and disturb Shen Tang.
"Now, this person is in the front hall, how about I lead my uncle over?"
Shen Tang nodded, "Thank you, shopkeeper!"
The two walked in tandem and walked to the front hall. Shen Tang opened the door and entered, only to see a middle-aged man stand up and salute, "I have strong agricultural power. I have met Mr. Shen!"
Shen Tang was startled at first, and then he smiled and said, "Now that Shen Tang has no official or position, he cannot afford the courtesy of a farmer!"
How could Shen Tang not recognize this powerful farmer?
This person was the pacifier of Tongchuan Prefecture Road. When Shen Tang was ordered to inspect the Fifth Northwest Road, he had met this person several times. Moreover, during Shen Tang’s previous secret investigation, this person had a close relationship with the two families in Chengdu Prefecture. , but there should be some origins.
If other people come to visit, Shen Tang will still have some differences. As this man has strong agricultural power, as a pacifier along the way, he will naturally have spies in the Chongqing Mansion! He has eight hundred Wei army followers, how can he hide it from someone who is interested? ?
However, the timing for this powerful farmer to come to the door at this time is somewhat mysterious!
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen conquered the south and conquered the north, and defeated the Jin Kingdom. Even if he died in vain, how could he not be able to serve as an official?
I only regret that I am not blessed enough to have the opportunity to fight alongside you! Otherwise, although I would not dare to compare myself to you, I still have courage and passion!"
Shen Tang also laughed and stepped forward to sit side by side with Nong Liqiang!
"The official heard the report that a group of brave soldiers had arrived in Chongqing! Moreover, they were temporarily staying at the Shao Family House. At that time, he wondered if it might be the Lord coming, so he came to visit with some hope. .
I didn’t expect that the Lord is really here. If I miss it, I will regret it too late!”
Nong Liqiang didn't hide anything, and directly told the reason why he came.
"Master Nong is interested!"
Shen Tang smiled lightly.
Afterwards, the two chatted about what Shen Tang had seen along the way, and also talked about the battle between Song and Jin Dynasties! It was getting late, Shen Tang had people serve food and wine, and the two of them drank happily again, and it was not until midnight that they finally said their goodbyes. One paragraph!
After the banquet was over, Nong Liqiang said, "I heard that the official family originally intended to let Master Shen return to Chengdu Mansion! You know, until now, Chengdu Mansion is still a temporary post! But I don't know why Master Shen shouldn't do it?"
Shen Tang shook his head, "The reason why I became an official was just for the appreciation of the officials! However, I was not obsessed with officialdom at all! Moreover, after returning from the Northland, I was exhausted from the successive wars, so I temporarily submitted to the officials. I resigned from my official position and went into hiding to have some leisure time!"
"Lord Shen's words, the lower officials dare not agree with him! A great man's talent and learning are rare in the world. If he cannot serve the imperial court and bring peace to the people, isn't it a great loss to our great Song Dynasty?
Furthermore, with your talents, knowledge, and achievements, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not allow you to remain idle forever!"
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Hey! That's right! Therefore, when I return to the Song Dynasty this time, I must go to Lin'an to meet with the officials. How will the officials arrange it? As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, how can I recommend it? but! "
Shen Tang's answer made Nong Liqiang narrow his eyes, and then he laughed loudly and said, "Although this is a bit tiring for adults, it is a blessing for all the people!"
Afterwards, the conversation between the two returned to chatting again!
When it was almost time, Nong Liqiang finally stood up, "Unknowingly, I am bothering you so late.
However, it is a great honor for me to be able to talk freely with you! However, since your Excellency has to be on the road tomorrow, I will not bother you anymore.
Tomorrow, I will come to see you off!"
Shen Tang waved his hand, "It's an elegant thing to be able to chat with Mr. Nong! As for tomorrow... Shen Tang has no official or position now. If Mr. Nong sends him off, it will arouse words! The friendship between gentlemen is not on the surface, you How can I be so polite to each other?"
"That's fine! Then I'll send you a happy journey in advance!"
"I'll take my leave!"
"Sorry for not sending it far!"
Nong Liqiang turned around and walked towards the door. When he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped, then turned towards Shen Tang and said, "Sir, when I have been in office recently, I often read about the Han and Jin Dynasties at night. Although it is chaotic, there are many talented people.
One of them was named Beihai Kong Wenju! Kong Wenju had a rare academic name and was pure in nature! However, later he killed his wife, children, and parents due to unknown things. What do you think of these people who are good first and then evil?"
Shen Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment he smiled and said, "Be good first and then do evil and don't disturb it! If you do evil first and then do good, it will be unforgivable! There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world. We are not qualified to decide our own origin. But you are qualified to decide your own path! What do you think, Master Nong?"
