On the second day, because the saint moved in, the middle street was built as a road to the palace. The idlers were not allowed to walk in the middle street because they had not received their duties. Zhou Jun could only go around the side corridor of the garden to the gate, and then went to the market.
.
There were no crowds in the market, and although it was a bit deserted, it was also very orderly.
Zhou Jun went from Jiazhou to Xizhou, thinking about his life-long events along the way.
After the new year, he will be twenty years old. In the words of Pang Gong, a weak man who refuses to marry is a late wife.
The fine of copper for violating Tang law is a minor matter, but attracting unnecessary attention is more troublesome than dealing with disturbances from home and outside.
But if Zhou Jun really wanted to choose one of the women he knew as his wife and marry him into his family, he always had some doubts.
After experiencing many things, Zhou Jun has made up his mind not to live alone anymore. There is a high probability that he will leave Chang'an in the future and go to remote places to seek development.
If he marries a wife, whether the other party can understand him, support him, or be accepted by the people around him are all factors that need to be considered for Zhou Jun.
With disturbing thoughts, Zhou Jun entered the Yanjue Temple in Xizhou, found a stone chair in the back mountain and sat down, looking at the distant mountains and rivers, and fell into deep thought.
After an unknown amount of time, a pair of slender hands covered his eyes.
Zhou Jun turned around and saw Yin Yu wearing a large velvet robe, with skin as white as snow and a thin waist, standing pretty in the courtyard.
Seeing Zhou Jun's face looking thoughtful, Yin Yu pretended to be angry and said: "What? You don't want to see me?"
Zhou Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Of course not. I have something to tell you. Let's chat while we walk."
Yin Yu was confused and followed Zhou Jun.
The two of them were walking on the mountain path in the backyard of the temple. Yin Yu first spoke to Zhou Jun and said, "I have already thought about what you asked last time."
Zhou Jun was stunned: "What's the matter?"
Yin Yu rolled her eyes at Zhou Jun: "Do you and I have a crush on each other, or do we have a common understanding?"
Zhou Jun: "Do you have the answer?"
Yin Yu looked at the lake in Bachuan and said leisurely: "From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you are different from others... That difference is not about appearance or family background, but some
Something deeper, some more hidden reasons, this feeling is difficult to describe in words."
Zhou Jun stopped and looked at Yin Yu.
Yin Yu continued: "There is a mist on your body. If you stand far away, you can't see it clearly. Only when you get closer slowly and push away the mist can you feel the warmth. And this warmth, no matter who I am in
I have never seen anyone on my body, not even my parents..."
Zhou Jun took a deep breath and said to Yin Yu: "When I see you today, there are some things I must tell you... I am a person who does not want to enjoy ease, nor can I indulge in luxurious food and clothing."
Yin Yu smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter, if I can be with you, I can give up my silk and satin clothes and put on cloth clothes."
Zhou Jun: "I can't stay in Chang'an for a long time. I'm afraid I have to travel far away and it will be difficult to return to my hometown."
Yin Yu: "I can give up that tall house and compound, commit myself to a bamboo hut and thatched hut, and travel with you, under the stars and the moon."
Zhou Jun: "I have something I want to do, but the process must be difficult and difficult."
Yin Yu: "Then I will share the joys and sorrows with you, even if I give up the name of this princess, I will never hesitate."...
Zhou Jun stared into Yin Yu's eyes and sighed softly: "What are you doing?"
Yin Yu: "I was born into an imperial family, but my thoughts are boundless. Although I cannot determine my origin, at least I can determine my future."
Zhou Jun sighed deeply.
Seeing that Zhou Jun had nothing to say, Yin Yu smiled, stretched out her arms, and hugged him tightly.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, gradually submerging the mountains, rivers and ancient temples, and merging the two people who depended on each other together. After half an hour.
Zhou Jun returned to Bieyuan. Before he could take two steps, he was stopped by a chamberlain.
Waiter: "But Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Jun: "Yes."
Chamberlain: "There is a banquet in the inner garden, and I have asked you to come to the table. I have been looking for you for a long time."
Zhou Jun: "Please lead the way."
Following the eunuch, Zhou Jun entered the main hall of the inner garden.
I saw that the huge hall was filled with royal relatives and dignitaries, there were religious musicians playing Buddhist music, and maids and chambermaids serving food and pouring wine. Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan were sitting in the upper seats, talking to Pang Zhonghe beside them.
Just listen to Li Longji say: "I heard someone in the palace mention this Bachuan stir-fry, and the praise was lavish. I didn't believe it earlier, but after eating it today, I am really ignorant."
Pang Gong looked into the hall, then raised his hand to Li Longji and said, "This stir-fry is the method that Zhou Lang came up with. Anyone who has tasted it will praise it."
When Li Longji heard this, he asked beside him: "Where is Mr. Zhou on Tuesday?"
The chamberlain quickly led Zhou Jun forward, and the latter sang "O" to Li Longji.
Li Longji looked at Zhou Jun and said: "It's not just cooking. I heard from your right minister that you have managed the Hexi Mutual Market in an orderly manner. This year's taxes and tributes are far higher than those of other state capitals?"
Zhou Jun first said that he did not dare to be greedy for credit, but relied on collective efforts. Then he went on to annihilate the horse bandits, confiscate the Kang family, and Liangzhou's food shortage. He selected some of the highlights and told them to Li Longji.
Li Longji listened carefully and kept nodding. When he heard that Zhou Jun used hundreds of elite soldiers to destroy the horse bandit camp, he couldn't help but say hello three times.
After listening, Li Longji asked Zhou Jun again: "The Right Prime Minister also said that you intend to reopen the Dunhuang Ancient Road?"
Zhou Jun agreed and told Li Longji the functions and benefits of the Dunhuang Ancient Road.
After hearing this, the latter became interested and asked Zhou Jun: "In your opinion, if the Dunhuang Ancient Road is rebuilt, how much tax revenue can it bring in a year?"
Zhou Jun raised two fingers.
Li Longji: "Two hundred thousand dollars? If it's for the first few years, it's not bad."
Zhou Jun: "Your Majesty, it's two million strings."
Li Longji paused, opened his eyes wide and asked Zhou Jun: "Is this true?"
Zhou Jun: "Jun and the city officials have repeatedly calculated that the Dunhuang Ancient Road can reduce the length of the Silk Road by half. As long as the caravans calculate the costs and expenses and balance the pros and cons, they would rather pay more taxes and choose Dunhuang.
The ancient path, two million passages is not a lie."
Li Longji asked again: "According to your opinion, the court will not need to pay a penny to rebuild the ancient road?"
Zhou Jun: "Yes, as long as you use convenience as a bait, you can attract merchants to rush for loans."
Li Longji was overjoyed and said to Zhou Jun: "Okay, you will take care of the Dunhuang Ancient Road!"
Zhou Jun bowed and said yes.
On the other side, Yang Yuhuan saw Yin Yu sneaking into the banquet, got up and walked over to stop her: "Where have you been? Why are you back now?"
Yin Yu's pretty face turned red and she just smiled and said: "Take a leisurely tour of the mountains and rivers."
Yang Yuhuan: "What's wrong with your face? Why is it so red? Could it be that you have a cold?"
Yin Yu waved her hands quickly and changed the topic: "Why don't you listen to the music, Mrs. Yuhuan? You usually listen carefully and never leave your seat."
Yang Yuhuan turned around and saw the Yang family, surrounding Li Longji, saying all kinds of flattering words. He felt annoyance for no reason in his heart and said to Yin Yu: "It's such a mess. How can there be such a situation like this?"
