Chapter 351： heavy burden

Eunuch Liu's close father-in-law didn't hide it when he left the palace. The place in the capital is very interesting. Everything that should be known soon will be known. The Hou Ye knew that the emperor had beaten him, and he also knew that the emperor really valued Zhou Shuren. The mess in Lizhou City should really be taken seriously by the emperor.

The other officials are guessing, where did Zhou Shuren get into the emperor's eyes, and why did he get thrown into Lizhou City when he really got into the emperor's eyes? Is he really capable?

The transmission of news in Beijing is no worse than in modern times.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't care at all, they were leaving anyway.

On the second day, Wu Ming set off ahead of schedule, and it just so happened that Chang Lian didn't need to find a team to go with him.

After Wu Ming left, the Yang family's carriage and horses arrived, and Zhulan's side was all packed. The Yang family had a night's rest and set off with the Zhou family the next day.

There were quite a few officers escorting them along the way, and the long team with escorts and silver taels was spectacular.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhulan counted 50,000 taels of silver. This money is the money that the imperial court used to buy seeds and alleviate the famine for farmers in Lizhou City. The money is really not much, but the court just had no money, 50,000 yuan. The two were bought by the emperor who sold the house.

Thinking of this, Zhulan twitched the corners of her mouth. It was the first time she saw the emperor sell his house in public, but he kept the house for the reward. It was really amazing. He sold two houses and got a lot of money, but there were too many places to spend the money. , can only move out 50,000 taels.

The day before he left, Zhou Shuren was summoned to the palace and came back to get more detailed information on Lizhou City. After reading it, Zhulan felt very heavy. Even if there were wild vegetables in the spring, many people in Lizhou City were still starved to death.

Zhou Shuren heard Zhulan sigh, and hugged Zhulan, "Don't think about it for a while."

Can Zhulan not think about it? With only 50,000 taels of silver, the emperor really looks down on Zhou Shuren. How many villages and towns are around the entire prefecture? Moreover, Lizhou City was originally a state, one of the six most populous states.

Even if some people are lost, the population is still quite large, and Zhulan's brain hurts when she thinks about it.

The speed of the convoy was very fast. There was no waterway to Lizhou City, and the only means of transportation were horse carriages. When they arrived at the nearest post station late, Zhulan got off the carriage to see her parents.

Yang Dayong and the Sun family only had a good night's rest in the capital, and they continued to travel, their faces were tired.

Zhulan helped her mother to the room, "Mother, I'll let you suffer."

Mrs Sun waved her hand, "What are you talking about, my mother was worried that going to Lizhou City would be dangerous, but now I borrowed your light to go with me, and my mother didn't suffer."

Zhulan looked at Sun's full head of white hair, and felt uncomfortable. She hadn't seen her for more than half a year, and her mother's appearance was more than five years old. "Mother, you and father rest first, and I'll get you hot water."

Sun didn't stop her, she knew that her daughter was uncomfortable and wanted to be filial to them, "Yeah."

Because there were too many people, it would take a while to eat. Zhulan waited for her parents to wash up first. When everything was packed and the food was ready, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren brought Xuehan to accompany them for dinner.

For dinner, I had ginseng chicken soup. The ginseng was taken out by Zhulan, specially for my parents to replenish their bodies.

After dinner, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to the room.

Zhou Shuren pressed Zhulan's shoulder, "I'll rub your shoulder."

Zhulan was really tired. Either she was taken care of by Zhou Shuren, or she had the Li family. Except for Zhou Shuren, she drank too much, and she had never served anyone else.

Zhulan brought hot water back and forth, and washed the clothes for her parents. Her shoulders really hurt, "I'm worthy of the original body."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, he was not partial to Zhulan, he felt that Zhulan was doing much better than the original body.

Zhulan's shoulders were more comfortable, and she motioned Zhou Shuren to sit down. Zhou Shuren was not idle in the carriage, either reading the documents or the map he got from the emperor.

Zhou Shuren is not polite. He has written a lot recently, and his shoulders are indeed sore, "Well."

After Zhulan and Zhou Shuren rested for a while, neither of them slept. Zhou Shuren could not wait to break the silver into eight pieces and count it, and Zhulan helped with the calculation.

It was late when I went to bed, and I had to wake up early the next day.

After breakfast continued on the road and set off. The situation in Lizhou City was waiting for no one. Five days later, when we arrived in Qizhou City, the convoy stopped, and Zhou Shuren took Boss Zhou out.

After the meal was ready, Zhou Shuren came back. After eating, he returned to the house. Zhou Shuren said, "I have turned around the grain shops in Zhoucheng. There are very few sweet potatoes and potatoes. Every grain shop uses cornmeal, etc. Lord, if we want to buy in bulk, we still have to go to the village to buy it."

Zhulan knew it would be like this, "We won't be able to collect much along the way."

Zhou Shuren also knew, "Anything is better than nothing. What's the use of going to Lizhou City to buy food with just money."

Zhulan compensated, "And the price is too expensive."

Zhou Shuren walked back and forth in the room, and after a few laps, "I have to entrust this matter to the eldest brother and the second brother. They and the officials have a few ways to collect it. If they can collect more, it's better."

Zhulan, "Yeah."

Zhou Shuren said, "I'll go get the money first. Fortunately, the emperor agreed to our request to control the money. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for us."
