Chapter 363： Showing off has a price

Lizhou, Zhulan wrote the reply, she was not in a hurry to find a quick horse to send it back, she prepared some food to send back together.

In the past month, the family has been shopping a lot. Lizhou City is close to the border. Although the war has just fought, there are quite a few foreign merchants in the entire border, but there are still some. It’s just that Lizhou City is too poor and no foreign merchants are willing to come.

Zhulan bought a lot of dried fruits and jujubes in Chuanzhou. She bought a lot. The fur this month was not good, but she didn't sell it.

Zhulan asked Liu Ya to call Steward Ding and handed the letter to Steward Ding, "You can pack up some dried fruits and jujubes and send them to the **** store." Butler Ding borrowed the letter, "Mother has something else. Do you want to explain things?"

Zhulan took the written list, her heart ached, and a large sum of money said, "Yes, you bring the two servants Dongzhi and Xiaohan to Chuanzhou to buy tea sets, dishes and some flowers, and come back here. List, you buy it according to what is written on it."

Butler Ding took a look at it, and bought a lot of things, "I will take the Winter Solstice and Xiaohan to set off after I send the letter." "Well."

Butler Ding came out of the yard with the letter in his hand. Although he had done more work than before, he didn't feel tired at all. Who would have thought that he had jumped from the housekeeper of the Juren family to the housekeeper of the Zhizhou family. Desperate, I thought that I would be sold to the merchant's family, and I could only be a grandson in the future. I didn't expect that there will be another village.

Fang Zi, who scolded him before, now sees his grandfather Ding's yelling, and he will make amends.

It's a pity that it's useless to please him. Thinking of the scene where the owner of Yaxing came to the door in person, ah, let them think about it. However, the master really cares about the mistress, and he quickly realized that this mistress's words are better than the master's. All good!

In the capital, Zhou Shuren's booklet also came into the hands of the emperor. The emperor not only had Zhou Shuren's booklet in his hand, but also the spies gave a more detailed report. The emperor was lying on the kang outside, reading Zhou Shuren's book first.

Zhou Shuren's book is without a single word of nonsense. At the beginning, he explained how much money he spent on the road, how much grain and seeds he bought, and what he did after arriving in Lizhou, from distributing the first batch of grain to building roads and digging ponds, and then writing about farming, The division of chickens and pigs is very clear, and the pen and ink mostly wrote about the division of apple trees, and said the plan to build a town of apples.

After reading the excerpt, the emperor picked up the excerpt reported by the spy, filtered the flattery in the first few sentences and looked at the key points. The excerpt of the report was more detailed, not only what Zhou Shuren did, but also the account book, and Zhou Shuren's itinerary. See you where you went. Everything is very detailed.

The thick book is Zhou Shuren's information.

The emperor compared the two points and threw it to the prince, "Look, our Lord Zhou has not only stabilized the city of Lizhou, but also wants to make Lizhou a wealthy state!"

He is really looking forward to it. Well, he can look forward to the future tax revenue of Lizhou City. He is happy that his vision is good. Look, so many people, he is optimistic about Zhou Shuren.

After the prince browsed, he saw the key point, "Father, the fruit tree that Mrs. Zhou planted first?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't underestimate women, our Lady Zhou's wife is a good hand at grasping money. The three houses in Pinggang were bought by Lady Zhou for 1,800 taels, and now they have more than quadrupled, son. , Father Emperor tells you, don't underestimate any woman, I'm afraid of your mother's cruel hand."

The emperor thought that the house was his, and he was very beautiful. This was the first time that he could reward the house in exchange for money!

Prince, "......"

Is this the same person that the mother he knew was talking about? His mother is a virtuous, virtuous, gentle and loving person!

The emperor's son looks like you don't understand. When your mother is furious, I will sneak away from the wall, "Okay, you can change the book of Lord Zhou, you know how to change it!"

The crown prince nodded. He knew that the royal father was disgusted by the nonsense book. The emperor will add a lot of nonsense to the local business. According to the meaning of the emperor, if the ministers do not listen, they will hurt each other. Anyway, the emperor is sitting, and the ministers are standing and listening!

The prince thought to himself, he also stood and listened, remembering the minister's note, and thinking about Lord Zhou's book, it was really pleasing to see, not to mention that the father liked Lord Zhou, he also liked it very much.

In Lizhou City, Zhou Shuren came home bright for the first time, and dinner was not ready yet.

Zhu Lan waited for Zhou Shuren to change into his regular clothes, and explained the contents of the letter. Zhou Shuren snorted and said he understood, and then disappeared.

Zhulan knew it would be like this, seeing Zhou Shuren frowning encountered a difficult situation? "

Zhou Shuren took Zhulan and sat down, "It's not too difficult, just listening to you mentioned Mingyun and Rongchuan, I think of the academy, Lizhou City's Juren, there are still scholars, but now the people are struggling to eat, where is there? It will take a few years for some people to slow down when they study with money and money, and the students will be delayed."

If there are only a few people who will be tested for talents or jurors next year, the entire Lizhou will become famous again.

Zhulan, "So you want to set up an academy?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "No, there is an official school in the state city, but there are only a few people in the official school in Lizhou City. I'm thinking about the yamen's pen, ink and money, and recruiting some characters to write well, and the Tongsheng and reading students who haven't been admitted to the scholar will copy it. Book."

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren not only for the students, right? "The books you want to copy are rare on the market!"

Zhou Shuren smiled, and it was Zhulan who knew him best, "Yes, let me tell you, our acquaintance, Master Chen, is very knowledgeable and has a lot of books in his family. You see, the rarer the book, the more expensive it is. After the copy is completed, you can get it to be sold in bookstores in various cities and towns. The money you get in exchange is to remove the pen, ink, paper and labor costs. The rest of the money is used for the students to study, such as subsidizing the pen, ink and paper, yes, and also When you take the test, you can pay for food, accommodation, transportation, etc. with one stone!"

Zhulan thought to herself, Zhou Shuren didn't know how long she had been thinking about it, "It's really hard for you to be able to remember Chen's family's collection of books despite your busy schedule." Zhou Shuren, "Who told him to show off what he had read, if you say you show off, you show it off. , I also like to ask me if I have seen it, it seems that he can feel better when he presses me in reading. I kept smiling for many days, and finally got the opportunity to cheat him, what do you think of my idea?"

Zhulan, "...good or bad, how do you convince Lord Chen to bring out the book?"
