"You said she...she is..." Liu Sisi sat by the window on the second floor, staring at Jiang Ning dumbfounded, unable to believe what Jiang Ning said.

Jiang Ning nodded: "That's right, yes, Princess Changping... Lu Yutong..."

Liu Sisi's tense spirit suddenly relaxed at this moment, like a deflated rubber ball. She held her head in her hands and kept shaking her head, muttering: "It's over, it's over..."

"I thought she was just a child of a wealthy family or an official, how could she be Princess Changping?" Liu Sisi looked at Jiang Ning and complained: "I also asked her to make stinky tofu, wash dishes, and do business. Even, even this shop...

She ordered it, it’s over, it’s over…”

"No wonder she came to see me when she left. No wonder she was escorted by the Yulin Guards. I think so, except for relatives of the emperor, who can use the Yulin Guards..."

"She came here again?" Jiang Ning said with a smile: "It seems that you two have a good friendship. Before leaving, she asked Qi Yunmeng to take good care of you. I don't think she will hold a grudge."

"Hey, even if I hold a grudge, there is nothing I can do. Now, I can only resign myself to fate..." Liu Sisi turned her head silently and looked at the Yudai River outside the window. She never thought that she had lived with Princess Changping for more than a month.

, but a relative like her would probably forget about this place soon.

It was already the eighth day of March, the third day after Lu Yutong left. Jiang Ning came to Liu Sisi's shop. Nearly a month had passed since he was kidnapped last time. Liu Sisi was very anxious at first, and even...

She had the urge to go to Wang's house to inquire about news, but every time she approached Wang's house, she stopped when she saw the two small buildings. What identity should she show up as? A friend? What should I ask? Is Jiang Ning at home? Where has she gone? Everything.

It's not suitable. You can only turn it back.

Later, when Lu Yutong came back, the man told her that Jiang Ning was only injured and nothing serious. Then she let go of her worries and concentrated on running the business. Now the golden sign of stinky tofu has been put out, and the store's business is booming.

, plus

The few stir-fries taught by Jiang Ning have basically become must-orders. The store has already hired ten staff, not counting the shopkeeper and chef. It is considered a small scale in Hangzhou City, but at noon and evening,

Even if you say less, you have to turn over three or four tables.

In the past two days, I was planning to keep going like this. The betrothal gifts that I would get out in a month should be enough. I thought that Ping'er had found a good family. If the store was bigger, I would hand over Zheng Tu and Ping'er to help.

, at the end of the year, I wanted to pay dividends like those big merchants, and earn more than I do now. I was looking for a suitable opportunity to talk to Ping'er, but I met Jiang Ning this morning.

When I saw Jiang Ning and saw that he was safe, I felt happy, but when Jiang Ning mentioned Lu Yutong's identity, I was really shocked.

Jiang Ning is now alone. In addition to unremittingly practicing the first level of Liuhe Bahuang, he is registered in the academy. He walks around every day and sits in the library, which can be regarded as self-cultivation. But the one named Wang Shi

Guys, it’s a bit surprising that you study tirelessly every day, but think about it, if you want to get ahead, you have to study.

The sun turned to the southeast, and the restaurant was already filled with sunlight.

"Really?"

After Jiang Ning finished his last bite of stinky tofu, a man at the next table opened his mouth in surprise. When he realized that his gaffe had attracted everyone's attention, he quickly closed his mouth and whispered: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true. In these troubled times, have you forgotten that a dozen days ago, the magistrate of the county, which had no businessmen, died in the barren mountain?"

Jiang Ning glanced aside. Sitting at this table were several shopkeepers from the Yang family, three of whom Jiang Ning heard Wang Ruoyan say that the Yang family's business in Hangzhou was the largest, almost three or four times that of the Wang family.

It can be said that the Wang family is basically not taken seriously.

In Jiang Ning's view, Hangzhou's business has not reached its peak like that of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is not far behind. At least the prosperity seen on the surface has never been achieved by the Chinese feudal dynasty, whether it is architecture, clothing,

Food, clothing and the prosperity of the common people are the best reflection of a country's economic prosperity.

"Hey, I heard that due to the severe drought in the north, many victims have come from Ningzhou Prefecture. From Ningzhou Prefecture to Zhenan Prefecture, they have to pass through the Qinling Mountains. Bandits are rampant in the Qinling Mountains, and some victims are stopped halfway.

Kill them, those bandits are also short of food."

"The government just sits back and does nothing?"

"Hey, what do you care? There are fewer victims. Aren't they more relaxed? Besides, they are all busy with disaster relief. Who will provoke those bandits?"

"That's true. I don't know how the court's disaster relief is going. The victims are going south. If they arrive in Hangzhou one day, they still have to make plans early..."

"Having said that, it is not too pessimistic. According to the news from Ningzhou Mansion, General Ning's Mansion has begun disaster relief. General Ning is personally in charge. I believe the disaster can be controlled in Ningzhou Mansion."

"I hope so, but the people from the household department should be arriving soon..."

"Shh..."

Several people looked around and stopped the topic.

Jiang Ning looked at the street. There were indeed more beggars than before he disappeared, but they had not reached the point of panic. The top priority was to prepare his rifle. One was obviously not enough. He also needed one for self-defense.

knives, soft armor, and land mines, let’s call them that for the time being.

After the two incidents involving Zhang Heng, Zhang Yi and Wen Xuehai, Jiang Ning had a completely new view on life and death.

Refugees? Since ancient times, floods, earthquakes, and droughts have been the most desperate events for every dynasty. Every time a peasant uprising may break out, every suppression is accompanied by a sharp decline in population, economic regression, and external aggression.

It may even lead to the subversion of the dynasty. The symmetry of information directly determines the ruler's attitude towards the whole matter. There will be dynastic games, struggles for rights, and even more. As for the current situation,

As far as the Xia Dynasty is concerned, the failure of the reform led by Lu Yutong was undoubtedly due to the conservatives gaining the upper hand, so the current weak situation of the Xia Dynasty will still exist for a relatively long time. This is Jiang Ning's current judgment. Wang Anshi's reforms have already come out.

, what is missing is an opportunity, an opportunity for the destruction of conservatives. This opportunity may come from a peasant uprising, a raid by the Turkic royal court or the Yuan Dynasty, or even like the current drought...

Usually at this time, the emperor would pray for rain, etc. However, the negative high pressure came too early, or the El Niño phenomenon appeared irregularly. When the cycle passes, it will naturally rain. Of course, these crustal movements and meteorological disasters,

The basic common sense of soil erosion is nothing more than a fantasy to people of this era. No one will believe it and may even laugh at you.

Jiang Ning got up, paid the bill, and walked out of Liuji. He met a man in front of him. This man was wearing black cloth and holding a hook-and-scythe gun with a length of seven feet and two inches and an eight-inch head. He had a haggard face.

If a hook-and-scythe gun appears in the city of Hangzhou, then this person can only be Xu Ning, the golden gunner.

Cheng Jinyun assassinated Zheng Yiheng who was protected by Xu Ning, but Xu Ning did not return to the capital to return to his life? Jiang Ning thought in his heart that this guy was going to go to Liangshan in the future, but he was deceived by his cousin. After experiencing Zhang Heng and Zhang Yi

When the two of them heard that they wanted to go to Liangshan to join Song Chenjiang, Song Chenjiang would naturally accept him. Jiang Ning knew that Song Chenjiang was a real bandit. If Xu Ning went there, wouldn't he be even more powerful?
