On the tenth day of May in the second year of Shengui (318), Liang Palace.
The window was gently pushed open, and the south wind immediately rushed in.
The sky is covered with dark clouds and there is thunder.
There were slight ripples on the lake, and the boats were drifting.
In the nearby pine forest, waves roared and birds started to fly.
After a while, the patter of raindrops fell, cleaning up the dust in the air and seeming to eliminate the boredom in people's hearts.
"This rain has three joys." Shao Xun turned around, slumped on the lounge chair by the window, and said with a smile: "One joy nourishes all things. The garden sunflower I planted will probably not die from drought. I planted it in February.
The spring millet is growing vigorously again."
"Mr. Lang, I have watered the garden for you. The sunflower will survive the drought." Wang Jingfeng's cheeks were full, like a hamster, eating non-stop.
"Ayu, if you can't speak, just say a few words." Shao Xun said helplessly.
Wang Huifeng walked out of the room, his cheeks were red and his hair was slightly damp.
She combed her hair as if no one else was around, looked outside, and said, "Since the spring, there has been abundant rain, so the autumn crops will be abundant."
Shao Xun looked at this woman strangely.
She has always been very independent.
After making up her mind, she would not care about other people's opinions, nor would she be coy, but would be open and generous, never hiding her identity as Mr. Liang's new wife.
Even my sister Wang Jingfeng was a little dumbfounded when she saw this gesture. Do you really not care about other people's opinions?
"This second rain can greatly replenish the water volume of Bianshui, Jishui and Suiyang canals to facilitate water transportation from north to south and east to west." Shao Xun added: "Without water transportation, we can only transport it by land. I don't know how many can be accommodated.
Refugees.”
Wang Huifeng stood in front of the tall desk, searched for it, put a few official letters on the top, and said: "Nanmen, Jiwu, Chengkuang Sanlongxiang Mansion should allocate the second batch of grain, cattle, and farm tools.
Since Lang Jun mentioned the convenience of water transportation, please distribute it as soon as possible."
"If you don't go to war, you have to manage politics at home. I really can't tell which one is more annoying." Shao Xun sighed.
After Wang Jingfeng finished eating the cakes, he felt very bored and slipped away quietly.
The two ignored her and continued to discuss the details of the three Longxiang mansions in the south that were only officially built this year.
According to statistics, there are already eight Longxiang mansions near Bianliang City, with a total of 9,600 soldiers.
Among them, Cangyuan (located in the north of Bianliang), Chuitai (located near Muze in the southeast of Bianliang), and Bajiao (located in the west of Bianliang, near Zhongmou) have been established for some time and have been operating normally.
Pingqiu (located in Fengqiu County) and Donghun (located in Xiaohuang County) Erlongxiang Mansion were resettled at the end of last year.
Jiwu and Chengkuang Longxiang Mansion are both located in Xiangyi County. The land and population are all obtained from the mouths of the local small gentry and powerful people.
Nanmen Longxiang Mansion is located in Weishi County. It was directly transformed from the manor of the exterminated Ruan family - they are all good land and are located near the city wall, hence the name.
These three Longxiang mansions were only officially established in the spring, and the personnel were in place. However, because they missed the spring sowing, they could only plant short-term grains, and the court needed to provide a supply of grain.
These are the things Wang Huifeng urged.
"This little secretary!" Shao Xun thought angrily: "You have to find work for me all day long."
The rain outside the window became more intense, and it made a crackling sound on the window.
Wang Huifeng came over, covered most of the window, and said, "Someone swore a few days ago that he did not want to be a coward or a tyrant. He wants me to correct him."
After closing the window, she knelt beside the lounge chair and looked at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun stretched out his hand, reached into his clothes and groped around.
Wang Huifeng let him wreak havoc for a while, and after giving him enough sweetness, he advised: "Men and women should be restrained in their affairs."
After saying that, his face turned slightly red, he turned away and said, "Didn't I give it to you just now?"
Shao Xun thought about it carefully, sighed with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Yes, there is still a lot to do, so don't slack off."
In fact, one thing about this era is relatively friendly to the monarch, that is, he does not need to conquer everything personally.
The reason is still a matter of culture.
The social atmosphere is killing people!
In some eras, if you dared to hand over the army and let the generals take it on an expedition, the soldiers would dare to prepare yellow robes and give you the whole job.
But in this case, because of the inequality in personality, the clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, and the strict hierarchy, there is no need to hold the army tightly in your hands or even lock it in a safe.
"It's enough to leave eight Longxiang mansions here." After Shao Xun finished reviewing it, he put the official letter on the other side after sealing it.
Wang Huifeng checked it carefully again, put it away and placed it in the wooden box.
In the evening, someone will come to collect it and send it to the Prime Minister.
"Someone in Luoyang has started to manage the manor again, and it has caused imitation. Are you going to ignore it?" Wang Huifeng picked up an official letter from the traitorous supervisor, handed it to Shao Xun, and asked.
"Ignore it for the time being. In fact, there are not many people doing it." Shao Xun scanned it and was about to throw it aside when he suddenly became wicked and wrote "I know" at the end.
"Yang Bao, please recruit more troops and ships." Wang Huifeng took out another portion.
After Shao Xun read it carefully, he didn't write it this time - it wasn't appropriate to write it, because it was to be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Yu Chen has agreed, but has given a limit on how many new buildings can be added in a year to reduce money and food expenses. Shao Xun followed suit.
Yang Bao used to be the captain of Duzhi in Luoyang. He was recently transferred to Liang Guo to serve as the newly established position of Zhonglang General (sixth grade) in Duzhi, specializing in farming and transportation matters.
In other words, the Duzhi captains who were originally on the same level now have a superior, namely the new Duzhi Zhonglang General Yang Bao.
As an old man from Yuancong, this guy's official position is getting bigger and bigger.
Next, there are many miscellaneous matters, such as demarcating areas for grazing and farming for the Luoyan Army;
For example, after receiving more than a hundred hectares of land from the Jiang family in Kaocheng, Tian Cao asked for instructions to exchange it with the Yu family next door and try to connect it into a piece of land for greater use.
For example, the group of Qingzhou disciples brought by Wang Sui were in principle arranged to work under Cao Lingshi to supplement the staff, but approval was still required.
For example, a new batch of equipment delivered to the hotel is not up to standard and needs to be sent back for re-training.
For example, Yu Liang asked for instructions to recruit refugees, went to Mi County to cut down large trees, etc.
There are so many things going on, I really don’t know how some diligent monarchs can get so excited.
After Zhu Yuanzhang took control of Nanjing, he stopped going to war and only sent his subordinates to lead troops in the war. He was probably hindered by these nonsense, right?
After working on it until the heavy rain stopped and the sky got dark, Shao Xun put his brush aside and prepared to eat.
Wang Huifeng sorted out the miscellaneous official letters again before leaving and went to take a bath.
The area between your legs is extremely sticky and needs to be cleaned quickly.
When she was taking a bath, her face was a little red and there was a hint of determination.
Mr. Liang was going to go fishing today, but she stopped him and gave him a lot of sweet treats. It can be said that he was feeding a tiger with his own body. He was very brave.
In fact, these political matters can be dealt with completely. When the Prime Minister meets, he will naturally understand and handle them directly for you.
There is a difference between a system where there is a prime minister and a prime minister, and a system where the prime minister is abolished and the six ministries are directly responsible to the emperor.
When a prince is granted a title and worships a prime minister, the prime minister must be "worshiped", which shows the high status and the weight of power.
Theoretically, the Prime Minister can allow the monarch to "sit inside" and "leave foreign affairs to my disposal", and this is completely in line with the law and tradition.
Of course, the monarch can also interfere with the prime minister's country. This is the battle between monarch power and prime minister power.
Wang Huifeng asked Shao Xun to be more diligent, which actually weakened the power and influence of the Prime Minister Yu Chen. To put it bluntly, it was illegal, because you should not interfere in the Prime Minister's handling of national affairs like this.
As for whether there are other reasons for this, it is unknown to outsiders.
Moreover, it also depends on what other people think, such as Yu Chen - if he can't make the decision in anything, what is the difference between him and the bachelors who will be elected in later generations?

"Hutou, call me grandpa." In the courtyard after the rain, which was extremely fresh, Wang Jingfeng hugged a chubby child and said with a smile.
When Hu Tou saw Shao Xun coming, he immediately twisted around to get down.
"Grandpa." After coming out of his mother's arms, Hutou staggered and walked. When he had only the last few steps left, he kicked hard and jumped directly into Shao Xun's arms.
Shao Xun picked up his son high and smiled from ear to ear.
The tiger's name is Shao Yu. He was born in November of the ninth year of Yongjia (315). He is four years old this year - only two and a half years old in one year.
This child is the fourth and is relatively young compared to the three previous brothers, but he gets a lot of attention.
The two sisters Jing Feng and Hui Feng doted on him very much, and Wang Yan and Wang Xuan's father and son also visited him several times.
I don’t know whether it is lucky or unfortunate to have a grandfather like Wang Yan.
Grandpa would brag a little, such as how special and "different" his son was, and make up some fake news and short stories, and Hu Tou's reputation would spread. This was his luck.
But the misfortune is also here.
Shao Xun just hugged his son for a short while, and he was already thinking a lot in his mind.
The child didn't understand this, he just opened his big black eyes, looked at his father carefully, and kept laughing.
Smiling and laughing, two bubbles came out of his mouth.
Wang Jingfeng covered his mouth and smiled, saying: "The tiger head is so stupid."
She said she was stupid, but she was very precious in her heart. She walked over, hugged both father and son in her arms, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, if you are good to me, you should also be good to Hutou."
The tiger's head whined, seeming to agree with his mother's statement.
Wang Jingfeng chuckled, stood on tiptoes, put his face between Shao Xun and his son, and said with a smile: "The tiger head is so strong, he will become a general in the future."
Shao Xun felt that the smile on his face was a little stiff.
He suddenly had some reflections.
When fishing, will the fishing rod be broken and people dragged into the water?
"The tiger head is indeed very powerful." Shao Xun echoed absentmindedly.
He was already very tall and extremely strong.
Wang Jingfeng is also tall and has a rather small frame.
Due to the stature of his parents, Hutou will be larger than the average child when he is born. It is hard to say what he will look like in the future.
"That's right." Wang Jingfeng proudly took the child back and said, "Of all the children, the one with the tiger head is the most like you."
"You're so young, can you tell?" Shao Xun said helplessly.
"That's right." Wang Jingfeng said with a smile: "Hutou is the most filial person. He looks forward to seeing you every day and makes trouble several times a day."
Xiao Shao Xun had many worries.
That's all, it's still early for these things. The most important thing now is to eliminate Liu Cong and Sima Rui.
Guo Rong and others are leaving, and Wen Qiao is also going north. I will take time to meet them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to give them some advice.
Chapter completed!
