Chapter 41 Liu Lao Shangshu
Chapter 41 �
Zhou Mengchen estimated that it was probably the same number.
As mentioned earlier, this water clock is similar to a luxury product. The market is not too broad and there is no time-waste. It is like wooden furniture and can be used for many years. In terms of data, in the past or two months, thousands of taels of silver were made at once, but after that, it fell into a situation of long-term flow and even less and less income.
However, Zhou Mengchen was not worried that he would have no money in the future. Instead, he was worried that he would have too much money.
Zhou Mengchen said, "Just take out 1,200 taels, first find a place nearby and move the wooden workshop out, not in the Yangjiayuan. The two families are separated. In addition, I want to renovate the Yangjiayuan. You can start working on it."
After this incident.
Zhou Mengchen understood.
The more money, the better.
I deeply understand why only the career path is the right path in this era? It is because even if you get a lot of money from other roads, you can't afford it. It may even be that a man is innocent and bears a treasure. Zhou Mengchen thinks that he has 500 taels at home, and some daily expenses are enough to deal with it.
Five hundred taels these days still have quite strong purchasing power.
As for the other money, Zhou Mengchen decided to distribute it.
What the county magistrate wants to seize is the cash in the account, but if the cash becomes a brand new home for health care, will the county magistrate still want it?
Of course I don't want it anymore.
The county magistrate shook his sleeves and took it away. But what is a yard? Not to mention, the place of this yangyuan is not very good. Otherwise, it would have been abandoned for so many years, and at most people nearby came here to pick up bricks and tiles and build their own houses. No one wanted to occupy this piece of land.
The county magistrate is not from Wuchang. What is the matter if he wants a large courtyard in Wuchang?
In addition, ancient times are not modern.
The city has not changed much.
The land of Yangjiyuan is also considered the land of the court. It is not easy for anyone to take it into private ownership.
Zhou Mengchen knew that the county magistrate would naturally not attack him, but he should also beware that others would do this.
After thinking about it, it would be better to be rich and happy. Anyway, Zhou Mengchen never thought about taking all the money in his arms.
After hearing this, Cheng Guangde said, "It is easy to find a place outside to resettle the workshop. It doesn't cost much, but it's just a thousand two hundred taels of repairs and maintenance houses?"
Zhou Mengchen said, "Why isn't it enough?"
Cheng Guangde said: "There are too many."
If one thousand two hundred taels of silver is given to the dignitaries, it is probably not enough to even a few Taihu stones. But for ordinary families, there are too many.
Zhou Mengchen also talked about this matter before.
Therefore, I never thought about how to design it. It was nothing more than a large courtyard to build a house so that these elderly and children could have a safe place to live. In this way, it would not cost much.
Zhou Mengchen said: "If there are too many, then create more things." Zhou Mengchen decided to redesign the new Yangjianyuan with a resentment of spending money at the sudden expense.
Not to mention how Zhou Mengchen thought about renovating the homestead. Just talking, Li Yunzhen seemed to be in her heart like a rabbit, walking along the way, and she walked fast and slow. It seemed to change with her mood. When she thought of something good, her face turned red and her steps were light. Xiaohuan couldn't catch up with her. When she thought of something bad, her steps were heavy, as if she was carrying a thousand pounds of shackles on her feet, and she almost didn't move forward. It seemed that Xiaohuan was about to push him away.
No matter how Li Yunzhen leaves, she will eventually go home.
Li Yunzhen looked up at this place and said in her heart: "How can I find a way to sneak out?" For a moment, Li Yunzhen couldn't think of any solution.
But when she returned home, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere at home was a little uneven. There was a depressing and solemn atmosphere in the whole house.
Li Yunzhen didn't dare to ask too much.
It was not until dinner that I realized that my father and second brother had not come to have dinner.
Li Yunzhen asked carefully: "Brother, why didn't my father and second brother come to have dinner?"
Li Dalang said: "Today, an important patient came to the clinic. His condition was very dangerous. My father and my second brother went to take care of him. I don't have time to eat now. In the past few days, you will be more at ease. My family members don't have time to care about you, so don't let the family worry."
When Li Yunzhen heard this, she was immediately happy and said in her heart: "It's God who helped me." She was secretly happy in her heart, tried hard to gather her expression, and asked quickly: "What important patient?"
Li Dalang said: "It's Liu Shangshu of Macheng."
When Li Yunzhen heard this, he felt aroused in his heart and said, "Is it Mr. Liu? How is his condition? I remember my father said that Mr. Liu is a famous doctor himself, why did he come to us?"
Li Yunzhen is not very concerned about politics. If it were someone else, Li Yunzhen probably didn’t know, but Old Shangshu Liu would be different.
As mentioned earlier, the Li family is from Huangzhou, and the Old Shangshu Liu is also from Huangzhou, so he is considered a fellow villager. The Old Shangshu Liu himself is not a good prime minister, but a representative of good doctors. The Li family is even more famous doctors in Wuchang, and they are all in the same circle. Li Wenyan admires the Old Shangshu Liu very much.
Therefore, I often mention it at home.
Li Yunzhen naturally remembers it.
Li Dalang sighed and said, "Do not treat yourself. Moreover, Mr. Liu is very clear about his physical condition. He didn't want to come to Wuchang for treatment. This time he just couldn't resist his children. I have also seen the pulse of Mr. Liu---"
Li Yunzhen immediately asked, "How is it?"
Li Dalang shook his head gently and said, "When Mr. Liu was young, he worked too hard and did not care about his health. He had already fallen into the root of his illness. If Mr. Liu had not been able to maintain his health by himself, he would have retired three years ago and had a good rest. I am afraid that there would be no more than the past three years. It seems that he is in good health, but in fact, he will be exhausted and he will be sad at the end of the year."
After hearing this, Li Yunzhen's joy in her heart also dissipated.
If you are sad at the end of the year, you may not be able to live this winter.
Li Yunzhen said: "Old Secretary Liu is a good official, why is that?"
Mr. Liu's name is Liu Tianhe, and even among the current officials in Huangzhou Prefecture, the highest position is also the pride of the people of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture. Li Yunzhen grew up listening to the story of Mr. Liu.
For example, when Mr. Liu was an official, Liu Jin was in charge. Mr. Liu was just a censor at that time. He was just a censor and was upright. He offended Liu Jin and was imprisoned and escorted to Beijing. More than 10,000 people in Shaanxi were blocked by the road. More than a dozen heroes in Shaanxi were escorted all the way, and even Guo Zhen and others were criticized for the injustice of Mr. Liu. Before the steps were killed, Mr. Liu was sent to the imperial prison. In the imperial prison, Mr. Liu was calm and calm and treated the prisoners. Even the imperial prison was highly admired.
Later, Liu Jin fell and demoted to the county magistrate. Later, he was promoted to Gansu.
In the Daxing military farming method in Gansu, the military and civilians were safe. Later, he was ordered to govern the Yellow River. Wherever he took office, he thought about the people in water and fire, day and night. Within three months, he built dozens of canals and dredged more than 70 rivers in Shandong, and the people were safe. Later, he was ordered to prepare borders and rectify military equipment. During the great victory of Heishuidun, the Grand Secretary Liu commanded the General Zhou Shangwen to kill Jinong, Mongolia, which was equivalent to the Mongolian Deputy Khan.
Later, he was ordered to rectify the Beijing camp in the name of the Minister of War. He was overworked and wrote a letter to retire and went home to recuperate.
This happened three years ago.
Therefore, Mr. Liu is the pride of the people of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture.
The Li family's Dalang sighed and said, "It's all fate." Then he said, "I guess many people in Wuchang City will come to visit Mr. Liu. Although Mr. Liu has already said that no one has seen each other. So during this period, there are so many people in the family, so you can be at peace."
Li Yunzhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I know what to do." She paused slightly and said, "Can I go and see Mr. Liu?"
The Li family Dalang said, "Don't cause trouble."
Li Yunzhen said unwillingly: "Why can the second brother go? Why can't I go?"
The Li family Dalang said, "You have any reason. Among the three brothers and sisters, who has the best medical skills?"
Li Yunzhen could only lower her head and said, "Second Brother."
The Li family Dalang said: "Who wants to take the imperial examination again?"
Only then did Li Yunzhen realize that there was such a reason why his father took his second brother as his assistant?
He only paid attention to the achievements of Mr. Liu, but he forgot that Mr. Liu was also a second-class Jinshi and ranked high. There is nothing else. The unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty court. The top Jinshi was to enter the Hanlin Academy. The second-class censor was to stay in Beijing again, and he was to be a local official again. He was to wait again.
Mr. Liu became an official censor, which shows that the ranking of the imperial examinations is definitely not low.
Li Erlang, a young scholar, failed to take the Juren exam twice in a row. Maybe he could be reborn after being given a little advice from Mr. Liu. The next time he took the Juren exam, he would be able to pass the Juren exam in one fell swoop.
Li Yunzhen thought about this and silently hoped that his second brother would get the true teachings of Mr. Liu so that their Li family would change their families from then on.
However, Li Yunzhen still hoped to meet Mr. Liu in her heart. After all, in her opinion, Mr. Liu has always been the character in the story. Now that she is so close to her, how can she not go and see it? But she immediately thought of something else.
"If my second brother really passes the exam, will it be even more impossible for me and him?" Li Yunzhen suddenly thought.
Li Yunzhen also felt that her parents were not very supportive of her and Zhou Mengchen. If her second brother passed the imperial examination, the Li family would go a step further and be considered the number one figure in the Shilin. However, her parents probably would only disagree even more.
What should I do?
The girl's mind has nowhere to be settled.
I can only hide it in my heart. I dare not let people know. I am worried alone. I am even more worried about what he thinks?
