Chapter 299



It is said that the scene was very chaotic at the time. The Sheng family's hidden guards were busy clearing out the remnants of the Xianyuan Sect and had no time to care about these people killing each other.

After the battle was over and the scene was cleaned up, 꺳 discovered that Sheng Dehai's body was covered with new whip wounds, and there was not a single piece of good flesh left!

All of this was caused by the two brothers of the Chang family when they were escaping! Seeing the two of them, they really hated this revenge for killing their father.

Sheng Nanxi sat on the wall holding a bottle of milk and listening to gossip. It was not surprising that the two brothers of the Chang family did such a perverted thing.

But I saw them look very cold-blooded before. In the Sheng Mansion, even if I knew who my biological father was, I would not say a word to him.

Later, Zhang and Chang Ningxue passed away one after another, and the two of them looked indifferent.

It was indeed somewhat surprising that he was still obsessed with revenge for his father's death before his death.

The exiles 그껩 successfully took refuge in Qingyun Pavilion.

Many of these officials came from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Textile Bureau, and were practical people with many years of experience. However, they were severely affected by the party struggles and were exiled.

In terms of experience and knowledge reserves, it was several levels higher than what Sheng Nanxi had received during her temporary training. Of course, there was no reason for her not to accept it.

Several projects in Nanyang County are in full swing. With the addition of the exile team, the Sheng family's work has become much easier.

As early autumn was approaching, this small county town, which had been isolated in a corner, unexpectedly welcomed a group of unimaginable heavyweights!

——A few months ago, there was a palace coup in the capital, and Zhu Taishi and others fled north with a group of upright civil servants and their families.

This Master Zhu's reputation spread all over the world, and he was admired by all the literati in the world. He was like a shining weather vane.

Although the escape to the north with the people was done secretly, many scholars got the news privately and followed their footsteps. In a short period of time, they took away a lot of people, including many who were quite capable.

This time there were so many of them that even Sheng Nanxi was stunned.

She knew that many writers were arrogant and proud, and their lifelong dream was to rule the country and bring peace to the world, and to assist a saintly monarch to leave a lasting legacy...

How could she, a small Qingyun Pavilion, deserve the loyalty of so many contemporary Confucian scholars? !

But now that you're here, I can't force you to leave.

We immediately sent Sheng Yuhan, who had been to Master Zhu's residence for consultation several times and was considered half of Zhu Chong's student, to the city to personally welcome him. We will settle him down first.

Sheng Nanxi was indeed suspicious at first, and did not understand the real intention of Master Zhu and others to come to Nanyang County. She even quietly climbed to the roof of her house to observe for several days.

Seeing that they were indeed sincere and did not seem to have any bad intentions, he nodded in agreement and agreed to let them officially join Qingyun Pavilion.

As for your question, why the husband of the former Grand Tutor and the Imperial Censor was a teacher in the several schools she had built, and the former head of the Ministry of Justice was personally in charge of the order of the shelter for her,

As the former Minister of Agriculture, she managed the newly built greenhouses in several nearby counties, and the former Deputy Minister of Personnel helped her plan the promotion and deployment of officials...

With such high-specification configuration, wouldn't she, a small owner of Qingyun Pavilion, feel nervous?

Sheng Nanxi patted her chest and said: "Flustered? Not at all. Only I am not panicked, and the one who is panicked is others!"

The little girl has been living a very comfortable life recently. She has even gained a little weight because of her comfortable life.

But she didn't know that after she watched Master Zhu leave, Zhou Lin, the wife of the former censor, looked around the beams and frowned, saying:

"Master, I don't know why, but I always feel like someone is watching us recently. It seems that just now, the pair of eyes hidden in the dark suddenly disappeared."

Zhu Chong drank his tea. He seemed not surprised by what she said, and said calmly:

"Well, if we suddenly came to seek refuge, it would only make you suspicious. Now that we are gone, it means we have passed the test."

Zhou Linshu was relieved and now dared to ask the truth:

"Master, you observed the sky at night and said that a wise leader in the north had risen up with the mandate of heaven and led us to flee north. Could that wise leader be the Sheng family? But although we seem to be powerful, we don't seem to have the ambition to compete for the Central Plains."

Zhu Chong looked around at the people sitting in the room. Seeing that they were all alert, as if they had the same question, he stroked his beard and asked instead of answering:

"You have served in the court for many years and have trained your eyes to be sharp. May I ask you, what have you seen since entering Nanyang County?"

Zhou Lin thought for a moment and said seriously:

"To be honest, Nanyang County is beyond my expectations. Now, Nanqi has been in chaos due to natural disasters and court struggles, but Nanyang County has not been affected. The people on the streets are all happy, just like in a peaceful and prosperous era."

"I feel the same way." A middle-aged man next to him said,

"The streets of Nanyang County are clean and tidy, and there are hardly any refugees. I heard that all of them were taken in by the government's shelters, and the young and strong ones were given jobs in Qingyun Pavilion. It is said that the wages are several times higher than those elsewhere."

In my early years, I served as a county magistrate in a remote area. I witnessed with my own eyes how incapable the government's disaster relief work was in the face of severe natural disasters.

Now seeing that County Magistrate Huang and Qingyun Pavilion have worked together to control the impact of the natural disaster on the people so well, I was shocked and couldn't help but say a few more words:

"Everyone knows that in previous years, disaster relief was either provided by the imperial court or donated by wealthy families. However, the savings of the people and the imperial court will eventually run out, and there is no continuous supply of relief to the refugees."

"The owner of Qingyun Pavilion is really a good idea. Paying the refugees to work for him not only solves the problem of disorder in the city, but also gives these people some spare money to buy things produced by Qingyun Pavilion."

"As long as the money is circulated, the market will naturally flourish, and more people will come to buy goods, which is an indirect win-win situation. Compared with the original unilateral disaster relief, this method is naturally more long-term."

"Brother Zhao, what you said is very insightful." As soon as he finished speaking, a man took over the conversation. His tone was full of shock.

"And then there are the heating, greenhouse vegetables, snow-melting agents, and all kinds of amazing medicines... every one of these has benefited the people, and any one of them alone is enough to go down in history."

"I heard before that the Sheng family had received help from Gao 그, but I didn't believe it. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid this is the only reason that makes sense."

Everyone started talking at once. Zhu Chong said nothing, just listened with a smile. When he saw that the time was right, he said:

"Yes, didn't all of you study hard in the past with the ambition of seeking welfare for the common people and peace in this chaotic world?"

"In that case, as long as what we do is for the welfare of the people, then we have not violated our original intention. Why should we care about whether we are loyal to a certain royal family?"
