Chapter 1301 It Must Cost a Lot of Money

The next day, Zhou Shuren woke up to the sound of training. He opened his eyes and was confused for a while before he realized that he was in the military camp.

I got up, changed my clothes, and when I pushed the door open I smelled a faint fishy scent of the sea. I squinted my eyes. It was windy today.

Jianyan stood by and said, "Sir, you are up."

Zhou Shuren hummed, and he looked at the sound of running in the distance, "You got up early?"

"Yes, the navy started training, and the little one got up. The navy's training is very strict."

General Hou is very disciplined and has really put all his efforts into the navy.

Zhou Shuren made an estimate yesterday, and although there were some discrepancies with the allocated money, these discrepancies were within the tolerance range of him and the emperor. However, the chickens still had to be killed, and it was none of his business.

After Zhou Shuren finished washing up, he met General Hou. No, it should be General Hou who was waiting for him.

Zhou Shuren, "General Hou, good morning."

General Hou was stunned for a moment, apparently not used to this way of greeting. "Good morning."

Zhou Shuren, "I guess the general is waiting for me?"

When General Hou knew the entourage list, he put Zhou Shuren on high alert. The Ministry of Revenue was the place that loaned them money every year.

General Hou has been very worried in the past two years. He has spent all his efforts to train the army that the emperor needs. Therefore, he has aged a little faster in the past two years. The gray hair on his temples can be seen. "Yesterday I saw that you were very curious about the military camp. It's still early now, I will take you around."

Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, "This is a military camp, would it be okay for you to take me around?"

General Hou, "No, please, sir."

Zhou Shuren and General Hou didn't have much of a relationship, so this guy was so proactive, obviously he had something to gain. Following General Hou, Zhou Shuren felt a subtle scrutiny, and he understood.

In the capital, Zhulan looked at the sky. It was a rare good day today. The temperature was not high, which was really suitable for traveling. Thinking of this, she felt that God was taking care of the Tao family.

Zhulan had already changed her clothes, and Tao asked her to go to the Huguo Temple to burn incense. Tao was a senior Buddhist and would go out to worship Buddha even in the hot summer.

Zhulan did not bring her daughter-in-law, only Yulu. Li had copied a lot of scriptures, and Yulu also had some research on them. Among the several granddaughters in the family, only Yulu took the initiative to ask to go.

The carriage arrived at the foot of the Huguo Temple Mountain, where there was a small market. The poor villagers nearby relied on the Huguo Temple market for their livelihood.

Zhulan got off the carriage and said to Tao: "There are many people coming to burn incense today."

Tao stretched his legs and said, "Let's go. Let's walk up the mountain in one breath and talk when we get there."

Zhulan, "Okay."

When they reached the mountain, Zhulan felt discomfort in her chest and rested for a while before getting up. She stayed with Tao for a while and then got up to go to the garden behind the Huguo Temple to cool off.

The scenery of Huguo Temple is very famous, especially the scenery after autumn, which is definitely a unique view in the capital.

Yu Lu whispered, "Grandma, do foreigners also believe in Buddhism?"

Zhulan naturally saw foreigners worshipping Buddha. "Some believed, some didn't, and some were just curious."

It is a pleasure to sit in the pavilion, enjoy the breeze and look at the scenery of the mountains and forests in the distance.

At this time, Zhulan heard footsteps and turned around to see Qingxue and others stopping the newcomer. Zhulan was surprised and said, "Yao, Master Yao."

The person who came was Yao Zheyu. Yao Zheyu was dressed in casual clothes, holding Buddhist beads in his hand, and was staring at her.

Yao Zheyu clenched his Buddhist beads, exhaled, and extended his hand to greet her. "I have seen the old lady. I came here to see the old lady."

Zhulan motioned Qingxue to move aside, "Lord Yao doesn't just want to see me, is there something wrong?"

Yao Zheyu's eyes were dazed, but he still walked a few steps forward and finally sat down. "I was just a little confused, like I was in a dream and couldn't wake up. After seeing the old lady today, I suddenly realized that dreams are just dreams, and dreams are always fake."

Zhulan was startled and sweat broke out on her back. So what did Yao Zheyu dream about? It must be a dream that was very different from the present, otherwise he would not have come to Huguo Temple. "I don't understand what you are saying, but I think you will get the answer from the master of Huguo Temple."

Yao Zheyu looked at Old Madam Yang with a careful gaze. This was not the woman he saw in his dream. The straightforward woman in the dream was blurred in his memory, but the old lady in front of him was real.

Although he had not seen the old lady very often, he knew that she was a very shrewd person. He also thought of Lord Zhou, a man of extraordinary talent, shrewd and calculating, completely different from the man in his dream.

Yao Zheyu took a sip of tea. He was really possessed by a demon, but his dreams were too real. Although his life had its ups and downs, it was still perfect.

Yao Zheyu only felt that Qingcha was becoming more bitter at this moment. Just as the master said, dreams were his deep desire, which led to the appearance of demonic obstacles.

Zhulan didn't make any extra movements. At the same time, she thought to herself that Yao Zheyu had the dream because he must still be unwilling to give up. That's why he thought about it day and night and dreamed about it with his eyes closed. Even if he wanted to be open-minded, he was still unwilling deep down.

Yao Zheyu came back to his senses and stood up, "I'm sorry for disturbing the old lady today."

Zhulan looked very profound, "It seems that Master Yao has figured it out. Congratulations, Master."

Yao Zheyu leaned forward slightly, "Yes, I have figured it out. I will not disturb the old lady anymore."

Zhulan stared at Yao Zheyu. Just now, she could feel that Yao Zheyu was suppressing something. Now Yao Zheyu seemed much clearer and nodded slightly. After Yao Zheyu left, Zhulan stopped picking up the teacup. Just now, Yao Zheyu kept calling her "old lady"!

And she also followed this title and called herself "old man"!

When Tao came, Zhulan had already taken another stroll and saw Yao Yao's younger brother, Fohao. It was Yao Yao who told her that the two siblings looked somewhat alike, which made it easier to recognize them.

Zhulan observed that Yao Yao's brother was living a good life after becoming a monk. He always had a smile on his face and it was obvious that he was enjoying his current life.

Pinggang, Zhou Shuren followed the emperor to the shipyard. Before arriving, Zhou Shuren could see the frame of the ship in the distance.

When they arrived at the place, Zhou Shuren followed the emperor into the shipyard. The official in front introduced them. Zhou Shuren looked at the busy craftsmen and felt proud. Look, their technology is now advanced. This is a representation of strength.

The Emperor was obviously very satisfied with the Shipyard. How could he not be satisfied? Even the obsolete ships could be sold for money. Then Zhou Shuren had the honor of seeing the drawings that were still being improved.

Even Zhou Shuren, a layman, could feel the painstaking effort put into the composition just by looking at the complicated drawings, and couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

The emperor noticed it, "What does Shuren think?"

Zhou Shuren, "It must have cost a lot of money."
