One Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Return Home

Time flies, Ming Teng returns to the capital with his uncle. When he sees the city gate, Ming Teng moves his still unhealed arm and says, "I'm finally home."

Changzhi looked a little haggard. He had been traveling all the way. Fortunately, Mingteng was fine. "Let's go home."

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, Changzhi saw his second brother and called out, "Second brother."

Changyi also laughed, "Where's Mingteng? Come down quickly."

Ming Teng followed his fourth uncle out of the carriage and called out in a shy voice, "Second Uncle."

When Chang Yi saw Ming Teng's injured arm, his smile disappeared and he said sternly, "I told you not to be careless. When your grandfather comes back, I'll see how he'll deal with you."

Ming Teng shrank his head and said, "I was wrong."

Chang Yi snorted and asked his brother, "Did the journey go smoothly?"

Changzhi was also angry with Mingteng, so he didn't speak up for Mingteng. He followed his second brother and replied, "It's going pretty smoothly. However, I heard a lot about conflicts on the grassland. It's not easy to divide Rongchuan."

"What conflicts occurred?"

Changzhi told Mingteng what he had seen and heard, and Mingteng added a few appropriate sentences.

Chang Yi's expression was serious. "Is it so dangerous?"

Ming Teng was most touched. "The hatred was so deep that in some families, all the males before the age of ten died."

Chang Yi snorted, "The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. In my opinion, Rong Chuan is too lenient."

Ming Teng touched his nose. His second uncle had seen blood before and was very cruel. He said for his uncle, "After all, his uncle has never been to the battlefield."

Chang Yi, "Ah, I still don't have enough experience."

Chang Zhi remained silent. The second brother had experienced the most in the family. Even though he still had a silly face, most people could not stand his angry eyes.

As they were talking, they arrived at the main courtyard. Ming Teng didn't wait for his two uncles and walked in quickly, "Grandma, grandson is back."

Zhulan had heard the conversation outside a long time ago. When she saw her grandson, she threw the fruit in her hand at him and said, "You little brat, do you know how worried your family is when they heard that something happened to you?"

Ming Teng took the fruit with his uninjured hand. He was too guilty to look at his grandmother. He already knew what had happened. He knelt down and said, "My grandson shouldn't have been careless. I know."

Zhulan looked at Mingteng's injured arm and felt distressed again, "How did you hurt your arm? Is it serious?"

"It's okay, I'm almost healed, but it will take a hundred days to heal the broken bones. The doctor told me to take good care of myself."

Zhulan saw that her grandson had not lost weight and was still in good spirits, and she felt relieved. "You should be glad that your parents are not at home."

Otherwise, Li would have beaten her son with a stick long ago.

Ming Teng was also thankful, as his parents must have taken turns beating him at home. He looked at his wife wiping her tears and felt heartbroken.

Zhulan saw it clearly and waved her hand, "You two can go back and talk. I have something to ask your fourth uncle."

Ming Teng felt embarrassed, "Grandma, your grandson will accompany you for a while."

Zhu Lan said coldly, "I get angry when I see you."

Ming Teng could only stand up and take his wife away. Zhu Lan said, "Go see your grandfather later."

They only dared to tell their uncle after knowing that Ming Teng was fine. As a result, they underestimated their uncle who had experienced the extinction of his clan. Their uncle had known that Ming Teng was in trouble a long time ago, but he pretended that he didn't know and didn't want to worry them. She admired his psychological quality very much.

Zhulan waited for Mingteng to go out and ask, "Is the situation on the grassland very bad?"

Changzhi told what he had seen and heard, "When I arrived, Rongchuan had already used bloody means, and things will go much more smoothly in the future."

Zhulan sighed, integration is not that easy, "You still need to brainwash."

However, don’t think about it now. We can only wait until he is suppressed and conquered, and then slowly brainwash him.

Ming Teng held his wife's hand. Liu Jia was embarrassed and wanted to break away, but Ming Teng held her hand tighter and tighter, "I'm sorry to have worried you these days."

Liu Jia's voice was tearful, "You know how worried I am."

She was getting very stuck in a rut at the time.

Ming Teng stopped and said, "I know. I'm sorry."

Liu Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I forgive you. You must protect yourself in the future."

Ming Teng thought about it carefully and was terrified. He was afraid that his grandparents would not be able to bear it, and that his wife would not be able to get over it. Fortunately, fortunately, "Yeah."

Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren listened to Jianyan's talk about the situation at the pharmacy, "Keep watching."

"yes."

Zhou Shuren could not let the Qi family run the pharmacy for the sake of Liu Feng, his grandson-in-law, not for revenge. The medicinal herbs grown in the county under Liu Feng's jurisdiction were good. This guy was smart and a good official who served the people.

Qiu Yan walked in, "Sir, please take a look at the account book."

Zhou Shuren didn't want to look at it. What was there to look at? There was not much silver left in the treasury, and the reserve silver could not be moved. It was really a headache.

Qiu Yan put down the account book and said, "Some people come to me for help, all of them want to approve money."

Zhou Shuren, "You also know the situation of the national treasury. The Ministry of Industry has cut silver. We really have no silver left."

Originally, the fishing boats could be sold in exchange for silver, but due to food shortages, the fishing boats had to be sold directly in exchange for goods. The construction of dikes in the south required silver everywhere, so all the roads for further construction were stopped. Now all the silver had to be used where it was needed most.

Qiu Yan also knew, "Hey, I haven't had trouble with money for many years."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "It's because I know how to save money."

As a result, last year's war required relief money, and there were floods in several continents, all of which were major grain-producing continents. It really screwed him.

Qiu Yan smiled and said, "That's why I always admire you. Life would be even harder without you."

Zhou Shuren picked up the account book and flipped through it. "Once the pharmacy is built, there will be money."

"Taxes?"

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes. "How much can the initial tax revenue be? The pharmacy needs a few stable drug dealers to supply medicinal materials. This requires bidding. Whoever pays more money will win."

Qiu Yan lowered his voice, "Sir, you know this so clearly, this couldn't be your suggestion."

Zhou Shuren didn't hide it either, "Yeah."

Qiu Yan clasped his fists and said, "I admire you."

Zhou Shuren put down the account book and said, "Okay, go get busy. We'll talk about it when the money arrives."

"yes."

In Zhoujia Village, Jiang Miao was chatting with his eldest brother and asked, "Brother, my uncle is about to leave for Beijing. Are you and your sister-in-law going back with him?"

Jiang Du shook his head, "No, I will wait for you to give birth and then go back to Beijing with mother."

Jiang Miao touched her belly and knew it would take a long time before she could give birth. She was happy that her eldest brother was not leaving. "I guess the uncles didn't come to look for you any more."

Jiang Du, "No, I said if you come again, I won't teach my cousin anymore, and everything is quiet now."

If he didn't want his cousins ​​to become independent and not have to worry about their families in the future, he really didn't want to care.

Jiang Miao, "Have you accepted the invitation from the county magistrate?"

Jiang Du, "There were too many invitations. I only went a few times. I turned down all the other invitations on the grounds that I was studying."

"This county magistrate has a lot on his mind!"

"Um."

In the capital, Zhulan received a letter from her youngest son and was overjoyed. "The child will be home tomorrow."

Zhao knew how much her mother-in-law missed her brother-in-law, and she was happy for her. "I haven't seen my brother-in-law for more than a year. I don't know how much he has changed."

Zhulan put the letter away and said, "He said he has grown a lot taller."

He also instructed Qingxue, "Prepare more of Changzhong's favorite dishes tomorrow. The child wrote that he missed the food at home and that the food at Wu's house didn't taste good."

Qingxue went out immediately. They had been frugal recently, so there wasn't much meat in the house. They needed to go to the farm and catch some sheep, chickens and ducks.
