The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2229 Going Out
"Come here!" Xuan Shijing called out towards the outside.

"My little one is here, what is the master's order?" The servant in the yard hurriedly came to Xuan Shijing's side.

"Let Gao Jun and Chang Le come to the house and prepare the carriage and food by the way. I want to go out." Xuan Shijing ordered: "Do it quickly."

"Yes." The servant replied
In about a quarter of an hour, Gao Jun and Chang Le came to the Xuan family's mansion, and Xuan Shijing also hurriedly finished breakfast in the front hall.

"Husband is in such a hurry, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Xuan Shijing even Gao Jun and Chang Le were here, Jin Yang couldn't help being curious and asked.

"Go out and walk around." Xuan Shijing said, "Go to the bank of the Yellow River and have a look."

"How long will my husband be going? I can arrange one or two for my husband." Jin Yang said.

"I don't know yet, let's talk about it after looking at it. There is nothing to arrange in our village. After the rain has passed, the water will almost flow. Let's quickly organize craftsmen and farmers to clean up the canal." Repair it, clean up what needs to be cleaned, widen what should be widened, dig what should be dug, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise it will be even more troublesome in the future." Xuan Shijing put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said.

Hearing this, Jin Yang nodded.

"Okay, this concubine will definitely keep it in mind. It's just such a big job, and our family's expenditure is not a small amount." You said hello."

"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want. It's a good thing to spend some money to bring Zhuangzi to peace, otherwise the money will rust if you throw it in the warehouse, right?" Xuan Shijing said: "Just give it to the descendants of our family." Good deeds have been done.”

"En." Jin Yang nodded in response.

In fact, the money is nothing to the Xuan family, but Xuan Shijing is the head of the family, and Jin Yang is the head of the house, and the large sums of money in and out of the family still need to be communicated by the two of them. Otherwise, such a big family, with dozens of people up and down, does not tell the head of everything, so what kind of head is this?

"Okay, then I'll go first. If it's quick, I'll probably be back before our village builds the canal." Xuan Shijing said.

"Well, Husband, don't worry." Jin Yang said: "Everything at home, I can take care of it."

After meeting with the family members, Xuan Shijing took Gao Jun and Chang Le and left Zhuangzi in a carriage. As for where they were going, now only Jinyang knew.

This is true on the surface, but in fact, behind the scenes, Xuan Shijing's actions on the Zhuangzi are also watched by pairs of eyes. Just as Xuan Shijing left the Zhuangzi, the news will be sent back to Chang'an City .

The current Xuan Shijing is in a vortex, and now he has left, what's going on?
However, Xuan Shijing didn't take the ups and downs of Chang'an City seriously, and chose this juncture to leave Zhuangzi.

"Grandpa, where are we going?" Chang Le sat on the frame and asked into the carriage.

"Yellow River." Xuan Shijing said: "Go to the village on the bank of the Yellow River and take a look."

Both Gao Jun and Chang Le couldn't figure it out, what was his father-in-law going to do, and what was there to see in those small villages?When I went back to Chang'an from outside, I used the Yellow River waterway many times. Haven't I seen enough?Why do you want to go to see it again today?
From Zhuangzi to the edge of the Yellow River, it is not far away, but if it is close, it takes a day or two to travel in a horse-drawn carriage, not to mention that after the heavy rain, even if it is an official road, it is not far away. easy to go.

Therefore, the three of Xuan Shijing set off from Zhuangzi to those county towns and villages on the bank of the Yellow River, and walked for three days, and this was also because Xuan Shijing was not in a hurry at all.

Anyway, I just went to have a look, and I'm not doing big things, so what are you in a hurry for?
After arriving at the bank of the Yellow River, Xuan Shijing visited several households with a straight face, and found out about the woodcutters in the village who went up the mountain to cut firewood, or the hunters who went hunting in the mountains, or the old people in the village.

Gao Jun and Chang Le have been following Xuan Shijing. Up to now, they haven't figured out what their father-in-law is here for.

Originally, they thought that their father-in-law came to take a boat on the Yellow River to see the scenery.

"Master, wasn't it like this ten years ago?" Xuan Shijing sat under the old tree at the entrance of the village and chatted with an old farmer.

"Ten years ago, how could it be the same as it is now." The old man grinned, showing a mouthful of ragged old yellow teeth: "Ten years ago, the land with a radius of tens of miles, as well as the hills, were all lush green. You see, it’s sparse now, and the young seedlings under the roots of those old trees are only as tall as a person.”

"After that person left, no one went up the mountain to replant it?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Who cares about this? Those old men in the government are free? Besides, there are still some old ones on the mountain. After a few decades, won't they grow back again? In our village, we go up the mountain to collect firewood. I don’t even want to cut down those saplings, if we cut them all down now, what will our children and grandchildren use to cook?”

"What the uncle said is true." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Young man, I see that what you are wearing doesn't look like an ordinary family. The family should have a good fortune, right? Are you a merchant?" the old farmer asked.

"Well, do some business at home." Xuan Shijing responded.

"Come to Chang'an to do timber business?" the old farmer asked again.

"Master, how do you know?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile.

"A young man like you, with money in his pocket, will talk about this with the old man when he has nothing to do?" The old farmer showed a little pride on his face, and smiled while talking.

"Then old man, look, can my business be successful?" Xuan Shijing asked.

The old farmer shook his head: "That's enough. If it was a few years ago, it would be successful, not only successful, but also make a fortune, but it is not successful now."

"Why?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Later, the entire Tang Dynasty knows that in the early years, when the new palace was built on the Longshouyuan, the good materials of the entire Tang Dynasty were closely used by Chang'an. At that time, it must be profitable to do business here, and the court would not Lie to you, but now, you can also see that since the construction of the new palace on the Longshouyuan, plus the wood consumed by Chang'an City, the trees on this mountain have long been not as dense as before, and can no longer be cut down. "The old farmer said: "Businessmen like you should let this piece go."
