Chapter 212
Shen Nanxun watched coldly from the crowd, one of the followers wanted to go forward to argue, but was held back by Shou Kang.

"Don't make trouble outside, listen to the master."

In the end, Shen Nanxun still didn't care, there are too many poor people in the world, what he wants to care about is not one or two, "Give him some money quietly."

He can manage it for a while, but for the rest of his life, he still doesn't know how he should manage it.

Seeing Mr. Liu, the magistrate, Shen Nanxun first sent a greeting card and talked about the main purpose of coming here this time.

Lord Liu read the greeting post over and over again, but he still told Shen Nanxun to keep three points for three points, and Shen Nanxun had to guess the remaining three points.

"The harvest in Chengdu Mansion is better than that of the other three roads in the fourth road, but it's only a little bit. I really can't give much to the prince."

"There is a fixed number of taxes every year, and a fixed number of harvests, and some are left to guard against the failure of the harvest. If the prince has any good ideas, the villain can help the prince, but if you just want it, forgive the villain for his incompetence. Really can't get it out."

This is indeed the case at the moment, and Shen Nanxun is also a person in charge of the government.

"There is one thing I would like to discuss with Master Liu, why the harvest in Chengdu is nearly [-]% higher than that in other three continents."

"Yomo, the weather in Chengdu is good, so there are few bad years."

Shen Nanxun frowned, these words are used to deceive ghosts, rare years of famine are true, but the weather may not be smooth, there are many mountain torrents in Chengdu.

"Master Liu is a little out of touch now."

Master Liu stood up and walked to Yu Tu to stand still, and Shen Nanxun also walked over.

"Look here, the Feisha Canal has been built at the junction of the two mountains. If your son has time, I can accompany you to see it."

"Since Mr. Liu said it, I must find out."

The two stood silently in front of the map, and Shen Nanxun looked at the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road again. The mountains in Chengdu were more and higher than the other three roads, which also made the river here have a larger drop and more turbulent water flow. Fast-moving rivers are prone to flooding during the summer and autumn wet seasons.

Moreover, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Although there are no mountains in the north, the terrain is higher.

In such a terrain, once the flood floods back, it will be difficult to discharge the flood.

But in all these years, Shen Nanxun has never heard of severe floods on Chengdu Fu Road. Although there are flash floods from time to time, the affected area and the consequences are all small-scale.

The place Mr. Liu pointed out is not far from the Fucheng, just at the foot of the mountain. I have only seen ditches and canals being built in gentle areas to drain and discharge floodwaters. Shen Nanxun has never heard of building canals at the foot of the mountain.

As far as Shen Nanxun knew, including what he saw along the way, the surrounding mountains were mostly stone mountains, and the stone mountains could not be dug even if they were dug. How to build a canal here.

For all these reasons, Shen Nanxun's appetite was really whetted, and he was very curious about the Feisha Canal in Liu Da's mouth.

Mr. Liu is not a sociable person, just because he has been in Chengdu mansion without moving his nest, he can guess a thing or two, he is not a person who flatters the rich and powerful.

After all, Shen Nanxun also had a title on him, and he came from the capital.

Mr. Liu did not specially prepare the noodles for Xishi, but only prepared three more dishes than his usual serving.

"The son suddenly came to the humble house, and the officials were terrified. Wherever he didn't go, he still looked at Haihan."

This man spoke of fear, but Shen Nanxun looked at him without any fear, and he was probably still cursing him for coming uninvited.

"Master Liu is being polite, it was someone who was abrupt."

Of course, Shen Nanxun is the same, he said it abruptly, but he didn't apologize at all, he just sat down and ate it unceremoniously. He didn't eat any hot food on the road these two days, Shen Nanxun really wanted to eat something hot Soup and rice.

Master Liu didn't expect Shen Nanxun to be his heir, he didn't pay attention at all, and he didn't even sit down politely, he would eat as soon as he sat down.

Originally, there were not many dishes prepared, and Shen Nanxun ate quickly.

When Master Liu saw this, he still had no intention of slandering him, for he was afraid that if he slowed down a bit, he wouldn't have any leftovers to eat.

After dinner, Shen Nanxun drank two cups of hot tea, looked at the map for a while, and then talked about what he saw in the market in the afternoon.

"What is the origin of this Li family, that they call themselves Wang Fa?" Shen Nanxun asked.

"The Li family has occupied Chengdu Fulu for generations, and half of the Shu brocade is in the hands of the Li family, specializing in the business of dignitaries."

"So the Li family bought the power with money? I don't know Mr. Liu..."

"Your Majesty speaks carefully, a certain poverty has reached this point, and I have a clear conscience." Master Liu said.

"Then there was so much noise in the street, why didn't any officials intervene?"

"Chengdu Fu Road is located in the border area, with a large population, but it is not very civilized. The management of officials also pays attention to the fact that people do not raise officials and do not investigate. Such things, if the people do not report, the government will take care of them. It is just making noise on the street."

"Why doesn't Master Liu educate the people?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever seen a beggar talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?" Mr. Liu asked back, "Someone has no power to do so."

Shen Nanxun didn't know why.

"My son came from the battlefield. Will you be courteous to the soldiers on the battlefield? It must be impossible. Survival is the most important thing."

"It's the same here. It's already very difficult for the people to have food and clothing. It takes a lot of effort to live and work in peace and contentment. The law doesn't seem so important."

"I'm not a talented official, I just want to rule the people from natural disasters, and continue to have food and clothing."

Shen Nanxun felt that he had been in the capital for too long, had listened to too many high-spirited talks, and forgot the hardships of the people at the bottom, and the fundamentals of being an official.

To be an official, what is an official, and what is an official?For the glory of the ancestors?To seal his wife and son?This is all right, but we must not forget, for the people of Liming.

Shen Nanxun bowed deeply, "You are a master."

Embarrassment rarely appeared on the face of the serious and upright Mr. Liu, "Your Majesty is overrated."

It was only then that Shen Nanxun realized that Master Liu's hands were too rough. Shen Nanxun could tell whether a martial artist was using a gun or a knife, but he couldn't tell what the calluses on Master Liu's hands were.

Master Liu also felt Shen Nanxun's gaze, shrunk his hands into his sleeves, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty is laughing."

Looking down again, I saw the red mud on the side of the writing. It didn't rain in the city, and the sticky mud couldn't stick to the red mud with grass. I'm afraid this person has gone out of the city.

"Master Liu is sympathetic, why come to laugh at it."

Master Liu became melancholy when he heard the words, "Xiaguan and Ziyan were also obsessed with calligraphy and painting when they were classmates. Now that they have come here, that little skill is all used to draw maps. Less writing with a pen, but more digging and plowing the fields."

Shen Nanxun didn't make a sound. He could understand Master Liu's loss, but he didn't feel regret. It can be seen that he only yearned for the past days, but he didn't regret the choice now.

"Mountain land is difficult to grow, and animals are not very useful. Some lands rely entirely on brute force, and the tools that can be used are limited. However, the officials have also modified two utensils passed down from the south of the Yangtze River. They are trying it. If they can It saves a lot of trouble when you use it.”

Master Liu's face changed from melancholy, but his spirits brightened.
