Chapter 28
When the children returned to Bailuyuan, Bailuyuan was also preparing to send someone to look for them.

The lords' tables were also taken away, and Shen Nanxun took a few brothers-in-law to the front yard to listen to the bamboo garden and continue to have tea and talk.

Probably all men in the world are the same, no matter how unfamiliar they are, no matter how far away they are, they can call each other brothers after a few glasses of sake.

Uncle Lang, who was originally polite and a little rusty, once filled with wine, Lu Sanlang even went to the northwest to help the Shen family sell horses.

Although it is not necessary to say deep friendship, in-laws are different. In-laws naturally form an interest group from the moment they get married.

This time they came to the capital with great fanfare for a reason, but how many layers of these reasons can be said depends on how much trust and ability they have with Shen Nanxun.

Lu Erlang went to the study to drink a cup of tea, and the first big news he dropped after suppressing his alcoholism was,
"If Jiulang ranks well, he will become an official."

Shen Nanxun took a few more sips of wine, and reacted slightly, "Grandpa understands?"

Lu Silang shook his head, "If you don't understand it, you have to understand it. So what if the Lu family didn't become an official, there is no reason to commit crimes, and it doesn't matter if the old students are everywhere. It has always been only icing on the cake."

Shen Nanxun nodded, this is true, there are very few people who give charcoal in the snow.

"Go to Xin Ge'er's house in the afternoon, he said you were reprimanded earlier?" Lu Silang continued.

Shen Nanxun nodded indifferently, "It's because I insist on going back to Beijing, and it's also considered that I haven't done my errands well."

"What is the charter now?"

"The salary was fined, and another person was sent."

The brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, saying that they were the only king of the opposite sex in this dynasty, but why did they look like wimps after all these years?

But the Shen family is not empty, not to mention, Shen Nanxun's grandfather, the old prince of the county is also a generation of heroes, Tubo has been subdued, and the Shen family is about to wake up, well, Shen Nanxun's father drowned. .

If a military general can't get on a horse, he is basically useless, ruining the road of a general.

The Shen family has been out of touch for several years, and they can't get up anymore.

Until Shen Nanxun grew up to sixteen, he was sent as a vanguard by the old county king. He led 1000 people alone, touched the rear of the Tutu, burned the camp, and won the first victory in his life.

I don't know if Shen Nanxun will be able to get up in the county palace now that he is in charge.

Thinking of this, Lu Erlang asked Shen Nanxun: "Da Lang has been back to Beijing for more than three years, and he has never received a serious job."

Shen Nanxun said indifferently: "Haiqingheyan, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is a good thing that the generals have no errands."

Lu Sanlang snorted coldly, "Hmph, what is Haiqing Heyan? I think only the singing and dancing in Kyoto can make peace."

"Please tell me in detail, brother." Shen Nanxun was very interested in this topic.

"Only the boats in the inner canal can be expected to come, and no one is doing business in the outer sea."

"Hasn't it been more than [-] years since I opened the sea?"

In the early years of Dayong, the sea was banned, and the southeast coastal areas could only go fishing secretly, and the people's livelihood was really poor. 30 years ago, when the late emperor was here, under the promotion of Jiangnan literati led by Lu Zhan, Dayong finally opened the sea.

It can be seen that Lu Sanlang is also somewhat dissatisfied with the imperial court.

"Going to sea in the early years was quite profitable, but no matter how lucrative the profits were, they couldn't stand the exploitation. In the past, it was just difficult to deal with. As long as the relationship can be established, some people are willing to go to sea. Now, as long as life can pass, no one is willing. Desperate."

Lu Sanlang is the eldest son of the Second Household, and he has been studying with the Second Grandpa Lu since he was a child.

"Two months earlier, the water bandits almost went ashore, so it doesn't matter if the sea doesn't come out." Lu Sanlang was heartbroken.

Shen Nanxun didn't quite understand, "Several harbor navy divisions add up to tens of thousands of people, how could they let the water bandits go ashore?"

"Hmph, Navy Master, they are more terrifying than water pirates. Whoever has a belly full of fat, even a springboard can't hold them up easily."

Lu Silang still remembered that his sister-in-law was also a general who led the army, "We also know that the army's money and salaries are insufficient, but it is not beautiful to exploit too much and disturb the people's livelihood."

That's true, not only people in the world value civility over martial arts, if there is no signal from the imperial court, how dare the world come here.

The imperial court pays tens of millions of dollars every year, and the balance is surplus every year, but the military pay is less than one-twelfth of it. Occasionally, there are casualties in battles, and it is only a few dollars to report to the imperial court to issue pensions.

In order to feed the sergeants, the general always has to raise his own money, summer and autumn are fine, and people will not starve to death, but spring and winter are hard, spring is green and yellow, and it is necessary to starve for a period of time, and winter is heavy snow, and it is inevitable to suffer some freezing .

Shen Nanxun was able to know Lu Balang because of this.

When the old prince of the county was still alive, Shen Nanxun and his brothers spent nearly half of each year not on Qinfeng Road but walking around, just to broaden their brothers' horizons and experience different customs.

Shen Erlang mostly walked in the north, from northwest to northeast. He walked the entire northern defense line back and forth many times.

But Shen Nanxun didn't. He knew that the first condition of Sergeant An was to have enough money and enough food and clothing. It would be great if there was still a surplus for the sergeant to support his parents.

Where there is a lot of money, it is naturally the affluent Jiangnan area. Where there is sufficient food and grass, it is still the land of fish and rice, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Road.

Shen Nanxun left Yongjun Road and went all the way south, passing Huainan [-]nd Road to Jiangnan [-]nd Road, and finally arrived at Liangzhe Road.

On Jiangnan East Road, Shen Nanxun met Lu Balang who was almost cheated when he went to Shexian County to ask for inkstone. So he invited Shen Nanxun to go with him.

Although Shen Nanxun was born in a family of military generals, he was also a person who was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child.The old prince Shen Zhanchuan also often mentioned Lu Zhan and Heming Academy. Since Shen Nanxun came to Liangzhe Road, he had to pay a visit.

In this way, the two people who did not reveal their true identities to each other, but called brothers and sisters for more than a month, traveled together to Piling together.

When they arrived at the foot of Heming Academy, the two said goodbye, one was going up the mountain to the academy, and the other was going to the city to go home.

Lu Zhan saw the greeting card brought by Shen Nanxun and brought Shen Nanxun back to the Lu Mansion in the city. Shen Nanxun and Lu Balang met each other in the mansion to know each other's identities.

However, Shen Nanxun's identity was not widely announced, only a few masters of the Lu family knew about it, and even Mr. Lang might not be clear about it.

Shen Nanxun stayed in Piling for more than half a year in the name of studying at Heming Academy, saw the flourishing style of writing on Liangzhe Road, and also saw the affluence and luxury of Huainan Jiangnan and Zhejiang Provinces.

Shops were set up on several roads to start a business. They also bought grain, detoured through the Huai River, detoured through Yingshui, and then took grain water and transported it along the Yellow River to Yongxingjun Road, so that the soldiers had a full winter and spring.

I brought back seeds from the land of fish and rice to teach the soldiers to farm and grow food, and also learned business from the rich land through the mutual market in border cities.

The sergeant ensured the smooth and safe progress of the mutual market in the border town, and the merchants participating in the mutual market had to withdraw [-]% of the copper coins and hand it over to the sergeant.

 Make a card in the circle of friends and book friends in the book city, leave a message, it would be even better if you can get a five-star praise
