Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

When Liu Shu arrived in Shandong, a month had already passed. Another month later, as Zhang Rushi said, the emperor ordered the fourth prince to provide disaster relief.

But in fact, Shandong was already suffering from a severe drought at that time.

It just takes time for the news to reach the capital and for the civil and military officials in the court to discuss how to deal with the drought.

At this time, some people had already sold their children just to exchange for some food.

Many human traffickers roamed around the villages, taking advantage of the situation to rob people, and using a small amount of silver to buy many children and even young and strong people.

The price of grain was rising every day, and the money people earned from selling their children could not buy much grain.

But they sell their children not only for themselves, but also to give their children a chance to survive.

Although they were sold and could only be slaves in the future, at least they had food to eat and could survive instead of starving to death.

Liu Shu sent people to these villages to exchange food for people.

Food is much more popular than money, and the people are more willing to hand their children over to Liu Shu's men.

For one shipload of food, Liu Shu exchanged thousands of people.

Xun You also ordered people to send two ships of food from Jiangnan, and Liu Shu used them to exchange for more than three thousand people.

Liu Shu sent these people away before the people in the court could react.

On the surface, they were pretending to be disaster victims fleeing.

People just followed the crowd, and many victims saw those people fleeing and followed them.

They walked into the trap themselves, and Liu Shu accepted it with a smile.

The number of disaster victims and the people he bought back exceeded 10,000.

The valley is no longer habitable.

However, Liu Shu had his eyes on more than one base, so he divided his people into three groups and established three bases.

The disaster relief workers from the imperial court finally arrived, and it was indeed the Fourth Prince.

However, Zhang Rushi, who had lost her memory, was unable to provide food to the Fourth Prince.

The grain was happily accepted by Liushan and also transported to Shandong.

Having benefited from Zhang Rushi, Liu Shan believes that he is not a conscienceless person and should be grateful to Zhang Rushi.

If Zhang Rushi doesn't want to marry into her previous life's in-laws' family, then help her find another one.

Liu Shan gave the task to the spy who infiltrated the Shangshu Mansion.

The spy became the Shangshu's wife's confidant and gave her advice to marry Zhang Rushi to a Jinshi from a poor family.

Without the wealthy life of her previous life, Zhang Rushi had to work hard if she wanted to live a good life.

Not long after Zhang Rushi got married, the Minister of Personnel made an engagement with Zhang Rushi's in-laws from her previous life.

This time, the woman on the engagement was replaced by someone else.

He is the one who has the worst relationship with Zhang Rushi and bullies her most often.

The spy's move was to help Zhang Rushi get revenge.

The fourth prince came to Shandong and found that although the drought was severe, the disaster was not that serious, and he was very confused.

He felt something was amiss and asked someone to investigate.

Among those who came to investigate were people from the Eastern Depot, and they are now loyal to Liushan.

As they destroyed the evidence and used various inducements, the Fourth Prince's people did not find out the truth, but only found some specious information.

In the end, the Fourth Prince's men gave up the investigation.

By the time the Fourth Prince completed his disaster relief work and returned to the capital, it was already the end of the year.

Liu Shu also returned to Beijing from "Jiangnan".

Liu Shu brought a lot of Jiangnan specialties to the emperor. The emperor was very happy and rewarded Liu Shu with many things.

But they are all flashy things.

Liu Shu also sent local specialties to the border town, and naturally received a return gift from Lord Zhenyuan.

Along with the return gift, there was also the activity funds for the next year that Zhenyuan Gong gave to Liushan.

It was still 100,000 taels of silver, which shows how generous Lord Zhenyuan was. The main reason was that Xun You wrote a letter to Lord Zhenyuan, which not only showed Liu Shan's achievements in the past year, but also revealed how difficult it was for Liu Shan to achieve these achievements.

After reading the whole letter, Duke Zhenyuan saw how difficult Liu Shan's life was and how filial he was to his biological father. For the sake of his father's mission, he would complete it no matter how hard or difficult it was.

Duke Zhenyuan did not doubt Xun You's words.

He knew that Xun You was a smart man who could judge the situation.

It was impossible for Xun You to abandon such a strong supporter and run to be loyal to his son. Therefore, Duke Zhenyuan never doubted the letter sent by Xun You.

Liu Shan and Xun You were in a very good mood as they had managed to cheat another sum of money from Lord Zhenyuan.

Liu Shan gave Xun You one thousand taels of silver.

Xun You accepted it readily.

"Brother, are you ready? It's time to go."

Liu Shu called him outside Liu Shan's door.

Liushan opened the door and walked out.

He and Liu Shu looked at each other, and both praised each other's appearance in their hearts.

Both of them were wearing brand new red brocade robes and white jade crowns, looking handsome and noble.

They were going to attend a dinner at the palace, so they dressed up.

The two of them were good-looking, and they looked even better when dressed up like this. The maids in the mansion all looked at them secretly with red faces.

However, these maids were only allowed to watch, as they knew the personalities of their two masters very well and would not have the idea of ​​climbing into bed with them.

There was such a maid in the past who wanted to seduce Liu Shan by relying on her good looks.

The result was that he was kicked away by Liu Shan, and then dragged out of the house by the servants.

Liu Shan's kick was not strong enough to cause serious injury to the man, but being thrown out of the house was a very severe punishment.

If she wants to get married in the future, no good family will choose her.

The maids in the mansion took this as a warning. Although everyone admired the two young masters, no one dared to express it, let alone climb into their beds.

Liu Shu and Liu Shan left the house and got on the carriage.

It was snowing and it was too cold to ride a horse, so it was more comfortable to ride in a carriage.

Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the palace. The two men got off the carriage and walked into the palace gate.

At the palace gate, Liu Shan saw a familiar face.

Liu Shan: "Are you responsible for guarding the palace today?"

Qian Jingjiang lowered his head slightly and replied, "I'm filling in for Chu Xing."

Liu Shan nodded, without asking any more questions, and walked straight into the palace with her brother, passing Qian Jingjiang.

Although Qian Jingjiang was the deputy director of the East Factory and was considered powerful by others, he was still a dog in front of the emperor.

If you are a dog, you should guard the house.

Compared with the palace guards, the emperor trusted eunuchs like Qian Jingjiang more.

Liu Shu took a step to catch up with Liu Shan. He felt the gaze from behind him, which was obscure but very hot.

Liu Shu couldn't help but look back and met a pair of wolf-like eyes.

The eyes immediately dropped and focused their gaze.

But Liu Shu was surprised to see a hint of emotion leaking out.

Liu Shu couldn't help but blink.

The palace is not a place to talk, so Liu Shu hid his doubts in his heart and waited for an opportunity to ask again.

The two men went to see the emperor first. The emperor chatted with them for a while. He didn't look like a king at all, but just an elder in the family who cared about the younger generation.

If it were in the past, the two of them would definitely be very moved and deceived by the emperor's disguise.

But now, both of them only had sneers in their hearts.

On the surface, both of them are good kids who are full of respect for their elders. (End of this chapter)
