"Brother seems to value that red stone very much." Cai Yan looked at Yuan Shu curiously. "Yan'er is indeed very observant." Yuan Shu said with a smile. After a pause, Yuan Shu asked: "Yan'er! What do you think would be the effect of carving those red stones into a seal?" Bloodstone was known as the Queen of Seals in later generations, so it is perfect for use as a seal. Cai Yan suddenly realized it and said, "I thought the eldest brother was going to carve it into a ornament, but it turned out to be a seal!" "Haha!" Yuan Shu smiled and shook his head, saying, "The red stones are big or small. I don't care about the big ones. It's not worth much if it's a small sculpture. But it's a seal, and it should be liked by many people. After all, the eldest brother is from a wealthy family. Don't you want to be so philistine and make people laugh? Her business was spread all over the country, and her wealth was enough to rival other countries. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu was still not satisfied. He accompanied her shopping while thinking about business. Cai Yan felt slightly dissatisfied and glanced at Yuan Shu with contempt. Yuan Shu smiled slightly, leaned close to Cai Yan's ear, and whispered: "If I don't want to make money, how can I afford to support my three lovely wives at home?" "Sigh!" Cai Yan looked at Yuan Shu angrily with a slightly red face. "Hehe!" Yuan Shu didn't care, with a wicked smile on his face. After a while of fussing, Yuan Shu returned to the topic and asked Cai Yan again. Cai Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Red shows happiness, and its meaning is very good. It is indeed good." "Yes!" Yuan Shu nodded slightly, touched his chin, and whispered: "But now is not the time." "The elder brother said What?" Cai Yan didn't hear clearly. Yuan Shu looked at Cai Yan with a smile and said, "The time has not come yet!" Cai Yan looked confused and looked at Yuan Shu in confusion. Yuan Shu smiled and did not explain that he would not launch the chicken-blood stone seal until another thing was born. After a trip and finding a new way to make money, Yuan Shu was in a good mood. He went shopping with Cai Yan for a while and bought a lot of large and small bags. In the end, Yuan Shu had to order Dian Wei to find two people, and then he bought the things. Move back home. Back home, Cai Yan went to find Zou Jia and Diao Chan with gifts. Yuan Shu ordered people to summon Yuan Feng to discuss matters. "Old slave, I have met the master." Yuan Feng bowed and said. "Uncle Feng! How many times have I told you, there is no need to be so polite." Yuan Shu said helplessly. "The etiquette cannot be abolished." Yuan Feng was extremely persistent. Yuan Shu couldn't resist, so he had to let him go. At that moment, Yuan Shu took out the chicken-blood stone ornament he bought from the previous store and asked Yuan Feng, "Uncle Feng! Have you ever seen such a stone?" With that, he handed over the chicken-blood stone. Yuan Feng took it, looked at it carefully for a while, and replied: "This seems to be the red stone from Jiangdong." "Uncle Feng has seen it?" Yuan Shu was shocked and looked at Yuan Feng expectantly. Yuan Feng nodded slightly and said: "There are many such stones in the countryside of Yuhang." "That's right!" Yuan Shu was not sure about the specific location of Changhua. He only remembered that it was around Hangzhou, and at this time Hangzhou was Yuhang. . Immediately, Yuan Shu ordered Yuan Feng to use his family's strength to go to Jiangdong to mine chicken blood stone. Yuan Feng responded. Just when Yuan Shu was about to let him go, Yuan Feng suddenly said: "The master of the family values ????the old slave. He has two important responsibilities. However, he is old and weak and feels that he is not capable of doing what he wants. I hope the master of the family can find someone else to share the burden." Yuan Shu was stunned. After coming back to his senses, he took a deep look at Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng was originally the chief steward of the Yuan family. After Yuan Shu's reform, he also served as the Minister of Finance. He had a pivotal position both internally and externally. "Uncle Feng, don't worry, I am by no means a person who can only hide his bow." Yuan Shu said seriously. Yuan Feng shook his head and said: "This is not what I meant. The old slave has seen all the methods used by the family master over the years. If we want to completely separate the inside and outside, we need to start from our own family." Yuan Shu looked at the old man in surprise. The housekeeper felt horrified in his heart. "Jiang Huan is indeed still old! These old guys have extraordinary eyesight." Yuan Shu thought to himself. After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shu nodded and said: "There are no candidates at the moment. Uncle Feng will have to suffer for a while, and I will make arrangements in the future." "The master of the family just has an idea." A smile appeared on Yuan Feng's wrinkled old face. Afterwards, Yuan Feng said goodbye and left, leaving only Yuan Shu sitting in the hall. "Separating the inside and outside is not easy!" Shaking his head, Yuan Shu stopped thinking about it and stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard. ¡¡ For several days, Yuan Shu did not come out to see him., Gu Yong, Xun You and others had some complaints about staying at home and enjoying themselves all day long. "My lord, you won't be addicted to the boudoir, right?" everyone guessed. After some secret discussion, it was decided that Gu Yong would go out and test it out. Gu Yong came to Yuan Shu's home by reporting on the water conservancy of the Huaihe River and the Dajiang River. In the lobby, Gu Yongxiang reported to Yuan Shu while observing his expression. "So, the diversion of the Huaihe River has been completed?" Yuan Shu asked after Gu Yong finished speaking. "Exactly! The longest waterway starts from Shouchun, flows through Hefei, and finally flows into Chaohu Lake." After seeing Yuan Shu's performance, Gu Yong felt a little more at ease. "Very good!" Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction and said: "With the opening of the waterway, the connection between Huainan and Jiangdong will be closer, and the exchange of goods will be much more convenient. We can already foresee the prosperity in the future!" Paused After a pause, he then said: "The Huaihe River is over, but the river has not yet been resolved. You can't wait any longer." Upon hearing this, Gu Yong was completely relieved. Yuan Shu's ambitions remained the same, and their suspicions were self-confirmed. "Don't worry, my lord! My subordinates will arrange everything properly." Suddenly, I heard Yuan Shu say: "The climate in the south is hot and the rainy season is long. Both wells and rivers need to be repaired. Otherwise, there will be heavy losses when disaster strikes." After that, Yuan Shu's eyes flashed. He remembered that large-scale droughts and floods occurred in Jiangdong, Jingzhou and even Jiaozhou in history, and the disasters were quite serious. He could not remember exactly when. But it¡¯s always good to nip things in the bud. Gu Yong had no doubts. Although the weather in the south has been smooth in recent years, there are unforeseen circumstances. Who knows what will happen in the future. If you make more preparations, you can avoid suffering in the future. Afterwards, the two discussed other things. It was getting late, Gu Yong stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Gu Yong said cryptically: "My lord has rested for many days, it's time to come out and take care of things." Yuan Shu was stunned and said: "All the important military and political tasks have been assigned, you can just deal with it yourself. Is there something important that cannot be done? Choice?" Gu Yong waved his hands repeatedly and said anxiously: "This is not what I meant!" He glanced at Yuan Shu cautiously and said in a low voice: "It's just that the master has been obsessed with it all day" Yuan Shu smiled slightly, and he finally understood. That¡¯s the purpose of Yong¡¯s visit today. "Yuan Tan! If my descendants are mediocre and incompetent, how will you deal with yourself?" Yuan Shu asked. "Ah?" Gu Yong looked at Yuan Shu in surprise, feeling a little confused and wondering why he suddenly asked this question. After pondering for a moment, Gu Yongna said: "My lord is wise and powerful, and his descendants should" Yuan Shu waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said meaningfully: "The late emperor was indeed wise and powerful, and inherited the talents of the great ancestor and Emperor Wu." Gu Yong was speechless. , even a fool can tell that what Yuan Shu said is ironic. Emperor Ling inherited the talents of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wu? If so, where did the Yellow Turban come from? Where did the rebellion in Xiliang and Youzhou come from? "Haha!" Yuan Shu smiled, patted Gu Yong's shoulder, and said, "Pass my words to everyone." After saying that, Yuan Shu strode out. By the time Gu Yong came back to his senses, Yuan Shu had already gone away. Looking at Yuan Shu's back from a distance, Gu Yong's face was filled with uncertainty. After a long time, Gu Yong sighed, stood up and left. PS: Put up the code and give me some support!
