However, it was said that Li Luan'er and Yan Chengyue went to live in Zhuangzi outside the city for a few days, and when the two watched the villagers plant sweet potatoes and corn and return to the capital, they heard a lot of things.

After Li Fu and Pei Sanniang made a family affair, Yang Yuanqing and Li Mei's family affair was also booked, for Yang Yuanqing's family affair, the Yang family's parents also came to the capital once, and Yang's mother went to the Li family as a guest to see Li Mei.

Speaking of which, this Yang family is also a very interesting family, the ancestors of the Yang family are farmers, because of their steadfastness and shrewdness, they slowly started their family, until Yang Yuanqing's generation, the Yang family can be regarded as a famous rich family in ten miles and eight townships, rich is rich, but the Yang family somehow, whether it is a son or a daughter, is very strong, the appearance is secondary, the key is that the figure is indeed flattering, the Yang family now wants to ask the family boy to marry the good-looking little lady, Only this long, good-looking, and quite good family background, where to find?

In addition, what is more interesting is that the children of the Yang family do not care about it, they are all those who are equally long and stout and down-to-earth, the daughters-in-law of the Yang family are tall and strong, and the son-in-law is also a rough man, this Yang father and Yang mother came to the capital before thinking that Yang Yuanqing said in the letter that the Li family was originally a Zhuang family, and the little lady of the Li family is also a capable person, so I feel that this little lady of the Li family must be a stout like the other daughters-in-law of the Yang family.

When she arrived in the capital, Yang's mother packed up and brought gifts to visit Li's house, she thought that what she saw was definitely a strong woman, where did she know that Li Mei was beautiful, slender, and did not look like a village girl at all, but better than the ladies of the eunuchs she had seen.

Yang Yuanqing had never seen Li Mei before, and when he heard his mother say how good Li Mei was, he wanted to see him, but the Li family is now tightly protected, where can he see it, so he is even more anxious to get married as soon as possible.

In addition to these two cases, there is another strange matter, that is, the little lady of the Wang family and Li Hongzhi made a family affair.

Li Luan'er was drinking tea when she heard this, and when she heard this, she didn't squirt out tea, and coughed for a while before exclaiming, "What's going on?" How did the two of them end up together? ”

Yan Chengyue was the old god, and smiled: "It's a good thing that the two of them go together, and they will harm others again." ”

Li Luan'er instantly understood, I can't say that Yan Chengyue still intervened in the middle, Yan Chengyue knew that Li Hongzhi was a person, and he was deeply annoyed that he was unbearable, and he was annoyed that he cheated on the Li family, plus Yan Chengyue was also angry about Wang Huiniang's entanglement, maybe he really wanted to make these two people together.

It's just that Li Luan'er sighed: "I'm afraid there will be another pair of resentful couples in the world." ”

Yan Chengyue waved his hand: "I can't say that they can be regarded as having their own place, this Li Hongzhi wants money and power, the little lady of the Wang family loves beauty, one of them is colorful, the other is rich, and it can be said that they are a match made in heaven." ”

Li Luan'er shook her head: "But this Li Hongzhi has a daughter-in-law in his family, how can he stop his wife and marry again, if his wife is found, Wang Huiniang's reputation will be ruined." ”

"That's their own choice, and now they are begging for kindness, and they can take care of what they are doing." Yan Chengyue smiled and took Li Luan'er's hand: "What kind of heart are you for them, besides, we can find out about the affairs of the Li family, this Wang family's business is all over the place, I can't say that it has already been found out, maybe they think that Sun Niangzi is not a threat, so they set up a family affair." ”

Li Luan'er thought about it, so she put the matter behind her.

In this way, the time passed in a hurry, the spring and summer solstice, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Emperor Deqing was bent on opening the sea ban, ordered people to fight a few big sea ships in Quanzhou, the ship was launched, the navy of Zhujiang was also successfully formed, and when the troops were trained, they swept away many coastal pirate nests, and obtained countless silver money, so that Emperor Deqing would borrow the silver of the household department and repay the remaining many, and the remaining silver Emperor Deqing was used to make guns and cannons to change the equipment of the navy.

In addition to this, Quanzhou and other large customs also opened, the court and major merchants have formed a fleet to go to sea, a few months of effort, Emperor Deqing will be in the palace and the weaving workshop backlog of the old silk and some official kiln firing unsatisfactory porcelain all moved to the sea ship to sell.

Because of the royal reputation, and although the things are old, but in the end they are still good things, where have people from the West and the East seen it, and they have been robbed crazy for a while, and the hard work of these months has brought a lot of money to Emperor Deqing, and Emperor Deqing only said that he could get more than 2 million silver, but Li Luan'er counted the accounts but not only that, except for the silver obtained from selling things, Emperor Deqing actually got a lot of silver from the Wa Kingdom, and these silver can be regarded as income.

It's just that Li Luan'er can calculate this account, but the officials of the DPRK and China can't understand it, and they only think that they will get more than 2 million taels of silver, which is the case, which also surprised those officials, so that the maritime affairs can be regarded as a vigorous development.

Li Luan'er also saw the benefits of going to sea, so she also took a lot of silver to participate in the shares, although the income in the past few months is not large, but it is not bad, but it is also a surprise.

In the middle of autumn, Li Fu got married, and the third mother of the Pei family brought a rich dowry, and the marriage of the Li family was also very lively, which made many people envious.

Pei Sanniang did not have the slightest shelf of a lady when she arrived at the Li family, she served Aunt Weng very responsibly, she was also gentle and kind to Li Fu, and her family management was also rigorous, which was praised by the Li family.

It won't take long for Li Fu to marry him, and it will be the day when Li Mei gets married, and Pei Sanniang's dowry for Li Mei is also very good, although the Yang family is a Zhuang family, it is very real, plus Yang's father and Yang's mother only got Yang Yuanqing's son, so he thought that Zuo's family wealth was his, and the financial gifts to the Li family were also very rich, which could be regarded as earning enough face for Li Mei.

In order to marry, the Yang family bought a house for Yang Yuanqing in the capital, and the house that Xiao Erjin entered, although it is not big, is also very exquisite, and the small couple lives in it is also very spacious, and Yang's father and Yang's mother settled in the new house and waited for their son to get married.

At this time, it is also time for the autumn harvest, and the sweet potatoes and corn planted by Li Luaner and Yan Chengyue on the Zhuangzi outside the city should also be harvested.

After the two of them participated in the marriage, they went to Zhuangzi, and the two of them went over and saw Zhuangtou greeting him outside, Yan Chengyue jumped out of the carriage and asked, "Can you harvest sweet potatoes?" ”

Zhuang Tou was sweating, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden: "Uncle, the sweet potatoes have been harvested, and the corn is being harvested, this sweet potato is really a good yield." ”

"How many catties can an acre of land produce?" Li Luan'er hurriedly asked, her face was full of urgency, she was thinking in her heart that in modern times, sweet potatoes had that good variety, and there were 10,000 catties of land per mu, but there was no such large yield in ancient times, but there should be thousands of catties.

Zhuang Tou smiled, and he didn't care about wiping his sweat: "If you go back to the grandmother, this small yield is never daring to think, because of the good serving, this acre of land has about 2,000 catties." ”

"So tall?" Yan Chengyue was taken aback: "How can it be so high?" ”

"The farmers all said that it was a good seed that the uncle found, and the small ones also thought that it was, and this should be the best picked out by others." Zhuangtou replied wholeheartedly, and slowly entered Zhuangzi behind Yan Chengyue.

Yan Chengyue didn't understand, but Li Luan'er understood, she tugged on Yan Chengyue's sleeve: "Xianggong, what Zhuangtou said is very true, you don't know if you haven't planted the land, but I know these very well, every year the Zhuang family will pick out the good grain and keep the seeds, so that the grain is getting better and better, and the grain will be planted with a high yield. ”

At this time, Yan Chengyue understood what Yang Yuanqing said about how good he could farm, where is this farming, this is almost going to be Shennong, for a while, he was overjoyed, with this high-yield grain, the people are afraid that they will not be hungry in the future.

Li Luan'er was also very happy, and asked Zhuang Tou repeatedly: "The corn is ready to be harvested, and this yield is ......."

Zhuang Tou wiped a handful of sweat: "It's being collected, the uncle and grandmother should rest for a while, and the small one will go over and take a look, and the output will be known in a while." ”

Yan Chengyue waved his hand: "You don't have to rest, you lead the way, let's go over and take a look." ”

Li Luan'er also smiled: "I can't sit still after all, it's better to go over and take a look." ”

Zhuang Tou hurriedly led the way, after a while of kung fu three people arrived on the ground, Li Luan'er looked around, then saw a field full of green, saw the familiar corn stalks, Li Luan'er only felt that the eyes were hot, the nose was sour and almost cried, in order to hide her heartache, she walked quickly to the ground to find a tender corn and broke it down, peeled off her coat and pinched it and smiled: "This corn is tender, let's cook it when we go back." ”

Yan Chengyue thought that Li Luan'er had eaten corn before, so he nodded in agreement, and followed Li Luan'er to break some tender corn and pile it in one place to wait for it to be brought back and boiled.

The two of them saw that more than a dozen farmers were harvesting corn, and Li Luan'er hurriedly confessed: "This corn is broken down and dried, and the pole is cut down and thrown away, this thing is a good feed for livestock, and anyone in the village who has cattle and horses can feed it, if there is any leftover, I will collect it and I will call someone to marry, and the family has also fed several cattle and horses, and it is just right to use this." ”

Zhuang Tou quickly wrote it down, Li Luan'er remembered something, she remembered that she had been to the countryside with her grandfather when she was a child, and when she went it was also the time of the corn harvest, many children cut the corn stalk and bit it to eat, she also ate some, but it was very sweet, and now I think about it like a thousand years apart, that is, I will see it today, and it is inevitable to eat it again.

In this way, Li Luan'er found the green pole and broke off the skin, and took a few bites like gnawing on sugar cane, and her mouth was instantly full of sweetness, and she motioned to Yan Chengyue: "This pole is not bad, you can also taste it." ”

The two bit the corn stalk and waited on the ground, and after about half an hour, the farmers harvested the corn of three acres of land, stripped off their coats and put them on the scales and weighed them. R1152
