Chapter 357, Shangyuan Festival goes out to let off steam, and Beiping County has a new look for the New Year
After the Spring Festival until the 15th Shangyuan Festival, Situ Yan slept every day in addition to eating, and directly became a rice worm + foodie.
"Brother, it's the Lantern Festival, you won't lock me up at home anymore! I've grown naked these days, and my face is round! Situ Yan looked aggrieved, and she didn't know which one Situ Jin, Duanmu Xuan, and Li Sanlang were singing, and she was locked up at home since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, and she was not even allowed to go out to pay New Year's greetings.
"Yan'er has worked hard for a year, only to grow taller, not to grow meat, the wind in the border city is strong, but I am afraid that as soon as the yin wind blows, it will blow you away!" Situ Jin's face was unmoved, Duanmu Xuan was also worried about his sweetheart's body, although he was already very happy to be by his sweetheart's side, but today there was a lantern festival in the city, and he really wanted to take Situ Yan out for a walk. But the three of them discussed that they must raise Situ Yan to be fatter during the Chinese New Year, looking at her paper-thin body, the three big men felt that they were very useless.
"How can I be so vulnerable!" Situ Yan looked unimpressed, and looked at Li Sanlang for help. "Third brother, you know me best, if you keep it like this, I'm afraid I'll go crazy before I get fat!" Li Sanlang couldn't bear Situ Yan's pleading, turned his head to look at Situ Jin, and wanted to plead for his little sister.
Duanmu Xuan also looked at the future eldest brother, and Situ Jin also knew that he couldn't leave his little sister at home no matter what, "Okay, but you can't go out until dinner, and you must come back before curfew!" ”
"Oh yes!" Situ Yan screamed and jumped up, these days watching the snow wolf run out every day, she could only stay at home. I've been suffocating for a long time.
"However, you have to change into men's clothes before you can go out!" Situ Jin felt that it was safer for Xiaomei to go out in men's clothes, with her temperament. Maybe it's going to get some trouble.
"Okay, as long as you can go out, you can wear beggar's clothes!" Situ Yan left a sentence and ran back to his yard to change clothes.
"Jinlang, you see what Yan'er has been detained, it's not dark yet, so I ran back to change my clothes in a hurry! I see. If you continue to be detained like this, I'm afraid that you will get sick! "Gongsun Yu and Situ Yan have been together for a long time, and they feel more and more that she is simple and cute. Situ Yan is sincere to her relatives, and even she, a person who entered the mansion later, can empathize.
"How can you detain her anymore, after fifteen, the county government will open the court. There's a lot of work ahead. She can't worry about this house and outside the house! Situ didn't mean to say a word, but it attracted Gongsun Yu's eyes.
"Jin Lang, this is disgusted as a wife and can't run a house?"
"Yu'er, you know I didn't mean that! Yan'er likes to do business, and only when she arrived in Beiping, she put a lot of shops and courtyards, and the house is housekeeper by you, so that she can play around outside by her temperament, because her husband just said the wrong thing, please forgive me! Situ Jin really gave Gongsun Yu a salute. Newlyweds flirt here. Duanmu Xuan and Li Sanlang had already withdrawn at some point. The two entered the back garden, and the plum blossoms fell. The apricot blossoms have not yet bloomed, and it is the most depressed time of the year.
"Third brother, I don't know what you think about the discussion with Yan'er yesterday?" These days, Situ Yan was detained in the house and was not allowed to go out, but she had many war games with Duanmu Xuan and Li Sanlang, and even gave opinions on the means of governing the army, the planning of the military camp, and even the people's livelihood, which benefited the three of them a lot.
"I don't have Xiao Wu in my brain, but I also think that although what Xiao Wu said sounds close to mythology, it may not be impossible to realize. It's a pity that there is imperial power in charge, there are three outlines and five constants bound to each other, and there are idiots and people supporting each other, but I am afraid that what Xiao Wu thinks will only be on paper in the end! Li Sanlang also sighed, Situ Yan's method of governing the army sounds incredible, but it is beneficial to the country and the people, but unfortunately it cannot be realized.
"Yes, Yan'er often says that these thoughts of hers are from books, but although I am not very knowledgeable, I have also read poetry books since I was a child, but I have never read such books, but whenever I talk about this, Yan'er always talks about him left and right, and I don't know how many secrets she has in her heart?"
"Well, Xiao Wu often speaks amazingly, and even his thoughts are very different from me, but I believe that Xiao Wu will not harm me, no matter what she wants to do, I will fully support it, as long as she can be happy!" What Li Saburo can do is to make the person he likes happy, and he has nothing else to ask for.
"Third brother, life is only a few decades in the world, wouldn't it be a pity that you are so persistent and old without a companion!" If Li Sanlang doesn't marry for a day, Duanmu Xuan will be somewhat jealous in his heart.
"If I live for one day, I will guard Xiao Wu for one day, even if I can only watch from afar, and I will have no regrets!" Li Sanlang said these things in front of Duanmu Xuan to remind him that if he was sorry for his little sister one day, he would definitely not let him go.
The two men had their own thoughts, and watched the garden dry up, but they were afraid that all they thought about was the little woman.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Situ Yan went out of the house for the first time in the New Year, accompanied by Duanmu Xuan and Li Sanlang, and felt like a prisoner in prison who had been given the opportunity to be released on parole.
"Yan'er, this lantern is not as good as yours!" Duanmu Xuan looked at the lanterns in front of the paving and remembered the scene when he first met Situ Yan. Li Sanlang's mind was also full of memories of that time, thinking about the sweetly fried Lantern Festival, thinking about the lanterns made by himself, although he was tired every day at that time, it was the happiest time in his life.
"Although I said that I was good at it, I was just trying to make more entries at home, and to be honest, I didn't have the intention of appreciating the lanterns! On the contrary, it is more pleasant to walk around like this now! Situ Yan is not a person who often reminisces about the past, she likes to look forward to everything, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to live for a day.
The three of them stopped and looked, and from time to time they would buy some street food to make a tooth sacrifice, "Third brother, this chestnut is so sweet, you can taste it too!" Situ Yan handed the chestnuts she had just bought to Li Sanlang, and bought another pack to eat with Duanmu Xuan.
She understands Duanmu Xuan, a jealous man, if she doesn't accommodate him, maybe he will do something. Li Sanlang didn't care, the little sister was like this before. Only Duanmu Xuan was helping Situ Yan to pick chestnuts, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
The first month does not come out until after the Shangyuan Festival. The emperor immediately ordered the raid of the Jizhou Governor's Mansion. Jizhou Rashi didn't get a report beforehand, so he found nearly three boxes of "Fushou ointment" from the house. A collaborator was sentenced to the crime of the country, and the people of a government became death row prisoners overnight. And the civil and military officials in Jizhou are all soldiers. Those who had had many dealings with Rashi before were even more worried, and even those officials who secretly hid "Fushou Cream" burned down the inventory in the mansion overnight.
Liang Rengong's move was intended to kill chickens and police monkeys, and it really achieved initial results, after all, these ministers could not be killed, otherwise Jizhou would be chaotic, and the Turks would have a chance. In the end, it is the common people who suffer.
"Miss, the lord has passed the word, and he has no choice but to startle the snake. As for the newly appointed Jizhou Rashi who is the protégé of the lord, the young lady can rest assured! Chiyu bowed her head and spoke, although she is now Situ Yan's guard, she is still a member of the Guogong Mansion.
"Hmm. That's what I meant. It coincides with my father! "This matter is finally over, and Situ Yan still has a lot of things to do.
"Chiyu, you go and invite the eldest young master into the inner courtyard!" Situ Yan wants to govern Beiping County into a wealthy county within this year.
"Yan'er, my brother has something to discuss with you, I have read the books for my brother for these years, and then I know that I hate less when the book is used, and it seems that Yan'er has to help her brother plan more, but I'm afraid that you will be tired again!" Situ Jin looked guilty. But the people under him who do things can only talk on paper. It's not much use at all.
"Brother and I have something to be polite about. That's why I asked my brother to come into the inner courtyard to discuss! This is the spring and then half a month of land will be cultivated, is the time to plough and top dressing, the compost in the city has now been transported to the villages, each village per 100 acres of compost pit three, I yesterday and Chiyu to see, the villages have been dug out as required a year ago, plus the reservoir, and so on the dry period as soon as the ground can be planted! Situ Yan said as she handed the paper full of words in her hand to Situ Jin.
"Brother, as early as the Northwest, my brother should have noticed that the grain grown by our family was harvested earlier than other people's families for nearly a month!"
"Yes, at that time, I only thought that God opened his eyes, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's all Yan'er who did something!"
"Yes, I have experimented when I was in Lijia Village, so I know how to make the millet maturing early and have fewer insect pests, so I think that this year, the grain seeds in each village will be provided by the county government, and the grain seeds in the hands of the people will be collected and distributed by the county government!"
"This?" Situ Jin was a little hesitant, it wasn't that he couldn't believe Situ Yan, but the number was too large, and he didn't want his little sister to suffer.
"Brother is worried!"
"I'm just worried that your body will not be able to bear it, and it is not a small amount to get the grain seeds of the fields in a county!"
"I'm fine, it's fine! I had already started to prepare for these things before the Chinese New Year, and I bought some slaves in the spring, all of whom signed a death contract, and were managed by the dark night, I just moved my mouth, and I was not tired! ”
"Well, it's settled!"
"And!" Situ Yan wrote on the paper is not only these, "Now that there is a water source, the wasteland opened last autumn will be raised in autumn and winter, although it is not a low-grade field, but it is still possible to plant some Shu millet and horse beans, my brother ordered them to plant these two crops on the wasteland this spring, but they are not allowed to be kept privately, all of them are purchased by the county government, including bean stalks and Shu stalks, I also want them!" In addition, each village has to raise two pigs and ten chickens by the village head family, and let them figure out the feed by themselves! The eggs produced will be distributed among the people in the village, and the pork will be distributed before the year! The elder brother gave some subsidies at the end of the year, but he couldn't give too much, these were supposed to be planned by the village for the villagers, these people didn't serve and didn't pay taxes, but they didn't know how to think of a way to see that the people in a village were not well fed and clothed, and it was time for them to bleed! "Situ Yan is to store grain and grass for Duanmu Xuan's 200,000 army, and it is also to give Situ Jin a reputation as a clean official.
"Yan'er, I will invite all villages and villages to discuss this livestock matter, after all, raising so many livestock is not a big burden for these village leaders' families. It's just that those grains, if they are all collected, I am afraid that the county government treasury will have nowhere to store? "Situ Jin doesn't worry about money, anyway, Xiaomei is a businessman, and there will always be a way.
"It's okay, I bought five yards when I first entered Beiping County earlier, and now they have all been converted into granaries, so my brother just orders!"
"It's good! With these, the people of the county can have a comfortable year this year! Situ Jin was happy in his heart, the tax was guaranteed, the people's families had grain in stock, and even surplus silver, and he saw that life was getting better and better.
"Yan'er, a few years ago, you told me that you would let those Xiucai in the county go to various villages to learn to teach children to read and write, which is not difficult, but the girls also have to follow suit, and the Xiucai have many complaints and are reluctant to go!" Situ Jin has been quarreled with by these showmen these days. Seeing that the first lunar month has passed, these people are reluctant to go to the village to teach.
"Brother still remembers the pair I gave to Mr. Gongsun, you just have to take it to those talents, whoever is right, not only will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, but you can even skip going to the village school, and the county government will subsidize 10 taels of silver every month for him to study. If you don't feel right, you don't have to talk about it, what should you do, you don't have a lot of knowledge! Although Situ Yan said this roughly, Situ Jin understood that the little sister was not used to it, so she just opened her eyes and closed her eyes, fortunately, there were no outsiders at this time, and this word would not be spread.
Sure enough, before noon that day, these noisy talents obediently took the road to the villages with their burdens. The village has long prepared a house for these people for teaching and lodging, and even arranges for the women in the village to wash and cook for them every day, but the arrogance of these people has been wiped out by Situ Jin long before they go out of the city, and they are also kind when they enter the village, and they have lost their former majesty.
These were already expected by Situ Yan, she was arrogant to kill these people, and of course it was to solve this matter. And Situ Jinwen was born as a champion, and the Confucianism can naturally convince the public without arousing objections.
Among the military tuns, Situ Yan had already discussed with Duanmu Xuan, in addition to the tuntian fields that the military households needed to cultivate, they should also open up the wasteland to plant alfalfa grass and horse beans.
"Yan'er, don't you want these horse beans just to feed the horses, right?"
"No, this horse feed bean can also be eaten, but it still needs to be processed, and the slag can not only grow mushrooms, but also be used as feed and compost, in short, this horse feed bean is full of treasures!" In fact, even if Situ Yan's ideas were not explained to Duanmu Xuan, he would do it.
Situ Jin recruited the village leaders of each village, and finally promised a subsidy of one or two silver, and these people were willing to obey the order. It is also Situ Jin who does all this for the sake of the people, even if they don't want to do it in their hearts, they also know that this county order is a big Qing official, in order to let the people of a village live a good life, although their family is busy and tight, but it can't be regarded as a fundamental move. Moreover, at the end of the county decree year, a tael of silver will be issued, and they will be rewarded with fame and benefits.
At the beginning of the year, these things were finally settled, and now it is only after the dry period has passed, and the Yishui River is open. (To be continued.) )
