Although Li Junran promised Emperor Jingshun to provide high-yield rice seeds for several farms in the south of the Yangtze River that mainly produced military rations, it was impossible to switch to the rice seeds provided by Li Junran all at once. Even if Li Junran has this strength, he can get so many rice seeds. Emperor Jingshun didn't dare either. What's more, according to Li Junran's meaning, all the farms have to be renovated.
So there was also a Xiaowang Farm that was rewarded to Baozi's father.
Li Junran didn't plan to renovate all the farms to look like modern ecological agriculture bases, but a simple transformation can still be done. It is still possible to build a few manure digesters in Xiaowang Farm, build a pig farm, and repair roads and street lights.
Xiaowang Farm is not too far from Fu'an Village, only half a day's journey. According to Li Junran's plan, the grain produced by the farm every year was handed over to the imperial court, and the rest was transported to Fu'antang to make wine, and the distiller's grains waste was used as pig feed, and pig manure straw and other materials were thrown into a manure biogas tank. The biogas produced by the digester is used for lighting on both sides of the road, and the biogas slurry is naturally used as fertilizer to irrigate crops.
A very simple ecological cycle.
Don't look at the fact that the productivity level of the Apocalypse Dynasty is not very high, according to the standard of building the emperor's tomb, build several non-leaking septic digesters, this construction level, there are still some construction levels. Anyway, the autumn harvest is over, and most of the farmers who have tenanted the land of Xiaowang Farm have stayed at home, busy with some trivial chores at home, except for a few who went to the town to find loose work to earn some broken silver.
Naturally, these people were gathered together and took advantage of the slack season to dig and build all the things that should be excavated and built. Whether it is Bao Zi's father or Li Junran's brother and sister, they are not mean and stingy people. I understand the truth that only when you are full and well can you have the strength to work.
Therefore, the farmers who were called in to build the septic digester were not badly fed every day. Although there are only two meals a day, and the food is only the most common corn mixed with white flour multigrain steamed buns, but the tube is full. And it is guaranteed to have one meat and one vegetarian plus clear soup. In addition, they can also receive at least 20 copper plates per day.
This treatment is not low in the slack season.
No, as soon as the recruitment information spread around Xiaowang Farm, the families who originally wanted to go to the town to try their luck to see if they could find short-term workers also stayed. After all, it's not close to home, although the work doesn't sound easy, but it's still enough to pack two full meals.
Li Junran was not surprised to be able to recruit people, but he didn't expect to be full so soon. It was somewhat unexpected by Li Junran. Think about it. I figured it out. Thinking about it, the farmers around Xiaowang Farm before came also made that Liu Weimin angry and resentful. This time, I took the opportunity to clean up and serve people in a pot, which can be regarded as a bad breath for them.
Because there are enough people to recruit, there is naturally no need to recruit people outside Xiaowang Farm. This made the kings of Chen, who got the news and wanted to quietly install some people to come in, to know. I hate it. Especially the Yiwang Chu Yi who suffered two secret losses in a row. It is said that the antique vases that are placed in the study alone. All replaced several times.
Hey, such a short temper is really a waste of the title of "King Yi" given by Emperor Jingshun.
Li Junran roughly planned Xiaowang Farm. Or to be more accurate, it should be said that he supervised and disposed of Liu Weimin on the side, and before King Chen and King Qi got the news and came to the door, they patted their butts and left. Leaving only Bao Zi Dad and Soybeans, he was responsible for supervising the construction of the biogas digester at Xiaowang Farm. Of course, just in case, Li Junran still left half of the guards to protect the safety of his nail bun father.
The little brother Li Junyang was very interested in the biogas digester that his little sister had mentioned at first, but looking at the engineering posture, he basically couldn't do it for half a month.
So, when King Chen and King Qi's men and horses pounced in Wanmei Villa, they didn't have time to turn around and rush to Xiaowang Farm, they were recruited back to Kyoto by Emperor Jingshun's urgent decree.
King Chen and King Qi were delayed in Jiangnan for too long, but the most important reason was that Emperor Jingshun didn't think much about his two sons getting on the line with a certain little fox so early. If you understand it from another angle, maybe you don't want these two uncompetitive sons to always be played by a little fox, and it's not impossible.
King Chen and King Qi held their breath like this, and returned to Kyoto unwillingly. Li Junran naturally doesn't need to hide from any cats anymore, it's time to go back to Bailu Academy to continue school. It's a pity that time flies quickly, and it will be Laba Festival in a few days. And after the Laba Festival, it's time for the winter vacation.
Li Junran, who had nothing to do, was still thinking about the last few days, whether to get up early and go to Bailu Academy for a stroll, and as a result, he received a book from Emperor Invegu, who was estimated to be idle in Kyoto. The content of the letter is quite simple, only a few words, let Li Junran, the new Huai'an Hou, go to Kyoto for the New Year, and call it a recognition of relatives.
After Li Junran read the letter, she suddenly felt like she had a toothache.
Where is this to let her recognize her relatives, so as not to know people at critical moments, too embarrassing rhythm. It's clear that an old fox is greedy, thinking about her peach blossom chickens and peach blossom stuffing.
It's a pity that as the biggest boss of the Apocalypse Dynasty, he has to give it if he doesn't want to.
"Little brother, do you want to go to the capital to see the excitement?" Li Junran, who received the message from the flying pigeon, shook his hand slightly, and the note in his hand caught fire and burned to ashes in an instant.
"To the capital?" Li Junyang, who was holding a book in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Li Junran, and asked tentatively, "Liu'er, don't you plan to take your father and mother to ......?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to bring it this time."
Regarding the secret of the manor, Li Junran only let the second room of the Li family know, and as for the seventh uncle and uncle Li Zhengyuan, they didn't tell it at first. As time passed, the secret was no longer spoken.
The distance between Yuezhen and Kyoto is that even if a thousand miles a day and a night travel 800 miles, they have to travel day and night to catch up with more than ten days. If you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take longer. Therefore, if you just bring the people in the second room of the Li family, it is a big deal to enter the manor, and Li Junran will ride a horse and hurry. The carriage and horses are tiring, and the body of a young man may not be unbearable, let alone an old man like the Seventh Uncle Ancestor.
The main point. Kyoto is not as good as other places, although Li Junran said that he took the title of Marquis of Huai'an from Emperor Jingshun, and Emperor Jingshun was also in the background, but in front of those intertwined powerful families, in the end, it was like a rootless ping, and it was not enough to see at all.
"I ...... Let's stay. Seeing Li Junran say this, Li Junyang was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"It's fine. I will leave all the guards and soldiers of the Hou Mansion to you. ”
Li Junyang pursed his lips, wanting to refuse, but it can be seen that Li Junran has a serious expression. He nodded in agreement.
Day 3. That is, on the sixth day of the lunar month, Li Junran packed up his simple bags, and then took Xuan Shi and Chen Shi and left Yuezhen on horseback. Rush to Kyoto. Li Junran left his cronies soybeans. Lu Bu followed Lan'er. and the pro-soldiers selected (robbed) from Feng Jinming, in addition to dealing with some trivial matters in Xiaowang Farm and the Hou Mansion, the most important thing is to protect the safety of Li Cui's and others.
This time I went to Kyoto. Li Junran did not rush day and night like the first time he met Emperor Jingshun, but obviously slowed down the speed of the trip. So much so that when I arrived in Kyoto, it was already the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, a small year.
For this reason, Emperor Invecis, who had already known Li Junran's whereabouts, was also busy at the end of the year, and he couldn't take care of Li Junran, who was grinding and chirping, for the time being. But if this account is delayed, Emperor Invesco will definitely settle accounts with Li Junran, which is a tacit matter.
Feng Jinming knew that Li Junran did not have a house in Kyoto, so he arranged a quiet courtyard in the area of the Third Ring City early for Li Junran to live temporarily.
The layout of Kyoto gives Li Junran the feeling that it is quite similar to Yanjing, with a boxy and symmetrical pattern. The innermost part is the Imperial City, where the biggest boss of the Apocalypse Dynasty lives. The mansions of royal relatives such as the princess and first-class dukes such as the Duke of Protector are in the inner city closest to the imperial city. Outside the inner city is the Second Ring City, and the residences of officials within the third rank of the imperial court live in the Second Ring City......
There are several high city walls and city towers between the inner city and the outer city, and according to the rank of Li Junran's Huai'an Hou, it is completely possible to live in the second ring city. It's just that the closer you get to the Imperial City, the more tense this land becomes. At present, Emperor Jingshun did not look at a certain high-ranking and powerful minister under him, and copied the mansion by the way, not to mention the second ring city, even in the third and fourth ring cities, it is not easy to find a mansion that meets the identity of Huai'an Hou.
Therefore, the three-entry courtyard arranged by Feng Jinming for Li Junran also took a lot of effort. Unfortunately, I didn't stay for a day.
Li Junran found an inn with a good reputation in the Fourth Ring City, set up a small courtyard, and after a simple grooming, he changed into formal clothes that matched the identity of the Hou Ye, and rode a horse with Xuan Yan directly into the palace to face the saint.
When he arrived outside the Zhengwu Gate, he first underwent a simple inspection, and then reported it layer by layer, and after a long time, he saw Chen Gonggong, the chief eunuch who was waiting for Emperor Jingshun, hurrying over.
"The miscellaneous family has seen the Marquis of Huai'an."
"Yo, I haven't seen Chen Sheren for a long time, but I look a lot younger."
"Master Hou said with a smile." As the chief eunuch Chen Gonggong who took care of Emperor Inshun's daily life, it can be said that he is the person who knows Emperor Inshun's joys, sorrows and sorrows best. Many times, Gonggong Chen's words are more effective than those high-ranking and powerful courtiers outside.
"Chen Sheren, it's a little fun." Taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders around, Li Junran stuffed a blue and white porcelain vase into Gonggong Chen's hand. The porcelain bottle is not big, and it contains the medicinal wine that Li Junran has nothing to do, which is very good for treating bruises, and the most important thing is that there is no smell at all.
According to the rules, the eunuchs and palace maids who take care of Emperor Jingshun's daily life are not allowed to have a trace of smell on their bodies. But in the end of this year, I always bowed my head and bowed my body, and the parts were always prone to problems. In this way, it is necessary to rub some medicinal wine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis to dispel it. However, the rules in the palace are not allowed to bring any flavor.
Gonggong Chen, as a cronie eunuch who sits on the top spot next to Emperor Jingshun, has not seen anything good? What kind of gift was more appropriate to give at the beginning, but it took Li Junran a lot of thought. Fortunately, this odorless medicinal wine was sent to Gonggong Chen's heart.
No, Gonggong Chen saw that Li Junran stuffed something that he was about to run out, and his eyes flickered obviously.
"Let Master Hou break the bill again." Although Gonggong Chen said this, the action of receiving gifts was quite skillful. In this regard, Li Junran only smiled faintly.
"It's good if Chen Sheren likes it. By the way, Your Majesty has been ...... for the past few days. Feeling good? ”
Chen Sheren shook his head slightly.
"Huh?"
"Your Majesty is still worried about the food." Gonggong Chen lowered his voice. He said softly, "I always can't sleep well this night, even if it's an iron body, I can't bear it." ”
"Oh." Li Junran nodded, indicating that he understood.
Emperor Jingshun was worried about food, which was expected by Li Junran. Jiangnan is the main grain producing area of the Apocalypse Dynasty, who would have thought that this year's drought would be more severe than expected. This grain output was not high in the first place, but a natural disaster reduced the output by more than half. It seems that the life of the common people will be even more difficult in the coming year.
Of course, it's just that the lives of ordinary people are not easy. For the powerful, especially those rich gentry whose families have thousands of acres of fertile land. I'm afraid that the rice in the warehouse is about to become moldy.
Do you want to incarnate "I'll come too". Robbing the rich and helping the poor?
Just as Li Junran was distracted, he only heard the voice of Gonggong Chen asking for peace suddenly sounded in his ears.
"The miscellaneous family has seen His Royal Highness King Chen."
King Chen? Isn't that unlucky...... Did this bear kid really come over to block people?
"You're that Huai'anhou? It's ugly. "Look, a bear child is a bear child.
"I've seen King Chen." Li Junran glanced up at King Chen, and then lightly clenched his fists and made a downward swing. Opening. "Heartlessness doesn't have to be pleasing with faces. So it doesn't matter if you're ugly. ”
It's okay now, and it suddenly angered King Chen, who was already holding his breath. What do you mean, this ugly little kid in front of you. Is this a mockery of the king, or is it a mockery of the king's mother?
Because the queen of the middle palace has not given birth to a prince for many years, this allowed Xiao Guifei, the mother of King Chu Chen, to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor. You must know that there has never been a shortage of beauties in this harem, and this Xiao Guifei from Xiao Ge's hometown was the first beauty in Kyoto back then. Just see the beauty, but don't see the vase beauty Xiao Guifei who has any talent. The reason why she was able to seal the concubine was because of her mother's strength, secondly, her belly was angry, and she won a man in one fell swoop and gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and thirdly, Emperor Jingshun brought out Xiao Meiren in order to suppress the power of the mother's family of the queen of the middle palace. Otherwise, King Chen Chu Chen could have been raised to the queen of the Middle Palace and raised on his behalf.
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, Xiao Meiren is the king of Israel, and the title of this noble concubine was also posthumously sealed for the sake of King Chu Chen after her death. In Li Junran's opinion, the only luck of Xiao Guifei may be that she received a boxed lunch before she was old and decrepit. At least now Emperor Jingshun can still occasionally look at the face of King Chu Chen, and faintly remember that Concubine Xiao is a great beauty of the heavenly fragrance and the country, that's all. As for what it looks like, I guess I've almost forgotten it.
Therefore, the biological mother Xiao Beauty can be said to be a thorn in King Chen's heart. Now he was pointed out by Huai Anhou, who had no foundation and didn't know where he came from, so he didn't shy away from it. King Chen is not angry, so he is called a hell.
"You...... Very good. King Chen almost gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"It's really good to be able to eat and sleep without intention." If Yin Wuxin's face doesn't smile, maybe it can be described as ordinary, this laugh, the whole horror version, is more ugly than crying. On the contrary, a certain little girl is in a very good mood at this time. There was a faint smile on his face throughout.
"It's His Royal Highness King Chen, who has no intention of looking at the faint bruises under his eyes. Although the peony is beautiful, it is too nostalgic to go back and forth, and it is not beneficial to the body. I didn't want to enter Beijing this time, but I brought several jars of wine. It's better to send His Royal Highness King Chen a jar of tiger tail wine. ”
Li Junran's words sounded fine at first glance, but when he listened carefully, he had some good intentions. The problem is that Huai'an Hou Yin has no intention of turning eleven after the New Year. You said that a little kid who has not yet reached adulthood, looks old and serious, and is twice his age, an adult in his twenties, what can you say that you can't be greedy for beauty, and the second generation of research and development must be moderate, and you must know how to combine work and rest, is it appropriate? This is not counting, but I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic to remind him, if he can't do it, he still has a secret medicine here, what kind of medicinal wine is brewed with a tiger, and it is absolutely guaranteed in quality and quantity, is it appropriate?
"No, you don't! Lonely doesn't need it! It's no wonder that King Chen Chuchen calmed down for a long time, and he didn't let himself calm down completely, his eyes almost widened, glared at Li Junran angrily, and said word by word.
"It's a shame."
"Since the eldest brother doesn't want it, why don't you have a cheap wine in the jar?" Before Li Junran's words fell, another son of Emperor Jingshun's family didn't know where he came from.
The people who came looked at him was about the same age as King Chu Qi of Qi, but unfortunately his face was unhealthy pale, but it was a small piece of fresh meat, but it was a pity that it was a little spoiled. This time, without even needing to be introduced by Gonggong Chen, Li Junran recognized which sick beauty was in front of him. I think that in addition to being born prematurely and frail, the six princes who were named the King of Freedom by Emperor Invesco early will not have anyone else.
"I heard Guiyun say that the Marquis of Huai'an has a lot of excellent wines. Since the eldest brother doesn't know the goods, why don't you just cheapen me, okay? Seeing that Li Junran didn't say a word, but looked at him with an inquiring gaze, King Xiaoyao took the initiative to confess Feng Jinming, not feeling that there was any big problem with betraying his friends like this.
Feng Jinming, the word returns to the cloud.
Li Junran raised his eyebrows and glanced at King Xiaoyao, as if asking Chu Xiaoyao if he really wanted the tiger tail wine. is aimed at the little chicken-like body of the King of Freedom, and he is not afraid of being weak and not being supplemented, and directly receives the box lunch.
"Isn't it often said that 'there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great'......"
"......" Li Junran wanted to roll her eyes, in fact, she did it. I don't know what went wrong, Emperor Jingshun reigned for more than 40 years, and in the first 20 years, he threw a princess and a princess, and his daughter was like a fountain blowing out. After chasing all the way for more than 20 years, it can be regarded as looking forward to the emperor's eldest son, Chen Wang Chuchen. After that, although there were still many daughters and few sons, I could see the prince born every once in a while.
Finally, the first few sons gradually grew up, and it is still a big problem that there is no successor. From a certain point of view, the sons of King Chu Chen, who have become adults, are even inferior to Emperor Jingshun. I think that in the second year after Emperor Jingshun got married, the eldest princess came out, and King Chu Chen has been married for several years, not to mention his son, and even his daughter has not been developed.
I don't care if there is a problem here for the time being, but if anyone takes the lead in adding a grandson to Emperor Invesco at this critical moment, it will definitely increase by several percentage points for the successful competition for the throne.
King Xiaoyao's words undoubtedly gave King Chen Chu Chen a wake-up call. It's just that I refused at this time, and then regretted it in the blink of an eye, is it really good?
Obviously, Li Junran underestimated the lower limit of the great prince Chen Wang Chu Qi.
"What the Sixth Emperor Brother said is very true. It's just that I'm worried about the bones of the Sixth Emperor Brother, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to withstand the medicinal effect of the 'tiger tail wine'. This wine will not be remembered by the six emperor brothers......"
Hey, hey, the surname is Chu, have you asked your sister's opinion? It's really worthy of the bear child of the old man Invesco, and he has a virtue with being a father! ╭(╯^╰)╮
I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! ╭(╯^╰)╮
Gonggong Chen on the side probably noticed something, or the time was delayed for a long time, and reminded everyone present that Emperor Jingshun was still waiting for Huai'an Hou Yin in the imperial study.
With Gonggong Chen's kind reminder, King Chen Chuqi and King Xiaoyao naturally did not dare to delay any longer.
So, Li Junran was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, go and brush, uh, and meet the biggest Boos Jingshun Emperor of the Apocalypse Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
