178 New Year's benefits for the Great Sui

After returning from the city, San Lang stayed in the eldest princess's mansion for another night, and Mu Fushu and Mu Fushu were busy in the space for half a month, in order to grow more food and cotton.

The outcasts in the outer city who had fish charms only had enough food to eat for about ten days, and there was nothing to grow in winter, and even if they could be planted, they would not be able to quench their thirst.

There is a lot of food in the Mu Fushu space, but most of them are good rice and japonica rice, and now at this time, even the nobles can eat rice and white flour every day, so they want to plant in addition to cotton, that is, sweet potatoes and millet soybeans, etc., sweet potatoes have a high yield, which is promoted by the imperial court, and millet soybeans are the staple food of the people now.

In the past half a year, the proportion of time in space has increased again, and the space outside is almost a month, Mu Fushu feels that most of the things he grows are used to save people's lives, which is equivalent to making merits, which may be the reason why the proportion of space and outside time has increased. Subconsciously, Mu Fushu felt that this was a good thing, maybe the life span of himself and San Lang would also be extended, after all, they had been working in the space, and they should benefit a lot as the former master said.

After being busy for more than half a month, the two of them obviously had bags under their eyes when they came out, and Mu Fushu yawned even more. Eating morning food, his little face kept poking into the bowl, which made Saburo both funny and distressed.

Yang Weiai's face was a little weird, he looked at San Lang and then at Mu Fushu, and said seriously: "There are still more than two months left in the marriage period, you are still young, there are some things to pay attention to, the eldest mother is not sensible, San Lang should be careful, if the child is less than a month, it will make people laugh!" ”

Mu Fushu was confused, did he understand or not, San Lang's face turned red, and he said, "Auntie...... We didn't have ......."

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good to be measured." Young man, my aunt understands......"

By the way, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, what do you understand? Mu Fushu understood, and looked at San Lang's red face and didn't know what to say, and his father and stepfather also pretended to be serious......

"A-Niang, you teach us, how can we not doubt it?" Mu Fushu felt that since everyone was pretending to be serious, she could only pretend to be serious......

"Poof" the porridge in Saburo's mouth squirted out. Yang Weng and Cui Chongyu stared at Mu Fushu like hell. Yang Weiai's eyes widened, and he hesitated for a long time, then suddenly turned to Cui Chongyu and said, "San Lang doesn't have a father." You are the most experienced in this matter, and you are the only one who teaches him, and you can talk to him about it later......"

Cui Chongyu: ...... Where am I most experienced......

Yang Weng lowered his head and continued to drink porridge...... Well, there are words in Xiao Ai's words. What is the most experienced? Is it implying that I have no experience......

San Lang nodded and pretended to be dead, and his aunt spoke so directly...... The father-in-law wants to teach him how to be embarrassed to ejaculate in the hole......

Mu Fushu looked at Yang Weiai, who was more serious than himself. Suddenly I felt that the picture was so funny, I couldn't help it anymore, and I threw down my job and ran......

Yang Weiai said "um" and said with satisfaction: "In the end, it's still my daughter's house." Shy ......"

The problem of grain and cotton has been solved, and the next step is the big wedding and spring festival of the new year.

Every time the emperor ascends the throne, he will open Enko, and this time is no exception. The Great Sui was reinstated, and there was a shortage of officials, and all those who were raised in Enke this time would get good positions. But due to the widespread famine in the country in previous years. How many people can continue to read? How many of them are left? This is also a headache.

San Lang remembered what Mu Fushu told her about their exams, which seemed to be divided into subjects. If not, try the imperial examination this time?

The Great Sui did not go to court every day like later generations, but once every three days, and the rest of the time they performed their duties. Now there are not many officials in the court, and the seats of the official department and the criminal department are still vacant, and the king of Shu is willing to go, but he is born with a lack of roots, and everyone is afraid that he will thank him for the unjust case! In order to make him feel at ease, he arranged his son into the ministry, although he was only a waiter, and he was promoted exceptionally with his age.

Recently, the king of Shu always comforted himself in his heart whenever he knelt down to San Lang in the court: That's my son, my son, my son, my son, my son...... After talking too much, he suddenly felt that he was doing the right thing, San Lang was indeed more suitable than him to be the emperor, and he was sitting on the throne, and he was much more imposing than himself.

Well, if you look closely, your nose and forehead look like you! The king of Shu is full of pride, every time he goes to the court, he looks at San Lang on the throne with a loving face, as for what the court said, he can listen to one sentence in ten sentences, it is good, fortunately, Yang Zhihe, the son of the world, is a broad-hearted, otherwise he looks at others with the loving eyes of his son all day long, and it is strange not to think about it!

On this day, San Lang talked about the displaced people outside the city, Yang Weng naturally "opened the warehouse and released the grain" according to what was said in advance, as for the other people who suspected where the grain came from in the official warehouse, they also closed their mouths when they saw the empty cars coming in and out, but they were all scratching their hearts and lungs in surprise, and they couldn't understand where the food came from at all? Even if it was transported from Shudi, I didn't see so many?

It must have been that the young emperor had long expected this to happen, so he brought in food in advance and made thorough preparations!

Thinking about it this way, the officials' views on Saburo are more mysterious than being young and promising.

This time, the grain is still released according to the fish symbol, but it is not free, but according to the address of the government enthronement and the population registered on the fish symbol, the grain received will be deducted from their taxes in the next three years. Because many people choose to stay or reclaim or buy land, wasteland is exempt from tax for three years, and newly bought fields are only taxed at three points, and now the grain on credit is enough for three years.

The measure of driving grain was not once every ten days, and until the end of December, there was still a steady stream of people rushing to Chang'an.

In the first ten years of relocation, the population of Chang'an was only one-twelfth of its heyday, and there were many empty houses left. Large families are still guarded, ordinary people have moved out with their families, and many people have lost their lives in foreign lands and can never return. The government has issued a notice across the country that those who do not return by March next year will be treated as ownerless empty houses, and the same is true for acres of land.

Throughout December, there were people everywhere who had returned to their hometowns from Chang'an and other places, at least they could receive food and clothing and get through the winter safely.

Large-scale migration, of course, there will be dead people along the way, and those who did not make it to Chang'an were hurriedly buried halfway, which was also the last group of dead people since Saburo ascended the throne.

In ancient times, the lunar calendar was used, December 30 was Chinese New Year's Eve, and January 1 was New Year's Eve. On December 26, the last time the year was opened, Mu Fushu and Saburo decided to distribute japonica rice, white noodles, fish and other meat dishes, and not only homeless people, as long as they had fish charms, they could go and receive them. Although each person can only receive half a catty of meat and a carp, or a family of more than five can receive a large herring or silver carp, such a welfare distribution has alarmed people, including the upper aristocratic circle in Chang'an.

Those officials in the court, when they heard Saburo announce this, they all got carried away for a while, and whispered in the main hall, and the most they said was where did the fish and meat come from?

You must know that at this time, there is no fish pond to raise fish, even if there are frozen, where to get so many fish? Didn't see how expensive the fish sold on the street was? You also need to set up a stove at the bottom to heat it and sell it at the same time, otherwise it will freeze.

Since Saburo put it forward, he naturally has confidence. It's not necessarily fresh fish, but frozen fish is also fish! As for pork meat, it is even simpler, in this era, the rich still eat more beef and mutton, and feel that pork is eaten by inferior people, and few nobles eat pork. Mu Fushu has brought a lot of frozen fresh meat since his previous life, and he is worried that there is no place to deal with it, you must know that the pork at this time is good pork, pure and natural, and those who ate formula feed in the previous life are not comparable.

The problem is that pork is not rare, but fish is hard to come by even if you have money!

After the officials below gradually quieted down, San Lang said: "Don't worry, the queen of fish, meat, japonica and rice has been arranged, and it will be distributed at the four city gates in the east, west, south and north early tomorrow morning." ”

When it came to the queen, everyone was stunned at first, and then their faces were different. Even Yang Weng looked at San Lang with some surprise. After all, there is no big wedding to call it like this, strictly speaking, it is rude.

Cui Chongyu admired San Lang's domineering, waved his hand, and said directly: "Yes, the eldest princess's mansion has started to load the car today, and when a certain person came out, three carts of pork had already been loaded." ”

San Lang looked at the faces of those officials, and finally became satisfied, and said with a smile: "The queen also said that all the ministers came in to work hard, and the Ministry of Rites will distribute some food as a gift before the year, well, that is, welfare." Today, everyone can go to the Ministry of Rites to pick it up. ”

At this time, everyone found out that Cui Yuanqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was not here today, and it seemed that he was preparing for the benefits as a ritual. I don't know what it will be?

Of course, Mu Fushu will not be stingy with some food. The speed in her space is getting faster and faster, how much food can be grown in a day outside and a month inside? Now the most scarce thing outside is food, and it is not uncommon for them to give silver to those officials, and if there is white flowery rice, it will definitely be welcome.

Cui Yuanqi was busy in the Ministry of Rites. This time, the benefits are not distributed according to the rank of officials, and all of them are treated equally. Each person has two stones of Thai fragrant rice (one stone is about 100 catties), one stone of white noodles, ten chickens, half a sheep, fifty catties of beef, fifty catties of fish, and you can pick big fish or small fish. In addition, there is a large box of fruits with apples, pears, oranges, etc. The most surprising thing is that there are still twenty catties of vegetables.

At this time, in winter, there are no other green leafy vegetables except Chinese cabbage, water celery and a little lotus root!

After the next court, those officials first went to the Ministry of Rites with suspicion of the letter, and as soon as they entered the courtyard and took a look, they shouted excitedly and ran out to find the next person - the upper court was not allowed to bring slaves, and they were all waiting outside the palace gate!

After receiving the official benefits, San Lang also announced that he would take annual leave, and he went to work on the eighth day of the new year after the New Year. (To be continued) R655
