Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn.

In the middle of spring, the farmers in the fields begin to renovate their fields, and after a spring rain, the smell of earth fills the air.

In a small pavilion on the outskirts of the city, Chen Shou sat on a stone bench, and dozens of officials stood below.

They were all officials of the Ministry of Works, and in the past, they did not leave the yamen easily, but now they gathered outside the city.

"Diverting water for irrigation is a major event, and it must not be neglected." Chen Shou raised his hand and pointed to the cultivated fields in the distance, and said loudly: "In recent years, there have been frequent floods, but fortunately, it has not yet reached the point where it is difficult to control. ”

Today's Yellow River, under the governance of its predecessors, has not undergone large-scale dike bursts.

This is excellent news, which makes Chen Shou feel very excited, especially after reading the historical books left behind, he knows how determined they were to repair the Yellow River in the first place.

In the field in the distance, a young man, looking at the gazebo, wiped his sweat and asked, "Is that the Marquis of Zhongyong?" ”

"Apart from him, who else has this majesty, so that dozens of officials and masters stand and listen to his lectures." The old man laughed.

"Everyone says that the Marquis of Zhongyong is a big traitor, but I didn't expect to come to our fields, and I don't look like a bad person."

The old man glanced at him, buried his head and continued to weed, and said in his mouth: "Loyal ministers and traitors, what does it have to do with us, isn't this good land of Zhongyong Marquis your share?" Work with peace of mind is that in this world outside, I don't know what the chaos will become, so our Kaifeng Mansion is still peaceful. ”

The young Housheng smiled and said: "Our Kaifeng Mansion is the capital, and there are dragon veins and dragon energy." ”

The old man laughed and said, "Do your job, you don't understand anything." ”

He stole a glance at the gazebo in the distance, where the Marquis of Zhongyong had already stood up and was about to leave under the escort of the guards.

The old man lowered his head and continued to work, and secretly said in his heart, if the Marquis of Zhongyong is a traitor, let him be more traitorous, but don't let that group of honest and loyal officials come back.

Loulan night snow, private room.

After Chen Shou sat down, Baytash said with some excitement: "I have already helped you contact the most famous horse merchant in the Western Regions, even if it is the king, there is no way to restrict his business. ”

"And such a powerful person?" Chen Shou asked with some confusion: "Where do you guys have such a high status of selling horses?" ”

Baytash smiled mysteriously and said, "He is not a simple businessman, there are some things that I can't say, in short, you know that he has a lot of energy and can satisfy your appetite." ”

Chen Shou really didn't continue to ask, as long as he could buy a horse, find a horse breeding land, and build a horse farm, he could be regarded as solving his urgent need.

You must know that Kaifeng Mansion and Daimyo Mansion are not suitable for raising horses, and they are easy to become the target of others.

But this thing is built elsewhere, and I am always not at ease, so I can only find a place in Xiliang for the time being.

If it is swallowed by his father-in-law, there is no way to do it...

The servant beside Baytash poured him a glass of wine, pushed him to Chen Shou, and asked, "I heard that you have raised your business tax again, aren't you afraid that no one will drive camels to do business?" ”

Chen Shou chuckled: "No, no one will give up mining gold mountains because there are many stones on the road." My taxes are higher than I used to, but when you look at the business in general, it's definitely the lowest. ”

Chen Shou is such a money bag, he must not give up squeezing Hu Shang, he belongs to the buyer of the transaction with Nantang at sea, countless gold and silver are scraped together and delivered, and the money is made by the chamber of commerce of Nantang.

There are only a few places where taxes are paid in various places, and they are often intercepted halfway.

In addition to a righteous name, there is almost nothing left of the Great Qi Imperial Court, and it can't control those feudal officials at all.

A few days ago, Huaiyin soldiers and horses suddenly attacked Gaoyou, and then surrounded Yangzhou City.

The prefect of Yangzhou opened the door and surrendered, and was strangled to death, who the Huaiyin soldiers were fighting for, everyone in the world knew that it was the soldiers and horses of the Wei family.

Wei Yunse reigned for twelve years, and the two Huai were all his cronies, and the Wei family almost covered the sky with one hand.

After the death of the old thief, his younger brother Wei Yunting was elected as the new head of the family, in charge of the military and political power in the Lianghuai area.

They hate Chen Shou to the core, and if they have the opportunity, they will definitely be the first to enter Kaifeng Mansion.

It's just that Chen Shouxin got 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Daimyo's Mansion, which made Wei Yunting and his subordinates a little jealous and didn't dare to do it easily.

When the heroes are competing, whoever can calm down can often have the last laugh.

It is difficult to fight for a long time, and the importance of Taoguang is the most evident at this time.

Even Chen Shou didn't dare to directly kill in Hedong, fight with Jiang Chucai, a sworn enemy, and borrow a knife to kill people, driving Li Xin to fight.

As long as he moves, he doesn't know how many soldiers and horses, he will kill Kaifeng Mansion from all directions.

Now the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo's Mansion are in Shandong, which is a borderless land plagued by the White Lotus Sect, and there is no strong local power, because it is close to Gyeonggi, and the control of the imperial court is relatively strong.

If someone takes the opportunity to fight, Zhang Zhengyuan can easily withdraw the soldiers and horses and gallop to Kaifeng.

The night is getting deeper, and the summer palace is as light as a bean.

Li Lingfeng just asked the nurse to take the child away and go to sleep in the next room, while he breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the couch.

Beside her, Zhiqin held an unfinished embroidered purse in her hand, and a pair of phoenixes on the purse spread their wings around the word "Shou".

Although Li Lingfeng himself doesn't embroider, he glanced at it from time to time, pinched the pumpkin seeds in his hand and said: "Embroider a little better, this place is adding a small flower, and when the time comes, I will say that I embroidered it." ”

Zhiqin lowered her head and concentrated on being a female red, Zhiqi beat her calf on the side, and couldn't help laughing: "He's not stupid, you can see at a glance that it's not embroidered by the eldest lady." ”

Li Lingfeng flexibly spit out the skin of melon seeds with the tip of his tongue, rolled his eyes, and said: "What you said is also reasonable, don't embroider Xiaohua, embroider a little crookedly, it looks like a novice is doing it." ”

"What newbie?" Chen Shou opened the curtain and came in, Zhiqin quickly hid the purse, Zhiqi stroked his chest, blushed and said, "You open the door and walk, why don't you make a sound." ”

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what are you afraid of? Besides, I came a long time ago, and I happened to meet the nurse who went out with Xiaohua in her arms, so I followed and looked next door. ”

Li Lingfeng's body was inconvenient, so he didn't get out of bed, and pointed to the soft collapse next to him and said, "You sit here." ”

Chen Shou smiled and didn't sit down on the soft collapse, but kicked Zhiqi's buttocks, drove her away, and kneaded Li Lingfeng's calves for her.

Li Lingfeng was wearing thin gauze pants, a pair of slender legs wrapped around her, and her knees and shins were straight, which was indescribably good-looking. After removing the embroidered shoes, two white greasy little feet are exposed in the wide trouser legs, which are very cute.

Seeing Chen Shou's gaze, Li Lingfeng shook his calves proudly, blinked and asked, "It's good-looking, right?" ”

Zhiqi stood behind him, waved his small fist into the air, and then went to pour tea, took the hand stove, took off his cloak, and squatted on the ground to take off Chen Shou's boots and replace them with a flannel shoe bunch.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

Li Lingfeng's body got better quickly, and his face was ruddy just now, so he covered his chest and said delicately: "I can't feel strong, but I can't tell what is uncomfortable." ”

The three maids covered their mouths, for fear that they would laugh.

Chen Shou hurriedly shushed the cold and asked for warmth, and took the opportunity to scold the three maids for not taking good care of them.

Li Lingfeng smiled and asked, "Why are you free again?" ”

"Look at what you said, when will I not come?"

"The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, the fifth day of junior high school, the second day of junior high school..."Zhiqi said with his finger on the side.

"As far as you remember, what's the matter, are you like every three autumns?"

Zhiqi grimaced and stopped talking, Chen Shou smiled: "Your father heard that you gave birth to a girl, and he wants to send someone to take you two back..."

Li Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, looking panicked, "How did my father know!" ”

Chen Shou's expression was a little strange, Li Lingfeng suddenly realized, and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Lingyue! ”

"No, it's me chatting with the Xiliang caravan and accidentally leaking my mouth." Chen Shou hurriedly covered up for his daughter-in-law.

"You just protect her, she must have said it."

Li Lingfeng didn't believe Chen Shou's nonsense at all, her eyes were red, she gave birth to a child during her widowhood, and it was not good for her father to know about it.

Let's not talk about the bad reputation of the Li family, just with my father, I will be a little ashamed to see people.

Chen Shou snorted and said with a smile: "Well, the old father-in-law didn't know that it was my child, otherwise he would definitely be relieved." You think, you are the crown princess of the anti-prince Zhao Zhe, and if you give birth to a child, your father-in-law is also afraid that there will be rumors, and someone will attack you with this. He's trying to keep you by his side. ”

Li Lingfeng covered his face and kicked his little feet around: "You husband and wife have teamed up to drive me to Xiliang, as well as my little flower." Why are we so miserable, woooooooooooooo

Chen Shou turned around, not knowing what to say.

Li Lingfeng waited for a while, didn't wait for Chen Shou to coax her, turned around and saw that Chen Shou was staying there, and he didn't get angry.

"You don't talk anymore, you must think I'm making a big fuss, right?"

"I didn't say that." Chen Shou hurriedly denied it.

"No, that's what you think." Li Lingfeng originally wanted him to coax himself, but now he was talking, but he entered the play, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged, and the beads of tears seemed to fall down.

"Why do I think so, of course I want you to stay with me, you know that." Chen Shou said helplessly.

Li Lingfeng whimpered: "Then why did you say that you didn't say it, not that you didn't think about it." ”

Chen Shou: ...

Fortunately, at this time, the curtain was lifted and Hong'er walked in. She was also only wearing obscene clothes and pants, and when she saw Chen Shou, her eyes were happy, and she quickly took it back.

She thought that she was just a concubine, and she didn't dare to show her attachment to her master in front of outsiders, especially Li Lingfeng. However, the smile at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes can't be contained, these days in the summer palace, the number of times I see the lord is not as much as in the house.

Chen Shou didn't have this scruples, when he saw that the big savior was coming, and as the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a wife is not as good as stealing, I haven't seen this lovely and well-behaved concubine for a few days, and I miss her strangely, so I quickly got up and smiled: "Hong'er is here." ”

Hong'er bent her knees lightly and said, "Master." ”

"Hurry up and show Feng'er, I see her turning over and over, crying, this shouldn't be good for the body?"

Seeing the appearance of her master, Hong'er smiled in her heart and relieved him: "What the master said is that if you often use liver fire, you may leave the root of the disease." ”

Li Lingfeng guarded Hong'er, and sure enough, he stopped crying, secretly wiped away his tears, quietly covered his exposed legs, brushed his hair and said: "Didn't I say it, I don't need to watch it at night, I have tired you for the past few days, and you have been by my side during the day." ”

With Hong'er here, Chen Shou's life is much better, Li Lingfeng can't wipe his face, he is coquettish and foolish in front of Hong'er, and he is messing around.

After staying in the room for half an hour, Chen Shou got up, said that there was something in the house, and walked out.

Hong'er hurriedly said, "I'll send it to the master." ”

Chen Shou said with a smile: "Wear so thinly, don't run around, you are here to take care of Feng'er, I will give you a credit, this month your monthly money will be full attendance." ”

Hong'er's cheeks were dizzy, ashamed and happy, but Zhiqin tilted her head and said: "The monthly money and the saying of full diligence, your house is really strict." ”

After talking to his concubine, Chen Shou immediately changed his face, and said to the three personal maids of Zhiqin, Zhiqi and Zhishu with a straight face: "You three little hooves, also give me a good life, otherwise I will send all of you to the house with a small servant." ”

None of the three of them were afraid of him, making a grimace and sticking out the tip of his tongue was considered to be face, and Zhiqin didn't raise his head at all.

Chen Shou and Li Lingfeng shook hands and said a few thoughtful words, Hong'er had already held his cloak from the hanger and tied it familiarly, and then sent him out of the dormitory.

After coming out, Chen Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fooled over.

Yue'er is too disagreeable, and she wants to send her sister back to Xiliang in every possible way, but now Li Wei doesn't know it, if Li Lingfeng is allowed to go back, he will inevitably know.

When the time came, Li Wei found out that he had married his second daughter, but he made his eldest daughter's belly bigger, and gave birth to a pink and tender little granddaughter.

Li Wei and Li Xin are different, he has been in charge of Xiliang for decades, and if he goes down to Xiliang, 100,000 men will work hard for him.

Zhang He, like an ant, walked back and forth around the carriage, and when he saw him come out, he hurried up.

"What are you doing, panicking, what are you looking like!" Chen Shou put his hands behind his back and reprimanded.

"My lord, there is news from Liangzhou, Li Wei learned that his daughter refused to go back, worried about her safety, and wanted to come to Beijing to pick up the eldest lady in person."

Chen Shou was stunned for a moment, and said with some suspicion: "Is this news accurate?" ”

"Because there is a war in the east of the river, I want to take a detour from Qin, and the old handsome man... At this time, it is estimated that it has arrived in Luoyang. ”
