In Shijia Village, near the Chu Wangfu, a group of people gathered together, as if something special had happened.

"Shi Ming, you came just in time, you should read the news in this Datang Daily to everyone and see if it is really the same as what you Aya said."

Shi Fu saw his neighbor Shi Yang's son Shi Ming coming over, and hurriedly beckoned him to sit in the middle.

As one of the first few students in Shijia Village to study at Guanshishan Academy, Shi Ming still has a bit of status in the village.

"Da Lang, everyone is so curious, then you can read it again [Yoyo Reading] to see that I didn't lie to everyone."

Shi Yang saw his most proud son coming, and he couldn't help but feel that there was a light on his face.

Even Shi Fu's words obviously meant that he didn't believe himself, he didn't care.

In the countryside, as long as his son is angry, he can raise his head a little higher when he does anything.

"You must be talking about the article that tells the story of Uncle Shi Liang and Uncle Shi Wen, right? Where are the newspapers? ”

Although Shi Ming was only a teenager, he already looked old and serious, and he didn't feel worried at all when he sat there.

"This, here!"

Shi Fu took the newspaper from the neighbor on the side and handed it to Shi Ming.

"The tree dies, but the man lives. Uncles, what I read next is an article in the latest edition of Datang Daily, and this is the title of it. ”

Shi Ming glanced at the newspaper and began to read.

"Last year, His Royal Highness the King of Chu successfully planted two seasons of Nanyang rice in Chang'an City, and His Majesty and the ministers of the court immediately attached great importance to it, and specially arranged for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to be responsible for the promotion of Nanyang rice in Jiangnan Province and Shannan Province. This time, the promotion of Nanyang rice, the imperial court spent a lot of money to move a large number of Turkic people from the Yunzhong Governorate to Jiangnan, and also arranged for many people in Guanzhong Province to move south. ”

"Shi Ming, we all know all this news, but isn't this all last year?"

Shi Fu listened for a while, didn't hear his brother's name, and couldn't help but interrupt Shi Ming's words.

"Uncle Shi Fu, don't worry. This article is just beginning. As far as I know, this long article, which has a word count of 2,000 words, was written by the royal steward of the Chu Palace, and I have just read it. ”

Shi Fu showed an embarrassed look on his face when he heard this, "That'...... Then you go on, and we listen. ”

"Outside Chang'an City, there is a village called Shijia Village. In the early years, Shijia Village was a famous singles village outside Chang'an City, many young men could not marry a daughter-in-law, this is all poor, which family wants their daughter to marry a family who has eaten a meal without a meal? ”

This situation began to change a few years ago, especially after His Royal Highness the King of Chu introduced the method of rice and fish farming, Shijia Village became a well-known and wealthy village outside Chang'an. However, this affluence is relative. Everyone is just living a small life that no longer goes hungry, and if you want to continue to live on a new level, it is obviously not enough to rely on this. ”

At this time, the imperial court issued the latest immigration order, which not only solved the problem of the immigrants' expenses on the road, but also promised to give each immigrant 100 acres of Yongye land and provide Nanyang rice seeds for free. Even for fear that everyone would not be able to grow this new type of rice, Guanshishan Academy also sent many students to go to the place of immigration with everyone. Shi Liang and Shi Wen of Shijia Village are ordinary members of this army of immigrants. ”

When Shi Ming read this, he couldn't help but pause and looked at the expressions of everyone around him.

Obviously, it was this article that really attracted everyone's interest when it came to this place.

Getting in the newspaper is something that no one would ever dare to imagine.

I didn't expect that the Shiliang Shiwen brothers, who couldn't be asked by these two daughters-in-law, would be able to be in the newspaper.

Is this going to go down in history?

Many villagers who did not make up their minds to emigrate have a trace of regret in their hearts.

"The place where the two brothers Shi Liang and Shi Wen came is Xiangyang County under the rule of Xiangzhou in Shannan Province, this Xiangyang County is not very far from Chang'an City, take the land route to Hanzhong, and then go down by boat, but it takes a few days to arrive. The contemptible people were fortunate to follow His Royal Highness the King of Chu to inspect the cultivation of rice in the world, and outside Xiangyang County, they met these two brothers from Shijia Village. ”

At that time, they had planted more than 60 acres of Nanyang rice. Then many people may have questions, didn't the imperial court say that it would give everyone a hundred acres of Yongye land? Why did these two brothers only grow 60 acres of rice? ”

"The imperial court will not deceive the people if it promises a thousand dollars. It turned out that the Shiliang brothers were too busy because of lack of manpower, so they planted 60 acres of rice first, and even if they were 60 acres of rice, they had collected more than 10,000 catties of rice during the summer harvest. The Shiliang brothers immediately sold most of the rice, and then bought a slave to help plough the land, and planted more than 110 acres of seedlings in one fell swoop when the late rice was planted......"

Shi Ming read it slowly, and it took him a quarter of an hour to finish reading the article "Trees Die, People Move".

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I? This Shi Liang and Shi Wen are now issued, I said at the beginning that immigration is a very good opportunity, and many of you still don't listen to my persuasion. If it weren't for the fact that my family only has one son, and I only have one son, Shi Ming, and the three generations of my ancestors are all single, I would have immigrated with them. One hundred acres of Yongye field, this can save you more than 30 years of struggle. ”

Shi Yang was very satisfied when he saw everyone's reaction after listening to his son read the newspaper.

Although he was faintly envious of Brother Shi Liang in his heart, he was more happy.

"This ...... Is this really fake? Before, Shi Liang and the others asked them to bring back a letter, and they didn't mention the purchase of slaves. ”

Shi Fu was both excited and a little incredulous.

My younger brother, who couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law, now has a slave?

This scene feels a little weird when you think about it.

"Datang Daily was personally organized by His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged for the master of Yongping County Lord, how could he lie? It was said that Shi Liang Shiwen bought a slave, and he absolutely bought it. Besides, haven't you heard, they collected more than 10,000 catties of rice during the summer grain, and the money from the sale of these rice, not to mention buying a slave, is enough to buy two more mothers-in-law. Maybe people can now sleep with Mei Jiao Niang in their arms every night. ”

Shi Yang is a relatively knowledgeable person in Shijia Village, and now that he has found such a good opportunity, he naturally wants to stand up and perform.

Besides, the Shiliang Brotherhood immigrated at the beginning, and it really had a credit to him.

"Hehe, Shi Yang, don't go home for a while, it just so happens that Shi Ming is also back today, I slaughtered the castrated rooster, let's have a good drink today."

By now, Shi Fu basically has a spectrum in his heart.

It seems that his two younger brothers are really developed.

On the grave of his ancestors, it seems that there is green smoke.

……

Daming Palace, including the cool hall.

Empress Changsun took the Datang Daily handed over by the maidservant, and locked her eyes on the lower right corner as usual.

Well?

Empress Eldest Sun thought she had taken the wrong newspaper.

Flipped it over, looked at the back, and flipped it over again.

That's right.

This is Datang Daily.

But what's going on today?

What about "Dream of Red Mansions"?

Why is it gone?

Why are there all the stories of the promotion of Nanyang rice in Gangnam Province and Shannan Province in that place?

Isn't it fixed to serialize one chapter at a time?

"Sister, have you read today's Datang Daily?"

Just when Empress Changsun was still stunned, Concubine Wei came to the Hanliang Palace.

I don't know if it's really so coincidental, this Wei Guifei just came in on the front foot, and Concubine Yang and Concubine De also came over on the back foot.

"I just got it for a while, and I haven't finished reading it, what's wrong?"

Empress Eldest Sun is worthy of being the mother of the harem, and she obviously still had a lost expression just now, so she won't be able to see anything unusual at all.

"On this Datang Daily, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not serializing the "Dream of Red Mansions", there was originally a chapter every time, but today's newspaper is gone, my sister is thinking, this book will be gone in the future, or is there any special situation, so come and ask my sister for advice."

Although Wei Guifei's face was a little anxious, she was still very steady when she spoke.

"It just so happened that I also found out that this "Dream of Red Mansions" was gone, so I came to see the situation."

Concubine De interjected on the side.

Datang Daily such a fresh thing appeared in Chang'an City, and these nobles in the palace naturally had a copy of it as soon as possible.

At first, there were no expectations.

However, after reading the whole content, it is a little different.

Like the major events of the court and politics, many of them can hear it, but it can't attract their attention.

But market stories and business news, which are rarely accessible in the harem, are still very good for pastime.

And the most surprising thing for everyone is the serialization of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Actually, when I first read the first chapter, or even the second chapter, everyone still didn't have a particularly big feeling.

Because the story had not fully unfolded at that time, it was more of a kind of foreshadowing and foreshadowing, which could not attract everyone's attention.

However, after a few chapters, this is not the case.

Obviously, the protagonist of this story is not very different from the previous ones.

This is a rare film that depicts many women.

No one needs to sell it, in the Daming Palace, a bunch of concubines have become loyal readers of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Even Empress Changsun was no exception.

Chasing after the change was not something that only Cheng Yanjin could do back then.

"A-Niang, are you saying that there is no such thing as "Dream of Red Mansions" in the latest newspaper?"

Just as Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Wei were talking, the voice of the son attracted everyone's attention.

"That's right, son, you often go to the Chu Palace, don't you know something?"

Empress Changsun found that she had actually missed the son-in-law on the side, and she couldn't help but regret a little.

In the Daming Palace, if you want to know about the Chu Palace, in addition to Li Shimin and Li Zhong, you have to count Li Zhi and his son, right?

"Every time the second brother told this story, I was basically there. The day before yesterday, although he told the latest story, he arranged for someone to put down the next serialization, saying why the article made room. ”

The crisp voice of the son made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that there was no serialization this time, and it will continue next time.

Fortunately, it's not a broken shift.

Well, if they knew the word severe.

"In this issue of Datang Daily, the small stories that appeared in the place where the Dream of Red Mansions were originally printed are wonderful, but the back and forth are all about immigrants, and I said it in other sections in the last issue. This Kuan'er really doesn't understand what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. ”

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but complain.

How can these little stories be as wonderful as the story of Dream of Red Mansions?

"I don't understand this, but when I heard my second brother talk to them, it seemed that it had something to do with cotton planting."

After all, the son is still young, and she still can't grasp the meaning behind many words.

"Something to do with cotton farming?"

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

She didn't wonder if the son had misheard.

In this way, it really has to do with cotton farming.

In fact, during this time, it was not that no one cared about cotton planting, and even some nobles were still persuading Li Shimin to put down the restrictions on the restriction of not allowing large-scale cotton planting.

But there was no movement at all in the Chu Palace, which made people confused.

Now, no one thought that Li Kuan's foreshadowing would actually be on the Datang Daily.

If it weren't for the son's words, I guess everyone wouldn't have thought of it.

However, even if the son said so now, Empress Changsun still couldn't figure out how this newspaper could have anything to do with cotton planting?

This Kuan'er does things, and it's still as unpredictable as ever.

"Sister, since His Royal Highness the King of Chu has dictated the latest chapter, can we send someone to transcribe the content of this chapter, this thought will take a few days to see it, I feel that the food is not good, and I can't sleep well."

Although Wei Guifei was also a little surprised how this newspaper could have something to do with cotton planting, she was obviously paying more attention to Dream of Red Mansions now.

"This is doable, not only the latest chapter, it's best to let Kuan'er tell a few more chapters, everyone in the province is tickling every day and waiting for the next chapter to come."

Empress Eldest Sun understood Concubine Wei's mood at this time.

This Li Kuan, the story of Dream of Red Mansions has just entered the wonderful place, and it has been interrupted!

Can it not drive everyone crazy?

"Auntie, leave this matter to me, I'll go to the second brother's mansion in a while, and I'll definitely get the draft of the latest chapter when the time comes."

The son volunteered to take on this errand.

For other people, the Chu Wangfu is not so easy to enter, and for the son, it is like going to his own home.

Left and right are just a manuscript, and as long as it is written, it is impossible not to get it.

"Okay, then I'll leave this important task to you!"

Empress Eldest Sun also smiled, and couldn't help but feel emotional for Li Kuan's talent.

Just write a book, you can toss so many things.

In Chang'an City, there is no one left!
