Chapter 170 The Fun of Evening Sports
The potatoes and sweet potatoes in Wannian County are in full swing.
The amazing output shocked everyone's attention.
Zhu Chao, the commander of Wannian County, saw that Cheng Yanjindu, the general of Zuo Wuwei, personally led the army and came to help harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Immediately, he also led the county government officials and others to join the fiery harvest team.
Lin Ran expressed his deep gratitude and admiration for these volunteer workers.
Don't forget to send a few potatoes and sweet potatoes as a practical material thanks.
Just saying and not doing is equal to practicing in vain.
In the same way, Guangguang makes people work, and they are reluctant to give gifts, who will come to accompany you tomorrow to bask in the sun.
The sun in this season can make people peel off their skin in one day.
Not to mention working in the sun.
"Boy, what are you going to do with so many potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
Cheng Yanjin picked up a thick and long sweet potato and wiped the mud on his clothes.
Take a bite with a rattle.
The taste is crisp and sweet.
It's delicious.
Quench your thirst and hunger.
It's a great farmhouse meal.
Let Cheng bite Jin can't put it down these days. (Hee-hee, don't you love it...) Don't spray me)
"Uncle, the younger generation wants to pay taxes to the imperial court and pay all the taxes in the entire Wannian County."
"Poof······
Cheng Yanjin squirted out half of the sweet potato in his mouth when he heard this.
Cover your little heart with both hands.
And it's hard to cover.
Why is this little guy so cute?
His Majesty has given himself a task, and it is an extremely difficult task.
Now it doesn't seem too simple.
I haven't used a few words yet, and that's it.
"You said you were going to pay taxes for the whole county of Wannian County?"
Cheng Yanjin pretended to be at a loss and asked.
"Why do you have to do that?"
Cheng Yanjin patted the dirt on his body, looking like please tell me your reasons.
"Uncle, the younger generation thinks that since the younger generation is planting the land of the people of the county, they should pay taxes for the people of the county."
"Didn't the old man hear that you have signed a contract with them?"
"There is rent for farming, there is food, and there is still money to be paid during the busy farming period."
"That's not a small amount of money, you have to think about it."
Cheng Yanjin said solemnly in a serious tone.
Lin Ran was very moved.
"Uncle, taxes are what the people should pay."
"It is also an important economic source to support the normal operation of the country."
"Although the younger generation has signed a contract with the people, and the rent and wages are a lot of money."
"However, this year's output is too amazing, and the younger generation has an unexpected high yield."
"Even if you pay the taxes of the whole county, the food left by the younger generation is an astronomical amount."
"Enough for the second season to be popularized throughout Chang'an, and the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes."
"Even Henan Province, Hedong Province, Longyou and other areas have been gradually promoted."
"Next year, the people of Datang can basically solve the problem of food and clothing, and there will be no more hungry people in the year after tomorrow."
Lin Ran replied solemnly, making Cheng Yanjin almost jump up.
This guy, if Your Majesty hears such words.
How happy and excited it must have been.
No, I have to report this exciting news to His Majesty.
I'm afraid it won't be today, and it's dusk soon.
I have to go home after dinner.
There is still a lady waiting for him in the house······
Thinking of his wife, Cheng Bitingjin's eyes were shining.
It's scary.
"Boy, you have to think about it."
"Once the news of your decision to pay taxes for the people of Wannian County spreads, it's too late to regret it."
"Uncle can rest assured, the younger generation is using the land of the people of the county, so there is a scene of today's bumper harvest."
"The younger generation who pays taxes takes it for granted and is reasonable."
"And it can also make the lives of the people of Wannian County a little better······"
"Okay, since you have decided, my uncle should also support your decision."
"Tomorrow, my uncle will start to play Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will also be happy about it."
Cheng Yanjin stretched out his palm and was about to pat it on Lin Ran's shoulder.
Lin Ran, who had already suffered losses more than once, could not suffer from another palm this time.
A deft turn, just in time to dodge the blazing palm that bites the gold.
"Uncle, I'll go get busy first."
Lin Ran saw that Cheng Biting Jin had signs of not giving up until he reached his goal, so he quickly turned around and ran.
provoked Cheng Biting Jin to laugh behind him.
This doll! It's so lovely.
Cheng Bites Jin after dinner, and still does not forget the appointment with his wife in the evening.
Riding a tall horse, carrying the juice and ice cubes prepared by Lin Ran.
Meizizi rushed to Chang'an City.
Those who are happy in their hearts are beautiful when they see everything.
Today's Cheng Biting Jin looks at the stars and the moon are incomparably beautiful.
Thanks to his limited literary talent, otherwise at this moment, he should be given a poem.
In order to express the feeling of the bearish heart...
"Master, it's hard to ride over so late..."
Mrs. Su Guo took the juice handed over by Jin and said softly.
"Madame, horseback riding is harder..."
"Still, wait a minute... Madam... body, it will be comfortable... Serve a lot. ”
Cheng bit Jin cheekily said.
In an instant, Mrs. Su Guo couldn't raise her head shyly.
"Master, it's getting more and more serious..."
"Haha... Ha ha... Lao Tzu sows seeds in his own field, what is there to be embarrassed about..."
After speaking, Cheng Biting Jin opened his blazing palm and dodged over!
It was another indescribably fierce fight.
Even the stars in the sky widened their eyes with curiosity.
I tried to see the indescribable scene in this world.
Unfortunately, the distance is too far, and it is estimated that they can't see clearly.
Even if you see it clearly, you don't know what game people are playing!
"Master, don't be so vigorous..."
"The concubine body is again..."
Mrs. Su Guo murmured softly.
"Madam, is that true?"
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he was really much more careful.
If the speed was 12 miles per hour, at least it would have been reduced to 60 miles now!
"Master, the concubine body just asked the doctor to check the pulse at noon today."
"The doctor said it was Ximai..."
Mrs. Su Guo replied truthfully.
"Good, good, very good..."
"I thought that either my seed was gone, or my wife's land was broken..."
"Looks like we're both fine, haha... Haha..."
"It's really a lot of hard work, a lot of harvest..."
Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed and continued to increase his horsepower.
"Old man......"
"It's okay, it's only been a few days, it's safe."
"Madam, don't worry, I can still trust Lao Cheng..."
Cheng Biting Jin said, not forgetting the frequency and movement of movement.
Mrs. Suguo's voice soon became a different voice...
In the silence of the night, it seems so pleasant to the ear.
More and more, Cheng Biting Jin is full of endless abilities and strength!
Early in the morning of the second day, the radiant Cheng Yanjin put on his official uniform under the service of his wife.
Today he is going to the Hall of Virtue to report to His Majesty and explain his mission.
What he thought was a difficult task was easily solved by him.
To be honest, Lin Ran should have taken the initiative to help him complete it.
And it's overdone.
"Su Guogong, why didn't you go to Wannian County today to help Zhuang Yuanlang harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
"Isn't it already harvested?"
His Majesty Li Er, who had just gone to the court, saw Cheng Biting Jin standing above the court, and immediately asked with concern.
"Back to Your Majesty's words... The end of the day will be the annunciation. ”
Cheng bit Jin respectfully saluted and spoke.
"Oh, where does the joy come from? Tell the festival quickly and listen to me. ”
Originally, Cheng Yanjin could go to the imperial study alone to report to His Majesty.
But this hero is Lin Ran!
He must support Lin Ran!
If it weren't for Lin Ran, Madame would have been scattered and would have died.
There's also the joy of his nightly exercise.
So he made up his mind that he must make a contribution to Lin Ran in front of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, Lin Ran, the champion of Linjia Village, is willing to bear the taxes of the entire Wannian County for himself."
"All taxes will be paid to the state treasury."
"......"
Cheng Biting Jin's voice landed, and the ministers gasped.
His Majesty Li Er held back the ecstasy in his heart, and asked with a calm face.
"Knowing the festival can know the true thoughts of the champion in his heart?"
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he immediately understood what His Majesty meant.
That's for him to hurry up and take advantage of the opportunity to praise the champion.
"Your Majesty, Zhuang Yuanlang said that one person who is rich is not rich. A county is not rich..."
"Only when a country is rich can it be truly rich."
"Champion Lang, tell the last general. Next year, the entire area around Chang'an City will be planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes. ”
"In the next year, the entire Datang will be popularized and promoted, so that the people can eat enough and not be hungry, which is the truest idea in Zhuang Yuanlang's heart......"
Cheng Biting Jin's words made the entire court instantly shocked.
They believe that Cheng Yanjin can't make up such words.
It must be the original words of the champion.
A young man with such a sense of family and country has been sought by kings since ancient times.
Such talents are also hard to come by.
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he was instantly moved and almost lost the majesty of the king.
He knew that what Su Guogong said must be Lin Gongzi's original words.
In the case of the powerful people of the family who think of the court, the performance of selfishness.
Usually pretending to be poor, the emptiness of the treasury also shows a look of powerlessness.
But when it came time to really need money for the treasure they fancied, they had more money than anyone else.
Zhengyuan Festival himself took out two glass treasure mirrors, not to mention.
Some time ago, the glass wine glass in the Crystal City was auctioned at a sky-high price that shocked the whole city.
It's rich people like them.
for the interests of the country.
to the suffering of the people.
It's never a matter of asking.
Even if he asked, he was pretending to be crazy and stupid.
Like an iron rooster, you can't pull out the last hair!
There is no harm without contrast.
So the two are compared.
His Majesty Li Er now has the heart to kill.
However, as he was also from a family, he knew that it was not yet time for a showdown.
After all, I have too few cards in my hand.
At present, we can only focus on the overall situation as Lin Gongzi said last time.
He has just ascended the throne and is waiting to be rebuilt, and it is time to work hard.
Now Lin Ran is using his own way to provide all the help that can be provided to him, the king.
His Majesty Li Er is convinced of this.
For more than a year, if it weren't for Lin Ran.
The emptiness of the treasury alone was enough for him to be overwhelmed.
Not to mention floods, droughts, locust plagues, and snow plagues.
Lin Ran promised five years to train a large number of national pillars for him.
It is precisely because of this that His Majesty Li Er will give it a go and give the Jinke champion as the village head for the first time in history.
"Good, good, very good······"
His Majesty Li Er shouted three good words in a row.
The ministers, who had not spoken for a long time, who were shocked, also reacted completely.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, Zhuang Yuanlang is dedicated to the country and the people. When the reward ······ is heavy"
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling came out of class in a timely manner.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal..."
Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the ministry, followed closely.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal..."
Even the imperial historian Wei Zheng also came out to second.
The hearts of the people want.
It is said that the eyes of the masses are bright.
In fact, the eyes of the ministers are also bright.
There is righteousness in the world, and justice is in the hearts of the people.
Many ministers, especially those from humble backgrounds.
A minister who grew up bitterly from snacks.
They were more likely to be moved by Lin Ran's actions.
People who have not experienced poverty and suffering.
Never know what it's like to be poor.
They never know a piece of bread, a bowl of rice porridge.
Importance to the people.
I never know that the greatest happiness and desire of the people at the bottom is just to fill their stomachs.
What a poignant truth.
His Majesty Li Er looked around at these ministers who had come out to ask for credit for Lin Ran.
He was glad that these were the right-hand men he relied on.
are all the ministers of the humerus that he values very much.
"All the Aiqing are flat..."
His Majesty Li Er said to the courtiers who were still respectfully out of class to give salutes.
"The reward of the champion, I can only keep it in my heart first."
"Because he has an agreement with me, and when the deadline for this agreement is reached, I will naturally reward him again."
"Wannian County ordered Zhu Chao to have meritorious service under the rule, and the official was promoted to three levels..."
His Majesty Li Er's words were tantamount to dropping a bombshell in the court again.
Blow up the ministers in a daze.
The previous Wannian county commander is now the crown prince and the prince.
He is a first-class minister of the DPRK and China, although he has no real power, he is also an enviable existence.
Now His Majesty wants to directly reward and promote Zhu Chao, the current Wannian County Commander.
The ministers were like a mirror in their hearts, and all of this was inseparable from that champion.
The news soon spread throughout Chang'an City, and it spread to Wannian County like a wind.
Until the time of the Divine Decree.
Zhu Chao was still like a dream.
I have been working in Wannian County for less than a year, and I have been promoted to three levels in a row like a rocket.
Even if it was a dream, he didn't dare to do it.
In the end, Zhu Chao, who knew the truth, came to Linjia Village in person.
Just like a student visiting a teacher, he went to visit Lin Ran's family.
Lin Ran was not surprised at all by His Majesty Li Er's vigorous promotion of Zhu Chao.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be a way to upgrade three levels in a row.
"Champion Lang, in the future, above the court, this official will definitely make every effort to maintain the integrity of Champion Lang."
Zhu Chao's words can also be regarded as showing his mind in advance.
No matter what, all the actions of the young man in front of him are great things and good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people.
Such a teenager deserves respect and support.
Such a young man, the road in the future will be a smooth road, once he steps into the court, he will be like a bamboo, invincible.
"Zhu County's order is serious, and it is better to support each other in the future."
"Many friends and many roads, as long as it is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, Zhu County ordered Dan Dan to open his mouth, and my son will definitely help."
Lin Ran's words made Zhu Chao smile when he left.
Dealing with smart people is really the most worry-free and least tiring.
The news that Zhuang Yuanlang paid taxes for all the people of Wannian County.
Soon it spread among the people of Wannian County.
Many of the older people were in tears.
People who have struggled all their lives on the line of poverty and hunger.
This year is finally a good year.
This year there is food, there is money.
Even the taxes have been paid.
All of a sudden, the burden of life was lightened a lot.
made many of the originally rickety bodies suddenly show signs of straightening their waists.
These bodies bent by life have never felt so relaxed······
Soon with the help of the Zuo Wuwei army.
All the potatoes and sweet potatoes in Wannian County have been harvested.
Cheng Yanjin personally escorted Lin Ran's taxes and transported them to Chang'an City.
Horse-drawn carts loaded with potatoes and sweet potatoes entered Chang'an.
The eyes of the people were all wide open.
His Majesty Li Er led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him at the gate of the city in person.
Everyone's faces were filled with shock and joy.
Hubu Shangshu was even more excited and burst into tears.
So much food, I've never seen so much food.
Whether the treasury can be loaded at this time is a big question mark.
Cheng Yanjin personally sent a few cleaned sweet potatoes to His Majesty Li Er respectfully.
"Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, Wannian County has enjoyed a bumper harvest this year."
"Please taste the joy of the harvest and rejoice with the people······"
"Haha... Haha··· Well, what Zhijie said is very true. ”
"I, as the king of a country, should be happy with the people."
His Majesty Li Er was happy, smiling and taking the sweet potato in Jin's hand.
"Quack"
I took a bite of a small half.
He misses the taste of this sweet potato very much.
It's been more than half a year since I first tasted it last year.
"Delicious... It's crunchy and sweet..."
"God bless me Datang..."
His Majesty Li Er remembered what Lin Ran had said at the beginning.
A deep smile rippled across his face.
"Zhijie, let the ministers also taste the taste of this sweet potato."
"I should rejoice with my ministers today."
His Majesty Li Er commanded happily.
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at the sweet potato in Cheng Yanjin's hand with bright eyes.
In particular, Wei Chi Jingde, the general of the Right Wuhou, couldn't wait for a long time.
His Majesty Li Er's words landed, and he reached out his palm, which was as big as a fan, and snatched one from Cheng Yanjin's hand.
Take a bite and chew it.
"Sweet, so fucking sweet."
"Crispy, fucking crispy."
Wei Chi Jingde's expression of satisfaction provoked Cheng Yanjin to turn around and scold with a smile.
"Fuck you, it's a little brittle, don't you get ······"
"You have to go around this bend."
"Come, Uncle Bao, old cow. If you two don't eat it, you have to let this Wei Chi Dasha clean Huo Huo······"
After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he gave Qin Shubao and Niu Jinda, and each of them threw over a clean sweet potato.
"For the rest, let them eat the ones with mud."
Cheng Yanjin said with his head held high triumphantly.
Anyway, I washed so much myself.
Those ministers can eat if they want, and wash the mud themselves.
Or wipe it off on your official uniform.
Cheng Yanjin believes that in front of His Majesty Li Er, no one dares to wipe sweet potatoes with official robes.
Unless he wants to go home and retire.
His Majesty Li Er watched Cheng Yanjin's every move, and shook his head helplessly.
"Since the number of sweet potatoes washed in the Zhijie Festival today is limited, tomorrow in the Hall of Virtue, I will ask the attendant to bring the washed sweet potatoes to the Hall of Virtue."
"During the early dynasty, I let everyone Aiqing taste the taste of this sweet potato."
Since His Majesty has spoken.
The ministers had to put away their hot eyes.
All kinds of jealousy and envy looked at Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda and others.
Unscrupulously feasting on the sidelines.
As for what's going on in your heart?
Only they know.
Cheng Yanjin didn't care about the eyes of these people.
As long as His Majesty supports him, these people really can't move him at all.
What's more, he also has such a few good brothers who are great generals.
Neither is jealous.
According to the explanation of His Majesty Li Er.
The chamberlain sent the washed sweet potatoes to the East Palace Prince's Mansion and Princess Changle respectively.
and the other princes and princesses sent a little each.
Of course, all concubines are also essential.
In short, today's Taiji Palace, each palace has a kind of fresh food.
The crisp sweet taste of sweet potatoes.
They were all very happy to taste it.
Princess Changle even nibbled on a few in a row, but still refused to give up.
The taste of sweet potatoes spreads in the mouth.
What appeared in front of Changle's eyes was Lin Ran's figure.
If there is no such boy.
Where will you find the food in front of you today, for everyone to enjoy.
Where there will be ice cubes to cool yourself off.
Where will there be juice for yourself to drink every day.
It's a pity that I can't see him every day.
It would be nice to be able to be with him every day, even if it was to see him once a day, or to see him once.
