Chapter 123 Life··· It's like a big river (bless the motherland, bless book friends, happy double festival)
"Hurry up, there must be progress in salt production."
His Majesty Li Er stood up excitedly in the imperial study and spoke.
"Li Zhenwei, a personal soldier under the command of General Zuo Wuwei, see Your Majesty..."
Li Zhenwei entered the imperial study under the leadership of Mr. Huang and immediately paid homage.
"I'm tired from running all the way, is there any progress in salt production?"
His Majesty Li Er said gently.
"Your Majesty's Shengming, thanks to Your Majesty's Hongfu, today's refined salt has been successfully purified. This is the freshly purified salt sent by Shang Shu and the Great General. ”
After Li Zhenwei finished speaking, he untied the backpack on his body, and a large bag of refined salt of white flowers was presented in front of His Majesty Li Er, shining the entire imperial study like a white sun······
"Okay, okay, it's finally done... It's finally been..."
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were wet with excitement for a moment, and the shortage of salt for tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in Datang will begin to become history from today.
As the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, can His Majesty Li Er not be excited?
His Majesty Li Er, who was in a happy mood, was also very hard working in Penglai Hall tonight.
until Concubine Shu begged for mercy again and again and admitted defeat, and she was willing to disarm and withdraw her troops······
On the morning of the second day, the ministers saw His Majesty Li Er with a look of joy with a look of darkness under his eyes.
I know this, and the night is not less hard.
"Manager Huang, open the cloth bag for the civil and military officials to see, the credit of Du Shangshu and General Cheng."
After His Majesty Li Er sat down, he immediately spoke.
So the ministers saw the refined salt of the snowflakes in the cloth bag opened by Mr. Huang.
"·····"
The hall was filled with gasps, such a white and flawless table salt that they had never seen before.
Except for a few important ministers such as Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, Shangshu Changsun Wuji, and Imperial Historian Wei Zheng, the others did not know anything about refining refined salt.
It can be seen how much effort and painstaking effort His Majesty Li Er has spent on this.
Looking at the shocked looks of the ministers one after another, His Majesty Li Er had a sense of accomplishment.
He had completely forgotten what he looked like when he saw this snowflake of salt in Linjia Village.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty... From now on, Datang will no longer endure the pain of lack of salt, and His Majesty will bless the people······"
The ministers sang praises in unison, which made His Majesty Li Er very useful.
Every day in the future, soldiers will continue to transport the purified salt to Chang'an.
His Majesty Li Er listened to the suggestion of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and put salt on the market of Chang'an City for the people to buy.
For a time, the sky-high price of salt in Chang'an City became history.
The income from the imperial court's salt also poured into the treasury like a tidal wave.
Let His Majesty Li Er wake up with a smile when he dreams at night.
"Your Highness, you see that the potatoes are growing taller and taller."
Cuizhu had just watered the potatoes and happily reported to Princess Changle.
"Really? I'll take a look. ”
Changle trotted all the way, looking at the two wooden barrels of potatoes he had planted, and sure enough, more than a dozen potato seedlings were struggling to grow.
Much taller than the other day.
Princess Changle looked at the seedlings in the bucket with a smile, as if she had seen the harvest season, and her little face was full of excitement and joy.
Recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always come to Princess Changle's palace if he has nothing to do.
He said that he came to visit Changle, but in fact, he would ask for a few fries every time, and then leave beautifully.
When Changle found that his delicious food was getting less and less, he no longer served fries every time the prince came.
Princess Changle, who is more and more cautious, the most pleasant thing every day is to walk in her palace with a French fries in her mouth, loosen the soil for potatoes, water them, and watch them grow up day by day, making Changle's mood more beautiful day by day.
At this moment, the little princess really looks like a happy little princess.
Princess Changle, doesn't it mean long-term happiness?
The new house in Linjia Village is about to be topped out.
For more than three months, they worked from summer to autumn, during which they spent an important festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The potatoes in the fields have begun to bloom with white flowers.
Every white flower seems to be a sweet smiling face, waiting for the joy of harvest.
The fat pigs that grew up in the pigsty were slaughtered one after another, and if it weren't for the continuous replenishment of piglets, and the slaughter continued according to this momentum, there would be no more pork to eat in Linjia Village during the New Year.
The eggs in the chicken coop were also taken out by Lin Ran without hesitation to improve the food for the soldiers and villagers who participated in the construction of the new house.
Heavy physical labor, without nutritional supplements, is very easy to crush the human body.
The high-level intellectuals who once lived in the 21st century are well aware of this truth.
The new house in Linjia Village is like a castle, and it looks like a circular castle from a distance.
The outside was heavily wrapped by the heavy city wall, and Lin Ran did not design four entrances and exits for the convenience of the villagers.
Instead, there is only one entrance and exit in the direction of the rising sun.
After coming in, there is a huge square, and the villagers' meetings, happy events and funerals are all here, after all, except for Lao Liu and Lao Xu, the rest of the Linjia Village are from their own people.
The square was surrounded by the new homes that Lin Ran had built for the soldiers, and as the soldiers who had been integrated with the Lin Family Village, Lin Ran made them feel at home for the first time.
The room in the middle of the square is used for receiving visitors in the future and for Lin Ran's weekday office.
In the deepest part of the square, there are more than a dozen bright houses, which are classrooms for students.
Starting from the whole square around, the new houses of the villagers are scattered one by one from the square to the west, south and north.
In the future, from the nearest one to the farthest one, the distance is only about 500 meters.
The villagers were very satisfied with the overall design, and they didn't expect Lin Ran to even consider how to pile up and dispose of the garbage.
Let them wonder how much new things are in the head of this nine-year-old little village chief?
As with the construction progress predicted by Lin Ran, the new house in Linjia Village was completely completed when the potatoes were about to be harvested.
At this time, it is almost the time for winter to come, and Sun's body has obviously shown signs of giving birth in the past few days.
Lin Ran asked the soldiers and villagers to use a pot fire to bake the moisture in each new room.
So in the happy expressions of the villagers, the relocation of the new home officially began.
There is no doubt that the first one at the east gate has undisputed the new residence of the village chief Lin Ran's family.
This is the largest courtyard in the entire Linjia Village, and Lin Ran designed rooms for the four little girls, so that the lotus flowers shouted happily and were excited. After all the new homes were moved, Lin Ran began to work on breeding and planting.
After all, this is a matter related to the vital interests of the villagers.
Recently, Lin Zhengtai was worried about Sun's body, and he also stopped going out to go out for medical treatment, after all, the child in Sun's belly is the most important.
Lin Ran invited the four most famous stable women in Wannian County, and they were always ready.
Wen Po has delivered babies all her life, and she has never seen such a generous person.
Entertained with delicious food and drink every day, and let them live in a brick house that they have never lived in in their lives.
The four little girls also knew that when it was the most important time, the usual laughter and slapstick were gone, and everyone took turns to stay by Mrs.'s side and observe Mrs.'s body at any time.
The calm night sky was broken by the shrill cry of the lotus.
"Master, son, madam's amniotic water has broken ......"
So this night's Linjia Village was simply sleepless all night.
Everywhere there was the sound of figures busy and running
Sound.
Sun's mournful voice alarmed the villagers of the entire Linjia Village.
Lin Ran finally knew that the clips in TV and movies in his previous life were not deceitful.
It turns out that giving birth to a child is really a very hard, very hard thing...
O mother of the world! How much pain to endure in a lifetime...
How much suffering do you have to endure, thinking of this, Lin Ran's eyes couldn't help but moisten...
In Lin Zhengtai's expectant eyes and anxious waiting, a loud cry came.
It made Lin Zhengtai tremble with excitement.
"Master, it's born, it's born... It's a chubby lady. ”
The lotus trotted all the way to give good news to Lin Zhengtai and Lin Ran.
"Okay, great. I Lin Zhengtai finally has a daughter, I go in to see Mrs. ”
Lin Zhengtai said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
"Master, you can't go in, Wen Po said that there is another one inside......"
Lotus's words made Lin Zhengtai and Lin Ran all stand on the spot.
"Lotus, do you mean Madame has another one in her belly? Is it a double stick? ”
Lin Zhengtai asked tremblingly.
"Yes, sir. Wen Po said it was a double bar······ I'm going to wait for my wife. ”
After speaking, the lotus turned around and ran to the delivery room, leaving Lin Zhengtai and his son, who were trembling with excitement outside.
"The ancestors of the Lin family have spirits in the sky, bless your daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, great-granddaughter-in-law, mother and son are safe······"
When Sun's cry of pain came again from the delivery room.
Lin Zhengtai folded his hands and prayed silently.
The last child wondered if he was reluctant to leave his mother's warm body, or if he was afraid of the cold air outside.
I have always been reluctant to come out and meet the world······
struggled until dawn, Sun had obviously exhausted the last trace of strength, and a cry of wow and wow cries came from the delivery room in the morning sun in the east.
"Sir, son. Born, born, this is a little boy. ”
Lotus trotted over with an excited face, and then spoke. "Madame is too weak and tired, and she has passed out."
When Lin Zhengtai and Lin Ran heard this, they rushed to the delivery room.
Lin Ran had never seen her mother look like this.
It was a haggard appearance that made people feel distressed and burst into tears.
After a whole night of suffering, the mother who collapsed still had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, maybe she knew that the child had come to the world smoothly······
Lin Ran burst into tears instantly, and there were no words to describe his current mood at this moment.
If life is like a big river, the mother is the source of this great river... A steady stream of energy and hope for life... (I'm sorry, I cried myself)
Lin Ran looked at his infant sister with tears in his eyes, and the naughty little brother who almost tossed his mother all night, the two children opened their eyes and looked at the world curiously, curiously looking at the strange and familiar big brother in front of them.
Lin Zhengtai also looked at the two children with tears in his eyes...
"Father, let the nurse hold it."
Lin Ran opened his mouth and said, as the largest rich man in the entire Wannian County and even in the entire Chang'an City, Lin Ran has enough funds to let his parents and younger siblings enjoy a different life.
The nurse was invited by Lin Ran to Hou San in Chang'an City.
"Okay, you all go down, I'll accompany Madame."
Lin Zhengtai said to Yahuan and Wen Po in the delivery room.
Lin Ran asked Hou San to wrap the happy money for Wen Po, and thanked them for their hard work, so that her mother could give birth smoothly.
"Father, the child is also out, you can accompany your mother."
Lin Ran said sensibly.
"Go ahead, kid. Don't delay the schoolwork of the children in a few villages. ”
Lin Ran turned around with a promise, closed the door of the house, and left this small world to his father and mother.
Lin Zhengtai held Sun's hand tightly.
"Cuihua, you have suffered, Zhengtai thank you, renew the bloodline for the old Lin family······"
Lin Zhengtai looked at the sleeping Sun with an infatuated face, and the tears of happiness, excitement, joy, and distress never stopped.
"Old man, are the children alright? Why are you crying? ”
Sun opened her eyes and saw Lin Zhengtai at the head of the bed, and she asked weakly.
"Cuihua, you're awake. It's so good, the children are very good, my daughter looks like you, my son is as handsome as me... I have been carried by the nurse to breastfeed. You're hungry, I'll let the lotus bring you a bowl of ginseng soup······"
The lotus brought the ginseng soup that had been prepared a long time ago.
Lin Zhengtai carefully personally delivered a spoonful to Sun's mouth, and the relationship between husband and wife can be sublimated at this moment.
At almost the same time on the same day, in the mansion of the prince and master Wu Puguang in Chang'an City, a baby's cry woke up the entire Taishi Mansion.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
Wang Yan struggled to look at the child.
"Congratulations to Madame for being a little boy." Wen Po happily replied.
"Master, it's a boy, our son is back ······"
Wang Yan seemed to use all her strength to shout outside the door.
At this moment, the crown prince and master Wu Puguang have cried into a tearful person... From the moment the baby croaked to the ground, his tears never stopped.
"Madam, it's our son who has returned, and you see it's still the same as before·····"
Wu Puguang carefully hugged the child in front of Wang Yan.
The little boy looked curiously at the father and mother he saw when he opened his eyes in this world, and his little eyes fluttered.
"He's smiling at me······"
Wang Yan said with tears of joy in her choked voice.
"Yes, ma'am, he's smiling at us······"
The pain of years of losing a child finally got some comfort at the moment of the birth of a new life.
This new life is destined to receive more love and hope from Wu Puguang and Wang Yan.
Lin Ran's planting and breeding plan is being carried out in an orderly manner.
The original dwellings were simply renovated and used for raising pigs, chickens and sheep.
In a large area near the camps and ponds in the back mountain, the greenhouses built by Lin Ran and the soldiers are under construction.
Of course, bricks can no longer be used in the construction of greenhouses, and bricks that have not been fired can be used directly. It not only saves costs but also benefits the growth of vegetables.
At this time, Lin Ran let the villagers harvest the rice stalks left behind to be of great use.
Lin Ran asked the villagers to lay the rice stalks layer by layer on the top of the shed, and then sprinkle sand on top of the rice stalks.
When the villagers knew that this was the place to grow vegetables this winter, all of them opened their eyes in disbelief.
Can you grow vegetables in winter?
The little village chief really has a magical head.
Lin Ran was noncommittal to their doubts, after all, such a thing would not be seen with their own eyes.
Otherwise, basically, they won't believe it if they are killed.
The old man in winter, with the bitter north wind, whistling and greeting people.
The potatoes in the four villages were harvested, and the full pile of potatoes and eggs was as tall and large as a mountain.
The children were jumping and jumping around the potatoes.
The adults' faces were filled with tears of excitement and joy.
There is so much food, even if they eat it in a few villages, they can't eat it all for a lifetime.
The three village chiefs of Mengjia Village, Lijia Village, and Zhaojia Village received the rent of their three villages and the grain compensated by Lin Ran from Lin Ran.
The three of them were so excited that they didn't know what to say, if it weren't for Lin Ran, most of the people in their village would have to leave their homeland and go to escape the famine.
This year, not only did I have food, but I also had so many copper coins that I had never dreamed of.
Let the villagers of the three villages be grateful to Linjia Village.
The villagers are braving the cold wind and putting the finishing touches on the greenhouse.
According to Lin Ran's estimate, the entire greenhouse base will be completed in less than three days.
At that time, of course, there will be a series of work, which needs to be continued by the villagers.
"There seems to be a girl on the avenue, not from our village, but there are more and more people coming to our Linjia Village to find a husband recently, what our village chief said, all of them have been realized in advance, it is really a girl from ten miles and eight townships who broke her head and married in Linjia Village······"
Tie Dan spoke.
"Tiedan, maybe your daughter-in-law is back. You kid has always looked down on the girl who came on a blind date, I'm afraid you still have that little girl in mind, right? ”
Lin Li raised his head and teased.
"I really miss her a little bit, if there can be such a day at that time, as for freezing her away? It's all forced by reality······"
Iron Egg replied in annoyance.
"Will the daughter-in-law who ran away come back? I don't believe it. ”
The big head said coldly, striking at the little enthusiasm that Tie Dan had just ignited.
"Iron eggs, iron eggs. Dog Day Come Home······ Your daughter-in-law is back······"
Iron Egg's father ran trembling all the way and said.
"Ahhh Really back? ”
"Fuck you, when did Lao Tzu lie to you, hurry up and go back to Lao Tzu, people are still waiting for you to reply on the avenue. Hurry up and bring Lao Tzu home, and I'll do it to Lao Tzu tonight, or Lao Tzu will break your dog's legs······"
Iron Egg's father almost took the bricks on the ground and smashed them over.
When Tie Dan heard this, he spread his feet and ran down the avenue.
"Yuzhi, you're finally willing to come back..."
Tie Dan ran to the girl's side in one breath and said breathlessly.
"You don't want me, come back, then I'll go..."
Miss Yuzhi replied with a pair of big watery eyes.
"I think, I always dreamed that you would come back, walk home, our house is fine now, you can rest assured that the slightest wind will not blow in······"
Tie Dan said with a cheap smile.
The little girl who shivered in the cold winter, and her big watery eyes were full of tears, was the eternal pain in Tie Zhu's heart.
Yuzhi's running away from home, Tie Danwei really couldn't hate it, because the family was too poor, there was no food or drink, and there was no warm quilt and a decent house, why did the girl suffer this big crime with herself, so Yuzhi ran back to her hometown in a rage.
Now that the eternal pain in my heart has returned, how can I not make Tie Zhu excited.
"Yuzhi, I'll go to the village chief to ask for a pig's head meat, and a pot of wine, let's have a good meal and drink tonight."
Yuzhi shyly followed Tie Dan to his home.
"Why isn't it the home it used to be?"
Yuzhi found that Tie Dan was taking the wrong route, and asked in confusion.
"It's really time for you to come, our family has just built a new house, isn't this just for you."
"Liar, where do you have the money to build a new house?"
"Money is just a number for me Tie Dan now, and when my father-in-law and mother-in-law are old, tell them that I Tie Dan will raise them."
Iron Dan looked like a stinky fart and spoke.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true... You see, we've arrived. ”
Yuzhi covered her mouth in surprise, and what came into her eyes was a brand new house, and it was a house made of red bricks that she had never seen before.
"Is this really our house?"
Yuzhi had an expression of disbelief, but she heard her parents say that Linjia Village was better, so she asked herself to come back and take a look.
I never thought that Linjia Village would be so good, I knew that I shouldn't have left in the first place, poor couples are called husband and wife, and I don't know if Tie Dan holds a grudge against himself.
"This is our room, you wait here, I'll give you the whole drink."
After Tie Dan finished speaking, he rushed to the square, and Lin Ran's distribution of things was carried out in the square.
I happened to run into my dad who was returning home.
"Stinky boy, why didn't you accompany your daughter-in-law, why did you run out?"
Iron Daddy glared at the two big eyeballs and said.
"Dad, I'm going to order some food."
Tie Dan replied truthfully.
"Clean up those who don't have it, it's important to hurry up and do that, Lao Tzu is still waiting to hold his grandson."
"Yes, Dad. I'll just drink some wine and ······."
Tie Dan twisted Ying Chengdao.
"What the hell can you do if you're so bold, what can you do? Be bold, you know? ”
The old man is a thousand and ten thousand, and he is not at ease. "By the way, don't fucking drink too much, you can't do anything if you drink too much."
"Dad, don't worry, I'll just take a sip to strengthen my courage, and then what... Pounce on ······"
Tie Dan replied with a smile.
