Yu Hong wanted to see how the injury on his back was and whether he could start practicing his skills, but the scar distracted him. Although as a man, he doesn't pay attention to his appearance, but he still has to pay attention to it for the future.

Picking up the table, Yun Shu took the scarring ointment to him, looked at the mirror, and applied it with difficulty.

Yan Shizhen finished dispensing the medicine, handed it to Ying Niang, and asked her to send it to the Li family. Stretching his waist, he came to Yunshu's door and patted the door, "Mei'er? ”

"Is there something wrong with my father-in-law?" The cloud tree is separated by a doorway.

"Do you need your father's help?" Yan Shizhen said tentatively.

"Nope." Yunshu said decisively.

Yun Shu didn't feel anything, but Yan Shizhen saw her abnormal actions. In the past, when she knocked on the door, she would welcome her out with joy, instead of saying a few words through the door like this, with a tone of rejection.

"Then I'm in."

"Okay."

Yan Shizhen pushed open the door and found that Yun Shu was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for things, several large bookcases were all opened, and there were books everywhere on the table, stool, and ground. Yun Shu held a candle and leaned in front of a bookcase to read something.

"Mei'er, what are you doing?"

"Looking for a book."

"What kind of book are you looking for, and you can put the house like this?" Yan Shizhen looked at the stacks of books in the room, but each stack was neatly stacked, but the angles were perfectly avoided to make people put their feet.

Yun Shu turned his head, took a candle to shine it, and smiled, "There are too many books, it's hard to find, I didn't pay attention to it for a while, I didn't want to make such a mess of the house." ”

"Did you find it?"

"Found it."

"I'll take a look at what book you're looking for." Yan Shizhen moved out a few places and stepped to Yunshu's side.

There were a few books on the corner of the bookcase, Yan Shizhen picked them up and approached the candle in Yun Shu's hand. "The Book of Victory" and "The Order of the Four Peoples", what are you holding in your hand?"

"Qi Min's Technique." Yun Shu handed the book to Yan Shizhen. "When I came, I thought I would grow something, so I brought a few agricultural books from the library. But I forgot which book to stuff, and it took me a long time to find it. ”

"These are rare books, your Yun family's century-old collection of books, gathering the efforts of several generations, precious ones are not good, they are placed by you like this? Are you a reader? ”

"What the father-in-law taught me was that my eyebrows were ashamed. I was in a hurry to find a book. Yunshu bared his teeth.

"What are you going to plant?"

"Plant crops." Yun Shu put the book around him back into the bookcase, and put the candlestick in his hand on the low stool.

"What a nerd, he grows crops and looks for ways in books."

Yunshu scratched his head, "I can't help it, Haibo said that Yueji is very lively, and you can live by inserting a branch, but the few branches I inserted are all dead, and I am also very depressed." ”

"Why do you suddenly want to grow crops?"

Cloud Tree stared at the dancing flames.

"I deeply understand why my father-in-law hates a rich man like me. I was also a little confused about how to deal with myself. I think of the little emperor, he is rich in the world, how does he deal with himself? Today's matter of the Li family, I feel that the little emperor and I have to bear part of the responsibility. I am not as high as a temple, I am in the depths of the rivers and lakes, and the rivers, lakes and seas are around me. I felt the need for me to do something for them. ”

Yan Shizhen saw that she interpreted "If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king", although it does not meet the standard answer, it can be regarded as a unique thought.

"What do you want to do?"

Yun Shu said worriedly: "Actually, I haven't figured it out yet. Tenants make a living from farming, but they can't support their families. I'm thinking that my Yun family's rent tax is too much? Or is the yield per acre of the field too low? Or is it something else? ”

Yan Shizhen patted his head, "It's my father-in-law who was negligent." Your master is not only good at arching and riding horses, but also good at governing the army and the people! ”

Hearing this, Yun Shu's eyes widened with excitement, "Master is really a savior!" "Pull your legs and run out.

Yan Shizhen was a little disappointed and packed up the books all over the floor. "I really have a master, and I forgot my father."

Yun Shu heard his father-in-law's little complaints, turned around again, and leaned on Yan Shizhen's back to coquettishly, "Master is good as Master, and Stepfather is good as Stepfather, both are irreplaceable." How could Mei'er forget her father-in-law because she had a master? ”

Yan Shizhen pulled her off her back, "Oh, I really hope that you will grow younger and smaller, and when you become a little milk doll, your father-in-law can hold you all day long, coax you, and no one can snatch it away." ”

Yun Shu hugged Yan Shizhen's neck and grinned, "The father-in-law is a child who needs to be coaxed. Don't worry, Mei'er will coax my father-in-law well, and let my father-in-law teach me all his life's learning, so that I can take better care of my father-in-law. ”

Yan Shizhen was coaxed into laughter and patted Yunshu's back, "Okay, okay, let's go." Father-in-law helps you pack up this room full of books. ”

Yun Shu suddenly thought of something, let go of Yan Shizhen's neck, and said seriously: "These days, Mei'er can feel that his father-in-law takes care of Mei'er as a little daughter. Mei'er is very willing to be her father-in-law's little padded jacket, but has the father-in-law ever thought about marrying a wife and giving birth to a daughter who is close to her blood relatives? Afraid that Yan Shizhen would misunderstand, he explained again, "It's not a vain speculation about the father-in-law's love for Mei'er, Mei'er really hopes to take care of his father-in-law and make his father-in-law's life full and happy." ”

"Aren't you afraid that after your father-in-law has a daughter, he will be distracted and won't be able to take care of you like this anymore?" Yan Shizhen is a serious person.

Yun Shu didn't think of this question, he was stunned, and covered the slight loss in his eyes, "As long as the father-in-law can be happier, Mei'er will be happy for the father-in-law." ”

"Silly eyebrows, my father-in-law teased you. The father-in-law doesn't want another daughter, because there won't be a better daughter than Mei'er! The father-in-law still guards Mei'er well, lest someone rush with me to be Mei'er's father-in-law. Yan Shizhen hugged the cloud tree like a treasure.

Yun Shu was amused by Yan Shizhen's words, "The stepfather is joking again, how can anyone rush to be the stepfather of Mei'er?" ”

It's just that neither of them knew that not long after, Yan Shizhen's joke came true.

"What do you say? So happy? ”

The small courtyard couldn't hide the laughter, Xin Tanzhi was attracted to it, and when he saw the room full of books, he was all excited. "I'm so bored these days, I didn't even know that there were so many books in the Mei'er House!"

"I see that you help me study the things that will explode every day, it's very fulfilling, what's boring?"

"I knew there was a room full of books to read, so I wouldn't be fooling around with you in the backyard."

"You wait for me to figure it out, and you'll regret what you said today!"

"We'll talk about it then!"

Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two adults and children arguing between his father-in-law and his master.

"Well, your master has thrown himself into the net, if you have any questions, ask them quickly." Yan Shizhen instigated.

"Oh? What's wrong with Mei'er? Xin Tanzhi stopped reading the book in his hand.

"The father-in-law said that the master is a good hand at governing the army and the people. Mei'er wants to ask the teacher, how to increase the grain yield of my Yun family's thousands of acres of fertile land? Making the lives of tenants better? It would be even better if I could make my Yun family richer at the same time! ”

"Tsk, greed. Mei'er, as a landlord, actually the heart of the county master? Cupidity. Xin Tanzhi shook his head, as if he was disgusted and admired.

"Isn't it bad to be greedy? It's just a chance for you, Master, to show off your talents! Yan Shizhen defended Yunshu.

"Since you say that I am a good hand at governing the army and the people, I will show my eyebrows today." Xin Tanzhi Chong Yan Shizhen raised his eyebrows, and said to Yun Shu, "Mei'er, call your senior brother over and start the class together." ”

"Yes, Master." Yunshu ran out in a puff of smoke.

After Yunshu called Yu Hong over, Xin Tanzhi handed over the few military books he had just collected to Yu Hong. "Study it well, and ask questions if you don't understand something."

Yu Hong took the book, "Yes, Master." ”

"It's good to borrow flowers and offer Buddha?" Regarding Xin Tanzhi's partiality, Yan Shizhen couldn't help but sarcastically.

Xin Tanzhi was really damaged by Yan Shi, and said to Yun Shu with a thick face: "Make the best use of things, right, Mei'er?" ”

"What Master said is that it is excellent to make the best use of things. These books were collected by Mei'er's ancestors with a lot of painstaking efforts, and if they were someone else, I would never borrow them. Master and Brother are not outsiders, so whatever they want to read, just take them and read them. The generosity of these books not only shows the hard-won and importance of these books, but also shows the attitude, and most importantly, the attitude of both the master and the father-in-law.

Xin Tanzhi couldn't help but re-examine this little apprentice, and said in his heart: If you want to deal with people, if Hong'er can be like Mei'er, it will be reassuring.

"Sure enough, it's a good apprentice of the master, Shizhen and Hong'er, you should learn from Mei'er."

Yan Shizhen frowned, "Let's start the class quickly, I've listened to your teachings, hurry up and talk about something useful." ”

Xin Tanzhi glanced at the three of them and gently spit out two words, "Borrow." ”

"What's the borrowing method?"

"The reform that is being implemented today is a general trend. The fundamental purpose of the reform is to achieve national prosperity and peace and security, and in such an environment, taking advantage of the situation can not only get policy support, but if it is done well, Meier can also have a certain amount of political support in Qinghe County in the future. ”

"Master, Mei'er doesn't understand."

"Mei'er, how are your fields distributed?"

Yun Shu thought for a while, "Except for the four hundred acres outside Jiyang City, the rest are in Qinghe County, and this Baishu Village is one of them. ”

Xin Tanzhi guided in an orderly manner, "When Master was quelling the rebellion in Nanfan, he didn't like the local armed groups to fight against the officials and troops the most. Even if they are subdued, this kind of armed force must be dispersed, otherwise it will be transformed into a force against the official army under the change. And when Master was transferred to Anyuan County to govern the people, he liked that the local big households supported the political measures I promoted. If the local landlords are willing to support me, I will also give them some preferential treatment. Mei'er understands, how to take advantage of the situation? ”

"Uh-huh." Yunshu nodded, his head spinning rapidly. "As a people under the rule, you can observe the will of the people and meet the will of the people, and you can last longer. Isn't it Master? ”

"Huh? The meaning is not wrong, but this is a little weird to hear. ”

Yan Shizhen couldn't help but smile, and even Yu Hong slightly hooked the corners of his lips.

"Master, I have a question."

"You say."

"My father-in-law and my brother and I went to Li's house today for a consultation. The wasteland that the Li family's father and son worked hard to cultivate, but they had to be taxed, and Li Jiushan, who couldn't afford the taxes, drowned his own daughter several times. Is this reform inadequate, or is it my fault? ”
