It is the New Year in the first month, and the people are visiting relatives and friends, eating, drinking and having fun, but there are also people who are busy with their work, Yu Xiuer and these actors of the art troupe will not talk about it, the children of Jiuyuan County School are also following these adults to run one by one, while spreading the knowledge they have mastered to the outside world, they themselves also have some new understanding of these knowledge, of course, in the purse, the red envelopes that are also stuffed by local officials, which at least proves that what they learn is very economically valuable.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, they will be in the banquet hall on the first floor of the Daming Palace, showing all the officials above the seventh grade in Chang'an some of the items performed at the Spring Festival garden party, of course, in terms of animation, there will be three short films on display.

On the wharf in Jinan County, hundreds of big ships docked at the wharf in turn, and tens of thousands of laborers transported by Tanmo Road went ashore here, which was the labor used by the imperial court to compensate for the cost of the second batch of grain, among them, Yingzhou produced more grain, accounting for seventy percent of the total number.

On the wharf, there are also many hundreds of laborers dressed in the popular winter clothes of the Tang people, who are carrying burdens and preparing to board the boat, comfortable cotton linings, thick woolen thread jackets, and a cotton leather jacket, which can make them completely ignore the cold wind of the country.

They greeted the new workers in their local language, looking at their decent clothes and full of energy, the worries in the hearts of those new workers were immediately eliminated, Li Ke did not prohibit them from communicating with each other, and even encouraged them to communicate more, of course, these people with burdens are the people he wants to send to Tammodao to carry out the recruitment task, as for the reception of these new workers, it is completed by the workers who stay.

Li Ke's long history Zhang Zhao was specially sent out by him this time, he was going to Lingnan to talk to Feng An's son Feng Zhikui about transportation, if he only brought tens of thousands of people at a time, the two million laborers that Li Ke needed would not be able to be transported over for several years.

Therefore, he needed the Lingnan side to send a large number of passenger ships that could carry people to the people of Tammodala, instead of bringing some people by cargo ships after each time he transported grain.

"Remember, when you go to Lingnan, you must say that Feng Zhikui will be moved, at least thousands of thousands of stone sea ships will be dispatched every time, and hundreds of thousands of people will be brought over, within a year, these manpower must be in place, I will find a water ship from the Yangtze River Waterway Transfer Company to go to Lingnan to pick up people, and they don't need to use these sea sailing ships to send people to us slowly, as for Feng Zhikui's requirements, you can give him full discretion."

Wanshi's passenger ships, if you just transport people, one can transport almost 500 people, 1,000 ships, that is 500,000, at the current speed of two or three months a round trip, it will take nearly a year to transport 2 million people.

"Xia Guan knows, think about it, with the scale of the Lingnan Shipyard, thousands of stone ships can still be transferred, you only need to be ready in each county to respond, in addition, if there are too many people, I am afraid that a certain number of troops will be needed to manage, you also need to ask Your Majesty to allocate manpower to you."

Li Ke nodded and said, "This matter will be played by the king later, you should take care all the way and pay attention to safety." ”

Zhang Zhao bowed and saluted, "Your Highness will thank you for sending it." ”

After Zhang Zhao led a team of subordinates and a cadre of laborers to get on the boat and leave, Li Ke turned around and prepared to return to his house, at this time, a royal eunuch stepped forward to report, "Your Highness, Miss Sun is going back to Jiuyuan County today, and she will be at the dock in a while." ”

"Really? Well, this king will wait here for a while! ”

From a distance, Li Ke saw two Sun Mansion guards driving a carriage towards the dock, and Li Ke suddenly showed a smile on his face.

"Why is His Royal Highness King Wu blowing cold wind on this dock?" After being informed by the guard, Sun Xiaomei lifted the curtain of the car and got out of the car.

Li Ke smiled and said, "Today, I received some laborers from overseas, and I was about to return home, but I learned that my little sister was going to Jiuyuan County, so I waited here for a while." ”

"The little woman is a grass people, and His Royal Highness King He Lao Wu is waiting for her." When Sun Xiaomei said these words, she didn't show any emotion, and when she got out of the carriage, she didn't stand in front of Li Ke and talk to him, but walked towards the boat she had prepared while talking.

Li Ke hurriedly followed, "Little sister, what are you talking about, even if I am here for a year of cold wind, it is worth it to be able to see you." ”

"Really? I went to Jiuyuan County to see how the grapes planted in the previous two years were growing, and when I came back, I would pass by here. The corners of Sun Xiaomei's mouth, who was facing away from Li Ke, turned up unconsciously, and she got on the springboard next to the boat, but she turned her face expressionlessly, and stopped Li Kedao, who wanted to follow the boat, with her eyes.

"Wait, you have to wait, as long as you don't think I'm bothering you, little sister." Li Ke stopped, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"You don't look like a person who does big things." Sun Xiaomei gave Li Ke a roll of her eyes, and after speaking, she turned around and entered the cabin, without waving goodbye to Li Ke.

But he didn't want to, but Li Ke on the shore shouted loudly to his eunuch, "Come on, quickly build a grass house here, this king wants to wait for Miss Sun's return here······"

In the cabin, Sun Xiaomei couldn't help it anymore, her pretty little white face was suddenly covered with red clouds, she was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, where did she get Li Ke to be stalked, you know, since she came to Jinan County to open up a new crop plantation, Li Ke has been pestering her like this for half a year, but it's a pity that the eldest brother Sun Xiangfu is more opposed to his family marrying the royal family, and he has rejected the proposal of the eldest grandson queen before, and the eldest sister-in-law Yu Xiuer told her about this.

When Sun Xiaomei's boat disappeared from sight, Li Ke withdrew his gaze from the river, turned his head to see that the little eunuch was still there, and he was immediately annoyed, and said, "Didn't the king say that he would settle a cottage here." ”

The little eunuch scratched his head a little depressed and said, "Also, it's really a grass house!" You are the respect of the prince, how can you live in a grass house by the river and blow the cold wind! ”

Hearing this, Li Ke said even more angrily, "Hmph, let's just say that you incomplete people don't know anything!" Not only to build a grass house, but also to make the appearance of living here. ”

"Ahh Staying here? The little eunuch was even more inexplicable, but when he saw that Li Ke was about to raise his foot and kick him, he hurriedly went down to gather people to start work, but he didn't know how lethal Li Ke's trick was for girls, and the easiest way to express love to girls was to do something stupid for her.

And the reason why Li Ke went to great lengths to do this, of course, was because he clearly knew what Sun Xiaomei could bring him, and he had no possibility of competing for the throne, so only by marrying Sun Xiaomei could he have some security in the second half of his life.

Of course, in addition, Sun Xiaomei's knowledge, ability, and character are indeed the best among the women he has ever seen, and he is not going to chase after him with all his strength, so he is not a fool.

As long as Yu Xiu'er is not at home, Sun Mansion is the world of a few little guys, and when the sister-in-law comes back, it is just one more person who spoils them.

"The results of the county school have been sent to Chang'an for display, presumably, the eldest brother will be able to regain his freedom soon!"

"I'm still waiting for the will, but now I don't know how many species Zhao Long and they have found, and whether they have set off to return home."

In the time between playing with a few little guys, Sun Xiaomei and Sun Xiangfu also chatted about business, but poor Yu Xiuer was still thinking about how to use to make Sun Xiangfu free again!

In fact, since the five surnames and seven families have all carried out the shareholding reform and separation, even if Sun Xiangfu's mission is completed, Li Shimin will restrict Sun Xiangfu's freedom again, showing that he does not want to see him, and it has no meaning, he only needs a reason, and Sun Xiangfu will restore Sun Xiangfu's official title, and now, Sun Xiangfu sent the reason to Li Shimin, so it is not far from the time to restore the official title.

"The plantation in Jinan County, the seeds brought back by Brother Erli, I have already figured out a set of more reasonable planting methods, the eldest grandson came to see it once, saying that it was to be promoted in a large area, and later, I will tell the students about those cultivation experiences, after the eldest brother starts spring, they can be sent to the state and county along the Hanshui to develop greenhouse vegetables to take care of things."

Sun Xiangfu nodded and asked, "How much did the eldest grandson send for the introduction?" ”

"A total of thirty-two crops, he sent three million 200,000 yuan to the village to deposit the bills."

"Three million two thousand yuan, it's enough, if after the beginning of spring, after Your Majesty regains my freedom, I will go out for a long trip, this money, I want to bring it, when the time comes, the planting of rice here, I want you to come back and keep an eye on it, continue to plant according to the previous model, the predetermined goal can basically be completed."

After the beginning of spring, it is already the first seventh season of rice population optimization trial, whether it is in soaking, fertilization, pest control, weeds cleaning, etc., Sun Xiangfu has designed a relatively mature routine, basically not lost to future generations, even if Sun Xiangfu is here, but according to these routines, after planting rice, waiting to see the results, so, there is no need for him to stay here to plant.

On the contrary, he had to do some other preparations.

Sun Xiaomei asked with some understanding, "Is the eldest brother looking for planting land for those crops that may be brought back from overseas?" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and replied, "Exactly, every crop has its own growth characteristics, just like the hundreds of crops brought back by Erli, but only more than thirty are suitable for planting in the Shannan Dao area, so we must find some suitable places for them to grow in advance and prepare for cultivation."

By the way, over there in the vineyard, you also have to keep an eye on it, after the beginning of spring, it will soon bloom, I estimate that many varieties may not be able to bear fruit, when the time comes, can not bear fruit, or the fruit is not ideal varieties, you can pull out, only choose the varieties with high yield and sweet fruit to plant, those other varieties, we will change to other places in the future, and then slowly do trial research. ”

Sun Xiaomei nodded and said, "I know the eldest brother, then, after the Shangyuan Festival, I will take care of the plantation in Jinan County, and then move back here to live!" ”

I don't know why, Sun Xiangfu heard a hint of reluctance from Sun Xiaomei's tone, and when his eyes looked at Sun Xiaomei's eyes, he found that she actually dodged.

"Little sister, is there anything you want to tell the eldest brother, don't worry, the eldest brother has always been very open-minded, just say it."

was asked by Sun Xiangfu like this, Sun Xiaomei's face turned red, now, no need to say it, Sun Xiangfu also knows what is going on, the fourteen-year-old girl is already in love, I just don't know, whose kid is so lucky, he actually got the favor of his own little sister.
