"Lu Lingfeng, this old man just said: 'Then today is the time for him to marry his daughter-in-law.' In this case, Master Ben can't help but be creditworthy. Yun Xi suddenly remembered what he said casually, and said to Lu Lingfeng: "But you can't just give him a daughter from a good family, in case this person really doesn't make it, wouldn't Master Ben be a sin?" ”

"You tell him that if he wants to go to the city to work, he will go to the steel factory in Meishan."

"The steel mill in Meishan?" When Lu Lingfeng heard this, his face suddenly showed envy. The steel factory in Meishan has now spread, and the treatment is excellent, and there is a few yuan in a month just after entering, which is more than farming, and the factory is in charge of two meals.

Moreover, so far, the two steel mills have not fired a few workers, and the people who have been fired are all well-known second-rate sons; The factory is also a national industry (he naturally didn't know that it was about to become a private industry) and would not be closed, so everyone was most worried about not being settled, so everyone rushed to enter the steel plant, and it was no longer a difficult situation to recruit people a few years ago. As for the stricter rules, what are the rules? Can it be more important than a yellow copper coin that falls in your pocket?

He wanted to open his mouth to ask Yun Xi for a place for his family, but he was afraid of angering His Majesty, so he hesitated for a while and raised his head to speak, but saw that there was no one in front of him, so he hurriedly grabbed his son Lu Ming and said, "Where is the master?" ”

"Over there, the old man pulled the second master to talk over there. Don't let people get close. Lu Ming secretly pointed to the side and said.

Yun Xi saw Lu Lingfeng standing stupidly in front of him just now, thinking that he was happy and stupid because his village had gained such a big benefit this time, so he let himself be entangled here, and pulled Zhu Youstew to find a corner to talk.

"There is stew, since you have understood, when you go back to Kaifeng, you will let your family's Zhuangzi farm like this according to what my brother Shicai said."

"Kaifeng is an important place for transportation in the north, and merchants from the south to the north have to pass through Kaifeng. After the harvest of grain in Kaifeng after the autumn, the merchants in the past will know about it, and they will definitely say that when they return to their hometowns, the civil officials in the court will also support their brother to promote this kind of land. ”

"When the time comes, the elder brother will tell the officials of the provinces to spread this method, and no one will stop him; The peasant households will not resist listening to the words of the merchants of their fellow villagers. In this way, with three or five years of hard work, most places in the Ming Dynasty will be farmed like this. ”

"It's great. The total grain output of the Ming Dynasty can increase a lot. Zhu Youstew said happily. But then he added: "Three or five years is still too long, if only in two years." ”

"How can it be so fast!" Yun Xi said with a smile: "Da Ming is so big, if you are not in a hurry to go from the south to the north, it will take several months, if you don't enter the city all the year round, the people in the village don't know if there are people in the same mansion, even if the elder brother makes an order for two years, it will take a lot of effort." ”

"My brother also knows, it's just a casual sigh." Zhu Youstew suddenly changed the topic: "Brother, how can those crops that came from the Hanzhou Continent not be planted by the people of this riverside village?" ”

"There's stew, I think you want some seeds for yourself, make them into a raft? If you want, brother will give you two pounds of each seed. Yun Xi smiled.

"Then thank you, brother." Zhu Youstew didn't feel embarrassed, and immediately agreed. However, he added: "Brother, it is true that my brother wants some seeds, but I also want to ask my brother how he arranged it. ”

"Fang Mingqian only brought back fifty catties of seeds for each crop, where can so many places be planted? My brother has already set a Huangzhuang to plant these new things, and left some to plant in the fields in the palace, and promised to give some to the nobles, it would be good to give you two catties, why do you need to let the people of Heyanzhuang plant? Yun Xi replied.

"Why did Fang Mingqian bring back so few seeds? Bring more? Zhu Youstew said: "Otherwise, the people of Daming can be planted with these new crops." In particular, sweet potatoes and potatoes are said to grow in places where the water and soil are poor, and they do not need to be taken care of, which is very good for the people. ”

"There is no rush to promote these new crops." Yun Xi said. Now that there are many people in the Ming Dynasty and few lands, it has not reached the point of starving to death, and there is no hurry to implement these new crops.

The exception is the Northwest, of course. The land in the northwest is barren, and it is located in the middle of the Central Plains to the Western Regions, even if there is a tram to connect the traffic, there must be people along the way, and it cannot be too little. He pondered and saved six catties of seeds, which he wanted to give to Zhu Tong, the king of Su, and Zhu Chang, the king of Qing, respectively, so that they could plant new crops in the northwest, especially potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.

After they finished discussing the matter here, Yun Xi came back and instructed Lu Lingfeng: "The method of implementing new farming in Heyanzhuang will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes, sir, the villain must obey the master's words." Lu Lingfeng said hurriedly.

"There is another thing, half of the people in your village who stay in the local area, as long as they farm according to the method explained by the old man, they will be exempted from the five-year contribution. However, from this year onwards, you will have to pay taxes to the imperial court. ”

"Pay taxes to the imperial court?" He was naturally happy to hear that he was exempted from paying five years, but he was a little surprised to hear that he still had to pay taxes. This is the emperor's Zhuangzi, although it is not counted as the emperor's village, it is not far behind, why do you still have to pay taxes?

Lu Lingfeng wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and after calculating that the tax he paid was less than the previous contribution, he didn't dare to argue, and bowed down to agree.

After saying this, Yun Xi had nothing to command, and left here with Zhu Youstew.

Lu Lingfeng said a few more words and let everyone disperse. Of course, he can't immediately decide who will go to Jiangbei to open up the wasteland at this time, this matter has to be cautious; But Yang Ling's matter is easy to say. He immediately called Yang Ling to his side, looked him up and down a few times, and said to him, "Yang Ling, your creation has arrived." The master said, give you the opportunity to work as a worker in the steel factory. ”

"Really?" Yang Ling was overjoyed. Many people want to go into the steel mill to spend money and give gifts, but he can enter just by saying a word?

"Nature is true? How could I lie to you about such a thing! Lu Lingfeng said. At the same time, he added in his heart: 'If I deceive you, how can I be the head of the village in the future?' Feng Mo's younger brother is eyeing me, the head of the village. ”

"Great!" Yang Ling cheered. As long as you can stay in the factory for three months without being fired, you will be a regular worker, and you will have money in the future, and someone will be willing to come to you and say that the matchmaker's daughter-in-law can also marry!

Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Lingfeng said again: "Yang Ling! In the future, you will also be another person in our Zhuangzi who holds an iron rice bowl, but you can't embarrass our Zhuangzi. ”

"I know, I'll do it well in the future! What is a worker in a steel mill, I will be an official in charge of a steel mill in the future! Yang Ling said.

"Okay, don't brag, hurry back and clean up, make your mother happy!" Lu Lingfeng didn't care about his words, and said casually.

"Got it."

……

……

Yunxi and Zhu Youstew left Heyanzhuang when they were already in the middle of the day, and when Zhu Youstew came out today, he told the princess that he didn't have to prepare his meal, and he would go to the palace to have another meal. Yun Xi laughed and scolded: "Why are you still addicted to the food in the palace!" ”

"The food in the palace is delicious." Zhu Youstew didn't blush: "I haven't been to the capital to eat the food in the palace for a few years, and I don't want the chefs in the palace to cook more and more delicious." Where did you find so many chefs who are good at cooking? At this time, they had already left the farm, surrounded by escorting guards, and Zhu Youstew naturally resumed his official title.

"My brother doesn't know this, everything in the palace is handled by your sister-in-law. If you want to know, ask your sister-in-law. Can Yun Xi tell him that he likes to eat, so he forces the chefs in the imperial dining room to innovate dishes every day, and finally makes these chefs emerge in an endless stream of new dishes? Naturally it can't, so it can only be pushed to Xiyao. What's more, not only him, but also Xiyi and Min'er love to eat, and have made great contributions to the renovation of the palace cuisine, and Xiyao, as their sister or mother, should take responsibility.

"Then I'll ask my sister-in-law." Zhu Youstew did not doubt it, and said.

Yun Xi heard this and hurriedly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, there is stew, what my brother told you before asked you to write a drama book about the gold and silver all over the Han continent?" ”

"Where is it so fast!" Zhu Youstew said: "This book must be easy to understand, so that the most vulgar people can understand it, but it can't be too vulgar, so that people with some identities are willing to read it, and it is not easy to take into account the white snow and the lower riba people." The first draft has been written a long time ago, but I have been dissatisfied with it and have been revising. ”

"Where is this needed?" Yun Xi smiled: "It's naturally good if a book can take care of the spring and white snow and the lower riba people, but if you can't take care of it, then you don't have to take care of it." Write a book of spring and snow.,Just write a book of the lower riba people.。 ”

"Brother Huang, it's easy for you!" Zhu Youstew complained: "Write two almost books, and they have to be Yangchun Baixue and Xia Liba respectively, Brother Huang, you write poems when I am Li Bai, and you can write them if you want to?" ”

"If you really do what you tell us, it will be done! You can only write one first, and the second one may be written. ”

"Maybe, maybe. Write down the Riba people's notebook first. The first thing to do is to encourage the bold people of the people to go to the Hanzhou continent to pan for gold, and to encourage the young sons of those hereditary military generals to put aside for a while. Yun Xi said.

"With the words of the royal brother, the younger brother knows what to do. This book must be written out before the first day of the first month of March; Before March 15, let the Kaifeng team start performing. Zhu Youstew said with a smile.

"That's good." Yun Xi knew that he was also telling himself that he was going to go back, so he smiled slightly and didn't say much.

As he spoke, the carriage had already driven into the palace. Zhu Youwei was about to talk to Yun Xi about his favorite dishes, when he heard the guard guarding the gate say, "Your Majesty, Secretary Chen of the Five Cities Academy has come to see Your Majesty today. I heard that His Majesty did not stop after leaving the palace in the morning, and went to the Jinshen Hall to wait for His Majesty to return to the palace. ”
