"What do you think?" Zheng Liwan put down the secret decree sent by Li Shimin, leaned back in her chair and asked.

"Huh! There are countless capable people in the court, and this kind of big event, it is my turn to be the master, it can be said that there are more than me, and there are many less of me. Situ Changfeng shook his head indifferently and smiled.

"The husband doesn't have to think about the concubine, although the concubine is pregnant, she still has the ability to take care of herself. Don't let that delay you. Zheng Liwan saw Situ Changfeng's eyes on her lower abdomen, and her heart couldn't help but be very sweet, but the two had been together for so long, how could they not understand his ambitions, so they spoke out to ease his heart.

"Nothing is as important as Madame." Situ Changfeng said with a cut of iron. Maybe serving the imperial court and revitalizing the family is the ideal of most people, but for Situ Changfeng, a traverser, the family is the most important, and he has been working hard, all for survival and a better life for his family.

"Husband!" Zheng Liwan was suddenly moved to tears, and pulled Situ Changfeng's arm and couldn't speak.

"Madame! I only have a few of your relatives now, and nothing is more important than you. Situ Changfeng gently hugged his wife and said gently.

"The concubine understands! But husband, where is the country broken? Your Majesty said that this time the situation is extremely critical, and it is precisely because you need to contribute, and you must not let the Turkic horses step on the Central Plains for the sake of concubines, and the people will suffer. Zheng Liwan waited for a while and continued to persuade.

I have to say that the idea of loyalty to the monarch occupies a huge weight in the hearts of most people, and Zheng Liwan has completely forgotten the hard days brought by Li Shimin. Of course, this is also because Li Shimin's attention to her husband makes her happy and proud, and naturally she wants to push Situ Changfeng further, she doesn't want to delay Situ Changfeng because of herself, so she will not only become a sinner of the Situ family, but even in her heart, there will be a hurdle in her heart.

"Okay, okay, listen to Madame, and make arrangements for your husband after the year. It's just that the stakes are high, so don't let anyone else know. Situ Changfeng couldn't say it, so he had to follow her, after all, women, reasoning must not be enough, not to mention pregnant women, they are the biggest, um! Older than the emperor, what she says is the truth.

Anyone who has ever had a dog knows it, ahem! Naturally, that's for the best.

…………

Lively New Year, although the people of the two states have settled down this year, but they are very satisfied, not only the living environment is better, but there is more hope, and the Governor's Mansion in the Spring Festival is a unified gift, a woolen clothes, a piece of mutton, although it is a cured meat from the grassland, but this is unprecedented, the government sent holiday gifts to the people.

Of course, this was given by Situ Changfeng in the name of the little princess Li Mingda, and he would not leave the handle to the imperial history to make trouble.

Therefore, the little princess Li Mingda's reputation in the two states has increased greatly, and of course Situ Changfeng has a greater reputation, because everyone knows that he is the princess's master, not to mention that few people have seen the little princess.

No matter what, the two masters and apprentices are good people in the hearts of the people.

Spring in the south is very early, after the fifteenth day of the first month, the government began to organize agriculture one after another, this is mainly the latest planting method, after last year's experiment, the field of selection, to harvest more than before, and the breeding field, and to harvest more, if you add fertilization, it is more than the previous planting of forty percent harvest.

So at the beginning of this year, the first thing is to tidy up the field, first turn over the field, and take advantage of the last cold to freeze the eggs in the field.

Then the seeds are selected, breeding, and the grass ash and animal manure collected in a winter are mixed together to increase the fertility of the field, and it can be expected that this year will be another good harvest.

Although the people are not very convinced that such a troublesome planting can increase the yield, they still do it out of trust in the government.

Only businessmen, families, and officials with vision followed, or sent people to follow, and relatively speaking, everyone was more interested in vegetables than grain in the two states.

Last year, the two states harvested the most, a kind of carrot, from the hands of the Hu people in the Western Regions, so called carrots, not only high yield, but also raw, cooked food, sweet taste, long preservation, deeply loved by the people, even rich people, like to change the pattern of eating, who let this world have less sweets.

The second kind is also handed over from the Western Regions, called winter melon, but it is not this kind of winter melon with a lot of hair in the Tang Dynasty now, but a huge winter melon, the largest is the size of a child or two years old, although the taste is average, but the size makes up for all the shortcomings, the most important thing is that it can almost be preserved for a winter, for the lack of green vegetarian vegetables in winter, it is a rare good product, it is said that the old emperor, the favorite to eat is the winter melon of Yuezhou, the golden melon.

That's right, the gourd is also from the Western Regions, with high yield, fragrant and glutinous taste, the most important thing is that these two kinds of vegetables do not occupy the field, in front of the house and behind the house, at the edge of the field, and at the edge of the soil, they can be planted, and they don't need to be managed.

According to the common people, if this is a disaster year, it will be able to feed a family, although it is not as hungry as the staple food, but it is more delicious than the rough girl.

Speaking of high yield, a kind of thing that was not valued in Shu was originally carried forward in Yuezhou, chayote, also called ear melon, gourd melon, planted under the tree, its vines naturally wrapped around the tree, bearing fruit, very many, and the fruiting time is long, can last for several months, the most important thing is that only need to plant the seeds in the first year, and there is no need to manage it in the future, it can be harvested every year.

Food is hard goods, whether it is the people, or the family, for food, it is a tireless pursuit, the people only think about the food they are currently living in, and the family, always like a squirrel about to spend the winter, as much as possible to store food.

Therefore, the several vegetarian dishes made by Situ Changfeng are so eye-catching, but unfortunately the seeds are limited now, and they have to go to a batch after leaving Chang'an, and the others are in the two states. This year, the goal of the two states is to plant tea trees and vegetables on the small islands in Dongting Lake, especially winter melons and golden melons, even if they are bad, they can be thrown into the fish pond to feed the fish.

In fact, the development of the island, this is also Situ Changfeng had to do it, in Dongting Lake, the most is the reeds, and the reeds are too much, nourishing mosquitoes more, plus the locusts in the paddy fields, so the people are sick, so as much as possible to plan the reeds, it is urgent.

And the planning of the reed, because of the papermaking technology that Situ Changfeng brought back from the Condor, the literati of the Song Dynasty came out in large numbers, and the status was very high, which led to the vigorous development of the four treasures of the study, and the papermaking technology naturally got unprecedented development, using various plants to make excellent paper, and the reed is only one of them, since there are such innate conditions, it is natural to make good use of it, but it is all over Dongting Lake, and there are too many, not only so that the waterway is not clear, but also side effects, so it needs to be planned.
