Chen Zilong thought that he had denied Zhu Xu and improved his status, but he never expected that Liu Ru, who he cared about the most, would personally come over to Zhu Xu for advice.

Liu Ru could feel that this Zhu Gongzi did not mean to 'have a deep talk' with her, and he did not entangle, so he simply left.

Zhu Xu looked at her back, smiled slightly, and said: "The world is difficult, only to show the true colors of life, sometimes, women's morality will be more valuable than men, or even unattainable......"

Cao Bianjiao didn't know why Zhu Xu suddenly sighed, looked up, and said, "Childe, are you going to take a look in the field?" ”

Zhu Xu retracted his gaze and walked forward with his feet raised: "Tai. Ann can't explain the situation, let's go, go and see. ”

"Yes."

Cao Bianjiao followed Zhu Xu's side, and the two walked out of the courtyard quickly.

The carriage outside the door was already waiting, and Zhu Xu got into the carriage and went straight out of the city.

Aid. Namfu is a mountain. The eastern capital, the most convincing.

Liu Ru joined the maid, went out of the courtyard through another door, and sat in the carriage, still frowning, and his face was thoughtful.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Seeing that she had been like this, the maid asked with concern.

Liu Ru shook his head slightly and said, "The Zhu Gongzi I met today must not be a simple person. ”

The maid thought back and said: "What my sister said is that as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Gongzi, Gong Gongzi and others couldn't interject, if it weren't for his young age, he thought he was an adult in the court, maybe it was really a family history." ”

Liu Ru's eyes flashed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart, "The emperor's fleet seems to be chatting. City, could it be that he is a close confidant of the emperor, who has come to visit the people, if this is the case, he must find a chance to see him again......

Liu Ru was thoughtful, and a smug smile appeared on her face like guessing the lantern riddle.

Gong Dingxiao and Gu Hengbo walked side by side, both of them were preoccupied.

Although Gu Hengbo and Gong Dingyu are in love, Gu Hengbo has a marriage contract with others, and even if they are happy, they must be restrained.

Gong Dingyu sees the love between men and women very lightly, he is bisexual, men and women are not taboo, he likes Gu Hengbo very much, but he cares more about his career, which is why he likes Gu Hengbo and has never broken it, after all, the imperial court has rules that you cannot marry a lowly person, otherwise the imperial examination is prohibited.

He won't leave himself such a handle and cut off his career!

In his heart, Zhu Xu's words just now, although Chen Zilong denied Zhu Xu's knowledge and vision, and attributed it to 'family history', but the more this is the case, the more it can show that his words are very likely to be true!

If this is the emperor's mind, he will have to plan well, and the emperor is in the mountain. Dong, he can't miss this opportunity!

"Lord Yang, don't worry, in three days at most, I will be ready to send you to the house."

Suddenly, a voice made Gong Dingyu stop and look up.

I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman, facing a half-hundred old man who looked like an official, arched his hand with a smile on his face and said: "The old lady's birthday is coming, we all understand, make sure to make the old lady happy, Lord Yang is relieved." ”

The half-hundred-year-old man known as Lord Yang smiled, did not speak, touched his white beard, and walked forward slowly.

Gong Dingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, watching the two of them pass by each other, turning his head to continue to look at the back of Lord Yang, and whispering to himself, "Ji. Yang Fengzhong, the prefect of the Southern Governor......"

Gu Hengbo watched Gong Dingxiao's movements from the side, and said suspiciously: "Gongzi Gong? ”

Gong Dingyu came back to his senses, glanced at Gu Hengbo, and said with a smile: "Mei'er, I'll send you here, I still have something to do today, I'll look for you in a few days." ”

Gu Hengbo smiled lightly and said empathetically: "Gong Gongzi can go if he has something to do, Mei'er will go back by herself." ”

Gong Dingyu said a few more affectionate words, and then said goodbye and left.

When he arrived at the inn, he spread out the paper, looked attentive and serious, and prepared to write a gorgeous, well-founded impeachment note!

Except for Gong Dingyu, Mao Bijiang and the others were not stupid, and after thinking about it seriously, they all wrote letters to Jiangnan's family, explaining everything they heard today, and asking for early countermeasures.

Zhu Xu didn't know that his words had such a butterfly effect, and he sat in a carriage, slowly walked out of the city, and walked straight towards a piece of farmland.

The carriage swayed on the rugged dirt road, and Zhu Xu lifted the curtains and looked outside.

Now should be the time when the crops are ripe, full of grains, and crumbling, but when you can see that the rice is sparse, yellow, withered, sick, and at a glance, there is a drought in the eyes, and there is no good harvest at all.

Cao Huachun sat in front of the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, this is Ji. The largest farmland in the south, the slave maid inquired, it has been like this in the past few years, it has decreased by 30% compared with the 3rd year of the Apocalypse, and 50% less than the 40th year of Wanli......"

Zhu Xu was not surprised, and said: "This disaster actually started very early, but the adults in the court didn't care, but they don't know that this disaster is not a year or two, three years and five years, if it goes on like this, in a few years, the harvest of one acre of ten acres of land here will be good. The situation in the west and other places can be imagined......"

Cao Huachun nodded silently, not only him, but also the adults in the court gradually agreed with the emperor's point of view, that is, this disaster is unprecedented, lasting for many years, and it must be prepared as soon as possible. This is also one of the important reasons why Bi Ziyan and others were able to accept a series of 'harsh' new policy measures and methods of the emperor.

As the carriage continued to move forward, it became more intuitive to see, the dry cracks in the land were cracked, the blowing breath kicked up a cloud of dust, and the survival of the rice that needed water was a fluke, and the harvest could be predicted.

"Come up, hurry up, register the acres!"

Not far from Zhu Xu's carriage, two messengers held thick papers in their hands, shouting impatiently to the people in the field.

There were a few people in the field, like a family, there were men and women, and the middle-aged man in his forties who was in the lead stood up, frowned, and said: "The land is not ours, ......what are you looking for us to register?"

"Nonsense!"

The older officer, who was in his early thirties, immediately reprimanded with a cold face: "This land is in Ji. The registration in Nanfu is your name, less verbose, come and sign and draw. ”

The middle-aged man looked a little helpless, and walked over and said, "You should go to the owner, we are just tenants, and we will sign in vain, and the rent that should be paid will not be less than ......."

The servant snorted coldly and said, "After looking for you, we will naturally find your owner again, and if someone comes to ask you again, just say that the land is yours, understand?" Leave the rest alone. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Official, this land is really rented by us, and there is a contract ......."

"Alright, just listen to me." The messenger didn't care, took his hand, put his handprint on the book, and told again: "Remember my words, if you talk nonsense, don't say that the land will not be planted for you, and you will be able to help in the future. South, the whole mountain. There is no place for you in the East, you know? ”

The middle-aged man was puzzled, knowing that the official couldn't afford to mess with him, so he had to nod and say, "I know." ”

The two officers put away the papers, looked around, and said the elderly: "Let's stop here today, just register before May." ”

The young man said: "Master, is it useful to register these, anyway, those adults will not come to this kind of place, just fool around." ”

The old man snorted coldly and said, "What do you know! Beizhili has turned the sky upside down, we naturally have to prepare early, the prefect said, turn the whole into zero, ensure everything, even if the new policy of the imperial court comes to our side in the future, it is still the same, but we can't help it. ”

The younger one nodded a little abruptly and a little incomprehensibly, and said, "I understand, master." ”

As the two spoke, they happened to come to Zhu Xu's carriage, and Zhu Xu slapped the folding fan in his hand and looked at them playfully.

The faces of the two officers changed slightly, and their words were heard.

The older one quickly reacted, holding the knife and said in a deep voice to Zhu Xu: "This is a secret of the government, and no one is allowed to steal it!" Say, "Who are you, where are you from, and what are you doing here?" ”

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Occasionally passing by, getting lost, I want to find someone to ask for directions, please ask Ji. How to get to Nanfu? ”

The two officials were stunned, turned their heads and looked, there was only one way, and the place they came could only be Ji. Nanfu!
