The burned ashes became fertilizer and soaked the fields, the imperial court produced grain seeds, and every household stepped up the cultivation of seedlings, one by one like a dead father and mother sowed seedlings, now it is June, September golden autumn, how can we get the harvest in the three months of interruption?

Chang'an Hou doesn't care, his order is to raise seedlings and sow seeds, as long as there is no frost this year, there will be some harvest. How much is two, there must be some gains, otherwise how to survive the winter?

Cai Cong stood on the edge of the field and shouted with his hands, all the new army went out to help the people farm, and Meng Baolai, a six-rank military attaché, pinned his official robe to the belt of his trousers and planted rice with all his strength.

The old man on the side was teary-eyed and moved! Such a big official personally helped him, a lonely old man, farm the land, and no one believed him when he said it.

But my lord, you can't be lazy, whose seedlings are planted into the ground one by one like yours? When I turned around, the old man had to get it himself, so I was afraid of hurting the seedlings!

"Don't feel distressed for the elderly, this is the true way to plant seedlings." Cai Cong walked to the old man and handed him a bowl of water, which made the old man excited, took the water bowl and licked his lips and drank it in one gulp, only feeling very sweet.

"Master Hou, it's not that the little old man doesn't believe you, it's just that for thousands of years, the ancestors have been planted one by one, and now that they are planted like this, the little old man is afraid that he will all die by then!"

The old man looked at the twisted seedlings in the field, and felt distressed once, other people's families are not much better, these soldiers not only plant rice in piles themselves, but also ask others to follow their example.

"Listen to Ben Hou. Natural selection, one by one, not to mention the trouble, the key is that a single one is too weak to resist wind, sand and rain. It's different with a bunch, just like a group of brothers and sisters in the family, no matter how big the disaster is, everyone can support you to walk through, so that you can grow strongly.

The old man doesn't believe in making a bet, if the seedling growth is not as good as a single one, Ben Hou will compensate you for five stone fine grain, if the growth is better than a single one, you will be punished for planting seedlings with Ben Hou this method in the future, do you think it is good? ”

After Cai Cong finished saying with a smile, the old man cried and knelt on the ground, there is only one such Hou Ye in the whole Tang Dynasty, and he let himself meet, should he thank this God?

"Don't kneel, an old man like you kneel for me. It's going to break my life. ”

"No, no, little old man kneel down to you, a living immortal, how can you lose your life." The old man waved his hand, tears of laughter. Cai Cong couldn't see this kind of humble happiness the most, and walked towards the place with his steps.

Chu Yao carefully carried the beautiful skirt and followed closely behind her brother, in fact, she really wanted to go to the rice planting, but if her brother didn't go, she wouldn't go, she just sent the two maids to plant the rice.

Li Chengqian looked at the busy farming scene in front of him, hooked Cai Cong's shoulder and whispered: "Your method of planting rice had better work, otherwise my father will not let you go." I heard my mother say that my father couldn't sleep all night with a toothache last night, and my mother said that she was distressed about the food that you used for experiments. ”

"Let it go...... Let go of your hand, your family members are about to jump. Your dad is obviously on fire, teething, don't buckle me with any. ”

Cai Cong looked at the desolation in front of him, shook off Li Chengqian's hand, and said casually. June and July are the time when the world is flying, but even Chang'an can not see a trace of green, the trees are bare, the flowers and plants are gnawed only the rhizomes, and even Caijia Village, the earliest place to prevent locust plagues, there are only a few small trees with broken leaves hanging on them.

"But you do this, it's really hard to be reassuring, my father said that he was really poor this time, whether it was the treasury or the inner mansion in charge of my mother, it was all empty, and the sound of the wind echoing was like a ghost crying, my father said that it was a greedy ghost crying."

"Don't come to cry poor, your father borrowed 200,000 yuan from my family, and repaid it in 30 years with an IOU, my mother and my sister are now crying every day in the empty treasury, and they can't eat."

Cai Cong opened his mouth and came, Li Chengqian looked at Chu Yao who was delivering pastries to the little mud monkey not far away, and then looked at Sister Cai who was talking and laughing with a group of peasant women in the distance, and then looked at Cai Cong, who was heartbroken, you opened your eyes and said nonsense like this. Doesn't your heart hurt?

When your mother sent food to people just now, the food was pretended, and she kept saying that it was not enough to pretend again, did you tell me that this is a distressed money-conscious master? This is clearly a loser.

"Don't look at it, I'm looking at them too sad, take them out to relax!"

"Don't you want to make a face? I didn't ask for much, borrow another 20,000. The treasury is empty, and now it is only more than 10,000 taels, and there is no money for emergencies, so you can borrow some more. ”

"Not really, can you wait for more than a month? The Liaodong caravan has returned, and a large amount of money is with you, and if you feel that you can't spend it all, you will pay back the money you owe me. ”

"Get out, if I can wait for next month for me to borrow it, your family will definitely still have money, can you borrow it?" Li Chengqian jumped up and hugged Cai Cong's neck and asked viciously.

"I don't have any money! Your father took away 200,000 guan without saying a word, Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, took an IOU without saying a word, and took 10,000 guan from my house, saying that it was an emergency of the military department, and the military department returned it to my family for ten years. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui jointly came to the door and took away most of the grain and more than 10,000 yuan from my house. Cheng Qian! Compared with this group of shameless old people, you are still far behind. ”

Li Chengqian let go of Cai Cong's neck and said distractedly: "Yes! Oh, yes! ”

Lao Li's family will be empty, Cai Cong's family wants to have a reputation, there is no shortage of money and food, and more importantly, Cai Cong has 8,000 elite soldiers in his hands.

Li Lao'er took away 100,000 yuan is a kind of temptation for Cai Cong, and Li Chengqian came to borrow money because he knew that the Cai family still had a foundation, Li Shimin was not at ease, and hoped to temporarily hollow out Cai Cong.

Unexpectedly, those old foxes moved faster than the other, and when he was still crying poor, they had already hollowed out the Cai family.

"They're too much, and that's full of uncertainty." Li Chengqian said indignantly, Cai Cong looked at him with disdain, who was the bastard who just slammed my neck?

"Don't pretend, do you know why there are thousand-year-old families, but there are no thousand-year empires? Even if the ancient Zhou Dynasty established a ritual system and divided the world, it was only 860 years. ”

"This ......"

When did Li Chengqian think about this question, he couldn't answer it at all.

"Because the family is smaller than the emperor's family, and the power is more dispersed than the emperor's family, when the imperial power is concentrated in one person, it is difficult to guarantee whether the emperor is a bright monarch or a faint monarch, so often as long as an emperor is unconscious, the empire will also go into decline."

"So what you want to say is that you want the Cai family to become a thousand-year-old family?"

"Wrong, I don't even have a wife, a thousand-year-old family! And I want to tell you that the thousand-year-old family will also come to an end, and what I want is that in the next 10,000 years, this world will have a track left by me. Like Confucius and Mencius, like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and like you Laozi. No matter how the future comes, this world will always tell my story. ”

"Brother, if you don't rebel, you can still leave a bad reputation, but with your ideals, you can only leave a joke in the end." Li Chengqian said with a serious face, Cai Cong's face was pulled as soon as he was old, I am still waiting for your admiring eyes, you give me a basin of ice water.

"Roll the calves, you will pour cold water, my house is hollowed out, what are you still doing here?"

"It's because your house has been hollowed out that I can't sit back and watch my aunt and Chu Yao's sister suffer, I have to prepare some delicious food for them." Li Chengqian said as he looked at Chu Yao subconsciously with his eyes, and his face turned a little red.
