Chapter 25: Fortune (1)
In the early morning, the sunlight slipped into Xu Qing's study early. Xu Qing stretched out his waist and was about to roll a few times on the bed, but found that there was a person next to him, and he couldn't roll.
"Huh? Satsuki, I'm here so early, I don't want to get up yet......"
"My hand, how is it in ......"
"Satsuki, why are you in my bed?"
"Yikes! I'm going to you?! Xu Qing's head was dizzy, he didn't know what to say, and Xiaoyue was also ashamed and ignorant, so she simply buried herself in the quilt and hid-boo-a-boo.
This action made Xu Qing startled, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue, don't you think that there is an immortal person in the quilt...... Oh no, no, no, I didn't mean that......"
"Xiaoyue, I'm sorry, forgive me, I'm responsible for you......" Xu Qing regretted in his heart, and he was also glad to be in ancient times, otherwise it would be another three years to start......
Xiao Yue only had a buzzing sound in her ears, and she couldn't hear Xu Qing's words, so she continued to bury herself in the quilt and refused to move, because she and Xu Qing were still nested at all.
"Xiao Yue, do you say something......" Xu Qing saw that Xiao Yue didn't move, and quietly lifted the quilt, Xiao Yue was startled again, like a wounded rabbit, trembling, half self-pity, half pity at Xu Qing.
Xiao Yue was born fresh and lovely, like a lotus flower out of water, this pitiful appearance jumped on her face, and Xu Qing's "index finger" moved.
"Xiaoyue, you ......" Xu Qing said softly, combing Xiaoyue's hair, Xiaoyue hugged Xu Qing's chest and hugged Xu Qing tightly.
At the moment when she approached Xu Qing's body, Xiao Yue felt the "burning stick" on Xu Qing's body, a stick as hot as fire! Xiao Yue's delicate body was shocked, she could understand the power of the burning stick last night! However, Satsuki did not retreat, but firmly met it, and then ......
Xu Qing almost burned himself, and after a moment of refreshment, he hurriedly retreated and said, "Xiaoyue, are you willing?" ”
"Xiaoyue, I just want to serve the young master......"
flirting with me again, she teased me again, remembering that when Xiaoyue first met, she was a few years older than Xu Qing, but now that Xu Qing is more mature, Xiaoyue is even more "fresh" than at the beginning. Uh, it's not juicy, I don't know, I was drunk yesterday, where do I remember half a little?
Twisting a pillar of incense, Xu Qing put on his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed, if there was a cigarette, a sip of betel nut would be even better. Xu Qing asked Xiao Yue: "Xiao Yue, was it last night, or this morning?" ”
"Young Master, it was last night." Xiaoyue is a rational woman, and after Xu Qing left, she was much less embarrassed, and she spoke a lot louder.
"At night, why are you in my room at night?" Xu Qing thought for a while and said in surprise: "It's Xue'er, Xue'er asked you to come?" ”
"Well, it was Madam who asked me to come......" Xiao Yue saw that Xu Qing's face was not happy, and added nervously: "Young Master, don't blame Sister Xun, she is all for the comfort of the young master." ”
"How long have you been planning this?"
"Young Master, do you remember the last time you suddenly broke in and saw me talking to my wife?"
"That's when you're ...... Okay, how did she think of letting you, let you ......" Xu Qing couldn't say it, Xiao Yue understood when she heard it, and said: "Xiao Yue fell in love with the young master before that......"
Xu Qing touched his chin, am I that attractive? Listen to Satsuki murmuring again:
"Sister Xun found out, I didn't blame her, but she told me bluntly, she, she asked me to be ready, just in case I need it......"
After Xiaoyue finished speaking, Xu Qing knew in his heart that the choices and plans of the two women were all because of their true love for Xu Qingzhen, not the fragments of "Li Dai Taozhuang", "Transferring Flowers and Trees", and "Taking the Opportunity to Take the Position" in the palace fight drama. Xu Qing sighed, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Thinking about this clearly, Xu Qing pretended to be angry, patted the side of the bed, and said, "You two are hiding from me, I will punish you two, Xue'er is inconvenient, Xiaoyue ......"
"Prepare to bear the wrath of me!"
"Ah...... Young master, pity ......"
Afterwards, Xu Qing called the two daughters together and taught them some words of love for each other, the truth of family and prosperity. Unexpectedly, the second daughter smiled and said, I already knew. Xu Qing was relieved, happily took the money and rewarded the people of the Assassin Mansion, and personally cooked some tonic soup for the second daughter, which was full of nutrition and repaired the damage......
When a fire breaks out in the backyard, Xiao Qiang's disaster is far stronger and more destructive than the external threats. With the governance of Xun Xue'er and Xiaoyue, the Thorn History Mansion is in order, and Zhang Linlin's team of people is also selected. It came out, and safety was guaranteed.
With nothing to do, Xu Qing wanted to go around and take a look at how the people under his rule lived and lived, and this idea became stronger and stronger.
In July, after a coincidence, Xu Qing finally made up his mind to inspect Cangzhou. Plain clothes, a small straw hat, riding an old donkey, Xu Qing dressed like a small landowner in the countryside. The cows graze as farmers and long-term workers, leading donkeys in front.
Where to? Let's go to Haixing first...... Haixing is the poorest county in Cangzhou, how to make Haixing rich? Xu Qing wanted to take this opportunity to find the answer.
Riding a donkey into Haixing, he met a group of children chasing grasshoppers and running, singing and reading as they ran: "Two friends, three teachers." There is surplus food, and the bandits drive it. The water is full of fat chickens and ducks running, and the green seedlings are competing for a good year! ”
After hearing it for the first time, Xu Qing understood the meaning of the children's rhyme, "two people" and "Yu" are Xu, "water" and "green" are Qing, and they add up to Xu Qing. If the first children's song is still far-fetched, then the next one must be about Xu Qing.
Then I heard the group of children singing,
"Xu Gongzi is a Pleiades
Come down to the earth and put Tian Jun
The stomach is full and the fields are plowed
The sound of the pestle in every house"
As soon as these words came out, the cow eating grass also understood, It means that after Xu Qing came, he was full of food and strength, and he could do some other manual work after plowing the field, and the cow grinned at the grass: "Young master, they are singing about you!" ”
Xu Qing is very pleased, this is the will of the people, it seems that what I am doing still has an effect. Maybe that's a sense of accomplishment, right?
But who sang these nursery rhymes? Could it be that the people felt it, Xu Qing shook his head, and said in his heart that there are still talents in Cangzhou.
After being stimulated by a few children's songs, Xu Qing suddenly had a lot of flavor in this thorn history, so he became more and more interested in thinking about how to develop Haixing.
After a few days of inquiry, Xu Qing saw some clues.
In an agrarian society, the only thing that restricts economic development is land, and if you can't grow more food, that area will be poor. Before Xu Qing's major transformation, Xuzhuang was also too poor to work, once the canal was repaired and the well was dug, the sky and the earth were immediately changed.
The sea is prosperous, and the sea is prosperous, with this name, but it is not worthy of that truth.
Due to the coastal area of Haixing, one-third of the land in the territory is tidal flats, and one-third of the land is saline-alkali land, and there is not much arable land left, which is still relatively barren land. As a result, the production is pitiful, and the hunger is very reluctant.
Then some people asked, why not move out? You must know that in later generations, there are still some people in poor villages, and there are many people with "local plots", who are so poor that they refuse to migrate even if they wear open crotch pants.
What Xu Qing thinks is that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, Haixing is facing such a large rich ocean, even if he relies on fishing for seafood, he doesn't have to be so poor.
It's just that Xu Qing didn't know, because the transportation and preservation technology were not good, and the risk of going to sea was too great, before the Song Dynasty, the ancient Chinese marine fishery had been underdeveloped, and occasionally there were a few fishermen, but it was not much better than the abandoned people.
After thinking for a while, Xu Qing felt that the way out for Haixing County still had to be found from the ocean. Because there is a safe and easy thing to obtain, which is inexhaustible in this sea, and the profit is quite high.
Riding a donkey, Xu Qing slowly walked near the sea.
In fact, Xu Qing was quite excited. Before coming to Tang, he had never seen the real sea......
Watching TV, the seaside: fine sand and blue waves, wide and boundless, and the salty breeze is gentle...... Pick up shells, pick up conch, and listen to the call of the sea! Tomei ......
Can...... Xu Qing asked the route clearly, followed the guide to the beach to take a look, and was dumbfounded: "The cows are grazing, have you seen the sea?" ”
"No......" the cow grazing shook his head.
"How much money did you give the guide?"
"Penny ......"
"Just a penny, why are you giving so much, too much money?"
"Didn't you ask me to give more, and ...... Say whatever you say as a door...... Tickets or something......"
"Ang, it seems that there is such a thing." Xu Qing was helpless, riding a donkey and looking left and right, except for a thick forest, where was there a trace of the sea? Not even water...... Couldn't see it, Xu Qing quieted down and listened, and sure enough, there was a bit of the sound of waves crashing. Xu Qing suddenly remembered that man and nature or Bei Ye said in his survival that there is usually a large mangrove forest on the seaside, and these trees in front of him should be similar.
Xu Qing walked five or six miles, found a sea cliff with difficulty, climbed up, and looked east, it was the sea!
There is no gentle wind, thin waves, only rough waves, white waves, rolled up, like a thousand piles of snow, lapping the shore.
There was a fishing boat at the extreme, spreading its nets, fighting fiercely with the sea, refusing to give in at all.
Magnificent!
The white waves are surging and the swallows are falling, and the fishing boats outside Qinhuangdao are blowing.
Who does the sail know towards? There is no ocean......
Emperor Qin and Wei Wu came here at the same time, and there was a testament to the whip and the stone.
……
"Alas......" Xu Qing originally wanted to copy the poems of the great man, and adapted them, but he didn't expect that he was not full of energy, and his talent was not good, and he couldn't read the last couplet for a long time. There are a few sentences, but that momentum is far from being half as good as the previous article.
After all, what a great man wants to do is to change the world, and what Xu Qing wants to do is just to live a good life and do something to change the world by the way......
"Young master, go down, it's windy ...... here"
"Hmm, let's go to the county seat of Haixing County, I have a way." Xu Qing thought to himself that there was only one way, to cut down forests to create salt pans. Not only for the consideration of the people of Haixing, but also for the debt owed by that blank holy decree.
"What the young master does, it's all big things, hehe......" The cow laughed innocently. Walking to the bottom of the cliff, Xu Qing saw that there was a fisherman with a hat standing next to the tied donkey.
"Hey, vulna fisherman, what are you doing?" The cow was grazing, thinking that someone had stolen the donkey, and hurriedly drank it.
"General Niu, don't be surprised, the little old man is looking for Lord Thorn Shi......" said in a hoarse voice.
Xu Qing's face sank, and his hand had already touched the fire in his arms. gun, said, "How did you know about me?" ”
