Chapter 22: Curiosity Kills Cats
The two people in the hall were silent for a while, Yang Yaozong took a sip of tea, looked at Yin Ruxin, who seemed to be still looking forward to it, and said: "The promotion of new crops is a long process, and it will not be effective so quickly." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info And it is best to plant and promote it in the hidden villages first, and plant it first on the land that is not usually used for planting, and you can still plant the rice and other crops that the government requires you to plant. Of course, there will be a lot of problems in the trial planting stage and the later promotion stage, but I believe that as long as the first batch of sweet potatoes can be harvested smoothly and your people can see the benefits of planting sweet potatoes, then they will slowly accept it and be willing to plant. And growing sweet potatoes is just a little more effort. It does not interfere with the requirements of normal officials. So the worst outcome is that it can't be promoted. But as long as it doesn't hurt your people. “
Yin Ruxin agrees with Yang Yaozong's plan and plan. Staring at Yang Yaozong, his beautiful eyes were full of appreciation for Yang Yaozong.
"If the world is rich and healthy, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, but if the national strength is weak, there are wars and chaos outside, disasters inside, the country has no peace, and disasters continue year after year. So how can we tell the people to live and work in peace and contentment? In fact, the people of Da Zhou are the most simple and kind people, as long as they can eat and wear, they will live a life of peace of mind. Even if they suffer some grievances, they will endure it. I will still work hard and create a lot of value for the country. As far as I know, there was a serious famine a few years ago, when there was no grain harvest, and although the imperial court also opened warehouses to release grain, there were still corpses all over the field, but they all starved to death. But everyone has the right to live, so in order to survive, people will abandon morality and ethics, sell themselves, sell their wives and children, and have nothing to sell to live, they will eat trees, grass, and dead animal corpses, and even eat dead people, if they have nothing to eat, they will eat soil. People become people who don't look like people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts.
But is the cause of all this a natural disaster? Since ancient times, in the event of a disaster, someone will inevitably lose their conscience and make a fortune from it. God is ruthless, but man is merciful. In the event of a natural disaster, those in power can respond quickly and reasonably. Take proactive post-disaster first aid measures. If we all work together, the spread of disasters and even the harm to the people will be controlled within a certain range. If the aftermath of a disaster is not stopped, but will spread indefinitely, then it must be the cause of man-made disasters. I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people.
After several years of recuperation, although the people are not doing well, they can finally live. I didn't see any riots or uprisings in the country. Although there are Hu people outside the Great Zhou now, the interior is not peaceful. But in the eyes of the people of the Great Zhou, who could not see the smoke of war and intrigues, although they did not live a rich life, they still thought that the Great Zhou was still the most powerful. It shows that today's rulers still have a certain ability, not idle, or know how to make good use of others. And if all the people of the country are united, then the outcome of the war with the Hu people should be promising. I just don't know how long the war will last. However, if someone takes advantage of the external enemy attack to disturb the border passes, and then creates internal strife, then this person is guilty of ill intentions. Saying this, Yang Yaozong was a little excited, and Yin Ruxin didn't interrupt him. She wanted him to continue, she wanted to know how he thought about the current Da Zhou in his heart. But when Yang Yaozong said the back, her mood was a little complicated.
Yang Yaozong took a sip of tea and continued: "My wife is a well-known talented woman in the Great Zhou, and she can guard the border for the Great Zhou, so I believe that she must still believe in the current imperial court." Thousands of miles to the plane, Guan Shan is like flying. Shuoqi spreads the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron coat. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. Yang Yaozong suddenly remembered this sentence in Mulan's words. Although he has never met Nangong Qingyi and has no feelings, he also wants to meet this heroine. I just don't know when I'll see you. Yang Yaozong paused for a moment and continued: "Nangong Qingyi believes in the imperial court, and the current Great Zhou may disappoint many people, but she still chooses to defend the Great Zhou. Even defend with your life. So I still believe in her choice. Da Zhou should still be saved.
Although I am a son-in-law, I don't care about everything. I want to live a peaceful and peaceful life, but if the country is ruined, where will I go to live my free life. So when I saw the plants that Bruno was growing, I knew what they were for. I know what they mean. So I wanted to spread the word about them. I can't say how many people can be helped, but at least some people can be helped. You can contribute a little to the stability of the country. Contribution, no matter how big or small. Just do it. But it's hard to do that right now, with my position. In fact, I know that it is more difficult to promote new crops in Dazhou. It's not that you can plant whatever you want if you have land. Whatever you want to plant must be approved by the government, and you must have tenants willing to plant and take care of it for you. As for the planting of new crops, even if you pay several times the wages to the tenants, they do not dare to plant, they are afraid that they will not take good care of it, and they are afraid that the harvest will not be good, which will affect the harvest of the employer and affect their own reputation. As a result, tenants will only grow crops that they are familiar with. Although you and I have not been in contact with each other much, from your conversations with me, I always feel that you have the ability to promote in your hometown. At least it will help your people. Now Nangong Qingyi is busy guarding the border pass, and when the border pass is stable, I will also talk to her about this matter. I think she's smart and capable enough to spread the word about it. But it's not too late, as it will take years to get a new crop from seed to scale. So I still hope you'll agree to do this first. I believe that once the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes is promoted, the lives of the people of Dazhou will definitely be greatly improved.
Well... What I said today scares you! In fact, if you hadn't told me about your hometown people that day, maybe I wouldn't have the idea of promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes. Maybe it's just a matter of eating on your own. After all, I don't see and feel that my people are being discriminated against and persecuted. Therefore, today I will speak to you openly and honestly what is in my heart. You said, "If I dare to say it, you will believe it." I remember. “
Yin Ruxin stared at Yang Yaozong carefully, his willow eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression was complicated, "According to what Yang Yaozong said today, what he is trying to do to help King Qin now is a man-made disaster. It belongs to aiding and abetting. But Yang Yaozong is not her, and there are some things he can't empathize with as he said. Even if their own people no longer go hungry, their own people will still be discriminated against and oppressed. I don't know if I help Queen Qin, if I succeed, whether King Qin will fulfill my promise when he becomes emperor. But I still have a hint of fantasy. There is also the death of the valley owner, although it is confusing, but he will still do it according to the last words of the valley owner for the time being. Then the current self is on the opposite side of him. Although it is not yet an enemy. And what about the future? He is the husband of Nangong Qingyi, and he said that he believes in Nangong Qingyi, so one day he will be his enemy after all. “
"You... Why do you want to enter the Nangong Mansion?" Yin Ruxin finally asked a question that she had never thought of answering. She bit her lips tightly, looking at Yang Yaozong's eyes with determination, she wanted to know the answer. Although she knew that she shouldn't ask, she wanted to know the man who had walked into her heart in front of her, this man who was talented and strategic, and maybe could have a deeper strategy, this man who made her feel strange and scared today. Why do you want to get into it, is it really just a love for Nangong? But if Nangong Qingyi knew that he was so good, why would he let him get into trouble? Does he really want to be hidden? But if you want to be hidden, you don't have to be in the world. Why worry about the country if you want to hide in the world? But if he doesn't want to hide from the world, why should he be in trouble with his talents? She had a headache thinking about it. Can't think of an answer. She wanted him to give herself an answer.
Yang Yaozong looked at Yin Ruxin's complicated eyes, the corners of his mouth on the left side were slightly raised, and he smiled softly as if helplessly: "My words still scared you after all." “
Yang Yaozong said in his heart: "If I would guess through the matter of the clock and the telescope, the scientific and technological development of the country of Bruno has far exceeded the matter of the Great Zhou. If the Great Zhou still closes itself off from the country, does not develop science and technology, and does not communicate with the world, one day it will face the invasion and division of some advanced countries in the world. And those countries will cause countless unbearable tragic things in the land of the Great Zhou to speak. I don't know if she'll think she's a far-sighted person or if she'll think she's an old monster. “
"Actually, I don't know why I got rich, maybe I just wanted to get rich on that day. So it was a mistake. Well, in fact, in the face of the fact that I am already a son-in-law, why should I be entangled in the past? Yang Yaozong replied perfunctorily.
Yin Ruxin heard Yang Yaozong's perfunctory answer, and his willow eyebrows furrowed. But he was also moved by him, "Yes, why bother with the fact that he is already a son-in-law?" What's the use of knowing why he's in trouble? What can I do? Even if he is not a son-in-law, he is also in the opposite direction with him, so what can he do? Her heart ached.
Yang Yaozong saw that Yin Ruxin was still frowning, shook his head and joked with a smile: "Hmm... Don't be too curious about me, um... Do you know how cats die? ”
Yin Ruxin still maintained a deep frown, still thinking about the question just now, and when he heard Yang Yaozong's words, he just "Huh? "Yes.
Yang Yaozong looked at Yin Ruxin with a smile and said mysteriously: "Legend has it that cats have nine lives, and they can't die no matter what. As a result, because of one thing, all nine lives were planted in it. Guess what? ”
Yin Ruxin bit her lips tightly, looked at the mysterious Yang Yaozong, gently brushed a strand of hair from her ears, her thoughts moved out of the tangled question just now, she thought about Yang Yaozong's question, and asked with doubts in her eyes: "Because of what died?" In fact, she was more curious about why Yang Yaozong asked this question.
Yang Yaozong stared at Yin Ruxin and said mysteriously: "The cat died because of curiosity. All nine lives died of curiosity. Curiosity kills cats! You're like a cat, don't be too curious about me, it's not going to die, but I'm afraid I'll hurt you. For a person to be curious, it is nothing more than because of two things, one because of love and the other because of hate. Do you think you'd be curious about someone you don't care about for no reason? So why are you curious about me? “
Yin Ruxin was hit by Yang Yaozong, and her jade face suddenly turned crimson. My heart also panicked.
Yang Yaozong looked at her only because this joke made her shy. Ben ha laughed a few times and said, "I'm joking with you." I saw you sullen just now, and I wanted to play a joke with you. Don't worry about it. “
Yin Rubei bit her lips tightly, as if she was about to bite blood, her ten fingers clenched into fists, and her nails were deeply buttoned into her palms. Forced Yan smiled a little, and then turned her head away, because she didn't think the joke was ridiculous. She really wanted to cry now. She turned her back to Yang Yaozong, and her whole body trembled a little due to the forced suppression of emotions.
When Yang Yaozong saw her appearance, his brows furrowed. He has seen Yin Ruxin's smile, a anger and anger, seen her breezy and calm, seen her resentful like the sea, seen her smile like a flower, seen her sad and angry, he seems to think that she is really like a cat, when she is quiet and lazy, everyone wants to approach and caress it, but when she is angry, she will stretch out her claws and scratch her enemies fiercely. Yang Yaozong's heart seemed to be touched by the sound of Ruxin. An inexplicable complicated mood arose. This woman, like herself, seems to be open to everyone, but in fact wraps her defenses very tightly. He felt that this woman had a lot of secrets in her heart. Yang Yaozong suddenly felt this feeling.
He got up and walked over to Yin Ruxin to comfort her, but his hand was raised in the air but he couldn't fall.
