Chapter 369: Infatuation

Although the imperial court gave Li Ling a knighthood, it still did not exempt him from the position of Lanzhou prefect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He naturally had nothing to do in the capital, so he only waited for the court to assign other duties after he got married.

When this **** passed by the kitchen, he heard the conversation between Feng Yu and his mother.

Their mother and daughter followed Li Ling to Jingshi, and Feng Yu has been taking care of Li Ling's diet at the Li family, and sometimes Feng's mother also helps.

"Yu'er, you have thought about it, the emperor Li Ling gave three wives one at a time, if you want to join in again, I'm afraid it's not easy, not to mention that you're not sure if he has you in his heart, why are you waiting hard?"

"Mother, no matter whether he has me in his heart or not, I will follow him, I just need to stay quietly by his side and take care of Li Ling's diet! As long as he doesn't get tired of the food I cook, I'll always follow him! ”。

Since Li Ling and Ma Qiang saved his life, Feng Yu completely gave her heart to Li Ling, no matter what, she will never like anyone else in this life!

Li Ling's heart trembled, after he returned to Beijing, everything was troubled, first Liu Yu was beheaded, and then Zhou's death.

He has been so busy these days that he really forgot about Feng Yu and didn't take into account her feelings at all!

Andre had returned from his voyage with many seeds, which had now borne fruit, and he naturally wanted to go and see them.

"Feng Yu, you and I should go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to have a look, there are a lot of good things there?"

"Li Ling. You and Yang Ying are about to get married, and according to the rules, you can't meet casually! ”。

Feng Yu was naturally very happy when she saw that Li Ling was going to call herself when she went out of the city, but she still reminded Li Ling in a low voice that she didn't want Li Ling to break the rules.

Li Ling shook his head, there were still more than twenty days before their wedding, and even if he met the third daughter, it would not violate the local customs.

What Feng Yu didn't expect was that Li Ling did not ride a horse this time, but got into the carriage like her.

The space in the car was not very large, Feng Yu and Li Ling sat side by side, and each could hear each other's heartbeats.

When Li Ling suddenly pulled Feng Yu's little hand, her heartbeat was even stronger.

She wanted to struggle, but she didn't break free from Li Ling's grasp, and her face turned even redder!

Li Ling glanced at her coquettish/shy appearance and said, "Yu'er, I heard what you said with your aunt in the kitchen yesterday!" ”。

Feng Yu didn't expect Li Ling to tell her this, she was even more shy, if there was a crack in the ground at this time, she could get into it.

"If you don't live up to me, I won't live up to you!". Li Ling whispered and hugged Feng Yu into his arms.

Smelling the faint fragrance on her body, Li Ling was a little intoxicated.

"Li Ling, this time we went to Zhuangzi outside the city just to visit the three sisters?" Feng Yu was also intoxicated by this atmosphere, and she hid in Li Ling's arms and asked in a whisper.

Li Ling was so eager to go outside the city, as if he had encountered something very big.

"You'll know when you get there, and I'll introduce you to a new grain when the time comes!"

Li Ling was naturally very anxious about the harvest of several new crops.

These seeds were planted by his own hands, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are all kinds of dozens of mothers, and peppers are also planted more than a dozen acres, if there is a bumper harvest, there will be enough seeds for the next year!

When he was still in the northwest, he already knew that these crops had achieved a "bumper harvest", but he didn't know what kind of harvest the so-called harvest of the ancients was, and whether it could enter Li Ling's eyes.

The third girl was very surprised to see Li Ling coming, but when she saw him, she understood when she turned her attention to several crops.

The seeds were piled up in the utility room, the sweet potatoes and potatoes were still stained with mud, and the whole storeroom was so wet that they must have not been dried at all when they were put away.

What made Li Ling even more puzzled was that the corn in the warehouse was still with the cob.

"Young Master, you said that these ...... This corn is something on the cob, so I'm going to have everyone collect all the corn on the cob! ”。

The person in charge of this seed was also a bookkeeper in Dachang Qianzhuang, and when he saw Li Ling's worried look, he had to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

Li Ling was a little distressed when he looked at these seeds placed horizontally, but he couldn't get angry at will, after all, no one else had seen these seeds, and he didn't know how to deal with them!

"Forget it, you go and notify the nearby villagers now, call all the villagers who have free time, ask them to come over and help dry the grain, and tell them that each person has one penny a day, regardless of gender!"

Li Ling spent a lot of effort to get these seeds, and he was very distressed to lose one.

The bookkeeper was slightly startled, he now knew that he had made a big mistake.

Now it only takes two or three dollars of silver to recruit a guy to do things a month, but Li Ling generously gave the price of one dollar a day, which shows the importance of these seeds.

Although it was late autumn at this time, the bookkeeper's sweat was still dripping.

"What, are there any more questions?". Li Ling asked sharply.

The bookkeeper was still standing in the warehouse and refused to leave, obviously in a difficult situation.

"Young Master, now is the season of sowing, everyone is busy planting wheat, if there is a delay, I am afraid that the harvest of the next year will be delayed, although you give a lot of remuneration, but you may not be able to recruit many villagers to come!" The bookkeeper said hesitantly.

During the autumn harvest, he also watched the villagers harvest the crops in the field before hiring someone to help.

Since the villagers didn't have time to help, and these seeds couldn't be kept in the warehouse like this for a long time, Li Ling could only ask people to go to the barracks to transfer the Li family army over.

Xiaoba also stayed in the barracks, and when he got Li Ling to ask dozens of soldiers to help in the Zhuangzi outside the city, he took the initiative to bring two hundred people over.

If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, Li Ling would definitely not use the army!

These two hundred people were all cavalry, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at Li Ling's manor.

"Young Master, I don't know what you called me to wait here for this time?" Xiao Hachi was also a little dumbfounded when he looked at the grain piled up everywhere in the warehouse, could it be that the eldest young master hurriedly transferred them here for this?

"Take your people, move all the seeds in this warehouse outside, and do as told!" Li Ling immediately gave them an order.

These seeds weighed tens of thousands of catties, and it took the soldiers nearly half an hour to move them outside.

"Young Master, I think it's better to go back and call some people!" Hachi couldn't help but say.

When he learned that he was going to buckle the corn from the corn cob one by one, he realized that he had brought a little less people!

A soldier was instructed by Hachi to find hundreds of people in the barracks.

Three hundred people worked together, and in less than an hour the job was almost done!

For the sake of these seeds, Li Ling actually called the army over, and made such a big move, how could the tenants in the village not know?

As soon as the soldiers put down their hands, an old man came over with a dozen croppers.

"My lord, can you tell the old man why you attach so much importance to these grains?"

The old man happily asked the question in his heart.

Li Ling personally led people to plant these crops, and found a bookkeeper in Dachang Qianzhuang to manage these crops.

Li Ling had spent a lot of effort on these kinds of crops, and now he even used them in the army in order to preserve these seeds!

The tenants were very curious, so they begged the old man to take them over to have a look!

The soldiers pricked up their ears when they heard this, and they also wanted to know why.

"Let's put it this way, these three crops are several times higher than the yield of wheat, sweet potatoes and potatoes have a yield of about 1,500 catties per mu, but jade is a great substitute for wheat!"

In ancient times, one catty and sixteen taels, compared to two or three hundred catties of wheat per mu, the three crops were naturally considered to be high-yielding.

About 1,500 pounds! The tenants were amazed at the yield.

"My lord, are you telling the truth?" The old man asked in a trembling voice.

He's lived so long that he'd never heard of such a high-yielding crop!

The other tenants whispered to each other, if this was true, they would not be afraid of starvation in the future!

"Sir, tell the villagers how much land we use to grow these crops!"

Li Ling didn't want to say more, everything was proved by reality!

"My lord, there are more corn seeds, a total of thirty acres of land have been planted, twenty acres of sweet potatoes and twenty acres of potatoes!" The bookkeeper easily reported the data, and he was familiar with them.

Looking at the dense variety of crops placed on the ground, the elder casually made a visual inspection, and he found that the data given by Li Ling may have some reservations.

"Young Master, you haven't eaten these crops, I don't know what they taste?" Hachi's heart was full of doubts, how did he know that there were these high-yielding crops in the West?

But then he thought of Andre and his son, and these two guys must have told the eldest young master.

Hachi's question completely attracted everyone's ideas, and everyone wanted to know the answer.

"Everyone has worked hard today, so we will use these crops to cook a meal for you to taste!"

Li Ling ordered the soldiers to pick up some dry corn, and he led everyone to a tenant's house with a stone mill to dispose of the corn!

He went into the kitchen with some more sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"Feng Yu, let's eat something Xihan today!".

Li Ling asked the girls to boil a pot of polenta, put some sweet potatoes in it, and copied a few plates of potatoes!

Feng Yu looked outside while fiddling with the food, she didn't expect that Li Ling had come to the village in a hurry with her for these crops.

What a vision he had! Feng Yu looked a little stupid.

"I already knew that you also wanted Li Ling!". Yang Ying walked up to her at some point and said, "I will match you if I have a chance!" ”。

"Thank you, sister!". Feng Yu blushed when she saw that it was Yang Ying, originally she wanted to deny it, but she didn't expect the ghost to say thank you!

Where can a pot of polenta be drunk by three hundred soldiers, everyone is just a casual taste.

Li Ling personally served a bowl of porridge, and brought a plate of potatoes to the old man.

The old man was not polite, he took the chopsticks and ate them.

The polenta was potatoes, and the old man quickly drank the gruel.

"How's it going, are you still eating this meal?" Although he knew the answer, Li Ling still hoped to be able to say it from the old man's mouth!

"Eat, of course, eat, if you supply these crops for a long time in a famine year, it is difficult to accumulate great virtues!" The old man couldn't help but sigh and asked Li Ling, "Lord Li, I wonder if we, the tenants, will be able to plant these crops in the coming year?" ”。

The old man's eyes stared straight at Li Ling, full of longing.

"I'm sorry, I'm still going to plant these crops myself, and the extra seeds will naturally be handed over to you, but I can give the bottom to my father-in-law, if it's a tenant who grows these crops, I won't charge a penny of rent!"

In order to spread these crops as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if Li Ling collects less rent!

The tenants were a little disappointed, but they knew that these high-yielding crops were close to them, and it would be their turn to plant them sooner or later.

I will never be afraid of famine again!

After sending off the soldiers and tenants, Li Ling came to the kitchen again and drank a bowl of polenta with Yang Ying and the girls.

"Li Ling, I really didn't expect this porridge to be so delicious, can we eat these things often in the future?".

Li Yanyu also likes to eat these kinds of things!

"Maybe in two years, but not now! We have to keep enough seeds! ”。 Li Ling shook his head, these seeds are all treasures right now, and they must not be touched.

"Don't worry, you can eat as much as you like in a few years!". Yang Ying quietly pulled Li Yanyu aside.

The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. This is the style of a gentleman!

The soldiers came to dry the crops every day, and the news that there was a treasure in Li Ling's village gradually spread.

Several landlords wanted to plant these crops, but they were all rejected by Li Ling!

Among them were several large merchants who followed Andre to the west to trade.

Li Ling clearly told them that these discoveries were so many in the West that they could let their own fleet go out to sea to find them.

Li Ling actually used the army to do farm work on his own Zhuangzi without authorization, what kind of system!

The queen came to the imperial study in anger to accuse Li Ling of disobeying her mother and using the army without authorization.

Although the Holy Decree allowed Li Ling to take the Li family army into Beijing, these armies were no longer militia groups, but guarded armies with a clear formation.

He is violating military discipline by doing so!

"I have written down the two things that the queen reacted to, and I will order someone to investigate!"

Li Ling is a protΓ©gΓ© of Tanhua and the Son of Heaven.

The emperor naturally knew about Li Ling's background, his mother died more than ten years ago, and Zhou was just his aunt.

As for the unauthorized use of the army, he believed that Li Ling would have a reasonable reason!

He's definitely not an indifferent person.

"You ......" The empress didn't expect the emperor to be so protective of Li Ling, she snorted coldly and left the imperial study.

In the early dynasties, many ministers suddenly impeached Li Ling, the reason was that he used the army without authorization, and the emperor had no choice but to let the crown prince bring people to investigate.
