Chapter 21: Arrival at the Fiefdom

After a detailed introduction, Du He told Wu Zhao about the benefits of the partnership.

It means that Chang'an dragons and snakes are mixed, and if you want to mix up a piece of the world, it is impossible to do it without the support of the background.

As the prime minister, he is the prime minister, and he is the new generation of people that Li Shimin admires the most, and Chang'an will sell him a face, and with him as his backing, Wu Zhao can better exert his ability.

Wu Zhao was already a brilliant figure with unparalleled intelligence, and after listening to Du Heyi's explanation, he understood his thoughts, and his mind turned. I don't have any foundation in Chang'an, if I can get the support of the Du family, it will be beneficial to my own development.

It's just that on the vast long road to Luoyang, Wu Zhao felt the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the world was full of states. Therefore, some stubborn decisions do not rely on others, and only rely on their own skills to forge a path.

Duhe's support is very different from her original idea.

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhao resolutely rejected Du He's invitation, and said solemnly: "I have already received the great favor of my son, and I really don't want to owe my son anything more." ”

"In that case, I won't force it!" What kind of character is Du He, how can he not see that Wu Zhao is insincere in his words.

Wu Zhao seems to be a Qianqian woman, but her surname is strong, but she is not inferior to men, and she doesn't want to rely on anyone, she just wants to rely on herself.

From her own will, she can indeed get great benefits, but it is not what she wants.

For Wu Zhao's decision, it was actually expected by Du He.

Wu Zhao is Wu Zetian, if she changes her mind so easily, she will not be her.

"I will return to Chang'an soon, and you can come to Du Mansion to find me if you have something!" Du He said a polite word, and knew from the bottom of his heart that she had rejected herself today, and she would not come to her in the future when she encountered trouble.

That's it, Du He is still optimistic about the strong little girl in front of her, without her own support, she may suffer some setbacks, but with her intelligence, she can break out of her own world.

Wu Zhao was worried about his family and left first.

Du Heluo made preparations and left Luoyang with Du Ziying.

Last night's murder caused Luoyang to impose martial law, and the number of headhunters on the road and the guards at the city gate were twice as many as before.

But all this has nothing to do with Du He, he has destroyed all the evidence, and after the investigation, Du He calmly left Luoyang.

After three days of traveling all the way south, Du He finally came to Du Ruhui's fiefdom.

As Du Ziying said, this is a rare feng shui treasure land, the land is fertile, the people are simple, and along the way, you can see the people working hard in the fields. What is even more worthy of Duhe's attention is that in the open space adjacent to the village, many teenagers are riding donkeys and horses in a polo game.

Most of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the age when teenagers are active and fun, and the youngest of them is a child of ** years old, and it will not take ten years to go on like this, and these people are all qualified cavalry candidates.

Outside Ruyang City, the Du family has a separate courtyard.

This is where Du He's mother or eldest brother lives when she takes time to inspect and manage the fiefdom every year, and it is also where Du He lives now.

I heard that the two young owners had arrived in the fiefdoms, and the stewards came to visit them one after another.

Du He also showed the demeanor of the young owner, received condolences one by one, and helped his mother check the accounts and deal with some trivial matters.

Du He flipped through the accounts handed over by the stewards of the village, made a little calculation, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the harvest in the past few years has been very unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, especially the gap between this year and last year is the most serious, I don't know what you think about this?" ”

As soon as Du He's words came out, everyone who came secretly took a breath of cool air.

They calculate these accounts almost every day, summarize them month by month, and want to calculate them clearly and clearly, but it is difficult for them veterans to do it without spending a few hours.

But Du He just flipped through it, and it only took a few cups of tea before and after and didn't use pen and paper to detect the abnormality, and this ability made them all dumbfounded.

But I didn't know that Du He was smart since he was a child, with a very high IQ, and he was not a problem with the mental arithmetic of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

What's more, Zhang's and Du Gou's families are in a good way, and these accounts are sorted out clearly and clearly, as long as they make a little calculation, they can calculate the total harvest of the year, and when they compare the two, they naturally notice that there is a problem.

Of course, these studies were common in the 21st century, but in the Tang Dynasty, they were a remarkable skill.

At first, these bookmakers and stewards also despised Du He, who had never interfered in housework, but when he said this, none of them dared to slack off and were in awe.

This capable person is respected everywhere.

The changes in everyone, Du He saw it in his eyes, smiled knowingly, and said: "Du He did not blame you in this remark, my father once said that most of you are brothers who were born and died with him, and you are absolutely trustworthy." It's just that since the problem has arisen, we should find a way to solve it. You say no! ”

The dealer and the steward heard Du He say this, and nodded in agreement.

The eldest dealer in the upper right said: "This starts with the lord's fiefdom, five years ago, the lord's fief was still a feng shui treasure that everyone was jealous of." Just because of the presence of the Ru River, the Ru River almost spans the entire fiefdom of the old man. Nourished by the River Joux, we live and work in peace and contentment on this land. But everything has changed since five years ago. That year, the rain was flooded and there was a big flood. The flood flooded three villages. In order to prevent the same thing from happening next time, the young owner leveled the upper mountain land to build houses and build a new village. Since then, the River Joux has been unstable and flooded almost year after year. The quality of the harvest depends on the mood of the Ru River, and the income is extremely unstable. This year's weather is not good, so the harvest is extremely poor! ”

"Why don't you build the dam?" Du He nodded in understanding, this flood is a natural disaster, and no one can avoid it.

The elder sighed: "After five years of cultivation, it has no effect!" ”

"It must be because the eldest brother leveled the mountains and destroyed the water and soil!" Du He thought of the crux of the matter, and said after a moment of silence: "I have a plan, first we can go to the nearby mountains and forests to transplant trees that are more than 30 years old, and plant them along the banks of the Ru River, especially in the upper reaches of the river, and then build a dam to protect everything. ”

"Is it feasible to use trees to control water?" Many bookmakers and stewards have raised questions.

"It must work." I am full of confidence in this Duhe.

"Secondly, don't plant rice on both sides of the Ru River, rice is too fragile and easy to die, why don't you plant pears instead? Pear trees are resistant to waterlogging and are not a problem as long as they are not soaked for a long time. And pears are also easy to sell, the meat is crispy and juicy, sweet and sour, and it can also be used in medicine, and pear blossoms can also make wine, a tree is multi-purpose, and I am not afraid that I will not make money. ”

Du He squinted and smiled as he spoke, there is no other reason why he knows so much about pears, since he was a child, his favorite fruit is pears. When I think of trees to protect against flooding, the first thing that comes to mind is planting pear trees.

Du He said that all the dealers and stewards were moved.

Du Ziying frowned and said, "But the growth of this pear tree is not a one-time achievement." ”

Du He also understood this, nodded and said: "In this way, from now on, if pear trees are planted on both sides of the Ru River, they will be exempted from rent and tax until the harvest is harvested, what do you think?" ”

Du He's move was all for the people to consider, how could they refuse, and they all agreed.

Then Du He dealt with some trivial matters, focusing on the life of the people in the fiefdom everywhere. His style of not seeking big returns has been praised and recognized by the bookmakers and stewards, and they have praised Du He for his young and promising.

After everything was dealt with, Du He explained his intention to the dealer and the steward.

Most of the people in the territory were government soldiers, and when he heard that Du He wanted to recruit some personal guards and train some young guards. These dealers and stewards were full of good feelings towards Du He, and at this time they all volunteered to take it down, and repeatedly said that they would arrange the most courageous warrior for Du He to be his own soldiers.
