The ground was silvery white, Yang Ling came back from the inner factory in a hurry, threw the horsewhip to his family, rubbed his hands and walked to the porch and asked with a smile: "No one has been here today, right?" ”
The executive's family untied the black and gold-rimmed lint for him, and replied: "It snowed heavily last night, and a few adults may feel that the road is inconvenient, and the day is quite quiet today."
The big robe was removed, revealing a yellow python robe, which was similar to the dragon robe, but on the robe was a four-clawed golden dragon, which was one less claw than the dragon robe. Python robes, flying fish robes, and bullfighting robes are not included in the imperial court official uniform system, and belong to the emperor's special rewards.
Now Liu Jin and Gu Dayong have also been given python robes, but Gu Dayong's python robe is an oblique single python, and the python robe worn by Yang Ling and Liu Jin is a forward-facing python, and there are four pythons on the robe, which is especially noble.
Yu Yong came back from the south, and the Hui merchants and the Shaanxi merchants who mainly dealt in rice and grain and tea and horses agreed to cooperate with the inner factory under the temptation of heavy profits, and as for the Zhejiang merchants, there was great power behind these huge rich gentry.
With their joining, coupled with the cooperation of the eunuchs in various places, the inner factory overshadowed the East Factory and Jinyiwei, which had been operating for many years, and quickly gained a firm foothold in the south, and had great energy.
Yang Ling didn't expect Yu Yong, who had never been favored by others, to have such a great ability, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, so he invited a few powerful henchmen to come to the house with their families to drink and hold a meeting together.
Now Zhu Zhishan has been happy to go to Taoyuan to take office, he brought several family members who can grow these Nanyang species into Beijing, to Yang Ling's surprise is that in addition to corn but also peppers, peanuts and potatoes, as well as seeds of an ornamental plant, according to the farmer's description of the crop, Yang Ling knew that the flower is called tomato.
This is the farmer who came back from the disaster in the South Seas, it is simply the Tang Sanzang who retrieved the Mahayana scriptures, Yang Ling smiled with joy, such a nutritious and easy-to-grow fruit, remember that it has been considered poisonous by people in the West for many years, but now it will first blossom and bear fruit in Daming and benefit the world.
learned from Zhuzhi Pass that Tang Bohu and the others were very envious when they heard about him, and they also expressed their desire to become an official and serve the court, but he was not in a hurry about this matter.
Yang Ling looked at these gentlemen who painted the Spring Palace and really didn't want to be the material of the county lord, and was ready to open the sea ban in the future and have a cultural diplomacy.
What excited him the most was that the craftsmen of the Flame Hunter Yasan and the Inner Factory had finally developed a new type of musket, which had a range of 40 zhang, twice as far as the original firecracker, and a rate of fire six times faster, and its threatening power was really unspeakable compared to before.
When Yang Ling saw the gun, it was still a little difficult to load the ammunition, and he remembered that modern guns seemed to have rifling in the barrel, and the bullet would rotate when it came out of the chamber, and the centrifugal force would make the bullet go farther.
Yang Ling tried to explain this principle to these ordnance experts, and then drew the basic structure of modern bullets, and these craftsmen, who had just won a big prize, immediately devoted themselves to new research. Yang Ling knew that the treatment of inventors at that time was simply pitiful, so he gave several craftsmen and masters rich rewards, so that many directors and stalls in the inner factory were blushing.
He originally wanted to ask the firefighter Yasan to help improve the artillery, the role of artillery on the battlefield in ancient and modern times is not trivial, and the lethality is amazing, but the materials in his hands are not enough to study this large firearm, and it is also a taboo in the imperial court.
Yang Ling stomped his feet on the snow and walked into the hall, thinking: "Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, and Miao Kui haven't come to the house today, and there is no movement in Jiao Fang, it seems that there is nothing big in the court, I'll go and see how the seedlings are planted, that's my top baby."
He turned his head to look at the spire more than a hundred feet away diagonally, it was the newly built cathedral, which had begun to take shape, and now the work had been stopped due to the cold weather and snow, and the spire was covered with snow, which was quite exotic.
Yang Ling smiled slightly, and slowly walked into the back garden, the garden was covered in silver, powdered jade, and the rockery stone corridor was extraordinary. There is a burst of mellow piano sound in the distance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, like entering a fairyland.
Yang Ling slowed down, listened to the sound of the piano, and said in his heart: "Who is stroking the piano, listening to this skillful tone, it is obviously not a young lady who has just learned and practiced, if it is not Xuelimei, it must be a rhyme."
Yang Ling originally wanted to use his influence on the emperor, even if he could not fully open the sea ban, he would forcibly open one or two ports, especially Tianjin Wei, which was close to the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it must be opened, the geographical location here was not as good as that of the south, but the political position was too important.
As long as one-third of these people are willing to agree with their own concepts, they will not worry that the Ming Dynasty will not lift the sea ban early.
Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns, first because of the lifting of the ban and involving cultivated land, from cultivated land to improved species, until now, the most important purpose has not been mentioned on the journey, and Cheng Qiyun's return journey has been slowed down again and again, and she has lived in Yang's mansion.
Walking into the piano room of the flower hall, Yang Ling couldn't help but be surprised, the woman with ten slender fingers and was stroking the piano with extremely graceful eyebrows was actually Gao Wenxin. She was wearing a short jacket of silver sable skin, lined with an elegant appearance, red lips and white teeth, and when she saw Yang Ling coming in, Gao Wen's eyes were happy, and she hurriedly reached out and pressed the strings.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Gao Wenxin slipped off the Luohan bed, his plain face flushed slightly, and he blessed slightly: "I've seen adults."
Since the palace handed over the will, Gao Wen was fed by the imperial court, and after being appointed as a female official of the Tai Hospital, Yang Ling opened another house in the garden of several acres of land in the backyard, which was specially for the Gao family sisters and brothers to live in.
Gao Wenxin was originally called Master Yang Ling, and after cutting off the identity of the slave and maid, she was the young lady's sworn sister, so she should call Yang Ling her brother-in-law.
Yang Ling saw that she was wearing a light blue thread-lined skirt, and when she went to the ground, she faintly appeared pale red makeup knee pants at the bottom of the skirt, and gold and red crested high-soled shoes. Standing still, tall and tall, a pair of sapphire pendants under the delicate ears of ingots shook gently, with a unique elegant beauty.
Yang Ling smiled: ""The Wind Enters the Song"? This is what the young lady learned, I love to listen to it very much, and it is easy to fall asleep after listening to such an elegant tune at night, and I can't imagine that you also like this song. Why is it that only you are there, and what about the others? ”
Gao Wenxin's pretty face turned red when she heard it, she just heard the young lady say that Yang Ling likes to listen to this song the most, and there is no score in her hand, so she came to Cheng Qiyun to learn it seriously, how can this daughter talk about Yang Ling's heart, she glanced at the bed with a smile, and said softly: "Oh, there is another one, your Cheng second gear head is also there."
Yang Ling noticed the bed at this time, and saw that Cheng Qiyun was leaning on a brocade quilt near the bed, and there was a layer of lake-green quilt on her body, revealing only a face like snow and jade, two blushes on her cheeks, her beautiful eyes were misty, and she was sleeping fragrantly.
Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's hard for her, I've never been to the north when I'm so big, I've never experienced such cold weather, people say cat winter, cat winter, she really sleeps all day like a cat, and it's about to become hibernating."
Gao Wenxin smiled, and then glanced at Yang Ling quickly, his expression was a little strange, but Yang Ling didn't notice it. He is only twenty years old, Cheng Qiyun is six or seven years older than him, look at his inadvertent tone seems to see Cheng Qiyun younger than him, how does Gao Wenxin know that Yang Ling's real psychological age is more than ten years older than now.
Cheng Qiyun vaguely heard the man's voice, opened her eyes slightly, and saw that it was Yang Ling who came, so she hurriedly sat up, lifted the quilt on her body, and said, "My lord is back, it's rude."
Yang Ling said: "It's hard for you, don't adapt to the weather in the north, right?" It's not too cold now, but when it's really cold, it's dripping into ice." When he said this, he looked at the quilt and was slightly distracted.
Cheng Qiyun's cheeks were slightly hot, she looked at her dress uncomfortably, the placket with the fragrant silk goose and reed pattern, and a green peach blossom red armor on the outside, a white silk vertical collar, makeup eyebrows, and gold bee buttons, although it was slightly bloated, but the slender waist and plump breasts were not covered, why did adults look at me like this?
Cheng Qiyun saw that Yang Ling's eyes were still hooked, and the thighs under the quilt where he looked at them seemed to be numb and itchy, she bit her lip, gently propped her hands and moved to the side of the bed, and said softly: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Huh? Oh", he took a long breath and said: "I remembered this time last year, it was much colder than now, the broken house in the ravine, the window lattices were all exposed to the wind, and there was a quilt of old cotton wool at home, which was similar to this bed, and the young lady covered me at night, and I covered the bed with a thin quilt, so I stayed up for most of the winter."
"Ahh Gao Wenxin and Cheng Qiyun's eyes widened, especially Cheng Qiyun, who had never been to the north, imagined that it was a little colder than this, there was no charcoal brazier on the edge of the kang, and the window lattice was still full of wind, wouldn't that kill people? No wonder he was so good to Han Youniang, he dared not listen to her holy decree, and he was not afraid to cut off his head.
"Alas", Yang Ling shook his head and sighed: "At that time, I thought, break out of the family business, and don't let the young lady suffer like that again, then I will be content, who knows that people's hearts will never be satisfied, now that the family business is earned, I think more."
Now standing in this position, there is a chance to make the Ming Dynasty stronger, and there is a chance to make the people richer, just ask a person with a little sense of responsibility, who can resist this temptation?
Cheng Qiyun and Gao Wenxin didn't know what was going on in his heart, but when he was referring to fame and fortune, Cheng Qiyun smiled and said: "It's not wrong for adults to think about it, yesterday it was planned for the lady, that was to fulfill the responsibility of the husband, and today it was planned for the court, that is to fulfill the responsibility of the courtiers, and to plan for future generations, in a person's life, there are always various reasons to force you to keep fighting, and if you want to stay out of the matter, you are willing to be unwilling to others."
When she said this, Yang Ling remembered, she has been back for more than a month, she has worked hard, her three-room wife is not very old, her body is immature, and she often can't bear it, and now the sweet potato seedlings in the warm cellar are growing like crazy, why haven't their bodies moved, isn't it Gao Wenxin's medical skills that have failed?
Yang Ling thought of this, a little unhappy, he sighed and said, "You continue to play the qin, I'll go to the back."
Cheng Qiyun hurriedly got off the ground, lifted her shoes, stroked the parchment gold folded skirt with seahorse tide moire, and said with a smile: "Madame is in the backyard to warm the cellar, and the lowly duty has slept enough, let's go over and take a look."
Yang Ling thought that he would need a large number of people to start sowing seeds in four places at the same time, so he hired dozens of local farming experts to learn seedling cultivation techniques from that Nanyang Chinese with high salaries.
Seeing that her husband attaches great importance to this matter and is good at farm work, Han Youniang often goes to the warm cellar to help, and at the same time learns the cultivation of these crops. Gao Wenxin and Cheng Qiyun don't know anything about these jobs, and they do have an instinctive contempt for farm work, but they are not so enthusiastic.
Yutangchun and Xue Limei no matter what they thought in their hearts, but the lady did it herself, how could they sit at home, so the two delicate and timid beauties also changed into coarse cloth clothes, followed the young lady to fertilize and water, and tended to the crops.
The warm cellar in the back garden is very large, it is built up by the officers and soldiers of the inner factory under the guidance of the royal warm cellar vegetable master, two-thirds is underground, one-third is on the ground, the canopy is covered with dense crop poles, there are special ventilation holes, six skylights are set up on the top, after the introduction of light, more than 20 huge copper mirrors are refracted and disposed of inside, and the warm cellar is reflected as bright as day.
Yang Ling, Cheng Qiyun and Gao Wenxin walked down the warm cellar after more than 20 steps, only to see three neat rows of scaffolding planted with all kinds of green seedlings, these are mainly used for trial planting, and directly transplanted locally after the beginning of spring.
Wang Donghuai, the old man who came back from Nanyang, led a few farmers to point to a clump of sweet potato seedlings and said something, and then pinched a piece and inserted it into the soil, and when he saw Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun's two daughters, he was busy and called out respectfully: "Master."
Yang Ling waved his hand and smiled: "You go on, don't worry about me." What about Madame? ”
Wang Donghuai pointed inside: "Madame is over there, and she is waiting for the old man to come up with a new thing called chili." Yang Ling was surprised and delighted when he found this chili seed, but the name Wang Donghuai said was very awkward, and he couldn't remember what it was called now, so he gave it a correct name at that time and called it chili directly.
As long as the temperature is suitable, this thing can grow in all seasons, and the first two days of view, the pepper seedlings have grown very tall, faintly spitting out white buds. Yang Ling nodded, and led the second daughter over, just a beam of light reflected directly on a trace of bright green in the distance, Han Youniang, Yutangchun, and Xue Limei were wearing green shirts with straight collars and small sleeves, wearing gray shoulders, and they were gently caressing those green seedlings with great interest.
Yang Ling called: "Young lady", Han Youniang turned her head when she heard this, and said happily: "Xianggong, come and see, these chili peppers have bloomed, and they will produce the red spicy seeds you said about shabu shabu in the future, right?" I really want to know what it tastes like", said Xiang Gao Wenxin and smiled lightly: "Sister Wenxin".
Yang Ling heard that the pepper was blooming, his feet tightened twice, and he rushed over excitedly, Han Youniang rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white arm, and pointed at Lu Miao'er with a smile and said: "Xianggong, you see, there are a lot of them, this piece is all played by me", said with her eyebrows fluttering, very happy.
The tomato next to it sprouted and grew extremely lush, Yang Ling knew that this thing needed to be pruned, but unfortunately he didn't know whether to cut it before or after flowering, let alone what to cut, but it was estimated that it was to prevent the seedlings from growing wildly, and the leaves did not grow fruits.
So he told the farmer to divide the persimmon seedlings into groups of ten, and prune them according to different methods before and after flowering, and record the pruning situation, and then judge which way is correct from the growth situation.
Yang Ling looked at the pepper, and sure enough, after only two days, a large number of flowers appeared, some of which had just bloomed, and the calyxes below were still light green.
Han Youniang grabbed his arm with a smile, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, when will it bear fruit, the kind of red, pointed fruit you are talking about?" ”
Yang Ling pinched the tip of her nose dotingly, and said with a smile: "If it grows like this, it won't grow a few fruits."
"Huh?" Han Youniang's eyes widened in shock, only to see Yang Ling bend down slightly, pick a big white flower and reach out and pinch it, Han Youniang couldn't help but cry out in distress.
I saw Yang Ling pinching the calyx, carefully swept the stamens on the stamens that had bloomed, and said with a smile: "Young lady, things produce flowers, they need to be pollinated, you usually only plant them on the ground, you must not know, right?"
The way of pollination is wind-powered, sometimes a little breeze can bring up the pollen on a flower and give it to other flowers, more often by bees, or other insects crawling on the flowers, stained with pollen, and then passing on to another flower, in this warm cellar to grow vegetables in winter, grow fruit-bearing things, the wind is too small, and there are no bees, so they have to be pollinated manually."
This truth, Mo said that Han Youniang, who can grow crops, didn't understand, Cheng Qiyun and Gao Wenxin, who read poetry and books, didn't understand, and the master sent by Yutian Nuanjiao, who happened to pass by, was extremely surprised, and said curiously: "There is such a reason? I said that the melons and fruits planted in Ping are very good, how to plant some melons and fruits for the emperor in the warm cellar in winter but very few fruits, only when the solar terms are not right, can not act against the sky, it turns out that this is the reason, the adults are really knowledgeable, and the small ones must try it after they go back. ”
Yang Ling said with a dry smile: "This is a reason, but the melons and fruits grown in winter are always not as delicious as the normal solar terms, because the temperature, sunlight, and climate are too far away, well, the taste you want to plant is good, try to imitate the environment of the corresponding solar terms."
The master nodded again and again, and was eager to rush back immediately to try to plant two trees. Pollination tree by tree is a meticulous work, it didn't take much effort for Yang Ling to lose his surname, he threw away the flowers and said: "Let's go, the ventilation here is not bad, but it's still a little stuffy, Wenxin came to see you today, let's go out for a cup of tea."
Han Youniang obediently let him hold his hand, and the group walked out with a smile. Yang Ling asked casually: "Yu'er, Xue'er, I sent six accounting rooms from the inner factory to learn the method of bookkeeping with you, have you finished teaching them now?" ”
Yu Tangchun rolled down his sleeves and replied: "Well, those six gentlemen are all old bookkeepers, but they just learned a new method, which is very fast, and it will be done in less than two days, and they have figured out a lot of truths, even Xue'er and I didn't expect it."
Yang Ling said: "That's natural, these gentlemen are experts in bookkeeping, I remember so much about this bookkeeping method, teach them, as long as they understand the truth, they will naturally supplement it more perfectly." Now that they have all learned it, it will be much easier to do, and after a while I will have to let them go to the household department, the ministry of work, etc., to teach those accounts, and it will be too much trouble for the court to count some numbers."
Xue Limei has been eager to say something, but there are many people around Yang Ling, and she can't interject, until she arrives at the mouth of the warm cellar and wants to go up the stairs, she takes the opportunity to come over, and whispers a word in Yang Ling's ear, Yang Ling turned around when he heard Huo Di, and exclaimed in surprise: "Really? ”
Then he turned his head again, hugged Han Youniang's shoulders and said, "You girl, do you want the Xianggong family law to wait?" Why did you get pregnant and didn't tell me? As he spoke, his voice trembling in surprise.
This time the sound was too loud, Cheng Qiyun and Gao Wenxin had just taken a step, their feet were soft, and they almost didn't fall, and both of them turned around with a brush, ran to Han Youniang's side, grabbed her hand and looked up and down, and asked nonsense, squeezing Yutangchun and Xue Limei aside.
Han Youniang's face was suddenly full of shame, a pair of dark eyes no one dared to look, and finally stared at the ground crampedly, and said softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly: "Well, maybe maybe, oops, Xue'er, I knew I wouldn't tell you."
She paused slightly, glared at Xue Limei with disgust, and then lowered her head shyly and said to Yang Ling: "Xianggong, people are not sure that they are afraid of empty joy, so they didn't have it right away."
Gao Wenxin immediately pulled the young lady's wrist and started the pulse, and the four times immediately fell silent, Yang Ling felt that his heart was about to jump out, Han Youniang bit her lip tightly, she didn't dare to look at Gao Wenxin's face, just looked at Xianggong's face fixedly, her eyes were glutinous, and her slightly dark face was flushed.
After a while, Gao Wenxin let out a long breath, gently put down the young lady's wrist, and Yang Ling asked anxiously: "How is it, Wenxin, young lady?" ”
Han Youniang also swallowed nervously, Gao Wenxin looked at Han Youniang with complicated eyes, and said softly: "Congratulations, young lady's sister."
Xue Limei and Yutangchun screamed with envy and joy, Yang Ling was also very happy, and took the young lady's hand and was excited for a long time, before laughing happily: "Okay, my young lady never disappoints me, hahaha, hurry up, let's go up quickly, the air here is not good, don't come down again in the future."
Han Youniang listened to Gao Wenxin's words, put a heart back in her stomach, and saw Xianggong's forgetful appearance, her heart was also extremely sweet, she gently tightened Xianggong's hand, but begged in a low voice: "Xianggong, people like to fiddle with these things, I want to see them bear fruits as red as fire, they must be very beautiful."
Yang Ling waved his big hand and said, "What's the problem then?" When I go back, I ask someone to plant ten pots and eight pots, and put them all in our house? Do you want the tomatoes and sweet potatoes? ”。
Han Youniang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said happily: "If you want it, it's great, Xianggong, you are so good to Youniang."
Yang Ling said angrily: "Then put ten pots on everything, you have something to do to be in a good mood, and your son is happy when you are in a good mood, hehehe, let's go, let's go up." ”
Yutangchun and Xue Limei hurriedly hugged Han Youniang left and right, making Han Youniang angry and laughing, and said angrily: "What are you doing, I'm fine, but it's you, Yu'er, I almost fell down just now, I don't have to help it."
Yang Ling also felt that she had just become pregnant, so there was no need to make such a fuss, but looking at the steep stairs, this heart was still hanging, and he clenched the young lady's hand uneasily and said: "Come, Xianggong will pull you, don't come here when you turn around, but exercise still has to be done, every day Xianggong accompanies you out for a walk, and takes you for a walk outside the village."
His caring and thoughtful thoughtfulness made Han Youniang feel heartbroken, Yutangchun and Xue Limei saw this scene, and they couldn't wait for themselves to conceive a baby early, and enjoy such care from their husbands, but Cheng Qiyun and Gao Wenxin had their own hearts, and the group slowly walked out of the warm cellar.
Light snowflakes fell in a curling manner, and the news that the Yang family was about to have a little master made the whole family very happy. In winter, most of the peasants stay at home, and except for a few naughty children running around in the village, it is rare to see a single person.
When the smoke on the roof of some people's houses had not yet disappeared, the door of Yang's mansion was opened, and Yang Ling walked out of the gate majestically in a big hat, and Gao Wenxin and Cheng Qiyun accompanied the young lady out of the mansion.
The three of them are wearing snow-white sand fox fur cloaks and cloud-digging Zhaojun hats of the same color, and three beauties with different temperaments are pretty and beautiful in the light snowflakes, which makes people forget to see it. Six servants followed him and closed the door quietly.
Yang Ling said: "Go slower, let's go to the village."
The group left the village and walked slowly along the silver-white ridges. Yang Ling pointed to a piece of land and asked, "Wen Xin, this piece of land is yours, right?" ”
Gao Wenxin bowed his head slightly, squinted his pretty big eyes and looked at the manor that had become the same color as the surrounding land, and said: "Well, the Gao family has practiced medicine for generations, and they are not good at farmland, so there are not many fields, only these ten acres of land, although the adults have returned it to me, I don't know about it, and the adults want to plant those Nanyang species, just use them."
Han Youniang said happily: "Does Xianggong want to plant all kinds of new species on this piece of land?" Why not buy all the surrounding land at a high price? ”
Yang Ling laughed and said, "Silly Nizi, you forgot that Xianggong sold four acres of poor land and was scolded by Old Lady Yang?" The farmer family regards the land as their surname, and although the profit is ten times and a hundred times higher, they will not sell it."
Cheng Qiyun smiled lightly: "Not only that, even if you buy all the land, how to persuade those tenant farmers to plant these crops will take a lot of trouble."
Yang Ling said unexpectedly when he heard this: "What's the matter with Guan Dianong?" If this land is mine, it is not that I can plant whatever I want, and the tenant farmers dare to disagree? Aren't you afraid I'll quit him? ”
Han Youniang, Gao Wenxin and Cheng Qiyun widened their eyes together, looked at him in surprise, and Cheng Qiyun smiled after a while: "My lord is tending to the crops in the warm cellar today, and he seems to be very knowledgeable, why don't you understand these common senses?" Hehehe, there are no landlords who treat tenant farmers like this, and there are those who treat long-term workers like this, but there are very few of them."
Yang Ling is inexplicable, the images of the landlords he knows are all fierce and vicious, hideous-looking bullies, why can't he be the master of his own land?
Cheng Qiyun explained: "My lord, these rich people in the countryside are family businesses handed down from their ancestors. Second, he made a fortune as an official and business in other places, returned to his hometown to build a house, bought a large amount of land, and became a landlord. The third is to be industrious and thrifty, smart and studious, good at management, save money all his life, buy land with a little savings, and gradually become a landlord. The fourth type is to bully the market and become rich by usury, but only a minority.
Speaking of these country gentry, they have also read the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and follow the "way of Confucius and Mencius", pity the poor and the elderly, help widows and widows, help teachers and schools, disaster relief, repair bridges and roads, mediate disputes, most of the local officials have to rely on these local squires, so they attach great importance to personal fame.
Forcing a tenant farmer into submission was rarely done, and once he became notorious, no tenant farmer would be willing to plant his land. Generally speaking, tenant farmers who work this year can abandon their crops next year and turn to other landlords' farmland. If it is a tenant who has his own farm tools and cattle, it is even more for the rich families to rush to recruit them, after all, the landlord's family is also for profit, and they raise their own cattle and prepare ploughing tools, and the price they pay is even greater."
Gao Wenxin accompanied Han Youniang as she walked: "Yes, my lord, especially the land rent is to pay grain rent and silver rent, as long as people pay the rent on time, the landlord has no right to interfere with what he plants, it is the long-term worker of the family, and the smarter owners must also be treated well." Otherwise, if you don't work hard, you will be unlucky.
My family doesn't have much land, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, my father still has to send some meat to the tenant farmers and long-term workers, and send some food and clothes during the New Year's holidays, so that he can gather those who are good at farming, those long-term workers who are honest and willing to work.
Yang Ling's face turned red, and he was speechless. How did he know that there were so many restrictions on daring landlords, and he thought that as long as he became a landlord, he could do whatever he wanted, now
Yang Ling frowned, looking at the land a little stunned, it seems that in the suburbs of Beijing, the harvest scene that shocks the officials will not appear, even if those landlords are willing to sell the land, how can they forcibly ask those tenant farmers to farm?
Here is not as good as the barren land in Shaanxi that is ready to be planted, the people there give them the corresponding rations first, and they also agree if you let them plant grass this year, but most of the suburbs of Beijing are fertile fields, I am afraid that they will have to pay several times more to tempt the people, but what about those landlords?
Alas, in the past few days, on the one hand, I have been paying attention to the development of new guns in the inner factory, and on the other hand, I have inquired about the movements of Liu Jin's reform in Beijing, but I have ignored these things. If the spring opens and the soldiers are asked to cultivate some mountain fields, I don't know what the effect will be.
Cheng Qiyun's eyes rolled and said: "My lord, the Bodhisattva's heart, the Bodhisattva's means, can't be rainy, the Bodhisattva's heart, Shura's means, give to the world, but can relieve the people from hanging upside down." It is better to hand over this matter to the lowly position, the land of the seven places in the Huangzhuang, and the lowly position will use a little trick, and it will definitely be captured."
Yang Ling turned his head and glanced at her deeply, only to see that the two black eyes like paint on Cheng Qiyun's white jade-like face were looking at him for a moment, the snowflakes fell on his cheeks, turning into water droplets, and a few strands of long hair were gently attached to it, and he couldn't bear to be harsh for a while, but sighed and said: "If you haven't benefited the people, do you want to do evil first?" ”
Cheng Qiyun lowered her head silently, she slowed down her pace and walked leisurely for a while, she suddenly came up with a way in her heart, and she couldn't help but show a smug smile on her lips, she raised her head and just wanted to call Yang Ling, but suddenly closed her mouth again, and said in her heart: "I will discuss with Wu Da's stall head, and then tell him to know after the matter is completed, let him see my methods, don't use bully methods, I am the same as Zhuge in the female middle school!" ”
She stretched out a palm as white as jade, waiting for a snowflake to fall into the palm, before she felt the coolness, the snowflake turned into water droplets, Cheng Qiyun sighed lightly, and whispered: "Acacia is like wine, half drunk often sent to the dream."
The east wind sends crystal snow, when will the plum blossoms be repaired? ”
Han Youniang walked with Yang Ling for a while, and found that Cheng Qiyun was lagging behind, so she turned around and called, "Miss Cheng?" ”
Her eyes were sharp, although the twilight was heavier at this time, but from a distance, she still saw two fast horses galloping from the intersection one after the other, Han Youniang unconsciously stopped her steps, pulled Yang Ling's sleeve and said: "Xianggong, there are horses in a hurry, I'm afraid something is wrong."
Among the six family members, there are people in the army, and they have already shown the hidden knives and fire guns in the cotton robes, and shouted: "What person? Slow down! ”
A person in front jumped off his horse, hurried over and said, "I am here from my humble position, and there is an urgent military report." Wu Da took me down the mountain first to inform the factory supervisor, and he arrived later."
(To be continued)
