When Du He returned to Du Mansion, Wu Meiniang's snow-white, narrow shoulders, slender waist, and the treasure that couldn't be held in one hand kept coming to mind, and his heart was itching. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Different from Changle's dignified and noble and Li Xueyan's lively and beautiful, Wu Meiniang gave him the feeling that he was a goblin, an unforgettable goblin, a goblin that was enough to bring disaster to the country and the people.

Back at the mansion, Huangfu Haohua brought him news about Gongsun Yeyue: "Childe, the Gongsun girl has been sent out of Chang'an at noon, and now it is estimated that she has gone away." ”

The boulder in Du He's heart finally fell, because everything was gathered together, he had no time to care about the affairs of Gongsun Yeyue, and he was also very worried, I don't know if she flew away from the palace smoothly at night, landed smoothly in Furong Garden, and successfully went out of Chang'an under the leadership of Huangfu Haohua.

Now that I learned the news that she left safely, I was finally able to let go of this knot, thinking of the chivalrous girl with the arrogant attribute in my mind, and said in my heart: "Go well, I hope you can be safe and happy." ”

Wu Meiniang's wedding date is set for September, and it is only mid-May, and there are still more than three months to go.

In these three months, it was difficult for Du He to see Wu Meiniang again.

The crux of the problem is that on that day, Du He broke Wu Meiniang's body and let her taste the forbidden fruit.

Because Wu Meiniang was so exciting, Du He couldn't help but ask her three times that day. As a girl who has just broken a melon, how can she withstand such a conquest, not to mention the weakness of her whole body, and she can't walk naturally.

As a result, Yang saw the clues.

As a traditional woman who is constrained by feudal thoughts, Yang can't tolerate the practice of having sex without marriage, thinking that this is unchaste and unclean, for fear that Wu Meiniang will become pregnant, and because the delivery time is not right, people say that it is a water-based Yanghua. also gave a death order, and before Wu Meiniang was officially married, the two could not see each other again.

The mother-in-law gave a death order, and Du He could only put Wu Meiniang's affairs aside and deal with the development of Jiangnan wholeheartedly.

So far, many people are skeptical about the development of Jiangnan, because although Duhe's plan is very detailed and the prospects described are very attractive, they lack actual operation, that is, empty talk. Because it's the first time, the consequences of the ending make people worry and question.

All these worries and doubts are unavoidable, only the results come out, and the facts prove everything.

There is no doubt that the results of the development of Jiangnan have already yielded initial results.

In the second half of June, because of the wind and rain, the news of a bumper harvest came from Jiangnan.

This is unprecedented news, because for the success of the two crops of rice, Jiangnan planted rice nearly two months earlier than the original spring planting, and many farmers have an uneasy attitude towards this, thinking that the harvest will be affected if the planting is too early.

But now the facts are in front of us, everything is clear, the climate in Jiangnan is warm fast, even two months in advance is suitable for the growth of seedlings, there is no need to worry about this. The rice was harvested two months earlier, which meant that the harvest was two months earlier, leaving two months more time to plant the second crop.

In Duhe's impression, as long as the second rice is planted in the field before July 15, then the rice will be able to mature before the winter comes.

Now that the first season of rice has been recognized, it is up to us to see if the second crop of rice in the field can ripen before winter comes. Maturity means that these two seasons of rice have been successfully planted and can be produced on a large scale in various parts of the Yangtze River, if they do not mature before the arrival of winter, the rice will not be able to stand the winter climate and freeze to death.

For this reason, Li Shimin, who was concerned about the situation in Jiangnan, asked Duhe to go to Jiangnan and ask him to go to Jiangnan as a supervisory envoy to investigate the real actual situation.

In order not to affect the marriage, Du He said goodbye to his family, and used the post station connected to Jiangnan to rush to Jiangnan at an expedited speed of 800 miles to inquire about the actual situation.

After only half a year, Du He found that the situation in Jiangnan was very different.

Because of the importance of the imperial court, many prescient merchants came to Jiangnan to open shops, which promoted the prosperity of the place.

In order to replenish the insufficient population in Jiangnan, the imperial court also specially exempted the cost of relocating the people, as long as those who intend to move to Jiangnan, the imperial court will issue a fee to help them relocate. Of course, the crowd here is limited to the peasant people. Because of the remoteness of the south of the Yangtze River, it is not for nothing that people have left their hometowns for the sake of long-term planning. Under such a policy, they all returned to their hometowns.

In addition, Wei Zheng's proposal to find out the household registration was also implemented quite well, and a total of 1.5 million black households were investigated and dealt with in Jiangnan, Jingxiang, Lingnan mountainous areas, and other places, most of whom were refugees hiding in the mountains and forests to avoid disasters. Under the persuasion of officials, 1.1 million of them were willing to move to Jiangnan and receive special preferential treatment. More than 400,000 people, unwilling to leave their hometowns is also human nature, of course, there is no force, just to make up for their household registration.

Under all these advantages, the scene of Jiangnan can be described as three changes in one day.

The sparsely populated area of Jiangnan has been greatly improved here.

Especially an important town like Suzhou.

Under the control of Nengshi Liu Renliang, the entire Suzhou has walked out of the adverse effects of the plague in a short period of time, and has become a veritable important town in the south of the Yangtze River with 200,000 people. You must know that at the beginning of the big assembly, there were only 150,000 people in Suzhou, and now there are 200,000 residents.

Du He found Liu Renliang, the assassin of Suzhou, who was in charge of the Jiangnan reform, in the Suzhou Mansion.

This benevolent brother is doing the work of three people in Jiangnan, and many things have made him lose a lot of weight than before, but he has a shrewd and capable atmosphere.

People are all exercised, and it is true that Liu Renliang has the talent of the prime minister, but if he is directly given the heavy responsibility of the prime minister, I believe he will be overwhelmed. Now that he has been trained in Jiangnan, it will not take a few years, let him have a body of experience in governing the country, and then give him the position of prime minister, I believe that he will be like in history, will be a famous minister with both civil and military skills.

"Benevolent rail!" Duhe screamed.

"General!" Liu Renliang had already learned the news that Du He was coming, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly, so he greeted him with a smile on his face and made a big salute respectfully. Now that he is a local assassin, his status is only slightly inferior to him, so there is no need to make such a big gift. It's just that he is known for his entu, and he knows that he has Du He's recommendation today. Although his status has improved and he is no longer Du He's subordinate, his respect for him has increased unabated.

"Get up!" Du He helped Liu Renliang up and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I see that you have lost a lot, but the whole person is in good spirits, and you have an unusual temperament." ”

Liu Renliang said with a smile: "Thanks to the general's recommendation and His Majesty's support, I have this opportunity to show myself and prove myself." I also feel that I have grown a lot in the past six months! ”

The two talked about the old days for a while, and Du He talked about his intentions: "I came here for three purposes: first, to investigate the cultivation of two crops of rice; Second, the cultivation of sweet potatoes is also one of the purposes; Third, how is the preparation of my Datang Voyage Sailor, and when can I go to sea? ”

Liu Renliang smiled when he heard this: "If the general is interested, would you like to go to the field with me?" Only by seeing it with his own eyes can the general appreciate how much change his creativity has brought to the people of Jiangnan. ”

Du He was going to investigate in person, but Liu Renliang's proposal was in his mind, and he smiled: "It's just that we are too annoying, so it's better to disguise ourselves and have a private visit to Weifu." ”

Liu Renliang said good, and the two of them found ordinary peasant clothes, walked out of the government through the back door of the government, and rushed to the fields outside Suzhou.

The city of Suzhou is bordered by Taihu Lake, which is extremely rich in water resources, and Liu Renliang has reclaimed 1,000 hectares of wasteland in the vicinity of it, which is specially used to conduct experiments on two crops of rice.

Walking on the ridges, the people who were working in the fields had already begun to reorganize their fields and planned to plant rice again in early July.

One by one, the people happily drove their cattle and horses to plow the fields, and after working hard, some happily talked with the invitees who were also in the fields, and some sang folk songs loudly to express their joyful feelings.

Liu Renliang walked behind him and introduced the situation of the two crops of rice to Du He, saying: "In the first year, most of the people did not dare to try. So I only cultivated this 10,000 acres of land near Taihu Lake and cultivated it for those people who dared to try. However, with the bumper harvest some time ago, voices of remorse can be heard everywhere in the territory, and ten out of ten people regret that they did not have the courage to try. As long as there is a harvest of these 10,000 acres of land in the second half of the year, I believe that the whole of Jiangnan will be planted with these two crops of rice in the coming year. ”

Du He nodded approvingly, but secretly exclaimed in his heart: "It's a pity." "If the Manchu Dynasty believed in their own words, instead of trying it out, and let the whole of Jiangnan plant these two crops of rice, this year's harvest would have at least doubled compared with the later years.

It's just that their own words are soft-spoken, which is not enough for them to firmly believe in their words, which is also something that can be helped.

Five hundred meters ahead, not far in front of them, an old man was resting on a ridge.

Du He shouted, "Uncle! He stepped forward.

When the old man saw someone calling him, he smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with the young man being called an old man?" ”

Du He was dressed as a peasant in peasant clothes, and the old man also called Du He directly by the name of the countryman.

Du He said with a smile: "I heard that the imperial court promoted two crops of rice in sections, I don't know what the effect is, but I can satisfy you!" ”

The old man laughed "haha", and his loud voice echoed over the field, "Satisfied, naturally extremely satisfied...... Haha, that's thanks to Lord Duhodu. If it weren't for him, how could the little old man be today! ”
