488. Spring corn sowing

Luo Rucai watched the play next to him for a long time, and finally couldn't help jumping out, he Luo Rucai doesn't care about the age of the woman, and doesn't care whether the woman is finished or not, as long as she looks beautiful, he sees it right, and there is nothing he dare not accept. He walked up to Du Shan and said with a smile: "They don't dare to ask for it, but I, Luo Rucai, dare, let your wife remarry me, hey!" ”

Du Shan glanced at him with godless eyes: "This hero is surnamed Gao...... Daimyo? ”

Luo Rucai said with a smile: "General Weide on behalf of the heavens, the people in the rivers and lakes are called Cao Cao, Luo Rucai." I, Luo Rucai, am not good elsewhere, but I am good to women, you can rest assured that your wife will be handed over to me, and I will treat her well. ”

When Du Shan heard this, a subtle look of contempt flashed in his eyes, although he was a scholar, not a person from the rivers and lakes, but he also knew Cao Cao's reputation, I heard that this person robbed women of good families everywhere, especially the official lady, and after snatching them, they were all included as his wife's room, up to now, there have been hundreds of wives and concubines, and it is obviously not his wish to entrust Miss Ma San to such a man.

He turned his head with difficulty, trying to find another man to come out and entrust him, but everyone in the hall frowned, no one spoke, he was depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, if no one was willing to ask for it, could it really be impossible to hand over the lady to Luo Ru?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help it, if Luo Rucai didn't come out to make trouble, he might not come out, so let Miss Ma San be a green lantern ancient Buddha and keep a widow, and he might not interfere in her life. Because Zhu Yuanzhang is such a person, he is extremely good at hiding his heart. They will never easily sell their ideas in front of others. But at this moment, he couldn't help but hide again, took a step forward, and said to Du Shan: "Don't give it to Luo Rucai, give it to me!" ”

Luo Rucai's face froze, turned his head, and said in a joking tone: "Eighth Brother Zhu, why did you grab your daughter-in-law with your brother?" I heard that you are not this kind of person......" Before the words fell, I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy, obviously not in a good mood, and he thought that he had deliberately hidden the momentum for a long time. Stormed out of control. The air in the entire hall was heavy, and Luo Rucai couldn't say anything anymore, so he quickly changed his words: "Oh, since Eighth Brother Zhu has intentions. Naturally, brothers don't fight with you. ”

He could hold back his anger. Zhang Xianzhong jumped out and threatened. He sent 100,000 taels obediently, and as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, he hurriedly sent his daughter-in-law who was about to go. The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, Luo Rucai has always thought that he is a Junjie, of course, there is a difference between Junjie and Haojie. A real hero, no one wants to take away what he likes. Even if there is a river of blood and thousands of corpses, he must draw his sword in anger and raise his arms.

Du Shan saw Zhu Yuanzhang stand up, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, although he had never seen Baishui Zhu Ba, but he knew that the person in front of him must be Zhu Ba, because from the position where everyone in the hall was standing, and the momentum he felt from this man, he knew that this person must be Zhu Ba, and he couldn't be wrong.

After the explanation of the red lady a few days ago, Du Shan already knew that Zhu Ba was a hero among people and a person worthy of trust, his godless eyes instantly lit up, and he didn't say a word of superfluous words, and turned his head to Miss Ma San and said, "Madam, please listen to the last request of the husband...... No, this is not a request, it is an order for the husband, and when the husband dies, General Zhenxi will be your husband...... Did you hear that? ”

Miss Ma San's face was full of confusion, she looked at Zhu Ba's eyes were extremely complicated, no one knew what she was thinking, and after a long time, she saw two clear tears in her eyes: "Okay! I listen to you, you can go in peace. ”

There was silence in the hall, everyone didn't speak, Du Shan chuckled, closed his eyes and passed away.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is also extremely complicated, the woman in front of him looks exactly like Queen Ma, but she is not Queen Ma after all, marrying her as a wife, is it worthy of her real original wife, Queen Ma? She is different from Zhang Yingxian, Qiu Ye and others, because even if Zhu Yuanzhang marries more women, it will not hinder Queen Ma's status in his heart, just like he accepted many concubines in his previous life, but those concubines are just green leaves beside Queen Ma, which will not hurt her mother's demeanor in the world, and will not shake her position in her heart.

But Miss Ma San is different, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at that face, and couldn't help but regard her and Queen Ma as the same person, this is the real betrayal of his deceased wife. He couldn't help but beckoned to Miss Ma San and said, "You come to the back hall with me." He planned to explain a few things to Miss Ma San, first, he just wanted to rescue her from Luo Rucai, and he didn't really want to marry her. Second, everything is free with her in the future, and she does not need to be by her side.

However, these two sentences are inconvenient to say in front of people, especially when Luo Rucai is still in front of the hall, so he beckoned Miss Ma San to go to the back.

didn't expect him to beckon, and everyone would suddenly be mistaken, Luo Rucai couldn't help but think in his heart: No, Brother Zhu is more anxious than I imagined, although this woman wants to remarry you at the behest of her deceased husband, but it won't be that her ex-husband's bones are not cold, so she will go to the back hall to be happy, right? This is also outrageous. Why do you have to bury her ex-husband first, and then slowly coax her into the room when she is finished, how awkward it is to drag her directly to the bed so hard.

Not only did Luo Rucai misunderstand, but the other leaders were also sweating profusely, and they all felt surprised. The little mute even wanted to jump out and help Miss Ma San say a few words, but she was not as bold as the red lady, and she didn't dare to say what she wanted to say, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the side.

Countless pairs of eyes fell on Miss Ma San, wanting to see how she coped with this scene, whether to obediently follow Brother Zhu into the back hall to serve the pillow seat, or to hold the body of her deceased husband and cry a few times, "My life is so miserable"?

However, everyone guessed wrong, only to see Miss Ma San suddenly stand up and say in a soft but firm voice: "General Zhenxi, I'm sorry, I can't marry you, what I promised my husband just now doesn't count!" ”

"Wow!" The crowd was in an uproar, they had seen a liar, but they had never seen anyone who dared to lie to a dead man. I am not afraid that people will see and hear it in the spirit of heaven. And then come to your dream late to settle accounts with you?

Miss Ma San said lightly: "Actually, my husband is not qualified to give me an order at all, he is the son-in-law of the Ma family, after he dies, he can't care if I change my marriage or not, so what he said just now doesn't count, the reason why I don't refute him is just that I hope that the last time of his life can go without being in a hurry and with a smile." Now he's gone. I don't have to worry about making him angry anymore. Allow me to decide for myself where I want to go for the rest of my life. ”

"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar again, and then they remembered the matter of their son-in-law, only to blame the two couples for looking very affectionate, and Miss Ma San also showed a picture of completely listening to her husband's words. As a result, everyone almost forgot that Du Shan was a matter of wealth. Think of it this way. is a mere son-in-law, and he really has no ability to control his wife. To put it mildly, even if you write a letter of resignation. It is also right to be a wife's husband, and the status of a son-in-law is not enough to order his wife.

Everyone in the hall was dripping with sweat, and when they saw that Miss Ma San actually refuted Zhu Ba in person, they all pinched a cold sweat in their hearts. The longer the leaders get along with Zhu Ba, the more they find that he has an indescribable momentum, in recent years, Zhu Ba's orders, the leaders have become more and more afraid to disobey, they have begun to feel Zhu Ba's difference, feel that his power is getting stronger day by day, even people like Wang Er, they don't dare to refute Zhu Ba's words, I didn't expect Miss Ma San to be a woman, and she actually has the courage.

The little mute screamed badly: What should I do if Eighth Brother Zhu gets angry and wants to kill Miss Ma San? Should I stand up and help Miss Ma San speak? After all, my life was saved by their husband and wife......

Everyone was looking at Miss Ma San just now, but now they turned their heads together, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face and eyes, wanting to see how he reacted.

What is surprising is that Zhu Yuanzhang is not angry, no, it can't be said that he is not angry, it should be said that he is relieved, a touch of relief flashed in his eyes, the momentum that was low just now is actually this shock, it turned out that after Zhu Yuanzhang heard Miss Ma San's words, he finally found a reason not to betray Queen Ma, he felt a relief in his heart for no reason, as if a thousand catties of boulders fell to the ground, waved his hand, and laughed: "Okay!" Very good! Hahaha...... White Jade Pillar! ”

Bai Yuzhu walked out from the side, hugged his fists and said, "The subordinates are here." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "When your grain supervision team returns to Shaanxi, escort Miss Ma San back to Xi'an and hand her over to Ma Zhixiong." ”

Bai Yuzhu didn't ask why, and immediately said, "Obey." With that, he stepped aside.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and laughed three times hahaha, then turned around and walked towards the back hall with his hands in his hands. No one knew what he was thinking at this time, just like no one knew what kind of thoughts were turning in Miss Ma San's heart just now.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang gone, Miss Ma San also breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was actually ready to be forcibly dragged into the back hall for indecent thought, if such a thing happened, she planned to commit suicide with a dagger hidden in her arms, and martyred her husband to death, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not force her, but laughed and walked into the back hall, which made her tense nerves seem to hit the cotton pile, and she had nowhere to focus for a while, and almost fell to the ground.

The little mute ran up from the side, helped Miss Ma San, and said hurriedly: "Sister, let's hurry up and bury the ennefactor, and bury it for peace...... Eun Gong ...... Woo......"

Miss Ma San finally noticed that the little mute was talking, and she said in surprise: "Huh? Are you the girl my husband saved from his second brother? You...... How can you speak? ”――

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, spring.

The people of Guangyuan and Bazhou are sowing corn in the thin soil on the hillside, and while sowing seeds, the people are singing a children's song composed by Zhu Yuanzhang: "The general of Zhenxi will know the immortal law, and the grain planted on the dry land will also sprout, and two thousand catties will be planted in one mu, and the ......gold will be exchanged for gold when there is more than enough to eat."

Loud singing danced on the hillside, from hill to hill, and the people were so energetic that everyone was sweating and hoeing to their heart's content, and the scene was in full swing.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Xia Erduo and a group of pirates who were responsible for teaching the people planting techniques through the fields, such as Guangyuan, this thin soil layer, for Xia Erduo They are also the first to see, the extremely thin soil layer makes everyone a little frightened, this kind of land actually supports three million Sichuan people, it is really incredible.

At this time, an old peasant on the side of the road approached and asked with a look of fear, "General." I listen to the children's rhyme, you know the fairy law, cast a spell, one acre of land can grow two thousand catties of grain, this ...... Is this true? ”

Of course, this is not true, Zhu Yuanzhang is not feudal superstition, but this is not entirely fake, if you grow potatoes on fertile land, it is no problem to yield 2,000 catties per mu, but you can grow corn on the thin soil layer of Sichuan. When the production capacity per mu reaches 1,000 catties, incense will be burned. Therefore, it was impossible for him to directly say that this sentence was true, so he patiently said to the old farmer: "I do know some special methods, and it is not difficult to grow 2,000 catties per mu of fertile land, but Sichuan is ...... here."

The old peasant heard this. A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "I know it too." The land of our Sichuan is a bit thin...... That. What immortal method can we save here? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "I don't dare to guarantee two thousand catties, but you only need to farm according to the methods taught by my people, and plant the seeds I gave you instead." Seven or eight hundred catties should be no problem. ”

The old farmer said: "Seven or eight hundred catties...... Hey, seven or eight hundred catties is also remarkable, I have been planing land in Guangyuan for a lifetime, and at most one time I will dig out one hundred and fifty catties of grain in one acre of land, if you can cast a spell to plant seven or eight hundred catties of one acre of land, I will make you a cow and a horse......"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry about planting, seven or eight hundred catties is no problem, take good care of your family's field." ”

The old farmer couldn't close his mouth with joy, and whispered in his mouth: "Seven or eight hundred catties, seven or eight hundred catties, if you pay thirty percent of the tax, you can rise to five or six hundred catties, yes, it's amazing, it seems that I don't need to go to the south to Luo ......."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked the old farmer again: "This uncle, what do you mean by going to the south?" ”

The old farmer said: "A few days ago, I heard from a traveling merchant that Li Zicheng, the generalissimo of Fengtian Advocate Righteousness and Civil and Military Affairs, led his troops to capture Shunqing (today's Nanchong City) in the south, and issued a notice that farming under his command did not need to pay taxes. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, of course he already knew about Li Zicheng's attack on Shunqing. And has been tightly sealing the news from the south, not wanting the people to know that Li Zicheng is close at hand, but I didn't expect Li Zicheng to be quite unconscious, and he actually sent his spies to disguise themselves as businessmen to incite the people under his rule, and wanted to take away the population from here, which is really disgusting enough.

The old farmer said again: "A few brothers in our village said that they want to go to Shunqing to see, if they really don't pay taxes, they will go to Lord Li to plan, but now there is no need to go, as soon as the general's immortal method is used, we can collect five or six hundred catties per mu here, which is more than paying taxes, hehe...... Then there's no need to leave your hometown. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

The old farmer hurriedly asked again: "General, your immortal method is not a lie, if you can't grow so many ......" This old farmer is too heartless, this kind of thing can also be said? If the person in front of him was not Zhu Yuanzhang, he was afraid that his head would not be able to be saved, but Zhu Yuanzhang was a person who loved the people like a son, of course he would not turn his face for such a sentence, and said kindly: "Don't worry, my method will definitely work, as long as you take good care of the fields, there will definitely be a harvest of seven or eight hundred catties." ”

When the old farmer walked away, Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually sank, and he turned to Xia Erduo and said, "Did you hear that?" ”

Xia Erduo nodded: "I heard it all!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's good to hear it, this time the spring corn sowing work must be done well, the next four months of corn growth period, there is no room for any accidents, we must ensure that this batch of corn can grow as much yield as possible, otherwise all the people under our rule will run to Li Zicheng." ”

Xia Erduo said seriously: "Yes! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at his guard squad again, but he didn't need to give an order, Ma Xiaotian already understood, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates will go and give an order, and the person in charge of arresting Li Zicheng's spy will be beaten fifty times, and he will be accused of not doing things well." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "I don't want to hear any more spies sneaking into our territory to spread the news......

Ma Xiaotian said: "Yes! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, and then said, "How are our spies arranged?" ”

Ma Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Two hundred spies are divided into forty groups and spread to nearby cities, our children's songs will soon be spread all over Sichuan, and Sister Xue Hongqi and Brother Leng Feng, who stayed in Shaanxi, have also sent many spies to enter Shanxi, Henan and other places to sing children's songs, I believe that we will soon achieve good results." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked much better, and he asked again: "There is ...... What about Miss Ma San's side? ”

Ma Xiaotian said again: "Bai Yuzhu has already sent us a message, saying that Miss Ma San was sent back to Xi'an safely and handed over to Ma Zhixiong. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, everything went well, and now he is waiting for the next big move.

At this time, Xu Renjie suddenly brought a few henchmen and brothers from the edge of Tiankan to find him, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Li Zicheng's troops attacked the Chengdu Plain, and originally wanted to break through Chengdu, but seeing that Chengdu City has high walls and thick walls, and the defense is tight, he didn't dare to start a war lightly, so he went around the north of the city and conquered Deyang...... Yang Sichang kept chasing behind his ass in circles, and the two armies chased and fled, seeing that they were about to approach Guangyuan again. ”――
