Chapter 667: On the Field of Hope

With the arrival of the autumn harvest, Li Xin also often goes to the Wei River, looking at the golden rice on both sides of the Wei River, his heart is extremely happy, the two years have been good, the harvest is good, the landlord has reduced rent and interest, and the people pay rent and interest, and in Guanzhong, the people's life is much better than that of Kanto.

"Your Majesty, thanks to you this year, this year is another good harvest!" The old king was not afraid when he saw Li Xin, but said with a smile, a mouthful of front teeth exposed outside, but he was indescribably happy.

"It's the result of your hard work, and it has nothing to do with me!" Li Xin smiled and said, "How about the newly got threshing machine?" Is it easy to use? Li Xin pointed to the threshing machine built in the distance, this kind of threshing machine is the threshing machine of later generations, a few wooden planks are flat, and then the axle is used to roll up, although it is bulky, but it is not very complicated, Li Xin saw it when he was a child, and after a little pondering, he also understood the principle of it, so that the Gewuyuan was built.

"Your Majesty, it's easy to use, but it's too expensive, and there are only three of us in the whole village, taking turns to do it." The old king hesitated for a moment, and Fang said.

Li Xin nodded, although the structure of the threshing machine is very simple, the most important thing is the wheel, which is very troublesome to manufacture, and it must be made with good iron, and the cost is still very large. Therefore, there are only three villages in one village, which is still near Chang'an, and in other places still use the original threshing method, which is more time-consuming and more wasteful of manpower.

"Take your time! Sooner or later, every family will have it. Li Xin sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty, after the autumn harvest, the villain will invite the emperor to come to our house for a meal." The old king said with some trepidation. He felt as if he had said the wrong thing just now, and he was a little nervous at this time.

"Good! I've been thinking about this day for a long time. Li Xin said with some joy when he heard this.

"That's a good feeling." The old king patted his thigh and said, "Xiaomin knows that the emperor is different from other emperors. ”

Li Xin laughed for a while, and behind him, Cen Wenwen and Eldest Sun Wuji also had smiles on their faces, but they sighed extremely in their hearts, originally they put aside Li Xin's major affairs in the court. When I came to the Wei River, there was still a trace of whispers in my heart, but now I know that these people's support for Li Xin is the will of the people and the king.

"Old king! After winning the crops this time, Guanzhong may only be able to hit rice once, you can focus on the others, wheat! It's all okay, and you can't let the fields go to waste. Li Xin said seriously.

"That's nature." The old king was also very curious. Is His Majesty the Emperor really a mortal under the stars, how can he understand everything, even farm work is more understanding than ordinary people.

"Guanzhong Water Conservancy must also keep up with the rhythm." Li Xin turned to Cen Wenwen and said: "Taking advantage of the slack farming, not only let the young and strong train the soldiers, but also strengthen the construction of water conservancy, and the soldiers of the Lantian Battalion and the Bashang Battalion can also go home to visit their relatives and help the local people dig deep ditches to prepare for spring ploughing in the coming year." Training should also be multifaceted and increase exchanges between the military and the people. Help the common people to do something, so that the common people will support our army. ”

"The minister turned around and immediately gave His Majesty's will." Cen Wenwen nodded, he had experienced Xiao Miao's rule. In comparison, Li Xin's governance may be a little rough, and he is a little lazy, but he sees the big from the small. Li Xin's governance is mainly biased towards the common people, and he pays attention to the will of the people and what he does. Many emperors couldn't do it.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed in his heart, although Li Xin went to fewer places, but his reputation spread among the people, whether it was a quyuan plough or a keel waterwheel, or a threshing machine now, etc., Li Xin enjoyed a high reputation among the people, and the rule of the Tang Dynasty has gradually penetrated into the hearts of the people. The eldest grandson Wuji mourned for his friend for a while, Li Shimin may make a Ming Jun, but I am afraid that he is not as good as Li Xin in this regard.

"Hopefully there will be more rain and more snow this winter." Li Xin sighed slightly, in this era, grain is mainly harvested from the sky, and when there is not much rain, it is easy to cause drought and locust plagues, so the construction of water conservancy is also a matter that Li Xin is very concerned about.

"I heard that Lord Dou has already started to dispose of those old coins, most of which are shipped to Hebei, and I think he has already collected a lot of grain." Cen Wenwen said with a smile.

"Auxiliaries, texts, do you know who I thought of at this time?" Li Xin suddenly said: "I thought of Laihu'er, I thought of Laicheng, Laijia is a person who is proficient in water masters, but it's a pity, I want to find such a person now." ”

"Is the emperor trying to attack Li Yuan from the water?" Cen Wenwen soon knew Li Xin's plan, and applauded Li Xin in his heart.

"There must be a lot of sailor generals in the court, as long as the emperor wants to find it, he can naturally find it, and the emperor attacked Li Yuan from the sea, not the ability of the sailor generals, but the ability to transport troops, as long as there are sea ships, it is very simple." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"That's what the auxiliary machine says." Li Xin's eyes lit up and said, "What are the two sons who came to Hu'er doing?" ”

"This, the emperor, Lai Heng and Lai Ji were ordered by the emperor to be a jinshi not long ago, which place should be the county order at this time." Cen Wenwen said with a smile.

"Send someone to ask them, what books did Hu'er leave behind for soldiers back then, take them, we don't use them now, it doesn't mean that we won't use them in the future, Goguryeo is still alive and well!" Li Xin waved his hand and said, "It's okay now, this military general has actually trained two jinshi for me." ”

"Your Majesty, do you remember Yu Shiji?" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "His son Yu Chang is proficient in production, He Chou told the minister two days ago that he wants to recommend Yu Chang to be a young craftsman." ”

"It's a bit interesting, the son of the military general became a jinshi, and the son of the prime minister became a young craftsman. The distinction between civil and military is not innate! Li Xin said with a smile. The two people behind him said yes again and again.

"Old Wangtou, I'm going back to the palace, well, when I wait for twenty days, I'll come back again, and when the time comes, you can get me some white rice." Li Xin patted the old king's shoulder with a smile and said, and then turned over and rode on the war horse.

"When the time comes, I'll get the emperor something delicious." Cen Wenwen took out some silver and copper coins from his bosom and put them in the hands of the old king.

"My lord, this can't be helped, this money villain can't do it." The old king looked at the golden light in front of him. Knowing that this is the new silver and copper coins of the imperial court, people are called Zhenguan coins, which are more beautiful than the previous coins, people have abandoned the meat of the previous dynasty, and they all like to use Zhenguan coins, these coins in front of them, at least they can manage their families to eat for more than half a year. But the old king still shook his head and said.

"The emperor goes to the old man's house for dinner, so he has to prepare some! This money is considered the money for the emperor's meal. Cen Wenwen said with a pleasant face.

"The little second child invited the emperor to dinner, where do you need to pay for it, is it still called the little old man's invitation? There is nothing else in the little second child's house, there are still steamed buns, and the last time the emperor came up, he said that he would eat our family's white flour steamed buns. The second child also has a few chickens that lay eggs at home, and when the time comes, it's okay to kill them and give them to the emperor to eat, how to use the adult's money? Unexpectedly, the old king was extremely tough, and he did not have a trace of fear because Cen Wenwen was a big official.

"Lord Cen, you can fulfill the old man's wish!" The eldest grandson Wuji laughed secretly in his heart, but he sighed at the simplicity in the heart of the old king, as well as the dignity in the hearts of the peasants.

"Okay, okay, just follow the old man." Cen Wenwen didn't look angry on his face, but took the money back and said, "When the emperor comes up, the juniors will come to inform the old man in person." ”

"That makes, that makes." Lao Wang Tou did not refuse this time, but nodded again and again and said. There was a happy smile on his face.

"Old man, since the emperor said that he wants to eat white flour steamed buns, that is white flour steamed buns, then there is a place called Li's flour mill in Chang'an City, the flour in it is very good, the steamed buns made are chewy, the emperor likes to eat the steamed buns made in that place, the old man can go to that place to exchange a little flour, and the steamed buns made will definitely like to eat." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

After Cen Wenwen listened, he glanced deeply at the eldest grandson Wuji, he knew that this so-called Li family flour mill was probably related to Li Xin, or had something to do with the eldest grandson Wuji, after this old man went, the flour exchanged for must be very cheap, enough to offset the expenses of Li Xin's meal at his house. He glanced at the silver in his hand and sighed to himself.

"Oh, there is such a place, before the emperor comes up, the little old man must go to that place to exchange a little flour." The old king didn't know the mystery here, and he really thought that Li Xin liked the white-flour steamed buns in that place, and immediately said happily.

Perhaps, this meal is nothing in the eyes of the emperor, but in the eyes of these ordinary people, it is extremely important. It is not unreasonable for the emperor to be able to hold a three-foot green peak at the age of a weak crown and sweep the eight desolations and six combinations. Cen Wenwen looked at Li Xin not far away, his eyes were full of respect, he also turned over on his war horse, followed Li Xin, and headed towards Chang'an.

Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at Cen Wenwen, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he exhaled lightly in his heart, finally pressing the other party. He patted the back of the old king's dry hand, turned over the war horse, followed closely, and quickly disappeared by the Wei River.

Behind them, there was also the cheerful laughter of the old king, and the laughter was full of the joy of the harvest. (To be continued......)
