The winter cold at the end of Xining nine years came very early, as early as the beginning of October, it rained half rain and half snow, the day was mostly a cloudy day, on this day, Liu had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, Lin Saiyu instructed Ying'er to carefully watch and listen, first go to the kitchen to prepare the soup to eat at night, the harvest of Shifang Village has been sent in time, they finally ended a vegetarian day, this is to let the janitor Zhang Si buy fresh fish from the morning market, ready to boil light fish soup, neatly cleaned up, stewed over low heat, while sitting down in the kitchen, Take out the notes hidden under the cutting board, and begin to continue to study the virtues and appearances of women and the etiquette of ushering in the send-off.

In the evening, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Liu Xiaohu come back, this month is almost every day, Liu's face is very ugly, pull his face and tell them to eat first, Lin Saiyu hurriedly comforted a few words, after eating, the three of them sat in Liu's house, while being a female red, while talking, Lin Saiyu as usual, there is a match to ask some things about Liu Low's family in previous years, how to set up a banquet to entertain guests, how to prepare gifts, a little with how to govern the family to order the group of slaves, ask too much, Liu also saw the meaning, smiled: " Our elm pimple has also opened up, but it has grown. ”

Lindsay Yu smiled and said: "Lao Tzu said, when you see people, you talk about people, you talk about ghosts, where you live, you don't get beaten if you go with the flow." ”

Liu and Ying'er both laughed, and Liu asked, "The daughter-in-law still knows Lao Tzu?" ”

Lin Saiyu shrugged her shoulders and smiled, and said in a low voice, "My son." ”

Liu Shi took a sip when he heard this, and said, "It's only two sentences, and it's not in shape." ”

Ying'er smiled and said, "What Daddy Cao said is good, I can understand it." ”

Liu Xiaohu, who was cold, lifted the curtain and came in at this time, and said with a smile: "What are you so happy about, I heard you laughing outside." ”

Seeing him come back, Lindsay Yu hurriedly stood up happily, took his clothes, and Ying'er went to prepare hot tea.

"Erlang, what are you busy with these days? When it's cold, there's nothing to do, so why do you come home every day? It's not allowed to raise a bastard wife outside. Liu put down the work in his hand and looked at Liu Xiaohu's face with some spring after eating wine.

Lin Saiyu approached and sniffed secretly, in addition to the faint smell of wine, there was also a trace of the aroma of fat powder, his face sank unconsciously, and said: "I didn't get a drop of wine before, but now I eat it all over my body." ”

Liu Xiaohu smiled and said, "I didn't eat it, I came back with a smell at the banquet, I don't believe it, you smell it, lady." After that, he opened his mouth and spat in front of Lin Saiyu, Lin Saiyu stretched out his hand and punched him, feeling that his breath was really fragrant and there was no smell of wine, so he became happy, Liu coughed and said, "What is it!" You officials, you all gather together every day to eat and drink? ”

Liu Xiaohu smiled and said: "Mother, it's not like this, today Sima Xianggong came to the capital, I had the honor to go to the banquet, at other times, I looked through the information in the official office, my father went early, Erlang's learning was limited, and I didn't dare to slack off." ”

Said Liu nodded, the way should be so, while sighing that it would be good if our family's books stayed, but Lin Saiyu pricked up his ears and heard Sima Xianggong, it stands to reason that Wang Anshi has not officially retired yet, why is Sima Guang here now, and he is busy asking.

Liu Xiaohu had plastic surgery and said slowly: "Today's morning, Wang Anshi." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Saiyu only felt that the room was quiet, and then saw Liu's tears raining down, got up and went straight to the ancestral case in the room, Liu Xiaohu naturally followed, and Lin Saiyu stood outside in a daze, and followed after a while.

Waiting for Liu to sleep, the husband and wife slowly walked back to the room, Lin Saiyu was still a little stunned, her heart was jumping nervously, and a question was repeated in her mind, do you want Erlang to remind Lord Shen Kuo, don't go to the book to refute the new law, don't make a new law in Hebei, and let the emperor break the image, do you want to? Do you want? The words came to my lips, but I still didn't dare to say it.

"Lady, what's wrong?" Liu Xiaohu saw that Lin Saiyu was uncertain, and hurriedly called her, while poking her head, remembering that she had to work hard for the family's food and clothing these days, and always held a book and secretly read, afraid that she would be tired, "Let's buy a few maids." ”

Lin Saiyu came back to her senses, sparked, and glared, "What do you want to do?" ”

Liu Xiaohu smiled: "It's not what I want to do, it's that I want you to be more relaxed, my lady, where do you want to go." ”

Lin Saiyu sighed, threw him a threatening look, and muttered while making the bed: "Don't have so many idlers, idle and idle will cause trouble, our family of three is fine, and Ying'er and Zhang Si are enough." ”

Liu Xiaohu smiled, while changing his clothes, he remembered something, hurriedly took a few steps over and grabbed Lin Saiyu and said: "Lady, I think of something, you are also bored these days, I will take you out tomorrow to see, you will definitely like it." ”

Lin Saiyu asked what was the matter, Liu Xiaohu let her ask in every possible way, and waited until she got up early on the second day, and said to Liu, and did not bring Ying'er, the husband and wife called a car and only went outside the city.

In October of the ninth year of Xining, the emperor heard about Jingdong and the silt fields in various places in the court, when he heard that Li Xiaokuan, who was in charge of the Jingdong silt fields, led 10,000 hectares of silt fields, and Shenzhou Jing'an ordered Ren Yu to irrigate more than 27,000 hectares of fields on the north and south banks, and saw that the right to judge the water supervisor Cheng Shi Meng, and the supervisor Geng Wan heard that Dong Cuntian was three or two thousand acres old, and the grain was five or seven buckets, and it was three times as straight since the silting, and the harvest was three or two Shuo, and he was immediately overjoyed, and ordered to promote this law, and personally went to the 10,000 mu of silt fields outside Kaifeng City to inspect, and Liu Xiaohu followed left and right, The emperor said that he was happy, and asked Liu Xiaohu if he could plant their family's high-yield rice and greenhouse vegetables here, Liu Xiaohu thought for a moment, and then said that the minister was willing to give it a try, and the emperor was very happy, and immediately ordered Liu Xiaohu to be transferred to the commander-in-chief.

The news came to the whole capital in an uproar, now who does not know Cheng'an greenhouse vegetables, for a time the officials scramble for silt fields, counting on the big wealth under the guidance of Liu Xiaoxianggong, leading to the imperial history book to blame Liu Xiaohu, words earnestly state the benefits, in fact, silt is one of the direct consequences of Wang Anshi's farmland water conservancy law, this law began to be blamed in the early days of implementation, so those court discussions are not only against Liu Xiaohu.

Now that Wang Anshi has resigned, the emperor still insists on promoting the new law, and has also appointed Wang Anshi's party as the prime minister, which makes people who are ready to usher in a "new era" not annoyed? Therefore, some Privy Councils said that the silt field is as thin as a cake, planting is useless, and learning is a waste of people's power and national wealth, and some officials heard that rice should be planted in Kaifeng and promoted to Hebei, and they were in an uproar, and they blamed and ridiculed, among which there was a great genius Su Shi, who asserted that "Bianshui flows alone, and since the birth of the people, it is not suitable to plant rice." ”

At this time, Lin Saiyu and Liu Xiaohu came to the place where the silt field within the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion was walking, walking by the Bianhe River, watching the river meandering, she didn't know anything about the dispute about the silt field, at this time listening to Liu Xiaohu simply, I couldn't help but feel distressed and sad, this teenager, how much pressure to bear.

"Erlang, Shifang Village guards the river, in previous years, the village people often led the river to silt the fields, the harvest must have increased greatly, I have also done it, you can rest assured, this move is harmless, rich country and people, let's start planting, and wait for next year to let those who are ready to see the joke regret." Lin Saiyu tightened the hat on his head, okay, you are a talented man of Su, you don't know that rice can be planted in the north, you must know that the best rice can be grown in the northernmost northeast, but this can not be said now, it is not the boundary of their Great Song Dynasty, Yu Shi has sharp teeth, and when he hears it, he may not be able to charge her, and he can directly let their family go to Guangdong.

Liu Xiaohu was silent for a moment, his eyes swept over this large area of silt fields, and said: "The new law is mostly perverse, but this farmland water conservancy law is still a blessing for the country." ”

Lin Saiyu nodded naturally when he heard this, and admired Erlang in his heart for being a clear and understanding child, unlike other opposition parties, who can distinguish the pros and cons, since ancient times, when it comes to water conservancy and agriculture, everyone knows Li Bing's merits, but Wang Anshi is rarely mentioned, probably because his new law has failed in general, and in fact, it is the farmland water conservancy law implemented by Wang Anshi, who has rich grassroots experience, and China's agricultural technology has been developed by leaps and bounds since the Song Dynasty.

"The method of silting the field, consuming financial resources, has attracted a lot of bad opinions, if it can be planted well this time, it is really the blessing of the court, the joy of Your Majesty." Liu Xiaohu shook his hand as he spoke, his eyes were full of excitement, this will also be a big career for him! "Speaking of which, I am mostly talking on paper, farming is far less difficult than my mother, and this time I will have the help of my wife."

As he spoke, Liu Xiaohu reached out and gently took Lin Saiyu's hand, this is already the maximum, people pass by from time to time in the surrounding fields, and no matter how intimate it is, it will be said that it is immoral.

Lindsay Yu blushed and said, "Where, what will I do, I didn't learn it from you." She is no longer very worried about her talent as a different from ordinary peasant women, because since she entered the capital, she has heard many strange things from Liu Xiaohu's mouth, including many women, such as the water conservancy project Mulan Pi, which caused a sensation last year.

Of course, the matter of farming is in line with Lin Saiyu's mind, and now she is so stuffy that she just wants to mold, whether it is planted for the court or for herself, as long as she is allowed to plant, it is a happy event.

Although Liu was not happy about this matter, he said that after all, he was not in the countryside, how could the woman's family show his face, and when he heard that it was the emperor who asked for planting, he immediately stopped talking, and told Lin Saiyu to listen carefully to Erlang's words, and use his heart, this is not with cleaning up his own land at home, and if he doesn't get it, he will lose his head, and Lindsay Yu and Liu Xiaohu laughed, comforting her that the emperor never kills people easily, and said that it was a try, and it was nothing if he couldn't plant it, Lindsay Yu wanted to happily say that it was a big deal to go home from the official, and he thought that Liu couldn't stand this stimulation, Forcibly took it.

In the next few days, Lin Saiyu first sent people to Shifang Village to get the rice in the warehouse, and then began to wander around the market, buying all kinds of vegetable seeds, Liu Xiaohu also ran around, looking for some fresh species, even Su Jinnan heard the news, and also sent them some crop seeds from the south to choose, but Lin Saiyu saw that they can only be planted in the spring of next year, except for rice and greenhouses, there is nothing to plant, and he sat in the house for a while and was a little unwilling.

In the middle of October, a strong wind blew almost the people standing by the Bianjing River to the side, and then the light rain fell down, a layer of autumn rain and a layer of cold, even if they wore a jacket, they could not help but shiver in this field, but this did not affect the people to queue up and bear the employment of the government to cultivate the silt fields.

A small guard held an umbrella and trotted to follow Liu Xiaohu, who was hurrying forward, half-covering and half-hiding his official uniform was already wet, and walked into the wind-blown shed, the officials stood up and saluted, Liu Xiaohu pressed the scribe who was about to put down the pen and paper, and saw that more than a dozen names had been written and the number of acres of the field.

"How many more?" Liu Xiaohu asked.

"Back to your lordship, there are only three acres left." The scribe stood up and replied respectfully.

Three acres? However, it was about to be robbed in two days, because of the ridicule of the imperial history and many remarks, the Beijing sergeants and doctors refused to buy the silt field, the emperor was not in a hurry, sneered, announced that the silt field was hired by the government to cultivate, and it could also be auctioned directly to the peasants, and promised not to collect taxes that year.

Looking at the still long queue outside, Liu Xiaohu had to discuss with the officials to let them disperse, and when the news spread, there was a lament outside, and some people made a fuss, and there was some confusion for a while.

Liu Xiaohu strode out, trying to appease the people, but saw that the officers and soldiers and the people pushed and squeezed down a group of people, and suddenly cried, Liu Xiaohu shook his head and stomped his feet, and went to help a woman who fell into the mud at his feet.

"My lord, my lord, please, give me a few pieces of land, just a few points." Before the woman got up, she saw that the person in front of her was wearing an official uniform, and for a while, she grabbed Liu Xiaohu's robe like a life-saving straw and kowtowed and begged.

Liu Xiaohu couldn't bear it in his heart, pulled her up, and said: "This eldest lady, this official ......" Before she finished speaking, the woman raised her head in a little panic, reached out and touched the rain on her face twice, revealing a frozen pale face, her eyes were facing each other, and both of them were stunned.

Liu Xiaohu blinked vigorously and said in disbelief: "You, you, Sister Yulou?" ”

When the woman heard this, she was first startled and then rejoiced, then her face turned pale, and with a bang, she covered her face with her hands and turned around and ran away.
