Chapter Ninety-Five: The Imperial Family
Liu is a big surname, but it is also a national surname, Ma Cheng didn't want him to leave casually and run into the royal family. This Liu Xiu is actually the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, from the lineage of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha Ding, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and his father Liu Qin's generation, who also served as the commander of Jiyang County. And when it comes to Liu Xiu, there are only a few acres of fertile land left.
But even so, the royal family is still a royal family after all, and the style of talking is different from that of ordinary village civilians.
Not to mention anything else, in addition to farm tools, the most placed in this small courtyard are books, the four treasures of the study, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the rare swords, guns, swords, halberds and halberds.
"My brothers are not at home, except for me, there is only one old family servant, if there is no good hospitality, please also invite the adult Haihan." Liu Xiuyi is courteous, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Where, where is it, we are here to disturb and cause you trouble, my sister and brother-in-law are very temperamental and do not pay attention to vulgarity." Before Du Yun could speak, Guo Shengtong had already replied first, looking eager and not ladylike enough.
"Ahem" Li Xiaosi reminded with a low cough, speaking of Guo Meizi, can you be more reserved, the word "favor" is so obvious on your face, okay?
Du Yun took a sip of tea, looked at Li Xiaosi with flying eyes, although he did not speak, his eyebrows and eyes smiled, but he seemed to say "like gathers like things".
"......" mean, this means me...... Well, once upon a time, Li Xiaosi seemed to look at Du Yun with this expression.
Hum! So what, not only before, but also now, and in the future, I will look at you with this expression for the rest of my life, what can you do.
Li Xiaosi raised his neck, quite a bit of "I'm a hooligan, who am I afraid of" good ambition. Du Yun smiled, shook his head, and reached out to hold Li Xiaosi's hand.
Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong were chatting back and forth in the house, and Du Yun led Li Xiaosi to quietly withdraw and stroll around the village at will.
"Isolated from the rest of the world, this place is as beautiful as a paradise." Duyun sighed infinitely.
"Well, it's good that the mudslide didn't harm the village." Li Xiaosi casually agreed.
Speaking of the mudslide, Du Yun had a hazy thought in his heart, and muttered: "I remember that the gazetteer said that there is a kind of tree that is abundant here, burned into charcoal, smokeless and fragrant, and it is hard to find. ”
Du Yun thought that the prosperity in front of him was about to dissipate in a blink of an eye, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart. He added: "This kind of charcoal has been around for a hundred years, and it is difficult to see this kind of forest in the nearby mountains, and it has almost disappeared in the last ten years. It is for this reason that mudslides often occur here, and sooner or later the village will be lost. ”
"Cloud, do you have a way to save them?" Li Xiaosi asked.
Du Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's better for people to save themselves than to save themselves, there is a way, but the effect is quite slow, and the key is to rely on themselves." ”
"Don't try it." Li Xiaosi has always been optimistic, and she has always believed that Duyun's methods must be effective.
Du Yun nodded "Okay", just do it, Du Yun took Li Xiaosi back to the house and found Liu Xiu to discuss.
"I see that the soil from the mudslide is soft and fertile, and it can be brought back to be fertile land. The stones are piled up to block the road, and they can be transported back to add straw and glutinous rice to make a dam, which can protect the village and protect the fields, killing three birds with one stone. ”
Liu Xiu nodded: "Okay, my lord, this method is good, everyone is profitable, and it will be more powerful to do things." ”
"The official can't let the villagers work hard for the official in vain, and the wages for clearing the roads will be calculated according to the stone dams and fertile soil they have built."
Liu Xiu was grateful: "Thank you, my lord, I am really a good official who is dedicated to the people." ”
Good official, he can't afford such a false name, and he doesn't want to bear it, so he waved his hand with a smile: "But it's a matter of effort, and Brother Liu and the village chief are invited to discuss this matter more." ”
Liu Xiu saw that Ma Cheng was wearing the official uniforms, and they were all under Du Yun's orders, so he naturally knew that Du Yun's official position was not low. It's just that between words, Jianduyun doesn't want to show his bottom, and he doesn't want to oppress people with his official voice, so he admires it. Now seeing that he contributed money and efforts regardless of his reputation, he admired it even more, and he took on this matter with all his might, so he turned around and went to the village chief to discuss.
"Is that okay?" Li Xiaosi stood beside Du Yun and smiled skillfully.
"This is just a palliative treatment, not a cure, if you want to live and work in peace and contentment here, you have to rely on King Zhending." Du Yun looked back at Li Xiaosi, grabbed her shoulder with one hand and leaned on his arms.
As the sun set, the working men came back one after another, and the people who rubbed shoulders frequently turned back to the fairy-like couple, showing a good-natured smile. Cooking smoke curls in every household, and Du Yun can't help but sigh: "Cooking smoke is the most beautiful scenery in the world, hope, strength, and the warmth of home." ”
"We'll have a home, too." Li Xiaosi took Du Yun's hand back and swore an oath.
"With you is home, you are at home." Du Yun smiled and whispered in his ear: "Hurry up and marry me, have a bunch of children......"
Li Xiaosi pushed him away, blushing and smiling: "Okay, after sending the princess to the Huns, we will visit the church." ”
"Well, listen to you." Du Yun kissed Li Xiaosi lightly on the forehead, hugged her shoulder tightly, and couldn't wait to rub it into his arms.
This time, the area of the collapse of the mudslide is very large, and it will not be cleaned up overnight. Du Yun chatted with Liu Xiu in his spare time, and found that this young man was smart and down-to-earth, and he liked it more and more. And Liu Xiu feels that Du Yun knows astronomy and geography, and he can be a genius in the world, and he likes it.
Wishful thinking, Du Yun accepted Liu Xiu's apprentice, and at this time Liu Xiu realized that the teacher he worshipped was the great Sima Dong Xian, who was a product of the dynasty and had a unique scenery.
I have always heard all kinds of peachy scandals between Dong Xian and the emperor, Liu Xiu thought that Da Sima would be a traitorous and greedy minister of Israel, but he didn't want to, but Dong Daren was such a well-educated man with both talent and morality.
People can't look good, hearing is better than seeing, Liu Xiuxin sighed: "You can know how terrible it is to spread falsehoods." ”
Du Yun disagreed: "It doesn't matter what people think of me, the key is how you see yourself." My fate is up to me, I can't do it, there are many things, many people, and I can't jump to conclusions until the last moment. ”
"Yes, Teacher."
"I am going to the Huns this time, at the latest next autumn Angelica, if there is a chance, I will come to find you. I don't have much to teach you these days, but you may like the book of basic farming. ”
"Yes, yes, I like farming the most. If only one day I could grow a lot of food so that no one in the world would go hungry again. Liu Xiu stepped into practical farming, and the happiest thing in his eyes was a bumper harvest.
Du Yun not only wrote books on seed selection, sowing, grafting and irrigation, but also a lot of content on planting fruit trees, and even many suggestions for improving farm tools.
How to farm and how to farm well is the most basic way out of life for farmers. The planting of fruit trees can not only alleviate the damage caused by mudslides, but also increase income. The improvement of agricultural tools can greatly save labor and make farming more efficient.
This is the root cause of Duyun!
