Li Banghua stood by the canal with his hands in his hands, looking at the busy farming scene in all directions, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The stream is good for fishing, and the river field is resistant to rice planting." Life is only for this, and it is also proud of the emperor. ”

Pang Chunlai stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Meng Yan, is there any difference between the spring ploughing here and the spring ploughing in Jishui?" ”

"Farming for oneself and farming for the landlord is different." Li Banghua said with emotion.

Zhao Han looked at the sky from the side: "Since the beginning of spring, there has been no rain so far, and I am afraid that there will be another spring drought this year." Peasant associations had to be formed to help each other carry water for irrigation when the spring drought was severe. Students can also put it at home, whether it is a bowl or a scoop, it can help one point. ”

Pang Chun said: "The other villages and towns are fine, but the villages near the mountains in the north have only a few small streams for water sources. Once the spring drought is severe, the stream will dry up. ”

"We have to continue to build the canal longer," Zhao said, "and bring water from the river into the canal with a water wheel, so that the villages and towns in the north can get much closer." ”

Ouyang Steam suddenly came out: "When I was dividing the land in the north, I found that the acres of land there were relatively barren. Villagers may be organized to dig a few plots of poor harvest into reservoirs during the slack season. It stores water when it rains, takes it when it rains, and can also be used to raise fish in normal times. ”

"This method is very good, so I'll leave it to you." Zhao Han said with a smile.

"It's as good as it gets." Ouyang Steam arched his hand and said.

In the past two months, Ouyang Steam's performance has impressed Zhao Han.

A boy with fine clothes and food, a prodigy-born scholar, can actually mingle with mud legs.

And conscientious, do not shout hardship or tiredness, do things fairly, and win the hearts of the people.

This product is tired half to death every day, but he still has the energy to read, and he must read every night with candlelight, and write a poem every other day to praise the field.

Very good internal affairs talent!

Ouyang Steam said: "There are many limestones in the nearby mountains, but only there is a lime kiln on the mountain in Yongyang Town, and another lime kiln can be set up to burn lime." There is a lot of dolomiculture in the local area, and I have been to Jingdezhen, where porcelain is also used for firing porcelain. Why don't we build a porcelain kiln? ”

"There are no porcelain craftsmen." Zhao Han sighed.

Ouyang Steam said: "There are potters in the local area, but they can only burn clay pots and bowls. Or you can go to Jingdezhen with a lot of money and summon a few porcelain workers here, so that the local potters can slowly learn and improve. ”

Li Banghua said: "Xianwen takes it for granted, firing porcelain is not something that can be done by recruiting a few porcelain workers. ”

Zhao Han praised: "Xianwen's idea is very good, but it has to be done step by step. The top priority at the moment is spring ploughing, and when the spring ploughing is over, a peasant association will be established, and the peasant association will organize the villagers to work together to fight the drought, and at the same time organize the villagers to repair and excavate the canals. Jiangxi has been suffering from drought year after year, and it is getting worse year by year, and water conservancy projects are the top priority! ”

"Yes, water conservancy is fundamental!" Li Banghua thought so.

The national drought in the Chongzhen Dynasty was not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

Since the middle of the Wanli period, the central government has not organized much water conservancy projects, and it has relied on local officials to act according to responsibility and morality.

As the magistrates became worse and worse, water conservancy projects in various localities were abandoned one after another, and a small drought became a disaster, and a major drought caused people to starve everywhere. As long as Zhao Han is serious about building water conservancy, not to mention that there is no impact of the disaster, it is definitely much better than other places.

Huang Shunfu, mayor of Yongyang Town, said: "There are two canals in the town, both of which are very short and in disrepair. After the spring ploughing is over, the villagers can deepen and broaden their growth. Not to mention benefiting the whole town, at least half of the town should be benefited. ”

Liu Fang, a child from the south bank of Heshui, is currently serving as the chief military officer, assisting in the performance inspection of officials at all levels. This person suddenly said: "The late born is from Yinkeng Village, where silver is produced, and the silver has long been dug up, and the mountains and forests and slopes have been dug up with holes. In the slack season, villagers can be organized to level the barren slopes and wasteland, so that hundreds of acres of land can be obtained. ”

Another civilian worker named Li Hongwen said: "Every summer and autumn, there are floods in Huangba Village and Lijiagui. In the past, the polders continued to seize the river, resulting in the river channel becoming narrower and narrower, and the flood disaster was getting bigger and bigger. More trees can be planted along the river, villagers can be prevented from continuing the polders, and then the silt in the river section can be cleared, which may alleviate the annual flood situation. ”

"Write them all down," Zhao Han was very happy, "Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, if you have any ideas, you can write an official document and send it to the General Military Mansion." Now that the great cause is starting, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and I hope that you will work hard! ”

"I'll do my best!" The people answered.

Li Banghua could only secretly sigh that this atmosphere was too comfortable.

There are not so many intrigues, as long as you are willing to do things, you can get promoted. If you do things quickly and well, then you will be promoted quickly, and you will truly be rewarded on the basis of merit and merit.

Let's just say that the Zhaomo named Liu Fang was an ordinary field division officer a year ago, and now he has been promoted to a celebrity in the General Military Mansion. All the performance review documents of officials must go through the hands of this person, and then they will be forwarded to the higher authorities.

In Li Banghua's eyes, the Ming Dynasty is already the sunset, but this place is like the rising sun.

"Headquarters," a soldier scurried, "Mr. Li's family is here." ”

Li Banghua was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Zongzhen, I will retire first." ”

Zhao Han smiled: "Let's go together." ”

Everyone went to the pier and saw the family members who came, Li Banghua was a little gloomy.

There is only one old wife and one old concubine, each of whom brings a maid. Li Banghua's parents, children and grandchildren all stayed in Jishui and did not come, obviously unwilling to be thieves.

Since he is not a thief, he must dissociate himself from Li Banghua, most of them have removed Li Banghua from the family, and even his son is estimated to have passed on to his uncle's name - this is definitely not safe, if it makes a big trouble, he will also be punished by the clan.

"It's good that you're here, and there's no need to say anything else." Li Banghua put on a smiling face and comforted his old wife and concubine.

The wives and concubines were speechless, they were confused, and their husbands were inexplicably thieves.

Especially the wife, a good second-class fate, actually turned into a thief.

……

However, he said that Fei Chun took a boat and went straight to Lead Mountain, and heard that there was a religious rebellion in Lead Mountain halfway.

The demons Ma Liaoyang and Zhang Puwei led the people to rise up and quickly occupied Shanglu Town and the surrounding villages. Not only did they rob one of the eunuchs' banknotes, but they also stuck the commercial waterway leading to Fujian, and the eunuchs, gentry and merchants were contacting and suppressing the bandits.

"Madame, I'm back." Fei Chun knelt in front of Lou's family, always feeling a little awkward, he hadn't knelt for anyone for a year.

Lou couldn't keep calm and asked anxiously, "What about Ruhe?" ”

"The young master and Brother Han are doing business in other places." Fei Chun handed out two letters, one was written by Fei Ruhe and the other by Zhao Han.

Lou Shi hurriedly opened the letter, the content of the two letters was similar, both said that they were doing business in Ji'an Mansion, and the business was prosperous and promising, so Lou Shi should not worry.

Since his son was not in danger, Lou was a little relieved. She asked: "The fourth master robbed the banknote and was wanted by the imperial court, do you know about this?" ”

"I don't know, we haven't seen the fourth master." Fei Chun told half the truth.

Lou Shi asked again: "What kind of business are you doing in Ji'an?" ”

"Trafficking in goods." Fei Chun replied.

"What are you selling?" Lou asked.

Fei Chun said: "Selling lacquerware. ”

Lou sneered: "Where to buy from, where to traffick?" What is the purchase price? How much does it cost? ”

Fei Chun was a little confused by the question, and wanted to continue to make up lies, but he felt that he couldn't deceive Lou.

Seeing that Fei Chun couldn't speak, Lou sighed and said, "Say, what are you doing, even if it is a rebellion, I can hold it." ”

Fei Chun could only say: "Mrs. Hui, we are rebelling." ”

Lou's whole body was weak, and Yingchun hurriedly supported him.

After slowing down for a long time, Lou's voice trembled: "Sure enough, you have done a great thing, you are really ...... How can this be justified, how can this be justified! ”

Fei Chun muttered: "Madam, Da Ming is hopeless, we can rebel." ”

"If you say you can do it, you can do it? It's you and Zhao Han who brought the young master badly! Lou clenched his fists, already furious.

Fei Chun simply let go, knelt down and said: "Madam, now that we have half a county, even the governor has committed suicide in defeat, and the prefect and the prefect have been killed. Even ...... Even Mr. Ji Shui Li is now our man. Mr. Li has been a secretary of the military department, and he is willing to be a thief, so we are not petty fights. ”

"That Luling giant Zhao Yan, is actually Zhao Han?" Lou Shi asked in surprise, obviously Zhao Yan's prestige had spread to Lead Mountain.

Fei Chun said: "Zhao Yaonian, who ranks second in the sea fishing paperwork, is the young master. ”

"Madame!"

Yingchun shouted anxiously, but it was Lou who fainted.

In the inner courtyard, chickens and dogs jumped, tossing for a while, and Lou finally woke up quietly.

She ordered Yingchun not to talk much, and withdrew the other house slaves, leaving only Fei Chun and Fei Rulan.

Fei Chun said: "Madam, since the matter has been done, it is impossible to stop it. ”

Lou sighed: "You are trying to implicate the Fei family and let the entire Fei family wipe out the family!" ”

"Madam, Li Shangshu is willing to be a thief, is he also confused?" Fei Chun couldn't help but refute.

Lou sat down on the chair and said weakly: "Do you still want to change the dynasty?" ”

Fei Chun said: "I just want the world to be the same." ”

"The world is the same? Brother Han is really ambitious. Lou smiled bitterly, his face full of sadness.

Fei Chun suddenly said arrogantly: "Mrs. Haojiao knows, if Brother Han is willing, he can take Ji'an Mansion at this time." We already have thousands of elite soldiers, if the government dares to turn its face, half of Jiangxi can also be taken! ”

"You're a good guy!" Lou gritted his teeth.

Fei Chun stood up suddenly: "Madam, I am now in charge of money and food, and I am also the number one person." ”

"Good, good," Lou laughed angrily, "you're all very good, I'm really blind!" ”

Fei Chun arched his hand and said: "Madam, wait a minute, within two or three years, Brother Han will definitely take the entire Jiangxi, and then the Fei family can also follow suit." This is not a lie, Mrs. also knows Brother Han's temperament, he is not a fool. ”

These words made Lou Shi calm down a little and began to think about the pros and cons.

She has only one son, and since her son has become a thief, Lou has to let go.

What loyalty and patriotism are all nonsense, they are not as important as their own sons!

After thinking for a long time, Lou asked, "Brother Han is the head of the thief?" ”

Fei Chun knew that he couldn't say it clearly, so he only picked up what Lou could understand and said: "Brother Han is like Emperor Taizu, the young master is like Xu Da, Mr. Pang is Liu Bowen, and Li Shangshu is Li Shanchang." ”

Lou asked again: "Is the government really unable to do anything about you?" ”

Fei Chun said with a smile: "Ji'an Mansion and Luling County, the officials have been killed, and the governor of Jiangxi has also been defeated and killed, unless the imperial court mobilizes several provinces to encircle and suppress, no one in Jiangxi dares to send troops!" ”

Lou believes that Jiangxi has also caused chaos in the past, and it has mobilized several provincial armies to collect it.

Among them, the Guangxi wolf soldiers are powerful in Jiangxi, and there are still countless legends left behind, such as Guangxi soldiers love to eat people and the like.

It is not a good reputation, Guangxi wolf soldiers entered Jiangxi, burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil, and county by county was reduced to white land.

So much so that after the appearance of anti-thieves in Jiangxi, if you don't let the court know, you try not to let the court know, for fear that there will be officers and soldiers from other provinces who will come to collect them.

Lou hesitated, and then asked, "Li Shangshu also took refuge in you?" ”

"Absolutely." Fei Chun said.

Li Banghua is very famous in Jiangxi, and Hanzhu Academy has hired him many times, but he has not been able to invite Li Banghua to teach in Lead Mountain.

Lou felt that Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe were unreliable, but he felt that Li Banghua was more reliable.

Suddenly, Lou said to his daughter: "Your brother Han, take your brother to be a thief." What are your thoughts? ”

Fei Rulan's mind was a little confused, and she didn't even know how to speak, so she just stood by and listened.

"Would you like to marry Luling?" Lou simply asked.

Fei Rulan wanted to speak and stopped, she was very entangled in her heart.

Lou said: "You follow Fei Chun to Luling, and when Brother Han returns to Lead Mountain, I will make up the dowry for you." ”

Lou made this choice purely for the sake of his son.

Since her son is a thief, she can only go all the way to the dark.

But if there is more than one son, the Lou family will not be like this, and the right should give birth to a sin.

It's a pity that she only has one evil seed......
