This year's Nanyang is different from previous years, even if it is a bumper harvest in previous years, it is also a bumper harvest for wealthy families, and many people are still unclothed and hungry.

Nowadays, a large number of displaced and transferred people have their own land, and they don't have to pay taxes, so I ask you if you're excited?!

The golden ears of rice were harvested one by one under the sickle, bundled into bundles, and stacked in the field.

In the past few days, except for the soldiers on duty at the four gates, all the officials and soldiers took their sickles and went to work in the fields of the public office to collect grain.

Gongfu land is a government-funded land leased to tenants for planting, when did the tenants enjoy such treatment? I thought the army was coming to grab food.

The officials who followed explained to the people in time, and they opened their mouths for a long time.

It wasn't until the soldiers had harvested most of the harvest that they came to their senses and hurriedly brought water to quench the thirst of the soldiers who were helping.

Li Yu was very happy today and took his family to the field to see the harvest scene.

Concubine Xian Xiuniang got down from the chariot and followed behind Li Yu, while Concubine Min Biniang was jumping around and looking around.

"Ahem, Bi Niang must not lose her manners."

Concubine Xian coughed and reminded in a low voice.

"Hee-hee, I know my sister."

Listening to Xiaocui's laughter behind her, Bi Niang followed behind Li Yu seriously, and also coughed, "Don't lose your manners." ”

"Yes, Princess."

Xiao Cui stuck out her tongue and hurriedly agreed.

Behind him, all the guards and attendants closed their lips tightly, and their faces were strange.

"It's been a good year!"

Li Yu said as he walked slowly.

"It is the husband who governs well, and it is an auspicious scene."

"Alas, I hope I can starve less, it's still early for Xiangrui."

Li Yu looked at the soldiers in the field who were cutting grain, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Fang Xing ran over and said, "Lord, we have harvested three hundred acres and are continuing to harvest." ”

"Well, take advantage of the sunny days to harvest and add meat and vegetables at night."

"Yes, my lord."

Fang Xing turned around and ran to the field, conveying Li Yu's reward, adding meat at night, and bursts of cheers came from the field.

Li Yu greeted with a smile, looked at it while walking, and pointed out the problem in time.

When he was busy doing agitation work, the embroidery girl behind him grabbed him.

"Oh? What's the matter with Concubine Xian? ”

"Husband, the concubine has something to tell you. The husband is afraid that he will be a little cold to those eight beauties, so it is better to go into the mansion and serve them, so that our sisters can ......"

"What? Are you tired of me? Li Yu asked with a funny face.

"Oh, it's not!" The embroidery girl was anxious when she heard it, and she had long forgotten the style of the crepe, and the vernacular came up.

"How's that?"

"Husband, don't you really know?" Bi Niang hurriedly asked.

"What do I know?"

"My sister is pregnant."

Bi Niang is fast in the end, and as soon as she tells this secret, the embroidered girl's little face is red.

"Really?"

Li Yu's eyes widened, I have a child?!

Li Yu gradually had a sense of integration when he arrived in his fiefdom, at this time he heard that the embroidery girl was pregnant, he was in a complicated mood, both joyful and a little incredible, and finally accepted his fate, he really took root in this world!

"Yes, the concubine has already let Lang Zhong take the pulse."

The embroidered girl replied weakly.

"Good!"

Li Yu hugged the embroidery girl and kissed her fiercely on the mouth.

"Me, and me!"

Bi Niang also came over with her feet.

"You?"

Li Yu looked at Bi Niang with a puzzled expression.

"I, I ......"

The outspoken Bi Niang was suddenly stuck.

"Husband, Bi Niang has it too."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Bi Niang's little head is a strong point!

"Good! It's really a macho man for a husband! ”

Li Yu laughed, and the guards and entourage behind him all smiled when they heard the news. For the people of this era, their masters have descendants, the foundation they have laid can be inherited, and their wealth and wealth can be extended to their descendants.

"That's why, husband, we let the beauty into the house, my sister is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to serve, please have mercy on my husband!"

The embroidered lady Bi Niang gave Li Yu a gift.

"Hurry up."

Li Yu pulled the two little princesses up, took their hands one by one, and said: "Outside the husband, you are the master, and you have the final say on the affairs of the family, I don't care." ”

After speaking, he hugged the little princess one by one.

"Go home."

are pregnant, how dare Li Yu let the two little princesses walk around?!

When he returned to the palace, Li Yu asked Lang Zhong to find Lang Zhong to check the princess's pulse again, and confirmed that she was pregnant, so she wrote a letter to her two fathers-in-law and Chang'an's father and queen mother to report the good news.

Eight beauties were on the side, pouring tea and water for Li Yu, extremely attentive.

"From now on, you will obey the instructions of the two princesses, and there will be no mistake."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The girls hurriedly gave Li Yu a salute, came to the princess to salute, and listened to the princess's instructions.

In the past few months, the eight women have been neglected.

Of course, they knew that their identity was impossible to become a princess, at most they were concubines, and they were snubbed by Li Yu for a few months, they finally became honest, and they also knew that they would have to be by his side for the rest of their lives. What can they do about threats to the safety of their families? Is it a man who doesn't care about himself for the sake of his family? Women in this era are not so great, men are their ultimate destination, even Zhu Quanzhong has extinguished the mind of beauty, let alone these helpless women?

The eight of them saw that the princess was pregnant, and they had another chance, so of course they had to do their best.

"You talk, I still have something to do."

This kind of backyard internal meeting, Li Yu doesn't want to participate, although the embroidery girl Biniang is not very old, she still has a set of management backyards, so let them go.

Li Yu went to the front yard to run errands, and the two princesses in the backyard had the final say.

"The eight of you, follow the sign to serve the king of De, and you must not approach without permission, otherwise the family law will be ruthless."

The embroidered lady made a straight face and took out the posture of the princess, which was really like that.

"Remember?"

Bi Niang asked fiercely with big eyes.

"Remember, Concubine Min."

"Mei Lan Zhuju is here today, the four of you go down first."

"Yes."

Four older beauties were left behind to accompany the princess to talk.

Parvis.

Li Yuzheng spoke to several major civil officials.

"Changshi, have we started buying grain?"

"Lord, it's been a few days since the acquisition."

"How much did you collect?"

"Lord, I have already collected 100,000 stones." Gao Shiyu said.

"How much grain is expected to be purchased this year?"

"About 300,000 stones."

"Oh? It doesn't seem like much. ”

"Lord, 300,000 stones, it's already a lot."

Changshi Zhou Kuan said.

"In previous years, the income from the treasury was only more than 100,000 stones."

"Yes, my lord. This year, unlike previous years, we used money to buy, not to collect taxes, and the people not only kept enough rations and seeds, but also got a lot of copper coins. Gao Shile said.

He is in charge of the grain depot, and of course he knows the current situation best.

"Hehe, lord, there are more than 30 newly opened shops in Nanyang in the past few days, most of them are cloth villages and iron shops, and a few veterinarians have been listed."

Wang Qian, as the chief bookkeeper, is in charge of the documents and files, and of course knows the situation of the newly opened shops on the street.

"Good!"

Li Yu was happy in his heart.

A small Nanyang County can have 300,000 stones of surplus grain, which is really good!

Thinking that not only was there a bumper harvest of grain, but also a harvest in his back house, he was full of smiles for a while.

"My lord, our money is being spent too quickly."

Wang Qian was still in charge of the account books, and he knew how much money had been spent during this time.

Let's not talk about the money and grain borrowed from Xiangyang in advance, let's just say that the money and grain invested by the major households in Nanyang are 2 million.

But he can't stand Li Yu's bad practice.

The money for the purchase of raw materials for gunpowder, the purchase of iron, and the production of guns and minecarts was like running water.

Now the purchase of grain is another big expense.

Miscellaneous costs are also quite a bit.

Warehouses were built, rivers were repaired, walls were repaired, and money was spent everywhere.

Now there are only 300,000 yuan left in the treasury.

Thinking that there were fewer and fewer copper coins in Curry, Li Yu felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

It seems that by next year at the latest, the silver sand thieves must be eradicated, otherwise it will affect their copper mining industry.

"How many weapons do we have in stock?"

He looked at Li Huaixian on the side.

"My lord, there are 600 pistols in stock, 5,000 grenades, 580 horizontal knives, and 50 improved iron armor."

"Well, we need to speed up production."

The improvement of the iron armor was proposed by Li Yu.

The iron armor only protects the chest and back, a bit like an iron vest.

Mainly to block arrows.

Because Li Yu's current army has begun to be equipped with modern muskets, killing the enemy from a distance of 100 meters does not need to wear full-body armor, which is too heavy and affects mobility.

Now the main officials of the palace have recognized Li Yu, and they have all changed their titles, calling Li Yu the lord, not His Royal Highness.

This shows that these people are their own people, and they are no longer public-to-public, but private-to-private.

"At the end of the autumn harvest, send troops to Jingnan with the festival marshal, you must have a preparation in your heart."

"Yes, my lord."

Li Yu returned to the back house and had dinner with the princess.

"Husband, you go to Chunniang's to rest tonight."

"Huh? Why? ”

"Oops, she drew lots!"

Bi Niang said with a quick mouth and a grin.

"I don't want to go, I'll be with you tonight."

As soon as they heard this, Xiuniang and Bi Niang's hearts warmed, and their faces turned red.

"Husband, let's go, otherwise our prestige will be gone."

Xiuniang said glutinously.

"Really? Do you want prestige or a husband? ”

Li Yu teased with a smile.

“…… Oops, husband! ”

The embroidery lady blushed and didn't know how to choose for a while.

"Hehe, I want a husband, I don't have any prestige anyway."

Bi Niang smiled and pulled Li Yu and said.

"Since I want to accompany you, then I'll rest here tonight."

"Huh?"

The embroidery girl blushed, but Bi Niang grinned, "Okay, okay!" I slept next to my sister. ”
