This night, Mo Youran had a rare insomnia, it was not easy for a farmer, he had only heard others before, but he had not really felt it, this time it finally opened his eyes.

What can he do to help those who work hard and don't get what they deserve? They have been working hard for a year, and sometimes they don't even receive enough bread for the whole family.

Dong Liang hadn't slept yet, lighting an oil lamp and reading a book on agriculture nearby, Danzhu came over with a yawn: "Miss, go to sleep, don't burn your eyes, besides, this oil lamp smells so bad that it's unpleasant." ”

"You go to sleep, I'll sleep after reading this page." Dong Liang looked up at the bean-like flame, did it smell big? But this oil lamp was not lit by every household.

After flipping through the book and making sure that those high-yielding crops had not yet been passed on at this time, Dong Li put down the book and rubbed his eyes, what era is this? She already knew that the place where she was located was the Dayue Dynasty, the royal family's surname was Nangong, Nangong Xiao was an authentic royal child, and Zhenbei Hou was the elder brother of Emperor Rui of the current dynasty.

This is an era that does not exist in Chinese history, although many places are very similar to ancient China, but she has seen glass, this thing has already appeared, such as the glass bottle she has seen, her own vanity mirror is also glass, and the small mirror of Yannong baby, glass should still be a relatively expensive thing.

Grain is still poor a few kinds, mainly rice and wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like have not yet appeared, Dongli remembers that these kinds of things are transmitted from overseas, basically the late Ming Dynasty, but it is difficult to say whether there is such a thing in China before, remember Su Dongpo's "and Tao Liu Zisang" has the following sentence:

Sweet potatoes and purple taro, far around the wall. And put the orchid incense, don't fight for the frost chrysanthemum autumn. The poor winter is out of the urn, and the land is better than the agricultural domain.

She can't remember the whole poem clearly, and this poem also caused a debate, whether the sweet potatoes in it were the sweet potatoes that came later? This point is not clear, but it is still necessary to check, and if it is local, it is not necessary to bother.

The Mo family's base camp is in the south of the Yangtze River, where the shipping has been relatively developed, and there are often some high-nosed Westerners who come here to do business or travel, and if you pay close attention, you may have unexpected gains.

Putting away the book, Dong Liang was still thinking nonsense when he was lying on the bed, and he saw Nangong Xiao again in a daze, he looked confused for a while, and after a while, he became a noble son who rescued her in danger in the alley, and he slept very unsteadily.

What is Nangong Xiao doing? He asked someone to send a group of abductors to the county yamen that day, and then went to the inn to find the Hou of Zhenbei, and the father and son discussed when to visit the Mo family, and the secret guard sent to follow the east fence came back soon, Nangong Xiao learned that Jun Rufeng was actually close to Mo Youran of the Mo family, and he was stunned for a while.

"That's it? You didn't go with him to see who he was? "Zhenbei Hou stroked his beard thoughtfully, is he familiar with the Mo family? The Mo family has only moved here for a few days?

"Shame on your subordinates! Because Lord Zuo Zhan was also on the side, his subordinates couldn't get close. "The dark guard is also very helpless, that Zuo Zhan is very tight, and he will be discovered if he gets closer.

"Left Zhan?" Zhenbei Hou was surprised, this kid is actually so close to the Mo family? Wave your hand: "Forget it, I don't blame you for this, go down!" ”

The Dark Guard immediately retreated into the darkness and continued to lurk beside his master.

Nangong Xiao gently rubbed his lips with his curved index finger: "This Mo family is not simple." ”

"Oh? Tell me, what's wrong with them? Zhenbei Hou raised his eyes and glanced at his son, as if he was very interested in his topic.

"They've only been here for a short time, but they've quickly gained a foothold." Nangong Xiao pondered and spoke, and quickly analyzed in his heart, befriended Zuo Zhan through the bones dug up in the yard, and won the respect and support of the majority of tenants by sending Diao slaves, which seemed to be unintentional, but who knew that the results would be beneficial to them.

"Actually, some things are not so complicated, but they are thought to be complicated." Zhenbei Hou suddenly laughed, and clasped his fingers on the table: "You, you have been made full of conspiracy and calculations by those people in the palace, since you have come out, then take a good rest." Your father-in-law is a good man, although he is a little inflexible, but this has a good temperament, and he is better than a slippery sycophant. And Mo Youran, this kid......"

Nangong Xiao pursed his lips: "Father, you have a father-in-law, my mother may not agree!" "The mother takes a fancy to the youngest daughter of the Anguo family.

"A woman's opinion!" Zhenbei Hou disagrees with his wife's vision, those vulgar fans, who have long faces and no brains, what's the use of marrying back and putting a room? Oh, there's a lot of this type in the son's house.

Nangong Xiao raised his eyebrows as if he had nothing to do with himself: "Anyway, I don't care, not all women are the same." ”

Zhenbei Hou is also very helpless about his son, and those women ...... Forget it, anyway, out of sight and out of mind: "You kid don't talk nonsense, after the matter is dealt with in two days, you will come to visit me and meet your fiancée by the way." ”

Nangong Xiao didn't react, and the chief outside respectfully said: "Master Hou, Master Shizi, Master Zuo is visiting." ”

Zuo Zhan is coming? Zhenbei Hou suddenly opened his eyebrows and laughed: "Call him in!" ”

Zuo Zhan was wearing civilian clothes, and when he entered the door, he first gave the town a fist behind him: "I've seen Master Hou!" ”

"You kid, you don't know if you're going back after you come out, do you?" Zhenbei Hou laughed, Nangong Xiao went up and gave Zuo Zhan a punch, and the two of them hugged each other and laughed.

Zuo Zhan sat down and looked at Zhenbei Hou with a smile: "I didn't believe it when I heard that you were here, but I didn't expect it to be true, is it a private matter or a business matter for Master Hou to come back?" ”

"Both public and private!" Zhenbei Hou looked at this junior who had always admired him with a smile, "When do you plan to return to Beijing?" The dignified first-class imperial guard actually came to such a small place and didn't leave, are you playing temper with the emperor? ”

"Don't dare!" Zuo Zhan immediately had a serious look.

"Cut, it's still so boring!" Nangong Xiao hooked his shoulders and leaned over, with thief eyebrows: "I said brother, you are also half a snake here, is there any good place to introduce and have fun." ”

Zuo Zhan coughed, grabbed Nangong Xiao's hand with two fingers, and threw it out as if he was dealing with something disgusting: "You don't come with me to do this, I'm not good at being a man." ”

"I haven't seen you have a heart for a woman." Nangong Xiao pouted: "By the way, you have a good relationship with the Mo family?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" Zuo Zhan looked at this guy vigilantly, "Because I have been to a case a few times, Mo Gongzi is a good person, and I can talk to him very well." ”

"Oh!" Nangong Xiao nodded, "Then you haven't seen the young lady of the Mo family?" ”

What does this guy want to do? Zuo Zhan was secretly vigilant, it was not that he was not authentic as a brother, but this kid really had a bad criminal record, so he suddenly inquired about other girls, did he have any thoughts? In an instant, I remembered that the brothers and sisters of the Mo family seemed to know these people from the Nangong family, and they seemed to be old acquaintances, could it be that there were any grievances involved?

Zhenbei Hou also came to be interested: "Tell me, look at the people of the Mo family, what do you feel?" ”

If Nangong Xiao asked, Zuo Zhan would probably not dump him, that guy is fast kraft candy, don't want to tear it off if it sticks, and his skin is very thick and shameless. But the Hou of Zhenbei asked, so it was naturally different.

"People from the Mo family, I've only seen a few, and I can't know them clearly." Zuo Zhan thought about it carefully: "The master of the Mo family is a serious person on the surface, but he is very open-minded, I have only met his wife once, and I feel that his temper is very gentle. The most familiar is Mo Youran, who is very smart and motivated, and I am afraid that he will have a bright future in the future. Miss......"

"How?" Nangong Xiao looked at him energetically, looking a little nervous.

"I know that there are two young ladies in the Mo family, the eldest lady is a descendant, but I have met her a few times, she is very smart and gentle, and the Mo family is very spoiled by her." Zuo Zhan recalled the girl's appearance, and said thoughtfully: "I even suggested that Mo Youran, who was in a slump, go to study farming." ”

Well? The father and son glanced at each other, this is something done by the eldest lady of the Mo family? Why doesn't it sound like what the previous information says?

"Studying farming? She wants her brother to be a farmer? Nangong Xiao seemed a little confused, and was glared at by Zhenbei Hou: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Nangong Xiao grinned, of course he knew the importance of farming, if Mo Youran really researched something, he would definitely receive attention from above. This young lady is not simple!

"As for the other young lady, I don't know much, I haven't seen it either, and I live in a simple place." Zuo Zhan shrugged, Mo Yunxiao inquired about him several times, and he actually knew, but he was just pretending to be confused.

Zhenbei Hou squinted his eyes and looked at Zuo Zhan, his description of Mo Dongli was so detailed, could it be that he was tempted by that girl? This is rare, you must know that Zuo Zhan is notoriously cold-faced, his daughter-in-law was still married by the Queen Mother, but the woman was stunned that she didn't cover this stone with heat, and she died first, and Zuo Zhan fell into the name of a wife.

However, that is his son's fiancée, Zhenbei Hou has a headache, what is going on?
