Chapter Ninety-Three: A Year's Plan Lies in Spring

After the Wu Cao sisters arrived at the Li Mansion, they learned that the person who saved them was the future husband of the current eldest princess, Li Yong, Bo of Xishan County, when Wu Cao saw Li Yong, his eyes went straight to the little star, because Li Yong's deeds in Songzhou were known all over the world, men admired, and women regarded him as a hero in their hearts, which of course included Wu Cao, Wu Cao was two years older than Li Lizhen, but he was already charming, faintly wanting to compare Zheng Liwan, Li Yong was also a headache, one was Emperor Wu, a Zheng female strongman like Cao Cao, If it weren't for her mother Fan pressing in the backyard, Li Yong's backyard would have been on fire a long time ago, Li Yong was drinking tea in the yard with a headache, thinking in his heart how many women he has now, the main wife must be Changle, and the two equal wives are Zheng Liwan and Li Xueyan, this is set by his mother, Li Yong has no opinion, and what opinion can he have, he doesn't want to live? Li Xueyan made him a flat wife, Li Xiaogong's old guy was going to cut him with a knife, as for Chunlan Xiaoxue, she also had to be a concubine, this is good, two days ago, his mother gave what heirloom jade ring to the Wu Cao sisters, Li Yong didn't know where his mother got so many heirloom jade rings, a young man who was not yet sixteen years old and crowned suddenly had three wives and four concubines, Li Yong felt that he had no face to go out, the evil old society, as for Wushun's son Helan Minzhi, although this oil bottle is very curious about Li Yong here, But he doesn't like it here, because he thinks it's too small, it's not as good as his original family, after all, the Helan family is a big family, and every day is a maid waiting for clothes to open his hands and eat to open his mouth, and now there is no maid to wait, and he has to work like those servants every day, and even have to study with Li Yong, he has told his mother Wu Shun more than once that he wants to go back to Helan's house, but Wu Shun, who was provoked, burst into tears, saying that he was ignorant or anything, but he only felt that his mother was incompetent, and he also held a grudge against Wu Shun, his son's thoughts, How could Wu Shun not know, this naturally couldn't escape Li Yong's eyes, but he didn't say anything, after all, this is someone's family matter, finally one night, Wu Shun came to Li Yong's study alone, when Li Yong saw her, he knew what she was going to say, but Wu Shun was much worse than her sister in character, that is, she was very weak, and if she didn't listen to anything if she didn't have the right opinion, she listened to others, but her appearance was indeed beautiful and moving, especially with the charm of a young woman. No wonder she and her daughter served Emperor Gaozong together, Li Zhi can be regarded as the daughter of the sisters and the wife and sister, and the harem of Emperor Wu, Li Longji even accepted his own daughter-in-law, this is what later generations said that the Han Dirty Tang Mess was caused by these people.

"What are you looking for me?"

Wu Shun thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"Zhi'er wants to go back to Helan's house."

"Oh? If you want to go back, go back, I said that you are not selling yourself to me, you can leave at any time if you want, I will not stop you. ”

Wu Shun heard this and hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, it's not, it's just that Zhi'er wants to go back, after all, he belongs to the Helan family, as for me and Cao'er, if it weren't for Gongzi to come to the rescue, what would be the fate of our sisters, you can imagine, and you are very good to us, and Mrs. takes good care of us, so we won't leave."

The more Wu Shun spoke, the quieter she became, her pretty face was as crimson as a red glow, she naturally knew what Fan meant, and she understood better what would happen to her sister in the future, but after all, she had been married and had children, and she definitely had low self-esteem, but Li Yong and Fan, and even the entire Li Mansion did not discriminate against her, but respected her very much, which she had never felt, in this era, the two sisters and Empress E's daughter served a husband together, and they abound among the nobles, not to mention that like Li Yong, Wu Shun also likes it very much, after all, she is four years older than Li Yong, when Li Yong was still in college at that time, she liked the environment and people of Li Mansion, and that woman didn't like to live a peaceful life.

"Okay, I'll still say the same thing, if you don't like living here, you can leave at any time, and as for your son, I will arrange for someone to send him back to Helan's house."

Li Yong is also a normal man, naturally he doesn't like to raise his son for others for nothing, so he agreed to Wu Shun's request, Helan Minzhi was sent away by Li Yong the next day, Wu Shun watched his son leave for many years, and felt very uncomfortable, but she knew that her son didn't like it here at all, and he looked down on her mother, Helan Minzhi was also a white-eyed wolf, and he didn't even say hello to his mother Wu Shun on the day he left, so he followed the people of the Helan family and Li Yong's people to leave Chang'an, Li Yong saw this scene and felt that Wu Shun's decision was right, It's not that she doesn't love her son, but that her son is really bad, and he hopes that Wushun will slowly fade in the future. The Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end soon, Li Yong's drunken beauty is a big sale, Zheng Liwan then adopts the strategy of hunger marketing and membership, now a box of drunk beauty in Chang'an can buy a thousand taels on the black market, and it is priceless, Zheng Liwan can be said to be crazy, boxes and boxes of gold, silver and copper coins are secretly pulled to the underground vault of Xishan Bank, everything is developing in a good direction, Li Yong's capital continues to grow, many industries have begun to monopolize, and the pressure of the family gate valve is breathless, and the assets continue to shrink and there is nothing to be done. Today is not dawn, Li Yong was pulled up from the bed by several women, because today is the first court meeting of the new year, Li Yong was ordered to participate again, Li Yong still found a hidden position to sleep lazily, still from the front said how fierce it is none of his business, in fact, there is really nothing, that is, Li Er and those ministers said that this year's work plan, are some cliché things, what spring ploughing, education, taxation, people's livelihood and other things, the most fierce of which is the imperial examination, those who oppose it still insist on opposing an inch, Li Er couldn't get off the stage like this, and he quarreled for most of the day, and there was no result in a red ear and red face, and finally Li Yong was pulled out by Huang Yan and Huang Gonggong in the same position, Li Yong complained in his heart about his black-hearted father-in-law, and he was pulled as a shield if he didn't do it, those people saw Li Yong, and they couldn't respond in their hearts, knowing that Li Yong was not so easy to deal with, as the saying goes, he was afraid of being stunned, Li Yong was stunned, Li Yong rubbed his soft eyelids and looked at those people, and said angrily.

"Why are you again, aren't you just going to take the imperial examination, what's there to worry about, it's not that you don't let your people participate, or are you afraid that your protégés can't compare to those poor students, right? Then you protégés shouldn't study, you should go back to farming, at least you won't starve to death, and are you afraid that those poor scholars who don't have books in their hands and can't make noise by copying are compared to the past? ”

Li Yong's words are murderous, those people from the family family control all the students in the world, and all the educational resources are monopolized by them, Li Yong said that their protégés can't do it, it's the uncle who can bear it, and the aunt can't bear it.

"Okay, I agree, then let's see whose protégé can study."

"Hey, that's right, the imperial examination is fair to everyone, so why quarrel around? Adults and protégés are all over the world, and you will be afraid of those poor scholars who don't have a few books, right? ”

Li Yong used the agitation method to bring these people to the pit step by step, they seemed to have forgotten that Li Er had mastered the new printing technique, and Li Er did not come again when he saw that the machine could not be lost, and immediately made a decision.

"Okay, the imperial examination will be resumed at the end of this year, and this matter will be in charge of the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and it will be announced to the world."

The supporters who understood it hurriedly accepted the order, and those who opposed it were stunned, so they fell into the pit in a daze, but it was too late, Li Yong gave the old man a look you know, Li Er naturally received it, and thought that his son-in-law was reliable, just when everyone thought that they were ready to withdraw from the dynasty, Li Yong suddenly said.

"Oh, I almost forgot, sage, I have something to offer you."

"Oh? What is it? ”

Li Er is also curious, he knows his son-in-law, he hid and slept in the court, he was still ordered by the arsenal, he didn't go to work for a day, and he didn't go to get it, he knew that he was at home all day long, how did he turn dead today, Li Yongchong took out a bag in his arms, and then handed it to the eunuch who came to pick it up, Li Er opened the bag and poured the contents into his hand, he looked at it.

"Rice seeds?"

Everyone was very curious, what was there to offer rice seeds Li Yong said seriously.

"Sage, this rice seed is called Champa rice, it is bought from the Champa country by the minister with a lot of money, and then improved by the ministers and his subordinates who will be farmers, this rice seed is not only drought tolerant, but also adaptable, it can be said that it is born regardless of the land, the biggest feature is that the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting, it can be planted in two seasons a year, and it can even be three seasons a year in the Jiangnan region, and the yield is extremely high, and the grain yield per mu is about five stones."

"What? Are you telling the truth? ”

Li Er stood up suddenly, and it was not easy to speak, because food is always the lifeblood of the country, especially in the feudal era, when there was no organic fertilizer or anything, the stable population of the society and so on depended on food, and now Li Yong took out this rice seed like immortal rice, how can this not make an emperor like Li Er crazy, Taiji Hall is not calm, Li Er is not calm, everyone knows what this means, you can grow two or even three seasons of high-yield grain a year, that represents too much meaning.

"Really, the minister has already experimented, so naturally he can't be wrong."

"Why? Why did you have this rice seed first~"

Li Yong was suddenly grabbed by the collar by a person, Li Yong looked at it, I, it turned out to be Niu Jinda, he didn't know why he was so excited, it seemed that he wanted to eat him alive, Li Yong didn't dare to start like kicking Cheng Biting Jin, so he let him pull his collar, fortunately, Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong and others hurriedly ran out to pull Niu Jinda away, Li Yong shrugged his shoulders and looked at Qin Qiong and a few of them, Cheng Biting Jin said in his ear.

"Back then, Lao Niu's family starved to death, don't be surprised by your kid, he was also excited."

"Presumptuous, what kind of system has become under the hall."

Li Er slapped the desk in anger, but everyone was frightened, and they didn't dare to make any more noise, Niu Jinda sat on the ground with red eyes and collapsed, Qin Qiong and the others glanced at each other, they all shook their heads and sighed, Li Yong sorted out the official robe that was ripped by Niu Jinda, in fact, he didn't blame Niu Jinda, because Gundam was also like this back then, it should be said that many people are born like this, this is what he took out the Zhancheng rice and wanted to implement it throughout the country, so that people in the world would no longer starve, so that this kind of tragedy would not happen again. After a long time, Li Er calmed down and said slowly.

"Niu Jinda lost his honor in the hall and was fined for one year, where is Sinong Siqing?"

Sinong Siqing Xu Kai stood up excitedly.

"The minister is here."

"Xishanbo, how many rice seeds do you still have?"

"Come to think of it, it's almost a hundred stones."

"Okay, Xu Kai, you and Xishan Bo will hand over it, this year now in the Huangzhuang try to plant and cultivate rice seeds, Li Junxian, mobilize a hundred horsemen to protect the Huangzhuang, and those who do not have a certain will to approach the Huangzhuang will be killed."

Sinong Siqing Xu Kai and Li Junxian received orders one after another, and finally Li Yong was going to do this, but he didn't tell the truth, he didn't have a hundred stone rice seeds in his hands, just the tens of thousands of acres of farmland in Xishan, and the annual output was enough for everyone in Chang'an City to eat for three years.

"Xishan Bo has meritorious service in offering immortal rice, and he has been awarded the title of Commander and Lieutenant, and Huating County has been given as his fief."

Li Yong didn't expect that his father-in-law actually gave himself the whole Huating County, as for the things in Xinhuating County, Li Er didn't know, but he knew that Li Yong bought a lot of land in Huating County by means, Li Er couldn't understand why Li Yong said so much money to buy a piece of land in Huating County, it stands to reason that where is not good land, so now he simply gave him the entire Huating County, those ministers didn't feel anything when they heard Li Er's reward, but felt that Li Er was stingy, Li Yong's contribution to the entire rice seed is a god seed, Feng Dynasty Lang Jiaxun Xiao Cavalry Lieutenant is a civil and prose official plus a Xun, many people in Huating County know that it is there, and those who know know that it is a small broken fishing village, the land is quite large, but it is not a good field, many people are secretly upset for Li Yong, but Li Yong has already blossomed, it is really a year's plan in spring, my Li Yong's spring is coming.
