Dai Sanchun, who had moved to a small courtyard in the northwest of Xuanwu Lake, had just gotten up in the morning when he was approached at the door.

Hurriedly took a boat to the mansion of the young man Pingzhang, and once again checked the pulse of Liubai and Qingniang, out of caution, the waiter of the medical department of the third grade did not dare to give a hundred percent of the package ticket, but ...... The young lady is ninety out of nine, leaving blank...... There can also be more than eighty percent.

What else is there to say about this?

So, the young man Pingzhang ...... in the mansion This morning, it seems to be very lively.

Zhu Yuan is a rare early riser, or, in fact, he didn't sleep much last night, always thinking, two lifetimes...... Suddenly I'm going to be a father, the problem is, once or twice, eh...... It seems like a sick sentence.

Doesn't matter.

What's next?

It is inevitable to remember that the day before in the palace, I talked to Lao Zhu.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

However, it's really your turn, who can really 'don't worry about your children and grandchildren'?

The first was the rearrangement of the two women's quarters.

With a little thought, it is placed in the backyard of the inner house.

The mansion on Liangzhou Lake, there are a total of five houses on the central axis, the first two belong to the outer courtyard, and the last three belong to the inner house, which is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back, and the last one is ...... Theoretically, it is for the wife to live in.

Zhu Yuan didn't plan to get married.

So, just right.

It was past eight o'clock in the morning.

sent Dai Sanchun away, Qingniang and Liubai were surrounded by maids and servants and hid in their own rooms, as if they were very shy, and Zhu Yuan came to the backyard of the inner house with Freehand and Luoshui.

Standing in the courtyard and looking around, Zhu Yuan ordered: "The main house, all rearranged, the big bed in the east room and the sofa in the west room...... Let's all vacate it and move it to the East Garden...... Over there in the West Chamber. Then, there were seven rooms here, and four bedrooms were cleaned up, with a tea room outside. ”

Zhu Yuan was talking with great interest, and Freehand had already interrupted: "My lord, it's not appropriate." ”

"I know what you think," Zhu Yuan said, "There are some things that I have also told you, so what about ...... The four of you are just a bowl of water, one room for each person in the future, but the two of them are pregnant, so they will live here first, and the two of you will still live in front for the time being. ”

Luo Shui also opened his mouth to persuade: "My lord, the slave thinks that it is enough to clean up the east chamber here, there are five rooms in the east chamber, and Sister Qing and Liubai have two rooms." ”

Zhu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "This is for the little ones to live in the future, you mothers, you can't rob the children's place, right?" ”

The two women fell silent for a moment.

It's not about robbing children or anything like that, it's an unintentional 'mother' by an adult in his own family.

Lady and blank ...... It's almost decided that I'm going to be a mother, the two of them, but there's no shadow yet.

Zhu Yuan said, happened to notice the expressions of the two women, and pulled one by one with a smile: "Don't worry, the coming day will be long...... Actually, I didn't expect it to be so fast, I thought it would be ...... Because of his young age, he will have to wait a few years, who knows. However, it also shows that ...... I'm still pretty good. ”

The two women were taken by the hand, and they both responded gently, blushing.

Zhu Yuan continued to pull them into the main house, turned to the west, thought about it and said: "The outer rooms of the east and west houses will be arranged with sofas later, but forget about this set, we will move to the east garden, and we will design it later." ”

Saying that, he walked into the room: "Things and the like, you can just do it, don't care about what is left and right, a few years ago it was still right and left, these rules are not interesting, the most important thing is for us to live well." Anyway, there are only seven of them here," he said, glancing left and right, and said with a smile, "Or, if you want, I can make a few yards for you in front, one for each person, how about it?" ”

Both women subconsciously shook their heads: "Don't." ”

This mansion ...... It's really not small, and the result is that if you can't get closer to your own adult, even if you have an identity, after a long time, you will inevitably be estranged.

Not to mention the few courtyards on the south side of the garden on both sides, let's talk about the east and west gardens, a group of girls of all sizes, it is not easy to see their adults every day.

The Houmen is as deep as the sea, not to mention the royal mansion.

Seeing that the two girls even shook their heads with some fear, Zhu Yuan smiled and squeezed the two hands on both sides: "Then don't, in fact, I don't want you to be too far away from me." ”

The two girls relaxed, looked at the study room freely, and took the initiative to suggest: "My lord, why don't you move these books to the front?" ”

"Yes."

"And the sofa outside," Luo Shui said: "My lord, since it is a favorite thing, let's move it to the front, don't throw it away in the East Garden." ”

Compared with the freehand suggestion, Luo Shui's words ...... It's a little cautious.

If the big bed and the sofa are moved to the East Garden, it will inevitably be the adults of their own lives...... There have been many times in the past, just in case...... Who knows?

Zhu Yuan pretended not to notice Luo Shui's careful thoughts, and nodded with a smile: "It's okay." ”

After looking left and right like this, a plan was roughly discussed, and Luo Shui went to call someone.

Soon, a large group of maids and servants came here and began to be busy.

Zhu Yuan originally wanted to watch it in person and give some pointers, whether it was Freehand or Luoshui, they were worried that their adults would be bumped into each other, and under Luoshui's signal, Freehand accompanied his adults to leave first.

When they came to the front yard, Qing Niang and Liubai were still hiding in the east room, Zhu Yuan didn't go over for a while, walked to the study on the west side of the main house, found a pen and paper, and discussed with Freehand to start drawing a new sofa suite.

After discussing and discussing, he also remembered, and commanded: "Later...... As for the furniture, try to use the existing ones in the house, or don't make new ones. Well, this sofa ...... Let's take a break, for the time being, we still use the existing solid wood furniture. In addition, other decorations...... Try not to use it either, the more concise the better. ”

Freehand is puzzled, of course, it is clear that it can't be that his own adult is stingy, but he is also curious: "Adult, why?" ”

"A new house and new furniture will inevitably release something that is not so good for the human body," Zhu Yuan said: "We ordinary people are nothing, pregnant women are very sensitive, and if one is not right, something will inevitably go wrong." ”

Regarding decoration pollution, in this era, many things are natural and original, but after all, it is inevitable.

It's like...... Lacquer.

The red lacquer of this era, the best kind, is made with cinnabar.

Under normal circumstances, cinnabar is indeed nothing, but after a long time, and even, after the occasional smoke and fire, it is difficult to say.

In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Zhu Yuan said this, but he also thought of his own adults who had a similar explanation in the past, and he was in Mingzhou at the beginning...... There are houses built here, and people send a list of various materials for review, and some good things specially given by the royal family have been eliminated.

At the moment, the freehand is also quickly understood.

Although...... The deepest part of my heart...... Well, no, how can it be?

Adults are smart.

If you really do something that you shouldn't do, adults are very good at talking on weekdays, but ...... When it's hard to speak, it's hard to speak.

So he simply got up: "My lord, in this case, the slave will personally explain it." Well, there are also Sister Qing and Liubai, this is their own business, and they have to follow to take a look, it's just a little more than a month, and they can't move anywhere. ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Waiting for Freehand to leave, Zhu Yuan was about to bow his head and continue to draw, when he accidentally noticed that a certain Nizi left Cai Sang and Hai Er two girls to serve on the side, and suddenly thought of something.

Inexplicably, I was still a little apprehensive.

After a few glances, he thought about it and said, "Your sister...... Sanniang, go and call over, and ...... Hai'er, you go and call Jiuniang. Well, by the way, there is also Nuan Niang, do you have a class today, if not, call over too. ”

The two girls saw such a series of instructions from their adults, especially ...... Among them, there is a Jiu Niang, whose expression is a little strange.

However, he still said yes and left the house.

Walking out of the gate of the main house, Cai Sang sent hairpins to the east garden, Nuan Niang and Jiu Niang were in the east, and turned to the west garden, ...... in his heart It's a bit complicated, both anticipation and apprehension.

Sister.

In the third, fourth, or fifth of the Wu family, Caisang himself was the first to come to his own adult, although it was ...... I flipped through the "Scientific Parenting Handbook" in private, and I knew that I was not the right age, and my own adults didn't care about them, but ...... Sister......

What a blessing.

Thinking chaotically in his heart, he called out to his sister in the house on the south side of the garden, Wu Siniang, who was originally studying, saw this and also followed.

The three sisters returned to the main courtyard together, and as soon as they entered the house, they heard the sound of humming and chirping in the study.

Wu Sanniang and Wu Siniang didn't know very well, but Cai Sang knew as soon as they heard it that it was the big bearded girl named 'Wutong'.

However, the big man is always like a cat in front of his own adults.

And,Although,It looks like a cat.,Freehand sister They are still very guarded every day.,Because this bearded girl is too big.,And it's a different race.,I'm worried that if I get barbaric and hurt my own adult.,So what can I do?

After the report, I lifted the curtain and came to the inner study, and sure enough, I saw the tall bearded girl kneeling at the feet of the adult, rubbing her head against her own adult.

In addition, Nuan Niang and Jiu Niang, who were also sitting next to her, Jiu Niang was taking Nuan Niang's pulse.

It can be seen that Nuan Niang's face is ...... It's just red.

And, next to a few people, there was another tall woman standing, who was Zhu Erniang.

The news in the mansion spread very quickly, so the women in the house, except for a certain bearded girl, were ...... I already know about the green lady and the blank space.

At the moment, except for Wutong who was still coquettish, other women of all sizes subconsciously held their breath and concentrated when they saw Jiu Niang's pulse.

After a while, Jiu Niang withdrew her hand, looked at her adult, and shook her head: "My lord...... I'm afraid yes, no. ”

“……”

In the study, different women have different reactions, which are so complicated that people can't sort them out.

Zhu Yuan rubbed the fluffy brown hair of the sycamore, and only nodded slightly when he heard the words, but he was actually a little relaxed in his heart, mainly ...... There are a few young women, all of whom have reported to Lao Zhu, and Nuan Niang, if they are also pregnant, things will be a little complicated.

For some unspoken rules of this era, Zhu Yuan is actually clear.

Children who are not born out of the ordinary, ...... at the moment Not to mention what identity is not identified, and even, whether to recognize it or not, it may be a problem.

Because the idea is deeply rooted.

The children of concubines and maids, many times, are similar to concubines and maids.

There are even extremes, in order to maintain their reputation, those who become fathers will even kill their own concubines.

Well......

There is a man named Yang Guang who has done this!

Emperor Yang of Sui was a loser, so some of the things he did were recorded, but it is conceivable that how many were not recorded?

Present.

It's not that Zhu Yuan doesn't want other women around him to have children, the problem is that it's better to be later. When there are a few freehand, the others will follow, and the problem will not be big.

It's like the one in the palace.

Ma gave birth to three sons in one go, and he thought he was invincible, so Lao Zhu's harem was very harmonious, and even his descendants were prosperous.

In addition to Lao Zhu, the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty...... There are very few who can be so blessed.

Zhu Yuan's opinion on this has not changed.

It's not that the emperor can't be born, but it's that the harem is too chaotic.

Extending to his current small home, referring to the palace side, so that there are a few freehand, and he can live a lot in his own house.

The risk of Nuan Niang here was eliminated, and Zhu Yuan motioned to Wu Sanniang on the side: "Come, sit here, and let Jiuniang show you." ”

Wu Sanniang hummed slightly, walked to the position where Nuan Niang got out of the way, sat down, and stretched out her hand......

I couldn't help but tremble a little.

Last time......

But what if?

I have to say that this era is not like hundreds of years later, women don't know so much about many things.

Or......

Not to mention now, hundreds of years from now, in fact, it will be the same.

There are countless stories in the media about school girls giving birth in the toilet in a daze, and many girls are pregnant, but they only think that they have gained weight and the child is about to give birth, and they also think that they just want to go to the toilet.

At that moment, Jiu Niang reached over again.

The atmosphere in the study room was quiet again.

After a while, Jiu Niang withdrew her hand, turned to her own adult, and shook her head again: "My lord, this sister ...... Not really. ”

When Zhu Yuan heard this, his mood was relieved again.

Opposite side...... Wu Sanniang was even more relieved, and the disappointment in her heart made the woman's body shake, and she felt that her nose was a little sour for a moment, but ...... How could he shed tears in front of adults, and besides, he could have this kind of blessing, so he hurriedly restrained himself and lowered his head to cover up.

Seeing Wu Sanniang shaking, Cai Sang on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuan probably understood the woman's mood, so he didn't say anything, but looked at Jiu Niang: "Is her body not very good, can she prescribe some tonics?" ”

Jiuniang hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, this sister ...... The body is superb, and it is also ...... It's also an excellent birth, and it's not good to nourish indiscriminately. ”

After all, Jiuniang had only arrived at the young man's Pingzhang Mansion for a long time, and she didn't know the details of Wu Sanniang, since the adults called them over, she thought that Zhu Yuan also hoped that they could get pregnant, so she would say so now.

Besides, Jiu Niang can still see it...... The one on the side, I'm afraid that he already has a child.

Jiuniang didn't dare to mention this, but she also knew the inner reason.

A certain teenager Pingzhang......

Well.

Let's just say that she herself is 31 years old this year, even if she looks very good, but if it is other wealthy mansions, I am afraid that she still prefers the little girl with cardamom tips to them.

In comparison, a certain rumored teenager Pingzhang, the first time he saw them, he directly clicked on one of them......

Xu's.

Well.

Thinking of the Xu family, and then thinking about the young lady and the Liuniang cut out last night, Jiuniang felt a little weird.

The two women conceived an heir together, which also shows that the young man in front of him, Pingzhang, must be a man with many sons and many blessings.

Now......

The two just now are normal, if that is the Xu family...... Yes, yes, really...... Interesting.

Because, Jiu Niang knows that the Xu family is fine.

After all, they are all from Shuzhong.

Inside the study.

Wu Sanniang was very disappointed that she didn't have a certain blessing, but when she heard Jiu Niang's words, the woman suddenly raised her head again and subconsciously shook her head.

Wu Sanniang doesn't understand anything, but she believes in doctors very much.

This one...... I am a good child...... Actually, actually...... It's not true.

Since the doctor said that he was not suitable for nourishment, of course, he could not make up for it.

Seeing Wu Sanniang shaking her head in a panic, as if she would force her to be nourished, Zhu Yuan smiled and said comfortingly: "Okay, if you don't make it up, you won't make it up...... By the way, Qing Niang is not suitable for the kitchen in the future, I remember that you are a good cook, so you will pay more attention in the future. ”

Wu Sanniang hurriedly nodded again: "Slave, it will be." ”

Cai Sang listened to his sister's response on the side, both happy and helpless.

At this time...... I should have said a few more words, made things more certain, and even asked for the power to be in charge of the kitchen directly from my own adults...... If the words were more flattering, it would not be impossible.

It's a pity that my sister obviously doesn't have this brain.

Zhu Yuan waited for Wu Sanniang to agree, then turned to Nuan Niang, who was waiting on the side, and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, you have been teaching at the Medical University for so long, have you learned a little medical skills?" ”

Nuan Niang didn't know what this was about, but she still shook her head honestly and gently: "Slave...... Never. ”

At the school, she is mainly responsible for teaching children mathematics, not to mention, the girls of the affiliated primary school, although they can also contact some doctors, but, out of suspicion, they nod their heads at most every day.

"What a waste of opportunity," Zhu Yuan muttered, didn't say much, but turned to Jiu Niang again: "What about you, I suddenly found that you are very suitable to teach in the affiliated primary school like Nuan Niang, after all, you are a doctor, and it is more suitable to teach those girls." ”

Jiuniang didn't understand what this was unfolding.

It's only been more than a month to enter this Pingzhang mansion, and most of the time she stays in the East Garden, although she is also in a big yard with Nuan Niang, but the garden is actually not small, and she really hasn't encountered it a few times in her daily life, and she doesn't like to inquire about things, ...... Teaching...... A woman, this ...... How can it be?

Seeing Jiu Niang's puzzled expression and not knowing how to answer, Zhu Yuan smiled and asked, "Who taught you your medical skills?" ”

Jiuniang came back to her senses and said, "My lord, it was taught by the slave mother. ”

Zhu Yuan persevered: "What about your mother's medical skills?" ”

Jiuniang replied carefully: "It's Grandpa Slave." ”

Zhu Yuan: "......"

Well, it's homeschooling.

However, don't they all say that in ancient times, men were passed on but not women?

muttering in his heart, Zhu Yuan said: "Just like Nuan Niang, she is not a person who likes to be restrained, it just so happens that there are female students at the Medical University, so I arranged for her to go there to teach the children." University of Medicine ...... You should know, right? ”

Zhu Yuan's words fell, and Nuan Niang blinked subconsciously.

Don't like to be constrained?

No way?

She's very guarded.

Just remember...... At the beginning, a certain little man said that she should be asked to teach, and she went to teach.

She's a woman who was sent, what else could she do?

On the other side, Jiu Niang shook her head honestly: "My lord, the slave has arrived in Jinling...... January time. ”

Zhu Yuan: "......"

How do you feel that you want to be angry with me and make me sick so that you can treat your family?

Seeing that her adult was speechless for a while, Jiuniang hurriedly said, "My lord, the slave is just ...... Whatever the adults arrange, the slaves do. ”

Zhu Yuan lost interest: "Forget it, it seems that you don't seem to be interested." ”

Jiu Niang nodded cooperatively.

Adults say they are not interested, but they are definitely not interested.

There was still something in front of him, and after ruling out the other two small risks, Zhu Yuan didn't continue, waved his hand and said, "That's it, you all go back." ”

Zhu Yuan spoke, and the women retired one after another.

But Wutong was a little reluctant, and hugged his own adult's waist, rubbing and rubbing...... Give Zhu Yuan the feeling, well, spring is coming, and everything is recovering......

However, it is better to send it away.

I'm not in the mood right now.

When it was quiet here, Zhu Yuan continued to sketch the layout of the left and right sides of the back house, even if he didn't plan to replace the sofa set for the time being, even if he didn't plan to change the sofa set for the time being, he would still make things first.

In addition, it is still being considered...... I'll have to go to the palace later.

This is a big deal, and I must tell Lao Zhu as soon as possible.

However, this side has not yet left, He Xuan has already come to report, and what he said yesterday is good, Xue Shu and Wen Zao have arrived.

I looked for a pocket watch to see the time, and it was not yet half past nine.

I don't come to visit until ten o'clock every day, and I ...... today Since they all get up early, they can be earlier.

Come to the main hall of the outer courtyard.

Xue Shu and Wen Zao were both brought here, and when they saw Zhu Yuan, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

Motioning for the two to sit down, Zhu Yuan came to the top and sat down, without too much politeness, and said directly: "Daiqu Dajie, you two should know, right?" ”

The two nodded together.

Xue Shu's expression was a little heavy, and Wen Zao spoke: "It's a pity that I couldn't meet my subordinates." ”

"This kind of thing, it's still best not to happen," Zhu Yuan shook his head slightly: "A good town has been destroyed." ”

Zhu Yuan said this, and then noticed Xue Shu's expression, Wen Zao quickly restrained some expressions, and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinate has lost his words." ”

"It's nothing, you're a soldier, and when you encounter a war, you should be enthusiastic."

Wen Zao nodded slightly.

The waiter brought the tea over, Zhu Yuan paused for a short time, took the tea and took a sip, and looked at Xue Shu: "About going to Dunhuang, tell me what you think?" ”

Xue Shu said: "The scenery of the border fortress in the account of the Han and Tang Dynasties has been fascinated by the officials for a long time. ”

Zhu Yuan just said, and he was also looking at Xue Shu's reaction, seeing that his expression was sincere, without a little reluctance, he smiled and said, "I didn't ask for your opinion at first, and I was worried that you would not agree." ”

Xue Shu said: "The lower official is just ...... I don't know what to do when I go there, so I came to ask Pingzhang for advice? ”

"Well, however, you arrived early, and the other people haven't arrived yet," Zhu Yuan said, seeing that Xue Shu was puzzled, he said: "What the ancestors mean, let me give a face-to-face lecture to a few of you new heads of various prefectures in Gansu, you came quickly, and the other few, except for Zhuang Muduan, who went directly to Wuwei to take office, have not yet arrived here." ”

Xue Shu said: "When Xia Guan came to the door, he also wanted to talk to Pingzhang and set off as soon as possible." The Gansu locality has been initially decided, and someone should also preside over the situation as soon as possible. ”

"If everyone else thinks like you, then it's fine," Zhu Yuan sighed with emotion: "They probably thought that they were assigned." ”

Xue Shu said: "Xiaguan...... I don't care what other colleagues think. ”

said this, and there was obviously a bit of mockery in his tone.

This temper is still somewhat similar to Liu Lian.

Thinking of a guy who repented and vomited blood, Zhu Yuan didn't mention it much at the moment, and said instead: "Then let's talk about the specifics, Dunhuang Mansion, the previous Shazhou Road, and some more...... Eh, you can do your own research on this, and when it comes to Dunhuang, do you know what the first thing that comes to my mind? ”

Xue Shu shook his head: "The lower officials don't know." ”

"Mogao Grottoes," Zhu Yuan said, thought for a while, and said, "You should think that this is the first thing, there are grottoes in Dunhuang, and there are murals left by the previous dynasty...... Well, you should know that I am preparing to build a museum, just to exhibit and promote our Chinese culture, the Western Regions from the Han Dynasty is my Chinese territory, the Dunhuang Grottoes, although the murals are related to Buddhism, can also be counted as a part of our Chinese culture, not to mention...... I remember, some of the grottoes still have a large number of Buddhist scriptures and other kinds of books, accumulated for thousands of years, if I remember correctly, there are tens of thousands of books, as a reader, you should be able to imagine, tens of thousands of books, to record in how many vicissitudes of life, in short, find them, sort out and protect them, if the conditions are abundant in the future, but also to copy, to avoid all kinds of unique out-of-print lost, understand? ”

About the Dunhuang ancient scrolls, I remember that they were sealed in a grotto, accumulated thousands of years of various documents, fortunately preserved hundreds of years later, tens of thousands of volumes, and then, it was sold to foreigners by a Taoist priest as waste paper.

Something like that, even if it's happened too much, still feels like a wreck to think about.

This time, it was impossible to come again.

Xue Shu didn't know why the young man Pingzhang knew this, but he nodded seriously: "Xiaguan remember." ”

Zhu Yuan was still a little uneasy, and looked at Xue Shu: "You have no prejudice against Buddhism, right?" ”

Xue Shu shook his head seriously: "No." ”

Zhu Yuan thought about it and said: "I just said, those are all part of my Chinese culture, not to mention, the books are far from just scriptures, there are too many other ancient scrolls, such as various precious records about the Silk Road, and even, some of these books are very useful to us now, in short, don't quietly destroy me." ”

Xue Shu became more serious, and his expression became serious: "Pingzhang, please rest assured, Xiaguan will never do such a thing as deliberately destroying books, nor will he allow others to do so." ”

"That's good," Zhu Yuan nodded, believing that although Xue Shu was a flexible person, he would not lie about this kind of thing, and continued: "Then, for you to go to Dunhuang and govern the place, in the next few years, the core of your business is actually two main things, 'trade' and 'tuntian'. ”

Xue Shu said: "Xia Guan thinks that Tuntian may be more important. ”

"There is no order, two things are equally important," Zhu Yuan smiled and said: "Moreover, I still don't know the water and soil conditions in Dunhuang, you must know that if it is suitable for Tuntian, it must be tuntian, but if the environment over there is already very fragile, what we should do is to protect it as much as possible to avoid further deterioration of the environment." ”

Xue Shu thought for a moment and said, "Ru Pingzhang...... Greenery? ”

When he was still in Mingzhou, Xue Shu heard more than once that the young camp envoy at that time had various concepts about protecting the environment, and in order to replant the trees in time after felling, he also deliberately set up a green place, which was not a thing in the past dynasties.

"yes, and...... A few days ago, the ancestors had approved the further establishment of the greening department of the five products," Zhu Yuan said, seeing that the two of them were still puzzled, and thought about it: "Don't think that this is not important, in fact, this is very, very important, and the point of view, I have also said before, we want sustainable development, we can't use up resources in one or two generations, and we don't know how to replenish them, when the time comes, our children and grandchildren ...... But there is no way to continue. ”

The two below, Wen Zao nodded.

Xue Shu nodded, thought about it and said: "Xia Guan reads Pingzhang's "The Science of Economics", which is about the 'cannibalism' statistics of "Zizhi Tongjian...... I have had this tragedy in China for an average of thirty or forty years, and I am ...... In connection with the knowledge that Pingzhang has taught, I think, or it is also related to this 'sustainable development'. ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "It must be related, in the traditional agricultural era, a piece of land, even if you know how to fertilize, but the fertilizer still comes from the land after all, and in the process of circulation, it will continue to be lost." As a result, after a maximum of thirty or forty years, the land will be exhausted. If you want to recover, you have to stop farming for some years. ”

Zhu Yuan said it lightly, but Xue Shu was able to associate more pictures.

In the years when farming was stopped, the land was re-cultivated...... But it's the tens of millions of people!

Thinking so, Xue Shu looked up at a certain young man: "Pingzhang, Xia Guan personally went to visit that guano island...... I also pay attention to the experimental field in the south, if it is as Pingzhang said...... Only some guano islands along the coast, I'm afraid they can't make up for the consumption of land in my Ming Dynasty's tens of millions of hectares of land? ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "This matter is divided into two points, on the one hand, our Daming is near the sea, for various reasons, there is no large-scale guano island, but there are some islands in the open sea, countless years of guano accumulation, enough to be dozens of zhang deep, if it can be mined and transported to my Daming, the amount is still considerable." On the other hand, it is the artificial manufacture of fertilizers by chemical means, which is ...... Again, it will take time. The premise of both aspects is that we must first enter the industrial age. ”

Xue Shu asked: "Pingzhang, this industrial age...... How many years will it take to enter the threshold? ”

Zhu Yuan also thought about it and said: "Maybe you also know that the prototype of the steam engine has been built, and the ancestor plans to demonstrate steam pumping at the future pro-cultivation ceremony." So, next...... If all goes well, a maximum of ten 'three-year plans', and things will be pretty much the same. ”

"Thirty years," Xue Shu remembered the steam engine he saw when he went to the machinery factory yesterday, and at the same time calculated it in his mind, and nodded: "The people of this world ...... I can afford to wait. ”

Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "Then, let's talk about your affairs, when you arrive in Dunhuang, it depends on the situation...... In fact, I personally think that the current water and soil conditions in Dunhuang should be good, but you should also be cautious in organizing Tuntian, and you should not damage the environment too much. where the scale ...... Frankly speaking, I am not close to the front, and I can't handle it, and when the survey team sends back the results, I will plan it properly and send you a letter. ”

Xue Shu nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yuan said: "Then, it is trade, I hope you can provide convenience for our caravans in Dunhuang and take the initiative to promote the development of commerce." The key is to open as far west as possible, and if the Silk Road can be reopened, that would be the best. ”

This time, Xue Shu obviously hesitated: "My lord, the lower official has done it in private. Silk Road...... What we sent to the Western Regions was silk, tea, and ironware, all of which were the best products of our country. However, the only things that can be transported to my Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions are some gold, silver, jade, etc., or some wine, etc., which ...... According to some of the adults' earlier statements, these things are very useless to our Ming Dynasty? ”

"In terms of the type of goods, it is true, we exchange things that can be eaten, worn and used for all kinds of luxury goods, which is fundamentally not cost-effective," Zhu Yuan nodded: "However, to reopen the trade routes in the Western Regions, this matter does not lie in the trade itself at all, but two things, one is its political significance, and the other involves the 'distribution' in the "Economics" that I have not yet completed. ”

Xue Shu nodded: "The so-called 'political significance', the lower officials may be able to understand, this ...... 'distribution', it needs to be solved in a flat chapter?" ”

"You will be confused by the authorities," Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "Just like the current stage of sea trade." ”

As soon as Zhu Yuan said this, Xue Shu suddenly understood.

Xue Shu bowed his head, but Wen Zao was confused.

What are you talking about?

Zhu Yuan made an expression when he saw this, smiled, and said simply: "Among them, on the one hand, there is a word 'tax', which encourages trade, and the imperial court can collect taxes from it, and then use the taxes to build places. On the other hand, when these luxury goods arrive in our country, they are all rich people who spend money on them, and the rich people take out the money to consume, which is actually a kind of distribution...... Well, there are too many truths in it, and I can't explain one or two sentences clearly, you can wait for me to read the 'distribution chapter' of "The Science of Economics" in the future, and you will understand it when you read it. ”

Xue Shu said: "The lower officials are waiting for it. ”

Wen Zao still didn't understand much, but he hurriedly echoed.

Zhu Yuan then chatted with Xue Shu about the details involved in various specific implementations, and after half an hour, he didn't forget to turn to Wen Zao, and said with a smile: "Wen Qianhu, I have been following Master Xue together for the past two days...... Do you also have some thoughts about Gansu? ”

Finally talking about himself, since the young man Pingzhang got straight to the point, Wen Zao didn't beat around the bush, and nodded: "Don't hide it from adults, I am a martial artist, although I know some words, but I am still better at picking up a knife and cutting people." This...... Since I was chosen to send letters between His Majesty and His Excellency, I have benefited a lot in the past year. There is also a group of Liaodong, and the post has gained more knowledge. So I thought, this time...... If you can still go out for a walk, or ...... Or better yet. ”

Zhu Yuan had already read a more detailed record of Wenzao's trip to the Northeast, and after listening to the other party, he said with a smile: "Liaodong and his party, nine deaths and one life." Although Gansu has been included in the territory of our Ming Dynasty, if you go, as a soldier, I am afraid that there is still a place where you should use knives and guns. ”

Wen Zao said with a smile: "The job is the life of licking blood from the knife edge, how can you be afraid?" ”

"In that case...... Zhu Yuan looked at Xue Shu and said, "If you two are willing, you can just partner up?" ”

Of course Wen Zao was willing, but he looked at Xue Shu.

Xue Shu also nodded: "Wen Qianhu dares to go deep into Liaodong, and he is also a hero." If they can work together, they can't ask for it. ”

"Since that's the case, then go to Dunhuang Wei," Zhu Yuan smiled and turned to Wen Zao: "It just so happens that if you are willing to go, I believe that the ancestor will definitely not mind giving you another level or two." ”

Wen Zao is now a thousand households of the fifth grade, and he was responsible for sending letters between himself and Lao Zhu before, plus the merits of going to Liaodong, not to mention the Dunhuang Wei commander who is in place in one step, and he is also promoted to the commander and deputy envoy of the fourth grade, which is not a big problem.

Zhu Yuan said this, with the degree of favor that His Majesty the Emperor has for this person, things are basically nine out of ten.

Wen Zao endured it and didn't get up to salute, but he still straightened his back very formally, and clenched his fists at the young man Pingzhang who was headed.

After saying a few more words, at ten o'clock, he was about to go to the palace, and Zhu Yuan took the initiative to send off the guests.

sent the two away, and Zhu Yuan also quickly went out and rushed to the imperial city.

It is still the east pavilion study on the left of Fengtianmen.

Seeing Lao Zhu, Zhu Yuan, who was hesitant in the end, still talked about Xue Shu and Wenzao first.

Xue Shu has already been determined, hearing that Wen Zao also wants to go to Gansu, this kind of subordinate who takes the initiative to find drudgery, of course Lao Zhu likes it, and after a little consideration, he said: "In this case, let him go to Dunhuang Wei as a deputy commander, heh, that Dunhuang Wei, the establishment is 5,000 people, but it can't be given all for a while, Tang and those 30,000 people, still have to be transferred back." Just give 2,000 people first, let Wen Zao take it, and there will be no command and acquaintance for the time being. If he can make some achievements, he can also be on top of himself in the future. ”

Lao Zhu's arrangement was not only expected by Zhu Yuan, but also a little unexpected.

Upgrading two levels was thought of in advance.

What I didn't expect was that although he was only the deputy commander of the fourth product, he was directly equivalent to the acting commander and became the chief officer of the first guard.

However, there is a precedent for this.

Taicang Wei, who was attacked by Zhao Dingxi last year, was also under the control of only one deputy commander at the beginning.

Because many guards were either initially set up, or the troops were withdrawn, they could not be full for the time being, so there was no need to set up a commander of the three products.

After saying a few words around Gansu in this way, and looking at Lao Zhu's good mood, Zhu Yuan said carefully: "Ancestor, in fact, ...... Coming here today, it's mainly another thing. ”

Lao Zhu, who was browsing a piece of music, looked up and said with a smile: "You ...... Is it a lack of heart, but it is rare, what have you done? ”

"That's right," Zhu Yuan said, "at home...... The ancestor knew that among the four women who were called into the palace to speak by Niangniang before...... There are two of them, pregnant. ”

When Lao Zhu, who had just bowed his head, heard this, he suddenly raised his head again: "I'm pregnant...... That's a good thing......" He paused again, not quite sure: "You just said it...... Two? ”

As he spoke, he was a little suspicious and scrutinizing.

This child, this body...... How can you toss so much?

Zhu Yuan felt Lao Zhu's expression, probably understood what he was thinking, nodded, and took the initiative to explain: "Ancestor, you know me, I didn't expect it...... Only...... It's the green lady and the blank, the green lady is the first month of last year, the blank ...... It was the third day of the first month of last month, and I was very modest, but I didn't expect it to be twice...... Just, just ...... It's all there. ”

Lao Zhu: "......"

However, His Majesty the Emperor quickly thought of the "Scientific Parenting Handbook" of his baby twenty-third grandson, and then thought of the situation of the women around his baby twenty-third grandson, and gradually understood.

Those women, if you remember correctly, are all suitable ages for childbirth.

Let's talk about the twenty-third grandson of his own baby opposite......

The young man said that he was temperate, and Lao Zhu also believed that on the one hand, he asked the imperial doctor, and on the other hand, it was also mentioned in the "Scientific Parenting Handbook", so what...... In quality, not in the frequency.

After thinking it through, his expression became relaxed again, and he smiled: "You ...... It's always a good thing, since they're pregnant, let them take care of it. ”

Zhu Yuan nodded.

There was silence again.

After a while, Lao Zhu opened his mouth, with a little complaint from the elders: "Since that's the case, look at you...... Do you really want to marry a family? ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Ancestor, my body is weak...... Limited energy. ”

Lao Zhu thought about it again and said: "I remember that there is a saying, called 'three wives and four concubines', the three wives don't want to think about it, just set up these four concubines, and when they are given next month, the four of them will be set up as your side concubines, but are you satisfied?" ”

Three wives and four concubines, it doesn't seem to be like this.

However, of course, Zhu Yuan would not correct it, but nodded: "Yuan'er thanked the ancestors." ”

In addition, I wondered if I should get up and make a big bow at this time.

Think about it or give up.

The matter itself is already a bit deviant, no matter how solemn Zhu Yuan is, it will make Lao Zhu feel that he is unwilling to marry because he likes those four women, so ...... It's counterproductive.

Of course, Zhu Yuan is biased.

However, it can't make Lao Zhu feel that he is biased.

This is also about the major events of his life, Zhu Yuan has always shown an attitude to Lao Zhu through various details, probably that is, he doesn't want to marry, mainly out of his own 'selfishness', not anything else.

Because I understand that such an attitude is the best.

In comparison, if he shows a bias, or that sentence, Zhu Yuan himself has nothing, but if he is freehand, he may be angered by Lao Zhu.

Probably ......

You women, you dare to bewitch my family, and you don't even want Ming Media to marry, how can this be reasonable!

Then, things can be serious.

Now, that's fine.

And then there'......

Lao Zhu's side has passed, someone is from the bottom, and he doesn't care so much about his concubine, but Ma's side still has to deal with it carefully.

People in the temple!
