Chapter Seventy-Seven: Someone Told Down
After the wheat and flax were harvested, the sky was beautiful, and it rained all night in Guanzhong.
In the early morning, Yang Chuan limped out of the wooden building, took a few large breaths of moist and cool air, and stretched his waist comfortably, but accidentally pulled the flesh on his body.
Princess Pingyang's 'drill' was simple and rude, so that he couldn't get out of bed for two or three days, and he was so painful that he was being stabbed in his dreams.
It's the fourth day, Yang Chuan listened to the sound of rain all night, no, as soon as the morning dawned, he forcibly let himself get up from the bed, and planned to move his muscles and bones, so he went to the fiefdom to inspect a circle.
Da Mao and Xiao Mao have been running to the depths of the Qinling Mountains recently, which makes Sister Leopard very sad, but there is really no way, the child has grown up, it's time to engage in the object, what can it do as a mother?
Therefore, in the past few days, its temper is very bad, and it will jump on the roof at every turn, and roar a few times at the vast and majestic Qinling Mountains in the distance, which sounds very sad.
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them go," Yang Chuan stroked Sister Leopard's smooth hair and comforted a few words, "Let's go, let's go to the fields and take a look." ”
Sister Leopard thought about it sideways, stuck out her tongue, and licked her furry face a few times: "Meow ......"
……
The fields after the rain are beautiful, with birds chirping, green, fat, red and thin, and often a large field of wildflowers blooming.
Sister Leopard walked in front, her buttocks twisted and twisted, more than once reminiscent of Audrey and Hepburn, Yang Chuan felt that he was hopeless, a young man who was only fourteen years old, and his mind was full of unhealthy content, which was not right.
Yang Chuan carried a hoe, walked and stopped in the field, digging up the wet soil from time to time to observe, which made Cao Xiang very disdainful, and at the same time, he also respected Yang Chuan in his heart.
After all, not everyone can love agriculture, at least, not himself.
"The moisture is very good, this wheat field can also be planted with a crop of millet," standing on a high ridge, Yang Chuan said with great certainty: "It's a pity that such a fat field can't grow wheat on a large scale." ”
Cao Xiang was noncommittal.
For him, anyway, even if the world is so poor that he has to eat, he, the Marquis of Pingyang of the Han Empire, will not worry about eating a mouthful, so he doesn't bother to think about these troublesome problems at all.
Yang Chuan handed the hoe to Cao Xiang: "Go, dig thirty catties of bitter vegetables." ”
Cao Xiang stiffened his neck and muttered and scolded, "Why don't you let the servants dig it?" ”
"Because you are sick, in addition to dietary therapy, you also have to cooperate with an appropriate amount of physical work, and a few stinky sweats can be regarded as detoxification." Yang Chuan said expressionlessly, turned around and walked into the distance.
Cao Xiang was annoyed, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to swallow his anger and go to sarcasm.
Yang Chuan sat by the muddy Weishui for a long time.
Every time before he wants to do something big, he has to spend some time alone, completely relax his mind, and carefully sort out everything in the recent days, which is a good habit.
This time, he wanted to do two big things.
The first thing is to plant a crop of vegetables on his fiefdom, and then, in the winter season, make a lot of money, for Yang Chuan, this matter is just a gesture, basically not difficult.
It was the second thing that made him worried.
He wants to cooperate with Cao Xiang to purify the current green salt and produce high-quality refined salt in large quantities......
Suddenly, Sister Leopard let out a low roar, jumped forward seven or eight steps, and steadily protected Yang Chuan's side, looking coldly at a path in the distance.
Yang Chuan turned his head in astonishment, and saw a fair-skinned man in his thirties, leading a skinny donkey, walking towards this side.
The man was dressed in a black official uniform, with a high crown and high trouser legs, but he showed two barefoot stained with mud and a pair of very tattered straw sandals, which looked a little nondescript.
Yang Chuan is not very familiar with the official position of the Great Han, so he can only guess that this person's official position is not high, and he is almost a small sesame official with a rank of about 600 stones?
In any case, an official who can't even afford to wear a decent pair of boots, where is his official function great?
Therefore, he sat steadily, and had no interest in getting up to say hello.
This is his own fiefdom, without the permission of the master, even if the government comes, he will not dare to make a mistake easily; Moreover, he is now a thirteenth-level mid-level prince, if you simply talk about identity and status, I am afraid that he is much more noble than the person who came......
"You are Yang Chuan?"
The person who came walked more than ten steps in front of Yang Chuan, and arched his hand: "The subordinate official of the Great Agricultural Order, the native of Tianling Sanghong Sheep, has seen the master here." ”
Sang Hong sheep?
Yang Chuan was a little curious in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the visitor a few more times.
In the next few decades, this unattractive guy can be regarded as one of the famous figures in the Han Empire, one of the four ministers of the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che, and the initiator of the state monopoly of salt and iron wine......
"The Great Farmer Order? Nationality Order? Yang Chuan stood up, frowned and asked, "Something?" ”
Sang Hongyang nodded and said, "Someone sued you." ”
Yang Chuan was slightly stunned: "Sue me for what?" Isn't it right? Or is it the wrong percentage of crops to be planted? ”
"Someone accused you of planting grains and vegetables other than millet, millet, beans and mulberry hemp without authorization, and also planted flax, alfalfa, garlic, coriander and other crops of the Hu people in the Western Regions without permission, wasting my Han fertile land in vain."
Sang Hongyang spoke uprightly, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms, shook it open, checked it carefully, and continued: "In addition, there are large mulberry fields in your fiefdom, why don't you engage in silk breeding?" Moreover, you destroyed fertile land and excavated fish ponds without authorization, which is also not in accordance with the laws and regulations of the imperial court.
Finally, someone has sued Ling for slaughtering cattle many times without permission, do you have a defense? ”
Yang Chuan opened his mouth and stammered for a while, but he didn't say a word.
He thinks he is law-abiding, and when it comes to the court laws and regulations in farming, he will act very strictly in accordance with the rules.
What especially depressed him was the two things of 'digging fish ponds without authorization' and 'slaughtering cattle many times without permission', which were all done by Princess Pingyang, but now these two cauldrons are asking him to carry them......
"Who did it?" Yang Chuan held back his anger and asked with a cold face.
Sang Hongyang shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about it, you just need to tell the truth about whether these things are true or not." ”
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you tell me or not, I'll check them one by one anyway."
Yang Chuan took a deep breath and held it for a while before he slowly spit it out and said indifferently: "If it's all true, what crime should I be guilty of?" ”
Sang Hongyang said expressionlessly: "If all is true, you may be fined five hundred catties, and you must report to the imperial court and cut off your title as appropriate; Of course, if you don't pay the fine, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion for a year and a half, and then be assigned to the border as a prisoner. ”
Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and said quietly: "Then please check." ”
