Yuan Rui has become a hands-off shopkeeper, the biggest backer, his sister Yuan Qing took over all the chores, and the marriage let him not care about anything, let alone worry about the marriage room, the Yuan family also has a house in the capital.

Yuan Qing really didn't talk nonsense, since his father-in-law arrived in the capital, they have set up a house in the capital, which is also in the inner city, not too big, and they have two small courtyards, usually their brother-in-law lives for a while.

Yuan Qing had an eye on when she bought a house at that time, and her younger brother was going to come to the capital in the future anyway, and it would be cheaper to settle it early.

Therefore, she also placed a place not far from her house three years ago, and the house is really not small, it is a three-entry one, and there is a small garden behind it.

At that time, it cost almost more than 8,000 taels, and the name of Yuan Rui was used, and the money was still from the second son.

Yuan Rui has time now, and during this time, he simply took Dashan and started to work as a technician around the capital.

Yuan Rui had already done one thing, the families of Wei Guogong and Xia Guogong were in the 10,000 hectares of paddy fields near the capital, and this time according to Yuan Rui's plan, the planting of early-season rice had begun, which was also an arrangement that Yuan Rui secretly made.

Beginning in mid-April, he found dozens of old farmers from Jijiazhuang, lived in a tenant village outside the city, and began to help the nearby people cultivate rice seedlings.

This early rice planting in the capital is also an attempt, and if it is done well, it can be fully rolled out in the capital.

In Yangzhou, an attempt has also begun, and all paddy fields in Tonghai have been planted with double-cropping rice, which is required by the court and is also for Yuan Rui's experiment.

So this year is a critical year, do a good job, next year the whole Yangzhou, Tanzhou, Jingzhou, Hangzhou will be in accordance with the current method to plant double cropping rice.

To say what Yuan Rui can do, it is nonsense, from Yuan Rui's heart, he just thinks that things are too cumbersome, he doesn't want to do anything, so he runs outside to be lazy.

Now in the paddy fields of the Xu family, the seedlings have been planted, and there are busy tenant farmers everywhere, and some are gathered in the fields, listening to the old farmers sent by Yuan Rui to teach their experience.

Yuan Rui didn't want to disturb them, so he walked around and looked at the nearby scenery, which was much more relaxed.

The two wandered around for a while, but they were still found by the steward of the Xu family, this is the authentic master, and he is about to be called the county horse, uncle, besides, this is still a new science and technology jinshi, and the Chinese book in the court, he doesn't dare to be sloppy with him.

Yuan Rui said a few polite words to him, and asked him to prepare a little food, find another place, go fishing, and take a good rest.

Now, the steward is happy, this is what he is best at, and it is no problem to serve these.

For two days in a row, Yuan Rui wandered around the territory of Xu's house for more than ten miles, eating vegetables and tofu, fishing, teasing dogs, having a lot of fun, and really resting the fatigue of the previous while.

Yuan Rui is also more concerned about the vegetable fields here, this time he bought grain from Nanyang is not blind, in fact, he also has an idea, if the double cropping rice in the south of the Yangtze River is solved, the grain in Daxia will be self-sufficient.

He thought about taking out some of the dry land and sloping land that was not suitable for growing rice and food crops and planting some vegetables and potatoes.

It is best to be like a few hundred years later, when there are vegetable fields everywhere near the city, so that the people can exchange more economic crops for money, and really solve the problem of food and clothing.

Nowadays, the common people do not dare to use the fields to grow vegetables casually, they can't even eat enough, and it's good not to starve to death.

Yuan Rui also thought that it was breeding, and he did this on the Tonghai side, and the capital could also do it on a large scale, not only raising chickens, but also pigs.

The current people are seriously malnourished, if they can eat meat every day like those people of the foreign domain, their physical fitness will definitely be able to go up a few levels, even if they are against the foreign domain, they will not suffer too much.

Now the breeding over there has been fully formed, chickens, ducks, geese have, not only the common people's homes, many villages have specially encircled waste land, hundreds of thousands of raising, anyway, not afraid of not being able to sell, the Sun family and the Lu family no matter how much, want.

In the palace, the saint suddenly raised his head and asked.

"I heard that the condition of the Duchess of Wei has improved, and now she can go to the ground, what did Yuan Rui's imperial doctor say?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that Yuan Rui didn't prescribe a prescription, but he used liquor, they have been pondering for many days, and they have indeed not seen liquor to reduce fever, and there is wormwood, which is used to repel mosquitoes and disinfect, and I haven't heard of fever."

"These imperial doctors, or Taixin books, what did Yuan Rui do during this time?"

"A few days ago, I met with the prince of the Wang family of Xiangcheng County, chatted a little about Nanyang business, and the prince of Qingyuan County returned to Nanyang to prepare. Yuan Zhongshu has been busy buying a house and getting married for the past two days, but he didn't like it, and later it was his sister who took over the marriage. ”

"It can't be where this stinky boy is going to be lazy again," the saint asked without waiting for him to finish.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Rui is in the courtyard of Xujiazhuang outside the city, saying that he is looking at the early season rice."

"What can he do, he won't go to the field to plant seedlings!"

"Your Majesty, he didn't plant rice, he planted vegetables in the vegetable garden and fished every day."

"Hmph, I know that this kid is lazy, as long as he doesn't care about it for three days, he must be like this."

"Three years, three years, this kid really didn't brag, and by next year, the entire Jiangnan will become a rice warehouse."

"This kid, what kind of grace did you ask for at that time!"

"Your Majesty, speaking of which, the slave admires Yuan Zhongshu very much, you said that he did these few things, which one of them was for personal gain, and he never asked for any reward for his own family, which is much better than many courtiers."

That's all this kid does, indeed, there is not much personal self-interest, not to mention doing business to make money, just for the court to take out the silver is a mountain, to put aside others, which one does not take it home.

The saint thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with a way, this kid doesn't lack anything, and he really hasn't got anything to do.

Be an official, the starting point of the general jinshi is the seventh grade, he used to be the seventh rank cabinet secretary, and it is not good to be promoted again.

Now it's the county lord's marriage, and it's about to get married, so it's the icing on the cake to give something.

Yuan Rui couldn't stay anymore, so he was idle for three or four days, someone came from Beijing, to be precise, the county lord sent someone to come, and there were four words in the letter, come back and get married!

Yuan Rui was confused, what kind of family did he become, isn't it twenty-six, isn't it only the second day of the fifth month today, it's still early.

There was no way, I still couldn't break any wrist, so I could only take a big car and return to the capital on the same day.

On the road, I looked at my custom-made carriage, and suddenly remembered rubber, if Nanyang Rubber came, I should be able to make my own tires.

Don't think about the machinery for the time being, but the tires are not too difficult, and it's easy to think of a way.

Thinking of the car, and then looking at the road, he sighed, having tires does not solve the fundamental problem, and there is the road, the current stone road is only in the city, out of the city is a mud road, not to mention the other, helpless!

Yuan Rui was taken to the new house this time, and as soon as he arrived at the street, he saw a busy scene. The delivery cart lined up at the gate, eating, using, pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches, all of them were new.

Yuan Rui walked into the courtyard leisurely, which was even more outrageous, the yard was full of porcelain, cloth, silk, gold and silverware, and the most eye-catching were those ornaments that looked very valuable.

Yuan Rui was surprised, and he gave his sister 100,000 taels of silver, no matter how you look at these things.

When Yuan Rui saw his sister who was checking the list little by little, he couldn't ask a word.

Yuan Qing has been really busy these days, as Yuan Rui's closest sister, marriage, the most complicated life event, she can only do it herself.

If it is in Jijiazhuang, there is really not so much exquisiteness, and there are not so many requirements, the country folks are just according to the rules.

As a husband's family, prepare the wedding room, notify the guests, and then send the wedding gift in advance, and arrange the wedding banquet on the same day. But in the capital, there are many rules, and marrying the county lord is completely more than N equals.

"Sister, I, I, what can I do," Yuan Rui really felt embarrassed, he gave his sister a flick of his hand about his marriage, and he didn't think about how much trouble it would bring to his sister.

"Stinky boy, what's the matter, I'm sorry," Yuan Qing commanded a few more words, sent the servant out to prepare, and looked at Yuan Rui's somewhat weak expression, and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm happy to see you like this now, my sister is tired, what's it."

"This is the house I prepared before, and now it seems to be a little small, fortunately, the second son of the Guogong Mansion recognized the family on the side, and exchanged it with him in another yard, and now the two courtyards are one, and it is barely possible."

"As for me, when I came, the second brother brought me 200,000 taels of silver, the Xu family sent 200,000 taels, and you gave me 100,000 taels, it's enough to do these things."

"Sister, are we too flamboyant, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver," Yuan Rui hesitated a little.

"If you are in the countryside, a few thousand taels is enough, but in the capital, it is normal to marry the county lord, after all, the family must be well arranged, and dozens of dowries must be prepared, which cannot be saved on the surface."

Yuan Rui was speechless all of a sudden, yes, the dowry alone is dozens of lifts!

Marrying a county lord to enter the door, you can't be too shabby, just those gold and silver utensils, you can't take it without tens of thousands of taels, not to mention some gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade to the county lord, and many valuables are tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Yuan Rui can't say anything now, and sometimes, maintaining the face of both sides is also a big deal.
