After the Double Ninth Festival, the autumn harvest fruits from all over the country arrived in Beijing.

The seventh year of Yuan You seems to be more like a prosperous era than the Zhaowu period, and the grain production of Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan alone is enough to feed half of the people of Daxia, which does not count the harvest of Shu and Jiangnan as the granary of the national dynasty.

Lin Ruhai didn't even have time to go home, and his busy feet didn't touch the ground. Lin Tanhua, who has always paid attention to grooming, even participated in a big court meeting in late September with her eyes covered with red silk and a hair on her head.

That kind of haggard but crazy appearance was so appalling that the emperor called the imperial doctor directly in court, and learned that he had not rested well for more than 20 days, and his body was very empty, so he immediately strictly ordered him to temporarily put down the work at hand and go home to recuperate.

Potatoes were enough to be grown throughout the country, but the household department accepted Jia Cong's suggestion and only planted potatoes in arid areas and poor soil in the north, while rice and other old grains were still grown in the rest of the grain-producing areas.

On the contrary, corn is a grain with high yield, short maturity period, and easy storage, which has been popularized on a large scale this autumn, especially in Juntun in Liaodong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Hexi, and half of the fields have been planted with corn.

This thing was born for the army, and not only was the corn edible, but the straw could also be used as fodder to feed the horses.

The changes brought about by the bumper grain harvest can be seen with the naked eye, and at this time of the year, the provinces in the north sent all the twists and turns to ask for money and grain to prepare for the winter snow disaster.

However, judging from the news from the Gyeonggi state capitals, it is enough to rely on the reserves of the prefecture and county grain depots to cope with the possible snowstorm and grain shortage this winter.

The Book of Songs contains, the fire flows in July, and the clothes are given in September.

In October, wear a cotton jacket, eat bean soup, and keep out the cold. On the first day of the new year, the Son of Heaven announced to the common people with the ceremony of wearing winter clothes: Winter has come.

The emperor gave the gift of "giving clothes", and made hot soup from the freshly harvested red beans and glutinous rice to the ministers to taste new.

After Jia Cong returned home from the palace to participate in the Great Dynasty, he took Daiyu out of Beijing to the east, went to the Great Bao'en Temple to pray for his relatives, and burned clothes for his deceased relatives.

Even the clouds and the grass, the evening shines all day, and the mountains are red.

The west wind is shaking, and the creek is whimpering.

Yan went to Honggui and refused to hear it.

Ask the yellow flower, and who folds it.

The most worrying place for recruiting people is the season of sending winter clothes.

Incense and prayer, add lamp oil to the lantern in front of the tablet of the deceased, and after burning the clothes, Jia Cong accompanied Daiyu to visit the Dabao'en Temple in autumn.

The autumn breeze and red leaves, the red maple forest outside the glazed tower has a pleasant scenery, which washes away the longing and sorrow that has just poured into my heart.

The two were about to go up to the tower to look into the distance, but before they got closer, they saw a yellow and white gold gradient with a flower arm tattoo running from afar, and they immediately knocked down Jia Cong.

"How much do you have in your heart? If you want to crush my ......, shut your mouth and don't lick it!! ”

Jia Cong finally broke the fluffy brain melon that came over, and Daiyu next to him was hugging a little person and watching himself and the big cat rolling on the ground.

"Chun'er, why did you get out of the palace? Also with the general. ”

"I'm here with my daddy, and the big cat is with me."

Chun'er gave Jia Cong a sweet smile, and the big cat rubbed Jia Cong's chest with his brain, and arched Jia Cong, who was finally struggling to get up, again.

"Whew~"

"Don't shout, don't shout, I didn't bring jerky!"

The cat was getting heavier and heavier, Jia Cong struggled several times, and finally lay flat under the red maple with the "help" of the two girls, allowing the big cat and the two girls to "ravage".

The three of them played with a cat for a while, and the big eunuch Xia Shouzhong helped Jia Cong to get up, saying that the emperor was invited, so they all entered the tower and went straight to the top floor to meet him.

"The minister (daughter) greets His Majesty (father)~"

"Woohoo, whoop~"

The emperor is dressed like a rich and nobleman, and he is looking at the distance by the railing. Chong Jia Cong waved his hand casually and said that he didn't need to be polite, but he was very kind to Daiyu.

I asked people to bring refreshments, and I asked how the weather was getting cooler and how my body was.

The glazed pagoda is divided into nine layers and eight sides, up to 27 zhang. There are eight iron cables in the body of the tower, seventy-two vertical bells, eighty vertical iron bells, one hundred and twenty-eight lamps outside the tower body, twelve glass lamps, the tower window is clearly thinned with mussel shells, it is very spectacular.

Looking west at the capital, you can see the majesty of the city, and you can also see an endless stream of pilgrims coming along the official road. There are quite fireworks on both sides of the main road outside the temple, and there are hawkers shuttling among pilgrims from a distance, selling things.

The emperor likes this scene very much, and he is very proud of his condescending and peaceful rule from a distance.

It is said that Zhao Wunian is a martial artist, and I am better than Yuan You.

Isn't it the credit of the emperor that the people can have spare money to come to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and to be able to take their children to the market?

The people are rich and the country is strong, and the grace of the Son of Heaven is also!

The emperor was in a good mood, and talked with Jia Cong about the south for a while, and said that he would take the three of them to the banquet, Shi Shiran got down the glazed pagoda, and bought a small box of snacks for each of the three of them when he left.

Originally, Jia Cong and Daiyu set up a vegetarian meal in Dabao'en Temple, but the banquet in the emperor's mouth made the two look forward to it.

I don't know who it was that was able to invite the Great Xia Supreme out of the palace for a banquet.

When he arrived at the place, Jia Cong understood why the emperor would leave the palace despite being spit on by the imperial history.

There is an imperial village not far from Dabao'en Temple, the carriage and horses stopped outside the village, Jia Cong heard the laughter in the village as soon as he got off the carriage.

The steward of the village and several old men with gray temples had already received the news and were waiting at the intersection of the village.

"The old slave greets the emperor, bow to Wan'an!"

"The last general will meet the fourth master, long live, long live, long live!"

These old men still looked old and weak, and when they met the emperor, their voices were immediately loud and energetic.

Especially when he looks at himself, his eyes are sharp, giving people the feeling that he is a sharp blade hidden in a sheath, and then he can burst out with a fatal blow.

These people should be the ones in the army, and they are definitely the kind of one who is ten.

"Get up and get up, I haven't seen you for years, and it is a happy event for you and me to be reunited today, and there is no need to be polite, not to be polite."

The emperor helped up a few people one by one and patted the steward's shoulder: "Old Qin, Lao Pei, Old Shen...... are you okay in Zhuangzi?" I'm here to take the children to eat today, have you made the mat? ”

"Hahaha, where did the fourth master say, if it weren't for the kindness of the fourth master back then, I'm afraid that we old things would have followed His Highness a long time ago......"

Qin Da, who was the leader, looked at Jia Cong and the three of them thoughtfully.

While welcoming the emperor inside, he looked at Jia Cong carefully: "Fourth master, if the last general is not mistaken, this son should be the son of the little grandfather." ”

The emperor grabbed Jia Cong's neck: "Don't hurry up and come over to see you, these are your father's masters, you have to call your master!" ”

Yes?

Master?

Thinking that the emperor would not lie to him, Jia Cong hurriedly bowed to several old people and said, "Apprentice grandson Jia Cong, meet the master!" ”

"The little boy is very polite, I just taught the little grandfather a few days back then, and I don't deserve the title of master."

Qin Da helped Jia Cong up, and sighed: "The little boy is very much like the little grandfather, with this appearance, I don't know how many women will be unable to sleep at night." I want the little grandfather to invite a few of us old goods to Nanchi Flower Building, and those oiran ladies can't wait to pounce on the little grandfather......"

Ahem~

The emperor coughed lightly a few times to interrupt the old man's words, and Xia Shouzhong quietly reminded him that there were still two princesses on his side, and the secret between the Mo Dao men ......

……

There are mostly old and weak women and children in Zhuangzi, but the layout in it obviously uses the method of the army, and the houses and courtyards are like arranging troops, which are suitable for both offense and defense.

Whether it is the arrangement of Zhuangzi and the composition of the members, Jia Cong is full of doubts. A lot of information was revealed between the words of the emperor and Qin Da, and Jia Cong had roughly guessed what the people in this Zhuangzi were from, but he was even more confused.

When everyone entered the most central courtyard of the Zhuangzi, the emperor told Jia Cong and Daiyu about the origin of the Zhuangzi.

It turned out that the people who lived here were the former ministers of the East Palace of the first prince Liu Sui, and when Liu Sui was in front of the palace gate, the old ministers of the East Palace were liquidated.

Qin Da and several people are confidants of the East Palace, so they are naturally regarded as thorns in the flesh by the prince who seized the heir.

At that time, the emperor who was still the Prince of Cold Noodles quietly sent someone to rescue a few people and placed them in the palace courtyard.

It's not that the emperor had the idea of fighting the remnants of the East Palace in the first place, but the eldest sister-in-law sent him a secret letter and begged him.

What did Emperor Liu Heng say?

It is like a storm for the enemy, and it is heart-digging for those close to him.

When the eldest brother and sister-in-law were there, they were quite concerned about his unfavored younger brother. After getting the handwritten letter from the eldest sister-in-law who had been martyred by hanging, the fourth master did not hesitate at all, and at the risk of annoying his father, he quietly rescued Qin Da and a few people and hid them outside the city.

This collection was several years, and it wasn't until three years ago that the relationship between him and the old man eased, and then there was this Zhuangzi, so that Qin Da and several people had a place to retire.

Of course, these things that Liu Heng did were actually discovered by the old man a long time ago. The old man was already sober when the eldest son killed himself, and he knew that he was being calculated by someone with a heart, how could he not regret it?

But now that the fourth child has already made a move, he will wait and see what happens, wanting to see if those who are calculating themselves will make another move on the fourth child......

As for the emperor bringing Jia Cong here today, it was actually a temporary idea.

First, he wanted to show off to the eldest brother's group of old ministers, his emperor was no worse than the eldest brother, and Yuan You was stronger than Zhaowu.

The second is to invite this group of killers out of the mountain and give Jia Yu, who is thousands of miles away, a hand.

Don't look at this group of old people who look drooping and old, in fact, each of them can cook a pot of rice for a meal, and roll up their sleeves to overturn a cow.

Moreover, Qin Da and the others have also brought out more than a dozen boys in recent years, each of whom is a first-class talent.

Learn to write and martial arts, and the goods are in the emperor's house. Seeing that the prince is already able to take charge on his own, he should also arrange some available talents for his son.

As for saying that these people are the old ministers of the eldest brother......

Except for me, who can inherit the ambition of the eldest brother and make the people of Daxia rich and strong, and mighty and powerful?

The emperor did not mention the matter directly, but inquired about the situation in the Zhuangzi.

Knowing that this autumn had a bumper harvest of potatoes and corn, the poor man who had gathered finally no longer had to starve and freeze, laughed proudly.

"The old have something to rely on, the young have something to support, and I am very heartbroken. Lao Qin, the people in the Zhuangzi are all widows of old brothers, and it is not easy for me to come forward directly, so you should worry more about it, don't let them be wronged. ”

Qin Da arched his hand and responded: "Fourth Master rest assured, the Fourth Master has secretly taken care of him all these years, and everyone is doing well." Especially this year, with the holy grace of the fourth master, with gods such as potatoes and corn, three meals a day, better than back then, three meals a day, and meat for a meal! ”

The smile on the emperor's face was even bigger when he heard this, three meals a day, and meat at a meal, don't look at this It seems to be very simple, in fact, there are very few people who can live this kind of life in the entire Great Xia.

It is already a prosperous situation for ordinary people to be able to fill their stomachs twice a day, let alone meat.

He waved his hand at Jia Cong and said, "You take Yu'er and Chun'er out to play, I have something to tell Lao Qin." ”

After Jia Cong and the others went out, the emperor got down to business.

"Old Qin, do you still remember why the eldest brother's heart changed suddenly and finally caused trouble? Hibiscus paste reappeared, and Jaenhou found a large piece of hibiscus paste in South Vietnam......"

……

Most of the people in Zhuangzi are old and weak, women and children, and there are very few young people.

Jia Cong's three people and one cat wandered around leisurely in the company of Zhang Qian, and the dolls in the Zhuangzi stood in the distance, secretly looking at Jia Cong...... The big cat next to him.

Zhang Qian explained to the three of them: "Her Royal Highness the princess, uncle, these children are either orphans of the old ministers of the East Palace, or children of heroes in the army. The emperor ordered the old slaves to secretly take care of them, and the generals of Qin taught them martial arts, so as to inherit their father's will and be loyal to the country. ”

"I see, Your Majesty loves the people like sons, pities orphans and widows, and these people are orphans of martyrs, so they should take good care of them."

Jia Cong beckoned to the child in the distance, slowly arousing it. It's all children in the end, and who can refuse a fluffy creature like a big cat.

Whew~

Syllable!

As soon as the big cat was optimistic about a large group of excrement shovelers, he suddenly wanted to pose with the majesty of the tiger and set his position, but he was knocked out of his head by Jia Cong as soon as he whimpered.

One of the children in this group was about ten years old, and he had the courage to look at Jia Cong secretly: "Is this a tiger?" ”

"Big cat, it's mine!"

Chun'er thought that someone was going to rob her big cat, so she immediately hugged the big cat's neck and declared her sovereignty.

Jia Cong rubbed Chun'er's brain melon funny: "Well, the big cat is Chun'er's, and no one robs it." ”

Then he turned his head and asked, "What's your name?" ”

I saw that the young man arched his hand and said, "Back to the nobleman, my name is Qin Shizhong." ”

"Uncle, he is the grandson of General Qin."

Zhang Qian took the opportunity to introduce the group of children: "This is the county uncle of Yongfeng who cultivated potatoes and corn, and these two are Princess Wen'an and Her Royal Highness Princess Chun. ”

"Wow, it's Uncle Potato!"

"It's not Uncle Potato, it's Uncle Yongfeng."

"Potatoes that grow potatoes and corn are not ...... Yongfeng Bo? ”

"The Yongfeng Bo who defeated the 100,000 Tartars?"

These dolls are all cubs of a martial family, and after knowing Jia Cong's identity, they immediately focused a bundle of adoring eyes on Jia Cong's body, but Jia Cong made a big red face.

Daiyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Jia Cong would be shy.

The little girls who came with this group of teenagers timidly secretly looked at the two noble girls, and when they saw Daiyu looking at them, they all lowered their heads in fright, and some of the timid children wanted to hide themselves.

After Daiyu whispered a few words to Zhang Qian, she said in Jia Cong's ear: "I'll take Chun'er to see the women and children in the Zhuangzi, you can talk to them first." ”

Jia Cong didn't ask Daiyu's plans, nodded and gave Zhang Qian a few words, and then walked with the group of teenagers to the school field in front.

Sister Lin is not his vassal, she has great ambitions, the women and children in this Zhuangzi are all widows of martyrs, maybe Sister Lin is not only going to condole, but I guess I thought of something, I need to do some actual investigation.

……

This Zhuangzi is not an ordinary Zhuangzi, not only the layout of the houses is arranged according to the formation of the army, but also a large-scale school field is set up in the Zhuangzi.

Bang, bang, bang......

The feather arrows without arrows flew towards the arrow target twenty steps away, and the results of seven or eight out of ten made Jia Cong staggered.

Qin Shizhong didn't need to say that it was normal to be able to do this level, but it was a little shocking that at least seven or eight of the children in this group could shoot five or six arrows.

You must know that the poor are rich and martial, according to Zhang Qian's previous introduction, most of these children have only been in Zhuangzi for a long time, and they haven't had enough to eat earlier.

At least when the Metropolitan Governor's Office assesses the children of the nobles every year, the results are really unbearable many times, and it is too embarrassing.

There were no war horses in Zhuangzi, and Jia Cong could not assess the riding and shooting of this group of children. He let the children drill the military formation again, beat Taizu Changquan, and probably guessed a few points about the reason why the emperor paid attention to this Zhuangzi.

Eating the emperor's food and working hard for the emperor is probably the idea that this group of children will instill from an early age.

Compared with martial arts, I am afraid that the emperor will believe in this Zhuangzi's child more.

After some investigation, Jia Cong saw the potential of this group of children.

Qin Da and the others are completely in accordance with the law of the army to cultivate the children on Zhuangzi, day and night, the three of them can form a formation, cooperate with each other tacitly, enough to fight against the most elite wolf riders on the grassland.

At the end of the exercise, Jia Cong asked people to bring snacks and tea, and a group of people sat in a circle, listening to Jia Cong's story of killing Tartars.

"Uncle, do Tartars really eat people?"

"Uncle, when will I be able to kill the Tartars like you?"

"Uncle, I also want to kill the Tartars!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too, I'm going to kill the Tartars too!"

Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars......

Quack......

The story was only one section over, and Jia Cong was buzzing with the Tartars one after another.

is worthy of being a small killer cultivated by the old killer professor, and Douding yells to kill the Tartar when he is a little bigger.

Jia Cong rubbed the brain of the little killer next to him, and said in a frightened voice: "Tartars are all eight feet tall and can run horses on their arms. They like to eat small children the most, one bite at a time! If you want to kill the Tartars, then you must eat well and practice your martial arts well, so that you can defeat them on the battlefield in the future! ”

Wow~

Not only were these little killers not afraid, but they just exclaimed, and then slapped their chests one by one.

"Then I want to grow nine feet long and practice martial arts to kill Tartars!"

"You're only nine feet, I'm going to be ten feet long!"

"Eleven feet!"

……

The emperor only said about the cultivation of hibiscus paste in South Vietnam, which immediately aroused the anger of Qin Da and several people.

Knowing that the Marquis of Rongguo Jia Yu lacked manpower, he immediately patted his chest and swore that if he did not send the Nanyue monarchs and ministers down to the prince as cattle and horses, they would never return to Beijing.

By the way, the Beijing Mansion was also the one who contributed to the troubles at the beginning, and it was not a good thing to dissolve this yin person. Since he was still a prisoner in South Vietnam, let's send it down together.
