In the past, Huo Yunqian never felt that Lu Yan had low emotional intelligence and a straight temperament.

Today, he is a teacher.

Because after he said a word, Lu Yan was afraid that he would not believe this public opinion, so he retold him what she had heard outside.

It is said that it is not only the wasteland that is repaid to the families of military service, but the number of people who sign up for the army is increasing day by day.

The main thing is that he shouted to the Zhenbei Army in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and combined with the act of reissuing the wasteland, it shows that he is indeed a master general who does what he says, which is more convincing:

"Have you forgotten? You said that there is no New Year blessing in your place, there is only one sentence, that is, the aftermath of all the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, there is you Huo Yunqian. Where is the general's Zhenbei Army?! ”

Huo Yunqian looked at the female general in front of him, and he still learned his expression at that time.

At this time, Lu Yan nodded affirmatively: "The female guard under the lowly rank has just returned from running errands outside, and I heard that your section has also spread to the streets and alleys of Fucheng." She said that even the teahouse and restaurant match your tone and appearance, and talk about your golden scales, and your momentum is even more ......."

Huo Yunqian had to wave his hand to stop it, he was afraid that he would hear something that would make him inexplicably ashamed.

"I see, you go down first."

At present, Huo Yunqian has no plan for the time being, and recruits a large number of troops.

In that way, presumably the imperial court will say that he supports the army and is self-respecting. He'd better stop for a while, and don't make trouble for his brother who stayed in Beijing for the time being.

Because some time ago, as soon as the decree on the reissue of wasteland to the families of military service was issued, I heard that there were two factions in the court.

Some officials impeached him.

But for the sake of the fig leaf on the emperor's face, he can't say it directly, in order to solve the deficit of the national treasury, he thought for the emperor and was anxious about the emperor's urgency, and he did not do it right to reissue the land to the people for the relief of the land.

can only reprimand him for supporting the army and respecting himself, and taking the imperial land of the country first and then playing. There are also people who call Huo Jiajun, and this will only be more supportive, implying that his heart is punishable.

Just like what the military advisors and generals analyzed before he gave the order, those officials in the court said it.

The other faction of courtiers wanted to take advantage of him to reform the issue of reducing the fiefdom of the emperor's relatives and relatives that had been mentioned several times.

Because the ancestors of this dynasty are very good to future generations, they will distribute a lot of private land that does not need to be taxed as living expenses for each birth.

Over time, Kaizu didn't expect his descendants to be so born.

Huo Yunqian remembered that when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had heard that the king of Qingcheng in the south had more than 100 sons alone, and we don't know if someone helped him, how could he be born like this. Some princes even have dozens of concubines and concubines, which is a normal number.

And every royal relative gives birth to every descendant, and it takes more than a dozen ......

Huo Yunqian paused for a moment, saying that food and clothing are not accurate, to be precise, it is necessary for more than a dozen families like Xu Tianxin to take out all their savings in order to support a son or daughter among the emperor's relatives.

It is conceivable that if one is born, more than ten "Xu Tianxin's families" will go bankrupt, and more than ten households will go bankrupt.

At present, there are tens of thousands of relatives and relatives of the emperor, and the fiefs of these people are not taxed.

Therefore, above the court, compared to the officials who can be called loyal ministers, they are very complaining, after all, raising a pig can also kill and eat meat, which raises tens of thousands of imperial relatives, what is the use of those people except eating and taking, and some imperial relatives even exploit the people in the local area.

These officials wanted to take advantage of the fact that he distributed wasteland to the people, and warned that they could no longer continue to divide the land according to the ancestral scriptures.

Huo Yunqian had two letters in his hand, one was a secret letter from his brother. The other is a letter from a friend of Shaoqing in Dali Temple.

In the letter, his friend informed him that at the imperial court, Tobe Shangshu took out a gift again, and he was going to give it away, saying that he wanted to give it to the Imperial History who impeached General Zhenbei. Let Lord Goshi scratch the itchy position, this can relieve the itch.

It is implied that what should be advised is to reduce the fiefdom of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and not to calculate the little compensation fief given to the people, why is it so reluctant to give it to the people? Do you still deserve to wear that official uniform, this is called solving the deficit of the treasury from the root.

He also said, "Don't keep scratching, scratching, or bleeding in areas that don't itch."

alluding to don't force generations of loyalty, so many Kyushu generals stationed outside are watching.

After all, if the Huo family, who has made great achievements in war for generations and is loved by the people, has never married the royal family, has no suspicion of relatives, and has to bear everything else: the suspicion of the emperor, the suppression of civil officials, the impeachment of the imperial history, the hostility of the emperor's relatives and relatives, the supervision of the Jinyi Guard, and all these are brought to the surface, then other generals will also be cold.

They will wonder if their exploits will become their own talismans. Who are you trying to force against?

In the end, the emperor ended with mud.

After reading his friend's letter, Huo Yunqian felt that Master Wei, the head of the household book, should publish a book, which must be a bestseller, and it would be called "The Years I Scolded".

Therefore, Huo Yunqian planned to keep a low profile for a while and not recruit a large number of troops.

However, he can find work for these people who want to join the army.

Building temples, cleaning up rivers, and building shops and houses are all small tasks.

You can pick some good ones, set up a caravan to transport the three treasures of the north and the south, and if you can go to the sea and go up to the dangerous peak, you can set aside a piece of land to practice first.

This is the person who will lead the way......

Shi'an didn't understand a little, how could the young master cross out all the names of the people who were written, and suddenly sighed, who did he think of?

It can be seen that what is most lacking here in the north is talents, everything has recovered, and even Jiubao has been transferred to the mountain col to mine.

Yes, everything is recovering, since the return of the old Xu family from the border, plus the whole of March, it has been very busy until the beginning of April.

The first thing Mrs. Xu did when she returned was to be invited by Tian Qingwen's family to be a guest.

Her granddaughter kept being touched by the Tian family's daughters, and she took the opportunity to buy duck eggs.

And the grandparents and grandchildren really locked themselves in the warehouse of Lao Tian's house, first pre-sold to the family, which duck egg do you want, which one you look big, grandma will draw a symbol on which duck egg, and let you look at it whether it is washed or pickled.

And the second thing is to find red clay, Mrs. Xu wants to sell the spiced salted duck eggs marinated in red mud, which is delicious, or we won't sell it.

The grandfather and grandson drove the ox cart to the village with saline land, which was the only place where there was red soil.

Unexpectedly, a small episode happened, that is, when Mrs. Xu entered the village and wanted to ask the main family in the village how to go, and introduced herself as the Xu family of Erdaohe, she was grabbed and said: "Emma, it's her!" ”

The people in the village who had been compensated for the wasteland all popped up, as if they were very excited.

But when they really saw Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin, they slowly stopped their pace, they hesitated, and looked at Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin from a long distance.

It wasn't until an old man took the lead in shouting in an old voice: "Thank you", that the others followed suit, and they were too far away to be a little inaudible.

Mrs. Xu sighed: "Hey, scare me!" ”

When the village came, Mrs. Xu said that she would turn around and take a look at the road, and wanted to take half a cart of red soil back, and she might come to pull some soil if she didn't turn back enough.

Then two days later, something miraculous happened, and the old lady opened the door and almost tripped over the red clay bag.

And there is not only red soil, I don't know who gave it without leaving a name, but also put half a basket of small garlic newly grown in spring at the door, and store sweet potatoes that are reluctant to eat in winter.

Later, there were all kinds of messy things such as radishes, cabbage, and loaches at the door of Xu's house.

Even Erdaohe's sons-in-law came back and helped the families in the village carry vegetables to the Xu family, saying that it was the heart of the villagers.

Because as the officials went to various places to measure the land, they told them not to burn the mountains when they were released to the wasteland. While telling how the wasteland was obtained and who led it in the first place.

On that day, when I received the red clay for the first time, the old lady sat on the red clay bag and looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time.

You have a field of pensions, and it has also helped many struggling families, and there are more fields to cultivate, why are you so proud.

Although she bought ducks with all the 150 taels of silver she earned, she was busy in vain, but now she must have Xu and her family don't need to bring dry food to other villages, and they can really deal with anyone who goes to their house, as long as you say that it is the Xu family of Erdaohe.

Even if something happens outside, in this part of the Northland, you can't be prepared to meet a lot of nobles who can't be named.

That's it.

The old lady thought to herself: She still has to go outside to be modest, her daughter-in-law wants to tell her lines, she doesn't ask and knows it, it must be: "What several teams do together, everyone is complete, how can you only remember the Xu family?" "She understands, she understands, and she can understand modestly.

Therefore, Mrs. Xu pickled the most traditional red mud salted duck eggs without leaving home, and also used Sichuan pepper, licorice, tangerine peel, star anise, and bay leaves to marinate five spices.

When Mrs. Xu was busy pickling duck eggs, Xu Tianxin was increasing the process of making glycerin.

Then in the middle of March, when the Xu family was not at home to deliver goods and take mushroom seeds, they arranged the affairs of the family, and quietly went to Liu Laozhu's younger brother to borrow two donkey carts, loaded the ground ballast, and set off with a jar of salted duck eggs.

In order to prevent the rest of the Xu family, such as the birds, from worrying, such as the Huzi and the village boys who were full of tables, they had to follow, so they left Lao Zhai with a letter and a message to leave.

Said only in the north here around, very safe, to go to Lei Jiawo to order some goods, and then by the way where to sell some goods, this short trip, a few days to come back.

But until the Xu family came back after delivering the goods, the old lady and Yu Qinniang, and the table were also busy raising seedlings in the house, and there was no place to live on the kang, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin did not come back.

It wasn't until late March that all the families and shops in the village wanted to take advantage of the lack of guests to plane the thatched toilets and collect manure, and the town officials came to Xu's house to help convey a word, saying that they had met Mrs. Xu when they were surveying wasteland in other villages.

At that time, Aunt Xu was wrapping a cloth on her head, eating ginger slices soaked in forest frog oil given by the villagers, and she looked very rich. Zhang Luo also wants to take a small basket to dig up his mother-in-law, which roughly means that their mother and eldest niece are fine outside, and they will return in two days.

At that time, Xu Youyin was jumping under the thatched house to dig his own dung.

Because no matter what kind of manure is, it must be fermented before it can be used to fertilize the land.

Like last year's dung, which was buried in snow, it needs to be dug up and prepared for a dip this season.

In addition, this year's ones must be cleaned out, and then wood chips, hay, grass and wood ash are added, straw is crushed and mixed, and the soil is sealed for a few days, it will be steaming, and it will be sprinkled in the ground after several turnovers.

It's called a stinking one.

Xu Youyin stood under the thatched building, looked at his body of dung, and imagined that he would have to go to the wasteland to remove the roots of the tree after digging the dung.

At this time, Mrs. Xu was at the foot of the Lei family's nest, and said live with joy:

"Good things have to be shared, and good things have to be grabbed.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the live broadcast room.

Grandma and you tell you the truth, our first batch of big ballast and salted duck eggs are left, the last batch of goods, you look at the red mud pickled duck eggs are jujube red skin, three yuan a big one, it is really not expensive.

You can taste it, and you'll know that it's not the same as the eggs laid by the ducks that you bought for dozens of days. ”

As for whether to lose weight or not by drinking big porridge, Mrs. Xu asked Xu Tianxin to go on the scale:

"She fell, my granddaughter drank a day of porridge for you yesterday, and Lei Li was inviting her to eat meat, but she didn't eat it, and she lost two catties to tell the truth. As for whether it can raise blood sugar or not, can you lose weight. No matter how coarse it is, it's also called porridge, so I don't dare to say it. Everyone's physique is different. ”

However, Mrs. Xu will persuade:

"Do you have to lose weight to buy it? Grandma suggested that especially if you live alone, you don't know what to eat, just buy some of it and cook it, and then pick up a duck egg that is not very salty with a bite of direct oil, and cut a small plate of cooked meat to eat.

What do you cook by yourself? It's not always delicious. It's good to eat hot porridge in the morning and go to work, or lie on the sofa and watch TV after eating after work in the evening. ”

Before Mrs. Xu finished persuading her, Xu Tianxin gestured to her, click, meaning: Milk, don't say it, the last batch is also sold.

"Milk, the family asked you to sell ducks."

"Huh? The duck has to be pre-sold, and it has to be shipped by a white-striped duck.

To have a net weight of ten catties, you need one hundred and thirty-one. Baer's ducks are generally raised for more than five months, and I dare to say that the ducks sold by my grandmother can be raised for seven to eight months, and the stewed soup is particularly delicious and has a lot of lean meat.

It's different from the instant duck that everyone buys for dozens of dollars and grows in forty days.

And grandma tells you how to distinguish, ducks are raised for a long time, have no short wings, and there is a lot of oil on the gils, so it is called feeding the ducks with grain. Yes, I dare to swear to all the gods that what I sell is serious grain ducks. This thing is like this, if you don't understand it, it's expensive, and if you understand, you'll understand, this is a farmer who raises ducks bowing to life, and one hundred and thirty-one are raised for seven or eight months, which is called cheap sales.

If you want to buy a good one, you look for me...... Why didn't the anchor answer the ...... of shipping in a few days"

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: The anchor doesn't know, and she can't wait to arrive tomorrow, anyway, it's gone with a whoosh.

It's strange who shipped this.

An even stranger thing happened that night, Xu Tianxin exchanged for random prizes of big porridge and salted duck eggs, but the prizes did not appear.

And Xu Youtian, who was thousands of miles away, had two more bags of salt on his injured ankle.
