"This is our manor. It's fertile!! ”

"The land is completely connected, and there are canals!"

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun have been sorting out their own industries in the past few days, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is this manor.

This is the dowry of the daughter-in-law Ning Yun, two manors.

One is called Liuyun Villa, covering an area of 3,000 acres.

One is called Tianyu Villa, covering an area of 5,000 acres.

This Tianyu Villa was originally Zhu Gaoxu's, because Zhu Ningyun often said that "I love this land deeply", so he asked for it and wanted to come.

"Xiaolang, do you like it?"

Zhu Ningyun took Li Xiao's hand and wandered around the small roads in the fields in this manor.

"Of course I like it, having so much land makes it feel very grounded."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "The land is full of vitality and hope, it bears witness to the hard work of the farmers, and carries the expectation of a bumper harvest. Every season, every reincarnation, witnesses the wonder and generosity of nature. ”

The sun is shining, and a green field is in front of you.

Like a vivid picture, it gives people comfort and tranquility.

The sunlight penetrates the rice leaves, sprinkling patches of dappled light and shadow, making people revel in this tranquil beauty.

Occasionally, one or two dragonflies flutter leisurely on the ridges.

It adds a bit of life to the field.

The fields are connected in patches, and such fields are best tended.

In the fields, many men are busy.

These were tenants, and they lived in the estate, and they worked all year round.

On top of that, these lands are also not taxable

More than 8,000 acres of land, after a busy year, in addition to the cost, each mu of land can produce the equivalent of 3 taels of grain.

Eight thousand acres of land can produce 24,000 taels.

These are regular incomes!

And the land doesn't have to be managed.

Give it to the tenants, who will cultivate it themselves and hand over the grain every year.

It is no wonder that regardless of the dynasty, land annexation is the most headache.

Li Xiao is now a direct beneficiary, and this feeling is indeed very cool!

"Xiaolang, you seem to have something to say?"

Zhu Ningyun and Li Xiao have the same mind, and when he saw Li Xiao thinking about the problem, he knew that Li Xiao must have some ideas in his heart.

"Well, I do have something."

Li Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Every year, these lands in these manors are planted by these tenants, right?" ”

Zhu Ningyun nodded: "That's right, now that the mother concubine has given us all the accounts, we only need to manage the accounts and harvest rice every year, and leave these little things to me, you don't have to worry about it." ”

What Li Xiao thought was that he could start planting hybrid rice and start stockpiling grain!

He pointed to a direction and said, "Ning Yun, I want to stock up on the grain produced by the manor, let's build a few granaries here." ”

Zhu Ningyun was slightly puzzled: "Build a granary and hoard grain??" ”

Because the grain was sold every year, most of it was sold to the yamen as local military rations.

Li Xiao nodded.

Zhu Ningyun said: "Xiaolang, you are in charge, but I can ask, why are you hoarding grain?" ”

Ahh

This made Li Xiao ask immediately.

It can't be said that it is for rebellion after six years, right?

Seeing that Li Xiao was not easy to speak, Zhu Ningyun didn't ask, and said intimately: "Xiaolang, you must have your use, then I will do as you say, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to build a granary, and the grain produced in the future will be hoarded and not sold." ”

"Daughter-in-law, you're so nice."

Li Xiao kissed her.

It is said that behind a successful man, there must be a woman who pays silently.

Zhu Ningyun is simply a prosperous face.

【Ding! You and Zhu Ningyun have the same heart, the husband sings and the wife follows, trusts each other, and obtains a consensus. Earn Sweet Points: 20 points. Trigger 50x Critical Hit and get Sweet Points: 1000 points. 】

[Current points: 1,205,100 points.] 】

Although Zhu Ningyun didn't know what Li Xiao's idea was.

But she knew that everything Xiaolang did must be for the good of this family.

As a woman, silent support is, why bother asking too much?

When it's time to use it, you'll know it.

Since his daughter-in-law is so good at talking, Li Xiao is not polite, and takes out some rice seeds, which are the rice seeds of hybrid rice.

"Daughter-in-law, look."

"This is a rice seed?"

Li Xiao nodded, and shook his head again: "This is not an ordinary rice seed. ”

Zhu Ningyun asked, "How is it unusual?" ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Ordinary rice seeds produce 500 catties of grain per mu. My rice seed has a high yield, with a grain yield of 2,000 catties per mu, which has quadrupled. ”

"What!"

Zhu Ningyun was so shocked that her face was pale, she picked up the rice seed in Li Xiao's hand and took a look, it was big and full.

She asked excitedly: "Can this really yield 2,000 catties per mu?" ”

Li Xiao nodded, "Hmm." ”

Zhu Ningyun was curious: "Where did this rice seed come from??" ”

Li Xiao explained: "It is obtained through artificial pollination and breeding technology. Select high-quality parents with different excellent characteristics, such as high yield, high disease resistance, high quality, etc. Then, the pollen of the mother and father is combined by means of artificial pollination to produce new hybrid seeds. These hybrid seeds have excellent characteristics of both mother and father, and through multiple generations of selection and selection, this "hybrid rice" can be obtained. ”

"I don't understand it, but it's really good, if there is such a rice seed, the people will have a good life, and no one will have enough to eat."

Zhu Ningyun is kind-hearted, but the first thing she thinks of is the people.

She didn't have any doubts about what Li Xiao said.

Li Xiao said that it can yield 2,000 catties per mu, which can definitely be achieved.

"Still."

Li Xiao smiled embarrassedly: "Six years later, six years later, dedicated to the country." ”

Six years later, Zhu Di was rebelling, and naturally it was dedicated to Zhu Di's country.

"Six years. Okay, listen to your husband. ”

Zhu Ningyun didn't know what medicine was sold in Li Xiao's gourd, and there was such a high-yield grain, why did it have to be announced six years later.

Xiaolang, Xiaolang, what do you want to do?

You don't say. Then I'll guess slowly

"If it's announced in six years, it means it can't be leaked now, right?"

Zhu Ningyun squinted and looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

"The daughter-in-law is too smart."

Li Xiao nodded.

"It's not difficult to say, you just need to give these tenants more benefits, and they won't talk nonsense, leave it to me."

Zhu Ningyun patted his chest and said proudly.

"By the way, the smelting workshop and the textile workshop have also been moved over together, and this manor will be fenced off, and no one will be allowed to approach."

Li Xiao put forward another condition.

Naturally, the smelter is to make weapons and armor.

Later, Li Xiao also planned to set up a fireworks workshop, ostensibly to engage in fireworks, but in fact to make bombs.

"Okay, Li Xiao, are you going to occupy the mountain as the king and be the king of the mountain?"

Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao with a wicked smile and pinched his stomach.

"If I am the king of the mountain, then you are the cottage lady."

Li Xiao and Ning Yun were laughing and playing, and almost accidentally fell into the farmland, but fortunately, Li Xiao was quick and pulled her back.

"Then these freshly planted rice, let's pull them out again and plant them again."

"Hmm."

Li Xiao nodded, "Leave me another piece of land, and I want to grow a vegetable garden by myself." ”

"Okay, let's plant together."

Zhu Ningyun unconditionally supports any decision of Li Xiao.

That's it.

These things that Li Xiao explained were all secretly arranged by Zhu Ningyun.

Textile workshops and smelting workshops were also moved to the estate.

A number of houses were added to the manor for people to live in.

Li Xiao called a group of carpenters and worked overtime day and night to make looms.

The textile workshop, Li Xiao plans to let Xu Yinger manage it, and the girls brought by Yangzhou are also training.

As for the smelting workshop, Li Xiao asked the craftsmen to open a hole in a mountain in the manor and start work in the mountain, after all, it is to build weapons, and it can't be too public.

The periphery of the manor began to be surrounded by a wall, and guards were also arranged to patrol, and Li Xiao secretly accepted some family members to do things for himself.

"The head of the house, the head of the house, the big thing, the big thing!"

On this day, Li Xiao supervised the work in the manor.

Zhang Erniu, the leader of the smelting workshop, hurried and ran towards Li Xiao.

These people are all domestic slaves, and now they have sold their bodies and transferred their ownership to the Li Mansion.

So they are all Li Xiao's house slaves.

When Li Xiao saw Zhang Erniu, he was shocked and asked, "It can't be digging a mountain and digging a landslide, right?" ”

"No, no, no."

Zhang Erniu shook his head and explained: "I've dug up iron ore!" The mountain behind this manor turned out to be an iron mine, with a very high iron content! ”

"What!"

Li Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, he really had encountered all the good things for himself.

Then Yao Guangxiao is really right, he is really a man of good luck.

"Take me there!"

Li Xiao quickly followed Zhang Erniu towards the iron mine.

Sure enough, the blacksmiths who were digging caves were staring at the iron ore one by one.

"I'll go, it's really an iron mine!"

Li Xiao was surprised, how much iron ore does such a big mountain get?

"No one else knows about this, right?" Li Xiao asked in a low voice.

Li Erniu said: "No, just find out, report to the head of the family." ”

"Don't disclose this."

Li Xiao took out some golden beans and handed them over: "Give it to the brothers, don't go out of Zhuangzi if you have nothing to do in the future, there is grain, cloth spinning, and Langzhong in Zhuangzi, and I will run a school later." I'm going to take your family over and live there. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the ownership of iron mines can be divided into three forms: government-run, government-private joint venture and private operation.

But no matter what form it takes, if you find an iron mine, you have to report it to the imperial court for the record.

I used to think about secretly making armor and weapons, and I needed to buy a lot of iron ore, which was easy to detect.

But now the problem is all solved.

There is iron ore in the estate, and there is no need to go out and buy it.

This iron mine is not reported to the imperial court, and no one knows.

Since Li Xiao intends to make this Zhuangzi a cottage situation, he must have complete living facilities, so that he can better keep it secret.

"Okay master, don't worry, we won't reveal a word."

Li Erniu took the golden bean and understood.

The meaning of bringing their family in is not to reveal the news.

Otherwise, the family will not be protected.

But there's no need to leak it yourself, and this new owner is so generous.

"Then you don't have to do it in the cave, just mine iron ore here, and set up the smelting workshop first."

Li Xiao opened his mouth to command.

If these blacksmiths don't have to go out to buy iron ore, they won't have to be so stable.

Just set up a smelting workshop at the bottom of the mountain.

"Yes, Master."

Li Erniu nodded, then greeted everyone and divided the golden beans.

After explaining the matter, I began to direct everyone to work.

Next, Li Xiao went to the territory of the textile workshop.

The textile workshop is located on a plot of land to the south of the manor, and the factory is being built at this time.

And those women were in the open space, watching Xu Ying'er demonstrate and teach them to weave, and Zhu Ningyun was also listening.

"Ningyun."

Li Xiao smiled and beckoned.

"Husband."

Zhu Ningyun smiled slightly, came over, and tidied up Li Xiao's clothes.

"How's it going, have you figured out the new loom?"

Li Xiao nodded, then looked at Xu Ying'er and asked.

After he transported the loom over, he copied the method of use into a book and gave it to Xu Ying'er, and did not teach her in person, so as not to misunderstand his daughter-in-law.

Xu Ying'er put down the things in her hand and nodded:

"Well, master, I figured it out, this shuttle loom is amazing, amazing. The shuttle shuttles up and down the loom, passing the yarn through the silk thread of the loom to complete the weaving process. The efficiency has increased by more than five times. ”

Xu Ying'er didn't like to talk much.

In the disputes of the Huang family, they are always frightened.

But when she came to Yanwang's Mansion, she was still a little frightened.

I thought I was going to marry the brother-in-law of King Yan's son-in-law.

As a result, the righteous brother turned around and became the county lord

This made Xu Yinger surprised and delighted.

What is surprising is how her husband is so dignified and has become a woman.

Happily, this county lord seems to have the intention of taking a concubine and making Li Xiao a child.

What's more, the county lord treats her very well and treats her as a sister.

She was naturally happy in her heart, she already liked Li Xiao, but now she has been faintly looking forward to it, and her eyes are full of tenderness when she looks at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked at the orderly training occasion, nodded and said, "That's good, do it well, the textile workshop will be handed over to you, and I won't treat you badly." ”

"Yes, Master."

Xu Ying'er performed 10,000 blessings, charming and beautiful.

This little girl looks at me, why is it so wrong?

After Li Xiao nodded slightly, he hurriedly pulled Zhu Ningyun to leave in the carriage.

on the carriage.

Zhu Ningyun smiled and said, "Do you like it?" ”

Li Xiao was stunned, "What do you like?" ”

Zhu Ningyun pursed her mouth, "Xu Ying'er." ”

Li Xiao's head shook like a rattle: "It's less than one ten-thousandth of Mrs. ”

Although Ning Yun wanted to take a concubine for himself, Li Xiao knew that it was to have more babies and strengthen the Li Mansion, but in fact, he was still a hundred unwilling in his heart, and this still had to be seen clearly.

"Hmph."

Zhu Ningyun snorted shyly, but her heart blossomed with joy.

Women tend to be like that.

If you want it, he won't give it to you.

You don't want it, but you want to give it to you.

Zhu Ningyun said: "This Xu Ying'er is a good person, her family background is innocent, and she can also run a textile workshop, aren't you afraid that she will marry another woman and take your craftsmanship out?" It's better to keep this craft at home, and only when you become your own family will it not be leaked. ”

This is a typical ancient thought.

In ancient times, family handicrafts were often passed on to men but not to women, and not to outsiders.

The goal is to prevent technology from being leaked.

Li Xiao does not agree with this.

If we blindly work behind closed doors, social development will stagnate.

Li Xiao said: "In this world, no one will still turn, just go, just go, and find another one." ”

Zhu Ningyun glanced at Li Xiao and said, "If there is no one, everyone will turn, so will I turn without it?" ”

Li Xiao's boyfriend was full of strength, "Without you, my world will collapse, the world will be like destruction, and there will be no meaning"

Zhu Ningyun suddenly burst into joy when she heard this, and threw herself into Li Xiao's arms to be coquettish.

At the same time, she was secretly complaining about herself in her heart.

It's been so long, why hasn't my stomach moved?

Could it be that what Lang Zhong said is true? Is it difficult for me to have children?

Hey, if it's true.

Say that you have to give Xiaolang a concubine.

then

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun went to the Yamen of Dong'an County again.

I explained the things in the dormitory.

The dormitory is still under construction, and after learning the news, there are a lot of people who sign up for the dormitory.

The people who come to sign up every day are about to crowd the yamen.

They are sorting out everyone's files, sorting out everyone's talents and so on according to Li Xiao's requirements.

Li Xiao took a general look, and there were still many talented people.

There are chickens, pigs, and fish farmers.

People with these special talents can do things about the village enterprise later.

It was busy for another two hours.

After Li Xiao explained everything clearly, he left in a carriage.

I have to say that since Li Xiao promised the vacation system and the matter of adding money, these people are much more diligent than before.

Sure enough, if you are not happy, you are not given the treatment, the truth!

returned to the Li Mansion,

As soon as I stepped into the door, there was a report from the guards.

said that Princess Yan had something to discuss with her.

"Okay, I'll go over right away."

Li Xiao nodded, and turned towards the Yan Wangfu again.

Hey.

Li Xiao suddenly felt that something was wrong.

I came to the Ming Dynasty to be a county horse, didn't I come to enjoy life?

Why do you suddenly feel like a spinning top day by day??

After finishing the affairs of the manor, he was busy with the affairs of the yamen, as well as shipbuilding, and secretly plotting.

Is this unstoppable?

No, no, I'm not tired.

Li Xiao pondered for a moment and found that he seemed to be enjoying it.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Xiao found the problem.

Power, or power.

When a person has a lot of power and can do a lot of big things, doing these things does not feel tired, but rather a sense of satisfaction.

Now there are too many resources at my disposal, and I have a group of people under him who can use them.

Everything I did was a big thing in the Ming Dynasty.

It can change the livelihood of hundreds of people, and even change the direction of a country.

Moreover, I am not a screw, and I have been repeating a repetitive job.

That's the kind of work that makes people feel very bored and boring.

For all these things, Li Xiao doesn't need to touch his fingers.

They all tell the people below to do it.

I am only responsible for co-ordinating, planning, and using the resources at my disposal.

Those who seek great things hide in their hearts and do things.

It's not meaningless to do it yourself.

At some point, the eruption will have a chemical effect that will change the course of future history!

"When you think about it this way, this kind of life is interesting."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, and stepped into the Yanwang Mansion.

In the palace of King Yan.

Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun prepared the meal.

But now, the Yan Wangfu feels very deserted.

Without Zhu Di and his three sons, there are only three people sitting around a table to eat.

"Try it, Li Xiao, I have nothing to do today, and my mother will cook Zhang Luo herself."

As the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, as soon as Li Xiao came, Xu Miaoyun sandwiched a duck leg for Li Xiao.

Zhu Ningyun quipped: "The mother concubine is eccentric, why doesn't the daughter have it." ”

My daughter is really getting more and more cheerful now, and she knows how to joke with herself.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Xu Miaoyun smiled again and put another duck leg in Zhu Ningyun's bowl.

"Thank you, Princess." Zhu Ningyun said affectionately.

The three of them chatted happily for a while while eating.

Only then did Princess Yan open her mouth to get down to business, "Li Xiao, you give your mother an idea." Wasn't it raining for months some time ago, and there was a famine in various places, and we were the same in Beiping, but that time, thanks to you, Kaizhong Law got a lot of food to give to the victims, so we were safe in Beiping. ”

Li Xiao nodded, listened, and listened very carefully.

Princess Yan continued: "But the Baoding Mansion and Zhangjiakou Mansion next door to us also have a lot of victims, and the local government is unable to provide disaster relief, and these victims have come to our Beiping." Governor Huang has already discussed with me, saying that he will keep the victims out of Beiping. What do you think? ”

After listening, Li Xiao understood.

If it was in normal times, it would definitely not matter, but now it is not usual.

Li Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "Whether the victims of the disaster are from Beiping Mansion, Baoding Mansion or Zhangjiakou Mansion, they are all the people of our Ming Dynasty, how can we sit and watch them starve to death?" Of course, it is to provide disaster relief, since other governments cannot afford it, it is up to our Beiping Mansion to provide disaster relief, and now, my father-in-law is fighting between the DPRK and China."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao paused.

Xu Miaoyun raised her head and waved her hand.

The surrounding maids stepped back and closed the door.

Li Xiao then continued: "My father-in-law is fighting for the position of great treasure in the court, at this time, every word and deed and every move of Beiping Mansion represents the image of King Yan. We are here for disaster relief, and the news has reached the court, which is beneficial to my father-in-law! ”

When the words fell, Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao in surprise.

He really felt that his husband was getting more and more powerful, and his edge was gradually revealed!

Princess Yan also feels the same way, this son-in-law can understand this, and he is really improving.

She nodded and said, "The mother concubine also thinks the same, but the problem is that the victims of the two prefectures are pouring in, and the Beiping Mansion can't afford it." ”

Li Xiao asked: "Didn't you open the Chinese law a few months ago, and the grain you get can't be filled in the granary?" ”

Xu Miaoyun explained: "Part of it is for the relief of the victims in Beiping, and the remaining part is military rations, which cannot be used. The common people are important, but the border military affairs are even more important. ”

Li Xiao said: "Only the military rations left for the autumn are left, is the remaining grain enough for disaster relief?" ”

Xu Miaoyun calculated silently in his heart, and said after half a sound: "Except for the military rations that have passed the autumn, there are still fifteen million catties of grain left. Although there are not enough, the disaster relief is barely enough. ”

Li Xiao was also thinking in his heart.

He has 8,000 acres of fertile land, all of which are hybrid rice, with a yield of 2,000 catties per mu.

It is calculated that there are 16 million catties of grain during the autumn harvest, which is just enough to fill this hole.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Then take the military rations to disaster relief." ”

Xu Miaoyun frowned: "How to solve the shortage of military rations in the second half of the year?" ”

Li Xiao said: "I have a way to make up for it!" ”

Zhu Ningyun immediately thought of Li Xiao's hybrid rice with a yield of 2,000 catties per mu.

If you do a careful calculation, you can really fill the hole and show a surprised expression.

Princess Yan looked incredulous.

Zhu Ningyun hurriedly said: "Mother, I believe in Li Xiao, he can turn decay into magic, since Li Xiao has spoken, it must be possible." ”

If ordinary people said this, Princess Yan probably regarded the other party as a liar who said big things.

can be said from Li Xiao's mouth, she still has some faith, but she is a little hesitant.

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, after the autumn harvest, I will definitely be able to fill the hole in the military rations, and at this time, it is still the first priority to fight for the throne."

As he spoke, his voice became lower, and he said softly: "To say something rebellious, if this move can help my father-in-law win the position of the Great Treasure, take a step back and say, even if I can't make up for this military ration, what does it matter?"

After hearing this, Xu Miaoyun's face was shocked.

I'm really smart, and I've been foolish for a while.

What the son-in-law said is very reasonable!

If the prince gets the throne, are you afraid that such a trivial matter will not be solved?

The son-in-law really sees farther than himself!

What's more, the son-in-law is likely to really be able to fill this hole.

Princess Yan showed joy and said:

"Okay, then it's decided, open a position, disaster relief!"
