The carriage seems to be a light car, but in fact, how many people are secretly followed, only Xiao Yanxing knows how to feel.

Wang Shu stood under the tree with her waist crossed, letting the wild wind blow and take away the stuffiness. She squinted her eyes and stretched, only to notice that both sides of the official road were actually farmland. In this hot weather, the farmland on both sides is scarce. The shriveled old man with his shriveled body and three or two dirty children who were skinny as bamboo poles worked in the fields under the sun.

The scorching sun was scorching the earth, and both children and old men were sweating, and their dark faces were full of hardship.

Wang Shu originally wanted to praise this undeveloped natural scenery, but after seeing it clearly, she suddenly lost her comfortable mood. She asked the magpie to bring a straw hat and went down the ridge with two guards.

This piece is all farmland, and Wang Shu is watching it all the way. It is not obvious when you put it on the top, and it is even more sparse after you come down.

She walked along the ridge for a quarter of an hour before she finally came to the field where she was working.

At this time, the old man in ragged clothes in the field heard the movement and turned his head. I opened my mouth before I spoke, and there were not a few teeth left. The child next to the old man was not much better, his clothes were patched but still unclothed. Thin as firewood sticks, they hid behind the old man one by one, and looked at Wang Shu and his party timidly.

"Old man, this year's crop harvest is not good?" Wang Shuzhi didn't seem to notice that they were nervous, and chatted with the tenants at home.

The old man was a little in awe of the girl in front of him who looked so good that she didn't look like a real person, especially when Wang Shu was still stained with two tall guards behind her. But when he heard Wang Shu ask, he still replied: "This year's harvest is not bad, much better than last year." ”

Wang Shu then looked at the sparse farmland again, choked his throat, and asked, "How much grain can be harvested from this acre?" ”

Although the old man felt that the woman in front of him was strange, he held the hoe and looked very panicked. I couldn't guess what the man was trying to ask. Before he could speak, the child behind him spoke first: "This year's harvest of this acre is estimated to have more than half a stone!" I heard that there is a big man in Liangzhou Mansion this year, and the big man wants to reduce taxes for us! If you hand over 20%, you can leave half a stone! ”

When he said that, the child's eyebrows fluttered, and his eyes were full of real joy.

Wang Shu's heart tightened inexplicably, and he took a few steps forward. Squatting down and looking at the crops in the field, the two children were curious, and couldn't help but stare at Wang Shu with wide eyes. Wang Shu laughed, reached out and touched the child's head, turned his head and asked a few more people in the family and a few acres of land.

In these days, people are really simple. Wang Shu, a stranger, asked such a private topic, and the child didn't know that people's hearts were sinister. A family of 12 people, six acres of land. An old couple, three widows, and seven and a half children. All the men of the family were arrested and served as soldiers, and they did not come back to the battlefield.

Wang Shu didn't speak, squatted down and stretched out his hand to twist a small poke of soil, and his expression became a little heavy.

"Master?" The magpie followed Wang Shu inch by inch, and when he saw that Wang Shu's expression was wrong, he hurriedly shouted.

"It's fine." Wang Shu patted the soil on his hands and praised the old man, "The old man is diligent and has the ability to farm." I have come all the way, and it is true that your land has the best harvest. ”

The old man didn't expect to suddenly get such a compliment, and he was flattered.

He grinned toothlessly, and his old face was full of wrinkles: "This year is lucky, the crops in this field are growing well." In the past, I didn't have this good luck, and the harvest was half less than now, God willing......"

Wang Shu smiled, praised a few children for being sensible, and turned back to the carriage.

The magpie thought that she had come down to have an idea about the land, but her master twisted the earth, and praised that the soil was not bad, and the man went back to the carriage. Over there, the lark was still cooking with Master Lin. Master Lin was sent by Xiao Yanxing to take care of Wang Shu's food and regulate her body. Since then, he has been following Wang Shu and cooking meals to condition his body.

"What's wrong with the master?" The lark came from afar and whispered to the magpie, "Why am I upset?" ”

"I don't know." The magpie was an elm head, and shook his head, "The master said that the soil in the field is quite fat, and the crops are growing well. Sister, does the master want to buy the land? ”

The lark didn't follow him just now, and he didn't know if what the magpie said was right, so he frowned: "On such a hot day, how can you be stuffy in the car?" Go to the carriage and see if the master is unwell. It's easy to get heat stroke when it's hot, so go quickly! ”

The magpie was knocked on the head by a lark and hurried over.

Wang Shu shrank in the carriage at this time, she didn't suffer from heat stroke as the lark said, she just suddenly felt a little astringent in her heart.

Wang Shu is a scientific researcher engaged in grain hybridization, and has been for several lifetimes. Although she didn't have much contact with people outside the world along the way of growing up, she either buried herself in research in the laboratory or buried herself in the experimental field. But after reading the book for so many years, Wang Shu has some hearts for the general public in her bones. She insisted on hybridizing rice, and her original intention was also to make food productive and affordable for the poor.

"Master, but you're not feeling well?" The magpie came in with a cup of herbal tea and lifted the curtain.

Wang Shu frowned and pondered, and when she heard the voice, she just took it and drank all the herbal tea in one gulp.

The magpie saw that she had finished drinking and did not speak, and sat in the carriage without knowing what to think. I was afraid that she would be bored, so I simply hung up the car curtain. Not only are the curtains hung up, but the curtains on both sides are also hung up. Such a three-sided wind can also make the carriage more comfortable.

Wang Shu lowered her head and kept thinking, and there was no movement on the carriage.

On the contrary, it was the lark's side that had lunch ready, and he came over to call someone, and Wang Shu woke up from his contemplation.

"Master, the meal is ready." The lark looked at Wang Shu's expression carefully, and saw that she was not uncomfortable, so she also put her mind at ease, "It's also uncomfortable to be stuffy in the car all the time, so the master might as well come down and eat." After a little rest, it's time for us to go. ”

Wang Shu nodded, "What did Concubine Yang say?" ”

"If you don't get down, use it in the car." The lark held Wang Shu's arm, "Xiao Yao has already brought the food over, and the master will eat first." ”

Wang Shu sat down to eat, and after eating, he sat alone on the ridge. The people in the field were still working, and in the distance, an old woman who was almost hooked to the ground with her waist hooked to the ground rushed over with a bamboo building on her back. The old woman was in rags, and her snow-white hair was blown like straw by the wind. The man went down to the ridge on his stomach and slowly went to the four ancestors and grandchildren who were working.

Good eyesight means that you can see clearly, and from a distance, Wang Shu can also see a few black nests in the rice bowl that the family took out. The old woman took one and gave it to the old man, and the rest was divided among the children. The eldest child broke a piece and stuffed it into the old woman......

"Let's go." Wang Shu retracted her gaze and took the lead back to the carriage.

The master spoke, and the people below naturally did not dare to delay.

After Mama Yuan took care of the Yang family, she returned to Wang Shu at this time. Yang went out for the first time in eight years, and her body couldn't bear it. The carriage was bumpy all the way, and it almost didn't turn her soul upside down. Her body is already weaker than ordinary women, and she vomits all the way, does this cost her life? Mama Yuan took the doctor over to give her needles and medicine, so that she could be recuperated and sober.

Wang Shu is in good health, but she is not worried: "Get her an ointment to paste, maybe she can feel better." ”

"It's posted, it's useless." Mama Yuan sighed, "I guess it's hard to walk this way." ”

If it was in the past, Wang Shu would definitely cheer up, but at this time, it seems a little wilted.

Mama Yuan felt strange in her heart and turned her head to look at the lark.

The lark shook her head, and she didn't know what was happening. The two then looked at the insider, the magpie, who stared at a pair of round eyes, and didn't know what kind of lawsuit the two were fighting.

It was a very silent journey. Wang Shu often opens the curtain and looks out.

There is a lot of farmland along the way, but there are not many people working in the fields. And most of them are elderly people and children. The crops in the fields were sparse, some of them were infested by insects, and there was not much harvest at all. Wang Shu lowered the curtain after a few glances, and the carriage was stuffy and never opened. This way arrived outside the city gate of Liangzhou Mansion, Wang Shu was willing to open the car curtain to breathe.

In the prince's mansion of Liangzhou Mansion, Wang Shu is the first time to come. Yang is different, she has lived in this mansion for six years. She was very familiar with every plant and tree in the mansion, and when she entered the mansion, she walked straight to her courtyard.

The Prince's Mansion has been specially taken care of since it was recovered, and now it has been repaired as new. Because Xiao Yanxing has never returned, this mansion retains the appearance it was before it was confiscated. Naturally, Yang's yard was never touched. Although Wang Shu had never been to Liangzhou before, the people below knew the severity. The yard of Wang Shu and the dragon and phoenix fetus arranged by Mama Yuan personally came to arrange, and the decorations in it were all personally selected by Mama Yuan.

In the past, as soon as I rested, I heard from the porter that the post station sent someone to ask, is the emperor's eldest son's person back? When will the order be received?

"Tell them that they will come tomorrow." Even if Wang Shu has no temper, he can be provoked by these people, "They have been waiting for the past few days, and they are not missing a day or two!" Just wait! ”

The concierge hadn't seen Wang Shu yet, but when he saw Mama Yuan's respectful attitude, he immediately guessed that this was the side concubine who gave birth to the eldest son. I didn't expect the side concubine to be so beautiful. The porter was excited, saluted respectfully, and then went down to reply.

Not to mention that Wang Shu's side was unhappy about when to receive the order, on the Jiangnan side, Wei Sangang took away all the information of Lu Li and Wang Ruyi. Within a few days, there were people who came to Jiangnan from thousands of miles away to ask the government for all the information of Concubine Zhao's draft. However, they entered the dossier room of the government and found nothing. Then he went to Wang's house and found that all the evidence and physical evidence that Wang Ruyi had in Wang's house had also been cleaned up.

Wei San's movements were so fast, and there was nothing left to scavenge. Let Wang Ruyi, who was waiting for news in the capital, learn that the people he sent out found nothing in Jiangnan, and he felt a chill in his bones.

She couldn't help but be scared when she hugged the little princess, and pinched her heart little by little: "Who took my things......

Wei San returned to Liangzhou with his things, and he didn't move at all.

Wang Ruyi panicked for a few days and felt uneasy. She hadn't written to Wang Shu for two months, and after thinking about it, she picked up the pen again and wrote a letter to Wang Shu.

Chapter 119

The prince's mansion was repopulated, and the people of the palace were all moved.

The mansion finally has a master back, and they all have to tighten their skins, and they can no longer serve the master with a loose attitude in the past.

Needless to say, the Yang family used to be the old concubine of the prince's mansion. The temperament is very gloomy.,I don't like to deal with people when I'm idle.。 When the Liang family was the crown princess, unless they could see people when they woke up every morning, they would hardly step out of the courtyard door at other times. It is not difficult to serve the Yang family, many people have served the Yang family before and know the Yang family's temperament. The people were excited, It was Wang Shu, the side concubine who had never seen before.

I heard that a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses were born to His Royal Highness. Mama Yuan can't wait to offer people as ancestors, and the people below are naturally even more attentive.

But even with a courteous attitude, no one dared to dance to Wang Shu seriously and seriously. This is the Prince's Mansion, and the people in the mansion are different from those in Lin'an County, they are all people from the palace. The rules and principles are engraved in the bones, and they will naturally serve others and be measured.

Wang Shu fell asleep after lunch, took a nap for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly asked people to prepare a carriage and go out.

Mama Yuan was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked people to inquire. She had just arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and she had a lot of things to do with the housekeeper in the Prince's Mansion. Mama Yuan is a person close to Xiao Yanxing, and she is also Xiao Yanxing's upbringing when she was young, and her identity is different from that of ordinary slaves. Although the housekeeper is in charge of all the general affairs on the side of the prince's mansion, he still has to report to Mama Yuan as it is.

She was summoning the subordinates of the mansion in the front yard to listen to their report, and she was a little worried when she heard that Wang Shu was going out: "Where is the master going?" ”

"Looks like I'm going to the outskirts of the city to have a look."

The person who reported was a subordinate of the prince's mansion, and he didn't know the temperament of Wang Shu, the new master.

Mama Yuan was a little surprised that Wang Shu had nothing to do in the suburbs, but she would not interfere with Wang Shu's access. After all, no matter how decent she is in front of her master, she is still a slave: "Arrange guards and protect the master." ”

Wang Shu didn't really want to go anywhere, she just went to the farmland on the outskirts of the city to see.

I saw a lot of farmland along the way, and the harvest was very bleak. With this mu yield, food and clothing for ordinary farmers are a problem. After paying the tax, it is estimated that the family may not be able to live well even if the belt is broken. Wang Shu thought that her estimated yield per mu was low enough, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that the reality was even more desperate than she expected.

The carriage walked all the way like outside the city, and Wang Shu's whole person was wilted, so quiet that the magpie worried: "The master misses the little master?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Shu was looking out the window when she heard the words and raised her head.

The magpie thought that he had guessed correctly, and persuaded him, "Just stay in Fucheng for a few days, and we will go back after receiving the order." Isn't it good to say that the master didn't have time to walk around some time ago? I heard that there are several big tile cities in this city, and there are many rare things in them! If the master thinks that he is bored in the house, he can go out and go around. Maybe you can find something good that the master didn't expect! ”

Wang Shu was not interested, but still smiled: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something." ”

The magpie listened to her tone a little serious, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

The carriage left the city slowly, and outside the city was not all farmland. In these years, the degree of farmland reclamation was completely inferior to that of later generations, and the utilization rate was also low. There are not so many fertile fields either. Walking through a small forest and slowly walking towards the subordinate village, I gradually saw the farmland.

Liangzhou is located in the northwest, and this place is mostly dry land.

Crops such as buds, wheat, millet, and sorghum are cultivated in the dry land, and paddy fields are only available where there is water, and the share is not large. Wang Shu deliberately went over to take a closer look, and estimated that the planting method was very different from that in the south, and there were many problems. There are differences between the rice in the northwest and the rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are also great differences in natural conditions and planting techniques, and the yield is more than half less than that in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Shu came all the way, except for a few paddy fields planted with some rice, the rest were mostly bud rice and sorghum. She asked her to stop, got out of the car and checked the fruit in the sorghum field, broke one and opened it, and the fruit was twice as small as the genetically modified species of later generations.

This is the case in this piece. In a word, the production is not abundant.

Wang Shu walked along the ridge and inspected the nearby wheat fields.

The growth of wheat is not good, and although it is densely planted, it has a low seed setting rate.

She pinched a small ear of wheat and squeezed the juice out of her palm. Bow your head and pull your other hand in your palm. The wheat grains are very shallow, and it can be seen that the starch content of the wheat ears is not high. Wang Shu's heart was heavy, as if a big stone was pressed against her heart, making her feel aggrieved and sour. She stood up with her waist crossed, looking at the vast farmland and did not speak for a long time.

The magpie and the guards didn't know what Wang Shu was looking at, but they all knew that the master liked to work in the field. I guess I'm looking at the variety. No one dared to disturb her, so they stood aside and waited for her.

Wang Shu circled around the large field for half an hour, and then got into the carriage without saying a word.

"Let's go, go to the southern suburbs."

"The master still wants to see it?" The magpie saw that she was sweating profusely, her cheeks were red, and she was a little distressed, "It's so hot today, why don't you come and see it tomorrow?" Go back and wash up and rest for a while? ”

"No, let's take a trip to the southern suburbs." Wang Shu leaned against the wall of the carriage and didn't know what she was thinking, her expression was not very happy.

The magpie wanted to persuade again, but Wang Shu raised his voice to ask the coachman outside to reroute: "Go to the southern suburbs." ”

This afternoon, Wang Shu went around several suburbs outside the city of Liangzhou without saying a word. The others didn't understand it before, but later they saw what she was looking at, and they scattered to check. After checking it, bring the things over to Wang Shu to see again. Wang Shu checked like this for an afternoon, and the group wandered around the farmland until dark before returning to the prince's mansion.

It was the first time that the subordinates of the prince's mansion served a master like Wang Shu, and as soon as they came, they went out by car, and it seemed that they couldn't stay.

They guessed in their hearts that no one dared to chew the root of their master's tongue. It is estimated that Wang Shu was born in the countryside, and her temperament is not as beautiful and quiet as everyone in Beijing. Thinking like this in my heart, no one dares to look down on Wang Shu, and I still don't dare to be sloppy in what I should do.

Wang Shu didn't care much about what the people below thought, she was busy all afternoon, took a little dinner, bathed and changed clothes, and then fell asleep.

The next day, the messenger who had read the decree came to the door.

Wang Shu and Yang, as the hostesses of the palace, led a group of subordinates from the prince's mansion to receive the order in front of the gate. The decree was to be read in public, and along with it came a reward from the emperor. The envoy didn't see Xiao Yanxing, and said a few more words in a weird way. As soon as the decree was read, the earth-shattering news stunned everyone.

The faces of the prince's mansion were different, and they looked at Wang Shu who was kneeling at the front in horror.
