Lu Ying checked the materials that were going to be sent to the barracks, and there were more than ten large warehouses full of rice and noodles, and they were all packed in bags, and each bag was full.

He was not at ease, and randomly selected dozens of bags to open them to check that they were really grain, and he was not replaced by any bold ones.

The person who was in charge of the warehouse was almost scared by Lu Ying, he knelt on the ground and swore to the sky, but if he touched a grain in the warehouse, let Grandpa Rain God use thunder to chop their whole family to death!

Lu Ying asked people to raise their hands, Cangguan trembled and raised his palm, Lu Ying touched a golden bean and put it on it, patted Cangguan's head, and left, Cangguan was stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses and showed ecstasy.

"I—I've been blessed by the rain god! Good luck in the New Year! ”

After reading the rice noodles, and then looking at the oil, there is a lot of oil on Qiongya Island, there are soybean oil, lard, and peanut oil pressed from peanuts, Lu Ying ordered people to burn pottery to hold grease, the size is about the same as the small jar of Huxiang bean curd, when the army trained well, there are those who go out with the navy to make meritorious contributions, so they take some animal oil, but no matter how bad it is, there is soybean oil to move home.

In this year, oil is a precious food, and as long as you have it, it is a huge surprise.

There is also sugar, because a lot of sugar was sold in exchange for gold and silver, so Lu Ying only prepared two catties for each of the sergeants, so that everyone could have a sweet mouth with their families during the New Year, and there was also a piece of cloth per person.

These are all additional benefits during the Chinese New Year, Lu Ying checked them, sent golden beans to the warehouse managers by the way, said Happy New Year, and created several strange people who shouted "I am blessed" in ecstasy.

When she returned home, Lu Ying took a breath and smiled at Lu Xiaoxuan: "My mother has worked hard outside this year, and she came back from earning the title of Duke of Qiongguo, and won the battle. ”

Lu Xiaoxuan was surprised and delighted: "Yingying also prepared a gift for me, thank you." ”

Before she saw the gift, Lu Xiaoxuan hugged her son and kissed her a few bites, Lu Ying struggled out, and said shyly: "I'm already old, my mother can't always be like this, like this...... Say kiss is kiss. ”

He coughed lightly again, adjusted his expression, and went outside to call someone.

Lu Xiaoxuan has made up her mind that no matter what her son sends, even if she sends another carload of people, she will make an extremely happy appearance.

After a while, several servants came in carrying more than a dozen boxes, Lu Xiaoxuan was puzzled, and when the servants opened the boxes, the dazzling jewels almost blinded Officer Lu's eyes.

Nanyang is not running in vain, Lu Ying's private treasury has expanded several times this year.

Lu Xiaoxuan: Is this a thin gift?

Out of various considerations, on the day of the welfare, Lu Ying personally escorted the material convoy to the barracks.

As the leader of the Lu family's navy, Lu Fang stood up and used internal force to speak, he didn't like to be verbose, he only emphasized the legal principles, the history and foundation of the Lu family's navy, and the military regulations set by Lu Ying last year, and praised a few people who had military merits and were always hard in training.

Lu Xiaoxuan listened from the sidelines, admiring her father very much, don't look at him not talking much, but he is quite inflammatory, it can be seen that his father has not been the king of the South China Sea for so many years.

After Lu Fang finished speaking, Lu Ying stepped forward, Lan Shan took the initiative to stand next to him, and when Lu Ying finished speaking, Lan Shan was angry.

"Young Master Sun has an order, this year's harvest on the island is good, everyone will give New Year's gifts!"

The whole army cheered.

Lu Ying stood in front of the convoy, lined up with Ba Shui, and sent out the packaged rice, flour, grain, oil, sugar cloth, he had lived in the barracks, and with a good memory, he could now call out the name of every sergeant he saw.

"Sangou, you are diligent and willing to endure hardships, and you will continue to work hard in the coming year."

"Shui Zhu, when you go home for the New Year, you have to help your parents do some housework, don't be lazy."

"Yuzai, I heard that you are going to marry a daughter-in-law? You have to live a good life with other girls. ”

"Mussel shell, you recognized the most words in the whole camp last year, not bad."

This gift was sent one by one, don't look at Lu Ying's temporary absence in the Lu family's army, there are only 700 personal soldiers, but the sergeants look at him with indescribable trust and closeness.

For this young master Sun, who is not verbose like his grandfather, the big guy only thinks he is delicate at first, and when Lu Ying arrived at the barracks, some sergeants did it

Okay, accompany Young Master Sun to play games and coax the children to prepare.

But who knew that Young Master Sun was not an ordinary person, he visited the barracks several times, turned his head to improve the living conditions for the big guys, and when he was eating a big pot of rice, he held a bowl and squatted with their group of hills, a small group, so cute that people wanted to laugh when they saw it, but when eating and chatting, they could say that many old men felt that "wow, it makes sense".

When the big guys learned that many of the articles in the textbook were written by Young Master Sun, especially those about farmers and sergeants, they were simply written into their hearts, as if the protagonists in the articles were the people around them, or even themselves.

Then there is Lu Ying asking about the family status of the sergeants, and after asking them about their lives in the army, as long as someone puts forward reasonable needs and suggestions, Lu Ying can respond to everything, everything is settled, and his immature body can't cover his strong and reliable temperament.

In the era when they were still in the world, knowing that the heir of the main family was a child like Lu Ying, the sergeants were relieved.

Lu Fang watched from the side, glancing at his daughter with a smile on his face.

In the past, Lu Fang and Lu Xiaoxuan were not worried about Lu Ying's delicate and frail body, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch the Lu family's army, but now it seems that Lu Ying can not only catch it, but also can receive it very well!

And with this batch of benefits sent out by the Lu Jiajun a year ago, after the New Year's Festival, they will definitely not worry about recruiting new soldiers!

At the end of the year, Qiu Yu was also very busy.

Don't look at the Qiu family as just an ordinary local wealthy family, in charge of a small river in the Huguang area, it is considered a martial arts family, and Qiu Yu's father is just a prefect, but in fact, in this era, he is also a second-generation official and the second generation of Jiawu, so there are naturally many things to consider.

The relationship with the Qiu family, the New Year's gift to the grandmother, uncle, cousin, and cousin, this is a lot of expenses that need to be carefully considered, and the things sent are inappropriate, and they have to be poked in the back.

Qiu's coconut chicken has just opened its first store, and by the end of the year, the accounts of coconut oil workshops, pig farms, chicken farms and farms will also be counted, and next year's planning will also be done.

Qiu Yu was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and he never counted on his own father in these matters, because Qiu Zhifu was a young man who loved antique calligraphy and painting, and he usually took the Qing guests raised in the mansion to visit the landscape, chant poems and paint, and contact the emotions of the faction officials behind him.

The promotion of the Qiu prefect rarely depends on political performance, it all depends on the support of the faction behind him, and he has his own son and the Qiu family to give money, as long as he does not make mistakes, his career can be smoother.

Qiu Yu is willing to give his father money, as long as he can take care of Binzhou government affairs, and will not make the villain cut off his head in the future, other Qiu Yu can't control it, in this era of filial piety, as a son, it is not easy for Qiu Yu to control his father's money bag.

When Wang Xiaoyi hurriedly came to the door, when he heard his intention, Qiu Yu was shocked: "The cloth, meat, and rice and noodles have all been penetrated?" Are you so rich? ”

Wang Xiaoyi smiled bitterly: "Aren't people like this? When the days are a little better, the women's bellies are bulging, and the cubs are not much slower than rabbits, and there are more people in the family, so don't they need to eat and wear? Men don't want to eat more meat and drink more alcohol? ”

Qiu Yu is a businessman, so he naturally knows the art of speaking, and everyone is Brother Ying's horse boy and belongs to his own people, Wang Xiaoyi was taken by Qiu Yu to the farm to pull pigs and grain, and at the same time, he was led to talk about some problems encountered in governing the place.

Not to mention meat and wine, as long as people don't suffer from life, and there is overnight food at home, there will be a spiritual demand, so people who drink and brag and gather to gamble have come out.

Drinking and gambling are just small things, the big thing is that since Lu Ying abolished the prostitution industry, men crave women to go crazy, although the officials in the county government are also men, but some things have happened a lot, and they also scolded men in their hearts for being beasts, and the more stupid and incompetent they are, the easier it is to be controlled by the □□ thing.

Lu Ying has migrated hundreds of men to Nanyang, but it is nothing compared to the nearly one million people on the island, too many bachelors have caused instability in law and order, and many gangsters have been cut down at the entrance of the vegetable markets in various counties.

Fortunately, the problem of public security should be controlled, and it is not difficult to say, as long as you are ruthless, hang a few more heads at the city gate, and kill when you should be killed, the deterrent effect is very sufficient, and the killing of people who do not abide by the law and only add chaos to the Lu family and the county government will not lose anything, and it can also save a lot of governance costs.

Then there are more literacy classes

Some, so that the idler can still have something to do after finishing the work at hand, and it can also play an edifying role.

Just listening to what Wang Xiancheng said, Qiu Yu felt bad, and was full of admiration for Lu Ying, there were so many troublemakers on Qiongya Island, Ying Ying didn't directly open the crazy killing mode, and she could patiently prepare more literacy classes, which simply made him feel the dazzling fatherly aura on Ying Ying across the Qiongzhou Strait.

Forgive Qiu Yu for using the word father, but Lu Ying's patience with many people on Qiongya Island has really reached the point where people who have read history books want to rub their eyes and suspect that they are hallucinating, and he suspects that Lu Ying may not have so much patience when he has a son in the future!

However, thinking of the extremely poor treatment of some students in the literacy class, they take whips if they can't learn to read and count, and throw them to Nanyang after they get rid of their illiteracy, it is difficult to say whether the idea of whipping is not Lu Ying annoyed by those people.

Fortunately, Yingying still has a powerful pen, the texts in the textbook are well written, and the religious belief of the rain god is blessed, after the Lu family sent people to Nanyang to open up wasteland and mines, they really gave people a house to live in, so that they could marry local wives there, so the people who were whipped didn't hate the Lu family very much, and really felt that the Lu family was for their good.

Qiu Yu: After comparing with other ruling classes in this era, isn't Yingying, who has contracted education work and divided land and houses, more gentle and kind than her father?

At first, the civil officials of Qiongya Island felt that Lu Ying's texts were all flat and straightforward vernacular, not to mention insulting Swen, and it was also a bit difficult to get into the elegant hall, but after more contact with practice, they realized that Lu Ying's articles were simply too practical, and they immediately admired Lu Ying so much.

Suddenly, the study of vernacular literature was also popular on Qiongya Island, and there was a small official named Mu Ze, who could write official documents in the vernacular very clearly and easily understandable, and he was praised by Lu Ying, and his career was bright.

But in this matter, what Lu Ying admired Qiu Yu the most was that even if he found out that too many bachelors would lead to instability, he didn't say that he would drive all the women who came out to work back to become his own sons, but chose to expand illiteracy and migrate men to Nanyang with more trouble.

Even if this is because the embroidery, weaving, and sugar mills where the women are located can create large profits, it is also an ironclad fact that Lu Ying can not sacrifice them while squeezing the economic value created by women.

Qiu Yu: There is still a reason why Brother Ying has many female fans on the Internet in later generations, he can handle it, he has something to do with himself, and he doesn't push his female compatriots to top the thunder.

Hearing Qiu Yu sigh like this, Wang Xiaoyi had a sudden expression of "there is still such a heavy reason".

"Yes, Young Master Sun loves the people like a son, and has always loved women, the women in the embroidery workshops in each county keep in mind the kindness of Young Master Sun, and this year they spontaneously embroidered a longevity map, ready to dedicate it to Young Master Sun on the second day of February, or Young Master Qiu understands Young Master Sun, like us, we all think that Young Master Sun is afraid that there is not enough food to eat, so we are not so active in urging people to give birth."

Qiu Yu: "Huh? Grain? Didn't Qiongya Island have a bumper harvest last year? ”

Wang Xiaoyi said: "No matter how much food there is, it can't withstand the crowd, Young Master Sun ordered someone to check the per capita grain share, many people who have given birth to a bunch of children, and the food share can't even reach two hundred catties a year, I don't know why they give birth to so much, it's life."

Are you afraid that there will be no vegetable shop on the island to send them to death? ”

Qiu Yu: "Also, it is possible that the food problem is the main reason for Yingying's action, hahahahaha......"

I almost forgot that they were in the Yu Dynasty, where there were no sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and hybrid rice.

Qiu Yu knew something about Lu Ying, and knew that this kid was also good at math, and he could do high school math problems for him, and he also paid special attention to numbers when governing people's livelihood.

As a result, Lu Ying found out about the rapid increase in population, he finally bulldozed the vegetable shop, but the people below began to give birth like crazy, many girls on the street have a big belly, Yingying's mood is estimated to be the same as driving a big truck on the winding mountain road, and inadvertently found that the speed has reached two hundred miles of novice drivers.

Although the car does not have the tendency to rush off the highway and fall off the cliff for the time being, cautious drivers will have a sense of crisis.

Qiu Yu suddenly asked, "Does he have any plans to control the population?" ”

Wang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Young Master Sun only said that Mrs. Hua told the women when to have sex for contraception, and that women under the age of sixteen were not allowed to have biological children, so as to save too much labor in childbirth."

force, but I didn't say that everyone might be born, it seems that I plan to send more people to Nanyang in the future. ”

Qiu Yu understood, Yingying's driver had a sense of danger, but he still wanted to explode the population, so as to occupy the land in Nanyang, and if he wanted to run a place into a Han family's familiar land, he had to make the Han people the main ethnic group there, so he just stepped on the brakes slightly, but he didn't plan to stop.

In ancient times, there was a saying that to judge when it was prosperous, it depends on the fertility rate of that era, and only when the days are better will everyone dare to have children, and the ruler who has made a difference will expand his territory, so he will vigorously support fertility, so that the local population will run the newly occupied places.

Qin Zhanying in history is also this practice, under his governance, the population of the Yu Dynasty doubled, but unfortunately the population has risen, but the territory has been lost by the descendants, resulting in the late Yu Dynasty The land can not bear so many people, a natural disaster, "the year of hunger cannibalism" will come.

Qiu Yu: "Yingying always sees farther than us, and he should have a long-term plan for the development of Qiongya Island. ”

Wang Xiaoyi agreed: "That's true, Young Master Sun has issued an official document informing the counties that after the New Year's Festival, in addition to busy spring ploughing, it is also necessary to map out the land suitable for land reclamation, and then estimate how much population in the county will reach in three to five years, how much farmland will be reclaimed, how much silk, salt, and sugar will be produced, how to bring the whole county out of poverty, set a goal, write a charter and hand it over, and do this before June." ”

This is Lu Ying's consistent style, he is used to planning everything in advance, and the division of responsibilities is clear, so he will hand over things to his subordinates to do, and make time for himself to fish and maintain health.

With his delicate body and bones, he can't do it if he doesn't learn to touch fish, and other emperors will die early at most, if Lu Ying wants to do this, he will die if he tries it.

Thinking that after the Spring Festival was Lu Ying's birthday, after picking the pig, Qiu Yu thought about it, took another cow out, and took out a bottle from his arms.

I don't know what kind of material the bottle is made of, it is very tight, and when you open it, you need to use a key, it seems to be specially made.

Wang Xiaoyi glanced at it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Qiu Yu said calmly: "This is the last hole card when I walk the rivers and lakes, if anyone pushes me to a dead end, I will open this thing and throw it out." ”

When Wang Xiaoyi heard this, he inexplicably remembered that Lu Ying lightly instructed people: "Hang those people's heads, remember to marinate them with quicklime before hanging, Qiongya Island is too warm, and everything rots quickly." ”

It was the fierceness hidden under the calm exterior, like the cold of the blade when reaping life.

I didn't expect Young Master Qiu to have this coldness as well.

Wang Xiaoyi swallowed his saliva, and remembered that Qiu Yu was a doctor, so he guessed: "This is ...... Poison? ”

Qiu Yu: "It's not poison, it's sores, when I was a child, I knew that my family was a martial arts family, and I was always afraid that there would be an enemy to destroy me, so I prepared this thing, and when I was in a hurry, I opened it and threw it out, and everyone didn't want to live." ”

Wang Xiaoyi immediately crawled away from Qiu Yu more than ten meters away.

Abductive sores are also known as Tianhua, in ancient times, this was a terrifying epidemic that was enough to slaughter the city, and suddenly knew that Qiu Yu was carrying such a dangerous thing, Wang Xiaoyi couldn't wait to escape eight hundred miles away!

Qiu Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't be afraid, I'm doing business outside, haven't I seen anything in the car and boat shop?" I've restrained myself from touching the contents of this bottle for so many years, and now I won't use it, you should believe me. ”

He is not an anti-human monster, and when he gets rid of the uneasiness caused by the crossing of the water, Qiu Yu knows that he will never touch the contents of this bottle, at most he will hold the bottle and threaten others to cough it up.

Qiu Yu said, rolled up his sleeves, and showed Wang Xiaoyi a thumb-sized cross scar on his arm: "And as long as you are vaccinated with cowpox, you don't have to worry about sores anymore, I plan to send a cow with pox to Yingying as a birthday gift." ”

Hearing Lu Ying's name, Wang Xiaoyi plucked up the courage to come back.

He said solemnly: "Young Master Qiu, if you want to let such a dangerous thing go to the island, I can't do it in a county, if there is any case, it will be a disaster for the whole island, and this matter must be reported to the master's family." ”

Qiu Yu understood Yu Chao's taboo against the epidemic, and he nodded: "No problem." ”

The matter was discussed, but Qiu Yu never thought that Lu Ying would come over in person.

Lu Ying loves to see her mother dressed up beautifully, since Lu Xiaoxuan came back, the villain has made a lot of money by herself, and she died

People made a lot of luxurious and beautiful dresses for their mothers to wear for the New Year, expensive gold, silver and jade, and new jewelry were sent directly by the box, but they loved to wear plain.

is at the tail of the Spring Festival, the joy has not faded, Lu Ying only wore a light blue cloak, wearing a cyan jacket inside, holding a hand stove with cloud patterns in his hand, and when he got off the boat, a strand of hair was blown by the sea breeze on his cheeks, and he was brushed behind his ears.

The child's jet-black hair was tied with a jade crown, and a little fox hairpin carved from an amethyst was inserted, Qiu Yu saw that Officer Lu had worn it, and he thought, maybe Yingying's hair today was combed by her mother.

This kid is really getting better and better every year.

The little boy walked up to Qiu Yu, and his quiet black eyes were printed with the lights on the shore and Qiu Yu's figure.

"Where's the cow?"

Qiu Yu came back to his senses and replied: "I have already planted the cow with pox, if your family is not at ease, you can wait for me to give others seeds and confirm that it is safe." ”

Lu Ying smiled lightly, and her voice was soft and beautiful: "Haven't you already vaccinated yourself?" I knew it was safe, and I asked Mrs. Hua, and she said that I was doing well, so I guess I would be fine with vaccinia. ”

Qiu Yu was surprised: "You want to be vaccinated?" Why don't you let someone else try it first? ”

Lu Ying glanced at him: "You said it was safe, why should I bother with that?" And I took the cowpox well, and when other people on Qiongya Island want to plant pox, there will be no objections. ”

Qiu Yu: "Then ...... your grandfather?"

Lu Ying said calmly: "When I said I was going to Nanyang, my grandfather was not happy, did you see that he stopped me?" ”

As he grows older, Lu Ying has more and more power in his hands, where he wants to go and what he does, Grandpa Lu doesn't say that he stops him, it's good to know at the last moment.

As for Yingying's mother, Officer Lu has always been worried that his son like a little glass man can't get any reliable vaccines in ancient times, and Qiu Yu has given the whole cowpox, of course she is happy to have it, if it weren't for Lu Ying asking her to drag Lu Fang at home, she would have come to get vaccinated with her son!

However, because everyone didn't want Lu Ying to risk his life, he didn't bring Lanshan, Lanxi, and Jiang Ping when he came over this time, but only Hua Meijing and an old man who claimed to be Wen Yuyun, as well as two young men with white faces and beards, who looked different from normal men.

Lu Ying said that Mr. Wen was his mother's colleague in the court, and now he went to Qiongya Island to retire and teach Yingying to study by the way, and the other two were named Feng Zheng and Zhu Dawu, and after their mother won the battle, the emperor rewarded them to their family, and Lu Xiaoxuan asked them to serve Yingying.

Although Lu Ying didn't know why the emperor sent eunuchs to his house, after all, he wanted to install nails in their house, wouldn't it be okay to send a belt?

Qiu Yu can guess a little, Wen Yuyun is the name of the Ministry of Works, and the head of the faction where his father Qiu Prefect is located was a political enemy, and Ying Ying's real identity is the clan.

The news that the emperor was cuckolded and sterile was also heard by Dongbin, so after determining that he could not have an heir, he sent teachers and eunuchs to Lu Ying, who brought large territories such as Qiongya Island and Nanyang, to him, I am afraid that he was cultivated as a hidden dragon.

Qiu Yu didn't break this matter, compared to the hidden dragon who didn't hide the dragon, Lu Ying's trust, and the fact that he personally came to vaccinate cowpox as soon as he heard about cowpox, and was determined to promote cowpox on Qiongya Island, made Qiu Yu feel that there were warm things in his heart.

The kid really believed in him.

And in the face of the extremely high-risk pox associated with abduction sores, Lu Ying dared to stand up and set an example for everyone, which made Qiu Yu completely separate Lu Ying from the other rulers at this moment.

Yingying, you are still the ruler, but you have put those people in your heart, you treat them as human beings, in your heart, people should be well fed and clothed, so in order to give them a "human" life, you will lose your temper before the New Year and kick your subordinates to Dongbin to purchase supplies.

You are cautious about the lives of the people, so you choose to be the first to be vaccinated with cowpox.

Qiu Yu looked at Lu Ying quietly and leaned over: "Do you want to hug it?" ”

Lu Ying opened her arms and was picked up by Qiu Yu, her soft little body naturally leaned on his arms, and she was carried by Qiu Yu through the brightly lit streets and alleys.

In the corners of the road and houses, there are still dead people, broken limbs, darkness, and dirt, but when holding Yingying, Qiu Yu is very relieved.

The vaccination was scheduled at noon the next day, and Lu Ying ate the food cooked by Qiu Yu herself

Light and nourishing meals, rolled up sleeves, revealing white thin arms.

Qiu Yu carefully drew a cross on his arm and planted cowpox for the villain's family.

Lu Ying's empty hand took out a small sandalwood Mazu statue from her arms, closed her eyes, and muttered a prayer: "Mazu Niangniang bless, ancestors bless." ”

Qiu Yu: ...... So you're afraid.

Oops, seeing Yingying who was so scared that he trembled slightly, he actually felt more cute!

Qiu Yu couldn't help but smile and bandaged Lu Ying's wounds, hugged Lu Ying into his arms, and gently patted his little head: "Okay, it's okay, it's okay, observe for another two or three days, if even you are fine, the safety of cowpox can be guaranteed." ”

Feng Zheng also folded his hands and prayed for Lu Ying, and his mouth read from the god Mazu rain to the Jade Emperor.

Zhu Dawu also made a look, but he looked at Lu Ying's eyes, with a sense of admiration, as a disciple of the general, seeing Lu Ying who dared to deliver trust and took the lead in danger, Zhu Dawu agreed with this new master in his heart.

This little man is too many!

Wen Yuyun followed Lu Ying for a while, saying that he was teaching him to read, but in fact he was doing the housekeeping thing, and at this moment, seeing Lu Ying nervous with a cute little appearance, a touch of relief appeared on his face.

The old man didn't know what the qualifications of the other clan disciples who were called into Beijing were, but none of them were better than Lu Ying, and now, he saw in Lu Ying a qualification that was more precious than intelligence.

That is the responsibility of the monarch.
