Master Wang was shocked, "King Zhao dares to casually kill a state taishou who is a five-grade state?" ”

"It's not the previous dynasty, there are three hundred and thirty-six states in our dynasty, and there are more than three hundred people in Taishou alone, King Zhao has a flamboyant temperament, and in his eyes, a state Taishou is nothing. Not to mention that since ancient times, the struggle for succession is often accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, I am a small five-grade magistrate, and I have no reliable backer in the court, at this time, I dare to take the lead to send a threshing machine to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that may become the winner and loser, it is difficult to say that it will not become the target of King Zhao's anger. ”

Wang Taishou's tone was bitter, he sighed, and continued: "It's always my soft-spoken, as long as I don't take a clear stand, no matter whether King Zhao ascends the throne or the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the end, it won't have much impact on me." In my opinion, this succession battle will not last long, so be patient and wait and see.

As for the threshing machine, don't make a noise for the time being, tomorrow I will bring someone to the county order of Mingxia County to arrange for the group of disaster victims you said to settle down, and the eldest brother, you send someone to tell the farmer to be tighter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to him and his family. In addition, tell him that when the threshing machine is made and tested to be effective, and then give him a reward, it should be his credit, and I will not take it for myself, and I will naturally have merit if there is such a capable person under my rule. ”

The topic suddenly shifted from the high-ranking succession struggle to a poor boy who fled the famine, and Master Wang's mind almost didn't turn, and after a while, he hesitated and said: "Will it be abnormal for you to send someone to arrange for them to settle down?" What you just said is dangerous, and I am afraid that those who are interested will be suspicious. ”

"It's okay!" Wang Taishou waved his hand, his expression relaxed, "Isn't the eldest brother entrusted by the life-saving benefactor to take care of them, this is a ready-made reason." Although it depends on how the imperial court decides how these victims will be resettled, it is not a problem for me to arrange a dozen or so households. Not to mention him, what are the next plans for the eldest brother, does he plan to settle in Yuezhou, or go back to Huzhou after a while? ”

"Of course, I will go back to Huzhou, our ancestors are all in Fuping County, if it weren't for the plague, I wouldn't have dragged my family away." Master Wang said as a matter of course.

Wang Taishou nodded, "Then the eldest brother will live in Yuezhou for a while longer, I am away all the year round, our family is rarely reunited, and the eldest brother can also take the opportunity to take his father and mother around and enjoy the scenery of Yuezhou." ”

"Of course, my father also said that this time I came to you, I must inquire about the opinion of your ruling party in the people, if it is not good, he will inevitably teach you a lesson."

Wang Taishou laughed, "Father Lao is worried, the eldest brother can take his father to inquire more, and the younger brother thinks that he is a good official." ”

There is no reliable backer in the DPRK, he has been able to govern the party from the top of the five grades for more than ten years, but he does not just rely on the flattery of the horse, he thinks that he is still upright and has some ability.

Of course, there is also the luck of meeting a boss who appreciates him.

……

The next day, two fast horses set off from the state city, and arrived at the county government of Mingxia County in less than half a day, and the matter of Li Ping'an and others settling in Zhutao Village was solved on the same day.

Li Ping'an also got the instructions of Master Wang, but he didn't take it too seriously, he never thought that he could make a threshing machine, besides, it doesn't matter to the people who is the emperor, that's not what they need to care about, what they care about is how to be fed and clothed.

After sending away Steward Wang, their newly settled family hurriedly began to build a house and reclaim wasteland.

It's a hot summer, and the house will be rebuilt after the autumn harvest, so the bamboo house doesn't need to be built too well, and it is enough to have a roof with four walls to protect from the wind and rain. Within a few days, more than a dozen green bamboo houses were built on the wasteland at the end of the village, which was originally overgrown with wild grasses.

Before moving into the bamboo house, the men who had a head started to open up the wasteland non-stop, and the first thing they picked was the reclamation of the wasteland that was originally farmland and is now abandoned. Compared with the newly reclaimed wasteland, these fields that have been abandoned for more than ten years are more fertile, easy to divert water, and relatively easy to reclaim.

In order to allow them to grow rice faster, Li Jianghe also lent them the cattle in the village. According to Li Jianghe, the cow was lent to them by the government, and each village has one.

Over the years, in order to encourage the population to have children and sow more fields, the magistrates of Yuezhou have been extremely attentive. This also made the people of Yuezhou have a high sense of identity and a strong sense of belonging to the Dajing Dynasty.

Li Ping'an has no feeling for farming, first, he really can't bear the hardships of farming, it's not that he is pampered or anything, in fact, even Li Erlin, a man in the prime of life who has been facing the loess with his back to the sky for half his life, is a little unbearable every time he works hard and harvests, and secondly, he is now busy with a thing that he thinks is more important than the small favor he can help with clearing the wasteland.

"Can these weeds really make something delicious?" Zhang Xiaoshan, who was pulled into the basket, looked at the weeds in the back basket and was full of suspicion.

Li Ping'an squinted, "You don't believe me?" ”

Then he turned his head to look at the grass girl with six small weeds on the other side, "Caoya, do you believe me?" ”

"I believe it!" Caoya replied categorically without thinking, "Brother Ping'an said that if you can make delicious food and sell it for money, you can definitely do it." ”

Li Ping'an suddenly despised Zhang Xiaoshan, "Zhang Xiaoshan, listen, you still play with me since I was a child, the grass girl believes me, you don't believe me!" ”

"Gotta get it, I believe it, I believe in you, come on." Zhang Xiaoshan confessed and diverted the topic, "But you should always tell me what kind of grass this is and what delicious it can make, right?" ”

Caoya laughed a few times, it used to be like this in the village, Brother Xiaoshan and Brother Ping'an always quarreled, and Brother Xiaoshan always couldn't quarrel with Brother Ping'an. Brother Xiaoshan also deserves it, Brother Ping'an said that he could sell things for money, but he didn't get the money any time, and he actually questioned Brother Ping'an.

However, she also has the same curiosity as Zhang Xiaoshan, what kind of delicious food Brother Ping'an will make with these grasses.

"Then I'll give you the knowledge of rising, the grass you picked is called Liangfen grass, and the one made from Liangfen grass is called Liangfen, so that the hot weather is the most suitable for eating Liangfen, both to cool off the heat and quench your thirst." Li Ping'an's demeanor was shy, he found that there were a lot of jelly grasses growing here on the second day of coming to Zhutao Village, and after asking someone to inquire, he found out that everyone still regarded these grasses as weeds, and he felt that this might be a business opportunity.

In his previous life, he picked up the jelly grass and made his own jelly from childhood to adulthood, both green and black, and when he was young, there were no good conditions at home, and it was purely handmade, and it was not a problem to reproduce it in this era.

The only thing to worry about is the acceptance of fresh food here, but that's also a problem that needs to be faced after it is made.
