Regarding the taro bricks, I knew it as soon as I saw Fourth Master, but I still didn't take it too seriously.
The Fourth Master laughed and said, "It's just a trial. It's spring now. Where can I get you some taro for trial? If so, there must be seeds in the capital. If you look back, you can plant them not only in the mansion, but also in the surrounding ponds and rivers."
, Is it possible to ask others to plant them?"
That’s all!
The Fourth Master tapped her nose and said, "Others are doing it slowly, so we are not in a hurry. Otherwise, follow me and take a look at the surrounding rivers."
Need a water diversion channel?
"Looking at the direction of the water, you can judge the underground water layer and dig a well!"
Understand! Just don’t strive for benefits for the people!
As soon as the Fourth Master went there, Emperor Wen Zhao called the two bosses from the Ministry of Works, "This is business, we won't be able to finish the work later, I'll give it to you." After that, he called Erlang again: "Follow me! Bring some more."
personal."
Erlang responded and followed quickly.
The river is a bit far away, but it only takes a quarter of an hour to ride across.
Erlang said: "It can't be said far!"
Tongtong looked back, "It's not the distance, it's the terrain! It's high over there and very uneven, making it impossible to irrigate."
It’s true!
A group of people got off their horses. The river was neither strong nor deep. It could only irrigate the villages along the river. The terrain on this side of the river was a bit steep, but on the other side it was a gentle slope. Many village women were washing clothes by the river, separated by more than ten meters of water.
The distance was such that each other could see each other. This group of people had no interest in the village women, so they had to walk along the river to have a look. This place is deep and shallow, so the Fourth Master even picked up a stick and looked into the river.
Tongtong really didn’t understand what Tan. was doing. She saw some wormwood sprouts popping up by the river, so she squatted down and picked at the thing. The fourth master was about to leave, so she followed him. Erlang was afraid that she would get lost.
He walked very slowly, always behind her.
Tongtong laughed, "It's okay, just listen to what they say! I don't understand, so I'm too lazy to pass by. Can I still throw it away?"
"I don't understand either." Erlang took the dish from Tongtong's hand, "Can you eat it?"
"Yes! I'll do it tonight." Tongtong stopped, not delaying Erlang's contact with officials from the Ministry of Industry.
The two followed at the end, and when they turned a corner, the river bank formed by the river channel became more crowded, and along the bank, wild vegetables grew more luxuriantly.
As soon as they turned the corner, they found several people hundreds of meters away.
He hadn't heard any noise before, so he was really startled when they met. Erlang hurriedly walked to the front, "Don't rush over there."
It's okay! It's just a few girls picking wild vegetables... and a man.
As he was talking, the man came over. He was dressed in a short-gown dress, but he had a touch of elegance for no reason. He was still far away from where he could shoot, so he knelt down from a distance and kowtowed his head on the ground.
, not moving anywhere.
Erlang narrowed his eyes, and felt that this person seemed familiar. He did not ask anyone to come closer, and only said: "Sir, please be busy, we are just passing by."
The man stood up, obediently stepped aside and knelt down.
When Tongtong passed by, his eyes fell on this person's face, and then he frowned in his mind: Why is he here?
This person is none other than Mr. Liu, Han Zongmin's staff.
We still don’t know what this person’s name is, but there is a portrait of this person in the information sent by shopkeeper Chen. He is a good painter, he is very good at capturing people’s characteristics, and he will never admit his mistakes.
I'm afraid he wants to find someone else!
The Holy Master personally plowed the land and brought so many people with him. Apart from watching the excitement, he had a purpose. This person called a man with thick mud, which showed that he had been wandering in the river for a long time. What was he doing? Tongtong guessed Qian
What I was doing was the same thing as Fourth Master, surveying hydrology and choosing a location to drill a well.
He is very smart and knows that the wasteland is short of water. The amount of water in the river is limited, and there is no way to divert aqueducts to it, so the only choice is to dig wells.
Having guessed this, he would be fully prepared and wait for the chance encounter, and then wait for the Fourth Master to take the initiative to ask him.
But the fourth master...even if he wanted to use it, he wouldn't ask him now. He had been told to do it all, and he really thought how capable he was.
As we passed by, the girls picking wild vegetables over there might not be aware of the situation, but they were still kneeling by the side and no one looked up.
Tongtong took the initiative to go over to make sure these people were really just picking wild vegetables or people with ulterior motives. She only went there to inquire about the situation, "Are all ladies from the area?"
Yes! Most of the ladies only dared to raise their eyes and do it secretly. Although one woman was nervous, she still answered boldly, "...the other sisters are all from the village, and the folk girls moved from Yuci County for thousands of years."
.”
"Why did you move here?"
The woman's voice was a little shaky, "My family was originally engaged in farming. Later, my younger brother joined the army and was stationed nearby... I made some money, so I sent a message to my family to come. Many people living here now are from the army."
His family members. Therefore, they moved here."
Tongtong asked the other girls, "Is that true?"
So true!
Tongtong nodded, telling the truth. She asked by the way, "Is the river water enough for irrigation?"
"It's not enough when the water is dry!" It was the woman who spoke again, and then pointed at the kneeling man, "That man seems to know how to look at wells, and he also asked us about it just now."
As she spoke, she raised her head and pointed in that direction. Tongtong was really stunned for a moment.
The commoner and jing skirt actually look good.
What does it mean to be bright and kind? This is it!
Tongtong looked back, and the Fourth Master glanced away and looked away, and then his eyes were full of questions: Who is causing trouble again?
If you leave a beauty halfway, is this a sign of good luck?
Tongtong laughed and shook her head slightly: We don't know if her family has this idea, but this girl really doesn't see any problem.
It’s just...simply good-looking!
No wonder her family would move. If there is a girl with such a look, the family will have no power and no peace of mind. It was because his brother came here for a change of defense that the whole family moved here.
It has always been thought that her brother should have a high-level military official position.
She walked back with a smile. The two elders were shocked and looked away. Zhi Erlang turned his face to the side when he was staring at him, and then he stretched out his hand to pull Tongtong, "Are you a spy?"
no!
"Are you here for Shiro?"
Shiro decided to go out suddenly, and no one knew it in advance! With her appearance, her family may just want to have a good marriage, and they are not sure who they will meet.
Erlang was relieved. As long as he was not a spy or came for Shiro, it would be fine!
He asked, "You shouldn't be engaged, right?"
Tongtong pulled him: "Let's go! This girl comes from a peasant family. She only has one brother who is said to be stationed nearby. He has always had a military position, but he is also very young. How old is he?"
He was stunned and pulled Erlang away, "Don't be a loser! Be careful, I'll go back and file a complaint."
Erlang whispered: "Have you forgotten about the prevarication about the Han family's marriage? You have been busy recently, so you probably don't know. I heard from Xiao Wu that the old princess is said to be ill and wants to celebrate the wedding..."
Tongtong rolled her eyes at him: "Stop talking nonsense! The wedding is for Zhao Defeng and Cheng Song, what does it have to do with you."
Erlang choked: "What's wrong with you? Can you help me?"
What to do about this matter?
"You forgot that when you saw Shiro, you saw the bones of the pug."
Just when Tongtong was about to retort, the Fourth Master coughed heavily: It's not over, right? Is it correct or not? There are people from the Ministry of Industry following him, and they are talking about what they are talking about.
The two old men looked at the sky, the earth, and then at the quietly flowing river.
Although the reputation of the Crown Princess has been heard for a long time, we actually don’t really believe it. I said before that the head of the county asked King Yong to go to this and that place in the carriage, and the carriage swayed for a long time. Is this... true?
It must be true!
Ouch! If I had known that the free-spirited lady was so attractive, why would I have restrained my granddaughter?
Tongtong quickly interrupted: "If you two gentlemen know who has a beautiful girl, you might as well become a matchmaker."
The old man said, "There are still two granddaughters waiting to be given birth to in the family."
The old man said, "I have seven pearls in my house."
Tongtong poked Erlang: "Did you hear that? There are many good girls."
Erlang didn't seem to be very shameless about this matter, and asked directly: "Don't compare with that lady, just compare with Chu Heng, how about it? As long as I can be on par with Chu Heng, I will accept the marriage."
The two elders knew it was a joke, so they just laughed and didn't answer. Tongtong glared at Erlang: Who are you calling ugly?
Erlang took Tongtong and walked towards the house and asked the girl: "My sister is shy and doesn't like to talk. She asked me to ask, what's your last name? What's your profession? Where do you live?" "Tongtong:" That girl
Her face turned red, "The civilian girl's surname is Li Xingsan, so Li Sanniang is my daughter."
Li Sanniang.
Erlang remembered, "See you later."
After leaving, Erlang had long forgotten the gentleman who blocked his way along the way, and only said this to Fourth Master: "You have to speak in front of your father, the emperor, and your mother. Both the father and the empress have said that they don't care about family status.
.”
He thought simply, "You don't have to be picky about your family background! But what about people? When you enter our family, ordinary people can figure it out? My sister-in-law may not seem to have a high family background, but in fact, both her father's and mother's families are not ordinary people. Where is the upbringing?
It's here. No matter how bad the foster family is, it's still a family of officials. A smart person will understand this kind of favours. If you get someone who is from a peasant family, Concubine Gao will be furious."
Hey! This doesn’t make sense anymore!
It doesn't make sense to you. I'll go directly to someone who can make the decision.
When he got back, he went directly to see Emperor Wen Zhao and the Queen. As soon as the fourth master told Emperor Wen Zhao the approximate location of the well, Emperor Wen Zhao quickly made arrangements. The matter here is over, let's go to work!
As a result, Erlang refused to leave and circled around his father and aunt, "I really like him! You have to agree."
Emperor Wen Zhao frowned: "The word "sexuality" is like a knife scraping a bone." "I see a lot of good-looking ladies. Is it because Chu Heng is not good-looking, or because Defeng is so ugly, or because the pearls of the Han family are not as precious as pearls...
…I have seen so many beautiful ladies that I can’t even count them! But none of them are suitable for me! This is the perfect match for me.” Erlang said, and looked at the queen for help, “Queen Mother!”
Such an old bastard, he has been brought up well by watching him grow up! Not to mention Concubine Gao, even the Queen felt anxious.
For such a big kid, he has always been straightforward! He just said what he wanted to say.
What do you call being a parent?
The queen said angrily: "Strong temperament is more important than anything else."
We must be able to get along! Erlang said: "She is not of high birth and looks outstanding. It is human nature to want to find a good marriage partner and seek protection.
If I get married, why won't she get along with me?" After saying that, he whispered again, "My temperament is here anyway, and I can't be polite to my sister-in-law like my elder brother."
You can't be as afraid of Chu Heng as Shiro is..."
Fourth Master and Tongtong, who were only five steps away from Emperor Wen Zhao and the Queen: "..." What nonsense are you talking about?
