Huang Taiji leaned on the couch, closing his eyes but unable to sleep, and his mind could not rest for a moment.
Xinming dealt with those officials with such great fanfare, almost clearing the eyes and ears of the Qing Dynasty who spent a lot of money to win over. What does this mean? It means that the previous guess was correct, and Chen Renxi was taken back by Xinming's people.
, And this person is very improper, and he did not hold it at all, which was recruited. The recruitment was so thorough.
Does the high-profile disposal have any other meaning?
Not bad!
For example, let the people know that the Qing Dynasty planted spies in the Xinming Dynasty! This will make the people have more ill feelings towards the Qing Dynasty. Is this a prelude to the use of weapons?
As long as the people support it, and as long as the people have such an attitude, Xinming will never hesitate again.
Therefore, the negotiations with Xinming must be answered as soon as possible! Each of these things shows that Xinming will use troops at any time.
Some business matters can be discussed, but the matter of protons really needs to be answered.
Among the princes now, the eighth prince is the most noble one.
Eighth elder brother - reluctant to part with it! The key is that Horqin's emotions have to be taken care of here. The Qing Dynasty is already weak, and if the relationship with Mongolia is not maintained, they may go to Xinming. Or, they will go to Xinming.
The separation between the two is a bad thing!
Therefore, after careful consideration, unless another elder brother emerges from Concubine Zhuang's belly, the eighth elder brother cannot be given away.
Who else could it be?
According to Xinming, if there is no legitimate son, the eldest son is valuable enough.
"Send Hauge?" The only adult son! But this son is not a king's material.
As soon as I thought about it, I felt that it was not possible. Hauge was planning to re-establish Zhenglan Banner, and then he would have to take over Zhenglan Banner. Where could there be a more suitable candidate than his own son?
While he was thinking about it, footsteps came from outside, and then he reported, "Your Majesty, something happened in the eldest brother's house."
What's wrong? Huang Taiji sat up suddenly, feeling a little dizzy. He swayed for a while before he regained his composure, "What's wrong with Hauge?"
"There was a fire in the eldest brother's house, and Fujin couldn't come out because he was in the fire!"
Huang Taiji was stunned. What kind of fire was this that could stop his master Fujin from getting out? No need to ask further, Fujin was killed by Hauge!
The reason is simply that she is Mangguji's daughter. Mangguji wanted to kill his emperor, and he couldn't leave this scourge alive. If one day he really attacked his father, he was afraid of regrets.
It's too late!
There was a fire... then it must have been a fire at that time!
Huang Taiji also rewarded Hauge with many things that he had confiscated from Mang Gurtai's house. "There must be a lot of losses in the fire. Please provide him with supplies."
So, this matter was really treated as a fire.
This matter was so confusing that I didn't sleep all night again. When I got up early, I heard that Xinming's envoys were packing their things, which meant that they were going back. Zhu Yuncang followed him into the palace and met Huang Taiji, "... the New Year is coming soon.
It’s time to go back! Let’s talk after the New Year.”
This is not about talking about it after the New Year, it is clearly after the New Year. After this cold season, I am afraid that there will be a war after the spring.
Huang Taiji had a look of sadness on his face, "In this way, it won't delay anything for two days. Let's sign all these agreements first. As for the proton matter... I agreed. It's just that Huang Age is young, it's cold today, and the road is long.
It's really inconvenient to be far away. Let's wait until spring next year. At least after the New Year, the weather will be a little warmer, so I'll send it to you."
Zhu Yuncang guessed that Concubine Zhuang might not be giving birth after the new year.
Eighty percent yes! As for whether it would be a lie to say that Zhuang Concubine Wan is not her elder brother, this is not the case! Huang Taiji is afraid that Xinming will support this proton in the future. By then, it will be really broken.
Woolen cloth.
If Concubine Zhuang gives birth to an elder brother, then it will depend on who Huang Taiji favors and whose rank is higher. This is not something that the family needs to worry about. As long as they agree, it is okay to postpone the delivery. This is a trivial matter.
What Huang Taiji had agreed to, turned around and still spread the word. Naturally, the news came to the harem!
Since hearing the news, Hai Lanzhu has been feeling worse. She stared at the eighth elder brother with a keen eye, as if the child would be taken away the next moment. Zhou Yufeng watched over the mother and child every day, comforting and saying, "...
After the New Year, it’s time for Concubine Zhuang to give birth..."
But didn't everyone in the palace say that Concubine Zhuang's reaction was the same as when she gave birth to Gege before, and there was a high probability that this time it would be Gege again.
Therefore, the person the emperor said he would send away after the New Year must be my eighth elder brother.
Zhou Yufeng said in a low voice, "Empress, the first and second concubines of Horqin only have this one brother. If Concubine Zhuang has Princess in her belly, then our eighth brother will be even more precious! Even if the emperor wants to give it to him, it has to be seen.
Horqin will agree or not!" Horqin is more important than before, so your mother's family's attitude is very important!
Yes! And Horqin, I will send someone to send a message to Abba right now.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when wind and snow blocked the road, Horqintaiji hurriedly hurried and only reached Shengjing at the end of the first year.
In the main hall, in front of all the ministers of the dynasty, Horqintaiji said bluntly: "No matter which elder brother you send, you can't send it to the eighth elder brother!"
Don't talk about Huang Taiji, just ask who sitting here can feel comfortable?
This is a last resort, there is no other way, right? At this time, it is time to work together in the same boat! The eighth prince is precious, so why can’t he give it to him?
If he really gave away his eighth elder brother, didn’t the emperor know that he wanted Horqin’s woman to have another elder brother?
Hauge was annoyed at the time, "Taiji, what do you mean? It's a royal matter..."
"Hauge!" Huang Taiji stopped Hauge, "Don't lie in vain."
Hauge was so angry that he turned his face aside.
There was a stalemate in the front. In the harem, Hai Lanzhu hugged the eighth prince and knelt outside the queen's palace, "...Auntie can't tolerate our mother and son! In this case, we can just die together! Who wants to
Separate our mother and son, and come and collect the bodies of our mother and son."
Zhezhe was so angry at this bastard that he was dizzy. Concubine Zhuang supported her belly, which was about to give birth, and comforted Zhezhe first, "Auntie, please don't be angry. I'll go and reason with my sister."
Zhezhe waved his hand, and Concubine Zhuang turned around and walked out.
Concubine Nang Nang played with the bracelet on her wrist and said sarcastically, "How do you say this? If Concubine Zhuang has an elder brother in her belly, nothing will happen."
Concubine Zhuang paused and put her hand on her belly. Then she stepped steadily across the threshold and went outside to see Hai Lanzhu kneeling on the ground, "Sister, please get up..."
Hai Lanzhu raised his head and said, "Because I gave birth to a son, my aunt and you don't like me. Because my son is not raised by my aunt, you are going to send my son away?"
Concubine Zhuang asked, "Who told you that your aunt is going to raise your son? If the aunt is willing, some people will give their sons to the aunt to raise. Get up, isn't this matter undecided?" It is a fact that the child is small, this is
Things that can be put off. If you can put it off for half a year, you can put it off for a year. If you can put it off for a year, you can put it off for two years. When you want to leave, but the child gets sick, has a fever, and can't move, this is a ready excuse.
Let's go! If you wait for a year or two, maybe you can have another child, or maybe one of the Mongolian concubines in the palace will give birth to a brother. For example, Concubine Nang Nang, her son is more valuable than our son, call her
Go live! This is something you can do if you don't rush, don't panic, just hold on steady. Why are you so anxious?
But in this public place, these words cannot be said clearly.
She said: "Sister, get up. I will take you back to the palace, but I won't take you back to the palace. I will explain this to you slowly when I get back."
Don’t go!
Hai Lanzhu pushed away Concubine Zhuang's extended hand and said, "You have always been smarter than me, but I can't calculate against you. I don't believe a word of your words!"
Carrying it to death!
Concubine Zhuang frowned and wanted to say more. Su Ma hurried in, leaned over and whispered: "Master, Taiji is here, and he is making trouble with the emperor in front."
For the eighth prince’s sake?
Yes!
"Confused!" Although the Qing Dynasty is not Xinming's opponent, it is still more than enough to deal with Horqin. If you don't obey, Taiji will take charge of it. This is stupid!
She was so anxious that her stomach ached, "Let's go! Help me to the front."
Gege!
"Let's go!" Concubine Zhuang supported Su Ma and walked forward step by step. When they arrived outside the main hall, Concubine Zhuang shouted without waiting for the announcement, "Your Majesty, I've had people take a look. This concubine in my belly... is a...
Brother, I pray to the emperor that when I give birth to my elder brother, please allow me to follow my elder brother to Xinming to take care of him. Once my elder brother is settled, I will return home!"
Huang Taiji was stunned, and everyone in the hall was stunned!
Before she could react, Su Ma shouted, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is about to give birth..."
We can't go back to the harem! Hurry! Hurry! Arrange in the apse.
Huang Taiji followed in, and Concubine Zhuang took Huang Taiji's hand, "...it's about to give birth, and the wet nurse is in Yongfu Palace. This wet nurse has given birth to an elder brother..."
This means that if the child is Gege, they are said to be twins, and they will be repaid as the wet nurse's son.
But what if...
Concubine Zhuang said in a low voice, "What if... in a few years it will be said that the child is not in good health, or his ears can't hear properly, or his eyes can't see clearly... There must be a reason... Otherwise, it's his fault!
"As she spoke, she frowned and held Huang Taiji's hand tightly, "If it's my elder brother, I will take our ninth elder brother to Xinming... I asked for the child to be sent there.
Concubine has selfish motives. Horqin gave birth to concubine and raised concubine. This time, concubine gave up her son in order to protect Horqin! If concubine does not follow the child, I am afraid that the child will hate concubine in the future! Concubine will have three
Princess is entrusted to the emperor and aunt... to guard our ninth brother... From now on, I will be in Xinming, waiting for the emperor to pick up my concubine and the child every day..."
Huang Taiji put his forehead against Concubine Zhuang's, "Okay! I'll remember it. I won't forget to pick you up even one day..."
Concubine Zhuang pushed Huang Taiji, "Your Majesty, go outside...wait..."
good!
So, many people were waiting. This was the dawn of the next day. It was extremely difficult for this child to come. When the sun jumped out of the horizon early in the morning, and the fiery red sunlight filled the palace, there was a loud cry of a baby.
Break this anxiety.
Congratulations to Your Majesty - Congratulations to Your Majesty - Concubine Zhuang has given birth to her ninth elder brother -
In full view of everyone, the unwashed baby was taken out.
God bless, this is a newly born child. Concubine Zhuang really gave birth to a brother, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a misfortune.
But at this difficult moment, Concubine Zhuang stepped forward and volunteered as a pledge. This is justice!
While Su Ma was cleaning Concubine Zhuang, she whispered, "Gege...why bother?"
Concubine Zhuang looked calm and said, "Advance and retreat have to be measured, and you have to think about it."
The slave doesn't understand.
"Sometimes it is not a good thing to just keep advancing! On the contrary, taking a step back may seem like a bad thing, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. What you give up today is to gain tomorrow!" She did not feel tired after giving birth to a child, and her eyes were filled with tears.
On the contrary, it has a bit more vitality.
Su Ma whispered, "Then this...isn't a bad thing?"
Concubine Zhuang shook her head, "You have to treat this as the worst thing in the world! Do you understand?"
Understand!
The people were moved back to Yongfu Palace, and there was an endless stream of people coming to visit.
Zhezhe said, "Why are you so impulsive? Things can be arranged slowly..."
"Auntie! Horqin was impulsive this time, you have to speak up about it! You must never do this again. Other tribes may be able to sway you, but Horqin can't!" After saying that, he held Zhezhe's hand and said, "Really!"
If it were Horqin... Auntie, we would die without a burial place!"
Zhezhe shuddered, "I know! I know! I'll tell your father."
"Betraying the Qing Dynasty and liaising with the Xinming Dynasty, Horqin will not get more than what he has now, but will incur a full-scale counterattack by the Qing Dynasty! So, now that you have made your choice, don't cause trouble again! The more the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are in the same situation,
When you are at a disadvantage, Horqin must be more respectful. To scare the monkeys, you have to prevent the emperor from using Horqin to establish his power! Please tell my words to my father! As Horqin's daughter, this is the last thing I can do for Horqin!"
Good boy! Horqin will always owe you! Don’t worry, I will always remind the emperor that as long as another high-status elder brother is born in the palace, you and our ninth elder brother will come back.
"My aunt is here, I feel relieved."
Zhezhe left, and Hai Lanzhu came. She was a little embarrassed and restless, "I'm not... I'm not forcing you to leave..."
"Sister!" Concubine Zhuang took her hand, "I don't blame you! Sister can't live without the emperor or eighth brother. Without anyone, you will be worse than dead. I know what sister thinks! It's just that sister is simple and treats those around her
People should still be a little wary."
Hai Lanzhu kept nodding, thinking that she was talking about Concubine Nang Nang's arrangement, so she responded: "You must be careful! In the future, I will often mention you to the emperor."
Concubine Zhuang shook her head, "As long as my sister is doing well, the less he pays attention to us, the easier our life in Xinming will be."
Uh-huh, I'm sure I won't mention it too much. After saying that, he grabbed a purse and said, "There are banknotes in it, so I'll give them to you." Then he stood up awkwardly, "I...I...I'm leaving then...
…”
good!
Concubine Nangnang came to see her and sighed, "You are a rare courageous person. I think I like you a little bit! It's not that bad to go to Xinming. The queen is a very interesting person. You should interact with her more."
Look, it won’t do any harm to our ninth elder brother.”
Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, "I hope your Majesty will give Brother Ninth Brother a little brother as soon as possible."
The imperial concubine laughed, "Yes! Yes!" Horqin's woman had two sons, and it was her turn.
Dorgon and Duduo's Fu Jin came to see her, and Concubine Zhuang said this, "From now on, take care of your own fathers and don't worry too much about your natal family."
Fourteenth Fujin said, "It was a letter from the palace over there, and it almost caused a big mess."
Fifteen Fujin said angrily, "It was nothing, but the empress and brother Jiu were sent to..."
Concubine Zhuang sighed, "That's why I don't trust you. In the palace, you often go to the queen's place to walk around. My sister is a person who is easily influenced by others and has difficulty controlling her emotions. Her mind is extremely delicate and sensitive, and sometimes her words are wrong.
, she is prone to overthinking.”
We know this, but we have never dared to get close to him, right?
I talked a lot about myself, and during the month, people came to visit almost every day. After the month of confinement, it was also the end of February and the beginning of March. Although it was a cold spring outside, I heard that Xinming was allocating supplies in the customs.
Stop, Concubine Zhuang didn't delay after all, she asked for an order to go to Xinming as a pledge!
Huang Taiji held his one-month-old son in his arms and said after a long time: "Let's name him Fulin."
Okay! Let’s call it Fulin.
Then Fourth Master and Tongtong received the credentials, and the Qing Dynasty sent the ninth prince Fulin as a hostage. Since the prince was young, his biological mother, Concubine Zhuang, followed to take care of the prince.
There was a letter of credence between the two of them, and they looked at each other, and it was really delivered like this.
What's going on?
Since Concubine Zhuang is following her, it cannot be said that she is raising a child in the palace. This is not appropriate.
Lin Yutong said, "After the Marquis of Jinghai won the title, everyone went back to their hometowns. The Marquis's mansion has only been vacant for a few days, so it's easy to clean it up and place it there. How about asking the Red Lady to send a team of female guards?"
"
This is to prevent anyone from making unprovoked attacks on Concubine Zhuang's personal life.
Fourth Master scratched his head, okay! Just settle down like this.
On March 15th, Concubine Zhuang and her ninth elder brother Fulin entered the palace of Xinming. The queen of Xinming stood on the steps to greet them with a smile. As soon as she entered, she called the imperial doctor.
, for medical treatment.
The imperial doctor said that the child was cold, which was probably due to the physical condition of the wet nurse, and that the wet nurse would also need to be nursed back to health. He also said that Concubine Zhuang was overthinking and overworked, so she had to take good care of her for half a year.
Lin Yutong explained the arrangement, "The palace is beautifully built, and the courtyard is good. It has a suitable courtyard for heating in winter and respite from the heat in summer, which is most suitable for maintaining health. All expenses in the palace are from the prince to the bodyguards.
We are all for the female guards, so it is convenient for each other." After saying that, he smiled helplessly, "In the final analysis, the most innocent people in war are women and children. We have no intention of making things difficult! I know that Concubine Zhuang is a student of the Han family.
book, then you should know that the favorite word of the Han people is - harmony. Harmony is the most precious, and problems that can be solved with 'harmony' are not problems. But there is another kind of character that the Han people care about most.
, that’s integrity!”
Concubine Zhuang nodded slowly, she somewhat understood what the queen meant.
Because Concubine Zhuang was just out of confinement, and the journey was tiring, the two did not have a deep conversation. Lin Yutong sent someone to send Concubine Zhuang back properly.
The Marquis Mansion is indeed very nice. In the cold spring weather, we can't even wear big sweaters and clothes. As a result, the yard here is as warm as spring. Su Ma helped the wet nurse to remove the thick swaddling clothes from the ninth elder brother.
Older children also know that this is more comfortable and they can sleep comfortably and comfortably.
After Concubine Zhuang came out of her dressing room, Su Ma asked: "Gege, what did that queen... mean?"
Don't worry about what it means. We are new here, so let's wait and see! Haven't you heard what the imperial doctor said? You need to rest for half a year, so let's rest! Take good care of your children, take good care of your body, wait and see for the first half of a year, and then talk about it.
"Remember, don't rush everything! If you rush, you will easily make mistakes! Always do what is beneficial to you at the moment, and you will not be able to achieve great results. Su Ma, this is not the Qing Dynasty, you have to restrain yourself."
The slave has restrained himself a long time ago. Ever since he knew that the emperor wanted to put aside his own princess, he would just fall out with him at any time. How dare he not restrain himself? "The slave did not expect that the emperor will send it to you when he says it will be sent. When the empress comes, the emperor will do it."
accepted……"
Concubine Zhuang was speechless. She thought of the purchase accounts of the harem. The same medicinal materials had been purchased for several months, and they all had to be the best. The medicines used in each palace were well documented. Only the emperor used them.
There is no way to check the medicine. But as long as we rule it out, and then rule out the medicine that was given to me as a reward, the rest will be pretty much the same.
As for the medicinal materials used by the emperor, if you look through the book, you will know that they are all for treatment.
If you push it downwards like this, you can actually be sure that the emperor's body is damaged.
It’s hard to say what the future will be like! In the past, it was the Dorgon family that could dominate, but now, Fei Yanguo has suddenly emerged. She leaned on the bed and patted her son: The queen supports her in the palace, and Horqin will support this incident.
The ninth elder brother did not choose the eighth elder brother. Daishan had an extraordinary status in the clan. He only spoke fair words. He would not choose anyone else than himself and the ninth elder brother who had made sacrifices. Dorgon and Duo
Duo Nan said, these two people are too fickle and it's hard to control their attitudes. She values Fei Yanguo more than them now.
With such forces, Dorgon and Duoduo supported others, and they were able to compete with them.
When necessary, you can seek support from Xinming!
That night, she thought about it for half the night and listened to the sound of rain for half the night. When she got up early in the morning, the baby was taken to her grandma for breastfeeding. Su Ma came in and said, "I just gave rewards to the guards of the Detachment of Women. I heard them say that Xinming
The emperor and the empress have begun to plow the fields themselves again! It’s so lively outside that the emperor has to stay outside the city for a month.”
Yes! Personal farming has begun! This year's personal farming, all the ministers in the court thought they heard it wrong! The emperor said that each yamen has deployed personnel and sent them to farmers' homes to eat and live together to help the farmers.
.When you’re done, you’ll have to write down your thoughts and experiences.
Immediately after the list was sent out, there were people from every yamen. Hurry up and remember which village and which household they corresponded to.
Then the heads of various yamen were quick to call people over and ask them, what have you been doing, and why did the emperor name you? Does he want to focus on training you and promote you, or does he say that you are not good enough?
The one with long eyes has made the emperor unhappy again?
The emperor is actually a bit petty. He puts on your fair and honest shoes, and you have no place to complain if you have any grievances.
These people are still wondering, no! We are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic, how could we make the emperor unhappy?
So what kind of news have you made recently? On which matter have you expressed your opinion? Did the emperor suddenly realize that you are a talent?
No! Nothing special! Even the prince is not young anymore and it’s time to get married. Oh oh oh! Is that what happened?! Looking at these stupid subordinates who didn’t know why they were named,
The superior officials didn't say anything, but they all understood in their hearts that the emperor meant: You are so free that you even have to worry about my son getting a wife, so why don't you do something that will make you worry about hard work.
These people are very idle, they are not very good at business, but they are good in the field, so they have to be dealt with like this.
They were just gloating over their misfortune, saying that these people had had a hard time. But who would have thought that soon after, I heard that the emperor and the empress had asked people to build earthen houses on the newly found wasteland, and planned to live there. Follow the emperor's personal cultivation of everything
The noble civil and military ministers all followed the emperor and the empress and enjoyed the same treatment.
No? No? Just hearsay?
No! Really! The prince and his people had already left the city in advance and went to squat in some village. They also went to other people's houses to eat and live with them.
a bolt from the blue!
We don’t usually live a life of well-being, so what’s going on? Will this become normal in the future?
The fourth master and Tongtong were serious. They really built a lot of adobe houses with the same decoration as a farmhouse, but nothing else. They walked in rows, and there were three or five adults in one room, and they invited peasant women to cook. The house was
Whatever kind of food we have here, we will have that kind of food.
Before Geng Shuming left, he complained to Lin Erniang, "...it's enough for me to ask the minister to understand the hard work, but we can understand it. But, do you want to do it so seriously?"
Lin Erniang disliked his verbosity, "Everyone else is going, and you're not the only one. What's so wrong with you?" Then she asked, "Where's Qitai? Do you want to follow? Do you want to pick him up?"
Then do you think your queen sister will let her second prince play around at his age?
No one knows where the prince has gone. But the second prince is following the emperor and his empress.
The people below are really thinking of ways to see spinach growing in the front yard of the Emperor and Queen. It is covered with straw mats and can be eaten now. In the backyard, there are chickens, ducks, geese, and cattle and cows.
I have a few sheep, and both cows and sheep can be milked. I know that I will take care of the second prince, and I am afraid that the second prince will be wronged.
But Qitai wanted to cry when he saw that thing. It doesn't matter whether he eats eggs or not, and whether he drinks milk or not is a trivial matter. Because his mother said, "From now on, these chickens, ducks, geese, and cattle and sheep will be your job."
ah?
Ah what? Take your friends and herd the cows and sheep. During the break between herding the cows and the sheep, gather some grass and feed the chickens, ducks and geese.
It sounds like it's true.
But what did the Fourth Master do that was not true? He had to change his clothes and even the headband that tied his hair.
What kind of alternative is this? Lin Yutong took the hairband and looked at it, "The one I chose is gray..." The cotton cloth is gray, which really doesn't stand out.
Then look at those farmers, how many of them use cloth strips to make hair ties? So, they took off the hemp stalks hanging on the wall outside that had not been twisted into hemp ropes, and rubbed them. The night before, they rubbed them for a long time.
Huizi hemp rope. Then I got up early the next day and tied my hair with hemp rope. The belt on my waist was also replaced with hemp rope. On my feet was a pair of cloth shoes, which were old and worn every year when I went to the field.
They were not worn out. This time, they put straw sandals on the cloth shoes. The trouser legs had to be stuffed into cloth socks. The cloth socks were exposed and were usually tied up with cloth belts. They even removed the cloth strips from the socks.
Replace with twine.
Not only did he dress up like this, he also directed Tongtong, really like a poor peasant woman. He only wore half of the skirt, and the hairpin on his head was not suitable to use a wooden hairpin, so he took a wooden stick, flattened the hairpin, and that was it.
After finishing it, I looked it up and down, and then said to Tongtong, "It's still too white!"
Lin Yutong took a step back, "I won't smear pot ashes on my face."
I didn't want to wipe it for you! The fourth master just laughed and said, "With your appearance, if an ordinary farmer would dare to let you go out."
Right! It’s hard to give up on natural beauty!
She dealt with it here and urged him to go out. When he actually went out, she followed behind and let out a long sigh of relief. The fourth master was particularly enthusiastic about dress-up games.
Just be very serious.
Then as soon as the image of the emperor and empress came out, the ministers said: "..." It feels like we are not serious! This attitude is wrong! We can't keep up with the rhythm above.
Fortunately, Fourth Master's game does not force the people around him. He is so unique and outstanding that it is normal for others not to keep up. In this regard, he is still tolerant.
Then get to work!
After working all morning, Geng Shuming was 'criticized' by his fourth master more than a dozen times: "... Narrow sleeves do save fabric, but when you go out to work, you would rather wear patches than open... the shoes on your feet.
No, the shallow mouth is easy to get into the soil...The pants are too much in the way, I can't squat down..."
Wang Kentang was much smarter, "...I have picked up all these grass roots. These are medicinal materials." He did not approach the emperor.
Ji Chengli said, "I think what the emperor said is very reasonable. We should set up a task with the Academy and Qiuzhen Hall. Narrow clothes save fabric, but they are inconvenient to move. If the fabric is elastic, the problem will be solved."
The fourth master immediately praised him and said to Ji Chengli, "I will sort out the writing tonight. After I approve it, I will send it to the Qiuzhen Hall. Whether it will be done and when it will be done, there is no rush. This is a good idea. It is a good idea."
Very good direction.”
Geng Shuming: “………………” It’s just me!
After half the morning's work, I ate breakfast on the field. Each person had a wild vegetable tortilla cake, which was enough to deal with it. I put my heart on my back when I was hungry, and didn't go back to eat until noon. What did I eat? The wild vegetables were alive.
Steamed cornmeal, add some salt, there is no oil at all, just eat it like this! The person who eats it will hold his neck and swallow it.
After eating, rest for half an hour, continue in the afternoon, come back in the evening, add sweet potatoes to the millet soup, and sprinkle some wild vegetables, and the day is over.
But where is this enough? The affairs of the imperial court can be handled by leaving two cabinets and two military aircraft. Not all the people in the Yamen are transferred, everyone takes turns! But even if you don't have to stay up late at night to approve the papers, this is a day's work
Yes, I’m hungry after eating so little!
If you are hungry, you will not be hungry again when you fall asleep.
Lying down, Tongtong could hear the growling sound of Fourth Master's stomach. Lin Yutong said, "There are eggs. Can I boil two for you?"
Don’t eat! We don’t cheat. We won’t eat if we say we won’t.
Okay, if you don’t want to eat, don’t eat!
The two of them really didn't eat, but they definitely didn't starve the child. Qitai was very clever. He told him to boil the milk after expressing it. He drank it early. There were also eggs. There were more than a dozen hens, and they laid enough eggs.
Eat it! The food is monotonous and not delicious, but it will definitely fill you up. Moreover, the peasant woman who cooks also said, "The adults eat poorly, but every child can eat better."
There was always dry food, and Qitai never felt hungry.
But it really sank to the bottom, which had a great impact on Qiming. He was in a village at the foot of a mountain not far from the capital. This family was a couple raising four sons. The eldest son was as old as him.
They are two-year-olds separated from each other. There are six people in the family. There is no tax on land reclamation. The family cultivates 48 acres of land.
The average person has eight acres of land, so life must be good.
The man in charge, Wang Shuanzi, was also satisfied. He smiled honestly, "We have met a good emperor and don't charge taxes. Life is easy now."
The Wang family didn't know that he was the eldest prince. Li Zheng's son here was studying in the academy. This time they went to Li Zheng's son and asked him to tell him that it was arranged like this by the academy so as not to reveal his identity.
Therefore, even Li Zheng only knew that the scholars in the academy wanted to help work in the fields and stay at home for a month to see how things were going. More than a dozen houses in the village had arranged for such young students. They all seemed to come from wealthy families.
of!
The Wang family was considered to be a well-off family in the village, with a lot of land and a lot of labor. The young man who led this family was the one they saw.
Therefore, the Wang family also assumed that Qiming was a student in the academy, so they had less scruples to speak!
Now this compliment was really a compliment, Qiming also thought, this day should be pretty good.
But with an average of eight acres of land per person, where is enough? In addition to cultivating these lands this year, the family also has to quickly find wasteland and open up wasteland.
"My eldest son is already sixteen, and we haven't even gotten married yet. As soon as we get married, there will be more people in the family, and then there will be more children. Then it will be the second eldest child... Every year, if the family does not add 20 acres of land,
The days are going to be difficult.”
But this means that the population has increased, but the labor force has not increased?
Right! So, the days to come will be difficult again.
The food we eat is still sweet potatoes and wild vegetables, and I can’t even bear to peel the sweet potatoes.
Qiming wrote down in his notebook that more than ten years of governance would be followed by, as his mother probably said, the arrival of the population peak.
A large population is naturally a good thing in the long run. But what will happen if the population surges now?
He drew a big greeting on the notebook.
The next day, as he continued to farm, he discovered that the people still preferred high-yielding crops, such as fine grains, and the family only planted three to five acres. The proportion of various grains planted was very problematic.
On the third day, I discovered the difficulty of irrigation. Nowadays, well water can be stirred up to irrigate the ground, but old farmers will tell you: well water is not as good as river water, nor as good as rain and snow water. If you use well water to irrigate the ground, the ground will become a hard board.
.
Day by day, Brother Nian and others found that the smile on the prince's face was getting less and less. The prince who grew up in the palace was already very down-to-earth, but as soon as he arrived at the common people's house, it only took three days.
It really got serious all of a sudden. It rained a little that day and they couldn't go to the ground. Fourth Master and Lin Yutong took Qitai and rushed to the village where Qiming was. At the entrance of the village, they told the people following them to disperse, but they
Go and see Qiming.
"Father, mother?" Qiming came out immediately, "Why are you here?"
The fourth master and Tongtong only said hello to the owner, saying that they were troublesome, and left two taels of silver, asking them to take care of them.
This was not the place to talk, so Qiming said, "Son, will you take you to the temple at the entrance of the village?"
Okay! Along the way, Qiming said how he felt these days, "It's difficult! It's too difficult."
The fourth master turned around and refused to go to the temple. "Shall we go to the mountain to have a look?"
What are you looking at?
You will know it when you go up the mountain.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Fourth Master said, "Did you see it? That's a stream. That area is low... If explosives are used to open up the mountain, a reservoir can be built here. It's just a matter of good weather. Once there's a drought, this
At least it can have some effect...but it doesn't happen overnight..."
Just as he was talking, a rabbit jumped out. Before he could react, he saw a man coming out of the forest, holding a stone in his hand, and threw it at the rabbit, hitting it.
middle!
Lin Yutong looked over at the man. From a distance, he saw that he was a man dressed as a teenager. When he spoke, he said in a clear voice, "You guys look unfamiliar, and they don't look like people from our neighborhood. We are here to visit the mountains."
Okay? Just stop here. Go up, the soil is loose and it's not very safe. Go into the woods. It's very cloudy today and the woods are dark. You have a child with you... I'm afraid it won't be very convenient."
It's actually a girl.
Lin Yutong laughed, "I was talking about finding a place to hide from the rain! The rain in the mountains seems to be heavier than down here."
Yes! The girl pointed down, "My manor is over there, and it's just time for a cup of tea. If you don't mind, go and hide."
good!
Coming closer, Lin Yutong saw that this girl was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. From what she heard, she could tell that there was a manor nearby. If there was a manor near the capital, she was not a girl from a small family. She was just raised.
Very loose, running around in the mountains.
She asked, "I really didn't know that this mountain was owned by an owner. Sorry to bother you." The girl shook her head, "It has never been a serious business. The people around me are free to go up the mountain to hunt or collect firewood."
After taking a few steps along the mountain road, I turned around and found an inconspicuous courtyard built halfway up the mountain not far away.
There is a plaque at the gate of the courtyard. The plaque and the gate are all mottled, but it is still distinguishable. There is a word "Mu" on it.
Lin Yutong asked, "The Mu family...is the girl from Yunnan Prince Mu's Palace?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and looked at the plaque, "This was originally the property of the Mu family. Later, it was given to my grandmother as a dowry. My grandmother was the daughter of the Mu family and was married to the capital. Later, my mother was born. This property
He also made a dowry for my mother. My grandmother and my mother died of illness one after another, so this property was given to me. My surname is not Mu, my surname is Guo."
The surname is Guo? Is there any named family in the capital with the surname Guo? Or who are the ministers surnamed Guo in the court?
Qiming remembered what the Wang family had told him, saying that if he went up the mountain, he should not disturb the owner here. The owner here was very nice. He couldn't help but talk about the owner's situation. He just thought it was gossip at the time. Now that he remembered it, he
I whispered to my mother, "...when the court was revising the laws, you advocated for women to be divorced...the original owner here moved here after Heli. It is said that because there are no children, men are here."
When an illegitimate child was born outside and he was brought back, they were divorced."
Oh! This means that He Li came out with his daughter. Now, his grandmother and mother passed away, leaving this girl alone.
Lin Yutong took the tea brought by the girl, turned around and saw the brand-new armor hanging by the door, she asked, "Is the girl... going to join the army?"
Yes! I am alone! There are still a few old servants! It would be nice to have an errand and a place to settle down! I have just passed my mother's filial piety, and I am getting ready to go.
Lin Yutong nodded slowly and planned to tell Gao Guiying to get this girl away. She wanted to stay with her and see her again.
