The wars in the world have temporarily ceased, and people from all over the world have breathed a sigh of relief, and can finally live a normal life again. But those who died in the war can only remain in the tears of their relatives, and finally become a gentle touch in the annals of history.
The spring plowing season has arrived, and no matter how important things were before in various countries, they must now make way for sowing.
With their new household registration and land certificate, the Zhao people received seeds subsidized by the Qin government and officially started farming in full swing.
However, they discovered something very miraculous, that is, Lu Yan actually took his wife to work in the fields.
"Hey, is that Lu Yan?"
"It must be, otherwise the Qin soldiers would have come to guard your farmland!"
"He's such a high-ranking big shot, why does he come down here to farm?"
"If I knew what he was thinking, then I would be a big shot too."
…
"Hey, look, that's Lu Yan and his prostitute."
"Damn it, if you want to die, do it yourself, don't take me with you! No matter what she was before, she is Lu Yan's first wife now. Be careful that he kills your whole family."
"I just said it casually. It's so far away that no one can hear it. Hey, what kind of trick do you think Lu Yan is? A good official shouldn't come here and drag his beautiful daughter-in-law with him.
suffer."
"Okay, okay, that has nothing to do with us people. Farm the land well and there will be a good harvest. Lu Yan said that in the first year, there is only one tax per ten, and it will be increased in the future."
"Oh~"
…
Nong Yu glanced at the people in all directions and said to Lu Yan, "Husband, the people seem to be paying attention to us."
Lu Yan used all the skills taught by the Zhu family and sowed the seeds happily. He said without looking back: "It's good to pay attention. If I don't pay attention at all, then my efforts will be in vain."
"Haha~" Nongyu smiled at his back.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I just feel that husband, you seem to be in a better mood and feel happy when you go to the fields."
"Really~" Lu Yan put down his work temporarily and squinted at the sun, "The world is strange. When I was in my hometown, I always thought about escaping from the farmland. Now decades have passed.
When I hold the farm tools, my heart calms down unconsciously."
Nongyu didn't reply. She still didn't quite understand the magical "hometown" her husband mentioned. However, Lu Yan said that he was once a farmer, which surprised her.
"What merits do I have now? I have never been engaged in farming and mulberry farming. I am an official with a salary of three hundred shi, and I have a surplus of food every year. I feel ashamed when I think of this, and I will never forget it."
Lu Yan read out "Guan Mao Mao" by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem mainly expresses Bai Juyi, an official in feudal society,'s sympathy and concern for the working people.
But when it comes to what methods Bai Juyi used to help the working people in his life, it seems that he has not heard much about it.
After Lu Yan finished reading, he suddenly asked: "Nongyu, do you think I am being hypocritical now?"
Nong Yu shook her head decisively, walked up to him and held his hand, "I only know that Nong Yu understands and supports everything my husband does.
I still remember that in Korea at that time, I said that the merit of saving people will not be erased because of selfishness; you said that selfishness will not become noble because of merit.
My husband has taken care of both selfishness and merit very well, even a little too well."
This sentence is both praise and pride, but also a little bit of complaint.
Lu Yan felt mixed emotions in his heart.
He stroked Nongyu's hand gently, turned to the back and shouted: "Come here, bring all the official documents that I want to approve today from the Handan government office. Also, go to my house to find a piano."
"Yes, Master National Preceptor."
The soldier took the order and left. Nongyu was extremely puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"Hey, today we, husband and wife, will show the world what a poetic working life is." Lu Yan smiled mysteriously, without saying anything, and immediately threw himself into the farm work.
After a long time, two carriages arrived, one carrying official documents and the other carrying a piano.
"Hahaha, although the official document is too long, the sound of the piano is sweet. Come on, Nong Yu, I will approve the official document while you play the piano."
Lu Yan flew up, swung out the Changhong Sword in his hand, and after several blasts of sword energy, the trunk of a carriage was dismembered.
He threw the qin to Nong Yu, and he pieced together the scattered wooden carriages into two small tables.
One for myself and one for Nongyu.
It had been a long time since Nongyu had seen him so free and interesting, and now she felt a burst of joy in her heart. Pure inner strength surged out. She took the guqin and the table, turned around and sat down, playing the qin with both hands.
A ripple of running water came from the guqin, and she re-tuned a few strings.
"Husband, not only today, but also for the rest of your life, the sound of this piano will always be by your ears!"
"Hahaha, if you have a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for? Let's go!"
Lu Yan turned over, sat in front of the car containing the official documents, put the table on the table with a click, and began to review while listening to his wife's piano music.
The surrounding soldiers were all dumbfounded. They had never seen anyone working like this before.
The music of the piano rippled through the spring breeze, attracting more people to wonder what was happening here.
"It sounds good, it sounds good. A woman who can be Lu Yan is indeed capable."
"I'm envious that there is such a way."
"It's all fancy and has nothing to do with us."
"It doesn't matter. I can listen to this guy playing the piano. It's no big deal. I'm treated like the King of Qin!"
"Is listening to Qin getting in the way of your work? Hurry up and do it!"
…
After Lu Yan reviewed a certain number of official documents, he stretched out his body and went directly to the fields to farm; Nong Yu also followed suit, and the husband and wife matched up with each other, so they were not tired from the work.
From that day on, Lu Yan simply asked someone to set up a simple office in a corner of the field and handle official business here every day.
The people felt strange at first and started talking and gossiping. But as time went by, they found that Lu Yan really did not change his behavior. He still worked in the fields and would go to the fields at any time, accompanying the people every day.
People's senses began to change.
This is a long-term political show. The time limit Lu Yan originally set for himself must be adhered to at least until this year's autumn harvest. Judging from the initial performance, the results are obvious.
At the same time, some theories began to become popular in Zhaodi.
Lu Yan was actually a child of a peasant family. He later worked hard to study and became a talented person. Only after being favored by the King of Qin did he become what he is today. But he still remembered all the farm work and never forgot his roots.
Lu Yan himself is a farmer. The people he deals with, kills, and arrests are all rogues and hooligans who are not engaged in production, all to ensure the safety of the lives and property of ordinary people.
Don't be deceived by Lu Yan, he is not a cruel person at all. This year, every family has subsidized seeds, the tax rate is low, and those feudal lords' food towns have basically been taken by Qin Fa. This is really benefiting the farmers.

The audience for these legends is growing, and Lu Yan's image and the Qin Fa he represents are slowly gaining recognition from the people of Zhao.
