"What can we do? After the bandits are eliminated, we will divide the land among individuals and distribute the seeds in the coming year. Don't care about anything else. The reason why the northern border is like this is mainly because the border defense line is not stable. Now that the garrison generals have been changed, I think the northern border will be stable.
Already."
Although Su Hou has been stationed in the northern border for many years, he is a master who cares about his own interests. Since Liang Yan established the dynasty, he has been stationed in the northern border, experiencing turmoil and fighting, on average, once every two years. This time the emperor called him back
, also because southern Xinjiang was finally stable and he was able to spare time to clean up.
Seeing the book in her hand stop on the Chinese medicine page, you knew her intention.
"If you want to plant medicine here, you can plant it. I will leave some mature land for you to use as a test field. If it is successfully planted next year, it will be promoted and the residents of the northern border will be able to live a better life."
Liangyan's medicinal materials are all collected manually from the mountains. Although the price is very high, they are difficult to find and the quantity is not large. The best way to solve the problem of expensive medicine is to artificially grow medicine. This place simply does not have it.
Chemical fertilizers and medicines grown should be similar to wild ones.
Cheng Xue thought so too, but she didn't expect that the two of them coincided.
"Sure enough, you are the only one who knows me. I also want to ask you to try growing medicinal herbs on the land. Peony, parsnip, platycodon, fritillary, astragalus, etc. can be grown. There is also ginseng, which can also be grown.
, but seeds are hard to find, and the cycle is relatively long. The book says it takes more than four years."
"That's okay. The term is five years. If you plant ginseng in one field, you will have a good harvest and sell it. Everything will be worth it. Just plant it. If you need anything, just tell me and I will find a way."
"Okay, little lady, I'm here. I would like to thank Mr. Li for your support."
Seeing the teasing look on her face, Li Hui directly lifted the woman into his arms and quickly blew out the candles. No matter how much the little woman in his arms squirmed, he thought she was tickling her. After he had eaten and drank enough, the little woman in his arms began to itch.
The woman had already played chess with Duke Zhou. He helped her find a comfortable position in his arms, then covered her with the quilt and closed her eyes with satisfaction...
…
On the third day after the festival, Li Hui once again mentioned the suppression of bandits. Naturally, Tongzhi, Tongpan and others disagreed.
There was no other reason. There was no money or food. The city still owed so much foreign debt to other cities, and the military camp where it was stationed did not have a commander.
Just when Li Hui was about to slam the table, Yan Yixin came in from outside, bowed his hands and said:
"Sir, the commander of the army stationed in the North has posted a message, asking you to go to the military camp immediately to discuss the matter."
Hey, if you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.
Li Hui looked at Tongzhi, Tongpan and others, smiled evilly, and said:
"Don't say that I didn't give you time. Hurry up and tell the people on the mountain that I'm going to deal with them together with the troops stationed in the north."
"Sir, you——"
"Master Li, although we are your subordinates, we are still officials of the imperial court. Everything we do is for the sake of the people. You can't slander us like this." Xu Tongpan defended himself angrily.
When one person spoke, others followed suit and retorted.
It's a pity that Li Hui is Li Hui, and he won't deviate from the rhythm just because of a few words.
"For the sake of the people? Are you slandering you? If we don't wipe out the bandits, how will the caravan come over? How long has the city been missing for a long time? You have no idea? The objective problems are not insurmountable, but your subjective fear of war, this
That’s the problem!”
"Then tell me, how to solve the problem of lack of money and food?"
"That's right, Mr. Li, we still owe him a lot of money."
"No way! If you don't pay back the money and go to war, there's no sense in it!"
"Who do you think you are to question me? I owe you the money? Don't think you are so clean. Wait until I have sorted out the external problems, and then I will solve the internal problems like you. If you don't want to, just write a book to impeach me and get rid of me.
Go down. Otherwise...hehe!"
"you--"
"..."
Li Hui looked at the figures of several people, curled his lips, and said:
"Look at your licking stomachs one by one. The common people can't eat or drink. But you all eat until your belly is fat and your waist is round, so you are not afraid of getting thirsty? You are here whining and scumming, waiting for the bandits to be wiped out.
, I went to the government barracks for training, and I can’t manage my body well. How dare I govern a state capital?”
Seeing that the situation was somewhat uncontrollable, Yan Yixin hurriedly spoke out to smooth things over:
"Sir, Marshal Xiao is still waiting. He is looking for you to discuss the suppression of bandits. I heard he even brought secret orders from the palace."
Hearing this, Li Hui said "Hmm" proudly, then looked deeply at Tongzhi, Tongpan and others, turned around and left meaningfully.
As soon as he left, the house immediately started to boil.
Compared to outsiders like Li Hui, they were all natives of the northern border. Some of them had wealthy ancestors, and they used money to donate money to become minor officials in the yamen after passing the examination. Some of them came directly to take up their posts after passing the examination.
Some are county magistrates from other places, who were promoted to this level after their term of office expired.
Anyway, no matter what their background is, their home and roots are here. If they want to be innocent, it is definitely not as innocent as Li Hui.
"Lord Fan, what should we do? If the robbers finish robbing us and they deal with us, then we will all be doomed."
To put it bluntly, there is one person in the house, but none of them are checked.
Fan Tongzhi himself was unhappy. Seeing that Mou Keyu was the first to waver, he angrily yelled:
"Whatever you do, whatever you do, just listen to him! If this person can be used by us, he will naturally be kept. If he is not used by us..."
"Master Fan, no." Shen Jue shook his head and interrupted, saying with lingering fear, "If I read correctly, the Yongxi and Wenxi that Master Li usually brings are not ordinary people."
"what do you mean?"
Fan Tongzhi may not listen to what others say, but he will definitely listen to Shen Jue. There is no way he can do it. He is a second-class Jinshi who passed the eight-class examination. He was transferred here as the county magistrate Ren Manping. As long as nothing goes wrong in the past few years, he will definitely have to do it again.
To advance to another level, you need to be coaxed.
As for him, he has come to the end of his career. It is impossible to go up. His reputation is not legitimate and his words are not smooth. This is why he always wants to suppress Li Hui. It is stupid to say that he himself does not check, but
I always go to tease someone, I really don’t know what’s going on in my head.
Of course Shen Jue won't care about his brain, he just tells what he knows and sells it well. If something happens in the future, Fan Yao will remember his good deeds.
"When I was in the capital, I saw that man named Yongxi. He went to Suhou's house and brought the official's secret order. He was definitely not taking it lightly. Didn't Mr. Li also bring the gold-medal order arrow when he came to the north this time?"
"Yes, yes." Mou Keyu nodded hurriedly, "Master Fan, we can bend and stretch, but don't compete with the officials. Now Su Hou and Gu Shuai have returned to Beijing. I heard that Gu Shuai will be questioned if he returns to Beijing privately. Responsibility, I’m afraid this northern territory is really going to change.”
"Master Fan, I'm a timid person. I have an old man, a young child, and a young child at home. I can't let anything happen to me!"
