The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 298 Transition

The 23rd year of Jingyan was the year with the most disasters in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the history of later generations generally believes that the Great Zhou Dynasty began to die at this time.

At that time, Emperor Duanzong and his courtiers didn't think so. Although the rain has been less than in previous years since the beginning of spring, they felt that the Qin Tianjian had already made a prediction last year, so they were not worried. What should they do? What are you doing.

Emperor Duanzong was still looking forward to the construction of the Tangshan Palace outside the city, so that he could move in this winter. Well, he could also escape the heat in the mountains in summer.

Although the most important thing in Tangshan is warm soup, it is still very cool on the mountainside.

If the emperor knew, because of this year, he would perish in less than ten years. He would not force the Ministry of Households to give him money to build Tangshan Palace, but to use the money to strengthen the country. Armament, no, it should be used to help the people.

In the autumn of Jingyan’s 23rd year, there was a drought in the area of ​​Lizhou Road, almost no rice was harvested, the highest yield of wheat was only 120 catties, and the lowest yield was only 18 catties, which was worthy of recovering grain seeds.

Fortunately, with the corn seeds contributed by Qi Xiuyuan, combined with the corn planting method he promoted, the highest yield per mu was 632 jin, and the lowest was 289 jin. A song.

But Bielu Prefecture was not as lucky as Lizhou Road. The area around Lin'an Prefecture was also dry, but the two lakes were flooded. Not only the farmland was submerged, but many houses were also destroyed and many people were displaced.

The Miao people in southern Xinjiang are also ready to move, but all this is a small-scale disaster in the eyes of the court. In Lin'an Mansion, the court is holding a banquet. One is to celebrate the completion of the Tangshan Palace, and the emperor can move in to escape the cold in winter. .

The second is to celebrate the bumper corn harvest, yes, the bumper corn harvest.

Of the corn seeds that the imperial court forced Qi Xiuyuan to hand over, a quarter was handed over to the emperor, and the emperor handed it over to Huangzhuang for sowing, and the remaining three quarters were divided among ministers and aristocratic families.

After a whole winter of wrangling, the seeds were carefully divided and planted in the ground by their tenants. According to the planting method submitted by Qi Xiuyuan, they had just harvested autumn not long ago, and the yield per mu reached 740. Eight catties, of course, is the highest yield, but it also proves from the side that Emperor Sejong's comments on corn were correct.

Such a high yield, regardless of whether it is delicious or not, people will definitely not starve to death after it is promoted, so when they heard that there were rebellions by disaster victims in various places, they did not take this matter to heart.

They are all a group of unscrupulous people, who have such high-yield things and even rebelled.

At this time, they forgot that the corn seeds had not been dispersed enough, and all the corn seeds from the south were swallowed by them, and none of them flowed out.

After hearing that there were also people rebelling on Lizhou Road, the Emperor Da Zhou ordered Qi Xiuyuan to lead his troops to vindicate them with a wave of his hand.

When Qi Xiuyuan received the official document, he almost gritted his teeth, slapped the official document on the table, and said angrily, "Isn't anyone trying to persuade you to make peace?"

Qi Haoran was also very angry. When it was time to make peace, those ministers would not fart, but when they did not change to make peace, they insisted on negotiating peace with the barbarians.

"Brother, I went to check. They are all farmers in the Tongchuan area. They all attacked the county government when they couldn't survive. They didn't kill anyone. They just opened up the granary of the government." Qi Haoran Grinding his teeth, he said: "I heard that the people in the Tongchuan area have reached the point where they have to change their sons to eat, but the county government and the government government just don't open granaries."

Qi Xiuyuan raised his forehead with a headache, "You can't blame Tongchuan's magistrate for this matter. He wrote letters to the court every three days. The court only told him to stick to it, but he didn't let go and opened a warehouse to help the disaster. The emperor thought it was the same as before. Woolen cloth."

Qi Xiuyuan looked at Rong Xuan, and said: "Military Master, you draft a document, and I will hand it over later, and explain the situation here clearly. Those are farmers who cultivate the land, and the main thing is to negotiate a peace."

Rong Xuan responded.

"But since the emperor asked us to rehabilitate, we can't do nothing. At least the situation in Tongchuan Mansion must be under control. Haoran, you immediately lead the troops to Tongchuan Mansion, and take the fifth battalion and the fourth battalion with you. , Mu Shi is the striker, and will set off tomorrow."

Qi Haoran replied wearily.

"What's the matter?" Qi Xiuyuan looked at him strangely and asked, "Don't you usually jump up excitedly when you hear about the war? Why are you so depressed now?"

Rong Xuan laughed and said, "General, forgot? The day after tomorrow is Miss Mu's birthday, and the little general also said that he would hold a birthday party for Miss Mu in Hanzhong Mansion."

Qi Xiuyuan laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I thought it was something, don't worry, you're not at home, I'll ask Zijin to help you with it, and elder brother will help you supervise."

It's not because of this that he's depressed, okay? He prepared for a month just to prepare a birthday present for Mu Yangling, but now it's all gone.

Qi Haoran left wearily, Rong Xuan watched him leave, turned his head to look at the smiling Qi Xiuyuan and said: "Chengde, Haoran is getting more and more interested in Miss Mu."

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head and laughed, "I didn't expect this kid to find his wife first."

Rong Xuan looked at him in surprise, "You really don't mind, the Mu family's family background is not very good."

Qi Xiuyuan's face was slightly cold, and he said: "I hate the view of family status the most in my life."

Has his mother, he and his brother been harmed by this family all their lives?

"What kind of family background does the Qi family have? Five generations ago, they were just illiterate farmers, and only one scholar was born in the third generation. He is only the son of a fifth-rank official, and he has a family background. Wish you the best of luck. Where is home again?"

Rong Xuan stopped talking immediately, he knew that the enmity between the Qi family and the Zhu family was a bloody debt, and no one can tell who is right and who is wrong, but for Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran, it is indeed Qi Feng. Ashamed of them.

Qi Xiuyuan calmed down, and said: "Hao Ran has a big temper and rarely listens to persuasion. Mu Yangling is the only one who can control him besides me and Zijin. He likes him himself. We don't need to stop him. We just wait for them." When I get older, I'll talk to Mu Jia again."

Thinking of Shu Wanniang's behavior, Qi Xiuyuan felt relieved, and said: "Maybe the Mu family also has a family background, as long as they don't look down on our family's Haoran."

Rong Xuan rolled his eyes, knowing that he was joking, and seeing him laughing happily, he said sinisterly: "Chengde, you are twenty years old this year, right? You are also twenty-one years old, should you get married?"

Qi Xiuyuan was taken aback.

Rong Xuan originally said this to stop him, but after he said it, he thought about it seriously and said in shock, yes, his good brother and good friend are all twenty-one, and they haven't even gotten married yet.
