The sky was covered with dark clouds and it soon became dark all around.
Xu Wu came over and said, "madam, there is a village ten miles ahead. Let's spend the night in the village tonight." Every time he was on his way, Xu Wu would send someone to find out the road conditions in front of him. Then decide where to have lunch and where to rest.
Yuxi with two children, it is impossible to let children eat cold food, and Yuxi body is not delicious, not cold food, so noon is also to open fire. Except for the first two days, Xu Wu will make people prepare for the things ahead. When Yuxi got there, he could eat it directly. Only when there are many people and 30 good horses can it be so convenient.
Yuxi said with a smile: "you can arrange it." Xu Wu is very thorough. He doesn't let Yu Xi hold more than half of his heart on the way.
The carriage was very slow, especially when it came to rough places. Even if Xu Wu arranged it properly, he could only walk a hundred miles a day when the weather was fine. If it rained heavily, he would rest in place. I also brought a tent, otherwise I would not live enough.
A quarter of an hour later, it began to rain. Although it was light rain, Yuxi still closed the window, but jujube climbed up to see outside.
Yuxi hugged jujube in his arms and said with a smile, "this girl is really a monkey. She has no peace for a moment." A good move, a too quiet, but also a headache.
It's raining, it's dark, it's hard to walk. It took half an hour to get outside the village. All the roads in the village are small roads, and the carriage can't get in. The carriage was on the side of the road. Yuxi got out of the carriage with liu'er.
Hongdou gives Yuxi an umbrella, while Hongqi supports Yuxi. As for jujubes, Xu Wu in coir raincoat held them in his arms. Of course, Xu Wu has an umbrella on his head.
Chuang Tzu also has only two big brick houses, one of which is still in the middle. This meeting, all borrowed.
When Yuxi arrived, mother Quan and mother Bai had been busy for a long time. If you want to know who is the most hard-working person, it's only mother Bai and mother Quan. White mother to be responsible for Yuxi and the child's three meals a day, full mother is to give liu'er and jujube do nutrition and delicious food. The two children have not had any problems up to now, and mother Quan has made great contributions.
After dinner, it's already half past the time. Today's road is relatively flat, not bumpy. Yuxi has a sleep in the carriage. This meeting, Yuxi energetic, toward Xu Wu said: "will be in is called over, I have something to ask him."
Xu Wu was a little surprised and said, "madam, you can tell me anything." After half a month's journey, liu'er was fine all the time. He was relieved that he didn't have a headache.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I want to ask Xiali Zhengchun farming and the living conditions of nongren in the village." She had been in Chuang Tzu, and she had a rough idea of what life the farmers lived. It's just that she wants to know more about it.
Li Zheng came soon. He was an old man with white hair and beard. As soon as I came in and saw Yuxi, Li Zheng knelt down on the ground, kowtowed Yuxi three times and said, "madam, you are lucky and healthy." He was still shaking when he said this.
When Xu Wu borrowed the house, he explained their identity to Li Zheng. Because of this, when Li Zheng saw Yu Xi, he would give such a big gift.
Yuxi motioned to Xu Wu to help the man up and said with a kind face: "the old man, with the help of your house, I haven't said thanks to you yet!"
Li Zheng did not dare to look up and said, "I dare not. It's our good fortune that my wife can borrow our house." The wife of the general lived in his house. It was a kind of honor to talk about it.
Yuxi laughed, but without being polite to Li Zheng, he directly asked about the situation in the village: "how many families are there in Zhuangzi now?"
Li Zheng said“ There used to be 86 families in Chuang Tzu. These years, life has been very difficult. Now there are only 41 families and 229 people left. " It's more than forty-one families left.
Yuxi also asked about the spring ploughing and reclamation.
Li Zheng is also an old farmer. Only when he is old and fair, can he recommend Li Zheng. Li Zheng wiped his eyes and said, "the most wasteland in the village is 12 mu, and the least is 3 mu. At the time of sowing, they all went to the government to get good crops, and they all ploughed. This year, don't worry about starvation any more. " The government not only encouraged the development of wasteland, but also reduced taxes, so that as long as they were not lazy, they could have a good meal.
Hearing this, Yuxi nodded his head. Looking at the governor of Linzhou, we can still do something. He continued to ask a lot of questions, and Li Zhengyi answered them all.
After waiting for Li Zheng to leave, Yu Xi's face is very dignified. There are 229 people in the village, only more than 50 young and middle-aged people. The rest are old, weak, women and children. That is to say, the strong labor force only accounts for more than one fifth. This number is shocking.
Looking at Yuxi's appearance, Xu Wu said, "madam, it's march now. There's food everywhere. As long as you're not lazy, you'll never die of hunger. When the harvest comes in the summer, they don't have to worry about starvation any more. "
Yuxi shook his head and said, "the grain output is too low. If there is a natural disaster, the common people will still not be satisfied." At this meeting, Yuxi naturally thought of the potato Mr. Chen gave her. It's just that Tian Yang hasn't come back since he went to Fujian for such a long time. It's estimated that something went wrong on the way. When we got to hocheng, Tian Yang didn't come back, so we sent other people to Fujian to have a look.
Xu Wu said: "madam, I have to go on my way tomorrow. Madam, let's have a rest early." No one can avoid natural and man-made disasters. It's no use worrying, madam.
Yuxi nodded and said, "when we get to Linzhou City, we will stay in Linzhou city for two days!" It's only a hundred miles away from Linzhou City, and it will be there the day after tomorrow.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "good." He obeyed Yuxi's arrangement. Let Yuxi use it, very handy.
Mother Quan looks at Yuxi and holds a thick book to read, while reading and writing. Mother Quan sighed, then handed the warm water to Yuxi and said, "don't look, go to bed early!" It's also inconvenient to be in the car, otherwise it's estimated that books will be put down in the car. Well, I don't know how to teach a bookworm.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy yet, Mammy. Take the baby to sleep first." Finish saying, drink up the water, the residue in the water also swallow. It's also because every day I drink meat Ganoderma lucidum. After walking for half a month, Yuxi looks better than when he came out.
Mother Quan said helplessly, "what do you say you are still doing so hard?" Up to now, Yuxi as long as firmly grasp Yunqing's heart, take care of the two children, and then take care of the internal affairs, it will be. There's no need to work so hard.
Yuxi said with a smile: "now domestic and foreign troubles, to spend a lot of thought, in order to manage it." If you know more, you won't be fooled at will.
Mother Quan said, "Yuxi, women can't be too strong. Let the general handle the affairs outside." In terms of strategy, Yuxi left Yunqing for a few blocks. However, mother Quan did not approve of Yuxi's involvement in the affairs outside. Women are too strong, strong to cover the men, it is easy to let the couple to strangers. Because men, do not like his wife better than him.
Yuxi shook his head with a smile and said, "husband and wife are of one mind, and their interests will break gold." Yunqing is not good at government affairs. She can make up for this. Yuxi believes that as long as their husband and wife work together, they will be able to manage the northwest well. When the situation in the northwest stabilizes, it's time to settle accounts with the Song family and the Empress Dowager.
Full mammy heart a Lin, board a face to say: "jade Xi, the man doesn't like the woman to interfere in the affair outside.". If you insist on this, in the future, once there is a dispute between husband and wife, it will be exploited by others. " Mother Quan thinks that the most important thing for a woman is her husband's family. If she is taken advantage of by other women, it is to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.
Yuxi smiles and says, "it's something he and Rui took the initiative to mention." Taking the initiative to give is quite different from asking for it.
Mother Quan asked reflexively, "really? Is cloud engine taking the initiative to let you intervene in external affairs? "
Yuxi said with a smile: "He Rui was impatient with things outside. He let me deal with them when he saw that I was good at them. That's fine, so I don't have to be bored later. " If yu hee make blind and disorderly conjectures, she will not know what she will feel.
Mother Quan frowned and said, "if you deal with things outside, there will be a lot of gossip." In men's eyes, women only need to take care of their internal affairs and take part in bringing up their children. Yuxi now meddles in the affairs outside, which is not a general affair. Will the subordinates of Yunqing have no opinions. More said, the parties will always be affected.
Yuxi to cloud Qing or very confident, said: "and Rui is not a few words can let him change his mind." Yun Qing is a man of principle. He will listen if he is reasonable. He would not listen if he stirred up dissension and complained.
Mother Quan was silent and said, "no matter what, husband and children are the most important, and rights are secondary. You must be clear about the priority. "
Yuxi said with a smile: "don't worry, Mammy. I have a sense of propriety." Their husband and wife all hope to govern the northwest well. With this premise, there will be no conflict. There is no conflict, it will not affect the couple's feelings.
With some emotion, mother Quan said, "when the emperor married me, I was very worried. Now it seems that there is also a misunderstanding. " Men spoil their wives a lot, but it's the first time they spoil their wives.
After hearing this, Yuxi couldn't hide his smile: "yes! I'm lucky to be married to hurui. " I think she wanted to escape marriage at the beginning! Fortunately, I didn't escape the marriage, otherwise I would have to regret it all my life.
Mother Quan stopped urging Yuxi and said, "then you can read the meeting book again. I'll take care of liu'er and zaozao." Mother Quan also put twelve points of thought into her two children.
Yuxi didn't read any more, but fell into meditation. They now occupy only two states and counties in Xihai. If they want to occupy all of them, they will have to fight again. War means the dead. Today, the situation in Northwest China is still as few as possible: "what can we do to achieve the goal with the minimum cost?" It's a real brain drain.
In the middle of Haishi, Yuxi was still up.
Full mammy some helpless, came to say: "hurry to sleep, tomorrow will be on the way!" I don't know how Yuxi is so interested in these things.
The cicadas are singing outside, but Yuxi sleeps soundly.
