Chapter 1440： not showing off

With the passage of time, the situation of the battle on the northeastern border was continuously reported back to the capital, and many people who fled in panic came to the capital one after another.

The rent in the capital has risen a lot, and many people are rushing to the capital.

The Emperor Taishang looked out from the carriage. Some small vendors on the streets of Beijing were gone. Most of them were carriages entering Beijing. "Heh."

Zhou Shuren, "Recently, there have been many spies in the Northeast inciting the people, which has caused a chain reaction."

The Emperor Taishang turned his head, "This is the incompetence of the parents and officials."

Zhou Shuren said in his heart how powerful parent officials must be in order to stabilize the panic? Modern information development can't do it, not to mention the inconvenience of ancient information. "Parents and officials in the northeastern states also tried their best."

The Zhou family still has clan members serving as officials in the northeast, and He Shu and Wu Xi are also in the northeast, so don't let the emperor kill them all.

The Emperor Taishang was silent for a moment, "You are right, the tribes have been planning this war for a long time."

Zhou Shuren didn't continue this topic. It's enough to say some words once, but it's not beautiful if he talks too much, and he feels emotional. It's no wonder that everyone likes to be the emperor's close minister.

The Emperor Taishang suddenly asked, "Can anyone from the Zhou family enter the capital?"

Zhou Shuren, "The granddaughter of my ministers and granddaughters has not returned to Beijing, so the Zhou family can still be stable."

The Emperor Taishang was surprised, "Your family can rest assured that your granddaughter didn't tell her to go back to Beijing?"

Zhou Shuren replied, "The eldest daughter of the minister is afraid to write a letter to go back. The child wrote an expedited letter and came back. This girl is afraid that she will leave and cause a chain of panic. You also know that the Zhou family has a high status in Pingzhou because of the minister."

The Emperor Taishang knew that Zhou Shuren would not reveal the emperor's plan, so he was curious. Now that he heard this, "Your granddaughter is not bad."

The Zhou family does not move in Pingzhou, and Pingzhou is relatively stable.

Zhou Shuren smiled, "If this girl is a boy, she is better than her father."

In fact, he wanted to say that he was stronger than his grandson Jiang Du, but unfortunately he couldn't. The grandson still had to go into an official career. If he was compared by his sister, the emperor would have a bad impression on his grandson.

The Emperor Taishang had no impression of Zhou Shuren's eldest son-in-law at first. He was just a contented person. Later, Jiang Sheng gradually became a master. He didn't pay much attention, but he also sighed with emotion. Then it's gone.

The Emperor Taishang smiled, "Your eldest son-in-law is also good. Only a father with a good heart can raise a child with a good heart."

Zhou Shuren smiled, and the Emperor Taishang asked. Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to speak for his granddaughter. This is what the granddaughter deserves. It is also good for the granddaughter to treat Mu Fan. Although the Jiang family can pass the imperial examinations, the emperor will see the past. Jiang Ming's Things will still affect Mu Fan.

Zhangzhou, Yushuang looked at the fields, "These rains are life-saving rains."

Liu Feng hugged his son who was shaking tightly, "Yeah, if there weren't these heavy rains, this year's food would be at least halved."

The food has been halved, the people have paid taxes, the rations for this year are basically gone, and many people will starve to death. It is already a poor county, and it will only become more impoverished.

Yu Shuang frowned, "I don't know what happened to the Northeast war."

Liu Feng looked at the people working in the fields. They needed food and grass to fight the war. This year's tax may not be reduced or exempted. "If there is no news, it is good news."

Yushuang nodded, "In front of you are the medicine fields in the villages."

There was a smile on Liu Feng's face, "Yes."

Planting medicinal materials, this is the medicinal seed that he bought with his own pocket after he checked a lot of books and hired a medicinal farmer to confirm that the land could grow medicinal materials.

There are only two acres of medicinal fields in each village.

This is the method he thought of. He didn't expect the growth of the medicinal materials to be really good. There is a shortage of medicinal materials this year.

Yushuang stood by the medicine field, and the medicinal materials in the field were growing well.

Liu Feng said: "If this year is successful, each household will be able to open up two acres of wasteland each year to grow medicinal materials, so that it will not occupy the fields for growing grains."

Yushuang smiled, "Your hard work will be rewarded."

Liu Feng, "I only hope that the people under my jurisdiction can have enough to eat."

"Will do."

In the capital, Zhou Shuren followed the Emperor Taishang to the shed, looked at the large shed, and stood still.

The Emperor Taishang turned his head, "Let's go, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Shuren pointed to the shed, "The minister is looking at the silver."

These days, all kinds of money are spent, and he is full of money. He regrets it very much. If he knew earlier, he would not have given so much money to the Emperor Taishang.

The Emperor Taishang tugged at his beard. He didn't expect the floods to be so serious this year. "Have you seen it yet?"

Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth, "Look, why don't you look?"

This is all made of money, he must see it.

The Emperor Taishang arrived in a greenhouse, and many old farmers in the greenhouse were carefully serving the wheat, "This is the wheat that has been selected from the best seeds."

At the beginning, it took a lot of manpower to select the seeds of the same size and planted them together, and then looked for experienced farmers to take care of them. The recent growth was good, and he wanted to show off.

Zhou Shuren stood in the field, and there was something he wanted to say. He didn't know anything about farming. In his eyes, the wheat seedlings were really good, and then they disappeared. different.

The Emperor Taishang boasted: "How about it, I will say the value of Yinzihua."

Zhou Shuren, "This is just a good seed for the primary election. I don't know what the seed of the next generation will look like!"

The Emperor Taishang, "I know, so I'm not in a hurry, the big matter of food will come slowly."

"This year's weather is abnormal, and the grain production has been reduced on a large scale. The life of the people is not easy."

So don't take it slow, he always feels that there is already a precursor to the Little Ice Age.

The Emperor Taishang regretted bringing Zhou Shuren here. He didn't show off, but his pressure was even greater.

From the Zhou family, Changli said, "Mother, every year the grain merchant who buys our Zhuangzi asks his son if they can sell some of their grain this autumn."

"You already told them not to sell grain this year?"

Chang Li nodded, "Well, now we all know that grain production in various places has decreased, and there is a war, and grain merchants are afraid that they will not be able to receive grain."

The Zhou family sells a lot of grain every year. The Zhuangzi in each house are produced, and the Zhuangzi in the hands of the parents. In addition, the Zhou family will not bully the merchants and use shoddy goods, and they will not add sand and gravel to the grain. The grain merchants do not want to lose this. door business.

Zhulan has always been adhering to the idea that she wants to see her in the future, and she thought about it and said, "Then sell 20% of the grain, and save the rest of the grain. It's hard work for you. You have taken care of it all these years."

Chang Li smiled naively, "My son doesn't work hard."

He likes to be busy very much, which will make him feel good too. Although he can't be an official like his younger brothers, he can manage the family well. Over the years, the food of each house has been handed over to him, which is also the trust in him. Trust feels good.

Zhulan added: "Don't sell the fish in the fishing grounds this year, they are all frozen in the ice cellar."
