Chapter 331 Going to Taozhou (ninth)
The ninth update is here, please subscribe!
In May, the fragrance of locust flowers wafts.
The early rice in Zhangjiagou has also entered the stage of heading, flowering, grouting and grouting. The rice grows very well, half a person tall, and its green appearance makes every Zhangjiagou people come to watch frequently.
The Zhang family really planted rice, and it was so good.
There is less than a month before the rice harvest, and now is a critical period for the formation of yield.
The temperature is high and the sun is strong. The Zhang family's head and the long-term workers are wandering around the ground all day and dare not slacken at all. Although Saburo is no longer at home, the heads have heard Saburo talk about many key points of rice before. They know that the rice is in a critical period from earrings to ears and blooming, and are very sensitive to temperament.
"To maintain the amount of water, the water in the field should be at least one and a half inches thick. According to Saburo, there is enough water in the field to reduce the temperature of the ear layer and increase the fruiting rate. When the ears are drawn and the grouting starts, the fields should be dried. The fields should be dried and wet, mainly wet, and there should be no too much water. But you should not cut off the water too early, otherwise you will not be able to fill the slurry."
Another looked at the plump ear bag with a smile on his face, "I'll chase the fertilizer soon, add water to the scorpion liquid and add dilute, and pour fertilizer."
"When the rice is heading, we must also start to prevent insects and birds, and we must protect the food from the mouth of the insects."
The weather is hot and the temperature is high. The most important task of rice fields is to retain water. There is still water in the ponds on the slope, which makes the watering situation much better, so that all of them have to be pumped with a trolley.
"The rice will be harvested in another month. Judging from the growth of the rice, there is no problem with 500 kilograms per mu. I believe it if it is 600 kilograms."
Butler Zhang couldn't get to the field once today. He was amazed at the rice that was growing so well.
"No, Weinan has also planted a lot of rice, but it is incomparable to ours. Their seedlings are much shorter than ours. Look at how thick our ears are, you can tell at a glance that there must be more grains after the ears are raised."
"Theirs cannot be compared with us. Our seedlings grow better than theirs. When transplanting them into the fields, how much fertilizer has been applied? The base fertilizer and top dressing, and a total of 40 to 50 pounds of rice are applied to each acre. If it is still not good, that is strange." Old Wang's face, which is like an old bark, was full of pride. They planted such good rice.
"Only, you can produce 500 kilograms per mu, what's the point of picking more fertilizer? You're idle at home. You can grow rice in a wasteland ditch, and you can produce 5000 kilograms in a season, you can't even think about it before!"
The rice terraces are full of joy.
And on this hot noon, Cui Yingying sat in the cool cave hall and was stunned. Cicadas on the trees outside kept screaming, which was annoying.
The red line sat next to Cui Yingying, and Du Shiniang still stood aside to establish rules. Zhao Siniang took two beards and made plans. The two beards were counting, and each one reported a book. Zhao Siniang calculated two accounts at the same time on the same abacus.
"Do you say this is true?"
Cui Yingying sighed.
"This is a good thing. Sanlang has been promoted to marquis and has been promoted to the state of Zhu." Hongxian advised.
Cui Yingying shook her head, and her husband took three thousand apprentices from the Bashang Workshop to fight for two months. She was worried that she finally waited for good news a few days ago. The King of Qin defeated the invasion of Tuyuhun, and her husband even became a hero. If her husband had not designed to annihilate the three thousand Qiang thieves with a group of new recruits, and another bluff to scare away Tuyuhun's Khan, maybe the King of Qin would have been killed in battle.
The hanging heart finally let go.
Immediately afterwards, news came out of Chang'an that the emperor promoted Sanlang to the founding marquis of Wu'an County and was awarded the honor of the country. This was a good thing, but when she went to Chang'an to inquire about the situation, she got bad news.
Saburo can't come back for the time being.
Due to the situation in Longshang, the emperor made an exception to be appointed Sanlang as the governor and governor of Taozhou, and he was to stay in Taozhou for garrison.
"Why did Sanlang make great contributions but still stay at the border?" Cui Yingying was puzzled. If she wanted to guard the border, she should also send a general to guard it. Her husband was just a civil servant.
"This matter is a bit complicated, because Sanlang saved the King of Qin. Although Yu Chao and King of Qin were rewarded and kind, it made the prince unhappy."
"It's the prince who doesn't let Saburo come back?"
"Actually, does Liu Sanlang mean the King of Qin in Taozhou?"
Cui Yingying was puzzled.
"Because of this incident, the Eastern Palace could not tolerate Sanlang. The King of Qin was worried that the prince would be unfavorable to him after Sanlang came back. Therefore, he asked Sanlang to stay in Taozhou. The matter was reported to the court, and His Majesty agreed." Zheng Shanguo was actually a little complicated when he said this.
He didn't think that Zhang Sanlang had always been the King of Qin. He just felt that this nephew-in-law saved the King of Qin just thought from the public that he did not put the internal struggle between the two princes to the court to resist foreign aggression. This was actually very commendable. But obviously, the prince believed that Zhang San must have been in the same group as the King of Qin, at least this was also a fence-bearing man who stepped on two boats.
"How long will Sanlang stay in Taozhou?"
"Maybe it will take a while, maybe it will be a long time."
Zheng Shanguo couldn't explain this matter clearly, everything depends on the situation. If the prince refused to forgive Zhang Chao, then he would be safer to stay outside for more time.
After all, the emperor who was far away from Taozhou was far away. When he returned to Chang'an, he was under the eyes of the prince and was always easily attacked or even framed.
After returning from Chang'an, Cui Yingying has been a little depressed.
The husband's prince Xima, the Grand Secretary of Chongwenguan, and the deputy head of Chongwenguan have all been removed. It seems that as my uncle said, the prince actually deposed the public because of his personal decree. He was resentful just because his husband rescued the King of Qin.
News has arrived again today.
The three thousand Bashang recruited soldiers who followed her husband to fight were ordered by the court to stay in Tao, Wei, Min, and Fang states, and were ordered by the court as government soldiers.
The court ordered that the families of these soldiers of the government choose whether to move. If they are willing to move, the court will organize the relocation and will also give them a settlement fee.
This is a military farming garrison, farming and fighting. Moving their families to the border is also an immigrant to the border.
"I'm going to Taozhou."
Cui Yingying made up her mind, since her husband might not be able to come back for a while, then she would go to her husband's place.
When my dad came back in the evening, she told her plans.
My father thought for a while, "You really thought about it, that's fine. I also received the transfer order in the East Palace today. I have requested the transfer to Taozhou, and the superiors are also approved. If you want to go, then our whole family will move over."
Qi Niang said reluctantly, "What should I do with this family? And the house in Chang'an City?"
"We have so many places and workshops in our family. The rice in the bath ditch grows just right, and the workshop has been doing well."
"Or, Thirteenth Lady should stay. Just go to Taozhou with your father." Qi Niang said.
Cui Yingying replied, "I think the red line should be left behind. Si Niang is also in our mansion, so let Si Niang help. In addition, there are housekeepers and foremans in the workplace, and even if we go to Taozhou, it will be in chaos. I will ask my uncle and adoptive father to help take care of Yi II. It should be fine."
"Shisanniang, I'm going to Taozhou too." Hongxian only realized that Cui Yingying wanted to keep her.
"You stay at home and help take care of this home. Maybe we will come back soon. Even if we can't come back for a while, we will place a deposit there and pick you up."
Zhao Siniang had no objection to Cui Yingying's entrustment. During this period, she came out of her home and lived in the Zhang family. She has always been Cui Yingying's assistant like Hongshi. She is also very familiar with the Zhang family's industries and is not a troublesome to take over.
In general, there are housekeepers and managers, and she and Hongzi are just in the middle of the general. More of them are actually managing accounts, checking accounts, and managing money revenue and expenditure.
"Qianniang, please stay here too. Lan'er and the others are still young, so don't go along with them. You can take care of them at home." said the father.
"I will go wherever you go. Marry a chicken and a dog and a dog. If you go to Taozhou, we three will go."
Chang'an City, Qin Wang Mansion.
The emperor had already given a royal palace to the two kings of Qin and Qi outside the palace.
Li Shimin's palace is not far from Xuanwu Gate. It is said to be a house, but it is actually a palace, covering an area of almost the same as a yard in Chang'an City. Although many places have not been built yet, they have already begun to take shape.
Li Shimin moved out of the palace and simply moved the Bachelor's Mansion to the royal palace.
"Have you seen Wen Yuan's song of military service?" Li Shimin asked Bachelor Zhu.
"I've seen it, it's very imposing."
Li Shimin nodded and recited the military chant with the poem he copied, "The desert was covered with dust and sun, and the red flag was half rolled out of the gate. The front army fought in Taohebei at night and had already captured Tuyuhun alive. Hahaha, only Zhang Wenyuan could write such a majestic and passionate poem. Looking at this poem, I couldn't help but remember the scene in Longxi. It was so critical that it was so dangerous, as if it was exhausted, life was hanging on the line, and the city was broken only in the evening. But Zhang Wenyuan led a group of farmers, workshop apprentices, and a group of middle-aged boys to kill all the way to the city of Longxi, scaring Murong Fuyun, who had 50,000 soldiers, also!"
"Indeed, Zhang Wenyuan is very good. This poem is well written, but I think Zhang Wenyuan is even more courageous. Not only is he brave and has a plan. It is not difficult to make a bluff, but who could wipe out all three thousand Qiang cavalry with thousands of young people?" Changsun Wuji learned that Zhang San was actually from their side since the head of Longxi City, and he admired and praised Zhang San more and more.
"It's a pity that he was wronged." Li Shimin sighed.
Zhang Chao made such a great contribution, but the result was that he exiled to the frontier and was not allowed to return to Beijing.
"Let him feel wronged for a few years first. When we look back, let's welcome him back!" Changsun Wuji said.
Li Shimin knew what his brother-in-law meant. Yes, Zhang San also explained the situation directly to him in Longxi City. Now, it is no longer realistic to hold any fantasies. He defeated Tuyuhun, but the prince defeated the Turks. If he didn't take action, the longer it would be difficult to drag it off.
I just felt wronged Zhang San for some time. After he dealt with the prince, he would definitely welcome his glory back to Chang'an!
