Chapter 103 Li Si Bows His Head

Weishui River.

This mother river of the Guanzhong land flows continuously day and night. From the Yanhuang, Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, the killings and replacements that occurred on this land are just a moment in the long river of history.

The river water is clear, nourishing the fertile soil on both sides. Compared with the turbidity two thousand years later, the crops watered by the industrially polluted river water must be green food.

After inspecting the army, Li Yuan resigned from Sima Yin, and took Cao Xin and others to the newly reclaimed fields by the Wei River. The fields were divided into mature fields and raw fields. This part of the Wei River was once

If it has been tilled and now plowed, the wheat seedlings can grow vigorously without adding much fertilizer.

Zhang Fu walked excitedly in front of Li Yuan. As he spoke, he pointed at the large land around him. From Daliang to Xingyang, then to Xianyang and Yongqi, the Zhang family has been following Li Yuan for the longest time.

A group of people, who have been migrating westward and following their destination, finally have the result.

Son-in-law Chen Ping is now Li Yuan's think tank, and is too busy with political affairs. Zhang Sumiang is quite critical of this, but her father-in-law Zhang Fu fully supports Chen Ping's work.

Men, without a career are equal to paupers.

As for women losing their temper, that's just spoiled. If Chen Ping was really nothing, Zhang Sumiang wouldn't lose her temper occasionally, but would be angry all day long.

What's more important is that twenty days ago, Zhang Fu passed the pavilion elders and became the pavilion chief of Qingshui under Yongzhou. He could be regarded as stepping out of the family and becoming a grassroots official of Li Yuan's regime.

This fertile field by the Wei River was an acre purchased and reclaimed by the Zhang family. As the saying goes, those who are near the water should first get the moon. When the petty officials in Yongzhou heard that the Changshi family wanted to cultivate the land, they naturally would not use the completely uncultivated mountainous land.

Li Yuan had no intention of pursuing this hidden benefit.

When it comes to purity, there will be fish.

After more than a year of following Zhang Fu and Chen Ping, they are now considered comrades in the trenches. If Li Yuan fails, Chen Ping and others, as the main accomplices, are unlikely to have any good results.

"Weng Zhang, how many percent of these wheat seeds have sprouted? If they are scattered in the fields, we cannot relax the matter of preventing birds and beasts." Li Yuan took a rare walk in the countryside and felt very comfortable.

When I was a child, I followed my ancestors in the fields. Compared with the Qin Dynasty, wheat cultivation in later generations already has a complete set of mature technologies. Unfortunately, with Li Yuan's little knowledge, he could only make a little progress when Zhang Fu was talking about it.

Mentioned some tips such as cultivation methods, thinning methods, and insect and weed control. However, Zhang Fu was very surprised. He did not expect that Li Yuan also knew how to cultivate fields, especially wheat cultivation.

After asking Li Yuan for instructions, Zhang Fu hurriedly ordered people to bring bamboo boards and record down every word of what Li Yuan said. What made Li Yuan even more dumbfounded was that Zhang Fu wrote this sentence at the beginning: Li Gongnong's book

.

What Zhang Fu means is that this collection of records of wheat farming was initiated by Li Yuan, so in the future, any good experience in wheat farming will be recorded in agricultural books. This kind of book is named after the words and deeds of important figures.

The practice was very common during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

For example: Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals were compiled by Lu Buwei when he was in office.

——.

Li Yuan is busy day by day.

Only by being busy can he keep his mind from being empty and thinking about the messy things in the Li family.

Yongzhou.

There is a house next to Qishui in the east of the city.

An old man wearing a hat made of wormwood was fishing by the river.

It has been more than a month since Li Si, the former prime minister of Qin State, arrived in Yongzhou from Xianyang. He has been recovering physically and is gradually improving. After all, Li Si is only in his fifties and has always had a good foundation. He also heard about his old rival Zhao.

Gao died unexpectedly on the streets of Xianyang. As soon as he felt good, his body naturally recovered.

However, Li Si has been depressed recently and cannot let go of things.

That is, during this period of time, Li Yuan never came to visit him once.

"Zheng'er, tell me, is Yuan'er really not in the city, or is he hiding from us on purpose?" Li Si looked lonely.

It can be said that he has never really cared about Li Yuan, this cheap son. From the bottom of his heart, because of his contempt for his mother, he naturally despised this younger son. However, he did not expect that the Li family finally relied on this to not care.

The son he cultivated escaped the fate of genocide.

"Father, my brother is really not in the city. A few days ago, the rebels invaded Chencang. In the past few days, Chen Changshi said that my brother went to Qishan Bingzao again..." Li Zheng replied hesitantly.

.

He didn't have much contact with his younger brother Li Yuan. When he was in the mansion, he only heard that there was a servant named Li Yuan in the backyard of the mansion. He heard rumors that he was his father's illegitimate son. Later, he just ignored it.

When Li Si arrived in Xianyang, he couldn't even get in touch with Li Yuan.

When they met again, Li Yuan was already a general with a strong army and tens of thousands of loyal and brave generals around him, which made Li Zheng feel more pressure.

Going to see Li Yuan, what should I say? How should I say it? On the way to the governor's house, Li Zheng could not help but feel uneasy. Fortunately, Li Yuan was not in the city, which made him relieved.

Li Si sighed and walked slowly into the room. When he came out, he held a bamboo slip in his hand: "Zheng'er, go to the eldest princess's house, give this to your sister-in-law, and ask her to pass it on to Yuan'er."

.”

"No!" Li Zheng bowed his head and agreed. There was no pressure on him to go to Zhao Yushu's residence. Although his eldest brother Li You died in the battle, Zhao Yushu was still his sister-in-law. With this family relationship, he would have someone to contact him when he went to the eldest princess's residence.

, unlike when he went to the governor's house, where there were all soldiers with expressions on their faces, without any smiles, which made him feel panicked when he saw them.

Li Si looked at Li Zheng's somewhat thin back, with mixed feelings in his heart. On the bamboo slip just now, he wrote the name of Li Yuan's mother, her place of origin, and some past verbal records. At the back, there were a few sentences about Li Si always feeling ashamed.

There were words he couldn't say, and at the end, Li Si also expressed his determination to use his remaining energy again.

In addition, he also had to think about Li Zhengduo. This second son would definitely not be able to fight in a war. In terms of governance, he had learned some of his own skills over the years, but what he lacked was opportunities.

The majestic prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, there is no problem in governing a country. Yongqi is only a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period. Li Si has the confidence to help manage these daily government affairs. In the end, the career of Li Yuan, his son, still belongs to the Li family.
