375 door-to-door propose, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu

Li Zixiao left Luo and Liu Chong's trapped camp in Huai'an, and assisted Han Liushan in recruiting new soldiers and reorganizing Huai'anwei.

Of course, Li Zixiao left Luo and Liu Chong, and it meant more to spy on Han Liushan.

Of course, Han Liushan also knew this, but he saw the situation clearly and accepted it obediently, to be someone else's subordinate, he had to have the consciousness of being a subordinate.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao took Quartz and three hundred soldiers of the 'Flying Feather Battalion' to prepare to go to Yangzhou.

On the one hand, he is planning to control Yangzhou Mansion as well, and on the other hand, Li Zixiao is also preparing to propose to Lin Mansion this time and is preparing to marry Lin Wan'er as his wife.

It stands to reason that Li Zixiao's marriage to a wife pays attention to the orders of his parents at this time, that is, he needs his parents to make arrangements.

However, from the moment Li Zixiao was forced out of the Lin family, he had already severed relations with the Lin family, how could he obey the Lin family's arrangement.

As for Li's mother during this time, after being taken to Xuzhou by Li Zixiao, Lin Yuluo and Guan Mingxi were waiting for her on weekdays, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and did not ask about world affairs.

Regarding her son's marriage, Mother Lin told Li Zixiao that if she fell in love with any girl, she would boldly propose marriage, as long as it was what his son liked, he would have no objection as a mother.

Mother Li's life has been bumpy, and with a son like Li Zixiao, it is natural for him to do it.

And Li Zixiao didn't expect to meet such an enlightened mother in ancient times, and he was overjoyed.

Previously, because of a series of important things such as the founding of the White Dragon Army and the northward war, he postponed the matter of proposing to the Lin family again and again.

Li Zixiao estimated that he would take people out to fight again after the New Year, and while he had time in the past two months, he had to hurry up and finalize his marriage with Lin Wan'er.

And once the marriage between Li Zixiao and Lin Wan'er is decided, then Yangzhou Mansion will actually fall into the hands of Li Zixiao.

At that time, Lin Yongnian, who is the current prefect of Yangzhou, will be his father-in-law!

His son-in-law is nominally responsible for Yangzhou's defense, and with a father-in-law who is the prefect of Yangzhou, then Yangzhou Mansion will not be captured.

Moreover, at this time, Li Zixiao's title of Sanpin court official, General Pingyuan, and the Lin family are also a good match.

Li Zixiao arrived in Yangzhou at night, and he was very low-key and did not attract too many people's attention.

He left three hundred 'Flying Feather Battalion' cavalry outside Yangzhou City, and only brought Quartz and others into Yangzhou City, and the target was small because of the small number of people, and it was not easy for people to notice.

Zhang Fugui has already arranged everything in Yangzhou, including Li Zixiao's housing and transportation arrangements, as well as Li Zixiao's gifts for his relatives, etc., which have already been arranged.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao went to visit the Lin Mansion, and it happened that Lin Yongnian was not there, but Li Zixiao was led to the backyard of the Lin Mansion by a maid.

Li Zixiao looked at the Lin Mansion decorated in an antique manner, the layout was simple, and there were not many expensive decorations, Li Zixiao saw more calligraphy and paintings, books, and worthy of being a scholarly family.

"Master Li, we meet again."

Soon, a voice like a jade plate falling beads sounded beside Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao turned his head to see that a twenty-eight beautiful woman wearing a plain white shirt and an emerald green dress walked out from behind a screen at this time, and was looking at him with a smile.

When Li Zixiao saw Lin Wan'er, a light and elegant aura emanated from her body.

Shallow dimples and a faint smile are like a beauty walking out of a landscape painting.

At this moment, Li Zixiao's heartstrings trembled, and this feeling of speeding up his heart was like his first love before crossing over.

Fortunately, Li Zixiao quickly came back to his senses, did not make a fool of himself, and shouted softly: "Wan'er." ”

This is the first time for Li Zixiao to call Lin Wan'er so affectionately, which made Lin Wan'er's face flush instantly.

"Lord Li, please be seated."

However, Lin Wan'er seemed to have some resentment in Li Zixiao's heart, and stretched out her hand to Li Zixiao to make a gesture of invitation, looking like 'I don't know you very well'.

Although the two have been in constant communication for the past year, they have only met once.

When we met again this time, Lin Wan'er was still a little nervous and excited in her heart.

Li Zixiao sat down at a table, and soon Lin Wan'er's maid brought two cups of fragrant tea.

After Li Zixiao sat down, he shouted softly again: "Wan'er, I'm really sorry about the marriage proposal, can you forgive me once." ”

When it comes to proposing, even with Lin Wan'er's generosity, her pretty face can't help but turn slightly red.

Her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, turned towards Li Zixiao, as if to blame why she came so late.

As soon as Li Zixiao came into contact with Lin Wan'er, his eyes seemed to be disgusted, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Li Zixiao had already understood Lin Wan'er's character, and knew that at this time, he would honestly admit his mistakes, and with Lin Wan'er's generosity, he would pass with a little anger.

The table where Li Zixiao and Lin Wan'er were sitting was not big, so the distance between the two was not too far.

Since Li Zixiao had just rushed over from Huai'an, he was covered with sweat and didn't have time to wipe it, which made a smell unique to men float straight to Lin Wan'er who was sitting on the side.

Based on the theory that opposites attract, the hormonal taste of male sex on Li Zixiao's body still has a great attraction to women.

Not to mention a lady like Lin Wan'er, who has never had contact with the opposite sex other than her father.

Glancing at Li Zixiao fiercely, Lin Wan'er blushed and said, "You have done this matter yourself, ask me what I am doing, it's not that I can't get married." ”

"Hehe, then I'll go to the house tomorrow to propose."

Saying that, Li Zixiao was very thick-skinned, approached Lin Wan'er's side, and grabbed her Qianqian jade hand.

Lin Wan'er's little hand was held by Li Zixiao, her heartbeat was 'bang', her face was red to the base of her neck, she broke free twice, and she didn't break free.

"You let it go, if I let my dad come back and see it, you'll be in big trouble." Lin Wan'er glanced at Li Zixiao and said.

"I held the hand of my future daughter-in-law, what was I afraid of." Li Zixiao said shamelessly.

But when Lin Wan'er heard this, she blushed, but she was happy in her heart.

I have to say that the women of this era are too simple, even Li Zixiao was also a ** silk in his previous life, and he has never been in love a few times.

But I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run, Li Zixiao was a little thick-skinned, and after saying a few words of flesh, he deceived the little girl.

"You go quickly, otherwise my father will come back later, and when he sees me secretly seeing you, you have to blame me, if you really want to marry me, you will come to the house tomorrow to propose."

At that time, during this time, your subordinate named Li Yan sold refined salt in Yangzhou at a low price, and the business was booming, and he could make a lot of money.

Then this person sent money to my father's prefect yamen in the name of paying taxes, which is indispensable to your instructions.

This makes my father's evaluation of you a lot higher, and I have also expressed my heart to my father, if you don't marry, tomorrow you come to propose, my father will agree. ”

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow to propose." Subsequently, Li Zixiao reluctantly left the Lin Mansion.

Sure enough, when Li Zixiao went to the Lin Mansion with the bride price the next day, Lin Yongnian's attitude towards him was much better than last time.

Lin Yongnian accepted Li Zixiao's bride price, which can be regarded as a promise to this family business, for Li Zixiao, Lin Yongnian is honest, and he still values it more.

This is much smoother than Li Zixiao imagined, and next, he will go to plan for the marriage, and when the elders of both sides set a date, he can marry Lin Wan'er.

So, whether to stay in Yangzhou or not is meaningless to Li Zixiao.

Yangzhou is different from Huai'an, Li Zixiao doesn't have to bother to plan and control, he just needs to marry Li Wan'er home safely, and it won't be long before Yangzhou will naturally be controlled by him.

…………………………………………

When Li Zixiao returned to Xuzhou, it was already late September, and the autumn harvest was about to end.

This year's year is not good, Xuzhou's grain output is barely maintained at last year's level, and the people will not have a good time this winter.

At this time, after Li Zixiao returned to Xuzhou, he convened his officials and held a short meeting on the topic of grain cultivation in the spring of the coming year.

In these years, the north of Daming mainly planted wheat and millet as staple food, these two as a great requirement for the year, plus the irrigation system in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, has long been overwhelmed, can only watch God eat.

God is happy, let this year's year be better, don't make droughts, soldiers or anything, the people in Xuzhou, the food planted is enough to feed them.

However, in the Xiaoice era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, various natural disasters were frequent, and Chongzhen could be regarded as pouring blood mold and spreading such an era.

It is difficult to feed too many people with two crops alone, wheat and millet.

This is also why, last year, Li Zixiao got sweet potato and corn seeds, found experienced old farmers, and tried to plant them for a year, and now there is good news.

"I came to you today to discuss the issue of this year's grain output, which is not objective."

Li Zixiao's words made Qiu Guangming below also look nervous.

"The rain this year is far worse than last year, and there is no way to do it." Qiu Guangming said helplessly.

"If it doesn't rain, won't the fields be irrigated? Taking advantage of this winter, the Qiu Governor's Mansion hopes that your prefect's yamen will be able to form a manpower.

Two canals were built in the north and south of Xuzhou, and more wells were dug to meet the needs of emergencies. Li Zixiao remembered that in the coming year, all parts of Daming would suffer from drought.

At that time, it was really a place of displaced people, especially in Shaanxi, Huguang, Sichuan and western Henan, and tens of thousands of rebel troops could emerge overnight.

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back." Qiu Guangming responded happily.

Since Qiu Guangming decided to take refuge in Li Zixiao, Qiu Guangming collected commercial taxes in the whole territory of Xuzhou in accordance with Li Zixiao's request.

In this way, Qiu Guangming's prefect's yamen, for the first time in so many years, was so rich that it was enough to spend a sum of money to build a canal.

"In addition, I have one more thing to tell you about next year's spring ploughing.

We are not busy planting sorghum and wheat in spring next year, we might as well change to other crop species! Li Zixiao continued.

As soon as Li Zixiao finished speaking, Qiu Guangming looked surprised, and said in his heart: What happened to the general today, how can the grain be planted casually, it will be a big incident.

After listening to this, Qian Guangyuan's eyes lit up, and he asked Li Zixiao: "My lord, is it because our experimental field has succeeded?" ”

Qian Guangyuan knew that last year, Li Zixiao brought a group of old farmers to plant a few experimental fields and try to plant two new crops.

And Li Zixiao seems to have great expectations for these two new crops.

"Haha, it's useless for me to talk about this matter, let's let Uncle Zhang tell you in person, Uncle Zhang, it's up to you to talk about this matter!"

As he spoke, Li Zixiao pointed to a corner of the hall.

At this time, the group of Xuzhou civil officials who followed Qiu Guangming and Qian Guangyuan to meet Li Zixiao noticed that there was an inconspicuous old man here.

Zhang Laohan, who was pointed out by Li Zixiao, looked very nervous and cramped, bowing to everyone in the hall again and again, and walked into the hall with a smiling face.

Li Zixiao said with a smile: "This Uncle Zhang was invited by me last year to help try to plant new crops, and Uncle Zhang is an old expert in farming!"

Uncle Zhang doesn't have to be restrained, the people here are our own people, just tell you about the two new crops you have planted in the past year! ”

Zhang Laohan agreed again and again, and said to Qiu Guangming, Qian Guangyuan and others: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiao Lao'er will not do anything in this life except for planting some fields.

Thanks to the general's affordability, he handed over such an important thing to Xiao Lao'er to do, and Xiao Lao'er planted those two new crops with all his heart this year, and finally achieved good results! ”

Qiu Guangming and the others continued to listen, especially Qian Guangyuan knew some inside information, and was even more looking forward to the results of Zhang Laohan's words at this time.

He was so busy that he had never visited the experimental fields that Zhang Laohan and several other old farmers were trying to plant in Yongcheng County, in fact, he had already forgotten about it.

Zhang Laohan smiled all over his face, and continued to everyone: "Little Lao'er said it, I'm afraid you adults won't believe it, the general has found a good crop for our Ming people!"

One of the two crops that the general asked us to plant, after planting, can produce at least a few thousand catties of grain per acre of land.

As long as we plant this season well and cultivate enough seedlings, we will never have to worry about food in the future! ”

After listening to Zhang Laohan's words, everyone present was taken aback.

To say that these civil officials in Xuzhou are also scholars, although they are not necessarily familiar with agricultural affairs, but at least they also understand some grain production.

Among the grains they have eaten in this world, the highest yield is rice in the south.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, the production capacity of various crops in Daming has a production capacity of 200 catties per mu, even if it is a very good harvest!

But this Zhang Laohan actually said that there is a crop that can yield thousands of catties per mu, if this is the case, it is simply scary to death, who can believe it!

"Bold! How dare you, a Diao Min, talk nonsense? Are we really three-year-olds?

What kind of crop species can yield thousands of catties per mu? Although we dare not say that we know agriculture, at least we have never heard of this crop!

You old man, don't talk nonsense here, bewitch the public, what is your intention to confuse the prefect and the general with such remarks! ”

At this time, an official under Qiu Guangming, after listening to Uncle Zhang's words, became angry and stood up and scolded.

He thinks that this is absolutely impossible, of course, this is not to blame this official, it is really Uncle Zhang's words, in this era, it is indeed a bit appalling.
