Hate the child to get married, Ma Ye was drunk that night, he didn't sleep and had to chat with Li Xiu, Li Xiu could only accompany him, it is estimated that every father is in such a tangled mood as Ma Ye when his daughter gets married, that is, he is happy and very reluctant, and the drunk Ma Ye also became very talkative, holding Li Xiu's hand and talking drunk in the middle of the night, and finally was pulled back by the Guanghua County Lord.

Three days later, the married Haunt returned to the door according to the rules, Ma Ye didn't find anyone else, so he found Li Xiu's family, he and Li Xiu accompanied Shangguanyi to drink, and Princess Pingyang and they accompanied Hate Er to chat some private words.

"Virtuous son-in-law, the assignment of the imperial court has come down, when do you plan to go to Suzhou to take office?" Ma Ye had a drink with Shangguan Yi at this time, and then asked.

"The court also knew that I was going to get married, so it didn't urge me to take office, but I didn't want to delay it for too long, and I also discussed it with Hate Er in the past two days, and I plan to leave in seven days. Shangguan Yi said a little embarrassed at this time, although he was young and old, he was still a young man after all, he had only served in the Ministry of Agriculture before, and he did not have the slightest experience in governing a county.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to help you in this matter, because neither I nor Uncle Ma have any experience in this area, but I think governing the local government is nothing more than two aspects, one is to pay close attention to public security, and the other is to encourage industry and commerce, as long as these two aspects are done well, the performance should not be bad." Li Xiu also smiled at this time.

"No, although I have never been a civil official, I have also heard that the most important thing after arriving in the local area is to encourage agriculture and build water conservancy, after all, agriculture is the foundation of the country, why do you attach importance to industry and commerce?" Ma Ye asked incomprehensibly when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"My father-in-law didn't know that if he was in the local government before, he should indeed pay attention to farming, but with the promotion of sweet potatoes and corn by our Ministry of Agriculture, food has no longer become a local problem, even if the poor and lazy people can reclaim a few acres of wasteland and plant some sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs, so now if the local government wants to make political achievements, it must work hard in industry and commerce!" Without waiting for Li Xiu to speak, Shangguan Yi explained on his behalf that he was originally from the Ministry of Agriculture, and he was naturally very clear about the effect of high-yield crops.

"I see, I forgot the credit of your Ministry of Agriculture." Ma Ye couldn't help but pat his head when he heard this, but then he said with some unease, "The scenery over there in Suzhou is not bad, but after all, it is in the south, and the climate is relatively humid and hot, so you and Ha'er should also pay more attention to your body!" ”

Suzhou is also a very famous city in the Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of the people of Guanzhong, it is still a hot and humid place in the south, coupled with the current backward medical conditions, a minor illness that is not suitable for water and soil may kill people, so the exchanges between the north and the south are not as frequent as in later generations, and the prisoners assigned by the Tang Dynasty are sent to the south, which shows the poor conditions in the south.

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern, I and Ha'er will definitely pay attention, but I also just found out that Ha'er still knows medical skills, and I don't worry about getting sick when I get to the south." Shangguan Yi first thanked Ma Ye, and then said with a smile. Li Xiu is a famous miracle doctor in the Tang Dynasty, and of course Ha'er understands medical skills, but Ha'er's medical skills are not learned from Li Xiu, but from Sun Simiao, but she doesn't learn much medical skills, and she has no practical experience, so she can only deal with ordinary minor diseases.

"That is, this girl has learned a lot from Li Xiuke, medical skills, arithmetic, astronomy and geography, etc., even if you are a Jinshi and a first, I'm afraid there are some places that can't compare to her!" Ma Ye heard Shangguan Yi's praise and hatred, and immediately said with a smug face, his daughter is naturally much stronger than other people's.

"Haha, Uncle Ma, don't boast about hate, since You Shao married hate, he naturally saw that hater is extraordinary, let's talk about You Shao's trip to Suzhou this time, speaking of which Suzhou is close to the sea, if you want to develop the local economy, you can think of a way from the sea." Li Xiu also laughed when he heard Ma Ye's words, and then spoke again.

"What I said is that the county I took office is called Haiyan County, which belongs to a county under Suzhou, just by the sea, and you can also hear it from the name of the county, this county is rich in sea salt, but because of the war, the salt pans in Haiyan County have been greatly damaged, and now the output of sea salt is not high, so I plan to go there and focus on repairing the salt fields and resuming the production of sea salt!" Shangguan Yi also said excitedly at this time, after receiving the appointment, he had already done a lot of homework and had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Haiyan County.

"This method is good, but the salt industry has always been controlled by the imperial court, even if you resume the production of sea salt, it can only make the income of the county government, and the effect on the people is not too great, so in addition to the salt industry, I think you can consider it from other aspects, such as fishing, your seafood is abundant, if it can be transported to the mainland, it will definitely be very popular." When Li Xiu heard this, he suggested again that salt and iron have always been the lifeblood of an agricultural country, and since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it has been firmly controlled by the state.

"Haiyan is indeed rich in all kinds of seafood, but among these seafoods, except for a few seafood that can be made into dry goods, other seafood is easy to spoil, I'm afraid it can't be shipped to Chang'an at all, right?" Shangguan Yi frowned when he heard Li Xiu's words, he also knew that the sea was rich in products, but preservation was a big problem, as for transportation, it could be solved, after all, Yangzhou, not far from Suzhou, was the end of the Grand Canal, and the production of Haiyan County could be transported from the Central Plains and Guanzhong by water.

"Hey~, why did you forget, don't we have canned food, this thing was originally used to preserve food, and now there are canned fruits and canned meat, you can build a canned seafood over there, as long as the market is opened, it will definitely be very popular!" Ma Ye slapped his thigh at this time and said, he was in charge of the canning workshop, so he also thought of a solution to the preservation of seafood for the first time.

"Uncle Ma is right, canned food is the key to solving the problem of seafood preservation, it just so happens that canned food is our family's industry, this time Uncle Ma can pick a few stewards to follow You Shao and Ha'er to take office to help them develop the local economy." Li Xiu also smiled at this time, now Datang only attaches importance to the inland and ignores the coast, resulting in most of the economy in the coastal area being relatively backward, such as the most prosperous Guangzhou, which is still very different from metropolises like Chang'an and Luoyang.

"Thank you, father-in-law, colt!" Shangguan Yi was also excited when he heard this, he didn't expect that before he took office, Li Xiu and Ma Ye had already helped him choose a path to politics, it can be said that as long as he is not too stupid, he can develop Haiyan, and with this political achievement, I am afraid that he will soon be able to transfer back to Chang'an to take office.

This meal of wine was drunk until the sun set in the west in the afternoon, and finally Shangguan Yi had been poured by Ma Ye's face was so red that he couldn't even stand up, which also made Ha Er complain, and then helped Shangguan Yi to get into the carriage with his own hands, and then said goodbye to Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua with tears.

Li Xiu was happy today, and also accompanied Ma Ye and Shangguan Yi to have a few drinks, plus the weather turned hot at this time, he also felt a little hot and dry, so he walked along the Yellow Canal, while enjoying the oncoming cool breeze, unconsciously, he finally came to the vicinity of the Xinzhu School, and more coincidentally, at this time, only heard a crisp bell from the school, and then a group of students rushed out of the school happily, it turned out that the school was out of school in the afternoon.

The students in the school are the children of the nearby Zhuangzi, but some of the Zhuangzi are a little far away from the school, so the school leaves school early in the afternoon, so that they can return home before dark, but the students are greedy for fun, for example, after these students rush out of the school, some of them have a little change in hand, and immediately rush to the small stall in front of the school gate to buy snacks or toys, and those who have no money are looking at it with their eyes, and some children who have bought things are more generous, and they share their things with friends who have a good relationship, which makes more children envious.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Li Xiu's eyes couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence, the scene in front of him was too similar to his childhood, he remembered that when he was a child, he was also very poor, and he was very short of food, but China in later generations took just thirty years to change the backward face of the country, but I don't know how far the Tang Dynasty can go in the future?

Just when Li Xiu watched the students fall into contemplation, he suddenly saw a group of students walking out of the school, this group of students was talking and laughing while walking, and obviously one of the students was the leader, only to see this student bring other people to a stall selling Hu cakes in front of the school, and very boldly invited other children to eat Hu cakes, which also made the children around a lot of jubilation, after all, these children are growing up, and they have been hungry for an afternoon, and they are already hungry at this time, although the other snacks are delicious, but they are obviously not as hungry as Hu Cakes.

Li Xiu had also noticed this group of students for a long time, because the student in the lead was Li Ke, in fact, Li Ke also saw Li Xiu at this time, which made him look stunned when he was about to entertain, but then he smiled embarrassedly at Li Xiu, and still bought Hu cakes for these students who had a good relationship with him, and then said a few more words, then said goodbye to them, and walked to Li Xiu's side.

"Nephew to see uncle!" I saw that after Li Ke came to Li Xiu, he immediately saluted him.

"No need to be polite, did I make the question I gave you before?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ke with a smile and said, he didn't feel anything about Li Ke's act of inviting guests, after all, as Li Ke, it was normal to use such a method to establish a good relationship with his classmates.

"It's done, and I also asked my mother for advice, and my mother also has a message for me to bring to you!" Li Ke said solemnly at this time.
