Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 563; I really don't want to brag

Chapter 560; I really don't want to brag

At three poles in the sun, Dongyuan, the mansion of General Qin.

"Lang Jun! Lang Jun? Didn't you say today that you are going to visit the Supreme Being and then leave and go back to our village?"

Lady Liu stood in front of Li Yu's couch and called softly, Li Yu sat up in a daze;

"Oh yes, I made an agreement with the empress yesterday, and today I am going to bid farewell to your majesty. Oh, now that I'm talking about it, why does the empress always want to drive me back recently? Really! I have a good time here. , and I don’t go out to drink, and I don’t go out to wander around..."

Lady Liu turned her head to order her subordinates beside her;

"Hurry up, wait for the gentleman to get up from bed."

"promise."

Mrs. Liu leaned aside and helped Li Yu get up;

"My lord, it will be summer harvest recently, but many people's fields are pitiful due to the drought. I am afraid that the harvest is less than one-tenth of previous years. Can the Supreme not worry? They are all forced to sin against themselves. The imperial edict is out, now who doesn't know that the Supreme is full of anger?

At this juncture, Her Majesty the Queen must want us to hide far away, so as not to make mistakes and make the Supreme Being unhappy. Do you think so? "

Li Yu, who was dressed, was still muttering unconvinced;

"It's true, but what does it have to do with me? I didn't force it, really!"

Mrs. Liu, the chief steward of Li's second-bedroom inner house, coaxed carefully;

"Lang Jun, don't worry about it too much. The slave family also thinks it's better for us to go back. You can play as much as you want. On our own land, you will be happy and happy. The slave family has found several for Lang Jun. Personal wives are familiar with each other, you can play however you want when you go back..."

"What's the use of looking for more, I'm still in the filial piety period, and there's still next year to come. At most, I can sleep with my arms around and can't eat! It's really boring."

Mrs. Liu accompanied Li Yu to the main hall after washing and sat down. The food was just served in the kitchen. Mrs. Liu arranged for a servant to serve the meal, and here she gently comforted her little man;

"Lang Jun, don't be bored. This year will be half a year. At most, next year will be over. By then, you will become a man, and you can do whatever you want. Your personal maid is not only the lady of the Lin family. Not to mention that there are seven others who are all perfect, not to mention that there are more than 2 horses living in our Lantian, which slave family you like will arrange it for you personally! Or the slave family asks our second-bedroom clansmen to draft once, You have seen that next year you will be able to let go of your body."

Li Yu, who ate a meatloaf in one go, drank two mouthfuls of millet porridge before speaking;
"I'm not a stallion. Why do I need so many women? Just get me dozens."

"Okay, okay, as much as you want."

Li Yu hammered his chest, with a yearning expression on his face;
"I want to be a big landlord, buy a lot of land and property, raise a lot of cattle and sheep, and get a lot of servants. This is what I want."

Lady Liu picked up a cloth towel and gently wiped the millet porridge from the corner of Li Yu's mouth, and said softly;
"As much land as you want, no matter how much you have, you have the final say on what you want to raise, but I think there are quite a lot of slaves. Our Longxi old nest has more than 3 people. You see, plus Lantian There are already a lot of people here, sir, if there are more, how much food and silver will be consumed every year!"

Li Yu, who worked hard to finish two bowls of millet porridge, put down the bowls and chopsticks and stood up;
"What are you afraid of? We can afford to feed as many people as possible, and we can't eat enough. When I go to the palace to say goodbye to His Majesty, let's go back to harvest the rice. I'll show you how powerful my skills are! Let's go to the palace. .”

"It's Mr. Lang. Come here! Prepare your horse and go out."

"only!"

Li Yu followed Liang boldly out of the courtyard humming a tune, all the way to the entrance of the palace, now there is no one guarding the city gate who doesn't know Li Yu, even the token given to him by the queen was greeted respectfully.

"Master Hou, please come this way, the saint has not been here for a long time, please go this way, slow down."

"Well. Here! Take it and buy something delicious."

"Hey, thank you, Lord Hou, for your reward."

The palace man brought Li Yu to the door of the study and was invited in. Li Yu didn't even look at it and just stood at the door of the study and bowed down to salute;
"I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as Li Yu raised his body, he saw a large group of people in the study, probably dozens of them, and they were all members of the Qin Palace's team. There was no way Li Yu greeted a group of people again and then stood aside.

Li Shimin is obviously in a bad mood and talks with civil and military officials with a dark face;

"What about the drought in Guanzhong? Is it necessary to cut production by more than half?"

A group of ministers looked at me and I looked at you, Fang Xuanling nodded helplessly;

"Returning to His Majesty, I'm afraid it's only [-]% of the previous year's income. It hasn't rained for nearly half a year, and [-]% of the income is because I am obedient."

Li Shimin tapped the table with his right hand;

"Guanzhong is our granary. If things go on like this... people will starve to death. No wonder those old men are so frightened."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"No way, Your Majesty, those who are close to the river can still contribute to carrying water, but the land far away from the river..."

"Your Majesty, this summer harvest is like this. If it comes to autumn... it may be even more serious."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the summer harvest is hopeless, and the people's families still have food left over to support them. If the autumn harvest continues like this... I'm afraid..."

Du Ruhui pulled the cuff of Cheng Yaojin's clothes halfway through his speech, and Cheng Yaojin scratched his head;
"Du Pushe, the family is right. If there is no harvest this autumn, don't say that the people are having a hard time. Will the people on the grassland be ready to move?"

Du Ruhui choked Cheng Yaojin helplessly;
"Knowing Jie, just say a few words, your Majesty is a hundred times more thoughtful than you think, how can you not know this?"

"Success! Is it okay to listen to you! Oh, I said Li Dalang, aren't you working on planting rice? How much can one mu of your land produce?"

Cheng Yaojin agreed impatiently, turned his head and saw Li Yu standing in the corner, and asked casually, Li Yu shrugged and said indifferently;

"If you go back to uncle, it's estimated that an acre of land is only four or five stones."

"What?"

"what?"

"impossible!"

"Bullshit!"

"This is simply a fool's dream!"

Niu Jinda looked at the old brothers next to him;
"Look! I said that if Li Dalang doesn't talk big for a day, his mouth will itch. I'm right, everyone?"

Li Shimin's face became even darker, he was very upset when he looked at Li Yu, he couldn't help being angry, and immediately scolded;

"Why don't you study at home and come to the palace? You're still bragging about it! When the weather is good in the first-class place, you will wait for two stones. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Yu lowered his head helplessly;
"Your Majesty, I'm not wrong. I covered the land with cloth and watered it with a new type of water truck. Of course, the weather is good..."

"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, hurry up and go back to study."

"Oh, it's Your Majesty. I want to come here to ask Your Majesty to resign. Yesterday I told the Empress that I will go back to Lantian to watch the harvesting of rice."

Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently;

"Go, go, I still have to discuss important matters with the important ministers, please resign and go back quickly."

"It's Your Majesty, oh yes, Your Majesty, I have one more request. I want to take some people out to learn more, and see how magnificent the mountains and rivers you conquered are Your Majesty..."

When Li Shimin heard Li Yu said that he was going to go out and run around, Wuming became angry, and slapped him on the table;
"What are you going to do again? If you don't wander around all day, you can't make it through, can't you? Can't you just stay at home and read a book in peace?"

Li Yu lowered his head helplessly, he didn't even have the strength to speak, this Li Shimin is simply crazy, he has to ask him for instructions even if he moves his ass, it's not worth it, and he doesn't like his mother's eyes everywhere;

"Returning to Your Majesty, I just want to go out for a walk, not to cause trouble, or just want to visit the place where Your Majesty won battles before, and I have no other intentions."

"Okay, okay, don't explain, go and play quickly, the people of Limin will soon have nothing to eat, and you still want to play around, go, go, don't even step into that study, it's really useless Promising things."

When Li Yu heard that she agreed, she quickly bent down;

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and that minister will retire now."

Li Shimin didn't want to say a word, he turned his head and waved his hands;

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm too lazy to talk to you, sooner or later the empress will make you a good-for-nothing."

Li Yu quickly exited the study and acted foolishly, causing Li Shimin to complain behind him;
"Look at it, huh? Look at it all, it's only been a few days of being honest? I can't wait to take people out to play in the mountains and rivers. I can't wait to go out and play. He is really a worthless thing."

"Your Majesty, calm down, Li Dalang is still a child."

"Yes, Your Majesty calm down."

"Is he still a child? He will be sixteen soon and still a child? When will he grow up?"

Li Yu came out of the study and listened to the discussion inside, shrugged his shoulders and said to the palace attendant next to him;

"Don't you think I am a child, Lord Hou?"

"Eh, when it comes to Master Hou, the slaves dare not speak nonsense."

"Slaves dare not speak."

"You don't dare to say that Master Hou said for you, I am a child, of course I have to look like a child, don't you worry about state affairs all day long?"

Several palace people accompanied the smiling faces without daring to answer a word, and sent the brazen Lord Hou out of the palace all the way, Li Yu sat in the carriage and ordered directly;
"Go out of the city and go back to Lantian, let them chase us after us, hurry up and leave this place of right and wrong, I don't think we will come to Chang'an City again this year, especially after autumn."

"It's Mr. Lang."

On the way home, Li Yu found six guards on a whim, and ordered them to compete. Whoever returns to the gate of Zhuangzili's mansion first will get ten guan coins, No. 2 eight guan, No. 3 five guan. The six guards were full of enthusiasm, beating their horses desperately...

By the time Li Yu returned to the gate of Lantian Mansion, it was already afternoon application time, and everyone began to unload their cars. Li Yu wandered with his guards to the house of Zou Shufen, the manager of the Agricultural University, but rushed to say that he was going to look at the millet in the field. Yu turned around and went to the field again, seeing the continuous sheds one by one, the north and south were covered with river banks, and Li Yu was so excited that she picked a shed at random to check it out.

After entering the greenhouse, Li Yu was overwhelmed with excitement. He fertilized and irrigated according to his plan, and opened it for ventilation to absorb sunlight every once in a while. The crops really grew, and all the ears of grain were bowed. He was in charge of the crops in this greenhouse. Han was observing carefully, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head to check, smiling from ear to ear;

"Patriarch, you are back. Come and take a look. Our crops are really tight. The villain estimates that the three acres of land can produce more than 20 stones."

Li Yu looked at the golden corn ears and scratched his head;

"More than 20 stones? Liu Sanlang, don't you get the number wrong? Then I'll be happy for nothing. In the morning in the palace, the Supreme One said I was blowing my mind."

The middle-aged man looking after the crops shook his head vigorously and waved his hands;
"No, no, the villain has been serving the crops for more than ten years, and he will never be mistaken for the patriarch. Besides, the three greenhouses that the villain is in charge of come here every day to weed and check. How can he be wrong?

Although the villain can't read numbers, but the villain's eyes can't be mistaken, the millet in this one mu of land can cover the three or four mu previously planted!
Patriarch, you can see that the tassels will be fully mature in at most three days. After three or four days, it will be a good time for harvesting. The villain also went nearby to see the grain of other Zhuangzi, which is simply horrible!

As far as this year's drought is concerned, our one mu of land may be able to cover more than 30 mu of other people's crops. The villain looks at other people's crops and just takes back a little more grain. How can it be as powerful as ours? "

Li Yu took an ear of grain that Liu Sanlang had plucked, crushed it and inspected it carefully;

"It's not bad, it's very full. It seems that you haven't let up. You are very hardworking. It's very good. It's an anecdote to be able to produce such a high yield during a drought."

"Yeah, sir, who would say otherwise? During the month you've been away, the clansmen didn't dare to relax at all. They almost all waited on their own fields. Every blade of grass would be removed and thrown out. That's why people are happy. "

After seeing the crops in this greenhouse, Li Yu basically knew what was in his mind, and walked out while nodding his head;
"This year's summer harvest is fine except in the south. It's cold in the north, which means we can have a good harvest. It's good if other people's homes have stuttering. Well, you can continue to look at your crops. I'll go find you Manager, talk."

Liu Laosan personally sent the patriarch out of the shed and pointed to a place not far away;

"Reporting to the patriarch, our chief steward is in the fifth shed over there, and the three sheds over there are personally taken care of by our chief steward, his sister and brother. The ones that grow there are the ones that people like. I saw them just now. The big steward went in, I guess he hasn't come out yet."

"Okay, you can do your work, I will go there by myself."

"It's the patriarch, then go slowly."
