There are many things scattered in the silkworm room.
Shao Xun picked up a piece of cloth and rubbed it subconsciously.
In the spring, he raised some silkworms. He originally planned to weave some cloth and coax his young wife, thinking that they would have fun as a couple. However, after he went on an expedition for more than half a year, the matter was delayed.
When I came back now, I saw that Yu Wenjun had knitted some cloth by himself and cut it out. It seemed that he was going to make children's clothes - no, he had already made them, and there were several sets lying nearby.
After putting down the cloth, he thought of the shogunate's report on mulberry trees this year.
The four counties of Chen, Nanton, Xincai and Xiangcheng began to cultivate a large number of mulberry seedlings last year. They were transplanted at the beginning of this year and now have about 100,000 acres of mulberry forests.
In fact, very slowly.
There are more than 77,000 households in these four counties, and each household only has an average of just over an acre.
In fact, most people did not plant at all, and a few families planted a few acres. To be precise, they transplanted the five acres of land allocated to them. The thirty acres of land were not touched at all, and were all used to grow food.
.
Those who actively responded to the call of the shogunate were generally the families of sergeants, officials, petty officials, or households closely connected with them.
For two consecutive years, Yu Wenjun led a group of female relatives to "show off", and with the promotion of the government, the trend he created was nothing more than that - if you think about it from another perspective, it's not bad. In ancient times, with such administrative efficiency, bicycles were not needed.
If you want to speed up the process, there is actually a way, which is to re-define the tax system and force these households to pay silk every year.
With this order, the craze for preserving mulberry plants will sweep across Henan.
But now the time is not yet ripe.
First, let the government continue to promote it among the farmers of the camps, the soldiers and their tribes, and the families of the enlisted soldiers. At the same time, they asked the commander of Wubao and the owner of the manor to give many instructions and slowly restore the sericulture industry in Henan.
At present, everything seems to be on the right track.
After three years of adjustments, the depleted financial resources of the people of Henan have slowly recovered.
These four counties, together with Runan, Yingchuan and the Liang Kingdom that my father-in-law had been reorganizing for a year, were connected together. They developed every year and gradually became a solid foundation for him to conquer the world.
The overlord of western Henan is well deserved.
After sitting in the silkworm room for a while, Shao Xun became a little irritable.
After a while, I couldn't help but walked out and stood on the corridor, staring at the bedroom subconsciously.
His father set up a table in the corridor, placed a wine flask, poured two bowls of wine, and invited him to sit down.
Shao Xun walked over, sat down, picked up the wine bowl, and took a sip.
"Be calm and don't be impatient. Wen Jun has always been kind-hearted, so nothing will happen to him." Shao Xiu said softly.
Shao Xun nodded, but he was still a little worried.
Le Lanji had given birth to a child before, so when she gave birth to Jin Dao, he was not worried at all.
Lu Xun had never given birth to a child, so when he gave birth to Badger Lang, he was a little worried.
But Wenjun is different. They all say that a bowl of water is equal, but is it possible in reality? Besides, she is only seventeen years old, which is too young.
Only then did he see his heart clearly.
Which women are lustful and simply want to collect stamps;
Which women are useful, collect stamps and use them at the same time;
Which women really care...
He found himself quite scary.
If in another world, for example, a martial artist could dominate himself with the handle of a knife in his hand, instead of facing the constraints of various large and small families and social customs and values, he would probably be too lazy to flirt with some women.
"Some relatives at home are making a lot of noise and crying." Shao Xiu added: "They may have looked for you, but don't pay attention. Most of them were scolded by me. Who is capable and who is not, I will tell them all.
Chu, we have all grown up watching it, and you can tell what shit you are pulling as soon as you raise your butt. Most people are not even qualified to run errands. Give them some land and ask them to recruit a few families to help cultivate it, and then they can be worthy of them."
Shao Xun nodded again.
"Your sister is still in Yangxia and will probably come back after the new year."
"How is your life at Yuan's house?"
"Yuan Chong, that old fox, is very good at life. His eldest son followed others to the south a few years ago, so he made his second son the head of the family. He started to take charge of the family business when he was still young. In this way, your sister will not suffer any loss if she marries him.
of."
Shao Xun hummed.
My younger sister got married this year. She married into the Yuan clan, the largest local gangster in Chen County, and became the wife of Yuan Chong's second son, Yuan Neng.
Many members of the Yuan family migrated south during the Eight Kings Rebellion, such as Yuan Gui, Yuan You, etc.
Yuan Chong's family is considered slow-moving. Except for the eldest son who traveled south with him, the others are basically staying in Yangxia, and now they don't want to leave at all.
The Yuan family of Yangxia has always been very supportive of Shao Xun.
When he had just granted the title of Chen Commandery, he had rushed over to him, and now he was even more clinging to him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to ask his second son to marry Shao Xun's sister. It is said that he was secretly ridiculed by some people.
But ridicule is ridicule, Lao Yuan doesn't care anymore, he only wants to show his face, not face.
Yuan Neng is now the nominal head of the Yuan family, and will be appointed as the magistrate of Yan County in the new year. This is a county under Yingchuan, not far from Xuchang, and it is relatively convenient to travel there.
After his younger sister got married, his eldest nephew Shao Shen officially married the daughter of the Du family in Yiyang.
These two marriages were both moves to consolidate the foundation.
There will be a niece's marriage later, but she can't marry into a big family. The necessary balance still has to be mastered.
There were footsteps nearby.
Shao Xun turned around, but his mother grabbed his ears and said, "Xiao Chong, why are you still hanging here? Wenjun is pregnant."
"Ah?" Shao Xun was stunned for a moment, and Xuan Er's heart dropped. He couldn't help but said with joy, "How come you didn't hear the cry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud cry came from inside the house.
After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded.
Shao Xun walked a few steps quickly and came to the bedroom door, trying to reach his head and look inside.
Blushing, Mrs. Yin stood at the door holding the baby, looked at Shao Xun, and whispered: "Congratulations to Mr. Lang on the tiling."
After that, he looked at Shao Xun and hurriedly closed the door.
"Haha!" Shao Xun smiled easily.
It doesn't matter if you have a son or a daughter, as long as you are safe.
It's a pity that I can't visit the delivery room now, otherwise I would have to go in and comfort my wife.
He knew that Wenjun had always wanted a son.
This is nothing to worry about, they are still young and can just be reborn.
Father Shao Xiu looked at it from a distance and smiled.
He now also knows the difference between "Nongzhang" and "Nongwa". His point of view is the same as Shao Xun's, just continue living.
He vaguely heard that there was a grandson in Kaocheng and a granddaughter in Nanyang, but he didn't know if there were other places.
Thinking of this, I glanced at my son and secretly scolded this little beast for leaving seeds everywhere and not bringing his grandchildren home for him to hold. It was really unreasonable.
"Over at the Yu family, send someone to report it." Shao Xun suddenly remembered and ordered.
Cai Cheng agreed and reminded: "The old lady has already sent someone."
"Oh..." Shao Xun shook his head and laughed.
In this family, he seems to be superfluous, and other things have already been taken care of in an orderly manner.
"I will give each of my close soldiers a piece of silk as a reward."
"As commanded."
After giving the instructions, he took another look at the delivery room and then went to the backyard.
Lan Ji and Xun Niang were playing in the courtyard with their children. When they saw Shao Xun coming, they all saluted.
"Grandpa." Jin Dao was bigger. After seeing Shao Xun, he rushed over and hugged him. Then he climbed up his thigh with skillful movements and soon reached his arms, heading straight for the final target: the beard.
Badger Lang was smaller, and after looking at him timidly, he said: "Master."
Shao Xun walked over, took Badger Lang into his arms with his right hand.
The two children, one on the left and the other on the right, pulled his beard and giggled.
Shao Xun endured the severe pain and looked at Lan Ji and Xun Niang.
At this moment, the eyes of the two women are the gentlest.
Shao Xun sat on the spacious backrest bed.
The golden knife and Badger Lang stood on one side and ravaged his hair.
"My son, don't mess around." Shao Xun said helplessly: "If your beard and hair are messed up, your father will lose his majesty. If the soldiers look down upon him, I'm afraid he won't be able to win the battle."
Lan Ji and Xun Niang laughed so happily that they came over one after another and took the child down.
Badger Lang was still obedient, so Jin Dao hugged Shao Xun's neck and refused to let go.
"Jin Dao, how many words have you learned this year?" Shao Xun asked seriously.
Jin Dao trembled, let go of his hand, and was hugged by his mother.
Shao Xun laughed. Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, it is always correct to use this trick to deal with naughty children, and it will always be detrimental.
After being picked up by Jin Dao and Badger Lang, they quickly started playing with them.
Jin Dao walked in front, and Badger Lang was like a follower, walking on short legs, with a runny nose, and screamed.
The wet nurse observed their words and led them elsewhere.
Shao Xun held the two beauties in his arms, basked in the sun, and groaned with satisfaction.
Spending time with your family by your side is extremely satisfying and much more interesting than fighting and killing.
It is true that the harmony between these women may not be as harmonious as it seems, but at least so far, everything is still controllable, right?
As long as those two heavyweights don't come, this harem won't explode...
"After the spring club, do you want to go out with me for a walk?" Shao Xun said softly, stroking the woman's soft back and buttocks with his left and right hands.
"Where to go?" Lan Ji's voice sounded in her ears.
Xunniang also looked over curiously.
"Go to Nanyang." Shao Xun said.
Lan Ji's eyes lit up, a little surprised.
Xunniang was not interested and a little sad.
Shao Xun kissed her and said, "You come with me."
Lu Xun shook his head and said: "I am very happy that Lang Jun has this intention. After the attack on Youzhou in the future, I will definitely follow Lang Jun home."
"That's alright." Shao Xun didn't force it, and looked at Lan Ji again and said, "Do you want to bring the golden sword with you?"
Lan Ji was a little moved, a little worried, and hesitant.
"Let's talk about it then." Shao Xun smiled and said.
Of all the loves in the world, family love has always been the most important.
Lan Ji has not seen her mother for several years. She heard that the old lady is not in good health. If she does not take this opportunity to see her, she may never see her again in the rest of her life.
If possible, it would be a good thing for the old lady to meet her grandson whom she has never met. But Lan Ji is worried about the risks. After all, Kai Nian is only six years old. If she has concerns in her heart, there is nothing she can do.
In fact, as far as he is concerned, he is still willing to take his son with him.
The presence of mother and son can also make the wealthy families headed by the Nanyang Le family feel at ease.
Alas, to put it bluntly, he is still using women, even his son.
If you want to blame it, blame it on the damn time and background. I really am not a scumbag.
