Qiao Lan poked at the system and asked, "Before the National Strengthening Course starts next year, is it okay to change the plot of land?"
[Of course you can, host, don’t worry, 1818 is very adaptable! 】
Since the class could be held in a different place, Qiao Lan naturally had no objection.
"I focused on matters in the fields and ignored you." After Qiao Lan said this, she rummaged through the box next to her and took out the token given as a reward from the capital.
"It's time to think about when to return to the capital!"
-
Ever since Qiao Lan announced that she was going back to Beijing, everyone in her family was very happy.
Uncle Sun even cried and burned several handfuls of incense in front of Duan Yuexiu's memorial tablet, muttering words such as God's blessing.
Qiao Lan also asked Duan Mingjing to ask Mo Qiming if he was willing to go to the capital with the Duan family.
The Duan family's time with Mo Qiming was quite pleasant.
Not only was Mo Qiming great at martial arts, but he was also more considerate than the other sons of the Duan family in dealing with people and things. The children learned a lot from him and he was undoubtedly a good teacher.
If Mo Qiming follows him to the capital, the Duan family in both houses and banks will be prepared by him to prevent him from suffering any losses.
-
Mo Qiming was stunned when he heard Duan Mingjing say this. He was about to return to the capital so soon. What would the master say?
Everything must be subject to the master's arrangements.
Mo Qiming smiled and replied to Duan Mingjing: "Going to the capital is a big event. I have to write a letter to ask the elders at home first, and I will reply to you after some time."
Duan Mingjing understands that it is a big deal for his parents to travel far away.
Duan Mingjing nodded: "There's no hurry. Coach Mo will think about it slowly."
After sending Duan Mingjing away, Mo Qiming hurried back to his room and wrote a letter.
He must tell his master about this first!
-
In the capital, in an exquisite courtyard.
The red-painted carved window sill was slightly hidden, and the melodious sound of the piano floated out from the window.
Several birds chirped loudly, and a dove with fluttering wings crawled into the house along the window sill.
Chen Shu was waiting in the house. When he heard the noise and saw the pigeon, he immediately picked it up and untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet.
"Master, the letter from the south has arrived." Chen Shu respectfully handed the bamboo tube to him.
He Lanfeng stopped playing with the strings and took a look at the bamboo tube.
Just one glance made him so excited that he stood up from his chair and squeezed the small piece of paper in his hand tightly with his knuckles until they turned white.
Chen Shu asked curiously, "Master, what happened in the south?"
"News from Zhuangzi..." He Lanfeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "This year's yield per mu has reached a thousand catties."
Chen Shu was overjoyed, "This is a great thing!"
He wouldn't believe it if someone else could produce a thousand catties per acre, but the old lady was different. He believed in the old lady's ability.
Apart from being happy, Chen Shu could think of many more things.
"Where is your Majesty?"
He Lanfeng handed the note to the small incense burner beside the table. The incense burner was emitting fine smoke. As soon as the note entered the burner, the smoke became chaotic.
"I'm afraid your Majesty will be too busy. In a few days, I will tell you about the high yield in the south, but the quantity cannot be reported too high. As for whether your Majesty sees it or not, it is your Majesty's business..." He Lanfeng's soft voice
It sounded in the quiet room, soft and clear, like a soft and fluttering sword, but extremely sharp.
Chen Shu, "Subordinate, I understand."
A few days later, an official reported the high yields in the south, saying that the prefectures around Tongzhou had generally increased their yields by one to two hundred pounds, and even the farmland around the capital had also increased their yields under the influence of this fertilizer method.
There was great joy in the court hall. They said that God bless Beijing, and that it was God who had blessed the case with good weather this year. Some officials even flattered him, saying that this was the sign of a wise king, and that His Majesty was wise enough to have such a grand event.
He Lanfeng stood in the midst of singing praises with a smile on his face, but the smile could not reach his eyes.
He looked up at the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne, feeling very happy amidst the praise from everyone.
Take all of this as your own credit...
He Lanfeng stood quietly in the crowd with a calm expression.
Because of the good harvest in Beijing, the capital was full of joy.
There was a buzz of people for several days, and He Lanfeng once again received a message from the south.
This time, the smile on his face finally became more sincere.
"The old lady is coming to Beijing, please prepare."
Even the smile on Chen Shu's face became more sincere, "Yes, Master."
-
The Duan family is preparing to go to Beijing.
They didn't bring much with them when they came back. In the past few years, what they had settled in the countryside were mostly daily necessities.
Even if I don't take it back to the capital, I won't feel heartbroken.
The fields can be taken care of by people on the village, the chickens in the back mountains can be sold if they can be sold, and the ones that cannot be sold can be raised on the village. The houses can also be left to the people on the village to guard.
After all, Mr. He carefully selected them. It is better for them to come and see them from time to time than for the old house to gather dust and no one.
After several years of hard work in cultivating the fertile land, the only thing Qiao Lan couldn't let go of was a fruit grove on the edge of the field.
She has worked hard to graft and pollinate them for several years. She is also preparing to carefully raise them in the winter and wait for next year's harvest. Unfortunately, they are leaving this year!
What a pity!
While the Duan family was busy packing their things, Duanjia Village became lively.
The boy from the Du family passed the exam!
It’s been a long time since Duanjiacun had a candidate!
The Du family was shouting all over the city and invited many people to have tea with them! In addition to people from the village, there were also many lords from the county and Tongzhou. The scene was very lively.
Compared with the grandeur of the Du family, the Duan family is much more low-key. They didn't even tell the villagers that they had passed the exam, and the family still immersed themselves in their daily lives.
Now I have to pack my things and go back to the capital, and I am so busy that I have no time to say hello to the people in the village.
-
Duan Mingjing is painting in the house. When the children at home know that Duan Mingjing is busy every day and cannot make noise, they usually stagger their play time with Duan Mingjing's painting time, or play quietly in the yard.
The Du family wanted to have some fun, but the village was so big, and the sound of the excitement inevitably spread to the Duan family's yard.
Duan Mingjing painted for a while and left the yard upset.
Standing at the door of his yard and looking across the threshold, Mo Qiming happened to be coming back from outside. The two of them met and said hello.
"What are you looking at, Master Er?"
"Let me see how busy the Du family is. Is there another banquet?"
Mo Qiming had seen the Du family lively on the way back and stayed at the Duan family for a while. Mo Qiming also knew about the unpleasant things between the Duan and Du families.
"There's no banquet. I threw some fried beans for the kid at the door."
There are many children, which sounds lively. Many families will attract some children to share things when they have happy events.
Duan Mingjing looked away with a look of disdain: "What do I think? This Du family is getting more and more stingy!"
The last time I took the exam, I had a banquet, but this time I didn’t even have a banquet and just distributed the beans to the guests.
