Chapter 250
Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, the matter of the new seed was discussed by the ministers.
Only Liang Shangshu and the emperor knew about this matter, but they all knew about it just one day later, and I am afraid that it was leaked by people around the emperor.
Above the court, Liang Shangshu fought with all the heroes, and finally won three years for the people. After three years, almost all the people in the north can plant new seeds, and the court will double the grain tax.
This is the longest time Liang Shangshu has fought for the people. According to those courtiers, if you charge more, you will pay more. That is to say, if it is not for Liang Shangshu, the people in the north will have to pay double the grain tax from next year. up.
It was already early October when Liang Zhifu received his father's reply letter, and most of the northern regions had already started plowing the land for planting winter wheat.
After seeing the letter, he clenched his fist angrily, regretting that he should not have listened to Xi'er's persuasion and insisted on reporting it to the court.
The common people have just lived a good life for a few days, and now they have to pay double the grain tax, and the increase in production has not increased so much.
He and Qi Yuan hurriedly came to Huaishu Town to find Xi'er, and told her what the court wanted.
"The imperial court will double the food tax for the northern people in three years' time."
"Then you parents and officials have to step up and promote winter wheat quickly, and strive to let the people have some surplus food in three years."
"Can you think of a way, besides growing food to make the people rich, what else should they do to make them richer?"
"Farming, fish, shrimp, lotus root, pig, cow, sheep, chicken, fruit trees, if not, you can also grow a greenhouse. As long as you work hard, why don't you make money?"
"Everything is done, and your workshop can't accept it."
"What I make in my workshop is finished products, and I only supply them to a place as big as Quzhou. The north is so big, and Quzhou is not the only one. My family can't collect that much. I can sell fresh ones to others. Why are you just pointing at my house?" ?”
"Can't you open a few more workshops elsewhere?"
"I have enough money to spend, so I don't want to bother."
"Then let's make a fuss, you provide the prescription, we contribute people and effort, can you make a profit?"
"You should promote the new seeds first, and then see how many people want to start a side business, and then talk about it later?"
"All right,"
Time passed quickly. On October [-]th, Chen Changsheng and Qian Furong got married, and Xi'er took Mrs. Luo to the wedding.
Chen Changsheng also bought land and built a house in the town, and he took all his family members there. When Qian Furong got married, he lived in Liang's house in the town, so it was closer and more convenient.
Her parents and relatives were all here. As a great matchmaker, Xi'er naturally couldn't keep a low profile.
As promised, she gave a pot of Yunwu tea tree as a congratulatory gift, which made Liang Zhifu greedy, wishing to snatch it immediately.
Others don't know the goods, but he is a person who knows the goods. You can't buy such a tea tree if you have money. Not only Liang Zhifu, but as long as you know the goods, everyone is secretly enduring it.
What are you talking about? After the wedding is over, if you want to get a plant from Miss Xi'er, she can grow it with anything. It's amazing.
The marriage between Chen Changsheng and Qian Furong went smoothly, and the lovers finally got married.
In the blink of an eye, it was November, and Long Tianlin asked Ji Kang to drink tea together. The two sat in the private room on the second floor facing the street, drinking tea while looking at the bustling street outside.
"How have you been during this time?"
"It's all done"
"My lord sees that you don't even have a nanny by your side, how about this lord?"
"No, I have hands and feet, and I can take care of myself."
"Then get you two followers?"
"No, if my wife comes and there are other men in the courtyard, I'm still not willing."
"Miss her?"
"Of course I do. My wife said she would come and spend the New Year with me. I'll wait for her."
Long Tianlin was taken aback, "I also said that I went to Huaishu Town during the New Year, and your wife is here, so why should I go?"
"You still have unreasonable thoughts about my wife?"
"No, it's enough to be beaten once. I just think your lady always makes good things, so it's more convenient to guard her."
"She promised to give you business?"
"Ang, you said you would give it to me during the Chinese New Year, but I didn't treat her badly, I gave her a share,"
"That's what it should be. She made you money. If you don't distinguish her, be careful that she will beat you."
Long Tianlin smiled embarrassingly, "Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted? Have you heard that the emperor ordered to increase the grain tax in the north?"
Ji Kang straightened his face, then nodded.
"It's a new seed that my wife fiddled with. I thought it would allow the people to save some surplus food, but I didn't expect that the increase in food production would bring them a tax increase."
"It's an increase, but the harvested grain is still more than the handed in,"
"The people encountered disasters, and the food production was reduced. I haven't seen the court cut taxes?"
"There is a reduction, but the local officials don't do anything"
"Hmph, they're all in their own pockets. If they copy a few houses and have everything, they will take the honest poor people to the knife."
"Actually, the king invited you here to ask you something."
"Speak up if you have something to say"
After getting along with each other during this time, the two have become good friends.
Long Tianlin didn't know what to say, he thought for a while, "It's like this, I have a friend who accidentally saw you and thought it looked familiar, so I asked this king about you, and when I heard that you were an orphan, I was very excited , want to meet with you."
"You mean I have something to do with your friend's family?"
"Not necessarily. There are many strangers who look similar. It's just that you never wanted to find your relatives?"
"I don't want to, I'm living a good life now, without them, would I be alive differently?"
"Yeah, if you don't live together, where does the family relationship come from? That bit of blood doesn't mean anything."
"My wife told me, let the past go, and live a good life now, there is no need to add trouble to yourself, so what if you find it, after 20 years of separation, when we meet again, it is no different from a stranger .”
"That being said, it would be a blessing if the person who gave birth to you can be found."
"For my wife and I, it doesn't matter, as long as the two of us depend on each other for our lives in the future."
While talking, the door of the private room rang, and Long Tianlin said, "Come in."
A tall man walked in wearing a cloak. When he took off the hat, Ji Kang was stunned. How could this man look so much like himself?
The two men looked at each other. After the man hung up the cloak, he came to the table, gave Long Tianlin an arched hand, and then smiled at Ji Kang.
"Little brother, I am the eldest son of General Weiyuan, and my name is Ji Yong."
Ji Kang's heart trembled, "Your surname is Ji too?"
"Yes, I was the one who asked the Ninth Prince about you."
"My surname is called after my adoptive father's family."
"I sent someone to check your adoptive father's house. They have nothing to do with our Ji Mansion. It's purely a coincidence that we have the same surname, but our looks are intriguing. Don't you think there is something in it?"
"Your family lost a child many years ago?"
"Yes, I lost it when I was looking at the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival. He is my little brother. My parents went crazy and people searched for a long time, but they couldn't find it. I still feel sad when I mention it. Not to mention, your age is also similar to the lost child of our Ji family, there are many coincidences, so you have to ask the prince to help."
"I'm a sixth-rank official, you can talk to me about this matter alone."
"You don't know how much the prince protects you. Besides, the prince and I are also friends. It's more natural for us to introduce you like this."
Ji Kang is very sensible, his background is not important to him, as long as he knows who he was born of, as long as the other family is fine.
He didn't want people to destroy his existing life, and he didn't want his little wife to serve her parents-in-law like other wives, she was too tired.
The young and old of the Luo family, she has to take care of everyone, her friends, and the people around Huaishu Town. She only has one pair of hands and one head, and he loves her so much.
