The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Master Tai was very happy, and several "water conservancy engineers" who accompanied him also ran over very excitedly, talking about the experience of building reservoirs and fish ponds, a little carried away.

Xing'er couldn't help frowning slightly.

Lord Tai showed the aura of the prefect, put on a straight face, and solemnly reminded: "Special attention must be paid to the leakage of reservoirs and ponds, so that the water can be preserved for a longer time, and it must be a century-old project! It must be done well. Work hard, take it seriously, if the government finds out that you have cut corners and materials, you will not be spared!" the head said.

Myolie couldn't help admiring Master Tai like this.

very good!As a parent officer, you should have this kind of tolerance!Don't be greedy, tyrannical, and don't harm the village; however, you can't be a bookworm who can be deceived by others, weak and deceptive, and doesn't distinguish between grains and grains!

Such a good man, what a pity, I don't know which girl will be cheaper?Alas, if there is no Shen Jie, she will fall in love with Lord Tai and regard him as the No.1 choice for her future husband!Speaking of it, whether it is Dingguohou or Xiaoyaohou, the threshold seems to be too high!

Just like Hou Men, as deep as the sea!

Between Xing'er's brows, there was a hint of sadness.

Master Tai stared at her, then quickly moved away, lowered his eyelids, and hid the deep love under his eyelashes.In full view, he dare not let others see through his thoughts. If people know that he loves her deeply, then he may not be able to use his identity as senior brother and magistrate to visit her frequently in the backing village and discuss with her. People's livelihood and people's sentiments!

Xing'er was smiling at Mimi watching the fiery labor scene, and didn't notice the change in his expression, and said with a smile of interest: "Brother, I have already planned the land in Luotan Town and Maozhu Town. At the beginning of spring, the planting area of ​​sweet potatoes must occupy at least [-]% of the land! Except for some diehards and bullies, all farmers are forced to plant sweet potatoes. In order to appease the villagers, all kinds of taxes are exempted for those who grow sweet potatoes !"

"This method is good!" Lord Tai nodded and smiled, with a cheerful and cheerful expression, and laughed loudly: "If taxes are exempted, the resistance will be reduced to the minimum. I believe that most of the common people will follow the princess's suggestion! As for those big bullies, and Those who are cruel, don’t pay attention to them, and don’t plant them! I will recommend this method to other places, and our entire Lizhou region will implement it like this!”

Master Tai is full of joy, the proposal of tax exemption is really good!Hey, anyway, the coming year will be a year of severe drought, and the common people must be miserable.That tax, even if you want to collect it, you have more than enough heart but not enough power!

The two talked and laughed happily, walking among the mountains and rivers, talking about various plans and measures for the coming year.Master Tai is elegant and handsome, modest and polite, Myolie is playful and lively, cheerful and generous.When others saw it, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, but secretly admired it in their hearts: the magistrate is kind and gentle, and loves his name like a son; the princess of Anran is dignified and generous, and he is a model for women.

While talking happily, Dongfang Yunshu suddenly rushed to report: "My lord, my lord, Xiaoyaohou is here! At this moment, I am in Taoran Residence, and I have brought an imperial edict. Please, my lord and my lord, go to receive the order together!"

Happy Marquis?What is he here for? !

Master Tai frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy in his heart, and his bright smile faded a lot.Xing'er was also stunned, and subconsciously said, "What is he doing here? What's causing the trouble?"

I can't be happy either.There is Shen Jie, Lord Tai, and Qin Mo. These three people are all interested in him, and many people in the backing village know it well.Come another Xiaoyaohou, do you still want your own reputation?If there is no result between her and Shen Jie, then, in this county, can she still get married?

Master Tai glanced at her secretly and found that she was not very happy either, so he was immediately happy.That small eye, it's gone in one go!Hehe, as long as Xing'er doesn't have Xiaoyaohou in her heart, it's useless to let him make troubles!

Old Master, but support Myolie to choose between him and Fifth Senior Brother Shen Jie!Myolie's family also likes him very much and gets along well with his mother.Lord Xiaoyao, you are far behind!

When the two returned to Tao Ranju, Xu Youran was drinking tea and chatting in the hall, with third uncle Chai Liang and Master Su as companions.Master Su and Xu Youran are old acquaintances, and they had a good time with each other when they were in the capital.

Xing'er came forward to say hello generously: "Oh, Lord Hou is here, it's really full of glory!" She didn't have the shyness and coquettishness of a boudoir woman at all, as if Xu Youran was her cousin, with a bright and bright smile . .

"Xing'er, I'm here!" Xu Youran looked at her with a smile, and she was also very generous, the love in her eyes was not deliberately concealed.

What's happening here?Sanbo and Su Fuzi glanced at each other, and they both saw shock and joy in each other's eyes.Hurrah!Myolie girl, it doesn't matter if Shen Jie married a wife and took a concubine, this Lord Xiaoyao is no worse than Shen Jie at all!

Xing'er smiled faintly, and said calmly and gracefully: "Welcome Lord Hou to come to Kaoshantun as a guest, Mr. Tai just happens to be here too, my humble rural place really shines!"

Xu Youran smiled and said, "Hey! I have just visited Tao Ranju. The scenery is very beautiful, and the imperial palace is even more attractive! There are mountains and rivers, and the flowers, plants and trees complement each other. The planning is very good. Oops , I am Xiaoyaohou, and I have a nice name, how can you, the princess of Anran, be at ease!"

To be honest, he fell in love with Tao Ranju right away!If possible, he really wants to live a carefree life of men farming and women weaving with his beloved in such a beautiful place!The guards who came with him are also full of praise for this place, they are very envious!I have lived in that bustling and complicated place in the capital for a long time, and when I first saw such a fresh, peaceful and beautiful place, how could I not like it?

After drinking a few cups of tea and talking, Xu Youran explained the purpose of her visit: "Xing'er, I have found several coal mines! The smelting of steel has also made a breakthrough, and the Holy One also knows about the sweet potatoes you planted. It is a drought-resistant crop. For this reason, the Holy One issued a decree and decided to give you the entire Li County as a fiefdom in recognition of your great contribution to An Lan Country!"

"Really? Give me the whole county?!" Xing'er was both surprised and happy, her eyes brightened: it will be all right now, and the promotion of sweet potatoes will be smoother!

If it is her fiefdom, the enforcement will be much stronger, and as long as the people can keep their stomachs in check, they will keep themselves safe.Li County would not be in such a mess as in the previous life. Even the county government office was taken over by bandits, causing the people to be displaced, leave their homes, and their families were destroyed.

There are even bigger surprises waiting for her!

Xu Youran took out the imperial decree, and everyone came to the courtyard and set up the incense table.Xu Youran read out the imperial decree aloud, to the effect that Princess Anran's meritorious service was in Sheji, and she granted the entire Li County as a fief, and specially dispatched agricultural officials to assist her in making Li County a pilot county for sweet potatoes. Grow sweet potatoes.

The planting area of ​​sweet potatoes should not be less than [-]% of the total field area. How many sweet potatoes should be planted, and what methods and means should be used in the process of planting sweet potatoes?Violators will be severely punished.On the way to Kaoshantun, Xu Youran had already posted the imperial list in the county seat and Luotan Town, and the county magistrate was leading people to several other towns to post the imperial list!

Royal list?That's all right, no resistance will be a problem!Even those families who have "occupied" Li County for hundreds of years, or those high-ranking officials who have returned from their old age, or the underworld, dare not openly defy it!Moreover, this is a sacred order, even if someone is dissatisfied, there is no reason to hold grudges against Xing'er!

"Your Majesty Shengming, long live long live long live!"

Xing'er kowtowed to thank her, unprecedentedly devout, respectful, and willing.Kneeling and kowtowing was always humiliating to her.However, at this moment, she sincerely felt that An Junyi was a wise king!

Xing'er took the opportunity to ask: "Master Hou, for those who grow sweet potatoes, I hope that the tax can be reduced for one year. I will write this question in a booklet, please pass it on to the Holy Majesty! In addition, I propose that a large number of coal mines be exploited, and the mountains be closed for forestation. Strictly prohibit deforestation and keep water and soil. In this way, the drought situation will also be alleviated!"

Master Tai immediately echoed enthusiastically: "The lower officials seconded the proposal, and they will jointly submit a proposal with Princess Anran. Please, Lord Hou, please speak well in front of the Holy One! If the coal mine that the princess said can be solved instead of firewood, then it will be Anlan Country The well-being of the people is also the blessing of the Holy One!" In the final analysis, the drought problem is still caused by excessive logging and excessive grazing.

Xu Youran took it very seriously, and immediately said happily: "What the princess and Lord Tai said is very true. I will definitely hand over the joint booklet of the two to the Holy Majesty in person! I will stay in the mountain village for five days to investigate the conditions of the people on the spot. , get the scriptures from Princess Anran. When I go back to the capital, I will write a scripture based on what I have seen and heard and present it to the Holy Majesty!"

In other words, Yan Wuying rushed to the northwest with the fastest speed with a caravan of hundreds of people.The first thing he did when he arrived in the northwest was to go to Chai Yao to settle the score, he was filled with righteous indignation and told Shen Jie: "Old Wu, take your teacher to find that bastard Chai Lao Wu, he actually wrote a letter of divorce to Xing'er's mother! "

"What?!" Shen Jie was shocked.

"Originally, Xing'er planned to come to the Northwest in person to uphold justice for her mother!" Yan Wuying explained the cause of the matter concisely, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
