Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 125 Unexpected Luck (1)

In the early morning, the sun sneaked into Xu Qing's study early.Xu Qing stretched lazily, planning to roll a few times on the bed, but found that there was a person beside him who couldn't roll.

"Huh? Xiaoyue, I'm here so early, I don't want to get up..."

"My hand, why is it..."

"Xiaoyue, why are you on my bed?"

"Ah! I fucked you?!" Xu Qing was in a daze, not knowing what to say, Xiaoyue was also shy and didn't know what to do, so she just buried herself in the blanket and played hide and seek.

Xu Qing was taken aback by this action, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue, don't forget that people can't be suffocated inside the quilt... Oh, no, no, no, I didn't mean that..."

"Xiaoyue, I'm sorry, forgive me, okay, I'm responsible for you..." Xu Qing regretted it in her heart, and was also glad that she was in ancient times, otherwise it would be another three years...

Xiaoyue could only hear a buzzing sound in her ears, she couldn't hear Xu Qing's words, and continued to bury herself in the quilt, refusing to move, because she and Xu Qing were still nestled naked.

"Xiaoyue, say something..." Seeing that Xiaoyue didn't move, Xu Qing gently lifted the quilt, Xiaoyue was startled again, trembling like a wounded rabbit, half mourning , looked at Xu Qing half pitifully.

Xiaoyue was born fresh and pleasant, like a lotus flower out of water, this pitiful look appeared on her face, and Xu Qing's "index finger" moved wildly.

"Xiaoyue, you..." Xu Qing said softly, straightening Xiaoyue's hair, Xiaoyue embraced Xu Qing's chest and hugged Xu Qing tightly.

The moment she got close to Xu Qing's body, Xiaoyue felt the "fire stick" on Xu Qing's body, a stick that was as hot as fire!Xiaoyue's delicate body shook, she had learned how powerful that fire stick was last night!However, Xiaoyue did not retreat, but went forward firmly, and then...

Xu Qing almost burned himself with fire, and after a moment of refreshment, he quickly backed away and said, "Xiaoyue, are you willing?"

"Xiaoyue, I just want to serve the young master..."

She teased me again, and she teased me again, remembering that when Xiaochu first met, she was a few years older than Xu Qing, but now that Xu Qing is more mature, Xiaoyue is even more "fresh" than before.Uh, I don’t know if it’s juicy or not. I was drunk yesterday, how can I remember it?

After tweaking a stick of incense, Xu Qing put on his clothes and sat by the bed. If there was a cigarette, a sip of betel nut would be even better.Xu Qing asked Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, was it last night or this morning?"

"Master, it was last night." Xiaoyue is a rational woman. After Xu Qing left the lump of hot coal, she became less shy and spoke a lot louder.

"At night, why are you in my room at night?" Xu Qing thought for a while, then said in surprise, "It was Xueer, Xueer asked you to come?"

"Yeah, Madam asked me to come..." Xiaoyue saw that Xu Qing's face was not happy, and added nervously: "Master, don't blame Sister Xun, she is all for the comfort of Master."

"How long have you been planning this?"

"Master, do you still remember the last time you broke in suddenly and saw me talking to my wife?"

"At that time, you... well, why did she think of letting you, let you..." Xu Qing couldn't say it, but Xiaoyue understood after hearing it, and said: "Before that, Xiaoyue fell in love with the young master... ..."

Xu Qing stroked his chin, am I that attractive?I heard Xiaoyue murmuring again:

"Sister Xun found out. I didn't blame me, but she told me plainly, she, she made me prepare for emergencies..."

After Xiaoyue finished speaking, Xu Qing knew in her heart that the choices and plans of the two women were all because of their true love for Xu Qing, not those "Li Daitao is stiff", "removing flowers and grafting wood", "taking the opportunity to rise to power" in Gongdou dramas. " fragment.Xu Qing sighed, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Thinking about this clearly, Xu Qing pretended to be angry, patted the side of the bed, and said: "You two are lying to me, I will punish you two, Xueer is inconvenient, Xiaoyue..."

"You are ready to bear my boundless anger!"

"Ah...young master, pity..."

Afterwards, Xu Qing called the two daughters together, and taught them some words of mutual love and the principles of family harmony and prosperity.Unexpectedly, the second daughter smiled and said, she knew it a long time ago.Xu Qing felt relieved, and happily took the money to reward the governor's mansion, and then personally cooked some tonic soup for the second daughter, which was full of nutrition and repaired the damage...

The fire in the backyard, Xiao Qiang's calamity was far stronger and more destructive than the external threats.With Xun Xueer and Xiaoyue's governance, the governor's mansion is in order, and Zhang Linye's team has also been selected and released, and safety has been guaranteed.

With nothing to do, Xu Qing wanted to take a stroll around and see how the people under his rule lived and how they lived, and this idea became stronger and stronger.

In July, after Qiqiao passed, Xu Qing finally made up his mind to visit Cangzhou.Wearing plain clothes, a straw hat, and riding an old donkey, Xu Qing dressed like a small country landlord.Cows eating grass are dressed as farmers and long-term workers, leading donkeys and walking in front.

where to?Let's go to Haixing first... Haixing is the poorest county in Cangzhou. How can we make Haixing rich?Xu Qing wanted to take this opportunity to find the answer.

Riding a donkey into Haixing, I met a group of children chasing grasshoppers. They sang and read as they ran: "Two people are friends, three people are teachers. There is surplus food, and the bandits are driven away. The water is full of fat, chickens and ducks run, and the young crops compete for a good life. !"

After listening to it for the first time, Xu Qing understood the meaning of the nursery rhyme. "Two people" and "Yu" are Xu, "water" and "green" are Qing, and the sum is Xu Qing.If the first nursery rhyme still has a far-fetched meaning, then the next song must be about Xu Qing.

Again the children were heard singing:
"Mr. Xu, it's the Pleiades
Come down to earth, take Tian Jun

An Gengtian with a full stomach
Every household machine pestle sound"

As soon as these words came out, Niu Cheao also understood that after Xu Qing came, he was full of food and had enough strength, and could do other manual work after plowing the field. Niu Cheao grinned: "Master!" , they are singing about you!"

Xu Qing is very pleased, this is the popular support, it seems that what I do is still effective.Maybe this is the sense of accomplishment?

But who sang these nursery rhymes?Could it be that the common people expressed their feelings, Xu Qing shook his head, thinking that there are still talents in places like Cangzhou.

After being stimulated by a few nursery rhymes, Xu Qing suddenly became very interesting as the governor, so he became more interested in thinking about how to develop Haixing.

After several days of investigation, Xu Qing found some clues.

In an agricultural society, what restricts economic development is nothing more than the land. If you cannot grow more food, the area will be poor.Before Xu Qing's major transformation, Xuzhuang was also extremely poor. Once the canals were repaired and the wells were dug, the world would change immediately.

Haixing Haixing, prospering by the sea, has this name, but it is not true.

Because Haixing is near the sea, one-third of the land in the territory is tidal flats, and the other third is saline-alkali land. The remaining arable land is not much, and it is relatively barren land.As a result, the production is pitifully small, and it is very difficult to eat.

Then someone asked, why not move out?You must know that in later generations, there will still be people in impoverished villages, people with many "rural circumstances", who are too poor to wear open crotch pants and refuse to move.

What Xu Qing thinks is, relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, Haixing faces such a large and rich ocean, even if it relies on fishing for seafood, it doesn't have to be so poor.

It's just that Xu Qing didn't know, because the transportation and fresh-keeping technology were not good, and the risk of going into the sea was too high. Before the Song Dynasty, the ancient Chinese marine fishery was underdeveloped. There were a few fishermen occasionally, but they were not much better than abandoned people.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qing felt that the way out for Haixing County still had to be found in the ocean.Because there is something safe and easy to get, which is inexhaustible in this sea, and the profit is quite high.

Riding a donkey, Xu Qing walked slowly near the sea.

In fact, Xu Qing was quite excited.Before coming to Tang, he had never seen the real sea...

Watching TV, the seaside: fine sand and blue waves, vast and boundless, salty wind slowly... Pick up shells, pick up conch, listen to the call of the sea!How beautiful……

But...Xu Qing asked the route, followed the guide to the beach, and was dumbfounded: "The cow eats grass, have you seen the sea?"

"No..." Niu Chow shook his head.

"How much did you give the guide?"

"Five cents..."

"One penny is enough, why do you give so much, there is a lot of money?"

"Didn't you ask me to give more, and...you can treat it as a door...ticket or something..."

"Ang, there seems to be such a thing." Xu Qing had no choice but to look left and right while riding a donkey. Except for a dense forest, where is there a trace of the sea?There is not even water... I can't see it, Xu Qingjing calmly listened, and sure enough, there was the sound of waves crashing.Xu Qing suddenly remembered that between man and nature, Mr. Pei said in Survival that there is usually a large mangrove forest by the sea, and the trees in front of him should be similar.

Xu Qing walked five or six miles, found a sea cliff with difficulty, climbed up, and looked east, it was the sea!
There is no gentle wind or fine waves, only choppy waves, white waves surging to the sky, rolling up like a thousand piles of snow, beating against the coast.

As far as the eye can see, there is a fishing boat with its sails and nets, fighting fiercely with the sea, refusing to give in at all.

Magnificent!
The white waves are surging in the sky and the swallows are falling, and the fishing boats are fishing outside Qinhuangdao.

To whom does Pianfanliu know?Not a single ocean in sight...

Emperor Qin, Wei and Wu came here together, waving whips and catapulting stones to write down articles.

……

"Alas..." Xu Qing originally wanted to copy the great man's poems, and even adapted them, but he didn't expect that he was short of breath and talent, and couldn't read the last couplet for a long time.There are a few words, but the momentum is far from the slightest bit above.

After all, what a great man wants to do is to change the world. What Xu Qing wants to do is to live a good life and do something to change the world...

"Master, go down, it's windy here..."

"Well, let's go to Haixing County, I have a solution." Xu Qing thought to himself, there is only one solution, cutting down forests to build salt fields.Not only for the consideration of the people of Haixing, but also for the debt owed by that blank imperial decree.

"What the young master does is a big deal, hehe..." Niu Chicao smiled innocently.Walking down the cliff, Xu Qing saw a fisherman in a bamboo hat standing beside the tethered donkey.

"Hey, Wuna fisherman, what are you doing?" The cow thought someone was stealing the donkey, so he hurriedly drank it.

"Don't be alarmed, General Niu, the little old man is looking for the governor..." The bamboo hat man said in a hoarse voice.

Xu Qing's complexion sank, and he had already touched the musket in his arms, and said, "How do you know me?"
