Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

The royal court has not come down yet. The royal highness of the princess went to Taizhou with water slaves, and Xue Lan was alone at home. I can't read a book, and I can't calm down when I'm practicing. So I grab a paintbrush and paint casually. How to say something?

the first day Baoma and her baby left, miss them!

When the baby and his wife were away, a large number of maids naturally followed him. Xue Lang looked at the long Jian who was with him and asked, "how old are you, Changjian?"

"My Lord, I'm just eighteen."

"Eighteen, then you can get married. Do you like it?"

Xue Lang's question was too direct, which made Chang Jian's face red, but he held on and did not hide. Instead, he tried to stop talking. Xue LANGLE, this is obviously a favorite! So he said, "look at you like this, it's obvious that you like it. Come on, let's hear it. I'll make the decision for you."

Long Jian snorted, and his face was red. Before he snorted out, the servant came to report: "report to the emperor's son-in-law, Pei Cishi's visit."

Xue Lang patted long Jian on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll go to see the guests first, and I'll talk about it when I come back."

Long Jian blushed and nodded. After the master left, he patted his face and quickly followed him.

When Xue Lang went out to meet the guests, only Pei Yunzhao came with his boy. He was light and simple. He welcomed people into the burning house. The warm breath came to his face. Compared with the cold outside, the house was much warmer. Pei Yunzhao found a strange place and said: "wonderful! There is no charcoal burning in the house. Why is it so much warmer than outside? "

Xue Lang said with a smile: "brother Jingxi is really careful. When he built the house, he laid some things under the ground. Therefore, it is warmer in winter, and there is no need to burn charcoal until late winter and December."

Pei Yunzhao said: "so good? I wonder if you can build one for me? To tell you the truth, Youyang, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is colder and wetter than that in the north. As a northerner, it's really hard to adapt. "

Xue Lang said: "I'm afraid it won't work. This facility must be built together when the foundation is being built. It can only be done when a new house is built. The old house can't be rebuilt. I've heard that the cold in the south of the Yangtze River needs a healthy body to keep out the cold. Brother Jingxi is a scholar. It's better to have a try. "

Then he blinked at Pei Yunzhao. Pei Yunzhao was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was Xue Lang who was joking with him. He couldn't help laughing. He nodded at Xue Lang with his fingers empty and said with a smile: "Youyang, this is not right. I'm from Enyin family. I'm not from the imperial examination. Xiuhaoran's righteousness is just afraid that the Asia saints will not look up to me."

Laughing and talking, they went into the room and sat down. It's cold in winter. The northerners used to drink sweet tea in winter. Xue Lang made people brew sweet tea. Pei Yunzhao tasted it and praised: "it's really sweet tea! It's the first time I've been to Vietnam for several years to drink such authentic sweet tea

Xue Lang said with a smile: "this is made by the people brought by the princess's mansion. If the princess doesn't come, you can't drink here. You can't get a cup of boiled water at most."

This year, Xue Lang often followed Pei Yunzhao to the countryside, but they were familiar with each other and were easy-going people. Now they get along and talk at will.

Pei Yunzhao met with Xue Lang, and had a good idea of his heart. After chatting with him, he came to the point: "I heard that the royal highness of the princess came from a foreign country."

With PEI Yunzhao's identity, it is not surprising that he can have such smart news. Xue Lang nodded and said, "yes. When the princess went to Taizhou, the imperial court paid only one year's salary, and the next year it had to raise its own money. The topography of the south of the Yangtze River is laid out. It is impossible to grow wheat, but to grow rice I don't think those rice varieties are very good. The cultivation methods are extensive and the yield is limited. Remembering that she had heard of Zhancheng rice, she suggested to the princess that she would send someone to try. Unexpectedly, she brought it back! "

Pei Yunzhao moved his position in silence and approached Xue Lang for a few minutes. He asked in a low voice, "Youyang, for the sake of the friendship between you and me, you can give me a thorough understanding and try to plant this Zhancheng rice. How much will it cost?"

Xue Lang tiny smile, not slow and unhurried way: "80% above!"

Pei Yunzhao's eyes were bright and he grasped Xue Lang's hand: "seriously?"

Xue Lang asked with a smile, "why did I cheat you? Do you think I'm a liar? "

Pei Yunzhao immediately said, "no! I know Youyang's character. Let's not mention it for the time being. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Zhancheng rice compared with the rice varieties planted in Wu area now? "

This is not a secret. As a governor of Yuezhou, he still needs his support to try to grow Zhancheng rice. Xue Lang does not want to hide it from him, so he frankly tells him: "this rice seed comes from zhula state, which is the neighbor of Zhancheng. For convenience, I call it Zhancheng rice. Do you know how rice is cultivated in that part of Zhancheng

Pei Yunzhao shook his head, arched his hand and said, "please help Youyang to solve your doubts."

Xue Lang said: "Zhancheng and other places because of the geographical environment and terrain, hot and rainy, they plant rice, do not divide the seedlings, so sow, do not fertilize, let it grow on its own."

Although Pei Yunzhao was not proficient in farming, he was not ignorant of grain. After so long in the south of the Yangtze River, he naturally knew how to cultivate rice. He said strangely: "how easy is it?"

Xue Lang nodded: "yes, that's it! Compared with the rice varieties in China, Zhancheng rice is drought tolerant and waterlogging tolerant. It can be harvested in more than 50 days due to its strong adaptability and short growth period"Seriously?"

Pei Yunzhao got up with surprise and said: "not to mention anything else, it's worth promoting if the growth period is shorter! Youyang, please say a few words for me in front of the princess. Anyway, when the spring ploughs next year, the rice varieties that occupy the city must be divided into several parts for me! "

Xue Lang peeled off his clenched hands and said, "brother Jingxi, don't be impatient. There are a lot of rice seeds brought back from the ship's voyage. Even if you choose the best one, it's more than enough. You'll have it. As a matter of fact, because of the characteristics of Zhancheng rice, I have suggested that the princess write shuzuo, admonish the sage to issue an imperial edict, and try to plant rice together in Wu, Chu, Lingnan and other areas, so as to take the characteristics of Zhancheng rice. In these places, it can survive completely! "

Pei Yunzhao's eyes were wide open. He looked at Xue Lang in astonishment. He deeply breathed a sigh and sighed, "Youyang is so good at writing, and the princess is so bold. Yunzhao is not as good as Yun Zhao!"

Xue Lang is modest and arched, because he knows the history of Song Dynasty's introduction of Cheng rice, otherwise he would not dare to suggest his royal highness.

In fact, the real courage is the Pingyang princess, only with the trust of Xue Lang, she wrote such a sparse play, which can be said to be a great concern!

Such a huge responsibility, she did not even ask questions, lightly agreed, Xue Lang's heart moved and excited, has been unable to express in words. His royal highness, he said, he would not trust people. Look, do you not trust people? It's just killing me!

Pei Yunzhao pressed down the excitement in his heart and said, "you know what you can do? After the sage's discussion, the saints have decided to promote the Zhan Cheng rice. Qin Wang advised against the abolition of the four prefectures of Yue Zhou, Taizhou, Hangzhou and Wenzhou, and from the four military affairs of the royal highness of the Royal Highland to the Datang Navy in the town of Dadang.
