Xiaofulang's farming space

Chapter 198

Li Rong got off the sedan chair wearily, the white banner in front of the door reminded him of the grief of losing a child in old age.

Wei Qi wiped out the gangsters in more than ten days, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice presented a testimony drawn by the bandit leader, admitting that Li Dongnian and his gang were indeed killed by them, and the emperor ordered the beheading of these heinous bandits. But Li Rong knew that the reason for his son's death was definitely not that simple. It was the emperor, Yu Wang or Wei Qi or they were all in the same group and planned this incident together.

The old housekeeper ran out from the door, with an expression of joy or sadness on his face, he leaned into Li Rong's ear and whispered, "Mrs. Xiaowan is pregnant, she was just diagnosed."

"You... what did you say?" Li Rong grabbed the butler by the collar and asked loudly. There are a lot of concubines and wives in Li Rong's back house, but they have nothing to show. It was bought in the Goulan Courtyard. It is said that Li Rong was following her as soon as she showed up. The clean body was redeemed by Li Rong before receiving other customers. If she was pregnant, the child could only be Li Rong's.

As soon as Li Dongnian went here, it was found out that he was pregnant. Li Rong couldn't help being superstitious, diluting the sadness brought about by Li Dongnian's death.

In the dark dark room, Li Rong opened a superstition letter, read the words on it carefully, and burned it with a candle.

After Li Dongnian passed away, he didn't have the energy or the idea of ​​usurping the throne. He was already dying, and even if he could sit in that seat and enjoy it for how long, everything was not for the sake of future generations, but now he has hope again. As long as Xiaowan can give birth to a son for him, he can live for more than ten years, and he will educate his son well, and then the world will be surnamed Li.This world was brought down by him and the first emperor together, so why should his surname Yu be able to sit in that position? He can't

Looking at the paper that was slowly burning to ashes, Li Rong pulled a strange smile from the corner of his mouth.

At the end of the year, it was the busiest time again. All the shops were closed for vacation, and stacks of ledgers were placed in front of our eyes. This was sorted out by Song Hanfeng.

Luo Xiaohan took the ledger into the space, used the calculator to do the calculation, and the number came out, which was much faster than Xia Qingming pulling the abacus beads outside, and Xiao Le'er didn't cry as soon as he entered the space with him. Noisy, very honest, Luo Xiaohan almost discovered a new world of coaxing children.

It's just that Xia Qingming is suffering, and he is alone outside trying to figure things out. Luo Xiaohan also tried to bring him into the space, but it didn't work.

Luo Xiaohan also knows that this place is probably related to blood relationship. Now that Xiao Leer is young, he brings the child in to play. After the child is sensible and has a memory, he will not do this again. One is that the child's mouth is loose. Then he was asked out or told others unintentionally. Second, he didn't want the children to know that they had means to rely on from an early age, so that they would not think about making progress and only wanted to take advantage of opportunities.

"Twenty-seven thousand, 630 taels," Xia Qingming said after adding up the net income of all the stores

Luo Xiaohan went to check the money and bank notes and nodded, "It's right, that's it." After that, he collected the money on the ground into the space, stretched his waist, "I've been looking at these books for three days, I'm really tired."

"Brother Song took six or seven days to sort out"

"Fortunately, this is the only time this year." Luo Xiaohan sat down and rubbed his neck, and pushed the remaining more than 600 taels of silver to Xia Qingming. Prepare more new year's goods, after the accounts are settled, we should also relax

Li Dongnian slightly bent the corner of his mouth, "Okay"

Luo Xiaohan said sadly, "Although it's not Chinese New Year, but since the beginning of winter, Jinzhou hasn't even had a single snowfall."

"The last time Xiaoman came, he said that a minister asked the emperor to issue a sinful edict in the spring season, and he would sacrifice to the heavens and amnesty the world to pray for rain."

"Funny" Luo Xiaohan laughed, "What does it have to do with the emperor, why should I amnesty the world?"

"Didn't it mean that the emperor has fought for years and killed too many evils?" Xia Qingming frowned and said, "Li Rong's group played a lot of roles inside."

"If it wasn't for the emperor's years of fighting, we are all slaves of foreign races now, and they can still stand in the hall to challenge the emperor."

"It's been like this since ancient times," Xia Qingming said contemptuously

"Hey, I can't hide what should come." Luo Xiaohan looked at the weather outside and sighed.

After the Chinese New Year, the weather quickly warmed up, and everyone could feel that the temperature was different from previous years. It was another drought year, and the common people thought fearfully.

In the court hall, the ministers who asked the emperor to punish himself and amnesty the world quarreled with the ministers who opposed the proposal. The emperor sat calmly on the throne, unmoved, and when the time came, he called people to retreat , let them quarrel.

After arguing like this for a few days, the emperor said indifferently, "It's fine if you blame yourself. I don't think I have done anything immoral. I am amnesty to the world. It is immoral to let the murderer out. The national treasury is empty, it is better to keep the money to help the disaster a few more times, what do you ministers say?"

"If after offering sacrifices to the heavens, the weather is smooth, there is no need for the imperial court to provide disaster relief," said a minister

"If it still doesn't rain after offering sacrifices to heaven, it will not only waste national power, but how will the people view the emperor and the court"

"Then what do you think the imperial court has to release food every year? The previous two years were only four or five counties. In this year's situation, half of the Jin Dynasty will be in famine. How can the imperial court afford it?"

"If you can't save it, can't you not save it?"

"Then what can Master Tao do?" Li Rong suddenly stood up and asked

Tao Moxi said loudly: "From Qingzhou, Jinzhou, Liuzhou and other places with abundant grain production, we will purchase grain and transport it to Jizhou, Zhangzhou, Taizhou and other hard-hit places."

"The grain from the south to the north will take about two or three months. Can you guarantee that there will be no accidents along the way? Seeing the disaster spread this year, how can you guarantee that Qingzhou and other places will produce more grain this year, and there will be drought next year? , could it be that Jin Chao is hungry together?"

"Lord Li's words are wrong." King Yu stood up and said, "I have been building roads for a long time. I dare not say anything else about the north-south roads. There are still one or two wide avenues. It took me a month and 20 days to get there. Let little general Lu bring enough escorts, nothing will happen."

The young general Lu mentioned by King Yu is also the son of General Weiyuan who is guarding the border. He has a team of elite soldiers at the edge of Huangling. He said that the guarding mausoleum is actually the emperor's spare soldiers and horses left outside the imperial capital. They are strictly drilled every day. There is no need for soldiers at the border.

"Uncle Wang's idea is good. Uncle Wang has been building roads, why didn't I know?" The emperor was obviously more casual when talking to King Yu

"It's a child of Chen's. He did some business with Chen and asked me to use the money to build roads, so I named this road after him."

"Oh, there is such a righteous person," the emperor said with interest

"It's that Luo Xiaohan who was kidnapped by Master Li's son."

"It's rare for this person to care about the world"

"During the severe drought last year, the shop he opened kept porridge for more than four months, saving many lives." Yu Wang continued. The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to thank him for protecting my people."

Li Rong saw that they were going back and forth and ignored him, so he shook his sleeves and said that he was not feeling well, and went to court before the emperor.

After coming down to court, the emperor summoned several veteran and important ministers to the imperial study alone.

"Li Rong is so arrogant, I'm afraid he still has resentment towards Li Dongnian's death and the emperor."

"I'm afraid I don't care about the emperor if I have a way out," Wei Qi sneered.

"Li Rong has always been violent, showing his joy and anger in front of others. It's really easy to understand." Tao Moxi laughed and said, "If it wasn't for his high position and power in his hands, he would have died a few times already. This time, he dared to show the emperor in the palace." Now, he feels that his position is higher than that of the emperor, or the emperor is no longer the emperor in his heart."

The emperor touched his chin, "Then why do you think he is like this?"

"Has the emperor recently received a secret report from the border?"

"No." The emperor shook his head, and suddenly asked anxiously, "You mean he was collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

The crime was too serious, and the emperor did not dare to draw conclusions lightly.

"Your majesty can write a secret letter to the generals at the border to inquire, and you will know which country is about to move."

"This drought may not be a good thing for Dajin, but it is a very good opportunity for foreigners. If the inside and outside cooperate"

The emperor frowned and sighed, "Li Rong's influence in the imperial court is deeply rooted. I originally wanted to eliminate those people one by one before punishing him. I didn't expect him to be in such a hurry."

"No matter what, we have to make preparations," the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said long and Tao Ge Lao just sighed.

When it came to May, the weather was almost unbelievably hot,

Xia Qingming took the letter from Xia Heyan that he had just received, "The land in Zhangzhou has been dry this year, the water level in Hanoi has dropped and it is difficult to irrigate, and it is difficult to get water from the wells. Almost all the wells in the village are dry, but our The well in the backyard of our house has not changed much." "Then we will not plant the land this year, so as not to be eye-catching, the well in our backyard is watched by the village chief, and the villagers are asked to fetch water every day."

Xia Qingming rubbed his forehead, "Then the food in the shop must be ordered elsewhere?"

"Let Xiaoyu find a solution with Brother Xingchen. If it doesn't work, don't open a shop. In a few days, when you see more people begging in the city, you will continue to give out porridge until you run out of brown rice."

"Why is that so?" Xia Qingming asked puzzled

After three consecutive years of severe drought, Luo Xiaohan, a businessman, has done enough for the Jin Dynasty. Now that there is another year of famine, no one will think that there is too much food. In summer, brown rice may be able to sell for more than In the past, the price that was ten times or a hundred times more expensive may still be in short supply, but now Luo Xiaohan wants to give it away for nothing.

Luo Xiaohan looked at Yanyang Gaozhao outside the house and said indifferently: "I just want to do more good things to help Jinchao get through this difficult time. No one wants to be a person in a chaotic world. Once there is chaos, what can we gain? The good thing is that I am just looking forward to spending a lifetime of peace and happiness with you here."

He has already passed the end of the world, and he doesn't want to be in troubled times again. Although he has little power alone, he has to do it.Author gossip:
