Chu Tianjiao guarded Lu Yu for half the night. Near morning, Lu Yu's fever finally subsided.

Lu Dingfeng came to change his shift.

Chu Tianjiao relayed Lu Yu's situation to Lu Dingfeng, told him what to pay attention to, and walked out of the room.

The morning sun shone into the yard. Chu Tianjiao stretched and saw that the willow trees in the yard had sprouted new green.

Feng Jia brought water and asked her to wash up.

Chu Tianjiao rinsed his mouth and face in the courtyard.

"Miss, you are really tired these past two days. After breakfast, why don't you go back to your house and take a nap?"

Chu Tianjiao sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard and had breakfast served.

"How can I not find time to sleep? There are still a lot of things to do."

Picking up a crystal shrimp dumpling, Chu Tianjiao put it into his mouth.

Wang Ting and Li Kuangxiang walked into the courtyard.

Wang Ting sat carelessly opposite Chu Tianjiao and said to Feng Jia: "Give us a set of dishes, and I will have breakfast here."

Seeing that Chu Tianjiao had no objection, Li Kuang sat between the two of them.

Chu Tianjiao picked up a bowl of porridge, lowered his head to drink, and ignored the two people.

Thinking of last night's mistake, Wang Ting was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Seeing Chu Tianjiao ignoring him, he said nonchalantly: "Chu Tianjiao, you already know that it was that 'Egghead' who did it, why are you still angry? "

Chu Tianjiao raised his head and glanced at him, and said calmly: "Why am I angry? I'm just worried about you. If Ayu wakes up and knows that you kissed him, how will he react?"

When Wang Ting thought of Lu Yu's bad temper, he was a little scared, and quickly grabbed Li Kuang, "Li Si, you have to help me! You almost kissed A Yu. If you don't help me, I will Just tell A Yu that you kiss him first."

Chu Tianjiao looked at Li Kuang in shock, and Li Kuang waved his hands hurriedly: "No, don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't have the guts to say it, so I avoided it."

Wang Ting clasped his hands together and begged: "Chu Tianjiao, please help me. Don't tell this bad boy A Yu. If he finds out, he will never end up with me."

At this time, the maid also brought breakfast for the two of them. The stone table was filled with all kinds of food. Li Kuang buried his head in eating and did not participate in the competition between the two.

"Fat Wang, it's okay if you want me to keep it a secret for you. You can do all the spring plowing in Wusheng County for me.

There is not much wasteland suitable for reclamation in Wusheng County. I will allocate all the wasteland near the river valley in Longcheng to you.You organize the people in Wusheng County to clear the land and plow the land as soon as possible. "

When Wang Ting heard that it was a business matter, he readily agreed.

Chu Tianjiao reminded again: "Your uncle from the side branch has recently joined the wealthy households near Longcheng to buy newly opened wasteland.

As you know, once the land is in the name of the Wang family, the Mufu of our state will not receive much tax at all.

You have to find a way to solve this matter for me. "

Wang Ting thought that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

"Those people are afraid of poverty and keep the land in their hands. They are afraid that after harvesting the grain, they will be exploited by the court. It is better to sell the land to rich households and get ready money.

It's not up to me to control what you want me to do!

Why don't you issue a supplementary decree to prohibit the sale of newly opened wasteland? "

Chu Tianjiao shook his head: "There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. When the newly reclaimed wasteland is registered, the people who reclaimed the wasteland have already reached a deal with the rich households and registered it directly under the names of the rich households."

In fact, Chu Tianjiao had already issued preferential tax policies for wasteland in the name of the Prefectural Mufu.

However, the common people have been subjected to excessive taxation for many years and have lost trust in the government's policies.

Chu Tianjiao sighed: "Even if the people in Wusheng believe in me, the people in other counties may not believe me.

Even though they believe in the credibility of our Chu family, they are worried that I will not stay in Ganzhou long, and that after I leave my job, the five taxes and one tax will be restored. "

The two of them were in distress, and Li Kuang, who had been silent for the whole time, asked: "Since the common people want to sell it, why don't we buy it instead of the rich people buying it?"

Wang Ting pushed Li Kuang: "You kid, if you don't understand government affairs, don't talk nonsense. How much money will it cost? We don't have that much money."

Besides, if Chu Tianjiao and I bought it and were accused by the imperial censor of using our power for personal gain and encroaching on land, we would be doomed. "

Chu Tianjiao put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Wang Ting: "Yes, instead of them buying it, why don't I buy it."

Wang Ting was stunned: "Chu Tianjiao, I know you are wealthy, but how much money do you have? Besides, what will the people think of you buying it?"

Chu Tianjiao said: "If not in my name, then in the name of Ganzhou Camp. Those wastelands should be bought as military fields.

During the busy farming season, soldiers were asked to help open up wasteland, sow seeds and harvest.During the off-season, people can be hired to take care of the work.The grain harvested just supplemented the military rations. "

Wang Ting nodded: "This is to raise troops in the fields. It's a good way. But it's a pity that we have so much money?"

Chu Tianjiao said: "It doesn't matter, the wasteland is ownerless now, I directly ordered the Ganzhou camp to clear up wasteland for me from now on.

The one that drove out was from Ganzhou Daying.

If the common people are willing to sell the land to the army, they can turn it into military land tenants.I will find a way to raise the money to buy this part of the land. "

Wang Ting thought for a while and said: "I'd better write to my father about this matter and ask him to think of a way to formulate a court law and coax His Majesty to approve it.

In this way, even if you leave Ganzhou in the future, these fields can be retained to support the army in the northwest. "

Chu Tianjiao praised Wang Ting for his thoughtfulness, and the two rolled up their sleeves and got ready to get started.

Chu Tianjiao had to check the accounts first to see how much money he could still get. If it was not enough, he had to find a way to raise it.

We also need to discuss with several governors of the state pastoral office to refine this decree before promulgating it.

Wang Ting naturally went to write a letter to his father, and also helped Chu Tianjiao prepare farm tools, grain seeds, etc. for land reclamation.

Li Kuang was sent back to the Ganzhou camp, and with Chu Tianjiao's order, he organized soldiers to prepare for land reclamation.

The three of them went about their business.

When Lu Yu woke up and opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that only the strange girl named Sang Pao was guarding his bed.

Unable to move his whole body, he opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Dingfeng, thinking: "Why her again?"

It seems that every time he is sick and bedridden recently, this girl named Sangbai will scramble to take care of him.

Especially last time, after he was struck by lightning in Linhai, he was looked after terribly by this girl Sangbao.

Lu Yu closed his eyes again with deep resentment, preferring to continue pretending to sleep.

Unfortunately, Lu Dingfeng had already noticed that he was awake.

"Little... Your Majesty, you are finally awake. Do you know that these past two days have frightened my old man?

Does it hurt?are you hungry?

By the way, the eldest lady said that if you wake up, I will feed you some ginseng chicken soup.

I'll bring it to you right away. "

Lu Yu wanted to protest silently, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked: "When I fell asleep, I clearly heard the voices of the king and the royal court. Where are they?"

Lu Dingfeng said: "They are busy now. They said they would come back to see you in the evening."

Thinking of what Wang Ting said in his dream, Lu Yu asked nervously: "What are they busy with?"

"Of course I am busy with government affairs. There is no need to delay the spring plowing. The eldest lady has delayed government affairs for two days in order to treat your injury. I see that your fever has gone away this morning, can you hurry up and get it done?"

Lu Yu felt relieved when he heard that it was business.

After Lu Dingfeng brought the ginseng chicken soup, he fed Lu Yu a small spoonful to drink.

Lu Yu's face was as pale as paper, with a few strands of hair hanging messily on his forehead. His blurred eyes stared at Lu Dingfeng warily.

Thinking of all the things this girl has done since I met her, I feel like I have guessed what this girl is thinking.

He said carefully: "Sangpai, I know you are very kind to me, but you must not have any other thoughts about me.

I will never take a concubine in my life. "

When Lu Dingfeng heard this, he suddenly hit Lu Yu's forehead with a violent shock, and cursed: "Children, what are you thinking about? I am your ancestor!"
