The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

On June 13th of the [-]th year of Hongwu, Mu Ying's army stopped and went, and finally arrived at the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang came to greet him at the city gate. Mu Ying was at the city gate, offering prisoners in front of many people. Ai Zu, knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Mu Ying took the lead and shouted long live three times, all the soldiers and the people in the city knelt down one after another, and the shouts were higher than the waves, which made Zhu Yuanzhang's blood boil and his heart was filled with joy.At the same time, the name of Marquis Xiping became more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Dayue rewarded the three armies, Xiping Hou was rewarded with 500 taels of gold, 1000 taels of silver, several treasure banknotes, and the annual salary was increased to three thousand shi.This is only on the surface, and the real offer is more than double this. The only one who has not been promoted is his official position. It is not that Zhu Yuanzhang does not trust Mu Ying. The main reason is that Mu Ying has been promoted one after another, a bit too fast. There is a buffer time, otherwise it is likely to attract people's hatred and cause trouble.

Five days later, the imperial court also rewarded the officers and men of the Yanshan guards. How many gold, silver and jade wares were rewarded to Yan Wang Zhu Di, but no one knew how much, but several carriages were driven into the palace.

Due to his military exploits, Shen Qing was promoted to be the Commander of Yanshan Guard, with a reward of 500 taels, 1000 taels of silver, ten bolts of silk and satin of various colors, several treasure banknotes, the title of Ning Bo of Qing Dynasty, and an annual salary of two thousand stones.Judging from the rewards, Zhu Yuanzhang treated Shen Qing and Mu Ying equally and valued them equally.It's just that Shen Qing has just emerged, so it's not easy to give a big reward.

Cui Miao was promoted to Yanshan Wei Baihu for his meritorious service in beheading the enemy general.And for the sake of saving Shen Qing, the emperor rewarded Cui Miao with 200 taels of silver from his private treasury.Cui Miao respectfully kowtowed in the direction of Nanjing to thank him, and took out ten taels of silver from the reward and gave it to the eunuch who passed the decree.The eunuch happily accepted, and he had a good impression of Cui Miao, a handsome general.Cui Miao exchanged all the treasures rewarded by the emperor for food, and sent someone to send most of the rewarded gold and silver to Li Cuilan.

For the next month, Cui Miao was busy in the field almost every day, from plowing the land to tilling, to fertilizing. Although manpower was hired, and the sergeants under him also helped, Cui Miao tried to participate in all steps. Under the guidance of the old man Yao , but also doing a decent job.With a rough knowledge of history, he knows that in a short time, there will be famines everywhere, and there will be the appearance of the Little Ice Age. Many people starved to death because they had nothing to eat. The population of the Ming Dynasty plummeted. One-fifth of the population, so how to increase food production is what he wants to study most now.

I have to say that the old man Yao is really good at farming. Beiping is located in the north, and drought is a common occurrence. Water conservancy is not convenient. Droughts often occur, and food production decreases and no production occurs from time to time. After years of farming experience, Yao Laohan summed up a set of drought-resistant farming methods.Although it is impossible to achieve a high yield in a drought year, at least it can achieve a good harvest. This is also the farming experience that Cui Miao wants most.

"Cultivation in this season belongs to intertillage. Early intertillage and hoeing during the summer rainy season can keep the soil moist. There is a farmer's proverb that 'hoeing in summer is better than plowing in autumn'. If you miss intertillage, you should plow early in autumn. Do not rake when plowing in autumn, and leave the plow open to absorb rainwater. If the land is not plowed, or if it is plowed and then harrowed, the rainwater will run off easily, and it will easily cause uneven drought and flood..." Shen Qing poured a cup of tea for Cui Miao , Cui Miao took it casually, finished drinking 'gudong gudong', and then said: "Commander, I feel that Yao's experience is worth promoting. Although it can't guarantee a good harvest in the dry season, it can at least keep the harvest."

Farming has always been the most important aspect of people's livelihood in the early Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the farming system. With good experience, it is naturally easier to adopt it.

"Okay, I will report this matter to the lord as soon as possible." Shen Qing refilled Cui Miao's cup of tea and asked, "Have you been busy with the fields recently?"

Cui Miao replied naturally: "Return to the commander, the [-] acres of farmland that the prince gave to the bid have all been cultivated. If it goes well, there may be output this year."

Shen Qing nodded lightly, and asked, "How's the injury on your body?"

"Thank you Commander for your concern. The trauma has healed, and the body has recovered to the same level as before." Cui Miao said tentatively: "The medicine, the bidder thinks it can be stopped."

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Shen Qing's eyes, and he said: "Let Uncle Wang show you later, if he says yes, then stop."

Cui Miao was a little reluctant. In fact, this month, Wang Zhizhong kept his pulse. Every time he mentioned the matter of stopping the medicine, Wang Zhizhong objected. Shen Qing is an obedient master, Cui Miao expressed helplessness.

"Commander, I feel that I don't need to bother Doctor Wang with this matter. The old man has to take care of everyone in the palace, and he is too busy. It's the same when I go to see Dr. Liang."

"Why, Cui Baihu dislikes the old man's medical skills?"

The two of them heard the prestige and looked around, only to see Wang Zhizhong walking in with a medicine box.The two quickly got up, bowed and greeted, "I have seen Uncle Wang (Medical Officer Wang)."

Cui Miao smiled, but wailed in her heart: I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, can he be more sad?

Wang Zhizhong put the medicine box on the table, looked at Cui Miao with a smile, and said, "Cui Baihu, the old man has been very busy recently. I really have nothing to do, so I don't bother Dr. Liang. Let's talk about Cui Baihu. Do you dislike the old man's medical skills?"

Cui Miao hurriedly said with a smile: "Medical Officer Wang is joking. Your Majesty is full of praise for your medical skills. How dare you bid? The bid is just for fear that Medical Officer Wang will work too hard. Don't misunderstand Dr. Wang."

Wang Zhizhong raised his eyebrows and said: "In that case, the old man will show Cui Baihu."

"Then I will trouble Doctor Wang."

Helplessness flashed in Cui Miao's eyes, she sat down obediently, and stretched out her right hand.

Seeing the two of them coming and going, the smile in Shen Qing's eyes grew stronger, and he called the servant to give some instructions, walked to the chessboard, sat down, and started playing on his own.

Not long after, Wang Zhizhong withdrew his hand and said, "The injury is recovering well. The medicine for the disease can be stopped, but the tonic still needs to be taken for a while."

Cui Miao's expression changed immediately when she heard the words, and she fought bitterly: "Doctor Wang, you see that the body of the bidder has recovered, so let's forget about the tonic. Although the bidder has received some rewards, he still has a mother to support, and there is really no money left to buy medicine. gone."

Wang Zhizhong's expression darkened immediately, he looked at Shen Qing, and asked, "Ah Qing, did Cui Baihu get the money for the medicinal materials?"

Cui Miao quickly explained: "No, Doctor Wang, the previous medical expenses were all paid by the commander, but this is also what the bidder owes, and he has to pay it back after all. Doctor Wang, the bidder's body has recovered, so there is no need to waste it Money, buy those tonics."

Wang Zhizhong's expression softened a little, and he said: "Ah Qing's life was saved by Cui Baihu, so you have to pay for your medical expenses. There is no debt here, and Cui Baihu doesn't have to worry about it at all. Okay. , that's it, the old man has something to do, so he will go back first."

"Wang, medical officer,,,,,,," looking at Wang Zhizhong's back, Cui Miao was speechless for a while, he looked at Shen Qing, and said tentatively: "Commander, even if you were not there at that time, the arrows under the mark would still be shot, Commander is completely Don't take this matter to heart, and I don't want to owe you too much under the bid..."

Shen Qing looked at Cui Miao silently for a while, and said: "Cui Miao, if you weren't standing behind me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive. No matter what you think, for me, my life was saved by you."

At that time, Cui Miao had only one idea, that is, not to let Shen Qing have an accident, so before the long arrow shot, he overwhelmed Shen Qing, and retreated as much as possible, so the long arrow only penetrated Cui Miao's body, and did not hurt Shen Qing.Cui Miao did this because she only wanted to repay Shen Qing's previous maintenance, and didn't want Shen Qing to feel that she owed him because of this.Since waking up, Shen Qing has taken care of him in every possible way, he has kept it in his heart, but this is not what he wants.In this strange era, Cui Miao doesn't know how long he will stay. He doesn't want to owe others too much, so he will risk his life to save him, and he doesn't want to be owed too much to him. If one day he dies, who will the best result be? Don't remember him, and he doesn't owe anyone.In Cui Miao's heart, she never put herself into this era.

Cui Miao looked at Shen Qing seriously, and said: "Commander, as a subordinate, it is my duty to protect Shangguan's safety. You don't owe the bidder anything, so you don't have to do this."

Shen Qing looked directly into Cui Miao's eyes, and after a while, he said: "Since you know that I am a Shangguan, then obey the order."

Cui Miao choked, never expecting Shen Qing to come out like this.

"Come here every noon to drink medicine, this is an order, do you understand?"

Shen Qing's tone was very light, but Cui Miao could hear something different, and had no choice but to confess: "Yes, I will follow orders."

While the two were talking, Chang An came in from the outside with a tray in his hand, and Cui Miao knew what it was without him approaching. Glancing away, Cui Miao secretly rolled her eyes, and resigned herself to looking at the black bowl in front of her. Gritting his teeth, he pinched his nose and poured in the tonic.Putting a candied fruit into his mouth, Cui Miao saluted and said, "If the commander doesn't order, then I will leave first."

Without waiting for Shen Qing to answer, Cui Miao straightened up and left, slandering in her heart: "Who hasn't lost his temper yet! I've done enough courtesy, what else can you do!"

Cui Miao left quickly, but Shen Qing didn't stop her, but just watched quietly.

While tidying up, Chang An asked doubtfully, "My lord, did you do something wrong? Why does Cui Baihu seem a little displeased?"

Shen Qing withdrew his gaze, put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, and said flatly: "It's nothing, just step back, don't bother me without my order."

Chang An hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, you haven't had lunch yet."

Shen Qing didn't speak, but just glanced at Chang An lightly.

Chang An quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, my lord."

The door was closed, Shen Qing let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "Are you clear?"
