The life in Zhuangzi is very comfortable. Jia Min rests in bed every day to recuperate. He occasionally gets up and walks around the yard, teasing the children. He doesn't need to worry about anything. He cooperates with the doctor's instructions, instead of eating and sleeping.

The little baby is more than 3 months old now, and he has been raised very well. He is fat and white, and he is basically no different from a baby born on a full moon.

Small hands and feet are like lotus root joints, round, fat and tender.The little guy loves to laugh very much. He has a smiling face by nature. Even when he is asleep, he looks like a little angel with crooked eyebrows.

Anxi likes him very much, and he is also very attached to Anxi. Every time the time comes, if Anxi does not show up, he will whimper and keep looking out.

This is obviously waiting for Anxi to come.

It might be because of the comfortable climate, or it might be because of the quiet surroundings. The little guy slept much better than when he was in the Lin Mansion, especially after playing with Anxi, he slept soundly all night.

If I can eat and sleep, my body will get better soon. The doctor will check my pulse every day, and there is nothing wrong with it.

A virtuous circle, Jia Min doesn't have to worry about his son being safe and sound. Except for missing her husband occasionally, life is not bad, and her health is getting better day by day.

The food on Zhuangzi was much rougher than that in Lin's, but it inexplicably matched Jia Min's appetite, and he could eat a lot at each meal. In the later period, with regular and quantitative exercise, his body gradually became stronger.

Anxi has been idle for a few days, and sleeps until the sun rises every day. It can be regarded as making up for staying up all night before. After getting up, he wanders around, occasionally sitting in the shade of a tree and reading a book, and his life is quite leisurely.

But after a long time, it became a bit boring. After thinking about it, Anxi took out a pen and paper, and planned to write a short story. The story revolved around the reform of the salt administration as the main line, and the reactions of all parties were the cornerstone, and he wrote a group portrait. The play reflects the competition of various forces in the officialdom.

Although Anxi didn't know much, from the information that Lin Ruhai leaked sporadically, many ghosts and snake spirits were involved, each showing their own special abilities.

Some of them agree with it, and some oppose it. They agree not necessarily because they think it is good for the country and the people, but they may just want to fish in troubled waters.

And opposition does not necessarily mean harming his interests, perhaps just opposing the reform itself.

Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and everyone has different views and positions on one matter, and sometimes his views are in favor, but the things he does are destructive.

This is a big play, but also a difficult play to write.

And this writing must not be published in this era, but it is idle if you are idle, and Anxi's hands are itchy, he hasn't written an article for a long time.

Anxi is a writer of online literature. To be honest, I have never been exposed to such an orthodox literature subject. It takes a lot of energy to set the background.

One good thing about Anxi is that he is very patient and has a lot of time to squander now.

As Lin Ruhai was an important minister of the imperial court, there were many newspapers in the mansion, and Anxi read them at will. This time when he came out, Anxi took most of these newspapers and books.

Based on the current social background, it will be much easier than Anxi's imagining. Moreover, Lin Ruhai is currently in charge of the salt administration. He must know the reactions of various forces best. When the matter is over, Anxi will be able to inquire with him.

With things to do, the days seemed to pass by in a flash. Before Anxi realized it, the outside world had turned upside down.

After checking the previous accounts, Prince Fu directly led people to copy a group of salt merchants who evaded taxes and evaded taxes. He followed the vines and caught many corrupt officials who had received bribes from salt merchants.

The sum of the copied family property was worth the tax of the national treasury for a year. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and all sticky hands were caught.

Everyone in the entire imperial court was in danger. Those who were greedy were afraid of being caught, and those who were not greedy were afraid of being implicated. They were all honest and safe, and dared not move.

In this way, the reform of the salt administration by Lin Ruhai and Prince Fu's five princes went extremely smoothly. Everyone cooperated with all their strength, fearing that at this juncture, they would become the rafters in the early stage and be caught out to make an example to others.

In just two months, the reform of the salt administration was successfully completed, and it was done in a stable and excessive manner. No one dared to make trouble, and no one dared not cooperate.

This reform can not only bring more salt tax to the court, but also effectively suppress the price of salt, and the common people will no longer be able to afford salt.

The emperor was so happy that he rewarded Lin Ruhai and promoted him to a higher level. He still supervised the salt administration for the time being. After a year, when the turmoil of the salt administration reform calmed down, he sent someone to take over, and Lin Ruhai was transferred to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai was naturally happy to be appreciated by the emperor, but what made him even more happy was the good news from Zhuangzi.One is that the health of the wife and son is getting better and better, and the other is that the food crops in the village have matured. According to Zhuangtou's estimation, the yield per mu is not as high as a thousand gold, but also 800 catties.

This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, so I can't allow him to be unhappy.

For the sake of caution, Lin Ruhai invited Prince Fu and the Fifth Prince to come to Zhuangzi to witness the harvest of grain, and they could escort the good seeds when they entered Beijing.

After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, Prince Fu found it incredible that a mu yields a thousand catties?What kind of joke is this?

But considering that Mr. Lin has always been steady, he wouldn't have dared to say that if he hadn't been extremely sure.

if this is true

That disciple's family can continue for another hundred years!

Prince Fu and the Fifth Prince looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

This is really a gift from God to the disciples.

Without saying a word, the two got into the carriage and followed Lin Ruhai to Zhuangzi.

Early in the morning, Anxi and the head of the village were waiting. As soon as they arrived, they took them directly to the field. The servants were ready to harvest as soon as they were ordered.

Soon the potatoes on one mu of land were harvested. One weighed 1200 catties. It might be a little wet because of the humidity, but it was definitely more than [-] catties.

Then there is corn on an acre of land. Because there are corn cobs, this is not intuitive enough, and it needs to be threshed before weighing.

Anxi asked people to bring the 1000 catties of potatoes back to Zhuangzi. The next step was to let Prince Fu and the fifth prince see how the potatoes are eaten and how the food made from the potatoes is.

Prince Fu and the Fifth Prince expressed that they would watch the corn threshing to see how much there was.

Potatoes can be used as both a staple food and a dish, Anxi dictated, and asked the cooks to make more than a dozen dishes with potatoes.The staple food is potato flour. Because of the rush, it is directly dried and then ground into powder.In no time a delicious potato meal was ready, accompanied by a basket of boiled corn.

Anxi directly asked someone to set up a table in the field, and invited the two of them to sit down, and the meal was served with the fervent harvest scene.

After tasting it, Prince Fu and the Fifth Prince felt that both potatoes and corn tasted very good, and after listening to Zhuangtou's introduction, these grains not only have a high yield per mu, but are also suitable for all kinds of land. The north is dry and lacks water, and corn and potatoes are all suitable. no problem.

The two were inexplicably pleasantly surprised, and Prince Fu repeatedly patted Anxi's shoulder and applauded, "Zian, you have really done a great job, I will definitely invite Brother Huang to reward you greatly.

"Then thank you Prince Fu for your kindness." Anxi said with a smile.

"No thanks, no thanks, you are a great hero, hahaha." Prince Fu was really happy. As a member of the royal family, he always cared about the common people in the world.Anxi's move has solved the big problem of food. As long as the improved varieties are promoted, the people will no longer have to worry about being hungry.

It took four days to harvest all the potatoes and corn, and the results were very gratifying. Ten mu of corn harvested more than 1 catties, and seven mu of potatoes also harvested 3 catties.

Anxi arranged for people to load all the cars, leaving only a few spare seeds, and let Prince Fu and the fifth prince take away the rest.

There are still sweet potatoes left in the field that are not yet ripe, but there are examples of potatoes and corn. The two believed in Anxi, and their errands had been completed, so it was not good to stay in Gusu, so they had to leave regretfully.

As for the harvest of sweet potatoes, "The emperor will definitely send someone to watch over it. Until then, please keep Master Lin and Mr. Lin to keep it secret."

"Of course, please rest assured, Prince Fu and Fifth Prince, I will definitely let people guard this place." Lin Ruhai saluted and sent the two royals away.

Lin Ruhai turned to face Anxi, nodded with a smile, "Andi is ready, when the imperial envoy comes next time, it's time for Andi to go to Beijing and receive the title."

"Okay, I haven't been to the capital city yet, so I should take a good look around." Anxi replied with a smile. Anxi has visited the modern Beijing city, but this is the first time for the ancient version, and Jiangnan Misty Rain Gusu must have a different style, it is worth looking forward to.

After that, Anxi followed Lin Ruhai and Jia Min back to Lin's house. During this time, Lin Ruhai was very free and there was nothing to do in the yamen, which happened to be an advantage to Anxi.

Anxi often consults Lin Ruhai about the before and after of the reform of the salt administration, guesses their attitudes based on the dynamics of all parties, and which party's interests they represent, and then selects several classic parties as supporting roles in the story.

The protagonist is naturally an official who reforms the salt administration based on Lin Ruhai.

This novel was very difficult to write. Anxi revised and revised it, and overturned and rewritten it later, but the result was not very satisfactory.When the fourth version was written, the imperial envoy sent by the emperor came, and the sweet potatoes in Zhuangzi were finally about to see the light of day again like potatoes and corn.

The imperial envoy this time is an official of Chief Farming, whose rank is lower than that of Lin Ruhai, and he is very respectful to both Lin Ruhai and Anxi.He said he was an imperial envoy, but in fact he just came to be a witness, and then brought someone to escort Sweet Potato to Beijing.

However, this is also a performance, and it is still possible that the performance that will be famous in history can be obtained by this official, which shows that his background is also very deep.

His grandfather was a first-rank university scholar, once served as the prince and Taifu, and is now the emperor's teacher.He himself was born as a No. [-] scholar, and he was already a member of the fourth rank at the age of forty, and his future prospects are limitless.

Such a person is also reliable in handling affairs, and he has full authority over the matter. Anxi only needs to prepare the luggage for going to Beijing.
