struggle in ancient times

A little eunuch outside knocked on the door: "His Royal Highness, the fourth prince's carrier pigeon has flown over."

The prince got up quickly, "There is news about the fourth brother, you all should step back."

He took the pigeon to his side and stepped back to the room to read the letter.

The letter wrote about all kinds of things that Song An encountered along the way, and also included the fact that he recognized a sub-father (although Liao Tingyu did not admit it), and the most important thing was what Liao Tingyu said at night.

The prince watched and burst into tears.

These words pierced into his dark heart like a ray of light, giving him direction.

Now he is almost stuck in a swamp, and it is difficult to break free. His counselors are pushing him one by one, vying for this and that, but they are not lucky if they don't have any hands, and they will always be self-defeating.

He was scurrying around like a headless fly.

Step by step, you get deeper and deeper, and then you don't know where you are?

However, this letter gave him direction and a way out.

Thinking of my younger brother who cared about him even in danger, I was particularly moved.

He knows this will be the beginning of his road to success, and it won't be a lonely road.

He hurriedly collected his mood and started to write.

In my heart, I described my gratitude to Yafu.

Since my younger brother has recognized all of them, and he is the sub-father, then it's okay for me to recognize one.

He was obviously a person who had never masked his face, and he might even be very young, but it brought him a sense of peace of mind, which he had never felt before.

One month later, the fourth prince received the signal, and triumphantly passed the letter to Liao Tingyu. Liao Tingyu looked at the contents in his heart, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Why does this royal person feel a little familiar?

He believed him so much, and he was a bit thick-skinned. Seeing how sincere these two people were, he said that there was nothing wrong with the money matter, and directly threw three prescriptions to the fourth prince.

One is for making soap, one is for making sugar, and one is actually for making gunpowder.

Don't ask the gunpowder maker, how did he know the specific method of the local artillery in the TV anti-Japanese drama? He even went to Baidu to check it. In this era of cold weapons, it is equivalent to a magic weapon.

General Zhao looked at the list in amazement.

Like a child getting a new toy, he proudly showed off to his two nephews: "How is it? Does your uncle have a particularly good eye? With this, I can beat those little bastards back to their hometown and dare not come out." .”

"I don't think so, since I'm on the same level as him, you'll become my uncle after teaching you to do this." Zhao Han was very unhappy these days, and he didn't even have the face to go to the county government office again. drank.

Every time he heard the fourth prince, Song An, calling his father Liao Tingyu to ignore him, his heart trembled with embarrassment.

"Okay, cousin, don't be like this. Yafu is a very nice person. Every time you go to eat and drink secretly, Yafu knows about it, and even ordered the kitchen to leave a copy for you." Four The prince comforted Zhao Han with a funny face.

"Am I curious about his food? And you're really thick-skinned. Every time you called Yafu, you didn't agree to it, and you called it so affectionately. I don't know how you did it." Zhao Han was stabbed in the wound, and walked out of the camp angrily.

Zhao Yuan looked at the figure of his nephew going away, and shook his head tiredly. He didn't know what happened to their Zhao family. There was never a single educated person, and all of them were straight-hearted warriors: "Fourth prince, don't you Angry, he has that temper, his mouth is a bit poisonous."

"Uncle Wu, I'm fine, it's not that I don't know."

In half a year, the county has undergone great changes. General Zhao's artillery had gained a great reputation a few months ago, deterring a group of Xiao Xiaoxiao.

The people here have also gradually become plump. Liao Tingyu made goat milk into goat milk powder and sold it to various places, and businessmen saw business opportunities coming one after another.

He was standing on a once barren hillside, where crops had already been planted and the harvest was already beginning.

Those prisoners who had been rehabilitated through labor were sent home one after another after being reformed well, and now the farmers who came to do short-term labor nearby are helping in the fields.

After a series of transformations these days, the land is no longer as barren as it used to be, and it can be equivalent to the level of a medium field.

Liao Tingyu saw that there were not many people with shackles left, so he called Liao Shi over: "Brother, go and help me divide these lands and put up a notice to see if anyone comes to rent them, and if you don't charge too much, just pay them." Just like you used to give to the people in the village."

"Okay, I'll do it right now." After so many days of training, Liao Shi has become much more capable and shrewd in doing things, and his walking posture is even more upright.

Every time Liao Ming watched Liao Shi go out to do missions, he couldn't help but sigh: "The second brother has a way."

"My military camp is never a good place. Everyone belongs to rough old men. I think the fourth prince is also calling you Yafu now. Why don't you arrange the fourth prince in your house and I'll send a few more people over. "Zhao Yuan is going back to the court these days, and the artillery has attracted the attention of many people.

The military camp without him is not a good place for the fourth prince. After thinking about it, he thinks that the county government is more suitable.

The key is that these two people are already familiar with each other, and it is common for them to eat and drink together.

"That's what he was willing to shout, but I didn't admit it. Besides, with the power of the county government, do you think it can be just in case?" Liao Tingyu disagreed. not good."

"You kid think I don't want to, it's the will of the Holy Majesty to stay here for a year." And it was the crown prince's request.

Since listening to Liao Tingyu's words, the crown prince's position has gradually strengthened, and he has the right to speak in the court.

"It's okay, I'll find a few people, and I'll bring you that boy too, to relieve your boredom. Besides, when the prince came to visit, he would either live in the post station Li, or live in the best place in the entire county. Now you are the best in the county." Isn't your county government the safest place?" Zhao Yuan continued to persuade.

"Okay, then you have to make sure that these people are trustworthy, and the value of force must be high. It's best to make it mighty." Liao Tingyu frowned. He was afraid of trouble, but he also felt that Zhao Yuan's words made sense , after all, there is no choice.

After the two settled, Liao Tingyu and Huang Zilan took a rest together.

Huang Zilan was a little worried. He didn't know the real identity of the child before, but now that he knew, why did he let him live in the county government office?

Although the relationship is good now, but...

"Before we were unable to protect him, but now his identity is aboveboard. Anyone who dares to move will destroy the Nine Clans, and General Zhao should have almost eliminated the potential danger by now, plus the safety of the people he sent It is guaranteed enough." Liao Tingyu hugged Huang Zilan.

"Is the baby okay these days? I heard that I had a cold a few days ago. I've been so busy that I haven't looked at him carefully for a long time. I don't know what's going on?"

"What's so bad about that kid being able to eat and sleep now. He asked for a cold, and now he's crawling into the wet place before it's hot. We've been looking for it for a long time, and he deserves it." Huang Zilan snuggled up to Liao Tingyu's side.

He hugged the person next to him, a little sad: "Actually, I think I am really useless. I can't help you with many things. I can only watch you busy alone."

"What are you talking about? If it weren't for you supporting me behind my back, how could I let go of it? Now I have involved the Liao family and you for my own sake, but you didn't blame me at all for getting such a wife. What more can I ask for?"

"But I also want to help you. Now we have established a firm foothold here, and the child can be weaned. I want to go out and do business. Although I may not make much money, I stay at home all day long. It's really boring." Huang Zilan was a little unhappy, he was like a bird trapped in a gorgeous cage, feeling like he was back before he was married.

In the past, my father was always worried that he would be abducted, or someone would say that he was taught at home. After he was ten years old, he kept him in the backyard. Except for special days when he could go out, he was obedient at other times. Most of them stay at home, either reading or writing and growing flowers, it’s so boring.

In the past, he could help Liao Tingyu look at the study, but now he either guards the children all day long or is served by the maids. He doesn't even let him interfere in the kitchen, and most of the children are raised by Deng Xiaoping. Shi and Wen Xiu'er were working on it, he couldn't help anything and was very powerless.

Liao Tingyu thinks about it too, he feels that since he and his wife are one, it is better to take Zilan to do things with him in the future, to increase his knowledge, to do good things, and not to be too restrained.

"You don't need to do business, so how about it, tomorrow you and I will go to see those plowed fields, and a group of newcomers have been locked in these few days. You see how it is done, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with it in a few days." There is still business on the sidelines.”

"Ah?! How can I interfere with that thing!" Huang Zilan was taken aback.

"It's okay, just understand that I'm not here, so you can make the decision. Apart from me, you are the only one who can do anything in our family. Alas! We have all the good genes here, so there is no way." Liao Tingyu said.

Huang Zilan thought about it for a while, and it's okay, he hasn't done it yet, it should be similar to a shopkeeper in business.

"You just said that a group of people were imprisoned. What happened to them?"

"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's not a big deal. It's just to tempt people to set up gambling rooms to trap others. As soon as they react, they will sue them. There are only about 10 people. Just follow me to see where those places are. , and now it has expanded a lot, and we will be big landlords after we retire.”

"It is estimated that there is no county magistrate as capable as you."

"That's right, I even put half of it in the public school, people are so kind."

Huang Zilan originally wanted to take a carriage, but seeing Liao Tingyu riding a horse alone, he felt very majestic, so he also wanted to try: "I don't take a carriage anymore, I want to ride a horse too."

"Okay, I'll let someone bring a pony over here, you have to be careful, and riding a horse is very abrasive, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go back to the carriage." Liao Tingyu was a little worried, because when he first learned how to ride a horse, that The skin on the inner side of the thigh was directly worn out.

Now I see myself riding in a heroic manner, thinking about the training, I really broke out in cold sweat.

"No problem, I've ridden some horses before, don't worry." Huang Zilan got on the horse smoothly, with skillful movements, and he knew at a glance that he would do it.

Liao Tingyu didn't say anything when he looked at it, and his horse only reached the belly of Liao Tingyu's horse, which was very petite. It looked like one person and one horse riding on it, which had a special flavor.

The two walked ahead side by side, and when they came to the field, the crops had already begun to be harvested. Some people were hired, and they were paid 30 Wen a day.

The price is not high, but it is not cheap, and people do it with passion.

Layers of grain were harvested and piled together. It took him more than half a year of hard work, and now he looks very fulfilled.

It is fertile in winter, planted in spring, and now it is harvested, and it also benefits from the weather here, although it is not cold enough.

At the beginning, people were still afraid, fearing that the county magistrate would be a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes and was careful everywhere, but now he knew that he was a master of Qingtian.

When the harvest is needed here, everyone actively signs up. There is a clear division of labor, and these prisoners are forced by the guards to do the most tiring work. The people who are invited show their strength to do the corresponding work, and the money they give is also different.

The farmers who didn't participate in the nearby came here to educate their children and pointed at these offenders.

"Won't these people resist? Are you going too far?" Huang Zilan felt a little soft-hearted when he looked at the man who was too tired to stand up and was pointed at.

This is punishing one's heart, how can one behave in the future!

"No, do you know? They have turned several families into prostitutes. They can't be kind to this kind of person, let alone let him do the same thing as these hired people. I don't remember that at all. To achieve the meaning of punishment, if you want to punish them, you must let them, even those who have not committed the crime, know that it will not be so easy if you commit another crime in the future." Liao Tingyu shook his head and rubbed Huang Zilan's little head.

He never needed to sympathize with these people, because they were not worthy of sympathy, but Huang Zilan was different, he saw a little bit, and became more sensitive after becoming a mother and father, and often couldn't help sympathizing with them.

Huang Zilan also knew his problem, so he shut his mouth and didn't look at it, didn't care about it, and ran to talk to the people beside him.

It is not only men and Shuang'er who work here, but also several women.

They have a clear division of labor, and it is rare for them to sit down and do hard work, while Shuang'er and the woman follow behind to pack things.

"How did you do it? It's just a small hill, but you can open up hundreds of acres of land and store water. Do you want to promote it in the county? After all, there are still many people who often It’s because I haven’t found a place where I can open up land.” Huang Zilan felt very magical looking at the terraced fields, and he felt gratifying when looking at the colors layer by layer.

"No need, just wait and see, as long as it comes to autumn, basically many places that can do this will have such land." Liao Tingyu said with confidence.

Huang Zilan looked at the people around, and those people smiled kindly, it is true, many people here are obviously not working here, they all come here to watch, and occasionally help them when they see them coming, presumably they are watching How did the fields open and how did the water flow?

He looked at his husband with admiration, and sure enough nothing could trouble him.

"You are really powerful. I think many people here will be rich next year."

"I can't guarantee this, but at least it will be better than now." Liao Tingyu hugged Huang Zilan.

"How about looking at this piece of land, does it give you a special sense of satisfaction?" In fact, what Liao Tingyu wanted to say was, you see, I contracted this piece of land for you.

"What are you satisfied with? The only thing I can satisfy now is to thank fate for allowing me to meet you." Huang Zilan's soft words hit Liao Tingyu's heart, and his heart beat uncontrollably.

Why is his husband so cute?It is so deeply in his heart.

Liao Tingyu looked at Huang Zilan with deeper and deeper eyes, not knowing what kind of storm was brewing in those dark eyes.

Without realizing it, Huang Zilan ran to talk to the twins over there.
