Xiao Zirong withdrew his hand as if being electrocuted, and sat up in an instant, faltering and asking, "Are you awake?"
Xiao Xuexing didn't seem to feel that something was wrong, he sat up slowly and tidied up his clothes, his natural expression made Xiao Zirong relax a lot.
Well, he fell asleep just now, and it wasn't intentional, and... among other things, the hand feels pretty good, the softness is moderate, and the skin is delicate, but the body temperature is a bit low, probably because of illness.
The only thing that puzzled him was that he remembered that he was far away from Xiao Xuexing when he fell asleep, why did he get together with Xiao Xuexing when he woke up?
He observed the positions of the two people and came to a conclusion - Xiao Xuexing probably didn't move much, but he was probably used to occupying such a big bed by himself, so he performed a rolling on the spot after falling asleep .
Xiao Zirong decided to pretend that he didn't know about it.
Just when he was about to ask Xiao Xuexing what he had for breakfast, he suddenly heard Xiao Xuexing ask: "From yesterday to now, you haven't called me brother."
Xiao Zirong froze for a moment, and shouted to Xiao Xuexing without any psychological pressure: "Good morning, brother."
Well, anyway, Xiao Xuexing is much older than him, so there is no shame in calling him brother. As for the mental age, he feels that the other party is more mature than him even in terms of mental age.
Xiao Xuexing patted his head: "Good boy."
The two little eunuchs outside heard the movement inside and asked, and then came in one after another to help Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Zirong wash up.
Xiao Zirong used to take care of all these things by himself, and sometimes even poured water by himself, but now it suddenly becomes a little unaccustomed to wanting to stretch out his hands for food and open his mouth.
He didn't need him to cook the breakfast, the cook Xiao Xuexing brought took care of everything directly.
Xiao Xuexing was still taking herbal diet, and Xiao Zirong remembered that he still had a prescription. After finishing his breakfast, Xiao Zirong did not go down to see the doctor privately, and had someone call him over, and then in front of Xiao Xuexing Passed the prescription to the doctor.
The doctor was still thinking about how to not damage Xiao Zirong's self-esteem, and he said it more euphemistically. He thought that Xiao Zirong had some research on medical skills, and because he cared about the regent, he wanted to write a prescription, but he wrote it to the regent. The prescriptions are all specific to the other party's condition. He has practiced medicine for so many years, and he is better than some imperial doctors. The reason why he did not become an imperial doctor is that the risk of an imperial doctor is too high.
Even if ordinary people are not cured, even if the other party yells and kills, it may not really be able to deal with him, and there may even be a clear-headed person who needs to be stopped by him.
But instead of treating the emperor's family, if the other party said he would kill him if he couldn't be cured, he would really kill him, and no one would intercede for him.
The risk of this job is too high, as long as he has a bite to eat, he will not go.
It's good to be with the Regent now. Although many people are afraid of the Regent, the doctor must say that the Regent is the most worry-free patient he has ever met. He can take whatever medicine he wants to take, and he can take the medicated diet if he wants to eat it , Even if the illness recurs, he has never been held accountable.
Even if the soldiers around him are very vicious, they will come to ask why the regent can't be cured, but the regent will stop them.
So Langzhong is still very confident in his medical skills, but naturally he is not so confident in Xiao Zirong.
It's just that when he unfolded the prescription, at the first glance, hey, it seemed interesting, at the second glance, um, it made sense, at the third glance...he forgot that there were still a few big jobs ahead of him. He was so human that he squatted down and began to study the prescription, and by the way, he was still grabbing the medicine in his hand.
Xiao Zirong waited for a long time without waiting for a reply, and glanced at Xiao Xuexing in a daze for a moment.
Xiao Xuexing knew a little about the doctor, and knew that this was another state of forgetting about things and me, so he simply said: "Let's go, don't you say you want to take me to see something else today?"
Xiao Zirong looked at the doctor again, a little helpless, forget it, it's the same when I come back.
Originally, he wanted to prepare something to eat by himself, so he probably would have to run around outside for a day.
It turned out that Xiao Xuexing had already asked someone to prepare a food box and brought melons.
Xiao Zirong looked around and found that there was only one horse, muskmelon. Although there were other horses, there were also knights standing beside those horses, apparently to escort them out together.
Holding the whip, Xiao Xuexing turned to look at Xiao Zirong and said, "Get on the horse."
Xiao Zirong blinked: "Can I apply to ride by myself?"
Xiao Xuexing asked ruthlessly, "Can you?"
Xiao Zirong: ...
Also... Really no, when he was in Jiankang, he didn't have the opportunity to learn how to ride a horse. Later, the only time he rode a horse was that he ran into a bandit's den, which is really unbearable.
But Xiao Zirong always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so in the end he shared a horse with Xiao Xuexing.
After he got out of the city lord's mansion, he remembered one thing - they can ride in a carriage without horses, and his place is not really a barren mountain, and the carriage can still pass.
But it was too late to think about it at this time, they have already gone out, so they can't let people turn around and go back to prepare the carriage. There are quite a lot of things Xiao Xuexing wants to see, so don't waste time.
Anyway, Xiao Xuexing is his elder brother, so there is nothing unaccustomed to sitting with his elder brother. He even adjusted a comfortable position for him once, and used Xiao Xuexing as a cushion when he was tired.
Xiao Xuexing laughed lightly, and his ears became hot from the laughter, and he felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to sit up straight, but as soon as he moved, Xiao Xuexing pushed him back into his arms, and warned him: "Sit still, don't mess around."
All right, this is what you said, Xiao Zirong leaned on Xiao Xuexing very peacefully.
At this time, Taoyuan City is at a relatively lively time of the day, because now most of the farm work is done at home, such as rice peeling, etc., when you pass by those open gates, you can see a busy area. A scene full of life.
A good harvest always makes people happy. Although there were disasters this year, the harvest is still good.
Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. It just so happened that the enemy had been repulsed before. Basically, all the able-bodied people in the city participated in this battle. While working and chatting, they all had proud smiles on their faces.
Xiao Xuexing had never seen such a scene. Although Jiankang was prosperous, it was not so down-to-earth.
Xiao Xuexing slowed down his pace and observed the city built on top of his ancestral house.
After the harvest, many people would take the initiative to go to pay taxes, and cartloads of grain were pulled into the granary. Xiao Xuexing went to the granary and found that although the granary was not big, it was full.
Moreover, it is basically new rice. The old rice has begun to be sold to the common people at a reduced price. The common people can also choose to sell it to the treasury after paying the tax with the new rice. The price of the new rice is definitely more expensive than the old rice. Eat the same thing, many people do the same.
Xiao Xuexing was surprised and turned to look at Xiao Zirong and asked: "You are losing money by going in and out like this, why do you do that?"
Xiao Zirong scratched his head and said: "Actually, I didn't want to do this at first, but this year is good, the harvest is good, the grain harvest is good, and the granary is not enough. I just want to sell these new rice."
When Xiao Xuexing heard the words good year and good harvest, he had the feeling that he and Xiao Zirong were not in the same time and space. If the year was really good this year, the Northern Wei Dynasty would not be forced to attack Qi State to plunder some supplies. By the way, domestic conflicts are transferred.
When Xiao Xuexing was silent, Xiao Zirong turned his head and asked, "Is the tax almost paid?"
Wei Yun had been following Xiao Zirong cautiously just now. She was relaxed and confident when facing Xiao Zirong, but she dared not speak or make other actions when she was followed by a regent.
At this time, after hearing Xiao Zirong's words, he said cautiously: "Half of it has already been paid, and there are still some that have not been collected. By the way, the soybeans you asked for have also been collected a lot this year. Are you going to give them to Sister Cai Niang?"
Xiao Zirong replied casually: "Okay, just tell her."
Wei Yun nodded, not daring to say anything more. After hearing this, Xiao Xuexing turned around and asked, "These... are just half the tax?"
He looked at Wei Yun, without any emotion in his eyes, without questioning or looking down, he seemed to ask a question in a normal way.
Wei Yun was so nervous that she was a little stiff: "Yes... yes."
Xiao Xuexing was a little strange: "Didn't your place be affected during the previous flood?"
How is this possible?Clouds don't pick where it rains, not to mention that there is more rain in the mountains than in other places. Xiao Xuexing remembered that when he was young, it often rained in the mountains, but when it rained in the mountains, it was sunny outside.
Wei Yun stammered and said, "Yes, no, no..."
Xiao Zirong couldn't stand her nervous look, and said with a smile: "Relax, the regent doesn't eat people."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xiao Xuexing: "It is true that it rained a lot, and it was more than outside, but last year I was worried that there would be flash floods and other outbreaks, so I built a water system around the city in advance , All that water was drained into the sea. Only when I was inexperienced at the beginning, the seedlings in the field were washed away a lot, but after the water was released, there was still time to replant, and because the water brought soil, it was also It can be regarded as improving the soil quality, but the impact is not particularly large anyway.”
Xiao Xuexing was a little curious: "The water system around the city? Is it the moat outside?"
Xiao Zirong shook his head: "Not only that, but also the irrigation water system, Wei Yun, bring the map here."
It would be a waste of saliva to say it, so Xiao Zirong decided to save things and let Xiao Xuexing look at the map directly.
After hearing this, Wei Yun immediately turned around to get the map, which was also drawn on paper that Xiao Xuexing didn't like.
After all, the paper bought outside was not as big as Xiao Zirong wanted, and this map was almost the size of four desks put together.
After the map was brought over, Wei Yun and her adjutant slowly unfolded the scroll.
After unfolding, Xiao Xuexing raised his eyebrows: "You are... a map?"
The painting in front of me is completely different from the map in Xiao Xuexing's cognition. The mountains and waters on it are not simple representations, but a rough outline is drawn in detail, and then the name is marked on it. Moreover, it is a color map, and the mountains are green. Yes, the water is blue and even paints part of the coastline.
On the map, the entire distribution of Taoyuan City and the distribution of farmland are marked out in detail.
Xiao Xuexing reckoned that if he had this map, he would be able to take down the city in a short time, no matter who defended the city.
Xiao Zirong pointed to a river on the map and said: "This is a newly dug canal. It connects the tributary of the Yangtze River in the north, the coast in the south, and the mountain stream and the moat in the middle. This side is the tributary of the canal radiating past. Irrigation, in this way, the entire water system is formed, and these tributaries have gates to ensure that the water can be kept outside when the flood comes, and it is not allowed to hit the farmland. However, the flood must be within the bearing range of the canal. Okay, if it's outside the bearing range...there may be no way to keep it here, so this waterway still needs to be built, but I haven't figured out how to build it yet."
Xiao Xuexing stared blankly at the rivers on the map, these rivers did not exist in his memory, and if there was a flash flood when he was young, it would indeed take a lot of manpower and material resources to stop the flood.
But at that time, the Wen family was rich and well-off, so Xiao Xuexing never realized the danger of the flood.
And now...he couldn't believe that such a large water system was built in such a short period of time?
Even though he believed in Xiao Zirong in his heart, Xiao Xuexing still asked, "Are these... in planning or already built?"
Xiao Zirong said: "Except for the ones that are still in planning, all of them have been built."
Xiao Xuexing said decisively: "Take me to have a look."
He couldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes.
Xiao Xuexing didn't seem to feel that something was wrong, he sat up slowly and tidied up his clothes, his natural expression made Xiao Zirong relax a lot.
Well, he fell asleep just now, and it wasn't intentional, and... among other things, the hand feels pretty good, the softness is moderate, and the skin is delicate, but the body temperature is a bit low, probably because of illness.
