After the salted fish is married

Wind blows

The arrival of the Guozijian students greatly relieved Ji Song's troubles, and the students were arranged in suitable positions in a short time.

Those who came to Liangzhou with the Guozijian students were rewarded by the court, which arrived two days later than the students.When Ji Song and the others received the news, the reward had already entered Pingchang City.

In previous years, when Ji Song was in the Chiling Army, whenever it was the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, Emperor Pingyuan would send the imperial army to bring several carts of gifts.So many corrupt officials have been raised in the bitter cold of Liangzhou, and now there is nothing to do... Emperor Pingyuan knew Ji Song's suffering very well, so this year's gifts were extra rich, and there were more than 50 horse-drawn carriages to deliver the gifts Every wagon is packed with goodies.

Excitedly, Bai Tao rushed into the kitchen with a basket of big crabs: "Look, young master, crabs! The emperor sent a lot of crabs to the prince! We can steam the crabs and eat them!"

If they are in the capital city, crabs are nothing unusual.But when they were in Liangzhou, the hairy crabs brought in from the capital seemed extraordinarily expensive.Not to mention that each hairy crab in the basket has a crab cover that is bigger than a palm, and it is a rare boutique in the capital.

The crabs in the basket opened their teeth and danced their claws, and the crabs who followed the convoy across half of Chu and Liao were still alive and well.The silly Bai Tao was very moved: "It's so kind, the emperor is so kind to our lord."

It is said that the Tian family father and son have no family relationship, but the emperor did not forget the prince just because he arrived in Liangzhou.Look, he will also send big crabs to the prince.

As an outsider, Bai Tao didn't know what Emperor Pingyuan had done so that he could say such words with a happy face.Yan Xining, who had personally witnessed Emperor Pingyuan's tricks, was not so relaxed at all. He looked at the crabs with complicated eyes: "Wash a few and steam them at night, and send the rest to Lao Zhang, so that he can give the brothers extra meals at night."

Bai Tao nodded hurriedly: "Okay."

Looking at Bai Tao Huantuo's back, Yan Xining sighed complicatedly, then walked slowly towards the study.The commander of the imperial army who was in charge of escorting the reward also brought a letter written by Emperor Pingyuan. After reading the letter, Ji Song locked himself in the study for almost two hours.

Yan Xining knocked lightly on the door: "Rong Chuan, may I come in?"

After a while, the sound of Ji Song's footsteps came from inside the house.The door opened slowly, and Ji Song stood in front of Yan Xining lonely, with unresolved fatigue in his eyes.After seeing Yan Xining, he squeezed out a forced smile: "Ah Ning."

Yan Xining reached out and hugged Ji Song's waist: "Don't laugh if you don't want to, don't force yourself."

The curve of the corners of Ji Song's lips gradually straightened. He put his arms around Yan Xining with his back, resting his chin on Yan Xining's shoulder: "I thought I wouldn't be moved when I read his letter."

In the end, he still couldn't control it. In his letter, Emperor Pingyuan told him about the koi in Rongwang Mansion and the fruits in Plum Garden.He let him add clothes to the cold weather, don't suffer yourself...

As an emperor, Emperor Pingyuan was cold and cold when getting along with his courtiers and most of the princes, but when facing him and Ji Tan, he was always a little more tender.However, it was this little warmth that made him extremely heavy.

Yan Xining patted Ji Song's back, his head nestled against Ji Song's chest: "I understand."

Hugging his princess, Ji Song felt his emotions gradually stabilized.It took a while before he let go of Yan Xining: "Anyway, he really helped me a lot."

Speaking of this, Yan Xining was a little worried: "There are so many people from the Imperial College to Liangzhou, will the crown prince and the second prince have any objections?" With the help of Emperor Pingyuan, no matter who is in charge, they will treat Ji Song Are you afraid?

Now that Ji Song holds the Chi army in his hands, and Liangzhou is his reliance, he has as much as any prince.If the prince and the others knew that Ji Song could stand up now, their eyes would turn red.

Ji Song said slowly: "Imperial Academy has thousands of students who graduate every year, and most of them can only return to their original places. In the past, the Imperial Academy would also recommend talents to various prefectures. This is nothing to worry about."

Besides, the struggle between the crown prince and the second prince is heating up.When Ji Song and the others left, the second prince, Ji Liu, was locked up for three months because of the fire in the reception building. However, within a month, something happened to the prince and he was locked up.

Emperor Pingyuan's two most promising princes are locked up, and the court will only become more chaotic, so he can only find an excuse to release the two.These two are now fighting to the death, and there are only a few hundred students of the Imperial College, so they don't take it to heart.

After talking with Yan Xining for a while, Ji Song felt better: "This time the capital sent a lot of things, do you see if there is anything you like? By the way, there will be crabs sent here in previous years. Don't you like them?" Eating crabs? Go get some and steam them tonight."

Yan Xining chuckled: "You are too late, Bai Tao is already steaming crabs."

When the crabs came out of the pan, the sky was getting dark, and it was finally time to sit down and have a quiet dinner.The meal tonight is very rich. In addition to the usual dishes, there is a plate of yellow and orange steamed crabs on the table.In addition, there is a plate of warm fresh meat mooncakes, and two chrysanthemums are inserted in the empty wine bottle next to the mooncakes.

Looking at the crabs and fresh meat mooncakes on the table, Yan Xining was a little amused: "Are we making up for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

The big families in the capital will enjoy the moon and chrysanthemums, eat crabs and mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, they are so busy this year that they don't even think about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ji Song picked up a crab and handed it to Yan Xining: "Yes, let's treat it as if we were celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival." However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is of no significance to him, and he and Ah Ning are reunited every day.

Speaking of which, Ji Song handed the eight pieces of crabs to Aning: "Come."

Yan Xining waved his hand: "I don't need these." He can't use this kind of elegant thing, he eats crabs quite roughly, so he just broke off his legs and covered his mouth to eat.I heard that someone can eat a crab for two hours, but Yan Xining doesn't need half a cup of tea for a crab.

The crab meat is fresh and sweet, and you can taste the delicious taste without dipping in anything.Especially the ball of crab roe or crab paste in the crab cover, that is the delicacy in the world.Yan Xining originally thought that the crab would lose weight on the way, but the crab he ate was almost overflowing with roe, and he was very satisfied to eat it.

When he had just finished eating a crab, Ji Song put another crab in front of him: "I heard that the crab meat is cold, so don't be greedy."

Yan Xining smiled and nodded: "Okay." Having said that, three of the four crabs on the table entered his stomach.As a native of the water town, he always eats crabs in pots. This time he only ate three crabs. He felt that he hadn't displayed his true strength yet.

He couldn't get enough of it: "Crabs are so delicious. It would be great if Liangzhou could raise big crabs one day." Hearing these words, a trace of self-blame and distress flashed in Ji Song's eyes.If he hadn't come to Liangzhou with him, Ah Ning could happily eat shrimp and crab in the capital now.

Yan Xining actually began to think seriously: "Isn't there a Zhuangzi in our family? How about I try to put a few crabs in the pond and see if I can produce small crabs next year?"

Ji Song didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I heard that crabs are going to lay eggs in the sea."

Yan Xining slapped his head suddenly: "Yeah, look at my memory. I only thought about eating crabs, but I forgot even the habits of crabs." If he really put a few crabs in the pond, I'm afraid that all the crabs Can't survive winter.

In Yan Xining's memory, whenever it is crab eating season, the rice will turn yellow.I still remember the last time I traveled, the rice in Liangzhou had just bloomed, but now the full ears of rice bowed their heads heavily.As soon as the autumn wind blows, some rice fields are already faintly golden.

In previous years, when the harvest season came, the people of Liangzhou began to worry.First of all, they were worried about locusts. In previous years, when the sky was dry, there would always be a plague of locusts. By the time of harvest, the crops had been devoured by locusts and there was not much left.When the locusts broke out, even if the people stayed in the fields all night, it would not help.

Even if they escaped the plague of locusts by chance, they would worry about the disaster of soldiers.Liaoxia's army is the best at burning, killing and looting. Before winter, they will take advantage of the loopholes to bypass the Chiling Army's defense line and rush to the inland.One year, Liaoxia's iron hooves went deep into the hinterland of Liangzhou for hundreds of miles, and no one survived where they passed.

Even if they escaped the plague of locusts and soldiers, and had a good harvest of food, the people still couldn't be happy.Because they have to pay all kinds of exorbitant taxes, they have worked so hard to plant a season of rice, and in the end they can't even eat enough.

However, this year is different, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to a good harvest.

Under the plump ears of rice came the noise of ducks, and the ducks from Sizhou and Yizhou were feeding on locusts.The big ducks laid countless eggs, and the little ducks were strong and fleshy.Under their flat beaks, the locusts had nowhere to escape, and the locust plague that made the people fearful disappeared without a trace.

By the end of the autumn harvest, the ducks have grown and become fat.Some of them will be sent to Chi Ling Army to become nourishing food for soldiers, and some will be distributed to poor people to increase their income.

In addition, the places where ducks walked left countless feces, and the paddy fields and dry land nourished by the feces were extremely fertile, laying the foundation for the next harvest.

As for military disasters, there is no need to worry about this year.Ji Song came to Liangzhou, with him in the rear, the soldiers of the Chiling Army raised their vigilance by 120 million.In addition, in the first half of the year, they almost retaliated against the Liaoxia people, and now the Liaoxia cavalry began to tremble in their hearts as soon as they approached the border.

In addition, after Ji Song came to Liangzhou, the people were exempted from taxes for three years, and the food that the people can leave this year has increased several times compared to previous years.Therefore, the smiles on the faces of the people looking at the crops in the field are brighter day by day, and the eyes are more eager day by day.

As the students of the Guozijian gradually became familiar with their positions, and the various constructions of Pingchang City were in full swing, Ji Song gradually shifted his energy from the city to the crops outside the city.

Every day, he would take Aning to the outside of the city to see the rice that was about to mature, and smelling the fragrance of the rice, hope rose in his heart.Of course, he brought Yan Xining out not just to relax, they had more important things to do.

After the autumn harvest, some land will return to the forest.In order to allow the existing cultivated land to grow more food and feed more people, they have to find ways to increase the yield of the cultivated land.

Although they discussed it with Liangzhou officials before, more practice is needed to turn the vague theory into reality.

Today, the two came to the hilly area in the south of Pingchang City. Pingchang County is close to the Minjiang River. As long as it is not a severe drought, there is actually no shortage of water in the county.The hills in front of me are just like this. Looking at the green mountains and green waters, it looks like a blessed land.

However, Yan Xining found that the people only reclaimed fields at the foot of the mountain, while the slopes and top of the mountain were covered with messy vegetation.Seeing such a mountain forest, he felt a little pity, so he was explaining the principle and structure of the terraced fields to the accompanying officials.

Since it is a land that can grow crops, there is no reason to waste it.If terraced fields are built on the top of the mountain, the whole mountain can be used.

Drought-tolerant economical trees can be planted on the top of the mountain, and after the mountainside is turned into terraced fields, water wheels can be used to get in and out of the water, and crops can also be planted at that time.Planting grass on the ridges that are prone to soil erosion can prevent soil erosion and feed some cattle and sheep...

Following Yan Xining's explanation, the officials who are good at painting drew the outline of the terraced fields according to his vision.After the renderings came out, everyone felt that this method was feasible, and they would take a mountain for experimentation after the autumn harvest.

Seeing the officials climbing a nearby hill with great interest, Yan Xining returned to the carriage and showed Ji Song the renderings drawn by the officials: "Look, Rong Chuan, the students who come out of the Imperial College are different, they all draw beautifully. .”

Ji Song couldn't laugh or cry, he handed over a pear: "Yesterday you showed him the sketch, if he still can't draw it, don't do this job."

Yan Xining took the pear and bit it down, and the sweet pear juice came out: "You can't say that, I specialize in art. I can't do everything well."

The theories he put forward are all used and successful in modern times. Speaking of which, he is the one who picks up the wisdom of others.

Ji Song raised his eyes and looked at the rolling hills: "If this area becomes terraced fields, this terraced field alone can feed the people of three counties." It's not that he is talking nonsense, this data is an official who is good at arithmetic Figured it out.

Ji Song had vague expectations in his eyes. There are eight counties in Liangzhou, if one terraced field can support the people of three counties, how many people can the remaining land support?When Liangzhou becomes a paradise outside the Great Wall, are you afraid that no people will come to settle here?

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the car window, Ji Song looked at Yan Xining softly.If there is no Aning, the locust plague in Liangzhou is enough for him to have a headache at this time. How can there be a bumper harvest today?However, Yan Xining was gnawing on a pear with his head down, and he completely missed Ji Song's various amorous feelings.

Ji Song frowned, could it be that his face is not as good as a pear?He was so angry that he leaned over and was about to kiss his princess, Yan Xining held the pear in one hand and held Ji Song down with the other: "Don't be a fool, the officials below are outside..."

Ji Song lowered the curtain with his backhand, and the inside of the carriage was suddenly dark.He pressed his princess and exchanged a sweet kiss with him: "Pears are so delicious? You don't even look at me."

As he spoke, he kissed Aning's neck, and restlessly reached into Aning's lapel with one hand.Yan Xining's breath suddenly became unstable, and he reminded in a low voice: "There are people outside, there are people..."

Ever since he got in close contact with Aning, Ji Song knows the taste by heart.He is not an indulgent person, but when he sees Aning, he always wants to get closer to him.

The touch in the palm is as delicate as silk, Ji Song couldn't help touching it twice more.He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and whispered in Aning's ear: "What should I do, I really want to kiss you." Yan Xining said seriously: "Tonight, I will let you kiss enough."

There was the sound of horseshoes on the official road, and Yan Xining pushed Ji Song's body: "Someone is coming, get up quickly."

Ji Song straightened up, he touched little Aning, the hairs on Yan Xining's back stood up, and he almost fell down again.

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and soon stopped beside the carriage.The voice of the palace guards came: "Master, Wangfei, some Liaoxia people have come to the palace. The leader said he is Wangfei's friend."

Yan Xining looked confused, he threw the half-eaten pear to Ji Song and straightened his clothes: "Me? My friend from Liaoxia?"

Is there such a person among his friends?

Suddenly Yan Xining thought of someone, and he slapped his thigh suddenly: "Wu Zhu! How could I have forgotten him!"

But how did Wu Zhu come to Liangzhou?Yan Xining thought about it carefully and her face turned blue: "Oops, I forgot to reply to Wuzhu's letter."

Uju said that he would ask the pigeons to give him arithmetic problems on a regular basis, and hoped that he could reply in time.At that time, he promised well, but he didn't expect that not long after Wu Zhu left, he and Ji Song arrived in Liangzhou.

He didn't see any of Wuzhu's pigeons, and he forgot all about it when he arrived in Liangzhou.With Wu Zhu's persistent temperament, it is very possible that he will directly kill Chu Liao if he does not reply to the message.It happened that Liangzhou was close to Liaoxia, so Wu Zhu must have heard the news.

Yan Xining had a headache: "What should I do, if Wu Zhu asks me to do arithmetic problems, you have to stop me."

Ji Song gave him a helpless look: "Wu Zhu is a great Confucian scholar in Liaoxia, he came to Liangzhou, we have to treat him well."

Wu Zhu and his party were already waiting in the main hall. There were five of them in total, each of them was tightly wrapped, with only a pair of eyes exposed. At first glance, they looked like Persians who came to Pingchang City to do business.Seeing Yan Xining, Wu Zhu stepped forward quickly, and before Yan Xining could speak, he knelt down wearily: "Yan Xining, help me."

Yan Xining:? ? ?

what's the situation?

At this time, a short attendant came out from behind Wu Zhu, and the attendant slowly lifted the veil to reveal a beautiful face.This turned out to be a girl!The girl looked at Ji Song tearfully, then fell to her knees with a thud: "Brother Huang, help me!"

Ji Song:! ! !

After Ji Song was plotted against, the generals of Chiling Army went crazy.They crazily retaliated against the Liaoxia people, leaving no grass or grass anywhere they passed.In less than half a year, Liao Xia abruptly lost several generals.The Liaoxia people were discouraged, and as a last resort, they sent a negotiating mission to the capital city to negotiate a peace.

However, when the peace mission arrived at Changjiaguan, Mo Le, who led the team, was kidnapped by Ji Song's men.The rest of the leader is Liaoxia Prince Dunba, who proposed to marry Chu and Liao in exchange for peace between the two countries.In order to express his sincerity, and also for the stability of the two countries, Emperor Pingyuan sent the sixth princess, Ji Yin, to the sedan chair for peace talks.

Dunba is a lecherous person, after coming to Chu Liao, instead of restraining himself, he went around promiscuously, which annoyed Ye Linfeng.When Master Ye got angry, he directly made Dunba unable to be a man again.

On the way back, Dunba became more irritable every day.This time he failed in the negotiation, not to mention losing a great general, and was severely humiliated by the people of Chu and Liao.Facing Princess Yihe of Chu Liao, an evil fire was burning in his heart.On the way to Liaoxia, Ji Yin was tortured inhumanely and shed tears all day long.

I thought that in Liaoxia, Dunba would restrain himself a little.However, Dunba, who returned to the capital, was even more unscrupulous, and Ji Yin's life was worse than death.However, Ji Yin still survived strongly, because she had the hope of living in her heart.

The person who brought her hope was none other than Uju.

As a great Confucian of Liao and Xia, Wu Zhu lost the first battle, that's fine, he actually got in touch with Princess Rong of Chu and Liao.How does this make Dunba tolerate him?So on the way back, Uju was not less hit by Dunba.

Two people with the same fate met each other on the way to Liaoxia, and the dull Uju fell in love the first time he saw Ji Yin.Working with numbers all day long, he knew the beauty of love for the first time, and he and Ji Yin secretly fell in love under Dunba's nose.

The two of them originally wanted to escape halfway, but Dunba's guards were too strict to guard them, and they couldn't find a chance along the way.So they could only suppress their impatience and wait for the opportunity. In this way, the two of them arrived at the capital of Liaoxia.

Heerba, the leader of Liaoxia, is dying of health. Originally, the position of leader will be handed over to Dunba, but something happened to Dunba now, which gave hope to his two ambitious younger brothers.So the three of them started fighting among themselves, Wu Zhu took advantage of the situation where the three princes of Liao Xia were fighting to the death, and brought Ji Yin out.

Originally, Wu Zhu wanted to take Ji Yin to several surrounding countries, but no one in the surrounding small countries could protect them. If their whereabouts were discovered, they would only die.Chu Liao was Ji Yin's hometown, so he took Ji Yin and fled in the direction of Chu Liao without thinking.

Wu Zhu originally wanted to hide his name in Chuliao with Ji Yin, but he didn't expect to hear the names of Rong Wang and his wife as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou.Wu Zhu never dreamed that his relationship with Yan Xining could save his life at a critical moment.

Wuzhu was exhausted but still looked at Yan Xining with eyes full of expectation: "Yan Xining, I am from Liaoxia, but Ayin is from Chuliao. Please, please save her, she cannot be taken by Dunba. Go back. Dunba is not a human being, Ah Yin can only die if he goes back."

Ji Yin's face was full of tears: "Brother Huang, Xiaoliu knew that I left Liaoxia privately and caused troubles to the two countries. Xiaoliuwan's death is unavoidable. But Wu Zhu is innocent, he was bewitched by me. Brother Huang , please see that we are blood compatriots, save him."

When Ji Song left the harem, the sixth princess was still a baby, not to mention his feelings for Ji Yin, he didn't even know what Ji Yin looked like.But looking at the crying girl in front of him, the anger in Ji Song's heart became more and more intense.

When Ji Yin was sent to Liaoxia for marriage, Ji Song took the lead in objecting, but his objection was ineffective.After he came back, he talked about it with Aning, and the two felt uncomfortable for a long time.How can the peace of the two countries be tied to a weak woman?The people of Chu and Liao need a girl to sacrifice their life's happiness. How fragile is such happiness?

If Dunba was a safe and reliable person, it would be fine for Ji Yin to be with him even though it would be a bit more difficult.But he is a brutal barbarian, how can Ji Yin live a good life with her? !At that time, Ji Song had thought of Ji Yin's final outcome. This poor girl would eventually die in the land of Liaoxia.

Fortunately, she met her husband and escaped, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Ji Yin burst into tears: "Brother Huang, Sister-in-Law, Xiao Liu knows that he has committed a heinous crime. Xiao Liu doesn't ask you to forgive me. I just ask you to keep Wu Zhu. If he goes back, he will die."

Before she finished speaking, her arms were pulled up by a pair of powerful hands.Ji Song's eyes turned red: "Get up, my Chu and Liao royal family must stand upright at all times and never beg for mercy."

Ji Yin raised her teary eyes, and she heard her third elder brother say: "From now on, you will stay in the palace, as long as I, Ji Song, are alive, I won't let anyone bully you. "

The tears that Ji Yin had just suffocated could no longer hold back, she threw herself into Ji Song's arms with a wow and cried loudly: "Brother Huang, brother Huang—" The sufferings of the past few months turned into tears, hanging The heart that has been held for so long can finally come to fruition.
