Gospel of Lazy Cancer

After this battle, Yao Chen was totally useless.

Tired, weak, tired, sleepy, lethargic, lethargic...

He stroked the tattoo on his left collarbone, the number 2317, the number of Yao's army who died in the battle of Juyongguan Waixuanfu.

Old man, big beauty, bastard brothers, do you see that?When I hit Langju Cave, I was already worthy of the ancestors of the Yao family.

Please let me lie down for a while...

oh oh oh.

The rewards from the imperial court came one after another. The major general removed the adverb in front of the general soldier, the officers and men under his command were promoted to rank, and the soldiers and civilian husbands also received a lot of money.

Aside from the rewards on the surface, just the war wealth made the soldiers who went out this time rich overnight. right?

Taking advantage of the opportunity to congratulate the major general on his promotion to the chief of the army, everyone offered gifts and walked around, hoping to get the news as soon as possible. Obviously, the sooner you join, the better it is. I'm afraid that if you are late, it will be cheaper for others.

Yao Chen told them that this matter is up to the court to decide, and it is estimated that it will be approved. It is only a matter of time, and I don't know when it will come down.But they believed that the Liaodong General Soldier had a great say in the selection of thousands of households, so they persevered and tried hard to knock on the door of the major general with a treasure of beauty. There are not only men and women, but also different styles, such as the enchanting Persian dancer, the shepherdess who is as pure as a lamb, the Kongwu powerful grassland man, the cute boy Zhengtai, and even the cold and handsome Mongolian girl. A captive of nobles, it is said that taming will bring extra pleasure.

Yao Chen: I used to think you were poor, but it seems that you are not revealing your wealth...

Yao Chen was so annoyed that he closed the door to thank the guests, taking advantage of this time to finish the vacation accumulated over the years.

Don't be too cool.

Along with the generous rewards, there are also some personal gifts from the emperor’s little wolf dog, which contain novel Western gadgets, such as telescopes, music boxes and Western pastries—it is said that the practice of Fanbang bread has been spread in the capital, quite popular.

Yao Chen has now figured out his character, and when he thinks something is good, he will enthusiastically share it with his lover.

Emperor: Eat my Amway.

Yao Chen: Eat, eat, eat.

Among them are some seeds that Yao Chen specifically ordered to find. Most of the seeds are sent directly to Zhuangzi or the south for breeding, and a few are sent to test whether the crops are cold-resistant.

Yao Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that there were several sprouted sweet potatoes inside. Several strong stems grew out of the fat red body, and the strongest one inside already had two tender green leaves, which looked very cute. .Probably the emperor found it novel that it could survive without water, soil or fertilizer, so he sent it over for him to play with.

Sweet potatoes like temperature, so it is not suitable for planting in places with too high latitude and too cold weather.However, at this time, the last cold spring has passed, the temperature is gradually warming up, and the number of sweet potatoes is not much, so they can be carefully served, hoping to survive.

Yao Chen planned to cultivate the sweet potato vines first, and then transplant them into large and deep urns for easy management.He cut the ungerminated sweet potatoes into several pieces, inserted 4-5 sticks equidistantly on the outside, with the cuts of the sweet potatoes facing down, half of them immersed in water, waiting for germination.

As for the buds that had grown, he carefully pulled them off with his hands. These buds had no roots yet, only small leaves.He planted these sprouts in loose soil, because sweet potatoes are tubers, they grow in soil, and for them to grow well, you have to till the ground deeply, loosen the soil, and then put it in a sunny place.He basked in the sun during the day, and ordered people to carry the urn into the house for fear of freezing at night.

After half a month to one month, the sweet potato cubes that were placed in the water before basically grew tender shoots with leaves, and the germination rate was not bad, so they were treated in the same way, and Yao Chen personally watered them every day.

During the vacation, this was the only serious thing Yao Chen did.Laughing] [laughing.

In the southern waters, boats carrying people of various skin colors and languages ​​of different countries are sailing on the calm sea. These boats are of different styles and sizes, but they have one thing in common, flying the flag of the Zheng family.

The imperial court issued an order: "Any ship that does not have the official documents of the Municipal Shipping Department and the Zheng's Order Flag cannot come and go." For example, the income is three thousand gold, and the annual income is tens of millions.

If a foreign ship that came for the first time had no flag, it would be chased and intercepted by Zheng's navy when it entered the sea area. Even if it was regarded as a pirate, the court would not care.When people go to sea, they must go through multiple inspections, and they must have flags and official documents, and go to sea from the port specified in the official documents. The management is very strict. Although the procedure is a bit complicated, it is a necessary measure.

Even so, there are countless merchants who build ships and apply to go to sea.In just one year, the imperial navy has doubled in size, and there are hundreds of new docks in the south of the Yangtze River, and their number and scale are still expanding.

Limited by the size of the port and the management capabilities of officials, the imperial court still set a daily entry and exit time and quota. In order to compete for a flag of the Zheng family, merchants poured money into it frantically. The amount made those who heard it tremble with fear.

There are a lot of people who gain at sea. In the near half a year, and in the distant few years, the profit is one hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands. It can't be spent in a few lifetimes, but the risk at sea is also great. Ships are destroyed and people die and never return. Also, whether it is natural causes or war pirates, nothing can stop the merchants.The tyrants in the north have obvious disadvantages compared with the south, and they are also secretly working hard, hoping to get through the northern sea trade channel.

Some officials sighed: "The way to protect the country is to hide wealth from the people. If the people are rich, they will be close, and if the people are poor, they will leave. The wealth of the people depends on the survival of the country."

For this kind of remarks, some nodded their heads, and some disagreed, thinking that this would shake the foundation of the country, and those who became rich were rich and powerful, but these voices of opposition could not stop the ambition of the emperor and the court to fill the treasury.The scale of maritime trade expanded rapidly. Following Guangzhou in Guangdong, the imperial court re-established shipping departments in Quanzhou, Fujian and Mingzhou, Zhejiang.

In early autumn, various villages in the capital ushered in a bumper harvest of corn, and the yield per mu was basically between five and six shi. Although the price of corn seeds is now on a downward trend, which is not as high as in previous years, it is still very profitable.The seeds planted by the Yao family last year were basically sold to the imperial court at a very favorable price except for their own keeping, and the imperial court distributed them to various regions for trial planting.

The emperor's little wolf dog said proudly: "It's all thanks to the major general."

This year, only part of the corn was planted in the Yao family’s land, and some other crops from Fanbang were planted, mainly peanuts and potatoes. Now the Yao family’s village has attracted the attention of everyone, and they have been secretly inquiring. There is no fruit hanging, compared to the thriving and lush corn fields of my own family, I feel that the Yao family has failed this time, and secretly joked.

After Yao's family succeeded in planting corn, each family was jealous and envious of Yao's Zhuangzi, and kept an eye on his family's activities both openly and secretly.

"As the old saying goes, don't be the first, don't be ashamed to be the last. Although our family has only planted corn, it must be profitable this year. The Yao family is pitiful. So many lands have been abandoned, and I am afraid they will lose money."

"The major general is good at military affairs, after all, he lacks experience in running a business."

"The things from Fanbang may not all be good. How can there be so many high-yield crops? I hope the major general will gain wisdom from the fall, and be more cautious next time. It is better not to take risks."

Amidst the cynicism, the Yao family quietly finished harvesting the produce in the field.

"What? There are two new food crops? One yields five stones per mu, and the other exceeds seven stones?!"

My face hurts.

On this day, the emperor and his ministers were discussing matters in the Qianqing Palace. The affairs were almost discussed, but several important ministers still dawdled and did not leave, and said some things that were not important but were worth mentioning.Suddenly, the western clock rang, and it was time for dinner, and everyone who had been sluggish was refreshed.

Well, we bumped into each other, let's eat together.

The emperor ordered the meal to be served, and several more fresh meals were served in the Qianqing Palace than usual.

There are soups, vegetables, and fried fruits. One of them is stewed meat. In the pot that is cooked with the meat, there are yellow tuber-shaped foods rolling with the boiling soup, emitting a very attractive aroma.

Zhang Shoufu couldn't recognize what it was, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

"This is a new high-yield grain. Fanbang's name seems to be potato. Some of us call it potato or yam, because it looks a bit like taro, but it was brought by foreigners."

Zhang Shoufu secretly thought that sure enough, he had heard his old wife talking about it before. "I don't know what the taste of the seven or eight stones of grain per mu is..." He had to taste it carefully and tell her carefully when he went back.

Before he could speak, another important official said first: "The minister is lucky today, and he can have a good meal." It seemed that he was afraid that the emperor would not keep food if it was too late.

The stewed beef with potatoes, red in color and sauce, is very delicious. The beef tendon is selected for meat quality, and it has been stewed for a long time with sauce. Hot and powdery, the soup spreads when bitten down, and the mouth is full of meaty fragrance, which complements the beef.

In addition, there are fried potato chips and potato omelets. It can be seen from the back that there are quite a lot of ministers staying for dinner. The imperial dining room has added refreshing potato shreds, potato balls and other dishes.

"This stuff really feeds the hunger. I heard that when it sprouts, it is highly poisonous and cannot be eaten." Zhang Shoufu cared about the common people, burped, and commented professionally.

"Not bad."

"It's delicious."

Since then, the emperor always felt that there were too many ministers who had nothing to do and came to the Qing Palace to discuss matters, and he especially liked to ask to see him during meals.

"Oh, my last colleague took too long, I was squeezed until the next morning. My eyes are a bit dark..." It's a pity, who can eat potatoes early in the morning, should I call sick?

"How about I trade it with you? It is said that there are peanut and sesame crisps in the morning."

"What are peanuts?"

"You don't even know this? It's just..."

"After listening to your explanation, I think I can hold on a little longer."

"..."

"Huh? Why did he go back with a bag of things?" A sharp-eyed minister noticed that a servant followed an official out, helping to carry a bag of things, which looked quite heavy.

"Look at that bag, is there a Yao character written on it? It looks like the food donated by the Yao family."

The well-informed official said: "I heard that he is going to be sent to the northwest. Did the sage send him a bag of grain seeds? I have to tell him a few words, don't finish eating tonight." One or two.

"Wait, I'll go see him off too."

Zhang Shoufu: This court can't be better.

Now the climate continues to deteriorate, and there is no sign of improvement at all. After the imperial court defeated the Tartar Sea and made profits, there are still some shadows.

Feeding the people without famine is the primary responsibility of all officials in all dynasties.

After all, during disasters, no amount of gold and silver can buy food, and food is not enough for everyone, so a war breaks out, and killing more than half of them may be enough.

In ancient times, the population dropped sharply several times, except for the reasons of foreign invasion, court corruption or war, many of them were related to climate.

At this time, high-yield crops such as corn, peanuts, and potatoes were introduced to the Central Plains, which could just alleviate the disaster and feed as many people as possible. (So ​​cherish every grain now.)

After some discussion, the imperial court decided to focus on promoting potatoes in the north, because they are high-yield and very cold-resistant. All kinds of food can be grown in the south. Pay attention to planning the farming time, and you can plant two seasons.

At the same time, many people secretly complained about the level of the major general's naming, which is obviously a godsend, but it is full of local flavor. (Yao Chen: Or is it called Temadou?) Unfortunately, the name of potatoes has already spread. The food lives up to the name, grows in the soil, and is shaped like beans. It is accepted by the people. Even if the court wants to change it, it is too late.

I don't know how much a potato costs, and how many I can buy with my salary... I'm afraid the Yao family will make a lot of money again... By the way, last time the emperor rewarded corn seeds, I don't know this time...

Everyone turned their expectant eyes to the emperor.

Emperor: Hmph, come to pick up my wool again.

Huangzhuang also planted potatoes this year. Although it is not as bold as the Yao family to plant new crops in a large area, there are still more than ten hectares. The emperor gave holiday allowances to the court officials large and small during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and blocked the mouths of court officials with potatoes. , and then proposed to make a northern tour, and wanted to make this a routine.

In addition to safety and cost concerns, the emperor's tour is actually beneficial. It is beneficial to the stability of the foreign tribes and is of great significance to the consolidation of the northern frontier defense.

The emperor has personally conscripted, and it seems that the northern tour is not a big deal. This time there are guards to protect, and it is not going to the battlefield. What can go wrong?

The court officials looked at each other and acquiesced.

Queen Mother: Just let him go!

Morality is not lost all at once, the bottom line is always retreated step by step without falling.

Having experienced the torment of the emperor running to Tatar for a walk and being cut off several times, the nerves of the court officials are already very strong.

The matter of picking up the driver is once acquainted and secondly familiar. Yao Chen received the little wolf dog emperor who flew over at the port.

The emperor didn't care about the conditions of board and lodging, and Yao Chen arranged for him to stay in his other courtyard. Although it was not very luxurious, it was very comfortable to live in. In fact, as long as there were generals around, he felt that any place was a paradise.

The arrival of the emperor caused Yao Chen to stop his vacation plan. He practiced marksmanship in the morning, took charge of guarding the security personally, and took care of various matters every day without daring to relax.

The emperor felt that it was very useful, and everything the general did for him, whether it was hitting the holy mountain in Mongolia or peeling an orange, would make him feel extremely sweet.He wakes up no later than the general every day, or even earlier if it is early, and sometimes fights with the general, or simply sits aside, watching him sweating, his cheeks turning red, and panting slightly. Because of the sweat, it will stick tightly to his body, revealing beautiful lines, and the fabric will become transparent, arousing people's imagination, and the broken hair on his temples will be wet with sweat and stick to his face, as if he had just done some kind of exercise. Every time he looked at it, the emperor felt a tightness in his lower abdomen.

One day, on a whim, the emperor got a qin from somewhere and played it while Yao Chen was practicing guns.Sometimes it's like rain, sometimes it's like whispers.The priorities, the rhythm just matched the rhythm of Yao Chen dancing the spear, and the coordination was tacit, as if they were one.

Yao Chen watched the emperor's slender fingers fluttering on the qin, and a melodious sound flowed from his fingers.

Versatile, the emperor is not easy ah!

Yao Chen couldn't help holding these hands, interlocking his fingers.

During the emperor's northern tour, Yao Chen took him out to sea.

"This is?" The emperor recognized it. Isn't this the island they negotiated with the pirates to save that little bastard in Bailixi?

The island was previously occupied by pirates. Because it is too small and has few resources, it has not attracted much attention and has not yet been officially assigned to the imperial court.

"It stands to reason that this is still the territory of pirates, and the custom of marriage between men has not been abolished."

emperor:! !

The surprise came so suddenly that he was a little dazed.

The emperor felt that the light suddenly surrounded him. For a moment, the dazzling sunlight on the sea made him unable to see clearly. The world became so big, and he was just a small boat on the vast ocean. The ecstasy and shock were like long waves. He rushed head-on, he lost the ability to speak and move, and even forgot to adjust his expression.

He held the general's hand tightly, his heart was beating rapidly, his breathing was rapid, and a ball of fire was surging up in his heart. He looked into the general's eyes, and ran to chase the emotion in his eyes, as if confirming the other's mind.

He knew that he had been proposed and he had to say yes.

Little wolf dog: Oh, do you want to be reserved?

Little Milk Dog: I promise, I promise!

Little Wolf Dog: This kind of marriage proposal is too informal...

Little Milk Dog: I promise, I promise!

Little wolf dog: Have I hesitated for too long, what should I say now, so that I can appear friendly and polite?

Little Milk Dog: I promise, I promise, QAQ

In fact, the expression of the little wolf dog of the emperor has already explained everything.

The general ordered someone to bring up two sets of wedding clothes, both of which were men's styles. The red brocade gown with black border and gold embroidery was embroidered with elegant and beautiful hollow patterns full of beautiful meanings. Compelling, beautiful and gorgeous.

"Would you like to put on an auspicious costume for me?"
