Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 129
"The uncle is talking nonsense again. Rui Jewelry has become an aunt in the mansion, so how can she be used as a maid. If this is spread, people will not be laughed at! The wife of the Wang family also said that day, since she is an aunt, she should have a maid by her side. It is not only the dignity of the mansion, but also the dignity of the inner house."

"It's up to you." Brother Rong said with a light smile, "As for the matter in the inner house, whatever you say is what you say."

Qin Keqing said: "Not only does Rui Zhuzhu have to have maids to serve her, but Xiang Ling and Que'er also have two maids for them. After two years, when they move to a separate courtyard, they won't be without a caring person around them."

"It makes sense to have a maid by Xiangling's side first. At least there is still a relationship with Xue's family. Que'er doesn't need it. She will feel uncomfortable if she is given to a maid." Brother Rong stripped himself clean and turned it into the bucket. In the middle, the feeling of being soaked in hot water is really refreshing.

He also brought Grandma Rong in, and looked at the golden mountains flooded with water, and said with a smile: "There are so many little maids in this courtyard, one will be assigned to Xiangling's side, and let their master and servant move to the side room for a while. Que'er will stay in the room for now. In your room. If you go to other mansions in the future, or go to unimportant mansions, you don’t need to bring Rui Jewelry, but you have to keep Que’er by your side.”

Qin Keqing asked: "Why did the uncle let Ke'er take her with him?"

Brother Rong chuckled, turned his daughter-in-law around, and rubbed her back.Explained: "This girl has some background, but she has no bad intentions for our Ningguo Mansion. I don't know what rumors she heard, and she just wants to come to the mansion to be a concubine. You just think of her as a self-motivated person who wants to be a concubine. Your little maid will be fine."

Qin Keqing was tickled by Uncle Rong, and her slender waist swam in the water like a water snake, complaining: "Uncle has become more and more mysterious these days, and he doesn't tell me anything. Since Que'er has a background, he came from outside." Come in, I don’t know whether to believe it or not.”

"If it's another person, I really dare not say it. But Que'er is trustworthy, you can keep it by your side, and if you encounter an emergency, you can also protect you." Brother Rong looked at the small waist of the water snake, feeling itchy in his heart. Pull his daughter-in-law into his arms.

Qin Keqing said: "After hearing that I asked someone to make a few big buckets, each of which is bigger than the other, I know that the uncle has no good intentions. Don't make trouble, I will wash it first."

Jia Rong hugged her daughter-in-law, let her sit in her arms, and said with a smile, "I'll wash it later."

Qin Keqing was stunned for a moment, and gave the uncle a blank look.

The diffuse mist enveloped the surroundings of the two of them, like a dream.

Qin Keqing's hands gripping the wall of the barrel were also sore, and she complained: "The uncle knows how to use these tricks to tease his wife."

Rong Geer said: "Which makes you always ask so many curious questions."

Tired, Qin Keqing fell into Uncle Rong's arms, feeling the comfort brought by the hot water.He murmured: "My grandpa sits in the clean room all day long. What do you do there for one day every month? Also, I often heard that the king of Beijing Jing came to see the grandpa in the mansion, but he didn't see him every time. These strange things Son, even the maids in the mansion are curious, so I have to care about it."

Jia Rong's face changed subtly, and she said with a smile: "Now that the master is gone, there must be someone to honor him. As for Prince Jing, I don't know what the hell he is doing. Why are you suddenly curious about these things?"

Qin Keqing raised her head suddenly, with a trace of resentment on her white and tender face, she said: "Master always likes to bury things in his heart, and never tells his wife. Although my daughter-in-law doesn't have much wisdom, if my grandfather encounters difficulties, my daughter-in-law can somewhat share her worries." some."

Jia Rong suddenly picked Qin Keqing up from the water, put her on the bed, and said, "This is the difficulty of the uncle now."

Qin Keqing held it with her little hand, and said with a smile, "What is the difficulty?"

What a gentle and charming woman.Uncle Rong laughed and said, "The difficulty is that you haven't given birth to me yet!"

…………

"Que'er is no longer a child!" Little Que'er pouted, not waiting for the reward for a long time.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jia Rong took a small peck and said, "It's all right, take good care of your grandma. If anyone wants her to inquire about the situation of the grandpa in the mansion, write their name and send it to the ancestral hall." Go to the clean room."

Que'er hummed, and touched her little mouth, it really felt so special.It's so warm, and my body is a little numb, but the experience time is a bit short.

She blushed and said, "Que'er didn't have time to experience it just now. Oh...Don't hit me, don't hit me... From now on, Que'er will treat grandma like her own sister, so I will take care of you for you."

After Uncle Rong came out of the yard, Xiao Que'er let go of her hands holding her head, giggled and hummed a folk song from Ping'an Prefecture, and proudly walked into the room to wait for grandma to wake up.

In Shenjing today, it is rare to see the sun.

The yellow-orange light shone on the ground, and Rong Geer swaggered from the avenue of Shenjing City on a shiny black horse.On the opposite side were the ministers who had just returned from the court meeting, but he was walking slowly towards the Palace of Zhongshun.

For the officials who have just come to court, Brother Rong is considered to be retrograde, and people cast strange glances at him.

"Why did you come here so late?"

King Zhongshun had just come down from the court, and met this bastard halfway, so he questioned him.

Is it too late?The current time is only around seven o'clock in the morning in 24 hours.Brother Rong said: "Isn't this just waiting for the thirteenth master to come down?"

The Thirteenth Lord didn't know that this bastard was just trying to argue, and snorted: "If you can't get up in the morning, why don't you go back to Ningguo Mansion at night, and just sleep at the guards of the Wang Mansion, and follow the king to the court early in the morning."

"We have no qualifications for a court meeting."

"Then wait outside the palace." The Thirteenth Master said angrily, "How can you always have no rules."

Well, it seems that I will get up every night and early in the morning.I don't know who made the rules. The court will start at around [-] o'clock in the morning, and the sky is still dark.Now I have to get up early even if I am tired.

"Master Thirteen calm down, I want you to come here earlier." Jia Rong looked at Duan Yu next to Master Thirteen again, cupped her hands and said, "I've seen Shangguan Yu."

"Brother Rong rode the horse for so long yesterday, so he was exhausted. It's normal that he didn't get up early the next day." Duan Yu laughed.

Brother Rong looked at the wicked expression on this guy's face, thinking that he was peeped last night, how could he know that he was exhausted.It was only later that I remembered that I was talking about riding a horse, and said embarrassingly: "Usually in the mansion, I don't have the opportunity to ride a horse all the time, it's because I'm not used to it."

Duan Yu said: "I will get used to it in the future."

I hope so!With my frail body, it's good that I didn't fall apart after riding a horse for a whole day.Just as he was feeling emotional, he heard the Thirteenth Lord say: "I won't go back to my residence today, I'll go directly to Qinghe County."

Let's go, let's go, let's go bump outside the city.

Uncle Rong has already accepted his fate.

"Seeing this, Brother Rong, what do you want to say?"

"Ok?"

Looking at the endless fields in front of her, Jia Rong was confused and didn't know what King Zhongshun was asking.

King Zhongshun said: "In the past, when I visited the south with the Supreme Emperor, I saw the rice fields there. When I was young, I could harvest three or four stones per mu. However, in Gyeonggi, the harvest of wheat from dry fields was less than two stones per mu. If the ten thousand hectares of dry fields in Gyeonggi were changed to paddy fields, the world would Food never panics."

The corner of Rong's mouth twitched, Master Thirteen let it be nonsense here.

Jia Rongdao: "Gyeonggi's previous dynasties were dominated by dry fields, which were not only due to climate and soil quality, but more importantly, the farmers in Gyeonggi did not have experience in farming paddy fields. In the past, most of them mainly planted wheat, supplemented by other miscellaneous grains. Now they all change at once. If it becomes rice, I’m afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.”

"I have heard about the climate you mentioned, but what is the quality of the soil?"

How to explain this thing?Jia Rong was anxious. Farming is not just throwing seeds in the ground and leaving it alone.

I am not a high-achieving student at the Agricultural University, let alone a major in agriculture. Although I have gone to the fields with my parents when I was at home, I don't understand this.

"Boy, I just ask the thirteenth master to think carefully."

"Naturally, proceed with caution. Food is the foundation of a dynasty. For the time being, we will try it out on hundreds of hectares of Huangzhuang official farmland in Gyeonggi. If it is feasible, it will be extended to all provinces."

King Zhongshun said with a smile, he seemed to have seen the scene of a bumper harvest in the future, and he didn't chase Brother Rong to ask about the soil quality.On the contrary, he said proudly: "The soil in Jifu is fertile, the best in the world, the southeast is close to the sea, and the northwest is surrounded by mountains. It is nourished by flowing springs and tides, without the obstruction of Qin, Jin, Yan'a, and the agitation of Henan, Xu, Huang and Huai. Here, the so-called less effort but more success."

It may not be the best in the world, but the land near Shenjing can be fatter than Beiliao?
Brother Rong thought about it, but he didn't need to worry too much about the soil quality.The land in the north is always more fertile than most places in the south.

If it is planted properly, it is not impossible for one mu of rice to produce one or two hundred kilograms of rice.

The key is how many paddy fields can be planted!
Jia Rong was led by King Zhongshun to inspect this Huangzhuang. Many officials were already measuring the land again, just to prepare for the transformation of dry fields into paddy fields in the future.

The Thirteenth Master smiled and said: "You once said in the past that you don't understand other things, but you know how to divert water and how to build canals and dams. Here, you are responsible for the calculation of Huangzhuang. If the diversion of water is not good, the original The king will punish you for your crime."

What is this!

He also heard the Thirteenth Lord recall: "When I first came to your Ningguo Manor that year, I was really surprised. A small canal can irrigate a large field. If it wasn't for the reminder of the emperor that day, almost I just missed you, a guy who hides so much. After your verification in the Wangfu Manor, I believe that more than an hectare of Huangzhuang here can also be arranged by you."

What do you mean?
I am a guard, a second-class guard, a second-class guard with a dignified fourth-rank official position, not a small official of the Ministry of Industry with a fifth or sixth rank.He sighed again in his heart: It turns out that these guys have been making up their minds for a long time, maybe it is the ghost of King Zhongshun who called him back later.

It's just that he also understands in his heart that the fact that King Zhongshun values ​​him so much now is actually because both the emperor and King Zhongshun need him.The issue of changing dry fields to paddy fields naturally did not start in the past two years.

Only now that cement has appeared, which can build dams and canals more cheaply to divert water, it is immediately put on the agenda.

Therefore, Jia Rong did not refuse. The best choice at this time is to continue to show her importance and value that can be used.Let the royal family and the palace be willing to condone, or be willing to temporarily protect.

Food is the foundation of a country.

How could Xiande not be tempted by such a great achievement.

Jia Rong said: "Since the Thirteenth Master trusts the boy so much, the boy has no choice but to give it a try. I just want to ask how many people we have under our command for errands?"
