Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 130
Jia Rong didn't ask the answer she wanted to hear, and sighed a little in her heart, it seemed that she was working for nothing.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say." King Zhongshun reprimanded dissatisfiedly. "What are you talking about?"

Hesitating?

Shit, it almost made me want to crooked!Brother Rong had goose bumps all over his body.

"My boy knows that it is imperative to change dry fields into paddy fields, and the court has naturally considered this matter carefully, but I am still a little worried. Only [-]% of the paddy fields are planted in the Gyeonggi area, and the remaining [-]% are dry fields. The [-]% are scattered among tens of millions. What a huge number it will be if ten thousand peasant households are involved, who will teach these [-]% to farm?"

Zhongshun Wangdao: "You can think of this, it is considered intentional. A few years ago, there were a group of officials who studied paddy fields in the Royal Summer Resort, and they have made some achievements in the past few years. There are hundreds of hectares of imperial land. People are only in charge of dozens of hectares of land. After a while, there will be farmers from the south, so there should be no difference."

It's easy to say, one hectare is one hundred mu, tens of hectares is thousands of mu of land, and hundreds of mu is tens of thousands of mu.

This is not a small amount!

Brother Rong nodded. Fortunately, the thirteenth master and the emperor did not decide rashly. At least they set up a test field in the Royal Summer Resort.

Zhongshun Wangdao: "You don't have to worry about changing drought to water. As long as you help open rivers, build dams, build canals and divert water, you will have a share of the credit. The success of opening rivers in Gyeonggi will teach the provinces and regions as examples. In two years, the grain of our Great Yan Kingdom will at least double."

Jia Rong is no longer in a bad mood for King Zhongshun, looking at this vast land, he is also quite moved.

Gyeonggi is rich in water but poor in water.

Gyeonggi is rich in water because of the Shahe River, Qinghe River, Chaobai River, Yongding River, Tonghui River and many other rivers.

These rivers are all important transportation channels in the Gyeonggi area. Among them, the Qinghe River and the Shahe River are tributaries of the Tonghui River. Food from each province goes northward to the Tonghui River through the North Canal, and then enters Beijing from the Qinghe River.The Yongding River leads directly to Jinmen, and can go down the South Canal, or all the way to the east to the sea.

However, these rivers are the source of floods that are prone to flooding. The Qinghe River is narrow, and the surrounding fertile fields have been washed away all year round.The Yongding River diverted its course many times and broke its embankment, and even flooded the city of Shenjing several times. In addition, the hole of the Marco Polo Bridge is too small, and it rains for many days, and the surrounding area is even more damaged all year round.

Opening the river to control the water is also something that can't wait to do.

It is indeed a good thing if the river is opened to use the river water to irrigate the fertile fields in the Gyeonggi area.

Let's open the river!

It can be regarded as a good deed for the people of Gyeonggi when I came to this world.

Brother Rong smiled wryly, and said to Thirteenth Master: "Since this place has been handed over to the boy, Thirteenth Master has to send manpower to the boy. In addition to measuring the land, he also needs to inspect the hydraulic power of the upper and lower reaches of the river. When changing fields and building canals, it is necessary to prevent the threat of continuous heavy rain that causes the river to rise to the surrounding fields, and at the same time, how to ensure that all fields can be irrigated when the water level drops.”

It's rare for this bastard to take the initiative to do something, and Thirteenth Master is naturally delighted.

Jia Rong chatted with King Zhongshun. Although he didn't ask for manpower directly, he agreed to send a team of officials from the water conservancy camp to let him dispatch.

"Yu Shangguan, I need to take care of you in the future." Brother Rong cupped his hands at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu raised his eyebrows, and said in a muffled voice: "I thought it would be beneficial to know you, but I was sent to a place to be your companion. Sigh...my first-class guard is not like a guard anymore."

Jia Rong's face was very happy, Duan Yu is a master. "Brother Yu, don't worry, someday I will invite you to Wanhualou for a drink."

Duan Yu shook Brother Rong's hand on his shoulder, and said, "We're serious people, we won't go to the place where we wait for the fireworks."

"That's it!"

"If you can date that girl Xianmei, I can go with you." Duan Yu said arrogantly, then looked at the change in Brother Rong's eyes, and explained: "Don't look at me like that, I'm serious People. It’s just that I often hear the boys outside talking about the girl Xianmei from Wanhualou, and we work in Shisanye’s office, so I’m curious about what it’s like.”

"Save it, save it."

Brother Rong nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "If you really want to see her, maybe one day she will actually come to your door."

"What do you mean?"

Brother Rong smiled mysteriously, and stopped talking, making Duan Yu's heart itch, who was eager to know the inside story.

A few days later, it was already February, as the so-called spring returns to the earth, peaches, plums and apricots are blooming.

"You are leisurely, do you still have time to enjoy the flowers here?"

Brother Rong was sitting and resting beside a wild peach tree, but someone caught him and caught him. When he looked back, he didn't expect that it was the Crown Prince who came down.

"How did the third master come here?"

"I came here specially to accompany you."

Jia Rong looked behind the little third master, the good guy came out of the palace in casual clothes and brought a large group of people behind him.He smiled and said, "Young San Ye is here to enjoy the spring, isn't this the yamen of the Water Conservancy Camp Farm, what are you doing here to accompany me?"

A few days ago, Jia Rong had seen the third master twice, but they were all in the water conservancy farm.Now Jia Rong is already working as a handyman in Huangzhuang, running in the fields every day, but she has no time to chat with him.

The third master smiled and said, "I haven't finished talking about Brother Rong that day."

Jia Rong's heart moved, this guy finally took the bait, and he didn't waste so much effort.He laughed and said: "It's just some novelty, and there are also a few Francine people in the palace. They must know a lot more about the West than I do."

The third master snorted and said, "They are all Western monks, how could they understand such fun."

Brother Rong said: "Young Master, don't underestimate them. There are several cannons on the gates of Shenjing that belong to Franji. Not to mention those novelties such as automatic music clocks and watches, they are also Western monks. brought."

"They're all stubborn, they're not worth mentioning." The young third master was obviously a bumpkin, but no one looked down on him, and asked, "If the iron box can run by itself, can I take me around the world?"

After hearing this, Jia Rong raised her eyebrows, well, one layout failed.

Such a prodigal son only wants to travel around the world, a waste material, even more waste than this uncle.

Brother Rong suddenly lost interest and didn't want to chat with him anymore. "The little third master has given way, and Shangguan Yu is here, so we can't let him see that we're slacking off."

"Er..." The young third master looked at Brother Rong's back, thoughtfully, and then sighed slightly.Why can't I find the knack of interacting with these princes' children?Avoid them all!well……

In fact, the little third master is not interested in those things, but just wants to get closer to these princes' children, even if it can only maintain a faint friendship.

I couldn't find a way to do it all the time, and I didn't dare to make it too obvious, so I just walked around and asked there.

"Why is His Royal Highness chasing here today?" Duan Yu looked curiously at the figure not far away, and warned softly: "The last two years, His Royal Highness has been a little strange, so don't get too close to him. "

Brother Rong laughed and said, "Forget it, His Royal Highness is fifteen or sixteen years old. It's normal to be rebellious in adolescence."

Duan Yu didn't understand what adolescent rebellion was, and said, "Don't get too close to him, because in just a few dozen days this year, His Royal Highness has always come to visit the Thirteenth Lord, this time more than the total number of previous years. There are many of them. Not only that, but the other princely mansions also move around frequently."

Brother Rong was taken aback for a moment, the third master is really a guy who is not afraid of death.So blatantly, what good can he get?
Duan Yu said: "The Supreme Emperor is not in good health recently, His Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that there is some fear in his heart, and he will be in a hurry."

No wonder!

Brother Rong chuckled, "We don't want to talk about this, we just need to take good care of the fields in Huangzhuang."

Duan Yu said in a muffled voice: "Come on, I didn't see what you really did, it was ordered by others. The Thirteenth Master called you back home."

"Go back home? Are you off work now? Oh...Master Thirteen, you are such a good man!"

Duan Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, and said: "What are you thinking, go back to the palace! Today is the second day of February, and there are other happy events in the palace, your wife is also invited, so come with me. "

Jia Rong looked suspiciously at the crown prince who had come back disappointed, and asked, "Is there a happy event in the palace? Why didn't His Royal Highness be invited?"

"Brother Rong, don't ask about this matter. In previous years, unless it was a big deal in the palace, the other kings would have their own affairs. Let's discuss with someone in the past first, and wait until they go to the mansion. It’s good to be a foil.”

As a foil?Isn't it just as a humanoid decoration?

Brother Rong lacked interest, thinking that it seemed that King Zhongshun had offended too many people on weekdays, and there were not even a few people who got close to him.That's why he always pulls himself over, sitting there foolishly as an ornament.

Jia Rong followed Duan Yu on horseback and returned to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion. After entering the mansion, Duan Yu asked Brother Rong to change his clothes.

A little father-in-law said: "My lord and wife came here early in the morning, and now I am chatting with the concubine. You should hurry up, my lord Rong. Today I will let you go to the backyard to pay my respects."

"It's not good!"

Jia Rong understands the rules of this world. For example, the hostess entertains male guests, and the hostess entertains female guests.You can avoid suspicion between men and women!When I came to pay New Year's greetings in the third year of junior high school, Brother Rong was not able to go to the backyard. On that day, the concubine and empress were greeted through the curtain.

Moreover, besides the concubine, there are many other concubines of King Zhongshun in the backyard of the palace.

The little father-in-law laughed and said: "Your Majesty has said that the Countess and his wife are the mother's goddaughter, and Lord Rong can be considered as the half-son-in-law of the mansion. Today is a family reunion in the Wang Mansion, and it is appropriate to go to the backyard of the Wang Mansion."

Jia Rong tilted her head, unable to figure it out.If it is said that King Zhongshun is good to him, it may be because he has seen some points in himself that can be used, or that he is useful to King Zhongshun, which barely makes sense.

But how to explain Princess Zhongshun's attitude?Could it be that King Zhongshun ordered it?

This is not necessary!
Brother Rong thought for a while but didn't understand, so he followed the little eunuch to the backyard of the palace.

only half way...
