Chapter 136 Ignore
Shen Shuren slapped and reprimanded Chen Yuanyuan, and his heart was also hot.

He was in a hurry, and he had been traveling for four months. He had nothing to eat and clothes every day, and there was no woman around him to serve him.

After holding it in for so long, my instinct is like a volcanic surge, ready to be ignited at any moment.

Agitated, he inevitably squeezed a little harder, causing Chen Yuanyuan to cry out in pain.Only then did he realize it, and reprimanded with the last trace of reason:
"What about Junjunren? He didn't show up when he was supposed to show up. He owed her for several months, and if he dragged on, it would be a huge debt! You're doing good, you're helping her out, and you're hiding her!"

Chen Yuanyuan's winking eyes were like silk, she lowered her voice to the lowest, and said with a coquettish smile: "Master, really, if you say that you don't care about the fragrance and jade, you are very responsible. I know Xiaoyi'er hurts people.

In the past few months, Junjun has secretly asked me a lot about my private affairs. She was afraid, so she agreed with me to hide first.After a while, when you are less angry, she will appear naturally. "

"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Shuren couldn't help it anymore. He originally thought that he owed Li Xiangjun so much, and he had been recharging his energy for a long time, so he had to deal with her first.Being disturbed by Chen Yuanyuan like this, he couldn't care less.

"Did you forget? Last Mid-Autumn Festival, you also agreed to go for two months, but we had to wait for more than half a year to get together! The slave family knew that Xiao Wan had a hard time, so she let her go first, but you didn't finish it, which made her hurt." It’s been a few days. Today I have to vent my anger first, so I have to suffer a little bit first.”

Shen Shuren became more and more angry when he was provoked by the words, and angrily scolded: "You are called to act for your own interests! You are called to act for your own interests!"

"How can there be false public affairs for personal gain, and the servant's family is not for the harmony of the family."

Chen Yuanyuan's tenderness and consideration at the end also warmed Shen Shuren's heart.

Shen Shuren turned around and hugged him, hugged him domineeringly, sniffed Li Xiangjun's earlobe, and whispered: "I made you wait for four months, are you wronged, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid of the slave family. In the eyes of outsiders, the slave family was already a son four months ago. Since the fame and festivals have been destroyed, of course there must be a real name, otherwise it will be even worse."

"Of course, this makes you famous!"

……

Refreshed, he moved from the small courtyard where he fished by the lake all the way back to Miss Yuan's embroidery room in the manor.

In the early morning of the next day, when I woke up by the refreshing lake breeze, the first thing I saw were two pretty faces that still had an expression of nostalgia and infatuation, pink, teary, and greasy.

The corners of the eyes and brows were filled with a contented relief.

When Li Xiangjun opened his eyes, he couldn't help dodging shyly. When he got involved in the pain, he let out a coquettish cry and frowned slightly.

"Don't move, just lie down for a while when it hurts," Shen Shuren embraced the woman with compassion and domineering, and pressed the two girls back into his arms without any difference, and said very responsibly,
"Regardless of whether there was any other purpose when I redeemed you, now that you are my woman, I will cherish you for the rest of my life. I am an indomitable person, and the women I have favored will never be neglected and alienated at will. They must start well and end well."

Li Xiangjun circled his neck with scorching eyes, firm eyes:

"Sir, don't say that. Even if you were used by you at the beginning, the servants are willing. You are doing great things to save the country and the people. You are a first-class man in the world. Even if you are a hero among women in the world, you want to be used by you and do something for you. Big things, you can’t ask for it.”

"You will flatter me." After all, Shen Shuren is an ambitious person, and when a woman says that, even if he knows that the gold content is doubtful, he still can't help being happy.

"Forget it, stay with you for a few days, and I won't worry about government affairs recently! I have fought for the court for four months, and I shouldn't have a bathing leave!"

……

Shen Shuren rested for more than half a month at a stretch, singing and singing every night, living the life of a fairy couple.

"Shengge every night" is not an adjective, but the real thing.

Chen Yuanyuan was originally the No. 1 actor of Kunqu Opera, and Li Xiangjun was the No. 1 actor of Southern Opera.

The world's top player in the two major genres of folk art, he is the only one serving him, and he is also accompanied by various musical instruments, so he can listen to whatever he wants.Anyway, the second daughter is also versatile in musical instruments, and each of them can practice at least seven or eight kinds.

This kind of treatment, just don't do those nasty things, just hug each other on the left and right, quietly playing the piano and listening to music, it can be said that it is rare in the sky, and it is hard to find in the world.

Even if Shen Shuren travels back to the 21st century, it will be difficult to find such cultural and entertainment enjoyment, which can be regarded as completely conquering him.He also admitted for the first time that even if he returned to the Ming Dynasty, he would not only be able to fight and fight, but also enjoy life.

Of course, Shen Shuren is not a licentious person, the reason why he took a short break for more than half a month is because there is really no government affairs worth his busying recently.

The weather in the south is relatively warm, and the autumn harvest comes earlier.Beginning in late August, it is generally busy with farming.

If Shen Shuren wanted to engage in other military, industrial and commercial constructions, or water conservancy improvement, or any other projects, or train recruits, he had to avoid the autumn harvest season.

And because of the war, many fields were still planted by people when they were plowing in the spring, and many of them were ruined by the autumn harvest.In addition to those who were beaten to death by the war, there were also many who starved to death without being overwhelmed.

In these unowned lands, or the fields where the strong labor force lost too much, Shen Shuren had to organize the guard army to make guest appearances, help the people harvest, and collect a little grain as a service fee to support the soldiers.

Therefore, during the half-month vacation, he didn't do nothing during the day, he just chose some light errands, which were similar to public travel.

I took a horse-drawn carriage and walked around Wuchang Mansion, looking at the mountains and rivers, camping and outings, surveying the environment, and persuading farmers by the way.

It's just that in Huangzhou in the past, he persuaded farmers to ride horses, but this time he brought his female relatives with him, so he changed to a horse-drawn carriage.

Coming from a poor mountainous base area to a metropolis like Wuchang, it really is a little exaggerated in life style.Shen Shuren can at least be better than Liu Bangdingli, and better than Li Zicheng.

At the same time as the autumn harvest here in Wuchang Mansion, of course Huangzhou across the river also had an autumn harvest.This year, Shen Shuren has promoted these high-yield crops as much as possible in the whole area of ​​Huangzhou, on the fields suitable for growing potatoes and corn.

The promotion area of ​​potatoes is almost double that of corn - potatoes can be planted twice a year, and in the summer season, Suizhou government also promotes it, because Suizhou has been sunken in May. recovery.

These crops have a seed-to-income ratio ranging from a dozen times to as many as twenty to thirty times.

So even if Huangzhou is a mountainous state capital with few fields, all the corn in Huangzhou is harvested as seeds, at least enough suitable land for seven or eight plain state capitals in the coming year to plant corn.

And there is no need to worry about the breeding tubers of potatoes. After one more round, they can be planted in both provinces.Shen Shuren can not only keep enough seeds, but also organize merchant fleets to sell in Sichuan and Jiangxi——

Although Sichuan and Jiangxi are not places under the jurisdiction of Shen Shuren, the farming results in those places cannot immediately benefit Shen Shuren.But after all, they are all Han provinces. If we promote the cultivation of high-yield grain, the people who survive will be the people of Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to calculate it so clearly.

Since the seeds were sufficient, the Shen family fleet was not idle. Since late August, waves have been crossing the river from Huangzhou to transport corn cobs to Wuchang and Hanyang.

The first priority is to supply those tenant farmers who planted government-run unclaimed land and the military camps of the guards, and then promote it to private gentry organizations.It is impossible for Shen Shuren to have the manpower and management ability to personally promote new crops in each village, so he must subcontract to the main gentry, and the government only plays a supervisory role to ensure that they distribute the seeds.

And those who took the government seeds will definitely have to pay an extra [-]% of the harvest tax next year.

This is also very reasonable, after all, the seed loan for ordinary crops is limited to [-]% of the harvest.What Shen Shuren promotes are all new varieties, and double the income of [-]% as seed loans is already a benevolent government.

It's just that Shen Shuren is a bit stronger, he has military force at hand, he also has a powerful business force, he also has the support of the old man and the governor, and he has a reputation for military exploits.So he can even be a little more domineering than Wang Anshi's implementation of the "Young Crop Law" back then——

Those who are not far-sighted enough, have little knowledge and are unwilling to try to grow new crops, it is best to obediently borrow Shen Daotai's seed loan!

Unless there are really reasonable reasons, such as the land type is not suitable for the growth of corn and potatoes, then the exemption can only be granted after the government sends someone to review the geography.

Shen Shuren also knew that such a measure of using policies to suppress local gentry's borrowing would definitely be out of order, and it would also be the same as Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law back then, "distributing loans to those who don't need loans and collecting interest".

Shen Shuren can only strengthen inspections, reduce them as much as possible, and establish a supervision system.But it is absolutely impossible to avoid it completely.

In such troubled times, he can only do things in a hurry, and occasionally there will be some harm. Compared with the huge profits that can be obtained by promoting, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It is precisely because of this that in the past ten days, he seems to have gone for outings in Wuchang and Hanyang, but he is actually asking the people around him to draw detailed maps and record the advantages and disadvantages of the fields in each township and village.

Compare with the official fish scale books and other books that have long been out of date, and supplement the newly collected information.

When the time comes for the seed loan, if the area of ​​land suitable for planting reported by which county or township is quite different from the approximate data collected by Shen Shuren's unannounced visits in advance, he has to pay attention to it, which shows that the officials in charge of this area are relatively greedy. It is possible to take advantage of the power at hand and increase the apportionment loan.

Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun also traveled with him for more than ten days. At first they felt a little guilty, thinking that they had caused the young master to become depraved. Take such a luxurious incense carriage.

After a long time, the second daughter also recalled that the young master was really treacherous, and this was another way for the company to kill two birds with one stone.

The reason why he pretended to be so depraved was not to lure those subordinate officials who will be responsible for apportioning the seed loan in the future to relax their vigilance first, not noticing that Master Daotai had already made a careful unannounced visit.

In the evening, when one sang Kunqu opera and the other sang Nanqu opera, it was inevitable that there would be some mournful voices. When occasionally persuading Shen Shuren to drink, the two daughters did not forget to act like a baby: "Young master is so calculating, take us out for a tour of the mountains and rivers, Don’t forget to take the opportunity to count people.”

"No way, you think too much, your duty is to have fun, women are too sober to be unhappy."
