Lonely non-good minister

When I brought Wei Yan to the place where Anzhou was, the tools and wood chips all over the yard hadn't been cleaned up yet. When I entered the house, I could see a machine with the size of a door frame in the house at a glance.

"This is it?" Song Yuan looked around: "It's so big, it looks so complicated."

An Zhoushi was very satisfied with his masterpiece, but still humbled himself: "Let's try it first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the weaver sat down, his hands and feet coordinated, and the speed was extremely fast. Song Yuan looked at it, but she didn't feel much. She had never seen a weaving machine before, so she really didn't know how good such a speed was.

"Other looms can get half a foot of silk a day, but this one can get two feet a day." An Zhoushi said very directly: "What do you think, my lord?"

Only then did Song Yuan understand: "That's really a good thing, then arrange to exchange seeds with merchants as soon as possible, Wei Yan, these days you bring a few people to accompany Mr. An, remember, all seeds must be carefully inspected, don't let people It's a dirty trick."

"Yes."

She had other things to do, so she left Wei Yan and went back alone. When she arrived at the gate of the county yamen, she saw two women, one old and one young, with three children kneeling at the gate of the yamen, weeping bitterly. As soon as he started, the old and the young immediately protected the child, and the cry of the child became louder.

"Stop." Song Yuan drove the horse over: "What's wrong?"

The yamen servant recognized her and greeted her immediately: "My lord, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said that the village head would not allow them to rent the land, so they asked to see the county magistrate."

The young woman looked at Song Yuan, and immediately turned around and kowtowed to her: "My lord, my father-in-law and the man are both dead, and the fields have been taken back by my uncles. Apart from a small piece of dry land behind the house for growing vegetables, there is no other place in the house." Other things, but the head of the village said that my eldest son is too young to be considered a laborer, so I am not allowed to take the rent, please forgive me, let my family have a good farmland, at least let the women raise the children, and the women can do farm work."

She cried, so that the three children cried even more fiercely, and the old woman also kowtowed, repeatedly assuring that her body and bones could also be farmed, and she only asked for a piece of fertile land to support the children in the family.

Song Yuan had already dismounted, looked at them and raised their hands slightly: "Get up first, don't kneel under the sun on such a hot day, it's easy to get heatstroke."

After finishing speaking, she entered the county office. The magistrate knew she was outside the door, so he trotted out, and the two of them were talking by the door.

"Is ten thousand mu of fertile land not enough? I remember that there are still some left."

The county magistrate didn't dare to lie to her, and said honestly: "That's true, but farming is hard work, and it's not good to give good land to orphans and widowed families like them, not to mention that their family can't contribute to water conservancy. Isn't that true?" It's just cheap."

"You can't settle accounts like this. Orphans and widows, their fields are occupied, and if they don't give them good land to cultivate, are they going to starve to death? Moreover, the law of the Great Wei clearly stipulates that if there are males in the family, the fields are not allowed to be taken back. Listen to them." Said, their family's land was taken away by uncles, which is clearly against the law." Song Yuan looked outside: "I don't think there is no man who can't be used as a basis for renting, the reason why the yamen divides the land The purpose of giving it to the common people is to satisfy the common people's food and clothing, and there is no difference between men and women when it comes to eating and filling their stomachs."

The county magistrate looked embarrassed: "But if you do this, these people will not be able to cultivate well, the harvest will be too small, and the grain production will not be enough"

"Food production is secondary. The most important thing is to eat enough and not starve to death." Song Yuan thought for a while: "If such a portal is ignored, it will really starve to death."

The county magistrate nodded after hesitating for a while: "Yes, the next official will arrange for them as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Song Yuan walked out, and the young woman took two quick steps towards her, her face full of anticipation and nervousness, wanting to know what the result would be. When she saw Song Yuan getting on the horse, she panicked all of a sudden, and was about to chase after her to ask Asked, was stopped by the county magistrate.

"Which village are you coming from? Somebody, go and call their chief."

The young woman was a little nervous: "My lord, the women just want to ask for a piece of land."

The county magistrate nodded: "I know, just now the magistrate magistrate has already said, come in, wait for your lieutenant to come, and see which one is more suitable for your family. Not tired."

"No, my lord, the women are willing to endure hardships and work hard. They have many children, and they are also at an age of growth. I beg you to arrange a big place. The women must plant the food well." The young woman knelt down again after speaking.

The county magistrate was silent, nodded and let them come in first, which was his agreement.

When Song Yuan returned to the yamen, he immediately called the officials: "Words have been sent to the counties that even if there are no male households, they will be given fields. No matter how big or small, they must have a place to grow rations. In addition, when these households build water conservancy projects, they will get land. , can arrange for the female relatives to help cook and deliver water, which can be regarded as a contribution, so as not to let someone say that they take advantage of the situation."

"Yes, the next official will go right away." The official took down her words carefully, and hurriedly wrote an official document and sent it to the counties.

The heavy rain hit overnight at the end of autumn, thunder and lightning flashed, and even the wind that came with it started to freeze people. Song Yuan yawned and turned off the light, sitting cross-legged on the bed and still getting sleepy, a flash of lightning jumped out. The Taoist figure was clearly reflected on the ground.

She woke up immediately, looking at the dark outside of the house, the thunderstorm poured down overwhelmingly, covering all the sounds, when the lightning jumped out again, the figure disappeared, and instead there was the sound of smashing from the yard next door.

Next door lived Mu Lin and Huo Ying, both of whom were scholars who couldn't lift a knife. Song Yuan grabbed the sword and rushed out. Amidst the thunder and lightning, she had no time to walk around in those winding corridors, directly Go over the wall.

The yard is huge, Mu Lin and Huo Ying live opposite each other, and in the middle is a spacious yard with a wide view. As soon as Song Yuan landed, Mu Lin rushed out of the house, scrambling and scrambling. When he saw her, he immediately shouted: "My lord, help me."

At the same time, two black shadows rushed out of the room, the blades of their swords flickered with cold light, and they went straight to Mu Lin's life gate. Song Yuan immediately drew his sword to stop them, and Huo Ying, who was opposite, was thrown out of the room. Throwing it out, he rolled twice on the ground, drenched and embarrassed, but clutching the inkstone tightly in his hand, trying to fight this group of people.

During the fight, Song Yuan deliberately took her into the rain-poured courtyard. The person who was about to attack Huo Ying saw Song Yuan, and seemed to know her strength very well. Without a word, Qi Qi came to kill her. Huo Ying and Mu Lin Find a place to hide quickly.

It was time for Wei Yan to bring his bodyguards to help Anzhou, and the yamen servants would not come here to watch the night. It was difficult for them to make any noise during such a heavy thunderstorm, so there were no reinforcements.

But Song Yuan didn't want the yamen servants to come over either. These people are very skilled. When the yamen servants come, they just give away their heads. It's better for her to single out these assassins.
