Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 174
"Otherwise, you come back to me."

Qin Liu didn't speak.

"If they let me go, I'll leave."

"However, I feel that this is where I have my place."

"The people here used to be able to live a good life, like when we were in Shabaozi Town at the beginning. But over the years, the government's oppression has become more and more severe, and life has become unbearable."

"They have rebelled. If there is no one to support them and no weapons, and the government and the army come to suppress them, they will have no choice but to carry hoes and fight."

“Seeing these people always reminds me of who we were at the beginning.”

"They are just trying to find a way out!"

"Can you understand me?"

Ma Ang contemplated Qin Liu's unfinished eyes.After all, he nodded.

"Then I'll be with you."

Qin Liu was stunned.

The meaning contained in Ma Ang's words is huge.

She was very disturbed.

She dragged this good young man into the mud like this? !

Qin Liu was very ashamed.

Ma Ang didn’t say any more.He was not good at words to begin with, so he simply started to fidget again.

There are these benefits between husband and wife.

Words that are difficult to express verbally can be expressed with body language.

The next morning, Qin Liu wanted to get up and make breakfast, but was held down by Ma Ang. He got up and made breakfast by himself.

Qin Liu's legs were a little weak and he had to hold on to the wall.

Dalang finished breakfast early and went out. Qin Liu glared at Ma Ang who came to hug her.

This kind of young man who has been suppressed for many years is really terrible when he turns violent.

Ma Ang scratched his head in embarrassment.

When he first got married, he was still a little cautious and didn't dare to let go too much.

Now that I've been away for a while, it's really hard to control.

However, this also has advantages. Qin Liu will express his dissatisfaction when he is obviously much closer to her.

This is a more intimate expression.

Otherwise, no matter how close we are physically, we are still far away in our hearts.

Qin Liu felt a little weak. After thinking about it, he still didn't go to Cui Ying today, but rested at home.

Cui Ying also thoughtfully thought of her husband and wife's reunion, and rarely disturbed her.

Ma Ang couldn't stop and tidied up all the places in the house that could be tidied up.

Lunch is also included.

He even thought that it would be great if life stayed like this.

The next day, another group of uninvited guests came to the village.

When Qin Liu saw Yang Shen surrounded by guards, he felt like he was dreaming.

What was this friend of Emperor Zhengde, the son of a cabinet minister, doing in the den of rebels?Aren't you afraid of being hacked by someone? !

Yang Shen also felt unreal when he saw Qin Liu dressed as a peasant woman.

This woman is too wild!
They were all prosperous in the rebel rear and were able to follow the local customs.

He was also a little surprised when he saw Ma Ang dressed as a farmer behind Qin Liu.

He already knew about Qin Liu's marriage to Ma Ang.

He really didn't expect that this woman would marry such a man.

Just a prairie prince.

But it's just an officer, where can't he be found?
Zhu Yue is also better than the person in front of him!
A strong sense of reluctance welled up in his heart.

Why? !

Why? !

Immediately, his eyes quickly dimmed.If you have a family, you have long been disqualified.

What is there to be unwilling to do?
Yang Shen settled here with some abandonment.

He brought special gifts to Qin Liu-potato and corn seeds.

The two of them had talked about these things before when they were in Anhua.

Yang Shen is worthy of being the son of Mr. Ge. He quickly understood the value judgment of these things and devoted himself to the search for these crops.

Hard work paid off. He searched several times in the capital's market selling overseas items and finally found it.

Qin Liu was very surprised to find these things.

It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, but it's not the right time to plant.

Qin Liu thought about it and finally came up with a good idea.

Build a greenhouse.

There are coal mines nearby, and burning coal for heating provides the basis for building greenhouses.

Cui Ying didn't understand her approach of building a greenhouse to cultivate seeds in the winter.

"Although we have coal, we can't use it indiscriminately. Many families don't have money to buy coal for heating."

“You have no idea what these crops yield!”

"This is a potato. A lot of things can grow from the teeth. It grows underground and is not afraid of being stepped on. It can grow if there is water and sand!"

"This is called corn, and it has a high yield. If it can be grown on a large scale, there will be far fewer hungry people!"

Cui Yinglue pondered, but agreed to Qin Liu's request.

Cui Ying came from a poor family, has superb martial arts skills, and has a sincere obsession with feeding the villagers.

Nowadays, the government is forcing the people to rebel, and a large number of peasants are revolting not only in Bazhou but also in Shandong.

Chaos is imminent.

But rebellion is not about treating guests to dinner.

The people who came to join the army were poor people whose families were too poor to take the blame.

If the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, and there is no need for government encirclement and suppression, these rebels will collapse on their own.

Cui Ying is not as knowledgeable as Qin Liu, but he can understand the general situation and know what is most important.

Qin Liu understood the hardships of life of these poor people, so he couldn't wait to cultivate as many seeds as possible so that they could be planted on a large scale in the spring!
Qin Liu only regrets that the current industrial equipment is not complete and cannot make plastic films to build greenhouses.

Otherwise, you can ignore the seasons completely and allow crops to grow year-round.

Yang Shen also took great interest in building greenhouses.

He actively follows the potato growing process.

I was very surprised by its adaptability and growth speed.

At temperatures of 20 to [-] degrees, potatoes can be harvested in two months.

At the end of January, Yang Shen finally returned to Beijing with a few freshly dug potato eggs.

He went directly to the palace to meet Emperor Zhengde and presented freshly picked potatoes.

"Two months? To grow so big?!" Emperor Zhengde looked at the two potatoes, one large and one small, in disbelief.

The small one is like an egg, but the big one is like a goose egg. You can't hold it with one hand.

With these high-yield crops, can the six sides' military rations be alleviated to a certain extent? !
Emperor Zhengde was not an emperor who only knew how to recite Confucian classics. On the contrary, he preferred external Confucianism and internal law.

These days, he has been fighting the counterattack of the civilian clique.

Taking one step back and half a step forward, some old people from Liu Jin's period were replaced, but other capable ministers were still preserved by him.

In order to reassure Liu Jin's comrades, he even supported Qian Ning.

Qian Ning is Liu Jin's adopted son. Favoring Qian Ning is to give Liu Jin's comrades hope that the emperor has not abandoned you, but only dealt with some of you who have gone too far and offended too many people.

In order to further defend the imperial power, Emperor Zhengde recognized a large number of adopted sons and built a number of adopted son mansions.

One of the adopted sons is Zhu Yue.

Emperor Zhengde did not dare to go to Baoguo Duke's mansion to see Erlang in person.

On the contrary, he didn't tell anyone the news about Erlang, it just rotted in his stomach.
