My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 272 Daily Life
"Just now, Wu Changsui said that General Lu beat Qin Shangshu?"

The morning light shone through the window lattice, and the woman stroked some folds on the king's clothes, "It is not good for a general who leads troops and an important minister in the court to spread the news. The king still needs to say more. And... just now the king said to send him off. What does daughter mean?”

"Ha ha."

Su Chen closed his eyes and chuckled, enjoying the sound of the woman flapping her robe. He casually pulled the delicate body next to him and gently placed one hand on her bulging belly.

"Our Qin Shangshu took in an adopted daughter and hid it, thinking that the orphan didn't know about it. As for giving away a daughter, which family do you think is a good person to give away a daughter to?"

Jiang Wan immediately understood the meaning of these words, but she said no more and simply enjoyed the feeling of the man's palm touching her bulging belly.

"I'm afraid this old thief can't figure out why Lu Bu didn't fall for the trick." Su Chen turned around and hugged Jiang Wan in his arms amidst Jiang Wan's exclamations. Jiang Wan leaned on her thick chest and strong arms, Her heartbeat was beating fast. She looked up at the handsome and slightly fierce face with a chin, and was put on the bed smoothly with a blushing face.

"Don't worry about things outside. Just take care of your business and take good care of yourself. Don't get pregnant."

"Ah."

Jiang Wan hugged the quilt and tightened the quilt like a little woman. Only her head with messy hair was exposed. She blinked at the man in front of her and smiled at her, then turned and left.

When she heard the sound of the door closing, she exhaled and pinched her cheek with her hand.

This time the feeling is even stronger. I hate the other person so much, why can’t I hate him now?

Feeling the pain on her face from being pinched by her, Jiang Wan rubbed her teeth and rubbed it. Thinking of her previous thoughts, she shyly pulled the mattress to cover her face, curling up into a ball under the quilt.

……

Outside the dormitory, Su Chen stood motionless at the door, rubbing his face vigorously.

When he came back and entered the main hall yesterday, he noticed something strange about Queen Mother Jiang Wan's belly, so he asked her to wait for him in Taining Palace. After waiting for the next court, he hurried into the bedroom and asked Jiang Wan to take off her phoenix robe. Seeing the woman's bulging belly, she froze in place for a while for no reason.

Even for the next whole night, after Jiang Wan fell asleep, he sat on a chair alone, looking at the woman's swollen belly, until dawn.

In the first half of the night, he thought about asking Jiang Wan to abort the child in her belly, but when he heard Jiang Wan let out a low cry of pain due to fetal movement, he subconsciously covered his lower abdomen with his hands.

Su Chen's mind changed again.

After all, it is his own child, and he is still a father for the first time, so he is reluctant to part with it. Then there are the problems of the heirs, and the problem of the little emperor Kitamiya...

Su Chen had murderous intentions at that time.

But later, he suddenly thought that Cao Cao could raise Qin Lang, so what if he raised Bei Gongshu, who was not the legal heir anyway.

under the eaves.

Dian Wei and Wu Zixun, who were on the left and right, looked at Su Chen motionless. They looked at each other and wondered what was wrong with King Xia, so they couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

"Being slapped in the face by the Queen Mother?"

"I'll go find some reason with the Queen Mother!" Dian Wei turned around and was about to open the door, but Su Chen said, "What a wild guess, no."

Immediately, the two walked out of Taining Palace and went to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors. Cao Cao was not here, which made Su Chen a little uncomfortable and worried that he and Uncle Liu would sacrifice themselves.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about King Wei and Uncle Liu."

Li Tiangang rarely took the initiative to talk to Su Chen. He followed him and stood under the eaves of the palace with his whisk in his arm. "Times create heroes. They are the heroes of that era. Heroes will never leave." "What does the Taoist Master know?"

Ever since the Taoist priest was invited back after the house was confiscated that day, Su Chen had already felt that he was very different from the past. After all, the other party sometimes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally when he was talking to the emperors, and he could probably hear it, especially that day Chen When he was possessed by Li Shimin in the camp on the riverside of Dujun, the other party patted Li Tiangang on the shoulder.

It is enough to show that the other party can not only see these emperors, but even know more than him.

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Taoist Li shook his fly whisk, stroked his beard and smiled. The moment he turned around, his collar tightened, and his whole body was lifted up. When he turned in one direction, what came into view was Dian Wei's evil face.

The giant man with an angry beard stared at him.

"What Lu?"

"General Dian, the Taoist priest doesn't want to say anything, he has his own reasons." Su Chen patted Dian Wei's arm, and then the latter put the Taoist priest down. Su Chen raised his hand towards Li Tiangang: "Taoist priest, I hope you don't get angry. .”

"Haha, poor Taoist monk, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"

Taoist Li shook his fly whisk and turned around with a smile and walked into the temple. His legs were shaking slightly under the hem of his robe.

Here, Su Chen went over to say hello to Li Shimin, who was supervising Li Xuanba's writing and reading, and then said hello to Liu Xie, who was squatting in a small stove making medicine. As for Li Longji, he was squatting on a nearby wall, looking to the southwest and sighing. .

Most of the morning was spent in the palace greeting various emperors. For the rest of the morning, Su Chen summoned Zheng He and asked him to keep an eye on the Qin Mansion. Then he led Dian Wei out of the palace and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Jia Xu. The old man was busy dealing with some government affairs, which were all about the autumn harvest, taxes, statistics on the grain and money needed to conquer Xirong later, and how many young men needed to be recruited.

Recruiting more young people is very harmful to farming, and it is directly related to the next year's harvest and population birth.

Su Chen's army has always recruited surrendered soldiers and prisoners. It has not recruited soldiers on a large scale in Yan State because it is afraid that the population and fertility will decrease significantly, resulting in insufficient soldiers and desolate fields. In addition, in this world, medical conditions are poor, illness and The mortality rate for women due to dystocia is extremely high. If another natural disaster strikes, many people will have no chance of survival.

Even if they are disabled soldiers, Su Chen will try his best to place them in schools, nursing homes, jails, and other places that can be used in all states and counties to ensure that they can have food for the rest of their lives. Have a house to live in.

At the same time, it also allowed the local government to basically guarantee their loyalty to Su Chen and keep the Embroidery Department and the Police Factory well-informed.

After Jia Xu finished handling some matters, Su Chen walked with him in the side courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and talked about recruiting civilians and expanding the army to prepare for war, but Jia Xu temporarily vetoed it.

"Xirong wants to fight, but we can't fight now. After the three armies and horses in the Central Plains are clear, the king can mobilize a batch of grain and fodder from the Central Plains to share the pressure on the North, which means sharing the burden on the shoulders of the people."

"King Xu Zhi is eager to eliminate the serious problems in the north, but he cannot be hasty and destroy the foundation of the north built by Prime Minister Zhuge. Now there are tens of thousands of hectares of farmland in Yanzhou. There will be a big harvest in Yanzhou this year. When winter comes, Xi Rong rests his horse, which is the best time."

Su Chen looked at this cunning fox and suddenly understood his intention from his smile.

"Right now, I'll give it to the soldiers, civilians, and even the war horses!"

"Of course!"

Jia Xu raised his finger: "The Ministry of War will definitely not be able to finish it. Your Majesty, you might as well decentralize it to the private sector, let private workshops share the burden, and give the people in the market an extra income."

"Haha, that's it!"

Su Chen bowed his hand to Jia Xu. Besides using tricks, the scheming man was actually not bad at domestic affairs. After talking for a while, he had lunch at the Prime Minister's Mansion and then left the city with Dian Wei and the others.

Go and see what the productive crops in the experiment look like.
