Chapter 626： Rokuda

  Hanlan was even more happy, and hurriedly responded.

When talking to her husband about this in the evening, Han Lan said with a smile on her face: "I see that the princess likes Miaofu very much, and she has a good impression on us. I heard that the prince loves the princess, does that mean that he will also have a good impression on us? , will the exploitation be lighter?"

Chen Jiacai remembered the content of the conversation with Qi Haoran and his attitude today, nodded and said, "It seems that Prince Qi has a good attitude towards us."

Han Lan saw his brow furrowed slightly and asked, "Then what are you worried about?"

"Prince Qi's attitude only represents him personally. Even if we can live better when he is in office, how long can he stay in Qiannan? At least three or two years, at most five or six years, he must return to Beijing. Yes, pin the happiness of the entire Miao ethnic group on the attitude of one person..." Chen Jiacai shook his head, "It won't last long, so we have to have the strength."

As long as they have strength, what are they afraid of?

Han Lan pondered.

"By the way, what did the princess ask today? You tell me one by one."

Han Lan hurriedly repeated it from beginning to end, saying: "The princess seems to be particularly concerned about farming, and asked us exactly what we planted, how we planted it, and how we harvested it. By the way, he also asked about the seedlings we have land. There are not many people, how many are there, how many are few, how do the Miao people who have no land live, and the fabrics we print and dye. ."

Chen Jiacai pondered and said, "You have done a good job. I'm afraid Lord Qi wants to explore the land of each Miao village."

At this time, Mu Yangling was also lying on Qi Haoran's chest, and told him the news that he had inquired about during the day, saying: "No wonder it is said that the Miao people have a hard life, and most of them only have two or three acres of land to grow food at most. That's all, the rest are wasteland and uncultivated mountains, but the yamen still collect and pay taxes. I heard from them that most of the Miao people farm land for tax payment, and their livelihood mainly comes from the mountains, picking some medicinal herbs, or hunting in the mountains. , As long as you don't get sick, you can survive only by eating bran and pharyngeal vegetables."

Qi Haoran took Mu Yangling's arm and patted it: "Don't worry, Qiannan has been exempt from tax for the past three years, they should have a chance to breathe."

Mu Yangling nodded, "I asked about their yield per mu, which is very low, even worse than our harvest in the Northland."

Qi Haoran frowned, "Even if southern Guizhou is barren and there is enough rain, the land should have become fat after a few years of raising it. How could the harvest be so poor?"

"It's a terrain problem, but also a farming problem. Because the harvest here is not good, most of their energy is still in the mountains and forests. The farming techniques are very rough. They don't think about it. , as soon as the sun came out, the land was dry again," Mu Yangling sighed, "Though the farmers work hard in this way, the harvest is not much."

It can be said that on the Miao people's side, it is still semi-farming, because their main source of life is collecting herbs and hunting, while on the Han people's side, they work hard to farm, but in fact, due to the lack of fields, their lives are not very good. .

Mu Yangling said: "I want to go out for a walk and take a look at the fields in Juzhou. Don't you have Lutian? I want to try and see if the Upland Rice No. 1 can be successfully planted here."

Qi Haoran said, "Is it possible to grow corn here?"

"Yes, that thing doesn't need to be planted in the mature ground, just plant it on the ground. When Mr. Liu comes and tells him that he is the prefect, he is in charge of these things."

"Then go and see. You know more about farming than I do. It's a great achievement to increase the yield. Now there's no need to avoid it. After the experiment is done, let the big brother order you to praise you."

Mu Yangling pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "What's the use of complimenting me, but I can't be eaten as a meal. If you have the ability, you can also make me an official Dangdang."

Qi Haoran frowned in distress and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

Mu Yangling twisted his waist and said, "You tease me again."

Qi Haoran laughed "giggling", turned over and pressed Mu Yangling under him, Mu Yangling pushed back and said, "I still have something to tell you."

Qi Haoran stretched out his mouth to kiss her, and muttered, "Is there anything more important than this?"

Mu Yangling stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, panting: "Head of Ji'an's eldest daughter Han Lan is a very smart person, she stopped me from asking me about the news of each Miao village, and she deliberately missed a lot of information when translating. , and misled me."

Qi Haoran stretched out his tongue and kissed her hand, Mu Yang's heart trembled, his face flushed, and he quickly took it back. Qi Haoran leaned over to hold her lips and kissed her fiercely before leaving slightly, vaguely. Indistinctly said: "Isn't this normal? If I were to inquire about the news of my military camp, I would have to do the same..."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and tore off the tent, completely blocking Mu Yangling's mouth.

The next day, Mu Yangling went out immediately after Qi Haoran went out. Xiaoting was sent to serve him, and Mu Yangling said, "Go to the prince's Lutian to see."

Qi Haoran, as the fief of King Rongjun, and Lutian are located in the suburbs of Beijing, Pingjiang House and Jiankang House, etc. Here is his Lutian who is the general of southern Qian. When his term ends, these Lutians are not his. .

Although he is a super-ranked county king, he is only a second-rank general in the position of Qiannan General, so Lutian is also a second-rank.

But there are also many Lutians of second-rank officials.

But Xiaoting stood in the field, but his face turned green with anger, and he pointed at Zhizhou, who came to measure, so angry that he was speechless, "This is our prince's Lutian? Just a little bit of land, plus three broken hills? "

Xu Zhi was also very angry, but he had to bow his head and said: "Juzhou is poor, with more mountains and less land, and the land is given according to the standards of various places. Because the court has not yet set a new salary, this standard is still copied. In the previous dynasty, General Qi was the second rank, and he really deserved it."

"Fart, our grandfather is the younger brother of today, the prince of Daqi, does this land seem to have 100 acres? It's all sandy land, you can see that the stones in it are almost as big as a head, and then look at the three A mountain with dense trees on it, what do we use it for?"

Xu Zhi's face turned blue with anger. He now understood what a slave was, and Mu Yangling also knew what a slave was. She got off the carriage.

Xiaoting immediately greeted him and complained of grievance, "Princess, they bullied our lord to come from out of town, and they just used this kind of cowardly land to fool us."

Xu Zhi's face was displeased, his hands under his sleeves clenched into fists, obviously already extremely angry, Mu Yangling stood on the ground and glanced at him before turning his eyes away to look at this piece of Lutian.

Xiaoting glanced at Xu Zhi proudly.

Li Chun and Li Qiu looked at him sympathetically, Xiao Ting didn't understand the person of the princess, and he acted too much.

Mu Yangling walked down the field, squatted down and pinched the clods of soil. The soil was gray, probably because it had rained a few days ago, and it dissipated as soon as it was pinched.

The position where she stands is rather mysterious. Under her feet is her own Lutian. The carriage is on the road. Going there is someone else's Lutian. , obviously belong to different families.

Moreover, the yellow soil occupies most of the land over there, and only a little of the gray soil, but the opposite is true here. Not only is it connected together, but there is also very little yellow soil. To, it is also a distribution of east and west.

Mu Yangling turned his head and asked Xu Zhi, "There is also Lutian over there?"

Xu Zhi suppressed his anger, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Whose family is it?"

Xu Zhi thought that she still wanted to occupy those lands, and said with an unpleasant expression: "All the officials of the prefecture are among them, including the prefect who has not yet taken office."
