Chapter 556 Water Absorbing Dragon

The family stayed in Zhuangzi for five days, and both Yuxi and Liuer were much darker than when they came. The only one who was not affected was Qihao.

Yuxi scraped Qihao's nose lightly with her hands, and said with a smile: "This child's skin, it would be great if it could be replaced with Zaozao." It doesn't matter if the boy's black spots are too dark, but if the girl is too dark, it will be a problem for her husband's family in the future .

Sister Quan smiled and said: "I guess the prince will be worried at that time." Fortunately, Qihao only has good skin, and his face looks like Yuxi, a very kind appearance, not the kind of particularly good-looking one. Sister Quan thinks that boys are too good-looking, but it is actually not a good thing.

Yuxi laughed: "My lord has always disliked that Ah Hao's skin is too fair and tender. If you know that Qi Hao can't get a tan, his face will turn dark by then." It is indeed a problem that his son's skin is too good, but it is a fait accompli, and worrying will change it Not the status quo.

Sister Quan said the same thing as Yunqing: "Next time you get pregnant, you can no longer drink the medicinal ganoderma water." Too good nutrition is not a good thing.

Yuxi smiled and nodded.

After resting for five days, Yu Xi had a headache when she returned to the mansion and faced the piles of notebooks on the table. Turning around, Yu Xi said to Yun Qing: "I can't go to the military camp these few days, I have been taking care of all these for ten days."

Yunqing smiled: "I will go to the military camp tomorrow and come back to take care of government affairs with you." Before going to Zhuangzi, Yunqing gave Yu Cong full responsibility for the affairs of the new army.

That afternoon, Yuxi did not meet the ministers below, but buried her head in reviewing the papers. Yu Xi's efficiency is still good, one-third of the work was done in one afternoon and one night.

Tan Tuo came over early the next morning and told Yuxi about the progress of planting yams: "It has been counted, and there are 2.9 million mu of land interplanted with yams and soybeans. Princess, next year the common people will receive The artichokes sold to the government, but the government has the money to buy them and doesn’t have so many places to put them?” In the past, they were worried about the lack of food, but next year they will have to worry about the lack of places to put the food.

Yuxi's answer was very simple: "There is still half a year until March next year, so a few warehouses should be able to be built in such a long time."

Tan Tuo hurriedly said: "Princess, how can so many granaries store so much grain?" Because it is interplanting, soybeans also occupy a certain area. However, based on the calculation of one thousand catties per mu of land, we can receive nearly 30 million catties of yams next year.

The corner of Yuxi's mouth twitched, and he said, "Every county will build three to five more warehouses, why can't it fit in?" The original warehouses are not full, and building three to five more warehouses is enough. Counties with little land do not need so much. Of course, this is all based on local conditions.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "This field is all based on God's face. In case of insect pests or other disasters, the slight reduction in production and the heavy ones will not even bring back the seeds." Yuxi also does not want to have problems, But this situation exists, they must take into account.

Tan Tuo also thought about it for a while, and nodded after hearing Yuxi's words: "Well, what the princess said is true. In addition, not all the people are interplanted soybeans, and some have planted radishes." Because they don't force it, some people Choose radishes to grow with yams.

Yuxi said: "This is in accordance with their own wishes. The taxes in various places should have been counted, so please tell me briefly." The following situation is roughly in Yuxi's mind. Now just want to understand the specific situation.

After the discussion, it was almost noon again. When he returned to the backyard and saw that Yunqing hadn't come back, he could only shake his head helplessly.

When Qihao saw Yuxi, he screamed, and when Yuxi picked him up, he burrowed into Yuxi's arms. Qihao is more than nine months old, and Yuxi is ready to wean him, so now Qihao eats complementary food instead of breastfeeding.

After eating and drinking enough, Qihao smacked his mouth and soon fell asleep. Yuxi smiled and said: "Sleep when you are full, what a little pig."

Sister Quan said: "This is the clothes made for you by the sewing room.

I'll send it over later, try to see if it fits? If it doesn't fit, let them change it. "Although Yuxi is frugal, she does not miss six sets of clothes per season. Zaozao and Liu'er have twelve sets of clothes per season. Children grow up fast, and after wearing them for one season, they will not be able to wear them again next time, so do Get more.

Yuxi smiled and nodded and said: "I have to try it. I feel that I have gained a lot of weight in the past few days on Zhuangzi." There is no need to do anything on Zhuangzi, and it is easy to gain weight if you eat well and relax.

Before the food was served, Yun Qing walked in with strides. Seeing that his expression was wrong, Yu Xi knew something was wrong in the army.

Yun Qing said with a dark face: "A soldier in the army got into a group fight because of a verbal dispute." This happened three days ago, and Yu Cong knew that Yun Qing took his family to the village to play, so he didn't tell him about it.

Yuxi asked: "Those people caused the trouble, right?" The strong men are all honest people, it is impossible to fight in groups, only those bandits and bandits who have killed people have such courage.

Yun Qing hummed and said: "These people form gangs when they enter the barracks. Fortunately, they were not separated from those strong men, otherwise I don't know what they are like." So he especially disliked these bandits, Because it is very difficult to manage.

Yu Xi said: "Have the troublemakers been dealt with?" Hearing that Yun Qing said that the troublemakers had been executed, there are military rules in the army, and such people must be executed according to the rules. Only in this way can the people below be deterred.

After listening, Yuxi nodded and said: "Separate them and send them to the various military camps! If they are dispersed, there will be no more such things." There is no way, they are really short of people, otherwise how would they recruit bandits? Woolen cloth!

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "I'm going to send them all to Yucheng. When they arrive in Yucheng, I'll dispatch them to various camps." Just fight with the northern captive barbarians.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "This method is very good."

During lunch, Yun Qing asked strangely: "Where's Liu Er? Why didn't this girl come out to eat?"

Yuxi said: "Liu'er kicked the quilt last night and caught the cold, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Madam Quan made her a medicinal diet, and she will still be sleeping! After lunch, let's go and see her." The medicated meal made by Mammy contained soothing herbs, and Liu'er fell asleep after eating it. Because Nanny Quan said it was not serious, Yuxi was not worried. I have to say that with Mammy Quan around, Yuxi saved a lot of trouble.

Yun Qing frowned and said, "Why didn't it improve after eating the ganoderma lucidum water?" Zao Zao rarely got sick once a year, and Liu Er would get sick every now and then.

Yuxi sighed and said: "Liu'er is congenitally deficient, you have to recuperate slowly, there is no rush." ​​Since taking the tonic stewed with meat ganoderma, Liu'er's health is much better than before. Yuxi believed that Liu'er's health would get better and better if she continued.

Every time Yunqing hears that Liu'er is not feeling well, he follows Xuan Xin: "Let's take care of Liu'er's body as soon as possible!" Fortunately, Zao Zao and Qi Hao are in good health, so there is no need to worry about it. If they were all like Liu Er, Yun Qing felt that his life would be short.

Yuxi glanced at Yunqing, and said: "Nurse Quan said, if you want Liu'er to get better soon, let her exercise. Exercise can strengthen your physique. You know this better than me. I've thought about it, but Liu'er is not willing I can't force her to practice martial arts and boxing, but I can let her walk around the garden. Once a day in the morning and evening, if she persists, her body will definitely be the same as her peers." Before that, Yu Xi wanted Liu Er to learn boxing and exercise , but Liu'er didn't want to learn, so she stood there and cried for a long time. As a result, Yunqing couldn't bear it, and hugged Liu'er and told Yuxi that he didn't need to learn.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "That's fine." It's not about practicing martial arts or boxing, but just walking, so there should be no problem.

Yuxi said with a half-smile: "Wait until Liu'er can't cry anymore, can you hold it back?" They are all strict fathers and loving mothers, but her family is just the opposite, with strict mothers and loving fathers. Of course, this is limited to Zao Zao and Liu Er, Yun Qing is not so easy to talk to Qi Hao. In Yunqing's eyes, daughters are for pampering, but he should be strict with sons.

There are four miles of walking down the garden. Thinking that Liu'er is not willing to walk more, it is not so difficult for her to walk eight miles every day. Yun Qing hesitated for a while, and said carefully: "Can you walk halfway?"

Yuxi asked back: "What do you think?" She was surprised, she and Yunqing were both hardworking, how could such a lazy person like Liuer be born!

Yun Qing was embarrassed.

After lunch, the couple went to visit Liu'er together. When the two arrived in the yard, Liu'er was still sleeping.

Looking at her pale daughter, Yun Qing said to Yu Xi: "Let her walk around the garden every morning and evening!" . For the future of the child, I can only be cruel.

Yuxi hummed and said: "If you talk about doing it, you can't interfere in this matter anymore." Once Yun Qing intervened, he had to give up halfway. At that time, what she said would no longer have prestige to Liu Er.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I promise not to interfere."

In the afternoon, the couple received a brochure from Jiang Hongfu in a hurry. After reading the excerpt, Yun Qing said to Yu Xi: "Yu Xi, my cousin has developed a water-absorbing dragon."

Yu Xi hurriedly took the brochure to read, and after reading it, she looked happy. This water-absorbing dragon can send water from low places to high places, and it is not a good thing to develop it now. Yuxi said happily: "If it's true what your cousin said, once there is a drought, this thing can come in handy."

Yun Qing said with a smile: "The money we spent is not in vain." Before, he thought that his cousin's idea was a fantasy, but he didn't expect it to come out to him.

Yuxi said: "Although the cost of this thing is a bit high, as long as it is developed, it can help solve many problems." The research on the water-absorbing dragon has cost nearly 100,000 taels of silver. But now that something has been developed, the money invested is worth it. And if there is a drought next year, this thing can also solve the problem of drinking water for some people. (to be continued)
