You Can't Be Fierce Towards Me!

After being dazed for a moment, Fu Tian came to his senses, with a bright smile on his face, ran two steps quickly, and threw himself into Chu Xiangtian's arms.

Chu Xiangtian hugged him, pressed him hard to his chest, and rubbed his bearded chin on his cheeks and neck, "I miss you so much."

Fu Huang was a little itchy from his beard prick, but he shrank his neck but did not avoid it, looked up at him with bright eyes, "I miss you too."

After being looked at by him, Chu Xiangtian felt that it was worth rushing back all day and night.

The two entered the room holding hands, Chu Xiangtian was covered in dust, and wanted to hug Fu Tian for a while, but he pushed him to the bathroom, "You go take a shower first, and I have told the kitchen to prepare meals."

Chu Xiangtian held his wrist, his callused thumb gently twirled and rubbed on his wrist, "With me?"

Fu Tian's face became hot, and he wanted to break away from his hand, "Mother also said that she would catch you."

Chu Xiangtian grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms, resting his chin on his neck, hugging him like a big bear wrapped around a little bear, and walked forward, "Little Bie Sheng is newly married, mother will understand."

Fu Huang wanted to say something, but he was hugged by his waist and sat on the edge of the bathtub. The hot air made him blush and his heart beat. Fu Huang grabbed his shoulders to stabilize his body and kicked him, " put me down."

Chu Xiangtian lowered his head against his forehead, and their noses touched each other, rubbing each other affectionately, Chu Xiangtian's fingers traced the outline of his cheek lightly, "Don't you miss me?"

Fu Tian instinctively curled up his shoulders, wanted to shake his head but felt against his will, finally lowered his eyes, and snorted like a mosquito.

Chu Xiangtian smiled, and his lips moved down along his forehead, easily covering his lips.

The breath blended, the water was rippling, and the two of Xiaobie were so excited that they lingered for a long time, and only after changing two buckets of water did they come out of the bathroom.

Fu Tian's legs were a little weak, it was Chu Xiangtian who carried him out, dressed the shy young master first, and Chu Xiangtian took care of himself again.

Fu Tian's cheeks were still flushed, and he was rubbing his face vigorously, trying not to make his face so hot. Chu Xiangtian put on his clothes, and seeing this scene, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Pulled his hands to hold them, and kissed each of the left and right cheeks, "Okay, it's not red anymore."

Fu Tian: "..."

He said angrily, "Am I a three-year-old child?"

Chu Xiangtian pulled him out with a low smile, and after hearing the words, he thought about it seriously, "In my heart, I wish I could hold him in my arms every day."

The bandit suddenly started talking about love, Fu Tian was taken aback for a moment, turned his face away and hummed softly, and stopped talking.

Chu Xiangtian smiled lowly, and went to the main hall holding hands with him.

The reception banquet was ready in the kitchen, and Fu Youqin came earlier, seeing that Fu Tian had changed into another clothes, she didn't say anything, and let them sit down for dinner with a light cough.

***

Not long after Chu Xiangtian came back from Zhenwu County, he entered October.

The weather in October is still hot, not much different from the weather in August and September. The water level of Fengshui has dropped by a foot visible to the naked eye.Posts reporting disaster situations from all over the country have been sent up one after another.

There was also a lot of quarrels in the courtroom. Some people thought it was a sign of a catastrophe and they had to prepare early. Some people thought it was unfounded worrying, but it was just that the weather was extraordinarily hot. There were times when it was this hot in previous years, and nothing happened.

The emperor had already figured it out in his heart, ignored the noise in the court, and sent approval documents for reducing taxes to various places.

Fu Tian has also been busy for a while, and all the fields in Sifang Town have been harvested. He has specifically explained that all the grain grown from new rice seeds will be stored except for the amount he will plant next year.

For the past two days, he has been busy dealing with the food exchanged from Zhou Chuanqing, Wei Yang, and Nie Erdong's Zhuangzi.

Fu Tian gave all of the new rice seeds brought from Sifang Town to the three of them. When the three ordered Zhuangzi to plant them, they didn't expect the new rice seeds to be very powerful, but in September and October After harvesting, I asked a lot, only to find that when all Zhuangzi were affected by the weather and reduced production, the fields planted with new rice seeds were not only not affected, but the production was higher than usual.

This makes the stewards very happy. Unlike the sons and young masters who don't know anything about farming, they can see the value of it at a glance. If the farm is replaced with new rice seeds, the benefits will be unimaginable. Every season How much more food can be produced!

Zhou Chuanqing and the others were not only surprised when they heard the news, they also vaguely realized the importance of it, and came to ask about the situation one after another.

Fu Tian told them the reason he had made up before, and proposed to exchange ordinary grain with them for extra grain grown from new rice.

Except for the rice seeds that were left on the farms, the rest of the grain will be sold and exchanged for cash according to previous years. But this year's situation is special. Some sensitive people have already noticed something and started hoarding grain .

Zhou Chuanqing and the others had no problem. After all, the rice seeds were originally given by Fu Tian, ​​and it would be no problem to return the surplus to him. What they were even more curious about was that Fu Tian seemed to have foreseen the disaster that had just emerged.

Chu Xiangtian had discussed this issue with Fu Tian a long time ago. All of Fu Tian's puzzling behaviors can be explained when the drought breaks out. At that time, the attention will definitely be drawn to him. After much deliberation, he decided to push this matter to the "expert".

Facing three pairs of eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, Fu Huang said slowly: "Chu Xiangtian told me that it happened that an old farmer in Zhuangzi discovered a new rice seed and offered it up. I followed the trend."

Several people looked at Chu Xiangtian again, and Chu Xiangtian deliberately hung them up for a while before saying: "A few years ago, I met an expert who said that starting this year, there would be a severe drought for three years. I didn't believe it at first, but later All the signs correspond to the prophecy, so you have to believe it if you don’t believe it.”

Except for Fu Tian, ​​everyone else looked at him inexplicably, "Since when do you believe in these gods and ghosts?"

Chu Xiangtian spread his hands, "I don't believe it, but his prophecy is right, so we should prepare early, just in case. I have also told the emperor about this."

Think of all the movements in the court and the emperor's attitude recently.They finally figured out the truth.

Wei Yang and Nie Erdong looked at Chu Xiangtian jealously, "Why can you just catch up with any good things?"

Chu Xiangtian embraced his arms, and looked at his friend with disdain, "This is probably the difference between me and you."

Wei Yang & Nie Erdong: "..." Damn, shameless.

On the contrary, Zhou Chuanqing seemed to have thought of something, glanced at the smiling Fu Tian, ​​smiled, and for the first time did not join the ranks of Chu Xiangtian, the winner of life criticism.

After returning from the Hou's Mansion, the three Zhuangzis sent all the extra grain seeds to the Hou's Mansion, and the other families didn't know what they were doing, so they all watched curiously.

Fu Huang sent all these rice seeds to the newly opened shop. Xiao Qiao and Chang Xi were in charge of the shop, but because the rice shop didn't sell rice, but only rice seeds, the business in the shop was not booming, and the two of them were very leisurely recently.

Seeing that Fu Tian sent the rice seeds over, he happily accepted them, but when he heard that they were still rice seeds, his expression froze immediately, and both of them couldn't understand why Fu Huang was so obsessed with this new rice seed .

Fu Tian was still smiling, "I'll be busy in a while."

Xiao Qiao always felt that what he said had a deep meaning, but she couldn't guess it, so she could only answer half-believingly, only Chang Xi said in a daze: "If you want me to say, every family in this kind of land keeps their own rice seeds. Why pay for someone else's?"

Xiao Qiao gritted her teeth, stepped back and stomped on him hard.

Chang Xi's painful face was contorted, realizing that he had said something wrong, he closed his mouth aggrieved.

Fu Tian didn't care, and still smiled, "Of course it's because our rice seeds are good." As for how to do it well, they will naturally know when there are more people planting it.

***

After October, it is time to enter winter, but this year's climate is extremely abnormal. Seeing that winter has entered, there has not even been a single snowfall. The warm sun is hanging high, and even the fox fur coat that has been prepared There is no need to take it out, a thicker cotton robe is enough to resist.

This is the case in Qingyang, and it will only be hotter in the south. Fu Tian wrote to Sifang Town, and Li Qingnian wrote back, saying that this year's winter is not much worse than the weather at the end of summer in previous years.

The old farmers are worried that the abnormally hot weather may cause a bad harvest next year.

It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year. Even though there is almost no snow in the south, experienced farmers know that if the winter is not cold, there should be pests in the spring of the next year.

Seeing that the twelfth lunar month is about to enter, no one is happy, and they are all worried about life next year.

Li Qingnian wrote that the price of rice has risen slowly, and many people are rushing to hoard rice.The rice shops in Nanming County, Xingdong County either closed their doors directly, or raised the price to an outrageous level. The merchants were sensitive to something and started hoarding.

The things that Fu Tian had seen happened again one after another. First, people looted and the price of food soared. In the following year, the weather was even worse. With severe drought and pests and locusts, many people had no harvest and could only rely on food storage. On this day, when the stored food is exhausted and food cannot be bought again, the real troubled times will begin.

Fu Tian sighed deeply, and took up a pen to write back to Li Qingnian, asking him to close the door for the time being, and it's best to go back and rest for a while to avoid the upsurge of grabbing food.

Even if they have food and are willing to help the people, they cannot take it out at this time.Now the drought is just beginning to appear, and the fields have just been harvested. Many people have enough food in their homes. Now they come to buy food, but they want to stock up because of fear. Most of them are not really people who are short of food. There's no need to disperse your stockpile now.

When Li Qingnian received his reply, he thought it made sense, so he talked to a few shopkeepers he was familiar with, gave the shop managers a holiday, and closed the shop back to Sifang Town to prepare for the New Year.

After the warm November passed, there was finally a hint of winter in December, but the cold weather still couldn't dispel the restlessness in everyone's hearts, and most people ushered in the fear of next year. new year.

In the new year of Pingchu five years, a lot of tension was inexplicably added. The common people did not even dare to eat a little more rice in their homes, and carefully hid the savings in their own cellars.

It is also rare for the palace to have no banquets this year. Although the palace did not deliberately reduce expenses, some unnecessary banquets were also cancelled. The news from the palace made the aristocratic families in Qingyang City smell something unusual. Also frugal.

The spring in the fifth year of Pingchu came very early. There were only two snowfalls in Qingyang City in the whole winter. It's hot.

Last year's unusually hot weather has continued into this year, and it will intensify.

But what should be done is still to be done. After the beginning of spring, the common people plowed the fields and bred seedlings. Only when it was time to irrigate did they find that the water level of Fengshui had dropped a lot.

According to the news from the south, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it hasn't rained since the beginning of spring.

Fu Huang looked serious, and wrote to ask Li Qingnian to help promote the new rice seeds. The common people don't need to spend money to buy them, but only need to exchange the same amount of grain.

Most of the people in Xingdong County and Nanming County knew about Fujia Mipu. At this time, the good reputation that Fujiamipu had accumulated all the time came into play.Li Qingnian sent people to put the raised seedlings on the rice shop for the common people to watch. Many common people came here after hearing about it.After discovering that the seedlings bred are indeed better than those grown at home, they can't wait to use their own rice seeds to replace them with new ones.

The new rice seeds from Fujia Mipu were spread like this, not only the people of the two counties came to exchange, but also many people from the surrounding counties heard the news, and came to exchange with rice grains.

As for Qingyang City, which is far away from the south, the Fu Family Rice Shop has not accumulated the reputation of the next two counties, so it can only be dominated by the royal family.

The emperor first rewarded Kanglehou with an imperial decree, praised him for his youth and promise, and presented new rice varieties with higher yields and easier survival. After a long list of praises for Kanglehou, he attached great importance to the new rice varieties. It describes the various benefits of the new rice species, as well as the benefits of the family and the country.The final edict said: Huangzhuang will lead by example, and replace it with new rice seeds in the beginning of this spring.The imperial decree implicitly and explicitly implied that the family of officials should lead by example for the people.

All the officials and princes who heard the news sent people to Kanglehou's mansion to inquire about the news.

Kanglehou's Mansion was crowded with people all of a sudden.

But this is Fu Huang's purpose. If Qingyang City wants to say who has the most land in Zhuangzi, it must be the most owned by these aristocratic families. It is best for these people to lead the charge.

So they conspired to perform such a play.

Sure enough, as they expected, after the imperial decree came down, each family sent people to inquire about the situation, and the Zhou, Wei, and Nie families had already tried planting, and these three families had a very close relationship with the Hou Mansion. The credibility is higher, and many people immediately decided to switch to new rice varieties.

Fu Huang sent them all to Fu's rice shop in Xishi.
