The pretty boy of the landlord's house

He said he would go out to play for a few days, so naturally he wouldn't rush back because of Lin'an's affairs. The next trip was to go around the surrounding towns. Zhao Fengye also drew a lot of signs on the parchment map.

Du Zhou didn't care what he was doing, he had some guesses in his heart, and he didn't ask too much. He saw the miserable situation here along the way, every household, women and children working in the fields with their children, all of them were yellow and thin, It looks like bean sprouts.

Du Zhou gave some of his dry food to the children on the side of the road, but the children refused to eat it, and sent it back to the seriously ill old mother at home to melt and eat.

"Why is the situation here so serious?" Du Zhou sighed a little on the way back, feeling like he was living in two worlds.

Zhao Fengye said: "It may be more serious in the future."

"I don't know what to do to help them." Du Zhou said worriedly.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Zhao Fengye put his arms around his shoulders and said, "This is not your responsibility."

Du Zhou was silent for a moment, and said: "Don't the court know? The emperor will send someone to deal with it, right?"

"The emperor is not just a fool." Zhao Fengye's eyes froze, looking a little gloomy.

Du Zhou was startled and remained silent.

After a few days of exhaustion, Du Zhou finally returned home. Du Zhou didn't eat well all the way, and the fish cooked by the cook didn't have much appetite. Instead, he found that there were more stir-fried side dishes on the table. Jade is average, and it tastes good after two tastes, and I haven't seen it before.

"What kind of wild vegetable is this?" Du Zhou asked Shen Bojun who was eating together.

Shen Bojun wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "It's not the things your classmate sent to grow. They crawled all over the yard, and the cook picked them up and fried them as vegetables."

"It's delicious, will it bear fruit?" Du Zhou asked.

Shen Bojun shrugged and said, "Go and ask Huo Qi."

Du Zhou thought it was good, it tasted good, and it could grow all over the yard, even if people didn't eat it, it could be fed to pigs, so he went to find Huo Qi that day.

Huo Qi came from further south. I heard that in the previous dynasty, his ancestors were still engaged in maritime trade and saw many strange things. With the money earned from the sea, his grandfather donated an official in the south. , manages all docks in the southeast.

When Du Zhou came to ask him something, Huo Qi immediately felt very elated, and immediately took his book boy to Du Zhou's yard to teach him how to cut this kind of vine.

"In autumn, if you dig the ground, you can grow a lot of sweet potatoes. Even if there is a drought, this kind of thing can grow a lot, and the requirement for rain is not high." Huo Qi introduced triumphantly.

When Du Zhou heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. Isn't this very similar to the sweet potato that Yu Jiujiu said?

"Then can I vigorously promote the planting of this sweet potato?" Du Zhou asked.

"This is your own business, as long as you like to do it." Huo Qi didn't have any objections.

Du Zhou immediately felt that it could be arranged, and it would be better to promote it to Lin'an. Du Zhou told Zhao Fengye about this.

According to what Huo Qi said, three joints should be cut out from the vines of sweet potatoes, and the joints will be buried in the soil, and then roots will grow. In the future, sweet potatoes will grow on these roots, and the vines on the ground will also climb. It is everywhere, the young leaves and stalks can be fried and eaten, and the old leaves can be fed to pigs and poultry.

There is still a lot of resistance for Du Zhou to promote the planting of sweet potatoes near Nanzhou. After all, everyone spent money to buy seeds during the spring plowing, and spent a lot of time. The grain seeds have just germinated, and it is impossible to pull them out to plant sweet potatoes. Work again.

Du Zhou was also ridiculed by some people, he could only let people grow sweet potatoes in his own field.

The only one who supported Du Zhou was Yu Shijiu.

When Du Zhou saw that he came to ask him for some Teng seedlings, he was still very surprised, so he asked someone to give him a lot of small green seedlings covered with soil and growing roots.

"I didn't expect you to find it?" Yu Nineteen gave Du Zhou a complicated look.

Du Zhou didn't know why he had such a look in his eyes, and asked, "Didn't you ask me to find it?"

Yu Jiujiu was puzzled, of course he didn't think Du Zhou could be found, so he asked him to look for it, and according to the original text, there was a severe drought in this area. Fallen grass turned into bandits, and finally a peasant uprising broke out.

At that time, it happened that Zhao Xiaochun became the emperor and began to send troops to suppress it. According to the article, this peasant uprising should have lasted for a long time.

At that time, Du Zhou had already become a queen, but Du Zhou's father disappeared during the war because he did not evacuate in time.

"Just find it. I think everyone will be grateful to you if they know about this." Yu Shijiu said this sincerely. He is a person in a peaceful age, so he naturally doesn't want to live in a war.

Du Zhou smiled, feeling happy.

Du Zhou sent the Teng seedlings that were not sent out to his own field, let everyone plant them, and watered them.

The nearby tenants saw this incident as a lively scene, and felt that Du Zhou took it for granted that he could produce a large amount of new grain without planting it for a day, which was simply a dream come true.

The matter was passed around, and then spread to the next town. Farmer Wang knew that his own seeds would not grow, so he rented a few acres of land from Du Yukun's family, which was far away from the water source. Scorched grain, this is the third time I have bought seeds.

He heard that Du Zhou didn't need money to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes, so he came to ask for seedlings with the mentality of giving it a try.

Farmer Wang thought that Mr. Shen Bo would run into a wall because of the trouble with Mr. Shen Bo because of the rent, but he didn't expect it to go smoothly. Du Zhou also gave a sorted out planting guide.

Farmer Wang was very grateful, and took Teng Miao back to plant.

On the way back, Du Zhou met Cui'er with a bitter face. When she saw Du Zhou, she hesitated to speak.

Du Zhou was also very kind, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master, let me serve in your yard. Xiao Chun ran away before, and Mrs. Wang asked me to feed the pigs." Tweety felt that this kind of rough work should not be done by herself.

Du Zhou was also a little surprised. Cui'er has always been his maidservant, serving in his yard. Although she was a bit noisy before, she didn't do anything serious, so she asked, "Who asked you to feed the pigs?"

"It's uncle, he didn't like me, so he arranged me to do rough work, young master, will our family really want him to be in charge in the future? This is the Du family, and it's your home." Cui'er said affectionately.

Du Zhou nodded and said, "Since you don't want to do rough work, it's fine."

"Master, I knew you were the best for me." Tweety's brows were brimming with joy, Du Zhou was soft-tempered, it was best to be careful, and he was usually generous, and he gave her a lot of rewards.

She was about to say a few more words while the iron was hot, when she heard Du Zhou say again: "There is no place for you to stay in my yard, why don't you ask the manager to get some money and go find work elsewhere."

"Master, I was wrong, I, I, I... I have no intention of quitting." Tweety almost cried, the family is still waiting for her money to marry her younger brother, if she is kicked out now, she will definitely be kicked out. Parents marry anyone else at will.

Du Zhou glanced at her lightly, and said, "Okay, let's go."

Cui'er didn't dare to say anything, but she made up her mind that she should find another way out. Yuan'er had shown off to her many times before. Mr. Feng?

Du Zhou went back to the house, what did Cui Er say just now that Xiao Chun ran away?

Didn't he still want to stay before, he couldn't help shaking his head, it really has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't know what will happen to Yu Shijiu's marriage.

This thought was not fleeting in his mind and did not occupy his thoughts.

Zhao Xiaochun did run away from Du's house, he even asked him to feed the pigs, and he left that day. He wanted to use Du Zhou as a sharp sword to stab Zhao Fengye, how could he be in someone else's house?

He thought of a way to pay the least price and make Du Zhou empathize with him. In this way, Zhao Fengye would definitely feel betrayed.

As for how to make Du Zhou fall in love with him, he thinks that his face is very good. When he was in the capital, those noble girls all gave him a glance, which is many times better than Zhao Fengye. Who likes his kind of killing intent? Cold-faced Hades?

Zhao Xiaochun is going to regroup and pursue Du Zhou with the attitude of a noble son, leaving an indelible impression in his heart and making him forget about food and tea.

He knew that Yu Shijiu still had some money. He sold recipes in a restaurant and borrowed money from Du Zhou. He didn't think there was anything wrong with taking Yu Shijiu's money. Instead, he thought it was his honor. Well, when he ascends the throne in the future, he can be regarded as a meritorious service, so he can ignore what their Yu family did to him and save their lives.

So he found Yujia Village quietly, secretly met with Yu Jiujiu several times, took a few times of money, and bought a whole set of clothes.

He was well-dressed and wandered around the main city of Nanzhou, Du Zhou, for a few days, but he didn't meet Du Zhou, nor did he meet his former subordinates. Logically speaking, shouldn't they come to him?

After staying in an inn in the city for a few days, the money was gone, so he went to find Yu Shijiu again, and asked him to meet him at the big rock at the end of the village, but at the appointed time, he didn't see anyone, but an unexpected visitor came instead.

When Zhao Xiaochun saw that the other party was tall and burly, he was a little flustered. Hearing what Yu Shijiu said about Zhou Li's uncle's appearance, he seemed to be like that.

He was about to leave when he heard the other party say: "The second son of the Zhao family?"

"It's you? The Second Master!" When Zhao Xiaochun saw the other person's face clearly, he immediately beamed with joy, and finally met his own.

Zhou Hua saw Zhao Xiaochun's face clearly, his brows that were frowning slowly eased away, and said: "It really is you, why did you end up here?"

"It's a long story. I happen to need your help with something important." Zhao Xiaochun didn't do anything with Zhou Huala. He had cooperated with Menghuzhai many times and was already an old acquaintance.

Zhou Hua interrupted him and said, "Please wait for your business later, I'm here to tell you about Yu Shijiu's business."

"Yu Nineteen? What's the matter with him?" Zhao Xiaochun went in without knowing.

Zhou Hua clarified the ins and outs, and politely asked Zhao Xiaochun to separate himself from Yu Jiujiu, otherwise he would be very embarrassed.

When Zhao Xiaochun heard that the matter was so simple, he said: "It's easy to talk about. Since your nephew likes that brother so much, I don't want to fight for it. Let them get married. I will handle it well."

Zhou Hua raised his eyebrows, thinking that he liked Yu Shijiu very much, and it turned out that he was the most ruthless emperor's family.
