Ten thousand people suspect that the husband and wife are reborn

Emperor's reward

It was the first time that Nan Qiqi said to Lu Ziqian so bluntly that I miss you, but he really missed Lu Ziqian so much, after being hugged by Lu Ziqian, he couldn't control his emotions anymore.

He wanted to cry a little bit, not because of sadness, but because of joy, so in Lu Ziqian's eyes, he was crying while laughing.

Lu Ziqian was exhausted after driving for a long time, but when he saw his little husband, his exhaustion disappeared, and the whole night's journey was worth it.

Seeing Nan Qiqi crying, Lu Ziqian quickly took a handkerchief to wipe his tears, "My Qiqi is such a little crybaby, I'm back now, don't cry, I will feel bad."

Nan Qiqi wiped away the tears from her face, and hugged Lu Ziqian tightly. He regretted that he really should have gone out with Lu Ziqian in the first place, and never separated for so long.

"Don't be apart for so long again." Lu Ziqian stroked his hair and said.

Nan Qiqi's body trembled violently, he thought Lu Ziqian knew what was going on in his mind.

He just thought of something, and Lu Ziqian said what he thought of, which is too coincidental.

He glanced at Lu Ziqian nervously, and found that it wasn't that Lu Ziqian knew what he was thinking, it was just because Lu Ziqian happened to be with him.

Nan Qiqi grabbed the corners of her clothes and rubbed them secretly, could it be that she had a tacit understanding?

He was fortunate to have studied with Mr. Qin for such a long time and understood a lot of idioms. In the past, under such circumstances, how could he have thought of the word tacit understanding.

"It's getting late, let's rest." Lu Ziqian changed his clothes, came back quickly, and hugged his little husband again. Now he doesn't want to be separated from Nan Qiqi for a second.

Nan Qiqi docilely lay down with Lu Ziqian in Lu Ziqian's arms. The two of them were already very tired, but they still couldn't help chatting every sentence.

"The test results haven't come out yet, why are you in such a hurry to come back?" Nan Qiqi knew why Lu Ziqian would do this, but he still wanted to hear Lu Ziqian say it with his own ears.

"I wanted to see you soon, so I came back. As for the grades, I'm sure I can pass. There's no need to wait there." Before Lu Ziqian traveled, he lived alone for so many years.

But after being with Nan Qiqi for less than a year, she couldn't get used to sleeping alone.

Especially the bed in Mr. Qin's house is much bigger than theirs, and sleeping alone is even more lonely.

Who would want to sleep in a big cold bed when they can go home and hug their soft little husband.

"However, you should stay one night and come back. The road is dark and difficult to walk at night. Brother Zhang from the village just came back in the mule cart at night and overturned the cart and fell on the side of the road. He was rescued the next morning. " Nan Qiqi couldn't help nagging, although he knew that he didn't like nagging, but he finally had such a good husband, if there were no accidents, his life would become more difficult.

"Not next time." Lu Ziqian bowed his head and kissed Nan Qiqi on the forehead, "No matter where we go from now on, I will take you with me, and we will never be separated again."

Nan Qiqi nodded heavily, he also wanted to go over to kiss Lu Ziqian, but he didn't dare, so he could only lean closer to Lu Ziqian.

……

Although the first crop of rice will not be harvested for half a month, everyone in the village can't wait to ask the village chief to divide the land on the mountain when he is not busy, so that everyone can dig terraces after the division.

No matter how efficient the village head is, there is no way for one person to allocate so much land in a short time. In the past, when encountering such a big problem, the village head would call the respected old people in the village to solve it together.

But this is the first time they have come into contact with the terraced fields. They have never planted them at home, so they don't know much about them.

They also went to see people who had planted terraced fields before, but the angles, lengths and widths of each hillside in the village were different, and it was difficult to classify them.

The village chief knew that Lu Ziqian was back, so he pulled Lu Ziqian over to help. He knew this and asked him to divide it for everyone.

He first counted the people in the village, then calculated the area and slope of the mountain, calculated how many fields could be dug, and then drew a distribution map.

After that, he directed several village chiefs to call helpers to draw the land to be dug on the hillside.

At that time, it will be clearer which piece of land is given to the family. Otherwise, if they are asked to paint by themselves, it will be easy to fight if the painting is big and the painting is small.

"The number of land I have drawn is just enough for the villagers to share, but the specific land to be allocated to which family is still up to the village chief to decide." Lu Ziqian felt that this matter seemed to be a simple land allocation. There are good things and bad things, and he will be blamed if the family is divided too well and the family is not divided well.

Only if this matter is handed over to the village head, will it not cause dissatisfaction among others.

The village chief thought the same way, he still had to do this kind of big event himself, and he couldn't leave it to Lu Ziqian, otherwise everyone would be unconvinced and had to be divided again.

The village chief divided the land according to the situation of each family. Most people were satisfied, but there were also some who were dissatisfied. The person who pulled out the rice of Lu Ziqian's family was very dissatisfied.

The man was called Zhang Er, and Zhang Er felt sore when he saw that other people's families were allocated such a large piece of land, but their family was punished and only allocated such a small piece of land.

He is very jealous, and when he sees others living better than himself, he will feel dissatisfied, thinking that God is unfair, and he must make the people who live better than his family worse than his family, so that he can be satisfied.

But he was timid. After being punished for his failure last time, he didn't dare to do it again, and could only hate Lu Ziqian fiercely in his heart.

On the surface, he didn't dare to show any resentment, the villagers were watching, and wherever he went, he would be guarded like a thief, he couldn't hold his head up in the village.

He came home from the field that day and met Li Xiucai.

He wanted to pass by Li Xiucai quickly with his head down, afraid that Li Xiucai would scold him for his bad character. He had heard Li Xiucai use this word to scold others before.

But Li Xiucai blocked his way, and said to him: "I heard that you just pulled out a few grains of rice in Lu Ziqian's house, and Lu Ziqian's mother beat up your family. You have lost half, this punishment is too severe."

Zhang Er looks sad every day, and no one listens to his complaints. Hearing what Li Xiucai said, he seemed to have found a bosom friend and poured out all the pain in his heart, "That's right, I was just passing by. I happened to be thinking about something, so I pulled out two It wasn't intentional, but at that time no one listened to me, the village head directly fined half of my land, it's my fault."

What Zhang Er thought in his heart was that he was just jealous, so he went to pull out the rice in Lu Ziqian's house, but he was afraid that Li Xiu would dislike him, so he changed to accidentally grabbed two rice.

"Do you want to get the other half of your family's land back?" Li Xiucai approached him and asked him, "I have a way. I can ask the village chief to give you the land, but I'm afraid of you."

"What way?" Although Zhang Er was timid, but such a large piece of land was gone, he could be more courageous if he could get it back.

"The law stipulates that the reclamation of wasteland in the village must be reported to the government. This involves the collection of grain taxes. It is not a trivial matter. If it is investigated, the village chief will be jailed." Li Xiucai pulled Zhang Er to the side under the tree, and said speak to him.

Zhang Er didn't expect this incident, "The village chief didn't report it to the government?"

"Of course I reported it, but the result didn't come back so quickly. The result would take three months at the earliest, but the rule is that the wasteland can only be reclaimed after the result is released.

But the result came out too slowly, and everyone couldn't afford to wait. They all dug and planted first, and when the result came out, they could already collect grain and pay taxes by the way. As long as no one reported to the government, the government would also open Turn one eye and close one eye," Li Xiucai patted him, "But if someone reports it, the government will take it seriously, you go to the village chief and tell him, if you don't give you the land, you go to the government to sue him. "

Li Xiucai didn't tell Zhang Er that if he went to the government to file a complaint, the plaintiff would have to face ten punishments first, so most people would not dare to go to the government to file a complaint, and they would settle it privately if they could.

Although Zhang Er didn't know about being boarded, he didn't dare to go to the government to find the official, so he asked Li Xiucai tremblingly, "Is there any other way?"

"I didn't ask you to report to the official, but to scare the village head. If you go to the village head's house to make a scene a few times, the village head will also be afraid. You have to go quickly. If you go late, you will not be able to threaten the village head when the paperwork comes down." long."

Zhang Er asked Li Xiucai worriedly, "Why do you want to help me find a solution?"

"I don't think you are pitiful, and I also don't like Lu Ziqian." The first half of Li Xiucai's sentence was hypocritical, but the second half was true.

Li Xiucai told him a lot. Zhang Er was still a little hesitant at first, but was completely brainwashed by Li Xiucai later, thinking that he was the village chief and it was unfair. He just took back his own land.

If he failed to take back his family's land this time, the village chief would think he was a bully.This time, half of the land of his house was confiscated. Next time, I have to go to his house to grab things.

Although his house is tattered and has nothing, he is still worried all day long that someone will go to his house to rob and steal things.

Zhang Er went to the village chief's house several times to look for him, but he couldn't speak each time, so he was kicked out by the village chief. Later, he couldn't even enter the village chief's house.

The village head didn't need to listen to him to know that he was going to talk about the half of the land that was fined. During this time, the village head was very busy and didn't have time to talk to him, let alone give him the remaining half of the land.

Zhang Er saw that other people's houses were digging in full swing, and his other half of the land hadn't been settled yet. If he waited any longer, either the paperwork came down, or other people planted the land with grain, and he would be too late.

Li Xiucai gave him an idea, telling him not to go to the door of the village chief and wait foolishly, but to stop people on the road when the village chief is out, and to hold the village chief's leg and cry to the village chief, if there are too many people, The village head will definitely lose face. When the time comes, you ask the village head to talk to you alone, and the village head will definitely agree.

Zhang Er got into a dead end and felt that this matter must be done.

That day when the village chief went out, he was stopped by Zhang Er, who even hugged the village chief's thigh and cried.

Lu Ziqian and Nan Qiqi happened to see this scene as they passed by. Lu Rulan didn't tell them about Zhang Er pulling up their rice. The two of them didn't know what was going on, so they stood aside and followed the villagers to watch the excitement.

The other villagers knew what was going on, so Lu Ziqian explained the ins and outs to Nan Qiqi in a simple way. When Nan Qiqi heard him cry so sad, he thought he was being bullied by someone, and thought he was quite pitiful. Help if you can.

After all, Nan Qiqi was also a victim before, and he especially hoped that when he was angered, someone would stand up and help him.

Hearing that this man secretly pulled out their rice when he and Lu Ziqian were not at home, Nan Qiqi put away her desire to help others in an instant, looked at the man with disgust, and whispered: "This kind of person cry What? Wouldn't my conscience hurt if I ran out and cried after doing something bad?"

When Lu Ziqian saw Nan Qiqi's puffy look, he knew that Nan Qiqi loved the rice in the field. He put his palm on Nan Qiqi's back to help him relax, "Don't be angry, when we are not at home , Mother must have pulled him out like a rice seed."

An aunt who was watching the fun heard Lu Ziqian's words and said with a smile: "You really guessed it, your mother gave him two big mouths, and said that if anyone talks to Zhang Er's family, he will grab his head." come down."

Lu Ziqian gave a thumbs up, "My mother is still domineering."

"That is to say, even Aunt Lu dared to provoke her. I really don't know how high the sky is, how thick the ground is, and how easy it is to grab my head." A young man beside him said, hearing his words, he knew how badly he was frightened when he was a child .

Seeing that he had been crying for a long time, Zhang Er stopped crying because he was miserable and ineffective, and immediately stood up, and repeated what Li Xiucai said to him, "Why, be afraid, if you don't want to If I go to the government, you will obediently give me the land."

Seeing his arrogance, Li Xiucai covered his face and backed away. What he meant was that he cried out to the village chief in public. Threatening where no one is.

With so many people watching, not many people in the village know this law, and the village chief probably doesn't know much about it.

This law was handed down from the generation of Emperor Taizu. It has been more than 300 years ago. It is estimated that since the last or the last village chief, each village has used the method of farming first and then waiting for the approval of the document.

The village head of their village is the nephew of the previous village head. There is no exam required to be a village head, it is a succession system, and the way they manage the village is not learned from books, but through the words and deeds of the previous village head.

What the previous village chief did, the current village chief will learn from.

Small remote villages like theirs are generally left unattended, and the government only collects grain tax twice a year, and ignores the rest, let alone popularize the law for their village chief.

What the village chief didn't know, the villagers certainly didn't know. If Zhang Er secretly threatened the village chief, he might have threatened the village chief and gave him the land.

Then he urged Zhang Er to show off in front of Lu Ziqian, saying that he would not be punished for uprooting his family's rice. In the future, other people will be jealous of Lu Ziqian and want to destroy Lu Ziqian's family land, so they don't have to be afraid of ending up with Zhang Er.

But he didn't think that Zhang Er was so stupid. Sure enough, after he uttered the law, the villagers were shocked, "Village chief, you took such a big risk for us."

"Village chief, don't worry, we'll tie him up right away and prevent him from leaving the village." Several men rushed forward and wanted to hold Zhang Er down.

In this kind of remote mountain village, the village chief has a great say and can punish the villagers according to everyone's opinions. Lu Ziqian heard that there was a man and woman in the village who had an affair 20 years ago, and the village chief asked them to soak them in a pig cage.

A thief was caught in the next village, and the whole village killed the thief together. In this case, no one reported it to the government. Even if they told the government, the government would basically ignore it.

This era is very dark and cruel. It is not like in some costume dramas. Someone died in the village, and the county magistrate and governor came to the countryside to investigate the case.

So if you live in the village, if you don’t behave a little bit, you will be bullied to death by other villagers. The most important thing is to build a good relationship with several villagers, so that when something happens, someone will stand up to help speak out and intercede, and the village head will be lenient.

But the relationship between Zhang and Zhang was not good, and no one stood up to speak for him. He panicked when he was held down by several people, and almost peed his pants.

The village head waved his hand, "It's okay, the document has already been in my hands, just let him go to the government to sue."

In fact, the village head didn't know that this was breaking the law. He thought that after the report was made and the paperwork came down and the food was planted, he could just pay the tax directly.

Lu Ziqian learned about the relevant laws recently, and only then did he know that there was such a thing. He told the village head and asked the village head to report it quickly, because their family was about to harvest rice, and it would be too late if they didn't go.

The content of the report includes how many acres of land, under whose name, let the village chief write in detail, and ask for documents when reporting.

The village head also said that he made a fuss out of a molehill, and after the other people reported their cases, they had to wait three months for a reply, and Lu Ziqian's family could make up for it.

Just wait until winter to pay the grain tax for the first half of the year. This has been done many times before, and the government has always turned a blind eye.

The village chief didn't care, who knew he would give him an answer the same day he reported it.

The county magistrate had heard from Lu Ziqian that their family had tried to grow terraced fields. He probably didn't know that he had to report this, so he asked the people below to pay attention to it and asked for an answer that day.

Lu Ziqian was relieved to see that the village chief got the paperwork before their family's grain harvest.

Before he dug the terraced fields, he asked his mother, and his mother said that he could just tell the village chief, but the village chief thought he couldn't grow anything, so he said he could do it casually, but he didn't care.

The previous two exams will not test the law-related content. He has never read it. Fortunately, he read the law recently. After seeing it, he asked the village chief to help him fill it up. Otherwise, people will use this as an excuse in the future. Oh no.

When Li Xiucai heard this, he subconsciously thought that the village head was lying. He had already thought about it. First, he asked Zhang Er to go to the village head to make a fuss. He wanted the land to disgust Lu Ziqian's family, and then waited for the tax collector for a while. When he came over, he pretended to be unintentional and "spoofed" the tax collectors, saying that someone from his village went to the mountains to dig land to grow grain without permission.

Although this kind of situation happens to some extent in every village, the laws are very strict, but usually you can make up for it with a few dozen coins, and this can be accommodated. He just wanted to disgust Lu Ziqian and his family.

But who knew that the village chief had already finished the report before the rice harvesting season came. Could it be that there is not much work in the yamen recently, so they will get the results so quickly.

Just when Li Xiucai was puzzled, he heard Zhang Er, who was about to be tied up, yelling: "The village chief, forgive me, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened to Li Xiucai's advice, he taught me to say that Yes, if I am myself, how can I know what law."

As soon as he yelled, everyone stopped their hands. The village chief frowned at him and didn't ask him whether his words were true or not, because even the village chief didn't know what the law originally wrote, let alone Zhang Two.

Others in the village don't understand the law, at most they understand the village rules, and only Li Xiucai and Lu Ziqian understand this in this village.

The village head and the onlookers looked around in the crowd and saw Li Xiucai who was about to sneak away.

An uncle with a loud voice called out to him, "Why are you leaving? Is this because of a guilty conscience or something? The village chief is so kind to us, yet you stabbed him in the back."

"We didn't know you were related to Zhang Er? Helping him like this?" Aunt Wu said angrily.

Another aunt said: "What, don't you understand? He is using Zhang Er. This terraced field was created by Xiao Lu. He is jealous. If the village chief enters, can we still plant this terraced field?" He is jealous of Xiao Lu, if everyone uses this terraced fields to live a good life, they all have to thank Xiao Lu, he must be very upset."

"I'm jealous of him? Why am I jealous of him?" Li Xiucai still refused to admit it.

"I'm jealous that he reads better than you, and I'm jealous that he can come up with such a good way to terrace fields and raise fish." Guixiang's mother said.

"Reading better than me? A joke, I'm a scholar, he's a boy, I'm jealous that he's better at studying than me? There's also this kind of farming fish, but it's just something that doesn't make it to the table, and I have nothing to be jealous of. Maybe Zhang Er heard it from somewhere else, and he made a false accusation against me." Li Xiucai was sweating, and he continued to lie pretending to be calm.

"Xiao Lu has just finished the exam, so he will definitely come back as a scholar." Aunt Wu said.

"Yes!" Nan Qiqi couldn't agree anymore, "My husband is so good, he will definitely pass the exam. If you don't go home and study hard, improve your studies, why do you think about hurting my husband every day?"

"Where did I harm him? He reclaimed wasteland by himself and didn't report it. Even if I really go to the government to report him, it's not my fault." Li Xiucai pouted, "Besides, can he pass the exam this time? say."

"Who said he didn't pass the exam." A thick and strange man's voice came from behind them, and everyone turned their heads to look at the back, and found that a carriage stopped behind them at some point.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and County Magistrate Chen leaned out from inside.

He didn't wear an official uniform today, he only brought a servant with him, he came here today to look at the terraced fields.

After he got out of the car, he came over to Lu Ziqian. The villagers had never seen the official before, they only knew that County Magistrate Chen had an extraordinary bearing, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

When everyone was stunned, the village chief asked tentatively, "You are Xiao Lu's teacher, Mr. Qin."

County magistrate Chen smiled happily, and a few wrinkles appeared on his thin face, "Don't dare to be, dare not be, I haven't reached Mr. Qin's height yet."

Everyone doesn't know how tall Mr. Qin is. They only know that he is a very powerful gentleman, but he is not an official.

The man in front of him said that he is not as good as Mr. Qin, so he should not be an official. Everyone was relieved when they heard Lu Ziqian introduce to everyone, "This is County Magistrate Chen."

Lu Ziqian also saluted him.

After he finished speaking, the villagers fell to their knees. These villagers usually see few outsiders. The county magistrate is already a very big official to them. They all want to lie on the ground, even Li Xiucai is the same , Kneeling on the ground with limp legs.

In fact, a person with fame and fame like him has certain privileges. He can stand up when he sees the official, but he can't stand up because his legs are weak.

On the contrary, Lu Ziqian just bent over, didn't kneel down, and didn't show a frightened expression.

Nan Qiqi was stunned for a moment before remembering to kneel down like the other villagers, but she heard County Magistrate Chen say: "Everyone get up, I'm here today to see the terraced fields planted by Lu Ziqian. Farming, I think it's quite interesting, come and take a look, today you will treat me as an ordinary person."

The people in the village don't believe the words of "just treat him as an ordinary person" from the mouth of the officials. The officials can be polite to them, but they can't be polite to the officials.

Mr. Chen: "If you don't get up again, I will be angry and arrest you all?"

When everyone heard this, they all stood up, but they were also trembling, not daring to raise their heads.

Mr. Chen didn't care about them, but said to Lu Ziqian: "Ziqian did well in the exam this time, and he is at the top of the list again."

"I passed the exam!" Nan Qiqi's eyes lit up with joy, wishing she could jump around a few times.

Mr. Chen said with a smile: "I heard from Mr. Qin that Ziqian married a smart husband. It's true."

When Nan Qiqi heard this, her heart skipped a few beats. When he followed Zhao Cheng in his previous life, those officials said that he was not good enough for Zhao Cheng. This time he followed Lu Ziqian, and was praised by the officials!

He smiled happily for a while, then remembered being shy, and hid behind Lu Ziqian with a blushing face.

Master Chen stopped teasing Nan Qiqi, but looked at the terraced fields not far away, no matter if they were grown or just dug, looking at them together, it was quite spectacular.

"This is the terraced field you told me about? Hurry up and harvest the rice. It looks pretty good." Mr. Chen never thought that grain can be grown in this way. "In addition to rice, wheat can also be grown. ?"

"As long as the soil is suitable, you can grow vegetables," Lu Ziqian asked Mr. Chen worriedly, "You heard what we said just now. Back then, I didn't know the law, so I thought I could just tell the village chief that I could grow whatever I wanted. Thinking about breaking the law, even if I don't know it, I shouldn't do it, and I'm willing to pay double tax this year."

When the other villagers heard this, they all gasped and paid double, wouldn't they have to hand over half of the food?If Lu Rulan hears it, why don't you break his leg?

Guixiang's mother on the side was also a little anxious, because she planted with Lu Ziqian, if Lu Ziqian was punished, she would have to be punished, she boldly said: "Master County Magistrate, we have already completed the formalities before the rice harvest , so as not to delay the tax payment this year, can you make accommodations."

Li Xiucai, who was standing behind, was secretly happy when he heard what they said. He thought to himself that the county magistrate is so easy to talk to?It must be punished, and it must be severely punished!

At this time, Lu Rulan who heard the news also rushed over, and she said to the county magistrate, "Don't say it's double, it's fine to take them all away, please don't take my son away."

Compared with her son, this little grain is nothing. If she could exchange all the grain in their family for his son's safety, she would be very happy.

The village chief also helped Lu Ziqian to speak, "Xiao Lu didn't know whether this method could grow food at first, and he tried to grow those two fields. At first, I thought that nothing could be grown, so there was no need to be so troublesome. Report it and ask the county magistrate to give him a light punishment."

Master Chen waved his hand and said: "How can I punish you? Ziqian has worked so hard to help everyone try new methods, contributing money and efforts. Ziqian is meritorious and should be rewarded heavily. His method is good, if it is popularized , the people in those places with less land and more mountains will be saved, maybe the whole country's grain production will be doubled several times, and they must be rewarded."

Lord Chen turned his head and said to Lu Ziqian: "I just came to see the situation today. It is different from what you said. Now it seems that you are not lying. I will tell Lord Zhifu when I get back, and ask him to report to the Holy Majesty to promote your terraced fields. Fazi, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily."

Lu Ziqian was stunned when he heard this. At first, he thought that County Magistrate Chen would at most let the land under his jurisdiction promote the method of terraced fields, but he didn't expect that County Magistrate Chen would tell the emperor to promote it nationwide.

If the emperor was happy and memorized his name, when he was in the imperial examination, the emperor heard his name familiar and felt that he was a capable person, so he would be awarded the number one scholar directly.

Master Chen's good news is not only this, he said to Lu Ziqian: "Your method is good, I am going to publish a book for you at my own expense. It is best to have detailed pictures of how to dig terraced fields. After all, it is for farmers to see. You must have more pictures and fewer words. I heard that Ziqian is good at drawing pictures. This is not difficult for you. "

Lu Ziqian nodded, "It's exactly what I want, but how dare Mr. Chen spend the money for publishing the book."

"It doesn't matter, I should pay the money. Let's hurry up and make a few copies, and then send them to Beijing together with the memorial for the sage to have a look at." Lord Chen begged to see Mr. Qin several times before, but Mr. Qin didn't see him, this time He said that he wanted to help Lu Ziqian promote the method of terraced fields, and Mr. Qin met him.

And this method of publishing the book was told by Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin said that he was asked to help Lu Ziqian publish a book, and he had to give it to the saint to read and praise Lu Ziqian.

The Holy Majesty will not only reward Lu Ziqian, but will also notice that County Magistrate Chen, who loves the people with such insight, will be more than just County Magistrate Chen when the imperial decree comes, and he will be promoted at least three levels up.

After hearing this, Lord Chen burst into tears, and after thanking Mr. Qin a thousand times, he hurried to Lu Ziqian's place.

Seeing Master Chen's anxiety, Lu Ziqian also knew what Master Chen was thinking. Master Chen needed this achievement, and he needed Master Chen to help him get acquainted with the emperor. This is a mutual benefit and a win-win situation for them.

Lu Ziqian invited Mr. Chen home, gave him the fish raised in the rice fields, and told him the benefits of raising fish in the rice fields.

Master Chen was full of praise, and quickly took a paper to write down, and asked a lot about Lu Ziqian's terraced fields.

Lu Ziqian felt that Mr. Chen was like a reporter, asking very detailed questions, even about his private life, and he answered some questions selectively.

He made an agreement with Mr. Chen that he would finish the manuscript as soon as possible and send it to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen didn't go back immediately, but asked someone about Lu Ziqian's family situation, so he went back to write the prologue of the book first.

Mrs. Chen published the book very fast, that is, within half a month, the book was published. The printing technology in this era is very mature. Mr. Qin said that this printing technology was invented by her mother back then, and it was promoted to the whole country. It is convenient for everyone to print books.

Mr. Chen printed a batch of books and sent ten copies to Beijing. After all, they were for the emperor, so it is not wrong to send more copies. He also sent one to Mr. Qin and one to Lu Ziqian.

Lu Ziqian took it home and looked through it with Nan Qiqi. They first looked at the drawing part, which was printed very finely, and even printed the small details of the drawing.

Lu Ziqian couldn't help nodding, "Master Chen has put his heart into it."

Nan Qiqi turned to the front and saw the prologue at the beginning, which was seven or eight pages thick.

Lu Ziqian used to skip the prologue when reading books, and he didn't understand why he wrote so many prologues for a purely technical agricultural book.

But when he read the first sentence, his attention was attracted. This is not a prologue, this is his personal biography, or a biography full of magical colors.

The roughly translated content of these seven or eight pages is that a villager named Lu Ziqian, who had been a fool before, couldn't even walk well, and couldn't speak, fell into the water one day and fell into a coma, his soul After experiencing ups and downs in the underworld, he found his lost soul and a method of terraced fields beside his dead mother.

Regardless of the ridicule of the villagers, he picked up a hoe and dug a mountain overnight, and the seeds immediately grew taller...

Lu Ziqian: "Is it okay to have a portrait like this? Doesn't the emperor think that he is deceiving the emperor?"

Nan Qiqi: "I think it's quite interesting to write, it's even better than that written in the script. Did Mr. Chen write a script before?"

Lu Ziqian was very worried. He made up the fact that he went to the underworld to meet his mother and brought him back to the terraced fields, but he said to the outside world that his mother gave him dreams.

But Mr. Chen said it was true, and it was outrageous that the seed that was sprinkled in the back grew such tall rice. The emperor is not a fool, would he really believe it?

After he helped cut the rice at home, and salted the salted fish with Nan Qiqi, there was nothing else to do at home, so he took the eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs from their poultry to Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin said that he got the news, The emperor saw Mr. Chen's book Longyan Dayue, promoted Mr. Chen to be the governor, and wanted to reward him, and ordered someone to send him something. He is already on his way, but the journey is far away, and he may have to wait for a while.

"At that time, Mr. Chen also told the emperor about the inadequacies in the law of reclaiming wasteland. After discussing with the ministers, the emperor decided that it should be a method that people are used to, as long as they receive the government's approval document before the grain harvest. That's fine." Mr. Qin smiled and said to Lu Ziqian, "You have done a great thing to change the world."

"This is what Mr. Chen mentioned. He is the one who changed the world." Lu Ziqian used to worry that he didn't know the law and almost evaded taxes. Now that the emperor has changed the law, he has no burden in his heart. "I want to Study hard and try to get the first prize in the exam as soon as possible."

After Mr. Chen's book was printed, a batch was sold, but most of the people who bought it were not farmers, but scholars.

They heard that the pictures in this book were all drawn by Mr. Qin's closed disciple, and that this disciple had been a fool before, but after an adventure, he became smart, not only came up with the method of terraced fields, but also got the emperor award.

And they found out that he was an illiterate fool before he joined Mr. Qin's family. After a year of Mr. Qin's teaching, he was admitted as a scholar.

At first, many scholars envied him for being Mr. Qin's disciple, but after reading the book and seeing the detailed drawings and farming experience on it, they had to admire him again.

If they were allowed to come, within a year, they would study and farm at the same time, even if ten Mr. Qin came, they would not be able to be admitted as a scholar.

Everyone thought that ordinary people would never be able to achieve his level, and Lu Ziqian was definitely a genius, but because he lost half of his soul in the past ten years, he insisted on being a fool for more than ten years.

Even Qian Yi knew about this book and even bought a copy. He excitedly came to Mr. Qin's side to tease Lu Ziqian, "Our great genius has become famous this time."

Lu Ziqian didn't tell him about the book, but asked him, "How is the soap selling?"

Qian Yi took out a box and pushed it in front of Lu Ziqian, "The first batch produced 6 yuan, all of which were sold out, and then worked overtime to increase 6 yuan, and sold 4 yuan. This is the first half of the year. Your share."

Lu Ziqian opened the box, and it was full of silver. After checking, it was exactly 100 taels.

Nan Qiqi on the side was dazzled by the white silver in the box, "A lot of money."

"Is it too much? We originally agreed that one yuan and one penny will be divided, and 10 yuan is ten taels of silver. You gave too much."

"Not much, the share I gave you before was too little, with this way of selling, how much you can earn in a year, my conscience will feel bad
