after being kidnapped by the general

Yuan Li slept soundly, but Chu Hechao was busy for a while before changing his clothes and wiping off the smell of alcohol.

He had never done such a thing before, but he was very patient when he did it for Yuanli.He took off his shoes and clothes by himself. When Chu Hechao finally lay on the bed and slept with Yuanli in his arms, he was a little unbelievable. It was hard to imagine that he would have such a day of serving others.He pinched Yuanli's nose, looked at this man, his teeth were itching with anger and he felt strange, "It means you can make me like this."

Yuan Li, who was blushing, hummed a few times uncomfortably.

The more Chu Hechao watched it, the more he liked it, and he liked it so much that he wished he could put Yuanli Xiaoxiao on his belt.His heart was hot, he lowered his head and bit Yuan Li's cheek, and let go.

Morning light shines through the door.

Yuan Li, who fell into a deep sleep, turned over to hide from the light, when a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[The system of a generation of famous ministers has been activated]

[The task of destroying the Yishan Army has been completed, and the rewards have been distributed, please explore by yourself]

Yuan Li woke up from the dream in a daze, and the location of the coal mine directly appeared in his mind the next moment.

After realizing what happened, Yuan Li sat up suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his drowsiness disappeared.

It turns out that Wu Kai has led people to successfully wipe out the Yishan Army at this time, and the coal mine is in hand!

Yuan Li was extremely excited, wishing to go over immediately to see what the coal mine the system gave him looked like, but as soon as he moved, the arm of the man next to him came over and pushed Yuan Li down on the bed again, with a deep and sleepy voice, " Sleep a little longer."

Yuan Li got out from under his arm, looking at the man's sleeping face, the memory of being drunk last night flashed intermittently.

……

Yuan Li's expression twisted slightly, he quietly moved Chu Hechao's hand away, and when he was about to succeed, he heard Chu Hechao ask, "What are you doing?"

Being caught straight, Yuan Li's face was hot, and he directly preemptively said: "Get up, it's getting late, you have to go."

Chu Hechao opened his eyes, and his eyes gradually became clear. He looked at Yuan Li's guilty look, raised his eyebrows, but didn't move.

Yuan Li pulled him off the bed, then rolled up Chu Hechao's clothes and stuffed them into his arms, urging: "Go, go."

Chu Hechao stood naked with his muscular upper body. He looked down at the clothes in his arms. His lower body was as stable as if it was stuck on the ground. No matter how Yuanli pushed him, he didn't move. After being annoyed by the push, he still said lazily : "When you wake up, chase me away. I forgot how I took care of you last night? Mr. Yuan Le, do you have any conscience?"

Yuan Li simply said: "No."

"..." Chu Hechao almost laughed angrily, he looked down at Yuanli, squinted his eyes and threatened, "Kiss me and I'll leave."

Yuan Li's mouth smelled of alcohol, which was unpleasant, and he didn't want to kiss him like this, so he discussed with him: "Can we kiss after washing?"

The man is still not very satisfied.

But there was a knock on the door, "Master, are you awake?"

Yuan Li hurriedly pushed Chu Hechao again, Chu Hechao frowned, cursed in a low voice, hugged his clothes and jumped out of the window.

Seeing him gone, Yuan Li heaved a sigh of relief and went to open the door.As soon as the door was opened, a few flies flew over, and the strong smell of blood rushed to the face, which almost made Yuanli feel sick after a hangover.

After swiping away the fly, he took a closer look and exclaimed, "Good guy! Where did the black bear come from!"

Leaning on a pillar in front of his door was a huge black bear weighing three to four hundred catties!The color of the black bear's eyes has dimmed, and its body is covered with blood, at first glance it looks like it is alive.

Lin Tian was so frightened that his face turned slightly pale, "This is the black bear that the general killed in the mountains yesterday, and it was specially placed in front of your door. Would you like to take the black bear to the kitchen first?"

Yuan Li waved his hand, walked over to look at the black bear with great interest, and muttered to himself, "This bear's paws are so big, it can kill people with one paw..."

He fiddled with the bear's paw for a while, then looked up at the bear's head. After Chu Hechao changed his clothes and walked out of the room, he saw this scene. He came over and said, "Do you like it? Later, someone will peel off the skin." , as a blanket for you."

Yuan Li finished watching the bear, and began to praise him in admiration, "General, you are so majestic, you can get even a black bear."

The corners of Chu Hechao's mouth curled up implicitly, and he added, "Not only is there a bear, but there is also a white boa constrictor."

White snake?

That's right, Chu Hechao seemed to have told him last night that he had caught a white snake.

Yuan Li immediately asked Chu Hechao to take him to have a look. After seeing the snake, Yuan Li recognized it as an albino golden python.

The white boa constrictor is indeed beautiful, and Yuanli likes it very much.But the first time he saw the white snake, Yuanli remembered Liu Bang who killed the white snake uprising.

Because of this sudden thought, after seeing the snake, Yuan Li said: "Let someone raise this snake properly."

Seeing that he liked it, Chu Hechao was also happy, so he directly called someone to ask him to put the white snake in the forest for captivity.

After washing up, Yuan Li and Chu Hechao hid in the corner and kissed him as promised.

Because Chu Wang and his wife had just left, this kiss was extremely pure and without lust.Yuan Li swallowed, and pushed Chu Hechao, "Are you still taking people to the mountain to cut firewood today?"

"A lot of trees were cut down yesterday, and some of them haven't been brought back," Chu Hechao rubbed his brows and said, "Just let the soldiers do such trivial things. Do you want to go with me?"

Yuan Li shook his head and said in a low voice: "I found a coal mountain, shall I take someone to dig coal today?"

Chu Hechao frowned, "You still sent someone to find coal?"

His expression became meaningful, "Mr. Yuan Le, you have a lot of secrets. Tell me, what do you mean by boyfriend?"

Yuanli pondered for a while, he didn't like to hide secrets with his lover very much, but the systematic things were obviously incomprehensible to an ancient man.

In the end, Yuan Li said calmly: "I do have a lot of secrets, but I haven't figured out how to tell you yet. When I figure out how to explain it to you, can I tell you?"

Men don't speak.

Yuan Li called out, "Brother."

Chu Hechao retreated again and again, rubbing his temples, and easily accepted the statement, "Okay, okay, whatever you say, don't call me so sticky, your brother's goosebumps are getting up."

Yuan Li stared at the smile on his lips and rolled his eyes, "Boyfriend means my man."

Chu Hechao clicked his tongue, "It's very interesting."

After the kiss came back, Yuanli's parents were already waiting in the dining hall.

Yuan Song and the Chen family have been living with Chu Hechao in Yuanli since they came to Ji County.They originally wanted to move out, but because their son and Chu Hechao had been busy with the funeral and government affairs of the Chu king and his wife, they didn't say anything, for fear of disturbing Yuanli.

Seeing that the matter in Yuanli had come to an end, Chu Hechao also seemed to have come out of the pain of his parents' death. At the dinner table, Yuan Song said that he wanted to move out.

Yuan Li originally wanted to persuade him to stay, but looking at Yuan Song's appearance, he knew that his father was not being polite, but really wanted to leave.

Also, the Yuan family felt uncomfortable living with Chu Hechao.The Yuan family brought back a lot of people and things from Ruyang, and it wasn't because they didn't have the money to buy a manor, but because they felt it would be more convenient to live by themselves.

Yuan Li thought about it for a second, his relationship with Chu Hechao was not pure, and if Yuan Song and Chen Shi really found out, it would be a disaster.

Yuan Li said: "If you really want to move out, I will find you a good house today."

"You don't need to look for it," Yuan Song couldn't suppress the smile on his lips in front of his young son who is already the governor of Yizhou. He said cheerfully, "I have already taken a look at a mansion."

Yuan Li asked, "Where is the mansion?"

After Yuan Song finished speaking, Yuan Li nodded thoughtfully and said, "That place is not bad."

With Yuan Li's approval, Yuan Song was even more happy, he couldn't help asking: "Li'er, will you live with us?"

Chu Hechao's hand holding the chopsticks was slightly invisible.

Mrs. Chen also couldn't help persuading her in a soft voice: "Li'er, what your father said is true. You should also live with us. Mother hasn't seen you for almost two years. Now your father and I are here It's over, don't you come with us?"

"Uncle, aunt," Chu Hechao put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed over by the servant and wiped his hands, with a calm expression, "The Chu Palace has been repaired, although Le Jun is your son, he is also my sister-in-law. It's really not good to live in Chu Wangfu."

Yuan Song also thought of this episode, he sighed deeply, "The general said that too."

"Please rest assured, both of you," Chu Hechao said, "I will take good care of Mr. Le."

Yuan Song did not expect that this fierce and arrogant general would be so humble and courteous, and his affection for Chu Hechao rose sharply for a while, and he said gratefully, "Then Yuan will thank the general on behalf of my son."

Chen Shi also smiled at Chu Hechao, and thanked him warmly.But when she returned to the room with Yuan Song after dinner, she couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Yuan Song scolded in a low voice: "Okay, why are you crying?"

Chen choked up and said: "You are only proud of your son's high position outside, and he has done such a thing at a young age. Have you ever felt sorry for Li'er's difficulties? Look at the past ten days when we came to Youzhou, Li'er Have you ever had a moment of free time? He is only 19 years old, he knows everything inside and outside the house, and he has to do everything by himself. As a mother, I can only see him occasionally at dinner. In a few days, take a look at how much he has lost weight. It’s fine if we’re not in Youzhou, now we’re in Youzhou, and I can’t live with Li’er, can I feel bad?”

Yuan Song hated iron for being weak and said: "Isn't it good for Li'er to strive for success? How many times did you beg with your natal family, and how much effort did you put in to give Li'er a chance to enter the Imperial College? After you became the governor's mother , forget all these hardships?”

Chen was still crying.

Yuan Song sighed, and knew that she knew it in her heart, but it was just a moment of discomfort.After all the calculations, their son is not yet 20 years old.

He didn't say anything anymore, after all, how could a mother not feel sorry for her son.

On the same day, Yuanli took people to Meishan to dig coal.

The system was very generous and gave him a lot of coal.Yuanli found the right place and asked people to start digging. It didn't take long to dig, and the black coal was revealed.

This coal mountain was named "Black Volcano" by Yuanli. As time passed, more and more coal was dug from the Black Volcano, and two full warehouses were piled up.After the autumn harvest, the taxes collected in Youzhou were sent to Ji County as quickly as possible, and the granaries in Youzhou were full.

This year's harvest was good, especially the yield of potatoes, which shocked everyone's jaws.

The people also saw the production of potatoes with their own eyes. In order to let them accept the potatoes, Yuanli even roasted the freshly dug potatoes in the fire under the watchful eyes of the people, and ate one on the spot.

The soft and glutinous fragrance followed the wind, making many people swallow their saliva.

Yuanli kept [-]% of the potatoes as the potato seeds that the government will provide for the common people to grow next spring.

He took out some of the remaining potatoes and distributed them to his subordinates, parents and relatives, as well as to eat in his own house.Most of them were circulated among the common people by people sent by him, along with the potatoes, as well as the eating methods and precautions of potatoes.

People who are used to hunger are harsh and careless when it comes to eating. They don't dare to eat something they don't know, but they will never take any trouble if they are sure to eat something.

And potatoes are not troublesome to eat, you just need to pay attention to whether the potatoes germinate or not.

In addition to potatoes, mature cotton was also picked by Yuanli.No one knew what the cotton was used for, and Yuan Li didn't say anything. He just recruited women in Ji County to sew cotton clothes, and encouraged women to earn some spare money during the off-season.

Hearing that there is money to be made and that they are doing things for the government, many women from other families came here.Yuanli specially built a workshop for them to sew cotton-padded clothes in the workshop. The beauty of the Yu family who stayed in the Chu Palace was outstanding in embroidery, so Yuanli asked her to lead all the women to work.

At this time, the articles written by Zhang Liangdong for Youzhou had spread to several surrounding states, and gradually spread outward.

Just as Yuan Li thought, people in the world will only have one attitude towards Li Li.After their proclamation came out, the "righteous people" in various states and counties took the initiative to lend a helping hand, angrily accusing Li Lilang of being a dog, killing Zhongliang, and intending to buy the general and the governor of Youzhou.

From north to south, Li Li's notoriety became worse and worse.

Under Zhang Liangdong's persuasion, Xiang Hongyun simply stayed with him in Youzhou to write articles and play chess, and occasionally offered some valuable suggestions to Yuanli, but his attitude towards Yuanli was more polite and did not stop there. Recognize the Lord.

After the autumn harvest, the soldiers sent by Yuanli to various places to buy grain also came back with cartloads of grain.

There was too much grain, and the warehouses originally prepared were not enough, and several warehouses were built overnight to accommodate the grain purchased from Bingzhou, Yizhou, Qingzhou and other places.

These grains are all new grains, which can be stored for at least four years. If they are kept properly, they may be stored for a longer period of time.In fact, Yuanli is not worried about the problem of food hoarding. In his opinion, even if there is no snow disaster this year, there will be disasters in the next winter.Even if it is true that there will be no snow disaster next year and everything is just his wrong guess, then it doesn't matter.

In troubled times, food is hard currency.They and Li Li will definitely have a tough battle to fight within three years, and the food will come in handy sooner or later.Because he knew what to do, even though he spent one-third of his savings for this, Yuanli felt it was worth it.

However, in the eyes of others, these grains, which can last the entire Youzhou for ten years, are obviously too crazy.

Even the most rational Liu Jixin couldn't help persuading Yuanli several times, but Yuanli never compromised.After going on like this again and again, Liu Jixin's heart has gradually sank.

He wasn't worried about food. When it came down to it, what Liu Jixin was most worried about was Yuanli's attitude of not listening to anyone's advice arbitrarily. He was anxious, but because of his trust in Yuanli, Liu Jixin suppressed his anxiety. .

Yuanli will not do things that are not sure.

He recalled the heavy rain, and then recalled the potato planted in Yuanli, and tried to persuade himself, but finally held back.

At the end of October, Wu Kai, Zhong Ji and others who went to exterminate the Yishan Army also returned.

After Wu Kai came back, he didn't have time to go home to see Yun Niang, so he went to see Yuanli in the palace of the Prince of Chu, and talked with Yuanli about the annihilation of the Yishan Army. You already know about our going to suppress the bandits."

Yuan Li nodded, not surprised, "It took you a full month to suppress the bandits before destroying the Yishan Army. If Che Kangbo didn't know what you were doing this month, he should stop being the governor of Yanzhou. "

Wu Kai breathed a sigh of relief, "After we defeated the Yishan Army, Che Kangbo's personal soldiers came to Yishan and took over the disposal of the follow-up Yishan Army. The prisoners have been taken away by Che Kangbo."

It is equivalent to beating the bandits for nothing, and in the end they didn't even get a prisoner.

Yuan Li smiled, "Didn't you ask Che Kangbo for some rewards?"

Wu Kai was stunned, "Can we get it?"

Yuan Li laughed loudly, "As long as you open your mouth, of course you can get it. But we don't want to stab him in the heart again just for this little reward. If the captive is given to him, he will give it to him. I won't let you work in vain."

"It's not a waste of time," Wu Kai smiled embarrassedly, "Before Che Kangbo's men arrived, we had already snatched everything from the Yishan Army's bandit den as spoils of war."

Yuan Li said hello, and with a smile on his face, let Wu Kai go down to rest first.

That night, Yuanli held a celebration banquet for Wu Kai and Zhong Ji.At the banquet, everyone rejoiced and drank together. Xiang Hongyun watched them being so friendly and lively, and slowly sipped his wine, feeling a little touched in his heart.

After autumn, the cold winter comes more and more quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is already December.

On December [-]th, a heavy snowfall suddenly fell in Youzhou.
