Early spring in the world [farming]

It wasn't until the sun was shining that Su Beigu appeared at Jia's house again, but this time she was the only one who came. Jia's wife couldn't see Tan Ruyi and asked, "Where's the other priest?"

"She's not a female crown." Su Beigu just denied Tan Ruyi's Taoist status and didn't reveal anything else. She turned her head and asked about Jia Yuanwai's situation.

Jia Yuan's ruddy complexion was obviously not entirely due to the effect of the [Anshen Formation], but was caused by emotional agitation.He said: "The Taoist priest is very skilled in spells. Last night I wore this talisman and slept very soundly at night, and I didn't have any nightmares!"

"That's good." Su Bei Gu nodded, she still had some confidence in her formation.

"However, is this the work of evil spirits?" Jia Yuanwai was still a little uneasy, if the evil spirits were not eradicated, he would not feel at ease with the talisman!What if that evil spirit turns around and harms his family?

Su Beigu suspected that he had listened to those rumors and was preconceived and suspicious, causing a psychological burden.Talismans can only solve temporary troubles, but if the problem is not solved from the root cause, there will still be some troubles in the follow-up.

So Su Bei Gu, who has always been reluctant to practice rituals, made an exception and made a ritual ceremony. Of course, this is on the surface. In fact, in order not to earn money from Jia's family in vain, she used a principle similar to "Icing Formation" to set up Jia's family. A small array that can properly increase the temperature will not consume too much spiritual energy due to the small temperature change.

To be on the safe side, she also said to Jia Yuanwai: "I didn't feel the presence of evil, but I still set up a small formation, as long as I don't move the formation's eyes, it will be fine."

Whether it was a psychological effect or not, Jia Yuanwai and Jia's wife obviously felt that the surrounding temperature had risen a bit, and it was not as gloomy and cold as before.

They feel more and more that Su Beigu said these words to comfort them, but it is undeniable that Su Beigu is really good, and they feel that they are looking for Taizhenguan this time!

If Su Beigu knew what they were thinking, he would definitely tell them that the reason why they felt gloomy was because the weather had cooled down and the house was old. There are air leaks in places, and the house has lost its thermal insulation effect when it was first built.

……

When Tan Ruyi woke up, she found that the side beside her was empty.It took her a long time to remember that before she fell asleep, Su Beigu told her to go to Jia's house to let her sleep for a while when she was tired.

She got up from the bed, only feeling that the indulgence in the early morning was more unbearable than the indulgence in the evening. After all, the indulgence in the night would recover after waking up, and the indulgence in the early morning would still be a little tired even if she slept again.

In addition, when she got up, her head buzzed for a while, and she felt a little dizzy, and then she remembered that she hadn't even eaten breakfast.

Looking up from the window, from the perspective of sunlight, it was past noon.

"Hiss..." Seeing the hickey marks on her body, Tan Ruyi was so ashamed that she hid back under the covers again, but after thinking about it, Su Beigu was not there, so why was she so shy?

So she got up and was about to put on her clothes, but just as she put on the panties and wiped her belly, she heard footsteps outside, and immediately hid on the bed again in fright.

Su Beigu pushed the door open and came in, holding some steaming and fragrant food in his hands, Tan Ruyi was hooked immediately, and her stomach thumped untimely.

Seeing that she was awake, Su Bei smiled slightly: "I thought you weren't awake, so you need to sleep more."

Tan Ruyi couldn't help but angrily said: "It's all your fault, once we agreed... If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have slept for so long."

Seeing that there was no shop assistant outside the house, she continued to get up and get dressed.

"Well, my fault." When Tan Ruyi got dressed, Su Beigu had already arranged the food and walked over.Seeing the new red marks on her neck, Su Bei's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry." Tan Ruyi hooked Su Beigu's hand, and after a while, the two of them clasped their fingers together again.

They were immersed in this sweet and greasy atmosphere, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Su Bei said, "Then let's eat after washing up!"

Tan Ruyi had to hug Su Beigu for a while before she was willing to wash up. In the past, Su Beigu would never have such intimacy with other people for such a long time, but after accepting that the two are lovers, she In the experience of getting along with my teacher's wife, I think this is normal, so my psychological acceptance is very fast.

Fortunately, Tan Ruyi didn't know that Su Beigu's way of getting along with her was to learn from others. However, Su Beigu had never been attracted to anyone before, let alone fell in love with anyone. I'm afraid that even a hundred years may not be able to enlighten me, and the way of getting along with most lovers in the world, is there no reference from the experience of the predecessors?

After solving the hunger problem, Tan Ruyi asked, "Is the Jia family's affairs settled?"

"Well, it's dealt with."

Tan Ruyi was silent for a moment, and asked, "Then shall we go back to the Taoist temple?"

"No hurry, it's rare to go down the mountain, let's take a stroll."

Tan Ruyi's mood immediately improved.Although throwing Lu Xuehuan in the Taoist temple feels sorry for her, there is no such a good opportunity to have a romantic relationship with Su Beigu alone in the Taoist temple. For the happiness of my daughter, please forgive her as a mother!

Before going out, Su Beigu put his cloak on Tan Ruyi, and gathered the circle of rabbit fur around his neck.

Tan Ruyi frowned and said, "It's cold, you don't have to give it to me."

Su Bei cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "I'm not cold, let me cover your neck."

Tan Ruyi reacted belatedly, remembering the sound Su Bei made when he gnawed on her neck, there must be red marks all over it!

Tan Ruyi no longer refused the other party's cloak, but she was afraid that Su Beigu would catch a cold, so she went straight to the tailor shop to buy a cloak for Su Beigu after going out.

The cloak couldn't cover the neck, so Su Beigu didn't ask Tan Ruyi to wear the cloak instead.

They inspected the condition of cotton-padded clothes after the launch of the cotton gin at the ready-to-wear store, and found that there were indeed a lot more cotton-padded clothes this year than in previous years, and the price was also reduced compared to the Taiping years, so more people bought cotton-padded clothes .

With the promotion of the cotton gin, Su Beigu believes that the price reduction of cotton is inevitable, because the increase in production level will inevitably reduce the labor cost paid, and the increase in efficiency will also enable a large amount of cotton to be listed in a short period of time, thus contributing to the Cut prices, stimulate consumption...

Tan Ruyi: "..."

She didn't understand, but it seemed to make sense.

"Actually, there is another reason why the government is willing to help promote the cotton gin." Su Bei Gu said.

Tan Ruyi listened curiously.

"Do you know what the government is most worried about?"

Tan Ruyi glared at her: "Don't be tricky."

"The most worrying thing is that people have land and don't go to farm, but become landless refugees. They make a living by doing short-term labor for others. They have no fixed residence and are extremely mobile. This will have a huge impact on the court's tax collection and maintenance of order. Therefore. The more the cotton gin is promoted, the less manpower is required for all the workshops, and the benefits brought by the cotton planting industry will also increase, prompting more people to grow cotton. Although it is impossible to persuade all customers to go back Farming, but there will always be people who will return to farming under the temptation of profit."

After all, it is an agrarian society. Only when the common people guard one-third of an acre of land and do not cause trouble, will the society be stable and the rich and powerful will feel at ease.

Su Bei paused and changed the topic: "But there are no absolutes in the world. The promotion of the cotton gin has both advantages and disadvantages for the government. The advantages are just mentioned; the disadvantage is that the increase in cotton will give birth to the cotton textile industry. Development, so the manpower needed for those workshops and workshops will also increase..."

Tan Ruyi frowned: "In this way, some people will leave the good land instead of farming, but go to work in the workshop?"

"Yes, and in the long run, this will do more harm than good to the government. In the short term, those who make a living outside will be affected by the appearance of the cotton gin and choose to return to the fields, but after a long time, The handicraft industry will require more and more manpower, and if the people find that the benefits of working in workshops are higher than farming, then more and more people will flow to the handicraft industry.”

Su Bei Gudao, "So you have to be mentally prepared. The government will help promote the cotton gin, but they won't help all the time. They may restrict the promotion of the cotton gin. I think the magistrate of Qiu County may report to Tan The state knows the state, but the latter will never report it to the imperial court."

Regardless of whether it is commercial tax or regular tax, as long as it is raised, it is a political achievement.If the prefect of Tanzhou is that kind of utilitarian person, he will take this achievement privately and prevent other states from robbing him.

Moreover, the life of the people in Tanzhou is better, and the cotton production is more, so there will be more merchants who come to Tanzhou to buy cotton, and more people will flow into Tanzhou from other state capitals.

In this way, the population of Tanzhou will also increase, which is another political achievement.

As for the future, the current magistrate can't control so much.

Tan Ruyi pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, anyway, the Tan family can't rely on a cotton gin for a lifetime."

Now that the cotton gin has just been launched and there is still a market, it is natural to make a fortune first. As for the future, I can't worry about it now.

What's more, Subei Gu also worked out a threshing machine. Isn't this better sold than the cotton gin and more likely to be promoted by the government?

Tan Ruyi suddenly asked: "Bei Gu, there is something I haven't asked you all this time. The reason why you bother composting so much isn't to show off your formation, is it? Is it related to the increase in late rice production this year?"

Subei Gu smiled: "Actually, the function of this formation is not to increase food production. I want to use agricultural fertilizers to promote the absorption of the essence of the sun and the moon by the crops. In this way, the crops are easy to produce aura, and the grains of the five grains It can lock a part of the spiritual energy, and after eating these five grains, it will be helpful to practice. Of course, I am still experimenting, and I have not confirmed that this method is feasible."

Tan Ruyi immediately understood why she told Lu Xuehuan not to sell the rice. How could such a good thing be sold casually?And for Su Beigu, eating it is helpful for cultivation, so will ordinary people have other effects if eating it?

She thought so, so she asked.

Su Bei Gu said: "It is beneficial, but the effect is not obvious."

Ordinary people in the world of cultivating immortals eat those five grains, at most they can relieve some illnesses and slightly improve their physical fitness. For those cultivating immortals, these effects are irrelevant, and they value the effect of the five grains on their cultivation.

What's more, her five grains are not as good as the five grains planted by Zhao Jiu, who was the first to develop this cultivation method.

But she forgot at the moment that it can relieve pain and slightly improve physical fitness. For the common people, these five grains are equivalent to a great tonic that prolongs life.

What Tan Ruyi thought was that since Su Beigu valued cultivation so much, the rice from the Su family would be a huge temptation for her, so as long as the Su family still had those rice, she would not worry whether Su Beigu would return to Fuqiu Township.

Although the idea of ​​keeping Su Beigu by his side was a little despicable, Tan Ruyi couldn't help but feel happy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Bei Gu Cai and Tan Ruyi ended their day and night date and returned to the Taoist temple.

Tan Ruyi went to look for Lu Xuehuan, while Su Bei Gu went to the Hall Master's office first.As expected, I was met with curious inquiries from many fellow students: "I heard that you accepted the order, but I still don't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Su Bei Gu Chao and the others smiled and said: "I have practiced outside for a long time, and I have some insights in my heart. After I come back, I want to use this to improve my state of mind. If I can make a breakthrough in my cultivation in the future, that would be great."

The same door sighed: "It's really you!"

They saw the shadow of the former master Chunhua Master in Su Bei Gu's body, and they always felt that Su Bei Gu Feisheng was younger than Chun Hua Master, of course, they were not cursing Su Bei Gu to die early.Outsiders may think that ascension is death, but these Taoist priests who firmly believe in the theory of heaven and immortality think that ascension to immortality is a good thing.

Suddenly, all the female Taoist priests fell silent, Su Bei looked back, and it was indeed her nominal master Wen Yingxiu who came over.

Su Bei Gu Xingli: "Master."

Wen Yingxiu's eyes flicked past her, and said to the female Taoist priests: "Go do your own thing!"

All the female Taoist priests dispersed one after another, Wen Yingxiu took a look at Su Bei and said, "Follow me."

Su Beigu, who had always been docile, suddenly rebelled: "Master, I'm a little tired after finishing the ritual, and I want to go back and rest first."

Wen Yingxiu paused, but she was not unhappy, after all, Su Beigu's face was indeed a little pale.She said: "Knowing that my body can't support such a spell, don't take the order next time. You go back!"

After Su Beigu left, he went to Lu Xuehuan's first to let her know that she was fine, and then asked her if she would feel bored in the Taoist temple.

Lu Xue happily shared her day's itinerary with her, saying: "Where is it boring? I heard a lot about you from the priests, and I have never heard of things that I have never understood before. It is very interesting to hear. .”

I didn't have the chance to grow up with Su Bei Gu before, but now I can't make up for it?

"Let Ruyi take you to the mountains tomorrow!" Su Bei looked at Tan Ruyi, who had been watching her all the time, and when she saw her looking over, he blinked his eyes and released his silky gaze.

Of course, it was only for a short while before Tan Ruyi returned to normal.In front of Lu Xuehuan's eyes, she was dazzled by lust, she thought she could do it, right?

After Su Bei went back to her room, Tan Ruyi found an opportunity to sneak into her room again, and sighed, "It's so cold without your bed, I'm cold."

Su Bei Gu Meifeng picked it up, thinking that Tan Ruyi knew she wouldn't do anything in the Taoist temple, so she said such unscrupulous words to seduce people, right? !

She said, "Otherwise, I'll take another order?"

Tan Ruyi: "..."

It is not impossible.

She said with some regret: "Farewell. Just now, the godmother asked me why I had to wear a cloak inside the house. I said I was cold, and she asked me if I was sick. I need to find a Taoist priest who knows medicine in the temple to see a doctor."

Su Beigu had a smile on his lips: "Next time I will try not to leave any traces."

Tan Ruyi: "..."

Thinking about the next time so quickly, Su Daochang, who has driven meat, really... was tempted to fall by her!
