Zhaocai said to Chen Yaohui: "Uncle village chief, ask them to drive back the coffin and paper money. The emperor died and wanted to hang a white linen. Let's buy the white linen quickly. If we don't buy it later, we will be in trouble."

"Thank you for reminding me, I haven't thought of it yet, I'll go and let them go first!"

Zhaocai and Chen Yaohui rushed to the cloth store and saw that there were already about ten people buying linen in the cloth store. After waiting for a while, they bought a few pieces of white linen and hurried back home.

Zhaocai and Chen Yaohui returned to the village. Chen Zhong and the others had already told the village about the emperor's death. For a while, every household in the village hung up white cloths, which reflected the white snow in the ground. The entire Fengming Village became a vast expanse of white. .

Zhou Jia hung up the white cloth and turned around and went to Li Yu's house. Li Yu was leaning on the kang bed and looking at an account book. After Zhou Jia sat down next to Li Yu, he said, "Yu'er, do you think it's the young master who takes over?" Already?"

Li Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, "Xiao Xi, you see the refugees are causing chaos and there are no officers and soldiers to suppress it. If the young master comes to power, General Shen will definitely send troops to suppress the chaos. If another prince comes to power, Dayong will probably fall into eternal disaster. "

"Yes, Shen Wu said that Daqi troops are pressing down on the country, and Qingzhou is also in turmoil, but Shen Jiajun is nowhere to be seen. It depends on whether the government will come forward to appease the victims who were at the gate of the city a few years ago."

Zhou Jia saw Li Yu lowering his head in thought and couldn't help but hold Li Yu's hand and said passionately: "Yu'er, let's get married!"

Li Yu gave him a blank look, "There is still Bai outside! You just want to get married, not the fame! Besides, we have agreed that we will get married when I am eighteen."

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and sighed, "Oh! We have to wait for almost two years! I want to wake up every morning and see you when I open my eyes."

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia with a smile, "It's just two doors away. You can see me when you wake up in the morning!"

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with a look of resentment, "It's different. As soon as that kid A Qing sees me coming, he guards me like a thief. If you don't believe it, you can wait a few seconds before that kid comes." "Yes," Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand and smiled wickedly, "If I marry you back, you will be my wife. Let's see if he is still guarding me every day."

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia cheating on him like a child, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You'd better find a day to settle Ruyi and Xiaoyu's marriage first! I don't want to see Xiaoyu's resentment anymore. The look in his eyes."

Zhou Jia calculated it and said, "It'll be over in three months. Fish, wishful thinking, good luck, and wealth, are nominally my servants. They grew up with me and are actually closer than brothers. Their Marriage is also a big deal in my family, and I will come to propose marriage in person."

Li Yu thought of the relationship between several people and Zhou Jia, nodded and smiled, "It should be..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qing ran in, squeezed Zhou Jia away, sat next to Li Yu, and looked at Li Yu with a smile, "Sister, are you hungry? I roasted the taro and it's almost ready. , I’ll bring some in for you.”

Zhou Jia squeezed Li Qing away again, "You brat, why didn't you just bring it in before it's cooked?"

Li Qing twisted his head and looked at Zhou Jia, "No, I will go to school after the Chinese New Year. You can see my sister at home every day. I am only at home these days."

Li Yu said to the two of them with a smile: "Stop arguing, let's all go roast the taro and eat it."

After hearing this, Li Qing glanced at Zhou Jia proudly and thought: Humph! This is my sister, you still want to rob me.

Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing: Brat, let me make you proud for two years.

New Year's Eve arrived in a blink of an eye, and the New Year was deserted. The only thing that made Li Yu happy was that the gate of Tongzhou City was opened, and the government came forward to place the victims in a temple outside the city, and also distributed Relief food and cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

Officers and soldiers began to dispatch to exterminate the bandits, and the area in Tongzhou soon became stable.

Zhou Jia brought the dozen or so bandits to the city with a fortune-enhancing gift. When they walked to the city gate, they saw a notice announcing that the legitimate son of the late emperor had ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the whole world. The heinous people would not be pardoned.

After reading it, Zhou Jia thought: Although he had expected that the third prince would take the throne, he still breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the announcement.

Zhou Jia went home and told Li Yu the news, "Yu'er, your analysis is really right. Now we can feel at ease."

Li Yu also smiled happily after hearing this, "Yes! Now everyone has a stable life, and you should prepare well to participate in the next Spring Festival!"

Time flies, and the winter wheat planted in Hujia Village begins to turn green and tiller after the beginning of spring.

The people in Hujiacun shed tears of excitement when they saw that the barren mountains of previous years had turned into green fertile fields.

In the blink of an eye, he began to breed rice seeds. Old man Hu led the villagers to open two more barren hills and went to Fengming Village to learn from Li Yu how to breed rice seeds.

Old man Hu saw the wild rice that Li Yu was drying in the yard, and asked strangely: "Girl, is it useful to take some wild rice home?"

Li Yu smiled, "I just like collecting these things and want to try them all."

Old Man Hu was thoughtful after hearing this.

After harvesting the winter wheat, Old Man Hu took the men, women, and children in the village to thank Li Yu, carrying freshly ground white flour on their backs.

After seeing this, people in the village said, "Hujia Village used to rely on petty theft to get by. Now you see that they are growing food, and they all carry white noodles on their backs to thank Xiaoyu."

Some people are thinking, Xiaoyu has helped us so much, why haven’t we thought of thanking her? But it was only a momentary thought, and then it was forgotten.

When it was time to harvest new rice, Li Yu took Zhou Jia to the more than ten acres of breeding fields left this year.

The two walked around the breeding field twice. Li Yu looked at the new rice he had cultivated, with heavy golden ears hanging upside down from the rice stalks.

Li Yu pulled Zhou Jia excitedly, "Xiao Xi, look, that field was planted with the best rice seeds. It grows longer than other rice ears, and the grains are fuller. Each ear is deflated." There are only a few grains, and the one here is the rice cultivated after crossing with wild rice, and it is longer than the ordinary rice ears."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's excited smile, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and looked at Li Yu excitedly, "Yu'er, I estimate that the yield of these fields will be at least seven or eight stones of millet. Compared with ordinary The difference in rice production is huge, it takes at least a few more stones of rice to be harvested per acre of land.”

"It seems that there is no problem with Qishi rice. After optimization next year, the yield should be higher." Li Yu suddenly thought that if he specially cultivated rice seeds and sold them, it would be a very profitable business!

Li Yu pulled Zhou Jia and said, "Xiao Xi, I have an idea. Let's go back and tell you."

Zhou Jia saw Li Yu smiling like a cat stealing fish, and also laughed, "Okay, I'd like to hear what good ideas you have."

When the two arrived home, Li Yu was sweating profusely. Zhou Jia quickly took a cattail leaf fan to fan Li Yu.

Li Yu said to Zhou Jia: "Xiao Xi, once the rice seeds are selected for another year, all those fields will be planted with new rice seeds. From now on, we will specialize in cultivating rice seeds. We can also make a lot of income by selling rice seeds." .”
