Elder Brother Shi blushed immediately when he heard this, and quickly defended, "Emiang, I admire Qiqige, I am grateful to Qiqige, but I also know that Qiqige is older than me, and she is also Brother Seven's fianc¨¦e, why would I be thinking wildly?" Woolen cloth?"
Hearing her son's words, Concubine Wen Xi smiled, "It's fine if you don't. Although my son is not a smart person, Er Niang hopes that you can become a proper person."
Elder Brother Ten nodded, "Okay, Ma'am, I'll make a note."
Coming out of the Jingyang Palace, it was already dark outside, and the ten elder brother Yinji looked up at the sky.
The stars in the sky are shining brightly, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and the climate is suitable. For some reason, why do I feel a little melancholy?
The seventh elder brother who was far away on the border received a letter from the tenth elder brother Yinji. Although he didn't say it clearly, Shen Bingzhu could see the tenth elder brother's gratitude.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Shen Bingzhu understood the reason why Liu Yiyi rescued Concubine Wen Xi.
With Concubine Wen Xi here, she can fight against Concubine Tong, and Eniang's pressure is very small, so she doesn't have to take the conspiracy to face Concubine Tong.
Although very impatient, there is no other way but to postpone the wedding.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed!
At the end of summer, the prince and the seventh elder brother finally reached an agreement with Tsarist Russia to use the land already occupied as the boundary.
Despite signing the treaty, neither the prince nor Kangxi believed that Tsarist Russia would keep its word. Hence the mass migration to the frontier that begins in the spring.
Many people migrated from Henan and the caves. As long as they come, each person will have 30 mu of land, and they will be given a settling allowance of five taels of silver per person, and there will be no tax for three years.
With the implementation of Kangxi's policy of light corvee, thin tax and never increasing tax, the population in the customs is increasing, so the per capita land is getting less and less.
There are more than a dozen people in a large family and only a few acres of land. In addition to paying taxes, some of them can¡¯t even eat enough. Adult men can only look for jobs to fill their stomachs outside and earn a little money.
The woman weaves and spins at home to do embroidery to subsidize the family, but she is still very poor.
Therefore, when they heard that the imperial court moved people to the Northeast and gave land and money, many people signed up. The family who had no land in the local area sold their house directly and followed the court's absolute decision to go to the border.
Some have land in the local area, but not many, but there are many sons in the family, so the family is separated, and those who are willing to go out and make a living can go there.
Because of the good publicity, hundreds of thousands of people came in one spring.
A lot of land has been reclaimed, soybeans and corn are planted, and the seeds are distributed by the imperial court. Although there is only one season, each household harvests a lot of grain because of the large amount of land.
While planting crops, he did not forget to build a house.
Shen Bingzhu did not take out the real cement, but used soil cement, which is better for burning paper and cheaper.
It turns out that building a house is strong, cheap, and durable.
Improve the iron plow to make it more efficient and lighter. If there are cattle and horses, it can be used; if there are no cattle and horses, people will pull the plow in front, and someone will support the iron plow behind.
Seeing that Lao Qi is good at doing these things, the prince handed over all the work of arranging the people to the seventh elder brother.
Shen Bingzhu was also tired of fighting and killing, so he took Baozhu and began to plan and resettle these villagers.
With Shen Bingzhu's deployment, although there are hundreds of thousands of people, all work is progressing steadily. Some people embezzled and placed money. After finding out, Shen Bingzhu was tied up and arrested several times in a row. Only then did he guarantee that all the money would be distributed to the common people.
Baozhu looked at the corn in the field, which had already begun to ear, and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, time flies, it's already the end of summer."
Shen Bingzhu smiled and said: "Yes, in a few months, these corns will be harvested. With these grains, a house, and a well-built kang, these ordinary people can survive here.
The agreements signed with Tsarist Russia cannot be said to be ineffective, but as long as people are arranged to keep an eye on Tsarist Russia, there is no big problem. "
Baozhu nodded, "Yes, I hope these grains can mature sooner. When they are harvested, the local grains can be self-sufficient, and save the trouble of transporting grains from the interior."
"Others are easy to talk about. How to resist the harassment of small cavalry troops from Tsarist Russia is a difficult problem." Shen Bingzhu said, "I think the men in each village form a militia, and they take turns patrolling and standing guard at night and during the day. Build resistance."
Baozhu praised, "Uncle Qi, this is a good idea!"
? After a series of deployment arrangements and implementation, it finally stabilizedsettle down. When autumn comes, the corn, soybeans, and sorghum are ripe, and the common people are happy to start harvesting.
Unexpectedly, in the first year, the granary was filled with grain.
There is no need to pay taxes for three years, and the grain harvested belongs to the common people.
The imperial court bought food from the local people, and the people made money, and they wanted to buy other things. Free markets gradually formed, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The crown prince triumphantly returns to court.
Prince Yinreng was very happy. This was his first personal conquest, and he had achieved such an achievement, whether it was military affairs or farming and people's livelihood, it was remarkable.
Seventh elder brother can finally rest, sitting in the carriage, very disfigured.
Sitting in the carriage, the crown prince asked Fifth Prince, Seventh Prince, and Eighth Prince to come over and play chess together.
The prince's carriage is big enough for four people to sit in it without feeling crowded.
Shen Bingzhu waved his hand, "When you play chess, I just want to lie down, recharge my energy, and return to the capital. I want to get married."
Eighth elder brother smiled and said: "Seventh brother, your body is very weak, go back and ask Qiqige to make up for you."
Shen Bingzhu glanced at Eighth Brother, smiled, "I was so tired, but I'm not as lucky as you, I'm not tired when I'm free!"
Eighth elder brother shook his head, "I don't agree with that, and I'm doing something. Anyway, seventh brother should take it easy, younger brother is also thinking of you."
Shen Bingzhu looked at the eighth elder brother with a half-smile, and said, "Brother, I thank you for your concern."
Every time Shen Bingzhu and the eighth elder brother talked, they were always a little bit at odds.
The crown prince and the fifth elder brother were already used to the way they got along, they shook their heads and laughed, and didn't mix it up.
Eighth elder brother can always be slick when getting along with other people, but when facing seventh elder brother, he can't always be calm.
Obviously there is only one year difference between the two, but in terms of knowledge, martial arts, and achievements, the eighth elder brother is much behind the seventh elder brother.
From the bottom of his heart, Eighth Prince is very jealous.
Always being compared by others, obviously he is also very good, but under the comparison of Seventh Brother, he becomes bleak.
Even referring to the object of marriage, Eighth Prince tried his best to settle on the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le.
She has a noble status and a beautiful appearance, far surpassing Qiqige.
This point makes Eighth Brother feel a little more comfortable. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
