I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 431 Please have a drink

 Whether it is the Prince of Heshun County or Hu Xin'an, the son of the Prince of Heshun County, they are both very troublesome figures.

What is even more troublesome is that the concubine of Prince Heshun is also involved.

Lin Yi couldn’t figure out whether this was a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?

 He is the son-in-law of the Hu family!

 However, he is also a talker from the Liang Kingdom, so he should be cautious in his words and actions.

 You shouldn’t get involved in this kind of nonsense!

The Hu family can do whatever they like, he can't meddle in such nosy matters.

 Otherwise, if someone with a heart sees it, they will make all kinds of inexplicable interpretations, which will cause endless troubles.

 “Your Majesty,”

Hu Miaoyi looked at Lin Yi with her watery eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "Please let me make the decision for my concubine."

 “Are you still doubting my words?”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "When I say I let you make the decision, I mean I let you make the decision. There is no lie at all.

The prince is my father-in-law, and the prince is my uncle. How do you want me to make a decision?

It's better for you to handle this kind of matter yourself, and I won't interfere with it. "

 As the old saying goes: A man will be base for a lifetime, but a pig will be base for a moment.

 Punish the king?

That's Hu Miaoyi's father.

 Punish the Crown Prince?

 That's Hu Miaoyi's brother.

 Nothing you do is right!

 So, let Hu Miaoyi have the headache!

 “I don’t dare,”

Hu Miaoyi saw that Lin Yi's expression did not seem to be hypocritical, so she boldly said, "My brother is a few years older than my brother Chi, but after all he is unsatisfactory, and now he has made the house restless.

 My father is very old and will never be able to endure such torture again. "

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You, whatever you think, as long as it does not violate national laws, you can tell the people below you no matter what decision you make, and you don't need to inform me."

Hu Miaoyi said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

 In autumn, the weather is getting cooler.

With the cold north wind, there is also dust all over the sky.

Lin Yi was fishing by the river. Although the forest was very dense, it still could not block the pervasive dust.

 “Ahem.”

A gust of wind blew over, carrying dust that hit his head and face. Lin Yi waited for the wind to pass, and spit on the ground several times with his back on his back. His mouth was dry and he still felt like he couldn't spit it out completely. He looked at the turbidity. The water surface sighed and said, "The sandstorm is really killing me. It seems to be bigger than in previous years."

 He didn't know what happened to his neighbors to the north.

 Is it a population explosion? Otherwise, this sandstorm would not be so serious.

Unfortunately, in this era, without satellite positioning or soil and water conservation technology, we can only do nothing about sandstorms.

 “Your Majesty,”

Jiao Zhong carefully handed over the teapot and said with a smile, "It is said that there is a drought in Saibei this year. Not only do the cattle and sheep on the grassland have no water to drink, they don't even have enough turf to eat.

The Saibei people suffered a loss at the hands of our Sanhe army, and now they have no courage to go south. This is not a good life. "

 “Grassland drought?”

Lin Yi frowned and said, "A few days ago, where did I remember reading it?"

Jiao Zhong said, "Your Majesty, this is the weekly summary report written by Lord He Jixiang. It was read to you by my subordinates at the time."

 “Oh, I remembered it,”

Lin Yi suddenly realized, "It's been a long time. Life in Saibei and Xihuang is not easy. It is said that there is also a plague?"

Jiao Zhongdao said, "Yes, Minister Hu Shilu strictly followed the health and epidemic prevention policy of Daliang State and set up isolation points in Tea Horse Division in Liangzhou and Liangshuihe. All border personnel entering Daliang State need to be quarantined for fourteen days."

“Isolation or not, it actually doesn’t matter,”

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Unless there is a plague around Ankang City, there is no need to worry so much."

Many epidemic prevention policies and health regulations were formulated by him during the Sanhe period. Now that he has entered Ankang City, it has naturally become the law of Daliang Kingdom.

Hu Shilu is now a mature health policy executor, so Lin Yi is still very relieved sometimes.

 Besides, given the current transportation conditions and such a long distance, there are only two outcomes for patients carrying the plague virus who come to Ankang City.

Either you can survive the virus, bring your own antibodies, and come to Ankang City safely.

Either he can't carry it and he will die on the way.

Whether it is Saibei or Xihuang, it is far away from Daliang Kingdom, and there is a large area of ​​no man's land in between. Even a fast horse would have to run for ten days and a half.

 There is basically no possibility of bringing the virus to Ankang City.

 That was good in ancient times. There were no conditions for spreading the virus across the country.

 The so-called isolation is probably for the sake of prevention in the bud.

 “The prince is wise,”

After Jiao Zhong took the kettle that Lin Yi had finished drinking and put it aside, he held up a big yellow umbrella in front of Lin Yi, "It's just that Doctor Hu said that the army in the north of Saibei didn't dare to go south for fear of a large-scale attack." Refugees moved south en masse to escape the plague.”

 “Go south collectively?”

Lin Yi was startled and said bravely, "Are there any signs?"

 It won’t be a big deal if two or even dozens of people come here.

 However, it is unknown whether hundreds or thousands of people can relay the plague.

Jiao Zhongdao said, "The specific subordinates are not clear yet. Doctor Hu is also waiting for the return from the border."

Lin Yi waved his hand towards him, motioning for him to take away his umbrella, and continued to stare at the fish float on the water and said, "Send orders to the border, but no orders are given. The refugees stopped at Liangshui River.

In addition, what is Shen Chu's situation in Jinzhou? Why is there no news at all now? "

Jiao Zhongdao said, "Last month General Shen led the army to fight against King Yong. King Yong led 50,000 troops out of Jinzhou and now entered Liangzhou, and continued to advance westward with no intention of stopping.

General Shen naturally pursued him all the way. "

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Tell Mr. He Jixiang not to chase after poor bandits."

 He is not afraid of King Yong.

Rather, he was afraid of the legendary Western Wilderness, especially Xingchenhai.

He must be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and he dare not be careless.

Jiao Zhongdao said, "Yes."

Seeing Tan Fei coming, he stepped forward and let Tan Fei speak in his ear.

 After that, he returned to Lin Yi again and said with a smile, "Your Highness, then Guan Xiaoqi is here."

"Where?"

Lin Yi looked left and right, but couldn't see Guan Xiaoqi's shadow.

Jiao Zhong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Guan Xiaoqi came here on a boat. It's still one mile away from here."

"Oh I got it."

Lin Yi sat down again and looked towards the river while fishing.

 After a while, Guan Xiaoqi's figure was seen on the dusty river surface.

Lin Yi said to Jiao Zhong, "You guys, please step back."

Jiao Zhongdao said, "Yes."

 Looked at the river again before leaving.

"Hello"

From far away, Guan Xiaoqi began to wave towards Lin Yi.

When it was close, Guan Xiaoqi said loudly, "Are you really a lazy man? Don't you know how to find something to do every day to make a living?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm fat and white. It's obvious that I don't lack food and drink. Since I don't lack food and drink, why should I be busy?"

 “Why are you busying in vain?”

Guan Xiaoqi was unconvinced and said, "If you have something to eat today, how can it mean that you have something to eat tomorrow? You have to plan for tomorrow today, and save what you don't have to eat in the future."

You have absolutely no ambition at all, and you are an embarrassment to men. "

Lin Yi said, "You came all the way here just to scold me?

 Where is your father?

 Is the condition getting better? "

Hearing Lin Yi mention his father, Guan Xiaoqi said happily, "I have to thank you for this. What you said about allergies is right. My father left the cat and dog, and his body and bones have indeed healed."

 I don’t even cough anymore, thank you.

The two of us thought that in this big world, it is not easy to make a living anywhere, let alone the familiar place of Ankang City.

 Since cats and dogs are the cause of the disease, just stay away.

My father is planning to build a shack on the mountain and not live with the villagers. Otherwise, if the village does not raise cats and dogs, he will look ignorant.

 Besides, I have so many sweet potatoes at home and have been working hard all season, so it would be a pity to lose them like this. "

 “Have you just come back from sweet potato?”

Lin Yi looked at the boat full of sweet potato vines and said with a smile, "Sweet potatoes are full of treasures. From the stems and leaves to the vines, there is no part that is inedible."

 Promoting the planting of sweet potatoes in various parts of Daliang was the most correct thing he did since his rebirth.

 From ancient times to the present, food has been the most important!

With food instability, the economy will not develop and politics will not be stable!

 At that time, social turmoil will occur and people will not be able to make a living!

 Sweet potatoes are good. Just plant a few seedlings and water them, and you will be able to fully harvest them in two to three months.

In a disaster year, eating this stuff every day may be unbearable, but it’s better than starving to death, right?

 As for the harvest years, if people don’t want to eat, they can feed pigs or make wine.

In today's Ankang City, sweet potato wine is also the favorite of many poor people!

 Just because it’s cheap enough!

 “Do you like sweet potatoes?”

 Guan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I'll give you some."

Lin Yi hurriedly refused, "Thank you, I don't want it."

These days are during the sweet potato harvest. Because the output is large and not valuable, farmers and common people cannot take care of it. This makes it easier for the beggars, who just use a tree stick to plow in the field.

 Beggars who often have one meal and no next meal can always be full.

 Some people vomited on the street after eating too much.

Lin Yi almost died of nausea when he rode by on a donkey in the morning.

Especially when he occasionally walked through the crowd, he felt uncomfortable even taking a breath.

So many people eat sweet potatoes, and the smell of farts produced by so many people is really suffocating.

 In the final analysis, it is because most of the poor people live in Ankang City.

 Poor people always eat the cheapest food.

 And the people in the palace are all looking for fresh food, and they have been eating it every day these days.

Lin Yi was very helpless. He couldn't order a ban on eating sweet potatoes in the house, right?

 If such wrong instructions continue to be conveyed, there will be endless disasters in the future.

 So, he cannot prohibit others from eating, he can only try not to eat himself.

 Eating too much will really make you think of the polluted air.

　　“What, you, a lazy fellow, still dislike it?”

Guan Xiaoqi said dissatisfiedly, "It's good if you have some to eat. Sweet potatoes are not valuable, but you still have to pay two copper coins to buy a bag in the city."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I know all this. I know where your land is. When I want to eat, I will dig it myself."

"you dare!"

 Guan Xiaoqi stared and said angrily, "Don't just pick up my land.

You just pull off the leaves, but you can’t peel the sweet potatoes clean. If you leave a few of them in the ground, they will rot to death in a few days. "

Lin Yi said helplessly, "Okay, I won't do it myself, I'll wait for you to dig it out for me."

 “That’s pretty much it,”

After finishing speaking, Guan Xiaoqi hesitated and said, "My father said that he wants to thank you for your life-saving grace. He will treat you to a drink tomorrow night. Do you have free time?"

 “Would you like to invite me to a drink?”

Lin Yi said in surprise.

"you are not willing?"

 Guan Xiaoqi asked rhetorically.

 “Of course,”

Lin Yi said carelessly, "I'm not a fool. If someone invites me to a drink, there's no reason not to go. Tell your father that good wine and good food will be prepared. I will be there on time tomorrow night."

When Guan Xiaoqi heard Lin Yi talking about good wine and food, he said angrily, "You are really rude."

 “I am polite to others, who can be polite to me?”

"snort."

 Guan Xiaoqi turned his back, supported the bamboo pole, turned the bow of the boat, and slowly went away.

Lin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In the evening, the dust became heavier and heavier. Lin Yi's body and mouth were full of sand. He didn't want to continue fishing anymore, so he hurried back to his house.

As soon as I got home, heavy rain came, washing the gray sky.

Lin Yi leaned back on his chair and looked at the heavy rain. He beat the child in his arms rhythmically and sang, "It's raining outside.

 Like my heart’s blood dripping,

 I have loved you for so long,

 In fact, it is not easy to calculate.

 It means dividing things up.”

 Singing and singing, he walked away, making Mingyue next to him laugh.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I haven't sung for many years, and I can't even remember what the score is."

 “Your Majesty,”

Mingyue took the baby from Lin Yi's arms, handed it to the wet nurse next to her, and said, "Feed it once an hour, don't forget it again."

 The wet nurse hurriedly responded.

Mingyue then turned back to Lin Yi and said, "My lord, I heard that you have fallen in love with a woman?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You are quite well-informed."

Mingyue smiled and said, "It's their good fortune to be valued by the prince. However, prince, you still have to allow me to say a word. I heard that you agreed to attend the banquet?"

 The sanitary situation in this village is worrying. Even if the prince goes there, it is better to be careful.

The slaves did the master without authorization, so that the kitchen prepared some braised meat and braised vegetables in the market in advance, and Wang Ye could bring some. "

Lin Yidao, “Bring it yourself?

This is a good idea, then bring your own. Don’t prepare too many fancy things, just some home-cooked food. "

Mingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm not that ignorant. There aren't many things. A pot of old wine, a pound of pig head meat, a pound of large intestine, a pound of beef, a pound of peanuts, and two pieces of tofu are all normal." ”

Lin Yi nodded and said, "That's good."

Mingyue continued, "Concubine Yuan just sent over some deer antlers and ginseng, saying they are for the princess' health."

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Did you say anything else?"

Ming Yue shook her head and said, "I haven't said anything else."

 “Then leave her alone,”

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Let her do whatever she wants."

He is so happy that he has the apple of his eye. According to the rules, even if his mother does not leave the palace for a visit, she still has to order someone to bring her daughter into the palace, right?

The whole thing in front of me looks like it has nothing to do with me, it’s not scientific at all.
