Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In the wilderness of Weibei, the frost has not yet thawed, and the world is still quite depressed, but the fields are not deserted.

After surviving a long cold winter, the fat accumulated by the beasts during autumn and winter has long been exhausted, and they are in urgent need of food to replenish it, so they can only expand the scope of their foraging. Therefore, every year at the end of winter and early spring, tigers, wolves and ferocious beasts often attack villages and pedestrians.

During the first month of the lunar month, Nuo dances, social performances and other activities are often held in Guanzhong Township, which often last for several days from day to night. They are not only for praying for blessings, but also to scare away wild beasts.

During this period, the third chief of the village and the big households would often organize strong laborers to patrol around the villages to drive away and hunt wild animals that wandered around.

Under a leeward slope, there were more than a dozen beautiful camping tents set up. Around the tents, hundreds of strong knights dispersed in groups of three and five, wading through the fields and ditches in search of prey.

"So fast, so fast! I can't even see clearly..."

Wearing a light and warm riding outfit and a mink hood, the petite knight was obviously not used to the activity of galloping and safari. His upper body was half bent, and he was holding the horse's bridle tightly with both hands. He didn't understand at all. Seeing the pleasure brought by speed, he couldn't control his mouth and kept making clear and frightening screams.

Li Tai kept riding his horse and followed closely behind him. When he heard the little lady's trembling shouts, he felt a little sad and pitiful. He couldn't help but reveal a slightly unscrupulous smile on his face. He rode his horse close to the side and slowly stopped. Miaoyin's mount grasped the bridle tightly and brought the mount to a complete stop.

"It's so scary, so scary, I can't even see you!"

This little lady's pretty face turned pale, and her words still had a bit of a trembling voice, which showed that she was really frightened. Although she was born as a general and was proficient in horsemanship, she was only a woman after all and would not undergo more professional training. Hunting in the wilderness was still too much for her.

Li Tai stepped forward and patted her tense and stiff back, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll always be by your side. The most important thing to avoid when riding a horse is getting flustered. If you get flustered, your hands and feet will become stiff. Horses are human. , it will be more dangerous because you are nervous and unwilling to obey."

"But, but I don't want to hunt anymore, can we go back to the tent and take a rest?"

Miaoyin looked at Li Tai pitifully, with water mist gathering in her eye sockets. Her pretty face, which became more and more delicate and delicate, had already begun to show its charm. Li Tai's mood was shaken by the sight, and he hurriedly turned his eyes away and let out a breath.

This shouldn't be the case, eldest sister, you are from a general family after all, show off your Xianbei women's boldness. You were going to pull out your sword to fuck me before, but now you are as delicate and weak as a sissy, what do you look like!

Li Tai was not joking or looking down on the young lady's background, but he really felt it was inappropriate.

In the past, this little lady was lively and full of energy, and her whole body was filled with affinity and contagiousness. Because of this, Li Tai often missed her, explored herself, and developed a secret love for her.

But in the last few times we have met, this young lady has become more and more quiet and weak, especially after they were engaged.

When we met in Beijing before, although this young lady had a longer appearance and was more delicate than before, the changes in her whole person's temperament were completely different from the one he was familiar with and liked most before.

This is certainly due to the long period of mourning and the lack of interpersonal communication, which makes people become somewhat quiet and introverted.

But other than that, Li Tai felt that it probably had to do with what this young lady had heard and seen. Perhaps he felt that the Li family in Longxi had a dignified family style, so he had to suppress his nature and be dignified in order to match such a family. No. .

With this point of view, Li Tai cannot say whether he agrees or disagrees, whether he is dignified or lively, after all, it still depends on his appearance. Although it is said that a wife should be virtuous, but who says that a beautiful woman cannot be virtuous?

But he knew in his heart that in that time and space that he had not participated in, this young lady was not a long-lived person.

There are certainly many reasons, but to him, this woman is no longer a strange character in a history book, but a spouse who really exists and will marry him and start a family. Naturally, he will do his best. I try my best to eliminate the possibility of this lady's premature death in every aspect.

He is not a good doctor with great medical skills. His simple understanding of health care is nothing more than eating well, sleeping well, and feeling comfortable, which will naturally lead to good health and longevity.

Therefore, he still hopes that this little lady can maintain her previous lively, cheerful and cheerful personality. Even if some personality changes occur with age, they are based on the growth of self-awareness and changes in accordance with self-will, rather than that. A kind of self-repression based on PUA indoctrination based on the concept of family status.

After all, Li Tai didn't feel the dignity of the title of the Longxi Li family in his bones. The reason why he held on tightly was because it was relatively easy to use in the current social environment. If red flags were everywhere at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, then he would first I had to take the lead in digging up the ancestral graves.

We stopped in the suburbs of Weibei today not only because Li Tai is interested in hunting, but also because he wants to take this little lady to increase outdoor activities. Personalities can be subtly changed through long-term living together, but at least the body can be improved Awesome. The order he placed here was Hua Mulan, but he couldn't get it and it turned out to be Lin Daiyu.

But seeing that the young lady was really in shock and couldn't bear such a high-intensity activity, Li Tai also felt that he had overcorrected and acted too hastily, so he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It's a pity that he will be leaving for Longyou soon, but the young lady still hasn't given up her uniform. , it is inevitable for each other to get together less and stay apart more.

If you have to be at ease in both places, you still have to get married early and take your wife back home. Of course, your own wife has to be raised by yourself. Growing up in someone else's home will always lead to a lack of tacit understanding and integration.

"The head of the plain has already said that as long as we can help foreigners hunt down the wild wolves wandering upstream in the plain, we will be given fat sheep as a meal. We have already agreed, how can we go back on our word?"

Li Tai turned over and dismounted, unhooked the saddle buckle on the lady's saddle that fixed the body and assisted riding, turned around and pointed at his mount and said with a smile: "Why don't you and I ride together? We can feel each other even if we can't see it. ”

After hearing this, Lady Miaoyin looked at Li Tai's mount again, her eyes roving left and right, her originally pale face suddenly turned pale, she lowered her head and murmured: "This, your husband is in high spirits, I, I I am also willing to accompany you, but this is really not what I am good at. I can’t help but it also drags down Mr. Lang..."

After Li Tai heard this, he laughed, wrapped his arms around the waist of his wife and hugged her down, but did not put her directly on the ground, hugged her in his chest and said with a smile: "Today's interest is only in I have fun playing games with you, and I have my own subordinates to do the hunting for you. If you are just shy and unhappy, you will be dragging me down so much that I can’t fully enjoy myself. Tell me what you are going to do!”

The lady snuggled into Li Tai's arms, her delicate body trembled for a moment, her vision was slightly hazy, and she pressed her face close to Li Tai's chest. After a moment, she raised her pink fist and tapped Li Tai's ribs, and said in a muffled voice: "Everywhere around." Someone must be laughing at me... so rude!"

Hearing this, Li Tai smiled again and waved his hand to drive away the guards who were cruising nearby. However, fearing that a wild wolf would suddenly jump out, he would be extremely happy and sad. He hugged the lady, got on his horse, and started riding slowly on the plain.

The young lady snuggled docilely into Li Tai's arms. At first she was still looking around and she didn't want to be seen. But when she saw that the knights were all distracted and busy hunting, she gradually relaxed and kept pointing in the direction for Li Taice. The Communist Party of China and she enjoyed the scenery on the plateau together, with hearty and cheerful laughter constantly coming out of their mouths, looking like they were never tired of it, and they strolled like this from morning to evening.

Fortunately, Li Tai's mount is a powerful and famous Hexi horse with long stamina. Otherwise, even though the lady's body is light and graceful, it is not as light as nothing. Under the weight of it, ordinary horses may be tired and paralyzed. .

In the evening, the soldiers returned to the camp, and Li Tai also returned with the little lady who was already a little tired.

Although the little lady was quite tired, she still refused to leave Li Tai's side. Although they have a close relationship with each other, they don't spend much time together. The companionship that lasted most of the day today was even more intimate than ever before, and their feelings for each other were even more sublimated, with a sour smell like honey mixed with oil.

It's always hard to get tired of being in the public eye. After returning to the camp, the young lady went into the tent and changed into a hakama. She wore a bow and a sword on her waist and followed Li Tai in and out. But compared with the other guards around Li Tai, his physique is inevitably a bit eye-catching and special. However, none of the guards dared to make fun of and offend the future mistress. They could only keep a straight face and carry on with a solemn expression. Laughter challenge.

Li Tai would never laugh at the young lady's uncontrollable strong attachment to him, so he simply waved away the other guards, leaving only this little tail beside him, and took her for a few laps in the camp to let her feel the army. Atmosphere.

Today, the tribesmen hunted on the plateau, and the harvest was quite rich. The hungry skinny wolves alone hunted more than a dozen, as well as many other prey such as hares and pheasants.

Li Tai was walking around the camp when he suddenly heard a noise coming from in front of the camp gate. He and his wife walked over to take a look, and saw a dozen strong men from the countryside staring angrily at each other.

"what happened?"

Li Tai raised his hand to summon a soldier commander who was present, frowned and asked.

It turned out that Li Tai had visited a village on the plateau before, and some of his fellow villagers had made an agreement to hunt wild beasts on the plateau in exchange for sheep. One wolf could be exchanged for two sheep. Now that the hunting is over, these villagers are only willing to admit the account of six wolves, because they have only seen these six wolves in recent activities. They refuse to admit the others, saying that they may have hunted them elsewhere and should not be responsible. This village is responsible for it.

Although many of the villagers were simple, they were also cunning. Li Tai was interested in hunting and did not really want to make profit from hunting, so he ordered that only twelve sheep be collected according to the plan mentioned by the villagers and asked them to send them quickly. Come and don't delay your meal.

The villagers were secretly relieved when they heard that Li Tai did not care. They also had the courage to come over to negotiate, hoping to save as much as they could. Fortunately, the people they met were not irritable people, so they hurriedly sent all the sheep here. There was also an elder from the countryside who was traveling with them. After seeing Li Tai, they Thank you again and again.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness! Thank you, General, for your kindness! There are ferocious beasts roaming the plains, injuring many people. The exact number of villagers cannot be known. If the villagers usually go to drive them away, they dare not bother the troops passing through the border. But now in the countryside, the villagers have food." Many were taken away as a last resort..."

When the fellow said this, he looked worried.

When Li Tai heard this complaint, he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked: "It has just entered the New Year, the first month has not yet come out, and I have not heard of any big plans between the imperial court and the Taiwanese government. How can you force the people to do so?" ?”

After hearing this question, the fellow sighed again, and then said: "General, you have a lot of knowledge. Have you ever heard of the name Li Boshan, the governor of Luoshui?"

Li Tai didn't expect that he might have caught on to his gossip while traveling in the countryside. He became even more curious and said quickly: "I know Li Boshan's name, but none of his duties involved Weibei. The conquest here is actually related to him? "

"Although they were not directly recruited by Governor Li, they are closely related to each other. This Governor was good at promoting water conservancy. In just a few years, he transformed Luoshui, which was prone to siltation, into a great waterway. He also won the favor of His Majesty the Emperor. He was appreciated and granted a great official position.

Therefore, the chiefs of counties and counties in Weibei also learned from the actions of Governor Li and regarded the groundbreaking and water repair as a major achievement. Since last year, Zheng Bai Canal has been repaired continuously, and the work has not stopped even during the New Year..."

Li Tai was immediately embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't expect that his leading role would be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and yet so harmful to the masses. The construction of water conservancy is naturally a good governance in a farming society, but it also requires proper and comprehensive planning. If it is just a whim, It is just a waste of time and money.

Although he didn't know what the regulations on water control were in the counties and counties here, he saw the fellow villager's face look sad when he talked about it. This showed that these water conservancy projects at least did not pay attention to the people's efforts.

Although he was not responsible for the specific execution of the matter, he was at last the cause of it. Li Tai couldn't help but feel guilty and asked: "So, the villagers here must be quite hating Governor Li?"

After hearing this question, the fellow villagers stared in surprise and said, "How could it be possible? Then Governor Li is not the chief of this area, so how can he cause resentment among the people here! Because of his merits in water control, the villagers here also enjoy great conveniences. .Has the general seen those Sumai on the plain?

In previous years, even if seedlings were planted, stored as pasture, or plowed to increase fertilizer, now with the great development of water conservancy in Luoshui River, wheat can be ground into flour for a small price. The amount of wheat grown in the village has doubled, and all of it can be kept as food. So Governor Li has done a great favor to the village..."

"Captain Li is such a kind and good man!"

When Miao Yin, who had been standing behind Li Tai, heard this, she couldn't help but be elated and proud, clapped her hands and cheered loudly.

Li Tai also became very happy when he heard this. After pondering for a while, he said to the fellow villager: "In my opinion, Governor Li is not yet a kind person. He should carefully examine how much the villagers increase their wheat cultivation. Records of visits to the countryside are recorded in the book, and when the wheat harvest season comes, chariots and horses will be dispatched to help the villagers deliver grain to the Luoshui Geiya Workshop..."

"I don't dare to think about it! I don't dare to think about it! My parents may not work so hard, how can any official love the people so much..."

The fellow's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shook his head and waved his hands.
