Chapter 164 2 years later
The sky was clear and cloudless, and the sun was shining warmly on the silver-white earth.After days of heavy snow, the weather is so bright.The long winter is probably coming to an end, because the weather is already extremely cold and cannot be colder.
Ah Yuan was dressed bloatedly, she was most afraid of such a cold weather, even so, she tried her best to kneel down and kissed Ah Chou.
"Mother, mother, here you are." Before Ah Yuan could see what she stuffed, she felt her palm warm.It turned out that it was a pocket hand stove, which Ji Zong specially asked craftsmen to make for Ah Chou.There is a small ball inside the big ball, and you can see the charcoal fire burning inside, but no matter how you turn it, the charcoal fire inside cannot be scattered.Ah Chou loved this gift the most, but she also knew that her mother was afraid of the cold, so she stuffed it into her mother's hand like a treasure.A Yuan felt so happy that she was about to faint, and kissed A Chou's pink face forcefully.
"Thank you, mother will definitely cherish it and use it." Ah Chou listened and nodded vigorously, as if he had done a great thing.
Ah Chou is already two years old, and the child looks different every day. Ah Yuan can still vaguely remember her appearance when she was born, as if it was yesterday.But now, she has grown almost to the base of her legs.Wearing an orange cotton-padded jacket, combed with a little tug, the pink and tender balls make people's hearts melt.
Saying goodbye to her family, Ah Yuan started her busy day.However, no matter where she goes, touching the hand stove that her daughter gave her, she will feel full of strength.
"Yuan!" Sanlang Zuo broke into the door, bringing a burst of cold air, Yuan shivered and shrank his neck.The room was warm, San Langzuo had just come back from outside, his body seemed to be covered with frost, his complexion was good, but his nose and cheeks were a little red.
"Where is your lord?" San Langzuo was suffocated by the heat in the room, and stopped at the door and did not come in.He had been away from Wakayama for more than a month, and it was snowing everywhere. No matter how impatient he was, he was delayed on the road for a few days.
Seeing his excited and expectant expression, Ah Yuan knew that the errand this time must be completed.Slightly saluted to him, politely said
"Master will go out as soon as the sky clears. You might as well take a rest first. I don't think the master will come back until evening."
Days of heavy snow buried the mountain roads, and Ji Zong was always worried about the impact of the heavy snow on various places.He was afraid of freezing people and damaging the house, no, as soon as the sky cleared, he rode his horse and went out regardless of everyone's dissuasion.
San Langzuo rubbed his hands, he practiced martial arts all the year round, so he could bear the cold.However, the cold wind blew and suddenly entered the warm room again, and the cracked skin on his hands was itchy.He hadn't seen Ji Zong for more than a month, and he hurried back, only wanting to see her a moment earlier, and, after the matter was done, he was also in a hurry to report to her to make her happy.Don't think about it, he just said to A Yuan.
"Do you know where she went? I'll go find her!"
Ah Yuan sighed softly. Sanlang Zuo and Ji Zong have been separated by a layer of window paper. I don’t know if they are really confused or pretending to be confused. You have to shake your head when you see it.
"Go to the interpretation center first, and then go to the workshops and fields."
"Okay!" San Langzuo lightly clapped his hands and turned around with a happy face.A Yuan looked at the empty doorway, it was not yet noon, San Langzuo came back from the outside, probably running a long way.I don't know what he ate, why is he so motivated!She didn't sigh for a long time, and someone outside looked inside.Ah Yuan glanced at it, it was Ah Shu in Yu Sumoyuan. In two years, this boy has also grown up, his eyebrows and eyes have been opened, and he looks very bright.
"Master Gana, my master asked me to ask, can my lord come back at noon? My master wants to cook a few dishes myself, but I'm afraid it will be cold, and my lord will feel uncomfortable after eating." Ah Shu saw that Ah Yuan saw him, so he hurried He tilted his head in salute and asked.When he smiled, a canine tooth came out, very cute.However, this person is not a worry-free person.Ah Yuan snorted inwardly, this Young Master Mei can't control his own people, and he doesn't know whether he intends to or not, the people in the room always rush out uncontrollably.Just this Ashu, at such a young age, he has a big heart.She bumped into Ah Shu to give something to Ji Zong more than once, Xiaoyi's gentle appearance, how could she be innocent at this age.
"Go and tell your master that your lord won't be back at noon, so come ask again in the evening."
Ashu is clever and has good eyesight. Lord Ghana doesn't want to see him, so he can guess one or two, but he still has a sweet smile on his face and backed away.
Ah Yuan thought with some concern, the master didn't want a child two years ago, and he could still say he was young, but he still doesn't want a child, the one in the yard must be worried.In the past two years, Ji Yi's situation has been very good, and the master's status has naturally risen.There are quite a few people who give away to the master, both inside and outside the domain.Not to mention that the master didn't want any of them, she sent them all away, and even the one who had a false name for a long time, was sent back to Xiaochuansheng boat by her to continue treating illnesses and saving lives.The master is not enlightened on this matter, is he?However, if the master's goal is to be a general, then the issue of heirs should also be on the agenda!In the past two years, she has intentionally controlled it, but at least it does.Let alone a horse, holding two for three years!Master, what are you thinking?
On Sanlangzuo's side, a man rode down the mountain alone.He changed a horse, and he had been holding it back for several days and hadn't let it out. Now he was running happily, and his four hooves were about to fly.San Langzuo didn't feel tired, but felt that he was going crazy just wanting to see Ji Zong.
The lecture hall is at the foot of Wakayama, and it arrived in a short time. San Langzuo got off his horse, and heated arguments came from inside.Seeing San Langzuo, the discerning boy hurried forward to salute, saying that the feudal lord had come early, but then went to the fields from here to see the conditions of the farmers' houses.San Langzuo got on his horse, clamped the horse's belly, and left again.In the past two years, the Interpretation Institute has become an academic sanctuary, from simple lectures at the beginning to heated debates and discussions now.The craftsmen arranged by Ji Zong are also very popular because they are practical.The academics also let go of their initial disdain, and occasionally listened to the lectures of the craftsmen together.When I met someone who was interested, I also exchanged a few words. The unexpected harvest is that the scholars recorded many technical processes with clear thinking and writing, and spread them well.Education is popular in the island country, and there are very few illiteracy. With vivid pictures and simple text descriptions, even children have a general understanding of some handicrafts.From now on, they will be a new force!
When we arrived at the farmhouse and workshop, we didn't see Ji Zong. San Langzuo ran down in a hurry. He only felt that although it was cold, everyone's energy was not low. Except for the ground, everyone didn't rest.Unlike what he saw all the way back from the outside, it was lifeless.In the Jiyi Fan, Yoshimune's promotion of the handicraft industry has shown its effect.In autumn, I am busy with farm work, and I don’t rest in winter. The freed up manpower can process the wood and ore I saved in spring and autumn.
Thinking of the first-hand information collected from this trip, San Langzuo grinned.In the past two years, Ji Yi not only repaid the debts owed to the shogunate, but also made a surplus.The shogunate has not been stable for the past two years. Whoever is in office wants to grab money, especially General Ieji's health has been poor and he has been lingering in bed.San Langzuo even felt that it was a miracle that Jianbu Jianfang could continue the life of the general.All the feudal lords were confused by the matter of donating money, which one was not stretched.Those who laughed at Ji Zong at the beginning also fell silent, as if someone had slapped him in the face.How loudly they laughed at the beginning, how embarrassing they are now.
There are also many people who have begun to learn from Ji Yi's reforms.It's a pity... San Langzuo thinks about the over-cut mountains and forests, but now he doesn't think that in ten or fifty years, the differences between Jiyi and the mountains and forests in other places will appear.Not to mention other reform measures, I have only learned the superficiality, and I have not understood the core at all.Ji Zong is to benefit the people and hide wealth from the people, but what about those feudal lords?They want to make a fortune, so it would be good if they don’t double the exploitation. Farmers from all over the country complained that the tax is heavy and the work is heavy. Now, they have to do more work!Ji Yi does a lot of work, but what he does is all for himself.What about other domains?It was for the feudal lord, the enthusiasm and effect can be imagined.
Agriculture and handicrafts actually drove the economic development of Jiyi and entered a virtuous circle.When everyone has money, of course they have the desire to shop, mutual promotion and mutual development.This means that it is very difficult for farmers to migrate, and the current policy of the shogunate does not allow intercommunication, but even so, there are still a large number of craftsmen pouring into Kii, and the shogunate really has nothing to do with it.In Jiyi, craftsmen have status. As long as they are really skilled, they can enter the lecture hall. How respectable it is!Moreover, Ji Yi has a lot of jobs, so there is no embarrassment of not being able to find a job, so there is no need to leave it vacant.Even in winter, there is no need to rest.
Thinking about it now, San Langzuo was worried about the shortage of labor force at the beginning, Ji Zong laughed at that time, and didn't say anything, just said that there will naturally be enough people by then.At that time, she should have thought of today's situation!Water flows low, and still water flows deep.Thinking about the errands along the way, San Langzuo's proud heart is about to fly.Although it was not because of him, but it was Ji Zong's ability, and he was happier than he himself was affirmed, and he was honored.
However, he ran all the way down, feeling a little distressed in his heart.It was a cold day, and she ran for a long time, but she didn't know if she had a drink of hot water.But he forgot that he himself was on the road all day long, and he hadn't had a sip of hot water for half a day!
Finally, San Langzuo saw Ji Zong in the field. She was tall and tall, and she had grown a little in the past two years, and she was already much taller than ordinary people.Standing in the crowd, tall and straight, very conspicuous.Not to mention, the snow-white eagle on her shoulder.The joy in San Langzuo's heart was overflowing, and he finally saw Ji Zong.He slightly bent his index finger, put it in his mouth, and whistled loudly.The eagle on Ji Zong's shoulder, and Ji Zong, all looked over.
Ji Zong nodded to Ah Meng's questioning eyes, and Ah Meng spread his wings and flew towards Sanlangzuo.San Langzuo stretched out his arms and held them up high.Ah Meng was no worse than his father, and his wings were three meters wide. The distance between Ji Zong and San Langzuo, he didn't even need to flap his wings.It retracted its wings and landed neatly on Sanronzuo's wrist wearing a wrist guard.
Because Ah Meng was brought up and domesticated by Ji Zong and San Langzuo, and it recognized both of them, but San Lang Zuo was very careful, and Ah Meng listened to Ji Zong the most.However, if Ji Zong is not there, it will listen to San Langzuo.
"Meng! It's strong again!" San Langzuo praised Ah Meng, who hadn't seen him for a month.Ah Meng puffed out his chest triumphantly, with a look of human nature.San Langzuo rubbed his forehead and chatted with Ah Meng, the two of them acted like brothers and sisters.
Ji Zong looked at them from a distance and smiled.Just like the snow lotus blooming on the cliff, cold and charming, San Langzuo looked at the more beautiful Ji Zong in the past two years, and his heart almost melted.I meditate in my heart, I'm back!With this smile, all the fatigue and hard work are comforted.
The author has something to say: Thank you for your reward, bow.
It’s okay to remind, but it’s slow (blush)
