Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

At the beginning of September, the sticks were all planted. This year, the Lin family planted a stick of 150 feet, and Zixuan and his wife also planted a stick of 100 feet. This one hundred feet includes sowing seeds and planting sticks. The Lin family didn't have enough ginseng seeds and seeds, so they got them from the village. Some families cannot buy their own forests like the Lin family and the Xu family, so they can only plant less trees. In this way, there will be a lot of seeds and ginseng seeds left, so Zixuan bought them.

The only work in the field is smashing pillars and building sheds. If Zixuan goes up to the mountain to do these tasks, he will not have to go up to the mountains to do this. At this time, it was time to go back and have some free time. Zixuan took Jinghan and the children back to the Xu family in the town.

On the eighth day of September, Mingyu came back with his family, accompanied by Wenchang. The old man and the old lady were very puzzled and didn't know what was going on. Later Mingyu said that he had asked the emperor to send him to the northeast to guard. Mingyu decided to build the palace in Xizhou. It happened to be an important border area, and by guarding there, you could also keep an eye on the lands newly seized by the imperial court.

The negotiations between the imperial court and Beiyuan had been completed long ago. This time, the emperor really adopted Jinghan's method. None of the prisoners were sent back to Beiyuan, they all stayed in Daqi. Then this time, he sent 100,000 people to Mingyu, asking him to take good care of these people, and also let them help reclaim wasteland in the northeast to fill the shortage of population in the north.

Prince Sieg, the emperor kept him in the capital and gave him the title of marquis, but it was just a title. The emperor gave him a house and a beauty, and left Qiege in the capital. Even if Qiege had the chance to return to Beiyuan in the future, he would never be able to be a khan again.

Mingyu guards the northern border, but the magistrate of Xizhou cannot be left vacant. It happened that Wenchang also asked the emperor to leave Beijing to take up a post, so the emperor asked Wenchang and Mingyu to come to the Northeast together, also to let them take care of each other. After all, Mingyu is the emperor's biological brother, and the relationship between the two brothers has always been good. Since Mingyu can consider the emperor, the emperor will naturally take more care of his biological brother.

Wenchang took over as the magistrate of Xizhou, which was good news for Jinghan. If it had been anyone else, Jinghan's properties would have been usurped sooner or later. Now that she has Mingyu and Wenchang, Jinghan can sit back and relax.

Mingyu and the others turned a corner on purpose to go home to see their relatives, so they couldn't stay at home for two days and left in a hurry. Before I left, I said that I would definitely come back for a reunion during the Chinese New Year.

The years are fleeting and time flies by easily. In a blink of an eye, it was already four years later.

In the past four years, Zixuan fulfilled his promise and took Jinghan with him all over the country, including all along the coast.

Just after their one-year period of filial piety had passed, the emperor issued an order for Zixuan to return to Beijing and take up his post. So Jinghan wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that he wanted to see and travel around, and wanted Zixuan to accompany him. As a result, as soon as the emperor heard about this, he immediately issued an order and appointed Zixuan as an inspector. Let him patrol the sky for hunting, inspect the folk customs of various places, as well as the customs of official administration and so on.

There was actually a little boy who came with the decree. He was the emperor's eldest son and had not yet been crowned prince. The emperor's eldest son is eleven years old. He is a very smart boy. In appearance, he is quite similar to Mingyu back then.

As soon as Jinghan saw the little boy named Li Haochen, she remembered the time when Mingyu came to the Xu family. Is this Li Mingrui using them as nannies? Jinghan also understood that the emperor wanted to give the eldest son a good training. The governor of the province is deep in the palace and does not understand the suffering of the people at all. But this is the prince. If not, he will be the prince or the emperor in the future. Just leaving it to herself like this, Jinghan felt a lot of pressure.

Besides, the emperor now has several princes. If there is another fight for heir apparent in the future, wouldn't the Xu family and the Lin family be involved? It's too late for them to avoid these troubles, how could they be involved like this?

However, it is useless to object. How can Jinghan tolerate anything that the emperor has decided? Therefore, Jinghan could only feel infinite resentment and went out with her family and the eldest son of the emperor. On the other hand, Qingyuan and Qingyao like this eldest brother very much. They follow Haochen every day. The eldest brother is taller than the eldest brother.

Haochen is indeed a child with good character. He is courteous and courteous to others. He is not picky at all whether he has food, food or housing. The emperor sent him here, and no one who served him was left behind. Jinghan and the others didn't bring that many people with them when they went out. There were many things that everyone had to do by themselves. Although Haochen doesn't know how to do it, he studies it very carefully. He can learn common things after being taught them once or twice.

Jinghan really liked this little boy who always called Jinghan aunt. So I can only put aside my dissatisfaction and worries and treat him sincerely.

Although Zixuan has the title of patrol envoy, Jinghan means that it is better to go on patrol incognito so that he can see the most primitive things. Everyone just walked around, and wherever they went, Jinghan would have a detailed understanding of the customs and customs there. Then write down some things, maybe they will be useful later.

Qinghe also went out with Jinghan and the others. This little girl studied medicine with Qian and was very serious. It just so happened that everyone just walked along, practicing medicine and treating diseases, and then observing the people's sentiments. It was quite interesting along the way.

But the journey will not be smooth sailing, and they will encounter various things. Once he met a bandit, and another time he met a corrupt official. Later, it was Zixuan who used the power of the inspector to deal with the corrupt official. It has to be said that the current emperor is quite a wise king, and there are not many officials who really do evil.

While on the southeast coast, Jinghan also saw some foreigners. These people were similar to the people in Jinghan's memories of her previous life. They had all traveled across the ocean to trade here. It's just that the previous dynasty did not pay attention to this item and adopted a closed policy. Therefore, although there is overseas trade today, it is in a situation similar to smuggling. As a result, the imperial court suffered serious losses in foreign trade. Therefore, Zixuan petitioned the imperial court, requesting the establishment of a trade port and the reopening of the shipping department. It was used to manage foreign trade, bring this overseas trade under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and also create considerable wealth for the imperial court.

In the winter of the third year of their trip, Jinghan became pregnant again, so Zixuan and others found a place to settle down along the southeast coast. Just as the emperor's decree came down, trade ports were set up in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Yangzhou on the southeast coast, which were unified under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Shipping Department, and Zixuan was appointed as the top executor of the Municipal Shipping Department and the Municipal Shipping Envoy. In this way, Zixuan and his party had no choice but to settle in the southeast.

Now, Zixuan started to be busy again, and Jinghan gave birth to the baby with peace of mind. Occasionally, he helped Zixuan come up with ideas, but his life was also very leisurely.

The eighth day of September happens to be the full moon of Jinghan's third son, Qingyi.

Wen Han and others sent congratulatory gifts from the capital. Mingyu and Wenchang also sent people from Northern Xinjiang, and even the emperor sent congratulatory gifts. For a time, the little guy could be regarded as extremely beautiful.

Officials from various shipping departments also came to congratulate him. This shipping department is a good and lucrative place, and many people are eager to get in. And those who came in didn't want to go out, so who didn't have to hurry up to curry favor with Zixuan?

Zixuan still behaved as before. He did not take advantage of Das' opportunity to make money. He would also supervise his subordinates and not allow them to exploit those merchants. But even so, the contributions from the merchants alone are quite large. Zixuan can't be too strict. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If these people are really not allowed to make some extra money, how can they work seriously?

Jinghan, on the other hand, also built a fleet and went out to sea for trade. In this fleet, there are shares owned by officials in the Municipal Shipping Department. In this way, the officials earned much more than those who exploited the merchants. Everyone also respected Zixuan and his wife very much.

The people sent by the emperor also picked up Li Haochen. Haochen had been away from Beijing for four years, and the queen didn't think so. Besides, Haochen was already fourteen years old, so it was time for him to go back and learn how to govern the country.

"Aunt, I'm leaving. I'll come see aunt again when I have time." Haochen was a little reluctant and stood in front of Jinghan, saying reluctantly.

Jinghan looked at the boy in front of her who was about the same height as herself. Now Haochen had grown into a handsome young man. Jinghan stretched out her hand and touched Haochen's head, "Good boy, you are old now. It's time to learn more. In the past few years, you have traveled around with your aunt and gained a lot of knowledge. When you go back, follow her carefully. If your father learns something, he will be more promising in the future."

Jinghan took out a notebook, which contained some things she had recorded and some ideas for economic development. "Auntie doesn't have anything good to give you. Keep this. It may be of some use to you."

Haochen took the notebook and placed it in Ke's arms with great care, "Auntie, Haochen is leaving. I will take Qingyuan and Qingyao back to Beijing with them, so let them study with me."

Jinghan nodded. She knew that Qingyuan and Qingyao were also very attached to Haochen, so it would be better for them to return to Beijing together. With the support of Wen Han and others, as well as the care of Haochen, these two boys cannot suffer any loss. Now that they have a relationship with the royal family, it seems that they cannot be separated in this life, so why not let Qingyuan and Qingyao be Haochen's helpers.

Looking at the retreating figures of Haochen and others, Qinghe couldn't help but cry, "Mother, why do we have to separate? Haven't we been together all these years?"

"Silly girl, Haochen has his own mission, and he can't be with us forever." Jinghan patted Qinghe on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go back, I want to send you to the West Take a look and learn the Western medical skills there. The most important thing is to broaden your horizons. What do you think?"

"Mother, if you think I can do it, then I'll go. I'm not afraid of anything." Qinghe has mastered Qian's medical skills in the past few years. Moreover, during their travels, they also met several apricot forest masters who were hidden among the people. Qinghe also learned a lot while getting along with them.

"Okay, let's start next spring. You will be thirteen by then. Go out to study for a few years and then come back after you have finished your studies." Qinghe is a smart girl. It is a pity not to let her learn more.

Time goes by and never comes back. In a hurry, beauty becomes white hair.

In the thirty-fifth year of Qi Tianshun's reign, the fifty-nine-year-old emperor died of overwork and illness. The successor to the throne was the thirty-seven-year-old Crown Prince Li Haochen. The new king ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Yongping, which was the first year of Yongping.

Fifty-four-year-old Lin Zixuan is already the prime minister of the current dynasty and holds a high position of power. However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he resigned from his position as prime minister and returned to his hometown to serve as an official. After the new emperor repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail, he had no choice but to give him thousands of hectares of fertile land for his mentor's retirement.

Zixuan returned to his hometown with his wife. In my hometown, near the foot of Changbai Mountain, I built several houses. Together with his wife, he lived a quiet and peaceful life.

As the queen, Qinghe was worried about her adopted father and mother in old age, and was afraid that they would have no one to take care of them, so she sent someone over. But Jinghan sent them all back. They didn't like having too many people around and making noise.

Later, Wen Han and others also became officials one after another. A group of old guys get together, occasionally play chess, and otherwise write books, and live a happy life.

Well, at this point, this book is officially finished. Thank you for your support along the way. Thank you all.
