Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

It was winter and the kang was so warm that the two of them shamelessly stayed together until noon.

The little donkey was crying for half an hour because of hunger. Her owner was really a bad person. He either wanted to tire her to death or scare her to death, and now he even wanted to starve her to death.

Yu Zian got up, opened the door, let it out, and then got back into bed.

Lan Qiyan was startled by the cold and said, "I regret it. I should have come in the spring. Winter is not suitable."

"There's no way to promote new varieties in the spring. That's what Chu Huai thinks."

"Get up, let's go to the fields."

"No need. The ground is all frozen now. There's no point in looking at the crops."

"Let me see if this is loess, red soil, alkaline soil or black soil."

Yu Zian became interested, "Is there any difference between different soils?"

Lan Qiyan felt very hot and poked him with his elbow, "Stay away from me, it's too hot."

"No, wife, please explain it to me."

"Simply put, most of our regions, especially the Central Plains, are covered with loess, which is drought-resistant and can grow millet, sorghum, cotton, wheat and corn.

Red soil is common in the southwest region. The high-quality tea that is tributed every year comes from red soil. Red soil can be used to grow acid-loving crops, such as tea trees and citrus trees.

The northern part of Xinjiang is a typical alkaline land, where only sand dates and wolfberries can be grown, and those have been improved.

Later, the second son stayed there for a year and improved the soil twice before he could grow other crops.

Black soil is the best, suitable for growing large quantities of corn, soybeans and wheat.

This is also the reason why Chu Huai asked me to come here. There is a lot of land here. We should vigorously develop agriculture and turn this place into a granary. Then there will be more and more people. "

“He’s always been very ambitious.”

"How can it be called ambition? All an emperor wants in his life is to unify the world. If you have the ability, help him. Anyway, it will belong to Lao Liu in the future."

"We have already taken back three of the Northern Frontier, Western Wu, Southern Barbarians, and Eastern Rong. Now we are going to give birth to Eastern Rong.

They look different from us. The average person is eight feet tall. There is a river between them. Wife, is he going to take down Dongrong too?"

Lan Qiyan shook his head and said, "The Zimu River is a hundred feet wide and several feet deep. It is only passable in winter when the river freezes. It is not passable in other seasons.

There is no fighting at all. Business is pretty good. I will check to see if there is anything good, and then inform the third brother and let him make money. "

"He earns a lot, there's no need to ask him to come here." Yu Zian didn't want anyone to disturb them at all.

So in the next few days, Lan Qiyan and Yu Zian watched the land during the day and hung out at night.

The little donkey hangs out with other donkeys in the village during the day and sleeps soundly in his own warm haystack at night.

In the following time, Lan Qiyan took Xiong Xiazi Village as the midpoint and a radius of 300 miles, rotating one place once a year.

All the planting techniques of wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts and sweet potatoes, as well as the techniques on how to increase yields, were left behind.

In addition, manual tillers, threshers, water pumps, and various carts and agricultural tools were left behind.

It can be said that she asked craftsmen to improve modern diesel engines into manual ones.

The drawings were also given to all craftsmen. They could earn money, but the prices could not be raised too high, otherwise it would be detrimental to agricultural production.

In winter, trade with Dongrong also allowed Yuzhen to develop into a dedicated line.

Harvest is done in spring, summer and autumn, and in winter you can trade the processed mushrooms and various pickled meats.

When Lan Qiyan left, Xiong Xiazi Village had become a large village with a population of 500.

Small villages were merged into large villages, land was redistributed based on population, the village set up its own defense team, with one person in charge of each household, and monthly salaries were paid by the state.

This reform and development took three and a half years. When I came back, my daughter was five and a half years old.

But when she saw her father with a scruffy beard, holding one in his arms, carrying one on his back, and her mother leading five donkeys, she burst into tears.

"You two are so inhumane, you are developing population under the guise of developing agriculture.

I have been left alone in the capital for so many years. Do you know how I got here?"

Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They looked at the haggard couple with their child and the donkey, and then at Yu Shu, who was plump and white from eating so much. It was not easy to wash these two people.

Chu Yun asked people to take all the donkeys away, "Hurry up and set off the firecrackers to welcome the princess and the general back home, and keep the firecrackers away.

Meihua Lanhua took the two children back home, and the wet nurse followed.

Zi'an, go wash up. We'll take Qiyan to wash up, and we'll meet in the hall."

With the help of Chu Yun and several daughters-in-law in law, Lan Qiyan was transformed from a vicissitudes of life peasant woman into a graceful and elegant princess.

"Tsk, he looks like a human being after all."

Lan Qiyan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't gloat over my misfortune. I don't live a life like a human. During the day, I work like a slave on the farm, and at night..."

Chu Yun smiled evilly, "What happened at night? You must be busy at night. You have two babies in three years."

Lan Qiyan said indifferently, "Why, you don't have anything to do at night?"

"I'm not busy. Jiang Xiao is disabled and I'm in quarantine. I didn't tell you about this because I was afraid of wasting your time."

Lan Qiyan raised his eyebrows, "I'm not busy now, you can talk."

Chu Yun looked embarrassed, but Wu You didn't care, "Mom, two years ago, Wu Qian found out that Jiang Yi was a useless person, so she hooked up with my father-in-law Jiang Xiao.

The mother-in-law caught him in bed with his wife and divorced him in anger. Jiang Xiao and Wu Qian became even more unscrupulous, but his age was not as good as expected. He took drugs, but he became devastated and useless. "

Lan Qiyan savored Wu You's word carefully; the word "never to recover from" was quite appropriate.

But she wanted to know more about what was happening to Liang Yi and Wu Qian.

Wu You was also very confused, "Mom, after what happened, how can the two of them still live together?

Jiang Yi didn't divorce her. The two of them were doing their own things. The whole Jiang Mansion was filled with chaos. Most of the housekeepers and maids had left. "

"How do they live?" Lan Qiyan asked again.

Wu You sighed, "Jiang Yi relies on coaxing women, Wu Qian relies on coaxing men."

Lan Qiyan gave a thumbs up and said, "This couple is really capable."

After seeing her two younger brothers, Yu Shu came over angrily and said, "Lan Qiyan, don't change the subject. Today, let's talk about how those two things came about."

Lan Qiyan lowered his head guiltily, mumbling, "How you got here is how they got here. This has nothing to do with me. It's all your father's business."

“Humph, I can’t let him off either. Let me talk about you first. Aren’t you going to contribute to agricultural development?

How did you sacrifice your two sons? Lan Qiyan, speak up quickly. If you confess, you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be treated severely. "

Lan Qiyan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Yushu, you haven't been disciplined for three years, so you've started to tear off the tiles, right?"

Yu Shu sat on the ground and cried bitterly, "Is there any justice in the world? This couple abandoned a young daughter, ran away and gave birth to two sons and came back.

Why is my life so miserable? Who can save me? "

This shout called all the brothers over. Lan Qiyan and Yu Zian sat in the middle. Several children surrounded them, and they suddenly felt weak and helpless.
