    The emperor often said that the stability of agriculture can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, the population can prosper, and the national treasury can be fully filled. There will be no fear of food shortages and unrest internally, and no worries of external intrusion.  Therefore, the royal family regarded agriculture as "the foundation of the country."

    And the rice field fish farming invented by the Shizifu of the Marquis of Xiangyang, I heard that within one year, the output of grain was much higher than in previous years. In the past, if one acre of paddy field could produce 200 kilograms of grain, then at least now  It can weigh from 230 to 10 pounds, which is 40 pounds. You can imagine how full the national treasury will be if every mu of paddy fields in the country increases production. If this is not a major event that benefits the country and the people, I'm afraid  Nothing else will benefit the country and the people.

    "Shizi Mo is ridiculous. Compared with the Guidehou Mansion, what we do in Weizi is only superficial."

    Weizi replied politely.

    After all, her original starting point was just to grow more rice and improve her family's life. Until now, it can only be said that the Marquis of Xiangyang has a vision.

    Mo Xifeng looked at the mast with some surprise and said with a smile: "I'm also very curious. What does the young lady know about my Guidehou Mansion?"

    Weizi smiled lightly and said: "Ten years ago, the imperial court was trying to control floods in the Yellow River. Marquis Guide took the job and personally led his guards up the Yellow River to the source of the Yellow River, the Xingxiu Sea. After a 20,000-day round trip, he mapped the Yellow River.  The whole map is because the Marquis of Guide took the lead and surveyed personally, and he knew the ins and outs of the Yellow River clearly, so he reported to the imperial court to assign capable officials to regulate the river. A year later, the section of the river that had been regulated suddenly collapsed, and Guide  In anger, the marquis asked for a memorial and invited himself to the battle. I heard that at that time, Marquis Guide issued a military order in front of the emperor, saying that he would never return unless he managed the Yellow River well."

    After a slight pause, Yizi continued: "Guidehou promoted talents throughout the country, and finally ignored the obstruction of everyone and boldly recruited righteous men from poor families. Among them, two of them were the most outstanding. I heard that their families are in the Yellow River Basin, and  They also hate the flooding of the Yellow River. Coupled with their innate advantages, they have a natural sensitivity to the river course and a sufficient understanding of the flooding of the Yellow River. One of them was appointed as the governor of the river control, and the other was responsible for returning water every day.  Dehou summarized his opinions on regulating the river. Since the two of them were working together at the same time, there would naturally be disagreements. The first thing to bear the brunt was the land issue that would arise after regulating the Yellow River. How should the extra land be distributed? Because the two of them were from poor families, naturally  He hoped that these lands would be distributed to the common people, but the Marquis of Guide asked old people who specialized in farming to judge the earliest period during which the benefits of these lands could be recovered, and then decided to sell these lands to the gentry, and obtained the land from the gentry.  Silver was once again used to regulate the river. It used the land rationally and did not blindly increase the burden on the people. It also provided the court with the money needed to regulate the river. Later, during the process of regulating the river, some water flows at the mouth of the river appeared again.  To solve the problem of poor access to the sea, one person proposed to raise the river embankment to allow the river water to wash away the sand and mud into the sea. However, the other person disagreed. He said that the Yellow River should be dredged deep into the sea where the sand flows.  Wouldn't it just flow down? The two were at loggerheads for a while. One said that would be equivalent to the sea water pouring in, and all previous efforts would be in vain. The other said that the river embankment should be raised, and the house is under the river embankment. Once the river embankment overflows, people will not be able to live there.  Did it go into the belly of the fish? Later, the Marquis of Guide took both opinions into consideration. Without affecting the progress of the Yellow River arrangement, the Marquis of Guide conducted overt and covert investigations and interviewed experienced ordinary people.  On the one hand, he also invited the imperial court, and also asked his capable subordinates to conduct overt and covert inspections in various parts of the Yellow River Basin. Finally, he summed up the most feasible strategy and made the most significant contribution to the transformation of the Yellow River. Within eight years, Gui Dehou  He returned to the capital no less than three times, where he ate, lived, and clothed with the workers. I heard that when he returned to Beijing later, the ministers and even the emperor could not recognize him as the Marquis of Guide.  .¡±

    Mo Xifeng's eyes were a little warm when he was told by Weizi. In those eight years, his grandmother passed away and he never expected his son to come back. At that time, he was mentally complaining. Now, it is only two years before his father returns home.  From then on, her health also suffered severe losses, and her mother's thoughts were all focused on her father, focusing on recuperating his health.

    Mo Xifeng used to complain, and even in the two years since his father came back, he couldn't understand it. After all, the Yellow River was so far away from them, and it seemed that it would never be relevant to them. For such a thing that had nothing to do with them, his father had to  Not to mention walking for eight years and being physically exhausted, but in the end, the family didn¡¯t know how much money they had spent. Although eight years later, even the emperor asked for credit for his father and was moved by his father and rewarded him with gold, silver and jewels.  He had long since made up for the losses of that year, but he still couldn't let go.

    Only now, after hearing it from the mouth of the concubine of the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion, do I really understand that Marquis Guide, his father, has made great achievements and accumulated virtues for generations.

    There is no sonSnow-kun, what's going on?  But who made you angry?  "

    Mrs. Hou just leaned in the arms of the Marquis of Xiangyang and shook her head. She didn't want to talk about her mother's family's affairs.

    Seeing that Mrs. Hou was unwilling to answer, Mr. Hou did not force her, but just thought of ways to make her happy.  He rolled his eyes and whispered: "Xuejun, have you heard what happened in the bridal chamber today?"

    Mrs. Hou raised her head slightly, with a smile on her lips, and said, "I heard about it."

    The Marquis of Xiangyang said with some emotion: "Originally, I thought about marrying a country girl as soon as I got married, and forget about it in the house later. We don't have many opportunities to go to Beijing throughout the year, and the number of embarrassing times is always small.  I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡±

    Didn't you expect that when the Marquis of Xiangyang heard these words passed into his ears, he was so surprised that he was sober from drinking. Those who originally wanted to snicker secretly, this time they were afraid that their mouths would be shut.  Say it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
