Chapter 133 Women

"Issue corresponding instructions based on the demand for crops. If there are more instructions, the transformation will have an evenly distributed effect. If there are few instructions and they are concentrated on a certain aspect, the transformation effect will be more concentrated."

"The greater the investment in Yuan Qi, the better the transformation effect. The less the investment, the worse the transformation effect. Currently there is only one Bafang Pagoda under the Diji Yi. The amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi absorbed every day is constant at seven-tenths of the total. According to the eight directions The efficiency of the tower is used to set the amount of energy invested.”

Sun Xiucai listened to it and remembered it in his heart.

Afterwards, I personally operated it several times and became familiar with it before talking to Ying Yi about other things.

"The official documents from Kaifeng have arrived in Yuzhou." Sun Xiucai said: "My lord has been appointed as the commander of the Henan Guard. I am very happy and congratulated."

Ying Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Kaifeng is just showing goodwill, don't worry about it. We will wait until the emperor's decree comes down."

Sun Xiucai nodded, and then said: "My subordinates have discussed with Lord Zheng that seeds cannot be distributed for free. As the saying goes, people's needs have always been getting higher and higher. If it is free of charge at the beginning, they will not be able to distribute it for free in the future. Even more dissatisfied."

Ying Yi laughed when he heard this: "You are right. Just like a thief shouting the slogan of not paying food, can the world not pay food? At least for a long time, it is absolutely impossible. Therefore, the defeat of the intruder is destined in this sentence."

The so-called "not paying for food" is an empty talk. Not to mention this era, it will be the same hundreds of years later. It is true that there will be no more ‘paying grain’ after a few hundred years, but in other aspects, various taxes are still unavoidable. Without these, the country cannot function.

It's probably too far gone. It’s just that people’s hearts are not enough, and the benefits must be given bit by bit, never for free. If you give enough at one time, if you don’t give it next time, people will cause trouble.

"My lord is wise!" Sun Xiucai was sincerely convinced and said: "What Mr. Zheng and his subordinates want is for the people to exchange for the corresponding weight of grain. If not, then lend it to the people in the form of a loan, and wait until the people harvest the grain. Take it back exponentially.”

As he spoke, he paused: "The corresponding farm tools and plowing horses should also be handled according to this method."

After hearing this, Ying Yi nodded and said: "Very good. How to implement it depends on the actual situation. Make a good plan and file it."

"Yes, my lord."

One master and one minister, the two of them stood beside the Diji Yi for a long time. At midnight, Ying Yi saw Sun Xiucai's tired face and said, "I have remodeled it thirty times. I can't finish it the day after tomorrow. It will be done today." Here it is.”

He called Jiang Xi again: "Disband the slave workers and go back to rest. Come back tomorrow at midnight."

"Here."

Then he and Sun Xiucai walked out of the valley and went to sleep.

While walking, Sun Xiucai said: "My lord, Tian Hongyu is being detained in Crescent Valley. My lord, do you have time to go see him?"

Ying Yi was startled, then he remembered this royal relative, and said with a smile: "I have been so busy these days that I forgot about it. Well, after the seed transformation is completed, I will take the time to meet with him."

Sun Xiucai responded yes.

The Crescent Valley is now also used as a workshop, and the people there have long moved outside Xiaowangzhuang. Several large valleys in the center are used to build various workshops, and smaller ones are accommodation areas and storage areas.

The main accommodation area is already under construction. Now Ying Yi no longer has to live in a cave, there is a newly built house that can be moved into.

Although the house is new, it is empty. But there is no problem with Ying Yi.

Arriving in front of the house, Sun Xiucai bowed and said goodbye, and Ying Yi strolled in.

Nowadays, there are not many people in the valley, no more than there were more than 20,000 people in the past. Now, except for craftsmen, they are slave laborers. Therefore, the accommodation conditions are much relaxed. No need to squeeze in and out.

This courtyard is exclusive to Ying Yi. It is not exquisite, but it is clean and spacious, which is exactly what Ying Yi wants.

Although there are no waiters, all daily necessities are prepared in advance. Ying Yi, shirtless and bare-chested, fetched a bucket of water from the vat, planning to wash up before resting.

As for Ying Yi, his body was strong and energetic, and he was fine without much rest for more than ten days. But after all, my mind was a little tired.

These days, I have been carving Yuan Fu day and night, and my spirit is tense. It is more laborious than fighting ten battles.

A bucket of cold water was poured from head to toe, and Ying Yi let out a long breath, feeling refreshed.

At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Ying Yi thought that the scholar had something else to do, so he put down the bucket, took a few steps to the courtyard door and opened it. He looked up and was startled.

"You are..."

In the dark night, there were actually two graceful women standing outside the door.

When they saw the door opened and Ying Yi was shirtless and bare-chested, the two women couldn't help but blush. Then they saluted in unison, with their hands on their sides, and slightly bent their knees and said, "Nu Nu has seen you, sir."

The two voices, one as clear as a tinkling bell, the other as smooth as spring water, combined with the hazy and graceful body in the dark night, made Ying Yi's heart skip a beat and his blood surged.

He is a very normal man, with a strong body and abundant energy and blood, but he has been a monk for almost a year since traveling to this era. Fortunately, things are busy and I don't have much time to consider my physical needs. Otherwise, if I have a golden finger, I will have many wives and concubines.

Ying Yi's thoughts changed: "Did Sun Xiucai call you here?"

The two women talked about it, and Ying realized the next day that it was indeed Sun Xiucai's handiwork. It would be rude to say that Ying Yi's status is extraordinary and that no one would serve him.

Ying Yi also felt a little itchy, so you're welcome now. Since it's delivered to your door, why bother to be pretentious. These two seemed to be mature women, and they couldn't do it unless they were middle school students.

Then he let the two girls into the house and said with a smile: "You guys go in first and then talk after I take a bath."

The two women were silent, probably reluctantly, but their helpless look made Ying Yi even more excited.

After all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so two weak women had no choice but to go inside.

Ying Yi washed up again and then entered the house shirtless. The tung oil lamp in the room was dim and bright, and the two delicate women were sitting at the table, looking at each other in silence.

Ying Yi put on a single coat and sat down at the table.

Only then did his resolute and tough face appear in front of the two women.

The two women glanced at each other and lowered their heads.

Ying Yi smiled and said, "Where are you from? What's your name?"

Although his heart was moved, Ying Yi was not a cow, and he couldn't do the disgraceful thing of a cow chewing peonies. I plan to chat first and get to know each other better before talking, so there is no rush.

Then Ying Yi realized that he might have gotten a bargain.

It turned out that they were the ones Sun Xiucai proposed to Ying Yi to take concubines. They were the beautiful girls selected or captured by Tian Hongyu from the south of the Yangtze River.

The one with a voice as warm as a spring and a stunning appearance is Chen Yuanyuan. The one with a clear and heroic voice and a somewhat petite body is Li Xiangjun.

They are all stunning celebrities, which makes Ying Yi even more excited.

Ying Yi's gaze was very penetrating. The glance made Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun extremely uncomfortable. They had experienced a lot in the world of mortals, but they had never seen such a penetrating gaze. It was as if their clothes had completely lost their meaning.

The two women were a little scared and spoke to Ying Yi stumblingly. Tell Ying Yi what happened to them, hoping that Ying Yi would let them go.
