Chapter 40: Go to the south of the city
Only after leaving Hongyi Palace did Yin Qingfeng truly relax.
With his head, he could only think of so much. Whether Li Shimin adopted his advice or followed the old ways, he had tried his best.
If he adopts his suggestions, refine and implement them in detail, I believe there are those Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui's advisers to think about it.
If Changsun Wuji does not even count the two swords when he manages political affairs seriously, he will definitely do this trick.
Seeing Yuemei and the white horse behind her, Yin Qingfeng felt even more at ease. He bowed deeply to Li Jinan beside Yuemei, "Boy is thanked for the careful care of the general manager, and I am grateful and remembered in my heart."
Li Jinan showed a kind smile again, "Princess Yueli is very kind and respects our family very much. The little man will give up the princess in the future, so he must treat her well." As he said, he glanced at Yuemei.
Yin Qingfeng was embarrassed. He hadn't seen this wife yet. The family was worried about it. "Please rest assured to the general manager."
"Yesterday, the princess had sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to inform him that the little husband and the little wife had no return. The princess said that the little husband had been tired all night and would invite the little husband to come over and talk to him another day."
Yin Qingfeng said in his heart, "Okay, these couples say the same thing."
"That kid said goodbye to the supervisor."
On the other side, Yuemei also said, "Yuemei said goodbye to the general manager."
After leaving the Xizhengyuan, Yuemei and Yin Qingfeng got on the horse, "Mr. Lang, do you want to know what the princess looks like?"
Yuemei didn't ask what Yin Qingfeng did last night, but instead joked with Yin Qingfeng mischievously.
Yin Qingfeng slapped her little head lovingly. If it were placed on modern girls, she would have digged to the ancestral tomb.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Yin Qingfeng and Yuemei went to Yin Yuan, Pei and the others greeted him, and then left on the excuse of going back to take a break.
Yuemei hummed a song and went to count the return gifts sent by Princess Changsun yesterday, while Yin Qingfeng pondered his thoughts. The so-called thoughts are to judge what Li Shimin should do.
The Xuanwu Gate Incident still unstoppable. Yin Qingfeng could not give up. It was just that he spent more time to remedy Li Shimin's image. If Li Shimin listened to his advice, it would probably be that Li Shimin would not have to wait less than two years before he would solve Li Shimin's group.
If this is the case, he would have to find an opportunity to tell Li Shimin that he should be gentle in dealing with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and he should not leave any troubles. He should not have another dispute in order to fulfill his filial piety and brotherhood.
For Li Jiancheng, he was only considered unlucky. He met such a younger brother who was more capable and ambitious than him; but if the historical books did not have much difference in the records of Li Yuanji, then Yin Qingfeng would have no sympathy for him.
That night, Yin Qingfeng went to Yin Yuan and Pei, and Wen officially mentioned that he was going to Wutong Villa.
"...so the child can only stay away from the mansion for a while, and wait until he gets on track before coming back. The child apologized to his three close relatives here and forgives him for not greeting him every morning and evening."
Yin Yuan was the happiest person for this concubine's son to be valued by Li Shimin. "Since the King of Qin trusts Feng'er and entrusts such an important thing to you, you should do your best.
For your father and you, both are still strong, so don’t worry if you are away.”
But Yin Yuan said and comforted Wen, who had not spoken much, after all, Yin Qingfeng was her son. But she had never had much say, so she could only look at Yin Qingfeng worriedly.
"I heard that the manor was a place where a former Sui official spent the summer, and the scenery was very good. Aye and his two mothers could take their brother and sister to stay for a few days from time to time."
Pei nodded, "...Seventy miles are not too far, you can get there in less than three hours."
"If the child wants to bring some people over, he probably needs a housekeeper and a few servants. Yin Liang and some other family members also want to go there, so please help me arrange it."
Pei was very happy about Yin Qingfeng's request. Yin Qingfeng was willing to take the people in the mansion out instead of using his own people, which shows that Yin Qingfeng was not free from the mansion, so she agreed very happily.
Through Yin Liang, Yin Qingfeng learned that there were more than 40 family generals in the Duke of Yun’s mansion, all of which were left by Yin Qiao.
When Yin Yuan accepted the Duke's Mansion, even when the finances were insufficient, these family generals were not laid off because this involved face-saving issues.
When people in the Tang Dynasty traveled, they did not look at what car you drove like in modern times, but the number of family generals in your family. As a Duke-level figure, it would be a joke if Yin Yuan had few family generals around him when he went out, so Yin Yuan gritted his teeth and kept these family generals in the mansion.
Yin Qingfeng also wanted to take Wang Xiongxian and others to the villa. After all, in comparison, he was more familiar with the people around Du Fuwei. However, Yin Qingfeng was afraid that Li Shimin would have any suspicion, so he gave up this idea.
As Shan Yunying was getting heavier, Yin Qingfeng did not go to Chang'an Street with Yuemei to watch the fun on the Lantern Festival, but went to Du Fuwei's place.
On the 18th day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Wude, it is advisable to travel, open, and marry.
On this day, Yin Qingfeng was about to start living alone.
At one moment, outside the Duke of Yun's mansion, more than a dozen people including Yin Qingfeng, Yuemei and Yin Liang were kneeling on the ground.
"Aye, stepmother, please take care of me! The child is gone. Brother, sister, and younger sister take care of three more relatives for me!" After that, Yin Qingfeng kowtowed a few more times before getting up.
Yuemei and Yin Liang and other generals next to him also said goodbye in unison: "Please don't worry, Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Wen, Yuemei (Yin Liang) will take good care of the husband."
Wen took Yin Qingfeng's hand and said to him crying: "Feng'er, take care of yourself."
"My grandma, don't worry. There is Yuemei serving the child and Liang uncle taking care of the child. The child will not be cold or hungry. If the child comes back next time, he will become tall and mighty, so mom, don't not know the child!"
Wen was amused: "You kid, you know how to make your mother happy."
Yin Qingfeng continued to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, mom, it's not that the child cannot come back. If the three parents miss her, just ask someone to drive a carriage to take you to see her. It doesn't take an hour for the child to come back on a horse."
Yin Yuan stopped crying when he saw Wen, saying, "Feng'er went to serve the King of Qin this time. There are fathers and your mother in the family to take care of the business, and your mother takes care of the things in the mansion. If you have any questions, I will send someone to ask you again. Don't worry."
Pei continued: "Be careful of everything Feng'er goes here, and don't worry about the affairs in the mansion."
"Brother Feng..." "Brother..." "Brother..."
After saying goodbye to his family, Yin Qingfeng took the little girl and Yin Liang away.
Yin Liang led the way in front, not the road that was heading south outside the city gate, but turned westward to Anhua Gate and then headed southwest.
Yin Qingfeng, who had been walking this road for the first time, asked, "Uncle Liang, where did the main road outside Mingde Gate lead just now?"
"Langjun, that road leads to Ziwu Road. Once you enter Ziwu Road, you can go to Jingchu or Bashu."
Yin Qingfeng said: "It turns out to be a famous ancient plank road. I will go and see it if I have the chance in the future."
At this moment, Yin Qingfeng felt as if he had left the cage and shouted: "Niuer, run, see how far the convoy has gone, let's chase after him." As he said that, Yin Qingfeng knocked Bai Xue under his body with his heels.
Bai Xue instantly increased her speed quickly. Even if the road conditions were very bad, it would not delay her speed. I just felt sorry for Yin Liang and other generals who rushed to chase the horse, but they could only eat dust in the back.
A fleet of more than 30 carriages was led by a manager named Yin Hanlai in his thirties. Clothes, bedding, pots, pans, bedding, desks, pens, ink, paper and ink, etc., were sent to transport them yesterday. Now the carriage is loaded with fabrics and daily necessities prepared for the tenants.
The convoy set off after the city gate opened, and there were a large group of people sixty or seventy miles away. It would be impossible not to set out earlier.
After one horse and two horses crossed a wooden bridge that was more than 100 meters wide, he caught up with the convoy. Yin Qingfeng slowed down his horse speed by the convoy, "Han is in charge. I heard that there is a farmhouse nearby in our mansion. Do you know where it is?"
"Let me go back to my husband, I have passed by the fields of the village just now, but the village is located a few miles west of the main road, so I didn't notice it."
Yin Qingfeng looked back and said, "So that's it." I don't know how many acres of land there are in that farm. Does Han know if it's in charge?"
"Before the young one was responsible for managing that farm. There were 120,000 acres of land in that farm."
After listening to Yin Hanlai's brief introduction, Yin Qingfeng quickly calculated in his heart: "Ten hundred and twenty thousand plus the 180,000 villa, exactly 300,000 acres.
If we calculate based on our improved planting technology, it will be about 24,000 tons of sorghum alone a year, soybeans and wheat will be more, and fresh alfalfa will be 130,000 tons.
During the young cattle period, we eat five kilograms a day, ten kilograms a day during the fattening period, and twelve kilograms a day during the top dressing period; during the mature period, we eat twenty kilograms a day. Now we have 340 cows, and we have to eat nearly seven tons a day. In a year, we have to eat more than 2,500 tons. In addition, we have a few horses, and 3,000 tons a year is enough.
With green grass, straw and other green feed, the land is very rich. It seems that we need to plan these lands well."
Yin Han saw Yin Qingfeng and saw that the sky didn't say anything, and he didn't know where he was right, so he was nervous.
Yin Qingfeng, who woke up from deep thoughts, then asked: "Han came to take charge of the matter. What did he planted before that 120,000 acres of land?"
"I went to Langjun, I planted 90,000 mu of millet and beans there last year, and 1,000 mu of various fruit trees, and the rest were all planted with vegetables."
"I heard that the village is close to the Fenghe River?"
"I can see you fifteen or six miles away from the Fenghe River to the west, but the east is close to the Shui River."
"Will Hanlai know where barley and sorghum are planted around?"
"I went to Langjun, I planted a little sorghum last year on the land opposite the Feng River."
Yin Qingfeng calculated, "When the villa is settled, please help Han, and I will work hard to find the farms within a hundred miles around and the farmers. When I came back, I told me how many acres they each had, and then signed the agreement at that time.
The content of the agreement is to let them all plant sorghum, barley and beans. As for the purchase price, it is calculated based on the price of grain at the autumn harvest by 10% higher. If there is alfalfa, you can also purchase it."
