The third brother didn't do good things all day long. A few days ago, he actually took Princess Jinyang to hit the cow's butt with a slingshot. This matter reached His Majesty's ears. The child was also scolded!" I pointed at the third brother who was dodging his eyes and accused him angrily.

My mother was angry and funny when she heard this. She pointed at the third brother and couldn't say a word for a long time. She finally shook her head and said angrily: "Boy, what are you doing! No wonder your second brother wants to beat you, you deserve it!"

"Mom, I can't blame me for this. Who told Princess Jinyang to say that I'm not as good as her father's slingshots? Her father can shoot animals that run? As a man from the Fang family, naturally, women can't look down on her." The third brother was very serene and authentic with a pair of red wind-catching ears.

I was so happy that the men in the house should not be looked down upon by women. Look, our third brother is too capable, right? My mother couldn't bear it and fell to the couch. When the third brother saw that everyone was laughing, he naturally thought it was nothing. He felt relieved and was also happy. He said proudly: "Princess Jinyang finally said that the child is unparalleled in the world. Oh! Second brother, what are you doing?!"

The third brother rubbed his head and looked at me grinning at me, who was still grinning. "What are you doing? Humph, the third brother, you should be ten years old now, right? Why are you uneasy all day long? Are you a man from the Fang family? You can't just play slingshots? According to you, then all men in the world are all slingshot masters?"

When dealing with the third brother, we should not blindly use violent means. My mother was full of laughter and looked at me gently and pulled the third brother to sit aside and teach with a pleasant look. Anyway, my mother was happy and leisurely. The most important thing was that my mother thought that I could be the master of the prince, so she could naturally deal with the third brother's stubborn donkey.

After a few steps, the third brother finally lowered his head. Although he was still stubborn, I naturally knew what the little guy was thinking when he grew up. He rubbed the third brother's head and said, "Then go, look at my sister and your nieces, remember. You are a man in my house, and you should be responsible for your work."

"Well, I remember! Mom, then I'm going to play." The third brother nodded vigorously, turned his head and called to his mother. The mother nodded slightly: "Go, don't cause trouble! Erlang. Come over, I have something to say to you."

"Mom has something to say, but it's okay to say it." I watched the third brother jump out of the door, and Fang Zi walked over to his mother's side and sat down. Then the mother took out a letter from her sleeve. "Okay, this is what your elder brother sent to you. Open it and take a look. What's going on."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"When did the big brother come from the letter? He knew I was back?" I took the letter hesitantly. Looking at my mother, she smiled and said, "There is also a letter to your father and me. This letter is specially sent to you, so I didn't have time to tear it down, so I brought it to you directly."

"Oh!" I tore open the envelope, and only then did I know what was going on. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and slapped it on my thigh and said excitedly: "Mom. Happy Mom, my elder brother has done the big thing."

"What's the big deal?" My mother also stared curiously and came over. I quickly handed the letter in my hand to my mother. "Mom, my brother has conducted trial planting of Chameng rice in twelve prefectures and counties in the east of Jiangnan this year. The Chameng rice in these twelve prefectures and counties have been planted for two seasons, and two seasons have been harvested. The rice harvested for each acre of 5 and a half stones per acre of rice is harvested. Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Wenzhou, Taizhou, Hangzhou, and Suzhou have achieved a high-yield rice harvest of six stones per acre!"

I was so excited that my mouth was trembling. I was so obedient. My elder brother was really investing in it. Although these were only experimental fields of the government. Each state was only a thousand acres, only Suzhou was higher. After all, my elder brother was in charge, and the experimental fields here were as high as 3,000 acres. However, this achievement was enough to shock and pride the world. In the twelve states alone, there were nearly 14,000 acres of paddy fields, and the total output was as high as 77,000 stones of grain, which was slightly higher than the usual rice yield.

"So much?" My mother was also shocked. Although my mother was a lady from a wealthy family, as my father had many years, many of her father's government affairs were helped by her. Under the slightest sensation, she still knew that some people's livelihood and national affairs were generally the annual output of Tang Dynasty rice was about three stones. After two years of going out, the output per mu was doubled. Anyone would be shocked by such achievements.

The eldest brother is also quite scheming. The prefectures and counties he chose are all hot in the climate, or they try to rely on the prefectures and counties in the south. The frost-free period and climate here are more suitable for the cultivation of two-season rice. For example, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Hengzhou, Shaozhou and other places.

The elder brother waited until the last sickle rice harvest and grinded the rice to weigh it. Fang Zi calculated the numbers sent from various places. He then entrusted the local Jinzouyuan office to send the good news home. In addition, he also told me to ask Uncle Li to send prisoners of war to Liuqiu to build a permanent cement wharf. According to the elder brother's letter, the skilled craftsman of the Ministry of Works came up with a way to build a long dike in the sea with soil and stones, then inlaid it with wooden boards and stakes, poured out large cement pieces, and then sank into the sea to protect the entire long dike. In this way, they forced to use this method to create a experimental dock. The firmness and fire resistance are naturally unsaid, and it is far more durable than the previous wooden docks.

Looking at my elder brother's smooth and graceful calligraphy, I looked surprised and looked surprised. I never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, but today, I realized that the ancients were far from being comparable to the invention and creativity of me, a third-rate teacher. They were so powerful.

"Mom, since my family has received the letter, I want to go back to the yamen to take a walk." I stood up excitedly, and I was so excited that I couldn't suppress my place. The sooner Uncle Li knew about this news, the better the spring plowing of Jiangnan Road next year, and this great event would definitely earn more political reputation for my elder brother.

My mother nodded in understanding, stood up, and sorted out her hanging hair for me. "Go and go early and come back early, and at night, it will also make your father happy."

"Well, the kid will say goodbye first." After saying goodbye to his mother, he hurried out of the mansion and headed straight into the Zuoyuan. Sure enough, when we entered the door, Li Xiaode, Qiu Danmo and others rushed over happily: "Master Fang, the great joy is definitely a great joy. Jiangnan Road successfully tried planting Chameng rice, and they planted it for two seasons in one breath..."

Everyone was talking in a slight manner, and I received the information with a smile. I knew that since the elder brother's letter had come, the news of entering the Zuoyuan must have been received. Well, fortunately, there was a pigeon transmission. If the message was transmitted according to the usual old methods, the message would have to be at least half a month later. Although it is not the information age, the speed of the message transmission is also related to the speed of the Tang Empire's handling of events in various places, which is very important.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

When Uncle Li was curious that I was going back, I handed over the information in my hand to Uncle Li. Uncle Li only took the first look and stood up from the short couch. His expression seemed quite excited, and his mouth was excitedly pursed into a line. After looking carefully, Uncle Li raised his head and looked back at Zhao Kun, who would never stay away from him forever, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Transfer my edict to let officials of the three provinces and six ministries come to Qifeng Pavilion immediately, and I have important matters to discuss."

Zhao Kun turned his promise and walked out of the door quickly. After he told the guards outside the door, he heard many noise and rapid footsteps running towards the distance. Uncle Li sat down, and I also took the tea handed over by the palace maid next to me, took a sip. The hot tea made a warm feeling float in my belly after running around in the ice and snow for a long time.

Not many, the senior officials from the three provinces and six ministries who received the nervous call from Uncle Li came one after another. The Qifeng Pavilion, which was originally not small, was also slightly crowded. The old man also came and squatted here, he was stunned, and nodded slightly at me, and sat down safely. After everyone sat down, Uncle Li picked up the love swept on the table and handed it over to my old man who sat down.

Uncle Li couldn't wait to finish my old man's reading, and he couldn't wait to speak, "I urgently ordered all my dear friends to come over to announce a great joy. The Jiangnan Road Observer heard the news through the Jinzouyuan that at the beginning of this year, the twelve prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Road opened experimental fields to test the planting of Chameng rice. They all successfully harvested two seasons, and the average harvest of rice was five and a half stones. Among them, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Wenzhou, Tanzhou, Chenzhou and Suzhou are the most abundant rice yields and hot climates. The average harvest of rice yields reached six stones!"
