Chapter 913 (Part 2)

When Chu Yu took the carriage and arrived outside the second gate, Li had already received the news and asked his maid Xiu Ge to take two little girls to the outside the second gate to greet him.

Looking at Le Chun, Le Qiu carefully helped Chu Yu get off the carriage. Although Xiu Ge felt strange, he still took a step forward and said with a smile: "Please pay tribute to your wife. The old lady has received the news and is waiting."

Chu Yu nodded, let go of Lechun, Leqiu's arm, and entered the second door.

In the room in Lanyuan, Li calculated the days and said to himself: "Why did you go back so early... If you stayed for a few more months, you would have it..."

She remembered clearly that her husband had specifically explained that the decline of descendants was a taboo for the family to prosper. If her son was thirty years old and still had no children, she would ask her to persuade her wife to take a concubine to Cao Yong.

My son is 28 years old this year. She doesn't want to be a bad mother-in-law who forces her daughter-in-law to take a concubine, so she is looking forward to having a legitimate grandson.

When Li saw his wife come in, he had to complain a few times and said, "Why are you disobedient? Didn't you ask you to take him in Rehe and come back with Tianyou?"

"The master has followed his entourage and wants to be able to return to Rehe in September. It is not cheap to bring his family. He is worried that the old lady and the children will be sent to the wife to return to Beijing first." Chu Yu replied softly.

Li glanced at Chuyu's stomach, sighed with regret, and said, "I've been there for only two months after a while."

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and told him that he was pregnant.

In the past two days, she has been afraid. If she makes mistakes when she travels like this, she will not have the shame to tell her mother-in-law and her husband. After all, she has to rest for the first three months of pregnancy.

After hearing this good news, Li didn't care about blaming his wife for being careless. He was already a little excited and said, "I have it, really? Blessed by our ancestors, I will tell the master now..."

When she walked to the door, she stopped and looked at Chu Yu and said, "You have just returned and you must be exhausted. Go back and rest quickly." As she said, she said, "Look at me, I am so irritable. For such a happy event, we should choose a good day. Let's go to the ancestral hall to tell the master together."

Chu Yu said: "My wife is not tired. She has already rested outside the city yesterday. I'd better go to Shaoyuan to invite her grandmother to her before going back."

Seeing that she was no different, Li nodded and said, "I will go with you, and I will also make your grandmother happy."

In the Shaoyuan, Gao Taijun was picking up Buddha beans.

I heard that my grandson-in-law was back and still pregnant, so she didn't say anything disappointing. She just left Chu Yu to say a few words and sent her back to rest early.

Chu Yu didn't see Xiangyu, so he was a little worried and asked casually. She remembered clearly that her husband was very careful about the cousin of the Li family, fearing that she would play with her own boy.

I heard that I was learning needlework at Madam Zhang’s place, Chu Yu felt at ease. He left the two elders and returned to Wutongyuan...

Outside the Great Wall, the Sea of ​​Cyrano, the Holy Driving is here.

Today, several Mongolian princes came to pay tribute, and the station was lively.

To give a banquet, various rewards were arranged. The Sixteenth Prince brought everyone in the Internal Affairs Office and the officials of the Lifan Court to form a group of people.

Cao Yong is not considered leisure now, but his life is not easy.

The reason was nothing else. Just because the Fourth Prince accidentally saw Cao Yong reading the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" a few days ago, he eagerly became a teacher, completely ignoring whether Cao Yong was willing to accept it.

In his words, Cao Yong was able to know his own shortcomings. He did not "pretend to understand if he didn't understand", which was considered to be a steady behavior. However, books are dead, and some experiences cannot be learned from books.

Cao Yong was extremely depressed and had to accept it happily on his face, satisfying the Fourth Prince's wish to be a teacher.

Since then, Cao Yong was called to the fourth prince to teach "homework" by the fourth prince at other times, except for sorting out official documents with the official officials of the Ministry of Revenue or taking turns to the emperor.

Cao Yong felt it was difficult at first. After all, he was not a child anymore and was facing the serious fourth prince. If he was feeling well, he would have problems.

However, with the Fourth Prince's simple and easy-to-understand principles, combined with the court's measures on agricultural affairs in the past decade, and the summary of the agricultural and sericulture situations in various places, Cao Yong has more comprehensively concluded the distribution and development of Qing Dynasty agriculture.

In Cao Yong's heart, from the initial helplessness, what was left was admiration.

Among them, the Fourth Prince focused on the drawbacks of national agricultural taxes and local money arrears, and said with great sensation: "The amount of quota is not fixed, and it is difficult to collect quota silver. It is imperative to 'spread quota to earn a mu'!"

Since the 50th year of Kangxi, Kangxi issued the edict of "adding children in prosperous times and never adding taxes" and abolished the tax on births after the 51st year of Kangxi. This "spending resident into a mu" has been repeatedly mentioned in front of the Taiwan Strait.

However, land annexation is powerful and is mostly concentrated in the hands of gentry. At the top of them are officials and royal family members, and there are strong oppositions to this policy.
