Mibao was so busy with her people that she forgot to promote the growth of sea buckthorn. When she looked in the morning, she saw a huge tent in the space.
Fortunately, sea buckthorn is a legendary dry land pearl. It is extremely drought-resistant and can be grown easily with just a little improvement. It is also extremely resistant to barrenness and cold and heat. Its vitality is simply the king of plants, and its vitamin content is also the king.
So it can be taken out and planted by everyone.
So when Shen Zhen came to give a lecture the next day, he found Tang Youxiang dragging a large bush of sea buckthorn branches as high as a mountain out.
Shen Zhen stepped aside strangely: "What is this?"
Tang Youxiang said: "I found it on the mountain. Mi Bao said it can be planted by the fence."
He pointed to the courtyard.
In the morning, before Mi Bao got up, a large pod appeared in the yard. He planted it all over the fence, and a bigger pod appeared again. He was going to drag it out and give it away.
Shen Zhen said: "Many people are outside my house."
Tang Youxiang waved his hand: "I know, I'm about to go there."
He just dragged him there and told everyone that when everyone heard that they were easy to grow and could grow small sour fruits, which were good for the health, they each pulled three or four branches and went home to plant them, along with the Shen family. Tang Youxiang also took matters into his own hands and planted four or five trees next to the pavilion.
Just after planting, I heard Tang Xiaoman shouting from outside: "Brother Youxiang! Are you here?"
Tang Youxiang responded, and Tang Xiaoman trotted in: "Brother Youxiang! Your uncle is here and said that he has something to do with the clan leader. I told the clan leader."
"Oh!" Tang Youxiang quickly patted the dirt on his hands and ran out. The clan leader also came out and asked him: "Xiao Man said, does your uncle have wheat seeds?"
Tang Youxiang nodded. The clan leader looked at the people around him and came over: "Mi Bao'er, have you ever talked to that guy?"
Tang Youxiang nodded again, and the clan leader stepped a little faster: "That's good, is it available in every village?"
Tang Youxiang still nodded.
The patriarch was very happy: "Then I'll be relieved."
The two trotted all the way to Laoerkou, where they met Fan Weiquan.
Fan Weiquan has already found someone to write the deed, and the meaning is very simple.
He sells extremely drought-tolerant wheat seeds. You can buy them directly. If you don't have money, each village can provide him with seeds on credit under the guarantee of the clan leader and Li Zheng.
He guarantees that the seeds will germinate, grow, and ear in this dry land. As long as they are not damaged, the yield per mu will definitely exceed 400 kilograms. When the time comes, he will pay back the seeds tenfold.
Nowadays, generally speaking, one acre of land requires 20 to 30 kilograms of planting. But if the seedlings can be guaranteed to emerge, then 20 kilograms of planting per acre of land is enough. You have to pay back 200 kilograms, or the money according to the market price at that time. Okay, you only need to pay back the money eight times.
It's really dark, but now it can save lives. Besides, people have said that this kind of seed is a good seed. As long as it grows well, it will be no problem to weigh more than 800 kilograms.
The patriarch found it incredible and asked: "Can it really weigh more than 800 pounds? Is it impossible? I'm just dreaming!"
Fan Weiquan came closer to him, lowered his voice and laughed: "Others don't believe it, but you don't believe it either?"
The clan leader didn't say anything, just nodded, turned around and asked Tang Youxiang to call two clan elders, and then several people left the village in a donkey cart and went to find Li Zheng.
The Li Zheng of the Daming Dynasty was not only "one mile long", but also had quite large authority. For example, the Li Zheng here was in charge of three nearby villages, Taoyuan Village, Fuguizhuang, and Shijiapo. Thousands of people.
In the first round, Fan Weiquan only found these three villages, and a group of old men got together to discuss it.
Fan Weiquan was nearby, analyzing the situation for them in a leisurely manner.
In fact, the patriarchs of each village are somewhat knowledgeable. Needless to say, they all understand the current situation. It is no exaggeration to say that they are counting the days and waiting to die.
So when a life-saving straw is handed to your hand, you have to accept it even if you don't accept it.
We didn't discuss it for long, we quickly made a decision, then calculated how many seeds each needed, and signed the deed.
Fan Weiquan did not forget to explain that there were people starving to death everywhere, so everyone must protect themselves, otherwise something would happen and people would snatch the food, but he would not care.
Everyone knew how powerful it was, and they all agreed.
It was the autumn harvest time soon, and things were done in a hurry. As soon as the deed was signed, in the evening, at the beginning of Xu (19:00), each village sent out a group of young and middle-aged people according to the amount of each village, driving donkey carts, ox carts, and horse carts.
, met outside the village, and Fan Weiquan took them to pull food at night.
Taoyuan Village had been talking about the school in the past two days, but as soon as this happened, they started talking about it again.
Someone asked the clan leader: "Shall we wait until harvesting before planting?"
"What do you think?" The patriarch glared at him: "How about I pull out the millet? I'm just asking nonsense!"
He waved his hand and asked everyone to gather closer, and said with a stern face: "Everyone, please keep your mouth shut when you go out at night! If you think your mouth is stupid, just shut it and stop talking nonsense! Those of you won't brag.
Cow hide can kill you, but if you brag about it, you will really die! The food, the school, and the sea buckthorn grown in this village are not allowed to be told outside! Whenever you talk to people, if it is difficult, just talk about yourself
It’s been a long time since I’ve had enough to eat. If you say that all the food in the fields is dead, don’t say anything else!”
Someone asked: "Why can't the school also say it?"
"Nonsense!" the patriarch glared and reprimanded him: "You haven't heard of that private school outside, you haven't been to it? How much money does it cost per month? The Shen family doesn't accept our money, so why don't we go out and tell the people outside the village if they know about it?
Come on, how can we hide the good things in our village? Are you annoyed by the whining noises every day? The Shen family is not short of money! They don’t expect this to make money! This is a favor for the children of our village!"
"So, remember it all! No one is allowed to tell anyone! Whoever spills the beans, let alone my son, my grandson will not even want to enter this school! The whole family will kneel for me in the ancestral hall for three days! I will beat you to death!"
"
The person who asked the question shrank his neck and became honest on the spot.
Tang Youxiang listened in the back and clicked his tongue in his heart.
Tell me about this brother-in-law, why he is so unreliable in doing things. When he comes, he doesn’t just bring the children over. The patriarch has already said this. If you think about it later, it will be troublesome again.
But anyway, the matter was settled. At night, Tang Youxiang and several others drove a car each and quietly left the village.
Mibao was lying on the couch, listening to the sound gradually moving away, and asked his mother: "Why don't you ask Mibao to go?"
Mrs. Fan is very good at picking up the pieces, so she said: "Because in other villages, only old men go there. If Mibao from our village goes there, everyone will know that Mibao is very powerful. This is the secret of our village."
, we can’t let outsiders know.”
Mi Bao suddenly nodded and asked, "Why didn't the second uncle come?"
Mrs. Fan said: "Dad asked, but my second uncle was guarding the food supply, so he didn't come."
Mi Bao suddenly nodded again. Mrs. Fan hugged her daughter and patted her gently: "Go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning, the food will be back."
So Fatty Zi closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Tang Youxiang and the others left the village and met up with the people from each village. They walked forward slowly, and the clan leader followed them. They were on strict guard all the way, fearing that people would say nonsense.
As a result, not long after they set out on the road, someone trotted over, jumped on their donkey cart, and said, "Chief Tang."
