When Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) came closer, he saw Zhu's waning-moon face, with a long pointed chin, glaring at Xiahouqu with a beard, and felt extremely happy.
The images of the two are so exaggerated and cartoonish. Are they really the reincarnations of Zhu Yuanzhang and Cao Cao?
I have already made inquiries a long time ago. Today, Mr. Xiao Jia, the prefect of Heilongjiang, is coming for a private visit "incognito". He wants to buy land in the northeast, within twenty miles of the prefect's Yamen.
Zhu Ba Shi and Xia Hou Qu felt happy.
The land near the magistrate's office is sparse, and there are no crops but grass. The grass is full of bean sprouts, and there is not enough seed money to plant something.
Zhu Bashi and Xia Houqu made an appointment to meet today, but they were not arguing over the water source, but over killing this dandy disciple from the capital, Mr. Xiao Jia, who "doesn't know the fireworks of the world" and "can't tell the difference between wheat seedlings and leeks."
I also heard that the biggest characteristic of Mr. Jia is that he is "stupid if he has too much money."
The vendors who were selling candied haws at the market early yesterday morning were quite lucky.
A bunch of candied haws gourds can be sold for ten ounces of copper. Because the prefect's beautiful "First Lady" likes to eat them, Mr. Xiao Jia buys all kinds of candied haws gourds at a high price.
Officials have a lot of money, especially I heard that Mr. Jia, a young man, has a lot of mines at home, and the floors are paved with gold bricks.
If you don't make money as an official, you won't make it in vain. Small vendors sit on the ground and raise their prices, selling a bunch of candied haws for ten bucks.
Ten bucks is enough to buy half the basket.
The "Tanghu Luzhang" Zhang Hemp Seeds on the street are very flexible in their business. They use yams to thread skewers and sprinkle a few grains of drunk Shanlihong on top.
Zhang Jazi made the most money yesterday.
Today, Zhu Bashi and Xiahou Qu are going to sell this piece of sloping land for twenty taels of silver per hectare.
Twenty taels is enough for ten hectares of good land.
Even though these slopes are so close to the Xiaohei River, I can't help but watch the river flow, but I can't get up.
There is no irrigation, so we can only plant some beans. The seedlings are very sparse, and we can't produce half a bushel of beans per acre. We don't even have enough money for seeds.
Last night, Zhu Bashi and Xia Houqu mobilized the villagers to transplant several slopes of seedlings overnight. Looking at it now, the patches of green will definitely be able to dazzle Mr. Xiao Jia.
Seeing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) approaching, Zhu Baashi and Xiahouqu pretended to have a quarrel.
Xia Houqu stroked his beard with his hand and shouted: "Zhu Ba Shi, you can't blindly identify these five points of land here. Whoever owns it belongs to him. This has a land deed. This is water-irrigated land, and one point of land is
If two bushels of good beans can be produced, then ten bushels of beans will be equal to five cents of the land..."
Zhu Ba Shi seemed to be anxious, blowing his beard and glaring, "Come on, I've been farming this land for more than 20 years, let's do this, I'll give you two buckets a year..."
Watching the two Li Zheng's performances, with focused expressions and exaggerated expressions, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) felt angry and funny.
I'm not in a hurry, the sun is hot, and in less than half an hour, the seedlings you transplanted will wilt.
Let’s see what you say then?
Seeing that the two of them were still performing to their heart's content, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) simply walked around along the slope, sometimes squatting down to observe the seedlings.
The two of them took a look and realized that this was not possible. After half an hour, the seedlings would wilt and the stuffing would be leaked.
Hurry up and catch up.
"Brother, what do you do?" Zhu Ba Shi asked, flicking a few whiskers on his chin.
"Boss, are you okay with last year's harvest? Is there enough food to eat?"
"The harvest is okay, and the food is barely enough to fill our stomachs. The war is in chaos, and there are not enough manpower... It's hard to say this year... This year is the Fire Year, there is a severe drought, and people will starve to death again... Young Master, you
What do you do?" Xiahou Qu asked.
"Don't you already know that you are buying land?"
After hearing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s words, the two Lizhengs were shocked and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) squatted on the ground and greeted: "Both husbands, come here. This seedling is very special. If my guess is correct, it should be a ginseng seedling. Ginseng is a thing that eats soil to gain fertilizer. As long as there is
It and the flowers and plants around it don’t want to grow well. Also, these seedlings have everything, soybeans, mung beans, wheat, alfalfa... Are you going to do interplanting?"
When you hear this, you are a great expert.
The two of them were feeling awkward.
As he approached, he quickly knelt down and bowed, "The people in Shangzhai Village and Xiazhai Village are paying homage to the magistrate."
"Everyone, get up. This land is on a high ground. If you pump water using normal methods, it will definitely not grow... The land is good, but it lacks water, and it faces the sun. If the sun shines directly on it, any fertile land will be lost.
"
Unexpectedly, he is really an expert, and he can see the key point at a glance.
"Yes, the land is fertile, good soil, but there is no water. We have to rely on the weather for food. The slopes cannot hold water, and the quality is getting worse year by year..." Xiahouqu said with emotion.
"To grow crops on the land, you can plant some trees around and plant drought-resistant millet inside..."
"Sir, this land... do you still want to buy it?" Zhu Shiba was most concerned about this.
"As for the land, you can buy it or not. If there is water, I will pay any amount of money."
"Sir, with water, this land will become fertile land...there is no need to sell it..."
Grabbing a handful of soil from the ground and kneading it, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said: "For this land to be fertile, it must be transformed by people. The land is dead, but people are alive. I want to make this fertile black land
It has become a granary, the world’s largest granary. I want everyone not to be hungry, to be full, and to eat well..."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said with high spirits.
It's the world's granary. It would be nice to be able to fill your own stomach.
Nowadays, all the officials are so unreliable, making false promises and making false promises.
The goodwill that was just established disappeared in an instant.
Xiahouqu gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say, "It's good for you to have such a kind heart. However, we common people are afraid of being deceived by officials. You want to get some qualifications here so that you can get promoted.
Or do you sincerely do practical things for us people?"
"Of course it's for the common people."
"That's good... Your Majesty just said that the ground is dead and people are alive. Does that mean you have a way to turn this dry slope land into irrigated land?"
"There are some ways..."
"Sir, if you carry it on your shoulders, it goes without saying that the amount of work is huge and the wages are not enough..."
"Just a few... no, about ten people. I guarantee that within a few days, we can turn these thousands of hectares of dry slope land into irrigated land and turn it into fertile farmland."
"If that is really the case, it will be a blessing to the people..."
"Let's see, you two husbands, that's all we've said. If I turn this dry slope land into fertile farmland, you will work with me to turn this fertile black land into the world's granary. What do you think?
"
"Can a dozen people really turn it into a watered field? Or within a few days?"
Zhu Bashi was a little excited, because 70% of the thousand hectares of slope land belongs to them. If it can really be turned into irrigated land, how much better will the life of everyone in the village be?
"In this way, words are unfounded and facts are the criterion. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will perform a trick for you to see what I can do. Tomorrow, you will organize all the people in the village to come and watch..."
After seeing off the two father-in-laws, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) stood on the slope, daydreaming.
The little emperor asked for the construction of Northeast China.
How to build?
There is no stability without food, and there is no business without trade.
Tomorrow is an opportunity to build a large granary in Northeast China.
