Chapter 62 The Power of Seeds
Yun Zhao is extremely looking forward to Xu Guangqi’s package!
He didn’t know what was inside, he only knew that if all the things he needed could come over, he would be able to improve the food shortage situation of the people in Guanzhong.
Although it is impossible to achieve success overnight, he hopes to be able to plant a large number of plants through his own trial planting.
The mailing system of the Ming Dynasty was very developed. At least, Yun Zhao thought so. People could mail people and goods together, and it was very reputable.
Yun Zhao received his package and a person at the same time.
Yun Zhao is not interested in this person at all, he only cares about three carts full of seeds.
"This young man, may I ask where my second son is?"
Yun Zhao pulled out a corn cob from the carriage and let out a long sigh of relief, then got in again. The carriage continued to tinker.
A half-foot-long sweet potato was held in Yun Zhao’s arms and was reluctant to let go.
"Young man, may I ask where my second son is?"
Yun Zhao looked up at the old servant with white beard and hair and said, "Where are the potatoes I want?" ?”
The old servant said with a smile: “You mean Dutch potato?”
Yun Zhao frowned and said: “Have the Dutch established a country?”
The old servant smiled and said: "No, it is still under the rule of the Spanish."
"Where are my potatoes?"
"Dutch potatoes!"
< p>"From now on, he will be called Tudou!"The old servant didn't want to argue with Yun Zhao, so he came to another carriage, opened a box, took out a fist-sized potato and handed it to Yun Zhao: " The second master asked for Dutch potatoes, and the eldest master prepared two hundred kilograms of them!"
Yun Zhao rubbed the rough skin of the potatoes and whispered: "There are too few."
Old. The servant smiled and said: "This is half of the output of the master's experimental field."
"Have you calculated the yield per mu?"
"Two thousand six hundred catties, but this is ten The results of six farmers carefully tending this acre of land. The elder said that in Guanzhong, a sandy field of Tianzi size can produce about 1,800 kilograms. If Xiaolang hopes to plant in dry fields, the yield per mu will not exceed 800 kilograms. Jin."
It was easy to talk to this old servant, mainly because the way he spoke was a bit clear. Whether it was 'experimental field' or 'accounting', the two new terms did not need to be explained, they could just say it. understand.
The old servant naturally discovered this, but he was not surprised. After all, this fat kid should be the disciple of the second master.
After hearing what the old servant said about the yield per mu, Yun Zhao was a little disappointed. Judging from the average potato yield of eight thousand kilograms per mu in the villages where he helped the poor, the yield per mu had shrunk too much. .
"Xiaolang, where is my second son?"
Yun Zhao scratched his ears and said, "Sir, he said he is dead."
The old servant said this Without a word of surprise, he handed over his hand again and said: "PleaseXiao Lang told me, where did my Erlang die?
Yun Zhao pointed to the front yard of Yun's mansion and said: "He died in the school. He woke up once in the morning and ate a lot of food. It's noon now, so he probably died again." ”
The old servant smiled slightly, thanked Yun Zhao, and went straight to the school.
Yunmeng and the others had already unloaded all the goods on the carriage, which was full of things. It was spread all over the floor.
Potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes were the largest ones, and the rest were small bags of seeds. Many of them were unknown to Yun Zhao, but Yun Zhao still knew the pepper seeds.
While waiting for the seeds to arrive, Yunzhao had already dug the cellar where the seeds were stored.
Watching the things go down into the cellar, Yunfu personally packed the cellars. Lock it and hang the key on your waist.
Leave the valuables to Yun Fu for safekeeping. Until now, Yun Zhao can't find where the Yun family's arsenal is. p>"Are these things useful? "Yunfu looked at the cellar and then at Yun Zhao. This was the first time that he found that Yun Zhao valued something so much. At least, he picked up one of the two silver ingots in his arms yesterday.
“If done well, these things can mean a life. "
Yunfu nodded, squatted by the cellar and started smoking. It seemed that he was not ready to leave.
When Yunzhao returned to the school, his husband had obviously cried. The old servant was crying profusely. The big old man was crying so much that he was almost convulsed.
Yun Zhao pulled out a Dieffenbachia plant planted by his husband, loosened the soil, and planted two pepper seeds.
He didn’t know whether these pepper seeds could germinate into peppers. In short, he was a little anxious.
Xu Yuanshou pushed a baggage to Yun Zhao and said, “Repair the gate.
Yun Zhao curled his lips and said: "Too few, we can't build the gate." ”
“Two hundred taels is enough to build a gate. ”
“It’s not enough. The two stone lions squatting about one foot high at the door cost more than this.” "
"Why does the academy need stone lions? ”
“Suppress evil! "
Xu Yuanshou looked at Yun Zhao and said: "These two hundred taels should be enough to make a stone lion! ”
“Then make one first?” ”
“When I make one, I’m not afraid of slowness, but I’m afraid of stopping! ”
“Yunmeng is a very good stonemason! ”
“He can only carve a lion into a dog!” ”
Yun Zhao saw a smile on Mr. Xu’s face, waved his hand and left the room.
The gentleman’s mood improved. It seemed that he and his brother were not alone. The feelings are just knots in my heart that cannot be solved.
My mother is instructing the servants to move the food in the love warehouse to the mountains. The government is about to harvest the autumn grain, and it is not appropriate to put too much food at home.
When the family got rich, my mother was very confident, so the high wall at the entrance of the valley was thickened.some.
In the evening, Yunxiao, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, came back carrying a wooden box. He opened the wooden box and showed it to Yun Zhao, Yun Meng, Yun Hu and Yun Bao, and then handed it over to a bandit to take it out. .
“Kill Monk Peng so quickly?”
Yun Zhao was a little puzzled. According to his estimation, this matter would still take a lot of effort.
"The head was brought by Monk Peng's wife."
"What a ruthless woman!"
"You should say that she is a bold woman, she After killing her husband, she didn’t ask her brother to exchange money, but came with the head himself. He was smart. "
"You let that woman go?"
"No, I killed her after killing her brother."
Yun Zhao yawned and said, "Who will take over Yukou in Chang'an County?"
"Yun Zhao After Jiao left, Monk Peng's second and third bosses were killed by Yun Jiao, and the remaining people followed us."
"Move the people out and put them all in Qingyu, and build there. Reservoir, let’s open up wasteland! I want those lands next year." Yun Zhao thought for a while and made his decision.
"Qingyu cannot support five thousand people."
"If all the food and grass brought from Monk Peng are used, can it last for a year?"
Yun Xiao nodded and said: "If you can hold on, you will be a little more miserable. It's good to be alive these days. No one will complain about the hard life."
Yun Zhao said again before entering the mansion Yunmeng said: "If you eat my food, you must participate in military training. Everyone practices, regardless of men, children, women or the elderly!"
"All training?"
"All Practice, the court has ordered the formation of a group training, using this name."
"Are we bandits?"
Yun Fu interjected: "You can tell the difference clearly. Who is the regiment and who is the bandit? Do you expect those officials to be able to tell clearly?
It is very important for Yunmeng, Chang'an and Lantian counties to be integrated. The young master put Monk Peng in the camp. After the people have moved out, it will be convenient for you to rule the valley of Chang'an County.
This year and next, do not treat those people harshly, and do not let them eat too much. Give them food one day at a time. Afraid of trouble."
After hearing Yun Fu's words, Yun Zhao smiled and walked in.
The teacher was in agitated mood today and had no time to teach. Yun Yang went to the city wall construction site again, Yun Juan, and Yun Shu went to the mountains to dig yams again, and Huang Jing went, which is the staple food of the two brothers in the winter.
Yun Zhao looked back for a long time before he found Qian Shaoshao behind the gate.
“Can’t you stand in the sun?”
“No, girl in Mingyue Tower, the mothers think I’m unlucky, I can’t always be seen by them, you don’t know , I lived in my sister's skirt for a while."
"...No one will hit you here."
"I'd better be careful, you.Don't worry, my ears are very sharp. As long as you call me, I will definitely hear you. "
"What did you hear just now? "
"Monk Peng was killed by his wife. "
"Are you afraid? "
"Don't be afraid, it's not like you want to kill my sister!
Yun Zhao dug his ears and said helplessly: "Do you want to practice martial arts?" ”
“I have practiced! ”
“Have you practiced? Who taught you that? ”
“An old swordsman in Xi’an wanted to trick me into following him. I couldn’t bear to leave my sister so I didn’t go. However, he taught me a lot of things, such as how to hide.” "
"Why didn't you help your sister when she was snatched away by Yunhu? "
"I can't beat him, but I remember Yunhu's appearance...I plan to come to Yunhu and rescue my sister when I grow up. ”
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Shaoshao’s big black and white eyes and couldn’t help but shudder. If he hadn’t helped Qian Duoduo find her brother, God knows whether he would have been targeted by this guy. ……
