Lantian County has changed a lot, and so has the Wild Boar family.
Two years ago, a female wild boar was accompanied by eight cubs.
This year, she has fourteen cubs with her.
She has not become older, but she has become more powerful without one eye.
When Yun Zhao walked up Bald Mountain, she just raised her head and continued to lie on the boulder to dry her belly. Yun Zhao could see clearly that there were countless fleas running through her hair. .
Yun Zhao frowned and said to Qian Shao Shao beside him: "Tell the villagers that you are not allowed to occupy the wild boar bathing place in the future."
Qian Shao Shao sniffed and looked at Yun Zhao in surprise. Said: "Master, you are not really possessed by a wild boar spirit, are you?"
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "I also want to be a wild boar spirit, Xiaoao Mountain Forest is actually a good choice. "
"Do you come to see this big wild boar often?"
"Well, come when you have time, after all, it is my first friend."
< p>"What's wrong with its eyes?""A big boar fell in love with it, but it didn't want to."
"Oh, what a loyal pig!"< /p>
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "It may not be Zhenlie. If it were a boar, its cubs would be dead."
"Is that so?"
"I don't know, I just guessed it."
"I remember that wild boars are in groups. This sow is so strange. She brings a group of cubs by herself."
“The size of the pig herd is related to the amount of food around it, and also related to the kindness of the people around it.
You see, other wild boars will be hunted by the villagers. Because of my relationship, no one dares to touch this wild boar, so it knows that it is safe here, so its range of activities is fixed on Bald Mountain.
At the same time, other wild boars. They also know that if they dare to stay here, they will be hunted by the villagers, so they dare not come." Qian Shaoshao thought for a long time and said slowly: "Are you talking about us or not. This wild boar?"
Yun Zhao sighed: "It's all the same."
"When can we be proud of the mountains and forests?"
Yun Zhao. He patted Mr. Qian on the shoulder and said: "When you little wild boars all grow up, it will be time for us to explore the new world."
"In other words, if we work so hard, in the end It’s the same thing as this wild boar, and it’s depressing to hear.”
Yun Zhao smiled, waved to the big wild boar, and declined the invitation to go drink milk with Shao Shao Qian. We walked down Bald Mountain with our hands behind our backs.
As long as he sees this wild boar, Yun Zhao will always feel better.
He felt that he had initially overcome the disaster. Although it was only in Lantian County, this still gave him a strong sense of accomplishment.
However, he also knew that this worldThe world will not become better because of his efforts in Lantian County.
He knew that in August, Sun Chengzong would suffer the most tragic defeat at Daling River. From this battle, the Ming Dynasty would no longer be able to attack Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji would take advantage of it. This is a good opportunity to march into North Korea and Mongolia to complete their preliminary arrangements.
From now on, Huang Taiji can easily plunder the Central Plains, and Ming Dynasty has no power to fight back.
He also knew that in the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, "there were droughts in the north and floods in the south, locusts were everywhere, and there was severe famine in many places."
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, "from the north of Huaihe River to the south of Jinan, all the bark of the trees was eaten".
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the country experienced "severe drought, locusts, famine, and chaos, with people eating each other."
In the 16th year of Chongzhen's reign, "a great epidemic spread thousands of miles from north to south, reaching beyond the Great Wall in the north and crossing the Yellow River in the south. Only one person in ten households escaped from the disease.
He knew better that Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, Cao Cao, these people will truly step onto the stage of the Ming Dynasty until they turn the entire Ming Dynasty upside down."
Yun Zhao thought he was a participant in history. In the face of these major events, he felt sad. I found that I was just a spectator of history.
Although I went deep into it, I had no power to recover. I knew that a disaster was about to happen, but I couldn't say a word.
It was like a person from another space, shouting "danger" loudly across a barrier but no one listened, watching him slide into the abyss but unable to do anything.
Back on Zhuangzi, Yun Zhao finally met Huang Yongfa, a wealthy businessman from Zhangjiakou who came to discuss exchanging salt for grain.
I originally thought that this person would be a fair-faced and fat businessman. When Yunmeng met this person, Yunzhao transformed into a boy and watched from the side, only to realize that as long as he is a successful person, he has his own extraordinary qualities. side.
This man is more than eight feet tall, and he moves, sits and lies very well. Even when he is sitting on a chair and chatting and laughing with Yun Meng, he still keeps his back straight.
With thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose and a broad mouth, and a loud voice, he looks more like a horse thief than a businessman.
"He is just a horse thief."
When Yun Zhao went out, he happened to meet Chu Liu Ye who was recovering from his injuries. Hearing Yun Zhao's muttering, Chu Liu Ye just glanced at the sitting man. Huang Yongfa in the hall immediately concluded that he was a horse thief.
De Liuye’s left arm was injured and he still has difficulty moving, but this does not seem to prevent him from riding a horse.
"Why do you see that?"
"Do you think the way he is sitting on the chair looks like he is riding a horse?"
Yun Zhao looked back and nodded.
"Look at his back, is it straight?"
"That's right."
"Look at the position of his feet. Aren’t you a little bit of a catfish?”
Yun Zhao nodded again.
Chu Liuye chuckled and said: "I am the same!"
"Why can't he be a cavalry person like you?"
"That place in Zhangjiakou the cavalry itselfIt's a horse thief! There is no distinction between soldiers and thieves, so it would not be unfair to call him a horse thief. ”
Yun Zhao used to only know that Huang Yongfa was a big businessman in Zhangjiakou and had inextricable connections with Jiannu. He didn’t expect that this guy was actually a horse thief, which is very interesting.
p>As for whether Chu Liuye had wronged him or not, Yun Zhao didn't think it was important. Anyway, he wanted to trick this guy. Without a good excuse, he felt a little guilty for tricking someone who was so enthusiastic about doing business.
As long as a person who knows how to do business gives a gift, he will definitely touch the heart of the recipient.
In many cases, you can tell whether a businessman is good at it or not by the way he gives the gift. Business.
Obviously, Huang Yongfa is a good businessman. Seeing the cold autumn, he gave Yunniang a set of white fox fur cloaks. Yunniang couldn't put it down. Qian Duoduo blew the fur with his mouth and it was white. A whirlpool appeared on the fur.
“Sister, I will buy it for you in the future! ”
“Nonsense, your life is over? Such a fox fur coat can't be bought in Yangzhou for only 500 taels of silver. "
Qian Duoduo reluctantly put down his white fox fur, but he could not hide his eagerness.
"After Huang Yongfa visited the water conservancy project in Lantian County, he planned to bring our Lantian County It is designated as a grain-producing area and is willing to purchase 50,000 tons of grain every year at a price that is 10% higher than the market price.
Wheat is 30%, millet is 20%, millet is 30%, and sorghum is 20%. If the remaining grain is insufficient, sorghum can be used instead.
There are only two requirements, that is, 50,000 dans of grain must be provided at one time, rather than given piecemeal.
Another requirement is that the grain must be the new crop of that year, and sorghum cannot be shelled. ”
After Yunmeng discussed with Huang Yongfa, he came to the atrium to find Yun Zhao and Uncle Fu to discuss the feasibility of this matter.
Shopkeeper Yun of Xi’an Mansion was also there. After listening, After what Yunmeng said, he frowned and said: "Our Lantian County is not the main producing area of sorghum, why does he have to add sorghum to the grain?
This stuff is excellent for making wine. Steaming sorghum rice and eating it will irritate your throat somewhat. It is not as good as wheat, let alone millet and millet.
Why is it that the price is the same without shelling?
Could it be said that this is the benefit Huang Yongfa gave us? Do you want us to exchange millet and wheat for sorghum rice and then sell it to him?
Master, I think this is impossible, this is not how business is done! "
Chu Liuye squatting at the door smiled and said: "What's hard to explain? Grinding sorghum into powder and making porridge is a good thing to feed the foal." ”
“Wouldn’t millet porridge be better? ”
“Not as good as sorghum.” "Although Chu Liuye couldn't explain a single reason, he was very sure that his answer was correct.
Yun Zhao felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
However, This business obviously has great impact on Lantian CountyIt will be of great benefit to the people.
“Does sorghum have to be shelled?” Yun Zhao still didn’t understand these things.
Shopkeeper Yun quickly said: "After the sorghum is beaten, there is a hard shell on the outside. This usually needs to be removed. If the shell is removed, it can be used as seeds, but it is not delicious. I want the sorghum to taste better. Some, we need to peel the sorghum and turn it into sorghum rice.
In the past, the sorghum sold in our store was usually the husk of sorghum rice. Is it easy to get rid of it?"
Yun Zhao seemed to have discovered something and continued to ask.
Shopkeeper Yun said: "It is not easy to shell sorghum. It has to go through many processes. If the outer shell and hard skin are not removed, it will be difficult to eat."
Yun Zhao said with a smile. : "I understand, I want a batch of sorghum seeds, not sorghum rice."
