Chapter 134: Harvest
At three o'clock in the morning, Jiang Chengzi got up, washed hastily, and was still drinking porridge, so he asked Yunzhu Anian for news. Yunzhu was the insider of Ah Nian's marriage last night, and when she saw her girl asking like this, she couldn't help but joke, "Are you ashamed?" little girl, reserved, reserved." So soon, it's like a day and every other autumn?"
"Sister Yun, you're making fun of me. Jiang Chengzi pouted, although he was dozens of years old, he still felt that his face was hot and a little embarrassed when he was teased by Yun Zhu like this.
"Yo yo yo, I'm telling you the truth. Look at your expression, you have a ghost in your heart. Yunzhu continued to quip.
Jiang Chengzi lowered his head, but in the end he still fought back, and said: "Seeing that Sister Yun is so enthusiastic, I think it's time to tell A-Niang and find a good son-in-law for Sister Yun." β
"You little girl, but you make fun of my sister. Yun Zhu also blushed.
Jiang Chengzi felt that it was time to find a family affair for Yunzhu, otherwise she would have to become an old girl, delaying people for life. When she thought of this, she calmed down and said very seriously: "Sister Yun, today's harvest ceremony is not a banquet on the table. But I also laid out the plan a few days ago, and the eldest brother came to talk about it, saying that since this is a newly cultivated food, if it is to be promoted in the future, it is necessary to invite famous people to come. We just made some temporary additions to the kitchen. Now, the county order, the garrison, and the local rich and squire are not as big as the king of Shu. He is the governor of Yizhou and a relative of the emperor. Naturally, don't slack off. β
"Don't worry, the master told Ah Nian Gongzi early in the morning. Who knew that he had just asked Che Hu to go to Yizhou and asked Nianqing to fetch his official robe. And it shall be so on this occasion. And also invited several generals and sons. Yunzhu replied.
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, his heart warmed. His voice didn't feel a little softer, and he said, "He's thoughtful." β
"Yes. Yes. I used to think that who could be worthy of my family. At that time, the Yang family married, and I heard that it was the third prince, so I thought that if I could choose my family Azhi, it would have to be a match made in heaven. Alasβ" Yunzhu sighed.
Jiang Chengzi frowned, and whispered to stop: "You don't have to be too ostentatious now." Now the name reported is Sister Yuan Shu after all. β
"But I heard that the eldest master of the ancestral house sent a letter, which was sent by Yang Di. Yunzhu wanted to speak and stopped.
Jiang Chengzi felt strange. He asked, "When is the letter?"
"More than 10 days ago, I didn't know much about the content of the letter. It's just that it seems to mention what the ancestral house of the Yang family is the same as the branches, if Yizhou sees the king of Shu. Be sure to hold steady. Yunzhu lowered his voice.
Jiang Chengzi frowned. I was a little unhappy, and my family didn't talk to me about such things. She said "um", lifted her dress, and went to the main hall while telling Yunzhu to go to today's harvest banquet.
Yang Shuyue was pruning potted plants in the main hall in a wide robe dress, Xiuhong was talking to him on the side, and when she saw Jiang Chengzi entering, Xiuhong bowed slightly. shouted "Nine Girls" and withdrew.
Jiang Chengzi nodded slightly. Counts as a return gift. Then he went straight to the point and asked Yang Shuyue: "I heard that the day before yesterday, the eldest master sent a letter?"
Yang Shu crossed his hands for a moment, and then asked, "Who chewed the root of your tongue with you?"
"Grandpa doesn't care who it is, now this thing is not authentic. How many miserable winds and rains the sixth room has suffered in the past, almost ruined the family, and the ancestral house has a letter, Ah Zhi feels that he should be open and honest, and Grandpa is hiding it like this, it is really-" Jiang Chengzi got straight to the point.
Yang Shuyue frowned, and asked with some displeasure: "Do you have an opinion on the decision made by Grandpa?"
"Grandpa, I won't say much to you. Since that letter is related to the king of Shu, I want to take a look. "Jiang Chengzi doesn't want to bother with words, if the family has to calculate with each other and cheat me, then the Yang family's sixth room will not be saved. She might as well adopt a group of orphans and create a Jiang family by herself, with her own hands and wisdom, she will definitely be able to make a name for herself and shock the world.
"You, you kid, how can you be ignorant?" Yang Shuyue was very unhappy.
Jiang Chengzi stood there stubbornly, not saying a word. The father and daughter looked at each other for a long time, and Yang Shuyue was defeated, sighed, and handed the letter to Jiang Chengzi from his arms.
In the letter, Yang Gongren said that he had become an official again, and as Ah Zhi said, he would become an official again this year. Because he was an official again, he heard in the officialdom that the three princes actually asked for the title of King of Shu for a woman and became the governor of Yizhou. According to the situation when the Yang family's guards escorted their Liufang family to Shuzhong to take office, Yang Chen was the third prince Li Ke. And the woman he has in mind must be Ah Zhi.
As for the birthday sticker, although the old lady did not do it beautifully, she was thinking about the future of the Yang family in the end. If the matter is revealed, I am afraid that the Yang family will be punished for the crime of bullying the king. Today, the emperor is worried that there is no excuse to run the old aristocracy, and this may become the best excuse. Therefore, a mistake is a mistake, and don't try to correct it.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengzi sneered: "The eldest lord is really confused, the king of Shu is not an idle person, what the old lady has done, people don't know? β
Yang Shuyue said slowly: "Your eldest uncle is not confused at all, he has said so many miscellaneous things, and the front is full of useless words. That's what he intended. β
Jiang Chengzi had already unfolded the scroll and read it, and what Yang Gongren wanted to express in the later letter was to hope that the Yang family's six rooms could focus on the overall situation, after all, the Yang family was in the same vein, and the same qi was connected, and one was prosperous and one was lost. I hope she can try her best to capture the heart of the King of Shu and try her best to keep the Yang family's lineage.
"The old man is really confused. What kind of person is I, Yang Minzhi, but he doesn't understand?" Jiang Chengzi sarcastically and slowly threw the letter written on silk aside.
"But your great uncle's words are not unreasonable, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Yang Shuyue sighed slowly.
"That's what he thinks. Father, don't be foolish and soft-hearted, and forget what you have suffered in your ancestral home. Jiang Chengzi sneered.
Yang Shuyue didn't know what to say, she didn't know what to say about this daughter who saved herself and the Yang family's sixth room, because she was too assertive and talented. Yang Shuyue had to admit that this daughter sometimes made him feel almost demonic. However, I heard the king of Shu talk about the reincarnation of the fairy. He was somewhat convinced.
"Butβ" Yang Shuyue replied, and he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Chengzi said solemnly: "The ancestral mansion treats us like that, if we don't arrive in Jinyuan County alive." If we don't meet the king of Shu on the road, they will secretly guard. The Yang family's sixth room no longer exists, so what else is there to talk about? This is a great enmity, and we can't buy and sell this account just because we are all alive. Father, don't be fooled. β
"Ah Zhi, but after all, we are from the Yang family. Yang Shuyue admitted that his daughter was very reasonable.
"It's true that it's from Yang's. However, the six-bedroom can also stand on its own. Just like the previous Guanwangfang, who will be in charge of the Yang family in the future. Not necessarily. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.
"Then don't let the Yang clan perish. Yang Shuyue seized the opportunity, in a sense, he didn't want the Yang family to suffer a catastrophe.
Jiang Chengzi sighed and said, "Annihilation or not." It was they who decided. It's not up to us. Grandpa is so confused. In the past, they owed us this debt, and we had to see how they repaid us, and we also had to see how they repaid us, and we also had to see their sincerity and direction in the future. Has Grandpa's reply been written?"
Yang Shuyue shook his head and said, "I haven't written it." β
"Then Grandpa can reply to them, what the Yang family does in the sixth room depends on their attitude. Owe the Yang family six rooms. See how they get it back. Also, tell them. Yang's six rooms can also independently support Yang's millennium honor. Jiang Chengzi said to Yang Shuyue, and then said, "Today's harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes will also be sent back to the ancestral house to show them." β
Yang Shuyue didn't speak, just stood there quietly. Jiang Chengzi stepped forward, hugged his father, and said, "Grandpa, you have a good heart, I can't let others continue to bully you." β
Yang Shuyue hugged her, sighed, and said, "Ah Zhi, it's useless for Grandpa, so you have to calculate so much at a young age." β
"Grandpa, don't say it, our family must always be in the same breath. Jiang Chengzi said.
Yang Wang stood outside the house for a long time, and a big stone in her heart finally fell on the matter of that letter, and at the same time, she was more at ease with her little daughter, and it was really not much to have such knowledge.
Yang Shuyue talked to Jiang Chengzi for a while, then asked her to go to the study to polish ink, and the father and daughter discussed and wrote a reply to Yang Gongren.
By the time the reply was written, it was already noon outside, and the harvest banquet at home was almost ready. Jiang Chengzi dressed neatly and harvested the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the vat in the house with a group of people.
Because of the careful care and the influence of supernatural abilities, sweet potatoes and potatoes grow very well. Jiang Chengzi saw the sweet potato swallowing saliva, picked up a smaller one, washed it and peeled it, and put it in his mouth to take a bite. It is crunchy, full of moisture, sweet and silky, and it is the best in sweet potatoes. The potato was very large, and a potato could harvest about 20 catties.
Jiang Chengzi harvested a pot of potatoes and a pot of sweet potatoes, and then selected a large wash of the harvested sweet potatoes and potatoes, and gave them to the guests who came to the banquet.
In addition, the harvested potatoes and sweet potatoes are delivered to the kitchen, so that the kitchen can make a variety of delicious foods by steaming, stewing, and roasting according to the recipe she gave before.
Everyone who watched the harvest was amazed, just the output of those two large vats of sweet potatoes and potatoes could be eaten by one person for two months, which could save people's lives.
The county commander was very surprised and wanted to express his thoughts, but he didn't dare to say it, he just looked at the king of Shu and said with some hesitation: "The sweet potatoes and potatoes studied by the six rooms of the Yang family and the king of Shu are really a blessing for the people." β
Ah Nian didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Chengzi. Because the two want to avoid suspicion, they are always separated by a group of people, but they still have to look at each other from time to time twice. At this moment, he looked at Ah Zi gently and asked, "Is this thing really edible?"
"This sweet potato can be eaten raw, but not potatoes. Sweet potatoes are healthy and filling when eaten raw and cooked, but this potato is much more particular and must not be eaten raw. Potatoes that are sun-dried and green or have green shoots will gather highly toxic and are inedible. Therefore, in terms of storage, potatoes should be stored very carefully. Don't let the sun shine or let it sprout. As for sweet potatoes, they are not cold-tolerant, afraid of frost, and have to dig cellars for the winter. Jiang Chengzi replied.
When everyone heard this, they said yes again and again. Jiang Chengzi knew where these people who "didn't get mud with their fingers" would understand this, they just echoed her, or rather, they just echoed the King of Shu. Because no one can see that the King of Shu has a deep affection for the nine girls of the Yang family. Moreover, Li Ke invited himself to be the king of Shu, and took the risk of asking to be appointed as the governor of Yizhou only for a woman, and all the officials and squires who had people in the court knew about it.
"It's so magical. The prefectural order is one after another.
Ah Nian chuckled and said: "The Yang family's six-room Dalang Jun studies the classics, and this king collects fragments and solitary books everywhere to see all kinds of plant records. The second son of Duyun Villa even went into the mountains with his children many times, and walked all over the three mountains and five mountains before he found this easy-to-grow and edible species. Carefully cultivated by Ah Zhi, the king, the six houses of the Yang family and the Twilight Cloud Villa are all based on the suffering of the people, and they are bent on finding crops that will save the people from starvation. Now, even if it is a small achievement, I would like to ask you to testify. Let's celebrate. β
When the county magistrates, squires, and wealthy families heard the King of Shu say this, they said again and again that they were fortunate to have three lives. The sleek county magistrate also felt that this was a major event to help the world, and it was comparable to the supreme realm of Shennong, and he and other laypeople did not have that ability, but they also wanted to cut down on food and clothing, and donate a little love to find better crops to save the people's suffering.
The county order took the lead, and the squires and wealthy families also expressed themselves. Ah Nian didn't expect this, so he looked at Jiang Chengzi and asked her for advice with his eyes.
Jiang Chengzi also thought of this situation, so he immediately said: "You are all good people, you care about the people of the world, and it is good to donate money and materials like this." However, it cannot be immediately in our hands, and a special supervisory body must be established. β
As soon as everyone heard this, Jiang Chengzi said: "You are kind-hearted and donate love, but people are selfish and vulgar things, and if there is no corresponding organization and supervision, they may be embezzled by people with ulterior motives." Therefore, the proposal of the county order is very good, but to implement it, it must be led by the metropolitan governor. β
"Oh, nine girls, please tell me, how to lead?" Ah Nian asked.
Yang Qingrang said: "Ah Zhi's meaning is that this matter must be handled by the government, and a special account will be set up, and the accounts will be collected and verified by a special person." In addition, each grant must have a clear purpose and amount. and accept the audit of the imperial court. β
"Ah, Yang Gongzi is talented. "Immediately, someone slapped the horse's whiskers.
"Where is this talent, I just feel that I can't let everyone's kindness go to waste, let everyone pay money, and make everyone uncomfortable. Yang Qingrang explained. After finishing speaking, he looked at his sister again. This is a system of mutual aid established by the state, but when I and my sister discussed it a few days ago.
Of course, Jiang Chengzi guided Yang Qingrang to comprehend without a trace, and gradually comprehended some modern social security systems. Once this system is combined with the administration of Datang, although it will not be fully promoted, it will also benefit the people for a while. The most important thing is that it is a means to win over the people, without touching the interests of the politicians.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to send Yang Qing to make his way to the next level, to become the most prominent existence of the Yang family, and to become the myth of the Yang family's six rooms. (To be continued.) )
