Chapter 389: Farming

General Li smiled a little, and with a stomach full of resentment, he hated himself for why he had to come over today to join the city lord, he should have gone back to the barracks as soon as possible to be on an errand. Out of sight, out of mind, not out of mind.

The good mood of the city lord of Yan is not affected by anyone, and the excitement of hugging his grandson is even forgotten.

When the adults saw the expression of the city lord, they couldn't help but look at General Li beside them. It's a really tangled relationship.

After everyone said hello in the study, the city lord looked at his son with all kinds of satisfaction, and his tone softly made the people around him goosebumps: "Even Brother Ping was tossed over early in the morning, but there is something." ”

Whose son is so pampered, but the lord of the city raised his son like this, but the children of other people are still competitive, so they don't raise crookedly.

Although the city lord of Yan Shao always looks at people with his neck held high, he really puts it wherever he wants. And the family is handsome, so that the nobles of each family have Yan Shaocheng Lord in their eyes and mouths.

I heard that the young city lord and the guards have always eaten and slept together in the barracks, and they suffered a lot when they practiced kung fu, whether these words are true or not, kung fu will definitely not be practiced without hardship, and they can't pretend to be like it.

Based on this, these are said to be groundless, and I can only envy the lord of Yancheng who will give birth to a son and raise a son.

The city lord of Yan Shao didn't know the resentment of the adults about their father and son, and there was nothing that he couldn't say about the old father, but if he told the truth in front of the adults, it would be too high-profile. After going back and forth in my heart, I thought left and right and put down the matter of arbor.

At that time, if Qiao Mu regrets it, or makes the marriage with the general's mansion too much, won't there be even room for maneuver.

As a husband, you can't put your daughter-in-law in that position, Yan Shaocheng stuck to the arbor and said slowly: "There is nothing else, just bring Brother Ping over to ask my father for peace." ”

At this time, the city lord of Yan Shao was still preparing for Qiao Mu to suddenly turn his face and disagree with the general's mansion.

It's just that Yan Shaocheng Lord himself didn't realize it. I don't want to think about it, if Qiao Mu really disagrees and repents, will he just let it go, and how to explain it to the general's mansion. It's food for thought.

The adults are brushing their beards on the side, how arrogant the young city lord is, no matter how he picks his eyelids and looks at people, but he has done a really good job in the filial piety of his elders, not only does he speak well, but he also really goes out of his son.

Didn't you see that after the Yan City Lord heard this again, his eyes couldn't open with a smile. I really suspect that before the city lord of Yan entered the door, he asked this question twice after entering the door, just to listen to the young city lord answer this once.

Everyone can't say what they have just said, and they can only continue to brush their beards.

The Lord of Yan City was satisfied, and his head was also online: "Since you are here, let's sit with all the adults." I happen to have something to discuss with you, and it's about to be spring ploughing, and the white rice you are promoting this year has been promoted in several cities by the city lords, and you mean to see that rice can't be easily spread. ”

The city lord of Yan Shao has been about this matter for a long time: "You must not be able to spread the cultivation of rice so easily, but you can't cover it, not to mention the city lords in the outer city, even all the lords have Zhuangzi in the mansion, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, for the sake of my people, Yancheng belongs to the people, Yanyang will not eat alone, and promote the planting of rice, that is a great thing for the country and the people, Yanyang will definitely advance and retreat with all the adults." Although rice is a new crop promoted by our city lord's mansion, it is also born for the sake of food and clothing for our people. Naturally, it should be extended to the people. It's just that rice is expensive and a new crop, so I'm afraid that the people can't cultivate and promote it correctly for a while, delaying the spring ploughing, and if the people don't harvest, it's Yanyang's sin. "Emerging crops are at risk, and everyone understands that.

Lord Yan nodded slowly, in principle, his son knew that it was a roundabout. The adults only heard that the young city lord did not leave their Zhuangzi behind, and their hearts were relieved.

After all, no one doesn't care about such a precious thing, if you can grow it, not to mention getting rich in exchange for silver, it's good to eat rice yourself without spending silver.

What's more, in Yancheng, rice is transported to the palace as tribute. But Yan Shao City Lord should have so much, but, but, but, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to smash the big pie down for them in the future.

Sure enough, I heard the city lord of Yan say: "I'm old, and I can't take advantage of my son, what do you say about the city lord's mansion, that's the cultivation method that your young city lord's mansion has summed up after many years, don't say that we are the elders to take advantage of you, how to calculate it." ”

The adults sighed that the father and son sang a good double reed.

Lord Xiang then said, "What the Lord of the City said is that I heard that the cultivation garden in the Young City Lord's Mansion cultivates various crops all year round, and there are special cultivators to keep records. The young city lord has this heart, and I am ashamed of myself. I can't wait, I am willing to work with the young city lord to promote new crops, although I can't compare with the young city lord, but I am also willing to contribute, use people and land, or use silver, the young city lord just speaks. ’

Yan Yang smiled and understood: "All of you are noble people, and you cultivate rice to help Yanyang promote planting." But the adults also know that the rice of my Yancheng is going to Kyoto as a tribute. My Zhuangzi is still experimenting with emerging crops, maybe something, maybe not. Where this rice comes from depends on your lords. ”

All the adults, including the Imperial History, bowed their hands: "Yes." ”

The young city lord is really a rare lord, such a big profit is said not to be, so much land is actually used as experimental fields to cultivate new crops. For the country and the people.

The eyes of the Yan City Lord looking at his son became even more crooked.

The city lord of Yan Shao glanced at his father, and his eyes were definitely proud, so he listened to the city lord of Yan Shao: "In this way, I will let people provide grain seeds and planting technology to your lords' Zhuangzi, but I will occupy four cities for the rice on your lords' Zhuangzi." Rest assured, these forty percent are not what I Yanyang wanted, but to be sent to Kyoto. ”

Forty percent is not a lot. However, when I thought about the price of rice, I immediately agreed, "Naturally, Kyoto should be the main thing." ”

Yan Yang: "In this case, how much rice you want to cultivate in your lordship, please carefully calculate, and Yanyang can also prepare grain seeds for your lords." In addition, I want to say to all of you, emerging things are full of opportunities and relative risks, if there is really a case, then you will have to Haihan, don't put the fault on the young city lord, I just hope that you can think of Yanyang's mind today. ”

In this regard, the adults said that they have no worries with the young city lord. As for the previous words, you have thought about them with your heart.

Isn't this the whole village where rice is cultivated: "Is it because the conditions for rice cultivation are too harsh?" ”

Mishi-sama asked.

Yanyang: "Not really, but it must be a good field." Yan Yang was thinking, after all, it is a new crop, if there is any case, it will not be able to cut off the harvest of the adults' mansions, after all, the lords' mansions are all populous. ”

The adults immediately understood, yes, they all want to plant rice in the Zhuangzi, but there are so many domestic servants in the Zhuangzi, so the precious rice can't just be eaten by the servants.

Isn't it necessary to carefully calculate how the land is cultivated? However, in addition to the fertile land, whose Zhuangzi does not have a second-class land, cultivated out, it can still basically maintain the supply in the house, if it is worse, it is also appropriate to buy and sell some.

Yan Yang also thought about it, he would hold rice in his hands for two years at most, and it would be promoted to households in the coming year. Before that, it is natural to make enough money from these clans and officials.

Everyone must be vying to cultivate more, and he has no problem with this, the more they plant, the more he reaps. How many people can be sent to Kyoto as tribute, and the rest is his Yan Shaocheng Lord's private treasury, how to operate, that is the matter of their Yan father and son.

As for other grains, although Yancheng is less cultivated, isn't everyone in Kyoto farming? Is it possible to acquire it from Kyoto?

Thinking of this, Yan Shaocheng's eyes lit up, and he said that when Qiao Mu came back from Kyoto, he discussed with the shopkeeper of the wine shop, to do grain trading, and buy all kinds of miscellaneous grains in large quantities, and said that it was for winemaking, but it was a good calculation.

Thinking of this, Yan Yang was proud again, but his wife had a long-term view than him. I've been waiting here for a long time to make a fortune.

The adults sighed at Yan Shaocheng's thoughtfulness: "Naturally, yes, when you go back, let the steward of Zhuangzi report the specific situation, and then you will have to bother the young city lord." We will do our best to work with the young city lord to promote rice to all villages in my Yancheng. ”

It's so good that it makes people blush, there is no interest in the middle, and you are still so active.

Yan Yang humbly arched his hand: "These are all trivial things, not enough to worry about. ’

Lord Yan City: "Is the rice of other cities also promoted?" ”

Yanyang: "Naturally, no, if the city wants to promote rice, the son will always collect the silver from the grain seeds." ’

This man sells favors, as if he were saying to these adults, "I have not taken your grain and money." Hehe.

General Li spoke first, after all, how big is the industry of their general's mansion, a hundred-year-old clan, I am afraid that two truckloads of rice will be used for seeds alone, rice is expensive, and grain seeds are even more expensive, not to mention that people also have planting technology and professionals.

If the young city lord gave them two carts of gold nails from the Li family: "We deserve it." ”

Yanyang: "All of you are not outsiders, and your uncle doesn't have to be like this, they are all contributing to the prosperity of Yancheng, and when you promote rice to the people in the coming year, I hope that you will be able to make a strong contribution to the manpower and grain seeds." Let's Yancheng work together to make rice the symbol of my Yancheng, just like Pingzhou, as long as you mention Pingzhou, everyone will say that it is a rich land of fish and rice. If he can mention Yancheng in the future, he will no longer talk about the poor countryside, but the emerging land of rice, the granary of my Daqi, and I will not be worthy of this money. It is worthy of the people of Yandi. Even in the history books of the future, there may not be a stroke of our waiting. ”

Not to mention all the adults, the Lord of Yan City was all excited by his son. The heart is surging, and what the son describes is a testimony of a prosperous age.

It is men who yearn for it, want to be the promoter of this prosperous era, and want to make a strong mark in the history books of such a prosperous era.

Anyway, when did this kid become so powerful.

is so old, after listening to Yanyang's words, his beard is about to float up, in the end, he is a young man, passionate, and motivated, if this is really done, his old man can be regarded as a merit in the community: 'The young city lord has great wisdom. ’

Lord Yushi was excited, and the young city lord's mind was unmatched: 'The young city lord has a big heart. ’

General Li was silent, and his nephew was so generous, he could only say: "As long as my Li clan can do it, I am willing to be used by the young city lord and my Yancheng prosperous world." ”

Well, this one has the most hits, and I am afraid that I will prepare several times more rice seeds in the coming year to prepare for the promotion of the people. The nephew has a good uncle.

The adults then followed all kinds of statements, and they also understood in their hearts, just saying that the money of the City Lord's Mansion was not obtained for nothing, and it was so easy to grab bones in the mouth of the Yan family.

In addition to the four cities that were given to the young city lord, there were also grain seeds to be left, in addition to the miscellaneous expenses for cultivation this year, but also counting the needs of those slaves who did not have a grain harvest in the coming year, I am afraid that the rest is enough for these masters in their house to use for themselves, after all, such expensive things, they have to buy and eat by themselves, since they have cultivated, they must first enjoy themselves.

What is extra cannot be left behind. It's not easy to make a fortune from rice.

I can simply look forward to the coming year, after all, the grains that will be used in the coming year will not be used by these families and officials, and I think that the Yamen must have this ability.

So it's good to endure for a year. Decide on the main tone, and the adults began to plan carefully.

Time flies, and I heard the guards outside reply: "The young city lord's wife is asking to see you outside." ”

The woman in the inner house came to the outer courtyard and handed over the fold so seriously.

Lord Yan raised his head and looked at his son first, didn't he say that it didn't matter.

The Yan City Lord unnaturally held his forehead with one hand and coughed lightly twice.

Lord Yancheng coughed: "Let her in." ”

The ministers wanted to avoid it, but since the city lord didn't mean it, they could only watch from the sidelines.

Qiao Mu is dressed in a red dress, and his plump body after giving birth to a child makes the structure of the clothes here wrap up a slender figure. came in with low eyebrows, and bowed to the city lord with a fold: "Daughter-in-law Qiao's has seen my father and all my lords." ”

Lord Yancheng: "Qiao's family, this is the main hall of the outer courtyard, where you can discuss with your lords, if you are a woman, you really can't be here without a valid reason." ”
