After eating, everyone greeted each other for a while, Yang Wenqing was about to leave, and although Uncle Zhong and his group were reluctant, they still sent Yang Wenqing and them to the door, and they didn't turn back until the carriage was far away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the carriage, Yang Wenqing looked at Zhou Laicai on the opposite side with a smile. "Grandma Zhong's knife-cut noodles really taste good, I see you just ate two bowls."

"Well, it tastes good." Zhou Laicai touched his stomach with a satisfied face, "Not only is it very strong, but the soup is very good, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to take it out and open a small shop." “

Yang Wenqing pursed his lips and smiled, noncommittal to his proposal.

These people don't even have a household registration, and if opening a small stall can solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, then they won't be so poor.

Not every place in the Great Jin Dynasty had refugee slums, but there were quite a few. In her time, it was as simple as drinking water. But the Great Jin Dynasty is also very strict with the vendors, although it is not to the real-name system, but people like these refugee slums are not allowed to set up stalls on the street at will, even if they are placed for you, you can't pay the apportionment, the law of the Great Jin Dynasty has clear provisions, if this is the case, you have to collect one or two pieces of silver a day, and ordinary people show the situation and pay seven to ten dollars, which is the difference between no household registration.

A tael of silver is casually rewarded from the rich and noble, but in the homes of the poor people, sometimes they can't even spend 500 wen a month, let alone one or two lines of silver, isn't it painful!

In another case, even if you are willing to pay the apportionment, but no one will buy it! Although everyone can't say that they spit on the people who live in this slum, they also disdain to be with them.

Yang Wenqing opened the curtain of the carriage and watched the carriage walk on the bluestone road of the refugee slum without speed or slowness, the flat and tidy bluestone road and the pimple houses on both sides formed a sharp contrast, she said casually, "What does the master think about here?" ”

Zhou Laicai also opened the curtain on the other side as her words fell, looking at the houses that were mending up like clothes, his eyes narrowed and expanded, "The housing here is interesting, with various shapes and bright colors, and it is also a spectacle, and it is also a scene in Nanyang." ”

His slightly complimentary ridicule was very appetizing to Yang Wenqing, although she didn't nod her head in approval, but she agreed very much in her heart.

Zhou Laicai said, "I have some understanding in the past few days, although there are many people here, but it is extremely poor, basically one person pays double labor to get a salary, although it is not equal, but it is also an unwritten provision left by the previous county order." ”

"These people do some heavy labor, logging, digging rocks, building roads, picking dung, etc. The wages of such a type of work themselves are not high, and if those foremen suppress them layer by layer, there are not many of them," he said here and paused, then turned his head with a smile before saying, "The people here not only have good temperament and good ability, but also can endure hardships." Most importantly, they love adults. “

Yang Wenqing couldn't help but look back at him and smile when he heard the last sentence, this master, didn't you just tell her that if you are kind to them, you will definitely be able to help you. She smiled, "What the master said is, I don't know what the best way to go?" “

Zhou Laicai lowered the curtain and smiled at her, only to feel his heart shake, and then he forced himself to calm down again.

A smile on Sven's polite face showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and he said, "A few days ago, I saw that the adults gave a windfall and distributed a large number of food and materials. Last time about the Yellow Bird, I took a trip to Shanyang, and when I returned, I saw a wasteland in the western suburbs, the geology is soil and sand with mud, it is better to buy that piece of land and ask these people to open up the wasteland. “

"I know that there is a kind of fresh food called artichoke, which is quite abundant, can be planted for two seasons a year, and is cold-tolerant, what do you think?"

"Artichoke?" Yang Wenqing frowned, because she was going to take up the post of Nanyang County Commander, she had to know some agricultural things, so she had read some agricultural books when she was on the road, so she knew that there was no artichoke in this Dajin and surrounding countries, and the artichoke was another name for potatoes, also called potatoes.

In modern times, it was also in the middle of the seventeenth century that potatoes were introduced to China by the Dutch. But there is no diplomatic relationship with overseas people here, so when did this potato come about? Since this has been passed down, why does no one know who is in this land?

It's a high-yielding crop! It was one of the most promising major crops in her time.

Now that Zhou Laicai has proposed this, Yang Wenqing has to think about his background background, since there is already a crop like potatoes here, but this news, the cover-up of this news is really strong! How simple can a person who can spend so much money be in the past?

Yang Wenqing put down the messy thoughts in his heart, smiled lightly and said, "What is this artichoke?" ”

"yes, yes, I want to know what this is!" Qingliu outside the carriage shouted.

Zhou Laicai smiled, "My lord, the artichoke is a good thing, and it also has a name called potato." Not only has good yield, wide adaptability, and the yield is comparable to sweet potatoes, which can be used for cooking, fried silk or stewed meat, or as staple food, and thousands of miles of march, which are extremely convenient and delicious. “

"Is there really such a good thing?" Yang Wenqing looked surprised and disbelieving, "Although I haven't farmed in the field, I know everything I should know, the yield of this sweet potato is quite a lot, one acre of land can reach more than seven or eight thousand catties, and there is a good fertilization, it can reach tens of thousands of catties. ”

She yawned, leaned on the cushion, looked at Zhou Laicai with a thick doubt in her eyes, and said, "Master, don't lie to me that I'm young, right?" Qingliu outside the carriage did not speak, although he did not read agricultural books, nor did he like to read, but he knew that as long as it was what his son-in-law said, he nodded outside again and again, but unfortunately it was blocked by a curtain of carriage, and the people inside could not see.

Zhou Laicai knew that her doubts were normal, if it was him or someone else, it was estimated that he would have such an attitude, after all, this crop is related to people's livelihood, and it is still a crop comparable to sweet potatoes, such a good thing, there is no news in the world at all, and he doesn't believe it, so he understands Yang Wenqing's attitude very well.

He smiled and said, "My lord, you don't know, although this artichoke has not spread, but it does exist, but the place where it exists is extremely remote, if it wasn't for the coincidence, I wouldn't know." ”

"Adults care about all people, and since I am an adult's staff, I have to do a lot of strength, but this artichoke is true."

"Oh?" Yang Wenqing's face was surprised, with obvious excitement in her eyes, she listened to see how loyal you were to Zhou Lai, so she asked, "Master Zhou, what kind of artichoke are you talking about, where does it come from?" Where now? How sure are you going to get this? ”

A mysterious smile rose on Zhou Laicai's face, and he said, "In the realm, my lord, guess where it is?" He couldn't help but sell a pass here.
