Chapter 237: The Three Heroines of Jianghu (9)
"There is a small valley between the south and north peaks, and there is spring in it." Li Zhi asked in surprise, "You want to farm your own land?" ”
"If you don't farm, what do you eat?" Yao Huang rolled his eyes. The south peak of the Tianshan Mountains is the place where the white-haired witch faction lives in seclusion, and the north peak is the place where the Zen master of the Ming Dynasty (the ancestor of Yi Lanzhu) lives in seclusion.
"All the people on the mountain went down to buy food, once every three months. The temperature in the mountains is low and the food is not easy to spoil. Li Zhi replied.
"What you buy is not as delicious as what you grow." Yao Huang said, "My mother and grandfather are definitely not suitable for the cold climate of the Tianshan Mountains, so it is better to let them live in the valley, open a few acres of fields in the valley, and grow the grain for the people on the mountain to eat, and there is no need to go down the mountain to purchase." ”
Li Zhi nodded again and again after hearing this, and whatever his daughter-in-law said was what he said.
Hearing that her daughter was going to get married, Kuang Lianxia didn't talk nonsense, packed up her package with Kuang Lian, and was about to leave with her daughter - the eldest daughter originally lived in Tianshan, and now the younger daughter is also married. In order not to be separated from her daughters, Kuang Lianxia decided to move to Tianshan, and Badaling was not her hometown anyway. On the day they left, Huixin and Zhixin sent them down the mountain, and the two nuns were very grateful to Yao Huang's mother and daughter for taking care of them over the years.
"Master Feng, go all the way!" Zhixin is reluctant to give up.
"Zhixin, I'll come back to see you." Yao Huang waved goodbye to the two nuns, Zhixin has been her friend for many years, and I don't know when Lu Dao will see her again, and she is reluctant to give up.
After returning to Tianshan, Yao Huang and Li Zhi held a wedding. Tang Xiaolan and Feng Ying rushed back to attend the wedding, and the sweet interaction between the two made people know that their good things were not far away.
The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold! Yao Huang and Li Zhi's cave room flowers and candles were spent happily. The next day, both woke up with sweet smiles on their lips.
"I had a good dream last night!" Yao Huang smiled. She couldn't remember the contents of the dream. I only remember that there was Li Zhi in my dream. The two lived happily ever after.
Li Zhi also smiled happily: "I also dreamed!" I dreamed of you, and we were still husband and wife in the dream, and not for a lifetime, but for several lifetimes. ”
Yao Huang was surprised: "It's the same as the content in my dream." Do you think we dream of our past lives? ”
"Maybe!" Li Zhi stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Yao Huang's waist, "Maybe the fate of the two of us has already been registered on the old man, or the kind of signing the death deed, and we can become husband and wife in our lives." ”
Yao Huang smiled and pulled the corners of Li Zhi's mouth: "Let me see what has become of it?" An honest man actually said such sweet things? ”
Li Zhi dodged Yao Huang's evil hand and said with a smile: "Of course I ate your saliva." "Finished. With his head lowered, his lips accurately found Yao Huang's lips and took them in......
Kuang Lianxia and Kuang Lian couldn't stand the cold on the Tianshan Mountain, and after living for more than ten days, they moved to the valley to live. Li Zhi and Yao Huang came over to help the two build a house and open up the wasteland. The house is still built on stilts and bamboo buildings, but thinking that young couples often come to accompany the two elders, other residents of Tianshan may come to the door, so two bamboo buildings were built. The four men cultivated ten acres of fields, three acres of rice, two acres of wheat, and two acres of corn. One acre is planted with potatoes, and the remaining two acres are planted with various vegetables. The seeds are an excellent variety cultivated by Yao Huang over the years. The yield is one or two layers higher than the current yield per acre.
Other people in the heavens often came to the valley to help, even masters like Yi Lanzhu and Wu Qiongyao. Mainly attracted by fresh vegetables. Although it is quiet on the Tianshan Mountains and it is good to escape from the world, the food is really bad. At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is the inhabited land of nomads, with developed animal husbandry and backward planting, and most of the food that can be purchased down the mountain is barley, dairy products and meat, and even wheat is rarely bought, not to mention rice and vegetables. On the grassland, vegetables can be sold for gold, ordinary people can't eat them, and only aristocratic lords can eat watery vegetables. Now that vegetables can be produced on the Tianshan Mountains, as well as rice, the hermits of the Han people are naturally very happy, and they are afraid of the fields, and they can't wait for the vegetables in the fields to grow up quickly.
"Lin'er, do you have many seeds for potatoes and corn? Can you give me some. Yi Lanzhu had eaten potatoes and corn, was conquered by their taste, and saw that the yield of potatoes and corn was twice as high as that of rice and wheat, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Okay! Aunt Lan, you also want to farm? Yao Huang asked curiously.
Yi Lanzhu said with a smile: "Farming is also for your grandfather." These few acres of fields in the mountain are enough for our people on the mountain to eat, and if we plant more, we will accumulate them. ”
Wu Qiongyao asked, "You asked for it for the Huijiang tribe?" ”
"Yes! These two things taste good, the tube is full, and the yield is better than wheat. If I can adapt to the climate, water and soil under the mountain, even if the yield is not high, I can also improve the lives of the people in Huijiang. ”
Yi Lanzhu's stepmother, Fei Hongjian, was the leader of the Huijiang tribes before her death, and when Feihongjin died, she entrusted Yi Lanzhu with the responsibility of taking care of the Huijiang tribes. Yi Lanzhu has been going back to Xinjiang every year for many years to solve problems for Huijiang.
"Aunt Lan can rest assured that potatoes and corn can be planted in the cold and barren mountainous areas without picking the ground, and the yield is high. If all the tribes in Huijiang are planted, at least they don't have to worry about being full. Yao Huang said with a smile. Potatoes and corn were introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately they were not valued by the authorities and farmers, and were not vigorously promoted, otherwise there would not have been a large number of starvation deaths at the end of life.
"Really?" Yi Lanzhu asked with some skepticism, "Can you really grow alive?" Won't the yield be affected? ”
"It's impossible to be completely unaffected, but the yield is definitely greater than that of barley. Both crops have already begun to be popularized in large quantities in Yunnan. "Yunnan is mountainous and barren, and only potatoes and corn can adapt to the environment there. Yao Huang once saw this incident on the Internet: in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes were widely planted in Yunnan, which caused great changes in the traditional agriculture of the Yunnan ethnic group and promoted the development of mountainous areas and the prosperity of the national economy in Yunnan in the Qing Dynasty. However, the ecological environment of Yunnan has also undergone major changes, the vegetation in the semi-mountainous and mountainous areas has gradually decreased with the promotion of corn and potatoes, and after the ground cover has become crops, the adhesion and cohesion of the surface soil have been greatly reduced, and there has been serious soil erosion, river silting, land and acres of waste, frequent natural disasters, and agricultural production has been greatly affected. This is a lesson that experts have taught people the importance of the environment, and that we should not just open up farmland and destroy forests. (To be continued......)
