"At this time, the warbler is flying, the grass is growing, and the beloved is on the way......"

The weather in the three years of Hongguang seems to have slowed down, the weather in the Central Plains is good, and the surroundings of Haicheng will only be better.

Since the middle of February, Haicheng, including the entire Shandong region, has been much more vigorous in land consolidation and ploughing than in the Central Plains.

If the two green flags around the Central Plains are just a young beast, then Haicheng is an adult tiger, and the fields everywhere are full of busy people.

Even though the north wind was still a little strong, it could no longer stop the enthusiasm of the people.

Kong Youde hadn't given Xu Changqing any reply at this time, but Xu Changqing didn't care at all, humming a cheerful little song, and went deep into the field to inspect the preparations before spring ploughing.

Judging from the current situation, if there is no war this year, or even as long as there is no war before the autumn harvest, the overall strength of Haicheng, including all regions in Shandong, will surely reach a new level.

Xu Changqing has already obtained similar statistics at this time, and the farmers who are willing to plant sweet potatoes on a large scale this year have accounted for 30% of Haicheng and the surrounding areas of Shandong, and there will be at least 100,000 households.

And even if farmers are reluctant to plant on a large scale, they will still plant a little more or less in this climate, just like planting cash crops.

This means that even if there is a small-scale disaster, the basic livelihood of the farmers is guaranteed to a certain extent.

The vitality of sweet potatoes is by no means comparable to that of a delicate staple food.

In addition, because of the continuous publicity and guidance of several major distilleries in Haicheng and the full cooperation of the Political Affairs Bureau, Xu Changqing has collected a lot of sorghum seeds.

Sorghum is also called 'Shu millet' by the common people, Li Shizhen said in the "Compendium of Hundred Herbs": "Shu millet is planted in the north to prepare for grain shortage, and the surplus is cattle and horses, and it has been cultivated for 4,900 years. ”

In the past, there was no habit of planting millet in Shandong, because the yield was too low and the rate of return was not proportional, commonly known as 'thankless'.

But there is a precedent for sweet potatoes here, and Xu Changqing and the Political Affairs Bureau have endorsed it, and the people's enthusiasm for planting millet has been very high.

In fact, Shu millet can also be regarded as a kind of staple food, compared to wheat, rice, this staple food, it is not only drought tolerant, durable, vitality is also extremely tenacious, and do not need to occupy fertile land, just plant a little bit in the corners, and the difficult mountainous land can still bear it.

This makes the staple food in Haicheng and Shandong begin to tend to be diversified, and there is a guarantee of market value, and the fault tolerance rate is naturally higher.

From now on, it won't be long before Xu Changqing can take his wife and concubine to carefully appreciate the grace of the sorghum field......

"Brother Xu, what little song did you hum just now, why have I never heard it with Dongguo?"

At this time, in the carriage not far behind him, Kong Sizhen's delicate voice came, and her pretty face leaned out of the carriage and looked at Xu Changqing with affection.

Dong Gu also put out his little head and looked at it shyly and curiously.

Xu Changqing turned around and saw the delicate appearance of the two girls by the carriage window, only to feel relieved, and said with a smile: "This is the song I just made, and I will share it with you after a little tidying up." Calm down. ”

"Wow, Brother Xu, really?"

The eyes of the two beautiful women suddenly lit up.

They have long known that Xu Changqing is talented, after all, the song "If Life Is Only as First Seen" back then still makes people look up to the mountains, and it has always been imitated and never surpassed.

It's just that for various reasons, they didn't go to Xu Changqing's heart before, and it was impossible for them to see Xu Changqing's talent.

At this time, these days of careful polishing, the two women are like glue to Xu Changqing, and spring is coming soon, and they have also begun to enjoy Xu Changqing's powerful benefits.

Of course, Xu Changqing also has some bad tastes......

Perhaps because he is getting older and is about to run for three, Xu Changqing doesn't like to call him 'master' again because he is getting older and younger, but prefers the title of 'Brother Xu' created by Zheng Chagu......

After appeasing the two daughters, Xu Changqing lit a bag of cigarettes, slowly rode his horse, and smiled

Gaze at the vast plains that stretch as far as the eye can see.

This is the Huantai boundary in central Shandong, and it is also the third day that Xu Changqing came out to inspect, and the situation is better than he imagined.

Because of the damage caused by the previous war, although there were not many people here, the fields did not suffer much damage.

Huantai was one of the key grain-producing areas in Shandong in later generations, and at this time, after Xu Changqing's careful planning, Li Hongyun, the bigwig of the Political Affairs Bureau, personally stared at this side, and the results were still remarkable.

This three-dimensional model of all-round planting of staple grains, sorghum and sweet potatoes is simply unique here.

In order to prevent accidents, Xu Changqing spent a lot of money and drilled a lot of wells here to ensure that nothing went wrong.

However, there are also downsides......

It is the Huantai side that for various reasons, at this time it is basically the private property of the Xu family, the Li family, the Wu family, including Zhu Yujiao, Gu Hengbo and other Xu Changqing's wives and their families......

This is also something that cannot be avoided.

These people and their clansmen have already put all the treasures on his Xu Changqing, how can he, Xu Changqing, not give them big dividends?

Otherwise, how can you lead a team?

After walking around for more than an hour, Xu Changqing did not choose to go to Huantai County, but went all the way to the south, preparing to take the Zichuan line, go to Laiwu and Xintai to see the situation of coal mines and iron mines, and then transfer to Qingzhou to come back.

Stepping into the warm carriage, Xu Changqing also sorted out the song he had just hummed, and sang it with a smile and Kong Sizhen completely.

The beautiful eyes of the two girls couldn't help but brighten, and Kong Sizhen said excitedly: "Brother Xu, this, what's the name of this song?" ”

Xu Changqing thought about it deliberately, aroused their hearts, and then smiled: "This song, I am going to name it "The Beauty of the World, Interlocking with You". ”

"The beauty of the world is intertwined with you?"

The two women looked at each other, and they both had some indescribable feelings, and they couldn't describe this mood for a while.

What a genius is this to write such a subtle tune, such a direct word......

It's a pity that I'm not alone at this time......

……

"At this time, the warbler is flying, the grass is growing, and the beloved is on the way......"

With this song as a guide, Xu Changqing is also much lighter, the two girls no longer blindly pester him to be coquettish, but carefully tidy up this song, and they have begun to sing, and they can't help but hum two sentences.

The fatigue of the journey also dissipated a lot, and they began to enjoy the scenery along the way more comfortably.

Xu Changqing can also lie comfortably in the carriage and enjoy their delicate at will.

Two days later, a team of more than 3,000 people arrived at Qingshi Pass, and Xu Changqing took advantage of the good weather to take them to visit the original bandit village.

This bandit village has basically been abandoned at this time, but it is not completely abandoned, and on the way up the mountain, there is a general flag of troops stationed to prevent its resurgence.

In order to facilitate the transportation here, a lot of wood and bamboo mixed slides have been built on the mountain, and on the top of this bandit village, looking at this hidden slide in the mountains, it is even more spectacular.

"Brother Xu, it's so beautiful here, I really want to live here for the rest of my life......"

Dong Gu was completely intoxicated, and his small body couldn't wait to melt into Xu Changqing's blood.

is Kong Sizhen's cleverness, but at this time, he is not much better than Dongguo, the sweetness in his beautiful eyes is about to flow honey, and he and Dongguo hold Xu Changqing left and right, and they don't want to part with Xu Changqing at one step.

Xu Changqing enjoyed this feeling happily, led them to the observation stone platform on the top of the mountain, and said with a smile in the afterglow of the sunset: "Take a good look at the feeling of the poet saint climbing Mount Tai back then, what is called being the top of the mountain, and seeing the mountains at a glance." The soldiers have gone hunting, and tonight, let's spend the night here and enjoy the tranquility of the mountains. ”

"Wow, that's great."

The two little girls couldn't stop cheering.

However, Xu Changqing can clearly feel that the two daughters seem to be intimate, but in fact, they have been secretly competing, and no one is convinced, a proper plastic sister......

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Pro-soldiers today. Luck was not bad, I hunted a stupid roe deer, and I also hunted a wild boar with a small 200 catties, plus some pheasants and hares and dried seafood that I brought, and the dinner was extremely rich.

The two girls were in a good mood, so they also pestered Xu Changqing to sing and drink, and they were a little drunk after a while.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Dongguo, Zhenzhen, you all know the situation in our house now, right?" Have you ever thought about buying some properties as well? After all, it's not always easy to count on pocket money from the house, isn't it? Besides, you're all grown up, so you can't ask your father for money, right? ”

"This ......"

The two women glanced at each other, and then looked at Xu Changqing at the same time, and under the ethereal firelight, the two pairs of beautiful eyes were like two pairs of bright stars.

Don't look at their young age, they are not adults in the next generation, but the education they have received since childhood is far from being comparable to ordinary people in later generations, and they also have a clearer understanding of property, and they understand the truth of 'money makes money'.

"Brother Xu, it seems that hey, in the future, when Donggu and I have children, we can't keep asking you for money to spend. We all have some private money, but what can we do? ”

Kong Sizhen thought about it, and shyly buried her pretty face in Xu Changqing's arms.

Dong Gu was busy doing the same, and his small body was tightly attached to Xu Changqing.

"Hehe, there's a lot you can do. Haven't you found a business opportunity in Haicheng all these days? In this way, you first say to yourself, I will subsidize 50,000 taels with you each, and you can make up some of it yourself, and how about we do business with this silver? ”

Xu Changqing hugged them with a smile, hugging left and right, so comfortable.

"Fifty thousand taels per person?"

Dong Gu and Kong Sizhen glanced at each other, both a little shocked.

It must be known that even if they have noble status and have a lot of dowry, the economic system of the Qing Kingdom is not good, and they usually don't have much pocket money.

Xu Changqing's shot was 50,000 taels per person, and their little hearts were about to be smashed.

What is a style?

That's wow.

"Brother, we can't talk about it for a while, for a while, what can we do......"

After Dong Gu was excited, anxious tears were about to pour out, and Chu Chu looked at Xu Changqing pitifully.

Kong Sizhen had some ideas here, but she couldn't understand Xu Changqing's intentions, so she didn't dare to be rash, so she was busy learning from Dongguo, and looked at Xu Changqing aggrievedly and pleaded.

"Look, what are you doing? Why are you crying? All speak well. Otherwise, I won't like it, brother. ”

Seeing that Xu Changqing deliberately lowered his face, the two girls were no longer afraid, but even more aggrieved and pitiful.

At this time, they already know some of Xu Changqing's temperament, this guy, properly eat soft and not hard.

Xu Changqing could only be defeated in the end, raised his hand and surrendered: "I have served you." In this way, the most profitable and loss-making deal is to buy land. But Haicheng, including Qingzhou, Linzi, there is basically no good land left, and it is definitely not cost-effective to buy it now. However, there is still some land in Laiwu and Xintai, so let's take a closer look at Ming'er, how about it? ”

"Wow, brother, Zhenzhen loves you to death!"

"Brother, Donggu loves you to death......"

The two little tender girls directly and excitedly gave Xu Changqing a fragrant kiss.

While Xu Changqing's body is comfortable, his heart is even more comfortable.

He didn't seem to be untargeted, but a well-planned plan!

It must be known that Laiwu and Xintai, as a model army, including a mineral area with the entire Daming pole as the core, have always been the focus of the Qing army.

But!

What if these lands that are not very valuable become those of Dong Gu and Kong Sizhen?

Xu Changqing couldn't imagine that when the Qing army invaded the territory again and saw these places, even if he was unhappy, he could only take a detour with tears in his eyes.

It's too beautiful to look at......

And Xu Changqing is so sincere to them, whether it is Dolgon or Kong Youde, what kind of mood should he have?
