Chapter 104: Can't Escape
Sun Xiangfu told the children a lot of knowledge, from pollination breeding, to grafting and transplantation, almost all the planting techniques that can be done in this era, he will talk, and even let the children do their own experiments, so now hundreds of eels and loach ponds in Xingfu Village have been planted by children with grafting and transplantation A grapevine, and dozens of greenhouses are also in charge of these children, Sun Xiangfu gives them a certain degree of young and strong labor to help take care of it.
On the first bathing day in April, the villagers of Dawan Village pulled a cart of goldenrod to the fishing ground of Xingfu Village, they were the first farmers to harvest this new crop this year, and they still had a lot of anxiety about whether Xingfu Village would fulfill its promise.
"Vigorously, let people be overdone, Zhang Hong, prepare the copper coins, according to the number they sent, a lot of billing, in addition, the workshop in our village that is specifically responsible for the production of feed will be expanded, recruit a hundred people from the family members of the guards!" Except for handling, all female workers are used. ”
There are a lot of sources of various breeding feed in Xingfu Village, Wangjianglou can provide a boat of rancid water every day, and the Food Supervision Department can pull over the bean dregs of more than 1,000 stones every day, and then there are some fish grass, pig vegetables, rancid water and the like produced by Xingfu Village, plus the golden cauliflower sent by several surrounding villages, combined, there is no problem with a 3,000 stone feed a day, and the number of chickens, pigs and fish currently raised in Xingfu Village cannot consume so much feed at all, so the expansion of the scale is also close at hand.
The matter of the head of Hao Village and the villagers of Dawan Village getting the copper coins soon spread to Shili and Eight Townships, so everyone began to send fish and grass feed to Xingfu Village, and everyone was used to the rapid changes in Xingfu Village, until one day in mid-April, when Ma Zhou and Changsun Chong came to Xingfu Village together, they couldn't believe that this was a village in Datang.
"Why are the crops in other places just emerging from the seedlings, and the crops here are about to grow, you see that there are no melons in those fields, the cold melons have grown to the size of their heads, and there are actually yellow-skinned courgettes, isn't this thing produced in the Western Regions?" Ma Zhou exclaimed, and now he knew why Shi Dalang would tell him before leaving that he would not be surprised when he went to Happy Village.
"Who's to say it isn't! It is not easy for the courgette in the Western Regions to get to Chang'an, usually one will be sold for one or two dollars, and there is no market, you need to order in advance, I can also eat some imperial tribute in the palace, this year, I am afraid that you can eat it openly. ”
There is a variety of courgette in the later generations of cantaloupe, like the growth environment of the large temperature difference between day and night, yes, the summer melon planted at the beginning of the year, does not need to be planted in the greenhouse at all, Changsun Chong and Ma Zhou only need to be on the boat, you can see the fields on the shore, a golden skin of the courgette.
"It turns out that Sun Xiamu's biggest ability is farming, it seems that the lower officials have nothing to do, so it is better to ask Sun Xiamu for more benefits."
The two chatted, and after a while, the boat arrived at the dock of Xingfu Village, and the two, under the leadership of Zhao Long, came to Sun Xiangfu, who was working in the public house.
"You two are okay, don't make a sound, wait for Sun Zhengming to finish this class first."
Before entering the courtyard, the two of them were stopped by Li Chunfeng, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, it turned out that this guy was standing outside the window to listen to the lecture, the reason was that this guy always asked questions during class, interrupting Sun Xiangfu's speech.
"Before, we talked about the impact of the weather environment on crops, then, next, let's talk about the impact of soil properties on crops, such as saline-alkali land, we all know that crops cannot be planted, in fact, some crops can also be planted on saline-alkali land, but we Datang has not yet introduced those crops, so, our Datang land, is it only saline-alkali land can not be planted?
Of course not, every soil property will affect different varieties of crops, for example, in more acidic land, only tea trees can be planted, and some alkaline plants can be planted······"
Sun Xiangfu spoke, and took out a few pieces of mud for the students to identify, what acid, alkali and salt and the like, Ma Zhou and Changsun Chong listened to the clouds, and finally, Sun Xiangfu roughly gave more than a dozen examples, telling everyone, what nature of soil is suitable for planting what nature of crops, how to fertilize to improve soil properties, etc., this class is over.
"That, Daochang Li, Sun Zhengming usually teaches children to play with mud in this happy village?" The eldest grandson Chong endured it for a long time before asking Li Chunfeng.
"This is a university question, in the past, the poor Dao was ignorant, and he didn't know that all things in heaven and earth have attributes, and after learning Sun Zhengming's method of distinguishing the soil, when refining the pill in the future, the poor Dao should be more handy."
If Sun Xiangfu heard Li Chunfeng's words, he would definitely throw him with the chalk head on the podium, no way, the knowledge taught by Sun Xiangfu is easy to be accepted by children, but it is difficult to influence the ancients whose ideas have been deeply rooted.
After a while, after Sun Xiangfu checked the children's class notes, he walked out of the classroom of the public house.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Seeing the eldest Sun Chong and Ma Zhou who were discussing with Li Chunfeng outside the window, Sun Xiangfu was a little surprised.
"If we don't come again, I'm afraid you'll forget that you're still the emperor's retainer!" Eldest Sun Chong was a little speechless.
Since Sun Xiangfu returned to Xingfu Village again, he has almost ignored everything in Chang'an for more than a month, and he has forgotten even the two industries that must be profitable after the emperor's strict order to make a profit, not to mention the affairs of the Fisheries Department and the Food Supervision Department, which have long been on the track.
"Hehe, that's not it, Sun Xiamu is also to apply what he has learned, and give full play to his talents, and this is to inform Sun Xiamu that the water storage work of all reservoirs has been completed, and you can put fish fry and build follow-up industries." Ma Zhou smiled and said roundly.
"Well, I'm not making preparations in advance, the fishing ground is based on the area of the water area, where should Shi Dalang have a number, make a list! When the output of the Fisheries Division is all supplied, there is still a lot of difference, and the happy village makes up for it, but the fish fry from the happy village have to be charged according to the price, and in addition, the fishing grounds can enter the chicken seedlings and piglets into the happy village, which is also according to the market price. Sun Xiangfu nodded and explained.
"You can't talk about this matter, you are not an official of the Fisheries Department, the reservoir is impounded, the work is completed, and the handover with Master Sun is completed, and you will go to the water supervisor to report to the city."
Speaking of this, Sun Xiangfu noticed Ma Zhou's title, and did not say anything like a lower official, it turned out that his grade was already the same level as himself, and he was serving as the water supervisor who was more important to Datang this year and next year.
"The chief officer of the Fisheries Division is you, and the village chief of Happy Village is also you, my aunt said, you can do this by yourself, in addition, you must take care of the supreme leather goods and royal furniture, at the end of this month, my aunt will see the accounts of the profits of the two shops. Also, my aunt asked me to ask you, Luoyang, Yangzhou, CD Division, Food Supervision Division, when do you plan to start production? ”
The woman of the eldest grandson Wuwu recognized Sun Xiangfu as one, so she didn't plan to find a second one, who called Sun Xiangfu is the most profitable person that the eldest grandson Wuwu has ever seen, it just so happens that these crops planted in Happy Village have reached the late stage of waiting for maturity, and they don't need to take care of it, Sun Xiangfu also has plans to go to other places in Datang, so he said, "I'm waiting for the new ship built by Yang Shunshui, it should be able to be launched in the next few days, and I will personally take a look at the three places then." ”
"It's pretty much the same, hurry up and pack up and go back to Chang'an with me! Your Majesty wants to see you. ”
"Uh, what's happened in Chang'an lately?" Hearing that Li Shimin called him back to Chang'an, Sun Xiangfu sighed in his heart.
"No, Chang'an is very good, but the people have a high demand for drama, and now that the spring ploughing has ended, Your Majesty feels that it is time to pass the White Snake to the next stage."
Although the eldest Sun Chong said it very easily, Sun Xiangfu always felt that something was wrong, but the emperor summoned him, and he had no room for resistance, so he called Xi Junmai and Zhao Long to clean up and accompany him back to Chang'an.
Along the way, the eldest Sun Chong explained to Sun Xiangfu the profitability of Wangjianglou in the past two months, but he was able to share some money to relieve the cash pressure of Xingfu Village to collect feed raw materials such as golden cauliflower, and within a few hours, the boat arrived at Wangjianglou Wharf, and waiting for him on the wharf was Lawyer Pei with red eyes.
"Oh, the eldest grandson is cheating on me?"
"What do you mean by that?" The eldest grandson Chong said inexplicably.
Sun Xiangfu pointed at Lawyer Pei but couldn't speak, so he had to hate and say, "Let's go, go inside and talk." ”
Entering the Wangjiang Tower, Zhao Long and a few other guards knew how big their owner's property was, and soon, Uncle De came over to help Sun Xiangfu arrange luggage, Sun Xiangfu sent Ma Zhou away first, and then entered the office of the restaurant with the eldest Sun Chong and Lawyer Pei, that is, here, there will be fewer ubiquitous secret guards in the restaurant.
"Brother Zhengming had already guessed it, so he hid in the village to avoid trouble!"
Lawyer Pei said in a low voice, but it made Changsun Chong inexplicable again.
"I can't avoid it, Your Majesty summoned me at this time, it should be for this matter." Sun Xiangfu nodded with a calm face.
"No, what the hell are you talking about?" Changsun Chong finally couldn't help but erupt and asked loudly.
"Pei Xiang has been helping the Emperor Taishang plot for restoration."
Sun Xiangfu said simply and clearly, but the frightened eldest Sun Chong trembled, and after a while, he said nervously.
"I, I'm going to report to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty has known for a long time, and besides, there should be a bureau for Pei Xiang to drill into."
Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, the eldest grandson Chong was a lot more relieved, but he reacted, why is Lawyer Pei in such a state, he hurriedly pulled Sun Xiangfu's sleeve and whispered, "In this way, after Lawyer Pei becomes a chaotic minister and thief, we should draw a line with him, what is Zhengming going to do?" ”
"He's our friend."
Sun Xiangfu said heavily, but he did not despise the eldest grandson Chong's lack of discipline, and his eldest grandson's loyalty to Li Shimin is also a kind of temperament.
"However, there is no good end for people who have something to do with this kind of thing, does Zhengming want to risk it for him?" When the eldest grandson Chong saw Sun Xiangfu and said, 'We', he knew that he and himself belonged to the same country, so he persuaded him.
