It's winter again.

Xiao Han.

Qingyun Village, Mozhu Courtyard.

The hall was full of celebrations and laughter.

Compared with last year, there is too much laughter and laughter in Qingyunzhai this year.

A tiring year, countless sweats and even tears, in exchange for a bumper harvest in autumn.

There was no grain piled up in the barn, houses were lined up, and the people were wearing new clothes......

In the dining room, Lin Ning greeted the three tables of people, and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to invite everyone to have a good meal, but I have been busy, and now I finally have to be free, I personally cooked, and made such a big table of good dishes, treat you." ”

The first table was Aunt Chun and some old fellows from the cottage, such as Fang Lin of the first two masters, Hu Dashan of the third masters, Aunt Xue of the fourth masters, Zhou Cheng of the eighth masters, and Master Falke and his wife.

The second table is Tian Wuniang, Huang Hong'er, Zhu Que, Wu Yuan, Dongfang Yiren, Zhou Nini, Linglong Xiaodaogu, Xiao Jiuniang, Ning Nannan, Hou Yuchun, Mo Fei and others.

The third table was Yan Zhong, Fang Zhi, Baoler, Hu Xiaoshan, Zhou Shi, Zeng Niu, Li Xuan and other people who had been busy on the grassland for a year.

Hearing Lin Ning's words, Hu Dashan said angrily: "You should treat your fourth uncle well, stirring the dung pit for you for a year, and now your body is still stinky." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Hu Dashan was not the only one who had a grudge against Lin Ning because of this matter.

Even Master Fake, Yan Zhong and the second generation of a table of thieves all "glared" at Lin Ning.

This year, in order to improve the grain production of the land, Lin Ning dug a full 38 septic pits, encouraged and even required all the people not to empty the toilet at will, but to pour it into the manure pit and ferment it into fertilizer.

It's just hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and tens of thousands of people can't pull it day and night, so he asked Yan Zhong to take the Tuxing flag and pull back the manure of cattle, sheep and horses from the grassland, and come back to fertilize.

At the beginning, this proposal almost set off countless resistances, but all of them were ruthlessly suppressed by Lin Ning, and all opposition was invalid.

As a result, Qingyunzhai became the first farmhouse fertilizer implementation area in this era.

The effect, however, is significant.

There was no need for an autumn harvest at all, and not long after the seedlings appeared, the farmers found that the seedlings were growing stronger this year than in any previous year.

When the autumn harvest arrives, there are even more surprises.

The complaints and even hatreds that were once hidden in my heart have all turned into gratitude and joy in the face of the great harvest.

At this time, everyone's complaints are full of joy.

Hou Yuchun said with a smile: "Who would have thought that those pickled grains and grains reincarnation could be turned into treasure in Xiao Ning's hands?" Our land here is barren in the end, although the effect is good, but compared with Shuzhong, it is worse. I went to Jincheng a few days ago, and when I saw Xiaoyan, I found that he had a smile on his face. ”

Lin Ning said with a smile: "The third brother has become a landlord and a rich man, and the granary is full, can he not laugh?" Speaking of which, the most important thing to thank is still my ladies. Earlier, those grandmasters were still holding their identities and refusing to do these 'lowly' agricultural work. It was my ladies, in order to support me, who personally went to the field and pulled the plough to work in the field, sowing seeds and weeding. Those people put down their shelves and started working. So for this first drink, I have to honor my great ladies. ”

As he spoke, Lin Ning raised his glass to the people at the second table.

Aunt Chun laughed loudly at a table next to her: "Yes! Don't say that Wu Niang, even after Ayuan followed you, they all led Tie Pear to plough the land, and they have suffered all the hardships they have not suffered in their lives, shouldn't you have a good toast? ”

Aunt Xue ate the taste on the side: "It's not just Ayuan......" But then she came to her senses, and at this time she was afraid of causing public anger when she spoke for her daughter, so she turned her mouth and said: "Aunt Chun, I said that you are partial, is this a good toast?" Your Xiao Ning sent a group of wives and daughters-in-law to work in the fields, and sent us old disgusted things to stir up dung, but he didn't do it himself, and you said that he was tired and thin! ”

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Fang Zhi, Hu Xiaoshan and others echoed it.

On the second table of wives and concubines, all the women looked at Lin Ning with a smile.

Lin Ning coughed dryly, and said with a straight face: "Everyone, don't misunderstand. Is my Lin Ning that kind of person, huh? It's not that I'm boasting about my own merits, but I have researched the agricultural fertilizer method, right? Also, more importantly, I brought someone to get the Wuniang spinning machine, right? Not to mention, the restructuring of this spinning machine is simply immeasurable. In the past, a spinning machine could only spin one yarn at a time, how tiring was it? Now, spin eight at a time! You know what that means? Under Qingyun's command, everyone has clothes to wear, and they can also sell a large number of them to the outside world!! ”

Fang Zhi was much calmer than before, and even grew a beard around his mouth, he asked: "Xiao Ning, I heard that most of the cloth for takeaway in the cottage was sold to the Qin State, that is, through the Meng family that had formed an alliance with us before, and the price was thirty percent cheaper than the cloth of the Qin State itself, why is this?" Aren't we hostile to Qin? ”

Many people looked at it when they heard this, Fang Lin pinched his beard, shook his head and said, "Even I don't understand what kind of trick Xiao Ning is using." ”

Lin Ning laughed and said, "It's hard to explain this matter in a few words...... Let's put it this way, we sent people to Qin, Chu and Qi to collect mulberry hemp, a large number of them. After spinning and weaving, the cloth is sold. ”

Hu Xiaoshan, who is quite talented in the cottage business, was puzzled: "But the mulberry hemp and raw silk we collect are not cheaper than others, and they are sold so cheaply after spinning and weaving, isn't it a loss?" ”

Lin Ning said with a smile: "How can you lose money? The cloth that is sold is more expensive than mulberry hemp no matter how it is calculated, right? ”

Hu Xiaoshan was unconvinced: "But it's cheaper than other people's cloth, and others earn more, so won't we lose?" ”

Lin Ning shook his head and said, "Our cloth is cheap, that's because our spinning efficiency is eight times higher than others." Mulberry hemp becomes cloth, cloth is expensive, why is it expensive? It is because the process of turning mulberry hemp into cloth is valuable and has added value. Let's make this process simpler, eight times faster than others, but only three percent cheaper than others, which is already a big profit. Although the cloth is cheap, it sells more and sells faster, so it is not a loss. As for why the Qin State was chosen, it was because a large amount of cheap cloth was sold into the Qin State, which could destroy the textile industry of the Qin State and make the cloth of the Qin State under the control of Qingyunzhai. Moreover, the gold and silver obtained from the sale of cloth were exchanged for grain, iron tools and even weapons, which were smuggled out of the Qin State, which greatly hollowed out the national strength of the Qin State. It's a pity that this kind of smuggling was only banned by the Qin State after only half a year, otherwise this alone would have caused most of the Qin State to collapse. ”

Hou Yuchun rubbed his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "Although I don't understand your twists and turns, it seems to be very reasonable, too complicated...... But you don't have to be annoyed, as you said, there are such big interests, and the Qin State can't put an end to it if it wants to, and it's not like it's still smuggling to the Qin State. Besides, the internal strife in Qin has not completely subsided until now, if it weren't for the shameless old thief of Dongfang Qingye, who personally threatened the people of the Jixia School Palace and the Imperial City Division to get out of the Qin State, I am afraid that the Qin State would have completely collapsed at this time. Even if it hasn't collapsed now, after a year of civil strife, the rebellion that spread to more than fifty counties has also greatly damaged the vitality of the Qin State, and the country's fortunes have declined to the bottom. All these things are thanks to you. Xiao Ning, although you haven't worked much this year, you are still the biggest contributor to Qingyunzhai. Come, big brother toasts you with a glass of wine and says to you: hard work. ”

As soon as these words came out, except for a few elders at the first table, everyone else stood up one after another, raised their glasses and said to Lin Ning: "Xiao Ning, it's hard work." ”

When Lin Ning heard this, he smiled, raised his glass and said: "Ouch, be polite, come and come, everyone has worked hard this year, eat this glass of wine together, and make persistent efforts next year!" The planting of the land, the manure of the manure! ”

Everyone: "......"

After a burst of laughter and scolding, everyone was about to eat and drink, when suddenly an unpleasant voice came:

"Gross!"

Seeing Suzaku lying at the table retching, several people who came over widened their eyes......

This is, what's wrong?
