Whether there is Zhancheng rice now, Xu Qilin is not very clear. But it's always right to let the Feng family inquire more and strengthen crop exchanges.

In addition, Xu Qilin also deliberately compiled a manual of agricultural knowledge that is less than the "Practical Agricultural Book", called "Rice Planting", which only has two sheets of paper, but only thousands of words.

Xu Qilin's "Practical Agricultural Book" is a bit biased towards the north, and has less coverage of the cultivation of major crops in the south of the Yangtze River and outside the mountains.

He was able to collect information through various channels and ask many southerners to understand the rice cultivation in the south at that time.

For example, rice cultivation outside the ridge is mostly an extensive farming method.

The history books record that its cultivation is only to break the block, and it is no longer easy to break the block, but to plant in the field, and not to move the seedlings. After planting, drought does not seek water, waterlogging does not dredge, there is no dung soil, and it is not tired, and it is left to the sky.

To put it bluntly, after simply cultivating the land, sowing the rice seeds, and letting them grow naturally. Do not water when there is a drought, do not drain when it is waterlogged, and do not apply fertilizer and weed. How much you can gain depends on God's mood.

If intensive cultivation can be carried out, even if there is no Champong rice seed, the yield will be greatly improved. If the annual double-cropping system of rice-wheat rotation can be formed in the south of the Yangtze River, then the grain of Datang is still not enough?

If there is enough grain, we can use a variety of cash crops, so that the pockets of the peasant brothers can bulge as soon as possible. When the people have money, they can increase consumption and promote the development of commerce and trade.

Regarding Xu Qilin's suggestion, Feng Zhidai promised that not only the Feng family's fleet would pay attention to foreign crops, but also other maritime merchants would pay more attention.

In this regard, Xu Qilin didn't have much hope, just give it a try.

As he was talking, he heard the noise outside. The two hurriedly got up to look, and as soon as they went out, they heard Scarlett and Adjani laughing happily, and in the midst of laughter, the two girls led the two ladies in.

"Ah Lang, who do you think is coming?" When Scarlett saw Xu Qilin, she greeted her loudly, her body flashed, and she gave way of looking.

Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment, but then laughed, "Ake, Tang Niangzi, why are you here?" ”

Ah Ke followed the salute, but smiled silently.

Tang Yiyi also greeted each other with a salute, and said with a smile: "The slave family and Ah Ke came in a hurry after being summoned by Xu Lang. Why, Xu Lang doesn't seem to like it? ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just want you to send a few people at random, but I don't want to work two big stars." Unexpected joy, overjoyed! ”

With that, he asked Scarlett to lead the guests to the back house to settle down and rest, and then set up a banquet in the evening.

For Xu Qilin, the arrival of Tang Yiyi and Ake was indeed very unexpected. He just wants the troupe to send a few actors over, and it must be very popular in Ganzhou to add atmosphere to the New Year.

But Tang Yiyi and Ake traveled thousands of miles to Ganzhou, but they still had their thoughts.

Although Tang Yiyi got rid of her lowly status, there are still too many acquaintances in Chang'an. When performing a play, there are often audience members who bring up old things, point fingers, and appear to know more.

Marrying from a good person and living a peaceful and light life is her expectation. But in Chang'an, there is a dusty green building in the past, and there are really no lovers who dare to marry.

The shallow and vulgar, money-heavy businessman who is light on righteousness has taken a fancy to her, but Tang Yiyi doesn't want to be a concubine who snorts on her grandmother.

Therefore, Tang Yiyi has long had the idea of leaving Chang'an and starting over in a strange place. happened to use Xu Qilin to write a letter to someone, so he took the initiative to come.

Ake, naturally, also has her thoughts.

Zheng Niangzi and Wu Siong finally became married, although they were still very good to her, but she always felt a little eyesore. In Chang'an, he wanted to move out by himself, but was stopped by Zheng Niangzi and Wu Xiang.

It was also by taking this opportunity that she tried her best to walk with Tang Yiyi and come to Ganzhou to relax.

Xu Qilin didn't know this, a woman's mind, he didn't want to guess, he didn't want to guess. Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and whoever comes is almost the same.

But for Scarlett and Adjani, it's very different, it's good in Ganzhou, but there are no friends, which is probably the biggest problem.

Now that two acquaintances have come, they can not only talk and chat, but also celebrate the New Year together, and the two little girls are very happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two girls took Tang Yiyi and Ah Ke to the commercial street during the day and bought a lot of things for the two female guests.

As for the accompanying members, Xu Qilin arranged to go to the inn in the city, the best one, and the food and accommodation were very comfortable. Xu Qilin also gave each person five yuan of money, and he bought it by himself if he lacked anything.

In fact, the Chinese New Year is not too much need for any wonderful performances, mainly the Lantern Festival, which is the grand festival of the people's carnival.

Tang Yiyi lifted the curtain, looked at the scene outside, and explained to Ake: "Although Ganzhou is not as big as Chang'an, there are many people. Needless to say, there are everywhere in the world, and you have heard the messy accents, right? ”

Ah Ke nodded and said, "The people are noisy, the cars are coming and going, and you can imagine that it is a prosperous scene." ”

Tang Yiyi laughed twice and said: "The city is also in the weather of the New Year, no worse than Chang'an." There are couplets and lanterns on the doors of every house. ”

"There's also a fireworks show at night, just outside the North City Gate." Scarlett added with a smile: "The stage there is all set up, what kind of juggling, singing and dancing, I have to perform for a night!" ”

Tang Yiyi asked: "This is Xu Lang's idea, to create a prosperous image in Ganzhou." ”

Hehe, Scarlett laughed twice and said, "Ah Lang said, this is the public money that was allowed after the court was played." ”

Ah Ke pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that Xu Lang is very trusted by His Majesty, and he will be able to play it!" ”

Mm-Scarlett thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is no time to dismiss it yet." As soon as the Ganzhou business got into shape, he asked Ah Lang to take care of Suzhou, and he was not afraid of tiring him. ”

"Who made Xu Lang so capable!" Tang Yiyi thought for a while and said, "If I want to live here for a long time, it is better to buy land and farm, or to work!" ”

Ah Ke's eyes moved, and he pursed the corners of his mouth, or he had already guessed that Tang Yiyi was not so simple when he came to Ganzhou, so he didn't ask.

Scarlett was a little surprised, looked at Tang Yiyi and said, "Sister Yiyi wants to settle here?" ”

Tang Yiyi nodded and said, "I have this meaning, but I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Scarlett put her fingers around her ear, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it's not okay to buy land to farm, now there is not so much idle labor in Ganzhou, and Sister Yiyi is afraid that she won't be able to farm." ”

Tang Yiyi admitted with silence that the woman's family was not a labor force for farming, and it seemed that it was not so easy to hire someone to hire a local owner.

Scarlett looked at Tang Yiyi and said with a smile: "Sister Yiyi doesn't have to worry about it, let Ah Lang help find a way to do this." ”

Tang Yiyi also laughed and said, "This is true, how can you forget it?" ”

Ake is also a little excited, not necessarily in Ganzhou, even in Chang'an, it is excellent that she can live independently. It's a pity for their own eyes.

……………

The hustle and bustle of the year has passed, well, it's just that the official vacation is gone, and I have to go to work. As for the year, the Lantern Festival will be over!

As soon as the official vacation ended here, Feng Zhidai over there couldn't wait to leave and return to Beijing. Although I sent someone to deliver a letter to Guangzhou, it was still too far to wait here.

Xu Qilin gave up after a while, and he also understood Feng Zhidai's urgency. Untie the entanglement with the imperial court as soon as possible, plant cotton and textile as soon as possible, and the Feng family can continue to be the southern tyrant with peace of mind.

And Fang Er also confided the truth to Xu Qilin after Feng Zhidai left. He also knew that it would be bad for Xu Qilin to go to Xu Qilin and conceal it, at least he would inform a family member like Fang Xiang!

Xu Qilin couldn't help but be taken aback, things were bigger than he thought! If it's another girl, it's better to say, this is a princess, spread out, where is the royal face?

"It's really overheard, didn't Fang Xiang tell you?" This matter must be clarified, and it is also evidence to get rid of the name of running away from marriage.

Fang Er's head nodded again and again, and swore a curse: "I overheard, my father and my mother haven't told me yet!" ”

Xu Qilin breathed a sigh of relief, if this was the case, there was still room to turn around.

Fang Er shouted anxiously: "I'm telling the truth, so I'm counting on you to find a way!" Brother, you won't leave it alone, will you? ”

Xu Qilin squinted at Fang Er, and said in his heart: Why are you so dishonest? When your colt wears your green hat, plots against you, cuts off your head, and acts according to the script!

But now, everyone is coming, and it's not a big deal to help.

Thinking of this, Xu Qilin said: "If you want to say a way, I don't have it." If you really don't want to go back, then put it off for a while, and then take out the same rhetoric that fooled me when you first came. As long as Chang'an doesn't come to tie you up, you will stay in Ganzhou, and after beating Gaochang, it will take more than half a year. Perhaps, there will be a change at that time, and you don't want to be a colt. ”

Fang Er blinked his eyes and said, "It seems to be a solution." ”

Xu Qilin emphasized again: "You must not let people know that you know about Princess Shang, if you are convicted of escaping from marriage, you will be finished." ”

"Yes, yes." Fang Er grinned and said, "I'm not stupid, how dare I provoke Your Majesty to be angry and lose the royal face?" ”

Xu Qilin also smiled and said, "Brother Fang is extremely smart, and he will be right when he says it." ”

Fang Er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not smart to talk about, it's not too stupid, it's just a muddy person." ”

Hey, this guy is still a bit self-aware.

Xu Qilin looked at Fang Er thoughtfully, feeling that this guy might not be like in history.

Besides, the about Princess Gaoyang and the debate monk is also very controversial in history.

Rigorous historians believe that it was a fabrication of the Song people, and based on the enthusiasm of the masses for this kind of thing, the more they say it, the more true it becomes.

To put it bluntly, it is to spread falsehood. At first, I don't know who started this, and there were some rumors. Subsequently, someone continued to process it to make it fuller and fuller. In the end, it becomes a real picture of dialogue, psychology, action, and scenes.

Xu Qilin's original idea was to believe in it rather than believe in it. For some cheating goods, stay away. It doesn't matter if you're true or not, it's always right that Lao Tzu doesn't touch the edge!

But there are some things, some people, that you can't just get rid of if you want to. Fang Er is an example, you can't send someone to kidnap him back to Chang'an, right?

Send Fang Er away, this guy has a big face, and said that the money on his body is gone, and he has to go for more than a dozen times, whether he is looking for a little girl, Xu Qilin doesn't know.

Xu Qilin wrote a letter to the capital, then went out of the study, strolled around with his hands behind his back, and when he passed by the hall, he heard a familiar voice inside.

It turned out that Scarlett, Adjani, Tang Yiyi, and Ake were inside, talking, and playing mahjong. Well, it's not quite accurate to say that it's playing, it's teaching Tang Yiyi and Ake how to play cards.

Tang Yiyi has no problem learning, but Ake is a little difficult. She has to rely on the feeling in her hand to figure out what the card is.

Moreover, she has to have a good memory, know her own hand style, and what is playing outside.

"If you touch it, there are seven round holes, and it is seven cylinders." Adjani patiently put the cards in Ake's hand.

Ake did touch it, nodded and smiled, Scarlett handed over another 60,000 yuan, and said: "This one with numbers is not easy to touch, and the strips and tubes are still easy." ”

"I can figure it out, but I can't remember the cards in front of me!" Ake was a little uninterested, but it was hard to say it directly, so he had to find a reason.

"That's right, you don't bully Miss Ake!" The rough voice suddenly sounded, startling Xu Qilin, why is this guy Fang Er also inside, he doesn't even squeak, has been looking stupidly?

Fang Er was also bored, and when he was fooling around with Feng Zhidai outside, he found that there was this mahjong dongdong in the Qinglou, which was very popular.

So, he and Feng Zhi wore a side to fool around with beautiful women, and they also learned a little fur, at least knowing the simplest way to play.

As he walked through the hall just now, he heard a commotion in the hall, and the familiar sound immediately intrigued him.

Originally, Scarlett and Adjani didn't plan to take him to play, so they thought about teaching Tang Yiyi and Ake to make a table for recreation.

But Fang Er was thick-skinned, so he sat next to him and watched and listened. Seeing that Ah Ke was about to retreat, he suddenly made a sound, which startled Xu Qilin outside.

"Let's play two rounds, we can't win money!" Fang Er leaned over with a shy face, "I want to practice more, and I won't be ashamed to go out." ”

Adjani blinked her eyes and asked, "Brother Jun is not familiar with the game?" ”

"Just now, I only know a little skin." Fang Er was a little surprised, "Who would have thought that Ganzhou had this good thing, but Chang'an didn't have it!" ”

Scarlett laughed and said, "This mahjong was invented by Ah Lang in Chang'an, but it didn't get out. When I arrived in Ganzhou, I probably felt bored and bored, so I made a lot of them, and sold them together with the printed gameplay. I heard that there are many people who like to play, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Adjani stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Fang Er's eyes, and said, "We have a lot of luck playing mahjong, and there are not many, ten copper coins as the base." ”

"Hey, the little girl dares to look down on a certain family." Fang Er was happy when he heard it, and patted his waist, "Ten copper coins want to scare off a certain one?" ”

Adjani glanced at Scarlett and said, "Then let's accompany Brother Jun to play two laps?" They are guests from Chang'an! ”

Xu Qilin pouted outside, Adjani was a little cautious, first asked Fang Er if he was familiar, and heard him say that he had just learned, this was to win some pocket money from Fang Er!
