Chapter 163: The Farmer
On the second day, Sikong Fu sent people to deliver the title deeds of 2,000 taels of silver and 500 acres of land to the furniture factory.
So far, Du He has more than 500 acres of contiguous land on the side of the Bahe River, and as far as the eye can see, it is all his territory.
Du He gradually had a plan in his heart, but the territory was too big, and it was completely impossible to plan for a while.
As for the peace talks between Du He and the eldest grandson Wuji, they were deliberately suppressed by the eldest grandson's family, so in Chang'an City, only a few words could be heard.
On this day, Du He, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, and the three of them ate hot pot by the river.
After eating heartily, Cheng Chu said incomprehensibly: "Big brother, I don't know something, the Cuiweilou incident that day was in an uproar, but the final result was that the eldest grandson's family compensated for the matter, can we just let go of the eldest grandson Chong's bastard?" ”
Even Qin Huaiyu was very puzzled.
Du He shook his head: "The purpose of fighting is not to fight, but for resources. This is an eternal truth, now, my goal has been achieved, as for the eldest grandson, he is already a dead man in my heart, it is only a matter of time, why bother to see it like a dead man. ”
Qin Huaiyu said with emotion: "Du He, although you are the youngest among us, your foresight is beyond our reach, come, I respect you." ”
"Big brother, I'll mess with you in the future." Cheng Chumo said excitedly.
Several people drank in the dark, and they were drunk.
Early the next morning, at three o'clock in the morning, Du He got up from the bed.
When I walked out of the room, I found that the old man was walking back and forth in the yard.
He asked curiously, "Old Master, what are you dangling around?" ”
The old man said: "Young master, I have nothing to do these days!" ”
As he spoke, the old man came over and complained: "Now the furniture factory has Princess Changle and Zhang Du staring, the Tang Study has Yang Hao and Wang Erniu, and the accounts are watched by Princess Runan for you, and my old bones have become a waste." ”
Du He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the old man hanging his head.
This old guy just can't be idle.
He said, "Who said you have nothing to do, there is a big thing waiting for you to do right now." ”
"Ouch, young master, you can be considered to have remembered me, I thought you thought you were useless and didn't plan to use me!" The old man was as happy as a child, and then hurriedly inquired what was the matter.
Du He instructed: "You immediately go to Chang'an City and recruit a few peasants, who can farm, the more experienced the better." ”
"Young master, I heard you right, right? If we want to find farmers, is it possible that we want to farm? ”
"That's right, farming, planting potatoes, in the near future, your young master and I will be the most bullish farmer in the whole Tang Dynasty, hehe......" Du He said.
The bag of potatoes obtained by the lottery, Du He has carefully checked them, and all of them are good, but he is reluctant to move any of them, he just wants to plant them as soon as possible, leaving the seeds, if they are used to eat fried potatoes, it will be a terrible thing.
When the old man heard this, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he went to Chang'an City in person.
Nowadays, Chang'an City is the most indispensable is the peasants, these people, all of them are Shandong, Henan and other places to flee the famine, all day in Chang'an City, relying on the porridge and food distributed by the government to survive, barely able to survive, as soon as I heard that farming can get 10 yuan a day, I can't wait to come to the furniture factory.
In the end, the old man selected five young and strong ones and brought them to the furniture factory.
Du He asked Zhang Jian to secretly investigate, and after confirming the innocence of these people, he signed a contract with everyone.
In the afternoon of the same day, Du He personally led these people to clear a piece of land of about half an acre on the bank of the river, and let a few men start to turn the ground.
The five men were busy until dark, and finally turned over the land.
Duhe asked everyone to carry water for watering.
Early the next morning, the men were asked to continue to plough the ground, and after turning it over, they asked everyone to cut down trees nearby, and surrounded the half acre of land with a fence wall, leaving only an entrance and exit, and then two security guards from the furniture factory were assigned to guard the land day and night.
On the third day, the ground was turned over and a fence was built.
Du He's arrangement confused everyone.
There's nothing in the field, and there's nothing to come out of it, isn't that a waste of money?
Even the old man ran to ask Du He in confusion, and Du He only said four words: Don't be impatient.
So everyone repeated the life of ploughing the ground and building fences.
Six days passed, Du He personally went to the field to take a look, and found that the original wasteland, the soil had become moist and delicate, and then nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay now......
Planting potatoes, in fact, does not have much content, only Du He needs to explain himself, and these crops can be done very well.
In less than half a day, half a bag of potatoes was planted, and all of them were planted.
Du He instructed the old man: "Old man, from today on, you will keep an eye on this land for me, and report to me at any time if there is any situation, but anyone who dares to approach will be killed." ”
The old man heard Du He say that if this potato is planted, it can yield at least 1,000 catties per mu, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and said again and again that this was a divine object.
He knew very much about the matter, so he found someone to build a simple house next to the potato field, where he could eat, drink, and lazar, in spite of the objections of others, so that he could keep abreast of the situation in the potato field.
After five days, the potatoes began to sprout.
After Duhe examined it himself, he jumped up like a child.
What Datang lacks most is food, and once there are high-yield potatoes added, it will save countless lives.
……
The days seem to have calmed down, just like the water of the Bahe River in the past few days, and the waves are not alarming.
Except for the weather, which is getting hotter day by day, everything seems to be still.
May 24th.
Night.
There was a meteor shower.
It is said that at that time, Li Er immediately summoned Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng into the palace, and the two veterans unanimously agreed that this was a sign of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and congratulated Li Er.
Li Erlong, Yan Dayue.
Who knows, in the second half of the night, the news of the water suddenly came from the palace.
A fire burned down the entire country.
Fortunately, there were no casualties.
It doesn't matter if Guozijian is destroyed, the key is that all the books in Guozijian have been destroyed.
The most important thing is that the students who are going to participate in the scientific examination this autumn have no books.
Li Er was furious, punished the son of the country for sacrificing wine, Kong Yingda thought about it behind closed doors for a month, and fined him for one year.
On the morning of the second day, Li Er announced the incident in public, and when asked how to deal with the matter, everyone was filled with indignation and said that they would severely punish the officials of the Guozijian.
Li Er said with a headache: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to solve is not only the problem of punishing officials, but I want to ask everyone, how to recover the destruction of tens of thousands of books in this country?" ”
The people were silent.
