Chapter 332: A Visitor from Far Away
The charcoal brazier had begun to weaken, and the temperature of the room began to drop, Wang Su didn't dare to disturb when he saw the teacher's input, so he came in lightly to add carbon. Only then did Lu Shi wake up in contemplation, and seeing that Zhao Xing was still looking at himself respectfully and waiting for a decision, he couldn't help but smile and said; "Brother Zhao, I thought about something else just now, but I waited slowly, no wonder."
"King Chuang has all the opportunities, and he has the talent of heaven and man, he must have wonderful ideas, how dare his subordinates disturb? If it is broken, King Chuang's mind delays the plan of the base area, and the brothers know that they will not tear me apart alive? Zhao Xing replied with a smile, and secretly patted Lu Shi on the back during this period.
Lu Shi said with a smile; "Forget about the sycophants, let's get down to business, does Brother Geng Kui have anything else to explain?"
Zhao Xing put the cold water bowl aside and said with a smile; "There are no others, it's just that King Chuang has to take time out to set off quickly, don't wait too much for the guests, and there are a few defensive matters waiting for King Chuang to decide together."
"Okay, then I'll say hello to the Grand Commander, and we'll go." I have found the stars, and I have passed the stars of the sky; "I'm a rough man, I just can't see those businessmen and humanitarians, King Chuang doesn't have to pull me to suffer, you are the lord of the base, you can decide in a word, as long as you have a lot of my equipment, if you love money and sell my saber, see if I don't find my little sister and settle accounts with you." With that, he rode away without a trace.
Farewell to the stars, Lu Shihe and other Chen Che outside with a few guards on horseback to rush to the front village, along the road the sky is high and cloudy, there is a gentle south breeze blowing on the face, in this winter, riding on the horse does not feel cold, passing by a few small rivers, see that the ice in the river is not dry and hard, it is already wet, standing on the bridge looks no longer dazzling, groups of heartless sparrows are pecking at the broken ice to quench their thirst on the soft ice.
This is the phenomenon of warming up the climate of Xiaoyangchun that often occurs before the Chinese New Year in the north, which is normal, but this year's Xiaoyangchun is warmer than the temperature in previous years, and the time is still longer, Lu Shi grew up in the countryside, and knows that the more it is, in this way, it indicates that the less rain in the spring of the next year, the higher the probability of the occurrence of the spring cold, the more affected the harvest of the year, the worse the growth of wheat and millet, what should we think of to introduce some cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant varieties for cultivation, and increase the grain output?
He himself is a farmer's child, he knows a lot about cold-resistant and drought-tolerant varieties, the first choice is corn, even if the corn of later generations in the Northeast is 00 years of drought that has not been encountered in a hundred years, you can also harvest 800 to 1,200 catties per acre, of course, these are excellent varieties cultivated by the country with great efforts, this era is impossible, but I think it is the corn of this era, and there should be a harvest of four or five hundred catties in the year of the drought, but I don't know if this Ming Dynasty is now, and this corn has not been passed over in South America.
There are potatoes, potatoes are also cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant high-yield crops, this thing is normal to produce tens of thousands of catties per acre of land, although this thing is only starch, other nutrients are very few, more suitable for feeding livestock, but the main thing is that this thing has a short growth period, and you can also plant a season of buckwheat after harvesting.
There are also high-yield sweet potatoes, yes, this time to see what kind of person this door-to-door businessman is, if you can cooperate to hand over the source of these seeds to him to help procure, and vigorously promote it in the old camp gourd valley, then you can solve the big problem.
A carriage on the bridge in the distance was crossing the bridge carefully, and when he saw Lu Shi waiting for him, the owner of the carriage hurriedly whipped the cattle pulling the cart and drove quickly, so as not to delay the king's major event.
Lu Shixian shouted loudly at him to be careful and not to have an accident. The others walked cautiously over the ice.
The bridge is erected when the Black Tiger Army takes advantage of the holiday to carry out voluntary labor, all the large and small rivers during the period from the Black Tiger Village to Huluyu are built with large logs, and the top is covered with a rear plank, so as to bear a full load of carriages passing through (a car can carry 2,000 to 3,000 catties) to facilitate the communication between the material soldiers of the front village and the old camp, and there are several carriages in such weather to the front village under the escort of several militiamen.
Now that the government is about to encircle and suppress, the Black Tiger Army has increased a large number of troops in Qianzhai, and accordingly it is necessary to increase the material reserves of a large number of grain, grass and equipment.
Lu Shi, Chen Che and the others arrived at Qianzhai in a short time, and the soldiers on patrol saw them, and they came forward to salute on flying horses, and then led Lu Shi to the hall of Black Tiger Village.
There was no one in the hall quietly, and the soldiers who introduced him confessed to Lu Shi and Chen Che, and ran out to find Geng Kui and Wu Tao, and after a while, Wu Tao Geng Kui accompanied a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body to come in.
After Lu Shi and Chen Che hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to meet their brothers, Wu Tao stretched out his hand to introduce the slightly chubby middle-aged man to Lu Shidao; "King Chuang, this is Boss Jia, a businessman in Hanzhong." He turned around and said, "Boss Jia, this is the king of my family, you can talk to the king of my family if you have anything." ”
Boss Najia entered the hall, and when he saw a strange young man in front of him, although he was very casual and peaceful, he had sincere respect in his face and eyes, and he saw the tall young man, although he was dressed in white and dressed simply, but he was neat and free, and he had a calm and quiet face with a peaceful smile, but he looked at Geng Kui and Wu Tao in his eyes, but the two of them were close and trusting, and they felt as close and reliable as a spring breeze.
I am an old businessman, and it is a compulsory lesson to observe people's details, so I instantly felt the difference between this pole and other pole-sized leaders. Hearing Geng Kui's introduction, this is the time when the king of Chuang was like thunder, and he was shocked, but he never had half a look of pride in the face of this king of Chuang, and hurriedly stepped forward to see him.
Lu Shi also looked at the people who came at this time, the people were slightly fat, but the dress was not as frivolous and ostentatious as the other businessmen he saw, the whole looked so decent, although the current businessmen are rich, but how can they get used to thousands of years of businessmen with low status, so they take more luxury and impetuousness in dressing and enjoyment, and I can't wait for all the people to see themselves and know that they are a gold owner, and also find a balance in their hearts.
When he heard Geng Kui introduce himself, the businessman's face also changed slightly, but it was only a flash, and he was still smiling with that kind of profession, and he couldn't find it if he didn't deliberately pay attention to it, it seemed that this was a person who had seen the world and gone through the big storms.
After a few polite greetings to each other, they all found their own places to sit down, and then Lu Shi asked with a smile; "I don't know what Boss Jia's pedigree is called? Where is the big house in the house? Where did they make their fortunes? ”
Boss Najia saw that the military advisor was asking, and he was busy bowing his body; "Brother Jia Er, Hanzhong Nanzheng people, usually do some small business, this year to see the drought outside the Saiwai, Mongolian herdsmen can not afford to raise cattle, sheep, mules and horses for the winter, the price is cheap, and a few people to raise some money to traffic, this time passing by Guidi, have to go with the same to say that the Guishan righteous army is benevolent and righteous, and the trade is fair and kind, and come to make a friend with Guizhai."
Lu Shi smiled and expressed his gratitude, Jia San and Jia Er or something, it must not be his real name, and the mansion is not necessarily Hanzhong, although the accent is there, but inadvertently out of the local slang of Henan, although it is deliberately covered up, there are also some flaws.
But also, if a businessman colludes with a bandit, if he wants to use his real name, it is no different from seeking death, and everyone tacitly reveals it gently.
Next, let's talk about the weather and scenery outside, as well as the current situation of inconsequential people everywhere, in fact, in these seemingly unnutritious small talk, both sides are trying to listen to some information that is beneficial to themselves.
Seeing that it is not early, the eggs that should be pulled are almost done, Wu Tao said with a smile; "I see that it is not early, although our cottage is vulgar, but we should not treat the distinguished guests slowly, King Chuang, I have arranged some wine and food, we might as well talk about something while eating."
The habit of the Chinese, everything has to be talked about at the wine table to talk about the taste, and the boss of Najia is busy; "Then it's bothering everyone, I really haven't eaten the big pieces of meat and wine of the heroes in this cottage, and I am very envious every time I hear about the book, but today I want to satisfy my hunger, hahahaha."
Wu Tao took over and said; "Boss Jia laughed, those cottage lives that are big and divided into gold and silver bowls and drink good wine are all stories in the mouths of storytellers, how can there be such happiness now? Nowadays, the people of the disaster are bored and have no way to live, so they have to fall into the grass, and they are mostly the ones who have no next meal, sometimes they don't even have salt, only eat light food, where is Boss Jia walking the world and eating all the food in the world? It's us vulgar men who should be envied. "Suffering and poverty still want it, and it's good not for the other party to open his mouth when trading.
Boss Jia also knew this thought, and said haha; "Walking the world is not necessarily happy, these years, there are countless heroes on the mountain all over the country, there are some things to give up, Sichuan Prefecture over the county, the officials and soldiers are even more unbearable, they are eager to scrape a few taels of flesh and blood on your bones, a trip down the wind and frost without breaking the capital is already a blessing, but the rest is only enough for the old and young men of the family to chew the fruit and not die, this has to secretly pray not to be remembered by any official, a bad story is to break the family and destroy the door." When it comes to emotion, it's already embarrassing.
Although everyone knows that what he said is true and false, but the general situation is like this, and now it is really not clear whether it is better to be an official or a grasshopper, so they also sighed.
Lu Shi saw that everyone had entered this Boss Jia's urn, and hurriedly diverted the conversation and said haha; "Everyone, it's fate that we meet today, why do you keep mentioning unhappy things? Geng Kui Wu Tao, Boss Jia and I came to the cottage you are responsible for, Boss Jia is a guest, and I am also half a guest, isn't it? You don't want me to entertain me with wild vegetables and coarse grains, I won't be able to eat meat for a few days, and I must be ruthless to satisfy my hunger today. ”
Geng Kui and Wu Tao even said that even if they smashed the pot and sold iron, they would not be slow to treat the distinguished guests and kings under the mountain.
Lu Shi turned back to Chen Daodao; "Brother Chen, I want you to be closer to Boss Jia in the future." Chen Zhan Lian said that it was an honor.
So, the negotiation of some things began in the middle of a meal.
