Although Zhong Hao has been in the Great Song Dynasty for three years, many customs and customs of the Great Song Dynasty are not very well understood, and after listening to Zheng Feng's words, he figured out the reason why these two girls were willing to take the initiative to serve the forester. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, many poor families in the Great Song Dynasty like to send their daughters to big families as concubines. Of course, the daughters of poor people who can be big families are generally more standard-looking, or have some talents. If you look too ordinary and don't have any talent, you can only go to a big family to be a maid.

If the daughters of these poor families are smarter, they can naturally learn a lot of things in large families, such as etiquette and temperament, financial management skills, etc. The concubines of the Great Song Dynasty are generally contractual, many of them are three-year, and the concubines can leave by themselves at the end of the period, which is very different from the concubines of the former Tang Dynasty who are like slaves. In the Great Song Dynasty, the degree of personal freedom of concubines is still very high.

In the Great Song Dynasty, if those concubines did not want to continue to be concubines after the expiration of their term, the main family would generally give a certain amount of money. Of course, if they have children, they will generally be left in the lord's house, and they generally cannot be taken away, and of course, when the concubines with children leave, they will be paid more.

In this era, Cheng Zhu Lixue, which has many restrictions and shackles on women, is far from flourishing. These daughters of poor families who have worked as concubines in large families will not be discriminated against if they remarry. On the contrary, it will become the object of many people's families vying for marriage.

Most of these girls who have been concubines in large families have a certain appearance, and they have been cultivated in large families for several years, whether they are good or have various talents, they have greatly improved, and most of them have some assets as dowries, so they are naturally the objects of ordinary people vying for marriage.

Moreover, after these girls who have been concubines in large families marry into their husbands' families, because they have learned some skills in large families, most of them can run the family. In addition to being in charge of the household, they often also shoulder the task of educating their children.

Lin Yuan Wailang is a civil official who was born as a jinshi and has a bright future. Although he is nearly middle-aged, he is still handsome and chic, and he is literary ~ flowing. These two daughters of the poor Xiangjun want to take the initiative to sleep for him, maybe they can be admitted to the room by the forester wailang because of an overnight relationship, and it will also be a good way out. After all, not everyone yearns for that kind of poor love.

In the era of lack of free love in the Great Song Dynasty, the first factor considered by many families to get married was the satisfaction of material conditions.

Since these two girls took the initiative to ask to go to sleep for the forester, Zhong Hao also pushed the boat to meet their request.

Of course, Zhong Hao can only arrange opportunities for them, as for whether the forester likes it or not, Zhong Hao can't control it.

A civil official like a forester wailang, the woman he likes is naturally the first choice for a gentle and lovely woman who knows some talents, I wonder if he will want to change his taste?

………………

Today, there are three shots on the day, and the forester Wailang has not gotten up yet.

Last night, the two young girls in Jingqiang Village were arranged to go to the forester's house, and they never came out again all night, obviously the forester waiter left them to sleep.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but secretly slander himself: This guy is not young, and he dares to stay with the two of them, and he is not so tired that he can't get out of bed, it's strange!

When the forester got up, it was already noon. He was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhong Hao, because they had originally made an appointment to go to Tiantai Mountain together today, but they were ridiculous all night, and they didn't get up until now.

"Alas, I'm old, and I want to be a brother when I was young...... Ahem, I don't think I can do it with my muscles and bones! ”

"Haha, Brother Mingyuan is a model for my generation, this is already very powerful, after all, he flies with two beauties, if it is a younger brother, he may not be able to withstand it!"

"Haha......" Forester Wailang couldn't help but be very happy when he heard Zhong Hao's compliment. No man likes to be praised for being strong in that kind of thing.

"This mutton soup is a good product to warm up for deficiency, replenish qi, nourish yin and yang, although Brother Mingyuan is 'brave and good at fighting', but there is no harm in drinking some of this mutton soup!"

"Well, then I've thanked Brother Wen Xuan first! Since these good products can not only replenish the yang, but also nourish the yin, can you give me the ...... in the room? Uh, some too! ”

"No problem, little brother, let someone send it!" It seems that this forester Wailang still likes these two girls very much, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Zhong Hao to send someone to bring them this sheep soup! This time, it is estimated that the two girls' climbing ambitions should be very likely to be achieved.

The forester is a little soft-footed today, and it is definitely not possible to visit the rooftop. Although the rooftop is not too steep, it is also quite steep and towering, and it is naturally impossible to climb up with the current state of the forester.

Therefore, the forester Wailang decided to go to inspect the authenticity of the high-yield grain crops in Jingqiang Village today!

Forester Wailang is also from a poor family, and he is no stranger to farming, otherwise he would not have written the emotional "Autumn Harvest and Rain". It is precisely because he is familiar with agricultural affairs that he does not believe in this grain crop that yields ten stones per mu.

Jingxi Road, where the hometown of Linyuan Wailang is located, is located in the Central Plains, although it is also dry land, but the land is fertile, much stronger than the barren land in the northwest. But the fertile land of his hometown grows crops, and the yield of two or three stones per mu is already an absolute high yield. Therefore, in this barren land in the northwest, there are grain crops that can produce ten stones per mu, and the forester does not believe it directly!

However, this Brother Zhong is so good at his reception, not only is the reception ceremony so in place, but there are also people to warm the bed at night, so he still has to try his best to help Brother Zhong no matter what. The literati have a good name, and Zhong Hao's welcoming ceremony at the gate of the village gave the greatest satisfaction to the psychology of the good name of the forester, and naturally made the forester have a deep sense of identity with Zhong Hao.

Forester Wailang made up his mind that as long as this grain crop had a yield of more than five stones, he would help Zhong Hao go back and report that there was indeed a grain crop with a yield of ten stones per mu. After all, the yield of five stones per mu is already twice as high as that of other grain crops. One is a grain crop with twice the yield of other grain crops, which already means too much to the Great Song Dynasty.

If there is a production of five stones, the forester Wailang will naturally be able to prove that it is possible to reach ten stones. After all, grain production has a lot to do with whether the land is fertile or not, whether the irrigation is sufficient or not, whether the fertilizer is sufficient or not, whether the sowing is timely or not, and so on. There is a lot of room for manoeuvre in these areas.

The forester was born in the household department, and he is also a professional, so it is no problem to fool those officials who don't understand farm affairs.

Of course, if this kind of grain crop in Jingqiang Village can't even reach five stones, the forester Wailang can't help.

Although the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty pay attention to enjoyment and love fame, they still have some backbones. The fraud is too ruthless, and the forester does not do it.

Besides, if he can't even reach five stones, he dares to report ten stones, which is too risky. After all, if this crop is reported to ten stones, the official family will definitely promote it throughout the country. In the future, the yield gap is too large, and the forester is afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Taking such a big risk for others, the forester will not do it!

………………

Outside Jingqiang Village, in the potato and sweet potato fields on the bank of the Kuye River, the soldiers of the Pingxi Army in the Jiadu of the left camp were digging potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The land excavated by these soldiers of the Pingxi Army was specially measured by the forester Wailang and the entourage of the forbidden soldiers.

In order to estimate the yield more accurately, the forester Wai Lang specially asked each of the two crops to measure two acres each, and then make an average.

These soldiers of the Pingxi Army dug very carefully, digging from a long distance from the potato and sweet potato trees, trying to ensure the integrity of the potatoes and sweet potatoes. These are the food of the village, and the people who have been hungry have a strong love for food.

Although the forester wailang loves fame and some beauty, he is still very serious when he does things, which is also the characteristic of many scholars and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty. Despite his sore legs and weak feet, he went back and forth in the field to inspect the digging of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Of course, he was also supervising the soldiers of the Pingxi Army by the way, and he was afraid that Jingqiang Village would cheat in it. After all, these potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown in the ground, and it is still possible to fake them.

Of course, these four acres of land are all plots selected by the forester Wailang, and even if Jingqiang Village is fake, it is unlikely that more potatoes and sweet potatoes will be buried in all the hundreds of acres of fields. Forester Wailang naturally knows this, he just wants to ensure the real yield as much as possible.

The soldiers of the Pingxi Army piled up the dug potatoes and sweet potatoes next to the fields, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army led by the forester Wailang and his entourage weighed them with large scales.

Those soldiers of the forbidden army, every time they were called, the forester would write them down carefully.

In the end, the results of the weighing surprised the forester Wailang, the yield of this potato was more than 13 stones, and the yield of sweet potatoes was also more than 10 stones. Moreover, this sweet potato has not yet fully grown, and if it is fully grown in another month, I am afraid that it will be more than the yield of potatoes.

Looking at the large pile of potatoes and sweet potatoes, the forester couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wenxuan, is this ...... Can these potatoes and sweet potatoes really be eaten? ”

"This ...... Naturally, it's edible, and it tastes pretty good. Both of these crops can be used as both grain and vegetables, and they are definitely good food crops. Brother Mingyuan want to try it? Tonight, the little brother will let Jingqiang Village prepare a whole potato feast! ”

"Whole potato feast?"

"These potatoes and sweet potatoes are the common names in our village, and the official names of these two crops, the younger brother gave them flour potatoes and sweet potatoes respectively! This potato contains starch, uh, there is more potato noodles, so the younger brother named it the noodle potato, and this sweet potato is sweet, and the younger brother named him sweet potato! Of course, these two crops will still have to be named by the official family in the future! "This starch, there is no such name at this time, it is replaced by Zhong Hao thought of a potato noodle.

"Oh, I see! Then I naturally want to try this whole potato feast tonight, haha! ”

"I promise that after letting Brother Mingyuan taste it, I am full of praise!"

"If these potatoes and sweet potatoes are really delicious, then these two food crops are really auspicious in the Great Song Dynasty, which can make my Great Song Dynasty no longer have the risk of hunger. Wenxuan rest assured, your knighthood will definitely be fought for for you as a brother! ”

"I don't want to be knighted, I only wish that there will be no hunger in the Great Song Dynasty! It is the duty of our generation of literati to seek some well-being for the people of the world, and I really don't deserve any title", Zhong Hao pretended to be at the right time.

"Brother Wenxuan is really a model of literati of my generation, and he is so obedient to his brother!"

In the evening, Zhong Hao prepared a whole potato banquet, which made the forester Wailang very satisfied.

Potato stewed beef brisket, potato steamed fat sausage, vinegared shredded potatoes, and sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes made with honey and sweet potatoes made dishes, which made the forester Wailang very praised. The potato cake and sweet potato porridge as the staple food also made the forester feel very fresh, refreshing and delicious.

This whole potato feast, although the delicacy of the dishes is incomparable with yesterday's banquet, but it is unique, especially let the forester Wailang personally feel the edibility of the two food crops of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and it is definitely a memorable banquet.

These potatoes and sweet potatoes are so high-yielding, if they are promoted, they will definitely make the Great Song Dynasty no longer have to worry about hunger, it is really a treasure!

………………

Lin Yuan Wailang's trip to Qincha was very satisfying.

Looking at the cart of potatoes and sweet potatoes brought by the forbidden army behind him, the forester seemed to see the official family smiling. When the official family is happy, it is naturally indispensable to have their own benefits.

There are also a lot of things in the carriage he rides, and Lin Yuan Wailang really likes his young and talented Brother Zhong too much, no wonder he has already mixed with the eighth-rank official body at a young age, and he is about to be knighted, and the level of his work is there, it is really impeccable! Although the title of Da Song is not very valuable, this is also a status symbol after all, not everyone can get it!

The forester looked at the souvenirs presented by Zhong Hao in the car, and his eyes were full of smiles. Nitrate Tan sheepskin, air-dried Tan mutton, a few jars of jade liquid sake, and a Xia Ren sword that the Great Song literati liked to use for comparison. Of course, just these local specialties are not enough to make the forester smile so widely.

Among the burdens wrapped in sheepskin, it is the "local specialty" that makes the forester smile the most, which is full of yellow and white things.

This trip to Qincha not only received fame, but also received benefits, but also received color, it was really worth the trip.

The two girls who took the initiative to sleep with the forester were caught by the forester and planned to be taken as concubines. Of course, the forester went out of Beijing to serve as an envoy, so naturally he couldn't go back with Liangmei. Although the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty have the elegance of the wind ~ flow, but the fake public and private affairs must be sprayed by the imperial historians. The two girls are also willing to be concubines for the forester, and Zhong Hao will then arrange for them to be sent to the forester's mansion in Tokyo.

You must say a few more good words for Brother Zhong, otherwise you won't be able to repay his hospitality, the forester thought silently.

Of course, this grain crop with a yield of ten stones per mu is really there, even if he doesn't say many good things, the matter of Brother Zhong's knighthood is inevitable. A few more kind words for him, benefit but not cost, why not! (To be continued.) )
