Chapter 642: Yucheng
"Good Fragrance ......"
A big man in a gray robe rolled off his horse, his hands were vigorous and his body was well-proportioned, and the man's beard seemed to have not been handed over for too long, and his cheeks were patched, and he looked almost unable to distinguish his eyebrows.

In late spring, when the weather is mild, the locust trees on the street corners bloom, and the locust flowers on the trees exude a pleasant aroma that makes you feel comfortable.
The big man looked powerful, and his gestures had a kind of martial arts atmosphere, but when he spoke again, it made people feel that his voice was calm, and his tone was not like a soldier at all.
Of course, Huang Yucheng is not a soldier, although he looks like a soldier at first glance, and he is a burly man who is not easy to mess with, but he is a serious and well-educated man, in this scary era of low literacy rate, it is definitely a great achievement to be admitted to Xiucai, Xiucai has a lot of political and economic privileges, and a poor Xiucai like Fan Jin in the history of Confucianism is definitely a special case in the words of novelists.
"There are still a lot of acacia flowers left this year." Huang Yucheng looked at the family members who came out, and there was some emotion in his eyes.
After a few months, although I have honed myself, of course, I feel quite guilty about my family.
"The master is back." A woman hurried out, holding a child in her hand, followed by five or six servants of the Huang family.
Huang's wife is also from a scholarly family, and her father is a lifter, and when she looked at Huang Yucheng at first glance, Huang's wife almost didn't dare to recognize it. I haven't seen him for a few months, my husband seems to have changed people, if it weren't for the fact that his voice was still as soft, and there was still a familiar light in his eyes, Huang Wife really didn't dare to come forward to recognize him.
Huang Yucheng's son, who was more than six years old, came forward to pay his respects, looking like a little adult.
Huang Yucheng laughed, took two steps forward, hugged his son with a hand, and kissed him a few times.
"Grandpa!"
"Xianggong!"
Such a move, in the management of the family has always been rigorous, for Huang Yucheng, who has already given his son a lecture, it is simply an unprecedented move against the sky, and the Huang wife and son in front of him, as well as the servants of the family, were shocked.
"Well, I'll be out for a few months," Huang Yucheng put down his son and explained with a smile, "I really miss the boss." ”
Huang's wife was quite frightened and said, "Didn't you say that the father doesn't hold the son, why has it changed today." ”
"Qi," Huang Yucheng said with disdain: "In my old opinion, Master Zhang holds his son in his arms every day, can I compare with him?" Adults say that everything can't completely follow nature, but as long as you don't violate the law and morality, do whatever you want, and do it spontaneously, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Huang's wife said thoughtfully: "It seems that Master Zhang is in the same vein of heart. ”
"I thought so at the beginning, but later I realized that he also said that Yang Zhu also looked at the Mo family, and it was not a pure Confucian way. To say that Mr. Zhang is just the foundation of a child, but he has not studied for many years, and no matter how busy he is, he has never delayed, so in terms of learning, he is not worse than me anyway. If you want to say that it's really bad, it's just that some water grinding skills are not as deep as mine, and I haven't done eight strands seriously. ”
Huang Yucheng didn't want to say more, he had been separated from his family for a long time, and he was in a hurry to enter the house.
Huang's wife said casually: "Recently, everyone has had a better life, this locust tree flower is no longer in a hurry to pull the light, there are still some people who come to pull it, but I just want to add some aroma when making cakes, if you like it, sir, I will make some locust flower cakes for you to eat tonight." ”
"Oh, you have to eat." Huang Yucheng said happily: "I haven't eaten this for a long time. ”
Huang's wife glanced at her husband and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I thought that the old man must have been cleared, but I didn't expect to look much stronger than before." ”
"Hmm." Huang Yucheng pressed his arm and said with a smile: "I have officially joined the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau of the Military and Political Division, this bureau may become a division of its own in the future, and the official must be Mr. Kong, I was brought out by him, how can I be ashamed of him." Although the military secretary is not an officer, it is best to go through military training, and spend three months for his husband to stumble, but he can be regarded as qualified and passed all kinds of examinations. ”
Huang's wife also occasionally goes to the barracks to see the excitement, knowing that the military training with Yusheng is not playing, unlike the border army, can lift a stone lock, even if a set of pear flower marksmanship is qualified, the training over there is a real hard training, how many sturdy young people from peasant families have entered the military camp and are ready to endure great hardships before they survive, and the husband in front of him has actually passed the military training with Yusheng, no wonder the image has changed so much, she unconsciously praised from the bottom of her heart: "The master is really powerful." ”
Huang Yucheng's son also shouted: "Daddy is the best." ”
Huang Yucheng's temperament is no longer restrained and strict, and his wife and children are also a little relaxed, and they speak a lot more casually.
Huang Yucheng smiled silently, he was able to pass this assessment, how much hard work his family had suffered, even if it was his own relatives, how could he understand the hardships, he didn't plan to talk about it in detail, after all, with his talent, it was better not to talk about the things that were crawling in the dirt.
The family followed Huang Yucheng happily into the courtyard gate, and then entered the upper room, the family fetched water and handed towels, Huang Yucheng washed his hands and face, and felt refreshed.
Huang's wife was gossiping on the side, telling Huang Yu'an about becoming a military doctor and many other things, Huang Yucheng drank tea and said with a smile: "I know about this, Yu'an wrote to me, and he is on the right path to go." ”
"That's what the master said." Huang's wife also smiled: "I came to Xia Yu'an once last year, with a bad look, I know he wants to come to help, but you are not at home, he doesn't mention it, do I still take the initiative to give him the silver, to see him leave." Later, I heard that he became a military doctor and paid off his debts, and his family is now doing very well. ”
"Hmm." Huang Yucheng nodded and said: "Yu'an people are very smart, it is much easier to study medicine than others, they have served overseas for a few years, and their position will not be bad after they come back, and they will definitely be much stronger than before." ”
Huang's wife said: "This year's land harvest is much better than in previous years, I asked someone to estimate, one mu is afraid that it can harvest about four stones, and some land has a good harvest, I am afraid that it can harvest six stones." ”
"Good, good, good." Huang Yucheng was overjoyed and said: "I followed Mr. Kong to the north to plan the reclamation of the wasteland, for fear that the family's fields would not be taken care of, if they were busy with business, their own fields would be barren, it seems to be a joke, so it seems that you are doing really well." ”
Huang's wife said: "It's all done according to the method taught by Mr. Kong, and there are not too many tricks, but the harvest has more than doubled." ”
Last year, the average yield per mu of the Huang family's land was less than one and a half stones, and this harvest made it difficult for the tenant farmers to make ends meet, and they were still struggling with food and clothing. After the wheat harvest, the tenant farmers of the Huang family have withdrawn, Huang Yucheng in desperation followed Kong Minxing to learn agriculture, but he couldn't accept it as soon as he learned, and then he has been running with Kong Minxing for most of the year, just teaching the family how to cultivate ridges, how to fertilize, how to water, how to select seeds, the spacing when planting, and the daily labor are all according to Professor Kong Minxing, as a result, although Huang Yucheng is not at home, the Huang family does not have many tenant farmers left, most of them are short-term helpers in the village, and the harvest is several times stronger than before.
Huang's wife said very happily: "Our family has more than 300 dry fields, 100 acres of paddy fields, and we can harvest nearly 2,000 stone of wheat. And Yusheng's car to Datong is very cheap, a car can receive more than 50 stones, we sell hundreds of stones at a time, and it will be sold out in a few times. ”
"Rat-eyed." Huang Yucheng said: "In previous years, when Datong was four dollars and one stone, and Yusheng was still four dollars and five, don't worry about us to come to collect it, and come to the door every year, even if I have a prejudice against them in the first two years, I have never sold grain to He Yusheng!" To be honest, the grain prices have risen in recent years, and now is the spring famine, you see, the grain prices will rise, and it is likely to rise to one or two stones, or even higher! From last year to now, northern Shaanxi has been extremely affected, and there is Heyusheng in our area, and Datong is also hungry on the side of the pass. At this time, let's not talk about how much help we had, in order to earn less than three hundred taels of silver, I offended Li Erjiao, so how can I meet people in the future? Besides, you don't know the rules of Yusheng, you don't ask them to accept it once, and you won't come to the door in the future, and you won't accept it when you send it, you go to Datong Mansion to sell it every year? ”
Huang's wife originally said it casually, and did not refute all the feelings of Huang Yucheng's rebuttal, but she was interested in other words, and immediately clasped her hands and called the Buddha, and then said: "No wonder a lot of people have come from the west to escape the famine recently, last time I went to my mother's house and met a lot, and it was less than a hundred miles away from here." ”
Huang Yucheng nodded and said, "It should be from hearing the news." ”
The year before last, there were also a large number of victims to the vicinity of Lizhuang, that was the southern Jinnan provinces because of the earthquake and other reasons to flee, originally these people were going to Henan or southern Shaanxi to flee the famine, but and Yusheng is famous, many of the displaced people ran to this side, now the main force of the factory area and a large number of miners in Lingqiu were selected from the displaced people, and some displaced people chose to be soldiers, but the number is not much, after all, the mainstream idea of the displaced people at that time was to escape the famine, and they still have to return to their hometowns after all.
So far, I have gone back a few, but most of those who remained.
The second to third year of the Apocalypse is the year of the catastrophe, Datong to Xinpingbao, and then south to Lingqiu and Guangling, due to the existence of Yusheng, most of the people are rich, and now there are very few families who are completely dependent on the land to live, at least they can do some short-term work to supplement their lives, food prices, because Heyusheng has been stabilizing grain prices, it is also relatively stable, Li Zhuang is the core of the four two hundred miles, the price of grain is five to six dollars a stone, Datong is slightly higher, that is, six dollars to collect, six dollars five to seven dollars sold to ordinary people, But in addition to these places, the area of Biguan alone is already more than eight dollars, the Ningwu area is close to one tael, and northern Shaanxi has long exceeded one tael, and it is already rushing on the way to one, two, five.
