Volume 1 Chapter 38: This Goes to the South of the City (1)
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Yin Qingfeng mentioned to Yin Yuan, Pei and Wen that he was going to Wutong Villa, "...... Therefore, the child can only live away from the house for a while, and then come back when he is on the right track. Here the child pleads guilty to the three closest relatives and forgives the child for not being able to say hello every morning and evening. ”
"Since King Qin trusts Feng'er and entrusts you with such an important matter, you should do your best. Both of your father and your aunt are still strong, so you don't have to worry about it outside. "For this concubine to be reused by Li Shimin, Yin Yuan is the happiest person.
But his statement comforted Wen, who had not spoken much, after all, Yin Qingfeng was her son. It's just that she has never had much right to speak, so she can only look at Yin Qingfeng worriedly at this time.
"The children will go back and forth to the city from time to time, and they will see each other when the time comes. I heard that the manor was a place where a former Sui official spent summer, and the scenery was good. Aya and her two mothers can take their siblings to stay for a few days from time to time. ”
“... Seventy miles is not too far, it can be reached in less than three hours" Yin Yuan nodded.
"The child is now riding the Dawan horse that Ah Weng used to be, and the speed of going back and forth between the two places is extremely fast."
"That's even better."
"The child needs to bring some people over, and he will probably need a housekeeper and a few handymen. Yin Liang also has some generals, I also plan to bring them over, and ask my mother-in-law to help arrange it. ”
For Yin Qingfeng's request, Pei Shi was very happy. Yin Qingfeng was willing to take the people in the mansion out instead of using his own people, which showed that Yin Qingfeng did not deviate from the mansion, so she happily agreed.
Through Yin Liang, Yin Qingfeng understood that there were more than forty generals in the Yunguo Mansion, all of whom were left by Yin Qiao.
When Yin Yuan accepted the Guogong Mansion, even when the finances were not sufficient, he did not dismiss these generals, because it involved a matter of face. When people in the Tang Dynasty traveled, they didn't look at what kind of car you drove, but the number of generals in your family.
As a Guogong-level figure, if Yin Yuan didn't have a few generals around him when he went out, it would definitely be a joke, so Yin Yuan gritted his teeth and raised these generals in the mansion.
Yin Qingfeng also wanted to take Wang Xiongshui and the others to the villa, after all, he was more familiar with the people around Du Fuwei in comparison. But Yin Qingfeng was afraid that Li Shimin would have any suspicions, so he dispelled this idea.
Due to Shan Yunying's heavy body, Yin Qingfeng did not go to see any lanterns with the little girl on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, but went to Du Fuwei.
After dinner, Yin Qingfeng pulled Du Fuwei and Wang Xiongshui to play poker together. Yin Qingfeng, a young uncle, finally has a bit of what he should be at his age at this time.
I played with Du Fuwei and his righteous sons until the second half of the night, and Yin Qingfeng, who had not stayed up all night since coming to Datang, was considered to be happy.
On the eighteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of Wude, it is suitable to travel, open and marry.
On this day, Yin Qingfeng is about to start living in isolation.
Outside the door of the Yunguo Mansion at the end of the hour, more than a dozen people including Yin Qingfeng, Little Girl and Yin Liang knelt on the ground.
"Aya, grandmother, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, please take care! The child went. Brother, sister, and little sister take care of three more relatives for me! After speaking, Yin Qingfeng kowtowed a few more times before getting up.
The little girl next to him and Yin Liang and other generals also said goodbye in unison: "Please rest assured, Ah Lang, Pei Niangzi, and Wen Niangzi, Yuemei (Yin Liang) will take care of Feng Langjun." ”
Wen Shi took Yin Qingfeng's hand and cried and said to him: "Feng'er, take care of yourself." ”
"Auntie, don't worry. There is Yuemei to serve the children, and there is a good uncle to take care of the children, and the children are not hungry when they are cold. If the next time the child comes back and becomes tall and mighty, A-Niang should not know the child! ”
Wen Shi was amused: "You kid, you know how to make me happy." ”
Yin Qingfeng continued to comfort: "Auntie, don't worry, it's not that the child can't come back." If the three parents want to have a child, just let someone drive the carriage to take you to see the child. It doesn't take an hour for the child to come back on horseback. The child will come back to visit you from time to time. ”
Yin Yuan saw that Wen stopped crying and said, "Feng'er went to serve King Qin well this time. There are fathers and your mother-in-law at home to take care of the business, and your aunt to take care of the affairs of the house. Go with confidence. ”
Pei Shi continued: "Feng'er is going to be careful, don't worry about the affairs of the house." ”
"Brother Feng...""Little Brother....""Brother...."
After saying goodbye to his family, Yin Qingfeng took the little girl and Yin Liang away.
Yin Liang led the way in front, not on the main road that went south outside the city gate, but turned west to Anhua Gate and then headed southwest.
Yin Qingfeng, who was walking this road for the first time, asked, "Uncle Liang, where did the road outside the Mingde Gate lead just now?" ”
"Lang Jun, that road leads to the exit of the Meridian Road, and after entering the Meridian Road, you can go to Jingchu or Bashu."
Yin Qingfeng said: "It turned out to be the famous ancient plank road, and I will have a chance to see it in the future." ”
At this moment, Yin Qingfeng felt as if he had left the cage, and shouted: "Niu'er, run up, see how far the convoy has gone, let's catch up." As he spoke, Yin Qingfeng knocked the snow under him with his heels.
The snow instantly increased its speed to a rapid speed. Even if the road conditions are bad, it doesn't slow her speed. It's just that the poor Yin Liang and the other family will hurry up and chase after them, but they can only eat ashes in the back.
The convoy of more than 30 carriages was led by a man in his thirties named Yin Han. Yin Qingfeng's family didn't worry about him, so they took everything they could. It is equipped with clothes, bedding, pots and pans, beds, desks, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and other applications.
Li Shimin said that it was free, so Yin Qingfeng didn't send anyone to check in advance, as long as he brought everything that could be used when he went.
The convoy set off after the city gate was opened, and there was a large group of men and horses for sixty or seventy miles, and it would not have been possible to set off earlier.
After crossing a wooden bridge more than 200 meters in pairs, they caught up with the convoy. Yin Qingfeng slowed down his horse at the side of the convoy, "Han comes to take care of things, I heard that there is a Zhuangzi in our house near here, do you know where it is?" ”
"Hui Langjun, I actually passed by the Zhuangzi's field just now, but the location of the Zhuangzi is a few miles west of the road, so it's not surprising that Lang Jun didn't notice it."
Yin Qingfeng looked back, "I see." "I don't know how many acres of Zhuangzi's field there are, but Han Lai knows about it?"
"The little one used to be in charge of the livelihood of that Zhuangzi. That Zhuangzi is 640 hectares. ”
After listening to Yin Hanlai's brief introduction, Yin Qingfeng quickly calculated in his heart: "Six hundred and forty hectares, plus the total land of the villa, is about 74,000 acres in modern times. If we calculate according to our own improved planting technology, we can only grow about 15,000 tons of sorghum, 2,050 tons of soybeans, 130,000 tons of alfalfa, and 13,000 tons of barley.
Eat five kilograms per day during the young cattle period, ten kilograms per day during the fattening period, and twelve kilograms per day during the topdressing period; Twenty kilograms per day during the ripening period. Now it's three hundred and forty head of cattle, and they have to eat nearly seven tons a day. In a year, it will be more than 2,500 tons. Add a couple of horses, and three thousand tons in a year is enough.
Now it seems that this land is very rich, and it seems that it is necessary to plan this land carefully. Alfalfa doesn't know when the seeds will be available, but it looks like we'll have to plant some soybeans this year. However, even if you plant soybeans, you can't do it, you have to get some grass, straw and other green fodder. ”
Yin Han came to see Yin Qingfeng and saw that he didn't speak, and he didn't know where he didn't say right, he was worried.
Yin Qingfeng, who woke up from deep thought, then asked: "Han comes to take care of things, what were you planting six hundred and forty hectares ago?" ”
"Hui Langjun, last year 5500 hectares of millet and soybeans, 80 hectares of various vegetables and 10 hectares of orchards were planted there."
"I heard that Zhuangzi is close to the Feng River?"
"Hui Langjun, it can be fifteen or six miles before it is next to the Feng River. It's closer to the water. ”
"Do you know where barley and sorghum are grown around?"
"Hui Langjun, the small one doesn't know where to grow barley, but the other side of the Feng River planted sorghum last year."
Yin Qingfeng was excited when he heard it: "Do you know how many acres of sorghum land there are?" ”
"The little one has talked to the steward of that Zhuangzi, and it can be seventy hectares."
Seventy hectares, and their output can be 500 catties per hectare. That's 170 tons, and there can be more than 100 tons after the green rod is dried.
"In this way, Han Lai will take care of things, and you will work hard for the next few days, and check the Zhuangzi and farmers within a hundred miles around. Come back and tell me how many acres each of them has, and then sign the agreement at that time. The agreement is about growing sorghum and barley. As for the purchase price, it is calculated by the price of grain at the time of the autumn harvest. ”
"The little one will do his best to complete Lang Jun's orders."
