Chapter 15: The Prefectural Order Is Crazy (5)

Seeing You Wanxiong's shocked expression, Zhao Kang still said a little proudly: "How is it?" Lord You, this salt and this grain are not bad, right? ”

You Wanxiong's reaction made Zhao Kang a little disappointed, he just shook his head lightly, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Zhao, are you going to use this kind of food as the military food of the militia soldiers?" ”

Zhao Kang was a little stunned when He Wanxiong asked: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with you-sama? Zhao Kang didn't understand why You Wanxiong asked like this.

You Wanxiong said: "It is estimated that even our biggest official in Shaanxi, Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, rarely eats such good quality food, and uses this food to eat those Qiu Ba who are soldiers, doesn't Lord Zhao feel that it is a waste?" ”

Zhao Kang asked with some surprise, "Is it so exaggerated?" So what do those soldiers usually eat? ”

You Wanxiong said: "In our Yansui Town, of course, we mainly eat millet, millet, black noodles and the like, and then there are some dried vegetables and wild vegetables, and the family can make do with it." ”

Zhao Kang couldn't help but be shocked, although he didn't know what the "dried vegetables" You Wanxiong was talking about, but judging from the name, it shouldn't be a good thing.

No wonder the two sergeants I saw at the city gate that day were not only short in stature, but also wished that the 206 bones on the whole body were all ribs, and I also heard that many soldiers became blind at night and couldn't see anything, that is, the typical night blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency. Protect your legitimate rights and interests from being violated?

But at this time, he couldn't lose You Wanxiong's face, Zhao Kang snorted and said: "No way, the food that my foolish relatives transported this time is all like this, and this time it will be cheaper for those Qiu Ba, so let them make up for their bodies at that time." ”

You Wanxiong didn't say anything anymore, and continued to visit the materials transported by Zhao Kang. Picking up a potato, You Wanxiong asked, "Lord Zhao, what is this?" ”

Zhao Kang said: "You don't know the potatoes? ”

"Potatoes?" You Wanxiong said, "Can this thing be eaten?" ”

Zhao Kang said: "You can't eat it, why am I piling it up in the warehouse?" These are seeds, and in the future, I want everyone in our Fugu County to plant these things for me. What buckwheat and millet seeds, the yield per mu is only a few dozen catties, and you have to depend on the sky to eat, so many people deserve to starve to death. My potatoes, as long as they are well cared for, will yield ...... per mu?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Kang paused for a moment, and suddenly thought that Fugu County was already a semi-arid area, and there were no water conservancy projects at all these years, let alone chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and he didn't know how much an acre of land could produce, so he said a little conservatively: "This mu yield, to say the least, there are 1,000 catties." ”

Hearing "There are 1,000 catties per mu yield", You Wanxiong almost couldn't stand steadily, his legs were weak and he almost fell, but fortunately, Zhao Fugui next to him was quick and quickly helped him. But the face is very ugly.

Zhao Kang asked worriedly, "Lord You, are you okay?" Are you sick? Why don't I ask Zhao Fugui to help you go back to rest first, these things are piled up here anyway, and you can come and see them when you are better. ”

Zhao Kang thought to himself: Isn't there something wrong with this old fox? If I die here all of a sudden, I really can't get out of the relationship. If people think I'm murdering, that's a big problem! The county order murdered the county Cheng, and it can be regarded as headline news in the Ming Dynasty, where there is a serious lack of entertainment activities......

You Wanxiong replied: "It's okay, it's okay, Lord Zhao, let's continue, I just accidentally broke my foot just now." ”

You Wanxiong thought to himself: I just see that your little offspring is boasting here, and you still produce a thousand catties per mu, why don't you go to heaven?

Zhao Kang looked at You Wanxiong carefully, and was relieved to see that the other party's face slowly returned to normal, if this old man had any three long and two short, and he had falsely accused himself, it would be a big loss.

After making sure that You Wanxiong was okay, Zhao Kang opened a pocket, grabbed out a handful of seeds like watermelon seeds, and handed them to You Wanxiong: "You don't even know about this, right?" Actually, I didn't know that this thing was sweet potato seeds! Do you know sweet potatoes? Farming can yield thousands of catties per mu! If we plant this thing earlier, will we still starve to death in Fugu County? You deserve the same in this county, if you don't get some of this kind of high-yield stuff to plant for the people earlier, when the natural disaster comes, you will be dumbfounded again. ”

Zhao Kang is still relatively sure of the yield of sweet potatoes, because he has grown them at home.

You Wan said ambitiously: How can I know what sweet potatoes and potatoes are? Besides, labor and management are deeply skeptical about these things that produce 1,000 catties or thousands of catties per mu as you mentioned.

But he said: "The county lord has taught a lesson! ”

Zhao Kang brought another handful of corn and said, "You should always know about this thing, right?" ”

You Wanxiong looked at it and said, "I know, maize." It is cultivated in Hebei and Shandong. ”

Zhao Kang said arrogantly: "Maize, what the hell? I'm still Uncle Zhao! This thing is called corn, forget it, it's rare to tell you, anyway, this thing doesn't pick the ground, drought resistance, it is suitable for our Fugu County, the yield is of course not as good as sweet potatoes and potatoes, but the yield per mu should be very easy. And it is better to use it as a staple food than potatoes and sweet potatoes. Eating too many potatoes has indigestion, and eating too many sweet potatoes has stomach acid and heartburn. This cornmeal does not have these side effects. ”

You Wanxiong thought: Labor and management have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never heard of where the maize can yield hundreds of catties per mu, this Zhao Daxian order can really blow, it seems that the ancients said that is not bad at all: there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm.

Compared to the grain and salt just now, You Wanxiong was obviously not interested in these seeds. Picked up a set of labor protection uniforms and asked, "Lord Zhao, is this the military uniform you prepared for the soldiers of the People's League?" It's a little weird. ”

Zhao Shuigen definitely didn't want others to know that these labor protection clothes were cheap goods he ordered on Taobao when he ran out of money, so he said unashamedly: "Yes." Well, it's really different. But what I want to build is an army that serves the common people, the people's soldiers! Of course, you have to be different. ”

Although You Wanxiong's face was very calm, there were big waves in his heart: the people's soldiers?! It seems that the county lord's plan is not small.

Then he went to look at the gun head and farm tools, You Wanxiong looked at the shiny stainless steel gun head and brand new farm tools, even if he had been a landlord all his life, he couldn't help but admire: "Good iron!" Good steel! Lord Zhao is really powerful, we can get whatever we lack in Fugu! ”

Zhao Kang said: "Wherever and where, these things belong to my relatives, because I am not short of money, so I will give them to me first, and I will have to pay them back later." ”
