As Chinese New Year's Eve approached, the sky finally cleared. Although the ground was still knee-deep in snow, the cold wind had stopped.

These days, Qin Ze is also afraid that the greenhouse he built will be crushed by snow, but now it seems to be not bad. And now the leeks inside have sprouted, and now they are an inch of dirt exposed.

At this rate, in about ten days, Qin Ze will be able to eat leeks. As for the other seeds, they are also starting to sprout, but they are not as good as leeks.

In order to ensure the temperature in the greenhouse, Qin Ze has never broken the charcoal fire these days. Fortunately, the effort has finally paid off, although it is only a sprout, but it is also a big beginning.

In addition to Qin Ze taking care of the greenhouse every day, Cheng Lao Demon is also extremely concerned about this. He is bent on following Qin Ze, but he has to try everything Qin Ze does.

The previous table and chair business is now formal, and even he has now begun to sell tables and chairs to those Hu businessmen.

Cheng Laoyou is a person who can share the benefits and disadvantages very clearly, so after making money in his own store, he not only sent all the materials promised to Qin Ze, but also divided Qin Ze's dry shares.

In addition to tables and chairs, Cheng Lao Demon is now also starting to make mahjong, and he is also extremely smart. Mahjong is deliberately sold along with special mahjong tables and chairs. In this way, with the popularity of mahjong. His table and chair business is also getting better and better.

A pair of mahjong is very profitable, but the profit of tables and chairs is huge.

And the most important thing is that no one has ever thought about this problem, because they don't need to buy mahjong tables and chairs at all.

So it's not that Cheng Laoyou doesn't know how to do business, this guy is just deliberately hiding it. Anyway, now that Qin Ze is his neighbor, even if others see what Cheng Lao Demon has done, they will immediately push the matter on Qin Ze.

And now Cheng Lao Demon saw that Qin Ze had come up with a greenhouse again, so he also asked Qin Ze to build one for him.

Cheng Lao Demon didn't care if it could grow now, he just stubbornly believed that everything Qin Ze did was beneficial.

Since it is to build a greenhouse for Chengfu, you can't be as casual as yourself. The bluestone slab was too bulky, and Qin Ze directly used white marble. Even carved exquisite patterns on it......

Qin Ze was always busy because he had too many things to do. It was only when this Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching that Qin Ze was free.

Since it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Ze naturally wanted to gather everyone together. The plain clothes in Jingyang County will definitely be taken over, and Wang Yuxi will also be invited over.

Steward Zhou prepared a carriage for Qin Ze, and put a burning stove in it, so that Erhu followed Qin Ze to the fiefdom of Jingyang County.

Wang Yuxi stays there most of the time now, after all, he has to deal with the matter of Shiyi in the near future. Especially because of the heavy snowfall recently, I heard that many farmers' granaries have begun to mold.

Grain mold is an extremely serious problem for farmers, and it is likely to mean that the year's harvest is wasted. It's not like no one has tried to eat moldy food before, but the result is very bad, and he died directly within a few days.

Of course, moldy grain cannot be eaten, everyone knows this. Even the poorest people will never try this thing again.

Sun Laoqi was unlucky this year, he was the head of the warehouse responsible for taking care of the granary in Jingyang County. Originally, in a place like this, theft would not have been possible.

The reason why he was asked to take care of it was because he was afraid that something would go wrong with the grain in this granary.

It's an extremely idle job, but the bad thing is that a few elm trees are planted behind this granary. Originally, there was nothing, but I never thought of it, and I don't know what happened, the roots of the elm tree stretched into the wall of the granary on one side. Just like that, a gap was opened in the wall.

The location of the gap was close to the root of the wall, and Sun Qi was also unaware of it. As a result, the snow water poured down the water, and by the time it was discovered, it was too late.

All the grain near the crack in the granary has sprouted, and some serious ones have begun to mold.

This year's winter was already relatively humid, and the weather has not been clear, so there is no way to do this grain once it becomes moldy.

This is the granary of the county, and now that the grain has sprouted, where can Sun Qi stand it. directly wanted to hang himself to apologize for his crimes, but fortunately, he was discovered by the mother-in-law who brought him food, so he was rescued.

When Qin Ze came to Jingyang County, he was watching Sun Qi's mother-in-law pull the sprouted grain out with a handful of snot and tears.

And Lu County's order was standing on the side, and every time Sun Laoqi's mother-in-law pushed out a cart of moldy grain, he would write it down with a note, and sigh again at the end.

If there is a problem with so much food, how can he afford it with his grandson Laoqi?

"Whether the host is willing to accept Sun Qi's wish task to solve the food problem, completing this task will reward two wish points."

Originally, Qin Ze didn't plan to pay attention to it, firstly, he was now going to sing red face to maintain the majesty of his marquis, and secondly, he also heard clearly that these seeds would be thrown away because they germinated.

The germinated seeds can't be eaten, and it's almost the same when used to make beer, but it's a pity that Qin Ze doesn't have this ability. But now that the system has mentioned it, Qin Ze naturally wants to take a look.

Lu Xian Ling was still counting the grain damage, and when he saw Qin Ze's carriage coming, he hurriedly went up to meet him.

Sun Laoqi on the other side was already sitting on the ground at this time, and when he saw the Hou Ye coming, his face immediately turned like ashes.

However, Sun Laoqi's mother-in-law was quite calm, put down the cart that pulled grain, and stood aside and kept pleading with Qin Ze.

Qin Ze still had a straight face, and directly bowed to his hand, letting Sun Laoqi's mother-in-law stand aside. And he was taken by Lu County Order to inspect the granary.

"There has been too much rain and snow this year, and the broken place of this granary is next to the ground. The snow water poured in, and I don't know how long it had been soaking, and by the time I found it, it was already too late. Lu Xian Ling held a torch and led Qin Ze into the granary.

The granaries are two feet high, and they are all made of yellow mud mixed with wheat straw. The biggest advantage of such a granary is that the walls are very thick. In this way, it can ensure the dryness of the inside, but I didn't expect this to be the case this time.

There are six such granaries in Jingyang County, and the taxes paid by each household are placed in them. In other words, the grain in this granary now belongs to his Jingyang Marquis Mansion.

The inside of the granary was extremely dim, and Qin Ze could see the situation inside clearly with the help of the torch. There were hundreds of sacks of grain in sacks of linen, and all of them were stacked together and were about to reach the roof of the warehouse.

The water-soaked grain is located in the southeast corner of the granary, and the grain bags there are basically all removed. All that remained on the ground were some grain bags that had not had time to be removed.

Qin Ze frowned and glanced at it, and then asked Lu Xianling, "But how much grain has been damaged?" ”

"Thirty-four bags in all, and that's just sprouted and moldy. Although the grain next to it is fine, once the grain is moldy, the grain next to it will naturally be affected. Now I'm just thinking about whether I can move out and be blown dry by the wind. Lu Xianling held the torch, reached out and touched the grain bag on the side, and sure enough, it was mildew ash on one hand.

Thirty-four bags, that's thirty-four stone grain. With such a large amount, where can Sun Laoqi's family make up it. Besides, Sun Laoqi is afraid that he can't afford the charge of dereliction of duty, otherwise he wouldn't think about hanging himself.

If it is according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Laoqi's head will not be saved. And if the food can't be replenished, I'm afraid the whole family will be confiscated.

Qin Ze also sighed, still thinking about how to solve these food problems, but suddenly found that the food scattered on the ground was somewhat familiar.

Grabbing the torch, Qin Ze squatted down to inspect it.

The grain scattered on the ground must have been scattered during the transportation. Indeed, as Lu Xianling said, it has sprouted. But Qin Ze didn't expect that this was a soybean, and wasn't it a bean sprout lying in his hand at this time?

"Lu County Order, all the soybeans are here?"

"Exactly. Now there is a new way of oil extraction in Chang'an City, which uses this soybean. So this year, Jingyang County also began planting, and the soybeans stored in this granary are 200 stones. Lu Xianling didn't understand why Qin Ze asked this, but he still replied 1510.

This made Qin Ze stunned, other grains sprouted and could not be eaten. But when the soybeans sprouted, they didn't turn into bean sprouts. Bean sprouts are a good thing, not only because they taste good. And strictly speaking, it is still a vegetable, and in today's cold weather, shouldn't vegetables be extremely expensive? There's no reason Lu County would be so worried.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze also grabbed a few bean sprouts, put them in front of Lu County Ling and asked, "Can Lu County Order recognize this?" ”

"It's... Isn't it just sprouted beans? Lu Xianling was obviously a little confused.

"Hasn't Lu Xianling heard of bean sprouts?" Qin Ze continued to ask, but his mind began to wonder when the bean sprouts appeared.

Lu Xianling hurriedly shook his head, this soybean was before the soybean oil came out. No one wants to grow it at all, because it can't be eaten by people except for feeding livestock. Since soybeans are not in contact with much, how can we talk about bean sprouts.

Qin Ze shook his head when he saw Lu Xianling, and continued to ask, "Then do you know if this bean sprout can be eaten?" ”

"Master Hou is not a pastime, this grain sprouts naturally can't be eaten, but if you eat it, you will die." Lu Xianling said this, and he also wailed in his heart. Thinking about it, isn't Hou Ye also a person who does not distinguish between grains and grains?

Hearing Lu Xianling's words, Qin Ze immediately held the bean sprouts and laughed.

I didn't expect to come to the fiefdom and encounter such a good thing. Before, Qin Ze was still worried that there were no vegetables to eat in winter, but he didn't want to find them now.

"Pull all these sprouted grains to Chang'an Houfu, and these grains will be used as taxes. As for Sun Laoqi, there is no need to take someone's life, just punish him with three months of hard labor. ”

As the Marquis of Jingyang, Qin Ze still has this right.
