Deng Su didn't choose to follow Qian Heng because he was a traitor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Deng Su also knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for them to show the courage to confront Jin Liao with the current ministers of the DPRK and China.

Thinking of this, Deng Su not only sighed softly, but then stopped speaking.

After a dialogue, Qian Heng was even more optimistic about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, and with the appearance of Yang Zaixing, Qian Heng's heart for gaining fame also became a little lighter.

If you want to avoid being trampled by the Jin Iron Cavalry, the best way is to make the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty stronger.

But if you want to make the Song army strong, the difficulty can be imagined, the soldiers trained by Zong Zeshou in Dengzhou are now only slightly stronger than those Xiang army, and before they have experienced battlefield battles, they can only be said to have trained a little momentum.

However, Qian Heng just thought about giving up the idea of scientific research, even if it was just to have the identity of a scholar in the past few years, Qian Heng would try his best to do it.

Yang Zaixing only stayed in Dengzhou for three days, and many times, he was talking to Qian Heng alone.

Three days later, Yang Zaixing said goodbye to Wu Song, left Dengzhou, and boarded a ship from the sea.

As for where he went, no one knew except Wu Song.

Not long after Yang Zaixing left, Wu Song also left Dengzhou with a letter from Qian Heng and returned to Shouzhang County.

And Lu Zimo stayed.

When Lu Zimo came to Dengzhou, he brought several large boxes of books that Qian Heng used to prepare for the exam, including Li Ruoshui's notes and the books that Huang Sheng gave to Qian Heng.

From time to time, Deng Su and Chen Dong will occasionally help Qian Heng with some guidance on scientific research experience. After all, the two of them have a strong academic foundation, and they are both talents who have been in the examination room in Bianjing for a long time.

For a few months in a row, when Qian Heng had nothing to do, he would prepare for the exam in the room near the sea, read by candle at night, and there was Lu Zimo's red sleeves by his side, and he had a happy and moist good life.

Before you know it, it's September and autumn.

Zong Zele came to Qian Heng's residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted with a smile, "Hengyuan, come out quickly, there is good news to inform!" ”

Qian Heng sat on the high platform, handed the scroll in his hand to Lu Zimo, who was accompanying him, hehe Yile, "Boss, don't say any good news, I just learned that the DPRK and China have sent envoys to make Jin, and all prefectures and counties are preparing money and food for the expedition to Liao, and even Xiangtong Guan has already begun to prepare for the expedition to Liao!" ”

When Tong Guan was mentioned, Zong Ze was full of disdain.

"But a eunuch in the inner court, actually sitting in such a high position, is really the sorrow of my Great Song Dynasty!"

Zong Ze only snorted dissatisfied, and then said, "Not to mention the eunuch's matter, Hengyuan, the statistics of today's sorghum harvest have been submitted, do you know how many sorghum are in the warehouse?" ”

Qian Heng said with a smile, "Boss, this is studying the student's math homework, then I'll count it!" ”

Qian Heng had a smile on his face, just nodded his head a few times, and then said, "If the students are not miscalculated, this year's sorghum will have at least 300,000 quintals in the warehouse, what does the old man think?" ”

Zong Ze's mouth was open, and he said after a long time, "Hengyuan, how did you calculate that the sorghum actually put into storage this year is a little more than 310,000 quintals, including the output reported by ordinary people!" ”

Qian Heng smiled, "Don't forget, my lord, this year's sorghum seeds are still provided by the students, and after deducting the surplus I used up to make wine, I can calculate the approximate number of acres planted, and I can still calculate it clearly!" ”

Zong Ze was really convinced this time.

Nodding again and again, "Yes, this year, I mobilized the people to transform the barren beach with the Dengzhou army, and opened up nearly 100,000 acres of barren land, I didn't expect to be able to produce so much sorghum, Hengyuan is really my Dengzhou people's kindness!" ”

Qian Heng lived in Dengzhou, occasionally went to the surrounding area, and observed the growth of local sorghum, although he could not determine how much the yield per mu was, but the size of the sorghum ear and the planting density, Qian Heng could still distinguish the good from the bad.

If the plot is slightly better, the production capacity per mu is not a problem to three or five hundred catties, and even if the saline-alkali is heavier, there can be an output of two hundred catties. In this way, the yield per mu is about 300 catties, which can still be done.

A load of sorghum is only about 100 catties, and the sorghum grown in 100,000 acres of tidal flat land is almost about 300,000 quintals.

300,000 quintals of sorghum, if ordinary people save to eat, enough to eat for a year.

This means that the yield of sorghum alone could feed 300,000 people from starvation.

There are only more than 20,000 households and a population of more than 100,000 people in Dengzhou, and in addition to the successive years of famine, the actual population of Dengzhou today is only 70,000 or 80,000, and if you add military households and displaced people, there are only 100,000 people.

Among them, including those wealthy households who own a large amount of land, there are 40,000 or 50,000 people who can ensure food and clothing.

And the remaining tens of thousands of people, if they use sorghum as a ration, can use 40,000 or 50,000 quintals, which is already the maximum.

Because in the first year of reclamation of wasteland, the land rent and agricultural tax of the people who cultivated the land added up to less than 20%, that is to say, in addition to deducting the income from the rations left for the people, Zong Ze had at least more than 200,000 quintals of sorghum in the warehouse.

Just a simple calculation, Qian Heng could also understand why Zong Ze was so excited.

After realizing that Zong Ze had fully mastered 200,000 quintals of sorghum in his hands, the smile on Qian Heng's face became brighter and brighter.

"Master Zong, it seems that the sorghum seeds I invested this year can recover the cost!"

Zong Ze nodded, "Yes, in order to repay the generous gifts of Hengyuan and Mr. Yanshan, I have arranged for the sergeant to load 10,000 loads of sorghum into a truck and help you transport it back to Shouzhang, what do you think?" ”

Qian Heng didn't expect Zong Ze to move so fast.

However, if you can use 1,000 quintals of sorghum seeds in exchange for this 10,000 quintals of income, you can count it as earning.

can not only get the income of sorghum, but also win a good reputation, the smile on Qian Heng's face became brighter and brighter, "Thank you for being so generous, but Hengyuan wants to know, what is the boss going to do with the remaining sorghum?" ”

Zong Ze was stunned for a moment.

Zong Ze, who was originally in great spirits, instantly changed color on his face, "Hengyuan, don't fight those food ideas, I'll keep it for myself!" ”

There is no need for Zong Ze to say anything, Qian Heng also knows that most of the remaining nearly 200,000 quintals of sorghum, in addition to being used to relieve those displaced people, are regarded by Zong Ze as military food reserves.

Knowing Zong Ze's plan, Qian Hengcai was more and more confident that his plan would not be rejected.

Thinking of this, Qian Heng couldn't help laughing, "Boss, your abacus is too bad!" ”

Zong Ze was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Hengyuan mean by this?" ”

Qian Heng didn't explain directly, but waved his hand to the audience and beckoned, "Chen Dong, bring the things I prepared for the boss!" ”
