Chapter 41 Farming
Gu Yue once asked Li Shimin for a few pieces of land, as for what to plant, he has not yet thought about it, after all, there are not many varieties of crops in the Tang Dynasty, and the land is not fertile, and the fertilizer used for irrigation is mostly grass ash, river mud, the land is barren and pitiful, and the yield per mu is only dozens of catties of grain.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the population of Datang at this time is not large, and the land in many places is barren, and no one takes care of it at all. Idle land is not a solution, so Li Shimin sometimes rewards land to some ministers. When he arrived at Gu Yue, Li Shimin happily granted him a hundred hectares, and the second master also knew that Gu Yue was just a white ding, and it was impossible for everyone like Cheng Biting Jin and Changsun Wuji to hire hundreds of tenants to work for him, so the second master said that he would not ask you for taxes in the first two years, as long as he planted something from the land.
Gu Yue understands that if you want to grow ideal crops in this 100-hectare thin field, you must first feed the field with fertilizer, so what fertilizer should you use? Grass and wood ash, your own family is not enough, river mud, so many families waiting to dig it is not enough, "It's so embarrassing, Jin Kela, Jin Kela, one bag can be worth three bags." In this era, there is no chemical fertilizer, how to fix it? ”
How about fertilizer, fertilizer, farmhouse fertilizer? Gu Yue remembers that when she went to the countryside to experience life, she could always see dung heaps piled up in the fields one after another. At that time, I didn't understand that it was a mound of earth, and I asked the farmer's uncle about cow dung, horse manure, and his own excrement. At that time, I was disgusted when I heard this, I couldn't eat, and I was laughed at by my uncles for several days.
"Farmhouse manure? There are not a few night incense that are poured out in Chang'an City every day, if you put these things together, huh? That's a good idea. ”
Winter is coming soon, and it is not suitable to reclaim wasteland, but it is a good choice to store fertilizer first. Dig a few big pits in the wasteland, pour the night incense into it, and bury it, which is suitable for the spring of the next year. "But what are you going to do with this night incense?"
Ye Xianglang was hired by the yamen of the county and state capitals, and he was regarded as a staff member. As a nameless and penniless little person, how can he let Ye Xianglang work for him?
The yamen couldn't talk to anyone, Gu Yue was a little distressed, why don't you go to Cheng Yanjin and ask him to do him a favor? But is he willing to do such a thing? A national prince, the general will run errands for you to collect night incense, and you must not let people laugh to death. "Nima, how can any be linked to the imperial court?"
But it's not easy to do this thing if you don't find the yamen, forget it, let's find a way to find Cheng Guogong.
Early the next morning, Gu Yue ran to the gate of Chengfu on Suzaku Street again. But unfortunately, this Lao Cheng was not at home today, and went out to play chess in the second master's hometown, so Gu Yue had to wait honestly in the guest room.
was dozing off, when there was a sudden bang, and the door was vigorously pushed open, waking Gu Yue up from her sleep. Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the person who came, but he could only see his chest when he looked at it, so he had to look up, "Hey, this child is really well developed." "This man is not very old, much younger than himself, but he is strong and tall, and he must be two meters.
"You are Gu Yue?" The kid didn't speak politely at all.
Gu Yue couldn't figure out who this person was, Cheng Mansion didn't say that he knew everything, at least everyone knew him, and this person looked at him, and he didn't want to offend. "It's Gu Yue down there."
"Okay, you Gu Yue, it's all your fault, the old man is okay and he whispered to you in my ear, and he started beating me when he got angry. I'm messing with someone! I met you today just to clean you up! After the big man finished scolding, he started directly, grabbed Gu Yue's clothes with a big slap, and immediately picked it up and threw it out of the door.
Gu Yue reacted quickly enough, and was ready when the big man made his move, and when he landed, he took a breath and landed lightly, and he was not hurt. However, in order to pretend, he still took a few steps backwards and lay on the ground, oops.
The big man didn't leave the door, broke the window and burst out. But when he saw Gu Yue lying on the ground crying bitterly, he also panicked, he knew that this person was valued by his father and the emperor, and if he was really injured, he would be in trouble. The big man hurriedly ran over to help Gu Yue up, but a big foot reached out in front of him and was imprinted on the door in front of him.
"You son of a scumbag, you will cause trouble for Lao Tzu!" Cheng Biting Jin took another slap and slapped the big man. Gu Yue, who was lying on the ground, screamed even more bitterly when she saw Cheng Biting Jin coming back.
He didn't continue to smoke the big man, but waved his hand to let him go back and think about it. "Alright, it's over." Cheng Yanjin patted Gu Yue's face and looked at him with disdain, this kid can't pretend, so he will deceive that stupid boy.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Guogong?" Gu Yue didn't cry out about the pain anymore, patted the soil on her body and stood up, "It's just right, I'm looking for you for something." ”
"Okay, you kid, your kung fu is good. That kid is not small, you don't even have a? "Cheng Yanjin's decades of experience are not in vain, he can tell at a glance if Gu Yue is okay. It seems that what the second master said is right, this Gu Yue has some means.
"Silence? Could it be that he is the eldest son of the Lord of the Kingdom? Gu Yue was a little surprised that this stupid boy was the famous General Mingwei, and he would inherit his father's title in the future.
"Yes, this kid's martial arts are not decent, but it makes Gu Xiaoge laugh."
Gu Yue didn't come to chat, so he went straight to the topic after taking his seat. After talking to Cheng Yanjin, his old face turned dark, and he was uncomfortable, he was embarrassed to do such a thing as collecting night incense, and he was even more embarrassed to say that even if he let his subordinates do it, it would be pasted with the face of the Guogong.
"Brother Gu, this is a little difficult to do." Cheng Yanjin held the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but the taste in his mouth was not right, "It's okay if it's something else, but this night is fragrant... Let me put Lu Guogong's face somewhere. Angry, he slammed his teacup on the table.
"This winery, that profit, and new wine, tsk." Since you can't say it's moving, let's use the money to smash it, anyway, I've made a lot of money selling wine in the past few months, and neither I nor Li Lailai are really greedy for money, so it's enough to use.
"Oh? What's the matter, what good ideas did Gu Xiaoge think of to make money? Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, and he knew that Gu Yue had a lot of ways to make money.
Gu Yue smiled bitterly, "No, how about just distributing the profits of the wine shop to Lord Guogong again?" ”
"Brother Gu is willing to do it?" Cheng Yanjin said in surprise, although it is a percent, it is also a lot of silver, which is enough for the expenses of the entire Cheng Mansion compound for several months.
"Isn't that how money is used?" Gu Yue didn't care.
