Chapter 296: Ice and Snow Villa
Lu Shiya went back to the Lu family to save her relatives, while Li Xiang returned to her home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as she met Miss Yuru, she naturally had a lot of words to say, and the little girl grabbed Li Xiang this time and didn't let go, Li Xiang had to promise her to stay a few more days before leaving.
Of course, Li Xiang did not forget to give some of the things rewarded by the emperor to the Wang family, of course, Miss Yuru also got a beautiful gift from Li Xiang, the little girl was happy, but she didn't know that Li Xiang already had a fiancΓ©e.
Early the next morning, the city of Lin'an is already full of traffic, the people in the city get up early, busy all night, have already prepared the next day's business, the street stalls and vendors have already gathered, the shops have also opened, a prosperous scene.
Li Xiang walked on the street alone, ready to see what changes had changed in Lin'an, speaking of which the things he invented can now be seen in Lin'an City, and it can be said that the changes in the entire Lin'an City are not small. This is all the credit of Li Xiang, of course, Li Xiang will not take it to heart.
When Li Xiang came to a grain store, he saw a little girl discussing the issue of wheat production with the shopkeeper, and he didn't know how they discussed it.
Li Xiang stood next to him and listened for a while before he realized that the little girl's name was Lingzhu, and she felt that the shopkeeper's yield per mu was wrong.
But the shopkeeper told her that the reason why wheat was sold at a high price was because the yield was too low, only six or seven hundred catties per mu.
When the little girl named Lingzhu heard this, she was still muttering, but looking at that look, she believed a little. At this moment, a rich and pleasant man's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Little girl, this shopkeeper is lying to you, no matter how you say it, wheat will yield 1,000 catties per mu." Lingzhu was taken aback when he heard this, and when he looked back, he was a tall and handsome man, about eighteen years old, burly, with a gentle smile on his face, looking at himself.
Lingzhu saw a tall and handsome young man looking at him with a smile, his face turned red, he lowered his head, and suddenly turned to the shopkeeper again, and shouted: "Look, this son has said it, you must have lied to me." β
The shopkeeper was anxious and angry, but he didn't know how to explain to Lingzhu, so he shouted at Li Xiang: "You, you son, look at your clothes, you must have never planted crops, how do you know the yield of this wheat?" We are a century-old store, and the goods we import are all approved by the Ministry of Households, and they are definitely first-class seeds. β
Li Xiang already regretted it in his heart at this time, the thousand catties he said should be the output in the future generations, but the current Song Dynasty must not have such an output. Because he said the wrong thing, Li Xiang was a little at a loss for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered something, so he said to the shopkeeper: "Actually, it is impossible to produce a thousand catties per mu in your opinion, but if you want me to plant, it is easy to achieve." It's just that I'm not interested in growing wheat at the moment, but the rice I grow can also reach 1,000 catties, but in the first year, I need to make some preparations, and in the second year, I can easily reach a rice yield of 1,000 catties per mu. β
The shopkeeper was taken aback, looked Li Xiang up and down, and suddenly smiled: "This son, if you can achieve a thousand catties of rice per mu, I will give you this shop." But if you can't reach 1,000 pounds, just give me ten years of white work in this store, how about it? β
Li Xiang smiled: "This is very good, you will be ready to transfer in two years, but seeing that you can manage it well, I can also ask you to be a buddy then." β
When the shopkeeper heard Li Xiang's words, he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, and suddenly thought of himself, why did he come so early in the morning to fight with this young man for such a trivial matter? Besides, this mu yield of 1,000 catties must not be reached, and the gambling contract is of course a joke, and after thinking about it, he was busy with the work in his hand again, and he didn't say a word.
Li Xiang also felt that he was a little excessive, and he didn't pursue it when he saw the shopkeeper, so he turned around and walked out, but he was thinking in his heart, the seeds I brought this time should be able to grow rice seeds, according to the modern output, it should be no problem to reach 1,000 catties, and it is obviously no problem to convert it into a weight unit of 1,000 catties in the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, the seeds are a little less.
Li Xiang thought about it in his heart, and suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Childe, please stay." Li Xiang turned around, but saw Lingzhu following behind.
"Lingzhu girl, are you calling me?"
Lingzhu was looked at by Li Xiang, and a little blush appeared on his face, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Childe just said that the production capacity of rice per mu has reached 1,000 catties, but is it true?" β
Li Xiang thought for a while and said, "It's true." It's just that I only have a small number of seeds, and I'm afraid it won't be effective in a year or two. β
Lingzhu said happily: "In this case, please ask Gongzi to meet my young lady with me, if she knows this news, she will be very happy." After speaking, he looked at Li Xiang expectantly.
Li Xiang thought to himself that there was nothing to do anyway, so he might as well follow and take a look, listening to the tone of this little girl, it seemed that her young lady was very interested in growing crops, and she just happened to know about the agricultural situation in the Song Dynasty. Just looking at Lingzhu's dress, she doesn't look like an ordinary maid, and I don't know who that young lady is.
Li Xiang followed Lingzhu, the road was quite long, Li Xiang also learned about what crops were available at that time, and saw that this little girl was cute, so he said some jokes from time to time to make Lingzhu laugh. The two walked out of the city for a few miles, and came to a large mansion, at this time the weather was still cold, most of the crops had not yet begun to be sown, but they saw that the ground outside the house had been leveled neatly, and there was a pile of manure not far away, and four big characters were written on the door of the house, "Ice and Snow Mountain Villa".
Li Xiang walked into the courtyard with Lingzhu, only to see a busy scene in the courtyard, men, women and children are busy outside, some of these people are dressed as family members, some are maids, and some are strong like nurses, and there are some officers and soldiers dressed as people, each doing different farm work, some are selecting seeds, some are sorting these seeds into bags, and some have the strength to push a cart of fertilizer to the backyard, these fertilizers have been dissolved at this time, and a smell of animal feces is permeating the air.
Li Xiang followed Lingzhu to the backyard, now this backyard is not small, the whole backyard can not see the rockery, pond, only one pavilion, not like a back garden at all, I saw that all of it is flat farmland, a group of people are busy in the field, a girl in a pink dress is standing in the field, talking non-stop, obviously directing these people to work.
At this time, a person dressed as an officer and soldier came over and said to the girl in pink: "Miss Shi, all the ground outside the door has been leveled, what should I do next?" The girl known as Miss Shi smiled when she heard this: "The eldest brothers are really godly, there is nothing to do in the morning, please rest first." β
As she was talking, Miss Shi had seen the spirit bead, so she walked over, glanced at Li Xiang behind the spirit bead again, flashed a trace of surprise, and said to the spirit bead: "Find another one?" Let him go and help Huber. (To be continued.) )
