Chapter 246: Cultivated Land
A new day. ↗,
Wang Xu has been in Anlan City for almost ten days, and Han calligraphy and painting have never been seen, and they are elusive; Every day is an early departure and a late return, which makes Wang Xu a little puzzled.
In the early morning, Han Shushu went out as usual again, Wang Xu took Zhang Meng to follow, as for Yu Linjun, neither of them brought any of them, they all traveled in casual clothes.
Han Shushu walked out of Anlan City and walked straight to the suburbs on the left.
"What are you doing, kid?" Zhang Meng whispered.
Wang Xu didn't know, so he could only follow Zhang Meng behind, and the two hid in the grass on the side of the road from time to time.
Han Shushu walked nearly two miles to the left of Anlan City, during which he turned a lot of bends, which has really come to the suburbs, although there is no mountain, but the ground is full of potholes, and it is extremely difficult to walk.
After a while, the destination arrived, Han Shushu walked into the distance, Wang Xu and Zhang Meng still hid in a bush.
Wang Xu raised his eyes and saw that there were farmers farming in the distance, the wasteland reclaimed was boundless, and there were countless at a glance, of course, there were also that kind of uneven small fields, which were about three acres of land.
At this time, many people are farming, some are planting seedlings, some are throwing seedlings, and some are leading buffaloes to plough the land.
Wang Xu looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Count, how many people are cultivating this area?" ”
Zhang Meng nodded and said, "About three thousand, it's too scattered to count." ”
Suddenly, Wang Xu saw Han Shushu walking towards a common man, and then took the ploughing tools in the hands of the common man and began to plow the field, but because he was very unfamiliar with it. This ploughing ploughed all the places where people had planted seedlings, causing a lot of scolding around them.
"Let's go, let's see." Wang Xu got up and strode forward.
The two came to the field of Han Shushu, and he also saw Wang Xu, and was shocked at first. immediately came over to greet him, but Wang Xu waved his hand to stop him, this time Wang Xu was on a private visit to Weifu and didn't want to reveal his identity.
When he got closer, Wang Xu saw clearly that the reason why Han Shushu came here should be for the woman who was throwing seedlings in the field, and after looking closely, she was really handsome and lovely. It's a beautiful embryo. Judging by his age, he should be around seventeen years old.
"Hehe, Mr. Calligraphy and Painting is really good Yaxing." Wang Xu rolled up his trousers and walked down the paddy field, and as soon as he entered the field, the coldness hit, making Wang Xu have to hiss.
Who is Han calligraphy and painting, he knew the meaning of Wang Xu's words as soon as he heard it; Wang Xu guessed well. He did come for this woman, and he had long taken a fancy to it. Feelings are being cultivated at the moment.
"Hehe, calligraphy and painting are mortals, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, which cannot be compared with the lord, and I hope the lord will be fulfilled."
This is about me, Wang Xu rolled his eyes.
"You go and fall in love. I'm here to help you plow the field, I've never ploughed before, but I'm going to give it a try today. Wang Xu said.
Han Shushu handed over the farm tools to Wang Xu, and then walked to the little woman on the side.
At this time, an old man walked over. looked at Wang Xu and said with a smile: "Is the son's pear over the field?" ”
Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, can I try?" ”
Wang Xu looked forward to it, and there was a novel look in his eyes.
It was his first time touching this thing, and his hands were a little itchy.
The old man was the woman's father, the son of an old man, and when he heard that King Wen was going to buy grain, he brought his family to plough the land, and they used to raise horses.
When the old man heard Wang Xu speak, his heart was put down, and he felt that the rich boy was in a panic and ran to the farmland to play time.
The old man's wrinkled face showed a smile, and he took the trouble to explain to Wang Xu before letting him plow the field.
As long as this rich boy doesn't make trouble, it's fine. The old man looked at the Korean calligraphy and painting on the side, that kid also came here a few days ago to learn how to plow, but he hasn't learned it yet.
In his eyes, Wang Xu and Na Han calligraphy and painting are the same, they are both idle rich sons.
Ploughing the field is not something that ordinary people can insist on, and the rich boy will leave after playing for a while.
Wang Xu smiled, picked up the farm tool and started working, but after a quarter of an hour, he couldn't continue.
"This farm work is really not done by people."
Wang Xu muttered a few words and asked, "Uncle, how much rice can you produce in this acre of land?" ”
The old man shook his head and sighed: "Eh, the land of Hexi cannot be compared with the Central Plains, one acre of land can only produce three denier rice to five denier rice, I spent all my net worth to buy these five acres of land, I hope there will be a good harvest this year." ”
Wang Xu walked up to the ridge, cleaned the mud from his feet, and then said: "Why is the yield in Hexi so low, is it because of the climate?" ”
The old man said: "The climate is too low, it is mainly the problem of the soil, so that the yield is not high, we used to sell horses, cattle and sheep to traders, and then get food from them. ”
After Wang Xu listened, he already knew in his heart, it seems that Hexi County is indeed not suitable for farming, if it is just a matter of climate, then you can also use modern greenhouse technology, but the soil has problems, even if there is a greenhouse, it is not good.
Called Han Calligraphy and Painting, several people left this place, and returned to Anlan City after a short time.
Han Shushu smiled and said, "Lord, I have already finished the little woman, and when I return to the royal city, I will send a special car to pick her up, the lord has no opinion, right?" ”
The muscles on Wang Xu's face twitched suddenly, and secretly said that the people in this place are all perverts, plus one loves the other, but Han Shushu doesn't have a wife yet, it's time to marry one.
Wang Xu smiled and said, "Okay, then I will congratulate you in advance, and I will give you five bottles of Wenwang Immortal Brew to celebrate." ”
Han Shushu was overjoyed, and made a long gesture: "Thank you, lord." ”
Wang Xu suddenly had a sad face: "This lack of food is always a problem, do you have a good plan?" ”
Han Shushu was also troubled by this matter, but he didn't think of a way, so he had to say: "Lord, if we can't farm, then we can only buy from other counties, and let General Zhao Long send people down the river to Beijun, Bao'an County, Dongjun and other places to see, maybe we can buy a lot of grain." ”
Wang Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, he also thought of this trick, but now that there are wars everywhere, and food is more expensive than gold, who wants to take out their own food.
Don't look at the rich places of Bao'an County and Dongjun, but most of the grain is in the hands of big families and officials, how can they sell it to Wang Xu, you must know that they hate themselves now.
Whether it is Guxi County or Hexi County, Wang Xu's attitude towards the family has always been unforgiving!
In this case, the family hated Wang Xu to the core, and wanted food, but there was no door; Li Yunhai was able to buy grain, it was also because he hid his identity, if he was under the banner of Wang Xu, I am afraid that he would not be able to buy a grain of grain, which Wang Xu knew very well in his heart, this was the price of offending the family.
