Chapter 20 The New Year's Season

The yield per mu is 600 catties, which is more than twice the yield of wheat and rice. www.biquge.info How is Zhao Guangle not excited, although he was born in a big family, but he belongs to the side branch, and his family is not very wealthy, when he is busy with farming, he occasionally has to go to the field to help his father, so he knows what it means to produce 600 catties per mu.

"Brother Zhicheng, in ten days, this sea field can be harvested again!" Zhao Zheng was also very excited when he heard that the yield per mu was 600 catties, although it was only half of the yield per mu in later generations, but it was still of great significance to this era.

"What, can you harvest again?" Zhao Guangle was very shocked, if he could harvest it again, and the yield per mu would be more than 1,000 catties, it would really alarm the two governments.

"Well, not only that, but a sea field can be done five or six times. The yield per mu should be more than 2,000 catties. ”

The Xiang army and the prisoners below heard Zhao Zheng return like this, as if something was blocking their chests, although Zhao Zheng had mentioned this to them before, but they all thought that it was to make them contribute more and coax them, and at this time Zhao Zheng told the magistrate so solemnly, obviously it was not to coax them, China has been up and down for thousands of years, and the enthusiasm of the farming society for food comes from the bone marrow. Although they are sin bodies, they are incomparably clear about the meaning of seaweed.

Perhaps, children and grandchildren will not be affected by hunger and cold.

"God bless the Great Song, God bless the people." I don't know who in the crowd shouted this sentence, and then it was quickly imitated, and then it became a boiling trend.

The first to shout this slogan was a white-haired old man, and Zhao Zheng quickly noticed it.

――

"What? Twenty years. When Zhao Zheng heard Wang Dutou say that the old man had been exiled here for twenty years, he couldn't help but be shocked, he hadn't died after twenty years of exile, and seeing his ruddy face, I was afraid that he hadn't suffered much.

Wang Du was unspeakably hidden, but in his opinion, Zhao Zheng had received him hundreds of treasures before, so he also expected that Zhao Zheng would not do anything to him: "That person was a speech official when the emperor was alive, and he was exiled here by being recognized as Han Xianggong's henchman, but that person's family was rich and honored, and he was filial to a lot of officials in charge from all walks of life, and it is said that there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials who are still in the court, so they turned a blind eye and didn't let him do heavy work." This was already the case when the little one came, and I wasn't very clear about the straightness. The man must have given ...... to the adults as well."

Zhao Zheng frowned, Wang Dutou was corrupt in the past, he could not blame the past, how did he first arrive, and he didn't plan to mix with the officialdom, thinking that as long as Wang Dutou was willing to do things, it didn't matter if he was greedy, but he hated this kind of self-made cleverness and regarded him as a kind of person.

"Wang Dutou, those flowers should not be said, I shouldn't teach you!" After saying that, he walked away.

Sun He watched from a distance, Wang Dutou felt that there were eyes staring at him, and when he looked around, he saw the severe cold in Sun He's eyes, like falling into an ice cellar.

The next day, the head of the royal capital was demoted to the deputy head of the capital, and a small punishment was imposed.

――

In the first year of Shaoding, Zhao Zheng ushered in the first Chinese New Year's Eve in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zheng did not have any familiar people in Guangzhou, and Sun He did not marry, so the two decided to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together.

The temperature in Guangzhou in winter is also more than ten degrees, and you don't feel cold when you wear two single clothes.

When Zhao Zheng entered Sun He's mansion, it was already very lively, and the twenty military men that Sun He brought from Zaoyang also called Daofu for the New Year, all of them were in the army, and they were all familiar with each other, and they were all a group of bachelors, so there were a lot of topics to talk about.

Zhao Zheng watched Sun He and those soldiers banter with each other, and suddenly felt that the winter in Guangzhou was really warm.

At night, Zhao Zheng made an exception and drank wine with Sun He, the concentration of the wine was not high, but it still made Zhao Zheng a little dizzy, which caused Sun He and them to laugh.

Zhao Zheng also laughed, but at night, the drunkenness made it impossible to see his loneliness, and he missed Master Erlang a little. I also miss the uncle who provided him with education.

The firecrackers of the rich people outside the house crackled non-stop, and everyone in the house spent the first year of Shaoding with laughter and laughter.

And the soldiers and exiled prisoners outside the city have not died of starvation this year, there is only one merchant ship left outside the port, and the mass production of glass is far from coming, so Zhao Zheng returned another merchant ship to the Shi family.

The remaining one was reserved for fishing, and fifty percent of the harvest from fishing was handed over to the Panyu County Government as the wages for employing them, and the remaining thirty percent was counted in Zhao Zheng's name, and the last two percent were directly distributed to those Xiang soldiers and exiled prisoners.

――

The second day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is natural to pay New Year's greetings, especially in the officialdom, which is more troublesome. Zhao Zheng took a comfortable nap, and then went to the camp where the prisoners were exiled.

Zhao Zheng did not count himself as a person in the officialdom, and in fact, no one regarded him as a person in the officialdom. The dispatch given to him by the emperor was to let him manage the two acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes well, and the seaweed that Zhao Zheng made up was actually not a serious business.

But this is not a serious achievement, but the achievements made by Zhao Guangle Zhao Zhixian as a first-class merit, the significance of laver in the song Shuli and said that laver is curative of laver for big neck disease, and at the same time, a few catties of good laver were also selected to pay tribute, anyway, Panyu, a place that does not talk about, is worthy of a lot of special mention of the cause There are only a few, not to praise laver, what does Zhao Guangle take.

As for Shi Xianggong and Shi Songzhi, Zhao Zheng sent a few catties in his personal name, so as to promote seaweed.

Zhao Zheng came to the camp where the prisoners were exiled, only a few people were guarding, today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, most of them went home for the New Year, and the guards who stayed behind were naturally those who were squeezed in the army. Besides, life here is so good now, at least there is enough food to eat every day, and the ghosts will escape.

The soldiers guarding the door saw Zhao Zheng coming, and they all came around to say some festive words, this is from the heart, the little fairy in front of him, not to mention anything else, at least this kind of person, the merchant ship is his own, stunned to give half of the harvest to the government, his brothers also got a piece of the pie, and for the first time shared three hundred dollars, ten catties of dried fish, twenty catties of fresh fish, and two catties of seaweed. This year has been unprecedentedly moisturized.

Zhao Zheng saw the soldiers surrounding him, and motioned to the bears behind him to each give a red envelope, not much, each package of 12 wen, but this intention moved these soldiers. Some of the corners of their eyes were still a little moist, and this little fairy chief actually remembered them guarding the door.

Those exiled prisoners also said good fortune when they saw Zhao Zheng, since Zhao Zheng arrived, there has never been a starvation death among these prisoners, the camp has become clean, and the strange diseases of vomiting and diarrhea have never happened again, and the fish is eaten with an open stomach in the past few days of the New Year, and the supply is infinite. I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "The little fairy chief hasn't eaten yet, it's better to stay and eat together." ”

As soon as the words ended, the crowd was surprisingly quiet, and people searched for the source of the sound, and the person who spoke knew that he had said something wrong and kept silent. The little fairy has a body of ten thousand gold, how can he eat with these prisoners, how unlucky!

"Who? Stand up. You Xiong shouted.

At this time, a person in the crowd stood up tremblingly, a middle-aged man, at first glance, a timid farmer. Fell to his knees, and his voice was also crying: "The grass people are stupid, but they don't dare to have no conscience like this, cursing the little fairy chief, it's really impatient, the food has been so good in the past two days, the grass people seem to be dreaming, and they think they are at home, greeting guests, so they said that sentence without a head......

At this, the crowd laughed, and sporadically someone interceded for the man.

Zhao Zheng was dumbfounded and didn't speak until someone pleaded for mercy, and then he spit out two words: "Wow!" ”

The crowd suddenly fell silent, as if they had misheard.

"Restoration, I'm tired of preparing dishes and chopsticks for me, I'm just a little hungry, so I'll try the taste of fish soup." Zhao Zheng said warmly.

"Huh?" You Xiong came back to his senses at this time, "Speaking of the word tired, the little fairy has tormented me." Although he has been by Zhao Zheng's side for more than two months, You Xiong is really not used to Zhao Zheng saying things like tired, please, or thank you every time. He also wanted Zhao Zheng to mention this, but Zhao Zheng said every time that he was a monk, and he never took those worldly respects to heart.

You Xiong is also helpless, he deals with it carefully every time, although Zhao Zheng has this attitude, he can only say that he is a corporal of Lixian, and he can't be so ignorant. However, he didn't know that every time Zhao Zheng said these words to him, his waist became much tougher.

Those exiled prisoners also looked at Zhao Zheng with warm eyes at this time, and regretted why they didn't stand up at the beginning, You Xiong can now be regarded as Zhao Zheng's cronies, following Zhao Zheng day and night, and he has never done anything in the camp. According to Dahei, the blacksmith who helped Zhao Zheng in the camp, You Xiong even had his own independent room in the courtyard of the little immortal chief. Although You Xiong is still a guilty body, all the people in Guangzhou City will turn a blind eye, as long as You Xiong does not leave Guangzhou, it will be as if there has never been such a person as You Xiong in the camp.

The cook in the camp heard that Zhao Zheng wanted to eat fish soup, and said that he would make another one for Zhao Zheng himself, but Zhao Zheng only said that he could eat it in the same pot with everyone.

It's not that Zhao Zheng is putting on a show and buying people's hearts, but that he is really not used to letting people open a small stove for himself alone, so it will really become a show. The second is that I am not hungry in the first place, I have just come from the house to eat, and I just want to try how the food in the camp is.

The cook had no choice but to find a clean bowl and chopsticks for Zhao Zheng, wash and wash, and almost wipe the porcelain on it to feel clean, and then give Zhao Zheng fish soup.

Sure enough, after Zhao Zheng tasted two bites, he felt that the taste was indeed not very good, so he didn't drink it anymore, and smiled kindly: "Sure enough, it's not as delicious as my family." ”

The crowd echoed and laughed.

"Happy New Year everyone!" Zhao Zheng greeted the crowd and prepared to return home.

On the way, You Xiong still had some complaints about where Zhao Zheng was eating: "The little fairy chief doesn't have to do this, if he eats his body, the grass people will die." ”

Zhao Zheng laughed, not ready to explain, but said something completely irrelevant: "A few days ago, I wrote a letter to Shi Xianggong. Your edict of pardon will come down soon, and this is my New Year's gift to you, the Restoration. ”

You Xiong was stunned in place, and suddenly roared towards the sky: "The emperor's grace is mighty!" ”
