Chapter 4 Scare the Second Brother
After two days, Pingyue outside the city.
"Little brother, these are the two pieces of land that are relatively close to my house, just two acres, what do you want to plant, just let Uncle Sun and them do it."
On the edge of a flat land, Chen Liqing, Chen Liqun, and Uncle Sun that Chen Liqun just said are standing here. Chen Liqun pointed to this piece of land that had been turned over and said to Chen Liqing. Looking at the little brother who was carefully looking at the two pieces of land, Chen Liqun had a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and he didn't know what this strange little brother needed two acres of land for. However, as an elder brother, he still fully supports it.
"Thank you, second brother, these two pieces of land should be enough for the time being." Retracting his satisfied gaze, Chen Liqing looked at the second brother with some gratitude in his eyes.
This is a loved one, and you support yourself without saying a word. The quality of the land is obviously very good.
"Thank you, the two brothers don't have to say these words." Chen Liqun immediately waved his hand, then paused, and couldn't help but say: "Little brother, I didn't ask you before, but now the second brother wants to ask you, what are you going to do with two pieces of land?" Two days ago, Chen Liqing waited for Chen Liqun and asked him to find two pieces of land, and Chen Liqun agreed without saying a word. Now that the land is also available, Chen Liqun really wants to know what this magical little brother is doing with two pieces of land.
"That's right, little master, what you want to do is left to us subordinates, you don't have to come here." An old man with dark skin next to him also came up and looked at Chen Liqing curiously.
In the Chen family, it is not news that the little young master planted auspicious rui, and now the little young master is actually going to make strange moves again, this time they don't dare to suspect the little young master casually. So what Chen Liqing wants to plant, Uncle Sun is also very curious.
The other two old farmers, Erde beside Chen Liqing, also immediately set their eyes on Chen Liqing.
"Hehe, I didn't want to plant anything, just some cabbage radish or something." With a casual smile and a stretch of his hand, the cabbage and radish seeds that had been prepared a long time ago were taken by Chen Liqing from Erde's hands.
"Growing cabbage? Turnip? ”
Looking at the seeds that Chen Liqing took out, Chen Liqun was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said suddenly: "Little brother, could it be that these seeds were also soaked out of those waters?" ”
"Yes." This time, Chen Liqing didn't hide it, and said directly: "Second brother, these seeds are configured by my experiments in the past two days, I don't know if they are good or not, so I need one or two pieces of land to try." ”
"This cabbage seed, if I calculate it well, should be harvested in a month, and each cabbage is about two or three catties."
"If this white radish is ripe, it will take about forty days to mature, and if it is harvested, it should be three to five catties per radish."
"In the case of carrots, it's probably like this."
Holding three kinds of seeds, Chen Liqing introduced.
It's still September, and the autumn is almost over, and the original radish was originally planted in May and June, and the two seasons were planted in July and August, but the seeds made by the super farm should have a strong resistance and growth surname, so Chen Liqing doesn't need to worry too much about the winter in two months for the time being.
"What, such a high yield?"
As soon as Chen Liqing's words fell, Chen Liqun was speechless with some shock.
Although he is a landlord and young master, he doesn't know much about radishes and cabbage, but he also knows that there are never such big cabbages and radishes with his common sense. Three or four catties of cabbage, one acre of land is not one or two thousand catties, radish may be more, twenty or thirty thousand catties.
There are 350,000 catties of grain in more than a month on two acres of land, what is this concept?
According to the amount of one pound of cabbage or one pound of radish that a person eats every meal, a person can eat five pounds of cabbage or radish a day. Then 50,000 catties of cabbage or radish are enough for 10,000 people to eat a day!
10,000 people eat a day, and there are only about 3,000 people in Pingyue County, which is enough for everyone in Pingyue County to eat for two or three days.
This is the yield of two acres of land, so what if ten acres and twenty acres......
Chen Liqun didn't dare to calculate, his head buzzed and looked at the seeds in Chen Liqing's hand, he had an unreal feeling, is this still his little brother?
"Little master, you, what did you say? These turnips and cabbages, really, really have such a good harvest? Compared with Chen Liqun's shock, the old farmers next to him didn't think so much. Uncle Sun and the other three peasants immediately set their eyes on Chen Liqing in disbelief.
It's not that they don't believe it, it's just that they have been farming all year round, and they know better that planting this cabbage and planting this radish is not really able to harvest so much as the little master said.
In the past, if you planted one acre, it would be good to be able to harvest one or two thousand catties, but if you harvest one or two thousand catties, it would be equivalent to a fantasy for them!
"This ......" Looking at the shocked people around him, Chen Liqing quietly touched the mobile phone on his chest, touching the mobile phone, Chen Liqing was sure in his heart, what the farm said should not be fake.
"There should be so many, even if there are not so many, it is not much worse, and if there is more, it should be that my potion is not equipped correctly, and it is estimated that it will be about the same if I try it a few more times. However, in the end, it depends on the effect of planting. Although he believed in the seeds exchanged by the super farm, Chen Liqing still subconsciously left a way back and did not say anything.
"That's right."
As soon as Chen Liqing said this, Chen Liqun breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right, whether it is successful or not, you will only know when you plant it."
"Okay, Uncle Sun, these seeds will be handed over to you to plant......"
"By the way, little brother, there should be no special requirements for planting these vegetables." When Chen Liqun arranged the work, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Chen Liqing.
"Precautions...... Chen Liqing looked at the surrounding land: "Then you may need to fertilize, but if this is the first season of planting, you shouldn't need to fertilize." ”
After a deep sigh, Chen Liqing shook his head: "You don't need to pay attention to anything for the time being, just plant as usual, but Uncle Sun, you have to plant a little sparse next, don't be too dense, otherwise the nutrition will not keep up." ”
"Well, young master, I know." Uncle Sun and the others nodded.
After arranging the matter, Chen Liqing and Chen Liqun watched Uncle Sun from the side, and Erde planted these seeds. Chen Liqing instructed the density by the way, and then looked at it and there was nothing to do, so he turned his head to look at Chen Liqun: "Second brother, let's go." ”
"Yes, yes." Chen Liqun was called, but on the contrary, he was a little uncomfortable, and after glancing at Uncle Sun and a few people with anxiety, he followed Chen Liqing.
"Second brother, I want to discuss something with you, I don't know ...... second brother" just followed Chen Liqing, Chen Liqun's heart didn't let go, Chen Liqing, who hadn't gone far just now, suddenly stopped, and words came.
"Discuss something......" Facing Chen Liqing's suddenly bright eyes, I don't know why, Chen Liqun has a feeling of looking at an adult.
"Let's talk about it, little brother, what do you want, as long as the second brother can do it, he will definitely meet the requirements of the little brother." After a moment of silence, Chen Liqun nodded and agreed.
"It's not something important...... Seeing that the second brother was so easy to speak, Chen Liqing turned his head and saw a relatively clean stone next to him, he walked over and sat down: "It's that I have some questions to ask the second brother for verification." ”
"If there is any problem, junior brother, just say it, as long as I know, I will tell my junior brother." Seeing that Chen Liqing was still a little serious, Chen Liqun also walked over and sat side by side with Chen Liqing on the big stone.
"Okay, since the second brother is like this, I won't hide it." Chen Liqing looked at Chen Liqun beside him, and felt a taste of blood connection, he knew that his relatives were trustworthy, so he said, "First question." ”
"Second brother, what time is it?"
"Uh......" Chen Liqun was stunned for a moment, he was ready to accept some strange questions, where did he think of Chen Liqing and asked this question: "It's noon, half past one at noon." Although he was puzzled, Chen Liqun quickly took out a pocket watch, glanced at it and said.
"This ......" glanced at Chen Liqun's pocket watch, Chen Liqing was a little speechless and said: "Second brother, I'm not asking about the current time, I'm trying to ask what year it is." ”
"Year, little brother, why are you asking this, it's the first year of Xuantong, and it's 1909 according to the foreigners' time, don't you know?" Chen Liqun was a little puzzled all of a sudden, and Chen Liqing asked this question strangely.
"Hehe, knowing is knowing." Chen Liqing smiled and nodded, and the small and thin side made Chen Liqun feel like he couldn't see through.
"Second brother, what do you think of Emperor Xuantong? What do you think of the Great Qing Kingdom? ”
Suddenly, when Chen Liqun was a little distracted, Chen Liqing's next two questions were a little difficult to answer.
"This, this, little brother, you ......" After a short period of distraction, Chen Liqun looked at Chen Liqing in surprise and said, "Why do you want to ask this question?" ”
The two questions have been upgraded to a philosophical level at once, this is a problem that Chen Liqun has not considered as an adult, and suddenly spit out from the mouth of a ten-year-old child, and the frightened Chen Liqun immediately subconsciously looked around, and saw that it was a barren mountain and a wild mountain, and he only relieved his mind after no one was around.
"Hehe, second brother, don't care what I'm asking this question for, I just want to hear my second brother's opinion." Chen Liqing's face didn't change much, as if he didn't know how serious his two problems were. Chen Liqun stared at his little brother for a few seconds, and when he saw Chen Liqing who was so calm, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
There was silence between the two brothers.
However, this silence was quickly broken by Chen Liqun, because he was actually looked at by his fifth brother, who was more than ten years younger than him, and his body was a little strange.
"Little brother, second brother no, I don't know how to answer you......"
Chen Liqun blushed a little, because he was actually asked by the fifth brother who was less than ten years old, of course, this is not to blame him, he is usually doing business, managing people, settling accounts and the like, where is there any time to think about such a problem that is far away from life.
"Don't know how to answer?" Chen Liqing changed his words: "Second brother, what do you think of the current emperor, I heard that Emperor Xuantong is a four-year-old child, not as old as me, the Qing Kingdom relies on him to govern, will it be ......?"
"Little brother, don't say it!"
As soon as Chen Liqing's words came out, Chen Liqun's frightened face changed a little as soon as he heard two sentences, and he quickly covered Chen Liqing's mouth, and hurriedly looked around, and after seeing that there was no one, he slowly let go of Chen Liqing's mouth: "Little brother, don't talk about this problem anymore, the emperor is not something we can say, if you let your father hear these words, he won't kill you." For fear that Chen Liqing would say something rebellious, Chen Liqun hurriedly solemnly admonished.
Although the actions of the Qing political axe in recent years have made those constitutionalists and revolutionaries look unhappy, and the political axes in various places do not buy it very much, in the eyes of ordinary gentry and landlords, especially in a remote and backward place like Guizhou, the imperial power is still supreme. Not to mention Chen Liqun, even Chen Mingren didn't dare to arrange the emperor and say bad things about the emperor in secret.
Although the current Emperor Xuantong is not very good, and his father, the regent Zaifeng, is not very good at governing, they are still supreme in the eyes of the ordinary gentry and small people.
"Well, sure enough, the lower class people are still quite afraid of the imperial power." Looking at the frightened eyes of the second brother, Chen Liqing nodded cautiously and said, "Well, okay, second brother, I won't say it." ”
"It's good not to say it, it's good not to say it." Chen Liqun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But-" It's just that Chen Liqun just breathed a sigh of relief, and the two words that came out of Chen Liqing's mouth made his heart hang again.
"But second brother, if we don't figure out this problem, our Chen family may encounter unprecedented challenges, and it is even possible that the family will be ruined."
Chen Liqun's body stiffened, turned his head to look at Chen Liqing, and saw the latter's extremely solemn eyes.
