On September 16 of the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, in late January 141 BC, the summer heat had long passed, and it was the crisp and sunny weather of autumn. 《

The villagers in Nanzhuang harvested the soybeans in the field, announcing that the year's farming work was at an end, the old people in Lu moved out of the deck chairs to bask in the sun, and the women got up sleepily to see the sun and go back to sleep.

The squatting man squatted at the entrance of the village to measure the piles of soybean seedlings: "Elder Zheng, how is our soybean harvest in Nanzhuang this year?" ”

"It's also done, there are about two stones per acre, a crop of corn was planted in the spring, the soil is not stronger than at the beginning of the year, and there is not much improvement in making up a little thin fertilizer, and there is no guarantee for the next year's soil fertility."

"Yo, there are a lot of two stones! I walked a few Zhuangzi, generally only one stone seven or eight buckets, two stones have to be good fertile land, some of the thin soil after the summer will be abandoned and not planted, would rather lose half a year's soybeans than let the next year the soil be thin. ”

Zheng Lao twisted his beard and smiled: "Those little babies don't know how to handle crops, the amount of soil depends on the fertilization and cultivation of the land, too much fertilizer burns the seedlings, the fertilizer is less and the soil is boring, you can't grow food, you don't fertilize, it is not necessarily better to abandon the land for half a year, and soybeans are crops that can be used to maintain the land." ”

"Crops for land? What's that? ”

"The old man doesn't know, the prince came to Zhuangzi to see us that day, and he talked about it, it is said that it can fix something, in short, it is a good thing."

In the distance, a group of people came from the north, and Zheng Tong, the leader, was holding a wheelbarrow with two wooden barrels on it.

Behind him, hundreds of people were either pushing carts or carrying picks. I didn't go far before I asked, a rich aroma.

The wings of the husband's nose twitched slightly: "Hey, this fragrance seems to be the smell of soybean oil." ”

"Yes, soybean oil."

Zheng Tong strode over. The two wooden barrels on the trolley emitted a strong smell of oil, and when the lid of the barrel was opened, I saw that the brown and black oil was flowing slowly, and there was a little foam floating on it.

Zheng Lao looked at it for a while: "It's all here?" ”

"How can it! The last time Junhou demonstrated oil extraction to us, he said that the oil yield of soybeans is between 1o% and 12%, and the worse the planting, the lower the oil yield, the best is about 14% to 15%, and generally 11% is good. 1,000 catties of soybeans can produce 110 catties of soybean oil, and our family has collected 64o stone of soybeans in more than 3 hectares, and there are 32o stones after deducting the tax. Leave 2o stone to cook rice to eat, can press out 2ooo city pound soybean oil. ”

"So many?"

"Of course, we know the soybeans we grow home, and we never miss a lot of watering and fertilizing. Tomorrow, the pressed soybean oil will be sent to the Hou Mansion. Let Hu Jiajian transport it to Chang'an City and sell it. ”

The husband's envious saliva flowed: "My family also has 150 acres of fertile land, and the two boys in the family are busy for a year, and the grain is less than eighty percent of Nanzhuang all year round." ”

"Don't be envious, you Zhuangzi also has a waterwheel mill, go back and squeeze the soybean oil to Chang'an City to sell, the market price of a bucket of soybean oil is 22o Wen, and the market is in short supply."

"What do you say? A bucket of 22o text? Don't lie to me! ”

Zheng Tong patted his heart and said, "Brother, am I like a person who talks nonsense?" We sent it to the Hou Mansion to sell it in order to save trouble and worry, and we didn't have to go to the market to shout by ourselves. In addition, the price of one stone of soybeans is close to 2oo Wen, and one-tenth of the oil yield is sold for 22o Wen, which is really not expensive. ”

"Oops. That's thanks to the Zheng family brothers, if you hadn't woken up with a word, I wouldn't have known that there was such a good business, your Nanzhuang is the last Luli, and after collecting the tax, I will go back to urge my family to squeeze oil. ”

As soon as he heard that he could make money, he spoke energetically.

In this era, soybeans have always been used as a staple food, boiled and steamed soybean rice is an important supplement other than corn, because the yield of soybeans is low, the price is higher than corn, the demand for soybeans by ordinary people is not high, so the soybean trade in the market is also very little, ninety percent of the soybeans are left in the folk Lu as the main food.

Since the advent of the watermill, soybeans that can be used to extract oil have become the new favorite of the market, and the increasingly wealthy residents of Chang'an prefer to taste some meat and water, and the oil trading market has flourished.

Not far away, a four-** carriage stopped on the side of the road, and two middle-aged people in the carriage looked out the window.

The autumn breeze blows, and the smell of soybean oil wafts into the nostrils.

"I heard that there is a Pingzhun Cheng in Chang'an City."

"The last thing Shaofu did before leaving office was to ask Chang'an Fushang to discuss the leveling matter, and Sang Hongyang proposed a draft, and finally Shaofu made the final decision."

"Set the level in the capital of Chang'an, are subject to the world's commission, call the officials to govern the car, all rely on the big farmers, the big farmers of the officials to cage the world's goods, expensive is to sell, cheap to buy, so, the rich businessmen have nothing to make a big profit, then the opposite, and all things can not be soared, so suppress the world's things, the name is Pingzhan."

"Awesome! The old man didn't expect that there would be a leveling of this one, and the Great Agricultural Order and the Shaofu set up leveling warehouses respectively, and stored grain, oil, meat, eggs, salt, iron, coal, tea and other materials in different categories. ”

"But how do you save it?"

"Dig a deep pit to build a large warehouse and store the ice in it, take a few ice cubes in the cold winter and store them in it, and when the storage is filled with storage items, then put in the ice cubes to freeze it in the cold, it is said that it can be placed for several months The food does not rot, according to the account plate number to record the storage date, in and out of each warehouse must pass through three gates, and the thick felt wool in multiple layers is isolated, even if it is a dog day, the officials of the young government must change into thick clothes when they enter and exit."

"Oops! That's a lot of money! Shaofu can be described as a strange person in the world. ”

"This is not the biggest stroke, the ten major cities of Dahan will set up the same leveling warehouse, every month according to the storage date to gradually release frozen products, you can eat frozen fish during the fishing moratorium, you can eat summer vegetables and fruits, pears and peaches in winter, of course, the price is appropriately more expensive."

"Admire, admire! In other words, I definitely can't think of leveling things, not only can I sell expensive and buy cheaply to stabilize prices, but also enrich the winter dining table, Shaofu's talent is breathtaking, but it's a pity that he can't be Jiuqing. ”

"Heh, the old man doesn't think."

"How so? What's your news? ”

"Nope. I only feel that Shaofu's transfer to the general of the Che Cavalry will never be the end of a qiē, and with the talent and ability of the Marquis of Pingyang, he is by no means a person who is willing to be lonely. ”

"I hope so! At the beginning, he was also inspired by the general of the chariot cavalry. I only went to Huainan to study for two years, until I met Mr. Changru, and I have the person I am today. ”

"Praise falsely, don't talk about it, the front is the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, let's go in and meet the owner of this place."

At this time, the back garden of Pingyang Houfu.

Cao Shi was shirtless. Making complex aerial movements on the parallel bars, Liu Wan, the princess of Yangxin, sat on a soft chair and enjoyed her husband's gymnastics performance, whenever wonderful movements appeared. will be met with a round of applause.

I played on the parallel bars for half an hour, and when I jumped off, I was covered in sweat.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've played so much. Sure enough, being a noble and idle official is more suitable for me. I don't have to worry about the case, I don't have to get up early in the morning to rush to order, and I don't have to worry about the court meeting every five days, I'm so happy. ”

Liu Wan wrinkled her little nose and rolled her eyes: "No matter how you hear this gentleman, it has a sour taste!" Is it very unhappy to lose the position of Jiuqing? ”

"Not refreshing? How can it be! I'm not happy right now, okay? In addition to the 2ooo elite soldiers of the Yulin Cavalry, there are also 3ooo new troops belonging to my direct leadership, and the places of the eighth lieutenant of the Northern Army and the 8ooo heavy cavalry are also allocated to me. Now I, a Shangguan, play at home all day long, and I don't even dare to fart up and down. Do you think I'm happy? ”

"Cut, it's obviously duplicitous, which of the three dukes and nine kings of the Manchu Dynasty is still talking about you! His Majesty the Son of Heaven is apologizing for what happened to you, who would say that you are purely uncomfortable with yourself. ”

Cao Shi smiled: "This shows that your husband and son-in-law are very capable, and even the emperor's kid is reluctant to give up on me, if it weren't for your imperial grandmother forcing me to do nothing, my Shaofu position can't be moved." ”

Liu Wan stroked her flat lower abdomen and looked at her husband with affection.

He is the proud son of heaven, and she is a golden branch and jade leaf.

He is proud and conceited, and she has a blue heart.

He is ambitious, and she is full of affection.

He and she are destined to be husband and wife, and they gradually change from identity to real lovers.

And today, she is pregnant, and her flat lower abdomen is pregnant with the biological flesh and blood of this great man.

She wants to fight for this family and for the Pingyang Hou Mansion, which is her qiē.

"Don't be angry, gentleman, don't you just want you to be a chariot general? Didn't the Son of Heaven promise you the right to command the three armies in the future? As long as you have military power for a day, you are not afraid that anyone will dare to attack, the gentleman is not the lieutenant of the guard of the North and South Army, only you are the actual commander of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, cheer up and don't let others see jokes, okay? ”

Cao Shi stared at his wife stupidly, looking at the flat stomach and was speechless, the second person tasted the feeling of being a father for the first time, he was a little shaken and overwhelmed, but he understood that he had to do something, and he couldn't be angry forever.

"You're right, I'm the head of the family, and I'm the father of a child about to be born, I have to cheer up and fight for you and for our children!"

"Gentleman!"

"Xijun!"

Cao Shi leaned over and was immediately dared to open by his wife, Liu Wan covered her nose: "Oh, go away, go wash and come over to hug me, the smell of sweat is almost fainting people, and our children are also stunned." ”

"I'm going to freshen up and I'll be back soon." Cao Shi walked away like a gust of wind.

The maids covered their mouths and snickered, their own princes never took a stand in the Hou Mansion, they talked funny no big or small, and they were repeatedly reminded by their wives and did not change, until recently when their wives were pregnant, their lazy habits improved.

Wei Junru came over with a heavy heart, took the initiative to greet Liu Wan, and asked a few words when she saw that her expression was not very good, Wei Junru squeaked for a long time, and the more abnormal his expression became.

Liu Wan said: "Our sisters have been together for more than two years, what else can you say to me?" This is to treat me as an outsider. ”

"Sister, something happened to my family and I was a little overwhelmed, and I wanted to ask my sister to help me with a solution."

"Tell me about it."

"My second sister Wei Shao'er was divorced."

"Huh? How could he be suspended? ”

Wei Junru said with tacit tears: "The child is pregnant, can't serve her husband Huo Zhongru, that guy found a good night outside and didn't return, only stayed at home twice in half a month, the child was pregnant and was in a bad mood and quarreled with him a few words, as a result, Huo Zhongru was annoyed and scolded the child, the two quarreled inseparably, and at dawn the guy actually wrote a letter of resignation, and divorced the child in the name of immorality. ”

"How so? Isn't Huo Zhongru a very good person? How could it be ......"

"I also just found out, that guy has a good idea outside, he has invested a lot in that good body in the past few years, and I don't know how much ** soup he poured to blacken Huo Zhongru's heart, that night happened to catch up with the two of them quarreling, Huo Zhongru had already intended to divorce his wife, so he took this opportunity to divorce his children, poor my sister was driven out while pregnant, he didn't even want his own flesh and blood, and he was ready to marry that good woman, that bastard thing is really bad to die."

Liu Wan is also angry, she is pregnant herself, you must know that pregnant women are the most sensitive, and they are especially sympathetic when they meet people who are in the same condition.

"Don't worry about this, I'll tell the gentleman."

Cao Shi happened to have just finished taking a shower, and before he could say a word, he was crackled by two women on the phone, and scolded Huo Zhongru with a bloody head.

In the end, he complained that his husband didn't know anyone, let such a frivolous prodigal son be the son-in-law of the Wei family, and handed over Hou Guocheng to him to manage.

"Eh, this is my husband's fault, I thought Huo Zhongru was a very good person, but I didn't expect that in less than three years, he would show his tail and drive his pregnant wife out of the house, this bastard scourge can't be kept, I'll write to him to get rid of him, Hou Guocheng can't let this kind of scum sit."

Cao Shi pondered in his heart, as if Huo Zhongru was like that, Wei Shao'er, who was just in love, was deceived by his frivolous and amorous illusion, and only when he was pregnant with a child did he feel that Huo Zhongru was a bastard at all, and he didn't have the courage to take responsibility at all, so he had the matter of giving birth to an illegitimate child.

He turned this process over, always thinking that he had come forward to mention a few words, so that Huo Zhongru could have a better memory, but unfortunately he underestimated the true character of a slut, the nature of the country is easy to change, and the mud can't support the wall, Huo Zhongru is still the frivolous and prodigal little gangster, relying on a handsome face with a very good look, plus rhetoric to coax around, I don't know how many women I have been getting along with secretly.

This time in the east window, most of them are more fond of the little three who blow the pillow wind, so they made up their minds to kick away the original partner and marry the junior to live a happy life from now on, as for the brother-in-law is the Pingyang Hou that file matter, the prodigal who only knows how to deceive women will not think seriously, because a slut can never become a great man.

Removing Hou Guocheng from being a grassroots official in Hou Guo, and he will never be able to turn over if he is pressed in his own hands, what is enough to make this prodigal man miserable is to make him pay a painful price, so that he can know that the people who offend the Pingyang Hou Mansion will pay a huge price.

"The child came to Jingshi, and it just so happened that I had a suitable candidate for marriage, so that she would marry immediately when she arrived in Jingshi, and be angry with that frivolous prodigal."

Wei Junru's nervous hands were covered with sweat, and Liu Wan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Who is the candidate for the prince?" ”

"The former crown prince is more orderly, and now he is a trainer of Yulin Cavalry, and his rank is much higher than that of Qianshi Chenglu, his name is Zhao Junyu, and I have a good relationship with him."

Wei Junru asked, "Will he mind if the child is pregnant?" ”

"The child is the younger sister of the gentleman, that is, my sister, I personally protect the media for the children, that kid will definitely not mind." Cao Shi showed a faint smile: "The child in the child's belly is not an ordinary person, how can he mind, and he will thank me in the future." ”

"A gentleman will make us happy." Liu Wan glanced at her and smiled with satisfaction on her face. (To be continued!)

ps: Wei Shao'er's child is Huo Quai, Huo Zhongru and Xiaosan's child is Huo Guang, guess who Zhao Junyu's child is?
