May has arrived, and the winter wheat harvest season has arrived.

The climate in spring is not bad, there is almost no wind, which not only makes the growth of winter wheat good, but also the growth of maize and sweet potato are very good, which makes Zheng Xunrui very happy, when the winter wheat began to be harvested in various parts of Yansui, he also left the governor's yamen, and took Hong Xinyu and others to inspect below.

Seeing that all parts of the country are happily harvesting winter wheat, Zheng Xunrui is even more happy, such a year is too rare, for two consecutive years, there has been no large-scale famine in Yansui, and there has been no invasion of war, which must be able to make the people settle down quickly.

The intermittent inspection lasted until the beginning of June, and the harvest season of maize has also arrived, because the yield is not very high, so the area of maize that Zheng Xunrui requires to plant is not very large, a total of about 2,000 mu, but the area of sweet potatoes is different, more than 10,000 acres, the yield of sweet potatoes in Yansui is very high, and I don't know whether it is the climate or the soil, Zheng Xunrui will not explore these scientific and technological knowledge, and it has no effect at present.

Before the sweet potato harvest, Zheng Xunrui decided to go to all parts of Yulin border town to have a look, mainly to see how the situation of the military households was.

On the eighth day of June, Zheng Xunrui and his entourage came to Guide Fort.

Zheng Xunrui's inspections rarely troubled officers at all levels, and almost all of them were in the fields to see the situation.

Everyone was talking and laughing on the road, but Zheng Xunrui found that not far from the field, there was an old man with a dignified expression, this old man's hair and beard were all white, but his spirit was still good, the old man looked at the large fields, shook his head and sighed from time to time, all the winter wheat in these fields has been harvested, and most of the vegetables and fruits are planted now.

Zheng Xunrui went straight to the old man and dismounted.

"Old man, why are you sighing, is it because there is not enough food at home?"

After a long run, Zheng Xunrui's face has a lot of dust, his clothes are not so clean, and he really looks a little ordinary at a glance, plus the old man in front of him looks like he has been farming for a long time, Zheng Xunrui has no need to show his majesty.

The old man turned his head to look at Zheng Xunrui, still sighing.

"Hou Sheng, seeing that you are so young, you must not know about farming, this God is playing tricks on people, next year will not be good, I don't know how many people will starve to death."

Zheng Xunrui's body trembled slightly, what kind of person is this old man, how can he predict the weather next year, this is too strange, those people who can predict the future recorded in ancient historical materials, what when others are young, they predict that they will be able to be emperors in the future, etc., Zheng Xunrui doesn't believe it, if people are really magical to that point, why don't they predict their own fate, at least they can avoid disasters.

"Old man, how do you know that next year will not be good."

"I've been farming all my life, and I'm afraid that I'll encounter such a year, and when I'm already in my prime, it's the same situation, and as a result, there was a great drought that year, and I don't know how many people starved to death."

"How can you make such a judgment?"

The old man didn't even turn his head, and then spoke.

"Later life, do you know a few proverbs, there is no wind in spring, no rain in autumn, the east wind in summer is dry and the spring is dry, and the south wind is dry at the bottom of the well in June, these situations have appeared in the past year, and they have appeared again this year."

Zheng Xunrui really hadn't heard of these proverbs, and it was impossible for him to hear them, but he absolutely believed that the old man was telling the truth. Chongzhen was under the climatic conditions of the Xiaoice River, and the big drought was a very common thing, and in his impression, Yansui suffered many major droughts, by no means the second year of Chongzhen to the fourth year of Chongzhen, and the old man said that the year of Jiwei was the second year of Chongzhen, and the drought in Yansui was very severe that year, and there was no rain for a whole year.

The old man said about these situations, he has experience, Yansui spring, generally there are strong winds, but this year there is really no wind, he also thought that this is a good climate, as for the beginning of the summer, the east wind has indeed appeared several times, into June is not long, there are also two south winds.

Zheng Xunrui was thoughtful, and when he was about to get on the horse again, the old man spoke again.

"There is a bumper harvest of grain this year, but we can't waste it, otherwise we won't be able to live next year."

"Old man, you should tell everyone these words, ask all families to be prepared, don't waste food, I heard that this year's harvest is not bad, as long as you save some, there will be no big problem to survive next year."

"A year is not tight, but if it continues, it will be troublesome."

"Did the old man dig a pool, save more water, at least there will be no shortage of water for drinking."

"Housheng, thank you, I almost forgot about it, take advantage of the present, save some more water......"

As the old man spoke, he walked briskly forward, but did not look back.

Looking at the old man's back, Zheng Xunrui's expression fell.

Seeing that the old man had already walked away, Hong Xinyu and others came to Zheng Xunrui's side.

"Young master, this person is an old local military household, it is said that he has some skills, and he can predict a lot of things accurately, and many people nearby have found him to tell fortunes, and it is said that he is quite accurate."

"Hong Xinyu, this old man is not simple, what he said is well-founded, by no means a fortune teller, everyone's fate is basically grasped by themselves, as long as you work hard, there will always be some gains, if you don't do anything, I'm afraid don't think about any good future."

After saying these words, Zheng Xunrui quickly got on the horse.

"Don't look at it, quickly return to Yansui Town."

Governor Yamen, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He and others came to the wing.

"Yang He, there are still a few days to go, the sweet potatoes are about to be harvested, the sweet potatoes planted this time have 10,000 acres, and the harvest is expected to reach about 170,000 stones, the military camp should dig more cellars, store these sweet potatoes, and prepare for the coming year, in addition, order all the sergeants to continue to dig large pools and store as much water as possible, and the sergeants should also take advantage of this season to try to grow as many vegetables as possible, and these vegetables will be traded to the Mongolian tribes to obtain war horses and silver taels."

"Zheng Jinhong, inform the merchants in Yansui to purchase a large amount of grain, and the governor Yamen purchased it at a price of five taels of silver per stone of grain, and asked them to purchase 300,000 stone of grain, including 100,000 stone in Yan'an Prefecture, 50,000 stone in Qingyang Prefecture, and 150,000 stone in Yulin Border Town, which is about to enter the autumn harvest season, and I believe that they will be able to purchase so much grain soon."

"The transaction with the Mongolian tribes should also be speeded up, agree to their demands, and sell them 50,000 stone of grain, but the price cannot change in any way, it is still two taels of gold, and they are required to pay all the gold." ……

When Zheng Xunrui was still arranging, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He and the others' faces changed, 300,000 stone grain, 1.5 million taels of silver, it is not a trivial matter to take out so much silver, even if it is sold to the Mongolian tribe with 50,000 stone of grain, you can get 100,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to 1.2 million taels of silver, and the two are offset, Zheng Jiajun still has to take out 300,000 taels of silver.

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Zheng Jinhong spoke.

"Young master, such a large-scale purchase of grain, subordinates can lower some prices, it is the autumn harvest season, the price of grain is not so high, but so much grain, plus the winter wheat maize harvested this time, as well as the sweet potatoes that are about to be purchased, the storage of grain in Yansui is more than one million stones, so much grain, storage is also a huge consumption."

Yang He didn't speak, but he and Zheng Jinhong had the same opinion, as long as there was enough food to eat, there was no need to save so much, and it was not a famine year.

"Just do what I say, and you'll know next year, if it's not for the fear of attracting the attention of all parties, I still want to save more food, and if I save this food, I will save my life, and then you will know."

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He and the others' faces changed again, the young master said this, making it clear that there may be a famine in the coming year, if this is really the case, then it is very important to save food, it can really save lives, but how does the young master know, you must know that the autumn harvest season has just begun, how can you expect the famine to come next year.

Zheng Jinhong and the others' faces changed, and Zheng Xunrui naturally noticed it.

"You should know more about the following situation, if you can observe carefully, many things, from the subtle details, you can find a lot of mysteries, predict something that is about to happen, some people have a long-term vision, why they can see so far, it has something to do with their knowledge, and it is related to the attention to collecting all kinds of information on weekdays, it is precisely because of these careful collections that you can discover many things."

Seeing that Zheng Jinhong and the others were a little dazed, Zheng Xunrui didn't plan to explain too much, thinking about himself, if it weren't for the prerequisites for crossing, it would be difficult to notice these details.

After Zheng Jinhong, Yang He and others went to prepare, Zheng Xunrui arranged for the officials of the governor's yamen to immediately send urgent documents to the Anqing Mansion of Yan'an Prefecture and the Yulin General Military Mansion, requiring all localities to store rainwater and grain as much as possible.

Tong guò a lot of things, he has understood a truth, that is, a lot of things, you don't need to make a lot of explanations, as long as the decision you make is correct, let the family to implement it, people will believe you, worship you as a god, you must know that there are many such things in history, in order to be able to establish prestige, and even artificially created gods, the purpose is to let some people be able to ascend the throne, the story of Han Gaozu beheading the white snake, after a few hundred years, people are seen as wild history and jokes, but in that era, it's no joke.
