Wei Tonghe, who had been paying attention to Xu Dingchen, immediately noticed Xu Dingchen's abnormality.

"Lord Xu, looking at your appearance, is there any good news in this letter?"

Xu Dingchen let out a long sigh, Rao Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed by the city government that had been up and down in the sea for many years, he handed the letter to Wei Tonghe with a smile and said: "Borrowing the auspicious words of Father-in-law Wei, there is finally good news!" ”

Seeing the letter handed over by Xu Dingchen, Wei Tonghe did not accept it. After playing scheming in Ouchi for more than 20 years, how could he not know that this was just Xu Dingchen's politeness. When people show you his personal letters, it is out of politeness to you, but if you really take them in a big way, it will only show your ignorance and arrogance.

Wei Tonghe waved his hand, "Lord Xu, we won't read this letter, or you tell our family what the good news is!" ”

"That's fine!" Seeing how Wei Tonghe was "sensible", Xu Dingchen also nodded secretly in his heart, this Wei Tonghe also seems to know the rules, unlike some eunuchs who have just left the capital, with their nostrils facing the sky, as if they belong to the biggest except for the emperor.

Clearing his throat, Xu Dingchen smiled and said: "This letter was written by one of the old man's staff, a few days ago he was ordered by the old man to go to the Yingzhou capital to raise salt tax, originally the old man didn't expect to raise much, but the matter was really unexpected by the old man, this Yue Zhenghong, he happily agreed to make up the remaining 100,000 taels of salt tax in one go, this is really out of the old man's surprise!" ”

"Oh...... Is there such a thing? Wei Tonghe's hand that was originally holding the teacup also stopped in mid-air, and there was an incredible look in his eyes: "That Yue Zhenghong is still a salt merchant?" ”

"Hahaha...... Grandpa Wei didn't expect it, right? Seeing Wei Tonghe's surprised expression. Xu Dingchen laughed; "This Yue Zhenghong is not only a talent who trains and leads soldiers, but also has a set of business skills. Half a year ago, this son got a large amount of refined salt out of nowhere. Not only is the production of zuò exquisite, but also the price is also very cheap, less than half a year to occupy most of the country from Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of the sea salt to squeeze out of the Shanxi market, it can be said that now most of the refined salt in Shanxi is provided by this. ”

"Hiss......" Wei Tonghe gasped, although he had not monopolized the creation of this word in recent years, but this did not prevent him from understanding this meaning, he could take over most of the salt business in a province, and he could imagine how much profit there was with his knees. Come to think of it. Wei Tonghe's originally dim eyes suddenly revealed a brilliance called greed.

Seeing Wei Tonghe's eyes, Xu Dingchen naturally knew what he was thinking, he frowned, as if he said casually: "Father-in-law Wei, although Yue Zhenghong has silver, after all, the days of operating salt are still short, and it is estimated that it is already his limit to be able to pay the salt tax with 100,000 taels of silver this time." As parents, we must also be considerate of our subordinates. You can't do anything like killing chickens and taking eggs, you say? ”

Listening to Xu Dingchen's words, Wei Tonghe was stunned, and then he snorted before saying: "That's, that's, how can our family not know about this kind of thing." ”

Although that being said. But Wei Tonghe had already secretly scolded Xu Dingchen in his heart, "This old guy, I don't know what benefits I received from that Yueyang behind my back, and I actually spoke for him like this." Hmph, it's not too late to deal with Yue Zhenghong after our family figures out the details of that Yue Zhenghong! ”

What Wei Tonghe didn't know was. He was right. Tang Xueying naturally didn't dare to hide in the letter that Yue Yangsai gave him 20,000 taels of silver. If nothing else, just look at the face of these 20,000 taels of silver, Xu Dingchen has to go back to protect Yueyang. After all, officialdom has its own rules of officialdom, what silver can be collected, what silver can not be collected, and if you accept other people's money, you have to speak for others, otherwise the reputation of only accepting money but not doing things has spread, and who else is willing to give you silver in the future?

I was unwilling, and my face naturally showed a hint of stupidity. Wei Tonghe couldn't help but say lukewarmly: "Since Yue Zhenghong is so well aware of righteousness, then our family will go to the court and ask the emperor to praise him." ”

What kind of person is Xu Dingchen, as soon as Wei Tonghe said this, he knew that this eunuch wanted to stumble on Yue Yang, and he couldn't help but be secretly annoyed in his heart: "This eunuch is so cautious, he wants to stumble when he sees that there is no benefit, he really deserves to be a villain who harms others and is not beneficial to himself!" ”

Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to this villain, but Xu Dingchen was worried that Wei Tonghe would really report Yueyang's "great achievements" to the imperial court and bring trouble to Yueyang, so in desperation, Xu Dingchen had no choice but to say: "Father-in-law Wei doesn't have to be so anxious, this letter also mentions that Yueyang will get married in a few days, why don't we go and have a good time, what do you think?" ”

"Oh? That's a great statement! Wei Tonghe's eyes couldn't help but light up, if he could take this opportunity to meet this rich man who could not only lead troops to fight but also be rich, it would be beneficial to himself and no harm!

"Then it's decided, let's go, how about we go with you tomorrow?"

Xu Dingchen stroked his beard and smiled: "With the appreciation of Father-in-law Wei, presumably Yue Zhenghong will be overjoyed!" ”

"Quack......" Wei Tonghe also laughed, but the sound was as ugly as a duck's call.

Looking at the triumphant Wei Tonghe, Xu Dingchen sighed in his heart, "Yue Zhenghong, that's all the old man can do for you, and the next thing is to depend on your creation......"

These things that were born hundreds of miles away Yue Yang is not an immortal, so he naturally doesn't know, and at this time he has a more important thing to be busy with, that is, inspecting those paddy fields under Yuejiazhuang.

Yue Yang led Hailou, Yue Laifu and several other officials in charge of Tuntian to walk slowly on the path in the field, and saw a row of weeping willows in the distance, and on one side of the weeping willows was a wheat wave that could not be seen at a glance, and the breeze blew these golden wheat waves swaying up and down like ocean waves, and the whole field was shrouded in a beautiful scene.

It stands to reason that according to the geographical environment of Shanxi, except for a few places, the rest of the places are not suitable for planting rice, after all, only places with sufficient water are suitable for planting. However, with the hundreds of wells drilled by the drilling rigs from the modern era and the river water brought from the Sanggan River, the water supply of more than 10,000 acres of paddy fields has been miraculously guaranteed.

At this time, Yue Laifu, who was standing in front of Yue Yang, looked at the endless golden wheat waves in front of him, and was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

"Young master, we have succeeded, and our rice will finally be harvested. Look at this ear of wheat, the plants are so dense, these wheat grains are so full, if the villain estimates it is good, the yield per mu should be at least more than 800 catties! Eight hundred pounds, the small one has never seen such a scene in his life! ”

Looking at Yue Laifu, who was so excited that he couldn't seem to be his own, Yue Yang just smiled slightly, the yield of modern hybrid rice is especially understandable to people in this era, if it were not for the lack of chemical fertilizers and modern management methods, the yield of these rice would never be less than 1,500 catties.

After thinking about it, Yue Yang said to Hailou, who was also excited standing on the side: "Hai Warden, according to your expectations, how much grain can we harvest this time?" ”

Since following Yue Yang, this guy who claims to be a descendant of Hai Rui has changed unexpectedly. The beard that was originally stubble was shaved cleanly, the kaftan on his body became neat, and the whole person became much more energetic.

Hailou thought for a while and said: "If you go back to your lordship, next month is the time for us to harvest, if the average production capacity per mu is 900 catties, our Yuejiazhuang has a total of more than 12,000 mu of fertile land, and can harvest about 10 million catties of rice, and our rent is five or five open, which means that we can harvest about five million catties." My lord, this year has been a good year! The more Hai Lou spoke, the more excited he became, and his whole face turned red with excitement.

"That's it!" Yue Yang calculated in his heart that if he could receive five million catties of rice, he would be able to get about seventy percent of the rice after being husked, so that he could harvest about three and a half million catties of rice, and these grains could be used for a lot of things.

At this time, not only Yue Yang, but even Hailou, Yue Laifu and the surrounding tenants became short of breath. Now in this year, even in the Jiangnan region, which is known as the land of fish and rice, the output of one mu of land is generally only about 400 catties, and the yield per mu in places like Shanxi is generally only about 300 catties, and now the output here in Yueyang has reached 900 catties.

At this time, Yue Laifu suddenly thought of a question: "Young Master, judging from this momentum, the news of our harvest cannot be hidden, this ten miles and eight towns must be a sensation, if someone comes to us to buy seeds, what should we do?" ”

"yes...... what if someone wants to buy our seeds?" The people around me thought about it as well.

Now everyone knows that the rice yield in Yuejiazhuang is so high, it must be related to the seeds brought by Yueyang, so the problem is strict, and it is estimated that people who come to ask for rice seeds will flock to it.

"My lord, what Steward Yue said is right, as the so-called puff is not guilty, if the news of our harvest spreads, everyone knows that you have a very high yield of rice seeds, I am afraid that there will be an endless stream of people who come to ask you for rice seeds, please dare to ask, will you give or not give at that time?" If they don't give it, they will definitely try their best to buy rice seeds from tenants, and then our high-yielding rice seeds will definitely be lost. ”

After hearing this question, Yue Yang smiled: "This problem has been thought about by the official for a long time, you don't have to worry, even if they steal our rice seeds, they won't be able to make any reputation, and they will have to come to the official obediently when the time comes!" ”

Speaking of this, Yue Yang's face showed an unusually confident look......
