"I wonder what the harvest of one acre of millet is?"

Zhao Yunze thought about it for a long time and didn't find out the reason for the shock in his heart, so he temporarily suppressed the matter and asked about the harvest of the crops.

Zhao Shouyi said: "If the wind and rain are smooth, like Zhao Langjun's field, you can harvest eight or nine buckets of millet per mu." ”

For the unit of "bucket", Zhao Yunze still understands that a bucket of grain is probably 123 catties to 145 catties in later generations. Because of the different types of grain, there are differences in the specific number of catties of the "bucket".

The specific gravity of millet is small, one bucket is twelve or thirteen catties, so if it is calculated, one acre of land can also harvest about 100 catties of millet. This is a huge difference compared to the production of later generations.

Think about it again, a bucket is ten liters, the rent you collect is five liters per mu, and you only collect six or seven catties of millet per acre?

Listening to Zhao Shouyi, their land rent here is generally calculated according to six liters per mu, which is only seven or eight catties of millet, compared to the actual yield of about 100 catties per acre, not even one-tenth, this rent rate is very low, what about the unscrupulous landlords?

However, Zhao Shouyi's next sentence made Zhao Yunze relieved. Zhao Shouyi said: "But in these years, eight out of ten years have been either drought or flooding, plus locusts as a hindrance, and half of the harvest of one acre of land can have a good year." ”

Oh, so that's 20% rent, not much, but not very little.

Immediately, Zhao Yunze's heart shook wildly: What, floods and droughts, locusts as obstacles?

I think of it, next year, that is, the first year of Zhenguan, Hebei and Shandong, the spring and summer droughts, the Mid-Autumn flood in Guan, the fields in these three places are almost extinct; In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and the locust plague was all over the world, Li Shimin ignored the dissuasion of his ministers, personally ate locusts, and called on the people of the world to hunt locusts and reduce the disaster.

After that, Zhenguan for three years, Zhenguan for four years, and Zhenguan for five years...... It seems that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, China could not find a few years without a few natural disasters.

The reason why Zhao Yunze knew so clearly about the natural disasters of the Tang Dynasty was because in his later life, he once read an online novel, which said that there was a great drought in Guanzhong in the first year of Zhenguan, and some readers corrected it in the book review area and said that "Guanzhong in the first year of Zhenguan was not a great drought, but a great flood". For this reason, Zhao Yunze specially checked the historical information on the Internet, so as to ...... the Tang Dynasty In particular, he was very aware of natural disasters in the early years of Zhenguan.

It's over, won't I be able to collect a grain of rent from these lands next year? Thinking about it again, as a court official, he can make a living without relying on this rent, but on other income, but what about the common people?

Zhao Yunze may not have Fan Zhongyan's noble moral sentiment of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world", but he can watch the people in a place suffer from disasters and starve to death, and he will not be so indifferent. Besides, if you don't know what the disaster will happen in the future, if you know it, you can't just let it happen without thinking about it.

"Captain Zhao, what's wrong?" Tan Geng saw that Zhao Yunze's face was different, and hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yunze waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of a little miscellaneous matter and got distracted." ”

I haven't figured out a way to deal with the disaster yet, so it's better to say nothing than to worry others about it. Besides, that's something that will happen next year, and now I'm saying it myself, and it's up to others to believe it or not.

"Two Langjun, it's almost noon this day, why don't you go to the old man's house to have some food first?" Zhao Shouyi invited Tan Geng and Zhao Yunze at this time.

Zhao Yunze said: "The two of us won't disturb your old man's house, so I will go to Jingyang City with Lord Tan, where there is an old man who wants to go to his house." ”

"That old man had to be rude." Zhao Shouyi said.

"Everything is entrusted to your old man." Zhao Yunze arched his hand at Zhao Shouyi, then turned to Tan Geng and said, "Master Tan, let's go to Jingyang." ”

Tan Geng nodded, and several people went down the hillside and walked to a path in the field, where Liu Shanbao was waiting.

Separated from Zhao Shouyi, Zhao Yunze and Tan Geng took Liu Shanbao's carriage and went to Jingyang City.

Back in Jingyang City, Tan Geng and Zhao Yunze went to the county government to handle the handover documents for the field. After finishing his business, Tan Geng wanted to invite Zhao Yunze to dinner, but Zhao Yunze said that he still wanted to visit his friends, so he politely declined Tan Geng's invitation.

The old man Zhao Yunze said was Sun Simiao.

After the Jingyang War, Zhao Yunze has always remembered the hemostatic medicine that Sun Simiao researched, since he came to Jingyang City, he simply went to Sun Simiao to ask about the progress of this matter.

went to the street to buy some food, Zhao Yunze took Liu Shanbao's carriage and went to Sun Ling'er's house.

knocked on the door of Sun Linger's house, and after waiting for a while, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and Sun Linger's little head poked out.

"Zhao Langjun, why are you here?!" Seeing Zhao Yunze, Sun Linger was very surprised. But her expression was one of joy.

"Miss Ling'er, is your master at home?" Zhao Yunze asked with a smile.

"Here, Lang Jun, please." Sun Ling'er opened the door and let Zhao Yunze into the courtyard.

As soon as Zhao Yunze crossed the threshold, Sun Ling'er suddenly asked again: "Lang Jun just came to see my master?" ”

Zhao Yunze was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Sun Ling'er pouting and looking aggrieved. That little face is cute!

Zhao Yunze stretched out his hand and pinched Sun Ling'er's face, and said, "Of course, I also came to see Miss Ling'er." ”

Sun Ling'er was stunned by Zhao Yunze's sudden intimate action, and then her face turned red into an apple.

"Ahem! Cough! Zhao Yunze reacted, his old face couldn't hang up, and he hurriedly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and then walked quickly to the courtyard.

Liu Shanbao secretly smiled behind him and followed up the yard with his things.

Sun Simiao was in the courtyard, and he was inspecting some medicinal herbs that were drying in the yard. Seeing Zhao Yunze, he just glanced up, and then continued to busy himself.

"I heard that Your Majesty has appointed you as a big official, this person who has become a big official is different, as soon as he enters the door, he will tease the poor female apprentice." Sun Simiao didn't raise his head, and said in an unkind tone.

Zhao Yunze was even more embarrassed: "This ...... Miss Ling'er is so cute, the kid can't help it...... Hey. ”

Sun Ling'er happened to walk past Zhao Yunze at this time, and when she heard Zhao Yunze's words, she glanced at Zhao Yunze in shame, and immediately lowered her head and hid in the hall.

"Came to the poor road for the hemostatic medicine?" Sun Simiao suddenly asked Zhao Yunze as if nothing had happened, as if he had immediately forgotten about Zhao Yunze's "teasing" of Sun Ling'er.

"It's for that hemostatic medicine, I don't know how it's going?"

"Alas-" Sun Simiao sighed, and finally raised his head, "The prescription is accurate in the ratio of poor dao, but the kind of white medicinal powder you said, poor dao can't make it, so you can only grind all the medicinal materials and boil them into ointment." ”

When Zhao Yunze heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "It's not easy for the Taoist to find the right formula, and there is no need to find faults, just ointment." ”

"But Poor Dao is always unwilling, what your master can make, why is Poor Dao always one step behind."

Zhao Yunze was a little speechless, this Sun Simiao is really a scientific maniac, a prescription, and he has to be perfect to be willing.

At this moment, Liu Shanbao, who was following behind Zhao Yunze, suddenly interjected: "Hasn't the Taoist tried lime?" ”

"Lime?" Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Liu Shanbao with folded eyes: "Do you understand pharmacology?" ”

Liu Shanbao shook his head and said: "I'm a big car, where do I understand pharmacology." ”

"Then how did you know that lime can be used in medicine?" Sun Simiao asked again.

Liu Shanbao said: "Since I was a child, when I was injured, my father always grabbed a handful of lime and put it on me. When I heard the conversation between the Taoist chief and my family Langjun just now, I couldn't help it for a while, so I said lime. If I say the wrong thing, don't blame it. ”

"No, you're right." Sun Simiao said, "Lime does have the effect of external trauma to stop bleeding, remove itching from dampness, and grow muscle and flesh. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Simiao turned around and walked to a side room in the courtyard, leaving Zhao Yunze and Liu Shanbao in the courtyard.
