"Young Master, are you here?"

Seeing Yan Su and Yan Yi who suddenly appeared, Zhong Ling stood up.

"Yes." Yan Su nodded, and then stuffed the fried locust he had pinched into the ...... Yan Yi's mouth behind him.

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

Yan Yi's brows went from having to open his mouth to eat this thing at the beginning to calm down in the end, and even vaguely with a sense of joy.

"Master, it's delicious."

"Really?" Yan Su picked up another one and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a while, and finally stuffed it into his mouth.

It tastes fragrant and crispy, and it tastes really good.

"If we had known that locusts could eat like this, we should have called on everyone to hunt them frantically when the locusts came.

Hearing Yan Su say this, Bai Jinli deeply felt that what he said was very reasonable.

I can't help but regret a little that I didn't mobilize everyone to catch some locusts and come back.

Now those locusts don't know where they flew, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't catch them.

"The idea is really good, but the locusts appear very strangely, and they stay for a short time, people are afraid when they see them, where do they react to catch them?" Bai Jinli calmed down and began to analyze.

"What the white girl said makes a lot of sense." Yan Su nodded.

"However, if we tell everyone that locusts are edible, in case the next locust plague comes, will everyone be able to do something?" As soon as Bai Jinli finished saying this, she thought of another question and continued to speak.

"That doesn't seem realistic. The best way to fry locusts is to fry them, like the people in our village, they eat boiled vegetables on weekdays, and they are reluctant to eat even oil, so where can they fry locusts? ”

After speaking, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Is that so?" Yan Su was a little surprised when he heard someone say this for the first time.

"Yes. Originally, the grain tax was heavy, and the yield in the fields was not high, and the people in the village worked diligently for a whole year every year, and in the end, there was not much grain left after paying the grain tax.

Take out a part of the luck and sell it for two, that is the cost of the whole family for a year, and the rest of the food can be eaten for two months, which is already very good. Bai Jinli thought about the previous situation at home and said truthfully.

"Then the white girl thinks there is a solution to this kind of problem?"

After listening to Bai Jinli's words, Yan Su already had a lot of plans and ideas in his heart, but he still asked casually.

"How? Of course, there is. First, find a way to reduce the taxes of the people, and second, find a way to increase the yield of crops in the field. In addition, it is even better to be able to selectively grow according to the local soil. ”

After Bai Jinli heard this question, she directly said the thoughts in her mind.

"Well, the white girl is really knowledgeable, and what she said is very reasonable. What do you mean by selective cultivation? ”

"Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei. Different places are suitable for growing different things, and it doesn't have to be crops to be grown.

If the geology is suitable and there is a way to improve crops, then it is naturally the best, after all, the people live on food, and there is nothing wrong with this.

But if there is a place that is particularly suitable for growing fruits or other species, you can also try a variety of them.

Didn't we open a mutual market with our neighbors? I heard that some fruits are shipped back from other countries, and the price is very expensive, and only the rich and noble families can afford to eat them.

And it is difficult for ordinary people here to eat fruits, and even if there is, it is just ordinary apricots, peaches and strawberries.

Of course, these are also grown by everyone, and if you rely on them to buy them, you can't afford to buy them. ”

Bai Jinli began to diverge her thinking as she spoke, and told everything she could think of, as for whether it was useful or not, Yan Su had to listen to it and make her own judgment.

"White girl, what you said is really good, how do you know these things?" After listening to it, Yan Su felt quite shocked.

He once overheard a little bit of the idea when he was drinking with friends in the capital.

The friend's father is the secretary in charge of the household department in the capital, and the affairs of the territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and other matters are all their business.

Because of his father, many people rushed to slap him, and his father often showed him all the excerpts sent from below, so that he could make up his mind.

It was at that time that Yan Su heard something.

It's just that what I heard is a lot of exaggeration compared to what Bai Jinli said, and it is a little similar, but it is not as true as she said at all.

After listening to it, he also felt that some places were indeed good, but if he wanted to carry out this matter, he was afraid that it would not be easy.

Today's court has a group of young new courtiers who are open-minded and always make suggestions for reform.

And those old ministers are conservative in their thinking, and they feel that they must follow the rules handed down by their ancestors, and they can't change them at all, otherwise they will be disrespectful to their ancestors.

Ay...... Forget it, none of these things are for him to think about.

He only needed to sort out what Bai Jinli had heard today, and then write it down and send it to his father.

The rest of the matter is not something he needs to worry about.

His main purpose is to do business, investigate the people's situation here, suppress bandits, and find people by the way.

"Some of them were told by the old people in the village, some were read from books, and some were told by Lin Shenyuan."

If she said that, there should be nothing wrong with it.

"I see." Yan Su nodded.

"Isn't it? By the way, Yan Yi, how did you finally get the wall to respond to you? Bai Jinli was afraid that he would continue to ask, so she set her eyes on Yan Yi.

"............" Yan Yi.

Why don't you mention it? Too bad, really!

"What makes the wall respond? Yan Yi, what's going on? Hearing this, Zhong Ling suddenly surrounded Yan Yi with a gossip face.

"White girl, you came to me today to talk about the cooperation of pork jerky, right?" Soon, Yan Su got back to business.

"Well, that's right, I wonder what you're thinking?"

"White girl, I am a businessman, but whatever is beneficial to me, I will consider it carefully. I have to say, I am very impressed by your proposal. It's just that I still have a few questions......"

When he was talking about business, Yan Su really became a little serious.

Then the two of them talked about almost two teas, and after this conversation, the two still did not reach a consensus.

Yan Su's meaning is very simple, he thinks that this thing is feasible, and he can also buy shares, but in terms of locality, he suggests starting from a large provincial capital, and he can't look down on a single Qinglin County.

Bai Jinli just wants to try it out from the county first, and if the business is good, she will open more chain stores.

In addition to these, there are other small details that have not been worked out.

Bai Jinli is a stubborn person, once she decides something, she doesn't want it to change again, so even if the conditions given by Yan Su are very good, she still chooses to refuse.

The fact that this business has not been negotiated for the time being does not affect their relationship, after all, there is no deal that can be negotiated in this book, which both people understand.

After asking about the book and the child who was sold, Bai Jinli offered her farewell.

Her Journey to the West script is being printed urgently, and it must be available in less than half a month, and then you will know what the market is.

As for the abducted child, Yan Su said that the people he sent out already had some clues and were following the vine, and presumably there would be news in the near future.

Out of the Zhongling Embroidery Workshop, Bai Jinli politely rejected Yan Su's proposal to invite to dinner, walked around the county by herself, chose the address, and asked a few prices for the storefronts to be rented out.

I bought some things I needed, then sat in the teahouse for a while, listened to some gossip, and then packed up and went back.

Even if the business is not negotiated this time, she will still do what she has decided.

It's a big deal that she opens a smaller façade herself and tries it.

When Bai Jinli rushed back from the county, Lin Shenyuan was sitting in the house of his adoptive parents who had stayed in the town and talking to people.

The person sitting across from him was none other than Yong'an Hou, who had come to look for him.

Yong'an Hou is only thirty-seven or eighteen years old this year, and he looks a little blessed, but looking at his face and eyebrows, he must have been a handsome young man with a good demeanor when he was young.

And just at first glance, Yong'an Hou dared to say with certainty that the man sitting opposite him was his biological son.

It's too much like when he was younger, and there's no reason he shouldn't believe it's true.

As for the son Lin Ziang in the family, he didn't think he looked like him before, and the kid could talk and do things well, so he didn't think too much.

But since he inadvertently learned the news from the mouth of his subordinate, the whole person fell into a strange feeling.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the son in the family was not like him, and he didn't want his blood to flow outside, so he arranged for someone to come and find someone.

As a result, the people he sent out went back and told him that he was going to find the family of three who happened to meet bandits, and they were all killed.

Yong'an Hou didn't believe that there was such a coincidence, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he secretly thought of a way to come here to investigate without telling his family.

He originally thought that no matter what, he had to see the body of his legendary biological son and avenge him, right?

But to his surprise, he actually saw him!

He's not dead, he's alive and well, and it's really exciting to be able to sit across from him and talk to him.

"Your name is ...... Lin Shenyuan? Yong'an Hou stared at Lin Shenyuan for a long time before asking.

"Well, who are you? Something? Lin Shenyuan glanced at him indifferently, and his tone was calm and cold.

"Son, I have made you suffer, I am your father!" Yong'an Hou suddenly stood up when he said this, a little uncontrollable excitement.
