Chapter 657 Potato
After all, not every household has wells, and there is such an industry that picks up water and sells it for money, and now I am afraid that it will also be hit.
When Lord Shangguan heard this, he was worried about the people's livelihood, and he sighed: "We are all trivial matters, and we usually don't go over there much, and the farm of Young Master Zhou's family is also forbidden in the river?" He has a well, but how can other farmers live without a well? ”
Zhou Yu could only say: "Find someone to borrow it first, except for the necessary others, you should be able to spend a few days, and that little brother, since you are here, you can save my little girl another trip, you just want to bring a word to your adults, just say that we can evenly come out of 5,000 catties of rice, he wants to wait for the summer harvest to pass, and ask someone to lead the team to move it, and the price will be the lowest price in the market." ”
It's not that they can't give it for nothing, it's just that they all said that they would accept the money when they wanted to give it, after all, if they can help others in their own hands, it is better than being eaten by those corrupt officials.
Yuan Man was relieved to see that Zhou Yu had made up his mind, he was more careful than her, and he was more cautious than her, so it was right to listen to him, and she believed him.
When the official heard that something happened to happen, he could only nervously agree, and he was a little nervous when he was asked to talk to the adults, and he was still a newcomer after all.
So he hurried to reply if it was okay, and there were a bunch of trivial things to do behind.
Lord Shangguan didn't react when he saw him leaving, but just asked Zhou Yu, "Is this for the drought in the north?" Why is the grain harvested now? ”
Zhou Yu just replied: "It is not surprising that my family's grain is sold overseas in large quantities every year in addition to the grain tax that should be paid. ”
Although Lord Shangguan and others have lived in Yanjiang Town for a long time, he knows about the major events that have happened recently, after all, everyone has their own spies and sources.
It's just that this incident still made him frown.
Seeing this, Yuan Dashuo hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with this?" ”
Adjutant Hong had already spoken first: "I think I understand what the adults are thinking, in the past, the food of our entire Ping Kingdom was not enough to feed and clothe all the ordinary people, but in the past two years, we have basically done it, and we can even export it, and the grain tax has increased several times since the year before last, because the major farms have used our methods to plant and produce a large amount, not to mention the amount of the bumper harvest last year." ”
Lord Shangguan nodded when he heard this: "That's right, it stands to reason that even if some of the previous floods were used up, there is definitely a lot of grain reserves left, even if the north loses the harvest this summer, but the grain taxes in the south will supply the north and there will still be rich..."
After all, the north is vast and sparsely populated, and in fact, it can't consume too much food, so why is it so nervous to reserve food? And grain is no better than gold, silver and jewelry, grain has a shelf life, even if it is reserve grain, it has to be replaced with a new one every year.
The adjutant Wen was also surprised when he heard this: "My lord, don't you suspect that someone wants..."
He didn't dare to say the word rebellion, but anyone who was smart enough to guess it could have it.
Seeing this, Lord Shangguan asked Zhou Yu, "Did Lord Hua tell you to ask for food?" ”
Seeing this, Streamer hurriedly came out and saluted and replied respectfully: "No, it's not with my young master, but Lord Hua's personal guard who sent me a message, saying that he wanted to collect grain." ”62
Lord Shangguan was thoughtful when he heard this, and Yuan Dashuo and Yuan Xiu were all blindfolded.
Shi Ling understood and said categorically: "It won't be Lord Hua!" He usually behaves in the world, and I believe that several adults have some understanding, and he is indeed a good official who thinks about the people. ”
When Yuan Man heard this, he also supported his friend and said: "Indeed, since Lord Hua has been stationed in Yanjiang Town, he has done his best in everything, and the trial is fair and fair!" ”
Hua Chengen is still their friend, where can he be suspected of his father, rebellion is a big crime, and the nine clans have it, and they can't get rid of it.
Besides, Lord Hua is indeed quite just, and he is not biased but judges the case fairly.
Yuan Dashuo's heartbeat was half a beat slower when he saw the little girl open his mouth, for him, the matter has not been cleared up, and anyone has the possibility of being suspected, and his little girl jumped out directly and said that it is definitely not, so what if he hides deeply?
Fortunately, Lord Shangguan laughed again when he saw this, and comforted a few children: "Don't worry, I know what Lord Hua is like, you don't have to worry too much, but the matter of collecting grain can be big or small, you must know that food is an important thing, especially in the war, I am not worried about it for no reason, at the critical moment, everything is inevitable to be careful, I didn't say that Lord Hua is he." ”
After Lord Shangguan finished speaking, he said to Zhou Yu: "Even if you receive the grain in the farm, don't give it first, go back and wait for me to confirm it before coming out, even if we can trust it, then we have to ask who sent him the news that the imperial court wants to buy grain." ”
Zhou Yu naturally agreed, but he was also thinking about it, and then said: "In this case, this line can be figured out, and it is reasonable for Lord Shangguan to be cautious." ”
Adjutant Hong and Adjutant Wen hurriedly agreed, and said that Shangguan was careful.
Lord Shangguan only hurriedly waved his hand, saying that he was just worrying too much, but it was better to really want to collect grain, after all, this world is not stable, and it is not wrong to have more grain.
The group of them discussed this matter again, and Yuan Dashuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that his little girl usually had the right idea, and he was really worried that she had said the wrong thing when he occasionally spoke, but now he is safe when he sees that he is fine.
Later, Lord Shangguan pulled the two adjutants and Yuan Dashuo to talk about drought-tolerant crops, and it was said that this year's newly obtained rhizome-shaped seeds called potatoes are drought-tolerant crops, and they plan to try to plant one when the lockdown is lifted.
"This thing is a bit similar to sweet potatoes, it has a delicate taste when roasted, and it is not rough at all! It is said that it is from abroad, let's see if we can grow it! I heard that this acre can grow older, and I am not afraid of running out of grain when I turn back to the north! ”
As soon as these words came out, Adjutant Hong and Wen Fugui and Yuan Dashuo's spirit were shocked, and they all said that they could try it, and their immediate goal was to grow it!
Regardless of the way of the world, they have neither the force nor the ability to be nimble strategists, and all they can do is study the land and food.
I just hope that the big guys will not be hungry, that is, it can give them a sense of accomplishment.
Yuan Man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yu, the two of them only had a surprise in their eyes, Zhou Yu was the only one who had eaten potato chips, he had long known that there was such a thing, but he had also deliberately looked for it and never found it, after all, this side and Yuan Man's previous life did not match the region, so even if she could know where the potatoes came from into her previous life's country, she couldn't find that place here, after all, their navigation skills were limited.
I didn't expect it, it has to be Lord Shangguan's connections to get it.
