Chapter 977: Sand Dates (1)
There was nothing to do all the way, and three days later, he arrived at Mao County safely.
Because of the large amount of grain and grass, Xiling Lan directly threw the token to the guards and asked him to go to the county guard of Mao County.
When the county guard saw that it was the token of the prince's mansion, where did he dare to slack off, not to mention that he had long known that the princess's fiefdom Suijun was adjacent to Maojun under his jurisdiction, and it was too late to tie the knot, where did he dare to make trouble.
It's just that the state has national laws, and the grain and grass in the national granary can't be easily used, especially when it is adjacent to the frontier, although there is a large granary, which is also full of grain, but it is the military grain, and no one dares to move it.
The county guard is in a dilemma, if you don't give food, it will be a slap in the face of the princess, but if you want to give it, if you use military rations, the princess will slap you in the face.
It's a death on both sides and left.
The county guard, who had been embarrassed for a long time, could only call the shopkeepers of the grain stores in Mao County, and looked at the list shown by Xiling Lan, how could he make it up, right?
Even if they can't make it up, they force the shopkeepers of those grain stores to transfer them from other places.
Because Xiling Lan needs a lot, in addition to leaving enough grain and grass for the county, it is really not enough for a while, and the trembling county guard thought that he would get a burst of reprimands when he came to report the news, but he didn't expect Xiling Lan to be very considerate and gave them time to mobilize.
The county guard of Maojun was moved, wiped his tears and snot, and went to urge those grain merchants.
On the list presented by Xiling Lan, there are not only rice noodles, but also coarse grains such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. Although these coarse grains do not taste as good as rice noodles, they may fill the stomach, and they are less picky about the soil quality, and the yield is also high.
Xiling Lan bought this, partly to store grain, and partly to transport it back so that Ruan Baochai could pick out the seeds first, and the seeds for next year's spring ploughing would be settled.
Because it has to be transported, it is estimated that it will take a few days, Xiling Lan looked at the list, Ruan Baochai specially noted that she wanted to buy a seed called sand date, according to her field test and exploration several times, found that the plant is suitable for planting in Suijun.
The vitality of the sand date is extremely tenacious, the growth is also rapid, its fruit and leaves are the best feed for sheep and other livestock, it is said that the sheep eat the sand date not only fat and strong, but also the reproductive ability can be strengthened. It is easy to form a forest, and in windy weather, it can also become a haven for sheep.
Jujube can not only prevent wind, fix sand and green, but also burn good charcoal, jujube powder can make wine, vinegar, and can also make soy sauce, jam, especially jujube flowers, because of the fragrant aroma, similar to osmanthus, so it is also called cinnamon willow, is a good nectar source plant. Flowers, fruits, branches, and leaves can be used as medicine to treat burns, bronchitis, and digestive disorders.
In fact, it is an excellent cash crop, but it is a pity that the people of Suijun County do not seem to pay much attention to this sand date, and they are sprinkled with two in the wild, and the wild grows wild, and it can't become any climate.
When Ruan Baochai was in Chizhao Kingdom, he once ate a kind of sand date, the fruit was sweet and crisp, and the taste was excellent. If Suijun can plant this kind of sand date and form a large-scale, the people of Suijun will not have to worry about it in the future.
Xiling Lan saw that Ruan Baochai was so respected, so he naturally took it to heart, and at this moment, he had to wait for the grain and grass to be transported, anyway, he had nothing to do, so he brought flower cakes, Xu Mengchen, Ruan Baochai and a few guards, and wanted to go around to see if there were any sales of this kind of good sand dates.
After going out of the inn to inquire, I heard that there was a farm in the southern suburbs of Mao County, and his family's sand dates were excellent, I don't know how they were planted, anyway, they were sweeter and crispier than others
