Chapter 451: Rhubarb and the Rabbit
Now it's not just Chen Zumo's family who has the idea of beating cottonseeds, countless pairs of eyes in Jixian County and even Dengzhou are staring at Qin Rizhan's warehouse, waiting for the arrangement of the imperial court.
There are also those with fast heads, who go to Xuzhou or Beijing and other places to purchase cotton seeds planted by florists, but when they go to them, they find that the cotton seeds that have been fried to sky-high prices have long been out of stock - because someone has copied a low price when the price is low, and bought the cottonseeds at a very low price!
I don't know which one is so discerning!
A few days later, in the morning, there was a room of people sitting in the hall in the front yard of the first village. Qin Rizhan, Qin Shi, and Xiao Nuan were on one side, and on the other side were the three officials sent by Wan Boyong, the prefect of Dengzhou, and Lou Xiaoqian, the prefect of Jixian County.
The atmosphere in the house was good, but no one talked about it.
In this way, you push me, you praise me, and I have to praise you even more, which really makes the Qin family unable to resist, she simply lowered her head and thought about entering Beijing in a few days, and left all the things in front of her to her daughter.
"What does Madam Qin think?" Qi Qing'an, the grain officer of Dengzhou, suddenly asked with a smile.
Seeing that everyone looked over, the Qin family, who didn't know what they were talking about, was not flustered, "The concubine doesn't know anything but farming, just discuss it with the owner." ”
Qin San looked at Xiao Nuan silently, and when he saw that she was silent, he knew that she didn't agree with what Qi Qing'an said just now, so he smiled and said, "The Holy Lord's will says that Qin and Mrs. Qin will help you grow 10,000 mu of cotton, and this 10,000 mu can't be done with only this bit of cotton seed in Qin's hand." ”
"This year's cotton fields produce more than 18,000 catties of cottonseeds, and according to the method of sowing about 8 catties of cottonseeds per mu of land this spring, only 2,300 mu of cotton can be planted, which is still a step away from 10,000 mu." Qin San was talking eloquently, but found that Green Butterfly squinted at him again. Qin San immediately reacted to the foul words of "boss", Qin Rizhan shouldn't have said it, he bowed his head in shame, it was really careless.
Qi Qing'an, who had a triangular face, raised his hand and touched his mustache, and said with a smile, "There are eight counties in Dengzhou, and if these cottonseeds are divided equally, each county is about 300 mu, which is okay." ”
Lou Xiaoqian nodded with him, but he scolded Qi Qingan in his heart! The cotton seeds are in their Ji County, why should they be evenly distributed to other counties so that they can benefit!
However, the three people present all had higher official positions than him, and he didn't dare to say this, but he didn't believe that the shrewd Qin Rizhan and Chen Xiaonuan would let this happen.
However, to his disappointment, Xiao Nuan didn't say a word, just stood behind the Qin family obediently and skillfully, as if he had changed someone. It's infuriating!
Lou Xiaoqian coughed, Xiao Nuan was still motionless, Qi Qingan turned his head to look at Lou Xiaoqian, and Lou Xiaoqian had to take a sip of tea apologetically.
Qi Qingan asked Qin Rizhan again, "What does Rizhan think?" ”
The girl didn't show it, and of course Qin San didn't dare to agree to anything, "Of course these are to listen to you, my lord." ”
Lou Xiaoqian's throat itched again, and he couldn't help coughing twice. Liu Qingan looked over, Lou Xiaoqian smiled apologetically, "It's on fire." ”
Liu Qingan nodded, the Qin family and Qin Rizhan who had no opinions made Qi Qingan unsure, and kept figuring out what they were thinking. It's not that you plan to ignore everything and rely on yourself if something happens in the future, right?
That's not going to work! Qi Qingan frowned, this matter has to be considered in the long run.
After Qi Qing'an left, only his own people were left in the house, and Qin San hurriedly asked, "Girl, what now?" ”
Xiao Nuan sneered, "They want to take advantage and don't plan to take responsibility, how can there be such a good thing." Lou Xiaoqian is also a shrewd person, he doesn't say anything, he expects her mother to come forward, and then he sits behind and enjoys it.
One by one, the abacus is really shrewd!
"There are still a few months to plant cotton in the spring of next year, let them calculate with each other, in short, it should be my part, and no one will want to take it!" Xiao Nuan leaned back comfortably in her chair. She had already made the best 1,000 catties of cottonseed out of it and store it properly, these must be hers, and at least 4,000 catties of the remaining cottonseed were hers.
How to stay?
Let's talk about it when I come back from Beijing, who is she afraid of at that time, why bother grinding with them now!
Seeing that the girl was so steady, Qin San was also down-to-earth, and stood up to say goodbye, "Mr. Chen asked Qin to go to tea, Qin went over, I don't know if the girl has something to order?" ”
Xiao Nuan shook her head, "You can do whatever you want." ”
Qin San grinned happily, "It's Layue, it's time to urge the account." ”
It's really silly, but the more you look at it, the more reassuring it becomes. Qin said with a smile, "Chen Zumo is very good at going around the bend, be careful that he wraps you in." ”
Qin San arched his hand, "Madame is reasonable. Girl, Qin took the green calyx with him? ”
Green Butterfly glanced at Qin San, who was unproductive, and took a step forward, "Girl, Green Butterfly is going to take a trip?" ”
The green calyx is the green butterfly in men's clothing, the green butterfly's brain is indeed better than Qin San's, Xiao Nuan nodded, now that Xiao Nuan has more masters around him, it doesn't hurt to let the green butterfly go out to do things.
When he returned to the study in the inner courtyard, Xiao Nuan called Xuan Er over and asked, "How are you inquiring?" ”
Xuan Yi nodded, "The four princes have sent people to Jixian County to get out of the prison Huang Youfan and the three people unconsciously, Lou Xiaoqian naturally didn't dare not agree, but when these three people were released, they were still discovered by Xuan Qi and put back into prison. ”
Xuanqi, this guy is getting worse and worse, Xiao Nuan pursed her lips and smiled, the purpose of the fourth prince Chai Yantan to send a master to follow her is really funny.
These four princes actually planned to marry her as a side concubine, so they first sent someone to find out her bottom to see what her relationship was with the Wu family and the third master.
I don't know if the third master knows this news, Xiao Nuan held his little head and smiled, "What about the other one?" ”
"I also inquired clearly. The Queen Mother has a big white cat with a tricky and eccentric temper; The queen raised a puppy and was bullied by the queen mother's big white cat every day; The eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine De, raised two talking starlings, and the starlings were also very likable to the saints; Ning Zhaorong, the biological mother of the fourth prince, raised a pair of spirit turtles...... "Xuaner Balabala introduced it.
"So much?" Xiao Nuan was surprised.
Xuan Yi smiled, "This is only raised by the concubines, there is a garden of ten thousand beasts in the royal garden of the saint, which raises rare birds and beasts such as white elephants, leopards, cranes, monkeys, and famous horses. ”
When the emperor is really capricious, he still has elephants and leopards in his own home! There are so many animals there, Xiao Nuan feels that the rhubarb is not dazzling, but she suddenly feels that something is wrong, and after thinking about it, she understands, "Does the third master's mother have something to raise?" ”
Xuan Yi paused before saying, "The third master's mother, Hua Jieyu, raised a white rabbit, and it is said that Hua Jieyu loves this white rabbit very much. ”
Rabbit? Xiao Nuan looked at the rhubarb next to him with his ears pricked up, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
