Chapter 058: Rumors Spread (2)

"What's the big deal?"

Wang Jinyu saw that Wang Qifang said solemnly, and slowly suppressed his smile, he glanced at Li Jingtian, who was also puzzled, and asked puzzled.

"That's it...... By the way, it's all my own people here. Wang Qifang seemed to think of something, paused, and after seeing Wang Jinyu nodding even more blankly, she said, "Brother, cousin, I want to ask a question, are you familiar with the outside of the gate." ”

"Outside the gates? The outside of our Great Zhou Dynasty is either bitter cold or barbaric, and it is mostly a place of responsibility for the imperial court to exile prisoners, why did you think to ask this? ”

Wang Jinyu didn't think about it and blurted out.

Wang Qifang sighed slightly, "Brother, although you didn't mention the incident in the outer courtyard last time, I still remembered it in my heart." She can't do it if she doesn't take it to heart, several times she has found some strange brilliance in Tie Chu and Li Jingtian's eyes when they look at her.

Sure enough, as soon as 'that incident' was mentioned, Li Jingtian and Tie Chu both pricked up their ears and paid close attention to Wang Qifang's every word.

Wang Jinyu slapped Tie Chu whitely, twisted his eyebrows, and said to Wang Qifang, "Little sister, didn't I say it, you didn't hear that incident, you don't know anything." ”

"Brother," Wang Qifang knew that her brother didn't want to let herself get on the thief ship, but this kind of thing, being an ostrich can't be solved, she secretly thought about it many times, and felt that it was safe to face the problem squarely. Coughing lightly, she continued, "It's already happened, and it's impossible for me to pretend I don't know, and besides, even the iron guard and my cousin probably won't agree." ”

She didn't ignore the glint in Li Jingtian and Tie Chu's eyes.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll deal with it."

As he spoke, Wang Jinyu turned his head and glared at the two people named by Wang Qifang, threatening with vicious eyes.

"Hehe, what's that," was glared at by Wang Jinyu, Tie Chu scratched his hair unnaturally, and finally ruthlessly, a little bachelor said, "That's right, Second Young Grandma, you are a smart person, and you naturally know that the matter we have to do is very important, and we can't tolerate sloppiness." Of course, you are the sister of the second master, and we should believe you. It's just—"

"Tie Chu, what do you mean? Are you still going to 'keep your mouth shut' to my sister? ”

Wang Jinyu's face turned blue with anger, he stood up sharply, pointed at Tie Chu and scolded angrily.

"Brother, don't be angry," Wang Qifang saw that the eldest brother was on the verge of going berserk, and hurriedly dissuaded him, "I believe this is the true words of the iron guard." Brother, in fact, I can understand his approach and thoughts. That's why I've invited you all here this time to show my heart. ”

"Traces? What, Second Young Grandma, are you willing to help us? ”

As soon as he heard this, Tie Chu jumped up excitedly, took out a large bunch of keys from his arms, and said hurriedly: "Oh, the business of our Chivalrous League is finally saved, hehe, Grandma Er, this is the key to the accounts and warehouses of all the firms under our name, if Grandma Ershao agrees, the boss and I believe you." ”

"Keys?" Wang Qifang paused, she looked at someone who was elated a little blankly, and asked puzzledly, "Iron guard, why do you want to give me the keys to the account room and treasury of your chivalrous league, I am not the big shopkeeper."

"What? You, didn't you say you wanted to do us a favor. ”

Tie Chu saw that Wang Qifang didn't look like a fake, let alone teasing, and the smile on his face suddenly dissipated.

"Yes, I do want to help you, don't you want to grow a lot of food?" Wang Qifang was a little at a loss by Tie Chu's startle, she said in a daze, "I have developed a batch of high-yield special grain varieties, which are not only resistant to diseases, but also have a short growth cycle. How? Am I wrong? ”

"That's right, that's right," Li Jingtian, who had never spoken, heard Wang Qifang's words, a flash of secret joy flashed in his eyes, he turned around and asked eagerly, "Cousin, is this grain seed you are talking about wheat seed or rice seed?" How ripe is it in a year? How many stones can be produced per mu? ”

"Yes, the wheat seeds are ripe once a year, and the yield per mu can reach four stones. Rice seeds are harvested twice a year, and the yield per mu can reach five stones——"

When Wang Qifang talked about the yield per mu, she was worried that she would say it too high and scare everyone, so she deliberately reserved it.

"What? Five stones per mu? Oh my God, so high? ”

Rao is Wang Qifang deliberately said a lot lower, but it still startled the three people present.

It's not that they're making a fuss, it's just that the numbers are staggering. You must know that with the agricultural level of Dazhou, the average yield per mu of wheat is only one and a half stones, and even less rice, and one stone is a little zero.

But Wang Qifang said that she can provide grain with a yield of up to four or five stones per mu.

What does it mean for such a high yield of grain to be in the Great Week when agriculture is fundamental? What does it mean for their cause?

In Tie Chu's mind, it even flashed that the crowds of refugees were attracted by their mountains of food, and for a while, the soldiers under their command of the Chivalrous Alliance increased exponentially.

Not only Tie Chu was daydreaming, but even Li Jingtian, who had always been old, was also deeply shocked by this number.

The reason is very simple, the people take food as the sky, and this food, not to mention in the year of disaster or war, is also a very important material in the current year of good weather, and it is an important weight for those in power to ensure the stability of the rule.

You must know that the civilians of the Great Zhou are the easiest to satisfy, as long as they are well fed and warmly clothed, they will not rebel again. On the other hand, if there is a problem with the food and clothing of the people, the people's hearts will definitely fluctuate, and then there will be instigation by people with intentions, and the world of the Great Zhou will be chaotic.

"Well, the wheat planted in my Zhuangzi last year reached more than three stones when the autumn harvest was made," Wang Qifang nodded, using his own Zhuangzi as a cover, "I have improved the grain planting, and the minimum yield per mu can reach four stones, and if the soil quality is good, five or six stones will not be a problem." ”

Wang Qifang was not engaged in agriculture in his previous life, but he also heard that the yield of wheat per mu planted by the king of grain was as high as more than 780 kilograms, which was converted into stones, which was seven or eight stones; There is also a yield of 900 kilograms per mu of hybrid rice, which is much higher than the data she said.

Of course, the grain varieties in the previous life were all optimized, and pesticides and fertilizers were used, and there were many agricultural technologies, but none of these Great Zhou were available.

However, Wang Qifang is not worried, she does not have those high-tech agricultural technologies and high-quality grain seeds, but she has more magical space.

"Four stones or the lowest yield per mu?"

Li Jingtian was speechless, he stared at Wang Qifang in disbelief for a long time, and suddenly thought of what she just mentioned, "By the way, when you talk about the problem of soil quality, do you want to buy land for growing grain?" I don't know if you have a goal? ”

"Hehe, my cousin's words are to the point," Wang Qifang smiled slightly, "I invited you here this time to talk about the land." As far as I know, there is a large area of barren land outside the Northeast Pass, and if this land is reclaimed, it will be good and fertile land. Moreover, the grain is planted outside the customs, and the people of the imperial court will not pay attention to it. ”

"The Kanto region? It is a bitter cold land with poor mountains and bad waters, and those felons in the imperial court, who are second only to death row prisoners, will exile them to Kanto, where can there be fertile land? ”

Li Jingtian traveled south and north, and after a little thought, he knew what place Wang Qifang was talking about. It's just that he is not optimistic about that place, although there is a lot of land, but it is mostly wasteland, and the winter is still very cold, so it is not suitable for living there at all.

"Has my cousin ever been to Kanto?" Wang Qifang had not been to the Northeast in her previous life, but she had also studied history, at least she knew that the Northeast was vast, and the black soil was so fat that she could make oil.

Another point, if the eldest brother really wants to support Li Tang's restoration, they can first occupy the Kwantung region as a base area, which is rich in resources and is not valued by the imperial court.

Since Zhou Taizu destroyed the King of Bohai who supported Li Tang, a huge Kanto region has become a borderless land, and the imperial court is even more disgusted with the harsh natural conditions there, and does not even send any officials, directing the Kanto region to be in a state of anarchy.

If you occupy a large area of land there and establish Li Tang's regime, it will be much stronger and safer than going to the Guannai area to rebel.

"No," Li Jingtian shook his head, lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, "Okay, since my cousin said that there can be fertile land, there must be a reason for that." When my injuries healed, I went to Kanto myself. ”

"Well, I'll go too"

Tie Chu is Li Jingtian's follower and bodyguard, so naturally where the boss goes, where he goes. But before leaving, he still had to do something, "Second young grandmother, if we go to Guanwai, there will be no one to take care of the shop in Beijing, hehe, I have to bother you, by the way, help us take a look at the shop." ”

As he spoke, he held the bunch of keys in front of Wang Qifang with a shy face, and smiled extremely brightly.

……

Reluctantly accepting a series of responsibilities, Wang Qifang returned to the main room in a daze, just sat down, and before she could take a sip of tea, she saw Amethyst coming in from outside in a hurry.

"Second young grandmother, Zijuan is here, saying that there is something important to return to you."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Wang Qifang put down the teacup and said a little surprised. In other words, since they got the imperial pen inscription in the plum blossom theater today, plus there are new plays every month, the business has been booming, and there are retired women's soldiers outside the theater who are in charge of security, and people with a little brain and vision in the capital dare not come to provoke, she really can't think of anything, what else does Zijuan have to do with her?

Could it be that Zijuan and Su Zijian are having an awkward quarrel?

Wang Qifang thought of this, and suddenly smiled, it turned out that she also had such a gossip side. She raised her hand lightly and said, "Let her in." ”

"Second young grandmother, something is wrong," Zijuan hastily gave Wang Qifang a blessing gift, and then said anxiously, "Our old rival Peony Theater opposite the theater has rehearsed a new play——"

"New play? Isn't there a new play in our theater? Could it be that the Peony Theater has robbed all our guests? ”

"Back to the second young grandmother, no," Zijuan didn't know how to describe it, she was so anxious that her face was full of sweat, she paused slightly, and after sorting out her thoughts, she said: "The new drama of the Peony Opera House doesn't have much brilliance, it's just that the plot is still novel, after listening to it, many guests said that this is an allusion to the trivial matter of the inner house of a certain mansion in the capital, and some people speculate that the second young grandmother in the play who 'changed her son Jackie Chan' is you"

P: My relatives' comments, a certain Sa has seen it, and I will also refer to my opinions, and pull Xiao Qi out of the quagmire as soon as possible, hoping that you will support the abandoned woman more. Hehe, keep asking for comments, begging for subscriptions, begging for little pink
