Chapter 124: Survey
"No, it's just that I slept a little late last night, I'm fine, brother don't worry." Ouyang Ningxin yawned as she spoke, she couldn't say that the prince forced her to take the initiative to do that, she felt ashamed to say it!
"It's okay!" Ouyang Yu replied with a serious face, and was relieved to hear that his sister was fine.
"Well, let's go!" Ouyang Ningxin didn't want to continue to be "cared for", so he took the initiative to set off.
Because Ouyang Ningxin and the others had already observed this aspect of business before, and Ouyang Hao and the others didn't move much in this regard, they went directly to the small village where the two went yesterday.
"Brother, take a look, how is this village?" Ouyang Ningxin pointed to a large area of farmland in front of him and said.
It was autumn and the farmers had almost finished their crops.
The climate here is different from the one on the other side of the border, where the weather is colder, and the climate on the other side of the border is hotter and there are more crops suitable for planting.
"Well, it's good, it's easier to get water, and the sun is more abundant, so it's not suitable to grow rice in this season, but it's a good time to grow potatoes and corn." Ouyang Hao carefully observed the surrounding terrain before speaking.
"By the way, second brother, how is your situation on the other side of the border?" Ouyang Ningxin suddenly became interested in what Ouyang Hao was doing at the border.
"At the moment, it seems to be good, I bought a piece of land over there, and now I have planted some corn and potatoes, which have just sprouted, but the rice can only be planted in the spring of next year, so the effect is not known yet." Ouyang Hao said.
On the border side, he mainly used it to build an experimental field, and wanted to grow better and more productive crop seeds, so he simply bought a piece of land there and hired some workers.
However, since it is not the season to plant rice, we will plant the others first, and then we will harvest the rice that we are planting in the spring of the next year.
This is also a good time to fertilize the land and prepare for the next spring planting of rice.
It was also because of this that Ouyang Hao could have time to come to Los Angeles at this moment to help them implement this plan together.
Ouyang Ningxin is also quite satisfied with this result, it seems that her brother has the talent to be a scientist, and he studies crops more than she knows as a modern person, I have to say that the IQ of ancient people is very high.
It's just that she doesn't understand one thing, that is, where did her brother get the money to buy such a large piece of land to plant.
She knew that the General's Mansion definitely didn't have so much money, because her father had always been honest and honest, and never accepted ill-gotten gains.
"How much does it cost to buy a piece of land?" Ouyang Ning sighed as if unintentionally.
"Huh."
Ouyang Hao shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Sister, I want to ask your brother where I got the money to buy land, why bother to make such a big turn!" β
is also very helpless about her ghosts and spirits, and only the prince can stand her troublesome temperament.
"Hehe, the second brother was guessed by you!" Ouyang Ningxin smiled awkwardly.
However, she is not worried that her brother will do something shady.
"It does cost a lot of money to buy land, and your brother really can't come up with so much money, thanks to my sister marrying a rich man!" Ouyang Hao said and glanced at Yu Lingmo.
Ouyang Ningxin followed his gaze, and sure enough, she guessed that it was someone's masterpiece.
"Hehe, the second brother is not the kind of person who takes short hands!" Ouyang Ningxin teased.
"What's this, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, do something and don't do anything, your brother is not used to do bad things, you girl, you are just ridiculing your brother!" Ouyang Hao generously admitted.
He was able to give up a lot of things for the sake of that experiment, and besides, there was nothing bad to admit.
Since ancient times, they have been officials who do not engage in business, and an honest and honest official is not wealthy.
"Brother, sister, I really admire you!" Ouyang admired Ouyang Hao from the bottom of his heart.
She knew that Ouyang Hao did all this just to let the people eat more and live better.
Ouyang Hao smiled and didn't speak.
But I felt very happy in my heart.
He does this, and having someone to support him is the biggest help to him.
Before this, Ouyang Hao was worried about this money, and one day, the prince suddenly talked to him.
Yu Lingmo guessed the purpose of his stay at the border, and also knew that he didn't have that much money to buy land.
On that day, he said: "For the sake of your brother-in-law, this king can buy this piece of land and give it to you, but this king has the condition, that is, the place that needs to use you in the future must be able to come in handy as soon as possible, and the result of that piece of land must be contributed to this king for free three points!" β
In other words, the results of Ouyang Hao's research will be given priority to contribute to the prince.
That day, he didn't hesitate long before agreeing.
He didn't know that he would agree so readily at that time, it stands to reason that if such a condition was proposed by the second person, he would not agree, but when the prince proposed it, he agreed inexplicably, probably because of his sister, Ouyang Hao thought.
"Sister, you admire your second brother, don't you admire me?" Ouyang Yu was a little unhappy when he heard Ouyang Ningxin say this.
He felt that his sister liked her second brother a little more now than he liked his eldest brother, which was not good!
Although he is not as good as Ouyang Hao in this regard, he also helps these days, and there is no credit and hard work!
Ouyang Ning was speechless, feeling that her eldest brother was really a child's nature!
"How come, the eldest brother is a good helper of the second brother, and I also admire the little sister!"
"You're poor!" Ouyang Yu was praised and immediately changed his face.
"Let's go for a walk around the village." Ouyang Hao made a rare request.
Then the four of them went into the village.
On this day, that Luo Yiyi didn't come with him, and they didn't need him with the city lord, and besides, he was there, and it didn't be of much use, but he thought he was talking in his ears.
Luo Yiyi didn't come because she was grounded by her father, because when she went back that day, she told the city lord of Luo that she liked the prince and wanted the city lord to inquire about the news.
But when the city lord heard this, his face immediately changed, and then he gave an order to grounded the person for a few days, and she was not allowed to follow the prince and the princess.
Luo Feng is a discerning person, he can see that the relationship between the prince and the princess is very good, and Ling Ye probably attaches more importance to the princess's words than his own.
Just imagine, how can outsiders get into such a relationship between the two.
If you insist on destroying it, if the prince is merciful, it is possible to save your life, but on the contrary, you may end up dead without a body.
He would not be naΓ―ve to think that his daughter would have the kind of fate to marry a powerful person.
Moreover, he could see that although the princess seemed to be kind and talkative on the surface, it was without touching her bottom line.
He has always been very accurate in seeing people, so he will never allow his daughter to die!
The men tied up their horses and walked into the village.
Along the way, the people who came in and out of the village looked back at them, they had never seen anyone so well dressed.
Although several of them are already dressed very plainly, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still extraordinary.
A few villagers watched them keep walking, and they did not have a clear purpose of which house they wanted to go to, nor who they wanted to go to, and the place they went to was not the village chief's house.
So, a few young men thought they had bad intentions and secretly went to the village chief.
Ouyang Ningxin observed as he walked, and then occasionally said a few more words.
As he walked, he was confronted by an old man with a cane.
"Dare to ask how many of you are here to find someone?" The old man's voice came.
Several people looked at each other and guessed that the identity of the old man should be the head of this village.
"Hello senior, we are here to investigate, I don't know who you are?" In the end, Ouyang Yu replied to the old man out loud.
There are four people here, just Ouyang Ningxin is a woman, you can't let a woman come forward to answer, and the other two are not good at words, in the end, of course, Ouyang Yu will answer.
"I'm the head of this village, what do you do as a survey?" The old man may not have heard of the word survey, so he doesn't understand what they mean.
Ouyang Yu also patiently explained to the old man: "Senior, the survey is to see what kind of crops are suitable for planting here, and then choose varieties to plant." β
"Who are you?" Obviously, the old man's vigilance is still quite high, and he knows that he must first understand their identity.
"Seniors, don't worry, we have no malicious intentions, a while ago, the imperial court issued an edict, saying that Los Angeles was used as a test area, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of this before, but I haven't seen any officials to implement it, and I thought the plan would not be implemented again." The old man said.
"Senior, we are here to take charge of this matter, and this is one of the villages under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles, so we specially came to investigate."
This time, it was Ouyang Ningxin who explained out loud, she was worried that Ouyang Yu would speak too bluntly, which would make the village chief dissatisfied.
"Senior, I want to ask, do you have any views or good suggestions on this matter?" Ouyang Ning humbly asked for advice.
Xu is village chief saw that the few of them spoke politely, and they didn't put on any official tones, so they answered seriously.
"Regarding this matter, when the edict came down, I asked other people in the village, and probably half of them agreed and half disagreed!"
"And do you know why those people don't approve of it?" Ouyang Ningxin was slightly surprised, it was already unexpected to have half of them agree, because it seemed a little difficult to ask them to accept this change.
People in this era will have a feudal mentality, and the difficulty of accepting new things is their greatest commonality, especially in the countryside.
"Some people think that these may be made up by the imperial court again, and most of them will not succeed, while some people think that since there is a chance, why not try to do it, maybe it will succeed!" The village chief told Ouyang Ningxin the results of the previous discussion.
