Chapter 429: Women Sing and Husbands Follow
Don't you want your little girl to lose her office? Master let you lose the official hat on your head first, and you will never be able to turn over! Those who don't plan to embarrass the little girl for the time being are not so easy to talk to. No, you have to bang and bang these guys with high eyebrows and low eyes.
Zhu Junyang took a step forward, stood beside Yu Xiaocao, stood side by side with her, and expressed himself with actions and attitudes to support the little girl.
"According to the emperor's instructions, whether it is the official in charge of agricultural affairs in the household department or the steward of the imperial village, they are all subject to the dispatch of the remaining agricultural officials. If you don't comply, you will be severely punished! Zhu Junyang's sharp eyes swept over the officials with bad intentions, paused, and continued, "Everything in the Huangzhuang is handed over to the household department and the master to be in charge together, and the master proposes that all matters in the Huangzhuang be decided by the newly appointed agricultural officer, Liu Shangshu, what do you think?" ”
"I have no objection, in terms of farming, the old man is just a second-in-command, Miss Yu is far more than the old man in this regard, she is in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Village, the old man can rest assured!" Then, Liu Shangshu introduced the officials and stewards present to Yu Xiaocao one by one. Who is in charge of what, it is clear in detail.
Yu Xiaocao listened carefully, those officials in the household department are all dispensable, what record officials, what treasurer officials, they don't know much about farming, and they can't count on them. The stewards of the imperial village performed their own duties, and the arrangements were reasonable. For the time being, she wasn't going to make a move, just listened quietly to their reports.
When everyone had finished speaking, it was rumored that the carriage of the maids had arrived. Looking at the time, Yu Xiaocao got up and said: "The potion has been delivered, please ask Steward Wang to gather the tenant farmers on the Huangzhuang, and when the official has adjusted the proportion of the potion, he will start irrigation immediately." After all, farming time waits for no one! ”
Steward Wang was sent by the emperor himself, and he was one of the managers who could be used by Su Ran. Because of Su Ran's attitude towards the Yu family, especially Yu Xiaocao, Steward Wang naturally had a little more respect for her and obeyed her words.
Soon all the personnel on the Huangzhuang were mobilized, carrying buckets and carrying flat shoulders, haunting the fields. The tenant farmers were divided into ten groups, each with a group leader, who was in charge of the proportion of potions dispensed. The well water, which was mixed with the potion, was irrigated into the fields.
Xiaocao specially let the small mending stone turn into a golden light and walked around all the land in Huangzhuang. With the current mana of the small mending stone, although it is only such a circle, the soil of Huangzhuang has been improved, and the aura inside is enough to support the growth of the crops in the field. When the autumn harvest comes, it will definitely be a bumper year!
There were many people in Huangzhuang, both men and women, young and old, all of whom were assigned tasks, and even the stewards were called around, and within half a day, the 3,000 acres of fertile land planted with corn were watered.
Because Liu Shangshu was reluctant to leave, the officials of the household department also accompanied him around the fields.
Seeing that the corn seedlings that had just sent out two small leaves looked so verdant and moving in the afterglow of the sunset, Liu Shangshu stroked the beard under his chin, smiled and said with a relieved face: "Miss Yu, I don't know if it's the old man's illusion, why this potion has just been irrigated, and this corn seedling is more energetic." It seems that he has grown up a little bit......"
Zhu Junyang glanced at Yu Xiaocao, who seemed to be thinking of an excuse, and helped her out: "Lord Liu, is it your psychological effect?" No matter how miraculous the potion is, it can't be effective right away. As for growing up, it's even more nonsense. The growth of all things has its own laws to follow. Yu Nongguan is not an immortal, where does he have that kind of mana? ”
Liu Shangshu also felt that he was too careful, and said with a smile: "What King Yangjun said is extremely true, is the old man in too urgent mood, so he has such an illusion, right?" ”
The officials in charge of agricultural affairs around him also muttered in their hearts: They don't know whether the corn seedlings have grown or not, but they are indeed much more energetic than what they saw in the morning. The whole field is full of vitality, and this vitality seems to flow out of every leaf. Could it be that these are all their delusions?
In the red glow of the sky, two horses, one red and one black, walked side by side on the wide and smooth official road, and occasionally a crooked neck tree on both sides, stretching its green leaves in the afterglow of summer. Immediately, two figures were red by the sunset, one was thin and slender, and the other was tall and long. Behind the two of them, followed by two horsemen, and an ordinary Qingpeng carriage.
"What the hell are you trying to figure out?" Seeing Yu Xiaocao bowing her head and being silent, her eyes rolling from time to time, Zhu Junyang could easily tell from her expression that she was thinking about something important.
Yu Xiaocao looked up at Zhu Junyang and asked, "You say, if I plant some fruit trees on the mountain behind Huangzhuang, or open up a field next to Zhuangzi, cover a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and sell them to those dignitaries in the capital." Will the emperor agree? ”
He said that this girl must not be idle, and as he expected, he only came to the capital for a few days, and he started the idea of Huangzhuang. Huangzhuang was originally a place used by the emperor to cultivate and improve food crops, as long as she could successfully complete the task assigned to her by the emperor, and use the mountains near Huangzhuang to seek some small benefits for herself, the emperor would definitely not care about these.
"As long as you don't occupy the pre-existing land of Huangzhuang, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Why don't you write an excerpt for you, please tell the emperor? Zhu Junyang has a little admiration for Xiaocao's little head who is thinking about how to make money all the time.
Writing excerpts, sincerity is not her strong point. Besides, with the dog crawling calligraphy she has practiced for a few days, it is estimated that the words she writes will be difficult for the emperor to write. Someone does it for her, and she is naturally happy.
"However, if you want to build a greenhouse, you need a lot of glass. The price of large pieces of glass is not low, and several greenhouses in the capital are used to grow precious flowers and plants. If you use it to grow vegetables, I don't know when the cost will be recovered......"
Zhu Junyang pondered that the office seemed to have entered a batch of glass with good transparency, and he didn't know if the emperor had any arrangements there. If he asks the emperor for it, what are the chances of success?
Yu Xiaocao calculated a little in his heart, if he wanted to plant vegetables in a large area, he really couldn't just point to the glass greenhouse. As King Yangjun said, the cost is too high, the cost investment is too much, and it is not very cost-effective......
"That'...... Can the little king get the saplings of the fruit trees, or the fruit trees that bear fruit that year! Yu Xiaocao thought that if he couldn't get vegetables in the greenhouse this year, he would get some fruit trees first, and sell the fruits or make them into canned food next year, which would also be a profit.
It is not easy to live in the capital, and it is good to live anywhere in the capital, but the expenses are too large, and it is a place to use money at every turn. Although she has a fortune, it is enough for something, and a year's fortune is not enough to buy a hairpin or bracelet. Therefore, it is not enough to throttle the light, but also open source!
Zhu Junyang had an expression wrapped around his master: "What fruit tree do you want?" There's no one who can't get it back! Even though the opening is. ”
"Apples, oranges, peach, pears, apricots, vines...... Let's get a few of each, shall we? When will you be able to get it at the latest? "Of course Yu Xiaocao won't mess with those southern fruit trees, it's too dazzling. The ones listed on your fingers are all common fruit trees in the north.
"Now? Isn't it best to transplant fruit trees in the spring? Can you get it now? Zhu Junyang was a little worried.
Yu Xiaocao straightened her little nose, snorted, and said very arrogantly: "With this girl's ability, there are still things that this girl can't grow?" You're waiting to eat fruit next year! ”
Zhu Junyang saw the little girl's expression, just like the golden kitten she raised, her head was about to rise to her back, and she couldn't help but smile: "You, don't blow the cowhide too much, be careful to blow it!" ”
"Look down on people! Do you still want to eat fruit? The little girl was so bold that she began to threaten him.
Zhu Junyang still trusts the little girl's ability very much, just teasing her a few words, just wanting to see her fried hair. The peach tree in the backyard of the Yu family in Dongshan Village was originally just a wild peach on the mountain, not to mention the small fruit, and the taste was slightly sour, which was really not delicious. But after the little girl carefully served, the peaches produced are not to mention the size, the taste is as sweet as honey, and a small bite can suck the flesh into the mouth, and even the toothless old man can eat a few.
There is also the vine in the courtyard, which can eat sweet grapes from April. Other people's grapes will deteriorate in two days without release, but the grapes in Yu's yard can be put for a week when sent to the capital, and the taste will not change at all. The bull's-eye-like grapes were well received by the ladies in Beijing, and they asked the mother concubine about the origin of the grapes, which made the mother concubine very annoyed.
It is conceivable that if the little girl tosses out the orchard in the imperial village, it will be absolutely terrible, and it is likely that the fruits of the entire capital will be monopolized by her! It seems that it is necessary to get a few fruit shops in the shop under your own name, and when the time comes, the little girl will grow her own sales, produce and sell herself, and the woman will sing with her husband, isn't it beautiful?
Thinking so, after sending Xiaocao back to the General's Mansion, Zhu Junyang wrote an excerpt overnight and handed it over. And instructed his subordinates to collect fruit trees near the capital, and they didn't get too much of everything, five or six, let the little girl toss first, it's good to plant it alive, but it's not a pity if it doesn't work.
The next day, Xiaocao was summoned to the palace again. Maybe it was the shadow in her heart that she entered the palace the day before yesterday, and she beat the drum in her heart as soon as she said that she entered the palace. I don't know if the emperor will regret it and covet her colorful stones.
This time, Mr. Su did not lead her to the imperial study, but led her to the path leading to the imperial garden.
"Mr. Su, how is the emperor feeling today?" felt that it was not good to inquire directly about the emperor's intentions, so Yu Xiaocao thought about judging whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to enter the palace this time through the emperor's mood.
