Chapter 315: Sorghum Infested with Worms
Out of Nancheng, along the only official road, Shu Ningshuang soon saw a large sorghum field.
Zhao Qingzheng took Fu Ge'er to stand on the edge of the ridge and said something to an old man in his forties and fifties wearing a blue-gray Gebu sweatshirt.
Watching from a distance, after a while, Shu Ningshuang got out of the carriage and came to a few people along the path on the ground cage.
“…… The inn is busy turning the sky upside down, and my sister is idle, so she came here. She looked at Zhao Qing and reproached.
"After selling the first batch of peaches, everyone is already familiar with the road, and they don't need me at all." Zhao Qing said with a smile.
The contract had already been signed, and Gu Changsheng, Zhao Bingxun and the others were all trustworthy, and after arranging everything in the morning, she really had nothing to do in her hands.
When she sold the first batch of peaches, she was also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and she was breaking the road, so she followed in person, and now she is on the right track, so naturally she doesn't need to stare at it herself.
"It's just that my sister's heart is big, so I can be a shopkeeper." For another person, such a large transaction, the sky is dark when he is busy early.
Looking at Zhao Qing, who was bathed in the morning glow and filled with a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere, Shu Ningshuang couldn't say what she felt in her heart.
A hundred or so people begged for a banquet, and hit the back of their busy heels on the back of the head, and they couldn't sleep well for a few days and nights.
And she often came and went in and out of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of carriages and hundreds of carriages of goods, and such a big deal was still so idle.
Shake your head.
This man is really incomparable.
While looking down at a sorghum ear twisted in the old man's hand, Zhao Qing said again. "Sister, wait a minute, I'll be fine right away."
"What is my sister looking at?" Shu Ningshuang leaned over curiously.
"Sorghum has been insected!" Fu Ge'er said crisply.
He dragged the sorghum ear in the old man's hand, and his little finger flicked the ear head. Twisted out a small insect with two light brown longitudinal stripes on its back, and was not afraid, so he picked it up with his hand and handed it to Shu Ningshuang, "Auntie, this is it!" ”
Seeing the soothing cream, the scalp was numb, and the hairs on his body stood up.
“…… Throw it away! ”
"nothing∵dǐng∵diǎn∵小∵ said,.→.▼os_(); Don't bite. Brother Fu grinned.
"Brother Fu stuck a few of these bugs on his clothes yesterday. When I asked, I realized that he had drilled into a sorghum field, so I took him out to have a look. Zhao Qing looked at Shu Ningshuang and explained. The old man said, not one acre or two acres, this piece of sorghum and millet outside Shizhou City has been affected by this kind of insect...... "shook the sorghum ear in his hand," my sister looked. The ears of sorghum are black. It's deflated inside. "This year's harvest is at least 50% off.
After taking it and twisting it seriously, Shu Ningshuang looked up at the old man, "Can't you cure it?" ”
The old man shook his head and pointed to the sorghum field in the distance, "This insect multiplies too fast, one by one, and there is no cure at all." ”
Shu Ningshuang frowned.
"I also heard Master Lu mention it to the master, saying that it is not only Shizhou Mansion. The sorghum and millet in our Tam Si province have been infested. ”
"Can't you spray some pesticides?" Zhao Qing asked.
I haven't studied or farmed, but Zhao Qing had also heard of pesticides such as pesticides in his previous life. Spraying a large area can even remove weeds.
"No cure." The old man shook his head.
Thinking of something, Shu Ningshuang suddenly raised her head, "Is there a way for my sister to cure this insect infestation?" ”
After all, this is the area under her minister's jurisdiction, and it is always good to let the common people have more diǎn harvests.
Pest control?
I really think of her as an omnipotent immortal.
Zhao Qing stared at Shu Ningshuang for a while before shaking his head, "How can I cure this?" ”
The method of fruit ripening, storage and transportation is a necessary common sense for selling fruits, and she is a businessman herself, so she remembers it, as for the pure agricultural science of crop pest control, she really doesn't know anything.
gave the old man some loose silver, and the two came to the carriage parked on the side of the official road.
Let Xia Zhu go to his carriage, and Shu Ningshuang got into Zhao Qing's carriage.
Sitting face to face, looking at Zhao Qing, who had been absent-minded since getting into the car, Shu Ningshuang's heartstrings tightened.
I wanted to ask her what she thought of Shen Huaiyu's death because of herself, and I was worried that she would choose that cruel revenge, her lips moved and moved, Shu Ningshuang was fighting fiercely in her heart, Zhao Qing suddenly raised her head, looked at her and said seriously:
"Sister, I want to revive the Shen family's old business and continue to do the grain business, what do you think?"
In a trance, Shu Ningshuang looked at Zhao Qing for a while before she realized what she said.
"Continue in the grain business?" She subconsciously whispered, "How can this be done!" ”
Looking at Zhao Qing's strange and calm gaze that was beyond her age, Shu Ningshuang's voice suddenly stopped again.
There was a lot of silence in the carriage.
Only the creaking of wheels was heard.
"That ......" After dozens of breaths, Shu Ningshuang slowed down her voice again, "My sister is a businessman, and I know better than me, when the Yang family had the right to cooperate with the Northwest Defense Army for ten years, and successfully squeezed the Shen family out of the grain market in Tanxi Province...... As a result, he was beaten by Yang Ziqian in less than two rounds, and I heard that millions of taels of silver were lost, and Second Master Qiu fell seriously ill and almost died...... "She looked at Zhao Qing, "Back then, the third master was such a ghost, relying on the Shen family's abundant funds, it was extremely difficult to open a Yushengtang branch in Zhongzhou Mansion, and in the end, the family was ruined...... Sister, I can't get in at all......"
Thinking of the tragedy of the grain hegemony back then, Zhao Qing was slightly silent.
Shu Ningshuang thought about it and said:
"Yesterday, the seventh master and the old man also discussed that my sister's secret method of storage, transportation and ripening is absolutely unprecedented, relying on this and your genius, within five years, my sister will become the head of the fruit line of the entire Great Chu Kingdom! Become the king of fruits in Da Chu, my sister will devote herself to fruit trading, and she will have a bright future! ”
Zhao Qing smiled.
"This sister can rest assured, Yang Ziqian has promised to return to me all the markets south of the Yichun River that originally belonged to the Shen family, and the exclusive right to cooperate in the army can also give me fifty percent ......"
"Ah......h
Shu Ningshuang was stunned.
She looked at Zhao Qing in disbelief, thinking that her ears had misheard.
How so?
This is a raw land to give up half of the country!
With Yang Ziqian's head, which is more refined than a monkey and more cunning than an old fox, how could he do such a stupid thing?
Didn't he burn out his head with a fever?
"How is this possible!" Shu Ningshuang exclaimed, "Yang Ziqian is not ......" Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused and glared at Zhao Qing, "Sister is not...... No...... And...... and ......"
Pointing to Zhao Qing's face, Shu Ningshuang was speechless as she stuttered. (To be continued.) )
