On the third day of coming to Tiger Castle, Ye Lingxue drove out with her servants early in the morning, and then hid in a forest, using the clairvoyant mirror she brought to secretly watch the movement of Tiger Castle opposite.

finally found the trace of Ying Chong in a field in the distance, but Ye Lingxue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. However, she was not surprised, because of the scene in the distance, she had seen it several times in the past two days.

"Shizi, he went to the field again? I really don't understand, isn't that the rough work that should be done by the subordinate? How can he relish?"

Youxiang also held a thousand-mile realm, looking at Yingchong more than ten miles away with incomprehension. The one on the other side was now walking in the field with his trousers rolled up and his feet covered with mud, plowing the field while holding the plow, and talking and laughing with the peasants.

"What do you mean by the rough work done by a subordinate?"

Ye Shan snorted coldly, and patted Youxiang's head heavily: "Shinong is a businessman, and agriculture is second-class." Even today, in the early spring of each year, he also needs to go to the field and go to the farm with the ministers to show the world and persuade the people to work hard in farming. However, this was also many years ago, and now although there is a son of heaven, he has coped with it. He can be like this, it is really extraordinary,"

He is now more and more satisfied with his future uncle. I would like to ask the children of those families in Xianyang City, how many of them are willing to go to the fields and take charge of the farming themselves? I am afraid that there are not many who can know where their daily food comes from and what the wheat looks like.

And in the past few days, looking at the world, whether it is plowing the field or sowing seeds, he is skillful, and he is by no means just pretending.

Youxiang nodded as if she didn't understand, she didn't despise farm work, nor did she despise Shizi because of this, on the contrary, she felt that Shizi was very kind. can be so kind and kind to a few tenants, presumably the prince will be very good to a subordinate like her.

Fang just asked, but she felt that the prince of the world was very different from the children of the big clans she had seen.

While the two were talking, Ye Lingxue was staring at the ploughshare in Ying Chong's hand. It was a little different from the plough she had seen before, not only was the tip of the plough made of iron, but the wheel was not straight, but curved slightly. There is a small mechanism on the plough body, and when the plough tip is passed, wheat seeds are sown at the same time.

Moreover, plowing in this weather is also very strange in itself, it is almost November, how can you farm at this time?

In fact, this question has been entrenched in her mind for two days.

At first, she thought it was ridiculous, because Ying Chong didn't know how to farm, but she found that the fields in Tiger Fort were like this, and those tenant farmers were also elated and not dissatisfied.

"Ye Bo, can you inquire about the situation over there, why do you sow seeds before winter, and it's still wheat?"

"I've been asked, and it's winter wheat. Recently, it has been cultivated by several farmers and is said to be resistant to cold, sowing seeds before winter and ripening in April and May, giving the wheat a better taste than spring wheat. It is said that in some places where the land is fertile and the temperature is suitable, wheat can be planted in winter and soybeans in summer, and it is said that farmers can double their income every year. However, this law has not yet spread. ”

Ye Shan replied respectfully: "And that plow, it should be the plow of the Quyuan mechanism." Thirty years ago, by the hands of a Mojia articulator, when plowing the land, not only was it faster, but it could also be sown at the same time. Although it is expensive, it is very convenient. Recently, it has become popular in the Qi and Zhao countries, and many people in my Great Qin have also used it. It is our Shuanghe Ye family, and we have recently begun to customize a large number of curved machine plows. ”

"I see!"

Ye Lingxue couldn't help but suddenly, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, the output of this Tiger Fort field is indeed higher than that of other fields? ”

In the territory of Daqin, it is not a place where more than 60% of the land rent is not collected, but it is a fertile land with a yield of three stones and four stones per mu. And these people are usually poor families or nouveau riche, and the real world-lord wealthy families have to take care of the reputation of the township, but rarely do it.

It is extremely rare for Yingchong to be tax-free for the fields under his name, but still charge as much as 50% of the field rent.

Youxiang shook her head: "Miss, what you said is not right! I heard from the farmers in the village yesterday that although the Huju Fort collects fifty percent of the land rent, in fact, every New Year's Day, the Huju Fort has silver coins, linen cloth and New Year's gifts. The land rent is said to be 50%, but in fact it is only 20%. However, there are also conditions, each tenant needs to be in the prime of life to follow the martial artists in the Tiger Castle to practice martial arts and drill military formations. But it's not hard, not only do you eat and drink, but you also have meat to eat occasionally. ”

Ye Lingxue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this: "But as far as I know, Ying Chong has a bad reputation near this Funiu Mountain. ”

This is also one of the reasons why Ying Chong is notorious in Xianyang City.

"It's not a bad reputation, if it weren't for the fact that the Tiger Castle has no land to spare now, and can no longer hire people, the tenant farmers on our grange would want to run over. ”

Youxiang was very puzzled, holding her chin in her hand and said: "It is said that many tenants in Huju Fort have statues of the son of his gods, and he is really a Buddha here." ”

"Shizi, he is indeed notorious, but this is near this Funiu Mountain. In the fort, the situation is diametrically opposite. ”

Ye Shan explained Ye Lingxue's confusion and said: "In the twenty-third year of the Heavenly Sage, after the defeat of the Great Qin Shenlu, twenty-two cities were attacked, causing more than one million Qin people to flee eastward, and it coincided with natural disasters, causing the displaced people to rise in all directions. Several granges under the name of the prince were also affected, the villagers rioted, burned the fields, and finally the prince stepped forward and resolutely borrowed troops from the nearby Zuojin Wuwei to quell the mob. It is said that in that year, more than 300 tenants of Shizi's family died, and they were called brutal. However, this matter is quite strange, there was no catastrophe at the foot of Funiu Mountain that year, and the handsome couple who won the magic power have always been benevolent, and the land rent is only 20%, and there is no harsh cruelty. In addition, there is this winter wheat, which was forced to be planted by the tenants three years ago, and it is said that there have been many troubles for this. But three years later, even if there is no order from the prince, those tenants will consciously prepare to plant winter rice. What's more, if the prince runs a grange here, and several nearby families are more or less loss-making, how can he clear his reputation for the prince?"

After sneering at this, Ye Shan pointed to the pedestrians on the road in the distance: "In fact, just by looking at the appearance of these tenants, you can know that there are no people who are not clothed and unclothed, and there are no people with yellow faces and thin muscles, everyone is smiling, which shows wealth." Today, there are few and far between. ”

"Is that so?"

Ye Lingxue looked at Ying Chong in the clairvoyant mirror again, and her mood was complicated. Unconsciously, she already had a little admiration and pity for the person in the mirror.

It can be imagined that after An Guogong's death, Ying Chong faced a terrible situation. However, in the past four years, these farms under Ying Chong's name have not only not been depressed, but have been thriving, and even built this tiger fort.

"I remember someone once told me that it is easy to ruin a person's reputation, but it is very difficult to turn it around, and it is true. Huh? Where are they going?"

Ye Lingxue turned the clairvoyant mirror, only to see Ying Chong in the distance, and at this time stepped on the horse again, and then ran to the north with the attendants of the brigade.

From a distance, the direction of Ying Chong and the others should be the hills on the periphery of Funiu Mountain. However, the mountains and fields are not the common withered yellow after winter, but a purple red.

Ye Shan also moved the clairvoyant mirror, following Ying Chong's figure: "They should go to the hills over there, two and a half years ago, the prince bought this tiger castle 3,000 hectares of mountainous land, and planted that piece of purple olives. The intent is unknown. I've had people check on them in the past two days, but they're heavily guarded and can't get close. Not surprisingly, there must be a mystery in it—"

"Xuanji, Purple Olive?"

Ye Lingxue bit her fingernails lightly and fell into deep thought, such a thing as an olive tree comes from the land of Taixi. However, ordinary olives are more suitable for growing in sunny places in the south, but purple olives are different and extremely hardy, so they can also grow in the north.

However, this Tessie species can really ripen and produce fruit in this exotic land, and the 'mystery' hidden in that hill also makes her very concerned.

"If you're curious, let's go over and have a look. ”

Without thinking, Ye Lingxue flew off the carriage, her posture elegant, fresh and dusty. Although she is not weak, it is impossible for her to sneak over with a car. If you want to keep Ying from making them conscious, you can only walk.

"But—"

Ye Shan hesitated a little: "In the Tiger Fortress, there is a heavenly powerhouse in charge, and the rank is not low. There is also a long-term blessing, who is also a ninth-order martial venerable, and he is only one step away from attaining the heavenly position. The Xuangong 'Six Paths of Divine Communication' practiced by himself is even more famous for his spiritual acuity. ”

There is a heavenly position in the Tiger Fortress, but this is from the mouth of that Aunt Qiu. As for Xiang Laifu, although it is only the realm of martial arts, but the 'six paths of the gods' are extremely good, it is said that the cultivation to the ninth level, can be a thousand steps away, know the fall of a feather.

Even if it is with Ye Lingxue's Dao method, if you want to hide from that heavenly position and always come to Fu, I am afraid that it will not be easy.

Ye Lingxue turned back with a smile: "Uncle Ye doesn't believe me, I can't do it alone, but with Aunt Qiu, she is always enough!"

Although it was in a joking tone, Ye Lingxue's eyebrows and eyes contained indescribable confidence. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
