Chapter 143: Lord Ben is rewarded
Liu Pan'er squinted her eyes, greeted the sun, and looked at the young men who rode into the village, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Seeing this, Li Dabao thought that his mother was very dissatisfied with his father who was far away in the northwest city, and now he was staring at the other young men, and among them was the handsome and knowledgeable Master Gu, and he was immediately nervous.
"Mother, the people in the village are nearby, don't stare at the other men!" Li Dabao reminded his mother around the corner not to be rude.
As soon as Liu Paner heard it, she knew that Li Dabao began to think blindly, this kid thinks so much, isn't he afraid that he won't grow tall?
"I didn't look at the man, I saw the horse under the man's crotch." Liu Pan'er watched with greed as Lord Gu and a few guards rode over, from here in the county seat, it had only been more than an hour, and the speed was very fast.
Usually she drives the ox cart, starting from the morning, and arriving at the county seat in the afternoon when the sun is about to set, the speed is too slow. Sitting in an ox cart, my ass is numb.
Fortunately, she has a lot of meat on her buttocks, and if there is less meat, she will probably be able to grind her skin.
When Li Dabao heard this, he was also very greedy, "Mother, Dad can ride a horse, wait for him to come back, let Daddy teach you." ”
Liu Paner rolled her eyes with the "Daddy Maniac" Li Dabao on her back, and her original husband Li Yuanqing was still fighting in the northwest. I heard that the war is tight, and the enemy country has been on the side, and I don't know whether it is life or death, let alone the date of return.
The four children have always been thinking about their original husband Li Yuanqing, and Liu Paner can't do bad things about separating fathers and sons.
"We'll talk about it then." Liu Paner replied perfunctorily, not taking it seriously.
Li Dabao was overjoyed, ran to Lord Gu, grinned, and showed two rows of big white teeth, "Lord Gu, Third Brother Gu, are you here to see our sweet potato field digging sweet potatoes?" ”
Lord Qin Cha Gu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Dabao, take me to have a look." ”
Qin sent Lord Gu to get off the horse, the village was no longer suitable for horseback riding, and he came down to talk to Li Dabao, and it happened that he had something to ask Liu Paner.
Liu Pan'er looked at the slender and handsome Lord Qin Cha Gu, and admired it in her heart.
This man is handsome, and he can indeed be pleasing to the eye.
For example, she's in a good mood right now.
After Qin sent Lord Gu over, Liu Pan'er made a great blessing, "Lord Gu, the woman will lead the way with you." The sweet potatoes planted by my family earlier are enough for two acres and six points of land, and yesterday we have dug up one acre and six points of land, and there is a whole acre left, just to wait for Lord Gu to come over and verify it in person. ”
When Lord Qin Cha Gu heard this, he smiled and bowed politely, "I'm tired." ”
Li Dabao didn't want his mother to say too much to Lord Gu, so he interjected when he saw the opportunity, and asked with a smile: "Lord Gu, are the sweet potatoes delicious?" Last time, the kid told the adults that sweet potatoes are fragrant and sweet. Now the yield is so high, the fresh leaves can be eaten by people and pigs. Farmers grow sweet potatoes to increase production and income. ”
When Lord Qin Cha Gu heard Li Dabao's words, he lowered his head and chuckled, "You kid is right, sweet potatoes are indeed delicious, fragrant and sweet, but they are not easy to preserve, and they are estimated to be placed in a cool room or cellar." ”
Liu Pan'er nodded and replied: "Yes, the temperature in the south is high, and the cellar is damp, if you want to preserve sweet potatoes, you have to make dried sweet potatoes." The north is dry, the cellar is dry, and it can be stored for a winter without spoiling. ”
Lord Qin Cha Gu nodded and took it to heart.
As they spoke, they walked, and in a short time they were on the ground.
Zhou Cuihua was waiting on the ground with more than a dozen hired people, waiting to dig sweet potatoes.
At this time, seeing that Lord Qin sent Gu to come, Zhou Cuihua immediately took the villagers to kneel down and kowtow.
Lord Gu hurriedly asked everyone to get up, and immediately ordered Gu San to take people to measure the number of remaining sweet potato fields.
Exactly one acre of land.
Since this is the case, Lord Qin Cha Gu nodded and said to everyone: "Let's start digging sweet potatoes, if one acre of land can really exceed five thousand catties, everyone present will be rewarded with five taels of silver each." ”
When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.
Especially the second stunned man with four sons, plus him, it is five people, and the reward is twenty-five taels of silver. The yield per mu reached 5,000 catties, which is certain, and yesterday's yield per mu reached more than 6,000 catties, and he personally measured it.
Originally, the second stunned saw that Liu Paner was a capable person and made money by doing anything, so he took the opportunity to come over and work for Liu Paner in vain, hoping that Liu Paner could take his family to make a fortune in the future.
I never thought that I could get so much reward after only two days.
Lord Qin Cha Gu has said so, so what are you waiting for?
Do it hard!
"Hurry up and get to work, your lord has a reward!" The second stunned looked at the third son who was holding a straw in his mouth not far away, and he was angry, and he was kicked.
What the hell is it not okay, peek at the widow's bath number one.
When everyone heard the stunned voice, they also reacted, and they worked more seriously and carefully, making sure not to break any sweet potato.
Standing in the ground, Lord Qin Cha Gu carefully observed the rhizomes of sweet potatoes, and was more and more shocked when he saw that more than a dozen sweet potatoes of all sizes could grow under a plant.
It seems that the yield per mu is 5,000 catties, which should be true.
Lord Qin Cha Gu's heart was hot and excited.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, it was either a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, internal and external troubles, and the Great Zhou court was in turmoil.
Many people said that this was the wrong way for His Majesty's throne, so the genius came down to punish him.
As the new emperor ascended the throne, the first batch of Enke's jinshi, he was left with His Majesty to follow the order. He knows better than anyone that His Majesty is very diligent, and he really gets up earlier than the chicken and sleeps later than the dog.
His Majesty is also very wise and capable, otherwise it would not be possible to kill the crown prince and the eighth prince with the highest voice from among so many princes, and finally ascend to the throne.
But it didn't catch up with the good times, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, and at a young age, His Majesty had a lot of gray hairs on his head, and he was exhausted all day long.
If these high-yield sweet potatoes can be planted in the north and the north is stable, Dazhou will be stable.
Even if it can't be grown in the north, it is auspicious for such a high-yield crop to appear. For His Majesty, who is now being criticized by some old pedants all day long, that is also an excellent counterattack.
Thinking of this, Lord Qincha Gu's heart was slightly sour.
It is really gratifying to see the sweet potatoes being dug up and piled up in piles, and there are more and more of them.
Liu Pan'er selected six sweet potatoes with the best growth and asked others not to dig them first, she walked in front of Lord Gu, "Lord Gu, do you want to report to the imperial court when such a high-yield crop appears?" ”
Lord Qin Cha Gu nodded, "That's nature, such a good thing, for the benefit of the people of the world." Not only will this official report to the imperial court, but I will also personally go to Beijing and tell Your Majesty about this grand event. ”
Liu Pan'er understood, and then asked with a smile: "Master Gu, if you haven't seen my family's sweet potato field before, and suddenly heard that there are sweet potatoes with a yield of five or six thousand catties per mu, do you believe it?" ”
