Chapter 57: Choosing a Farming Scene for a Talented Female Companion (7)
It's him, these two meals are just a bowl of porridge with wild vegetables and a piece of red bean cake, and I really can't eat anything else.
In the past, when he was training in the military camp, when the war in the north was tight, he also followed the soldiers to gnaw coarse grains and pour turbid raw water, but snail meat, which seemed to him to be a bearded worm, was never touched.
As for the lychee sweet soup, he is used to drinking it by a big man.
I didn't expect her to like it.
Yan Kejin raised her eyebrows.
It's changed so much that it's hard not to be suspicious.
But...... That's interesting, isn't it?
"It won't take that long to thank you, right?"
Yan Qi hurriedly said: "The princess gave a few bags of sweet potatoes to the master's family, and asked them to plant them on the mountain as seeds, saying that this is not picky, and she also taught them several ways to eat sweet potatoes." And the ...... of the beans."
To be honest, Yan Qi couldn't understand why the feed eaten by livestock would also be seen and remembered by the princess.
"Finally, he also said that there was a crop called sugarcane, which his subordinates had never seen, but the princess seemed to know it, and drew a picture of sugarcane for the master's family to pay attention to, and said, ......"
"Say what?"
"If they plant it, let them send it to the Jinnan Palace, and she will answer with grain and cloth."
ββ¦β¦β
Yan Kejin was silent for a moment, and then ordered: "You send someone to find this crop and see what it is used for." β
"Yes!"
"Go and urge, it's time to go, if you don't leave tonight, you want to sleep in the wilderness?"
ββ¦β¦ Be! β
β¦β¦
The carriage scurled forward, jolting from time to time.
Xu Yin steadied the teacup and took a sip of tea, bowing her head to write her farming plan.
The charcoal pen wanders around, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dance in cursive in one hand.
Mama Feng was about to talk and stopped, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
At this moment, she was more and more sure in her heart: the fourth girl was afraid that she had been hiding clumsily in the past.
Do you want to say back to Madame?
But Nanban is too far away from Beijing, and it takes two months one way.
Those who can support the envoy, like her, have to follow the four girls to the palace, and they can't get out when they enter the Nanban realm.
Spend money to find irrelevant people to send letters, but I'm afraid that it won't be safe, and if I am discovered by the prince, I can't explain the reason......
Mama Feng's heart turned a thousand times, and finally chose not to know.
Anyway, Mrs. sent her to let her keep an eye on the four girls, and only begged the four girls not to run back to Beijing, but the other ladies did not order.
So as long as the four girls don't run, it's easy to say anything.
Xu Yin didn't know the ups and downs in Mama Feng's heart, she was busy.
After writing the preliminary plan, start pulling the tools available in the system shop.
The beginning of spring has passed, and spring ploughing is busy.
As the carriage came all the way, she looked at the people and cattle in the field, and pulled the plough with great difficulty, which greatly reduced the efficiency of ploughing, which showed that the Quyuan plow had not yet been introduced.
There is a drawing system mall in the Quyuan plow, but it is a little expensive, and it costs 1000 energy points.
However, with a reward of 10,000 energy points, Xu Yin did not hesitate to exchange a blueprint for an improved lightweight Quyuan plow.
"Mama, can we buy land here?"
"Here? In Baiyue County? It's better to buy it again in Baigui County. Mama Feng thought for a while and added, "Perhaps, the prince has already placed Zhuangzi." β
Xu Yin does not have the idea that "men's things are men's, and hers is her own". If King Jinnan was willing to contribute his Zhuangzi to herself, she would have saved money to buy land.
It's justβ
"His Zhuangzi must have been farming, and I wanted to buy a few acres of wasteland, and you know that I had never farmed before, and although I had read a lot of idle books, it was all on paper. In order not to waste, let's start with the wasteland. β
Didn't she buy a lot of seeds along the way, as long as they were available in the system mall, they were all replaced with excellent seeds produced by the system, to see if she could cultivate high-yield and high-quality crops that could be planted in batches in Nanban.
At this moment, she is extremely grateful to the peasant girl for her farming experience in that life, and it is now a precious treasure!
β¦β¦
The county guards of the five counties of Nanban have arrived at the capital city of Bagui County one after another at this moment, waiting for the summons of King Jinnan.
Among these five people, the one who least welcomed the arrival of King Jinnan was the county guards of hundreds of Yue and Minyue counties.
One of them is named Liu Cheng and the other is Wang Zhihai, they are cousins, and they are relatives of a concubine in the emperor's harem.
Earlier, the two families were poor and clanging commoners, and the so-called one person ascended to heaven - as his cousin was selected into the harem by the emperor who went out of the palace for summer vacation, they followed and picked up an official and a half-job.
Nanban who others don't want to come, they can't ask for it.
Here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it's not too convenient to collect money or anything.
The people are poor, and they have to pay taxes, right?
Over the years, they have enriched their own pockets by increasing taxes indiscriminately, and built their respective mansions to be more magnificent than the palace compound.
The emperor didn't know, thinking that the taxes of the Nanban were pitiful, and it didn't matter if there was one, so he pretended to have a big belly and gave it to the abolished prince.
Once this is a fief, only half of the taxes of the land need to be handed over to the state treasury, and the remaining half has to be reserved for the owner of the fief.
"Do you think King Jinnan will send someone to check our accounts?" Liu Cheng walked around with an impatient expression, "After checking, isn't it easy to find out what we did?" Do you and I still have good fruit to eat? β
Wang Zhihai also had a headache, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a countermeasure, and he couldn't help but show a fierce light: "It's better to simply ...... it"
He made a gesture of raising and dropping his knife.
Liu Cheng shook his head: "No!" The Yanzi team with the followers is all strong in martial arts, and it is difficult for ordinary masters of the rivers and lakes to pass a few moves from them. But the top masters, you and I have no way. β
"Then what should I do according to my cousin?"
Liu Cheng thought about it and said: "It's better to do this, first smooth out the account that is too obvious." β
It means that the tax deducted this year will be returned first, as long as it can be concealed from King Jinnan, it is nothing to lose income for the time being.
But when I think of it in the future, I may always have only the humble money of the county guard, and there will be no extra money to make as before, and I can't help but be irritable, I can't wait for King Jinnan to die on a horse and never reach the fiefdom!
Suddenly, Liu Cheng came up with an idea: "There you have it!" Did he never take a concubine? The position of the main concubine is cheaper, and the two side concubines are still empty? Find an opportunity for your wife to show her face with the girl from the house...... Men, it's rare to see a woman with a good appearance who doesn't feel itchy......"
The two looked at each other and smiled smugly, as if they had won the battle.
In the next room, the county guards of the other three counties were not as bold as these two.
They also faintly looked forward to the arrival of King Jinnan.
"Our county is poor! There are also often mountain bandits. The chief of Qianzhong County sighed, "The mountain bandits are rampant and domineering, and the people are having a hard time!" β
Baipu County Shou echoed: "Why not our county!" I heard that King Jinnan has a clear distinction between love and hate, loves the people, and hates lawbreakers, and hopes that he can deter the fierce mountain bandits, and the people can live a stable life. β
In addition to the beautiful words, there is also an unfinished semantic: the law and order in the jurisdiction is good, follow the queen of Jinnan to make some political achievements, and strive to change to a richer county at the end of the three-year period, it will be more perfect!
The county guard of Baigui County stroked his beard, smiled helplessly, and didn't say anything.
He thinks differently from these two colleagues.
He not only hoped that the arrival of King Jinnan would kill the greed of Liu Cheng and Wang Zhihai, but also worried that King Jinnan would be in the same boat with those two goods.
What about loving the people before? Now he is just a waste prince who has lost the emperor's heart, and he was demoted by the emperor to a barren land like Nanban, is there any further possibility?
Who can stand such a gap?
He estimated that King Jinnan would inevitably have no intention of revenge in his heart, but he could not leave the fief without the imperial edict, who else could retaliate except the people of Nanban?
In short, the five county guards have their own thoughts.
