At the same time, the convoy of Jinnan Wangfu finally entered the boundary of Baigui County before nightfall, and stayed in a small village called Yunshanzhai nearby.

The houses here are all bamboo.

Xu Yin had never lived in a bamboo building before, so she was quite curious about it.

In this era, there was no glass, and the windows of the post station where I lived before were made of yellowed coarse paper, and the villages at the foot of the strange mountain and the bamboo buildings in front of them were all curtains, hand-woven straw curtains or bamboo curtains.

Xu is located in the south of the barbarians, the humidity is heavy, and the paper-paste windows are easy to be damp and mildew.

Of course, it is not excluded that the price of paper is too expensive, and the local people can't even eat enough, so they can't afford it.

Xu Yin rubbed the tip of her chin, she had a glass formula, and she was anonymously dedicated to the emperor of the current dynasty when she was a peasant girl.

It's just that Yanhua's emperor doesn't seem to be very good.

Less than a year after the death of the first queen, the biological mother of the eldest prince, who was also a favored concubine, was promoted to the second queen.

If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince at that time won the hearts of the people and had military exploits, he might have been deposed ten years ago.

Although he still has a title and a fief now, it is the great military exploits he has accumulated over the years, so that the emperor really can't find enough reason to push him to the end at once.

How can King Jinnan say that he is also her nominal husband, the emperor treats him like this, if she is a wife and still offers the glass formula, isn't it the same as being slapped on the left side of the face, and stretching the right side of the face forward for people to continue to fan?

It's better to find an opportunity to give King Jinnan, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

While pondering, Xu Yin leaned in front of the window to watch the evening scene outside the bamboo building. Behind the buildings, Zhushan becomes a sea, and further north, it is still the Nanling Mountain Range, which is more continuous than Baiyue County.

This bamboo forest is like a natural barrier, blocking the miasma that is wanton in the Nanling.

"Is it because it's far away from the strange mountain, so the popularity here is relatively better? Because of the lack of fear? Xu Yin asked Mama Feng.

Mama Feng wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say anything."

"The old slave is also hearsay." Mama Feng leaned into Xu Yin's ear and said the gossip she heard from the guards, "It is said that the taxes in Baiyue County are higher than those in other counties, and the lives of the people are more difficult than those in other counties. ”

Xu Yin was surprised: "Isn't the tax unified?" ”

"The old slave also heard about it."

Xu Yin groaned: "You can hear about it, presumably King Jinnan has also heard about it, I don't know how he reacts." Maybe I'm looking for locals to inquire about the tax situation at this time......"

Yan Kejin was indeed as Xu Yin guessed, and was summoning the owner of Yunshan Cottage in the camp.

The owner of the village didn't know Yan Kejin's identity, but he was a noble person in the Central Plains, and he wanted to go to the capital of Baigui County.

Waiting for the owner of the village to leave, Yan Qi expressed his opinion: "The county guard of Baigui County, it sounds good. ”

Yan Kejin rubbed the clear white porcelain cup with her fingertips, and chuckled: "It's good to raise taxes indiscriminately without eating inside and out?" Your request is a little lower. ”

Yan Qi lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "The subordinates are overdistanced." ”

Yan Kejin waved her hand and asked casually, "How is she over there?" Are you settled? ”

The implication: didn't make a fuss, did you?

Yan Qi: "Speaking of which, the princess seems to be quite satisfied with the house here, and she took the maid upstairs as soon as she came, and she has never come down." ”

Xu Yin was not satisfied, and before dinner time, she took a charcoal pen to list the uses of the bamboo forest and pondered the bamboo industry.

Different kinds of bamboo shoots in different seasons can be eaten fresh, dried, and canned.

There is also bamboo sun, and the chicken soup is so delicious.

Bamboo itself is also very versatile, in addition to building houses and making furniture, handicrafts and daily necessities can also be made of bamboo.

Burning bamboo charcoal can also be made into activated charcoal powder packets, handmade carbon soap or something......

In this way, the entire bamboo mountain behind Yunshanzhai is like a cornucopia.

In Xu Yin's writing and painting room, the maids carried food boxes and crockpots upstairs, and it was time for dinner.

"Girl, these dishes are made by the husband of the palace, and these dishes are sent by the host of the stay, can you see if they are appetizing?"

Xu Yin looked at it and was happy.

Isn't it the bamboo chicken soup she just craved in the crockpot?

The chicken is a domestic chicken raised in the bamboo forest, and it is stewed with bamboo sunflower and is super delicious.

There is also a special dish in the village - bamboo fragrant rice.

The other dishes are meals sent by the prince, all of which are dishes of the taste of Beijing.

Xu Yin couldn't help but move her taste buds, and immediately beckoned Mama Feng and the maids to eat together.

After eating and drinking, Mama Feng picked out a few pieces of cotton cloth and gave them to the ladies in the village as a thank you gift.

"Besides, Mama, you can ask them for me if they would like to take over the business."

She wanted to order a batch of bamboo products: bamboo plaques for silkworm raising, baskets for grain, mats and dustpans for drying dried fruits and vegetables, as well as baskets, bamboo rakes and other agricultural tools.

There are a lot of them, and if Yunshanzhai is willing to take this job, they will not be treated badly in terms of money.

After Mama Feng came back, she replied: "The girl is very kind! The top and bottom of Yunshanzhai are happy to take this job. It's just that they don't want silver, they just want to change some fabrics and condiments such as sugar and salt, you see......"

"What kind of trouble is this, answer them is." When Xu Yin heard that it was such a small request, there was no pressure, and she didn't stock up too much fabric and seasoning, "After signing the contract, which fabric and which kinds of condiments do you want, let them choose by themselves." ”

In terms of materials, the deposit and final payment do not need to be divided, and they can be paid off on the spot, and by the way, they can also reduce the burden on her huge mule and horse team.

"Let them pick after signing the deed? Don't wait for delivery? Mama Feng said in surprise. I was worried that my master would be deceived.

Xu Yin smiled: "Do you think they have the guts?" ”

Naturally, there is none.

To be able to do business with such a reasonable nobleman, Yunshanzhai can't ask for it.

When the nobles are satisfied, they will give some rewards, and it will be their income for a year of hard work.

Even if they don't give a reward, the amount of this order alone is not small, and the cloth, spices and other materials exchanged are enough for them to have a good year. Representatives were immediately elected to sign the deed.

When Yan Qi heard about it, he immediately reported it to King Jinnan.

Yan Kejin couldn't help but ponder the deep meaning behind Xu Yin's move: "Why are you ordering so many bamboo products?" Just because it's good-looking? ”

How can you not set a batch of bamboo carving ornaments? Aren't those more pleasing to the eye? What do you do with the daily necessities that only these farmers can use?

Suddenly, his heart moved.

Thinking about the grains, vegetable seeds, spring silkworms and poultry she sent people to buy along the way, isn't she preparing for these?

So, when she arrives in Fucheng, she is really ready to let people plant and breed on a large scale?

King Jinnan roughly guessed the right direction, but it was not comprehensive.

Xu Yin didn't just want the people below to reclaim and plant, she also wanted to go to the field herself, otherwise how could she mix the high-yield and high-quality top-quality seeds produced by the system with the bag of exotic seeds that Hu Shang bought unknowingly and unknowingly to try to plant together?
