Chapter 121: Qu Yuan
Gongsun Yan knew his reaction, and hurriedly stopped him from kneeling down and crying at this moment.
"Can Steward Zhou go to the treasury to see it?"
"W-What?" Zhou Xing was confused by Gongsun Yan's sudden question.
Even if he is in charge, he will not often go to the treasury to check, not to mention that he has handed over all the account books and keys of the treasury to Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi has also accepted the painting, so he will no longer cause criticism.
"Why don't you go to the treasury later?" Gongsun Yan decided to reveal the newly purchased grain in the treasury a little.
Zhao Yun collaborated with Zhao Xi to bring back hundreds of truckloads of things from a valley.
Of course, these will not be all the things that Gongsun Yan bought in the system trader, but they are just to cover up people's eyes and find an excuse.
The real big ones are the discounted broken rice and corn that Gongsun Yan bought.
Especially corn, the price of 1,000 material points per ton after the discount, Gongsun Yan, who is currently carrying 150,000 material points, simply bought out his hand, and all of them were hoarded into the original Guzhu Mansion under the cover of hundreds of truckloads of materials.
If it weren't for the fact that the old treasury really couldn't be put down, and the new treasury hadn't been built yet, she couldn't help but take advantage of the discount to hoard some more.
At present, half of the newly stored grain is eaten with broken rice, old grain, beans and wheat and half corn, which is enough to cope with two or three months.
However, as long as half of the population in the village can be fed because of the food provided by Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan will be able to have 5 points/person of material points in the account every day.
As long as she enters a virtuous circle, she will not lack a little rice from now on.
It's just that she can't tell Zhou Xing about this situation.
I had to tell him to go and see for himself, the new rice grain in the treasury, so that he knew that they had a source of rice and grain, and he didn't have to worry about it.
Knowing that he had already submitted the key to the treasury, Gongsun Yan took out a note from the pile of paper on his right, wrote a pass, and after stamping her small seal, he asked him to go and see the voucher for himself, a little relieved.
The source of the new rice grain is naturally pushed to Gongsun Zhan, but in the future, Zhao Xi will fully control the Guzhu Manor, and the future of materials will be better covered.
As for whether the story of Gongsun Zhan's great secret treasure will be spread many years later, she can't control it for the time being.
"Steward Zhou, let's go to the workshop with me first." Gongsun Yan stopped worrying, took a note and was about to leave Zhou Xing, and invited him to go to the workshop together.
There are arrangements for the tribe and the shade households in the village, and Gongsun Yan will naturally not miss the hundreds of craftsmen in the village.
These 100 craftsmen with family skills are the foundation for the proper functioning of the dock and the estate, and are a very important asset to every family.
Therefore, unlike the military households that were transferred to the military households and the Yin households that were released to Lulong County in the future to reclaim and farm, these hundred artisan households, Gongsun Yan did not intend to let them break away from the manor in a short period of time.
She did not change Zhou Xing's original planned production area, but only classified several courtyards on the edge of the main house as temporary workshops, and summoned the skilled blacksmith and carpenter in the village to learn how to make plowshares with Zhao Xi.
Hearing that Gongsun Yan was going to the workshop, Alain, who had been serving in the study, hurried out to arrange the walk.
Gongsun Yan didn't want to waste so much labor on the maintenance of the mansion.
It's just that whether it is the maids and servants who sweep in the house, or these powerful men who carry steps, they have been attending classes at night for many days to listen to Zhao Xi's enlightenment, which can be regarded as a good start.
Gongsun Yan planned not to abolish it for the time being, and when they had more words, he would have a seven-day training class or something like that, and select the best and delegate them to the grassroots level to serve as the small management of the manufacturing workshop or market at the grassroots level.
The distance from the main courtyard to the workshop is not short, and when Gongsun Yan came to the workshop with Zhou Xing, Zhao Xi was taking a few craftsmen to experiment with the Quyuan plow in the courtyard.
Along the way, the garden is full of good scenery of spring revival.
When I walked into the workshop, the garden was bare, and the flowers and trees that had been planted were uprooted and stacked aside, presumably with the intention of planting them elsewhere.
The garden was so messy and bare that Zhou Xing closed his eyes in distress.
Zhao Xi was dressed in short brown, his trousers were rolled up, and he was whispering something to the two craftsmen with old faces who couldn't estimate their age.
The two craftsmen stood with their hands tied, listening very respectfully, nodding from time to time.
Now no one in the village knows that the new chief steward Zhao Xi is a knowledgeable and truly educated gentleman.
No matter who you are or how lowly your status is, he never cherishes himself with a broom and teaches the same way.
Hearing the greetings from the guards outside the door, Zhao Xi looked up and saw Gongsun Yan walking in with Alan and Zhou.
"Little lady." Zhao Xi still had some dirty hands twisting his beard, smiling, greeting first, looking at Gongsun Yan's kind and loving expression like an elder.
In recent days, as he gets along with everyone, his personality simulation has become smoother and smoother, and he no longer has the same stiffness as before.
Even, occasionally Zhao Xi and Zhao Yun meet in a busy situation, Zhao Xi will really be like an uncle, telling Zhao Yun to eat well no matter how busy he is, and read less books when the light is low, so as not to hurt his eyes.
Looking at Zhao Yun's expression at that time, he had obviously forgotten Zhao Xi's original strange and unknown origin, and he was really as respectful as an uncle.
When treating Gongsun Yan, he is not only a loyal steward, but also a caring elder, and he is just right.
If it weren't for Gongsun Yan's system to check his identity, even she would almost forget that Zhao Xi was not a real person.
"Uncle Zhao." Seeing him say hello, Gongsun Yan also responded with a smile.
After greeting Gongsun Yan, Zhao Xi greeted Zhou Xing again, and even Alan greeted him, looking like a courtesan, how could he still be stiff on the first day.
"Mr. Zhao." Compared with Gongsun Yan, who was a little casual, Zhou Xing and Alan's response was much more formal, and for them, Zhao Xi was a real gift.
The two craftsmen who listened to Zhao Xi's explanation also knew that the lady in front of them was the lady of the main family, and they lowered their heads in greeting with some trepidation.
"Uncle Zhao, two masters, how is the production of Quyuan plow?"
In fact, the production progress of Quyuan plow, Gongsun Yan can be viewed from the system.
But recently, in the face of Zhao Xi, who is becoming more and more natural and humane, Gongsun Yan is trying to communicate with him as much as possible beyond the system.
She once asked Zhao Xi if she dreams at night?
Zhao Xi's answer made her stunned and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
He said that he dreamed of the old mansion in Changshan's hometown, his father and brother, and Zhao Yun's childhood.
Gongsun Yan had goosebumps all over her body at that time, and at that time she really felt that a random setting she had created something might have been created.
She also understands why the user notice emphasizes that the system manager is not a real person, and warns the system not to expect too much from the simulated personality of the system manager.
In the end, she decided to ignore what users need to know, which sometimes doesn't matter so much to whether she's true or not.
Since that day, she has tried to stop using the system and communicate as normally as she does now.
"Little lady, please look!"
Zhao Xi had a smug smile on his face and pointed to the zigyuan plow that had fallen into the garden soil.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was already a plough pulled by oxen, and the plough wall was developed on the basis of the predecessors in the Western Han Dynasty, but the plough at this time was mostly a coupling plough of two oxen and one plow.
The ploughshare was more light and flexible, and the Tang Dynasty Quyuan plough appeared in the Han Dynasty in advance because of the wings of butterflies.
Don't look at the change from a long yuan to a short yuan, but it can greatly liberate animal power.
Lone Bamboo Manor is located in the Northland, but the Northland is mostly a nomadic economy due to the climate and environment.
However, there is still a shortage of ploughing cattle for cultivating and pulling ploughs, and horses are used to replace ploughing cattle all year round.
Due to the problem of horse breed, the transport capacity and endurance are not as good as that of ploughing oxen, and a straight plough for spring ploughing often needs four horses to replace.
Horses are relatively delicate and fierce among livestock, so spring plowing is a problem in the north.
However, with the Quyuan plow, the situation will be different, and it will spread to the whole Han Dynasty, and the farming environment will be greatly improved.
And the curved plough is only the first topic of the workshop, and then it is still necessary to transform the suspended mouldboard plough according to the characteristics of animal power in the village.
With the credibility of high-yielding sweet potatoes, it will no longer be as difficult to promote new farming tools and crops such as corn.
