Chapter 204: The "Defeat" in the Snow
The old woman was stunned all day.
It wasn't until she returned to her house that her son welcomed her in worriedly, worried about whether there was anything wrong with her, and heard her son's voice that she came back to her senses.
Then he saw that he was carrying a cloth bag with a heavy thirty liters of polished rice.
opened the cloth bag, and there was still her relief money on top of the rice-
After buying rice and cloth bags, she had seven gold left, and fifty bronze ones were half hanged.
"Auntie, is it really true that you are calling outside? They didn't embarrass you? Will you really give you money and food? ”
Her son was so excited that he almost shook his wife unconscious!
The old woman nodded blankly, and suddenly thought of something, she stammered to her son:
"It's by the person, not by the household, son, they don't enforce military service, you can ...... too"
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man who had been afraid to go out for nearly two months in order to avoid military service broke out in an instant!
……
Yongzhou, Sinong Temple Affairs Mansion.
Ma Changchang paced back and forth hundreds of times in the mansion, almost fainting from the officials in the mansion.
"Eh, why hasn't this Zu Wenyuan come back yet? I'm looking for him! ”
It seemed to say that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and not long after his words fell, Zu Wenyuan ran back to the Si Nong Temple Mansion excitedly.
The first thing to do is pack your things! Get ready to go!
"Huh! What do you do? Ma Chang watched his behavior for a while, and suddenly realized that he was packing up his things, and hurriedly leaned over to stop him.
"My lord, Your Majesty summoned me to perform my duties in the Guozijian and the young eunuch of the Guozijian!"
"These days! Thanks to the help of adults! ”
There is no emotion in a polite remark, if he had wings, he would like to fly to the national prison immediately!
Ma Changyuan was already full of worries, and as soon as he heard Zu Wenyuan actually leave his words, he wanted to leave, and he immediately became angry:
"Okay, you Zu Wenyuan! When is Sinong Temple? Come and go as you want? ”
"At the beginning, the officials were very noisy because of you! Or Zhao Shangshu withstood all kinds of pressure! Please leave you in our Sinong Temple! You're what you are today! ”
"Good ......"
"Don't be angry, adults," Zu Wenyuan is here after all, knowing that his young boss is still the age of blood and strength, and he also has a way to quench people's anger:
"Are you anxious about the Shangyuan Festival?"
"The lower officials have ideas, but I don't know if the adults want to listen to them?"
really pierced his heart with a sentence, Ma Changchang couldn't suppress his temper because of this incident, so he pretended to be impatient and said:
"Say."
Zu Wenyuan's brain was trained in mathematics, and he immediately picked up the abacus with a smile, and said while crackling:
"There are 500,000 people in Yongzhou, 400,000 soldiers of the forbidden army, and the total consumption of polished rice is 10,000 stones, which is not a problem."
"If this news spreads to the local area, people from all over the world will join in the excitement during the Shangyuan Festival...... For the time being, 300,000 yuan will require a total of 15,000 koku of polished rice. ”
"The number of polished rice stones in my warehouse is 37.5 million, and the scale of the inventory is very large."
"If it is consumed directly, it is too much of a loss."
"Do you know what the price of polished rice in Chen and Qi is now? At least twenty dollars, if the adults can try to trade with Chen Guo and Qi Guo, with retro practices, no money, only barter, cloth is forgotten, I have a lot of Zhou! ”
"As long as the two of them exchange meat for meat, even if the polished rice of my Zhou Kingdom is only worth ten yuan, it can be exchanged for a huge scale of meat!"
"Although this is much more expensive than raising it yourself, but the mountains and forests in Chen Guo are crisscrossed, and Chen Guo has the habit of eating 'black-faced gods', exchanging rice for large-scale 'black-faced gods', the big ones are used to eat, and the small ones are raised, which is greatly beneficial to the Department of Maintenance!"
"In addition, if the adults are bold, the Turks can also consider it!"
"Although the Turks are barbarians, their people are nomadic, and rice can even be exchanged for one of its weights by three of its weights, which can save half of the feed consumption than my personal feeding department!"
"And winter is the time when the livestock raised by the Turkic barbarians grows up, only in winter, and the Turks in other seasons cannot eat because of the lack of rations and the livestock has not yet grown, so they should not be close to each other, so as to prevent the occurrence of robbery and plunder."
"In addition, Yangzhou City borders Huaizhou, and Huaizhou is near the sea, although the people of my Zhou Kingdom rarely eat meat in their lives, but fish is a thing that they have never had the opportunity to eat in their lives!"
"The fish in Huaizhou is quite cheap, you can try to trade with Huaizhou in Yangzhou to Qi State, and exchange rice grain for sea fish!"
"All in all, bring cheap cattle and sheep to the north, black-faced gods (pigs) to the south, exchange sea fish to the east, and invite the people to eat meat on the Shangyuan Festival!"
"In April of the next year, the people will harvest again, and at that time, the grain storage in Sinong Temple will have to consider how to clear the warehouse, rather than being afraid of not enough, hehe."
The words made Ma Changchang, a farmer who had spent the first half of his life sown and harvested in the soil, and was stunned when he heard it.
"Hmph, Shinong Industry and Commerce, Shang is the lowest, and he actually proposed that I do business in the Great Zhou Sinong Temple!"
"Self-falling!"
Zu Wenyuan, who has traveled to the Central Plains for more than 40 years and knows the similarities and differences of the Central Plains, thinks about the interaction between what is available and what is not available and the interaction of food culture.
How did it become self-deprecated?
This kind of incomprehension, Zu Wenyuan has long been used to it, it was Yuwen Shihong who gave him the illusion, thinking that he could finally be understood by the world.
It turned out that it was just Yuwen Shihong, his majesty, and that's it, others still wouldn't understand him.
He didn't say anything more, raised his hand and bowed his hand to say goodbye, then picked up the only abacus to take away and left Sinong Temple.
……
After trying to make paper from bamboo, Guozijian really has a new achievement!
Compared with Zuobo paper, which is made by crushing and drying rattan hemp, the bamboo pulp paper made of bamboo pulp has finer fibers and smoother!
What's more, bamboo forests are everywhere, and bamboo grows at a very fast rate!
In the future, if the paper is made of bamboo, the vine hemp planted can be used to weave cloth!
Not to mention that the cost of paper has fallen again and again, even the price of cloth will continue to fall thanks to the improvement of paper!
People can spend less and more money when they buy cloth!
A group of officials in the Paper Department looked at the freshly dried bamboo pulp paper in front of them!
Under the sun, the color of the paper can be called snow white!
A boiling sound echoed in the Paper Department!
I saw an old man in a crimson official robe standing outside the Paper Department, and the officials in the office bowed.
Thinking that his person was here to receive the special things needed for the newspaper, this convenience was taken out of the paper library and placed at Zu Wenyuan's feet with a "bang".
And only then did he extend a polite hand to him:
"Please show me the official charm."
Zu Wenyuan felt inexplicably happy, and laughed for a while before responding:
"I am the new young eunuch of the country, Zu Chongzhi."
