Chapter 231: Barley
Shenjia Village is located on the border between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Western Regions, while Lishui Village belongs to the Western Regions, but it is adjacent to Shenjia Village.
Qi Heng had a locust plague in the eighth year, and the villagers of Shenjia Village were desperate, so they went over the mountains and mountains to Lishui Village to borrow sheep, and the villagers of Lishui Village tried their best to help get together 200 sheep to help Shenjia Village survive the disaster year.
Everyone did not forget this kindness, and immediately donated food.
"Yes, this favor must be repaid. I donate one stone of fine grain and two stones of potatoes. ”
"And my family, there is also one stone of fine grain and two stones of potatoes."
Everyone responded.
"Don't worry, I'll make a note of it." The village chief smiled, spread out the pen and paper and began to record.
There are a total of 50 households in Shenjia Village, one household has one stone of refined grain and two stone potatoes, so there are fifty stone of refined grain and one hundred stone of potatoes.
After the registration, the village chief called for another round, and many of those who had surplus added another stone of potatoes, increasing the total to 50 stone of refined grain and 150 stone of potatoes.
After calculating, it is still not enough, there are nearly 1,300 people in Lishui Village, and there is no surplus grain in the granary, and this time I will borrow grain to go back for the winter, otherwise there will be no food after the heavy snow closes the mountain, and I can only wait to starve to death.
But almost every household in Shenjia Village donated one stone of fine grain and three stones of potatoes, and the remaining food of each family was not much, and they also needed food for the winter.
Shen Yuyu buried his head in the calculation, a family of three hundred people, from the winter to next summer, it will take at least six or seven months, and at least five or six hundred stones of grain can be counted casually, and such a large sum of grain is not so easy to make.
Every household in Shenjia Village tried their best, but they only scraped together 200 stones.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that their cattle and sheep are starving to death, and cattle and sheep are not able to grow up in a year and a half.
Coupled with the unique geographical environment of the Western Regions, ordinary crops cannot grow in that kind of plateau area, and they can't grow anything if they want to.
As a result, this locust plague in the Western Regions is much more difficult than that of the Central Plains, and they will face no production and income for the next two or three years, and the whole country will be in a huge predicament! Unless~~~
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyu couldn't help but hook his lips, this is the only thing that can save the entire Western Regions, and it must be handed over to Ah Xun, so that he can use it to negotiate with the king of the Western Regions to obtain the greatest benefits and support.
If the King of the Western Regions is willing to submit to His Royal Highness the Night King, the court of the Great Zhou Kingdom will undergo a lot of changes.
"Village Chief." Shen Yuyu raised his hand to signal, "On behalf of the big proprietor of the world's commercial banks, I will donate 300 stone of refined grain and 200 stone of potatoes to the villagers of Lishui Village to spend the disaster year." “
As soon as Shen Yuyu's words fell, all eyes turned to this side.
The village chief of Lishui Village excitedly pushed aside the crowd and followed the voice.
"Thank you, girl, thank you, our 'Immortal Heaven' on the grassland will definitely bless you with a long life!"
Xie Wan took out a white hada and hung it solemnly around Shen Yuyu's neck, and bowed deeply and respectfully.
The village chief was busy explaining on the side, "The Tianxia Commercial Bank is the royal property of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Shen Dadong family represents the royal family!!"
The village chief of Lishui Village knelt down as soon as he heard this, "Thank you to the Great Zhou royal family, thank you to the Great Zhou Emperor, long live Emperor Qi Heng." ”
After thanking them for their kindness, the village chiefs of the two villages, as well as the patriarch Shen Yuyu and others, agreed that all the rice and grain would be collected in three days and transported to Lishui Village by waterway.
The villagers of Shenjia Village knew at this time that Shen Yuyu had become the big proprietor of the world's commercial bank, and they all admired Shen Yuyu.
Of course, except for the few families who had opinions about Shen Yuyu, Yufen Sulan Daohua, the three of them watched with their arms crossed, pouting and sneering.
"Heh~~ It's really bold, it's shameless to make a name for yourself with royal things."
"Isn't it? I don't know what means I used to become this big boss. ”
"Don't you know? Who in the whole Lingzhou doesn't know, she relied on showing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a sick illness, so she used some fox charm and climbed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become this big boss. ”
"Poof~~ What about being a big boss? If anyone in the world doesn't know that they can't do it, they will go bankrupt sooner or later. '
In the midst of the discussion, Shen Yuyu left Sunguping and returned to his yard at the foot of the North Mountain.
Bai Yixue and Ah Feng were still practicing kung fu, while Shen Yuyu returned to the main house to lock the door and enter the personal space.
After entering, he was still healed by the beautiful scenery of the countryside in the space, and then went straight to the town, and asked at the seed store in the town, and sure enough, there were barley seeds for sale, and the seed value level was seventeen, which was just right to plant.
By noon the next day, Shen Yuyu's space farm was planted with green barley. In the alpine region of the Western Regions, only planting barley can help them survive this locust plague.
At that time, let Ah Xun negotiate with the king of the Western Regions to get the greatest benefit.
In the afternoon, Shen Yuyu went to the winery, and as soon as he appeared, Uncle Shen greeted him with a smile.
"Shen girl, our winery has produced a new wine, and I want to ask you to taste it."
Shen Yu grinned and said, "Stuffed potatoes?"
"Shen girl is so smart, she can guess accurately." Uncle Shen praised with a smile, and quickly poured two small sips of wine out, "You have to drink less, otherwise~~ hehe." "This girl drank too much, and her mouth was very broken.
Shen Yu took a small sip, smacked his lips, and gave a thumbs up and praised a good wine.
"In the future, I will brew potato bars, and I will talk about grain and wine later."
"Well, the food is getting less and less, and the cost is getting higher and higher, and it's not cost-effective to brew." Uncle Shen smiled, "Besides, many people don't even have refined food to eat, so it's a bit inhumane for us to use to make wine." '
"Isn't it? Uncle said that he went to Youyou's heart, leave me four jars of stuffed potatoes tomorrow, and I will go to the county. ”
This day was the day when Ah Feng returned to the academy, and the three of them packed up early in the morning and prepared to go back to the county.
"Let's go to the winery and get some jars of wine first." Shen Yuyu instructed Bai Yixue, who was driving the car.
After leaving Wantian County for so long, I haven't seen Dean Yao and Sun County for a long time, so I must bring them two jars of good wine.
"Okay." Bai Yixue responded, and did not forget to explain to Shen Yuyu, "I have also sent wine to them every time these days, and Dean Yao and Sun Guling have been talking about you when they come back." ”
I came to the distillery and loaded the wine, and then went to the prefecture.
After entering the city, he went straight to Qinglin Academy, and as soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the academy, Dean Yao came out with his beard.
"Shen girl? Shen girl?" Before the car stopped, Dean Yao leaned over with his hands behind his back and lifted the curtain of the car.
"Does Dean Yao know how to sniff with his nose? How else do you know I'm back?" Shen Yuyu jumped out of the car with a smile and pulled Dean Yao's gray beard with a grin.
"This girl~~ is just like Ah Feng, and she loves to pull my old man's beard." After speaking, he explained, "I met Yonglu on the street yesterday, and he said that you came back two days earlier~~~"
"On the street? Which street? Wanhua Street?" Shen Yu smiled happily.
"This kid is not serious." Dean Yao said as he looked into the carriage, "Yo? What kind of wine is this? Sizzle~~ It seems to taste different from before. ’
