Chapter Seventy-Three: It's still comfortable to farm
Yang Chuan's life finally returned to calm, and he slowly got a little bit of what he wanted.
In the middle of summer, Zhuyuantou Village is beautiful, more than 2,000 acres of fiefdom, there are more than 300 acres of bamboo forest, 50 acres of poplar forest, more than 200 acres of mulberry forest, and the rest are flat crop land, vegetable garden, now it is quite large-scale.
The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that the crops in the field were mainly millet, millet, and hemp seeds, but the wheat he wanted to sow was only about 50 acres.
There is no way, the Han Empire's Great Agricultural Order is very meticulous in managing the affairs of farming, especially in the 'directly subordinate places' such as Guanzhong and the Six Counties, which are extremely strictly controlled, and there are regulations on what crops are sown in the fields, and they are absolutely not allowed to change.
For example, at present, the planting area of millet, millet, soybeans, mulberry, and hemp is almost 33111, and the remaining 10% of the field can be used to grow wheat, vegetables and other crops.
Yang Chuan didn't know what crops were planted in the fields of other 'landlords', anyway, this was the case with his more than 2,000 acres of fertile land, which made him very uncomfortable.
In Guanzhong, wheat and soybeans are actually the most cost-effective ones right now.
Because, after the wheat is harvested around the middle of June of the lunar calendar, if the rain and moisture permit, you can also plant a crop of millet; Soybeans not only have good yields, but also can improve the soil and restore field strength.
Yang Chuan also has some seeds of flax, alfalfa, broad beans, walnuts, grapes, pomegranates, carrots and other crops that Zhang Qian brought back from the Western Regions, but he only needs to plant flax, alfalfa, and carrots at the moment.
Especially flax and alfalfa, Yang Chuan attaches great importance to them, and almost planted these two crops in some corners and corners.
Sesame can be squeezed for oil, and as a cook, it is a wonderful thing to have a spoonful of bright and fragrant sesame oil when stir-frying.
And alfalfa, with only a small amount of wheat bran, bean dregs and bone meal, is the world's first-class war horse feed......
……
Every morning, Yang Chuan would take Sister Leopard, six silly eagles and Cao Xiang to patrol around his fiefdom, and he was in a very good mood.
Especially every time I 'patrol' my territory, I go back to the big pond in front of the farm, put on my hat, and catch a few fish, the feeling is really indescribable.
This pond, which covers an area of seventy or eighty acres, was dug by Princess Pingyang, and there are a lot of fish and shrimp in it, and a lot of lotus flowers are planted, in fact, it can almost be called an 'artificial lake'.
Therefore, Yang Chuan simply named it: Mirror Lake.
At the beginning, Cao Xiang was very dissatisfied with this kind of vulgar farmer's behavior, and made a fuss several times to go back to Chang'an City, but only went back once, and was treated half to death by Princess Pingyang, and since then he simply accepted his fate.
Listening to Huo Quai, Cao Xiang is not afraid of heaven and earth, and sometimes even his uncle Liu Che dares to contradict him, just afraid of his old mother, Princess Pingyang.
In fact, Princess Pingyang's method of governing people is also very monotonous, that is, she holds her son, and then, on his thighs, buttocks, waist, ribs and other parts, pinch, twist, and pull hard...... A stick of incense is just a piece of work.
After two months of conditioning, most of the lead poison in Cao Xiang's body was removed, although it was still like an ugly bean sprout, but the complexion on his face was getting better day by day, and even his cheeks began to be rosy.
This guy is also a ruthless person, when he knew that Yang Chuan's 'diet therapy method' could save his life, he was obedient to Yang Chuan.
As long as it is stipulated by Yang Chuan, it can be done 100%; As long as Yang Chuan forbids it, even if Princess Pingyang says it, he can not listen to it, and he will go back with a sentence of 'Yang Chuan said'.
The only thing that Cao Xiang was dissatisfied with was that Yang Chuan turned all his twelve dancers into 'cooks', and made them all wear leggings and white coats, and each of them wore a sky-blue hat on their heads, and left a cruel sentence: Whoever dares to hook up with Cao Xiang and pull and pull will be handed over to Princess Pingyang to deal with.
At first, Cao Xiang was very irritable.
Because, after he found out that those dancers became 'kitchen girls', after wearing the leggings, white coats and blue hats designed by Yang Chuan for them, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Especially the seemingly simple, casually folded hat like a turban, tucking up their silky hair, revealing white ears and slender necks, is simply beautiful.
Yang Chuan said that kind of hat is called a 'nurse's hat'......
"Yang Chuan, how long will I have to drink this shrimp and wild vegetable soup?"
On this day, Yang Chuan took Sister Leopard's family, six silly eagles and Cao Xiang, and after inspecting his territory, he sat by the mirror lake to fish, Cao Xiang said with a bitter face: "Benhou hasn't eaten roasted whole sheep for a long time. ”
"In addition, Ben Hou hasn't visited the Qinglou for more than two months."
"Also, those twelve chefs, can you ...... tonight?"
Yang Chuan turned his head, looked at Cao Xiang with a smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll write to your mother and ask her to take you back, you can do whatever you want." ”
Cao Xiang scolded with a bitter face: "Okay, okay, I don't dare, okay?" How do I feel, your kid is my mother's own child, you are kind and obedient, you are either pinched or twisted by my own son, and if you don't agree with you, you will be cured to death......
Alas, I can't live this day. ”
Yang Chuan sighed: "You guy, you really don't know how blessed you are, and you have an old lady to control you, what a happy thing it should be." ”
"Okay, see that the residual poison in your body is almost cleared, so let's eat with me from today on."
Cao Xiang was overjoyed, and turned over: "I want to eat sauced beef, and I also want to eat stir-fried lamb tripe, by the way, what is the flower chicken you ate with Huo Quzhi last time, and cook three or five for Benhou......"
Then, his voice slowly lowered, and looking at Yang Chuan's face that seemed to be smiling, Cao Xiang was inexplicably a little deflated.
At the same time, there is some anger.
Huo Quzhi is right, this face of Yang Chuan's thief, Zhente Niang's underbeating, is clearly a standing peeing, why is a face so handsome......
"Forget it, I'll eat whatever you tell me to eat." Cao Xiang sat down dejectedly, "When my illness is completely cured, we will also marry Jinlan, you thief is not allowed to refuse." ”
Yang Chuan was stunned and said, "Why do you want it?" Who am I marrying Jinlan with? ”
"Huo Quai, you still want to hide it from me?" Cao Xiang scolded very dissatisfied: "That little between the two of you, do you still need me to tell it?" Wrong......
Yang Chuan, you honestly confess, did you and Huo Qubing marry Jin Lan, or did you have another hidden secret?
Tsk, you two dog men, why are you as virtuous as my uncle, and you can eat both men and women? Hahaha, laugh to death, you little thief is born with clear eyebrows and white skin, but don't let my uncle see it.
Hahaha......"
Cao Xiang finally grabbed Yang Chuan's 'handle', laughed heartlessly, laughed and cried: "Yang Chuan, I, Cao Xiang, was originally a dying person, and you saved my life!"
From now on, in Chang'an City, which dog dares to bully you, I Cao Xiang will kill him with a household registration book! ”
Yang Chuan stretched out his hand, rubbed Cao Xiang's huge head, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, why are you laughing and crying." ”
This guy has a virtue with Huo Quai, and he is clearly the top predator of the Han Empire, but he feels that he is a poor worm, which makes him Yang Chuan still alive......
……
Yang Chuan was at ease in his fiefdom, but he didn't know that a major event had happened in Chang'an City.
A man of culture named Sima Xiangru wrote an extremely gorgeous article, praising the emperor's wisdom and martial arts and the grandeur of Shanglin Yuan, which made Liu Che very happy.
So, Liu Che waved his pen: expand Shanglin Garden.
Judging from the planning map, Yang Chuan's fiefdom just happened to be included......
