Chapter Eighty-Three: Sell a few famous sayings

With a word, Princess Pingyang asked Sang Hongyang and other officials of the Great Agricultural Order to move to the fields, guarding the fifty acres of newly sown millet all day and night.

A few people did it themselves, cut down some wood, built a few shacks to live in, not only to carefully care for the crops but also to drive away hares, pheasants, wild dogs and so on, which made Yang Chuan very comfortable.

Especially when he inspected the fiefdom and watched the officials of the Han Empire change into the coarse linen clothes of the peasants, roll up their trouser legs high, and work tirelessly in their fields, he couldn't help but step forward to talk for a while, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, like a benevolent family master who treats his servants well.

As for eating, he is not too stingy, and every day he asks people to send two large buckets of slurry water, plus a few pots of bitter herbs, alfalfa, cabbage and other pickled cold vegetables.

On days when you're in a good mood, you can even add a few meat buns......

……

Yang Chuan's days passed unhurriedly, and the seedlings of millet grew together.

At the same time, the vegetables in other plots have also begun to slowly improve, especially cabbage, radish, rape, alfalfa and coriander, etc., which are growing gratifyingly.

This time, Sang Hongyang and several other officials did not say a word about Yang Chuan's 'nonsense', and watched this little thief 'waste the good land of the big man in vain'.

The little abacus in their hearts is actually obvious, if the millet after the wheat stubble can ripen, no matter how blind Yang Chuan is, it will be fine;

However, once these fifty acres of millet could not be ripened before the frost, there was no need for a big peasant order to act, and only a fart when the emperor was angry could blast the thief into a pile of ashes.

Yang Chuan didn't care about this.

Wheat stubble planting millet has been repeatedly verified in later generations, it is completely feasible, plus two thousand years of Guanzhong land, abundant rain, sunshine enough, than the agricultural conditions of later generations are several times better!

The biggest headache for him is still pests and diseases.

Vegetables and vegetables are good things, not only Yang Chuan knows, but even the insects in those fields.

Therefore, in a large area of vegetable fields, all kinds of insects are everywhere, red, white, green, flowery, one by one, the belly is round and round, sometimes, some fat insects climb to the tree on the edge of the ridge, and one accidentally rolls down from above.

With a 'horn', it will be smashed into a puddle of rotten meat, which is simply fat.

Seeing that the good vegetables and vegetables have become a paradise for all kinds of fat insects, Yang Chuan was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, and sent all the servants out to catch insects, but the result was naturally that it was useless at all.

"Isn't it just some vegetables and vegetables, and they are not valuable, let the insects also touch your Yang Chuan's light, and live a good life for a few days."

The insect infestation in the vegetable field made Yang Chuan's mouth blister, but Cao Xiang didn't care, and said a few cool words from time to time: "If you make a few new things to make ice in the hot summer, and sell them all to Cao Xiang at a high price, won't there be a lot of gold?"

You can't make a lot of money growing vegetables, and anyway, except for pickling into pickles, it's useless at all. ”

Yang Chuan didn't think so.

He now has a huge underground ice storage, and he is currently organizing people to expand it, and around that ice storage, more than a dozen extremely spacious corridors have been excavated, which is actually equivalent to a large cold storage.

Isn't growing vegetables worthwhile? A rich man like Cao Xiang knows a fart!

In the middle of winter, even the emperor could only eat a few bites of salty and astringent salted leeks, which shows that the dietary level of the Han Empire needs to be improved urgently.

Think about it, in the entire Chang'an City, plus the rich land in the Guanzhong area, thousands of large and small landlords, each family spends one or two catties of gold to purchase fresh vegetables and vegetables of the Yang Chuan family, what is that concept?

It's a pity that in this primitive ecological environment, pests and diseases are simply excessive, in just ten days, dozens of acres of cabbage and rape have been plagued by insects.

Tattered and miserable, it is almost a true portrayal of Yang Chuan's vegetable field......

Yang Chuan was in a hurry, his mouth was full of bubbles, and his thin monkey-like figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

He took Sister Leopard and six silly eagles to wander around for nearly 100 miles for several days, looking for several sulfur mines and limestone mines, but he could not dig quickly due to various conditions, and his plan of 'stone sulfur mixture insecticide' was in vain.

On this day, he squatted on the edge of a vegetable patch, listening to the sound of insects 'rustling' eating vegetables, his face was loveless, and he couldn't help but scold: "Drafted uncle, you bed bugs, why do you bully people like this?" ”

"Look at it, there are delicious wild flowers and weeds all around, why do you only like to eat the vegetables of this cook?"

"By the way, eat?"

Yang Chuan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to vaguely grasp something: 'Eat, eat, eat, eat, what to eat?' Could it be that let the chef create a few new dishes, stir-fried, boiled, and stewed some fat insects to eat? ’

He recalled some common sense of pests and diseases in later generations, and gradually, he had a general idea in his heart: it is not realistic to cook insects directly.

Because, whether it's boiled green worms, stir-fried caterpillars, live egg whites or the legendary fried locusts, you have to catch them one by one, right?

Then, a different way of eating!

Chicken, duck, goose, frog......

By the way, raising chickens, ducks and geese in the fiefdom, even if there is no harvest of vegetables and vegetables, but in such a rich and humid environment, so many fresh insects and aquatic plants, it is also money to engage in a wave of breeding!

Do it when you think of it, this is Yang Chuan's consistent style.

He immediately returned to the village, found Cao Xiang, who was really bored and ran to tease the father and daughter of Tangyi, Naren Tuoya, but was chased all over the courtyard, and said straight to the point: "Cao Xiang, do you want to eat chicken?" ”

"Eat, as long as Ling Yangchuan cooks food, even if it is a bubble of, Ben Hou will swallow it without hesitation!" Cao Xiang wiped the sweat stains on his face and laughed loudly:

"Say, if you want a few catties of gold chickens, do you want pheasants or Luhua chickens, let's send servants to Chang'an City to purchase!"

"Chickens, ducks and geese, no matter how big or small, buy them all." Yang Chuan also laughed, "You Cao Xiang bragged all day long, you Pingyang Hou Cao's family is rich and rampant in the world, my son wants to see how many chickens, ducks and geese you can give us."

By the way, even eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs will do.

As long as you complete this important thing, Ben Gongzi will write a good article for you that will be famous for eternity, how about it? ”

Cao Xiang looked constipated, vomited a few times, and scolded with a smile: "Yang Chuan, thief, don't be disgusting, how can there be a few good articles in this Han world that can be passed down through the ages?" Why, you kid still don't believe it?

When I get better, I'll take you to Chang'an City, let you see Sima Xiangru's gang of bullshit readers, and make sure you are drowsy and can't remember a word, hahaha. ”

Yang Chuan glanced at Cao Xiang with disdain: "People are called Han Dafu, what they pay attention to is a pile of rhetoric, gorgeous rhetoric, neat arrangement, you are an illiterate person who knows a fart!" ”

Cao Xiang shook his head vigorously, and scolded with a bitter face: "Thousands of words are sprinkled, and it is a request if people don't understand!" ”

Yang Chuan, the biggest salt dealer in the Han Empire, was really helpless, so he had to continue to bewitch: "As long as you can get enough eggs of chickens, ducks, geese and all kinds of poultry, like famous sayings and aphorisms such as those who are guilty of offending strong men, even if they are far away, I will sell you a few more ......"

Cao Xiang shouted fiercely: "Wait! ”

"Yang Chuan yes, what did you just say? Those who are guilty of strong men...... What's wrong with the fact that you have to be killed? Annoyed Yang Chuanye said it again, Ben Hou didn't remember it. ”

Yang Chuan said expressionlessly: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away." ”

Cao Xiang cheered: "Okay, deal!" ”
