Seeing Sang Hongyang and other big peasant officials coming, Yang Chuan suddenly understood what these people wanted to do.

To put it mildly, it is called 'inspection work', which is nothing more than running over to point fingers, eating and drinking, pulling and pulling, and there is no effect on fart, and you have to take care of your partiality.

It's not good to say, it's a special mother who is here to make political achievements.

In a word, they are all running to take advantage.

Yang Chuan's fiefdom has long exceeded his original imagination, and in fact, it can no longer be said to be a farm, but should be called an 'imperial farm'.

Think about it, except for Liu Che, Princess Pingyang, Cao Xiang, Gongsun Hong and other 'big dogs', who can have nearly 200,000 acres of fertile land along the river and contiguous areas?

200,000 acres of fertile land!

A radius of 100 miles.

Isn't it an 'imperial farm' in Yang Chuan's hands?

Moreover, because of the background of the emperor, the imperial court and the top powerful families, coupled with the popular Yuanshuo waterwheel, Yuanshuo water mill and Han plow, as well as Yang Chuan, a 'big Han farmer' who is very good at farming......

The officials of the Great Agricultural Order, who doesn't want to come and take a look, and point fingers at the 'one or two'? So as to write a strong stroke on your 'resume'?

No way, this is one of the other traditions of the Han Empire:

The results were made, and the officials of the Great Agricultural Order were well guided, and they were all happy; There was a mistake, and it was Yang Chuan who did not do a good job in some details.

It's just a, nothing new.

The reason why Yang Chuan wanted to 'invite guests to dinner' was really not his temporary idea, but he wanted to change his cooking technique and make the hard dish of 'Jiazi Field Camp' more sumptuous......

……

"Less Shangzao, Sang Hongyang is bothered."

This time, Sang Hongyang was very polite, and after turning over and dismounting, he immediately smiled and said: "I heard that you are seizing the time for spring ploughing, and the big farmer is very concerned, so I specially ordered Sang Hongyang to lead all my colleagues to come and have a look." ”

More than a dozen other officials of the Great Agricultural Order also stepped forward to salute.

Yang Chuan arched his hand, which was regarded as a return of courtesy, and said with a smile: "I said that there were a few magpies calling when I got up early in the morning, and it turned out that there were distinguished guests." ”

The officials hurriedly returned the salute, saying 'I don't dare'.

Seeing the appearance of these officials, Yang Chuan was very satisfied, and that was right.

More than half a year ago, he Yang Chuan was still a fart, at the mercy of others, even Sang Hongyang came to the door, holding a hair of the old woman Liu as an arrow, threatening and deceiving, and finally used the method of 'wheat stubble to plant millet', and got himself the official position of a big farmer Lingcheng;

Now, no matter in terms of title, identity, status and background, Yang Chuan is actually a lot higher than Sang Hongyang.

Therefore, we need to be generous......

"You guys came here from Chang'an City, haven't you eaten yet?" Yang Chuan said with a smile, "It just so happens that the wild vegetables in the field are starting to sprout, and I invite you to have a light meal." ”

As soon as they heard about eating, the eyes of the group lit up.

Especially Sang Hongyang, he smiled even more, and arched his hand: "I can eat a bite of your Yang's food, but how many nobles in Chang'an City think about it." ”

Yang Chuan's family's food is delicious, and it is no secret in Chang'an City, even the emperor, prime minister, big agricultural order, imperial envoy doctor and other important ministers of the court are full of praise, which is really an extremely rare thing.

When Yang Chuan heard this, he just chuckled lightly and invited: "Why don't we go to the fields and take a look first, and then let's go back to Zhuangzi to eat?" ”

Sang Hongyang smiled: "That's how it should be." ”

The group turned on their horses and headed for a large area of farmland in the distance.

"Danong Lingcheng, please see, this piece of nearly 2,000 acres is cultivated by Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, including 800 acres of wheat, 800 acres of soybeans, more than 300 acres of flax, and dozens of acres of vegetables and vegetables."

"This wheat stubble is planted with millet, and the experiment has been successful last year, and there is no problem."

"But from this year, we plan to sow wheat after autumn, and after winter, the wheat will mature more than 20 days to a month earlier, and we can also try to plant a crop of beans."

"By the way, the more than 2,000 acres in front of it is Huo Quzhi's ...... responsible for reclamation."

“……”

Along the way, Yang Chuan pointed at his fingers, which opened the eyes of Sang Hongyang and other officials, and at the same time, he was also surprised.

In their imagination, it was impossible for a mere 500 ploughing oxen and 2,000 or 3,000 servants to cultivate 200,000 acres of fertile land.

Therefore, on the way here, they also 'asked' the big farmer Ling Cheng Sang Hongyang, if they found that the 100,000 acres of fertile land rewarded by the emperor had not been cultivated, should they be reprimanded.

But.

The scene in front of them was completely unexpected by these officials: whether it was the area in charge of Cao Xiang, or the area in charge of Huo Quzhi, Li Dang and others, all the fields had basically been deeply cultivated!

Moreover, what was incomprehensible to them was that the servants seemed a little excited when they were working in the fields, and almost everyone was rushing to work, for fear that they would fall behind.

Accustomed to seeing the lifeless servant labor, he suddenly saw the scene in front of him, even Sang Hongyang was a little confused, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do they like to work so much?" ”

Yang Chuan laughed, pointed to a Zhuangzi under construction in the distance with a horsewhip, and said: "The reason is very simple, I promised them that when the spring plowing and spring sowing are over, I will get two or three thousand women, and each of them will be given an aunt." ”

Sang Hongyang looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "No, isn't the woman in the servant also rushing to work?" ”

Yang Chuan said quietly: "What's this, if you can give a man an aunt, can't you give a man a man?"

Sang Hongyang, who was born in a merchant family, should be very clear. ”

Sang Hongyang's old face turned red, and he said haha, and he was silent.

At the beginning, when Yang Chuan was a small middle guard, he was able to almost cry when he was a young prince, but now his status is already different, so don't be bored.

In addition, Sang Hongyang is now a figure with a head and a face, how can he still mention his background as a businessman?

Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding.

Yang Chuan's mouth is simply ......

……

The group led Sang Hongyang to 'inspect' for three hours, and when it was nearly dusk, they returned to their fiefdoms, and almost all of them were tired and hungry, and looked very embarrassed.

Yang Chuan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was comfortable.

It's a small example, come over to eat and drink to take advantage of political achievements, and it's okay to run a few dozen miles more?

Of course, as a cook, he understands that this man can only taste the sweetness of food when he is very hungry.

Therefore, Yang Chuan deliberately took this group of people to take a good turn and look at them, and only brought them back when everyone was hungry.

Almost everyone went to reclaim the cultivated land, and only one or two hundred people were busy in the Yang Chuan's village, so it was very quiet and peaceful at dinner.

"Childe, when is the meal going to be?"

As soon as he entered Zhuangzi, Tangyi's father came up with an apron, and said angrily: "The mutton in our family is gone, the wheat is almost gone, and the beans are long gone......

Listening to Tang Yi's father's crying poverty, Yang Chuan scolded angrily: "I said that there is not much food stored at home, so I have to save some food, look, it's about to stop now, right?" ”

Tangyi's father had a bitter face and said aggrievedly: "Childe, what do you still say, if you hadn't exchanged all the gold and grain in the family for ploughing cattle and crop seeds, our family wouldn't even be able to open the pot." ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand anxiously: "That's it, just get some food." ”

The cousin's father turned around and left.

It seems, it's very sad.

This scene fell in the eyes of Sang Hongyang and other officials, but it was another thought: 'It turns out that this kid is now overstretched and about to be unable to open the pot?' ’

Some people have even begun to lament that the imperial court is not particular about doing things, and just requires Yang Chuan and a few people to plant crops in a large area, but they don't even give basic farming cattle, seeds and farm tools......

"If you don't make more, you can't imagine ...... now"

As soon as Sang Hongyang opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by Yang Chuan waving his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you can plant a good field, tighten your belt and live, and the summer wheat is ripe," Yang Chuan looked as usual, but there was a slight helplessness at the corner of his mouth, "Fortunately, Cao Xiang's family still has surplus grain, and I borrowed some recently." ”

After a brief wash, the group set up a table in the courtyard and waited for the meal to begin.

As a result, they waited left and right, but they never saw the servants serving food to the top, and Sang Hongyang and the others were hungry, and they all began to pour acid water upwards.

At this time, even Yang Chuan couldn't sit still.

He shouted loudly and asked his cousin to come and see him.

Tangyi's father honestly entered the door, bowed down and said, "Son, the glutinous rice and gruel are ready, just a few wild vegetable dumplings...... We didn't know how to cook ......."

Yang Chuan nodded slightly, waved his hand, and said casually: "What's so difficult about wild vegetable dumplings, after scalding them with boiling water, sprinkle a little salt, drop a few drops of sesame oil, and pour a stream of vinegar." ”

The cousin's father hurriedly retreated.

"It's a shame to keep you waiting." Yang Chuan said with a gentle smile.

Sang Hongyang and the others were stunned, looking at each other, but it was not easy to say anything, look at this matter, the Yang family, which has infinite scenery on the surface, has fallen to this?

I have to say that the reward of the emperor and the court is sometimes a trap, and at first glance, it seems that a large piece of fat lamb meat will be sent to you.

However, a character like Yang Chuan, who has no background, is still easy to break his stomach......

"It's really hard for you to make less."

"Yes, if there is anything difficult, you might as well speak, maybe our big farmer order can help you a little bit."

“……”

Sang Hongyang and others spoke out to convince them, Yang Chuan looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, two meals a day, it's good to be hungry, it's too extravagant, and it's not good for your health."

As for the help of your Great Agricultural Order... I still don't bother you.

Now is the spring ploughing season, and the alfalfa, dandelions, spicy vegetables and all kinds of wild vegetables in the fields have sprouted, isn't it a delicacy in the world? ”

Originally, Sang Hongyang and others still had some doubts in their hearts, but after listening to Yang Chuan's words, they couldn't help but believe most of them.

Especially when several servants brought a large pot of 'rice batter' and seven or eight kinds of cold wild vegetables, and then put Yang's pickles and Yang's mustards, everyone fully believed: 'It turns out that the Yang Chuan family is really about to run out of food......

Seeing the sympathy in the eyes of Sang Hongyang and the others, and the unconcealable 'schadenfreude', Yang Chuan sneered in his heart.

If you don't pit a Sang Hong sheep ruthlessly, you have to pay for the second step of strengthening the field camp......

So, Yang Chuan calmly began to introduce the food on the table: "Look, this pot of wheat flour and millet is called stirring dough." ”

"The cooking method of this kind of food is very simple, which is to stew millet porridge until it is ripe, and then sprinkle wheat flour into it, and while sprinkling, use a rolling pin to stir quickly."

"This is a sativa dish, try it."

"This plate is the root of bitter and bitter vegetables, look at it, it is white, fresh and tender, it is slightly bitter, but it is the most heat-clearing and detoxifying, clear eyes and clear heart......"

Yang Chuan pointed out and explained casually, and said that a meal of ordinary people's meals was more delicious than fried lamb, sour meat, boiled pork slices, and fish-flavored shredded pork, which made Sang Hongyang and others can't help but start to blame themselves.

Look at the people's 'peace and happiness' style, and think about the flat land that has been deeply cultivated, no wonder it can enter the eyes of the emperor, and casually reward 100,000 acres of fertile land......

……

This meal was eaten in an extremely tranquil and natural manner.

Even if it is a few ordinary people's meals, it is a delicious taste in the world when it is simply cooked in Yang's kitchen.

Especially those wild vegetables, dripping with Yang Chuan's sesame oil, sprinkled with a pinch of Cao Xiang's refined salt, and mixing some home-brewed balsamic vinegar, it is really delicious.

Looking at Sang Hongyang and other officials 'sucking' and gobbling up, Yang Chuan was in a good mood.

He said seemingly casually: "Spring sowing is about to begin, and the emperor has rewarded too many fields, and I am worried when I think about it, there are not enough livestock, and there are too few servants, and it is too late to grab seeds for a while;

But fortunately, Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang recently invented a kind of cocoon, it is said that one person, one cow and one cocoon, in one day, can sow 350 acres of wheat......"

Spring is coming, pinch a little alfalfa, blanch it with boiling water, and mix it with sesame oil, salt, and vinegar, which is very delicious.
