Chapter 69: No Grain in Your Hands
"This albino saline-alkali land can be transformed! Didn't the imperial court find a way to reform? Ye Sanniang looked at them lightly and said, looking at the confused Gao Mancang and said, "Transform into a good field!" ”
"Can it be transformed?" Gao Mancang's dark eyes looked at her and said in surprise, "I haven't heard of it?" After the albinism, the land was basically abandoned. Harvest little or even no harvest if you plant anything. ”
"Of course you can." Ye Sanniang smiled slightly when she heard this, looked at him with bright eyes and said, "The Yellow River has been diverted many times and flooded, and the previous land has slowly recovered. ”
"But it was recovered on its own, and it would have to wait for many years." Gao Mancang thought about it seriously and said.
"Now it's time for human intervention to speed up!" Ye Sanniang looked at him with a smooth gaze and said.
"Will it work?" Gao Mancang blinked and looked at her and said, "Even if you can transform it, you can make it white!" How can there be so many people. ”
"Isn't there not much of a person in the entire state capital? Go for them! People who don't want to go hungry go. A smile appeared on Ye Sanniang's lips, and she looked at them with clear eyes and said, "I just experienced the troubled times, I think the imperial court will take the lead and mobilize the people, and I will definitely be willing to do it." ”
"This?" Gao Mancang scratched his head and said, "This is a matter of the imperial court, we little people, it doesn't work if you say it!" ”
"Is Mancang familiar with the state capital?" Ye Sanniang looked at Gao Mancang with some surprise and said.
"When I was young, I worked as a boatman on the Wei River, and I am very familiar with the state capital." Gao Mancang looked at them with gloomy eyes and said, "This is busy on the Avant-garde River!" Now it has suddenly declined due to the war, and even the former Tokyo Bianliang is the same. The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is straightened, and the capital is no longer in the Central Plains...... It's not there. ”
Ye Sanniang looked at Gao Mancang in surprise, this insight is not something ordinary people have.
In the past, Ye Sanniang and Zhuang Tou had just a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, checking the accounts, listening to Gao Mancang's report, and not saying a few extra words.
Now that I'm rooted here, I can't run or hide, so I can only live a good life.
Gao Mancang also muttered to himself in his heart: In the past, the young lady gave her the feeling that she was not smiling, and now she is so approachable, which makes him even more afraid.
I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing! Just do your part.
&*&
"Okay, let's think about it, let's think about our family!" Ye Sanniang stood up and said, "Is there really no food in the granary?" ”
"It's gone, let the Bai family be emptied." Gao Mancang said angrily.
"Then before next year's summer harvest, we have to buy grain to eat." Ye Sanniang said while walking.
"In the past two years, the imperial court has been compassionate, exempted from taxes, and the wind and rain have been smooth, and the price of grain is not high." Gao Mancang hurriedly said when he heard this.
"The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants!" Ye Sanniang and the others walked through the moon gate and walked to the backyard.
The structure of the house in the backyard is similar to that in the front yard, with three rooms on the left and right wings and five rooms in the main house.
Outside the main house, there is a golden osmanthus tree, and the lush branches of osmanthus have already sprouted.
"Oops! When the osmanthus blooms, let's make osmanthus cake and eat osmanthus candy. Dangui looked at the osmanthus tree and said with his mouth smashed.
The osmanthus tree, meaning wealth and auspiciousness, the flowers are also ten miles of fragrance, which can make the whole yard fragrant.
"Grapes can be eaten, right?" Origan looked at a tuft of crystal-like grapes and said, "Pick them and try them." He looked back at Rifle and said, "Blessing." ”
"Yes!" Laifu stepped forward, reached out and hooked a small bunch of grapes.
Ye Sanniang and the others each pulled a grape, tore off the grape skin, and stuffed the pulp into their mouths.
"Uh......" Ye Sanniang's facial features wrinkled together, "It's sour and astringent, it's not delicious!" I swallowed it reluctantly, threw the grape skins into the vegetable patch, and went to manure!
"This grape will turn purple around August 15, sweet and delicious, not yet." Seeing this, the kite looked at the grapes full of grapes and said.
"Come on, wait." Fold Kite's clear eyes looked at the child and said.
"We're not in a hurry." Ye Luoxing said with a smile, "Guarding it, are you still afraid that you won't be able to eat it?" ”
Ye Sanniang watched the grapevines with thick arms crawling all over the shelves, and in summer the grapevines could be cooled and picked grapes to eat.
Round stone table and drum stool under the grape trellis.
Ye Sanniang looked back at the front yard, thinking about the pomegranate and ginkgo trees in the front yard, the four major town house trees, all planted in the Zhuangzi.
"Let's go! Let's go to the granary. Ye Sanniang and the others passed through the arch and entered the back of the Zhuangzi.
The courtyard here seems to be larger than the first two houses, and the left and right sides are closed rooms.
There were barns, wells, wings with farm implements, and firewood houses.
"The granary is here." The kite took the key to open the heavy wooden door, and the dry and steaming air came to his face.
Ye Sanniang looked at it, and sure enough, it was empty, and there was nothing left.
"There is a barn, we can buy mule carts and donkeys." Ye Sanniang's beautiful big eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she looked at them and said.
"Do you have to buy it? There are very few opportunities for us to go out in the village! Ori Kite pursed her lips and looked at her with a sad face.
"You have to buy it, I'm useful for myself, and after listening to my explanation, you'll agree." Ye Sanniang's eyes flashed with a small light, looked at her and said confidently.
"Alright then!" Hearing this, the kite had no choice but to say.
"There's no food to buy, this meat and eggs, the chickens have to raise by ourselves, we have to make some chicken coops!" Ye Sanniang stood in the middle of the backyard, looking at the empty backyard and said, "Always go out to buy, the road is far enough, and the money can't be spent like this." ”
"It's okay to buy chickens, not only to eat eggs, but also to kill chickens when you come back." The kite nodded busily.
"Goose!" Ye Lingzhi pulled Ye Sanniang's hand and looked at her with an innocent little face and said.
"I can't forget, the goose still has to take care of the home!" Ye Sanniang lowered her head and pinched the tip of her upturned nose and said, "Tidy up the backyard, it's overgrown." ”
"This one will clean up the house first, clean up, and I'll lead them to weed when I get back." Ori Kite said crisply.
"I'll weed with my family, and I can make chicken coops." Gao Mancang patted his chest and said with a big bag.
"What about Ruyi? Why didn't you see it? Ye Sanniang looked at him in surprise and said.
"The He family has a happy event, and we all went." Gao Mancang sighed lightly and said, "Who knew that a good happy event had become a funeral, and my family's family was busy comforting the He family on the woman's side." ”
"How can I cook without food?" Ye Sanniang said worriedly, "Let's go to the village first"
"If you buy food, the old slave goes and is familiar with the village. They don't dare to lack us. Gao Mancang said with a smile.
"Can slaves speak?" Dangui said rashly.
"What does Dangui want to say?" Ye Sanniang's clear and translucent eyes like crystal looked at her and said.
