Chapter 4 You don't know how to farm

The autumn breeze in Beiting started later this year, and similarly, the reinforcements from the Anxi Protectorate also came later.

In a few days, the story of the county horse Fuqin guarding the empty city has spread throughout Tingzhou, whether it is a peddler or a high-ranking family, everyone knows that there is such a wise and brave county horse as Zhang Peng in the county lord's mansion in the west of Beiting City.

So much so that when Zhang Peng walked on the streets of Beiting City, there would be people greeting him with a smile, that expression, proper reverence, and even staged a few scenes in which the vendors in the city resolutely refused to accept Zhang Peng's tea and rice money.

Xu Wanyi was a blessing in disguise, not only was the poison dissipated, but also the martial arts realm broke through the bottleneck this time and entered the realm of the great grandmaster who was united with qi.

Is there still a heavenly reason for this? Others are all smooth sailing, but they are in debt.

The pressure of 10 million yuan is a bit big, and in the future generations, this is a loan of hundreds of millions!

Zhang Peng suddenly remembered Principal Wang's and his father's joke of "setting a small goal first".

Why do people take this for granted?

"Uncle, let's get on the horse quickly, the county wants us to rush to the outskirts of Longshang in half an hour, according to your unhurried strolling, you can't get to the ridge at noon," Gao complained that he had been with Zhang Peng for the past two days, and the two had gotten along not like master and servant, but like friends.

This is related to Zhang Peng's lack of control in dealing with people now, and he is not like a casual talk.

Now, the sneak attack of the Chaktuo army could not escape far into the desert, but most of the autumn grain and population in the southwest of Tingzhou were plundered.

While distributing relief to the people who escaped looting, Beiting must also organize the military to hurriedly replant the autumn seedlings, and the food security in Tingzhou in the coming year will not be guaranteed, but Xu Wanyi still decided to make up as much as she could.

So I didn't rest at home for a few days, so I took the lead again and went to plow the ground on the ridge.

"Fart, I told her a few days ago, the agricultural season has passed for more than half a month, and the rainy season has stopped, now it's not that you can make up for the seedlings if you have more people, just turning the ground is enough for them to drink a pot, and I won't help with a hoe!" Zhang Peng replied disapprovingly, and stopped in front of a Hu Ren's clothing store, looking very cold about Hu Ren's business.

"But the county lord has already told the news that you are going with you in front of the civil and military officials of the whole city, and if you don't go, won't it make the county lord lose face?" Gundam's face was embarrassed.

"If he wants me to go, I'll go, I don't want to lose face?" Zhang Peng casually rummaged through the goods on the Hu Ren stall, arrogantly snorting.

Gundam was about to cry urgently: "Uncle, you obviously wrote and drew on the paper last night, obviously to prepare for this replanting!" ”

Zhang Peng turned his head and looked at Gundam angrily, and finally couldn't bear to let his little follower be implicated because of his absence from the "Spring Ploughing and Replanting Mobilization Conference", so he had to sigh: "That's it, it's okay if you give those things to her, I will quarrel with her without saying a word, and everything will fall apart when I come and go, come, take it." ”

After speaking, Mr. Zhang Peng took out three scrolls from his cuffs and handed them to Gundam: "Boy, I won't go, I'm afraid I'll get sick after staying with those stupid people with them for a long time, you give these three scrolls of drawings to the county lord, and then repeat what I said next to her word for word, understand?" ”

"Understood," Gundam excitedly took the three scrolls, and then listened to them.

After two teas, Gundam galloped out of the city with a shocked and joyful mood, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked nervous to protect the scroll in his arms, and he also specially carried a war knife, with a posture that whoever dared to stand in the way would be slashed with a knife.

Zhang Peng watched Gundam fast horse out of the city, his heart was both happy and helpless, and subconsciously touched the private seal of Hebo in his arms.

It's not because he really cares about how great he is, how worried he is about the farming and people's livelihood in Beiting, but because he had a dream last night!

He dreamed that in the second year of Kaiping (next year), there was a great drought in Beiting all year round, the water of the Remnant Yang River dried up and decreased, and there were countless particles in summer, and a large area from the Altai Mountains to the north of the Tianshan Mountains was starving and wild, and the people in Yizhou were even more selling their children and daughters, and they left their hometowns.

When he woke up, the private seal of Hebo in his arms glowed slightly, and it was hot.

At that time, Zhang Peng sat on the bed in a daze for a long time with Hebo's private seal in his hand, and he didn't know that his palms were burned.

Sure enough, Hebo's private seal really has a special function, that is-to warn the future!

"Alas, I really don't want to be a child of destiny, I'm all forced," Zhang Peng shook his head slightly, and then refocused his attention on the shop of the Hu trader.

Here, it was the reason why he temporarily decided not to see Xu Wanyi, he glanced at the melon seed skin on the ground at the door, leaned over to pick it up, and then put on a smile on his face and walked into the store with his head held high.

"Distinguished guest, please allow Old Henis to introduce you to the special products of our store, we are from ......" An enthusiastic Hu Shang greeted him, he was wearing a luxurious Candice robe with purple markings on a yellow background, and a delicate but old ruby hair ring, but Zhang Peng rudely interrupted his opening remarks.

"I know you are a noble descendant of Sassanid Persia," Zhang Peng said to himself, looking boredly at the exquisite Sassanid brocades, expensive gold and silverware, and delicate Damascus scimitars on the shelves, "It's just that you have been reduced to the point of selling your family property, tsk, you must have had a hard time being a second-class citizen under the rule of the caliphate." ”

Old Henis looked at Zhang Peng in shock, he didn't expect to meet a young man who knew the situation in his hometown well in the North Court of Great Xia.

"The glory of Elanshahr will never perish, and sooner or later we will drive those big food executioners out of the Iranian plateau!" Old Henness's posture became more humble, "Distinguished guest, you are really well-informed, please pity the helpless old Hernis, choose some goods, old Henis will definitely give you the best price." ”

Zhang Peng raised his eyebrows, feeling a trace of admiration for the great ambition of the old Henis, but it was more a pity that if the history of Central Asia had not gone astray, the Persians would have been wiped out under the iron-blooded rule of the Caliphate, and Zoroastrianism would have become a historical term, and it was not until the rise of the Safavid dynasty in the sixteenth century that the Persians once again used their own independent sovereign state.

Zhang Peng shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not interested in these rags of yours, but I'm interested in your seeds." ”

Old Hernis's gray pupils were full of doubts: "Distinguished guest, I don't sell seeds here. ”

"Without further ado, how many more of this thing do you have?" Zhang Peng stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a melon seed skin that had been eaten, "Five hundred guan, I have it!" ”

"Five hundred!" Old Henis looked happy, and then looked at the seed shell in Zhang Peng's hand.

But after he looked at it for a long time, he finally showed a puzzled expression, obviously, he didn't know what this thing was, he said with an aggrieved face: "Distinguished guest, old Henis doesn't know what kind of seed this is, I'm sure, I don't have this goods." ”

"Do you have any consignments in your store?" Zhang Peng asked dissatisfiedly, his tone becoming very stern.

Old Henness became more and more humble in the face of the angry guest, and hurriedly leaned over and smiled: "Distinguished guest, Old Hennys's store only has my own family's business, and I have not helped others sell anything. ”

"Call out all the people in your store!" Zhang Peng's tone became more and more severe, not for anything else, just because the skin of the melon seeds in his hand was nothing else, but the peel of pumpkin seeds!

This is the first choice for emergency food in the green and yellow season, and it is super resistant to storage, it is not a problem to store it in the cellar for half a year, if I am not mistaken, the aristocratic little gourd in the previous life is produced in Xinjiang!

Whether it is boiling porridge and stewed vegetables, shabu shabu is the best choice, an expensive meat hurts, Rao is a high-income surgeon and he can't afford to eat every day.

Get this thing, first, you can add a kind of food to the people of Limin, and second, you can sell it to Xu Wanyi to pay off debts, can this kind of high-yield and good grain be worth 100,000 yuan?

"Okay, distinguished guest, wait a moment," said old Hernis, calling the servant, and then spoke in Persian, and in a few minutes six Persian warriors and four Persian maids entered the shop from the backyard.

But after some inquiry, no one knew the news of pumpkin seeds.

The owner of the pumpkin seed must be found! Beiting's fragile farming system needs a high-yield grain to ensure food security!

Potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes are unthinkable, but let Lao Tzu see pumpkin seeds today, Lao Tzu must not let go.

As soon as he thought of the early warning image given by Hebo's private print, Zhang Peng shuddered, he really couldn't watch the disaster come and stand by, the most important quality handed over to him by the twenty years of education in his previous life was the feelings of family and country and the spirit of the nation.

It's not something that can be easily changed as you travel through time and space and change your status.

Zhang Peng, who was unwilling, had to carefully inquire about who else had come to Old Huls's store today, and finally left Lao Huls ten yuan in intelligence expenses and hurriedly checked them one by one......

In the suburbs, on the ridges, countless young men of the Beiting Army were busy on the endless barren fields, including Xu Wanyi, who was sweating like rain and plowing the ground with a hoe.

For the invasion of the region, the tactics of emergency fortification and clearing the field must be implemented, and how sour it is to burn the green seedlings with a fire at that time, how sour it is to plow the ground at this time.

Rao is Xu Wanyi's martial arts are high, and she will not plow a few acres of land more than others in a day.

"County Lord, drink some water," Jian Ping couldn't bear Xu Wanyi's hard work, and brought water.

"Where's the gunhorse? Why haven't you come yet? Xu Wanyi took the water and drank it in small sips.

"Junma just sent Gundam over," Jianping wiped the sweat for Xu Wanyi with a cloth weight, she was very worried about the wound on Xu Wanyi's arm, but she investigated, and the wound healed in just a few days, leaving a very ugly scar, similar to a centipede.

"Where, why don't you come to see me?" Xu Wanyi frowned and asked.

Jian Ping pointed into the distance, "Now Old Mr. Qin is reprimanding him." ”

Lord Monarch looked at where Jian Ping was pointing, and with her extraordinary eyesight, she saw that Grandpa Qin was chasing Gundam with a crutch, and while chasing, he was still scolding in his mouth, but it was too far away, and he couldn't hear what he was scolding.

"Alas, Gundam is a good boy, and this beating is probably for the county horse, so I'd better stop it, this beating is really wronged," Xu Wanyi sighed.

As Xu Wanyi walked towards Grandpa Qin and Gundam, she finally heard what Grandpa Qin was talking about.

"Such a treasure, why didn't you take it out earlier? It is a major matter related to the people of the world, Zhang Peng actually regarded it as a child's play, and he was angry with me, so he left! Grandpa Qin was already out of breath at the moment, holding a scroll in one hand and a crutch in the other.

"Mr. Qin, I'm just a messenger to send things, why are you beating me?" Gundam had climbed to the poplar tree at this moment, his face was full of grievances, and when he saw the county lord coming, it was like seeing a savior, "County lord, save me!" ”

"The copper stink is all over the body, shameless, you give it to me," Grandpa Qin was obviously more angry, he was angry that Zhang Peng didn't come forward at all, but he still slapped his face loudly.

Xu Wanyi looked at Gundam who couldn't come down holding the trunk of the tree suspiciously, and then brought a bowl of water to Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa Qin, why are you angry with Gundam, isn't it because he didn't bring Zhang Peng?" You also know that Zhang Peng's personality is out-of-the-box, and he didn't expect him to come. ”

Grandpa Qin took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly and handed Xu Wanyi three scrolls: "Look at it, your good county horse gave it to you, if you don't give it sooner or later, you just give it on the day we replant the seedlings today, hehe, my old face is considered to have been beaten into a monkey's butt, so I have to rely on the old man to beat the Gundam leather monkey." ”

After hearing her grandfather's words, Xu Wanyi became more and more curious about the three scrolls, what was painted here that could make Grandpa Qin so angry.

Soon, Xu Wanyi did not have a half-curious mentality, but experienced a change of mentality from shock to ecstasy, to shame, and finally to anger.

The first scroll: a detailed diagram of the car system and the construction of the plough! The pinnacle of wisdom of Huaguo's farming civilization has greatly improved the efficiency of cultivated land and sowing.

Second Scroll: Windmill Mill and Animal Power Watermill Drawings! The North Courtyard is windy all year round, and the versatile windmill is simply a unique weapon here, coupled with the animal power waterwheel irrigation project, it is not a problem to easily build an agricultural empire in the North Garden.

The third scroll: Detailed diagram of the making of a wheelbarrow! This kind of single person can operate, do not pick the terrain, can add sails to borrow the wind to travel, the capacity of the amazing hand-pushed wheelbarrow, the most suitable for the complex terrain of the North Courtyard and the Western Regions, and the cost is low, once popularized in the North Garden, that will have a huge role in promoting the production and life of the entire Western Regions.

Lord Luanming, who has extensive knowledge and has been grasping military affairs for many years, can naturally see the preciousness of these three scrolls, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are priceless treasures.

No wonder Zhang Peng had no interest in the city's military and civilian replanting plan a few days ago, it turned out that he already had a better way!

The cocoon and the curved plough can shorten the time of this rush to cultivate more than ten times!

Coupled with the introduction of windmills, waterwheels and wheelbarrows, this is simply a one-stop development plan tailored for the long-term farming industry of Beiting!

The corners of Xu Wanyi's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at the hoe in her hand, soaked in her sweat, but suddenly felt that she had no motivation to pick it up again.

Her face was hot, Xu Wanyi felt panicked, no wonder Grandpa Qin said that his face was beaten by Zhang Peng, not only him, but also the county lord was also slapped in the face!

But you have to be smiling, full of joy, and carefully do the next thing according to the wishes of others, which is the key to making people even more resentful.

"Did Zhang Peng ask you to bring anything to me?" Xu Wanyi took a deep breath and asked Gundam on the tree through gritted teeth.

"Yes, but ......" Gundam turned pale and refused to speak.

"Say!" Xu Wanyi's phoenix eyes widened angrily.

"Uncle, Uncle said," Gundam swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "You fools who can't farm, I'll leave the method to you, do it well, don't let the master look down on you, by the way, three pictures, 300,000 yuan, give the account to the master!" ”

"In addition, don't plant wheat, it's safest to plant barley, that's all, rat tail juice!"

After saying that, Gundam sensed that the situation was not good, because the county lord had already walked under the poplar tree with a flushed face, and the jade hand was gently raised.

"County Lord, that's what you asked me to say, ah....."

The poplar tree fell, simply because it provided shelter to an innocent courier and microphone.

With her back to the smoke and dust that was kicked up with the fall of the poplar tree, Xu Wanyi walked up to Grandpa Qin and handed him a hoe stick, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Qin, you continue to fight." ”

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I want!" Old Mr. Qin laughed heartily.
