Chapter 288: Isn't this a severed head meal?
The fourth elder brother said in the letter that he had arrived in Yungui.
On the plateau, the hills are undulating, there is not much land to plant, and the speed of policy communication is also very slow.
But the local people also have the wisdom to make a living.
Hubu and Wang Er and others have their own methods.
The household department took the official road, and with the cooperation of the local magistrate, the seeds were distributed so that some people who were more cooperative could plant them.
When waiting for the autumn harvest, the sight of the dazzling array of fruits will naturally make people willing to do things.
Wang Er went deep into the mountains and forests, found the mountain people in the horns, and used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to "fool" them into planting.
The other party also regarded him as a divine envoy from heaven and believed in it.
It's also a way.
And Chen Shiyuan took the old path of his ancestors.
When you meet a local chieftain, you go up and tell them the story of your ancestors, and then give out sweet potato seeds.
There are not many of them, so let them rush to ask for them.
Scarcity is expensive.
However, Yungui is a big place, and there are not many people who come.
If you want to talk about the effect, it can only be said that it has opened a small opening.
Everyone could see that the fourth prince was quite anxious, but the promotion of crops was not a quick process.
Chen Shiyuan also often said to him: "I miss my Chen family, since the previous dynasty's private collection of sweet potatoes was brought into our dynasty, and now it has been passed to me for hundreds of years, but it has only made a little name in the land south of the Yangtze River." ”
"Fourth elder brother, I know you are in a hurry, but this matter is indeed urgent."
He said it, but he also saw that the fourth elder brother didn't listen much.
On this day, the fourth elder brother and his entourage arrived at a new place.
After flipping through the local files, the fourth elder brother suddenly asked, "Where are these people being held now?" ”
Accompanied by an unruly official, Sheng Zai knew the local situation well, and he immediately said: "Back to the fourth elder brother, they have established themselves as concubines, but they have not hurt the common people, but the former official copied it by hand." ”
"The governor had just been promoted, and he left. The gang is still on trial and has been in prison for two months. ”
The fourth elder brother has known for a long time since this time, what is called "Tiangao Emperor Yuan".
What's more, this is a place where politics is not too clear at the moment.
If he is not in his position, he will not be easily angry with the countless big and small things that officials have left behind due to the handover.
He nodded, "Okay, bring them here." ”
"Fourth elder brother, are they all?"
"Yes."
The official saluted and said, "Then, please wait a moment for the fourth elder brother." ”
Dozens of mountain men stood in a row, and saluted the nobles: "Meet the official!" ”
The yacha was about to correct their statement, but the fourth elder brother waved his hand and asked directly: "I see that it is written in this file, you were a tenant farmer of a certain landlord before?" ”
No one answered.
Yacha was about to do something.
The fourth elder brother pointed to one: "Come, you answer." ”
The man was short in stature, and he said, "If you return to the official master, we are indeed tenant farmers." Later, he ran away......"
The fourth elder brother continued to ask: "I see that the harvest in your land is not bad?" ”
Then a tall mountain man replied, "That must be good." That son of a bitch......"
Yacha scolded: "Huh! In front of the nobles, let me clean my mouth! ”
"That dog landlord is not a man. It was said that as long as we grow more food, we will be left with enough food to eat. ”
"Who knows, he doesn't talk much, I just reason with him, and he wants to hand me over to the yamen. I couldn't get angry, so I ran away with all my brothers. ”
"There is land in the mountains, there are crafts, and we can support ourselves."
"Who knows, that person still ran to sue us, and he was arrested by the former official and the old man as a mountain man."
The fourth elder brother said gently: "So, you are still farming in the mountains? ”
The short man cried: "Master Guan, if you can't live, who wants to occupy the mountain." And we chose the poor land that no one wanted. ”
"If it weren't for the boss's good work, we would have starved to death. Where can I talk in front of the official......"
Yacha shouted: "What boss! Can't speak! ”
The fourth elder brother said, "Which one is your boss?" ”
The tall man said, "That's me!" How? ”
The yacha pointed at them again and said, "Huh! You're hungry, aren't you? ”
The fourth elder brother came down to promote high-yield crops, in order to prevent the people from going hungry, where can I hear the word "hungry".
Su Peisheng immediately shouted: "Presumptuous! ”
Suddenly, a room of officials, yachas, and mountain servants all knelt down.
The fourth elder brother waved his hand.
He is also accustomed to the lack of discipline in small places, not to mention that he does not have such responsibilities, even if he cleans up from place to place, he does not have the time.
The quickest way is to let everyone see the use of high-yield crops here in Yungui.
Once the officials know that this little thing can produce high crops, they don't worry that they won't stare at the people and plant it!
Su Peisheng immediately went out with the officials and the yacha.
Leaving the fourth elder brother to talk to the group of mountain men: "Get up." ”
"If I say, let you go back and continue farming. But you have to plant what I give you, are you willing? ”
The short man said, "Master Guan, is it true?" ”
The rest of the people have already begun to say, "Hmph, you must be trying to deceive us again?" ”
"He is an official master, and it is not easy to kill us."
"You didn't see those people listening to him, why did he lie to us?"
A group of people chattered.
The tall man asked, "Are there any other conditions besides planting what you give?" ”
The fourth elder brother nodded: "Yes." ”
"You also need to find more people like you to plant with."
"Plant what?"
"Grow sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn."
"Sure enough, it's not a good thing, I've never heard of it."
"Forget it, let's lock it up, although I can't eat enough, I can't starve to death."
……
"Someone."
The mountain warriors were startled again.
saw that Su Peisheng asked people to bring in a basket of cakes, and a basket of round, black and unknown things.
I don't recognize things, but bread is something that everyone recognizes.
What's more, this cake is unremarkable, but it smells sweet.
Su Peisheng sent the cake directly to their hands.
The mountain warriors looked at each other: "Could this be a severed head meal?" ”
"At least a little meat, right?"
"If you don't have meat, you can do fish."
"Maybe the meat is in the pie?"
"You dream, you!"
……
The little Li Zi on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes, and the master could bear it, these fools!
The fourth elder brother also took a bite of the cake: "This is a potato cake, a sweet potato cake and a tortilla." ”
The tall man looked at death as if he were at home, and took a bite.
The others followed: "The boss has eaten, let's eat too." ”
"Hmm! It smells so good! ”
"It's sweet!"
"And crunchy!"
"I'm soft."
"Is it brittle or soft?"
"Is there something we eat?"
……
At this time, the fourth elder brother raised his voice a little and said solemnly: "That's what you want to plant." ”
"These are the things you will have to pay back in the future."
