Chapter Eighty-Three: Responsibility Field
"Master, his old man is good at everything, but he is stingy, and he is reluctant to take out a few black rice. The King of Qianfeng County stabbed Qin Qing, and said with a smile.
Qin Qing can understand that a few dozen spirit coins of Xuanmi, although it is not expensive for Chu Yuan, but this thing can't be bought with money, not to mention that Xuanmi Essence is a good thing among a hundred Xuanmi, and one Xuanmi Essence is almost equal to the income of the Qin family for several years before.
No wonder at that time, Xiang Cheng made a request, asking Chu Yuan to accept as few apprentices as possible and concentrate teaching resources, it turned out that the money spent to train a formation master was indeed massive. If Chu Yuan had a few dozen disciples, I am afraid that he would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"You should be as rich as you, you are a prince, why don't you support the teacher a little?" Qin Qing also smiled.
"I think, it's a pity that the family spends a lot of money, don't you know the way, my year's money, except for the expenses of the palace, the rest of the meal is not enough......" Qianfeng began to cry poor.
"Come on, you. ”
......
Soon a servant brought the seeds of the brown rice. It is also strange to say that although only a few grains can be grown in an acre of field, a grain of brown rice can be turned into a small bag of seeds, which is enough to plant an acre of field. However, Rao was like this, in order to provide Qin Qing with seeds, Chu Yuan also consumed dozens of brown rice.
The seeds are heavy in the hand, open it and see, there is a refreshing aroma of rice, each seed is only a little big, the so-called bag of seeds, in fact, two hands can be held.
Under the leadership of Chu Yuan, Qin Qing and a few others came to the mountain behind the courtyard.
On the slope of the back mountain, there is a huge farmland of about 100 acres, and the field is divided into square well fields, each of which is about one acre. Among them, there are more than a dozen acres of fields, with ears of rice that are half a person high.
The whole body of the rice ear is golden, at first glance it looks a bit like a small tree rather than a rice ear, it is the rice rice, the top of each rice ear, there is a group of leaves, peel off the leaves, you can know whether there is brown rice in the road, or the rice essence. In fact, the vast majority of rice ears are empty.
In the distance, a clear mountain spring flows down the slopes and past the middle of the rice paddies for irrigation.
Such an ordinary-looking rice field that can be seen everywhere in the Chuba Empire is heavily guarded!
Around the rice paddies, a fence made of steel, probably four or five meters high, resembles the walls of a small city. There are also some cultivators standing on the city wall patrolling back and forth, and at a cursory glance, the strength of these people is not weak, and I am afraid that they are not inferior to the guards of the imperial city.
There were also huge crossbows at the head of the city, aimed at the outside of the wall. Qin Qing even found that there were faint traces of the flow of qi on the wall, and it seemed that Chu Yuan had actually arranged a magic circle on the city wall.
This field is actually at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, and there are many demon beasts in the Qilian Mountains, and the growth of brown rice will attract demon beasts. The walls, guards, ballistas, and circles are designed to prevent monsters from coming and ravaging Genmi.
On the ridge in the rice field, every few tens of meters, there is a 'scarecrow', and if you look closely, it turns out that they are all real people. Wearing hats, carrying a longbow behind their backs, and quivers at their waists, they watched the sky vigilantly to prevent the flying monsters from pecking at the genmi.
With only 100 acres of black rice, the manpower and material resources used to guard it can almost catch up with the imperial city.
"It's not easy to grow brown rice, it's hard work, and in the end you can't harvest a few grains of rice. There's no way, whoever makes this kind of thing impossible to buy on the market, can't have money. But our array masters, and some alchemists or something, must be used. ”
Chu Yuan didn't know when Lu Dao changed into an old peasant's clothes, rolled up his trousers and sat on the edge of the field, hanging a big drought tobacco, smoking it with a click, looking really like an old peasant.
"Master, I used to be at home, but I am a good farmer, and I will definitely be able to grow brown rice. The third senior brother Guo Dacheng scratched his head and said humbly, then he also rolled up his trousers and walked to a field of responsibility that belonged to him with his own share of brown rice seeds.
"Well, the eldest and the second, you two don't hold your own identities and refuse to go to the ground, let's go and try it, Qianfeng, Qin Qing, the responsibility of the five of your senior brothers is over there, connected together. After planting in the ground, the soil is turned over first, and then a seed is planted every three feet. Chu Yuan pointed with a dry tobacco pipe and divided the responsible fields.
Senior Brother Xiao Ran and Second Senior Sister Wu Mei looked at the muddy water in the field and frowned slightly, as if they felt that this place was dirty, and such rough work as farming was not what cultivators like them should do.
However, the master has a life, and farming is related to learning the Spirit Gathering Array later, so they can only grit their teeth and go to the field.
Qian Feng didn't care, he folded the hem of his clothes, took off his shoes and went directly to the ground, and Qin Qing followed.
As soon as he got off the ground, Qian Feng picked up the hoe on the side and turned over the soil, and his movements were quite skillful, like a veteran, and Qin Qing was amazed.
"I can't see it, senior brother, you still do farm work?" Qin Qing also began to turn over the ground as he learned from Qianfeng's appearance, and asked as he could.
"My father said that although we are cultivators, cultivators consume a lot of resources, and these resources are supported by ordinary people. For ordinary people, having enough to eat is the greatest wish, so those who are in power must pay attention to farming. Hehe, when I was a child, my father often took us to do farm work. Qianfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and it was dry with relish.
"The emperor is worthy of being the lord of a country. Qin Qing nodded.
"Hey, it's a pity that my eldest brother Wan Sheng, like that Xiangcheng since he was a child, looked down on civilians at all, and his mind was full of cultivation. If the ordinary people of the Chuba Empire are starving to death, who will provide us with cultivation resources, and who will provide for us? I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but my father values him more, you see, he has long been a prince, and I finally became a county king the year before last. ”
Qian Feng was sownting seeds on the ground while chatting with Qin Qing seemingly unintentionally.
Qin Qing also smiled, Qian Feng was very interesting. It's obviously to win over yourself, but the means are not annoying. He planted a seed and continued to plough the ground, saying, "Your Highness may be wrong in this idea. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?" Qianfeng's eyes lit up. Turning his head and asking Qin Qing.
"What princes, county kings, or even dukes, in essence, there is no difference, they are all courtiers. Only the crown prince and the emperor are monarchs. As long as the position of the crown prince is undecided, it is impossible to say who the emperor is in his heart, and I think that His Royal Highness's goal is probably not just a prince. Qin Qingruo looked at Qianfeng meaningfully.
"Ha Luha, little junior brother, we are just chatting, chatting...... But if there is a real showdown with Halloween in the future and the day when we seize the crown prince......"
"No way, who let me know you and the king of the county for a long time, and you are the same brother, I'm afraid that others have long regarded me as your party of the king of Qianfeng County, even if you want to stay out of the matter, it is impossible. Qin Qing shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"If that day exists, it will not be a failure. "Qianfeng Road.
After a short time, half a day passed, and Chu Yuan stood up from the ridge.
"Well, the seeds are almost all planted. Next, the teacher will tell you how to take care of these baby bumps, and the brown rice is very expensive, and if you don't pay attention, you will die. ”
