Chapter 138: Patrol
"Then you should also pay more attention to rest, don't get tired."
Gao's mother saw that the two of them had a plan in their hearts, and in this kind of matter, she didn't say anything about it.
Following.
Goldman Sachs went to see the charcoal cellar, charcoal is still used in the kitchen in the summer, but even so, it is not burned much, mainly because the wood is accumulated during this time and used in the winter.
Gao Sachs saw that the firewood in the warehouse on this side of the cellar was well loaded, and the charcoal was not wet, so he turned around and left with confidence.
This time, he was going to see the noodle workshop.
The vermicelli workshop now relies on sunlight to dry vermicelli, so around the outside of the workshop, a neat drying field is built with stone strips, which is the largest drying field in the village.
There are dense vermicelli sticks on it, and the results look very gratifying.
And next to the drying field, there is the workshop, and the door of the workshop is open.
Goldman Sachs walked in with his feet up, and happened to meet Xiang Xi talking to Gao Yuan, who was in charge, inside.
"Third brother, you're back." Gao Yuan saw Goldman Sachs and greeted him happily.
Goldman Sachs nodded, "What's the matter, have you encountered any difficulties in the workshop?" ”
"No, no, the business of the workshop is still very smooth, and now everyone is popular to eat cold noodles, and they don't dislike the heat in summer."
"So the business of the workshop is still good."
"Although there are merchants in other places who imitate the production of vermicelli, the taste of our house is delicious, and the price is also affordable, and there are many regular customers."
Goldman Sachs was not surprised when he heard this, he and Xiang Xi negotiated the price so low at the beginning, just for small profits and quick turnover, after all, it only makes sense for ordinary people to afford food.
Besides, this vermicelli is not particularly rare.
Together, the two were busy learning about the situation in the village.
In the big mountain village not far from the next door.
The group walked down from the mountain, the team was crowded, and the shoes these people were wearing were soap boots, and they had extraordinary identities at a glance, and the people in the village didn't dare to take a second look when they saw this group of people.
"It seems that the land in this village is arid, and the land is not very fertile, most of it is dry land, what can Lord Lin do?" A middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties asked quietly.
When Lin County Ling heard this, he said respectfully, "Master, you go this way, this big mountain village is also in the planning of the county government." ”
"Although the land here is very arid, and most of the land is full of broken stones, according to the investigation of the lower officials, it is found that this kind of land is very suitable for growing cotton, barley and wheat."
"Wheat can be used as a staple food, and it does not affect the payment of taxes at all."
"Barley can be made into barley wine, and it can also be made into barley cakes, in short, it is also a good thing to be able to fill the stomach, originally this was planted in the village, and the yield of ordinary rice is not good here, so I simply give up rice and plant wheat and barley."
"As for cotton, this is a good thing, poor people, there are not a few who even freeze to death in winter, but if there is cotton, more people can survive, and cotton can provide a little income for the villagers of Dashan Village, whether it is to repair a house or raise children, these need silver."
"If the people live well and live and work in peace and contentment, the court will be stronger, and I heard the doctor say that if this person eats well and has enough nutrition, he will be able to grow stronger, and he will not be afraid of being bullied by anyone."
The middle-aged man glanced at him when he heard this, "Lord Lin cares about the imperial court. ”
Lin Xian Ling frowned with a smile in his eyes, "This is an official in the court, and he doesn't care about the court, isn't he losing his heart, besides, the court is good, and the life of those of us who are current officials is more comfortable." ”
"Hehe, you dare to say this to the king, and you have the ability to go to the capital to tell the royal brother."
Lin Xian Ling instantly cried with a sad face, "Master, you can spare the lower officials, the lower officials would rather farm in the countryside than tremble in front of the emperor." ”
"You haven't done anything wrong, what's there to be warlike about, or are you doing something wrong?" The middle-aged man deliberately narrowed his glasses.
Lin Xianling's head shook like a rattle, "No, no, master, you might as well cut off the head of the subordinate directly if you say that you have wronged the lower official." ”
"What does this king want your head to do, instead of asking for your head, it is better to let you farm in the countryside, I think you are doing a good job." The middle-aged man squinted, and the people had already followed him to the cotton field, the scale here was not large, but every family planted one or two acres.
Lin Xian Ling not only did not get angry, but touched his beard happily, "That's good, the countryside is clean, looking at so many harvests, it's much better than writing so many useless folds." ”
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, not bothering with Lin County's order.
"Old man, did the cotton in these fields only start to be planted this year?"
"Cotton? Yes, this year's Kaichun County Yali hair seeds, where have we seen cotton planting in the past, this is the first time. Although the old man spoke clearly, he was also obviously a little nervous.
"What are you doing in the village?"
The guards next to him subconsciously stepped forward to reprimand, but were stopped by the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince said without changing his face, "I just heard that there is a kind of cotton in the village, so I came to see it." ”
"Oh, you are also the lord of the county, this cotton is blooming one by one, it is indeed beautiful, in recent months, a lot of students and young masters have come to take a look."
The Seventh Prince shook his head, "Yes and no, I'm still a businessman, come and see the cotton you planted, if it's good, put it away and sell it." ”
"What? But really? This old man's noble surname? Are you really willing to buy cotton from our village? When the old man heard this, even his cloudy eyes were excited.
The Seventh Prince asked without a trace, "You suddenly planted so much cotton, can you still take care of your own land?" ”
"The noble lord said with a smile, I can take care of the old man alone."
"Dad, you're talking big again." Next to him, his son came out of the cotton field, and when he heard this, he rolled his eyes helplessly.
The old man coughed lightly, "The noble lord is here, don't talk nonsense." ”
"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm ...... My cotton is really good, you see, all of them are very full. ”
The Seventh Prince took a look at the two of them, they were both common farmers, and the deep marks on their hands were made by hard work, not only that, but they were obviously a little uncomfortable in the face of outsiders, naturally, he was not worried about Lin Xianling's deception, after all, he could privately arrange someone to investigate this kind of thing.
Lin County's order can temporarily arrange people to fake, it can't always be fake, there is no need to fake this kind of thing, it's too obvious.
Lin Xianling doesn't need to do this for the sake of political achievements, after all, even if he doesn't have these political achievements, it is not difficult for him to be promoted.
"The cotton in your fields is really good." The Seventh Prince nodded with satisfaction, "However, didn't any other merchant come to ask for the price?" ”
