Chapter 475: Farmstead
Otherwise, if Your Majesty and the Queen don't care, then no matter how much credit their family loses, and they don't give the Emperor face, isn't that a high achievement?
Originally, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him now!
A while ago, I was also participated by Xiao Li!
A few days ago, Wei Zheng joined him again!
And now Qin Shou is inspecting his farm here in Lijiazhuang, although this year because of smallpox, the autumn harvest has been delayed a little, but it does not affect the harvest of grain, after all, it has been busy for a whole year, and there can be no harvest!
Looking at the warehouse in his farm full of grain, Qin Shou looked at all this with satisfaction, the people regard food as the sky, and it is a big thing to ensure that they have enough to eat at any time.
asked the mountain next to him: "Dashan, do you know how many people and how much land we have in Zhuangzi now?" ”
"Now we have 500 households, a total of 2,468 people, 5,200 acres of fertile land, and 800 acres of newly reclaimed wasteland this year. But this year's harvest is not good, brother, as you said, this year it is rent-free. ”
"Now that one person comes down, there are only two acres of land, and the little grain planted is still not enough!"
Qin Shou now feels that if he grows food like this, it is still not enough to eat, if there is a natural disaster or something, then the days will be tight, if there is a high-yield crop, or something that can improve the cultivation of grain, or can cultivate more wasteland.
After taking a turn in the Zhuangzi, Qin Shou came to a mountain next to Weishui.
"This mountain is called General Mountain, it is the fief of the Lu State Mansion, and iron ore was found here before, but in the end it is pyrite, and the output is not much, and Cheng Biting Gold finally became a joke in Chang'an City."
Li Chengqian said with a smile on the side, he still remembered how sunny Cheng Biting Jin was before, and then it hurt so much when he slapped his face, and he hid at home for three months!
When he was in the court, his father asked him to give him some iron ore, but he was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word.
This is also the worst thing Cheng Yanjin was laughed at.
"Now these trees can only be used as firewood, their firewood shop, the business is very prosperous, the blacksmith shop has always been like that, the collection is so expensive, and the technology is like that, black-hearted businessman!"
Fang Yiai also said on the side, once he went to Cheng Biting Jin's blacksmith shop to ask how much it cost to build a long sword, and it actually cost a hundred!
Ask him to charge him two times!
I can only fool outsiders! The locals of Chang'an City will not go to their house when they strike iron.
chatting with everyone all the way, walking along the Weishui, I actually came to the foot of this mountain, and saw some traces of mining here.
As he walked, Qin Shou felt that something was wrong, how could there be these black things on this ground.
If you look closely, isn't this just coal?
This is ready for winter, and if you find a coal mine, if you get it well, you can get a honeycomb coal, and then build a small stove, and this winter will be flawless.
However, this place does not seem to be within the scope of Lijiazhuang.
"Xiao Ming, this place belongs to the Cheng family?" Qin Shou looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
Li Chengqian looked at him and asked, "Yes, brother, what are you going to do?" ”
"That's easy, okay, I'll go to the Lu Guogong Mansion!"
"Don't go!" Fang Yiai, Duhe, Li Chengqian, and the three of them said in unison, that Cheng's family is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and they kill people!
And there is no one they don't dare to do, my father knows, but people are the sharpest knife in my father's hand, even if you are the most beloved son of your father, it is estimated that you will not be able to bargain in their hands!
What's more, there are only two people in the world who dare not take advantage, that is, the father and the queen mother, and even the fat green finch in our family was beaten a few days ago.
"Why not?"
Qin Shou asked puzzledly, looking at the appearance of a few people, it seemed that they all didn't have a good impression of the Lu State Mansion, no, he was silent when he saw the process, very good and kind!
And I often come to ask about the vegetables, although I don't give money, but it doesn't matter, it's not worth it, I grow it at home.
That is to say, Qin Shou didn't know how much money this vegetable could sell in Chang'an City, although he had traveled here for so many years, but Qin Shou was familiar with only this place in Wannian County, and he didn't think of going out to explore the world.
Because he is very content with the current life, he has land, land, house, money and family, so why bother to toss anything!
"You can't go, brother, their family is actually fierce!"
Li Chengqian said bitterly, he can't tell his brother that he is the prince, and the Cheng family dares to cheat him out of money, right?
"That family is insatiable!"
Du He also said that a long time ago, he and Cheng Chuliang, the second elder of the Cheng family, went to gamble for money, and then the guy lost, and he had to rob him of his money if he didn't give money.
"Not a good thing!" Fang Yiai said indignantly, he still remembered how he was blackmailed, he thought that he was the son of the prime minister, and he only bullied others, but he didn't expect to be bullied by others, and it would be a shame to say it.
This kind of fight between juniors, as long as it is not a matter of human life, the elders are not allowed to take care of it, this is also an unwritten rule!
"Ahem!" The one-eyed dragon who was acting as a guard beside them coughed lightly in displeasure, and his eyes warned Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling and Du He, don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!
Since they came to Lijiazhuang, they have been a little reluctant to leave, and the Cheng family also respects them, Qin Shou let them teach the children in Zhuangzi martial arts here, and a few people have already married daughters-in-law here.
But I wouldn't be happy to hear His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and those two princes say this about their Lu State Mansion, if our Cheng family was also here at the time, you dare to talk like this?
"Well, you can do it yourself!" Li Chengqian's painting style changed and said, let him have said it all, whether the eldest brother can avoid being slaughtered depends on this time.
"We don't want to talk so much about this matter of yours."
Du He also changed the gossip from the past and said.
"Hey, look, the scenery is nice here, let's go over and have a look!"
Fang Yiai said, and walked quickly towards that side.
"That big mountain, let's go to Cheng's house to have a look!"
Qin Shou said to his younger brother with a wave of his hand.
"You're just going?" The one-eyed dragon stared at Qin Shou.
"Or else?" Qin Shou didn't understand.
"The threshold of the Luguo Mansion is extremely high, no matter how we say it, we are all door-to-door guests, so we have to take something, otherwise it's not very good!"
The one-eyed dragon's smile looked at Qin Shou with a smile and said, looking like you understand.
