Chapter 44: The Ancient Peasant Girl 44
"In short, everything I have now is earned by myself, I don't allow others to destroy it, you haven't done anything now, and I won't do anything to you, but once you do something, you'd better think about it, even if I care about the bloodline, at most I won't want your life. ”
Chen Lin put the ugly words in front, and today she made it clear, and she also took precautions for her first, she could not care about her thoughts, but once it really turned into action, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
After saying that, Chen Lin left, and I don't know if Chen Zhen figured it out or knew that he had been seen through and was embarrassed to act again, and there was no action after that, Su Chen came back half a month later, with some injuries on his body, Chen Lin was distressed, and hurriedly pressed him to recuperate.
After solving those wanderers, there was no more man-made disaster, Su Chen began to concentrate on developing the economy of Hengshui County, and after asking Chen Lin about the coal matter, Su Chen also reported that there were two coal mines found in Selangor Prefecture.
Coal can solve the technical problems of smelting, with coal mines, it is also much more convenient for the Ministry of Industry to forge weapons and armor, and the forged ones are all high-quality, the swords are sharper, which era weapons are important strategic materials, with this merit, as well as the increase in taxes in Hengshui County in three years, Su Chen became the prefect of Selangor after the expiration of three years.
At the same time, he also accepted the appointment of the imperial court to let him develop coal mines, and for convenience, the Ministry of Industry came to build an arms production base here, but that was not under his control.
The coal mines here were found to be all output orders and open-air, as well as the precautions given by Chen Lin, there is no problem in safety for the time being, and the coal diggers are criminals, and the labor reform court given by Su Chen before was very satisfied.
As a result, those criminals can no longer eat free cells leisurely, and need to work by themselves to earn food, and this time to mine, many criminals who were originally going to be assigned to several borders in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the country have all been sent here to mine, as short as a year, or as long as more than ten years are free labor, and the crime rate in the whole country is decreasing for a while.
The civilians of Selangor can also go to mining, and they can get a different amount of silver for each truck they dig, and the men will dig some when they are busy farming, which is of course not very efficient, but the place where coal can be used in this world is to make iron, or make honeycomb coal, which is enough.
In addition, in order to improve the economy of Selangor Prefecture, Su Chen used the Henghe River to sell honeycomb coal and coal stoves made from crushed coal to all parts of the country, men could mine, and his wife and old man could make honeycomb coal and hand it over to the government to sell together, and the people of Selangor Prefecture suddenly became more prosperous.
In just six years, Selangor has changed from a poor state capital to one of the richest state capitals, all of which are due to Su Chen and Chen Lin.
"This time, you can probably be promoted when you go back, and you will probably stay in Yandu in the future. King Han said to Su Chen.
"Hmm. Su Chen nodded, and he almost guessed, "Thank you for taking care of the prince." "If it weren't for the King of Cold, his excerpts would not have been able to reach the heavens, and no one would dare to interfere.
"You deserve it, and besides, a talent like you is what my royal brother wants. "King Han didn't take credit, he just did a small favor, if it weren't for Su Chen's own ability, he wouldn't have helped him.
"Ahem, you two don't want to flatter each other, don't be numb. Huang Yongxin saw that they were coming and going, and couldn't help but complain.
King Han glanced at him, the latter immediately shrunk his neck, and stopped speaking, before King Han looked at Su Chen, "I came this time to see the two kinds of grain you mentioned, is it really that the yield is so high?" It turned out that King Han also had something to do when he came over this time.
"Yes, we have seen it last year, among which the yield of sweet potatoes per mu can reach up to more than 4,000 catties, and the stems and leaves can be fed to pigs, do not pick the soil, the fertile land grows better, and the barren field can also have one or two thousand gold, raw cooked food can be, that is, cooked food is easy to heartburn if you eat too much,
The yield of potatoes is still unclear, and it is estimated that the yield should be about the same as 1000 catties to 1200 catties, which can be used as grain or as a side dish, and can be stored for a year if stored properly. Su Chen was happy as soon as he talked about this.
"It's the one my brother and sister have been looking for. Huang Yongxin asked.
"yes. Su Chen nodded, he didn't take advantage of his wife, he also mentioned this matter in his excerpt.
Two seeds Chen Lin asked people to help find them for ten years, and they finally brought them back to her three years ago, not much, some were planted last year, and the yield surprised Su Chen, with these two, how much can the starving people in the country be reduced.
Among them, sweet potatoes are the most important to Su Chen, the yield is really good, as for eating too much heartburn?
Moreover, there is no problem with boiling and eating sweet potatoes after they are shredded and dried, so it is easier to store and can be stored for several years like rice noodles.
Last year's sweet potatoes were kept and planted, as for eating those, it was inevitable that there would be injuries when digging, so they would naturally be eaten, the way of cutting sweet potatoes, the cutting and planting of potatoes, so that not many seeds planted a lot of land, especially sweet potatoes.
And seeing that it was almost time to harvest, he wrote an excerpt to report the matter, and then King Han brought the big Si Nong, who was in charge of the agricultural mulberry, to verify the truth of the matter.
Isn't it time yet, they hurried over, and in the past two days, Da Si Nong took people to watch in the field, and King Han came to chat with Su Chen.
"I didn't expect it to be such a high-yield grain, why didn't I know it. Huang Yongxin was depressed.
"What's the matter, you still want to rob others of the credit?" King Han squinted at him.
"No, how could I do that kind of thing, it's something that so many businessmen who go to sea don't know, I didn't expect my younger siblings to know. Huang Yongxin said with emotion.
"It was also Uchiko who happened to read an overseas travel book, which described that this kind of yield is very high, but it is used to feed pigs, cattle and sheep locally, and people disdain to eat it. Su Chen's eyes flashed and he said.
"Hey, it's actually feeding pigs, cows and sheep?" Huang Yongxin looked incredulous,
"When the drought comes, people can even eat tree bark, why can't this be eaten?" Su Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously.
"Ignore him, he doesn't know the suffering of the world. King Han spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes. Huang Yongxin also noticed it and nodded hurriedly.
"Lord Wang, father, Uncle Huang, the banquet has been arranged. Su Ling came over and invited them to take a seat.
"Xiao Su Ling is so old. Huang Yongxin sighed, and Su Ling showed a shy smile.
"Lord Wang, Brother Huang, please. Su Chen stood up and invited the two of them, and both of them also stood up and followed to the hall, where there was a table of eight immortals in the middle, and various dishes had been placed at this time.
