Chapter 62 The Power of the Seed
Chapter 62 The Power of Seeds
Yun Zhao is extremely looking forward to Xu Guangqi's package!
He didn't know what was inside, but he only knew that if all the things he needed could come over, he would have the ability to improve the food shortage of people in Guanzhong.
Although it is impossible to achieve it overnight, he hopes to plant a large number of people after trial planting himself.
The mailing system in the Ming Dynasty was very developed. At least, Yun Zhao believed that people could mail people and goods together, and they were very credible.
Yun Zhao received his parcel and also received a person.
Yun Zhao was not interested in this person at all, he only cared about the three car seeds.
"This little boy, where is my Erlang?"
Yun Zhao pulled out a corn cob from the carriage and breathed a long sigh of relief, then got into the carriage and continued to tinker.
A half-foot-long sweet potato was held in Yun Zhao's arms and was reluctant to let go.
"This little boy, where is my Erlang?"
Yun Zhao looked up at the old servant with white hair and hair and said, "Where are the potatoes I want?"
The old servant smiled and said, "You mean Dutch potato?"
Yun Zhao frowned and said, "Has the Dutch established the country?"
The old servant smiled and said, "No, he is still under the rule of the Spanish."
“Where are my potatoes?”
"Dutch potato!"
"He will call him Potato from now on!"
The old servant was unwilling to argue with Yun Zhao, so he came to another carriage, opened a box, took out a fist-sized potato and handed it to Yun Zhao and said, "The second master has prepared two hundred kilograms of Dutch potatoes that the second master wants!"
Yun Zhao rubbed the rough outer skin of the potato and whispered: "Too few."
The old servant smiled and said, "This is half the output of the master's experimental field."
"Have you calculated the yield per mu?"
"Two thousand six hundred kilograms, but this is the result of the careful service of sixteen farmers in this acre of land. The master said that in Guanzhong, the sandy field of Tianzi can be about 1,800 kilograms. If Xiao Lang expects to plant in the dryland, the yield per mu will not exceed 800 kilograms."
I talked to this old servant very easily, mainly because I was able to understand the way I spoke. Whether it was the new terms "test field" or "calculation" they didn't need to explain, they could understand it by saying it.
The old servant naturally discovered this, but he was not surprised. After all, this fat child should be the disciple of the second master.
After hearing what the old servant said about the yield per mu, Yun Zhao was somewhat disappointed. Judging from the average yield per mu of 8,000 kilograms of potatoes in the village he helped to help, the yield per mu shrank too much.
"Xiaolang, where is my Erlang?"
Yun Zhao grabbed his ear and said, "Sir, he is dead."
The old servant was not surprised by this sentence and bowed again, "Please tell me where my Erlang died?"
Yun Zhao pointed to the front yard of the Yun family mansion and said, "I died in the school. I woke up once in the morning and ate a lot of food. It's noon now, so I probably died again."
The old servant smiled slightly, thanked Yun Zhao and went straight to the school.
Yun Meng and his men had already unloaded all the goods on the carriage and spread the floor all over.
The number of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes is the largest, and the rest are a small bag of seeds. Many Yun Zhao doesn't know them, but Yun Zhao still knows pepper seeds.
While waiting for the seeds to arrive, Yun Zhao, the cellar where the seeds were stored, had already been dug up by someone.
Seeing the things going down the cellar with their own eyes, Yun Fu locked the cellars himself and hung the keys on his waist.
It is best to leave valuable things to Yunfu for safekeeping. Until now, Yun Zhao cannot find the Yun family arsenal.
"Is these things useful?" Yun Fu looked at the cellar and then looked at Yun Zhao. This was the first time he discovered that Yun Zhao valued something so much. At least, he picked up one of the two silver ingots in his arms yesterday.
"If done well, these things are a life."
Yun Fu nodded, then squatted beside the cellar and started smoking, and it seemed that he was not ready to leave.
When Yun Zhao returned to the school, the husband had obviously cried, and the old servant was even more crying. The huge old man was so excited that he was about to thrust.
Yun Zhao pulled out a plant of evergreen plant planted by his husband, loosened the soil, and planted two pepper seeds.
He didn't know if these pepper seeds could sprout and form peppers. In short, he was a little anxious.
Xu Yuanshou pushed a bag to Yun Zhao and said, "The gate has been repaired."
Yun Zhao curled his lips and said, "It's too few, so it can't be built well."
"Two hundred and two hundred are enough to cover a door."
"Not enough, just the two stone lions squatting at the door are more than this price."
"What does the academy want the stone lion for?"
"Suppress the evil!"
Xu Yuanshou looked at Yun Zhao and said, "These two hundred taels of 1 stone lion should be enough!"
"Then make one first?"
"I'm not afraid of slowness, I'm afraid of stopping!"
"Yun Meng is a very good stonemason!"
"He can only chisel the lion into a dog!"
Seeing Mr. Xu’s smile appearing on his face, Yun Zhao waved his hand and left the room.
The husband's mood improved. It seemed that he and his brother did not have feelings, but the knot in his heart could not be solved.
My mother was directing the servants to transfer the food in the Aigufang to the mountains, and the government was about to collect autumn grains. It was not appropriate to put too much food at home.
With money at home, my mother's confidence was extremely strong, so the high wall at the entrance of the valley was thicker.
In the evening, Yunxiao, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, came back with a wooden box. He opened the wooden box and gave it to Yun Zhao, Yun Meng, Yun Hu, and Yun Bao after seeing it, and handed it to a bandit to take it out.
"Kill Monk Peng so soon?"
Yun Zhao was a little puzzled. According to his estimate, this matter would still take some trouble.
"The head was brought by Monk Peng's wife."
"What a cruel woman!"
"You should say that she is such a bold woman. After she killed her husband, she didn't ask his brother to exchange for money, but came with the head on her own. She was considered a smart person."
"You let that woman go?"
"No, I killed her only after I killed her brother."
Yun Zhao yawned and said, "Who will take over the Yukou of Chang'an County?"
"Yun Jiao has gone, the second and third masters of Monk Peng's second and third masters were killed by Yun Jiao, and the rest of us were followed."
"Transfer people out and put them all in Qingyu, build reservoirs there, and clear the land! I want those land next year."
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and made a decision.
"Qingyu cannot raise five thousand people."
"Can you last a year if you use all the food and grass that Monk Peng has brought?"
Yunxiao nodded and said, "If you can hold on, you will be more hard-working. It would be great to be able to live these days. No one will complain about the hardships of life."
Before entering the mansion, Yun Zhao said to Yun Meng: "If you eat my family's food, you must participate in the training of troops. Everyone will practice, regardless of men, children, women or elderly people!"
"Practice all?"
"All practices, the court has ordered the formation of a group training, so I will use this name."
"We are thieves?"
Yun Fu interrupted, "Can you tell who is the team trainer and who is the thief? Do you expect those officials and men to tell them clearly?
It is very important to connect Yunmeng, Chang'an and Lantian counties into one. The young master moved the people from Monk Peng's old camp, which will make it easier for you to command the valleys of Chang'an County.
In the next two years, don’t treat those people harshly, and don’t let them eat too much. Give them a day to give them food, don’t be afraid of trouble.”
After hearing Yun Fu's words, Yun Zhao smiled slightly and entered the door.
The gentleman was in a state of great excitement today and had no time to teach. Yun Yang went to the city wall construction site again. Yun Juan, Yun Shu went to the mountain to dig yam and Polygonatum. This was the staple food for their brothers in winter.
Yun Zhao looked back for a long time before finding money behind the gate.
"Can't you stand in the sun?"
"No, the girls in Mingyue Tower, mothers dislike me for being unlucky and can't always be seen by them. You don't know, I have lived in my sister's skirt for a while."
“…No one hits you here.”
"I'd better be careful, don't worry, my ears are very sharp, as long as you call me, I will definitely hear it."
"What did you hear just now?"
"Monk Peng was killed by his wife."
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, it's not killing my sister!"
Yun Zhao dug his ears and said helplessly: "Do you want to practice martial arts?"
"I've practiced!"
"Have you practiced? Who taught you?"
"An old swordsman in Xi'an wanted to lie to me and follow him. I couldn't bear to leave my sister and didn't go. However, he taught me a lot of things, such as how to hide it."
"Why didn't you help your sister when she was snatched away by Yunhu?"
"I can't beat it, but I remember Yunhu's appearance... I'm going to come to Yunhu when I grow up and save my sister."
