I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 818 Autumn Day
Zhenyuan left as soon as he said that, and the child took Zilu away. This time Zilu was not sent away, but followed him back to the northeast with all his heart.

The military exercise on the northeast border has also ended. The foreigners in the north who have been making small moves have been honest, and the soldiers on the northeast border have accelerated the construction of defense.

The summer in the Northeast is not so hot. After a few heavy rains, you can feel the obvious drop in temperature, which means that the summer is coming to an end. The forest resources in the Northeast are rich, and mountain delicacies from various states in the Northeast have appeared in the market one after another.

Some precious Hericium erinaceus and other mushrooms are bought by merchants from all over the place, and the common people will go to the mountains to collect mushrooms whenever they have time.

The delicacies and dry goods workshops built in Yunzhou are already in operation, and the bees in Yunzhou are also doing well, and merchants charge high prices for honey.

The Yunzhou government government also taught the people how to dry some dried wild vegetables, which can be used after soaking hair in winter, and also taught the people how to make mushroom sauce and so on.

Some merchants will buy some if they eat well. Although they can't make a lot of money, they can still supplement their families.

Ziheng was worried that the mushrooms he collected would be poisoned. He personally led people to spot-check the mushrooms collected. In order to further ensure safety, the mushrooms collected were all fresh mushrooms, and the workshop would dry and seal them by itself.

For this reason, the workshop recruited many workers to check the mushrooms one by one. When Ziheng arrived, more than 50 people checked the mushrooms one by one to see if there was any problem.

In order to ensure safety, the workshop collects only mushrooms that are known to the public, and some rare mushrooms that are not well known are not dared to be collected.

Once there is a problem, the workshop must be responsible, and it will be found on the head of the individual, because everyone who is responsible for the purchase must sign, and when the mushroom is sealed, it will be marked who received the mushroom.

Because of this rule, none of the inspectors dared to be lazy.

After the inspection, Ziheng was relieved, and he went to the dry goods purchase place. There were more people here, and the people lined up in a long line to deliver hazelnuts.

The bushes of hazelnuts are not tall, so children can collect them without danger. As long as they avoid other branches and don't hurt their eyes, children can collect several baskets a day.

The hazelnuts are all shelled, and there are size regulations when buying them. The workshop specially hired a carpenter to make a screen, leaving one price for the big ones, and another price for the small ones. The workshops that are especially small don’t accept them.

A basket can cost more than 67 catties, because the price is low if it is not dried in the sun. It costs two yuan per catty, and a basket can sell for sixty or seventy yuan. Don’t underestimate the sixty or seventy yuan. Now that the imperial court controls the market, merchants dare not mess around Once the price increase is found out, severe penalties will be imposed. In addition, the salt price of the imperial court will be reduced again.

Now that autumn has just come out and it’s not yet autumn, pine nuts can be collected in a few days, and some precious herbs grow in the forest. Many pictures of herbs have been posted outside the medical hall of the Ministry of Medicine. Gather it back and sell it to the medical center of the medical department.

Although the fields have been deserted for many years, the grain output is not high this year, but there are other incomes and the people feel at ease.

The shops of wool workshops also opened, and some merchants also transported cotton to the north for sale.

Ziheng will be appreciated by the people all the way. He does practical things for the people and people ignore his age. Ziheng is still a young man.

It is rare for Zhenyuan to ask gossip, "Cousin, what kind of girl is worthy of you if you are so outstanding!"

Ziheng looked at his little cousin, "You are old enough to think about what wife to marry."

Zhenyuan, ".I'm still young."

Ziheng laughed, "You are also a person with a title, and you are also your mother's nephew. With your status and wealth, you are the son-in-law of many people!"

Zhenyuan thought of his mother's letter, "Hey, someone has already gone to Dezhou to ask my mother, but my mother dare not agree for me, and anyone who asks her will say that my aunt is in charge of my marriage."

Ziheng chuckled, "My father said that my uncle is in charge of my marriage."

The two looked at each other and laughed, which showed that they had no intention of getting married.

Zilu said faintly: "How old am I, and some people ask me!"

Zhenyuan stroked his little cousin's hair, "You are the Marquis of Anping, the hereditary successor."

Whose daughter marries her cousin is Mrs. Anping Hou. In the future, the aunt and uncle will separate, and the cousin will get an estate that can't be spent in several lifetimes. In addition to the political capital he represents, the cousin is also a golden baby.

In Jiaozhou, Yang Xixuan got the lease contract signed by Hulechina, which is indeed a lease. Hulechina firmly refused to sell the land, and finally took a step back and leased the land for ten years.

Yang Xixuan wanted to lease for a maximum of five years, but Hu Lechi was unwilling. Both of them knew that the peace agreement would be torn up sooner or later. At present, the grassland does not have strong firepower, and Yang Xixuan needs time to build the north, so both sides took a step back.

Now the grassland is suffering from severe drought, and it will take a few years to recover from the loss of the grassland. Hule China has been working for ten years in the hope of getting more food.

Although Yang Xixuan didn't want to, he got an area that might have minerals by the way. This area is a bonus.

Originally, Yang Xixuan meant to take the land first, and then expand to areas with mineral resources, but now it has become an extension. Anyway, the pastures in this area have not been fertile, and Hule China agreed after thinking about it.

Yang Xixuan paid the rent with salt and grain, and at the same time sent an order to the northeast to ask Ziheng to pickle more wild vegetables, so that he would continue to pay the rent with wild vegetables in winter.

Yang Xixuan also wrote a letter to Guan Yi. He asked Guan Yi if he was willing to exchange grain for some technology. Of course, the technology exchanged was the earliest technology that was eliminated, and the imperial court used technology that had been updated several times.

In the eyes of the imperial court, Guan Yi has always been a wealthy family, and the abundance of food makes the imperial court jealous. Unfortunately, foreigners hate Guan Yi so much that they will not sell technology to Guan Yi. Guan Yi still can only rely on the Huaguo imperial court.

Yang Xixuan would not use the country's food to Hu Lechina, he prefers to pass it on to Guan Yi and other small overseas countries.

After the founding of the country, the imperial court not only expedited the construction, but also did a lot of business with small countries, from timber to various minerals, with a focus on the silver mines of the country.

Yang Xixuan expressed his purpose bluntly. There were more than [-] warships arriving with the envoys. The warships were parked near Heguo Harbor, and their cannons were aimed at the coastline.

He Guo was so angry that he wanted to eat people, so he had to bear it. Where did Emperor Yang send envoys to negotiate? It was a threat at all, but Emperor Yang was famous for fighting if he said he would fight, so they didn't dare to bet!

In the end, he could only aggrieved and agreed to the envoy's conditions.

This shows that Yang Xixuan was taught by Yang Xi and his wife. When they taught, they talked about the currency crisis. The court attached great importance to it and was discussing how to slowly change the currency.

Yang Xi and his wife meant that after the capital was moved back to the capital, the couple would speed up the research on steam engines and the improvement of the country's status in the world, which would also be conducive to the reform of the currency.

So Yang Xixuan is gradually reducing some crises.

When Hule China got the food, his actions became even bigger. Many small countries were destroyed, and some countries were threatened, such as Lanta and other rich countries.

Recently, the Lanta Kingdom has also increased its army, but unfortunately the training has not yet yielded results, and it is still relying on the forest miasma as a barrier.

Yang Xixuan has received many requests for help. It is okay to ask for help, but there is a price to pay.

After Hule China found out, he was also very angry. His actions cost a lot of his life, and Yang Xixuan got paid without paying anything.

However, Hu Lechi really didn't dare to tear himself apart with Yang Xixuan, he still needed Yang Xixuan's food.

The drought continued until mid-autumn. God did not cut off the grassland's livelihood. Finally, it rained heavily. In half a month, it rained five times in a row.

The seeds in the prairie soil have recovered, and green shoots have emerged. Fortunately, the temperature has not dropped to form heavy snow, and God has given the prairie a sigh of relief.

The autumn harvest in the northeast of Huaguo is over. The grain seeds are selected grains. As long as they grow into corn, they can be harvested. Although the yield per mu is less than half of that in the south, it is not bad for the north.

The grain was dried and stored, the corn stalks were sold to the pastures that raised sheep, and the roots of the corn were dug up and used as firewood at home. The people praised Yang Xixuan, the emperor, every day.

Now the people in the Northeast not only pick mountain products, but also dig wild vegetables to pickle. In winter, the government pays money to buy them, as long as they don't cut corners and materials, the government will accept them.

Yunzhou is a dry goods workshop opened by the government government. Other states are opened by some merchants. In order to facilitate transportation, the repair of the main road has been accelerated.

In Beijing, Yang Xi and his wife spent the winter in the capital this year. Zhou Yu went to the college to teach a class from time to time. Not long ago, the capital received a large amount of funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now that the capital is financially rich, the merchants in the capital have shrunk again.

Zhou Yu came back from school that day, his expression was not good, Yang Xi took a look, "Who made you angry?"

Zhou Yu held an article in his hand, "Look at this article."

Yang Xi took it over and looked at it suspiciously, "It's well written!"

Zhou Yu snorted, "I also understand Zhou Ziyu's situation, this article is beyond what he can think of."
