Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 192 Calculation
The south is different from the north. In most areas of the south, corn can be planted for two seasons. This is why Emperor Tai'an could bear the urgency in his heart and let the southern states first try planting in the official fields for one season.

Farmers in the south miss spring plowing and can plant another season of autumn corn. If the yield does not decrease, the autumn corn harvested in one season can almost equal the output of the previous two seasons of corn.

Emperor Tai'an originally wanted Chen Boyan to go back to his hometown to buy corn, but knowing that Chen Boyan and Yu Taibo's daughter were married in early October, he dismissed this idea and sent the right servant of the household department to Lingwu County to negotiate with the Chen family to purchase grain seeds. He also conveyed the order to Yu Jun, and Yu Jun will be the middleman in this transaction.

Emperor Tai'an was prepared to guard against the fact that the right servant of the household department saw that the Chen family was a small family. He relied on official authority to lower the price, and then took the difference between the middle prices.

After Mingmian's decree was delivered, the queen in the harem received the news and quickly sent Wu Shengzhe a secret letter to remind him to make preparations.

The Chen family's corn seeds did not use high-yield gimmicks to raise the price of the seeds, but sold them at very ordinary prices, and in the shop, there were also dried, but not peeled corn cobs for display.

The word "high yield" does not mean that farmers will believe it when they say it out, but now there are corn cobs longer and thicker than ordinary corn cobs as samples. Farmers only need to look at this product, and they will know it in their hearts, so The corn seed business of Chen's grain shop is particularly good.

On the other hand, the right servant of the household department followed Yu Jun to the Chen family's Zhuangzi, and after seeing the quality of the corn, he bought all the corn in the Chen family's warehouse. Same, five cents per catty cheaper than the market price.

Then I went to Chen's house for lunch at noon. Chen Boyu entertained the right servant of the household department in the outer courtyard, and invited several gentlemen from the school to accompany him. Because Yu Jun also brought his son Yu Zhengze with him, Chen Boyu took Tang Yaoling, Mu Yang and Weichen also called out to accompany Yu Zhengze.

Hubu Shi Shilang looked at Tang Yaoling's three outstanding young men, and said to Chen Boyu: "I never thought that Chen Langjun's family would have such outstanding three children."

Chen Boyu pointed to Mu Yang and Wei Chen and said, "Brother Yang and Brother Chen are Mr. Wu's disciples. These two children have pitiful backgrounds. Both of their parents died when they were young. They grew up with Mr. Wu."

After finishing, Chen Boyu deliberately coughed, and said the words to the right servant of the household department, but his eyes were on Yu Jun: "Da Lang is the son of my old friend, and at the beginning of the year, he had already made an appointment with my eldest daughter." , he and sister Qiao from my family also studied with Mr. Wu, so they have a very good relationship as brothers and sisters."

Although Tang Yaoling's appearance is the most outstanding among several young people, whether it is Mu Yang, Wei Chen, or Yu Zhengze, they are all handsome young people, so Tang Yaoling is not too eye-catching among the three, and Chen Boyu deliberately Qi Yujun's behavior instantly attracted the attention of Hubu Youshilang.

The lunch ended smoothly. With the help of the soldiers in Yu Jun's hands, Hubu Youshilang quickly loaded the corn seeds he had bought into the car, and boarded the boat back to Shangdu smoothly in the evening.

Three days later, the right servant of the household department returned to Shangdu, and after handing in the errand, he saw Yuan Xie that night.

Yuan Zhi is more than 50 years old, with a white face and no beard, with a feminine appearance and a pair of narrow and long eyes, very sharp. He listened to the words of Shi Shilang, and he didn't pay attention to the outstanding young men mentioned by the right servant of Hubu. Instead, he confirmed: "Then Yu Jun, do you really want your son to marry the Chen family's daughter?"

The right servant of the Ministry of Finance nodded and said: "It's true, the official spent a lot of money to inquire with Yu Jun's soldiers. It is said that His Majesty got the blueprint of new agricultural tools from Yu Jun, including the rice mill and flour mill. The machine is all from the hands of the young lady of the Chen family, but Chen Boyu feels that his family has no foundation, and it is not a good thing that his daughter is too smart.

So he presented the blueprints to Yu Jun, and the rewards His Majesty gave Yu Jun, Yu Jun also sent them to the Chen family. Otherwise, how could the Chen family, a small farmer, become prosperous and open a shop in just a few years? It is to set up Dazhuangzi again. "

After hearing this, Yuan Yan smiled coldly: "This news should be revealed to you by Yu Jun hinting at those soldiers. Lord Lingwu was surrounded by him like an iron bucket. My people tried their best, but they couldn't penetrate it. He knew You are my person, so through your mouth, I deliberately revealed some unimportant news to me, in the name of giving some sweetness, so that I can settle down for a while.

It's a pity that he underestimates me too much, thinking that he can fool me like this, but that's not possible. I remember that Chen Boyan got married on the eighth day of October. His brother and sister-in-law will definitely bring their children to Shangdu. You have seen the little lady of the Chen family No? "

The right servant of the household department thought of General Yuan's lustful, cruel nephew, and hesitated for a moment, but decided to take the risk to persuade him: "No, the officer disembarked from the pier, and was picked up by Yu Jun's personal soldiers. Zhuangzi of the family went to Chen's house for lunch after seeing the corn seeds and negotiating the price in Zhuangzi, but Chen Boyu's wife and children did not show up.

And that Miss Chen has already been engaged to her third senior brother. According to the inquiries of her subordinates, Chen Boyu is a teacher of the Immortal Medicine. Although he is just a commoner, he has good medical skills. It is best not to offend such a genius doctor who has been snatched back from the ghost gate several times, and used Yu Junkangjian's extraordinary medical skills as ordinary people as the medium to build it. "

Seeing such veiled persuasion from the right servant of the household department, Yuan Zhi frowned, and said angrily: "Why, let his daughter marry the grand nephew of the great general, and wronged his daughter?"

The right servant of the household department trembled, and quickly knelt down and said: "The general calms down, this is not what I mean by the lower official. Although the lower official has not had a long relationship with Chen Boyu, from his actions, it can be seen that he is a very committed person. Since he I have already promised my daughter to the son of an old friend, so I will not backfire, so I persuaded the general to give up this idea."

Yuan Sha felt aggrieved, but thinking that this person was still useful to him, he didn't vent his anger on him, and waved him to retreat.

The right servant of the household department came out of Yuanzhai, and he was greatly relieved. At the same time, he was surprised that his underwear was soaked. It was really terrible to work for such a moody person. Maybe he would die that day. He couldn't go on like this .

In Yuan Zhai, Yuan Sha got up and went to the dungeon. No one knew the specific layout of this place except Yuan Sha, and the guards outside the dungeon were all loyal to Yuan Sha. He heard the faint screams coming from inside. , the expressions of these guards are very dull.

Half an hour later, Yuan Xie came out of the dungeon, and on the way back to his yard, he sneered coldly: "Is it a promise? But if your own daughter is not disciplined, people can still ask for a broken shoe, a girl with mud legs , hired as a wife for my grandnephew, after all I have wronged my grandnephew, let her be a bed-warming maid!"
