Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 287 Coming out in full force
Perhaps it was because they had just finished their college examinations and there were still many students left behind, so the street was particularly lively.

Since coming to Zhending Mansion, Gu Wenxuan has been preparing for the exam every day. Except for going to Lin Mansion, Gongyuan, and sending people out of the city that day, he has never stepped out of the gate.

In fact, not to mention Dajiang, who is close to him and Meng Bulijiao, Gu Wenyu and others are not much different from the two of them, and rarely go out on the street.

Now that the college exam is over, no matter what the results are, everyone's tense mood is much more relaxed, and they all want to go out early in the morning.

Zhou Changping and others, who will be the first to leave tomorrow morning, also want to go out for a walk. If there are suitable souvenirs, they are ready to bring them to their parents and children.

There are a lot of people with different shopping purposes, so it is impossible for them all to go to the same place.

Uncle Gu and others wanted to visit the Nanshi market, Xiaobai wanted to go shopping in Dongshi as a family, and Dajiang Xiaohe wanted to go to the bookstore.

Zhou Banxia still asked Gu Youhua to send a few more people to accompany them on the street. Dajiang Xiaohe even brought all the book boys with him, and asked Gu Jiaxing to follow closely.

Dajiang Xiaohe knew that the third sister was worried about the personal safety of the two brothers, so she didn't mind the crowd.

Zhou Banxia asked them to remember where and when to meet in the afternoon. Dajiang quickly took Xiaohe's hand and went out, got on the carriage and went to calligraphy and painting a street.

If the two brothers don't go out, the third sister will definitely change the plan at short notice, and the third brother-in-law will accompany the two brothers to the bookstore to stay.

After being here for so many days, it was rare for her third brother-in-law to accompany her for a walk around the streets. There was really no need to bring his two brothers with her. They could only care about how well they enjoyed themselves.

After seeing off his caring brother-in-law, Gu Wenxuan didn't waste any time. Before the sun was too strong, he and Zhou Banxia went to the livestock market to buy horses.

Passing by the Shunyi Escort Agency in the south of the city, I picked up Uncle Qi, the martial arts master of the Escort Agency.

When he arrived at the livestock market, Gu Wenxuan fell in love with a brown horse and a dark horse from the three good horses that Uncle Qi helped him select.

Because he had to take the college entrance examination, Zhou Banxia was afraid that he and Dajiang would hurt his arms and break his legs while riding horses and shooting arrows, so he was not even allowed to ride horses on the road.

At this time, she saw Gu Wenxuan happily running around for a trial run. Although she didn't know how to read horses, she decisively took out her banknote and paid due to the good looks of the man and the horse.

Seventy-five silver for two horses, along with two pairs of saddles and bridles and other auxiliary equipment for horse riding, just made up a bank note of one hundred taels of silver.

Among them, the fee to pay for the paperwork is not much. It only costs 50 yuan to change the paperwork for one horse. If you pay 100 yuan, the two horses will be completely named Gu and Zhou.

After paying deposits for two more carriages, the two of them stayed at this shop that specializes in carriages, waiting for the carriages to be renovated, paying the remaining payment, and driving back.

They rented a carriage to send Uncle Qi back to Shunyi Escort Agency. With no outsiders around them, the couple began to have fun.

There is a river near the livestock market, so I went to the upper reaches of the river to find a hidden place.

One person listens to all directions and sees all directions, and one person begins to "change the water."

Although it was an ordinary river, when I "changed the water", I saw groups of fish and shrimps running into the puddles "inside" with the river water.

Zhou Banxia didn't know if it had something to do with the little trick she did just now - spreading the mixed bait into the river nearby.

Seeing fish and shrimps, big and small, and even river grass "running" into the pit, she didn't dare to stay any longer. When the water in the puddle was almost full, she quickly gave the signal.

A bird chirps.

Go quickly. Gu Wenxuan kept staring around, occasionally glancing at Zhou Banxia to see if he had fallen into the river, and he didn't know what happened in the river.

Hearing the chirping of birds made him happy, and he reached out to hold Zhou Banxia's hand and left the river without any hurry.

Even if someone was passing by, he and his wife were a serious couple with their marriage certificates on them, so why wouldn't they be happy that he took his wife to pick wild vegetables around?
"The area where I bought horses is used to sell donkeys and mules, the next area is selling cattle and sheep, and the area beyond that is selling pigs. Do you want to buy two pigs?"

"...Okay, my brain is flooded anyway."

Gu Wenxuan tried his best not to laugh.

That's not what he said.

Leaving the river, we returned to the road and found a carriage.

I went to a street adjacent to the Shunyi Escort Bureau. While buying seeds from a grain store I had seen when passing by, I also inquired about the current wheat market.

These days, the weather is good, and the upper fields in the north are only between one stone and five to two stones of wheat, the middle fields are between one and one stone and five acres, and the lower fields are less than one stone.

One stone is one hundred and twenty kilograms, and an acre of farmland is two to three hundred kilograms. This yield does not take into account the number of seeds per mu and the land tax to be paid.

This year is as smooth as last year, but because the wheat harvest has been completed, refined semolina ground from new wheat is much cheaper than last November.

Last year, fine noodles cost two taels of silver and one stone, but now they only cost one tael and seven cents.

If the purchase quantity is considerable, it is not impossible to negotiate for a penny less.

But this is still the selling price at the grain store. The price of wheat sold by farmers today is definitely not much higher than last year. It is gratifying that it is not lower than last year.

Low prices hurt farmers, and abundant crops also hurt farmers.

Farmers are reluctant to eat it, and even most wealthy families dare not eat polished rice and noodles.

Daliang has been going for nearly two hundred years. According to the historical laws of the feudal dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be many disadvantages and it is difficult to recover. It is not at the end of the road. It is really thanks to the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

After all, for the common people, even if they eat bran and drink water every day, rely on sweet potatoes to survive, and fewer people die of starvation, it is already a prosperous era of peace and prosperity. Who wants to rebel?

After buying seeds from this grain store, Gu Wenxuan didn't need to remind him. Zhou Banxia had already informed the three village heads that the wheat turned in by the tenants under his name not only could not be sold, but also had to be bought.

First, try to harvest wheat from tenants as much as possible, so that the tenants in your name will not be peeled off by grain merchants and sell the wheat at a low price, and you can also pay land taxes and poll taxes in a timely manner.

Take advantage of this wheat harvest season to buy more farm wheat and store it in various granaries. Do the same for the corn harvest in the second half of the year. Store as much as possible. We will notify you when new grain comes in next year.

In fact, corn is the most suitable as a reserve grain. It is cheaper than rice and wheat and can be stored for a long time without damaging the quality of corn.

After buying seeds from the grain store, I went to the nearby cloth shop, snack shop, blacksmith shop, and then to the rouge shop where I bought and inquired, and then went to the market in the south of the city.

The couple did not dare to stay here for long, for fear of meeting Uncle Gu and others, so they bought chickens and ducks while purchasing seasonal fresh fruits, and left quickly.

At this time, the sun had already risen very high, so there was no need to "look at" the alarm clock. Looking at the sky, they knew it was almost noon, so the two of them simply walked back and strolled all the way back.

The weather is really hot, so I should go back after being out for half a day to see if anyone has come back with a message or something, in case someone gets into trouble on the street today and the couple can't be found.
