The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 403 Pleading for Your Life (1)
An Rongzhou stomped his feet, "How much did your Majesty order?"

"Thirty catties." Zhou Boyan reported the count, and did not forget to ask Qing Shu, "Is the rest enough for thirty catties?"

Qing Shu thought for a while, and said with a embarrassed face, "I don't know if the Holy Majesty wants fruit wine, and I drank a lot during the seven or eight days of the Chinese New Year. If I stopped drinking it for you from today, it would be enough for thirty catties."

"What? No drink today?" An Rongzhou sighed.

"Okay, the rest can't be moved anymore, and all must be sealed up. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will go to Beijing and take it to my uncle." Zhou Boyan told the plan.

Thinking that he would have to return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and brother Yan would not return to Beijing until fifteen years later, counting the days, the fruit wine would not arrive in the capital after the first month, and he would not be able to drink fruit wine until the first month.He thought about it, and came up with an idea, "Forget it, brother, take care, the fruit wine ordered by the Holy Spirit, brother will help you transport it back to Beijing."

"This is a hard job, so I won't bother you big brother. Let me personally escort it!"

"Are you a brother? If you are a brother, don't say those nonsense, it's settled like this. You prepare the fruit wine, and the elder brother will prepare the troops in the future, and the things will be delivered in a stable manner. Don't worry!"

"Don't bother big brother, this matter..."

An Rongzhou waved his hand, "That's it. Brother, go out and call back those idlers." While speaking, his people were already ten steps away.

Qing Shu, who had been unable to get in the way, asked suspiciously, "Who is he going to call?"

There was no one around, Xiaoya had already gone down.Zhou Boyan took her hand into the study, closed the door and whispered, "Secret agent."

"What?" Qing Shu's eyes widened.

"Don't worry, Uncle's spies escorting Uncle's wine will be safe. It's just right, so I don't have to go to Beijing." He just put on a show just now, the purpose is to let An Rongzhou take over the job.

Qing Shu figured out his intention, and replied, "You did it on purpose."

"It's good for him to go back to Beijing, so he won't have to jump up and down under my nose all day, which makes my head hurt."

She returned the bank note to him, "I dare not accept your uncle's money, just take the fruit wine away."

"It's not uncle's money."

"Your money? I don't want your money either. Your uncle will owe me a favor if he drinks my fruit wine. One day we mess with someone who can't be messed with, and when we can't get it right, just ask your uncle to return the favor. Help us settle it." She said so bluntly.

"That's a good idea. However, you deserve the money." While speaking, he hugged Qingshu into his arms and whispered in her ear, "When I ask for compensation from Yeluhu for you, I will By the way, he said that His Majesty likes to drink a hundred taels of fine wine in the world. Yeluhu understood it very well, and forced me to give it to me with 2000 taels of silver." His words were true, he had told Master Li of the Ministry of Rites at that time, 5000 taels, otherwise no discussion.

After discussion, Yeluhu agreed to pay 3000 taels of compensation, but he was not prepared to pay more.He just said that.Yeluhu shut up at that time, obediently added 2000 taels.At that time, he didn't hand over all the 5000 taels to Qing Shu, and he definitely didn't mean to take it for himself, but planned to give it to Qing Shu when he picked up the fruit wine.

Qing Shu rubbed the bank note in his hand, "It means that your uncle doesn't know about the bank note."

"Ah."

"It means that your uncle still drinks my girl's fruit wine for nothing, and still owes me a favor."

He suppressed a smile, "Yeah."

With a heartbroken face, she separated the two thousand taels of silver bills, and patted one on his chest, "You are the only way to get this extra money. Let's share it equally!"

He stared at her painful expression, not daring to laugh out loud, "It's just for you, don't share it with me."

She was not happy, "Just take it if you let me, it's rare for this girl to be generous."

He suppressed a smile, "Okay, I'll take half of it. However, I will entrust you with the money for safekeeping. When I want to use it, I will ask you for it."

She froze for a moment, folded the two silver bills, put them in her sleeve pocket, and hummed vaguely.Why does she feel that this matter is like a husband handing over his salary to his wife for safekeeping, she feels a little weird.Still, it doesn't feel like a nuisance.

There were so many interruptions in the middle, she forgot to ask him why he was in a bad mood for a while.

He suddenly asked, "What are you buying wasteland for?"

"Wasteland is cheap! I have made a plan. Part of the wasteland will be opened up to plant fruit trees. If the fruit trees survive and bear fruit, you can eat them yourself. If you can't finish eating, you can sell them. Part of the wasteland will be opened up. I plan to plant a large area. Chili. Chili is a good condiment, I think you all like it, and you will definitely not worry about selling it."

"What if it doesn't work?"

Qing Shu was not happy, pinched his arm, "Don't be crowed."

Zhou Boyan hurriedly corrected his words, "I just asked casually, I didn't say you couldn't do it."

"You're sensible." She stopped haggling with him, "How can this girl not succeed in what I want to do? There is a saying that where there is a will, there is a way. When planting fruit trees, I plan to raise poultry in the orchard." , raise some chickens, ducks and geese. In this way, even if the fruit trees fail, there are still edible eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, as well as edible poultry meat. As for peppers, if you care about them carefully, you can also harvest on the wasteland. If I do this for a few years, my wasteland can be turned into fertile land.”

He looked at her confident and high-spirited appearance when she spoke, and he was in a happy mood, "Aren't you going to buy fertile land?"

When this matter was mentioned, her face was slightly disappointed, "There has been no suitable one, how can I buy it? I want the kind of large-scale contiguous fertile land, which is not easy to manage and manage when it is scattered."

"Girl, why are you so interested in farming?"

"Food is the most important thing for the people. This is a good saying. If you want to have enough food and clothing, you have to farm."

"I heard that last year's yield per mu of corn on your farm was half a stone higher than that of other houses."

She immediately frowned and grabbed his collar, "Nonsense, who dares to talk nonsense? Let's see if I don't pull this girl out to beat him." It is a fact that the yield per mu of corn in Zhuangzi is half a stone higher than that of others. .But she had warned in the morning that such words must not be spread.She didn't want to experience another "winter wheat" incident.It is not a good thing to attract the attention of the imperial court and the attention of agricultural officials.

In autumn, the imperial court did not express its position on the planting of winter wheat, which does not mean that it was forgotten.If her guess is correct, the court probably wants to observe her winter wheat field again.If the output is stable, or higher than last year, don't think about it, it is estimated that at least half of Huizhou will be able to grow winter wheat.Furthermore, after winter wheat is harvested, farmers can plant various legumes with relatively short growing seasons.And now beans are not cheap feed for livestock, but valuable items that can be made into all kinds of food.In this way, it is certain that Huizhou will plant winter wheat on a large scale.
