This land was contracted by me [farming]

After the task was completed, Zhao Keran went to the system mall.

There are a lot of reward points this time, and there are also many lit seeds.

In addition to vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots, the rapeseed that he had been thinking about finally lit up.

It is okay to limit the supply of flax oil now, but the output is less after all.The taste of stir-fried vegetables is also slightly poor, so there are not so many problems with vegetable oil.

Zhao Keran thought that in the future, he would use flax oil as Jingyang's specialty oil, which would be specially sold and supplied for special sale, so he couldn't lose out on such a good nutritional value.

After he had an idea in mind, he asked Shumo to recruit people, and Zhao Keran was going to organize a buying team to deceive people.

The acquisition team is responsible for collecting seeds for him from all over the world, and comes back once a season to directly connect with him.

Maybe there will be some unexpected gains too.

...

When going to the barracks, Zhao Keran called Hong Feng.

At such an advanced age, Hong Feng had never been to a military camp before. When he thought of discussing the cloth shoe business, and the Hong family could finally get a piece of the shoe market, he was very happy.

The first batch of cloth shoes had already been made, and Zhao Keran's share was also given to him, but Zhao Keran was in no rush to sell them.

He planned to go public after negotiating with the military, otherwise he might be intercepted.

The craftsmanship of thousand-layer-soled cloth shoes is neither difficult nor difficult, it is just a matter of ingenuity.I didn't before because I didn't expect that if you look at the finished product, anyone can make it with just a hint.

He didn't want to spoil Hong Feng's good deeds.

Now that Hong Feng is vying for the market with the Wang family, he doesn't even want to take advantage of the Wang family.

"Lord County Magistrate, Patriarch Hong, we are here." Butler Xu reminded from outside the car.

Zhao Keran lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

The sight is desolate, the surrounding rock walls are cold, and the soldiers who come and go in the army look serious.The saber hanging around his waist seemed to be unsheathed at any time to harvest the enemy's head.

Although the weather in Jingyang had started to turn cold, the solemn atmosphere in the barracks made the already not-so-warm weather even colder.

Zhao Keran calmed down and followed behind Butler Xu.

Several tents were set up in the open space. Apart from being crude, the only feature was that they were a bit small.

Steward Xu led the two of them through multiple inspections before stopping in front of a military tent made of fur.

The guard in front of the military tent obviously got the order, and when he saw someone coming, he went directly to the tent and reported it.

After a while, he came out of the tent and invited the three of them in.

"Magistrate Zhao is well, but it's been a long time." Xu Jun was dressed in armor and looked heroic.

His bun was fixed with a carved sandalwood flower hairpin, and his face was fair and delicate, which really didn't match the cold and hard armor.

Zhao Keran thought about it, but he had really seen such a person.

At that time, he went to the delivery shop to deliver official documents, and he was received by General Xu.It turned out to be the same person.

"General Xu is well." Zhao Keran saluted with cupped fists.

"You two know each other?" Xu Butler asked.

Zhao Keran said that he met once in the shop.

Steward Xu stroked his beard, said with a smile that it was destined, and then introduced Hong Feng to Xu Jun, "Second Master, this is the Patriarch of the Hong family."

Hong Feng saluted, Xu Jun nodded slightly and said: "Listen to my elder brother, the county magistrate Zhao came to me to discuss business?"

Xu Jun signaled the three of them to sit down. There were no chairs in the tent, only a wooden plank above the ground covered with sackcloth and a low table.

The three of Zhao Keran sat down cross-legged, and Xu Jun asked his subordinates to pour tea for the three of them.

He poured himself a cup, smelled the tea, and took a sip, "It's just that I'm not in charge of purchasing military supplies in the army. I'm afraid the county magistrate Zhao has found the wrong person. It's time to find the military branch envoy." .”

Zhao Keran smiled slightly and said, "It's time to find Zhidu envoy, no, please Patriarch Xu let us meet General Xu, I hope General Xu can introduce us a few times."

Xu Jun glanced at Zhao Keran and said nothing.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this little county magistrate poured into his brother. His brother repeatedly asked him to do things for this little guy.

"Alright." Xu Jun put down his teacup, and summoned his subordinates to ask him to ask Zhidushi to discuss matters.

Not long after the soldier who sent the message left, there were rustling sounds from outside the tent.After the sound stopped, a tall and thick man lifted the curtain to enter the account.

The visitor had a beard on his face, and his eyes were wide open.Zhao Keran had the illusion that this person would perform a weeping willow for him in a second.

Xu Jun saw that it was Guo Shen who came in, he was taken aback for a moment, and then began to drink tea calmly.

"I am the Zhidu envoy in this army, what do you want me for, you brat?" Guo Shen asked with a rough face and a rough voice.

Hong Feng had never seen such a horizontal thing before, and he was a little frightened.

Zhao Keran also dodged back, not because he was afraid, but because his speed made him speak out!

Water splashes everywhere.

Zhao Keran moved a suitable seat, and cut straight to the point, "Master Zhidu, how do you feel about the boots you are wearing now?" He looked at the leather boots on Guo Shen's feet and asked.

Guo Shen obviously didn't expect the other party to ask about his shoes. He subconsciously raised the sole of his foot and said, "Then what else can I feel? The feeling of wearing shoes." Then he felt that it would be embarrassing for him to answer obediently, so he deliberately With a straight face, he said ferociously, "You bastard is talking useless things. Say it quickly! Why did you come to the barracks?"

Guo Shen felt resentful towards these county magistrates in his heart, and he wanted to teach the new county magistrate a lesson.Let the other party dare not cut off the food in their army, but the kid in Xu Jun told him that the new county magistrate was only in his teens, and the anger in his heart was extinguished in an instant.

For a man in his twenties to bully someone so much younger than himself, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

In the end, if he gave the new county magistrate a little color, he would treat it like a fart and let it go.

Who knew that if he didn't go to recruit people, they would take the initiative to send them to his door!

Then don't blame him for being brave and invincible General Guo for finding fault with the opponent!

Zhao Keran sighed, and directly asked Hong Feng to take out the thousand-ply sole cloth shoes and put them on the table, "Your Excellency, let's wear them, this size should be just right for adults."

He didn't want to talk to this Zhidu envoy, it was laborious.

As soon as Guo Shen had figured out how to find fault in his mind and drive this little official out of the barracks, the other party asked someone to pull out a pair of shoes for him to wear.

He was a little happy, hey!This little guy is on the road!Those who didn't give him anything in the past, all robbed him of his things!

But Guo Shen had a look of disdain on his face, he must be at a disadvantage!Walking forward, he muttered dismissively, "Who cares, who doesn't have a shoe yet!"

When he got the cloth shoes, Guo Shen felt something was wrong.Why is the sole of this shoe so thick?What did you do?

He sat directly on the ground and took off his leather boots.

For a moment, Zhao Keran, who was close, felt that he was attacked by non-human poisonous gas.

Because the military tent was not that big, it didn't take long for the smell of Guo Shen's feet to permeate the tent.

Hong Feng and Xu Butler could only pretend to drink tea, but in reality they wanted the fragrance of the tea to cover up the smell of their feet.

Only Zhao Keran pinched his nose very disrespectfully, and urged: "My lord, put it on quickly!"

Guo Shen blushed, if it wasn't for the beard covering his face, he might have been exposed directly.

Xu Jun laughed loudly when he saw it, "General Guo, you should follow Zhao County Magistrate's advice, put it on quickly. Don't kill the enemy by one thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred."

"Xu Jun, I'll let you tear down the stage!" Guo Shen angrily smashed the replaced boots at Xu Jun. Xu Jun had already figured out the opponent's temper, and easily avoided the stinky shoes thrown by Guo Shen attack.

Guo Jian didn't hit it, so he wanted to go forward to get the shoes, but after walking two steps, he found that the feeling under his feet was not right.

The soles are thick and don't rub your feet at all.Because the top is cloth, it is very soft.Not to mention breathable and light on the feet, it is also very comfortable.

Hey!Guo Shen didn't believe in evil, so he took two more steps, and finally trotted around in a circle.

"Hey! These shoes are good! Wearing them is the same as not wearing them. The bottom is soft and comfortable, and my feet are not so stuffy!"

Seeing that Guo Can was very fond of cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles, Hong Feng brought out two more styles.

They are all boots, one kind is single-sided, and the other kind is stuffed with catkins.

The soles are all laminated soles, the quality of the shoes is very good, the stitches are fine, and they are very durable.

Guo Shen tried it all, and finally wore the boots stuffed with catkins, and he didn't want to take them off.

"You want to provide military boots?" Xu Jun asked.

Zhao Keran nodded, "Your Majesty is satisfied with the clothes you wear, so our shoes should be up to par, right?"

Xu Jun shook his head with a smile, pointed at Guo Shen and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is satisfied or not."

Before Zhao Keran could ask, Xu Jun turned to Guo Shen, "Where did you get Liu Zhidu?"

Guo Shen touched his nose, his eyes wandered, "It's tied outside the tent."

Zhao Keran: After a long time, this guy is not a supporter...

"The final general will see General Xu and General Guo." Liu Zhidu immediately went into the tent to meet him after he was untied.

Guo Shen was wearing new shoes, and his mind was all on the shoes, so he had no time to talk to him.Xu Jun asked him to take a look at the other two pairs of shoes.

After Liu Zhidu inspected it carefully, he felt that the shoes were many times better than previous years.And the skillful stitching method is brilliant, it will not be as bulky as leather, and it will not be damaged as easily as ordinary soles.

I just don't know why, but I always feel a faint smell.

Liu Zhidu put down his shoes, "General, excellent."

Melaleuca-soled cloth shoes have been successfully promoted to military supplies by virtue of their excellent craftsmanship and excellent sense of experience.

When Zhao Keran left, he looked carefully at the tents in the army.

"If it rains in this military tent, won't it leak?" Zhao Keran asked Xu Jun.

Xu Jun replied: "When it rains, we will cover it with straw mats."

"It's just that the rainy season is easy, but winter is difficult. In winter, the military tents are cold, and many soldiers will not be able to survive the winter." Xu Jun sighed: "If our army can find out the military tent system of Beidan and Xijue, it will be difficult in winter." It's better. I won't be successfully attacked by them because of the cold..."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jun was stunned, thinking about what to do with the other party.Just as he was about to tell Zhao Keran not to take it to heart, Zhao Keran said curiously, "Don't you use felt in winter?"

When Xu Jun heard this, his expression instantly became serious. He had heard of the word "felt" from the spies in the army.

It was used by Beidan and Xijue to make camp tents, and those two tribes kept the specific method of making it a secret.It was just that after Dayuan knew the method, the soldiers at the border would be able to survive the winter smoothly, so they would not be able to take advantage of the cold winter to attack.

"Magistrate Zhao knows about 'felt'?" Xu Jun asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Keran said: "I know, isn't it made of wool?"

The other party said it very lightly, as if he was really familiar with the felt making method.Xu Jun couldn't recover for a long time, they sent so many people to inquire, but they didn't get the blanket of making the law, and now someone told him that he knew.

"I would also like to ask County Magistrate Zhao to inform you of the specific method. Xu Jun is very grateful." Xu Jun found his own voice, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, and looking forward to Zhao Keran's answer.

Zhao Keran looked around and remembered the new task of the system, so he said: "Well, I'll go back and sort out a tent construction method first. According to that construction, the space will be large and the load-bearing capacity will be considerable." He continued: " At that time, my master carpenters will come to teach the army to build, and the techniques of making 'felt' will also be given to you."

Xu Jun's heart was shaken, did he hear correctly?

Can the space in the military account be even bigger?The military account of the general in the army is already very large, and can accommodate 20 people at the same time.

If it gets bigger, it will collapse.

"Why does County Magistrate Zhao know so much?" Xu Jun was a little surprised, especially the felt making method, Beidan was guarding it like a treasure, and they haven't found out anything for so many years.

Zhao Keran coughed lightly and said, "My master traveled all over the world for most of his life. He knew the felt making method and the 'big tent' from a tribe in the west. Master told me all these, and I also hope that I can Let it out."

Xu Jun understood, so it was.Even at such a young age, County Magistrate Zhao would never have left Dayuan.

After seeing off Zhao Keran and the others, Guo Shen stood beside Xu Jun.

This rude and savage bearded man became more careful and learned to sum up, "I kind of understand why your elder brother asked you to listen to this brat."

Xu Jun cast a sideways glance at Guo Shen, "What don't you understand? You understand that you are still picking on someone?"

After speaking, he left quickly.

"I didn't understand before that! Who knew that this little one is different from the previous ones!" Guo Can walked forward quickly, and then remembered that he was wearing new shoes, and suddenly seemed like he would not even be able to walk. .

I walked dozens of times on weekdays, but I didn't feel anything.But today I always feel that everything is a trap, trying to dirty his beloved shoes.

...

On the way back, Hong Feng hesitated to speak.

Zhao Keran asked with a smile: "Patriarch Hong is interested in 'Felt'?"

Seeing that Zhao Keran had seen through his thoughts, Hong Feng no longer concealed it, "The county magistrate is smart, to tell the truth, Hong really intends to make the felt."

Zhao Keran said: "The army will definitely not do it by itself. When the time comes, talk to General Xu and let the Hong family do it. He probably won't refuse."

"Oh! Your magistrate is really the lucky star of our Hong family, the God of Wealth of the Hong family!" Hong Feng smiled so blindly, "If you have any orders, magistrate, as long as I, Hong, can do it!" Yes, I will definitely do it!"

Zhao Keran was not polite, and immediately made a request, "I really have something to do."

"What's the matter?"

"I have some cotton, you let your weaving factory spin it into cloth." Zhao Keran adjusted his position to make himself more comfortable, "I will have someone draw the tools you need, county government carpenter Wang Xiaowu from the class will help you make tools."

"One batch is made into cotton cloth, another batch is made into cotton clothes, and another batch is made into quilts."

Hong Feng didn't know what "cotton" was at this time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

A few days later, after seeing Cotton, he just stood guard at the gate of the county government office, not interested in doing any business, and asked Zhao Keran to let him grow Cotton no matter what.

Zhao Keran happened to have limited energy, and large-scale cotton planting required a lot of manpower and material resources.Patriarch Hong just happened to do him a big favor.

In order to show his sincerity, Hong Feng only wanted [-]% of all the benefits of Cotton.

Zhao Keran thought about the speed at which he was spending money, and did not refuse.The benefits of [-]% cotton are already a lot.

Hong Feng was not at a loss either.

...

After Zhao Keran returned to the county government, Shumo just came back from Huimin Supermarket.He held a large box in his hand, which contained vegetables.

"Master, this is a new dish sent by Mr. Hong. It is said to be red cabbage head just harvested. I want you to see, Master, if it can be sold in the supermarket."

When Zhao Keran heard this, he always felt that the name sounded familiar.He stepped forward to check, but he was startled when he didn't know.

This is very similar to a small carrot, with reddish leaves, bright and beautiful beetroot, isn't it just a beet!

There are several types of beets, and if they are white, they are used for feed.Although it is not conducive to sugar production, its nutritional value is also excellent as a feed.

But this red beet is the main source of sugar besides sugar cane!

[Tested objects: beets, main varieties, beetroots.Angiosperms.Test result: non-toxic.Efficacy: main sugar, rich in calcium and nutrients. ] After listening to the system confirmation, Zhao Keran seemed to see a bunch of sucrose products greeting him.

"Call Hong Laosan quickly! I have something to tell him!"

Seeing Zhao Keran's eager look, Shu Mo immediately put down the frame in his hand, and ran to find Hong Laosan.

Because the vegetables have been certified by Li Rende, as long as there are new vegetables on the market in Huimin Supermarket, they will be sold out in a short time.

Hong Laosan was also very busy these days, and finally harvested a new batch of vegetables, so he sent some for the county magistrate to have a look at.

I thought it was the same as usual, so I went straight to it after seeing it, but who knew that the county magistrate would send someone to look for him this time.

He was a little flustered, wondering if there was something wrong with this dish.

No, I have eaten it in previous years, and it tastes pretty good.It just grows slowly, and you can only eat it once every two years, but this dish is delicious, and everyone in the village loves it.Every time it grows out, it can be eaten up in the village without waiting to be sold in the town.

Hong Laosan, who had eaten maltose, felt that this dish also had a sweet taste, and it was the most delicious beetroot!

"Grassmen, please refer to the county magistrate." Hong Laosan was still a little scared, he was afraid that something would happen, what would happen if the county magistrate would not let him be a vegetable base.

Zhao Keran was writing down the method of making sugar. When he saw someone coming, he quickly put down the pen in his hand, "Mr. Hong, how many beetroots do you have?"

Youngest Hong was stunned for a moment, and found that the county magistrate didn't intend to blame him, so he thought for a while, and made a rough estimate, "This beetroot is delicious, and every family grows some. Seven seven eight eight Add up to two or three acres."

Zhao Keran clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay." He looked at Hong Laosan, and told him, "This red cabbage head will be paid as much as the official in your village!"

Zhao Keran did the math, and the beet yield per mu is generally around 400 jin, and one ton of beet can squeeze more than [-] jin of sugar.

In Hong Laosan's village, the seeds are scattered and the total output may be lower in the end, but it doesn't matter, it's better than nothing!

Zhao Keran said to Hong Laosan: "We want to plant this beetroot on a large scale. Twenty acres of land should be allocated to it in the vegetable planting base. If there are people in the village who grow it, the yamen will also harvest it. It depends on them how much they grow. personal preference.

This is a biennial crop. It needs to accumulate nutrients in the first year, and I will trouble you to take care of it in the future. "

Hong Lao San was so moved, "Hey, the county magistrate can do whatever he says. There is no need to bother! I, Hong Lao San, will definitely plant beetroots for you!"

Zhao Keran patted Hong Laosan on the shoulder, thinking to himself, you still have more to plant.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, eggplants, beans…

Doesn't he care more about his employees?

...

After seeing off Hong Laosan, Zhao Keran went to the chicken coop.

Since the wheat harvest started, Zhao Keran let the eggs hatch.

He also caught two more hens from the spiritual space to add new members to his chicken farm.

If it weren't for the fear of people's suspicion, Zhao Keran would have liked to fill his chicken farm with two or two at a time.

Nowadays, chicken food is made from crushed wheat husks, mixed with corn bran, and stirred with well water added with spiritual spring water.

Chickens have a strong gastrointestinal digestion function, and it is also possible to use crushed wheat husks for feeding.

And because of the egg hatching, Zhao Keran went to the chicken coop every day to secretly add pure spiritual spring water in the sink, and never cut them off.

They ate, drank, ate, and were happy.

Oh, sometimes I want to drink, but I will be chased and pecked by my balls.

It's nothing but fertilizing eggs and crowing.

The chicken coop is usually looked after by Sun Ying. Every day after he wakes up after watching Xiao Douding, he goes to the chicken coop to look at the eggs.

Seeing Zhao Keran coming, Sun Ying put down the small shovel in his hand.Now that there are few chickens, it is not inconvenient for him to take care of them with a small shovel in one hand, "My lord, why are you here?"

Zhao Keran waved his hand, telling Sun Ying to leave him alone, "I'll just take a look, you're busy with your work."

Sun Ying nodded and continued with the work at hand.

Counting the time, the first batch of chicks will be hatched.Zhao Keran looked at the modified chicken coop, squatting on the ground and meditating.

He was planning to incubate artificially, but the conditions were not enough before, and he didn't have time to get an incubator or something.

After the first batch of chicks hatch and grow up healthy, the next batch can be artificially hatched in large numbers.

Thinking about how cold it is going to be this day, at the beginning of the year, considering the time constraints, we didn't make a brick bed for the earthen house, so we had to hurry up before the weather cooled down.

"Are you squatting on the ground to grow mushrooms?" Huo Yuan saw a person squatting beside the chicken coop from a long distance, and when he approached, he found that it was Zhao Keran.

Zhao Keran clicked his tongue, thinking that you are the only one who grows mushrooms!

But he still got up, and when he got up, because he squatted for too long, he suddenly went numb, and his eyes felt dizzy.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Huo Yuan quickly stepped forward and pulled with his hand, Zhao Keran stabilized his figure.

Just when Zhao Keran wanted to thank him, he raised his head and accidentally saw a red mark on the side of Huo Yuan's neck.Because of the close distance, I can vaguely see a circle of tooth marks that are about to disappear.

Zhao Keran cast a glance at Huo Yuan, seeing that the other party was still serious.

He couldn't help sighing, this brother Yuan can't usually tell, does he like such fierce ones in private?

I don't know which young lady did it, but the teeth are quite good.Tut tut, that's interesting!

The author has something to say: Xu Wenwu: The mouth is so good, it must be the tooth fragrance "Hanbei" from our Zhenpin Pavilion.
