Unlimited Food Plan

Just before Zhao Baoer almost lost control of his bladder in fright, Du Changqiu finally rushed to the door and shouted to the outside: "Fanxing, don't scare him. Baoer,? This is my pet."

The first sentence is called Fanxing, but the latter is said to Zhao Baoer.

Zhao Baoer was stunned for a moment, at first he couldn't believe it, but seeing that the cow stopped after being shouted, it quickly slammed its hooves in front of it, raised its head and rubbed against his young master, and suddenly the fear in his heart was driven away. Go, turned into admiration.

But he doesn't remember when the young master raised a calf as a pet?

Zhao Bao'er was puzzled,? Du Changqiu didn't say much, but asked Zhao Bao'er to take the money to buy more meat to make some delicious food, and planned to make up for Fan Xing.

As a result, Fan Xing just showed Du Changqiu the pizza sandwich he brought out, and the two had a breakfast that Wilt was accustomed to. The sun was already in the sky, and Zhao Baoer came back.

"Everyone has nothing. I heard that I am a new county magistrate, so I sold my two hens." Zhao Baoer held two hens in his hand, and looked thin and small, weighing a little over two catties at most. , After tidying up, it was not enough for Fanxing to eat two bites.

Fortunately, the two had already had breakfast, so Du Changqiu was not in a hurry to eat at this time, so he simply let Zhao Bao'er have some breakfast by himself, and went out with him later to see Huarong County.

Zhao Bao'er drank the porridge and hurriedly filled himself with water, and then followed him out. Du Changqiu realized an important thing after only walking around for a while.

It's a bit bad, this Huarong County is too poor.

It's not the kind of Werther's kind of poverty where everyone is poor, but the poverty that seems to be a little bit hard to pass in winter.

"Master County Magistrate." Du Changqiu walked all the way, just walked around the city for half a circle, and soon the pawn Huang He rushed over, and saluted in a low voice when they met.

"Why is it like this in this city?" Daye's pawn is the county magistrate's deputy, and he is also a scholar with a serious background, which is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate. The management of pawns.So Du Changqiu saw him coming, and hurriedly asked Huang Dianli.

Du Changqiu has probably figured out the general climate and landforms of Huarong County. Huarong County is on the southwest side of Daye. Because of the adjacent plateau, the people next door can't fight, and the small tribes at the foot of the mountain are not climate friendly and will not become a big threat. .And the climate is in the subtropical climate, logically speaking, the conditions for planting things in this place should be very unique.

But why did Du Changqiu look around and see that the residents in this city are all sallow and thin, and the houses are simple and simple, so it is rare to see even a merchant in this city?

You must know that although this side is adjacent to the plateau, the landform is more complicated, and it is not as good as the Yishan County next door, which occupies a large plain, but Guangyuan County is also a large county. A county with a large population, such a county has a large population and a large demand. In Guangyuan County, if you go out along Huarong County, you can go directly to the western plateau grassland to do business with the tribes on the grassland.

This area can be advanced, attacked, retreated, and defended. It is a uniquely good place. Why is it so desolate? Walking this way, it doesn’t matter if it’s not prosperous. It was so bleak that even Du Changqiu felt unbelievable.

"Thank you, sir, this, this..." Huang He clerk hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Du Changqiu's face, as if he was still not used to seeing Shangguan so young and with such appearance, but after all he was a straight man in his 40s. Male, no matter how good-looking the same sex is, although I still feel a little awkward, I can answer normally after all.

He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Master Xie, it's too early, why don't you follow me to the village outside the city and you'll know."

"Okay!" Du Changqiu didn't refuse either, he rolled over and climbed onto Fanxing's back, Fanxing refused to let Zhao Baoer ride, so Du Changqiu asked Zhao Baoer to follow Huang He on the horse, and one horse and one cow went out of the city directly.

At first, Huang He didn't dare to set off at full speed, until he found that the cow he got from somewhere was extremely fast. He galloped on the horse, and found that the cow was leisurely following him, and he couldn't help but secretly marveled.

Soon, the two arrived at the village outside the city. From a distance, Du Changqiu saw sparse hills that seemed to be hair loss in middle age.

At the beginning, the landform of Huarong County is more complicated. Going out of the county government here, a large area of ​​the village is hilly, with many trees in the mountains, but it is rich, but the roads are very worrying. In name, that area is the territory of Daye, but it is managed well. It is particularly chaotic, and villagers are often bullied by nearby tribes.

Every time soldiers were sent across mountains and rivers, the tribesmen would retreat directly into the mountains. After the soldiers left, they would continue to bully the villagers, even robbing the women in the village.

Not only that, the villagers living in the village worked hard to cultivate, but the mountainous land was difficult. It was fine before, but later they continued to cultivate wheat, chestnut, and rice. The output in Li went from two to three stones to less than one stone.

In Daye, one stone is about 120 catties, that is to say, the yield per mu of fertile land is two to three hundred catties.

Compared with the fifty or sixty catties in the Middle Ages, this is almost a god-like output, but compared with the data of later generations, this output will starve to death every minute.

In particular, there are also a lot of exorbitant taxes from Daye. Each of these villagers planted a few acres of land, and paid taxes and rents. In a famine year, if the tax is not reduced, I am afraid that they will have to sell their sons and daughters to pay the tax, which is very pitiful.

Therefore, as long as it is the feudal era, the common people will not encounter any good things, and they will basically live a miserable life.

Thinking of this, Du Changqiu shook his head in his heart. Walking down this circle, seeing the fields in these hilly areas gave him a headache.

He remembered that in the information, he saw that his ancestors were very good at farming and farming. Looking at it now, it is indeed the case. The people in Huarong County are indeed more meticulous in farming than in the Middle Ages, and even in many places There are already terraces.

And the ordinary people are really hardworking, it was still snowing yesterday, today Du Changqiu and Huang He rode their horses all the way to the edge of the field, and they can still see old farmers carrying farm tools, walking down from the mountain and fields, the fields There are also farmers busy covering the fields with straw.

"What are they planting?" When Du Changqiu saw these actions, he knew that they were planting winter crops. Huarong County has less cold time in winter, with one or two heavy snowfalls at most, and the temperature will not be like what Du Changqiu encountered before. It is so scary that it can revive winter crops. At this time, there are still many vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and radishes in the field.

"Wheat from Yuedong." Huang He looked at the farmers in the field in the distance, and said softly, "Thank you sir, this place has been cultivated hard in the past years, and there are still two or three stones of wheat to be harvested in the coming year, but from the year before last, for some reason, The food collected is getting less and less, and it has even appeared to be a failure in the past two years."

Du Changqiu listened to Huang He's continuation, and the two walked and watched, while Huang He explained, Du Changqiu gradually understood why Huarong County, which is a little poorer, is still self-sufficient, and now it has become like this.

Almost when the two of them reached the edge of the field, Du Changqiu roughly understood the reason for the reduction in production after a short look.

Having experienced farming in two worlds, Du Changqiu has no other experience, but when he saw the soil in the field, Du Changqiu immediately felt that something was wrong with the soil.

He walked over a few steps, and under Huang He's astonished eyes, grabbed the soil in the field, and silently turned on the detector to analyze the composition of the soil.

Sure enough, after scanning, Du Changqiu immediately found that the soil was very problematic, and there was already a very slight salinization.

Huarong County is a good place to raise people with water and soil. According to the natural features, it is impossible to have salinized land. This is definitely not good for the care of the land in the later stage. When Du Changqiu took a look, he found that the ditches beside the fields were very shallow. Some don't even have ditches next to them.

It is not a big problem if there is no paddy field next to it. Basically, when there is a flood, it can be drained away layer by layer. However, according to Huang He, the villagers here are used to planting rice and wheat in rotation. Monitor the condition of the whole water and soil.

It doesn’t mean that you can plant rice in summer, but you can grow wheat after watering in winter. You need to have strict and precise control in terms of drainage, fertilization, water and soil protection, and most importantly, you can’t plant the entire mountain on a large scale. All cultivation is carried out, so there is no shelter, long-term soil erosion, flood irrigation during the rainy season, long-term rise in groundwater levels, and salinization of the land are simply inevitable results.

It is only normal to reduce the income now. If the transformation is completely completed, basically no grass will grow, and the most terrifying thing is that its area will spread, just like an infectious disease on the earth.

And when the salinization is really completed and a certain scale is formed, it basically means that the land is finished.With the existing productivity, it is absolutely impossible to complete the transformation of large-scale saline-alkali land. After all, the control of saline-alkali land was completely solved in the era of Du Changqiu and the others, and it was also caused by the performance variation of some plants themselves.

From this we can see how terrible the lethality of this saline-alkali land is.

Therefore, when Du Changqiu saw the soil analysis, he immediately knew it.But he didn't make a sound, and roughly checked the layout of these bare mountains and the general water and soil conditions with the detector, and confirmed that the continuous heavy rain is not particularly rare at present, and there will be no particularly urgent crisis here for the time being.

Du Changqiu temporarily suppressed his thoughts about the land, just stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, and followed the yellow crane all the way down.When they got to the river, Du Changqiu asked casually while washing his hands, "How many villages are connected to this place?"

"My lord, there are a total of thirteen villages, with a population of seventy to eighty to five to six hundred." Huang He looked at him like an exiled immortal, clutching the mud and frowning as he appeared beside the farmland, no matter how he looked at it, he found it strange.

But when Shangguan asked, Huang He didn't dare to hide it, and answered obediently.

They are all small villages. Du Changqiu from Huarong County saw it in the morning and heard from Huang He that the small hilly area with a total of five to six thousand people here is only a part of Huarong County. To the northeast of Huarong County, there are A plain with a large area, under a warm climate, the harvest can reach ten thousand shi every season, and the grain is abundant. Although it is not enough to feed everyone, it is not enough to make the residents of Huarong County starve to death.

"Where is the tax collected over there? How much is it collected, but it's still in the warehouse of the county government?" Du Changqiu did some calculations, and he had an idea in his mind, so he immediately asked.

"My lord." Huang He began to slightly despise this young master because of the appearance of Mr. Xie, because Xie Yong'an looked like a beautiful figure raised in the mound of rice fat, and it was rare in Jian'an. Here, Huang He thought at first that Mr. Xie put down to practice for two years, and wanted to get a good result before going back to be promoted.

In the end, I didn't expect to just get along with him for a while. This adult dragged his frail body out of the city with him early in the morning. He asked few questions, but he was very knowledgeable and couldn't be deceived. Huang He couldn't help being startled. , with emotion in my heart.He is also a person who is aware of current affairs, so he put away his little thoughts immediately, never dared to be contemptuous, and replied seriously: "Return to my lord, these villages really don't occupy the majority, and the land tax is indeed collected, it's just..."

When Du Changqiu saw Huang He's expression, he knew in his heart that there was something tricky about it.

He smiled and said, "Master Huang, just tell me the truth if you have anything to do. It will save me having to write a book and ask my father what's going on here."

Master Xie, who was far away in Jian'an, drove Xie Yongan out of the house. The problem is that others don't know about it. Du Changqiu is pulling a tiger's skin to make a banner for himself at the moment, and he doesn't even bat an eyelid.

Xie Yong'an's temperament is like the wind and the moon, and no one else would have imagined that there is a soul with a completely different temperament inside. At this moment when he said this, Huang He's heart trembled, and he thought that if he didn't say it now, after the incident, he might have to Something big happened.

He no longer had any chances to fool around, dared not hide it, and said repeatedly: "My lord, the taxes have also been collected. In addition to the tax money handed over to the court, the county treasury is also more than half full. It's just that before the death of Mr. Wang, he sold it to the court. A batch, now inside, inside..."

"Is there nothing in it, or is there silt left, or is there some old grain added to the silt, or is it just moldy rice?" Du Changqiu heard what he said, and the "Ancient Local Grain and Grass Research" that the professor taught in his mind How to fool the court's thinking with a lot of local food storage.

Hearing that the young Mr. Xie uttered so many ways in one go, Huang He made a "plop", really kneeling.

The last trace of luck in his heart was completely gone, his bones were chilling, and he said shiveringly: "Please thank you for helping me, I, I didn't do it voluntarily! I only found out later that Mr. Wang sold grain and grass. I paid me 200 taels of silver, I, I dare not refuse..."

"Tell me first, how much food is there in this warehouse?" Du Changqiu took a deep breath. Xie Yong'an knew little about this kind of thing, but he was carefully trained.

If we talk about the first two worlds, Du Changqiu may not be particularly aware of them. This era is his original destination. From top to bottom, there are three teachings and nine streams, and Du Changqiu can be regarded as imitating them all.He understands these tricks very well in his heart. Now Daye is a mess, the governance is not effective, and there are corrupt officials everywhere. It is very normal to make it like this.

Like Huang He and his ilk, they are not qualified to choose whether they want to join or not.

After all, it is very normal to either join or die suddenly in such a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

That Mr. Wang dared to do this, it may not be his own will, it may be the command of the chief.

But it's better not to be like this, Du Changqiu still wants to have a good relationship with the sheriff of Guangyuan County, although troubled times will come, but it's the most correct way to let the sheriff stay on top for a while.

This is also the reason why Du Changqiu saw that Huang He was fooling himself early in the morning, but he never showed it.He just arrived here for the first time, when he asked about the situation in the city, Huang He looked very respectful and polite, but he took him directly to this remote place when he went out, obviously intending to fool him.

If it was true that Xie Yongan was here, he might have been fooled. He thought that production was reduced in this way everywhere, and he was directly led astray and fell into a blind spot.

When he asked how much tax he had collected, the officer of the Yellow Crane couldn't hide it, and then he looked embarrassed, and Du Changqiu knew something was wrong in his mind.

But he can't be angry. On the one hand, he is new here, and he doesn't know whether Huang Dianli is really forced or greedy. On the other hand, he is not on his feet. Just use it.

He can't move Huang Dianli now, so he has nothing to choose.

Therefore, Du Changqiu was not angry, and only asked in a gentle voice. Huang He's forehead was sweating, and he didn't dare to hide it. Know.

But firstly, this is Mr. Xie's son, who was a classmate with the crown prince, if something happens, their skins will be peeled off, and secondly, Huang He is really not a wealthy and greedy person. He looked at Du Changqiu's expression Gentle, obviously didn't want to punish them, so he relaxed, and quickly poured out everything he knew.

"My lord, the grain left by the local granary was sold for 200 shi, and there are still [-] shi of real grain and grass left, and the rest is old grain that cannot be eaten with sand and stones." Huang He lowered his head and replied repeatedly, "The money you got Mr. Wang gave me [-] taels, and the six servants each had [-] taels..."

"What is the price of grain and grass in the city now?" Du Changqiu asked softly.

"Four hundred coins and one stone." Sweat slowly dripped from Huang He's forehead.

"Four hundred wens, eight thousand shi of grain, less than 4 people in the entire Huarong County, working hard to eat miscellaneous grains in the prime of life, and men in the army only need 24 shi of miscellaneous grains a year to eat enough. If it is whole food rice grains, it can be half less; the elderly Children can eat three meals a day if their annual food is less than six shi." Du Changqiu sighed softly, "If you save some food for ten thousand shi, the old and young in Huarong County will not be full for three meals, but it will be enough to live comfortably."

What Du Changqiu said was conservative, if adding the food stored in the farmers' homes, this ten thousand shi of grain would definitely be enough to eat.

Huang He was ashamed by his words, and murmured in a low voice: "What you said is true, but I am a little pawn, and I can only rely on the county magistrate for everything, so what is the use of me..."

When a person reaches middle age, he has been rooted in Huarong County for more than ten years, and he can't get promoted at all. There is no one above him, and it doesn't matter.

It's just that I've been with those messes for a long time in the past, and I still don't feel it, but now that Master Xie said this, thinking of Huang He's dream when he was young that he swore to help the world after studying, for a while, he couldn't even say anything ashamed.

"Officer Huang doesn't have to be like this, but I'm not talking about you." Du Changqiu felt emotional for a while, seeing that Huang He couldn't lift his head, obviously his conscience was still in his heart, so he immediately said softly, "I know that it's not easy for you. , this life is in the world, sometimes it is unavoidable to go up and down with the world, the world always says that the gentleman is harmonious but different, but the tree is more beautiful than the forest, it is really uncomfortable."

With these words, Huang He said it as if he had found a bosom friend, tears came out of his eyes.Nodding repeatedly, Du Changqiu chatted with him calmly, went back and checked the food and grass, and the day passed quickly.

The entire Huarong County is lifeless, and some women and children look like they won't be able to survive the winter.

Du Changqiu wandered around the city and the surrounding countryside intermittently, inspected it, and probably got some points in his mind.

In the great winter, when the cold was shrank, Du Changqiu called all the subordinates in the sixth house of the yamen during the day, saying that it was a banquet.

The feast is rabbit meat, from the little warehouse of the stars.

In order to go home and control the variables of going back, Du Changqiu finally brought nothing except basic supplies.

On the contrary, it was Fanxing, except for food, he piled up a bunch of things in a mess.They were all the things that Du Changqiu hurriedly threw out before leaving, and he was very reluctant to talk about them.

There are many kinds of meat, some potatoes that Du Changqiu threw out, the most were the sweet potatoes, corn, rubber tree seeds, etc. , basically everything is good or bad.

When Du Changqiu saw the mountain-like pile of things, he was only shocked for a few seconds, then he jumped up and kissed Fanxing frantically, which made Fanxing Maomao messed up!

Fan Xing is very satisfied with this, although he thinks why this person is so unreserved, but thinking that it must be because of his brilliance and martial arts, he can bring a lot of delicious food, so he lost his composure, Fan Xing thinks he can understand.

Huang He and the subordinate staff of Liufang obviously didn't know about these things.

Daye's yamen is similar to that of a small imperial court, except that the officials of Huang He are the deputy county magistrates, and they have to manage everything.

However, different from the Six Departments of the Imperial Court, the Six Departments of the People are serious officials, and they all get money.

But the people in Liufang in the county are not considered official state officials. They have no income at all and only live on pennies.

Of course, with such an arrangement above, the bottom naturally has its own management methods.

Naturally, each house will not wait for itself to starve to death, and among them, the official house that is in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials in the county, the registration of scholars and other students who go to other places to take exams, and the collection of taxes and the management of exchanging the collected grain and grass for money. These two houses are the most powerful and richest in the household houses that are cast into ingots.

Therefore, Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu of these two rooms are basically the richest; and the ceremony room is in charge of the sacrifices and celebrations of the entire county, and they are basically responsible for the collection of papers for the invigilation and the deer banquet for scholars; In the case of the county, although these two houses are not as good as the official house and the household house, they are still living very well.

Among the first four people, Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu are all close friends of Lord Wang who took office, and even half of Huang Dianli was emptied, so that Huang Dianli has been sitting on the bench, and it can be said that he has made a lot of money. .

Therefore, Zhao Lishu and Chen Hushu came by horse-drawn carriage; Liu Lishu and Sun Xingshu came by ox cart.

There are two books of war and work, one is responsible for training soldiers and horses, and the other is responsible for researching and repairing mulberry silk, but there is no income, but spending money everywhere.

Therefore, Guan Bingshu and Qian Gongshu were very poor, wearing sackcloth with patches, and came directly from home.

The heads of the six households entered the house, and three braziers were burned in the house. The heat was smoky, and everyone took off their clothes.

When Du Changqiu saw it, he was convinced that all the people who came today were people who could make decisions. For example, the masters around the pawns and the savings point of the sixth house did not come. the difference.

For example, the officials' room and the household room wear fur cloaks with silk as the backing; the ceremony room and torture room wear sackcloth inside, but the outside is also half-new and not old thick fur.

There are only two soldiers in the military room and a workshop, wearing a linen suit with patches and patches. Guan Bingfang looks thick and tall, with powerful holes, and the sackcloth seems to be able to withstand it.

On the other hand, Qian Gongfang looked thin and thin, his lips turned purple from the cold.

Obviously it didn't get any benefit.

Moreover, when Guan Bingshu entered the door, he only stared straight at the rabbit meat on the table. Qian Gongshu was shivering from the cold, and looked at the rabbit meat very restrainedly, but he still swallowed slightly. It was obviously a physiological reaction and he couldn't restrain himself. .

There is no oil and water in the stomach, not even a piece of miscellaneous fur, and he is only a little better than the common people. I am afraid that the reward of ten taels of silver, these two idiots have not seen a single hair.

"Everyone, come and sit down. Let's eat pot today." Du Changqiu glanced over and understood each other's details in his heart.

Zhao Lishu, who had a big belly full of fat, and Chen Hushu, who was only half his body, looked at Du Changqiu and then at each other. In this look, Du Changqiu could see their barrage clearly.

It was what he had commented on Pastor Paul in Wilt before - "This is a cucumber egg."

The corners of Du Changqiu's mouth curled up slightly.
