"A Nuo, here are four more baskets, come in and move them!"

"coming!"

Ah Nuo yelled, put two baskets of fresh young pumpkins on the small tricycle, picked up the cloth towel tied around his waist and wiped the sweat off his face, then turned around and opened the curtain and walked into the glass greenhouse.

This greenhouse built in the official manor was completed at the end of last autumn.

When it was completed, its beautiful appearance attracted the attention of all the farmers and stewards working in the farm, and even the envoy came to inspect the site in person.

It has a sloping herringbone roof structure, the roof and four walls are covered with glass panels, and the internal supports are made of hard wood and precious steel, so there is no doubt that this is an extremely expensive greenhouse.

The plants planted in the expensive greenhouse are also extremely rare and precious, and they are basically fruits and vegetables that Amuma has never seen before.

Whenever he walks into this greenhouse and sees vines full of fruit hanging high all around, or emerald green vegetables growing in layers, Ah Nuo feels extremely novel. He never knew that vegetables have Such a method.

Not to mention that it's only spring now, when it's supposed to be the season for planting, but most of the plants in the greenhouse are blooming and bearing fruit, which is simply beyond his understanding.

Quickly walking through the green onion field and pumpkin pergola, Ah Nua came to the strawberry field.

Yan Ruyu, who called him in, squatted on the ground picking strawberries, pointed to the small basket next to her, and said, "That's all, you can move out."

"Okay!" Anuma replied bluntly.

He stacked four baskets together, and was about to move them when Yan Ruyu suddenly raised her body and asked, "Azhao, have you eaten strawberries?"

Anuma froze for a moment, then shook his head honestly.

In fact, this is the first time he has seen this little red fruit. In the past, when he came to the greenhouse occasionally, all he saw were ungrown strawberries, which were very inconspicuous. He always thought it was a kind of edible leafy vegetable .

"Here, I'll give you one. You can taste it and see if it's sweet." The girl with the ball head tied said, and handed him a bright red strawberry.

Ah Nua blushed all of a sudden, scratched his neck, took the fruit embarrassingly, thanked him, and took a small bite of the strawberry tip cherishingly.

The sweet juice of the fruit bursts between the teeth, and the flesh is delicate and cool, which is very thirst-quenching.

"How is it, is it delicious?"

"Delicious, very sweet!" Ah Nua laughed honestly, put the remaining half of the strawberry into his mouth, and said "delicious" again.

Seeing how cute the big tall man was eating strawberries carefully, Yan Ruyu picked another big one and handed it to him, saying: "Then I'll give you another one, try it out."

Ah Nuo hesitated for a moment, he knew that the vegetables and fruits in this greenhouse were very expensive and sought-after items, and they were sold at the farmers’ market in Dongshi, but every time they were sold out by the rich people’s stewards as soon as they went on the market, The fruit he ate might be worth his day's wages.

"It's okay, you can take it. After doing so much work, you must be thirsty." Yan Ruyu persuaded, "You don't have to think it's too expensive to take it. Are we farming for money? Of course not, we are doing it. It is the joy of sharing the fruits when the grain is harvested!"

Hearing what she said, Ah Nuo took the strawberry and said shyly, "Thank you, President."

Then, while eating the big strawberries, he thanked Yan Ruyu several times in his heart.

I think that when he first joined the farmers' chamber of commerce, he was just a porter at the bottom with the least pay and the most tiring work, but he never complained. Instead, he thanked the farmers' chamber of commerce for having such a job for him.

Ah Nuo knows that he has a bad brain and no skills, and he doesn't even know how to farm. He only has brute force to use, so he finally found a job that suits him. He doesn't ask much, he just wants to support himself. become.

Later, he didn't know where he got the appreciation of the president. The other party first promoted him to be the small captain of the transportation team, raised his salary, and promoted him to the deputy minister of the transportation department last month.

Although the vice minister was still doing the work of transporting things, he had a lot of people to take care of him, and occasionally he could go in and out of the beautiful glass shed with the president.

This is not a place where everyone can come in and visit. The government sent a lot of soldiers to patrol around the manor in case someone came in to steal things. Whenever he told his men what he saw in the glass greenhouse, he felt very proud.

After eating the second strawberry, Ah Nua regained his enthusiasm for work, and moved out the four baskets of strawberries in one go, put them on the small tricycle, and fixed them with ropes.

This small three-wheeled pedal is a rickshaw launched by the government's Mufang at the end of last year, along with two-wheeled bicycles and two-wheeled rickshaws.

Rickshaws are relatively cheap, while bicycles and three-wheeled rickshaws are much more expensive. It is said that the latter two are equipped with complex chains, which are made of steel, so the cost is relatively high.

Ah Nuo couldn't figure it out, but this tricycle was really convenient and quick to carry things.

He was able to use this car, thanks to the generosity of the president, who bought twenty tricycles for the chamber of commerce at one time to transport goods, otherwise he would definitely not be able to afford it with his own ability.

After standing outside the shed and waiting for about fifteen minutes, Yan Ruyu and another female player named Hua Xiaolu came out holding a basket of strawberries each.

"I've been waiting for a long time. Today's work is successfully completed and I can go back to the city." Yan Ruyu said with a smile, put the strawberries on the car and covered them with a sackcloth.

Then the two girls also sat in the car, and Ah Nua skillfully pushed the car away.

The yellow mud path in this field is not very flat, and it is not convenient to ride a bicycle. It is easy to stay on the cement road outside.

Pushing the cart, Ah Nuo couldn't help turning his head to look a few more times as he passed a garden covered with branches and propped up by brackets on the way.

Seeing his curiosity, Yan Ruyu said, "This piece is grapes. It has been planted for two years, and it will bear fruit this year."

"Will it bear fruit this year?" Hua Xiaolu raised her eyebrows, "Then it seems that our chamber of commerce will have another special product, wine."

"Hey, indeed."

"Hey, tell me, should we order a batch of wine bottles from the glass factory earlier?" Hua Xiaolu suddenly thought, "The packaging can be upscale, and we can also order another batch of red wine glasses. An IQ tax for those rich people in the south."

Yan Ruyu really thought about it seriously.

The most regrettable thing about her Farmer's Chamber of Commerce is that the fresh fruits and vegetables produced cannot be transported for a long time, and they cannot be sold to those big families in other places, which really makes a lot of money.

"But it's not necessarily true. Glass wine bottles are still a bit difficult to transport, and they are easy to break." Hua Xiaolu added, "You can make a little less, try the water first, sell well before ordering in large quantities."

Yan Ruyu nodded, then suddenly remembered and said: "By the way, isn't there a lively war going on in the south? Maybe at some point those big families who are afraid of death will all come to our place."

"Indeed, the housing prices in Miryang will definitely have to go up by then. Should our guild buy a few more properties?"

"What do you buy from Miryang? If you want to buy it, you can buy it from Xunyang. Regardless of Miryang's development now, when Brother Shu ascends the throne in the future, the capital will definitely be transferred."

"It also makes sense..."

Listening to them chatting about the appreciation potential of real estate in the two places, Ah Nuo really felt that these two young ladies knew a lot. During the days of working with the president, he gained more knowledge than the previous 20 years combined.

As he listened, his heart was gradually shaken, should he use the money he saved to buy himself a small courtyard while the house price hasn't risen in this period of time?

If not, wait another two months, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it...

Ah Nuo was tangled in his heart, and it was rare for him to have his own little troubles.

In the official office of the governor's office, Jiang Shu was sitting in front of the case, checking the secret letter that had just been delivered.

According to the letter from the player spy in the capital, after the death of the emperor, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Hengchuan couldn't sit still, and arranged for the transfer of family members and property.

Especially when the news that Xing Sang led his troops down the Hong River and planned to attack Hengchuan by water reached the capital, it aggravated the panic of Hengchuan residents.

In fact, the death of the Son of Heaven and the Southwest King at this time is an opportunity for Huaiyang King Pei Qian. He can finally inherit the throne openly. After all, the Pei clan can't find a purer royal blood than him.

King Huaiyang was indeed trying his best to grasp this opportunity. He held a grand funeral for the emperor according to the ancient system. While taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of defending the capital, he tried his best to appease people and win the support of some aristocratic families.

It's a pity that his prestige is not great enough, and he is not even as powerful as some powerful families. Therefore, even though he tried his best to stabilize the situation in the capital, the number of gentry who moved their families to Qingzhou, Yizhou and other places is still increasing day by day.

Jiang Shu predicted that in a short time, the Northland would usher in a big wave of immigrants. At that time, the old capitals of Xunyang and Miryang would definitely have the influx of nobles from the Southland.

And if the war does not end immediately, the number of refugees will definitely increase significantly, and preparations must be made in advance to receive and resettle refugees.

Thinking about this, Jiang Shu temporarily put the secret letter aside, and immediately opened the map to observe the terrain in Huaizhou.

If Xing Sang attacked Hengchuan by boat by water, he would be able to reach it in at most three days. It would be good if King Huaiyang, Wang Yi and others could stop him, but if they couldn't, the army would besiege the city sooner or later.

To be honest, after the battle of Jiangqing City ended, Xing Sang did not expand steadily to the surrounding area, nor did he immediately ask the commander of the six barbarians to fulfill his promise and worship him as king. Instead, he continued to attack eastward in a risky way, directly Heng Chuan, in Jiang Shu's opinion, this step is really too hasty.

The other party did this as if he was afraid of something, worried that if he didn't take Hengchuan at this time, he would have no chance again.

Are you afraid of the reinforcements in Xunzhou?

Jiang Shu made a guess, but he couldn't be sure. He really didn't think that Xing Sang's character would be afraid of anything, but he couldn't find any other reasons besides this.

All in all, because of Xing Sang's unexpectedly accelerated attack, their original plan to seize Huaizhou territory became urgent.

According to the latest news, Bu Jingyun is still leading the army across the river on the Xunzhou reinforcements side.

The Lai River is a large river that runs across Yizhou. The river is turbulent, with the widest point reaching a kilometer and the narrowest point being a hundred meters. It is extremely difficult to transport tens of thousands of troops and tons of supplies across the river by small boats. Things are bound to take days.

In fact, at this time, if there is a large ship to carry the army down the river, it will be able to reach the Zhujiang area directly, which is only one county away from Hengchuan. It is a pity that Yizhou does not have such a large fleet for the time being.

There is one in Qingzhou, but even if he can borrow a fleet from Xie Min, he can't send the boat into the inland for a while.

To put it bluntly, Yizhou was Liu Lang's territory after all, and he couldn't stretch his hands too far.

Jiang Shu could only pray that after the army successfully crossed the river, they could reach Hengchuan in time before Xing Sang's army surrounded the capital.

Five days later, Hengchuan City.

Zhou Mo frowned and walked past the luggage carts full of wooden boxes, and then walked to the carriage and asked the steward if the number of luggage was checked correctly.

At this time, if other gentry passed by, they would probably think that the vehicles loaded on them were the important property of the Zhou family.

In fact, there are indeed some valuables inside, but they are not gold, silver, jewelry, or silk, but boxes of ancient books.

Since the news of the emperor's death spread, some families began to flee north with their property. After thinking about it for a long time, the Zhou family finally made up their minds to let the younger generation move to the north first. Zhou Mo was one of them.

It's just that unlike other brothers and sisters, the luggage he brought is only a small amount of clothes and money, and most of them are precious classics that he transferred from the Secretary's Department by taking advantage of his position.

To do this is somewhat rebellious, but Zhou Mo has no other choice.

He thought that once the flames of war spread to Hengchuan, with the nature of Hu people burning, killing and looting, these precious books are very likely to be damaged or even destroyed.

Many of the books in the Ministry of Secretary's Collection are rare and rare, and if there is any good or bad, it will be a huge loss.

As a book lover, Zhou Mo was really worried, so he took the initiative to transfer out the few and most precious batch of classics, and planned to take them to the north and return them to the old capital, Miyagi.

This matter was done so secretly that even most of Zhou's family members didn't know about it, but Zhou Moxing got his grandfather's tacit approval before this matter, and he thought it was enough.

After counting the luggage many times, Zhou Mo took his wife and children into the carriage and was about to set off when a familiar voice came from outside asking them to wait.

Zhou Mo opened the bamboo curtain of the back door, only to see Xie Jiao jumped out of the carriage in a hurry and walked towards them, holding an ordinary wooden box in his hand.

Thinking that the other party came to say goodbye to his sister, Zhou Mo was about to take his wife out of the car, but Xie Jiao quickly stopped him and said, "Brother-in-law, sister, you don't need to get out of the car, I only have one thing to ask you all."

Zhou Mo looked at Xie Yan, and the woman immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"Are sister and brother-in-law going to Xunyang?"

"good."

"Then I would like to ask the two of you to help pass this item on to Governor Jiang of Xunzhou." Xie Jiao stood beside the car, reaching out to hand the wooden box into the car.

Xie Yu took the ordinary wooden box, feeling slightly puzzled in his heart, wondering when the Xie family and the Jiang family had friendship.

Xie Jiao's expression at this time was extremely serious, and he emphasized to the two of them again: "This is something that Father wants to pass on to Governor Jiang, please treat it with caution."

Hearing that it was Xie Xian's order, Zhou Mo and Xie Yan were quite serious.

Zhou Mo assured Xie Jiao: "Qiuyue is at ease, I will hand it over to Governor Jiang personally."

"Thank you." Xie Jiao breathed a sigh of relief invisibly, as if he had diverted a big trouble, and immediately took a step back, cupping his hands and said, "Then Qiuyue wishes my brother-in-law and sister a smooth journey and good luck in this trip!"
