The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Sun House?

Xing'er was puzzled, not knowing where to look for it.

Jia Lian reminded: "Since he is well-known in the local area, just ask."

Xing'er slapped himself on the head in frustration, scolded himself for being stupid, then got out of the car and arrested someone to ask.

After giving up three Wen, they were taken to Sun Shaozu's door in person.

When Jia Lian got out of the carriage, he saw a square and clean small courtyard with vermilion lacquer on the door panels, shiny and shiny, as if it had just been repaired.There are five rooms in the courtyard, three in the front and two in the back. Trees are also planted to decorate the courtyard. At first glance, he looks like a person who knows how to live.

Jia Lian asked Xing'er to knock on the door.

One, two, three, stop.

After waiting for a while, the owner of the house did not open the door.

Xing'er: "Could it be that there is no one at home and you just went out?"

"No, there must be someone. The house is so clean and tidy. There should be women or servants in the house. It shouldn't be quiet at all. Go around to the back door and have a look." Jia Lian said.

After a while, Xing'er came back with red cheeks and embarrassment, and tiptoed to Jia Lian's ear treacherously: "Master, there is someone behind, but the voice is wrong, it sounds like a man and a woman are busy." Woolen cloth."

Jia Lian turned black and ordered Xing'er to knock on the door loudly.

Xing'er knocked a few times, and then heard someone shouting impatiently in the courtyard.

"Who is it? It's broad daylight, why don't you knock on doors for nothing?"

"Excuse me, is this the grandson's house? Our master has something to do with you, is it convenient to meet?" Xing'er got a hint from Lian's second master, and deliberately did not report the source, only saying it was 'master'.

The courtyard was quiet for a while, as if he was very interested in the title 'Master', and mistook it for a distinguished guest, and shouted excitedly: "It's convenient and convenient, wait a minute, I just took a nap and my clothes are disheveled , I’ll tidy up here and come out to welcome guests.”

Jia Lian leaned against the carriage and chuckled, lowering her head and flipping the fan in her hand.

This white jade fan was given to him by the fourth prince, who said that as a son, he should have something in his hand to show off.Jia Lian felt that this thing is not as practical as a sickle and shovel. It is fine in summer and can fan the wind. What do you do with this thing in winter? Maybe it is to block the wind! ?

At this moment the door opened suddenly.

Jia Lian looked up inadvertently, and saw a young man in an old-fashioned brocade robe coming out.He had a respectful and flattering expression on his face. After bowing to himself and saluting, he showed a flattering smile and cheerfully announced his family.

"So you are Sun Shaozu." Jia Lian looked him up and down. He heard that he was only thirteen or twelve years old, but he looked like he was over 20 years old. , like staying up late due to lack of essence and blood.Reminiscent of the sound that Xing'er heard at the back door before, he reckoned that this Sun Shaozu had mastered personnel affairs at a young age, and he couldn't control himself.

Sun Shaozu laughed, and politely said to Jia Lian, "I'm officially here."

Seeing that the gentleman in front of him was dressed in extraordinary clothes, he thought it was the son of the country gentry looking for him, full of flattery, and welcomed Jia Lian into the room to take his seat.

After Jia Lian entered the courtyard, he looked around and sat down calmly.

Sun Shaozu still stayed at the door, calling for people to come and serve tea.

After a while, two maids with flushed faces came in carrying tea.

Jia Lian glanced at the red marks on the backs of the two maids' necks, feeling sick in her heart.

Sun Shaozu didn't realize that Jia Lian was in a bad mood, so he said cheerfully and politely: "Please don't take offense, my lord. I have a small family and I can't support many people. Apart from the two girls, there is only one cook and one A young man who runs errands. Coincidentally, today a young man sent a message for me and has not come back, so I can only do the work for the young man, which makes the young master laugh."

"You're welcome." Jia Lian glanced at the tea on the table and moved his hands away from the table, feeling disgusted.

Sun Shaozu was stunned, and asked with a smile: "But rough tea is difficult to drink?"

"Jiao'er, I ask you to go and make the good tea that Zhang Yuanwai sent."

Hearing this, the oval-faced maid hurriedly blushed and agreed to exchange tea.

Jia Lian said coldly: "Mr. Sun, you don't have to be polite. I didn't come to you today to drink tea, but to see people."

"Then I would like to ask you, my lord, oh, look at my brain, I haven't asked you your name yet, so I don't know how to address you?" Sun Shaozu bowed again.

"Jia Lian." Jia Lian replied truthfully, his eyes were narrowed, and his smile was like the scorching sun, burning people and hurting the eyes.

Even Xing'er, he has never seen his Second Master Lian laugh like this.But laughing so warmly made him feel a chill on the back of his neck.Second Master definitely didn't laugh because he was happy, so...

Xing'er looked at the man named Sun Shaozu resentfully, with a sinister look on his face, hum, he deserves to be targeted by the second master!

Jia Lian?

Sun Shaozu was so startled that his eyes almost popped out.

"Are you the overseer that everyone is talking about outside? The overseer who wants everyone to plant new crops?"

"Why do you pretend to be surprised, Mr. Sun? You already knew me, didn't you?" Jia Lian fiddled with the jade fan in his hand, and raised his eyes indifferently. In front of Sun Shaozu.

Sun Shaozu was stunned, and stared at Jia Lian for a moment, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.I just saw it, obviously he was planning to come to this point, why now that this person really came, he was actually scared.

Sun Shaozu pretended to be calm, smiled and cupped his hands at Jia Lian and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Speaking of which, our two ancestors are quite close, and now we can meet again in this barren land in the northwest. It is really a great fate. Junior Sun Shaozu Say hello to Brother Lian again!"

"Mr. Sun is too polite. Calling us brothers is inappropriate for us." Jia Lian said sarcastically.

Sun Shaozu's heart was shocked and he was stunned.

"Hey... Mr. Supervising Army is right. How can our Sun family compare with your Rongfu. Speaking of which, why have you come here to find me recently?" Sun Shaozu pretended to be puzzled, but his heart was already full of doubts. A look of pride.At the beginning, he instigated the squires in the twelve nearby villages and counties to be extremely rebellious, in order to hinder Jia Lian from promoting the new breed.Of course, it is to let Jia Lian know how good he is, and come to the door to beg him.

Look, it really came true today.Naturally, he must be blackmailed severely, who told him to look down on himself!Then take the opportunity to find an official position, return to Beijing to be an official, and honor your ancestors.

"I heard from Li Lin that you took the lead in instigating everyone to say that these new varieties cannot be grown, and that the seeds distributed by the court are poisonous?"

Sun Shaozu originally thought that Jia Lian was going to ask him, but when he heard this, his face turned pale and he was so frightened that he lost his soul, so he stood up and explained to Jia Lian: "I'm wronged, I never said such a thing!"

He said so, but Sun Shaozu was still slandering in his heart: This Li Lin actually sold himself.Didn't he say that he had a big enmity with the court, but now he confessed to the court so frankly!

"A few days ago, it was even worse. Under your instigation, dozens of farmers hijacked their cars halfway and wanted to kill me. Thanks to my timely response and containment of the situation, otherwise, I'm afraid I can only turn into a ghost and come to you today. Sun Shaozu, I have no enmity with you in recent days, and in the future, why did you plan to murder me?" Jia Lian's denunciation did not have a half-angry tone, but his voice was flat, as usual.

But when these words fell into Sun Shaozu's ears, they changed into a sinister and threatening tone, which made him shiver from the inside out.

It's scary to be able to say something that should be angry so easily.

Sun Shaozu knelt down in fright, and hurriedly explained that he had been wronged, "I was just advising those gentry and peasant households, and begging for a meal. Such things as disobeying the court and murdering the supervisor, the grassroots are tens of thousands of people. I dare not do it, let alone take on such a responsibility.”

"You really can't afford it. If you have the guts to do it, don't you have the guts to admit it! Don't explain, I didn't come here today to listen to your explanation. I just came to see what the legendary figure looks like." Jia Lian's eyes fixed on Sun Shaozu body, and then moved to another place lightly.After a long while, when Sun Shaozu was so nervous and stuttered in cold sweat, Jia Lian said again slowly, "It's nothing more than that, it's disappointing."

Sun Shaozu was judged by Jia Lian in such a helpless tone, as if he had been splashed with a bucket of cold feces, and he was prepared to be humiliated, both internally and externally.

Sun Shaozu forcefully controlled himself to calm down, and then argued to Jia Lian: "My lord, everything has two sides. You must not only look at one side. Some farmers are shameless and indiscriminate villains. They have refused to accept the government's control for a long time. There is opposition. As a staff officer, I run errands for them and lobby everywhere. Naturally, I express my opinions based on their opinions. This is the same as the principle that companions are like companions. I can defy people's ideas strongly Are you coming? Naturally, I followed their original intention and said that only when I serve them comfortably can I get money. I really dare not take the name of instigating the adults! As for Li Lin, he is a reckless and impulsive boy. Well, your lord may not know that he has a great enmity with the imperial court, and his uncle's family suffered because of the yamen's order at the beginning."

"I heard that you are eloquent and eloquent. I saw you today. It is true. Sun Shaozu, even if you have a clever mouth, so what?" Jia Lian squinted at him, his mouth full of sarcasm.

Sun Shaozu looked at Jia Lian in bewilderment, not understanding what Jia Lian meant when he said this.

Jia Lian raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer, "I just don't believe you."

Sun Shaozu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.What did he say, he doesn't believe it?

"This is not a question of belief or not. Since the military supervisor is in the position of supervising the army, he should be clear about it. The state owns the laws of the country, and the army has military regulations. There is no escape from the word "reasonable". No good, if the adults have evidence in their hands and want to report me, I have nothing to say. But if there is no evidence, Er Ye, can you think about it, am I really being wronged?"

"You kind of scum, even if you are wronged, you are still doing harm to the people, which is very good." Jia Lian gave Sun Shaozu a blank look, and then ignored his clever arguments. Anyway, what he was sure of, he just said a piece of shit out of his mouth Hailai can't stay in the same way, "How about arresting you for disturbing the hearts of the people, deceiving the public with false rumors, and obstructing the imperial court's military plan?"

When Sun Shaozu heard this, his legs trembled with fright, and he almost peed in his pants.He looked at Jia Lian with a pale face, with depression and forbearance in his grief and anger, "Sir, what you said is a serious crime of beheading and exterminating the nine clans, my grandson Shaozu cannot bear this responsibility, please forgive me! "

Sun Shaozu gritted his teeth and said the last four words.

He immediately kowtowed, looking sincere.

However, Jia Lian was still not moved.

Jia Lian had already got up, and softly ordered Xing'er to notify the Yamen to arrest people.

Sun Shaozu was in a hurry. He was so frightened that he crawled up to Jia Lian, hugged his thigh and cried, "My lord, please forgive me. For the sake of the good relationship between our two ancestors, please forgive me. .My family has become what it is today, and I only hope that I can be successful. You can't kill our grandson's family! Also, those things that you care about, such as the farmer's gentry not willing to plant new varieties, etc. I, if there is me, I am willing to worship under your door, run errands for you, and promise to solve this matter completely for you!"

"Heh, you have finally revealed your purpose. Don't you just want to disrupt the situation and stand up to show off your role? Heh, you are confident." Jia Lian didn't bother to tell him that the matter had already been resolved smoothly.He raised his foot to shake off Sun Shaozu, but Sun Shaozu hugged his thigh tightly and couldn't move away.

Jia Lian sneered, picked up the bowl of hot tea on the table, and threw it on Sun Shaozu's back.

Sun Shaozu yelled loudly and shook off his clothes with both hands.

Jia Lian quickly left with a gust of wind.

Xing'er couldn't bear Sun Shaozu touching his second master Lian with his hands, and kicked him in the back when he went up. Sun Shaozu immediately lay on the ground, clutching his waist and screaming.

At this time, Jia Lian's young servant came with the official messenger from the yamen.As soon as the officials saw Jia Lian coming out, they hurriedly saluted. After learning about the situation, they immediately took someone to capture Sun Shaozu and put him in the prison of Dianzhou Prefecture.

As for Sun Shaozu's defense, Jia Lian didn't care much, and just reported the matter to the fourth prince, asking him to "handle it impartially".

Yinzhen has long been very angry at Jia Lian's encounter with unruly people in Gancao Village. He must explain Sun Shaozu to the Yamen and deal with him severely, but Li Lin and others should also learn a lesson.

"Now that the war is approaching, it is easy to breed turmoil. The morale of the army is unshakable, and so is the morale of the people. Li Lin is just being bewitched and used by others. He is ignorant and fearless, but nothing major can happen. It is better to use another method of punishment to teach him to understand the lesson. That's good." Jia Lian hurriedly stopped Yin Zhen's approach, and comforted him.

In fact, Jia Lian has a love-hate relationship with these uneducated farmers. Before, he went to the countryside to some remote areas to promote advanced agricultural technology, and occasionally encountered some rude people who tried their best to obstruct them. It’s even more strange and completely illogical, and it’s fine if you don’t like it or accept it. There are also those who say that new technology will affect their feng shui and inheritance, where can they make sense.But once these peasants accept you, they are extremely simple, enthusiastic and pure, so that people can't bear to do bad things to them.

"Your Highness, these people are not evil, they are just accustomed to the habits left over from the past, and instinctively reject outsiders. The so-called people have their own aspirations, and everyone has their own way of life. Since people are unwilling to choose, why force them?"

Yinzhen looked at Jia Lian meaningfully, felt what he said, and sighed, "You can think about it, but you are right, the current situation is indeed not easy to shake the hearts of the people, so that's all, I'll listen to you."

Jia Lian cupped his hands, and continued to talk about business, "Now the matter of spring planting has been completely resolved. There are six hundred farmers who signed up today alone. I don't know how many there will be when the deadline is three days later. After reviewing suitable candidates from here, we will enter into an agreement. The contract, when it comes to summer, we will definitely not have to worry about the potato harvest."

"In other words, this battle will definitely be fought!" Yin Zhen said excitedly, "Okay, very good! Jia Lian, you have done a great job. After our army defeats the barbarian army, I will definitely ask my father for your credit." .”

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and the grassroots are only doing their best." Jia Lian always wanted to be polite.

Yinzhen smiled and told Jia Lian not to be polite to him in the future, "Don't call yourself a grassroots in front of me, as long as there are no outsiders around, all rules can be avoided."

Jia Lian nodded in agreement, knowing that his relationship with the fourth prince was one step closer.

Although the two of them are not familiar to the point where they can chat casually, but soon, as long as he does one more thing for the fourth prince, I am afraid that he will become a truly talented and trustworthy person with the fourth prince.Even if he wants to leave at that time, the fourth prince will definitely not let him go.However, it would be better for the fourth prince to condescend to seek talents, and let him understand the truth of 'talents are rare and should be cherished'.This matter is the same as promoting potatoes. It is never easy to please those who are eager to catch up, but it is easier to be cherished if you wait for others to ask for it.

……

The winter in the Northwest is a bit difficult. Jia Lian is a person who is afraid of the cold but not the heat. When winter comes, he becomes lazy and basically stays at home every day.Because it is necessary to refine the planting plan for the early spring of the next year, Maodong is just right for him. By the way, he has thought through the whole plan in every detail. Even if there is an accident during the implementation of the next year, there are many ways to deal with it.

The days in winter are short and the nights are long. When you open your eyes and close your eyes, time is as fast as running water.

In a blink of an eye, when the spring grass sprouts, it is already March in the lunar calendar.

Jia Lian first popularized planting knowledge among the [-] selected farmers. There were [-] soldiers educated in the capital to help, so the planting progressed very smoothly.At the last stop at Licorice Village, many local villagers lined up to welcome Jia Lian, and even a five- or six-year-old boy picked wild flowers to send Jia Lian, saying, "Mother said that when I grow up, I must take care of Jia Lian." Looking for Mr. Lang as the supervisor!"

As soon as this remark came out, the villagers present burst into laughter, and they all praised the little girl for being "sightseeing and ambitious".

Li Lin and Patriarch Li were also among the villagers.Li Lin had no face to see Jia Lian again, his face was so ashamed that there was no place to put it, his head was almost buried in his clothes with his head down.He also signed up to ask for potato seeds, but unfortunately he was rejected.Many people in the village laughed at him because of this.Even those who lost the election went to his house to make a fuss, saying that it was because of his "carjacking and rebellion" that they were not favored by the military supervisor and lost the election.And those people who were selected ridiculed him even more, saying that he had the heart of a woman with a small stomach and a small belly, and he did that kind of indecent way to treat a good person like Lord Supervisor.

This winter, Li Lin had no face to see anyone.Being laughed at outside and scolded by his father at home, sometimes he couldn't help it, he really wanted to pull a rope and hang it on the crooked neck tree at the east end of the village.

Li Lin was drooping his head and feeling bitter, when he suddenly found that the bustling noises in his ears had disappeared.He felt a black shadow oppressing him, he didn't expect well, when he looked up, he saw Jia Lian's unparalleled handsome face.

Li Lin was stunned, lamenting the unfairness of this world.It's enough to give him such a good background, but he still has such a handsome appearance and amazing talents.Teach them how these ordinary mortals live!

At this time, the eyes of all the villagers followed Jia Lian and fell on Li Lin.

Li Lindun felt like a light on his back, thinking of all the ridicules and ridicules he had received this winter, his legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Jia Lian.

"Lord Superintendent, last year the grassroots were foolish, ignorant and reckless, and made a big mistake. Please, Lord Superviser, punish me severely!"

"I told you earlier, I won't punish you." Jia Lian's deep eyes fell on Li Lin's back, and the corner of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc, but there was a sense of treachery at the end of the arc.

"Please, please punish me. If you don't punish me, my life will be worse than death! Please!" Li Lin kowtowed to Jia Lian in tears, really regretting what he did. The next reckless thing.

"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." Jia Lian smiled, ignored him, and led the people straight to the field.

Li Lin lay on the ground, crying silly and annoyed.It seems that he will never get better in this life!

Standing on the ground, Jia Lian explained the main points of sowing to everyone: "Before sowing, you must dig the ground eight inches deep and then level it. If there is manure, after it is fully decomposed, mix it with plant ash and apply it to the soil when deep plowing. If I don’t have pigs or chickens at home, so it’s also good to dig pits and retting to collect fallen leaves and dead grass in summer and autumn. After that, I cut the germinated seed potatoes into pieces and sowed them. Each family will send professors to guide them in person on the specific placement distance. Someone will tell you. One more thing, you have to remember that the seed potatoes given to you must not be eaten, they must be planted in the ground, and if there are disobedients, we will not be responsible for any accidents.”

All the farmers were frightened when they heard the last sentence, and looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Jia Lian didn't intend to explain deeply: "Anyway, do as I said. When you harvest, after deducting the number of catties handed in, you should have nearly a thousand catties of surplus grain per mu of land."

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard that there would be so many catties of surplus grain left after handing it over.Forgot Jia Lian's threatening words long ago, and they all celebrated excitedly.

In the end, the villagers all planted the seed potatoes into the land smoothly according to Jia Lian's arrangement.

After that, there are those lands owned by the government. With the help of soldiers, the sowing is also very fast and very smooth.

Four months later, the potato harvest was bumper, and the yield per mu was almost above the estimated data.

The military grain warehouse is full, and Yinzhen even plans to build another ten warehouses for storage.

Jia Lian does not recommend building, but digging. "Storing in the cellar will not only save the potatoes better, but also avoid the danger of the enemy's fire attacking the grain and grass."

Yinzhen disagreed, and immediately ordered people to rebuild it.

The military ration matter is resolved, and the Northwest War is about to break out. Yinzhen doesn't want Jia Lian to take risks here, so he orders someone to send him back to Beijing someday.Before leaving, Yinzhen happily instructed: "When reporting the military situation, I have already reported your deeds to the royal father according to the facts. If there is no accident, when you return to Beijing, the royal father canonize you as an official title."

After Jia Lian thanked her, she said that there is another important thing to tell Yin Zhen.

"Sprouted potatoes are inedible and poisonous."

Yinzhen was startled, and looked at Jia Lian in surprise.

"Sprouting potatoes will produce a kind of solanine, a small amount is not fatal, but eating too much will cause a lot of discomfort. Your Highness don't have to worry too much, potatoes can't be eaten when they germinate, but they are just right for making seeds .As long as you grasp this speed well, there will be no problem."

Yin Zhen told many people to eat potatoes, so he believed in Jia Lian, but he was also puzzled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, why did you have to wait until now..."

Jia Lian: "His Royal Highness knew how difficult the promotion of potatoes was at the beginning. He said earlier that he was afraid of causing panic. Later, an idea popped up in my mind, and I found that this kind of germinated potatoes can be used to defeat the enemy and win. Because these Potatoes are in the planting period and will not cause any trouble, so I made my own decision and did not disclose this news in advance, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Yin Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard "control the enemy and win the victory", and hurriedly said: "Of course I don't blame you, let me tell you about your method of controlling the enemy and winning the victory."

Big Fish: Jinjiang, there were so many worms in the last chapter, but now it's because of you that you smoked it, so you won't let me change it! (Catch the day ing)

Jia Lian: Where is the worm, give it to me, and I will give it to Daiyu.

Big Fish: That's different.

Daiyu: What's the difference?The worms given to me by Lian's second brother have all turned into beautiful butterflies, so forget it if you don't want to give them to me! (Turning to Jia Min and saying: "I want to eat a whole fish feast tonight")

Big Fish (busyly stopping): That's inappropriate, it's easy to get stuck in... fishbone after eating so many fish.

A group of Dai fans (glaring)

Big Fish: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~I said I can do it myself.

Daiyu: Oh, let Baoyu bite you.

Baoyu: Exactly, why do you speak of Sister Lin!

Jia Lian: Upstairs, you made a mistake, try again,

Baoyu (looks at Jia Lian for a while with aggrievedness, then opens her mouth silently): Wang!Wang!Wang!

Jia Lian (smiling): This is good, (pats head)
