Because of his relationship with the Yu family, no one in Tanggu or Jingzhong would dare to mess with him. The business is going smoothly, and the Yu family has mastered the ice-making technology, so there is no need to worry about the freshness of the seafood. The major restaurants in Beijing have established a stable supply relationship with him. In addition to fresh seafood, Zhuang Xiaomo also opened a dried seafood shop in Beijing, and the business is also very good.
After more than a year, Zhuang Xiaomo has made a lot of money. With the money he earned, he bought a small courtyard in Beijing. After getting married, Xiao Lian would live in the capital for a while if she wanted to live in the capital, and live in Tanggu for a while if she became homesick. Uncle Yu and Xiao Lian didn't dislike him when he had nothing. Over the years, Aunt Yu and Uncle Yu have treated him like their own sons and helped him a lot. Even the seafood business was managed by Sister Xiaocao. It can be said that without the Yu family, there would be no Zhuang Xiaomo now!
Zhuang Xiaomo kept this gratitude deep in his heart, and treated Xiaolian even better after marriage. The two of them had never blushed in their entire lives. When they had differences, Zhuang Xiaomo always put Xiaolian's opinion first. . Even when he monopolized the seafood industry in the Gyeonggi area and became an important wealthy businessman in the capital, this has always been the case.
At that time, the girls in Beijing were most envied by the sisters of the Yu family. One is married to a hot prince, and the other is hired by a well-known wealthy businessman. The two men are unswervingly loyal to the sisters of the Yu family and love them very much. Whether it is emotionally or in action, they have become a couple for life. This is something…
The Yu family had a lot of happy events, and the business of the fine seed business became more and more prosperous. High-yield wheat seeds have been popularized in the north, and gradually spread to central China, and more and more seed merchants are attached to Yu's breeding farm. In the Yu family farm, whether it is corn, potatoes or winter wheat seeds, there is no need to worry about selling them, and the supply is in short supply.
Every summer and autumn harvest season, seed merchants line up in front of the farm all night, for fear that they will not get enough good seeds. You know, the common people in the whole Northland only recognize the seeds from the Yu Family Farm and the Royal Breeding Base.
As soon as the good varieties that come in enter the warehouse, they are sold out immediately, and as many as there are are sold. Even if the imperial court suppresses the price of fine seeds, the profits of the seed merchants are still very considerable. The opportunity to make money is naturally within our grasp, so why not work a little harder
The days of Yu's family are getting more and more prosperous, and Xiaocao's business is getting bigger and bigger. However, the increasingly large numbers on the ledger couldn't resist Xiaocao's feeling of missing someone.
It has been almost two years since Zhu Junyang led his troops away from Beijing. Although there were correspondences during that time, he was not with him after all. Since he appeared in Xiaocao's life, he has never been away for such a long time. I am used to being alone by my side, used to being greeted by the other person, used to being loved by that person, no matter how busy Xiaocao is, I can't ignore the void in my heart, as if it will never be filled, which makes people flustered.
For more than a year, Xiaocao deliberately used busyness to numb herself. She could have been the royal breeding base that could have been a hands-off shopkeeper. She ran there every now and then, and put forward some feasible suggestions from time to time. As a result, the officials and managers in charge of the breeding base thought that they had been too comfortable recently and their work ability had declined. In order to keep up with Mr. Yu, the officials from the breeding base to the tenant farmers all worked harder and harder. When the autumn harvest came, the output went up to a small level. What a pleasant surprise.
Because of the high-yielding winter wheat, the annual output is more than one year. If the fertility can keep up and the service is meticulous, it is absolutely no problem to produce six or seven hundred catties. Compared with the previous two hundred catties per mu, the yield has increased by two or three times. The successful breeding of high-yield winter wheat has benefited the common people in central and northern China, and lived a life without worrying about food and clothing.
As a result, the officials in the south couldn't sit still, and they jointly signed a letter, requesting the emperor to send Lord Yu to the south for inspection and help them improve rice production.
If Zhu Junyang was there, Xiaocao would travel to the South at public expense without further ado. If someone is free, she can still be by her side and arrange everything for the journey properly. She doesn't have to worry about anything, just travel around the mountains and rivers.
However, since Zhu Junyang left, she was not in the mood to attend the gatherings held by her good sisters, let alone travel long distances to the south. However, since the emperor summoned her into the palace to discuss the matter of high-yield rice, the top boss must give her face.
So she set up an experimental field of paddy fields of about ten acres near the water source in the breeding base, and tried to grow rice. When selecting rice seeds, she deliberately asked the tenant farmers to pick the full and large seeds one by one, so that she was careful and careful. When preparing the land, enough farmyard manure was applied, and film was specially used after sowing the seeds.
This layer of film has high efficiency in water retention, soil retention, fertilizer retention and temperature increase, and can increase the speed of rice seedling raising. Of course, when cultivating seedlings, she must not forget to add diluted Lingshi water to ensure the seedlings are strong, resistant to diseases and insect pests, and high-yield.
As for the water in the paddy field, she also did some tricks. So many officials in the imperial court are staring at this experimental field, and the emperor also attaches great importance to it. However, Xiaocao also knew that he couldn't eat a fat man in one bite, so when he used the golden finger, he controlled a certain degree.
Even so, during the summer harvest this year, the rice yield in the experimental field reached 500 catties per mu. The most fertile fields in the south are carefully tended in the old-fashioned way of farming for many years, and the maximum is only more than three hundred catties. Generally speaking, if the yield per mu exceeds 250 catties, it is already a top-notch field.
As soon as this number came out, the reputation of Yu Xiaocao and the Royal Breeding Base spread far and wide again. Officials in the south were moved to tears. You know, in the past two years, officials in the Northland have frequently sent out good news and reported a series of data, throwing the south a hundred and eight thousand miles away. People in many places regard the Northland, which was not in their eyes, as the cradle of food and clothing. Some people left their homes and moved to the Northland from the south... Can the officials in the south feel better when they see it
However, who let the North land produce a good farmer, who not only planted high-yield corn, but also improved wheat seeds, so that all the people in the North land can fill their stomachs. When writing letters to the emperor, officials in the south also had the mentality of trying. After all, there are many dry fields in the north, and the very powerful Mr. Yu may not be good at planting paddy fields.
Fortunately, they tried, otherwise, Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice, would never be able to turn over under the pressure of the Northland! Officials in the south, how much they envied the officials in the north before, now they are so grateful to Princess Jin'an, they almost don't regard her as a bodhisattva's maiden of good fortune in their hearts! The first year I tried planting paddy fields, I doubled my production! According to the experience of winter wheat, the output will increase again next year. Jiangnan will be saved, and the people in Jiangnan will be blessed! !
Yu Xiaocao's prestige reached a new high in the imperial court. Many old ministers who used to look down on her as a girl got PIAPIA slapped in the face. Although I wondered in my heart whether this yellow-haired girl is favored by God, she is not only talented in farming, but also a good hand in business!
Now, this girl is the hottest person in the imperial court! She was being favored, and the emperor rewarded that girl with a lot of good things because of the bumper harvest in the experimental rice field. In the Yu family's warehouse, the things bestowed by Guang Yu accounted for a small half! Moreover, the properties under their hands are closely related to their lives. It's too late to curry favor with such a person, how could someone who is not open-eyed provoke her into trouble
Yu Xiaocao's career and business have been going smoothly for more than a year, but the smile on her face has become less and less. Because, the spring of longing in my heart is still surging all the time. During the day, she worked desperately, keeping herself too busy to stop for a moment.
But no matter how tired the body is, once he calms down, his heart and mind will be occupied by some hateful guy. The feeling of not being able to miss it turned into the feeling of wanting to cry. Being a human being in two lives, Xiaocao never knew that missing someone would be this kind of constant melancholy, entangled in the bottom of the heart.
Just when Xiaocao came up with the bold idea of fighting for the post of Grain and Grass Officer and trekking long distances to the northwest to meet his lover, finally came the news that General Zhenxi had won the victory and returned to the court.
When the news reached Xiaocao's ears, she suddenly felt that the shackles of longing had been released. As soon as she thought that she would soon see that enchanting and handsome loyal dog, Xiaocao's mood suddenly became as clear as a clear autumn sky, and all the haze in her heart disappeared. Those entangled, painful, and dull emotions are all thrown away. The long-lost bright smile returned to her face.
Before Pingxi's army entered the city, the figure that made Xiaocao miss him had already appeared in the courtyard of Yufu. Seeing that familiar figure, Xiaocao threw away all her reservedness and shyness as a woman, and ran towards Zhu Junyang like a butterfly flapping flowers...
Maybe it was because the footsteps were too hasty, or maybe it was because the mood was too eager, Xiaocao accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt while running, and fell to the ground sadly.
Just when that little face was about to come into close contact with the ground, a pair of powerful arms picked her up like a chicken. Fortunately, Xiaocao, who had escaped with her upturned nose, was pressed into an embrace that was comparable to an iron wall. Her hard chest muscles almost knocked her tears out. The nose hurts and is so sore. If her nose had been reconstructed, it would definitely be useless by now! It's strange that Xiaocao still has the heart to think about these things.
"Be careful! Why are you a year older, and still so reckless?" The voice that had been dreaming a few times was still as elegant and moving as a cello, easily touching people's heartstrings.
"Wow~~~~~" Xiaocao suddenly couldn't control her emotions, hugged the waist of the person in front of her without a trace of fat, buried her face in his chest, and burst into tears. Tears wet the man's skirt in no time.
