Hot recommendation:,,,,,,,
In the blue sky, the sun hung like a fireball, and the clouds seemed to have been burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace.
There were two basins of ice in the study, but they couldn't dissipate the heat in the room. No matter how much ice, Yuxi dare not release it, because there is still Qihao in the house! It was also because of Qihao's good health that Yuxi dared to put ice in the house. When Zaozao and Liuer were young, she would rather be hot than iced, because she was afraid that the child would catch a cold.
Yuxi talked to Tan Tuo about planting potato: "Except for the land where potato was planted in previous years, other crops can be grown. Land that has not been planted potato, all potato is planted." Yuxi did not discuss with Tan Tuo this time, but instead. Give the order directly.
If Yun Qing had said this, Tan Tuo would definitely refute it face-to-face. The yield of potato is high, but the people in the northwest must be unaccustomed to eating this new crop. If all the potato is planted, rice noodles will be a rarity next year, and the price of rice noodles may double or even more. This is not conducive to the steady development of the Northwest. Just because it was Yuxi who said this, it is not what it used to be, and Yuxi is now very skilled in handling government affairs. Yuxi must know what he thought of. Knowing that there were such consequences and even giving such an order, there must be reasons that he didn't know.
Tan Tuo asked: "Why, princess, what is this?"
Yuxi has made full preparations and said to Tan Tuo: "The old farmer told Han Ji that there might be a major drought in the northwest next year. Potatoes are planted in October this year and can be harvested in March. Even if there is a major drought next year. , It won’t affect the potato harvest.” This was just an excuse Yuxi found. But this excuse is better than her saying that Jiangnan will have floods next year. In the event of a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, food will be in short supply. Potatoes that people in the Northwest don't like to eat can save many lives by then. You know, when this person is hungry, he even eats bark and grass roots, not to mention the potato that can satisfy his hunger. However, she would not say anything about Jiangnan flood disaster. If she said it, there will be flood disaster again next year, and Yan Wushuang will be able to attack her by that time. She is conspicuous enough that she doesn't need to attract people's attention anymore.
Tan Tuo was taken aback and asked: "Wang Hao, is this sure?" If there is a major drought, not only does it need to grow potatoes, but also other things must be prepared in advance. In places where drinking water is difficult, water for humans and animals must be stored.
Yuxi shook his head and said: "I can't be sure, but the old farmer said this is inferred based on his accumulated experience over the past decades. I think it would be better to believe it and not to trust it." In fact, the old farmer was asked to say this. of. With Ok-hee protecting him, there is no need to worry about life safety, and this is the benefit of those in power.
Tan Tuo remembered what Yuxi had asked to build a water cellar before: “The princess is afraid that there will be a major drought next year, so I let those villages that have difficulty drinking water build water cellars?” But after thinking about it carefully, Tan Tuo felt wrong. Obviously, the princess only recently learned that there might be a major drought in the northwest next year, and the order to build the water cellar was issued last year, and the time is not right.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No. Last year, people in some places had difficulty drinking water, so they thought about building water cellars for them, which to a certain extent alleviated the problem of drinking water." The size of the water cellars was built according to the number of people in the village. Yes, as long as the water cellar is filled with water before the drought, the water in the water cellar that is really drought-stricken should be able to be used for drinking by the villagers for two to three months as long as the water in the water cellar is used reasonably.
Tan Tuo also thinks: "Wang Hao's practice is very good, but in this way, next year's rice noodles will grow wildly." The material is rare and expensive, and rice noodles are grown in the entire northwest, and the price is naturally high.
Yuxi said: "Don't worry about this. The rice noodles and beans stored in our grain warehouse can meet the normal needs of the people for half a year. In addition, at the beginning of the year, I sent people to Jiangnan to buy food." Yuxi took it out. One million taels came to buy grain. One million taels of grain sounds a lot, but on average, one person is only a few kilograms of grain, which is not too much.
Seeing that Yuxi had already made a plan, Tan Tuo knew that it would be useless to say more: "Did the prince agree to this matter?" He also got Ji Xuan's money, otherwise the princess could not be so wealthy.
Tan Tuo really wanted to go wrong with this. Even if he didn't get the huge sum of money from Ji Xuanzang, Yuxi would still use the money to buy food. Knowing that there will be natural disasters next year, it would be foolish not to buy more food.
Yuxi nodded and said, "I have discussed this with the prince, and the prince has also agreed." People who have been hungry like to store food. Yuxi is like this, and Yun Qing is no exception. Hearing that there might be a natural disaster next year, Yuxi said that he would spend one million taels of silver to buy grain and store it. Yun Qing still felt that there was less, and asked for an additional one million. But last year they had already stored a large amount of grain, and Yuxi was not prepared to buy that much more. Everything can't be done too absolutely, it's almost done.
Tan Tuo agreed with Yun Qing, but he still had objections: "It is now the end of July, and there are only more than two months left by October. The potato seeds must be distributed as soon as possible." Most of the potato seeds are held. In Yuxi's hands.
Yuxi nodded and said: "These grain seeds are lent to them, and they will be returned to the government when they have a good harvest next year. In addition, when they borrow the seeds, they will tell them that when the potato harvest next year, the government will buy them. Let them not worry about the sale of potato." With a market, these people will grow up vigorously, and they will not go wrong.
Tan Tuo thought for a while and said: "Wang Hao, will such a large-scale planting attract pests?" Tan Tuo also had a thorough understanding of the potato.
Yuxi naturally thought of this, and said, “When the potato is intercropped with soybeans or radishes, the probability of pests will be much smaller.” In the past two years, the experienced farmers are doing it. Experiment in this area. It turns out that the effect of interplanting with potatoes is very good.
Tan Tuo saw that Yuxi knew everything, and said with a smile: "That's good." In the past two years, the government has done everything that the government promised to the people. So now in the northwest, the government is still very prestigious. Unlike the imperial court, the official documents issued did not say that the people did not believe it, but many officials did not take it seriously.
Because it is to be interplanted with soybeans, in addition to potato seeds, soybean seeds must be prepared. However, soy seeds are basically kept in every family, so soybean seeds are not worried that they are not enough.
In order to grow potato, Tan Tuo took An Zike and other officials to get busy. Tan Tuo knows the importance of things. He didn't disclose a word about the possibility of drought next year. Tan Tuo told An Zike and others that Yuxi believed that potato production was high, so he asked the people to grow potato.
Because the yield of potato is really high, Anzike wanted to promote it before, so I didn't think much about it. And because the government promised to buy potato next year, the people are not disgusted with planting this kind of crop.
People in the northwest didn't feel anything abnormal, but Yan Wushuang smelled a different smell. Yan Wushuang asked Meng Nian, "Isn't there any reason?" Han Yuxi suddenly asked the entire northwest to plant potato, there must be a reason.
Meng Nian shook his head and said, "No. The news we found only said that the Han family had to vigorously promote it because of the high production of potato."
Yan Wushuang denied this statement without thinking about it: "Impossible. Han Yuxi is not in power on the first day. She can't help but know that there will be many disadvantages in planting potatoes in the entire northwest." Common people's daily needs include rice, noodles and soybeans. As with other things, it's not a good thing to grow potatoes. Moreover, once the pests raged in such a large area, they would not even be able to collect the originals. Yan Wushuang also knows that potato is prone to pests.
After a pause, Yan Wushuang said again: "And since last year, Han Yuxi has started to store grain." At this point, Yan Wushuang's eyes flashed and said, "Han Yuxi has the ability to predict. Will she predict that there will be something in the northwest next year? Natural disasters. That's why the people in the Northwest are allowed to grow potato. She is storing grain."
Meng Nian still said before: "Master, Han Yuxi can't have the ability to predict." Because Yan Wushuang said that Yuxi has the ability to predict, Meng Nian made an in-depth understanding and analysis of Yuxi's childhood experience. The result of the analysis is that Han Yuxi is an unfortunate person. My mother died, my father didn't care for my grandmother, and he was often bullied by other sisters. If it weren't for the protection of Qiu's family, he would have died a long time ago. After growing up, it was a series of unlucky things, marrying Yun Qing also had several lives and deaths. And those with predictive ability are the lucky ones who are loved by heaven, and Han Yuxi has nothing to do with luck.
Yan Wushuang knew that Meng Nian had recognized that Han Yuxi had no foreseeing ability. What he said was useless: "Even if there is no foreseeing ability, she should have gotten some news from other places. Meng Nian, we should also save food. Even if my inference is Wrong, storing more food is not a bad thing."
Although Meng Nian did not believe that Han Yuxi had the ability to predict, no one had too much food. Meng Nian said, "But the summer harvest has passed. To buy a large amount of grain, we can only wait for the autumn harvest." Xia Harvest and they also bought a batch of grain, but the amount was not large, only enough for the lieutenant soldiers to eat until October and wait until the autumn harvest. Be sure to buy more at that time.
Yan Wushuang nodded.
Meng Nian said another thing: "Master, I found a piece of news. When Yu Xiyu was in the nunnery, he used to learn Northwest dialect with the maid beside him." Yu Xiyu learned Northwest dialect from the maid for so long, no matter how cautious. I also accidentally missed the traces, and was overheard by a little nun in the nunnery. Because it has been so long, the little nun has forgotten it. Coincidentally, not long ago, the little nun met a woman from Northwest China who came to Lingshan Temple to offer incense, and then she remembered it when she spoke Northwest dialect to her servant woman.
Yan Wushuang said with a cold face: "It turned out to be hiding in the northwest, no wonder no one can be found." The northwest is where Yun Qing and Yuxi are located. It just so happens that the two of them are not interested in treasures, so this woman can't escape the catastrophe. Up.
Meng Nian felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and said, "Master, this matter has to be discussed long-term." They and Han Yuxi were like water and fire, and all the people sent to the northwest were broken except for the few hidden ones. Sending someone over is also going to die.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "What are we going to do in the long term? Tell Yun Qing and Han Yuxi directly, and Yu Xiyu and Zhou Xuan are in the northwest. However, Han's ideas are very different from others, so we still have to prepare with both hands." The northwest secretly seeks. But if their people go to find them, they can't do it in March or May.
Meng Nian knew that this was Yan Wushuang's obsession, and did not object.
