Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world
Chapter 186 The plague rages 8
Lin Qian was sitting under the eaves of the main room, and Duan Jin brought in the dozens of selected people: "Girl, these are the people who can withstand three moves in my hands."
Everyone who was standing had tidied up fairly well. Duan Jin might have taught her the rules in advance, but no one dared to raise their head to look at her.
Lin Qian was very satisfied with Duan Jin's execution ability. She turned her head and motioned for Danxin to come forward and explain the rules of the competition: Everyone comes up to draw lots, and those with the same number will compete against each other, and the winner will advance to the next round.
The four generals sent over by the Marquis of Xiangyang pricked up their ears and listened carefully. The girl said that apart from the top three, each of them could choose 5 people from these people to form a escort team.
Lin Qian ignored the competition below, holding her chin in her hands and letting her mind wander.
These four new arrivals may look like they are loyal, but in fact their target is Tang Lang.
So what if she holds the bonds of prostitution from these four people? They don't recognize her, and they want to use the escort to Lingnan as a springboard to show their abilities to the boss of the former Zhenbei Hou.
The generals of the Wei Dynasty are currently in a period of drought. Tang Nu is the one with the highest reputation among the people because he defeated the Turks. Although it was only a small victory, it was inspiring enough.
From ancient times to the present, there has been no shortage of people who have gone to buy stocks at troughs. After finding out what a few people were thinking, Lin Qian suddenly lost interest.
When the four of them knelt down and asked the girl to give their names, she casually said: "Di Yi, Di Er, Di Shan, Di Si."
In ancient times, women who wanted to take power mostly wanted to share the power of their father or husband. The reason why the story of Mulan joining the army has been passed down and is regarded as a positive example is because she is filial to her father and loyal to her emperor. The most important thing is that female generals do not want high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and they do not seek fame. Li, finally disarmed and returned to the field.
No matter how she thought about it, Lin Qian felt that it was not worthwhile. Even if she convinced people with her ability and ability, what she could give at present was too little.
Tang Lang hooked her fingers, and if Tang Shiming and Tang Jiyuan said a few words, people like Di Yi, Di Er, Di Shan, and Di Si would abandon her without hesitation, because with them, the future would be bright.
Moreover, this is regarded as an internal transfer of the Tang family, and it is not a move to another owner. There will be no psychological entanglement or public opinion burden at all.
Lin Qian recalled that her second brother Tang Jiyuan once felt that Duan Jin was meticulous and proper in his work and wanted to take him over.
Tang Pingzhao felt that since it was his brother who asked, Duan Jin said that it was all up to the girl, so he agreed to Tang Jiyuan's request for exchange.
When Dou's mother found out about this, she became extremely angry and called the two of them over to reprimand them. Duan Jin was even beaten ten times.
The two siblings were frightened. Dou's mother asked Tang Pingzhao to visit Duan Jin with good wound medicine when she returned, and asked her if she wanted to go to the border with her brother to practice.
Parents love their children and have profound plans for them.
It's just that the original person remembered that his brothers usually said that it was a bitter and cold place and that his martial arts skills were mediocre, so he shook his head and said that he didn't want to cause trouble to his parents.
There is no shortage of training methods and resources in the space. Lin Qian does not want to spend resources to cultivate elite generals and instead make wedding dresses for others.
After the people below competed, the top three were each awarded 5 taels of silver.
Di Yi, Di Er, Di Shan, and Di Si went down to select people. The selected people were given 2 taels of silver, and those who were not selected were also given half a copper coin.
What came next was the highlight of the day. Duan Jin came into the courtyard with a dozen women of different ages.
In order to avoid shocking the world, Lin Qian and Duan Jin said that they wanted to select some hard-working maid servants when they were away from home. Anyone who was willing to go to Lingnan with her could sign up and accept girls over 13 years old.
The conditions were very relaxed, but only 18 people came.
Lin Qian simply called them one by one for questioning. Some were able to say a word or two, while others lowered their heads and hesitated and couldn't say a word.
While asking, he held his hand to check his pulse. As long as there was no disease and the body was still strong, all the people were accepted. Those who were not selected were given half a pound of silver as usual, and the six selected people were each given 6 taels of silver.
After selecting good people, Lin Qian told Di Yi, Di Er, Di Shan, and Di Si to start training. These people were not to be ordinary servants, but to be full-time guards with weapons.
You have to take a lot of things with you when you go out, and the road is not stable. When you go to the wild, two teams of people have to take turns to keep watch every night.
Duan Jin brought Manager Xia, who was in charge of Zhuangzi, to visit him. Lin Qian sat there for a long time and then simply got up and said she wanted to go to the fields.
The summer grain harvest has been finished, but there is never a shortage of work in the fields. Men, women, and even children who can barely walk have to work for the grain.
After Guanshi Xia's introduction, Lin Qian converted the units. The current yield per mu of high-quality paddy fields is about 300-400 kilograms, with two crops a year.
There is a river and two wells near Zhuangzi, so there is no need to worry about irrigation.
Lin Qian saw the best fertile fields without having to squat down and touch them with her hands. Compared with modern farmland, these fertile fields were visibly barren to the naked eye.
Therefore, although there are sweet potatoes and potato seeds in space, these high-yielding crops require soft, fertile soil that is not prone to waterlogging, and are very susceptible to diseases during the growth process. Planting them casually is a disaster rather than a blessing.
Lin Qian asked a few more questions about the fields. Although Manager Xia was a little confused that the girl would ask about fertilization, he still tried his best to answer.
Human feces, livestock manure, weeds, plant ash, bean sprouts, and river mud can all be used as fertilizer.
In order to maintain the fertility of the prime fields, Zhuangzi ordered several carts of the city's excrement from "Ye Xianglang" every day.
Lin Qian remembered that she had read a time-travel novel before. The protagonist started out by selling excrement. He was a little tired, but he could make money. Later, the protagonist turned "Ye Xiang Lang" into a business like water transportation.
After walking for a short distance, the uppers of my shoes were covered with mud, and then I went to check the new grains that had been loaded on the cars. These were all food that I took with me on the road. There were 5 cars in total.
After returning to the main house for a farm dinner, Lin Qian returned to the city with Danxin, Duan Jin, and the 6 selected girls.
The family is packing things, and the shopping has been taken over by her cousins. Now she is just waiting for the specific departure time from the Marquis of Xiangyang, and is ready to set off on the road.
The next day, Lin Qian took someone to the Cui Mansion to collect the dowry. In fact, she didn't have to come to the door in person this time. She just had to have someone bring back the dowry list in full.
But there is still a grudge that has not been avenged. After all, the saints say that repaying grudges with straightness and repaying kindness with kindness.
"Ms. Tang, the old lady said she won't see any guests."
Lin Qian was already prepared, handed a letter to her mother-in-law, turned around and left.
In addition to a list of valuables sent by the original mother-in-law to please her mother-in-law, the list also contained a sentence at the bottom: "Princess Xincheng is pregnant."
Soon, Mrs. Cui brought someone over with a blue face. Lin Qian sat on the chair and congratulated her with a smile: "Madam, you are so lucky to have found a good daughter-in-law."
Even though she was angry, Mrs. Cui still asked the maids to leave the house and guard the door for the sake of the Cui family's face. She asked, "How did you know about this?"
Lin Qian picked up the tea cup, took a slow sip, raised her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Cui lowered her voice and said, "It says that the princess is pregnant!"
The Cui Mansion has already made a joke. If people find out that the two of them are pregnant out of wedlock again, everyone in the Cui family will be criticized when they go out, and the Duke's Mansion will be completely offended.
Every family has dirty things going on, but every family wants to hide it and maintain a bright and beautiful appearance.
Lin Qian shouted: "These are all my dowry things, why does Madam want to keep them for herself?"
"You!" Seeing that she didn't answer the question, Mrs. Cui opened the letter, only to find that the bottom line had disappeared completely.
She suddenly seemed to remember something and her eyes widened: "The letter is from you!"
Lin Qian stepped forward and clasped her hand, and the silver needles in her hand, as thin as ox hair, quickly penetrated several of Mrs. Cui's large acupoints, and shouted: "Come quickly, Mrs. Cui has fainted!"
The maid outside the door quickly opened the door and came in. When Cui Hao and Master Cui received the news and returned home, Mrs. Cui still didn't wake up.
Mr. Cui invited the imperial doctor to come to the house for consultation. The old doctor with a gray beard checked his pulse and came to the same conclusion as the previous doctor: "It's a big seizure."
Commonly known as a stroke, Mrs. Cui is currently suffering from hemiplegia, numbness on one side of her body, and slurred speech and tongue.
Lin Qian pretended to feel guilty and said, "I shouldn't have asked Madam to take those things back."
Cui Hao and Mr. Cui didn't know who to blame. Mr. Cui even felt that his old wife was getting more and more confused. When word spread about this, people in the Cui Mansion were shameless when going out. I had never heard of someone who was so angry that he had a stroke just to steal his daughter-in-law's dowry.
Master Cui told his mother-in-law: "Take out all the things that the young lady has given as a dowry. If they are gone, go to the treasury to get some money."
Lin Qian glanced at Mrs. Cui one last time. The bowl of medicine you gave me that day is now returned to you.
