The Adventures of the Mad County King on the Domain [Infrastructure]

The two were happy, and they hit it off immediately. Having said that, Xie Qian still secretly remembered the owner of the paper mill and several craftsmen. When the situation in the county improves in the spring of the coming year, he will definitely find an opportunity to repay all those who have worked hard.

With the free support from the paper mill, the second version of the shed was quickly refitted, with dismantled paper windows on the east and west sides, and wood and mud walls on the north and south.With such a structure, although the light under the shed is still not very bright, it is much better than when there was no light at all before.

There are earth dragons in the ground for heating, and the cold wind is isolated every day, and they are bathed in the sunshine through the window paper. Finally, all the seedlings have lived up to expectations. Looking at this small piece of emerald green that is rare in winter, Xiying Everyone can't help but ignite new hope.

At the same time when the Song family's grain planting team spread the good news, Gou Yu finally crossed the mountains and ridges, leading a grain transportation team composed of Xiying soldiers and Lemo people, and ten refitted carriages, Arrived in Jinyang City.

To say I regret it, I really regret it.In the city of Chang'an back then, Gou Yu was also a highly sought-after talented man, but now he followed the wrong master and spent more than a month wandering in the vast ocean of accounts, so busy that his face was disheveled and his hair was withered and yellow.It finally came to an end, and before it was too late to raise the poor hair, Xie Qian said a word and sent him to a place far away to transport food.Carrying a stack of library silver that can be used but not used, and shouldering the burden of second-rate dealers, selling high and low income, Gou Yu scolded Xie Qian thousands of times along the way, but if he was asked to take this mission He was neither relieved nor willing to transfer it to others.Thinking about the group of hopeful citizens in Mi County, and thinking about the generous salary Xie Qian gave him every month, Junjun Gou cursed again bitterly, and knocked on the door of Zhao Dahu's house according to the plan.

As mentioned in the previous article, Xie Qian in Jinyang City pretended to be a passing merchant, modified his car to make a small profit, and got acquainted with two local snake merchants in this city.One is Wan Laifu, the shopkeeper who runs the Laifu Inn and Laifu Tea House, and the other is the big family Zhao who controls most of the carriage and horse business in Jinyang City.

This time, Gou Yu carried the greeting card and name card written by Xie Qian himself, and the first stop he came to look for was this big family Zhao.How he mediates and cooks Zhao Dahu will not be mentioned for the time being, but he will turn around and talk about Xie Qian who grows vegetables.His "indoor planting" has achieved remarkable results. Although the vegetables in this shed have not yet been eaten, and although many seedlings are not strong enough due to insufficient sunlight, they have taken a small step towards the emergence of seedlings. A big step for harvest.No matter how much suffering (specifically being scolded) is ahead, Xie Qian turned a deaf ear to it and stepped on it directly.

On this day, under the scolding of Master Ye, the leader of the workshop, he forced out two masters—too many things needed to be built, the county city was busy, and the county guard's mansion was also busy, and the manpower could not be allocated at all.Even with the addition of more than 30 apprentices selected from the Lemo people, they are still too busy to even take care of their saliva.In short, he grabbed two out by force, and built four or five sheds one after another near the vegetable shed without stopping.

The master craftsmen cursed, and the planting group headed by Song also cursed on the other side.

Why even the planting group scolded?

Because the first batch of vegetables has not been harvested, and because the scale is too large and there are not enough people, it is impossible to be busy.

It's a pity, no matter how much you scold, Xie Qian spread his hands, and took out the bastard who is a magic star: No, you have to do it, and you have to do it if you can't do it!It doesn't matter whether the first round is harvested or not, the other sheds must also be fully planted!There wasn't enough manpower, so he randomly picked up the off-duty soldiers from the West Camp, and if there wasn't enough, he simply rolled up his sleeves and went to plant the fields himself.

With such shameless efforts, the Song's planting team had no choice but to work overtime while cursing, and even pulled out the idlers who were a little idler at home to help.Finally, on the third day after the new vegetable shed was built, all the pots and boxes were fully planted.

Since then, the members of the planting team have lived a miserable life of getting up early and being greedy for night, without taking care of food and sleep.Ordinary vegetable growing is nothing more than watering, fertilizing, and catching insects, and it will never be tiring.But no one has experience in growing vegetables in the shed, and Xie Qian has to take the trouble to increase the burden on everyone, such as how much more sunshine and lower temperature the vegetables under the window have, how the leaves are produced every day, how much they grow, and how the vegetables in the center are compared. What about these parameters; under the same light, what is the growth condition from the center of the shed to the periphery; under the same temperature, what about different light.There are all kinds of things, plus the amount of watering and the number of fertilization, all of which must be recorded, which really tortures everyone.

Fortunately, the weather was cold and the soil had been carefully screened. These vegetables did not attract many insects. Otherwise, the group might not even have the time to catch their breath and drink water.

Everyone was already too busy, and Xie Qian was still covered in mud and ashes while fertilizing, watering, and pouring chicken soup for everyone.It is inevitable to record more carefully for the first time, and it will be easier to open the shed in Shu County after having the original data. The members, the strong men who were forced to help, who didn't scold him a thousand times in their hearts Thousands of times, but the county sheriff has personally participated in the battle, so is it possible for others to pick up the pick and quit?Fortunately, these vegetables finally survived, and part of the harvest can be distributed to individuals, so the big guys gritted their teeth and endured it.

After suffering like this for nearly two decades, some of the leafy vegetables that were first planted were harvested, although the amount was very small, and the vegetables did not grow well. It looks like an enlarged version of bean sprouts, but even so, it is enough to cause a sensation in the whole Xiying, and even the whole millet field.

The new county magistrate has grown vegetables in the twelfth lunar month of winter!

What no one has been able to do for thousands of years, as soon as the governor of the county opened his mouth, it took ten days of effort to do it easily! !

This time, although it was not a miracle, it was far more exciting than a miracle.

Can farm in winter!Can be grown to eat!This means that in the future, even if you miss spring plowing, summer plowing, and autumn harvest, even in winter, you can grow something to eat with your own hands! !

This is more awe-inspiring and daunting to the starving Lemo people than any miracle.

Many people began to secretly regard the sheriff as the "God of Harvest" or "God of Planting" in their hearts. I don't know how many people changed from praying to the shaman to praying to the shaman during the morning sacrifice held by the shaman. Thank you for your prayers.

Of course, for Xie Qian, other than joining the planting team and having a delicious meal of scallion stuffed dumplings to celebrate, nothing changed in his life. He turned around and went back to the greenhouse to study his vegetables.

According to the experience of the Song family, the categories with a fast growth cycle include spinach, green onions, cabbage, and radishes. After the first batch of spinach and green onions are eaten, the cabbages and radishes will be harvested after the festival, and so on. After eating these, the second batch of scallions and spinach planted is almost ripe.After the first batch and the second batch are eaten one and a half months later, green peppers and eggplants can be added to the recipe one after another, followed by shallots and parsley, and after that, each vegetable matures in turn. Even if it can officially rotate.

The quantity is too small, Xiying people who have tasted a mouthful or half of fresh green onions and spinach, or temporary residents who have only seen it for a while, completely changed their attitude towards this simple paper shack within half a day. .For a while, there was an endless flow of people who came to find some initial members of the planting team to make friends with, almost tearing the curtains of the sheds, and there were countless people who hinted secretly that they wanted to work in the sheds.

The Song family had never seen this before, the first ones agreed, but the later it became, the more difficult it was to mediate, and finally they had to come to Xie Qian to discuss it with a sad face.After going back and forth, Xie Qian was entangled in trivial matters, so he simply gathered the three of them, held an emergency announcement meeting, and set several conditions. Those who are satisfied will not be allowed to come, and if there is any objection, they will all be pushed on him.

The conditions are not difficult to say, and simple is not so simple. First, regardless of seniority or age, after coming, you must obey the arrangements of the three of Song. Will never be hired in the future.The second rule is that those who have clean hands and feet, have experience in growing vegetables, steal public vegetables from the vegetable shed, deliberately damage vegetable seedlings, and those who do not come for two consecutive days without reason will be dismissed and will never be hired.

At the same time, he also put forward new requirements for the three members of the Song family. Once these people are hired, whoever is hired will be in charge. If they make a mistake, the person in charge will be jointly and severally responsible.

Since then, Xie Qian's vegetable greenhouse business has been carried out in such a lively manner.Mrs. Song and the other two wives recruited capable helpers, and they were finally able to take turns to rest, and they were no longer so resistant to the data recording of the vegetable shed.

Xie Qian's plan is to allocate two-thirds of the manpower when these vegetable sheds are on the right track, and gradually move the vegetable growing business from Xiying back to Shu County.For one thing, after a year of desertion in the city, there are now many vacant houses, which are much better at keeping warm than the vegetable sheds. It is better to use them to feed others if they are empty.Secondly, there are more and more people living in the county. If there are people, there will be barter and a market. Instead of starving together, it is better to let hardworking people and those who are willing to work hard get rich first. , and these rare and scarce vegetables in winter are important materials to revitalize the stagnant water in Shu County, and will also be an important income for maintaining Xiying's staple food in the future.

Busy days always go by so fast. Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, Gou Yu, who was dispatched last month to sell cars and buy food in Jinyang City, finally ghosted in a cold but sunny afternoon. coming.He brought back cart after cart of grain, and the food transport team stretched far and wide among the mountains.

At that time, Xie Qian was wearing a single shirt and was sweating profusely in the vegetable shed. When he heard the news that the grain transport team had returned, he quickly put on his fire fox cloak, which had been stained with a lot of plaster, and ran outside the camp gate. meet.His appearance was not much more positive than that of the convoy returning from a long journey. After working for many days, the little milk fat he brought from Chang'an had faded away, but it also added to him a calmness that was different from that of noble children.

He counted the grain trucks approaching from far and near one after another, and the big stone that had been lingering in his heart from Laishu County was finally unloaded at this moment.

This year, which is not easy, is finally going through smoothly.
