Datang Nongwang

Chapter 367 Plant some sugar cane
Iron is impossible to hit.

People can beat them up before talking.

at this time.

The screams in the room gradually subsided under the persuasion of Qiao Hui and the others.

"Woooo..." There were sobs and whispered curses in the room.

But Li Chongyuan was still blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, "If you have the ability, tell me you want to learn blacksmithing. Believe it or not, I'll beat you to pieces."

"Woooo, I want to report you to my mother, saying that you beat me, woooo..." Wan'er was beaten up by herself.

However, this mouth still kept talking, saying that he would sue.

Li Chongyuan was so angry that he hated iron and steel, "You go and sue, Xingba, you go and get the carriage out, and let this girl go back to Chang'an, lest I get sick from anger."

Xingba in the courtyard didn't move when he heard Li Chongyuan's words.

He also knew that what his little lord said at this time was probably angry.

but.

Whether it's good for my little lady's behavior, or if I want to strike iron, I really should give him a good training, so as not to cause trouble.

After half a day.

Li Chongyuan opened the door and left with a sigh.

For this little girl's behavior, Li Chongyuan really couldn't figure out her context.

before.

I always thought that this girl was just making trouble and let it go.

But this time, he said he wanted to learn blacksmithing, and even after being beaten so hard by himself, he kept his mouth shut for a long time before not mentioning the matter of learning blacksmithing.

Qiao Hui and the others hurried into the house, comforting Wan'er.

But this little girl was lying on the bed, sobbing hard.

By evening.

After eating, the girl didn't come out of the house either.

And this time.

Li Chongyuan is no longer the same as before, leaving food for this girl or something.

He even pointed out that Qiao Hui and the others should not keep any food for themselves.

This is not.

At night.

The girl probably couldn't bear it because of her hunger, she crept open the door and went into the kitchen like a thief.

But when she found that there was no food in the kitchen, she stomped her feet angrily, and ran to the miscellaneous room to steal some taro.

"Hmph, bad fourth brother, smelly fourth brother, you don't even give me food, I must tell mother about you." Wan'er, who was holding a taro, threw it into the stove and started to light a fire.

but.

It took the girl a lot of effort and energy to light the fire.

And this time.

Li Chongyuan, who had heard the movement a long time ago, was standing at the door of the stove, "Are you going to burn my stove down again?"

Wan'er, who heard the movement, saw Li Chongyuan at the door of the stove, sniffed, and continued to throw firewood into the stove.

Neither breakfast nor dinner.

My stomach was so hungry that my chest was sticking to my back.

She didn't want to talk to the fourth brother she hated at the moment.

Seeing that the girl was still losing her temper, Li Chongyuan laughed it off and walked into the kitchen.

According to the night, and the fire in the stove.

Li Chongyuan sat on the pit next to Wan'er, "Do you know that you are hungry? Do you know how to start a fire? Then you know, if you simmer my taro seeds, my production of taro this year will be several tens of catties less." , what are you going to pay me for?"

"Hmph!" Wan'er snorted coldly when she heard that she ate some taro and was told to compensate him.

Want to lose money.

That is impossible.

How could Wan'er lose money if she was always in and out.

Li Chongyuan saw that the girl didn't seem to answer, and then he stopped talking, quietly watching the fire in the stove.

After half an hour.

Wan'er pulled the taro out of the stove, regardless of whether it was hot or not, she just peeled off the skin and stuffed it into her mouth.

here.

Li Chongyuan immediately stood up and left the kitchen without caring about her.

And outside the kitchen.

Li Chongyuan saw Xiaohong and Qiao Hui.

The movement in the kitchen smelled like fireworks, so the two of them would naturally get up and check.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Li Chongyuan, who was about to go for a run, saw the little lunatic driving the twenty big white geese left behind by his family to the waterlogged water early in the morning.

And the little lunatic held a small piece of caramel in his hand, and licked a couple of mouthfuls from time to time.

"Xiao Langjun, eat candy." When the little lunatic drove the big white goose past Li Chongyuan, he held the little caramel towards Li Chongyuan with some reluctance.

A piece of saliva hangs on the caramel.

Li Chongyuan also knew that this was the kindness of the little lunatic, "You eat it yourself, I won't eat it, you little lunatic."

After finishing speaking, Li Chongyuan moved his legs and ran out of the village.

The little lunatic looked puzzled at Li Chongyuan's leaving back, then sniffed, and continued to drive the big white goose towards the waterlogged water.

Shortly after.

The number of people running increases.

morning.

Sitting in the small courtyard, Li Chongyuan was writing and drawing when he suddenly thought of the little lunatic in the early morning.

"Caramel, um, this thing shouldn't be difficult to make, I should try it and see if I can make some to satisfy my hunger." Li Chongyuan recalled the method of caramel, thinking about whether he could try it again.

Caramel.

It is by no means affordable for ordinary people at the moment.

Its price is not to mention expensive, but also less.

As for the small piece of caramel that the little lunatic ate ​​in the morning, it is probably left over from his family during the Chinese New Year.

There is a saying.

When you have an idea, you have to practice it.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan followed Qiao Hui, went to the warehouse to get some wheat and glutinous rice, "Little Lang, what do you want wheat for?"

"Get something to try, but when you mentioned this kind of planting, I thought of something. So, you soak the wheat first, and I will use it later." Li Chongyuan seemed to be pointed out by Qiao Hui's words, After dropping a sentence, I picked up the notebook again to write and draw.

After half a day.

Only then did Li Chongyuan finish what he wanted to write.

In Lizhuang.

It does not grow wheat.

And Li Chongyuan himself was not from the north in his previous life, and he was not very familiar with the cultivation of wheat.

However, Qiao Hui's words made Li Chongyuan suddenly remember that in his previous life, it seemed that in the north, wheat was planted in autumn and winter and harvested in early summer.

Only then did Li Chongyuan think that it was already spring this year, and it was too late to try planting wheat, so he had to wait until this autumn to try planting whether it was feasible or not.

If it is feasible, then the grain will be available for two seasons.

"Xiao Langjun, the wheat is soaked, is there anything else I can do?" Qiao Hui asked Li Chongyuan after soaking the wheat.

After Li Chongyuan thought about it, he sent Qiao Hui to do this and that again.

Caramel, Li Chongyuan can't do it right now.

Maltose is actually a kind of maltose.

and so.

Li Chongyuan also wanted to try making maltose because he saw the little lunatic eating caramel in the morning.

It takes several days for wheat to germinate.

While preparing for work, Li Chongyuan thought of sucrose again.

Li Chongyuan immediately became excited when he thought of sucrose.

"Good guy, I almost forgot about this. Qiao Hui, go and call Qiao Su back, and let Xing Ba and the others come over too." Li Chongyuan had an idea in his mind, and ordered Qiao Hui loudly.

Qiao Hui, who got the words, hurried to call someone.

It didn't take long.

Qiaosu and the others have already been called back.

As soon as Qiao Su arrived, Li Chongyuan said, "Old Qiao, do you know the sugar cane? Has anyone seen it?"

"Xiao Langjun, do you want to grow sugarcane? This is a product of the south. It is very rare in the north, and no one knows how to grow it." Qiao Su knew what Li Chongyuan was going to do after hearing Li Chongyuan's words.

sugar cane.

It's already been there.

It's just that at present, only some remote places in the south can be planted. In the north, there are basically few such things.

In the West Market in Chang'an, you can only occasionally see them for sale.

When Li Chongyuan heard that Qiao Su knew about sugar cane, he was even more delighted.

The name is the same, and you don’t need to look for it, which saves a lot of trouble, doesn’t it, “Okay, okay, so old Qiao, you go to Chang’an, find someone to go to the south to buy sugarcane with hundreds of catties and come back , I have to try it in my Lizhuang."

"Xiao Langjun, do you really want to grow sugar cane? But sugar cane is not very useful, and we can't find someone who can make sugar." Qiao Su immediately asked questions.

Josu knows.

Sugar cane in the south is used to make sugar.

and.

Sugar made from sugar cane is still very sweet, but the price is extremely high.

but.

There are very few people who can make sugar, even if Li Chongyuan is a nobleman, he can't invite people who can make sugar.

That's why Qiao Su had such doubts.

Li Chongyuan does not know how to make sugar, but there is a saying, if you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig run?Even if you don't know it yourself, you can still experiment.

Even if it is really impossible to make sugar, the big deal is that he gnaws sugar cane every day.

Although, Li Chongyuan really doesn't know how to make sugar.

But there are so many videos in the previous life, even if you don't know how to make sugar, with those videos as a reference, it is not difficult to make sugar, but the quality of the finished product has declined.

Moreover, at this time, Li Chongyuan had already made up his mind to plant sugar cane, "Don't talk so much, just go if you are told, no matter what, you have to get me back sugar cane, it is best to get me a thousand dollars." Bring the catty."

Seeing that Li Chongyuan seemed determined, Qiao Su had no choice but to accept his orders.

It doesn't work if you don't take orders.

Last time, he was sent by Li Chongyuan to Chang'an to buy saplings, and now he really should go to Chang'an to ask how the saplings are going.

at dusk.

After Qiao Su and the others came back, they reported to Li Chongyuan about buying sugar cane.

"Okay, I understand. When the time comes, I will find my own way." After hearing Qiao Su's words, Li Chongyuan also understood in his heart.

This sugarcane is from the south.

And it's not just any South.

The south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains belongs to the south.

But this sugarcane is in the Lingnan area.

If you want to send thousands of catties of sugarcane back to Chang'an from the Lingnan area, it will take less than two months, and it will be impossible to transport it.

to this end.

In Li Chongyuan's notebook, there is also a plan to grow sugar cane.

As for the land.

Li Zhuang is gone, and the final plan can only be placed in Hujiazhuang.

While eating dinner, Qiao Su seemed to think of something, "Young gentleman, I heard from my brother-in-law that the north will send some cattle, sheep and horses back to my Tang country in the near future, and I don't know how many there are. "

"What? Are you serious?" Li Chongyuan jumped up in shock from Qiao Su's words.

Everyone at the table, seeing Li Chongyuan's shocked look, also dropped their chopsticks one after another.

But Qiao Su replied cautiously: "Young Master, this is what my brother-in-law said. I don't know the specific information. Or, I will go back to Chang'an tomorrow to inquire about it?"

"What are you asking about, you pighead? I told you last year that I wanted to buy some farm cattle. You don't care about such a big thing at all. Forget it, anyway, I have to go back to Chang'an. I'll go tomorrow. Just ask." Li Chongyuan has always remembered the matter of farming cattle.

Li Zhuang doesn't have a single farm ox, and the farming depends entirely on manpower.

Right away digging the ground, Li Chongyuan hired hundreds of helpers to work on it.

If there were farming cattle, Li Chongyuan would not have to spend so much money every year to hire people to plow the land.

This is not.

The next morning.

After finishing his morning run, Li Chongyuan went straight to Chang'an.

When Li Chongyuan returned to Chang'an, he thought he had forgotten his life in Lizhuang.

The current Chang'an City can be said to be full of flowers, with lanterns everywhere.

Li Chongyuan didn't pay much attention to Chang'an City with such a appearance. At this moment, what he paid attention to was the cattle.

several days in a row.

Li Chongyuan was running around in Chang'an.

even.

Li Chongyuan also went to the palace to ask to see His Majesty once more.

Farming cattle are lacking everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chongyuan, who came out of the palace, finally smiled knowingly, very happy.

Everything that needs to be resolved is resolved.

Cattle.

The Holy One specially approved Li Chongyuan's [-] heads, which can be regarded as solving half of the problem.

and.

The male has five heads and the female has fifteen heads.

With these fifteen cattle, Li Chongyuan believes that in the next five or ten years, Lizhuang's cattle will definitely become a huge group.

The matter of farming cattle was settled, which made Li Chongyuan very happy.

Li Chongyuan didn't even hide the matter of the blacksmith of the Xu family, he asked the Holy Majesty to write a note, and after running through several departments, he got the account of the blacksmith.

"Xiao Langjun, the old lady sent me to ask, are you going back to Li Zhuang or to my family?" Not long after Li Chongyuan returned to the county mansion, a servant of the family came over under the guidance of Gou Sheng .

Li Chongyuan was puzzled after hearing this, "What's the matter, Ma'am?"

"Back to Mr. Xiao, what the old lady means is that she wants Mr. Mr. Xiao to come back to my home because the spring plowing is coming soon." The servant responded cautiously.

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to my home in a while."

spring plowing.

This is a great matter.

Up to the Holy One, down to the people.

There is no one who does not pay attention.

What's more, it's still an old lady.

Every spring, the officials of Sinong Temple will write a letter to the Holy One.

As long as the permission is obtained, the officials of the various ministries will post announcements, comfort the farmers, and so on.

and.

The imperial court will also take a rest for a few days, specially for the spring plowing show.

Yes.

It's just for show.

Everyone from the sage to the officials has to show off for this year's spring plowing.

"Aniang, there is still nearly a month before the spring plowing. The Hundred and Fifth Festival has not yet passed, isn't it too early?" Li Chongyuan, who had returned to his family, had to hear his aunt's arrangement, and he was very worried. is speechless.

The old lady pointed to Li Chongyuan, "You, you, you are the only one who doesn't know the movements of the court in Lizhuang. The reason why so many cattle, sheep and horses were transported from the north is for spring plowing. Otherwise, why did the court want to do that? Make a big noise."

Li Chongyuan heard it at first, and then he understood why the people in Chang'an City made such a grand ceremony to welcome the cattle, sheep and horses transported from the north.
