Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 136 Rapeseed
Song Liyun was taken aback, and hurriedly took back the account book on the table, when Yunniang heard the voice in the next room: "Zhen Ping, the girl is settling accounts!"

Yunniang felt that she was a servant in the Song family. She originally wanted to call Song Zhenping the eldest son and Xiaoan's son, but with just one sentence, Song Zhenping blushed with embarrassment and only asked to be called by his name.

Just now seeing Song Liyun counting the silver, she took Xiao An and Hei Jin who was injured to another room to play.

Now hearing Song Zhenping calling, she hurried out to greet her.

Song Zhenping heard that Yun'er was settling accounts, so he also slowly turned into the room where he lived next to him.

At this time, Hei Jin was wearing a red carp swimming bellyband, and was lying on the kang with his back stretched out.

Its wounds have healed, but its hair has not grown back. The wound on its chest is covered by the bellyband, and only a white ring around its arms can be seen.

When Hei Jin heard someone entering the room, he thought it was Song Liyun, so he quickly sat up.

But when he looked back, he found that he had already got up and lay down again, writhing like a slug.

Not long after, Song Liyun entered the room.

"Yun'er, hurry up and follow me to the backyard!" Song Zhenping stood at the door the whole time, seeing her come in, he dragged her to the backyard.

"What's the matter? You're in such a hurry!" Song Zhenping staggered, and Song Liyun was pulled a little unsteadily by him.

The originally empty backyard is now very crowded, with a vegetable greenhouse in the middle and a horse shed and a rabbit house in the two corners.

Ju Qingma still looked aloof, eating hay carelessly.

The rabbit house is already very lively, the three little rabbits have become ten, and the second baby rabbit is already in the dirt hole.

Song Zhenping pulled her into the greenhouse, stopped at a separate ridge, pointed to a few hair-thin seedlings and said, "Look, this fairy seed has germinated!"

Fairy seeds?

Song Liyun tried hard to recall, and only then remembered that he once took out some of the good seeds of the last days in the suitcase, and asked Song Zhenping to mix them with other seeds and sow them together.

At the beginning, Song Liyun came to see it every day, but the time passed slowly, and there was no reaction in the soil.

A month later, Song Liyun gave up.

As long as the water and temperature are suitable, the local cabbage can germinate in three days. These apocalyptic varieties not only did not germinate, but even turned black and rotted very quickly.

Even seeds that have shown signs of germination will eventually wither.

no way.

Song Liyun still needs the original body to get here. These foreign objects need to overcome a series of problems such as ten-year storage expiration and traveling through different spaces. It is more difficult to survive than human beings.

Song Liyun had already given up, and only Song Zhenping was still taking care of her every day, and there was not much water that should be there.

The hard work paid off, and finally sprouted.

Song Liyun lay on top of the filaments and observed carefully, finally saw two leaf embryos on the silk-like stem.

"What kind of seed is this?" Song Liyun asked, she gave Song Zhenping several kinds of seeds back then.

Song Zhenping affirmed, "It's rapeseed!"

He didn't know what rapeseed was, he just remembered what Yun'er said.

Song Liyun's face twitched, she looked at the little cabbage next to her, could she have made a mistake?

Rapeseed and cabbage belong to the cruciferous family. It is a hybrid of European cabbage and cabbage. It is the main source of vegetable oil.

She suspected that all the other seeds died, and only the rapeseed grew. Maybe it was the seeds that accidentally flew over when the cabbage was planted next to it.

Song Zhenping shook his head again and again: "No, no, I have written down every single one of these fairy seeds, and it is rapeseed."

Fine!Song Zhenping said it was fine.

But this reminded Song Liyun that cabbage seeds should also be able to extract oil!

The edible oil in the Wu Dynasty, excluding animal fat, was sesame oil. Families who had no money to buy oil would find some grass seeds to fry and squeeze the oil.

There was a new hope in the warmhouse, and Song Zhenping devoted himself to it.

He also wanted to know what kind of rape Yun'er was talking about, and whether it could produce oil like sesame and peanuts.

The rapeseed had seedlings, and Song Liyun also had motivation, so she went to the guard first to ask for goods from the Di clan.

Luo Baihu had said before that she could use items from the Di family to pay off the debt.

This time, Wang Jun needs to take out a carpet, and two pieces of cowhide, and a set of twelve horn cups for her to choose.

The carpet is worth 100 taels of silver, and the cowhide and horn cup are worth 30 taels in total.

Song Liyun was a little speechless, he only had an account of more than 20 taels of silver, and the guard would no longer give it away for nothing.

She said distressedly: "Uncle Wang, I haven't received the money yet, this election, wouldn't it mean that I owe money to the guard."

Wang Zhong ignored her crying, just touched the cowhide and sighed: "The Wu Dynasty forbids killing cattle without reason. These two cowhide alone are worth ten taels in the market. How about I count it for you?"

This is of course good!
But there were some things that Song Liyun really couldn't figure out.

"Since the Wu Dynasty and the Dilu Grassland have port and city exchanges of goods, why doesn't the Zhenbei Army directly sell them in the port city? These are spoils of war, why?"

She had thought about this question since she came back from Qili County.

It's really easy to resell for money by yourself, why doesn't the Zhenbei Army not do such an easy thing?

And the Wanchun leather goods store has been in Qili County for these years, and is willing to wait slowly, why not go directly to the grassland and the port city to buy goods?

Is it because of the monopoly of the imperial merchants?
Wang Zhong smiled wryly when he heard the question. He couldn't give any more explanations, so he could only say indifferently: "There are regulations in the army that you are not allowed to compete with the people for profit."

Why not sell it directly to the city, he is really not clear about the small military supplies of the guard.

He only knew that the port city of Hecheng was mainly operated and presided over by the three imperial merchants.

These three families are the Hua family, the Liu family and the Yang family. These three families can become imperial merchants, and the backers behind them are all people from the court.

In the past, the Zhenbei Army also exchanged leather goods for silver, but was sued by the emperor to the emperor, saying that the frontier army was secretly collaborating with foreign enemies.

Zhenbei Hou also wrote a letter to defend, saying that these Di clan goods were spoils of war, but he was asked by the Ministry of Households that the spoils of war must be handed over to the state treasury.

This time, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army stopped working, and the old men fought to death in the bitter cold land, and they couldn't even catch anything.

So when there is a war again, everyone will hide the spoils and sell them privately.

However, the government everywhere blocked the way to check, so that the small caravan did not dare to buy goods from the Zhenbei Army.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that behind this blatant all-round encirclement of the Zhenbei Army from the imperial court to the local government, there must be a power exerting pressure.

And even the Marquis of Zhenbei could not resist.

There is no bulk market, and these things are inedible, even for personal use, so they can be digested and processed internally, which is what every health center wishes for.

Hearing Wang Zhong say that the army should not compete with the people for profit, Song Liyun was dumbfounded. The reason was too good to be refuted.

This time she didn't choose a carpet, but only leather and horn cups.

As soon as I get the goods, I have to pay the debt, so I should be more prudent.

After all, Wanchun Fur Store only dealt with each other once, and if the other party's claim could not be fulfilled, it would be a loss for him to hold the carpet.

Compared with Song Zhenping's legs, enjoying life now is more important than money.
