The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 222
Zong Che was right. In the south of the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed several groups of non-government forces due to the flood disaster, but they did not form much momentum.

After that, no relevant information was sent. An Xu only cared about the rebellion in the south a few days ago. Later, An's family sent a letter, saying that the rioters had been suppressed before they reached Zhipu County.

Knowing this, she couldn't do anything, and Beiying had too many things to do, so she gradually forgot about it.

After entering September, the northern border became noticeably colder, and the sweet potatoes planted earlier were not growing anymore. An Xu and Zong Che went out for several days to check the growth of the sweet potatoes.

Then I found that this thing didn't grow, but the underground stems no longer grew, but the sweet potato vines and sweet potato leaves on the surface became greener and still lush.

Although it's only September, the temperature in the north is already below zero. When I went out this morning, An Xu saw a thin layer of ice forming in the water basin outside.

The endless sweet potato fields are green and lush. If you don’t open it and take a look, it is a scene of a good harvest.

An Xu said that he had studied farming for a few years, but had never really been in the field, so it was a bit strange to see that sweet potatoes can survive in a low temperature environment.

Kneeling down and reaching for the fat green sweet potato leaves, An Xu said to Zong Che: "If this thing can survive the winter, it will really be called a life-saving thing for the people in the north."

Zong Che said: "Let's come and see in ten days. If he is still alive, I will send someone to cut the seedlings and send them to Jiping City immediately."

Now Zong Che is also in charge of the affairs of Jiping City, which was valued by the emperor in the past, but now it has added a heavy burden to him.

It is not enough to worry about the camp in the north, but also to worry about the reconstruction of Jiping City.

Speaking of this, less than 3000 people have only returned to that place. At night, the wind blows through the corners of the city, like a ghost crying.

When An Xu entered the city before, he heard many versions of ghost stories with Jiping City as the background.

"Okay, let Lei Ze go with him, he is very talented in agriculture."

Lei Ze can easily learn An Xu's composting methods or the deployment of some basic pesticides.An Xu is very optimistic about him, thinking that he will definitely have a great future in the field of agriculture.

Zong Che would not blindly isolate people whom An Xu valued. If they were really available, they might not be able to be promoted one or two.

Zong Che agreed to this proposal without hesitation.

After looking at the nearby sweet potato fields, the two mounted their horses and returned to the barracks.

The popularity of sweet potatoes is already very large, but if you want to survive this winter, you still need to buy food from outside.

When he arrived at the barracks, Zong Che called the generals to a meeting without taking a break.

This year's winter food, let's all figure out a way.

An Xu is also trying to figure out a way. She has accumulated a lot of connections over the years. She went back to the tent and did a careful calculation. She found that if she wants to survive this winter, she must have at least 10,000+ catties of grain.

This is not counting the many soldiers in the barracks.

Therefore, at least one million catties of food needs to be raised to basically ensure that the total population of more than 60 in the northern border does not go hungry.What's more, there are still many war horses in the barracks who want food.

Counting up to this point, An Xu felt a little fortunate that the third part of the grassland started the war before.If it is deep winter, when everyone has no food or drink, everyone will come with the mentality that you will not die, and it is not certain who will win and who will lose in the end.

Thinking of the thousands of catties of wheat and corn per mu in future generations, An Xu wanted to go back and get some high-yielding seeds.

One acre of wheat can produce more than 1000 catties. If this was told to the people nowadays, they would definitely laugh it off and regard it as a dream, so they would not feel at a loss of being powerless to miss it.

But An Xu knew that it was all true, and that if she was willing to expand her knowledge when she was in school, she could grow high-yielding wheat seeds herself.

It's just that at that time, how could she have thought that one day she would face a food shortage.She didn't have to worry about food and clothing. At that time, all she wanted was to bring food to the table with the most delicious taste, and she cared more about nutritional value than satisfying hunger.

So now An Xu is scratching his head and trying to break his head, and he has only a little idea about the cultivation of high-yielding wheat seeds.

So even if she knows that increasing the yield per mu is the greatest weapon against natural disasters, the easiest thing to do now is to mobilize all her connections and ask people to deliver food to the north.

Before I knew it, the piece of paper in front of me was messed up.

"Ma'am," Aunt Wu came in with a cup of tea, and said in a low voice, "That Miss Su Yaotiao is here again."

Su Yaotiao?
An Xu, who was full of alpha and beta in his head, didn't match the name with the character for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he realized who it was. He nodded and said, "It's her. During this period of time, doesn't she often stay in the gaining place?" Is it Liangcheng?"

It is said that when An Xu and Zong Che set up a stall to collect exotic seeds, and spread out the hot and cold soap making methods, the whole Huoliang City and the Nuoda grassland outside only knew soap but not fragrant soap. up.

The Su family, whose main industry is fragrant pancakes, was wiped out, so Su Yaoyao stayed in Huoliang City for a while and never came back.

Later, the news of the second prince's assassination spread in the northern border. Some generals who were still looking forward to the second prince's power and still retained some loyalty were discouraged. Instead, Su Yaoyao frequently came to the North Camp.

She went to find Dai Lun.

When Dai Ji came to eat at the main camp, he told Su Yaoyao clearly what he wanted to ask and what he encouraged Dai Ji to do.

Therefore, An Xu didn't even know why this woman came to her again.

"Let her in."

Aunt Wu stood aside and waited quietly after she had finished her words. After hearing the order, she bowed her head and went out.

This behavior is much more stable than when she first came to the main business.

An Xu took out another blank sheet of paper, and Su Yaoyao walked in with a haggard look, knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

"What's the matter?" An Xu was surprised, "Miss Su, if you have something to say, get up quickly. Aunt Wu, bring me a stool."

"No need," Su Yaoyao hated her hypocrisy in her heart, but she had to pretend to be extremely docile on the face. She put her hands on the ground, her forehead resting on the back of her hands, "Ministers should kneel."

"What do you want?" An Xu asked directly.

Su Yaoyao raised her head slightly, with an unexpected look on her face, "Madam, don't you know what I'm asking for?"

"I don't know," An Xu said, "You kneel when you enter the door, don't you ask for something?"

The humble feeling of asking for help made Su Yaoya feel ashamed and embarrassed, if possible, she wanted to turn her head and leave now.

No, leaving directly couldn't relieve her anger, and she wanted to slap her hard and ask her how dare she spread their family's fragrant pancake formula all over the street.

From the day when the soap came out, the Su family wanted to suppress it, but it was only when they started to find out that there were more than one or two people holding that kind of soap that was better than fragrant soap.

It would be hard enough to attack one or two families, but I didn't expect so many families.

The Su family was immediately dumbfounded. They couldn't suppress it directly, and they couldn't fight a price war. They could only find out who leaked the soap recipe.

Then after checking and checking, they found the warlord and his wife.

If it is an ordinary person, they can still retaliate to relieve their anger, and then force them to find out the soap recipe, just find a wilderness place and bury it.

But these are not ordinary people. They can only knock down their teeth and swallow their blood, and they dare not even ask "Is the soap recipe improved on the basis of my family's Xiangganzi recipe".

Su Yaoyao lowered her head and said, "I was the one who caused Madam to have no children, but I was also punished."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and took off the moon-white glove on it, revealing a finely polished wooden hand.

Seeing such a hand suddenly, An Xu was startled, and then asked, "Did Zong Che cut it?"

Su Yaoyao didn't believe that she didn't know, she nodded with tears shining.

An Xu admired her a little, because Zong Che chopped off one hand, but there was nothing wrong with it, and she was still able to go to and from the Peking University on a daily basis, which is really admirable.

"Ma'am, if I'm like this, my whole life will be ruined. Don't you feel relieved? Why do you continue to deal with the Su family?" Su Yaoyao asked, "Madam can only relieve my hatred if I live on the street. Or do you want me Your life is fine, but please don't implicate the Su family."

An Xu shook his head, "I was tricked by your medicine last time. I blame myself more than I hate others, so I have no idea of ​​revenge on you at all."

"As for the soap recipes I spread out," An Xu said with a smile, "One is that I don't want to be manipulated by others if I use a piece of soap, and the other is that the fragrant soap from your Su family is too expensive. .”

So, it's not because of me that I deal with the Su family?

It seemed that Su Yaoyao's three views had been shattered, and she was dazed for a while before she said, "Aren't you going to take revenge on me, and even the Su family?"

An Xu said: "Yes. It has nothing to do with you. If it has something to do with it, it is also your sister."

Su Yaoyao's face was paler than before, and she asked with difficulty: "Then madam, how can you calm down?"

If this continues, the Su family's century-old foundation will soon collapse.

An Xu smiled and said, "When the soap is poured out, I've already calmed down."
