Chapter 172
Hearing Liu Bang's blurted words, Xu Negative, who was holding a jade plate in his hand inside the veil, was dumbfounded, Lu Wan, who sneered contemptuously, became dumb, and Zhang Liang, who was sitting opposite, was dumbfounded.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Zhang Liang calmed down and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Liu Banghun waved his hand nonchalantly: "You mean the lady from the Xu family is older than Liu Ying? That doesn't matter, anyway, it's not a few years older. Besides, that brat often says that the three thousand girls are in the fairy class... ..."

The next second, he seemed to suddenly understand something, stood up abruptly, a little embarrassed:
"Mistake, mistake... You said that I was talking about this with her little girl, it's really inappropriate! Well, I'd better go to my in-laws first to talk about it!"

After he finished speaking, he strode out the door. Zhang Liang, who was opposite him, had a puzzled expression on his face. In his opinion, the age of bullshit or the fate of his parents, Xu negative was his junior sister, and Liu Ying was his student. If someone gets married, the seniority will be messed up.

At that time, is it possible to talk about each other?

His name is Liu Ying's apprentice, and Liu Ying calls him senior brother?
Most importantly, what is the relationship between him and Liu Bang?
Liu, you plot against me... Zhang Liang hastily chased him out, planning to strangle this evil relationship to death at the first sign.

Just when he was about to step over the threshold, he heard a crisp girl's voice behind him.

"Well, the Guajin hasn't been given yet!"

Zhang Liang staggered a bit, looked up at the sky, this kind of junior sister, don't mind!

East County, Baima County Ferry.

The spring rain dissipated the remaining freezing, and the warm wind turned to cold gray.

Chen Ping, who had just talked and laughed happily with Peng Yue yesterday and was sent out of the country, now looks at the turbid river in front of him, looks up at the sky, and the drizzle drips on his face, making him look even more sad.

The news that just came from the other side of the river, Sima Yang turned the other way...

The reason for saying again is because Chen Ping, Xiang Han and others have already led troops to teach Sima Ang a lesson.

At that time, Xiang Yu wanted to go north to attack Qi, so he ordered the kings he canonized to send troops to help. Sima Ang, king of Yin, did better than Yingbu, king of Jiujiang.

Yingbo at least sent thousands of old and weak people to fool him, while Sima Ang just pretended to be dead, as if nothing happened.

It's just that Yingbo is a mighty fighter, and he is invincible in every battle!
What are you, Sima Yang?
Therefore, Chen Ping easily pressed Sima Ang on the ground and rubbed it for a while, so he was awarded the title of Emperor Wu, the official title of Duwei, and was rewarded with twenty gold coins.

It was just the situation at that time, Liu Bang was about to go east, and Xiang Yu couldn't get away, so the two sides needed a buffer. Therefore, under his suggestion, Sima Ang's throne was not deprived.

But now?

Standing on the embankment, Chen Ping sang softly: "The water of the Canglang is clear and can wash my tassels; the water of the Canglang is turbid and can wash my feet..."

My great king knows that now that Sima Ang is rebelling again, I'm afraid that if he licks his face and returns to Xichu, he may be on the same tripod as Pu Gu and others!

Therefore, Chen Ping naturally slipped away with oil on his feet!
However, as an intellectual, he still has a certain integrity.

For example, the money that Xiang Yu gave him to buy Sima Ang, and the money that he himself received as rewards, etc., he did not touch at all, sealed it all up, and sent them back.

As for where to flee?

It is said that the King of Han is an honest and honest elder, and they met once again at the Hongmen Banquet that day, and now I heard that the other party is recruiting talents, which can be used.

Chen Ping waited on the ferry for a while, and saw a flat boat slowly approaching in the middle of the river, so he hurried forward to discuss the cost of crossing the river with the boatman.

I am ashamed to say that because I was running too hastily on the road, the money bag was accidentally dropped, so apart from a fancy dress, a long sword, half a pocket of fried rice and a coir raincoat, there was nothing else on him...

The so-called sunny umbrella, full of dry food.

Although there were no umbrellas in this period, things like coir raincoats and fried rice dumplings were indispensable when traveling far.

Well, there is no candied dates and sweet rice dumplings in this period, so this is a victory for the salty party!
After a while, Chen Ping boarded the ferry.

The boatman who lived on the boat since he was a child is very experienced. With just one touch, the boat started to move along the water and drifted smoothly to the other side of the river.

On the boat, Chen Ping just wanted to admire the skill of the boatman. After all, he himself is a landlubber and also suffers from seasickness, but now, the boat is running smoothly, as if walking on flat ground.

It's just that, with his eyes, after he inadvertently saw the movement of the boatman on one side, his heart skipped a beat, and his whole body was terrified.

The other party, seeing his gorgeous clothes, shouldn't he have the idea of ​​murder and robbery?
Well, his half sack of dry food has already been paid to the boatman as the ship's fare...

In the era when the road network was not well developed, bartering was the mainstream way of business.

For example, rural people exchange eggs for soy sauce and vinegar, and the famous chicken feathers for sugar.

Chen Ping glanced at several strong boatmen, and then considered that he didn't understand water skills, so he rolled his eyes and thought about it.

He took off the long sword at his waist and put it at his feet, and began to take off his clothes actively.

On the boat, the boatmen stopped what they were doing and looked at Chen Ping who stripped himself naked without blinking.

"It's really hot, what do you think?"

Chen Ping flapped his arms, resisting the urge to shiver in the cold rainy day.

At this moment, except for the coir raincoat, he was clean and clean, and the boatmen naturally saw that he was penniless except for his fine clothes, so they would naturally give up the idea of ​​murdering for money.

Although it's a bit embarrassing, as long as he can save his life, Chen Ping doesn't even mind getting into his crotch...

After all, these people are just boatmen, and their main business is punting, and they occasionally get rich.

It’s not like Peng Yue’s main business is to be a thief in Juyeze. When the boat reaches the center of the water, you have to ask people whether to eat noodles or wontons!
On the other side of the river, Chen Ping, who was dressed in a single suit, coir raincoat and straw hat, thanked the boatmen for their kindness. After picking up a straw rope from the ground, he tied his long sword around his waist. In the drizzle, Stride west.

Clothes can be given to them, but swords are not. This is the status of a scholar, the only decency he has left!

…………

Hanzhong County, Nanzheng.

In the north of the city, in the super-large farm of the Dahan Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Trading Co., Ltd., cows and horses are neighing, and people's voices are buzzing.

Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans.

Today is the time to start planting the second round of beans here.

In other places in Hanzhong County, the endless rapeseed fields are swaying in the wind from a distance, like a huge "scroll painting" slowly opening from the sky.

Liu Ying predicts that in less than a month, it will be the time for the official harvest.

After harvesting rapeseed, it is time to sow corn or rice, from one crop a year to two crops a year!
However, his [-] mu field here will not harvest any rapeseed this year.

As early as half a month ago, Liu Ying asked people to plow all the rapeseed here into the field. Although it seemed a bit wasteful, and he was chased and beaten by Liu Taigong for two miles, but he came from later generations. , it's all worth it.

After he harvested a crop of soybeans that barely kept his capital, he asked people to plant rapeseed, which was not for harvesting rapeseed to extract oil, but for green manure.

That is, the rapeseed that is about to mature is directly plowed and buried in the soil, and then used as fertilizer after retting.

Planting beans is to use leguminous plants to fix nitrogen in the roots to increase soil fertility, while using rapeseed as green manure is to increase the phosphorus and potassium content in the soil.

This kind of operation is a very common method in the green planting of later generations.

Based on the current industrial conditions, there is no way to mass-produce phosphate and potassium fertilizers, so this method is actually a helpless choice.

Liu Ying has also heard of a plant called milk vetch, which also belongs to the leguminous family. It can be used to fix nitrogen, feed livestock, harvest nectar, and plant it in rice fields as green manure.

It's a pity that this kind of thing was originally born in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Hanzhong County at this stage can't use it.

But what Liu Ying wanted most were two plants, one was alfalfa from Central Asia, and the other was rye from Europe.

Needless to say, alfalfa.

And rye is a very important helper for Maozi to conquer Siberia.

The reason why the Chinese farming civilization did not gain a firm foothold on the Mobei Plateau and further north in Siberia for a long time is that the local crops have poor adaptability, yields are low, and cold tolerance, drought tolerance, and weed tolerance are world-wide are relatively poor.

Even for the highland barley planted on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the seedlings can only withstand a few to ten degrees below zero.

Coupled with the limitation of the [-] mm precipitation line, the ancient farmers tried their best to settle down and farm there, and could only rely on the transfer of grain and grass from the hinterland.

In this way, the land of the extreme north became tasteless.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

When the national power declines, it is natural to give up.

The reason why the Cossacks can gain a firm foothold there lies in the artifact of rye.

The seedlings of rye can survive the low temperature of minus 35 degrees, and can safely survive the snow-covered winter. Even in places close to the Arctic Circle, this plant can be sown!
Moreover, rye is not only extremely cold-resistant, but also extremely cold-resistant and resistant to weeds. The root system of rye is extremely developed. Even in arid areas with less water, it can still absorb water. Even most weeds are difficult to compete with rye for nutrients. It is one of the few crops that can thrive without large-scale herbicides!

When European farmers are overwhelmed by weeds, as long as they plant rye before winter, there will be nothing but rye in the next spring...

And rye is not just a crop, straw and leaves can be used as pasture, so where it is suitable for farming, it can be used as food, and where it is not suitable, it can be used as pasture. It is not a loss!
Thinking of this, Liu Ying's waist suddenly became bulging, and a familiar voice appeared in her mind.

"I'm Zhuo, why are you still here?"

Beside him, Zhang Buyi was full of grievances: "I'm not here, where else can I be?"

Liu Ying turned her head, he still doesn't want to talk to this pig who wants to slap his own cabbage!
