Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Although General Ouyang was ordered to deliver grain and grass, the quality of the grain and grass had to be checked in advance.

Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome to send it back when the time comes and it will not be used.

Before General Ouyang set off, he thought that the destination of this trip was Jiangnan or Lingnan. After all, only these places can grow good rice grains. This is everyone's consistent opinion.

Later, when he heard that he was going to Suizhou in the northeast corner, he was confused.

In the northwest, like Suizhou, the winter is long and the summer is short, and it is still extremely cold at night. How can good rice be grown in this climate?
General Ouyang didn't quite believe it.

Although Suizhou has more rain than their Saibei counterparts, growing food is not as simple as relying on rain.

Now that Master Li asked him to look at the food, he really wanted to see it.

Master Li said: "There are some shelled rice here, and some unhulled millet. Mr. Shen said that after the general brings the grain back to the northwest, if there are some animals to raise, the shells will be of great use." It is very big, so I prepared half for the generals, here are some grains of rice noodles, and some dried mushrooms at the back, it is light and convenient to transport, and it can also improve the food for the soldiers in the northwest."

"Mushrooms?" General Ouyang asked.

"Exactly." Master Li said, "Since Mr. Shen built the road, the road from Suizhou City to the five subordinate counties is much faster than before. If you want to come to this road, it will be repaired in half a year, and the whole line will be open by then. , to transport the goods, it is estimated to be faster than before. These mushrooms came from Daiyang, where there are many mountains and forests, and many nutritious mushrooms are good for the body. Good for the body."

General Ouyang did not expect that Mr. Li was quite healthy.

However, since it was dried in the sun, it was not troublesome to carry it, so I left it.

Master Li continued: "After the mushrooms, there are several large bags of dried fruits, most of which are harvested from the people of Linping County. They are used to make soup or as dry food. They are also a good food."

General Ouyang's complexion did not change, but the soldiers under him salivated when they heard this.

Life in Northwest China is hard, and they basically eat whatever they have.

He Zeng also considered the issue of nutrition.

Basically, as long as you can fill your stomach, you are already thankful.

Every time the grain and grass are not delivered in time, there may be clear soup and water for a period of time, and sometimes I will be so hungry that my belly sticks to my belly, my complexion is yellow and emaciated.

Now, seeing what Master Li said, they are all starting to get greedy!
General Ouyang's complexion was pale, and he replied lightly: "Yes."

After talking all the way, he just arrived at the rice storage area. Master Li asked someone to open one of the bags and said, "This is our Suizhou rice. The general can come and see the quality of this rice."

General Ouyang squatted down unceremoniously, and felt even more surprised when he saw the rice in the sack.

The rice grains seemed to be bigger than what he had seen before.

The grains are full, the whole body is white, and it is still very complete.

He stays in the northwest all year round. How many years has it been since he has seen such good rice?

Seeing that General Ouyang's eyes froze, Mr. Li took the initiative to introduce: "Our rice in Suizhou has always been grown well, but the yield is not high, and the ears of rice are not large. After Mr. Shen found out, he ordered the agricultural officer to teach the farmers personally. With regard to fertilization, the grain is now more than twice as good as before."

Saying this, he is proud in his heart. He is also in the rice grain business, and such good Suizhou rice can go out of Suizhou.

The key is that this business is still handled by him himself, who is not proud?
