Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 152

Not only old lady Su was surprised, but everyone else, including the Su family, all looked at Qin Shao.

"Well, I bought land here, but I haven't decided what to plant yet, so I just came over to have a look. I bought the basin and hill next to you."

Qin Shao laughed.

In fact, he didn't say that, including the place where Mrs. Su and the others live now, including the mountain with the spring, were also included in his territory.

When Wang Yin went to buy land, he learned that the land in Sutun produced too little food, which was not enough to pay the land tax. When the land tax was exempted, the land in the village was equivalent to being taken back.

Because there was no income, the government didn't look down on the land at all. When they traded with Prince Xiang's Mansion, they went to the government to sign a contract and gave the official a few taels of silver for tea. Qin Shao and the others were killed.

"Master Qin, those fields can grow some bumpy kohlrabi except in some places, but they can't produce anything. Weeds and thorns are everywhere."

Su Zhuzi couldn't help but said.

"That's right, Master Qin, didn't you become a childish student by studying before? How good it is to still study. If you pass the exam, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life! Why buy this wasteful land, where the food can't be produced, it's wasted !"

"Master Qin, you must have been deceived by that killer!"

Mrs. Su felt sorry for Qin Shao.

"Old lady, our Lord Qin has already passed the examination as a scholar, and we still have three yuan in elementary and middle schools. You don't have to worry about your grandfather's study! Besides, there is no land tax when you buy the land, so it might be useful someday."

Wang Yin felt that it was necessary to rectify his father's name.

"Oh! It's Mr. Xiucai! You're still a junior, maybe you'll be the master of Juren in the future, no, he's the number one scholar! That's a high official, a high official!"

Granny Su was so excited that she almost fell off her chair.

Apart from Lizheng in the town, there are also fierce government servants who demand population tax, and they have never seen any officials here!

To them, Mr. Xiucai is an official and a master.

"Granny be careful!"

Qin Shao had to exhort.

Just as Qin Shao comforted Mrs. Su, he made a plop!Su Tiezhu knelt down in front of Qin Shao.

Qin Shao was startled, what is this family doing?

"Master Qin!"

Su Tiezhu shouted directly.

"What are you doing?"

"Master Qin, although I have broken two fingers, I can still farm and do errands. You are a scholar, and you must have a lot of land in your family. If you need to work, please buy me. Work hard, just give me some food and help my family pay the head tax!"

Su Tiezhu said with a sob.

I heard that Qin Shao is a scholar, and he can still buy so much land, the conditions must be unusual.

After all, Su Tiezhu had done work outside, so he had some good eyesight.

"Since I begged Master Qin to pay the head tax of the whole family, Master Qin, if you want me to say, it's fine for our family to be slaves of Master Qin's family, as long as we have food to eat! Even though the old lady and our head of the family are old, The ability to farm, cook, cut grass and feed cattle and horses is still there.”

Mrs. Su understood what her son meant, and she also got up and knelt down.

Qin Shao quickly got up and helped him up.

"Master Qin, accept me too! We have a small family, and I can do any job! I can suffer any hardship!"

Su Shuanzi also knelt down.

When Qin Shao and the others cut down those gangsters, even though the boy was afraid, he was already extremely envious.

These two families seem to want to sell themselves to him!
If they are not familiar with each other, and because they just met because of difficulties, they feel that they are rich, so they morally kidnap themselves and buy them. Qin Shao is not a saint, so naturally he doesn't like it.

He knew the family fairly well, and he was a sincere person.

Knowing that he is a scholar and has good conditions, he prayed, and he is considered a sensible person.

Besides, he came to this salt land, and he really had one thing to do, it would be good to accept these people.

"Don't worry, I happen to have some work to do here! As long as you work hard, not to mention food and population tax, as long as you do well, everyone will be paid ICBC by then! But everything has to be done according to what I said Do."

Qin Shao said seriously.

"That's natural. In the future, we will become slaves of Master Qin's family, and naturally we will also be members of Master Qin's family. We will do what you say! You give us food and let our family stay together. Contentment."

Everyone hastily responded.

All of them looked delighted and immediately knelt down and kowtowed again.

This time, Qin Shao didn't help them, he just waited for them to kowtow and signaled Wang Yin to let them get up.

"I found a lot of kohlrabi stored in your cellar earlier, and many of them were broken. Why don't you pickle those kohlrabi? It should be able to be stored for a longer period of time."

Qin Shao asked.

He was very surprised, the well water in the village was salty brine, why didn't those kohlrabi be pickled.

And when she was cooking, Mrs. Su was also careful about using the well water to cook.

"My lord, don't dare. Previously, the kohlrabi here couldn't be kept, so we used that well water to pickle it. We thought it would be delicious to make pickles. Many people have pickled it, and we pickled it too. "

"I don't want to. Several families in the village ate it. At that time, they either had stomachaches or diarrhea, and some people were foaming at the mouth and passed away! Since then, no one dared to pickle vegetables anymore. Everyone said that the well water pickled vegetables It will produce poisonous gas, and people will die if they eat it.”

"Our family is fine. I thought about marinating it for a while before eating it, so I didn't eat it. Fortunately, my life was saved, but there are still a lot of kohlrabi, which is distressing."

"Don't talk about pickled vegetables. We don't dare to use too much well water to cook vegetables. We cook them only once every three to five days. A little salty taste is fine. One family uses that well water to cook vegetables every day. Not long after eating, seven members of the family died. Three, that well is mysterious!"

Mrs. Su explained.

"Master Qin, there were still more than a dozen families in the village before, because after the death, some of them sold themselves and moved away! Even if this place saves salt money, it will kill people. We also want to move out of here It's a hell, it's just that I'm old and incapable, so I can only endure it."

The old man Su added.

Hearing this, Wang Yin looked a little dignified and looked at Qin Shao.

At first, he thought it was a little confusing for his family to buy those lands, but he got used to trusting and worshiping his grandfather, so he naturally felt that everything he did was right.

But now I heard that the Su family said that people would die from drinking water here, and I don't think it's too good.

Qin Shao didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Yin's expression.

He was thinking about the salt water well.

He suspects that the heavy metals in the salt water are probably too much. If you eat too much, you will be easily poisoned, which is what they call a strange disease.

When Zhuge Liang entered Yunnan, some soldiers were poisoned after drinking the water in Yaquan. It is said that the heavy metal copper contained in the water exceeded the standard.

Qin Shao still remembers that they also took a related question during the junior high school exam:
When Zhuge Liang conquered southern Yunnan, the soldiers drank the water from the dumb spring and were about to die. The locals pointed the way and said that there was an Anle spring next to it. They drank it and wrapped it up. After drinking it, they were really good. They asked: What are the ingredients of the two springs? ?
Qin Shao still remembered that it was a multiple-choice question.

There is also some other information in the question stem. Finally, it is inferred that Yaquan is a copper sulfate solution, and Anlequan is a calcium hydroxide solution. Copper sulfate contains copper ions and is poisonous.

Anlequan contains hydroxide ions, which can react with copper ions to consume copper ions and form copper hydroxide, which also plays a role in detoxification.

When Qin Shao was doing this question, he had a doubt that the concentration of calcium hydroxide solution was very low even if it was saturated, with a pH of about 12.

With such a strong alkalinity, it is hard for me to imagine what it tastes like, and how soldiers drink it.

However, after all, it is a question of chemical knowledge, and naturally there are many loopholes.

One thing is certain, someone should have been poisoned by drinking water at that time.

Don't forget the ancient times, even in the period of the Republic of China, there were still people who got sick with barium in the salt water exceeding the standard.

It has not been many years for human beings to solve the big neck disease of salt and iodine deficiency.

As for the pickled vegetables, it should be due to improper pickling methods and high nitrite content that caused poisoning.

The symptoms of those people described by Mrs. Su are basically similar to the symptoms of nitrite poisoning.

He learned about this when he was in school. Nitrite is most likely to be produced when the concentration of brine is 5.00% and the temperature is about 37 degrees.

And the nitrite in pickled vegetables will increase in 2 to 4 days, and the concentration will reach the highest in 7 to 8 days. If you eat too much at this time, it is easy to cause poisoning.

It seemed he had to figure out a way.
