my brother champion

Chapter 94: The Granary of the World!Jingshi warehouse
Da Nong ordered Yan Yi's daughter to come to him?It should be because of Bai Diezi's affairs!
Besides.

Huo Guang couldn't think of any other reason.

Shaking his head, he looked at the servant girl who was talking to him in the general's mansion, and asked, "What about Yan Yuren?"

The servant girl replied: "She waited for a long time, but she left before waiting for you."

"okay, I get it."

Huo Guang nodded, then waved his hand to signal the maidservant to do her work.

Mrs. Wei next to him also heard the maidservant's report, so he said, "Who is it, old cousin, why are you here?"

Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and said half-jokingly: "It should be the daughter of Da Nong Ling. Your Majesty asked me to work with Da Nong Ling. She came to me probably to ask me to farm. Or, you can go for me tomorrow." a trip?"

Mrs. Wei shrank his neck immediately, and said, "Planting the land, just kidding, how can I do that, the majestic Marquis of Yichun! I won't go or go."

Huo Guang was only joking to tease him.

How can this matter really let him go.

Moreover.

It is also impossible to actually plant the land, but to discuss how to grow cotton.

Thinking that it was getting late now, there would be nothing to say about going to Yan Yi.If you want to go, you have to wait until tomorrow. There is something that cannot be said tomorrow.

then.

In this way, Huo Guang rested after washing.

There was no entertainment at night in the Western Han Dynasty, so as soon as Huo Guang fell asleep, it was dawn the next day.

I wanted to practice martial arts.

Unexpectedly.

Early in the morning, the servant girl came to call him, saying that Yan Yu, the daughter of Da Nong Ling's family, had come to find him.

Huo Guang felt a little strange, but he still went to see Da Nongling's daughter.

I saw that the other party was wearing very simple clothes, which did not look like the children of official families at all.

"You are Yan Yu, didn't you come to see me yesterday, why did you come again so early today?" After Huo Guang came over, he greeted Yan Yu.

talking room.

He looked at the other party secretly, it seemed that the other party was fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this age, it is already possible to perform the ceremony.

of course.

These are not important, what is important is that after seeing Yan Yu's figure, Huo Guang inexplicably remembered the words of Yuan Keli in the Ming Dynasty, "Benefits are only humble, and tolerance is the greatest".

Ok.

The last two words are more important.

Seeing Huo Guang talking, Yan Yu immediately said: "Father asked me to bring you over to discuss the matter of Bai Diezi. I didn't wait for Huo Yilang yesterday, so naturally I have to come here earlier today."

"Oh"

After Huo Guang paused, he said again: "Why don't you go back first, I will go to practice martial arts later, and after sweating, I will take a shower when I come back. Don't worry, I will visit Da Nong today ordered."

however.

Yan Yu shook her head and said: "Then I'll wait for Huo Yilang. If Huo Yilang doesn't want me to stay in the General's Mansion, I can wait outside the mansion."

"Uh, I don't mean that." Huo Guang frowned, then shrugged and said, "Then do whatever you want."

Is this Yan Yu afraid that she will run away?

Shake his head.

Huo Guang didn't care about her anymore, as usual, he practiced the six arts with his brother, and after sweating, he came back to take a bath.

After changing clothes.

When he came out, he found that Yan Yu was still waiting for him.

Seeing that Huo Guang had already changed his clothes, Yan Yu asked at this moment: "Is Huo Yilang not busy with anything now?"

Huo Guang sighed and said, "I have a lot of things to do. Of course, now I can go to Da Nong Ling with you to have a look."

Yan Yu nodded after hearing this, and said, "Then Huo Yilang, please come with me!"

"Walk?"

Huo Guang frowned and asked, "Is there no carriage?"

"No." Yan Yu said lightly: "It's not far away, hurry up, we'll be there soon."

go faster?
As soon as I heard it, I knew that the distance was not very close.

Huo Guang frowned, and said: "If you don't mind, please squeeze the carriage with me. The carriage of our General's Mansion is still very spacious inside."

Yan Yu heard it.

She blushed slightly, but nodded in agreement.

Subsequently.

The two squeezed into the same carriage.

At this time, Huo Guang asked: "Is there no carriage in Yan's residence? As the daughter of the Da Nong Ling, the young lady must have a carriage when she travels, right?"

Hear this.

Yan Yu said: "Father often speaks against His Majesty, so he is not favored by His Majesty like Huo Huoqi and the Great General. Although he is in Jiuqing, his family does not own a property, and it is normal not to have a carriage."

Not even a carriage!
Ok
Huo Guang frowned, this is another honest official.

Previously, he thought that a clean and honest official like Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, was already clean enough.

Unexpectedly.

There is also Yan Yi who is even more poor, good guy, official residence in Jiuqing, but the house doesn't even have a carriage.

Mr. Zhang's family is a little poor.

At any rate, there is still a carriage available for driving!

After that, Huo Guang didn't talk to Yan Yu again.Until the carriage left the city, it came to a place where a large number of officers and soldiers were stationed.

"This is the Jingshi warehouse?" Huo Guang frowned slightly as he looked at the destination where the carriage arrived.

Warehouses store grain.

The so-called Jingshi warehouse is the place where Chang'an City stores grain.

Simultaneously.

It is also the largest grain processing place in Chang'an City, with many mills that can grind rice into rice.

Because this is the warehouse of the capital, there are a large number of soldiers guarding the warehouse, so you can hear the sound of plain drums similar to folk art here.

And because the chant of the transport ship can be heard here, it is possible to hear the similar sound of the old tune opera unique to later generations.

Huo Guang didn't expect it.

This Yan Yi actually called him to this place.

But yes.

Although cotton seeds are not food, it is normal for such an important thing to be kept in the granary.

Huo Guang and Yan Yu got out of the carriage and were let in after being interrogated by the guards.

now.

Da Nong Ling Yan Yi is leading his subordinate officials to manage the food issue.

Yan Yu stepped forward and said, "Father, Huo Yilang is here."

"En." Yan Yi nodded, then looked at Huo Guang, and said with a serious smile: "Huo Yilang, please wait a moment, my colleagues and I still need to deal with the food accumulation problem first."

"Okay." Huo Guang arched his hands.

The big farmer orders the finance and economy of the world, manages the allocation of warehouses and farms, and at the same time advises farmers and mulberry farmers.

Emperor Wu period.

He still needs to deal with the affairs of the Yantie official camp, which is really a busy person.

and!

Liu Che frantically accumulated grain for the decisive battle with the Xiongnu Shanyu in the coming year. This result undoubtedly increased the workload of the granary.

Maybe it's because Yan Yi's temperament is too straightforward.

The people under his command did not do well, which caused Da Nongling to get angry, and directly yelled at the subordinates under his opponent: "I really don't know what the imperial court is raising you guys for, and you don't know how to innovate. Open a door at the front and back of the granary. "

"The front door puts the new grain in, and the back door is responsible for taking out the old grain."

"Wouldn't it be possible to prevent the food from being moldy and wasted!"

then.

Under Yan Yi's criticism, the subordinate officials began to urge the officials and craftsmen to change the entrance and exit of the granary.

Time flies by.

Jingshicang was very busy with work, so Yan Yi took the time to come out and said to Huo Guang, "Sorry for keeping Huo Yilang waiting for so long."

"Not long, not long!" Huo Guang smiled slightly, and asked, "Da Nong Ling, this capital warehouse is quite big, so it's not easy to manage it?"

"This is just a small granary in Chang'an, not too big. The Ao granary in Xingyang is really big!" Yan Yi said.

Ao Cang in Xingyang is a transfer station for the world's grain, and it has been like this since the pre-Qin period.

Later, it was rebuilt and expanded in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was even more advanced in scale.Although the Jingshi warehouse in front of me is not small, it is incomparable with the Ao warehouse in Xingyang.

Huo Guang nodded, not wanting to talk nonsense about this.

then!

Then he said straight to the point: "You must have come to me because of Bai Diezi's affairs, right? How should I say it?"

Only then did Yan Yi reply: "Huo Yilang, please follow me."

immediately.

Huo Guang was taken out of the Jingshi warehouse to a nearby farmland.

At this time, people are living mud in an orderly manner.

"Huo Yilang, do you see how these people look like, does it match the mold you said in the court that day?" Yan Yi asked.

The mold is pinched by hand?
Forehead.
Huo Guang didn't expect this. The wisdom of the ancients doesn't seem to be so good.

immediately.

He shook his head and said, "Da Nong Ling, why do you need to make this mold by hand? You just cut a piece of bamboo, insert it into the fresh mud, and pour it out, it will be a mold."

"The making of the mold is not critical."

"The key is that it is very important for the planting and soil selection of the day after tomorrow."

When Yan Yi heard this, he suddenly understood.

Immediately clapped his hands and said: "Hey, I'm so busy and confused, Huo Yilang is right."

immediately.

Yan Yi then called someone to cut a few knots of bamboo, and made the mold according to the method Huo Guang said, and the work effect was significantly improved in a short while.

of course.

As Huo Guang said, the making of these molds is not important.

The most important thing is the later cultivation and the selection of mold soil. Huo Guang looked at the live mud and asked, "Da Nong Ling, did these soils come from the Western Regions?"

Da Nongling shook his head and said, "How can the soil from the Western Regions be transported so quickly?"

"These!"

"They are all selected from the fertile farmland near Chang'an."

Huo Guang nodded immediately after hearing the words.

Behind.

He also told some things about cultivating fine cotton seedlings.

After some discussion, Huo Guang was about to leave.

After walking out of the capital warehouse.

Da Nongling suddenly mentioned Zhang Tang, and asked, "Huo Yilang, I heard that you have a great relationship with Doctor Yushi? However, I still advise you not to make friends with such treacherous ministers."

Huo Guang frowned and said, "Why did the Da Nong Order say that?"

Yan Yi laughed and said, "Everyone in the court said that Huo Yilang and Doctor Yushi belonged to the same school."

Huo Guang shook his head and said, "I'm a little Yilang, does it matter if I belong to the same school or not?"

Yan Yi said, "Of course you are not important. What is important is your brother, General Hussars, and the great general Wei Qing behind you. They are the most important."

Actually this.

Huo Guang had already thought of it.

It's just that he didn't bother to explain, and said lightly: "Have Da Nong Ling been to Zhang Tang's house?"

"I have a personality disagreement with him and have never been there."

Yan Yi didn't hide it, and directly expressed his dislike for Zhang Tang, the official censor.

At this time.

Huo Guang heard Da Nong Ling's answer, and immediately said: "No wonder you belittle Mr. Zhang like this. I have been to Mr. Zhang's house. Although he is in the third rank, he did not enclose land and buy property. He only supported his family with his salary and rewards from His Majesty." .”

"It can be said!"

"Mr. Zhang is one of the rare honest officials."

Zhang Tang has been clean and honest, so Yan Yi is fine?He, a senior official of Jiuqing, is living in a very difficult situation, right?

Only in terms of integrity.

Zhang Tang and Yan Yi are essentially clean officials.

pity!

The two sides dislike each other.

So when Huo Guang praised Zhang Tang, Yan Yi replied directly: "An honest official is not necessarily a good official, Huo Yilang!"

"A few years ago, the imperial censor seized the power of the prime minister, so that all major affairs of the country were listened to his opinion."

"However, I don't know how to pretend to know, and the people are living in dire straits."

"What he often talks about is not to follow the will of the emperor? But if a good official only cares about the will of the emperor and ignores the common people in the world, he doesn't care about the common people."

"Such an honest official, Huo Yilang, do you think he is still a good official?"

Listening to Yan Yi's eloquent talk.

Huo Guang didn't know how to refute for a while, but for some reason, he felt that Yan Yi gave him the feeling, very similar to the great Ming Yu Qian in later film and television works.

Can think of here.

Huo Guang suddenly smiled again.

I have only heard that a son is like a father, but how can anyone say that a father is like a son.

If you want to look like it, it should be Yu Shaobao who looks like Yan Yi.

Yan Yi didn't know what Huo Guang was thinking, seeing him laughing suddenly, he didn't understand, so he asked, "Why is Huo Yilang laughing? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Huo Guang said: "No, no, I just thought about it, Da Nong ordered me to worry too much."

"I have nothing to do with Mr. Zhang."

"Others think that I and Mr. Zhang are on the same side. That may be because of the case of Prince Zhao Liu Dan last time. After all, I can't represent my brother, let alone the general."

"All right."

"Da Nongling, I should go back. You are busy, and I will not be idle. In the future, Bai Dizizi will have something else to do, and I will come to advise you again."

The words fall.

He got into his carriage and returned to Chang'an City.

Instead of going back to the General's Mansion, he went to the Le Restaurant here.Let the cooking room cut the pasta into shreds and cook it in a pot like noodles.

At this moment.

There was no such thing as noodles in the Han Dynasty.

There are such steamed noodles, but according to the name of the Han Dynasty, this should be called soup cake.

When the shredded pasta is cooked, people will pick it up and put it in a frying pan for frying.

until golden brown.

Only then did people pick it up, so the homemade crispy noodles became.It's just that in terms of color, it is far from the crispy noodles sold in the small shop in the previous life.

Huo Guang frowned slightly, wondering if he should add something to the flour?
It seems that there is still a lack of technology and hard work.

Not good in color.

Huo Guang tried to see how it tasted, took a bite, and found it to be quite good.With a little pre-prepared sauce, the taste is even more delicious.

"With the crispy noodles, the next step is packaging and cards."

"Although there is no plastic bag, clean paper can be used instead. It's just what should I use for the card, it can't be Water Margin or Three Kingdoms, right?"

"Those were later things."

"correct."

"You can use famous generals from the Warring States Period, such as Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Li Mu, Lian Po, etc., and then you can use this set of cards to play Warring States Killing or something."
