The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 172 Famous official
One greenhouse was empty, and the old tenants arranged for strong laborers.

Because the greenhouse is low and there are many supports, it is not possible to use donkeys, so people have to dig the ground.

Each shed has a steward.

small carrot.

Also called cherry radish, as long as there is enough fertility, you can harvest it in 20 days after planting.

You can eat radish, and you can also eat radish leaves.

At present, in Bianjing City, a plate of radish leaves costs one hundred cents. A plate of cherry radish soaked in sweet and sour food costs two hundred cents even if it is not carved.

The farmers in the Song Dynasty were still very smart.

Before the cherry radishes are transplanted from the nursery to the greenhouse, one person should sit in the greenhouse for a quarter of an hour without wearing anything, and then let others raise or lower the temperature in the greenhouse based on feeling.

Too high won't work, nor will it be too cold.

Therefore, people who control temperature by feeling enjoy superior food and treatment.

The only person with a higher salary than him is the farmer in the greenhouse.

The one in charge of planting.

After a busy day, Tian Laohui and his family moved into the house arranged for them.

In the house, there was only a small single-burner stove with warm water on it.

It was this small single-burner stove with limited temperature, but it made Tian Laohui's family feel extremely warm. When they were still tenants north of the Yellow River, they had to huddle together as a family to stay warm in winter.

Sometimes it snows, and the doors and windows are closed for many days in a row, and I only eat one meal a day.

Firewood is too expensive and I can’t afford it.

When it comes to cutting firewood, there is no place to cut it. The mountains and forests are all owned by owners. If you cut firewood without permission, you may be imprisoned.

The whole family sat around the stove.

The damper is closed. In this case, the charcoal in the furnace can be used until tomorrow morning, and another bowl of porridge can be cooked before adding more charcoal. No one is willing to open the damper at night and let the charcoal cakes burn like this.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

He is the steward of the village.

"Higher affairs."

"On the third watch, prepare meals and go out after eating. On the fourth watch, go to deliver food outside Bianjing City. Those who have the strength to take care of the food can receive one hundred wages. The boss promised to pay it from the village account. If you want to come, , just go to bed early and come to the north of the village at midnight."

"Come, come. There are three people in my family."

Tian Laohui was very happy for one hundred wages.

The steward of the village left three vests with words printed on the back, representing the tenants of Huangzhuang.

At midnight, the village takes care of the food.

Pickles, porridge, and mixed flour pancakes.

It is more than 40 miles from here to Bianjing City. Even if there is a donkey pulling the cart, someone will still need to push it if there is a slope, and loading and unloading the cart will also require manpower.

It takes more than two hours to walk this way. If the weather is bad, it will take three hours.

It's dawn, inside Bianjing City.

Tian Laohui followed a large car to a small alley, where a side door opened, and a man dressed as a servant was waiting here. It was obviously an agreement that had been made long ago.

The leader first opened the straw curtain on the car, then a layer of linen filled with straw, and then opened a layer of quilts.Only then did I see the food.

This is also because I am afraid that the vegetables will be frozen.

"This is a vegetable grown from roots. It's not as good as what's grown in a greenhouse, but it's still a fresh vegetable."

"Well, let's take it to the hospital."

When I was about to move, I heard someone shouting: "Slow down."

When the leader heard this, he trembled with fear.When I heard this voice, it was the voice of the father-in-law in the palace.

I saw a very young father-in-law walking over with a few people.

"Father, father-in-law..." The leader couldn't even finish his sentence.

Liang Zhong glanced at the car, and then said to the servant: "Call your master, my master is waiting here. We are from the Liang Mansion."

The servant hurriedly ran into the courtyard.

Liang Xin held the warmer with both hands and walked over slowly: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen without you."

"Yes, yes." The leader quickly stepped aside.

Soon, someone came out of the courtyard, Fan Zhengguo.

This is Fan Chunren’s home.

Liang Xin saluted first, and Fan Zhengguo returned the salute.

After both parties saluted, Liang Xin said: "What the hell, you are looking down on me, Liang Mansion. I have heard before that your father never follows the drinking rules when drinking, and the food is only five kinds of food. Your family's food is mostly coarse grains, and there is very little wine. No matter how you say it, it's true. Shang Shufu, you refused the vegetables given by the officials, but you bought these rotten vegetable leaves whose market price is less than [-]%?"

Fan Zhengguo looked upright: "My father has something to say first..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Liang Xin stopped Fan Zhengguo's tirade: "I have heard a poem. People who went to the city yesterday and came back with tears in their scarves and robes all over their bodies are not sericulture farmers. I will leave some for them. , I just think that even those who grow vegetables can’t eat them, which is such a sad thing.”

Fan Zhengguo: "My father taught us..."

"Forget it, I'll go talk to your father. Liang Zhong, pay for the meal."

Liang Zhong paid for the food, but the food was still moved to Fan's house.

The Fan family has a banquet today and has to entertain guests.

What I bought was the lettuce that had an inch of lettuce root left and regrown.There are also vegetables such as cabbage and radishes, which are mainly cheap.

Relatively serious greenhouse dishes are much cheaper.

Fan Zhengguo invited Liang Xin into the house, and Liang Zhong lectured with a dark face: "The Lord has left some food for you, and you take it all out and sell it. Where do you put the kindness of the Lord? You will never live a good life. Every one of them makes people worry.”

Although he was scolding, the eunuch beside Liang Zhong still paid for the dishes in full.

After scolding, Liang Zhong said again: "Tell your village chief to wait here for a reply. Go ahead."

"Yes Yes."

Let’s talk about the other side, inside Fan Chunren’s house.

Fan Chunren, who is in his 70s, really does not spare time, and he is already counting the days.

My physical condition is no longer what it used to be.

He almost never went to court meetings. He did not become an official because Liang Xin refused.

Because there is no one to replace him.

As soon as Liang Xin entered the house, Fan Chunren recited a poem to Liang Xin: There is no earth in front of the door, but there is no tile on the house.The ten fingers are not stained with mud, and the scales live in the building.

Liang Xin sat down: "That's right, they just want to save more money."

Liang Xin can understand this.

Before he traveled through time, those who built buildings were not necessarily those who lived in them.

Fan Chunren said: "This winter, your name, Liang Xin, will go down in history, with both bad and good names. Since that day, I have been stargazing every night. According to ancient theories, such a huge injustice case must have a red moon. When the moon is gone, Red. But in Bianjing City, all the people praise the official sage, because there is charcoal in the house, you run the imperial village, store countless melons and vegetables, and give rice, cabbage and cabbage to the lonely home."

"It's even more of a miracle that you built a glazed charcoal fire shed to provide fresh vegetables in winter."

Liang Xin said: "I went outside the house twice and was told that you are always sick and don't see guests. I want to see your old self, but I don't have to use any means, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you."

Fan Chunren replied: "I don't want to see you. You don't know who in Bianjing City. This is a huge injustice. Maybe a few people are guilty, but you have implicated the clan and their families, hundreds of people. If you add their housekeepers and servants, there are more than thousands." People. Officials, hum! What do officials know? He was just deceived by you."
