Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 208 Moon Bubble

The place name here is actually quite strange, it is obviously a lake, but it is called Paozi.In the entire area of ​​Zhendong County, there are no less than a hundred large and small bubbles, and it is a place with extremely rich water resources.

This moon bubble, called Yuerluo in the old saying, is on the right bank of the Nuoni River, belonging to the relic lake of the Nuoni River, with a large area of ​​about 20 mu.In Jinghan's previous life, this was a well-known freshwater fish breeding base in the province, and there are many agricultural and sideline products that are very famous in the province and even in China.

But in this world, Moon Pao is not taken seriously except that it is just a large lake.When Jinghan learned from Zixuan that the population here is not very large, and that fishing in winter is only reserved for the people in the village, Jinghan felt that it was simply too wasteful.

It was a coincidence that Jing Han had sent a letter to her family before, saying that she invited the two elder brothers from Uncle Sun's family to come over.The two sons of the Sun family have been selling goods back and forth through caravans all year round, and they have their own sales outlets in the northern region.Jinghan invited them over, of course, to ask them to help, to see what good things are here that can be shipped out and sold.

In addition, the first batch of wine from the distillery has already come out. Of course, Jing Han wanted their help to see where is the best place to buy this wine.After all, the journey is too far, and the cost will be high. It is best to go to some nearby states and counties.Jinghan didn't have these connections, so she had to entrust them to the two of them.

Zixuan and Jinghan entertained the two of them kindly, and took them to the wine shop to see the wine. Sun Jianye was quite interested in the wine.The key lies in the fact that Jing Han made this distillery use the technology of distilling liquor, and the liquor produced is a hundred times stronger than ordinary liquor.Now Jinghan has also figured it out, since she has the name of "Dragon Girl Reincarnation" as a cover, why bother to cover it up.Why don't you make good use of your advantages as a time-traveling woman and help your husband to create a good career.

For this kind of aromatic wine, the two brothers of the Sun family felt unlimited business opportunities.So the two sides, after a while of bargaining, determined the business model of sales sharing.It was the Sun family who helped Jinghan sell wine, and Jinghan paid a commission based on the sales volume.Of course, this commission is directly linked to the sales volume, the more you sell, the more the Sun brothers can share.In this way, for the Sun family brothers, there is no need to pay capital, which saves too much capital.For Jinghan, of course it can be sold for a good price.

Both parties are very satisfied with this cooperation model, and Zixuan has to host a banquet in honor of the Sun family brothers in the evening, so Jinghan can't be together, so she went back to pack her things by herself.If you want to watch winter fishing, you should prepare more warm things.

On the seventeenth day of the winter moon, Zixuan brought Jinghan along, some people in the yamen, and of course the two Sun brothers.We went to a small village near Moon Pao, which is called Moon Pao Village.This village is not small, there are about two to three hundred families. They have lived near Moon Pao for generations, farming and fishing for a living.

The head of the village is a man in his fifties, surnamed Tian, ​​who always has a smile on his face.Seeing so many people coming to the county government office, and the county magistrate brought his wife, the old village head hurriedly found a few clean houses in the village and arranged for everyone to live there.

In the evening, the village took out a lot of good things and made dinner for Zixuan and the others.Several elders in the village came to chat with Zixuan and the others.Jinghan learned from their conversation that at present, this place still mainly grows food.Each household raises one or two pigs, a few sheep, and some even raise two ducks.They are generally self-produced and sold, and rarely sold.

In addition, this winter fishing is only carried out once a year, and probably one net can produce tens of thousands of catties of fish.The people in the village shared the fish and kept it for the New Year.

"Old man, why can't everyone take the fish out and sell it?" Jinghan was a little surprised, don't the people here know how to manage it?
The old man was also surnamed Tian, ​​and he was the elder brother of the village chief. He shook his head, "Madam, how did you know that we didn't belong to the imperial court before, but were a territory of Beiyuan Kingdom, and it was also the place where Emperor Beiyuan came to hunt in spring. For Beiyuan We are not allowed to fish and sell the emperor's enjoyment. Although it returned to the imperial court, we still dare not change the rules that have been handed down over the years. Besides, even if we catch fish, where are we going to sell them? Woolen cloth?"

The old man began to tell everyone about the past here.It turned out that the emperor of the Northern Yuan Kingdom used to bring his civil and military officials and concubines to the Moon Bubble every year at the beginning of spring to dig ice on the ice for fishing.The emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was the first to fish in the ice, and used the head fish he caught to entertain his officials with a feast of head fish.The emperor and his ministers drank and had fun together, and carnivaled to their heart's content.

In addition, the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would personally release the Costin, catch swans, and set up a goose feast.The emperors and officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would live here until the lake was completely thawed and the grass grew and warblers flew everywhere.

After hearing this, Jing Han understood the reason.But what she was curious about was why Beiyuan Kingdom didn't come to snatch such an important place after being seized by the imperial court?
"Old man, now this place is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The imperial court wants to make people here rich, so they will help find a way. We came here this time, one is to see the magnificence of this winter catch, and the other is to know , Can we sell the fish we catch in winter? Old man, show us to have a good look at it tomorrow." Zixuan said beside him.

After hearing Zixuan's words, the village head became very ambitious, "I don't know, we are rich in carp, crucian carp, herring, grass carp, fat head and other fish. Especially fat head, the biggest one weighs twenty or thirty catties. That's really a good thing. It's a pity that we can only eat it ourselves, and we can't exchange it for money. If the adults really have a way, then we are blessed. To be honest, we also want to be rich at home. Some. Look at these children, they can only follow us to work in the fields for the rest of their lives, and we also want to send them to study. Not to mention that they have to be officials, at least they can know some words. Bar?"

Jinghan's heart felt sore. After arriving in Zhendong County, she found that there was not a single school in the entire county.There are many reasons for this, but apart from the fact that this place was once under the jurisdiction of the Beiyuan Kingdom, the other, I am afraid, is that this place is too poor, and there are no scholars who are willing to come here to run a school.Therefore, the economic base can determine the superstructure. Only when the common people live well can they notice the spiritual emptiness and pay attention to the development of education.

"Uncle Village Chief, we dare not say that we will build a school soon, because it will indeed require a lot of manpower and material resources. However, I will definitely find a way to make the people here live a better life. Wait for us With all the money in hand, you can build a school in the future and ask for a master, right?" Zixuan also felt a little uncomfortable, he is the parent of this county, and everything here is closely related to him.Maybe someone else came to be an official, but it's just a process, and how the people live is not within the scope of consideration, but I can't do it myself.He was born in a farming family, and he felt very sorry to see these farmers working hard but not living a good life.

"Hey, we are content with the words of the adults. We are not afraid of hardships or tiredness, we just want to make a good future for our children and grandchildren. We can do whatever the adults say. Speaking of the adults, we have already followed suit. A lot of it is gone. Just this year's tax, we can save a lot. The imperial court exempted us from tax, but we can't forget our roots. After these few years we live well, we still have to pay well Taxes. Otherwise, where did the imperial court get the money to support the army? Without the army, if the Beiyuan Kingdom comes to attack in the future, wouldn’t all our hard-earned money be lost?” The village head is a very sensible person , Zixuan was very moved by what he said.

Everyone chatted together, it was very lively.It was the first time for these people in the yamen to see parents and officials who could chat with the common people. Most of them were locals, so they naturally admired Zixuan's approach.During the conversation, everyone's feelings have also developed further.

From the mouths of these people, Zixuan also learned some local customs and customs, which will be very useful for governing this place in the future.

The night was getting dark, and the village chief hurriedly told everyone to go home, and they had to prepare for fishing early tomorrow morning.So everyone left one after another, and Zixuan sent them away with a smile.

After seeing off the people in the village, Zixuan let out a long sigh, and then said to Sun Jianye and his brothers, "Brother Sun, Brother Sun, I'm afraid I will trouble you two brothers about the matter here. Let's take a look at this How about the fish I caught, and then the two brothers will find a way to help me sell the fish. Please." Zixuan bowed to the Sun family brothers.

"Zixuan, what are you doing? We are relatives, so we are supposed to help. Besides, we brothers also want to make money in these matters. If you can think about us, we still need to make money. Thank you. This matter is on our brothers. Don't worry, we in the north have nothing to eat in winter. This fish should be able to sell well. Besides, the Chinese New Year is not far away. Whose family Don’t you want to get a few fish for Chinese New Year? Don’t worry.” Sun Jianye hurriedly returned the gift, and then said.

After talking for a while, everyone went to rest.Zixuan hugged Jinghan, and the two of them lay on the kang, "My lady, thank you very much, thank you for being willing to accompany me and come here to suffer. Thank you for being willing to think about me in every way and give me advice." Zixuan lightly Gently kissed Jing Han's forehead.

"Why are you thanking me or not? You and I are a husband and wife, so how can we talk about whether we can help or not?" Jinghan smiled.
