Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 1170: Night Street (1)
Nanny Yu looked around, but there was not even a place to sit. She ran around and was exhausted, so she sat down on a slightly shady haystack and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, "Miss, they are from Pingyang The housekeeper of a large family in the city heard that we are harvesting here, so he came here to order grain and rice in advance."

Qingli once had an idea before, to use the production of new grains as a tribute, and also used it as a gimmick to publicize it. It is conceivable that those wealthy masters like to follow suit and send people over early inquire about.Especially this year, the Northland has reduced production, and the quality of the production is definitely not high.

In fact, the reduction in production in the Northland is not a bad thing for Qingli, at least the price of their own grain can be greatly increased, and some people are thinking about buying grain. The new grain is so high-yielding, and they are planning.

The grain seeds will definitely not be sold next year. Qingli still wants to monopolize it for a while, at least she has to earn enough money to promote it, not just in the North, but in the whole Dazhou, so she is going to write a letter to Yelu Chuyang A letter, talking about new crops.

Speaking of Yelu Chuyang, Qingli thought of Jiang Guifei's words before her death. Although she didn't quite believe the words, Yelu Chuyang was not of royal blood. How could this be possible?For this reason, she asked Chunyu Wen that night, but Chunyu Wen was noncommittal.

This theory has always been popular in the palace. Back then, Empress Dowager Jiang and Concubine Jiang jointly killed the first and second princes, and they also kept suppressing the fourth prince, Yelu Chuyang. This rumor spread at that time, and because of this, the three became tigers. Emperor Hongde was furious when he heard the rumors, and killed many court ladies and eunuchs, but at the same time, seeds of suspicion were planted in his heart, which was one of the reasons why he always disliked Yelu Chuyang.

As for the specific situation back then, Yinwei had not inquired about it, but was hindered in various aspects.Qingli thinks that it is unlikely that it is not from the royal blood. After all, Gui Luocha is the mysterious power of the Yelu family, and he will definitely not find an outsider to inherit the throne.

"It's also possible to make a reservation, but the price is relatively high, and some of them have to be sent to Kyoto to be dedicated to the emperor."

Qingli nodded. Just let Steward Feng discuss such trivial business matters. That person is honest and responsible, practical, reliable, and has certain abilities.

These rich families care about face, as long as they can eat the same rice as the emperor, it is a great honor, and they can go out and brag in the future, so these housekeepers heard that the price can also be within the acceptable range, so they made an appointment immediately.

Qingli's purchase limit here will not exceed one hundred catties. She plans to sell dozens of copies. After a period of time, the price will be raised once, and the rest will be transported to a part of the capital. For sale in the shop.

The money left by Mr. Chen was taken by Qingli to make a deal with the Bliss Villa. Food, grass and medicinal materials will not be too scarce for the time being.Due to the more than one year of fighting, the number of troops in the north of the city is decreasing, and Dazhou has occupied Sishui City, so it needs more manpower. According to Chunyu, an announcement will be made in the next few days to recruit troops in the north.

In the past, the common people avoided conscription, but now it is better, because being a soldier is something the whole village can only be proud of. During the New Year and holidays, there will be a warming team to visit. The food in the camp in the north of the city is good, and the military salary is not deducted. Give it enough, after retiring from the army, you can easily marry a wife.

There are also requirements for conscription. Young and middle-aged men between the ages of 13 and 25 need to have offspring to inherit the incense in their families. They are not only children. In the past, generals would look for them one by one. Some people signed up, and thousands of people were recruited before the conscription campaign even started.

As the sky gradually darkened, these tenants still had no intention of stopping, always thinking about harvesting more.Here, Qingli has already asked the chefs and maids in the village to help them prepare a rich dinner, including fish and meat, and put them in the fields, waiting for them to come and queue up to receive the meal after they finish work.

The autumn harvest has been arranged like this recently. Qingli has already greeted the servants at home. It is necessary to replenish the physical strength of these busy tenants. In addition to the two meals a day, prepare more mint to relieve the heat Herbal tea also has steamed buns to satisfy hunger. Eating steamed buns dry is too choking. Put some pickles in it, mix with potato shreds, etc. It is simple and easy to make, and the taste is much better than eating steamed buns alone.

The sky was getting dark, the sun was setting, and a red sunset glow dyed the sky red.Qing Li took Madam Yu and Mai Ya to the small hill not far away for a bird's-eye view. The fields were golden, and when the autumn wind came, the endless rice fields were like the waves of the sea, and the heavy ears of rice fluctuated rhythmically.

In the field, the tenants were finishing the work, and when they learned that Qingli had arranged for people to prepare dinner for the evening, all of them had simple smiles on their faces and worked even harder. Qingli enjoyed the satisfaction of ordinary people.

The field is full of the aroma of rice, which makes people open their hearts. Occasionally, there are a few crisp laughter of a baby, and even Nanny Yu, who always likes to keep a straight face, is infected with a good mood and smiles all the time.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Qing Li stood there with her hands behind her back for a while, until the last bit of the sun's halo had disappeared into the sky.It would take nearly an hour at the earliest to return to the mansion from the village. She just came to stare at it on the first day of the harvest, and she would not come tomorrow.

"Miss, you haven't had dinner yet."

The three masters and servants stayed in the field for a whole day. During this period, they only ate a few snacks in the carriage to satisfy their hunger. It was dark in a flash. After a few sounds, she almost forgot about eating.

"Yes, how about we go to Surabaya for dinner?"

Qingli had a sudden idea.Dazhou has now completely occupied the Sishui Pass, and the city gates outside the Pingyang City Pass are open according to the time period, and the people can freely enter and exit, and trade with the merchants inside the Sishui Pass.

Da Zhou captured the Sishui Pass and ran away some people from Daqin. Some poor families stayed behind. They didn’t care much about who was in charge of the Sishui Pass. After all, what the poor had to worry about was whether they could have enough to eat.

The military discipline of the army in the north of the city is good. As long as the people of Daqin do not take the initiative to provoke troubles, their own side will not take the initiative to provoke conflicts, and killing, burning, and looting is even more common. Surabaya City has been very comfortable these days. In exchange, the living conditions improved a little.

"Surabaya Customs? Miss, you mean to leave the customs?"

Nanny Yu was puzzled, she was taken aback at first, she rubbed her hands, a little shaken, Sishui Pass was Daqin's territory before, she never went there once, only sent a letter out of Pingyang City once, when Qingli was captured Yu Wenkun was kidnapped, she hurriedly saw only Tianxianhe, and Nanny Yu had a strong curiosity about the city of Daqin.

"Miss, what do the people of Daqin eat, just like us? Do they eat rice and meat?"
