Chapter 151 The Cow Flies in the Sky

After discussing for a long time, Li Da hesitated: "It's just that this warm shed is good, but it's not difficult after all. The villain is afraid that next year, our Zhuangzi Dongcai will have no advantage."

It's not that Qin Zhao hasn't thought about this problem. It's really not difficult to build a greenhouse.What is needed is fine white gauze, tung oil, bamboo stalks, etc. You don’t need to think too much about it. Once the out-of-season vegetables in this village are on the market, someone will be able to find out how these vegetables are grown. In a few years, there will be some greenhouses on all the farms.And Chang'an, even the people of David, no longer have to worry about the lack of vegetables in winter.

But what is this?If you are ahead of others in everything, you already have an advantage. It is never possible for one person to earn all the money in the world.Even after the sweet potatoes and pumpkins are planted in her own farm, in a year or two, when the time is right, she will promote them.After all, improving the lives of the common people is her ultimate goal in doing these things.She loves money, but she has to do something not just for money when she is alive.Who can live without ideals?
"Guan Li is right to be worried, but it is unavoidable. As long as others are willing to inquire, they can always inquire. So this year is a time when we make a lot of money. We need to hurry up on the greenhouse. Restrain the village people, try not to leak things about the greenhouse. After the next spring, Manager Li will not have to worry about it. If someone inquires, just let them come and see. I have reserved one or two hundred acres of land for planting. Things are bound to set off waves in the entire Kingdom of David. By then, those crop seeds will be enough for us to make a lot of money. I am afraid that Li Guanshi will not take the harvest of this greenhouse in his eyes What's more. Besides, there is farming. If possible, we will build a dried meat workshop in our village. With these stable incomes, what else is there to worry about? I need to build this small farm into the entire city of Chang'an The richest farm. Li Guanshi is looking forward to it."

A little girl who speaks so boldly, and so boldly.Li Da didn't know whether to laugh or worry.However, what Qin Zhao said is indeed reliable. Although he may not believe the words of the richest farm in Chang'an City, if everything can be done, the life of the people in the village is rich. expected.

Li Da wiped off his sweat and smiled sarcastically: "It's the villain who is short-sighted."

After finishing talking, Li Da left, and Mrs. Pond came to lead Qin Zhao to rest in the backyard, and sent Qin Zhao into the house. Mrs. Pond and Yun Shang went to prepare hot water for her to wash.Seeing that only Yunyi and Xiaoqiu were in the room, Qin Zhao asked, "Where is your sister Zisu?"

Yun Yi helped her untie the fur coat she was wearing, and replied: "Sister Zisu is afraid that the princess will not be used to the food in the country, so she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the princess, and left the slaves here to serve the county. host."

Qin Zhao nodded. Although she loves food, she is not a particular person. It is only two or three days, so why not pass it?When she was in Zhujiazhuang, it was not like she didn't experience the days of rough tea and light meals.It's just that a few girls are caring, so she can only boast with a smile.

After delivering the tea, Mrs. Pond went out to do chores.

After Qin Zhao washed up and changed into the clothes at home, Fang pulled the ball to talk: "But you like this place?"

Xiaoqiu pouted: "Sister Ayi doesn't take Xiaoqiu out to play, and Xiaoqiu won't see Daddy either."

"Tomorrow, I will ask your sister Ayi to take you out," Qin Zhao coaxed with a smile, "Didn't Xiaoqiu want to be a little shepherd boy? Tomorrow, I will send someone to find a cow and let you ride it for fun. ?”

"Really?" Xiaoqiu was overjoyed. She was very envious when she saw the little boy riding on the back of a bull during the day.

"When did I lie to you?"

The two were talking unnutritious words, Yun Yi and Yun Xiang beside him just laughed.

From time to time, Zisu came into the house to salute, and asked: "The dinner is ready, is it here, or?"

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "Put it outside in the reception hall, and call the left guard to eat with me."

Zisu knew about Shan Xiaoying before, but in the Luojia Zhuangzi, she didn't see how special the princess treated him. How come since Shan Xiaoying came to the palace, the princess treated him very differently?Not only did he arrange for him to live downstairs in the main building, but this time Shan Xiaoying even let Shan Xiaoying eat with her.Yun Yi and Yun Xiang were even more ignorant.The three of them looked at each other, and Zisu agreed.

Because it was cold outside and there were few charcoal fires in the hall, Yun Yi still waited on Qin Zhao to put on a padded coat and a cloak before sending her to the front hall.

When they arrived at the small hall, Shan Xiaoying was already sitting there, and when he saw Qin Zhao enter the room, he stood up.

Qin Zhao waved Yun Yi and the others to step back, and the two sat down with a smile. Shan Xiaoying smiled and said, "Why did you remember calling me?"

"There are not many times when I eat at the same table with my cousin," Qin Zhao said with a smile. We can both have better appetites during meals, so why not do it?"

Shan Xiaoying rolled his eyes.

Qin Zhao really simply wanted to have a meal with him. After all, his identity is now a guard. In a place like the palace, no matter how out of the ordinary she is, as a princess, she cannot have dinner at the same table with a guard in the mansion.Here, however, no one was watching, and Zisu and the others would not say anything about what she did.

Shan Xiaoying originally thought she had something to say, but she didn't expect that this girl was really just eating.

After dinner, Shan Xiaoying said: "Why don't we go out and make gestures?"

Although the cooking skills of perilla are not so good, the old duck soup is delicious, the pickled side dishes on the farm are crunchy, the egg and goat milk cakes are soft and tender, the thick millet porridge is very fragrant and thick, and the deep-fried steamed slices are delicious. It was crispy and delicious, and the stomachs of both of them were round.Qin Zhao rubbed his belly and said with a smile: "I practice martial arts for fitness and self-protection, so I don't need to work hard. I'd rather lie on the bed comfortably now. If my cousin wants to teach me how to do it, how about How about we find an open space to fight in the early morning tomorrow?"

Shan Xiaoying looked at her weary look of stroking her belly to digest food, and scolded with a smile: "Usually, in front of people, she still has the appearance of a princess, but behind her back, how can she still look halfway? Why isn't she like this in front of Uncle Luo? Most of all, she is a girl who can pretend and lie."

"In Chang'an City, it's just like this in front of my cousin." Qin Zhao smiled, and then thought of Bajie.Although she was close to Ah Tie and the others in the past, but she was such a rascal, but she could only let it go in front of Bajie, so she couldn't help but sigh.Just looking forward to seeing them next year.

Seeing her sigh, Shan Xiaoying asked: "Is there anything unhappy about Ah Zhao? If so, tell me."

Qin Zhao shook his head: "What else can I be unhappy about? I just think of the friends I played with when I was young. I don't know when I will see you again. There was a friend in the past. We all called him Bajie. He was a fat and silly boy. He is very close to me. My adoptive parents treat me very well, but they also teach me strictly. I am a loose person, and I can only be like this in front of him. Cousin... makes me feel new. Just like in Bajie. It’s normal in front of the goods, but it reminds me of them.”

Shan Xiaoying also felt sour when he said it, but he didn't have anyone he cared about so much.But in this world, even if you are a thousand nobles, if you can't do what you want to do, it will be a waste of life.He said: "Since I thought about it, how about going back and taking a look?"

Qin Zhao smiled.

There is nothing in the world that you can do if you want to do it.People are alive, there are always some last resorts.

She is the princess of Fuling, the niece of King Side by Side, the daughter of Qin Huaiyong, and the sister of Jiedushi of the Three Armies of Beiting.There are some things she is destined not to do.

How can it be understood by Shan Xiaoying, who is free, unfettered, and can be proud of the world with a long sword?

The two made an appointment to practice martial arts together at four o'clock the next day, and they separated.

The next day Qin Zhao got up early as scheduled, practiced a hundred moves with Shan Xiaoying, and stopped sweating.Shan Xiaoying said: "I didn't expect you to be quite skilled. The Luo family's marksmanship really lives up to its reputation."

Qin Zhao then asked: "Then my cousin thinks, if I walk the rivers and lakes with my skill, how good can I be considered?"

Shan Xiaoying raised his eyebrows, and sneered: "If you are among the noble disciples in Shangjing, there are not many who can beat you, but if you are really put in the rivers and lakes, even the third-rate will not be able to beat you." ?”

Damn, do you want to hit people like this?Qin Zhao curled his lips: "How good is that cousin?"

Shan Xiaoying said proudly: "Am I talking about it? The top. The Kingdom of David can beat me," said, shaking his index finger twice, "I guess there is really no one? It's Uncle Luo, I'm afraid It can only be tied with me."

Grandpa Luo is almost 70 years old, so you are ashamed to compare.Qin Zhao was speechless looking at the sky, and then he was silent for a moment before pointing to the sky, and said to Shan Xiaoying: "Cousin, look, cows are flying in the sky."

"Nonsense, cows can still fly in the sky?"

"Why can't cows fly in the sky? It's just bragging."

Shan Xiaoying: ...

After eating breakfast with Shan Xiaoying, Qin Zhao went back to the house and changed his clothes when he went out, and then Li Da sent someone to invite him to the front yard to discuss matters.

The group walked around the farm for half a day. Qin Zhao chose [-] mu of land near the water, and divided it into those for rice planting, greenhouses, and those for planting sweet potatoes and pumpkins in the next spring. The request, as well as the request for composting the sweet potato and pumpkin fields, the group returned to the manor.

After eating breakfast, Qin Zhao was worried, so she went to the field, watched the farmer prepare the land, and gave guidance until she felt that there was no problem, then returned to the courtyard, and on the third day took the small ball to the village. After playing for a day, on the fourth day early in the morning, I went back home.

Chunyuyu had recuperated for two days, and the fever had subsided. Qin Zhao was busy for two days and didn't go to see her until before he left. I can also hold on.In addition, Li Da and Pond's youngest daughter, Lan Niang, returned to Beijing together.Lan Niang was born with a delicate personality and a very gentle temper, and she was really good at cooking. Zisu liked it very much, and she told Qin Zhao that Qin Zhaoyuan wanted to give Li Da some favors, so naturally she accepted Lan Niang into the mansion.And after looking at this girl, I also think it's good.

Seeing that their daughter was able to enter the palace, Li Da and Mrs. Pang couldn't be more grateful. Mrs. Pang also knew that Zisu had said good things, and the Princess only needed to thank her for her kindness.As long as she is the princess's personal maid, what's the difference?Pond was worried all night about what to give, Lan Niang persuaded: "If you don't give it, it will look rude to us, but mother don't have to worry about this, although my daughter's needlework is not outstanding, she is not bad. Didn’t my daughter embroider a few cloaks these days? Sister Zisu is kind and amiable, and she likes pink very much. The shawl is covered with cherry blossoms, and it looks very suitable for Sister Zisu. Sister Zisu will also be happy when she sees her. Since I have given Sister Zisu, it’s not good if others don’t. My daughter heard that besides Sister Yunxiang and Sister Yunyi, the Princess is serving her personally, and there is also a person named Yunshang. My daughter I also inquired about her character and personality, and she is easy to get along with. I gave Sister Zisu a cloak, and it would be bad for the others to see her off. It would be better to choose the other cloaks and give one to each of them. gone."

"Here," Mrs. Pond is usually a very thoughtful person, but she is hesitant when it comes to her daughter. "Those girls are all from the palace. I haven't seen any good ones before? I only give you a silk. Is the ceremony too light?"

The 13-year-old Lan Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Mother, don't think too much, you also said that they were served by the Princess personally, and they grew up in the palace. What good things have you never seen before? Where can we get them?" What can catch their eyes? It’s better to make it with your own hands, and it will be more liked by them.”

Pond thought for a moment, isn't that the truth?
After returning to the palace, Lan Niang settled down, and then took the shawls and gave them one by one, everyone was happy, although the shawls were not expensive, but the embroidery on them was very unique, who doesn't love beauty in the young lady's family?All happily accepted.

Qin Zhao was busy, so Li Huaida stayed at the farm, and she took Mochiyue and Suyue to the farm, and asked Qin He to buy enough fine white gauze and the best tung oil for him. , Let Li Huaida make enough tarpaulins for [-] acres of greenhouses in the shortest time.

Twenty mu of land is not much, but the oilcloth needed for a greenhouse is quite a lot.Apart from Li Huaida, the only ones who can help are his two apprentices and Mochiyue and Suyue.I had no choice but to build a warm shed while making oilcloth, and after I set up a shed, I planted a shed of vegetables.So busy until the new year, just put up the greenhouse on the [-] mu of land, and planted all kinds of vegetables.And the few sheds that have been set up early, the ones planted with spinach, small cabbage, and radish can already be harvested.In the rest of the greenhouse, apart from these things, there are courgettes, soybeans and other fruits and vegetables that can be found, all of which are planted.

This is a later story, not to mention.He only said that Qin Zhao went back to the palace, arranged these things, then found an excuse to go out, and together with Qin He, went to find A Shu.

Ah Shu, who had already lived in Xinchangfang north of Qinglong Temple in Yanxingmen, was very surprised when he heard Qin Zhao's visit.He hurriedly greeted him out.These days, he was very familiar with Qin He. After two visits, Ah Shu invited him into the study, and because he was afraid that Qin Zhao would have something to say, he asked the maid who served the tea to retreat: "The princess comes here in person. , but I have something to order."

"There are no outsiders here, and Ah Shu doesn't need to be born. But I do have something to look for you. Do you know what plans Ah Tie has for your business in the capital?"

Ah Shu replied: "I do know that now our Zhaohua Trading Company in Liangzhou is running pretty well, and we are very familiar with David's caravans in the Western Regions, and we have our own stable supply of goods. Instead of being a middleman all the time , it’s better to do it ourselves, and besides, we can’t afford to form a caravan now. What the shopkeeper means is that the goods from the Western Regions we collected in Anxi and Liangzhou will be sent to Chang’an with our own caravan. Although we build a north-south Caravan, it’s a little troublesome, but we didn’t have a store in Chang’an before, so we can save trouble, but now we have a store, but it’s hard to entrust the goods to other caravans.”

If it is handed over to other caravans, and our own shop goes to other stores to buy goods, firstly, we will not have an advantage in price, and secondly, some scarce sources of goods will flow out, and we will lose our advantage. Make preparations for entering Chang'an City, otherwise the original dried meat business will be enough.

But Qin Zhao came to Ashu this time because of this matter.He said: "You just entered Chang'an, and the work you do is too complicated. You may not be able to take care of it. Even if you can do it well, it will require considerable time and energy. I have thought about it these days. Zhouzhou and Anxi. Originally occupying a favorable location and people, now that there is a good time, Zhaohua’s original business can be let go. Anxi is most famous for fine white stacks and inexplicable grape wines. Why should we look far away? Let’s organize The caravan does not need to deal in other goods. From Anxi to Chang'an, it only transports fine white cloth and wine. And from Chang'an to Liangzhou in Anxi, I have already thought about what to do. If the meat is raw, if we say It is David’s first family, and no one dares to say that it is second. It’s just that they used to make dried beef, but it’s rare for Chang’an City to want to eat beef. Then, in the name of the dried meat workshop, we cooperated with Zhaohua Trading Company, and Zhaohua merchants Caravans on the way, transporting Ancheng to Ancheng. Your shops in Chang’an are engaged in the business of fine white cloth, wine, and dried beef. In addition, there is another business to do. Pork. When the caravan returns, you can bring Chang’an The dried pork produced will be shipped back to Liangzhou and Anxi."

Ordinarily, Ah Shu is just the shopkeeper of a shop, how to manage the business is decided by Qin Zhao, Ah Tie, Balang and others, it is really not his turn to speak, just thinking about Zhaohua's current achievements, or say "Zhaohua merchant The line has already taken root in Anxi, and now the Western Region and Chang'an caravans that are entrusted by Zhaohua Trading Company are also some well-known caravans. It has already opened up the situation, so it is a pity to give up here. The princess may wish to reconsider consider."

Hearing what he said, Qin Zhao said with a smile: "This is not contradictory to what I said. Zhaohua can be divided into two departments, one is dedicated to the business I just mentioned, and the other is just doing the previous consignment business. .It just depends on whether Ah Shu has any capable people in his hands."

Ah Shu said with a smile: "It would be good if this is the case. It's just that the manpower is a little tight. It's okay to say that the caravan has not yet found a suitable person to take charge. The most worrying thing for the big shopkeeper is the caravan's management." candidate."

When Qin Zhao heard this, his heart moved.

Shan Xiaoying, isn't he just right?Just before that, she also said that she wanted Shan Xiaoying to help her manage the business.At that time, he just couldn't bear Shan Xiaoying's condescension to be her bodyguard, and he didn't want him to really leave the rivers and lakes, but it was difficult to see him again.After all, he is the only relative of her matrilineal family. No matter what, the blood relationship cannot be broken. Even if she is not true, she still cherishes such family affection very much.What's more, Shan Xiaoying's appearance was also for her.
