Spring and Autumn I Am King

Thanks to the book friend Xiaoyun and Liu Yang for the reward!

……

Jia Ji was the youngest son of the patriarch of the Jia clan in Chengxiang. He joined the light knight and became the corporal leader. Zhao Wuxi saw that he was quick and sharp, so he arranged for him to join Zigong's caravan. One is to be an overseer, and when something happens, he can give advice, and second, he can learn something, walk among the nations, and gain insights that can be of great use in the future.

Seeing him coming, Zhao Wuxi naturally knew what was going on, so he leaned on the rail of the car and asked with concern, "How much has Zigong profited in the millet market from yesterday to today?"

Jia Ji's face was full of joy, and he panted and replied: "Gentleman, within two days, we got a total of more than 2,000 stone corn. Duanmu merchants have already calculated that if everything goes well, they will be able to sell 1,000 in a month. Five hundred shi of wheat flour, more than 40,000 shi of corn!"

40,000 stones of corn, Jiaji has never seen so much grain before, it has to be transported back and forth ten times with 40 double oxen carriages before it can be transported away!

Even Zhao Wuxi was stunned by this number. You must know that there are nearly 400 households in the township, with a total of more than 30,000 mu of land. According to the average yield per mu of this era, one husband and five people plough the fields, plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and one mu can get about one stone of corn.

That is to say, Chengxiang can produce 30,000 shi of corn in previous years, and with a small amount of bean, wheat and rice grown in small quantities, the annual grain does not exceed 40,000 shi.

Zigong claimed that in a month, he could earn more than Chengxiang’s total harvest for one year in previous years.

In addition, what Chengxiang has implemented this year is the intensive cultivation of the Daitian method. Wheat is planted in winter and corn is planted in summer, and there can be two harvests. With composting, keel waterwheel, and water conservancy additions in ditches, the production capacity per mu has increased to about one and a half stone. In addition, the high-yield Rongshu is mixed, and the annual harvest is expected to break the 100,000 stone mark!

Two hundred thousand plus one hundred thousand...

Zhao Wuxi showed a satisfied smile, and the haze brought by Zhiyao's plan gradually dissipated. He now feels that he was too modest in front of Zhao Yang half a year ago when he claimed to double the plan of Chengxiang. !

……

After returning home after finishing the shooting ceremony, the Marquis of Jin Wu and even all the ministers all found out that there was a white and delicate powder in the evening meal.

According to the pamphlet given by merchants when purchasing wheat flour, the cook cooks it into food such as scones, steamed buns, leeks and water-infused cakes, etc. The taste is very good, and it can be used as a staple food to replace the chewy corn and wheat rice.

Most of the nobles fell in love with this new food. Although the Yong people complained that the price was a little expensive, the nobles hoped that they would not get tired of eating. What? Can't make your own fief? Then continue to go to the millet market to buy!

Therefore, when Zhao Wuxi and his party went to the market to watch, they found that Zigong's booth was still surrounded by water. All the officials and doctors sent people to buy wheat flour, and even a temple person beside the monarch also came from the Xiqi Palace. ran out to buy. Therefore, Zigong himself had to stay in the Su market all day long and was very busy.

Seeing Zigong, he could only bow his hands from afar, and there was no time to say a word, so Zhao Wuxi could only wave at him and then turn around and leave. I can find an opportunity to hand it over to Zigong in the future.

He couldn't help but sigh, Zigong was just a young businessman doing a small business, and he wasn't a giant in the world in the future. For this kind of thing, he should train a few assistants from the same clan to help out earlier. I hope that the hand armor season that he arranges by his side can learn one-tenth of Zigong's art of farming.

Jin's currency economy was not as developed as Qi's, and most scholar-officials still used corn as an exchange. In Xiagongyi City, it took about three days for Chengxiang wheat flour to sell more than 1,000 stones of corn, while Xinjiang was more than 1,000 stones per day. If they were all transported away, at least ten ox carts would be required every day, which was also a hassle.

However, under Zigong's suggestion, this problem was solved. The corn obtained did not have to worry about having nowhere to store it, and it was directly taken to the cattle and horse market in exchange for cattle and horses and other livestock. This is the domain of Zhao's discretion. Seeing that there are merchants from his own family who come to buy and sell, they can even get discounts, so the price of cattle and horses is not much different from those around the lower palace.

Although under the name of the Zhao family, Xiaoxiao generally did not dare to come and cause trouble, but he had to guard against others. Zhao Wuxi named Jiaji as the two Sima, and the handsome one or two guards in the market to protect Zigong and the goods. Yu Xi, on the other hand, specially took the young knights and was responsible for escorting wheat flour to Xinjiang, and then escorting cattle, horses, grain, and money from Xinjiang back to Chengxiang.

Because Zhao Wuxi would not enter the Xiuqi Palace as an aide until the autumn festival in July, so he could go back to Chengxiang for a month.

He thought about it, and then instructed Yu Pian, who was also working by Zigong's side, that he would not accept the money and silk from the monarch's temple people every day when he came to buy them, and gave him a stone of the best white wheat flour for free. to the temple people. Also, don't forget to deliver some small favors, so that the temple people can emphasize that this is a tribute to the monarch from the concubine of the Zhao family.

Like the previous life, human etiquette needs to be maintained from time to time. If Jin Houwu can feel Zhao Wuxi's "don't forget his father" when he eats every day, then he will have an impression of Zhao Wuxi in the next month or so. Not to be cold.

"By the way, what's the name of the temple person who went out of the palace to buy?" Zhao Wuxi asked casually.

"You gentleman, the villain chatted with him a few times. His ancestor was from the Ning clan of Weiguo, and his name was Ning Zhiyuan..."

When leaving Shifang, Zhao Wuxi and Fan's car drove by the wrong hub (gu), so he and Fan Jia looked at each other again~www.wuxiahere.com~ There was no **** conflict, but a slight mutual Nod.

Both of them were elected by the monarch into the Xiqi Palace, and Fan Jia was still a palace armor in black. Zhao Wuxi felt that besides the Bank of China Heigou and Wei Ju, he had another competitor in the palace.

However, it seems that the Fan family and the Zhongxing family have not yet planned to take the route of winning over the monarch...

Wu Xie had already asked Zhang Mengtan and Le Fuli about Fan Jia, and learned that he was also known for his prudence and scheming since he was a child, and he was very proficient in both Wen Tao and martial arts. a "weakness".

"Fan Jia is so beautiful?" Zhao Wuxi was also a little surprised at the time, this person looked serious.

"Of course, I competed with me for a dancing maid in Nulu a few years ago, and she is greedy outside and inside. If you meet a woman you like, whether it's a scholar-bureaucrat lady or a savage's daughter, you must do whatever you can to get it! Therefore, Zhang Zi said in private that he was like the Governor of Song Guohua."

Hua Du, the leader of the Song Dynasty more than 100 years ago, was the leader of Song Liuqing. At that time, the wife of Sima Confucius Jia's wife of the Song Dynasty was "beautiful and beautiful", and Du Hua turned his eyes against her on the road, that is, watching her coming from the opposite side, then turned back and stared at her from behind, shaking her slim waist and moving away.

In order to take someone's wife, he actually instigated a coup d'etat, killing Kong's father Jia, murdering Duke Shang of Song, and taking Kong's wife as his own.

Kong Fujia's son was lucky enough to survive, but with the humiliation of his father being killed and his mother being forcibly taken, he fled to the State of Lu. Zhao Wuxi knew that his fifth grandson was named Confucius...
