Chapter 120: How is this possible?
Chapter 120 How is this possible?
"Okay." Dugu Huanxu made some calculations and said, "A total of 8,000 catties, ten Wen per catty, that's eighty taels of silver."
"Exactly."
Dugu Huanxu looked at Feng Yuan, and Feng Yuan took out a large bag of banknotes and silver from his waist, and gave a total of eighty taels to Nangong Anshan.
Nangong Anshan accepted the money with a smile, and said, "I will grow food every year in the future. If you still need it in the future, you can continue to buy it from me."
Dugu Huanxu smiled helplessly, "Okay, then it's settled, it's a deal."
After Dugu Huanxu left, Nangong Anshan also told Zhou Lizheng about her family's mother property.
When weighing the yield per mu, she has great strength, mainly by herself, and the second brother records it. Others only know that the yield per mu in her field is high, but not the specific yield per mu.
Zhou Lizheng was shocked when he heard the words: "Ashan, what are you talking about? The yield of those rice is so high, it is as high as 1,200 catties?"
"Yes." Nangong Anshan said: "So the friends of His Royal Highness Li transported most of the food away. I can't afford to offend them with their status, so I only kept a small part. But my rice The villagers were not notified of the yield per mu, and I also left some of the seeds, and if someone asks, just say that next year I will let them all grow high-yield rice."
Zhou Lizheng said: "I understand. With your words, I feel relieved. Ah Shan, I thank you on behalf of the villagers. With such a high-yield rice, they will never be hungry again."
"You don't need to say thank you, they are all from the same village. Except for those people who have a problem with me, I will help others as much as I can."
"it is good."
Some people also wanted to know how much food per mu was produced by Nangong Anshan's family. After Nangong Anshan left, many people came to Zhou Lizheng's house.
"Zhou Lizheng, what is the yield per mu in Ah Shan's family? Did she tell you?"
"Yes, but I promised that she would not reveal the exact number. Anyway, it is very high. She also said that she will give you her family's grain seeds next year, so that your family can also have a bumper harvest."
Everyone was delighted at the same time when they heard the words.
One person said: "Zhou Lizheng, the yield per mu in Ashan's field must have reached five or six hundred catties, right?"
Zhou Lizheng smiled and said, "I can't say that again. All in all, the yield per mu is higher than that of your own land."
It’s okay for everyone not to say anything when they see him. Anyway, they will know when they grow it next year.
…
Dugu Huanxu was very fast, and sent people over in the afternoon to take away all the food.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he was invited to the study by King Li.
At this time, there are already two generals in the study, waiting for him to come.
The two generals saw Dugu Huanxu coming in, and respectfully said: "I have seen the prince."
Dugu Huanxu nodded, sat down and asked, "What happened? The two generals are here."
King Li said solemnly: "I received a secret report today that King Yong has completely quelled the civil strife in his fiefdom. Before that, we took over a lot of people in King Yong's fiefdom. King Yong will take revenge and hold a grudge against him. He will probably start a war with us next .Now the people around him are divided into two factions, one is the main faction, and the other is the main peace faction. He is still hesitating, but the possibility of going to war with us is extremely high."
Dugu Huanxu said: "Yongwang's fiefdom has only experienced civil strife. Now the army must be seriously injured, and it will not be now. It will be winter soon, and fighting in winter will not be good for him. In my opinion, King Yong wants to start a war, the earliest time is estimated to be the spring of next year."
General He said: "His Royal Highness is right, and the last general thinks the same way. Prince, you don't have to worry too much now, we still have time to prepare."
General Qin said: "My lord, don't worry, if there is a war, the general will definitely fulfill his mission."
Li Wangdao: "This king understands the loyalty of the two of you, but this king is worried that the people will be in dire straits again."
Seeing that his father was so worried, Dugu Huanxu said: "Father, the common people may have a better life in the future."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Dugu Huanxu then told about the fact that Nangong Anshan's grain yield per mu was 1,200 catties today.
The three of them stood up in shock at the same time.
Li Wang was stunned and said: "A Xu, you are not joking with father, are you?"
General He said: "Four hundred catties per mu of grain is considered a lot on weekdays, how could it be possible to produce twelve hundred catties per mu of grain?"
General Qin was also full of disbelief, "One year of planting can be worth three or four years of planting before. Is there really such a miraculous thing in the world? My son, you are still young, could you have been deceived? Now is not the time to harvest rice."
Dugu Huanxu said: "I saw the grain with my own eyes. When the grain was transported to the warehouse, it was weighed again. The grain in the seven mu of land was 8,400 catties. I only transported 8,000 catties. The master left four hundred catties."
Li Wang was surprised: "There are 8,400 catties in seven acres of land? How is this possible?"
Dugu Huanxu said: "Father, how could I lie to you, two generals, do you think I will tell lies to lie to you?"
The three of them thought about it, as Dugu Huanxu, as the prince, it was really impossible to deceive them with such words.
Li Wangdao: "Ah Xu, who the **** can actually grow grain with a yield of 1,200 catties per mu?"
Dugu Huanxu said: "Father also knows about her, that is, the Nangong Anshan girl who cooperated with us to open the oil extraction workshop. She planted it in her field. But she didn't plant it herself, but she invited it. The villagers helped her grow it."
General Qin said: "Then, the ones who are the most powerful are those who help her farm?"
Dugu Huanxu shook his head: "No, the few people who helped her farm the fields also have fields at home, and they also planted them with seeds distributed by the government, but the food grown is not yet ready for harvest, and it is very ordinary."
Li Wang frowned: "Then what's going on?"
Dugu Huanxu said: "Nangong Anshan explained that her land may be a treasure land of geomantic omen."
General He said: "I think this explanation is a bit far-fetched."
"Indeed." General Qin said: "But the land was not planted by the owner, and we can't imagine what she can do."
Dugu Huanxu said: "Yes, I think so too."
Li Wang said: "Then you have to save the rice seeds well, we can use them next year. If the entire Li Wang fief can grow high-yield grain in the future, then the people will have a better life."
"Yes, Father."
After the rice was harvested, Nangong Anshan's family vacated another seven acres of land.
There is no habit of growing wheat in winter here, but in the country she lived in in her previous life, winter wheat was grown in many fields in many places.
