The autumn plowing is deep, the spring plowing is shallow, the spring plowing is like turning cakes, and the autumn plowing is like digging a well. The spring plowing is one inch deep, and you can carry the manure. The spring plowing is unwilling to be busy, and your face is yellow after autumn. After the beginning of spring, and the Spring Festival has passed, every household is really busy

Get up.

In order to promote production in the people and prevent the single-increase of crops, the government issued many edicts to require that the south cannot have a single rice crop. Rice yield is high, but once it encounters a drought year, the Song Dynasty can

Without modern reservoir dams, it can transport water for a long distance, and farmers can only produce and harvest.

Since the Han Dynasty, the official escort community has asked the villages to build soil cattle. The land cattle are a symbol of escort in spring. This ancient formalism is equivalent to the banner hanging on the wall today: every family raises dairy cows, and you don’t have to worry about getting rich. The big species

Greenhouse vegetables, slogans like every family is rich and fast. This kind of earthen cow is generally three feet and six inches tall, symbolizing thirty-sixty days, eight feet and four inches head and tail, and nearly twenty-four solar terms. There is also a grass on the head of the earthen cow.

The shed is here to shelter from the wind and rain.

He Lu is building earthen cattle every year, but the enthusiasm of the people to farm is getting lower and lower. The earthen cattle built in the beginning of spring is like a mule that is about to starve to death. It looks like there is no energy at all, and it is not as good as a peasant woman.

The manure pile is high.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, four emperors have been in existence. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, local officials such as Jiangnan, Jinghu, Liangzhe, and Fujian Provinces have promoted crops such as millet, soybeans, barley, and barley, and the government has distributed seeds.

These northern crops are not charged for taxes in these southern regions.

Because there is no tax on planting these grain crops, after the court promotion, after long-term domestication of crops, the crops in the north adapted to the southern climate and also achieved a bumper harvest in the south. In addition, the wars in the north and a large number of people migrated south, they still like to eat.

Crops in the north, gradually, there were a lot of dryland crops in the south.

However, the seeds distributed by the government are limited after all, and will not be promoted on a large scale. They are only distributed as a kind of combat grain. Rice has high requirements for land, and most of them are in the hands of large and powerful people. Small farmers cannot plant paddy fields every year.

I just guarded a few acres of dry land, planted some grain to spread my stomach, or took the grain to the market to exchange it for some white rice to eat.

Because it can be sold on the market, some farmers or restaurants will also buy some farm vegetables, and they will also plant some crops such as leeks, alfalfa, coriander, castor, garlic, ginger, and rapeseed in the field. They will be planted according to the times

, try not to waste land and increase income.

Farmers plant according to the times year round, plant at sunrise and rest at sunset. When there is a slight disaster of locusts and drought, their hair will turn white. It is not that they do not have enough effort to care about it, but that human power is weak and cannot defeat nature.

At this time, if you don’t work hard, this place will be really ruined. In the fields, farmers are busy urging and watering the land, ploughing and preparing for plowing. He Baozheng and He Sandun are now immersed in their own lives all day long.

In those fields, the sun sets until the sun is set, and Liang Chuan has no chance to chat with him. He can only stay in the yard honestly and chop firewood.

On this day, Liang Chuan was as usual, and he rotated the big axes and axes in his hand, quickly chopping the firewood. Lao Cai, the butler of the Zheng family, suddenly came to Liang Chuan's doorstep in a carriage. A man drove the carriage, and the horse's hooves dripped.

Diddid, Lao Cai was the only one on the carriage, and no one else.

Old Cai was in a mess all the way, and Liang Chuan asked Ye Xiaochai to pour him a bowl of water. Old Cai Gudong finished drinking the water and told Liang Chuan about the renting Zheng's Mingyi Shop that he talked about at the Zheng family on the first day of the New Year a few days ago.

Something about.

Liang Chuan thought he would come to Zheng's house to talk about this in a few days, but he didn't expect that the old servant came to him, and he should have received Mr. Zheng's instructions.

Lao Cai said: "Official Zhang, my master agreed to rent the shop that Manager Xu was in charge of you, but there are several conditions. One cannot commit crimes in the shop, and use them to violate the law and discipline, and the other cannot

Demolition and construction in the shop is an old house, and if it is damaged, it may collapse. Third, you cannot make a living with the Zheng family, otherwise you will take back the shop and ask you to find another house. You may do it

, if we can, we will go to the shop immediately.”

Several requests are reasonable and reasonable, but Liang Chuan did not agree. He called Ye Xiaochai and went with him to Fengshan to see the shop he was about to rent. Lao Cai invited the two of them to ride on the carriage together, and it was too expensive to walk.

time.

There was a distance between He Lu and Fengshan. Lao Cai worked at Zheng's house since he was a child, and he worked from a servant at the bottom to his current housekeeper. When he went out, he was also well-known in Fengshan. Everyone would call him Zheng's housekeeper.

But it has been different since he met this young man. This young man is very polite to him, but he will not take the initiative to get close. He is a person with vision. Even his master's brother-in-law treats this farmer so politely.

Plus, if you strive to be strong, you will feel uncomfortable.

At the moment, he was in the same carriage and could only sit opposite him. He was very boring with big eyes, so Lao Cai simply closed his eyes and kept his spirits for a while. Liang Chuan shook in the car for a while.

Lao Cai didn't say anything, and pretended that he didn't see him, he took the initiative to fight with Lao Cai and said, "Butler Cai, you have been in Zheng Mansion for some time."

Lao Cai didn't expect Liang Chuan to answer him on his own initiative, because he felt that Liang Chuan was a capable and tempered person, and had a little too big temper. He had been to Liang Chuan's house several times and fully felt that Liang Chuan was different. He also

Unexpectedly, Liang Chuan would ask this question and answered lightly: "I have been in the Zheng family for the rest of my life. Since I was sensible, I have been following my father and grandpa and the others. How long have I forgotten?"

"Awesome, awesome..." Liang Chuan looked at Ye Xiaochai and nodded, both eyes showing a look of surprise and admiration. "If we can decide this matter today, will we have to sign a contract or go back?

Contract or something.” Liang Chuan asked weakly.

Lao Cai's eyes slowly opened, looked directly at Liang Chuan, and asked simply: "Are you worried that when you sign the contract, my identity is not qualified, can't you sign the contract on behalf of the Zheng family?"

Old Cai's words were too direct. Liang Chuan didn't mean that originally. There was no hip-hop on his face, and there was no posture of changing his face and slowing down after being exposed. He said seriously: "Mr. Cai, I don't have any doubts about your identity, more

I don’t worry about who signed the deed. It doesn’t matter whether I sign or not. Business trust is the first. Your Zheng family is the biggest sign in Fengshan. I won’t worry about this.”

Liang Chuan continued: "You are an old man from the Zheng family. Even your family respects you like your own relatives. How can I dare to disrespect you?"

Ye Xiaochai also said good things: "Yes, Butler Cai, our boss is not as powerful as that kind of person, and he would never have such an idea."

"Then why did you ask?"

"I just want to see if this matter can be decided for it at once today. Since you came to Helu to find me on your own initiative, you must be full of sincerity. I also want to rent your shop. If you have to make more trouble and run back and forth

Not only is the long journey, but it’s still a waste of time. I’m afraid that you will suffer.”

This is quite reasonable, and Lao Cai responded without hesitation: "My lady is already waiting for you in the shopkeeper Xu's shop. All the families rely on you so much, so this should be nothing unexpected."

The carriage was walking on the bluestone slabs on the market street in Fengshan, and the wheels collided with the ground and made a rhythmic clatter. I don’t know who built the bluestone slab road in Fengshan. It was very good to repair it, and one road made the whole road.

The grade of townships has been improved by several levels. When it rains, there is no need to rush on the muddy roads, which will benefit the people. Even Xinghua County cannot find several such good roads.

"Wow——", the groom servant said softly outside the carriage: "Butler Cai, we're here."

Old Cai responded and was about to pull the car curtain. Liang Chuan took the initiative to flirt and asked Old Cai to get off the car first. A small move made Old Cai look at Liang Chuan kinder. Zheng Ruoying was now with her fierce cousin Zheng Yuzhi.

Standing at the door of the store, waiting.

Zheng Ruoying was filled with joy when she saw Liang Chuan get out of the car. For some reason, she always felt that this man was different from other people. He always exuded a unique charm. Liang Chuan jumped out of the car.

Ye Xiaochai followed behind and reached out to support Ye Xiaochai.

When Zheng Ruoying saw Ye Xiaochai also came over, her face was obviously unfriendly. Women seemed to have a natural hostility among their kind, and her face immediately pulled down. This woman was more eloquent than Liang Chuan's official wife, and her appearance was not bad.

She was a servant, following Liang Chuan's butt every day. Those who didn't know thought it was Liang Chuan's concubine!

Liang Chuan has no time to pay attention to what expression on Zheng Ruoying's face. He walked to the intersection of the village north of Fengshan for the first time. The flow of people and passengers here are several levels lower than that of the core area of ​​Xiating Tower.

It was as if it was opened a shop in Helu, and it was sparse and not angry. The bluestone slabs on Fengshan Street just broke at the entrance of the shop, and the wind blew outside and raised waves of sand and dust.

There are two trees planted at the entrance of the market, and on the right is the willow tree. The tender buds on the willow branches have been drawn out, and thousands of green silk ribbons made of jade are hanging down. On the left is the pine tree with twisted branches and twisted trunks, and the pine leaves are green ink, all seasons are as usual.

.The two trees stand tall and graceful, as big as a car cover, and the trunk is thick, which is quite old. There is a small pavilion under the willow tree that is almost collapsed, and there is not even a name.

Look at this shop again. The door at the door has been removed, and only a bare flagpole is left. The sign on the door has also been removed, leaving a clear mark on the place where the sign is hung. The size of the shop is the same as other ones.

It's the same as the door panels are closed and locked tightly. The house is a duplex structure, and there is a small attic upstairs. The structure is good, but the house is a bit old.

"Go and knock on the door and open it." Zheng Ruoying instructed a servant to go in through the back door and remove the door panel before entering the store. At this time, the shops used long thick wooden boards as the store door, and ironware was expensive to install.

The door is a bit too expensive, so it can be widened. The servant removed the door panels one by one and placed them on the wall.

Zheng Ruoying led Liang Chuan into the store. There were many unsold paper made of gold and silver utensils in the store, which were clearly placed on the ground and on the shelves. If these items were not necessary, who would like them on weekdays?
