Chapter 203: credit

  Qi Haoran swallowed, thinking of the information that Mu Shi sent back when he came back last time, he said at that time that many Han people were looking for a route to escape to Dazhou.

This may have been a good thing in the past, but it is a disaster in the face of natural disasters. If so many refugees fled to Xingzhou, what would they give them to eat? If it can't be brought out, this riot can't be aimed at Da Zhou?

The riots of the common people are sometimes more terrifying than the war outside. As soon as the thought flashed by, Qi Haoran's heart moved, and he looked up at his elder brother with a "hoo".

"What's the matter?" Qi Xiuyuan noticed his brother's movement, turned his head and asked.

Qi Haoran hurriedly shook his head, "It's alright, big brother, continue talking."

Qi Xiuyuan and Fan Zijin glanced at Mu Yangling veiledly, knowing that Qi Haoran must have thought of something, but they were concerned that Mu Yangling did not say it, and the two did not pursue further questions. Qi Xiuyuan continued: "Now the army's food and grass are responsible for each other, although I can ask the imperial court for support, but the possibility of the imperial court appropriating grain is zero, so before the chaos begins, I hope that the camp can store more grain," Qi Xiuyuan said: "Not only grain, but also grain and grass, which will be harvested this year. All the wheat straw and straw are dried and kept, and each household must hand over a certain amount, and we will discuss this matter later.”

Qi Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Mu Yangling, and said with a smile, "So all the corn you plant has to be kept as seeds, but don't worry, I don't want you for nothing. I'll get it at a high price, how about it?"

"It's all up to the general, but the high price doesn't need to be used. This kind of thing was still paid by the small general."

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "How much did he spend? I want more than 20 acres of seeds from you right now. This is a big deal. If you have any other ideas, just tell me, as long as you can do it. I'll help you with it."

Mu Yangling thought for a while, and said solemnly: "General, you said that there might be chaos in the future, but in fact, only ordinary people are really suffering and starving. Although this corn is not delicious, it can save lives. I want to sow this seed. The method spreads, so that everyone can grow some corn, even if there is a drought or flood, and the rice and wheat harvests fail, at least this thing will save lives for the time being.”

Qi Xiuyuan reached out and touched her hair, smiled and praised: "A-ling has the world in her heart, it's good, I have no opinion on this, but there are very few corn seeds left in this world, as far as I know, except for four plates There are some in the village, but the one you have is the largest."

"And the seeds in Sipan Village are not good," Fan Zijin interjected, "I got to know Zhuang Dawei when he was still here. Sipan Village is surrounded by mountains, so there are very few fields, and the same amount of corn is grown. Less, and the harvest is not good, all of them may not have as much as yours."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "Even if we pay for the seeds of Sipan Village, it may not be enough for our military households to sow seeds, let alone spread them out."

Seeing that Mu Yangling bowed his head and said nothing, Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "However, you can do some preparations in advance. Disasters don't come as soon as they say they are. There will be no problem in the first half of next year. The real difficulty will start in the second half of next year. By that time, our second batch of corn will also be mature. Not only can we set aside part of it for food, but we can also select a large number of seeds. Before that, we can Spread the news of high corn yields."

Fan Zijin said to himself: "Big cousin, why don't you let me do this."

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head, "I don't need you at all. When A Ling's cornfield is harvested and the data is obtained, I will write a letter to ask for A Ling's credit. When the court awards it, the whole Da Zhou will know where it is needed. with you?"

Mu Yangling was stunned, pointed to his nose and said, "Pray for me?"

"Yeah," Qi Xiuyuan said with a smile, "you planted the corn, not for you, but for whom? Over the past 100 years, since the fleet returned, how many farmers have been hired by the Ministry of Household and Ministry of Industry to do this? But the planting has not been good, the highest yield is only 56 catties per mu, and the seeds sown are more than this number, you have found the correct method now, shouldn't you be rewarded?"

Mu Yangling opened his mouth and looked at Fan Zijin. Fan Zijin whispered, "This kind of seed was obviously bought by Haoran."

Qi Xiuyuan glared at his cousin and said to Mu Yangling: "The court's award won't have any actual reward, but this reputation is also good for you, then I will report two names, your father is a soldier It's useless for him to have this reputation, so I want to report the names of you and your brother Mu Bowen. You have the imperial edict, and your parents will no longer have to worry about your marriage in the future, and your brother is weak , With this, it will be smoother to go as a civil servant in the future."

Qi Haoran pursed his lips and smiled, winked at Mu Yangling, bumped Fan Zijin again, and became cheerful.

Mu Yangling didn't expect Qi Xiuyuan to even think of these things, and said after a moment of silence: "General, in fact, I can't be this, this is actually something from my predecessors, I just relied on some things that others don't have to grow this yield, But when it comes to farming, I must be comparable to others. I have only grown this corn for one season, but the villagers of Sipan Village have been planting it for nearly a hundred years, and they have also studied it for nearly a hundred years. Now as long as this knot is untied, they will only be more powerful than me, if you really want to apply for a letter, you might as well report Sipan Village." Letting a village study a crop for a hundred years, Mu Yangling felt that it would not matter. If I didn’t succeed, being able to persist for so long is a victory in a sense, “I also tell you one thing, this corn is drought-resistant and cold-resistant, and it should be possible to plant the second season in our Xingzhou Prefecture, but I’m afraid the cold wave will come too early. , tender corn can't grow old, but I think the villagers of Sipan Village may have a way, you have to rely on them if you want to get a lot of seeds in a short time."

Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran looked at each other, Qi Haoran said, "Do you want us to take all the people from Sipan Village?"

Mu Yangling said: "Sipan Village has always been isolated from the world. Although it is in the Jin Kingdom, it has not been disturbed. The road is connected to Mingshui County. There are only more than 50 households in the whole village, and all the people have been moved out. It's not difficult. Zhuang Dawei mentioned a lot of precautions when he helped me grow corn, including insect and weed control, but in fact, my attention was more on the wheat fields and rice fields, and I really didn't care much about these corns. Take care, if you want to ask me about how to grow this corn, I know, but if you want to ask how to control insects and pests, I don’t understand at all. If you want to grow this kind of thing on a large scale, these are the things you must understand. ."

Qi Xiuyuan knocked on the table and said, "Sipan Village has grown corn for nearly a hundred years, and there is really no one who is more familiar than them." Qi Xiuyuan put his eyes on Mu Yangling and asked, "Such a big portion. Don't you feel bad for the credit?"
