Quick wear: let me be cannon fodder, don't even think about it

Chapter 361 Cannon Fodder in Ancient Farming Literature 9

Huo Yuan followed Ning Yu to the village and looked at the scene in front of him. This place really was still Zhuangzi. It was better than any other place.

This is a paradise on earth. There are no bumpy roads, only flat ground. There are fruits and food sold on both sides, which are things he doesn't often eat.

It was as if he had strayed into a fairyland.

Some villagers passing by saw Ning Yu coming with someone, and they all nodded silently and greeted him without disturbing him.

"How about this place? You have never seen it before!" Ning Yu gently waved the fan, looked at Huo Yuan with a smile, and asked him to take a look at this place.

He said there is no place as beautiful as this, and you have never seen it!

"Yes, the person who got this place is a very powerful person." Huo Yuan looked at Ning Yu with deep and serious eyes.

"That's right." A proud smile appeared in Ning Yu's eyes.

Huo Yuan looked at his smug little expression and felt good. He felt it was not a loss to come here.

Xiaofei and Xiaoqian didn't know where this person was from, and they had never seen this person in Zhuangzi.

He has a strong aura and noble air.

He is not from their small place, they have never seen or heard of him, so how could he know his young master?

The young master is still close to him.

Along the way, Ning Yu was introducing the decoration and construction of every road and house in their village, and every place in the school.

Huo Yuan found it hard to imagine that this facility was better than the one in their capital city. Everyone here seemed to be equal, and there were even children going to school.

"Can all the children here go to school?" Huo Yuan asked.

Ning Yu nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, every child in our village has the opportunity to receive education. Change must start from the mindset."

After hearing this, Huo Yuan thought that if this model could be promoted to a wider area, what would the future of the entire court be like?

But this will also lead to disputes between clans, noble children and poor families.

They talked like this all the way and unknowingly brought him back to his yard, which was no longer so desolate.

There are clusters of flowers in full bloom, butterflies dancing, and the sun shining through, making it look like a fairyland on earth.

"Sit down. The food here is good, right?" Ning Yu asked Xiao Qian and the others to prepare to eat.

Huo Yuan looked around. It was indeed a nice place with good air. He sat down in front of Ning Yu.

"You can try our specialties later. They are something you have never tasted before and will really open your eyes."

Ning Yu wanted him to try the food here, as he definitely had never eaten it before since he first arrived.

"Okay!" Huo Yuan also wanted to take a look at the things here.

Seeing that the person opposite him had confidence in his stuff, he decided to give it a try.

"Master, these are the watermelons brought by the villagers. They are so sweet." Xiao Fei put the cut watermelons on a plate and took it out to entertain the master.

"What is this?" Huo Yuan looked at this red thing with green skin and tiger stripes curiously.

"You don't know this! This is called watermelon. We only have it here. It's hard for people outside to eat it." Xiao Fei proudly talked about the unique fruit in Meilin Village.

Many people come here to buy, no matter how high the price is outside, but they can eat whatever they want here, it is much more important here.

"Yes, try it and see if it tastes good!" Ning Yu picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to him.

Huo Yuan reached out and took it. He looked at the piece and it was a little cold, but he could still smell its sweet scent. This thing was raw, so how could it be eaten like this?

Under Ning Yu's gaze, he slowly took a bite, and the sweet taste instantly filled his mouth. It was very sweet.

It is the best thing to eat in summer to cool down. It is cool and sweet.

"Is it yummy?"

Ning Yu watched with interest as Huo Yuan ate the watermelon bite by bite. Soon he had finished a piece of watermelon.

Huo Yuan nodded with a satisfied smile on his face, "It's really delicious. This is the most delicious thing I have ever tasted."

Ning Yu smiled proudly when he saw this, "I knew you would like it. The watermelons in our Meilin Manor are famous for their sweetness. Every summer, they are in short supply."

Huo Yuan asked curiously: "How do you grow such sweet watermelons?"

Ning Yu explained: "Our village has fertile soil and abundant water resources. With the careful care of the villagers, we can naturally grow good watermelons. In addition, we have a unique planting technology that can ensure the quality of watermelons."

After hearing this, Huo Yuan secretly admired in his heart that this place not only has a beautiful environment, but also has simple folk customs and advanced technology. It is truly a rare paradise.

As the two chatted while eating watermelon, Huo Yuan became more and more curious about Ning Yu's village. He began to think about how profound an impact it would have on the country's agriculture and education if such a model could be promoted nationwide.

"Ning Yu, your place is really a treasure trove. Aren't you afraid that... other places will follow your example?" Huo Yuan said seriously.

"Don't be afraid, because we are the only ones who have the things here, and it won't be of any use to them even if they get them."

Ning Yu wasn't afraid that they would steal it.

"We also have strawberries, peaches, apricots, oranges, etc. You can eat whatever you want."

Although these are small varieties of fruits, every household grows them on a large scale and sells them. Every household here grows two or three kinds of fruits.

Too much to eat.

"Our food includes rice, potatoes, wheat, and sorghum. If we produce 1,000 kilograms of these, we can feed them and have some left over."

At first they didn't believe it, but when they weighed the crops during the harvest, they were shocked. They realized it was just a piece of cake.

Anyway, every household grows fruit, and they preserve it according to his method, and many of them make many different sauces for easy preservation.

"A thousand kilograms of grain a year?" Huo Yuan was shocked.

"No."

Huo Yuan was about to feel relieved when he heard his answer, but he didn't expect the next sentence to shock him even more.

“This is one quarter, it will be more in a year.”

Huo Yuan couldn't believe his ears: "One quarter? How is this possible?"

Ning Yu smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Huo Yuan's surprise: "You don't think there is such a place? It's not difficult to harvest three crops a year."

"Then why don't you want to report to the court?" Huo Yuan. Although it was presumptuous, he still wanted to ask how such a high-yield thing was produced here.

Why don't you report to the court? This way you can be promoted to a higher position, which is inevitable.

"The court, why should I let those people take a share of my profits?"

Ning Yu doesn't want to enter the imperial court, as it would be very troublesome.

"So you want to be a businessman?"

How could anyone not want to be an official?

"Of course. I'll sell these things and make money. Then I'll be the richest man and there will be nothing I can't buy."

Ning Yu expressed his great wish, full of longing.

"Do you look down on businessmen?"

"No." He didn't look down on merchants, but in this era, merchants were like the lowest class. The court had no money, while the merchants accumulated a lot of wealth.
