Ye Jianqiu

This is a corn green gauze tent with hundreds of acres.

Looking into the distance, a few acres of space are specially separated around the cornfield to isolate this cornfield alone.Obviously, this practice is done by experienced farmers in order to ensure the purity of corn seeds harvested in the future.

The leaves that are as big as long swords, the corn that is as thick as cannonballs, and the tassels that are like brooms... All the signs indicate that this large corn field was cultivated with seeds from the Red Star Hope Farm.

The horse under the crotch flicked its tail, gnawing on the crops in front of it from time to time, and the corn with gaps appeared black and bright.

That is the variety that Ye Jianqiu specially left behind - Black Pearl No. [-].

Chao Ge whispered in his ear: "Shall I set fire to it?"

Ye Jianqiu shook his head: "No need."

After all, land and corn are innocent, and wasting food is one of the things Ye Jianqiu can't tolerate the most.

Ye Jianqiu sighed helplessly.

Obviously, the Cao's shop had other plans when it boldly purchased all the grain from the farm.

The Cao family and Ye Jianqiu wanted to go together, and they used these high-quality grains as seeds.However, the shrewd Cao family will not sell the seeds to the common people. They just want to plant them in their own village. After harvesting, they will process and grind them into powder for sale, and use the high yield to increase their income...

——The Cao family, who are only interested in profit, will not share such a huge cake with others easily.

Ye Jianqiu secretly estimated that the cornfield in front of him was spring corn.That is to say, sow at the end of March and harvest at the beginning of July.And the time to sow the seeds was when he was not in Qingyang...

Because he was blindly immersed in the grief of losing his love, he was put on a list.

Ye Jianqiu smiled wryly, now you are thinking about it, right?Lost love, do you still want to lose your career?wake up!

"It's getting late, let's go back."

"Listen to you."

Chaoge turned his horse's head, and the two riders rode away.

Back in the tent, Ye Jianqiu lay powerlessly on the bed, closed his eyes and remained motionless.

He's out of his mind.

Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking...

After the corn is harvested, the Cao family will continue to plant peanuts, soybeans and other varieties in their farm.After the harvest, it will be squeezed into oil and sold. In this world where people almost only use animal oil for food, vegetable oil can be regarded as a luxury, and this must be a big income!Obviously, the Zhuangzi of the Cao family has become the second big farm.

Ye Jianqiu originally wanted to focus on agriculture, but didn't care about cosmetics, so he generously handed it over to the Cao family.Unexpectedly, even the only thing he valued was stolen by the Cao family.

Cao Wu, Cao Wu, what can I say about you...

After Chaoge entered the room, he closed the tent door, put down the curtain, quietly took off his shoes and turned on the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt away, and covered the two of them together.

In the darkness, Chaoge hugged the cold person beside him tightly in his arms.Two young people who started their own businesses for the first time encountered a career crisis for the first time, so they couldn't help hugging each other tightly.

Feeling warm, Ye Jianqiu closed his eyes and took off the hairpin from his head, turned over and snuggled into Chaoge's arms.

Chao Ge also untied her headband, her long black hair scattered all over the pillow.

"Is it more comfortable to lie down like this?"

"Ah."

Two people squeezed together is very warm.

Smelling the fragrance of the other party close at hand, Chao Ge said: "Do you want me to bloody Cao's mansion?"

——Gentle as if saying "Do you want me to serve you a bowl of noodles?"

Ye Jianqiu couldn't help laughing and said: "Some parents will physically punish their children, but in fact it is incompetence in education. I believe that violence is not the only way to solve the problem."

No matter how big a mistake the other party made, Ye Jianqiu didn't want to risk his life, after all he had received a sunny orthodox education for many years.

Chaoge smiled, this person's heart is like a little hedgehog, he always likes to put away his thorns, and when facing others, he only shows his soft belly.

Chao Ge said: "Do you know? I once heard a story that there was a kind of melon secretly grown in the palace. At that time, she was rewarded with a piece by the master, but she secretly hid a seed under her tongue and brought it out of the palace."

"and after?"

"Later, this kind of melon gradually appeared in her hometown."

"Finally?"

"Later, when the royal family found out, it was already too late, and the local people all ate the delicacy that the royal family can only enjoy."

Ye Jianqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you didn't kill someone."

Chao Ge smiled: "That's because it's too late. If the maid who hid the melon seeds was discovered, she would definitely die."

The meaning of this story of Chaoge is to say that if you want to do good things, you have to take huge risks.

"Then what should we do? Are the seeds on the farm still sold?"

Ye Jianqiu's idea is very simple, he originally planned to sell the seeds, the income of the farm will increase, and the common people will also benefit.But seeing what the Cao family did, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

If the farm opens up and pushes a large number of high-quality seeds to the market, then there will be more Zhuangzi to compete with them, and the income of their farm will be greatly reduced.

There is another most important reason - the land in this world, the official land is mostly owned by the poor, and the private land is mostly owned by the rich.If this happens, the gentry and rich will increase their motivation to plunder the land, and the people will be even more miserable. Not only will they lose their poor land, but they may even become serfs...

Is this a terrible butterfly effect?Ye Jianqiu is very worried, is he a saint or a profiteer?He is more troubled than Hamlet.

Feeling the person in his arms turning over and sighing, Chaoge patted Ye Jianqiu on the back comfortingly and said, "No matter what you say, I will do it immediately."

"Actually, I also want to hear other people's opinions."

"why?"

"Because I also want to depend... am I lazy?"

"No, because you are tired and don't want to use your brain."

"Chaoge is really smart!"

Hearing the compliment from the other party, Chao Ge twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help hugging his hands tighter.

In the darkness, Ye Jianqiu could really feel the other party's warm breath, and the feather-like itching on his face, which was Zhao Ge's long eyelashes blinking and blinking on his face...

Ye Jianqiu moved a little away and said in a low voice: "Chaoge, do you know? Since I was a child, I like to hide in the 'small black room' that I carefully prepared when the weather is bad. Listening to the sound outside With the sound of wind and rain, I feel that my house is safe.”

"Me too. Since I was a child, I like to hide in a warm hole when the north wind is howling, light a bonfire, and listen to the wind and snow outside. I feel very at ease."

"Actually, it's a sign of insecurity."

"Oh I see."

Ye Jianqiu's small bed was tightly placed behind a row of tall bookshelves, surrounded by a thick bed curtain, like an airtight box.

The night was dark, the wind was howling, and the branches blown by the wind "slapped" and knocked on the roof of the tent from time to time, making muffled noises.

Sure enough, this small box-like bed is like a warm bird's nest, and people hide in it, as if shielding the wind and rain from the outside.

Chaoge's eyes are a little warm. Although he doesn't know what Ye Jianqiu's childhood was like, there is one thing in common. They are all children who lack love...

——Although Ye Jianqiu has an aunt who loves him, he has no father and mother after all. Without his parents, he has heard all kinds of rumors.Ye Jianqiu always hides quietly, no matter how much Aunt Ren knocks on the door, she will never open it.

——As for Chaoge, his birthday is also the "death day" of his mother.Although his mother turned into a black eagle to accompany him in the end, she couldn't greet him like a normal mother, but just beat him gently with her head...

Looking at the dark tent roof, Chao Ge said slowly: "The Cao family must have many workshops outside. I have already found that there are the same products as the farm for sale. Spirits, fruit wine, copperware, and standard horses. Bits, bridles, tassels... and special bolts for armor and carriages."

Ye Jianqiu sighed: "There are screw bolts too...I never thought they would let nothing go."

The screws on the farm are all made by hand, and are divided into coarse and fine tooth series.When making, the nail blank of the screw must be forged first, and then the nail head and the round nail body are knocked out on the nail blank with a hammer.Then, use a saw to saw grooves in the nail head.

At first it seemed mundane that bolts held things together, but without them, everything would fall apart.

Those who have used bolts have tasted the sweetness and gradually applied to all aspects.It can be used as a hinge for opening and closing doors, a device for lifting water, a connection for combat readiness armor, and even agricultural tools, carriages and other items, all using bolts.

Due to the complicated and expensive production process, screws are now sold individually by size and model, which is also one of the sources of farm income.

"They must also know about those looms with eight spinnerets."

"Yes."

The farm imitated the Jenny textile machine, with eight spindles arranged vertically and driven by a spinning wheel. After the workers fed fiber strips, they could be used for spinning cotton, wool, and hemp fibers.One machine is equivalent to the labor force of eight people, and machinery will gradually replace traditional labor.This newly made loom sample is still on the farm and has not been officially put into use. Ye Jianqiu originally wanted to build a workshop and let the workers come to work in the cotton spinning factory...

"How did Cao Wu explain it to you?"

Ye Jianqiu has never met Cao Wu until now, he only learned the reason of the matter through Chao Ge.

After Chao Ge knew about this, he beat Cao Wu hard for the first time.Cao Wu, whose face was covered in blood, did not fight back. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake honestly. He explained that it was because his mother liked the farm's products, so he asked him more questions.

So, unsuspecting, he said a lot to the old lady he had always admired.

Cao Wu's idea is very simple. The Cao family's business is so big that there are shops in the whole Qingluan, so why would they want to look at a small farm?Although he understood the ambitions of his mother and elder brother, he didn't expect her idea to hit the farm!

Although Cao Wu was very sad, the reason why the old lady brought it up was so big that he couldn't resist.Cao's mother said that the so-called benevolence does not lead soldiers, and righteousness does not lead to family. If their Cao family wants to honor their ancestors, they must not have a heart of benevolence and righteousness.Since ancient times, the strong have stepped on top of other people's heads, and their feet are full of dry bones...

In the end, Cao's mother comforted Cao Wu. If the little cook is angry, the worst thing is to pay back the money, or discuss it. The two can join forces to build a big farm together...

How could Cao Wu have the guts to discuss any cooperation?Seeing that Cao Wu refused to come forward, Mother Cao proposed to meet Ye Jianqiu herself, but was stopped by Cao Wukuku.Damn!You are still so confident as a "thief", do you still want me to see the little cook in this life?

——The kindness of women!

This is Cao's mother's final evaluation to Cao Laowu!

Chao Ge said: "Although Cao Wu has no intentions, Mother Cao has intentions. Although the Cao family has endless money to spend and endless land to grow, the Cao family has no military force. They are like headless chickens. They voted for the master. They rely on Lu Yanyu in the open, and they also have contacts with the State of Chi in the dark. They are only doing business in the open, but they want to develop the army behind the scenes. They want to divide the world with the imperial court, but they have no chance."

"If Cao Da had an army, he would become a warlord and a hidden danger."

"That's right, this is why the imperial court has emphasized agriculture and suppressed business since ancient times. Everything they do now is not only for their own benefit, but also for you."

"why?"

Ye Jianqiu opened his eyes wide.

Looking at those eyes shining like stars in the dark night, it seems to be the only beauty in the world.

Chaoge couldn't help but thought to himself, for some flowers, you have to lie down and look up at their scenery, and you will be surprised to find that the beauty under the petals is something you can't see from the top, because the brilliance on the top is only reserved for insects...

Chaoge couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed those bright black eyes and said, "Because of Zhao Chun."

"King Qi?"

Ye Jianqiu wiped his wet eyes indifferently, he only regarded Chaoge as his cute little brother.It's just that this little brother always kisses him when he's in a bad mood...

Chaoge suppressed the sadness in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Because they finally saw the trace of Qianlong. The king of Qi is only so loyal to you, because he has taken a fancy to your ability. Because your current ability has disappeared. Yes, so what you can do now, the Cao family is more capable of doing it, and will do it better. Therefore, they look forward to being able to climb up to the king of Qi... If the king of Qi finally becomes the great treasure, then the Cao family will at least All princes."

"The ambition is really big, does Zhao Chun know?"

"Zhao Chun knows everything. He will judge the situation and stand on the sidelines. Maybe when the sheep are fattened, he will cut everything across the board. How can he be allowed to grow gradually?"

"Too."

Ye Jianqiu sighed: "Actually, I don't like being a big boss at all. I just want to plant a few acres of land to live a small life. I didn't expect that the bigger the stall, the greater the responsibility, and I feel a little powerless."

"Do you want to leave the farm?"

"Sometimes I just think about it..."

"Then shall I take you away?"

"Go? Where can we go?"

Chaoge sat up excitedly, turned his head sideways to stare at those bright eyes, and said solemnly: "The world is so big, there is room for us everywhere! Let's go to the northern and southern borders, the Eastern Sea and the Western Ocean, ride horses and boats, ski and climb Mountain!"

—Come, dear one, my steed is ready!Come on, while the dark clouds still cover the bright moon!come quickly!Let's go to it by night!

"That's great, it's really a trip to go away..."

"Yes, we can be together!"

"But I can't."

"why?"

Chao Ge's heart that had just been pleasantly surprised fell into disappointment again.

Ye Jianqiu smiled bitterly: "Because I have a responsibility on my shoulders. Now I have relatives here, they love me, and I want to stay by their side. Although my career is threatened, I have to face it bravely." A large group of people on the farm are watching me, waiting for me to make up my mind, I can't just leave... No matter how difficult the situation is in the future, I will never leave."

Chaoge's heart was both disappointed and happy.

To Chao Ge's delight, Ye Jianqiu's words showed his attitude, he will not leave this world.But what makes Chaoge disappointed is that the main reason why he didn't leave is not because of himself.

"You are strong."

"I do not have choice."

Chao Ge sighed, kissed his forehead again and said, "Sleep, I'll take you to eat well tomorrow, and we'll have a meeting after we've eaten and drank enough."

"to make!"

At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door heavily, and the sound of "dong dong" was very urgent.After Chao Ge cursed secretly, he covered Ye Jianqiu's mouth: "Don't pay attention to him, we won't go out when the sky is falling!"

Because he couldn't hear the response from inside, Lao Mu who knocked on the door ran to the window of the tent and shouted: "Guan Ye, Guan Shi Ye, come out quickly, someone is coming from your house!"

Ye Jianqiu pushed Chaoge's hand away and shouted, "Which one is it?"

"Your sister!"

Big girl?Is there something urgent at home?

Is it picking cream?Did that girl run out of anger in the mansion?

Ye Jianqiu got up and asked worriedly: "Which girl is it?"

"It's that Ye Wanzhen!"

"Let her go!"

Ye Jianqiu lay back on the bed annoyed, and pulled up the quilt to cover her head.Chao Ge grinned and hugged him tightly with the quilt, and teased in a low voice, "Guan Shi Ye, my Manager Ye Da, that little ghost-like girl from your hometown is here to make trouble again!"

Ye Jianqiu mumbled under the quilt and said: "I don't want to see her, you go and send her away."

Lao Mu yelled out of the window again: "Guan Ye, your sister was brought by Mr. Shi, the inspector, and they are waiting at the door of your tent!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jianqiu threw off the quilt and sat up "teng".
