After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

◎The two looked at each other, Cheng Cheng dodged. ◎

Gu Zeyu went to rent an oxcart anyway, the county government office was too far away from the village, and the government servants also sat on it, because there were three government servants, and the village chief offered to sit in the front, saying that he was comfortable outside.

On the way to Gu's Village, Gu Zeyu chatted a little more with a few yamen servants.

The leading yamen servant was Chu Yun, a shrewd man. In his words, he said that he admired a man like Gu Zeyu who had served in the army and served the country.

Gu Zeyu also chatted with them about his deeds in the army, and he became acquainted with them along the way. They are all bright and cheerful, and they became brothers after a while.

Gu Zeyu asked inadvertently, what is the best way to find out the whereabouts of a person?That man has been hiding for a long time because he owes usury, but he doesn't have a lot of money on him, so he probably won't go too far.

Chu Yun pondered for a while, and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to find such a person, and it will take a lot of energy."

Gu Zeyu handed out a purse silently, and said at the same time: "I will give these brothers a drink. It is also a laborious job for me to help me measure the land."

Chu Yun naturally took the purse and weighed it. It was almost ten taels, so it was hard to tell that Gu Zeyu was quite up to the mark.

Chu Yun smiled, and he pondered: "However, no matter how difficult it is to find this person, there is a way. First of all, if you want to leave our county, you must have a document. Otherwise, you will not be able to get out. I guess that person will be considered as leaving the county." I guess it won’t be far, so I might as well check the customs clearance documents in the county, and then ask the soldiers guarding the gate to see if they have any impression of that person, and then I will know his whereabouts.”

"Although it is troublesome, as long as you are a person, you will leave traces in this world. If you look slowly, you will always find it."

"Who do you want to find, maybe I can help you find out, I still have some face in this county."

Gu Zeyu said: "I want to find Gu Gang, do you know this person?"

Chu Yun didn't have any impression, but the tall and thin yamen servant next to him said, "Gu Gang, I've heard of this person before. Gan Xin borrowed usury again, bought goods and prepared to make a comeback, but there is still no improvement, and he may be able to repay the usury if he sells the store, but he is not willing to pay all his net worth and run away with the money. "

Gu Zeyu said: "Do you know where this person is?"

The tall and thin yamen servant chuckled and said, "I don't know about that. I only know that his wife's natal home is in Qiushui Town, the next county, which is relatively remote. I don't know if he will hide there."

Gu Zeyu thought about it for a while, but he felt that it was very possible. The transportation in this country is inconvenient, and those remote places are very poor. Some people have never walked out of the mountains in their lives, and they probably don't know the outside situation. It would be really cool if they hid there. Not easy to spot.

He thanked him and said that he would invite some brothers to drink when he was free.

Several yamen servants said it was nothing, and they didn't help much.

After a while, they finally arrived at Gujia Village. Everyone got out of the car and walked for a while before reaching the vicinity of the Xiaohuan Mountain. It was indeed a wasteland, but it looked okay. The soil quality was above average, but it was all dry land.

Several yamen servants were well-prepared, took the rope and some other tools, and soon began to measure the land. One of them had extraordinary eyesight, and quickly directed the people to measure the land. It took a total of nearly an hour.

During the period, people in the village watched the fun curiously because they saw the servants coming. The uncle's family also came, and everyone talked a lot. When they saw the land being measured, they couldn't help but ask. , Just say that you don’t know, don’t know, don’t understand, and deny it three times.

Seeing that he refused to speak, the villagers didn't force him. Anyway, they would know sooner or later. They just stood watching from a distance, but they were still some distance away from the yamen servants.

Gu Zeyu thought about it and decided to announce that the [-] mu of land belonged to him. He felt that it was meaningless to hide it from him. He would definitely give priority to the people in the village if he had to hire someone to help him with the farming. If you have more confidence, you can carry out your own plan.

So he told the village head that there is no need to keep it secret, hoping to use the mouth of the village head to publicize the matter.

The village head naturally agreed, although he didn't know why he changed his mind, but he also agreed to help and said, beat the villagers, after all, there are these people?韩@及@投@谁 doesn’t like other people’s kindness. Those who have pink eye disease don’t know what kind of troubles will happen.

After measuring the land and setting up boundary markers, it's done.

Gu Zeyu also said that he would invite a few yamen servants to have a drink at home, but they all shied away, saying that they were burdened by business and had to go back to the county yamen early, and drink the wine next time.

Because the people in the village were watching, Gu Zeyu didn't spend money to buy them a drink, and planned to talk about it next time when he was free.

So several yamen servants were about to leave. Gu Zeyu had asked the ox cart driver to wait, so he took them back to the county without any trouble.

Gu Zeyu went to say hello to his uncle and the others, and they were going to go home together.

I also chatted with the people in the village. The village chief just made it clear that the five hundred acres of land belonged to Gu Zeyu. Everyone knew that he was rewarded for his service in the army. Although he was very envious, but On the battlefield, life is licking blood on the tip of a knife. These farmers are afraid, and they don't have the ability to do so. They just say a few words to acidify.

Most of the villagers are He Xi, chatting with Gu Zeyu happily.

Among them, the eunuchs and aunts were the most active, saying that their daughters or relatives' daughters were very beautiful and matched Gu Zeyu very well. Later, when they heard that Gu Zeyu said that he liked his brother, they quickly changed the subject, saying that his brother or The elder brother from my natal family is also very handsome, and can cook a good meal, why don't you just look at each other and get in touch to see if you like it.

Gu Zeyu didn't agree, but only said that the land needs to be cultivated recently, and he was very busy, so he didn't have time to think about it.

Cheng Cheng also followed his mother to watch the fun. Seeing that Gu Zeyu was so popular, he felt an indescribably sour feeling in his heart.

He actually felt that Gu Zeyu was interested in him, but he never said he liked him, but his behavior was a bit ambiguous, but he didn't pierce the window paper, so he could only watch the group of aunts and aunts enthusiastically introduce his brother and sister. The girl is for Gu Zeyu.

At this time, Cheng Cheng didn't realize why he thought so. In fact, Cheng Cheng's younger brother had a possessive desire for Gu Zeyu, and possessive desire was the beginning of liking and love.

Gu Zeyu was talking to his uncle, and with a casual glance, he saw Cheng Cheng's younger brother staring at him. He didn't even blink, and was very focused until the two of them met. Like a cat that was caught stealing, he quickly turned his head and talked to his mother, not daring to look at Gu Zeyu again.

Gu Zeyu thought, is Cheng Cheng guilty because he was caught peeking at him all the time.

After Cheng Cheng met Gu Zeyu's eyes, his heart beat faster for some reason, his ears turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Zeyu again.

Gu Zeyu dealt with A Mu and others surrounding him in a few words, and then walked away with his uncle. The uncle said that he wanted to go to his house for dinner. He said that today Gu Zeyu was measuring the land and celebrating it. By the way, he also sat down to discuss this What should be planted on [-] acres of land?

This is about to prepare for spring plowing, which is a major event related to the farmers' meals.Plowing in spring, sowing in summer, harvesting in autumn, and storing in winter, the four do not lose time, so the five grains are endless, and the people have more food.

Spring plowing must hurry up and plant crops on the land as soon as possible. Taking advantage of this season of recovery and growth of all things, bury seeds or plant seedlings, wait for autumn harvest and winter storage.

Gu Zeyu didn't know much about farming, but he also knew the importance of spring plowing. He planned to plant some wheat like the villagers, but he didn't plant all the wheat. Otherwise, it would be troublesome just to harvest the [-] mu of land.

So he was going to plant some sweet potatoes and potatoes, which were not found in Gujia Village so far.

However, Zhao Kingdom does have these two crops, because he used to eat them when he was in Yucheng, because the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is high, and the fruits are buried deep in the ground, so it is not easy to pick them, so it is not good for Hu people to rob food. It is not a staple food such as wheat or rice, and it is not easy to eat if it is stolen, and it is too large to take away, so when robbing it, the barbarian also looked at the staple food and snatched it.

At that time, Gu Zeyu had a heart in mind. He wanted to bring these two crops to his hometown. Gujia Village can grow both rice and wheat. It belongs to the border between the north and the south. Both crops grow well, but the yield is not high. , I usually grow some sorghum and corn at home. These two crops have high yields, but they are coarse grains, and the taste is not very good, but I don’t care about those when I eat them. Farmers usually eat black sorghum for three meals a day. Momos or yellow corn momos.

Even better is to add white flour to sorghum flour and corn flour, and mix it together to make a soft and delicious mixed bun. The best is rice and white flour buns, but farmers are willing to eat them only during the autumn harvest. In the last few days, make up your body.

When Gu Zeyu left, he actually agreed with a few of his own soldiers that if he wrote to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, he would help him buy some sweet potato seedlings and potatoes from Yucheng, and then ask someone to transport them to Gujia Village. Side, the reward will be paid to them.

The soldiers have also been with him for several years, so they are naturally willing to help him. Although the distance between Yucheng and Gujia Village is very far, if you find a caravan, you can still transport them there. At worst, you can transport more sweet potato seedlings. , less potatoes.

Gu Zeyu told his uncle's family about his thoughts. The uncle had never seen the two crops of sweet potatoes and potatoes. In fact, he didn't want his nephew to take risks. What if one of them didn't survive?That would delay the spring plowing.

However, Gu Zeyu insisted, and said that the two crops had high yields and good taste, so he wanted to try it in his own land. If it failed, he should dig it out and plant something else, such as some vegetables or other crops. The land is just about to be reclaimed this year, so I don't expect a good harvest in the first year, as long as I can pay taxes and hire people to farm the land.

The uncle saw that he had made up his mind, so it was not easy to stop him. He just said that he should plant less of those two unfamiliar crops and grow more wheat.

Gu Zeyu naturally agreed, and he couldn't grow much, because the seedlings and potatoes were not lucky. At most, [-] acres of sweet potatoes and [-] acres of potatoes were planted, and the conditions were relatively sparse.

However, Gu Zeyu himself has given great hope to these two crops. It is best if they can be successfully planted. If not, it doesn't matter to try.

The author says:

In fact, potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown, as well as wheat and rice.This point of writing is already against common sense, but if the plot requires it, it should be considered as capable.

Generally speaking, spring wheat is planted in the Northeast.In central my country, such as Henan, winter wheat is grown.

In my article, I initially assumed that both wheat and rice can be grown, that is, in the transition zone between the north and the south, such as Xinyang, Henan.
