Chapter 725: Overseeing the Harvest
Wu Yong took the ledger in his hand, and at the same time motioned to Hua Rong to move back the bags of beans that had been harvested first, so as not to cause any losses caused by weather changes.
Hua Rong really didn't think of this before, and said a little helplessly: "We don't have a special granary here." ”
Wu Yong pointed out: "There is no need for a special granary, this kind of thing is very easy to store, as long as it is not soaked directly in water, it will not mildew, just find an empty room." ”
After listening to Wu Yong's words, Hua Rong motioned to the deputy general to stay and take the people to move the harvested grain back first, and he took Wu Yong to the dining place first.
After arriving at the restaurant, the waiters brought up the toiletries.
After Wu washed his hands and face with his own hands, he took out the previous account book and pushed it in front of Hua Rong: "This is your harvest today." "This is an account book supervised by the supervising army, and if General Hua wants to, he can directly send it to the grain collector as an account book.
Hua Rong took it with both hands, opened it and looked at it, the number on it was much more than he had estimated before, and he was very surprised: "It seems that our harvest this time is very good, maybe we can leave some of this kind of food for our own soldiers when the time comes." ”
The amount of grain they need to hand in in the first year of reclamation is not much, and the minimum requirement is to hand in the original number of seeds, of course, if they pay more, there will be corresponding rewards.
Hua Rong planned to hand over half of the extra food, and the other half would be left to improve the food for his subordinates.
Wu Yong was not too surprised by this result, after all, the yield of this kind of beans itself is quite high, even if the people who grow them are novices, they will give enough rewards, not to mention that he also gave some guidance halfway.
Hua Rong also knew that it was impossible to get such a good result by himself and others, and after being happy, he walked up to Wu Yong and said gratefully: "This reclamation is still thanks to your several instructions, if you have anything you want, you can tell me now, and I will find it for you directly when the time comes." Of course, in the subsequent recitals, I will not forget to add her name.
Regarding Hua Rong's words, Wu Yong hurriedly said: "I don't lack anything at the moment, you should first get the autumn harvest done during this time, and if I think of something, I will tell you." ”
What I want most at the moment is to have a good lunch, and it is also very exhausting to help record on the ground, Wu reached out and touched his shriveled stomach.
Hua Rong noticed Wu Yong's action, and hurriedly asked the waiter to urge the Huotou Army, if the main meal was not ready, it would be good to have some snacks first.
The waiter went out for a spin and brought in a few cold cuts, as well as a soup made with fresh eggs and meat.
Hua Rong beckoned everyone to sit down, and personally scooped a bowl of soup for Wu Yong, saying: "This is the best soup for the Huotou Army recently, the taste may not be as good as the chefs, but they are all the freshest ingredients." ”
Wu Yong smelled the taste of the soup, it was really good, after tasting it, there was indeed no peculiar smell, it was the taste of the ingredients themselves, and the taste was more prominent when eaten with cold dishes.
When the others saw this, they ate it themselves, and they were almost half-full before the hot dishes and staples were served.
At the beginning of the harvest season, there are a lot more things to eat, this lunch, Wu Yong and they are all very satisfied, and in the afternoon they continue to be busy with the harvest.
It wasn't until the evening that Wu Yong returned to the mountain, and when he was at the foot of the mountain, Wu Yong received a letter from Zhu Gui.
Sitting down in his room, Wu Yong opened the envelope with a little curiosity, he had just returned from the summer resort, who could write a letter to find him?
The letter was written by Lord Gong, he did not go to the summer vacation together this time, but stayed in Beijing to assist in political affairs, and this time he wrote to Wu Yong for the autumn harvest.
In the letter, Lord Gong invited Wu Yong to supervise the harvest together, which was a task given to him by the official family, allowing him to choose his own collaborators, and Lord Gong immediately thought of Wu Yong, the two had already had a satisfactory cooperation before, and this joint action would definitely be successfully completed.
Lord Gong's words were very sincere, and Wu Yong didn't have any other important things to do recently, so he could only agree.
Spreading out the paper, Wu Yong replied to Master Gong, made an appointment with him for the meeting, and after letting people quickly send it to him, he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and continued to be busy with some trivial matters on the mountain.
The time soon came to the day that Wu Yong and Lord Gong agreed, Wu Yong went to Zhu Gui's side in advance to wait, although Lord Gong had been here before, but he still had to greet him.
After Zhu Gui asked Wu about the purpose of using it, he directly asked the kitchen and the stable to get ready.
Zhu Gui asked teasingly: "You don't seem to have spent much time in the mountains this year?"
Wu Yong was a little helpless: "How could it not be, every time I come back, they will urge me to deal with things." ”
However, there is no way to be busy in the past few years, Wu Yong has been saying that he will wait until he is stable before resting, and he doesn't know when this wish will come true.
Sometimes, Wu Yong also thought about being passive and slacking off, but when he thought about the consequences of his relaxation, he didn't dare.
Zhu Gui and the others can understand Wu Yong's busyness, but they are a little worried that they can't help, she will be tired one day if she keeps running around like this.
All they can do is to prepare better supplies for Wu Yong to take with them, and arrange more stable horses for her to travel, in addition, Zhu Gui also knows that Ruan's second sister-in-law often secretly sews things like peace charms into them when they customize clothes for Wu, so that Wu Yong can be safe and sound on the road.
Wu Yong can still detect their behavior, but he has never pierced it, and every time he is outside, he will remember to bring them something back.
While they were chatting, Lord Gong's carriage appeared in their sight, Wu Yong took a few steps forward, and saw Lord Gong skillfully jumping off the carriage, so he greeted him: "Are you okay along the way?"
Lord Gong nodded: "Yes, what about you, I heard that you also went to the summer resort, the weather over there is very comfortable, right?" As a person who was left in the capital, he was a little envious of those who could go on vacation, and his words were unconsciously a little sour.
Wu Yong also honestly admitted: "It's really good, but we don't just go on vacation." ”
Zhu Gui hurriedly said at this time: "Let's talk again in the house, it's still a little hot outside at this time." ”
