Chapter 36 Where Are My Potatoes?
"You and your aunt Nu work hard, it's not difficult to give me a younger brother, right?"
As soon as Yun Zhao remembered that he had become the target of public criticism, he was terrified.
"Your aunt wants to give birth to a boy until she dies."
"Huh? Sister-in-law gone? ”
"Yes, poor woman, gave birth to three girls and lived for a ......"
"Remarry...... Ahh
Before Yun Zhao could finish his words, his body was kicked into the flower bed.
The moon season in the flower bed is blooming, and the hard thorns on the branches are sharp, Yun Zhao was fished out of the flower bed by Fu Bo with a smile, and after pulling out the thorns, he slapped Yun Zhao's ass and said, "Good job!" If you continue like this, your sixth uncle will really treat you as his own son.
I told the eldest lady a long time ago that you don't have to worry about this matter of the Yin Clan, as long as you get along well with your sixth uncle, in the end, it will be a blood relative, and everything will be yours at that time, she always doesn't listen! ”
Yun Zhao smiled: "I really like Sixth Uncle. ”
Fu Bo looked at Yun Zhao and laughed: "Yes, that's it, that's it, it's like this, you're not a little better than your father." ”
"I really like Uncle Six!"
Fauber smiled even harder, and his eyes that were always squinted were even more attentive.
Mr. Xu was in high spirits today, and after teaching the children, he stood on the long case and drew a picture of the Buddha.
Yun Zhao didn't know this Buddha, so he asked Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu said that this was not the Buddha, but a sage who he drew from the painting method of the Buddha's murals.
"Who is this sage? Confucius? It's not like that. Yun Zhao also didn't know this sage, at least, the sage with ravines on his head didn't look like a person, if a person's head looked like this, I'm afraid it would be difficult to be called a person.
"It's not Confucius, it's not Lao Zhuang, it's not Yan Hui, it's the appearance of a sage in my heart......"
Mr. Xu was a little sad.
"Why do you want to draw such a sage?"
"I really hope that there is such a sage who can solve the doubts in my heart and save the coming troubled times.
When we were young, we made a grand vow to set up our hearts for this heaven and earth, to establish a life for this living people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations...... Thirty years have passed, and I have not done anything, and I still have to watch the building collapse and the lives of the people in ruins...... But there is nothing that can be done. ”
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment, rolled up the painting and hugged it in his arms and said, "Give this painting to the students!" ”
"Your schoolwork hasn't been good lately!"
"It's because I don't want to do my homework!"
"Why do you want to do your homework?"
"Because you want to live first...... Mr. ”
"Did the boar spirit tell you that the days ahead would be so difficult?"
"No one can escape...... Half of them will die. ”
Mr. Xu was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "After Zhu Ming finishes, who can manage the world with great talent?" ”
Yun Zhao smiled bitterly: "It is likely to be the worst ending of the worst." ”
"Oh, that's the rogue sitting in the world...... Well, the painting is yours. ”
Yun Zhao didn't understand why Mr. said that the worst ending was for Liukou to sit in the world, but he immediately woke up to the fact that in Mr.'s choice, there was never an option for Nurhachi's family.
He thought that the chaos in the world was already terrifying, that the collapse of Zhu Ming's rivers and mountains was the ultimate he could imagine, that the destruction of lives was the most terrible thing in the world, and that when a powerful figure like Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, the literati would usher in another catastrophe...... This is the ultimate that his eyes can see, and his chest can fantasize.
A sharp pain came from his buttocks, and Yun Zhao's small body flew in the air for a while before his buttocks fell to the ground, rubbing a full three feet on the yellow earth.
"How dare you wander when you're facing the enemy?"
Uncle Yun Meng's ugly face appeared in front of Yun Zhao, and of course, he was brought up again.
Yun Yang was about to be crushed to death by the green bricks on his back, shouting to support his body with his arms, one of Yun Juan's legs was hung high, the crotch of his pants had been torn, and the finch was hanging weakly to the side, he had to use this leg to pull up the green bricks on the other side of the rope to be more comfortable.
Yun Shu, Yun Shu is still running, as for the other brothers...... Each has its own tragic situation.
When Fauber was training, everyone could still be coquettish and lazy, and Uncle Robber began to take over the training...... No one has a good life, go home and tell your father, your father and mother dare to say a word more, and the robber uncle even beats her father and mother......
Yun Zhao hadn't shed tears for a long time, although his mind had matured, his body was still young, and crying was not controlled by reason at all, it was instinctively controlled.
So, when it hurts, he can't help but cry.
And then the pain will intensify again, because bandit robbers are not human at all!!
The heat in Guanzhong has continued, and the emergence rate of millet and millet planted on the hillside is very low, and only the seedlings in the paddy fields are still the same, and it has become a conclusion that the harvest of this year's autumn grain will not be too good.
Therefore, the stone wall at the mouth of Yun's Zhuangzi was ordered by his mother to be raised by one zhang, and at the same time, he ordered the villagers in Zhuangzi that this year, no grain will be studied, and all grain will be purchased by Yun's big house.
No matter how much grain is collected, the Yun family's grain depot is still empty, like a bottomless pit, even if Fu Bo transports all the grain that originally belonged to the Qian family back, the grain depot is still empty.
The shopkeepers of several grain stores in Chang'an came to the house, and the mother met them in the atrium, no matter how much they pleaded, the mother still had no intention of taking out the grain and selling it.
"The summer grain has just been harvested, and the price of a load of grain is already three taels of silver."
During the meal, Yun Niang glanced at her son and lamented in front of the sisters in the family.
"Auntie, why don't you sell it if the price is high?"
The tall Yunxia cautiously asked the doubts in her heart.
"The price is high? Next year, the price will be even higher! When the time comes, a load of grain can be exchanged for two girls like you! ”
Yunxia immediately lowered her head, looking very afraid that the eldest mother would sell her.
Yun Zhao looked at the trembling sisters, and finally decided to take the rice bowl to eat outside, it was too depressing here.
With Yun Meng and Yun Fu, eating together is much happier, at least listening to their conversation, Yun Zhao's heart is full of hope.
"Monk Peng now knows that he has suffered a loss, and thinks that our family only needs food and livestock to let him take advantage, now, hehe...... I wanted to buy grain from my grandfather, but I didn't sell it for any amount, and when he was hungry and dying of hunger with a pile of gold and silver, my grandfather went to pick up the silver at that time. ”
"You have to be careful that Monk Peng jumps off the wall in a hurry!"
"Jump, just waiting for him to jump, the government is now staring at Weinanyuan, and he wants to get food from Weinanyuan, jumping out at this time, the government is just going to take him to the knife.
Our family is now full of people who farm, there are no robbers, the eldest lady even has to pay this year's taxes, a Yunjia Zhuangzi has thousands of acres of land, and there is a famous ancestor, how much can you pay? ”
Fu Bo put down the bowl of rice with a smile and said, "The surplus grain from the surrounding villages has come into our house, right?" ”
Yun Meng smiled: "Everything that can be collected has been collected, and there are not many gold and silver accumulated in the village over the years that have been spent by me." ”
Yun Fu nodded and said, "What do you want those things for?" If you accumulate too much, it will attract the covetousness of military households, and only food is the foundation of your life in this troubled world! ”
Yun Zhao was very excited as he ate and listened to the two elders talking, put down his rice bowl and said, "We should save more food." ”
Yun Meng raised his hand and rubbed Yun Zhao's round head and said, "This is a truth that everyone knows, so you don't need to say more." ”
Yun Zhao smiled: "In the future, will we plant corn and potatoes?" ”
Yunfu frowned and said, "Corn? Potato? Haven't heard of it! Children don't want to talk nonsense, although millet and millet are severely drought, after all, there is still a bit of harvest, the two things you said Fu Bo I have never heard of in the land that I have planted all my life. ”
Yun Zhao heard Fu Bo say this, and smiled slightly, the yellow earth is very suitable for planting these two things, especially potatoes, as long as the seeds are found, Yun Zhao feels that the famine problem may be greatly alleviated.
He remembered very clearly that these two things were introduced to China at this time, how could they not be found?
