Chapter 133 Unreasonable Demands

Lantian County has changed a lot, and so has the wild boar family.

Two years ago, the female boar was accompanied by eight cubs.

This year, she had fourteen cubs with her.

She didn't get older, she lost one eye, but became more and more fierce.

When Yun Zhao walked up the bald mountain, she just glanced up, and then continued to lie on the boulder to measure her belly, Yun Zhao could see very clearly, there were countless fleas running through her hair.

Yun Zhao frowned and said to Qian Shaoshao beside him: "Tell the villagers that they are not allowed to occupy the place where wild boars bathe in the future." ”

Qian Shaoshao snorted and looked at Yun Zhao in surprise and said, "Young Master, you can't really be possessed by wild boar spirits, right?" ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "I also want to be a wild boar spirit, and Xiaoao Mountain Forest is actually a good choice." ”

"How often do you come to see this big boar?"

"Well, come when you have time, after all, it's my first friend."

"What's wrong with its eyes?"

"There's a big boar that's in love with it, and he doesn't want to."

"Oh, what a pig!"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "It doesn't have to be Zhenlie, if you change a boar, its cub will die." ”

"Is that so?"

"I don't know, I guessed."

"I remember that wild boars are all in groups, in groups, and this sow is so strange, bringing a group of cubs by herself."

"The size of the pig herd is related to the lack of food around them, and it is also related to the good or bad people around them.

You see, other wild boars will be hunted by the villagers, and this wild boar is not touched because of my connection, so it knows that it is safe here, so its range of activities is fixed on the bald mountain.

At the same time, other wild boars also knew that if they dared to stay here, they would be hunted by the villagers, so they did not dare to come. ”

Qian Shaoshao thought for a long time and said slowly: "Are you saying that we are still talking about this wild boar?" ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "It's all the same. ”

"When will we be able to roar the mountains and forests?"

Yun Zhao patted Qian Shaoshao's shoulder and said, "When all of you little wild boars grow up, it's time for us to explore the new world." ”

"In other words, we work so hard to do things, and in the end we do the same thing as this wild boar, which is frustrating to hear."

Yun Zhao smiled, beckoned to the big wild boar, refused the kind offer to invite him to drink milk with Qian Shaoshao, and went down the bald mountain with his hands behind his back.

As long as he sees this wild boar, Yun Zhao's mood will always be a little better.

He felt that he had initially overcome the disaster, and although it was only a place in Lantian County, it still gave him a strong sense of accomplishment.

However, he also knew that the world would not be better because of the efforts he made in Lantian County.

He knew that in August, Sun Chengzong would suffer the worst defeat at the Daling River, and from this battle, the Ming Dynasty would no longer be able to advance Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji would take advantage of this good opportunity to march into Korea and Mongolia to complete his initial arrangements.

From now on, Huang Taiji can easily plunder the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty has no power to fight back.

He also knew that in the eight years of Chongzhen, "there was a drought in the north and water in the south, locusts were everywhere, and there was a great hunger in many places".

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, "from Huai to the north to Jinan, the bark was eaten up".

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the whole country had "great drought, great locusts, great hunger, great chaos, and cannibalism".

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, "the epidemic, thousands of miles from north to south, north to Saiwai, south to the Yellow River, ten rooms are rarely escaped."

He knows even more that Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, Cao Cao, these people will really appear on the stage of the Ming Dynasty, until the entire Ming Dynasty is turned upside down. ”

Yun Zhao thought that he was a participant in history, and in the face of these major events, he sadly found that he was only a bystander of history.

Although he went deep into it, he had no power to return to heaven, and he knew that disaster was about to happen, but he couldn't say a word.

It's like another space person, screaming "danger" through an enchantment but no one listens, watching him slide into the abyss but unable to do anything.

Back in Zhuangzi, Yun Zhao finally met Huang Yongfa, a giant merchant from Zhangjiakou who had come to discuss exchanging salt for grain.

originally thought that this person would be a white-faced fat businessman, but when Yun Meng met this person, Yun Zhao turned into a little guy and watched from the sidelines, only to find that as long as he is a successful person, he has an extraordinary side.

This person is more than eight feet tall, and he has a very good way of moving, sitting and lying down, even when he is sitting on a chair and talking and laughing with Yun Meng, he still straightens his waist.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a loud voice, he is more like a horse thief than a businessman.

"He's a horse thief."

When Yun Zhao went out, he happened to meet the injured Izuma, and when he heard Yun Zhao's muttering, Izumo Ye just glanced at Huang Yongfa who was sitting in the hall and concluded that he was a horse thief.

His left arm was injured and he was still unable to move, but it didn't seem to prevent him from riding.

"How so?"

"Do you think he sits in a chair like he's riding a horse?"

Yun Zhao looked back and nodded.

"Do you think his back is straight?"

"That's right."

"Are you looking at where his feet are placed?"

Yun Zhao nodded again.

The master smiled and said, "I'm the same!" ”

"Why can't he be a cavalryman like you?"

"The cavalry in that place in Zhangjiakou is a horse thief itself! There is no distinction between soldiers and thieves, so ah, it is not wrong to say that he is a horse thief. ”

Yun Zhao only knew that Huang Yongfa was a big businessman in Zhangjiakou before, and he was inextricably linked with Jiannu, but he didn't expect this guy to be a horse thief, which is very interesting.

As for whether the master wronged him, Yun Zhao felt that it didn't matter, anyway, he wanted to pit this guy well, if there was no good excuse, it was really a little guilty to pit such a passionate businessman.

As long as a person who can do business gives a gift, he will definitely hit the heart of the recipient.

In many cases, it is possible to tell whether a businessman will do business or not from the gesture of gift-giving.

Obviously, Huang Yongfa is a businessman, seeing that the autumn is cool, he gave Yun Niang a set of white fox fur big hats, which Yun Niang couldn't put down, Qian Duoduo blew the fur with his mouth, and a whirlpool appeared on the white fur.

"Sister, I'll buy it for you later!"

"Nonsense, but it's just days? Such a fox fur can't be taken down without five hundred taels of silver in Yangzhou. ”

Qian Duoduo reluctantly put down the white fox fur, but he couldn't hide the look he longed for.

After visiting the water conservancy project in Lantian County, Huang Yongfa is ready to designate Lantian County as a grain producing area, and is willing to purchase 50,000 quintals of grain every year at a price 10 percent higher than the market price.

Among them, wheat is 3 percent, millet is 2 percent, millet is 3 percent, sorghum is 2 percent, and if the rest of the grain is insufficient, it can be replaced with sorghum.

There are only two requirements, that is, 50,000 quintals of grain must be given at a time, not piecemeal.

Another requirement is that the grain must be a new crop of the year, and the sorghum cannot be hulled. ”

After Yun Meng negotiated with Huang Yongfa, he came to the atrium to find Yun Zhao and Fu Bo to discuss the feasibility of this matter.

The shopkeeper of Xi'an Mansion was also there, and after listening to what Yun Meng said, he frowned and said: "Our Lantian County is not the main producing area of sorghum, why does he have to add sorghum to the grain?"

This thing is excellent for making wine, and eating sorghum rice after steaming is somewhat slashing, not as good as wheat, and even less than millet and millet.

Why is it that the price is comparable without having to shell it?

Could it be that this is the benefit that Huang Yongfa has given us? Do you want us to exchange millet and wheat for sorghum rice before selling it to him?

Master, I don't think it's possible, the business didn't do this! ”

The man who was squatting at the door smiled and said, "What's not easy to explain, sorghum is ground into flour and boiled into porridge is a good thing to feed the foals." ”

"Wouldn't millet porridge be better?"

"It's not as good as sorghum mush." Although he couldn't say a reason, he was very sure of the correctness of his answer.

Yun Zhao faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

However, this business is obviously of great benefit to the people of Lantian County.

"Does sorghum have to be hulled?" Yun Zhao still doesn't understand these things.

The cloud shopkeeper hurriedly said: "After the sorghum is beaten, there is another layer of hard shell outside, which is generally removed, and the shell can be used as seeds, but it is not delicious, if you want the sorghum to taste better, you have to peel it and turn the sorghum into sorghum rice."

In the past, the sorghum sold in our store was generally this kind of sorghum rice. ”

"Is it easy to remove the husk of sorghum rice?"

Yun Zhao seemed to have made a discovery, and continued to ask.

The cloud shopkeeper said: "It is not easy to dehull sorghum, it has to go through many processes, and if you don't remove the shell and hard skin, it is really difficult to eat. ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "I know, people want a batch of sorghum seeds, not any sorghum rice." ”
