"Seven or eight years ago, I was a soldier in Jiangling, Cao Zuoshi, Ye County guarded the county in April, called me to accompany me, then I knew that the scenery of the two thousand stone officials traveled, I thought at that time, one day, I will also be a feudal official, feel the glory, and the responsibilities on my back, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly......"

In late May, it was estimated that Xianyang's edict was almost in Linzi, and Heifu also began his own trip to the county that had been postponed for a month.

Ye Zijin sorted out his clothes, and she was also used to the life of gathering less and leaving more, and quipped: "At that time, did the lover ever think that he would be Ye Junshou's son-in-law?" ”

Heifu laughed, "I really thought about it. “

Ye Zijin covered his mouth and smiled: "The lover turned out to have a premeditated plan. ”

Heifu pinched his wife's sharp chin: "The best cabbage, how can you do it without worrying?" ”

Ye Shi blinked and said, "What is cabbage?" ”

"Well, it's a kind of wild herb, the Central Plains vegetable food is not as much as Nanjun, I'm asking the farmer to try planting, maybe when I come back, I can eat ......"

After the husband and wife finished their daily jokes, Heifu said to Ye Zijin again: "This time I will go to the county, I will bring Weiyang with me." ”

Yang is the son of Heifu's eldest brother, when he first came to the Qin Dynasty, Yang was only a five or six-year-old child, and now ten years have passed, and Yang has grown into a sixteen-year-old tall boy.

Because of the rapid growth of their family's status and wealth, Yang who had to get up early ten years ago to yawn to help his mother cook rice was also sent to the school early, and now he can read and write, and he also went to Yuzhang County to learn a good halberd technique from Dongmen Leopard.

When Heifu asked his wife to come to Jiaodong, he brought this nephew with him, as the eldest grandson of their family, Heifu didn't want Weiyang to achieve nothing, and wanted to take him with him to teach carefully.

"Around the beloved, you also need your own family."

Ye Zijin understands that Heifu's family now has a big business, for example, when it comes to the sugar mill, even Chen Ping, Gongao and others are inconvenient to interfere, and they have to do it with their own relatives.

When Heifu put on a robe and crown belt, and came to the gate of the county government, he saw that his nephew Wei Yang was already wearing a strong suit, wearing armor and a sword, and was talking with Cao Shen, and when he saw Heifu coming out, he immediately came to salute: "Middle father...... Junjun! “

This is Heifu's instruction, when he is in front of people, do not call him his middle father, but call him by his official name.

Heifu asked Wei Yang to share the car with him, and seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, he said, "You didn't sleep well last night?" “

"I haven't slept all night...... "Yu Yang touched his head, a little embarrassed.

Weiyang traveled eastward all the way, saw all kinds of famous mountains and rivers, and increased his knowledge, but he came to Jiaodong for two months, but he could only stay in Jimo City, and now I heard that Heifu was willing to take him to the county, not to mention how excited he was, before leaving, he didn't sleep well all night.

"When I think of this time with the county and the county to see the legendary sea, I can't help myself." The young man regarded this trip as a new journey.

Heifu smiled and said: "It's not surprising to see too much, and you even think that it's just Yun Mengze, which is several times bigger." ”

Wei Yang was surprised: "Jun Jun has seen the sea? ”

Heifu smiled but didn't answer, of course he had seen it, and he saw the sea of Shandong, in his previous life, after graduating from high school, he went to Qingdao to see the sea, drank draft beer, and ate prawns.

However, after 2,000 years of vicissitudes, the beach he once stood on may still be submerged in the sea.

"After the county is effective, I must use my power for personal gain and build a sea-view house there......"

Thinking like this, Heifu's huge convoy also left Jimo, and he let the most trustworthy Changshi Chen Ping stay behind, with Xiao He and Kuzhi as support, with Chen Ping's means, it should be no problem to guard the acre and three points of Jimo.

In history, this person only left his name as "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", as if he had no ability, but after a few months of contact, Heifu found that Cao Shen has his own skills, this person is not only rough and orderly, but also has a good ability, has a brave and fearless side, and also has a careful and calm time.

Heifu didn't know that in the original history, Cao Shen was originally famous for his military exploits, and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, calculating the merits of the ministers, Cao Shen accumulated two kingdoms and one hundred and twenty-two counties; There are two kings, three phases, six generals, and one each of Da Mo Ao, the county guard, Sima, Hou, and Yushi......

In the end, Cao Shen was wounded by seventy, conquering the city, and having the most merits, should be the first. was only forcibly suppressed by Han Gaozu, and the theory of a meritorious person and a meritorious dog successfully gave the first meritorious hero to Wenchen Xiao He.

As if it was fate, Lao Cao started from Pei County, to the court, and was always pressed by Lao Xiao, to be the second in 10,000 years, this goods may have been indignant at first, but then he also figured it out, others said that he "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", and he also laughed it off, and he was willing.

But in this era, Cao Shen made a choice one step earlier than Xiao He, so he was very important, and the secret competition between him and Xiao He also became brothers on the mountain, each with his own ability.

……

After walking for a few miles, passing through the public fields west of Jimo City, Heifu stopped the carriage and horses, and went down to comfort the peasant disciples in this kind of experimental field.

Hundreds of acres of public land were all handed over to Xu Sheng and his colleagues, and at the suggestion of Heifu, they were divided into valleys dedicated to growing grains and improving cultivation techniques. and vegetable gardens for growing vegetables and improving varieties.

Compared to the last time Hefu visited, there was an extra small sapling on the edge of the field, which was a newly planted fruit tree......

But as the saying goes, ten years of trees, fruit trees have to wait for many years to bear fruit. The same is true for grains, Jiaodong can not compare with Jiangnan, can only be ripe once a year, and whether those intensive cultivation methods can increase production can be known in autumn.

But growing vegetables is different, the growth cycle is shorter, and different varieties can be planted throughout the year, so recently, Xu Sheng and several important disciples have focused their energy on the vegetable garden.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the garden industry in the Central Plains was very developed, and there were already people who specialized in cultivating vegetables and planting fruit trees, called "old gardens" and "field masters".

"These people are the contemporary Yuan Longping, the great druid......" Heifu felt that he had picked up a treasure.

He was very strong in the face of noble officials, but in front of the peasants, he was respectful and polite, without the slightest official authority. He also likes to show his low-level side, and Heifu even wore shorts and went barefoot on the ground to ask Xu Sheng about the farm......

Xu Sheng admired this attitude of the county guard, so if Heifu Dan had any small "proposals", he also believed it and let the disciples try it.

Heifu and the others walked into the vegetable garden, Xu Sheng brought the disciples in brown clothes to greet them, the two chatted for a while, Xu Sheng said that a month ago, the disciples of the sacrificial wine Xiao He organization room came to visit the vegetable garden, and some disciples from rich people actually regarded wheat seedlings as leeks, which really made Xu Sheng angry and funny.

"The four bodies are not diligent, and the grains are not divided, what they are talking about is these scholars, county guards, such people, even if they understand Qin Yan and know Qin officials, but once they are officials, how can they know the suffering of the people? Lao Yu thinks that the Qin officials in Guanzhong have done a good job in this regard, everything is based on agriculture first, and the officials are not ashamed of farming, this kind of good tradition can not be lost! ”

Heifu bowed: "Xu Gong's lesson is that every batch of public school disciples in the future should be sent to the field and personally cultivate for a few days, so that they can know the hardships of the meal on the plate!" ”

Well, by the way, I can also spread the song "Compassion for Nong" more widely, so that the name of Heifu County Shou Mercy Farmer is known to the world.

At this time, Yu Yang, who was beside Heifu, said: "In this world, there are really people who don't know the grains? ”

He suffered a lot when he was a child, went to the field with his parents, and accompanied his grandmother to pick fat and grow vegetables, so he felt that this was not an innate ability as a person?

Xu Sheng saw that this young man had a simple face and a strong figure, but he was wearing a samurai suit, and the sword on his waist was not bad, and it was worth a hundred gold, so he smiled and said:

"In the next life, depending on how you dress, you are either rich or expensive, and you can distinguish the grains?"

Wei Yang raised his head: "What are the five grains, I can even call the vegetables in the vegetable garden of my father-in-law." ”

Xu Sheng didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "You can tell me about it." ”

So, the young man who always liked to express himself pointed to the green vegetables in the field and read it.

"This is sunflower (winter amaranth), and it is okra that is planted in summer and harvested in autumn, and although it has a bitter taste, it is the most delicious (pickled vegetable)."

"There are weeds planted in the wheat fields, and the tender leaves can be boiled and eaten directly, but now they are a little old, and they are afraid that they will be difficult to chew and swallow. Therefore, most of the people who eat this thing are common people and subordinate concubines, so they are also called weed eaters, corresponding to meat eaters. ”

"The water's edge is celery, which is eaten as a fresh vegetable and is also used as 菹 (zū). Anlu County, Nanjun County, Wujia, the celery on the bank of Yunmengze tastes the most beautiful, uncle, the celery you have here, I'm afraid it's not as good as it! ”

Then, Wei Yang pointed out the neatly arranged green leeks with small white flowers, the white and green onions in the fields, and the mustard greens that had just sprouted......

"When I eat fish troll at home, I use shallots as a sauce in the spring and mustard in the fall." Saying that, Yu Yang missed Yun Mengze's fresh fish a little, but he still couldn't get used to eating sea fish.

After Wei Yang finished speaking one by one, Heifu reprimanded him and said, "Son, your mother is still growing these vegetables at home, how can you not know it?" Don't quit yet! ”

He apologized to Xu Sheng again: "This is my nephew who is not a weapon, he just came from Nanjun, and he doesn't know the etiquette, don't blame Xu Gong." ”

"No blame, no blame."

Xu Sheng liked the straightforward Wei Yang, and sighed: "The upbringing of the county guard family is really good, although they are rich, the children have not forgotten the matter of the field at the end of the year......

Heifu said: "What Xu Gong said is reasonable, I ask Xu Gong and the farmers to stay in Jiaodong, in addition to studying the method of intensive cultivation, so that the land can produce more grains, but also want more people to eat delicious vegetables." ”

As Wei Yang just pointed out, all kinds of vegetables have become an indispensable part of people's daily food. Not only nobles, but also commoners and slaves were more commonly used to supplement food shortages. There is a saying in Jiaodong: "The grain is not ripe for hunger, and the vegetables are not ripe for hunger." ”

A variety of vegetables can not only adjust the single dietary structure of the people, but also improve the quality of life.

But in these years, many high-yield vegetables have not yet appeared in later generations, although there are green onions and leeks, but there is no garlic, and other vegetables can only be used as seasonings, and no one can stand eating them at once.

It wasn't until Dong Ngai was introduced by Guan Zhong from Shanrong that he secured the position of the king of vegetables in this year.

Heifu has not eaten sunflower in the past ten years, and found that it contains mucus, and the taste is fatty and smooth after cooking. In these years, cooking vegetables rarely put oil, animal fat is rare, and ordinary people can't use it at all. And sunflower with its own mucus makes up for this deficiency very well.

And there is another point of sunflower, that is, it can be planted in all seasons, summer planting and autumn harvesting are okra, autumn planting and winter harvesting are winter milk, and spring sunflower is replanting in the first month. In ancient times, there was a lack of storage and preservation technology, and the advantages of sunflower in this regard were very obvious.

But even so, the taste and yield of sunflower vegetables, Heifu still did not dare to compliment.

Chinese cabbage in later generations, whether it is taste, yield, cold tolerance, easy storage, must throw a few streets of sunflower vegetables, if it can be cultivated, it is a great supplement to agriculture.

The point is, Heifu really wants to eat a vegetarian stir-fried cabbage or lamb stewed cabbage......

Therefore, Heifu proposed to Xu Sheng to use the ancestor of cabbage, the wild "woad", to cultivate the common Chinese cabbage in later generations, which is the key project of the farmer in the next few months!

After inspecting the vegetable garden, Heifu will go, Xu Sheng saw his battle, and knew that he was going to Xingxian, so he quipped:

"When the old man was in Guanzhong, he often heard that the county guard went to the county in April, and the workers and peasants persuaded the people, so as not to lose time, and now it is the middle of May, and the county guards are in the county, and it is late to ......."

But Heifu laughed, pointed to the vegetables in the garden, and said:

"The administration of this official is the same as growing vegetables in the old garden, all seasons, so why bother only in March and April?"

The first batch of disciples in the school has been released, the assassination case in Chunyu County has been ascertained, the gold mine in Huangxian County is about to be excavated, the corruption situation in each county has been figured out, and the deepest salt industry and robbers, Heifu has also found a solution......

After he came to Jiaodong, he endured it for a few months, from nothing, to a hand of cards that he slowly accumulated in his hand, and it was time to play!

"I went to the county this time, just to sow vegetable seeds in the whole county, so that they can sprout and grow, and stay until autumn and winter, and the garden is full of edible green sunflower and white sapoo!"
