Chapter 31: Clover Grass

In recent years, the Song Dynasty may have also obtained Western Xia horses from various channels, but in addition to the complete victory of Fuzhou, it is rare to get the real good horses produced by the North and South Hetao of Western Xia.

After the third snowfall, thirty-one good horses were led from the border to Yanzhou by the Zhu family.

The price is a little expensive, but there is not a single inferior horse, and there are even nine military horses inside.

Seeing the imprint on it, Zhu Huan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that the Western Xia army on the other side of the mountain was almost the same as the Song Dynasty army.

This caused a sensation, and the generals of the fort asked Cheng Kan for these horses.

At this time, Wang Ju was trying to write prose and poems on the sand table.

If he makes slight changes in time, place and background, even if he plagiarizes Da Su's "Water Tune Song Head" and "Nian Jiaonu", I believe that Da Su's inspiration suddenly arises one day, and he can only sigh: sigh at the end of the red cliff, Wang Ju writes the lyrics on it.

But plagiarism is not king.

For example, if you are a scholar and a doctor, the emperor of the Song Dynasty also likes to call the ministers to the palace for a banquet and make poems on the spot, or write poems for the most critical imperial examinations.

Even the terrible thing he learned was simplified characters, but in this era, it was traditional writing, which could be recognized, but it did not mean that he could write it.

What's even worse is the broken sentence. In this era, there is no punctuation, and often a broken mark and a comma are missing in a sentence, or the full stop is replaced with a question mark, and the meaning will be very different.

"Big brother, drink tea." The second girl walked in with a cup of hot tea.

Everyone thinks that Wang Ju is surprisingly good as a big brother.

Because there are many girls in the family, Wei Qi Niangzi sighed and wanted to exchange identities with the second girl.

But they all ignore the sensibility of Erniu and Sanniu.

Of course, this kind of brother-sister affection is reciprocal, Wang Ju has given love, and Erniu and Sanniu have also paid respect.

Taking a sip of tea, Wang Ju asked, "Erniu, what are those boys doing outside?" ”

"In a snowball fight, big brother, why do I feel that they are not as good as you?" The gap between the two is too big, even if Wang Ju is from a humble background, this huge contrast can even be seen by the eight-year-old second girl.

"Everyone has his own life, as long as he does not harm others, and lives with his own wisdom and labor, we must respect them."

"Their family has a rich ......"

"It can't be said that back in the days of their ancestors, they were all commoners like our family. There are even some families that are recent, such as the Zhu family, which was started by Zhu Erlang's grandfather, and it was not until his father did he become a wealthy family in Yanzhou. Nothing can be done as long as you work hard, and there can be nothing as long as you don't work hard. These are too deep for you, you call the three oxen back, and we will feed the sheep. ”

In the spring, Wang Ju came to the Song Dynasty, and saw that Wangjiazhai was so barren, and his heart was cold, so he meditated hard, so he found some alfalfa.

It has nothing to do with changing the water and soil, the deterioration of Shaanxi's water and soil has become a foregone conclusion, unless all the people are relocated to other places from the Dajishi Mountain, all the way to Longmen, and then the ploughing, grazing and logging are banned for a hundred years, then this mother river can be restored. But is it possible?

Don't say that the northwest has not been unified, it is the northwest that has been unified, how can so many people forcibly migrate, and how can they ensure that no other tribes will come after the migration? Even in Dafeichuan, which has almost become the Gobi Desert, there are still many tribes who continue to be nomadic.

Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered, the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the cattle and sheep are gnawed all.

Yanzhou, including the southeast of Yanzhou, and the southwest of Huanqing, have a large number of nomadic herding, but the scale of nomadism is not as large as that of the desert, and it is not very far. However, the problem comes, in addition to animal husbandry, Shaanxi also has planting, which means that more people can be fed, and more people will raise more cattle and sheep.

Cattle and sheep gnaw the grass with difficulty, people want to live, they also have to live, and in the end they don't have to eat, so they gnaw the grass roots, and the bad cycle begins. This is the origin of most of the Guangshan Mountain in Yanzhou today.

The water and soil in Wangjiazhai are also very poor.

So Wang Jucai had this idea, and even let him find alfalfa, a plant that Zhang Qian brought back to Chang'an from the Western Regions. Everyone grows it as an ornamental plant, for greenery, or as a vegetable. There are also many wild alfalfa near Yanzhou, as well as some artificially cultivated alfalfa. But people don't know what it's really worth yet.

This pungent plant will survive immediately.

Then two stubbles were cut, and some green reeds were also cut, and they were air-dried and kept for green fodder in the winter.

When winter comes, these green fodder and hay straw are used to feed the sheep, so the sheep raised by Wang Ju are fat and fat.

At the same time, Wang Ju took advantage of everyone's trust in him in the autumn to concentrate labor, built a dam in a valley northwest of the village, installed a simple steep gate, and brought river water from the Hunzhou River, so a small reservoir of about 40 acres was formed.

In the northwest, water is the source of life.

With this small reservoir, the crops will be abundant in the coming year.

Wang Juxian got out the wet grass in the sheepfold, it is not a waste, there is a lot of sheep urine and sheep manure on the wet grass here, and it is the best farm fertilizer to soak it.

Then change to hay again.

In fact, the sheepfold was built according to his instructions, facing the sun, located in the place of Gao Shuang, and the slaked lime was paved underneath.

At the moment, his sheep are still common property, and he has time to help together, otherwise he wouldn't want to study.

But the lamb will belong to him, this is the agreement he made with the villagers.

Several teenagers almost tried to cover their noses in the distance.

But it also depends on the fact that Wu Lin retired and planted rice by herself, which moved the hard-hearted Zhu Yuanzhang. But who will be moved by the peasants planting rice and farming, without food and clothing. When a craftsman builds a house, everyone spurns, this is an inferior mason, but the bachelor Luo Furen is so poor that he can only build a house for himself, and Zhu Yuanzhang can only sigh for a long time.

If ordinary shepherds were doing this work, a few of them would have run away long ago.

It is precisely this that several families are not fools, so they let their children mess around in Wangjiazhai.

In a certain way, they thought that Wang Ju would be able to socialize with their children, and that when the children saw the lives of some poor people and saw the lives of Wang Ju, they would cherish their wealth in the future and would not go bankrupt.

Wang Ju used a wheelbarrow to pull the fodder again.

"Alfalfa?"

Little Lady Li's family came over to watch curiously.

"It's a good thing, come, I'll show you a good thing."

Bring the big guy to his house and take out a alfalfa from the cupboard: "That's it." ”

"What kind of good thing is it?" Zhu Jun asked puzzled.

"Look at its leaves."

"Leaves?"

"Count how many leaves it has."

"Four pieces."

"Count the other alfalfa leaves."

"Well, it's different."

"Alfalfa is a clover grass, it not only provides ornamental, vegetable and vegetable breeding, but also can raise pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, its effect is better than that of wheat beans, and it can also bring luck."

"Wang Xiaolang, you're going to tell a story again."

"I don't lie to you, but not every alfalfa can bring luck, only the four-leaf alfalfa is the lucky leaf, tear off its leaf petals, tear off the first leaf petal and say a sentence, one leaf brings honor, tear the second leaf petal and say a word one leaf brings wealth, the third leaf is a leaf that brings true love, the fourth leaf is a leaf that brings health, and finally one more word, four-leaf clover, you have these four abilities, and then make a wish, most of them can be fulfilled. Zhu Erlang, you come and give it a try. Be careful, though, that the desire is not too demanding. ”

The second girl giggles.

This is what the eldest brother used to say when he coaxed her to be happy.

The trick is in the last sentence, don't want too high, what do you want, but just listen to a few more stories, of course, all come true. So she secretly found some four-leaf alfalfa and treasured it.

This alfalfa was collected and dried in the sun.

After a long time, it is now Wang Ju who has opened her enlightenment wisdom, of course she knows that the eldest brother is deceiving her to be happy.

But Zhu Jun doesn't know.

He really made a wish according to what Wang Ju said.

"Erlang, what wish did you make?"

"Have a happy day and forget about your troubles."

"I don't know if it's going to happen."

"It's really happening," Mrs. Li giggled. If you want to make Zhu Jun happy, it's easy to find that Xiangyu lady and sing a song to ensure that Zhu Jun will be happy. But God knows where the fan thief took the three of them to hide.

"No matter, I'll take you out fishing."
