The female emperor fights, captures Yang Yuhuan at the beginning

Even though Yang Yuhuan in the carriage didn't have much affection for Jia Sixie who was covered in mud, he was still in a good mood to be able to go out of the city and see the endless scenery of the fields.

As for what Qin Lang did here, she was too lazy to care about it, and she didn't want to care about it. In her heart, it was all a man's business, and she only needed to do her own job well.

Take good care of the lord's daily necessities, play the beautiful strings when Qin Lang is bored, or play a flute, or dance a self-composed neon dress dance. Only making Qin Lang happy physically and mentally is her greatest achievement. achievements.

Guo Jia, who had been following behind Qin Lang and Jia Sixie, poked Xi Zhicai with his elbow: "Brother Zhicai, why do you think my lord is here?"

Xi Zhicai randomly pulled a piece of green grass from the side of the road and put it in his mouth to chew lightly. A trace of sweetness entered his throat, which was very wild.

"You ask me, who do I ask? It's not the autumn harvest to come to see the grain. I don't know what to do in the spring plowing. Is it possible to imitate the emperor's old man to harvest the spring? There is no ceremonial arrangement here."

Guo Jia was also in a daze. At the beginning of spring, from the imperial court to the local government, large-scale spring plowing activities would be held to persuade farmers to teach mulberry and remind the common people to start plowing the land.

If the spring sacrificial ceremony is held, first of all, the time is wrong, and secondly, there is no on-site arrangement. It feels like a temporary decision to come here.

"It's weird, it's weird, I, Guo Fengxiao, can't understand what my lord is doing."

Xi Zhicai spat out the chewed grass root, and then pulled out another one and threw it into his mouth: "Brother, I have an ominous premonition. In the near future, we will probably have to deal with these mud legs."

Guo Jia also had this kind of feeling in his heart, and it was very strong. If he couldn't say it, he would be left here to work in farming. When he thought of this possibility, Guo Jia became sad.

"I think I'm full of knowledge, not only did I fail to enter the shogunate, but now I'm afraid I don't even have the opportunity to show off my talents in the world. Brother Zhicai, why don't we find opportunities to slip away."

Xi Zhicai sneered, "Slip? Have you asked Brother Dian?"

Guo Jia turned back secretly, glanced at Dian Wei, who was staring blankly like Mount Tai, quickly retracted his gaze, and buried his head forward, remembering when Dian Wei was drilled, grievances rushed to his heart, and he wanted to lie down on the ridge of the field and cry.

"Brother, I advise you to stay safe when you come, and do whatever the lord asks you to do. Don't think about those who have nothing. I took the initiative to go to the lord, because I think the lord is very extraordinary, and I will follow the lord throughout life and death. "

"As for you, you were taken captive by the lord. You can be forgiven for being a little cautious. I still have to advise you, think twice, don't be so pessimistic. Look at Wen Ruo, that is our Yingchuan example."

"..."

Qin Lang, who was driving Jia Sixie all the way, didn't know what Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were muttering about. Now he wanted to give Jia Sixie the seeds he bought from Tianji Building.

Just the three things of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, once they are cultivated, he can freely recruit soldiers, have endless food, and still fight to the death?

Soon everyone arrived at the farming workshop. It is more like a seedling breeding base than a farming workshop. Except for three office buildings and two houses for living, there is only a small piece of neat square. Grid fields.

Along the way, Jia Sixie introduced the varieties being cultivated in each experimental field. Qin Lang just watched but didn't speak. After walking around, everyone was more or less covered with dirt.

After a brief cleaning, Qin Lang and everyone entered the meeting hall to rest.

Jia Sixie had arranged for someone to cook a pot of barley tea long ago, and the field was very humid. At this time, a pot of charcoal fire was burning in the middle of the lobby, and everyone held a bowl of barley tea in their hands. After only two sips, they all felt that the experience was very strange, and the taste was not good. Difference.

After chatting for a while, Qin Lang put down the tea bowl and lifted the red cloth that had been covering the table beside him.

Everyone looked at it and made a sound of surprise.

Even Jia Sixie was a little dazed when he saw the things on the tray.

Yang Yuhuan, who was standing beside her, was very curious about those cute little things that were only the size of a little finger, and couldn't help asking softly, "My lord, this thing is very cute. I wonder what kind of thing it is?"

Qin Lang pursed his lips and smiled without explaining. He took out one and asked Dian Wei to pass it to Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao has read many poems and books, but what is the use of knowing the name of this thing?"

Guo Jia took the red thing from Dian Wei's hand, looked at it for a long time, smelled it again, and then licked it again, but still found nothing special.

"Returning to my lord, I have never seen this thing before, and I don't know what its function is. On a closer look, it should be some kind of plant fruit, or is it edible? Medicinal?"

Qin Lang hummed and nodded, "You guessed right, Feng Xiao dares to give it a try?"

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, with an ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't refuse, so he closed his eyes and put it in his mouth, biting half of it.

As soon as I took it in, before I had time to chew it carefully, the whole person stood still for an instant.

That pale face turned red in an instant, and he couldn't bear the pungent smell, so he vomited it out with a wow, and then frantically looked for water everywhere.

"Your Majesty lied to me, this is Zhuyu, Shui Shui Shui... this subordinate is going to die..."

Chapter 027 The Foundation of the Nation

Guo Jia, who was deceived, didn't know that such a small thing could be so spicy. After searching for a long time, she couldn't help it, so she ran to the fire room and plunged into the water tank.

Everyone present was wondering why Guo Jia lost his composure. Could it be that that little thing is something unpalatable and disgusting?

Yang Yuhuan also wanted to taste it, but Qin Lang snatched it away before he even put it in his mouth: "You want to plunge into the water tank too?"

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Guo Jia's wet head and those red and swollen lips, and immediately shook his head: "Yu Nu doesn't want to."

Qin Lang was playing with a hot pepper in his hand, split it in two with his nails, shook out many white seeds, and introduced to Jia Sixie: "This thing is called hot pepper, and it is not the same plant as the dogwood mentioned by Feng Xiao. , but its pungent degree is more than ten times that of Cornus officinalis."

"Don't look at this little pepper, it can be used as a regular condiment for daily cooking, making the food more delicious, more refreshing than dogwood, and it can also be used as medicine to eliminate food, relieve stagnation, appetizing, ward off evil, kill The smell is poisonous."

"This object can not only be used in a large range of civilians, but it will also have unexpected effects in marching and fighting in the future."

"You are an expert in planting and cultivating. I have enough seeds here. I must plant them on a large scale."

Hearing this, Jia Sixie immediately stood up and clasped her fists: "Your subordinates will fulfill their mission."

Having tasted the chili pepper himself, and after listening to Qin Lang's explanation, Guo Jia immediately thought of the future achievements of the chili pepper.

Although it was extremely spicy, after eating it, his mouth became fluid and his body became hot. Even though his head was covered with water, he was sweating non-stop on his forehead and back.

If every soldier can carry some of this thing, eating half of it in extremely cold weather can be compared to a furnace of charcoal fire.

This is a sharp weapon for marching, and it can be called a divine object.

It can be seen from this that the other three things on the table are definitely not inferior to this pepper. Guo Jia, who has never cared about farming, suddenly became interested at this moment, and he couldn't wait to learn about the rest.

Putting down the pepper in his hand, Qin Lang snapped his fingers, and Dian Wei took a steaming cauldron from outside.

The moment the lid of the pot was lifted, there was a strong aroma, and everyone present was full of appetite. Yang Yuhuan, who was standing by the side, couldn't help swallowing secretly when he saw the food in the pot.

"My lord, what is this?"

Qin Lang poked a bamboo stick into a golden corn cob from the pot, so that he could only hold the bamboo stick and not burn his hands.

First, put it into the cold water bucket on the side and pass through a line of water. After the temperature of the corn has dropped a bit, take it out to drain the water and pass it to Yang Yuhuan.

"The name of this thing is corn. It can be used as a staple food, or it can be processed into some supplementary food or snacks. I won't show you the various methods. It is the easiest way to boil or roast directly. You can try it."

Guo Jia, who couldn't bear it for a long time, was the first to step forward, regardless of the fact that the freshly scooped corn was hot, he wrapped it around with his wide sleeves, blowing and turning around, feeling less hot, and put it in front of his nose first Smell it.

The fragrance is overflowing, smelling it makes people appetite, but they don't know how to eat it, look left and right, and just bite down so hard that the teeth almost collapse.

Xi Zhicai was very embarrassed at this time. With such a fellow countryman, he was really speechless. Although he didn't know what to say, he couldn't be in a hurry. Qin Lang would always set an example. He was so anxious and made a fool of himself.

Guo Jia is shameless, tried it once, it's okay to make a mistake, as long as he finds a way.

Xi Zhicai was still waiting for Qin Lang's demonstration, while Guo Jia had already squatted aside and began to gnaw, eating in an extremely unsightly manner, not to mention splashing juice, Guo Jia was still a leaker, leaking while eating.

The first time I ate corn, the tender and sweet taste directly captured it. At this time, where I still care about the image, the key is to eat more corn.

Under Qin Lang's demonstration, Yang Yuhuan broke off the corn kernels one by one and ate them. It was not only elegant, but also very interesting. The corn kernels were stuck together, and sometimes seven or eight corn kernels could be broken off at one time.

Put it in your mouth and chew it lightly, it is sweet and fragrant, and the taste is not too good, which makes Yang Yuhuan want to imitate Guo Jia's presumptuous gnawing to be enjoyable. It is really anxious to eat a few pieces like this.

Jia Sixie ate very slowly. On the one hand, he was amazed at the delicious taste of this food, and on the other hand, he was also observing the structure of the corn.

There were only a dozen corns boiled in the pot, Qin Lang didn't eat one, Yang Yuhuan ate one, and Guo Jiaxi Zhicai and Dian Wei cleaned up the rest.

Seeing that it was about the same time, Qin Lang patted Dian Wei, who was still full of emotions. The simple and honest Dian Wei smiled, and moved in a large charcoal basin from outside.

When Guo Jia and the others were wondering why they moved in such a large charcoal basin, two followers under Qin Lang's command dug out the potatoes and sweet potatoes buried in the charcoal ash.

It looked like these bumpy things were still covered with carbon ash, but the moment they were turned out, the entire meeting hall was filled with a strong sweet smell.

Compared with the fragrance of corn, the fragrance at this time is many times stronger, and when you smell this smell, you will feel hungry.

Regardless of everyone's surprised expressions, Qin Lang picked up a pimple bigger than a fist with his bare hands, gently patted off the carbon dust on the surface, and then carefully peeled off the dry skin.

Everyone present could not help swallowing when they saw the golden-yellow, steaming flesh.

Qin Lang handed the peeled sweet potatoes to Yang Yuhuan, who was wearing casual clothes beside him, and said with concern: "Be careful, eat slowly."

Yang Yuhuan was not used to eating in public, and it was even worse in front of so many men. This was seriously inconsistent with her education, but Qin Lang didn't care at all, and urged her to open up like this eat.

I wanted to chew slowly, and I had to take into account the image of a lady no matter what, but I couldn't stop after taking a bite.

That hot, soft, sweet, satisfying feeling swarmed in, and the appetite was completely satisfied. At this time, there is no time to think about other things, and the meal is over.

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan's food was so delicious, Guo Jia and the others didn't hesitate any more, rolled up their sleeves and started doing it, regardless of their appearance, let alone whether it was clean or not, they peeled off the skin in two or three bites, and burned everyone. Jump your feet.

Dozens of potatoes and sweet potatoes were snatched up, and they were all eaten up in a short while, each of them turned into a big face. While washing their hands and face in the copper basin brought by the attendant, they kept belching.

After grooming, everyone sat down again, and after a full meal, they paired it with special wheat tea, which was a perfect match.

Guo Jia couldn't help admiring: "This thing should only exist in the sky, and my subordinates have really increased their knowledge."

Qin Lang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and asked calmly, "Does Feng Xiao still feel that farmers are low?"

Guo Jia knelt down in shame and worshiped after hearing the words: "This subordinate has realized it, and please punish me, my lord."

Qin Lang motioned for him to get up and sit down, and said to Jia Sixie meaningfully: "These three things can not only be used as staple food, but the living environment does not need to be particular about, and the yield is extremely high. Even if corn is planted in plateau mountains, the yield per mu can More than [-] to [-] kilograms, the yield of potatoes planted in the mountains can reach as high as [-] kilograms per mu, and the yield of sweet potatoes can reach [-] kilograms per mu.”

"Such an output does not need to occupy the fertile fields in the plains. Once the planting scale is raised, Minfeng's warehouse surplus is no problem, and there will be a lot of surplus every year. At that time, the food processing industry will appear to promote the integration of agriculture and commerce. Will there be more?"

"That's all I have to say. Brother Jia should understand the importance of this matter."

Jia Sixie knew that the importance of this matter was no less than a crucial battle. It was not only the foundation of the national power of the forces, but also a great thing to benefit the people's livelihood.

"My lord, please don't worry, Jia will definitely do his best and will never hesitate to die."

"In the future, seeds will be sent. I also have some records of these kinds of habits here, which should be helpful to you."

Qin Lang turned his head to look at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai who were beside him and said: "This important task is the foundation of the country, and its importance is self-evident. Do you two want to enter the curtain to be the dog-headed military adviser, or do you want to make a profit first?" When it comes to the great affairs of the country and the people, you decide for yourself.”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai had already reached the crossroads of their destiny. How to make a choice would definitely affect their future development direction and personal achievements.

Guo Jia, who was inspired to be the military adviser of the three armies, hesitated at this time. In his heart, only the temple and the side of the constant companion are his destination. .

But now Guo Jia's thinking is different, and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and immediately turned around and bowed.

"The subordinates are willing to benefit the common people in the world, contribute to the prosperity of the national treasury, and lay a solid foundation for the Great Qin. They will do whatever they want!"

Chapter 028 Assassination

After Guo Jia and Xi Zhi realized Qin Lang's good intentions, they stayed in the farming workshop. According to Qin Lang's plan, Guo Jia and Xi Zhi were subordinate to Xun Yu's direct administration and were responsible for Qinzhou's agricultural administration.

When Qin Lang went back to discuss with Xun Yu, the official documents would be issued.

When returning to the city, Qin Lang deliberately walked slowly. The spring is infinitely beautiful, the sun is warm, and it is a good weather for an outing.

Secondly, I didn't intend to go back to the city so early with Yang Yuhuan. It is also a beautiful thing to have a beautiful woman to accompany me, to walk more and see more.

There is a lake about ten miles north from the farming workshop. It was originally just a small pond, but after the geographical structure changed, it turned into a lake with a huge scale.

The streams flowing down from the mountains in the northwest basically converge here, and the moat and internal ditches of Fengyu City also use the water from this lake.

According to the design of Li Bing of the water conservancy workshop, this lake in northern Thailand supplies public water in the city, and the reservoir on the west side is mainly used for irrigation of the Fengyu Plain.

Therefore, starting from the reservoir in the western mountains, there is a 30-meter-wide river that crosses the entire plain from west to east, and it just happens to divide Fengyu City into two, becoming the dividing line between the north and south cities.

The water of Taibei Lake runs from north to south, dividing the north and south urban areas into east and west parts. In this way, the water resources of Fengyu City become extremely rich, and the water network is densely distributed in the streets and alleys.

It was noon, and Qin Lang and his party arrived at the shore of Taibei Lake. The grass was green and the blue waves rippling, which happened to be an excellent place for leisure.

When he left the city in the morning, Qin Lang ordered his attendants to bring enough food, including the lambs, chickens and ducks that had just been slaughtered in the early morning.

In order not to disturb Qin Lang and Yang Yuhuan's whispering, Dian Wei led a group of attendants to arrange tables, chairs, benches, pastries and snacks on the grass, and then lit a fire 50 meters away for barbecue.

The carriage was fixed beside a willow tree, and the horse was grazing leisurely beside the harness, while two maids waited about ten meters away from the carriage.

After walking with Qin Lang by the lake for a while, Yang Yuhuan felt that the sun was too strong, and Qin Lang didn't want the beauty with firm skin to get tanned, so the two got into the carriage, put down a beaded curtain, and started chatting.

Yang Yuhuan asked Qin Lang if he would hate being alone when he was alone every day, and was very worried that one day Qin Lang would no longer like her.

Qin Lang was teased and laughed wildly. It turned out that this kind of careful thinking was regardless of age or dynasty. Women who want to please themselves will worry about the day when they will grow old and look bad.

While talking, Yang Yuhuan chatted about her older sisters, her voice choked up, and tears kept rolling in her eyes, her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.

Qin Lang thought about Yang Yuhuan's three famous sisters, the eldest sister, Mrs. Han, the eighth sister, Mrs. Qin, and the third sister, Mrs. Guo. These three were not cheap.

He can understand Yang Yuhuan's longing for relatives, but he doesn't have a cold at all for these three sisters. If they are all as beautiful as Yang Yuhuan, that's all. Character.

Seeing that Qin Lang didn't intend to take the initiative at all, Yang Yuhuan cried even more miserably.

Qin Lang couldn't stand Yang Yuhuan's crying, so he had to think of a way to delay the attack for the time being. It's not impossible to take over, but they can't live together.

Qin Lang said sternly: "A relative is a relative. Even if they are as close as sisters, they are still relatives. If you don't want them to suffer, it's okay to take them. But at most, I will find a house in the city for them to stay. I don't care about other things. You can't interfere, whether they can survive in this city depends on their own ability."

With Qin Lang's words, Yang Yuhuan withdrew her tears and a smile appeared on her face.
