Chapter 196: The Seventh Valley?


Speaking of which, the original document written by Governor Hao was indeed reviewed by the emperor himself.

His Majesty the Emperor has been paying more attention to the development of Lishi County in the past two years.

He has already given instructions long ago that whenever documents from Lishi County are submitted, they will be brought to him for personal review.

This time when Governor Hao's document was presented, he was busy planning the canning workshop in Chengzhou.

And because the Eucommia gum in the Qinling area was about to come off, several ministers in the DPRK were also arguing.

Some people thought that the grassroots troops should be equipped with rubber-soled leather boots first, because they were always ready to go to war.

Some people think that the officers and soldiers guarding the city, as well as the generals and all civil servants in Chang'an City should be given a pair first.

There are not many of them anyway.

Chang'an City is related to the face of the entire country.

Foreign ambassadors often come to visit.

Mo It would be better if they underestimated the Tang Dynasty.

During this busy and chaotic time, His Majesty the Emperor read the document from Governor Hao, and thought to himself, it would be better to let this matter go for a while.

After the taxes from all over the country are collected, Hao Jianping will come to Chang'an City.

When debriefing, ask him carefully.

As a result, he was so busy that he forgot about this matter later.

When Hao Jianping went to the capital to sue for his resignation, he only met Hao Jianping briefly.

This was already considered to give them face in Shizhou.

There were so many last winter.

Officials went to Beijing to report on their duties, but only a few of them saw the emperor.

"Ahem, Governor Hao has been implementing the tube-car irrigation method in Shizhou for several months.

He has been working hard to benefit the people.

He is really a model for local officials in the Tang Dynasty."

The emperor did not mention any documents at this time, and just gave Hao Jianping wears a high hat.

"How can such a good minister be tainted by being greedy for merit?"

Someone else immediately stood up and spoke.

"To do meritorious service is to be greedy for meritorious service.

It seems that this court will be left to those who have no meritorious service in the future."

The official who spoke was quite old but very angry.

"Who do you think is a useless person?"

Someone in the camp immediately jumped up.

"Of course I am talking about those people who have no merit."

The old man has been in the officialdom for decades, how could he be choked by these two sentences?

Once there was a quarrel in the court, it was indeed very lively.

His Majesty the Emperor leaned back on his wooden couch, ignored it, and went to watch the show.

When the quarrel among them was almost over, the emperor asked several ministers for their opinions, and then called out the names of several people in the court hall, and ordered them to learn the method of irrigation with a barrel wheel and the location of it from Hao Jianping.

Just outside Chang'an City at the foot of the West Mountain.

This drum truck irrigation method does have many advantages compared to rolling trucks, but it also has a limitation, that is, it must be used in places where there is a drop in the water area or the water flow is relatively fast, such as large rivers, large rivers and large ponds in plain areas.

Yes, in some places the water flow is very slow and the terrain is very flat.

This cart is of little use in such places.

Therefore, everyone feels that this drum-truck irrigation method is most suitable for promotion in mountainous slopes.

In plain areas, it is enough to continue to use drum-truck irrigation.

In addition, in Chang'an City, the production of threshing machines was also put on the agenda at this time.

In the past few months, not only the craftsmen in Lishi County learned from the craftsmen in Chang'an, but these craftsmen from Chang'an also learned the craft of making threshing machines and stayed there for several months.

When they came back, their skills were already very proficient at this time.

The threshing machines built here in Chang'an City are not sold for money.

Instead, a batch is first transported to various states and counties across the country to demonstrate to local craftsmen, and then officials from various places are asked to promote the machines locally.

In addition, the big households in Chang'an City are also quite coveted for this threshing machine.

When Hao Jianping went to the capital to present the threshing machine last year, those people made such a fuss that the promotion of this threshing machine was delayed.

This delay has been delayed until now.

Everyone hopes that their manor can use this thing during the summer harvest this year.

With the threshing machine and the irrigation method, coupled with the previous method of burning soil and manure, with the promotion of these advanced technologies and agricultural tools, even some relatively dry and barren land should not worry about being unable to grow crops. .

Some people said before that Narosaburo was a monster.

How could a monster be so kind and do such things to benefit all living beings?

I heard that Narosaburo has also been collecting seeds everywhere in the past two years.

In the future, he will indeed find the seventh valley and the eighth.

It is unknown in ancient times.

Half a month later, here in Xipo Village "Sanlang, look at what these plants are.

They look a bit like beans."

On this day, Aweng of the Yao family came down the slope with a hoe and saw a few plants growing in the field in front of the Luo family.

The plant, which is more than half a foot tall, might seem to be a bean at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to be something completely different.

There were a few passers-by at the foot of the "Jindouzi" slope.

When they heard this, they quickly came over to watch the fun.

Earlier they had joked that Luo Sanlang couldn't grow the seventh grain.

Could it be that

"I don't know what they are, but they don't look like beans."

Luo Yong also came out of the yard at this time.

"What kind of melon is Xu?"

someone guessed.

"It's not like melons either."

Most of the melons are climbing vines, like the courgettes, gourds, and winter melons that are common here.

How can they be as straight as a pole like this?

A few days later, Xu Erlang and others also came back from outside, a little earlier than expected, because in the Taihang Mountains, many villagers got the news and went out to get the threshing machine themselves, but gave it to Xu Erlang and others.

Saved a lot of effort.

Speaking of the plants in front of the Luo family yard, none of Xu Erlang and the others knew them.

Some guessed they were vegetables, some guessed they were weeds, and some secretly hoped that these plants would grow into the seventh valley in the future.

Although everyone knows that this hope is slim.

Time passes day by day, and the field in front of the Luo family yard also looks the same every day.

Some plants are dead, some plants are identified as weeds, and they are easily pulled out, and some plants are not clear what they are.

It was left in this piece of land to grow.

In May, the previous plants began to bloom with small flowers, attracting some wild bees on the slope to fly over to collect honey.

After a while, the flowers withered, and gradually some small fruits grew.

The villagers looked at them and felt a little disappointed in their hearts: "They look like wild fruits on the mountain.

They can't be eaten."

Yes, wild fruits of this type are generally very astringent.”

"Why don't you pick one and try it?"

someone asked Luo Sanlang.

"Let's wait until it's cooked."

Luo Yongcai didn't want to eat it raw.

"Let me try it for you."

Someone volunteered, stretched out his hand and pulled the largest fruit from a plant, about the size of his little finger.

He didn't wash it, rubbed it with his fingers, and immediately Throw it into your mouth.

""Everyone smiled and watched him taste the fruit. "" Luo Yong also looked on with a smile.

"Ouch!"

The man just took two bites, then opened his mouth and howled.

"What's wrong?"

the villagers asked one after another, and an old man said to the side: "If you can't eat it, just spit it out quickly.

Why are you holding it in your mouth?

I don't know if it's poisonous."

Luo Yong's stomach was so full of laughter that he was eating raw chili peppers.

Although the spiciness of young chili peppers was not that high, they were Chaotian chili peppers.

"Oh my, what a mouth, haha!"

The man was still whining with his tongue hanging out.

"What does it taste like, but it's very astringent?"

Everyone was curious, and looked at him as if nothing was wrong, so they all felt relieved.

"It's burning and hissing."

It was the first time in his life that this guy had eaten chili peppers.

He was afraid that he would not be able to get over it for a while.

"Not astringent."

Everyone's general impression of wild fruits is that they are astringent.

"It's not astringent, it's pungent," the man said.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

After all this trouble, the villagers' expectations for the Seventh Valley had been blown away by the rain and wind.

"Nothing."

Apart from the hot sweat on his head just now, there was no other discomfort.

The spicy taste in his mouth had also slightly subsided at this time, and it was not as unbearable as before.

The villagers were disappointed, but Luo Yong was very happy.

How could he live without chili peppers?

After the previous taste test by the villager, everyone at least knew that this thing should not be poisonous.

If Saburo wants to grow it, he can grow it.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he still has the mentality of a child.

When the peppers were about the same size, Luo Yongzhen picked a handful and took them to the Xu family guest house for cooking.

There was no way around it.

They didn't have an iron pot at home.

The iron pot they had bought for Tian Chonghu to fry stinky tofu was later used by him to build a threshing machine.

My master wanted to borrow an iron pot, and if the Xu family had anything to say, they quickly gave him the stove.

Luo Yong took some onions, ginger and garlic from their place, put them in a pan and stir-fried until the aroma was released.

Then he added pork and stir-fried, then added chili peppers and stir-fried twice.

The smell immediately changed, Luo Yong said.

Yong Shou stood by the pot and swallowed while cooking.

He hadn't eaten spicy food seriously in several years.

Outside the hall "Ahem, cough, cough, what exactly is Luo Sanlang doing inside?"

"Oh no, I'm going outside to get some fresh air."

"Ahem" "This time, it smells even worse than that stinky tofu." gd1806102:
