In the pavilion of Xishan Villa.
Dong Shulan came here after bathing and changing clothes.
Yan Xiwen was boiling a pot of tea, and Chunxiu brought a bowl of **** soup to Dong Shulan.
"I heard from someone from Xishan Express that you came to Xishan, and I was thinking about Brother Fu... I'm afraid you know the news about Brother Fu. I just want to ask you, when will he come back?"
Dong Shulan took a sip of **** soup and said with a smile: "What? If he doesn't come back, is it possible that I, the young lady, won't be able to deal with those things?"
Yan Xiwen smiled awkwardly, poured two cups of tea and handed one over, "Back then, you were a famous and talented woman and powerful person in the capital city... I'm afraid you don't know that you also have some comments among the students in the academy. ”
"Tell me and listen."
"They said that if you were a man, your father's position as Minister of Household Affairs would probably fall on you."
Dong Shulan pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head, "Wu Ling'er of the Wu Dynasty can still ascend the throne and become the emperor and become the first empress in history. As a daughter, will I be unable to be the minister of household affairs?"
"That's different. If it weren't for Emperor Wen's son..." Yan Xiwen stopped there. He wanted to say that if it weren't for Emperor Wen's son who died, he suddenly remembered that Fu Xiaoguan was also the son of Emperor Wen, and whether Fu Xiaoguan was dead or not He's not dead, but now it's a conflict of opinion.
The Wu Dynasty has announced the death of Fu Xiaoguan. This is the decree of the Queen herself!
But the people of the Yu Dynasty seemed to find it difficult to accept that Fu Xiaoguan died at the foot of the Snow Mountain. Now, neither Emperor Xuan Shang nor his grandfather Yan Beixi have kept silent about the matter.
For Yan Xiwen, he certainly hopes that Fu Xiaoguan is alive, because he still needs Fu Xiaoguan's help for many things - such as the Yaoxian County Wharf that is being built.
"Brother Fu brought me a letter last time, saying that the wharf in Yao County was to be expanded and a dock built. I specifically consulted the shipwright about this dock. If it is a three-masted sailboat, this dock will not be used. The need is too great, but Brother Fu means ships..."
Yan Xiwen looked at Dong Shulan, "Yu Chao doesn't have such a thing as a ship. I don't know how to do it, so I want to ask you for news about him."
When Dong Shulan heard this, he was also confused.
Fu Xiaoguan never said anything about this, and she didn't know what the ship looked like, so she put down the **** tea bowl and thought about it seriously, "I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."
Since Dong Shulan did not mention Fu Xiaoguan, Yan Xiwen did not ask further questions, but had a bad premonition in his heart. It seemed that something had really happened to Fu Xiaoguan. Otherwise, how could Dong Shulan come to Xishan, and how could she go down to the fields.
They already have His Majesty's marriage certificate, which Yan Xiwen knows because his cousin Yan Xiaolou is also one of Fu Xiaoguan's fiancées.
If Fu Xiaoguan really has a problem... Could it be that Dong Shulan is so determined to guard this property for him all her life?
In this regard, Yan Xiwen did not try to persuade him because he knew what kind of person Dong Shulan was.
"Your properties in Yao County are already on the right track, but they are money-spinners. One guy can solve the financial and taxation problems of Yao County. Don't you plan to take a look?"
"The plan is to go and check it out in three days, but now we have to check out the weather..."
Dong Shulan's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Yan Xiwen and said, "My husband-in-law has got some good stuff, but about people's livelihood, are you interested?"
Of course Yan Xiwen is interested. He knows best what Fu Xiaoguan is tinkering with, so he nodded quickly and said with a smile: "After all, we are classmates. Besides, I have really had a crush on you for many years. , If you have something good, of course you have to give me the place to use it first.”
Dong Shulan glared at Yan Xiwen, "The field just now is the new rice seed that my husband was tinkering with. Let me tell you this, the yield of this acre of field is at least double what it used to be!"
Yan Xiwen was shocked, "This is impossible!"
"Is it possible that this doesn't matter? What I want to tell you is that although my family has a lot of farmland in Yao County, there is also a lot of official land. We can sign a contract. If my family's rice seeds cannot reach twice as much as before, I won’t take a penny. If it’s twice as much, the price of this rice seed is two hundred cents per catty. Would you accept it?”
Yan Xiwen was startled, "You are simply blackmailing me! A pound of rice does not exceed twelve cents, and you are selling me two hundred cents... This is obviously robbery!"
Dong Shulan laughed and said, "Let me calculate this for you. The average harvest from an acre of land is two stones, which is about two hundred and forty kilograms. If my rice seeds are used, it will reach at least four hundred and eighty kilograms." Ten pounds! ”
"Paddy is priced at twelve fen per catty, and five hundred jins of rice is worth 6,000 fen. And one acre of field only requires five jins of grain seeds, which only costs 1,000 fen, and the income reaches 5,000 fen. ”
"Calculating the rice seeds in the past, one acre of land yielded 240 kilograms, and the total output was only 2,800 fen. Even excluding the cost of rice seeds, one profit was 5,400 fen, and the other The profit is 2,800 yuan...I sold it to you cheaply!"
When Yan Xiwen heard this, he raised his head and looked at the old housekeeper standing beside him, but the old housekeeper frowned in disbelief.
He looked at Dong Shulan again and asked, "Is it really possible to produce about five hundred catties?"
“The contract is written in black and white, signed and sealed by everyone, and it is an honest business. I am not afraid of giving it away for free, so what are you afraid of?”
"Deal! I'll make a contract when I get back. We'll sign it when you come to Yao County!"
"Cheng, in addition...my husband-in-law also has a magical thing that you have never even seen. Do you want to plant it in your Yao County first?"
Yan Xiwen felt strange, who was this Fu Xiaoguan? Why is he the only one who can come up with these new things?
"Of course I do, just tell me."
"That thing is called sweet potato. If you plant it in the ground, it can grow even on the poorest land without picking the ground. And the yield...according to my husband, the yield per mu can reach...more than two thousand kilograms!"
In fact, at that time, Fu Xiaoguan said that if the soil quality was better, the yield per mu could be more than 5,000 kilograms. Dong Shulan was worried about scaring Yan Xiwen, so she said it more conservatively, but it still scared Yan Xiwen. !
"Two thousand catties per mu?" Yan Xiwen's eyes widened, "Could this thing be used as food to satisfy hunger?"
"Of course you can. I have tasted it. This stuff is soft, glutinous and very sweet. I believe everyone will like it."
"Can you give me a taste?"
"There are no more now. They have all been bred into seeds. My husband said they will mature around October. I will send some to you then."
"Is it easy to plant?"
"I don't know about this. I don't think it will be too much trouble. I can provide you with technical guidance at that time, but you have to pay him a salary."
"Tell me, what's the price of this thing?"
Dong Shulan didn't know how to sell this thing, so she thought for a while, "It's not urgent, let's wait some time."
Yan Xiwen thought that Dong Shulan would definitely whet his appetite and sell it at a high price.
The fact is that Dong Shulan hopes that Fu Xiaoguan can come back. She really doesn't know what price this thing should be sold for.
Fu Xiaoguan is on his way back now. He has arrived in Xuanzhou on Jiangnan West Road.
He chose to take the water route, boarded the ship in Xuanzhou, and sailed up the Yangtze River. It took about ten days to reach Linjiang.
