Chapter 255 Li Yan
After all, the old village head had been the head of the village for decades. After he remembered who Li Yan was, he chatted with him naturally.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the identities of Chen Wenjiu and the others, and he didn't say anything about some of the more mysterious things in Yujia Village. Instead, he introduced the thorns they planted to Li Yan.

"Master Li, don't look at these trees growing so well, we haven't watered them often." The old village head said with a smile, "We only watered them twice after we planted the saplings. He looks really good."

"According to the person who gave us the sapling, this kind of tree can take root very deep and feed itself by absorbing groundwater..." The old village head happily explained to Li Yanke the various advantages and disadvantages of the thorn tree.

This kind of tree is especially suitable for planting in places like the Northwest. It is resistant to cold, drought and high temperature, and can support itself without requiring much care.

Moreover, its fruit can be eaten like other fruits, it can also be dried and used as medicine, and it can also be used to make wine. It can be said that this thorn fruit is really very useful.

If most of the thorn fruits are planted in the northwest, then it is indeed possible to feed more people. Of course, what everyone cares about most is the issue of food. As long as the thorn fruits are planted in relatively desolate places with less water sources That's enough, the fields of the common people and the land of the landlords should still grow food.

After all, fruit cannot be eaten as food, and it must be grown to feed people. Although the thorn fruit can do many things, it cannot replace food.

Of course, Li Yan is also very clear, as the young master of the Li family, he has traveled to several provinces in the northwest because of the voice of the Li family, and he still knows the desert area very well.

If thorns can be grown in those desert areas, it will be really good for the Northwest.After all, the desert became more and more desolate, with fewer and fewer plants, and the desertification of the land became more and more serious. He didn't want to see such a scene.

But now he is not thinking about planting thorns, he looked at the old village head and said, "You said that the fruits of thorns usually mature between August and October, so now?"

It's January now, but it's still snowing in the northwest?How come these thorn fruits are ripe?It's different from what the old village chief said.

The old village chief looked at the kind-faced Li Yan, and said mysteriously, "It's all because of the blessing of the gods. The gods help us make these thorns bear fruit early, so that we can earn money and live after selling the fruits." down."

Li Yan didn't understand the old village head's thoughts, but he didn't go into the details, but looked at the red thorny fruit and said, "Old village head, do you have any buyers for these fruits?"

Hearing this, the old village head asked with a smile, "Does Young Master Li plan to buy these fruits?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "According to what you said, the old village chief, these thorn fruits can be used to make wine or used as medicine. If this is the case, it will be considered a waste for our Li's Trading Company to buy them."

"Food is still relatively scarce here in the northwest, but everyone likes to drink. If these thorn fruits can be used to make wine, they can be regarded as a substitute for grain wine."

If the wine made from the thorn fruit is really delicious, it may be able to replace the grain wine, so that the northwest can leave more grain for food.

There are many people in the Northwest Army who like to drink. There is not so much food in the Northwest. Basically, they will buy more wine from Jiangnan or the Central Plains every year. There are more abundant food and high food production, so Will make a little more wine.

As for fruit wine, the yield of fruit in this era is not as high as that of later generations. Even if we make fruit wine, the yield will not be as high as that of grain. Basically, what we drink is grain wine.

When Li Yan was chatting with the old village head, the old village head sent someone to call Yu Chunsheng over.

Although Yu Chunsheng is not the head of the village yet, but because he basically leads everything in the village during this period, the old village head also thinks that Yu Chunsheng is more suitable to be the head of the village, mainly because he has a son who is "favoured by the gods". , so the village chief thought it would be better for Yu Chunsheng to be the next village chief.

In fact, the head of Yujia Village is not hereditary, so the sons of the village head don't think that the next head of the village is Yu Chunsheng or that he has robbed them of the position of head of the village.

Yu Chunsheng was quickly approached, and then Yu Chunsheng and Li Yan chatted about buying thorn fruits. Li Yan could receive fresh thorn fruits, and the price was negotiable.

Yu Chunsheng has been tempered during this period of time. Originally, he was a courageous and active person. After being taught by experts during this period, he has improved even more.

Although Yu Chunsheng was not as powerful as Li Yan who had been with his father since he was a child, he was able to not show timidity when facing Li Yan.

Just as the two of them came and went to bargain, Chen Wenjiu also found out that Li Yan, the young master of the firm, had come over.

She could see Li Yan's appearance clearly from a distance, wearing a fox fur cloak and a fox fur hat, he looked like a handsome man in ancient costume.

Of course, Li Yan's appearance is not similar to those male stars she has seen before, but the other party is indeed very good-looking, very gentle and handsome.

Chen Wenjiu didn't bother Li Yan and Yu Chunsheng to discuss business, after all, she and this Young Master Li were strangers, and she didn't intend to strike up a conversation, so why bother?

Chen Wenjiu followed Yu Xiaohua and the others to pick fruit in another direction. She looked at the 200-acre fruit forest and thought that she might have to find suitable plants in the Northwest desert and desert from Chen Nuannuan in the future. plant.

Of course, you also need to look for it on the interstellar side. After all, the geography on the interstellar side is diverse. Although the various plants are much smaller than the population and land area, there are also many species.

Nie Zhenzhen walked to Chen Wenjiu's side, and lowered her voice to gossip with her, "I heard that Young Master Li just now has inextricable connections with the young commander of the Northwest Army."

"Huh?" Chen Wenjiu was also aroused to gossip.

"what happened?"

"Young Master Li is the young master of Li's Commercial Company. I heard that he learned how to do business from his father since he was a child. He started to do business independently at the age of 18. In five years, he has mastered all the businesses of the Li family."

"I heard that Young Master Li's father has officially retired and stayed at home to take care of himself, and he has become the person in charge of Li's Commercial Bank."

"The reason why he was able to control all the business of Li's Trading Company at such a young age and suppress the elders of Li's family is because he has the support of Wei Ying, the young commander of the Northwest Army."

Chen Wenjiu nodded, "After all, this is the era of warlords, so what if the Li family is rich? If they have money but no combat power, they will be easily robbed."

"Yes." Nie Zhenzhen nodded and said, "Li Yan has Wei Ying's support behind him, but Li's business will also share some profits with the Northwest Army, which is mutually beneficial."

Chen Wenjiu nodded. Since Li Yan has the support of Wei Ying, a young commander of the Northwest Army, behind him, maybe he is a good partner?
After all, in this troubled world, power is more powerful than money.
