Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

On the way down the mountain, Shen Yuan did not forget to tell Bai Yixue: "At that time, we must send more people to the snow mountains of the Western Regions to find out if there are such crops that can grow in such a cold place, and the entire Western Regions can be cultivated."
"Yes." Bai Yixue also nodded affirmatively, "It takes two to three years to raise cattle and sheep. If there is such a cold-resistant crop in the Western Regions that can be grown, then the entire Western Regions will be saved."
"That's right, His Royal Highness the King of the Night will definitely be able to exchange this kind of crop with the King of the Western Regions for the greatest support and benefits." Shen Yugan said while secretly feeling, fortunately, there is no such crop as highland barley in the Western Regions in this fictional world.

And this kind of crop is of great significance to the high and cold regions of the Western Regions. Once the seed value is spread, it will definitely become one of the staple foods of the entire Western Regions.

The two of them went down the mountain while chatting, seeing that it was still early, they were about to pack up their felt bags and leave.

At this time, more than a dozen men came down the mountain, and the leader was the head of Ha Kun, followed by the heads of the other four villages.

Seeing that Shen Yuan and the others were about to collect the felt bags, the men ran over without saying a word: "Let's come~~ Let's come."

Village Chief Ha Kun said, "Dong Shen's family, they know you haven't left yet, so they insisted on coming over to express their thanks to you."

As they spoke, several village chiefs took out cloth bags one by one, with more or less a few cordyceps lying in them, insisting on Shen Yu'an to accept them.

Shen Yuan didn't have the nerve to accept it, and waved his hands again and again: "Four village chiefs, listen to me, I really didn't help everyone, it was the village chief Ha Kun who helped you, and distributed the food to you, just remember his kindness.

"Without the big boss raising so much food, the village chief Hakun is equally helpless. Thank you to the big boss and the villagers of Shenjia Village." Shen Yuan refused to accept it, but everyone refused, so Shen Yuan had to accept it.

The men over there had already packed up the felt bags, and the group went down the mountain.

Shen Yuyan looked at Ha Kun and the others: "Several village chiefs, this locust plague may not last for a day or two, just wait for the grass on the grassland to grow up to feed cattle and sheep, this process is too long, you can't survive without food For a long time, don’t you consider growing potatoes?”

Village Chief Ha Kun shook his head: "Everyone tried to grow potatoes before. The seedlings are as small as a fist, and the potatoes grown are smaller than your fingers. It's useless."

Shen Yu'an was depressed for a moment, guessing that this kind of genetically modified potato is limited by geographical conditions and is not resistant to high and cold temperatures.

"It's almost autumn, locusts won't come again, right?" Shen Yuan asked looking at the grassland without a trace of green.

"I don't know." Village Chief Hakun shook his head helplessly, "There was a round more than ten days ago, and the grass just got a little tender and was eaten by them again, alas.'

Several other village chiefs analyzed, "These days are sunny and hot during the day, but suddenly cold at night, with a big temperature difference. I may freeze to death within a few days, and I probably won't come again."

"As long as there are no more locusts, we can grow anything. After all, it will not be so easy to be hungry." Everyone is full of hope.

The village head of Jishui Village answered: "Grow radishes and Chinese cabbage, sell them if you can, and fill your stomach if you can't sell them." It is true that you can use them to fill your stomach, but the nutrition of radishes and Chinese cabbages cannot be used to make food. Staple food, long-term eating will also cause problems.

Shen Yuan thought for a while, "After your radishes and cabbages are produced, all the radishes and Chinese cabbages needed by all the restaurants in our Tianxia Commercial Bank will be purchased from you. Not to mention all of them can be purchased, half of them should be no problem."

Shen Yu'an is not the heart of the Virgin, but the radish and Chinese cabbage grown in the alpine region will be particularly sweet and crisp, much better than the Central Plains.

Of course, the most important thing is that few people grow radishes and Chinese cabbage in the Central Plains.

There are no spicy cabbage in restaurants in Lingzhou City, and the Chinese cabbage needed by Fengming Restaurant is from the vegetable farmers next to Momo County on Shenyong Road, and the price is relatively expensive.

Therefore, buying the radishes and Chinese cabbage grown by them is also a win-win situation.

Shen Yuan wanted to make an appetizer a long time ago, sweet and sour, crispy and spicy radish. As long as there are radish raw materials, this appetizer before meals will definitely be loved by diners.

After hearing these words, several village chiefs were moved beyond measure.

"In this way, we can sell radishes and cabbages for food, so we won't be able to survive this winter." Village Chief Ha Kun raised his dark face, full of hope.

After returning to Hakun village chief's house, Shen Yuan signed contracts with several villages to buy the radishes and Chinese cabbage grown by them.

Naturally, Shen Yuan would not do this kind of profiteering business. For mutual benefit, he naturally had to buy it at a fair market price.

Anyway, the contract was signed at a price lower than the market price, and a deposit of 100 taels of silver was given to each village.

After the completion, under the welcome of everyone, the village chief Ha Kun took Shen Yu'an and the others back to Dazhou by boat.

After disembarking from the boat in Dahe Town and saying goodbye to the village chief Ha Kun, Shen Yuan was about to send the three hidden guards away, and told them to go back to Lingzhou City.

One is that Zhang Neng will come soon, and the other is that the hidden guards are secretly protecting her, which is very hard and unnecessary.

According to her and Bai Yixue's self-protection, there is absolutely no problem.

In the end, the dark guard named Shadow made a few tricks with Shen Yuan, and the two drew a tie. Now the dark guards had nothing to say, and honestly went back to Lingzhou by boat.

Shen Yuan and Bai Yixue left the wharf of Dahe Town. Along the way, they saw many refugees disembarking from the boat, and they didn't know where they came from. They dragged their families and their families with their shaggy heads and skinny heads to the town.

Shen Yu'an was also very moved when he saw it, and decided to write a letter to Li Ran as soon as possible, telling him about the discovery of the highland barley crop, and see how he can negotiate with the king of the Western Regions.

Among other things, the influx of so many refugees into Dazhou would also cause chaos.

On the way to Baohetang, refugees from the Western Regions were kneeling on both sides of the street. The children stared at the passers-by with hungry eyes and longing eyes, which made people feel sad.

"Quick, hurry to the west of the city, the county magistrate is serving porridge there."

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the refugees, and they rushed to the west of the city.

"Shen Dadong's family~~ finally found you." Before reaching the entrance of Baohe Hall, Master Li came quickly.

"What's the matter, Master Li?" Shen Yuan stopped and looked over.

"The county magistrate is looking for a way to resettle the disaster victims in the Western Regions, and I would like to invite Mr. Shen's family to come over and give advice."

Shen Yuan lamented that the county magistrate Sun was an upright official with great love to tolerate the world.In response, he followed Master Li to the west of the city.

Four large pots in the west of the city were cooking porridge, surrounded by three or four hundred refugees from the Western Regions, each of them queuing up to receive the porridge with broken bowls in their hands.

If Da Zhou hadn't planted potatoes everywhere that locusts wouldn't eat, it would be the people of Da Zhou Kingdom who were looking for a way out.Comparing your heart with your heart, people can't help but be touched.
