My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 56

Lin Xianyang and Lin Liangjun were very surprised to see that Su Ze had just made a fortune for the young commander, and the other party hurriedly withdrew the checkpoint.

Lin Liangjun recalled that when Su Ze first arrived in Changningwei, he had solved the Holy Grail he had thrown for himself. Could it be that Brother Aze really came down to earth from a god?
Little Luobotou immediately said: "Brother Aze, are you really a fairy? Can you tell me what kind of wife I will ask for?"

Su Ze frowned on purpose, and paused for a while before saying, "How can I count what I don't have?"

Hearing what Su Ze said, Lin Liangjun was about to burst into tears. Could it be that he was going to be alone for the rest of his life?

Su Ze said with a smile: "Man is determined to conquer the sky. Divination and fortune-telling are just for psychological comfort. Don't believe in such things at such a young age."

Lin Liangjun still frowned and asked, "Then how did you let the young commander envoy you?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "I didn't calculate it, but reasoned it out."

"reasoning?"

Su Ze nodded and said: "The imperial court has an official document to send the censor to the Qing army. The Yanping Guard has been passed down for six generations. There are too many dirty things about the ancestors. It is too late to be busy with the censor. The most fearful thing is that the subordinates will make trouble."

"In addition, the arrival of the new magistrate of Yanping Prefecture is the time when the new official takes office. If I were the commander of the Yanping Guard, I would definitely not let my own son come out to set up a robbery, so this young commander must be lying. I took my father's tiger skin and came out privately to set up a card to force donations."

"If it's okay on weekdays, maybe the commander acquiesced. Doing this kind of thing at this juncture will definitely cause physical pain."

Lin Xianyang was a little ignorant, but the eccentric Lin Liangjun heard Su Ze's meaning, he slapped his thigh and said:
"It turns out that this is the magic trick in the storybook! Brother Aze, you are really Sima Yi reincarnated!"

Luo Guanzhong was born in the late Yuan Dynasty, and now "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has become popular all over the country. The bookstore in Jianyang even specially printed the Romance of the Three Kingdoms comic book with pictures.

Su Ze patted him on the head and said, "It's Zhuge Liang who is reborn!"

Lin Liangjun said: "That's good! Brother Aze, I want to learn this reasoning technique from you! In the future, if my brother wants to hit me, I will know in advance!"

Su Ze was stunned for a moment and said: "Everything has a reason. You must first understand the reason of everything before you can deduce the reason. You don't know all the words yet. You must first learn how to read and write!"

Amidst the fighting, the group finally returned to Changningwei.

After sending Lin Liangjun back to Baihu Mansion, Su Ze led the donkey back to the family temple in the setting sun.

"Brother is back!"

The little turnip head Lin Cainiang, who was standing watch at the door, finally saw Su Ze coming in the dusk. She shouted to the family temple while rushing towards Su Ze.

Su Ze touched her head, then took out a red string and a piece of brown sugar wrapped in lotus leaves from his sleeve, and finally calmed the little carrot head.

Su Ze saw Ninth Aunt who was leaning on crutches behind the door, and couldn't help but feel warm.

Although the county is good, I still feel at ease in Changningwei.

This trip made Su Ze have a more sense of belonging to Changningwei. Compared with the chaotic county town, Changningwei, which is isolated from the world, has a taste of a peach blossom garden.

Just like when he settled down in the family temple, Su Ze ate cold vegetable porridge and told Ninth Aunt and Lin Cainiang what happened in the county.

Hearing the little carrot head yelled regret, and clamored that he would go to the city with Su Ze next time.

After dinner, Su Ze tested Lin Cainiang's homework for the past few days. After gaining two more experience points for the "Enlightenment" skill, Su Ze asked Lin Cainiang to go back to rest, and found Ninth Aunt who was sitting cross-legged in the family temple.

"Auntie, do you know Xu Shisheng, the county scribe?"

Ninth Aunt stared wide-eyed and asked, "You mean Xu Hu, the scribe of the county government office? Did he bother you?"

Su Ze shook her head quickly, and Aunt Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"This Xu Shisheng is as cunning as a fox. You must not provoke him in the county government in the future."

Ninth Aunt sighed and said, "This Xu Shisheng has a grudge against Changning Wei."

Su Ze quickly asked: "Xu Shisheng is a county clerk, so why did he have an enmity with our Changning Guard?"

Su Ze also found out from Hai Rui that Xu Shisheng was the head of the tax collector in charge of the county government, but Chang Ningwei was a military guard and didn't need to pay taxes to the county government, so how did he have any contact with this Xu Shisheng?

Ninth Aunt said: "That was when Laobaihu was there. This Xu Shisheng once found Laobaihu and asked for some 'goods' in Changningwei."

Su Ze immediately understood that Xu Shisheng was asking Chang Ningwei to help him smuggle.

However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the coastal guards. It is good to just borrow the pier of the guards.

"The old Baihu didn't want to offend him. At that time, the old Baihu also opened the door for Qianhu, so it wasn't a big deal at all."

Su Ze doesn't comment on the behavior of ordinary households, but guards like Changning Guard are indeed the cleanest ones.

"The cooperation was good at first. After Xu Shisheng took a few boxes of goods from Changningwei, he proposed to send more goods. Originally, the ordinary households would agree, but they accidentally discovered Xu Shisheng's smuggled goods."

"What is it?"

"Bow and arrow."

Su Ze fell silent for a while.

In ancient times, bows and arrows were considered strategic materials.

Ordinary people take to the streets to defend themselves with short blades, and the government generally doesn't say anything, but if they walk through the city with bows and arrows, they will definitely be arrested.

If it is just smuggling of common goods, common households can turn a blind eye.

But to smuggle bows and arrows, the only ones who rely on smuggling to buy bows and arrows are Japanese pirates in the southeast.

"Changningwei and the Japanese pirates are mortal enemies. How can the ordinary households tolerate collaborating with the enemy to send bows and arrows to the Japanese pirates? The ordinary households withheld Xu Shisheng's goods and are going to the county government to report him."

"and after?"

"Later? Then Xu Shisheng falsely accused the old Baihu of smuggling the bows and arrows to the Japanese pirates, turning the lawsuit into a muddled lawsuit. This matter was supposed to be submitted to the Yanping Mansion for retrial, but the old Baihu was suddenly ordered to go to sea to fight, and then died at sea. , this matter is gone.”

Su Ze thought about it. Xu Shisheng was just a county clerk, and bows and arrows were contraband. With Xu Shisheng's energy, he couldn't afford such a business.

There must be someone behind Xu Shisheng, and the person who can smuggle a large amount of bows and arrows must be a key figure in the Fujian military officer system.

Will there be some hidden secret behind those ordinary households who went to sea to die?
Su Ze now understood why this Xu Shisheng wanted to put Chang Ningwei to death, it was indeed an endless hatred.

Xu Shisheng was seized of the goods, and worried that Changningwei had other evidence in his hands, so he wanted to completely destroy Changningwei while the imperial censor was in charge of the Qing army.

Su Ze sighed, Ninth Aunt said:
"These are all matters of the guard, and have nothing to do with you. You just need to study hard."

The people of Changning Guard naturally knew that there might be hidden secrets behind the death of the old hundred households, but Changning Guard was just a small hundred military guards, so they were powerless to investigate this matter.

Seeing Aunt Jiu's worried look, Su Ze squeezed out a smile and said:
"Auntie, I'm just curious. If a hundred households die in battle, they will get a letter from the government."

Ninth Aunt hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the plaque of Jingbiao is still in Baihu Mansion."

Lying on a wooden bed, this trip to the county seat completely shattered Su Zegou's idea of ​​passing the Imperial Examination for Weigan in Changning and passing the imperial examination.

Now the southeast is not a peaceful and prosperous age. Under the prosperity of the Jiajing Dynasty, it is the beginning of a chaotic world.

The southeast region is a war-torn area that suffered from the Japanese invasion, but there is no future when you just bury your head in reading.

After thinking about this, Su Ze naturally set a goal, which is naturally - to make money!
Now the salt pans on the seaside tidal flats have been opened up, and the dry reeds in my own ashi fields have been burned. If I want to continue refining salt, I need fuel.

Although salt makes money, once the rainy season enters the southeastern region, there is no way to dry salt by the sea, and some more stable ways to make money are needed.

The sweet potatoes have been planted for almost a month, but the harvest is still early.Potatoes mature faster than sweet potatoes, and Su Ze plans to promote planting in Changningwei after this batch of potatoes matures.

However, potatoes will quickly degenerate after one or two generations of planting, and the infection will cause toxicity, and this degradation will also reduce the yield of potatoes. To promote planting, these problems must be solved.

Su Ze recalled the knowledge about Lv5 "farming" in his mind. Modern agriculture's technology for detoxifying potatoes is "peeling the tip of the stem", but this technology requires the use of microscopes and culture media. Now Changningwei may not be able to do it under the conditions .

The rest is breeding, but you can pick out the big potatoes with bud eyes and cut them quickly for breeding, which can slow down the speed of degeneration and select non-toxic offspring.

If it doesn't work, sexual reproduction is used to pollinate and breed potatoes, but in this way it is impossible to quickly expand the potato planting area.

Hey, it would be great if I could get the "biology" skill, the microscope needed to peel off the stem tip is just an ordinary optical microscope, or should I get a "physics" first?
It seems that it is unrealistic to spread out potato planting all at once. Sweet potato planting also faces the problem of virus-free technology. However, sweet potato planting cycle is long and the yield is high. You can choose healthier cuts for breeding, but it can be planted safely for several years.

Why didn't I choose agronomy?
