Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 27
The resources in his hands have expanded. Wang Hou is relying on the 300-acre land near Funiu Mountain. There are two villages with a total population of more than [-]. According to the rules of the late Han Dynasty, these people are all attached to Wang Hou and have no freedom of personality. Although the tenants and slaves are characteristic of this era, most of the villages are old and weak, women and children, and there are only sixty or seventy strong men, but they are still laborers, aren't they?

In addition, more than 40 extra people in the mansion were also sent to the manor by Wang Hou, and his palace finally did not need to be turned into a zoo. More than 200 cows unloaded by Jiehu Chen Deng's ox cart were also pulled to the manor. The greatest wealth is that cattle can be used to cultivate and reclaim more land. On average, three people have two cattle. The Zhaojia Village and Niujia Village under Wang Hou's hands can be regarded as the wealthiest villages in the vicinity.

However, a group of tenant farmers did not have a good impression of this new master.

No way, Wang Hou is a complete construction fanatic. On the first day of inspecting his closed land, he recruited two masons and instructed them to build a spacious shed in Niujia Village, which is closer to Xudu. A cellar several meters deep at night should be built with bricks and cement.

Building a toilet these days is a big job. In order to meet Wang Hou's three-day requirement, the people in the two villages had to follow suit, chopping trees against the cold knife wind and mud. The big guys were as cold as a man. If Sun Tzu rushes to work like that, it can be considered that the work has been completed before the time limit required by Wang Hou

However, this place has just been completed, and before the young and old in Niujia Village can breathe a sigh of relief, it has become the most famous "notorious" place in the entire city of Xudu!
It's not fake smell, it's real smell!
First of all, according to Master Wang’s instructions, all dung from the two villages cannot be thrown away, no matter what kind of horse dung, cow dung, dog dung, human dung, etc., all must be piled in the cellar of this built shed, not to mention, the closed stone shed Two braziers had to be piled up in the house to keep these various squishy "Xiangyun" warm. Under this kind of care, the "fragrant" smell permeated half of Niujia Village within a few days.

On the third day after the completion of the cellar, I came over to inspect it holding my nose. I was not satisfied with the accumulation progress of "Xiangyun", so Wang Hou immediately did something even crazier. Disgusted and ashamed, Cao Hongjie went from door to door to say hello to the big families in Xudu, and contracted Yexiang, a population of 8 to [-] in Xudu.

It took only half a month for such a terrifying army of "Xiangyun" to attack, and the two cellars were full. Amidst the grievances of the villagers in Niujia Village, Wang Hou slapped his hand again. Three more such cellars were dug out. .

However, after all this trouble, Niujia Village became stinky along with Wang Hou's reputation.

In fact, even if Wang Hou didn't do this earth-shattering, stinking ghost and god event, his reputation would already be rotten in the circle of Xudu gentry. First of all, Mr. Cao poured dirty water on him and embezzled a piece of military rations!Corrupt officials!

Then they searched Taicang, killed the warehouse rafter Yang Yong, ransacked the house, and confiscated more than 7000 stones of grain from the Yang family.

Then, Wang Hou beat up the grandson of the direct clan in his clan arrogantly and rebelliously, and yelled at the clan elders, and offended more than half of the Taiyuan Wang family who was not a king but a king. General Wang Zifu gritted his teeth and personally removed him from the Taiyuan Wang family tree.

Wang Hou had the cheek to go from house to house to ask for Ye Xiang, so not only in the scholarly circle, but even among the common people, Ye Xiang Cangcao's name is catchy, and a group of gentry are willing to give Ye Xiang to him, and then use extremely vicious words Tease him behind his back.

However, if someone else got Wang Hou's current reputation, he would either hide his face and run away, or be attacked and killed by a crowd, but he was fine.

No way, Guo Jia lives in his house!This represents the attitude of the prime minister! Even the Taiyuan Wang family who expelled Wang Hou from the clan can't do anything about him now, so his reputation is like a street rat, but Wang Hou can still comfortably live the decadent life of his landlord .

Moreover, Qin Hui has two or three friends, and he, Wang Hou, also has friends among scholars, and he is actually a famous scholar in Xuzhou.

It was still the same hot kang, the brass hot pot on the table was steaming, and the plates of mutton cut as thin as paper were picked up by a chopstick and only turned twice in the boiling pot. It has already changed color and cooked, rolled in sesame sauce, and sent it into the mouth with full flavor. Immediately, a pair of eyes lit up suddenly, and a thumb suddenly stood up.

"nice!"

Chen Deng is also a foodie, otherwise he would not have suffered from parasitic diseases and died of vomiting blood because of his greed for raw fish in history. This fresh mutton hot pot has conquered even foreigners in later generations, let alone Chen Deng, an ancient man. , His whirlwind chopsticks couldn't stop at all, and the mutton on the plate was stuffed into his mouth.

These days, she was dragged by Wang Hou to beg for yellow and white things. The girl Cao Hongjie was in a trance, her eyes were straight and she slipped into her small mouth to suck noodles. At the other corner of the table, Guo Jia was Holding a big white and fat steamed bun, looking up and down, left and right, looking like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, poor ancient man.

It's true, all four plates of mutton went into Chen Deng's belly alone, and he noticed that the other three, especially the protagonist Wang Hou, seemed to have not moved his chopsticks yet, his old face flushed, and this stuff was filled for himself again. Spoon soup, tasted it slowly, reminding himself that he is an elegant Confucian scholar, while changing the topic in admiration.

"Brother Tuqiu not only has a mouth as sharp as a knife, but this life is also unique and elegant. This warm bed like spring, this delicious mutton, Chen doesn't even want to go back to Xuzhou!"

"However, Chen still doesn't understand one thing. Younger brother Wang Xian is quick-witted and highly educated. Why is he so self-deprecating lately? Why do you want to be a yellow and a white, and make those ordinary people gossip behind their backs?"

"Ugh~~~"

Before the words were finished, Cao Hongjie covered her small mouth and vomited sadly. Guo Jia, who lived next to Wang Hou, also had a handsome face trembling slightly. But he finally came back to his senses, and when he mentioned this, he was full of air and straightened his back.

"Brother Yuanlong, have you heard of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

"Oh? It seems to be the Dharma principles taught by those bald wizards from other countries in the White Horse Temple. Fields are divided into six realms, merits and demerits are good and evil, and humans and animals are reincarnated in the six realms. Chen also half-believes it. and relationship?"

"Wang has never experienced the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so I can't talk about whether he believes it or not, but Wang believes in the reincarnation of five grains! The earth produces five grains, and the human food produces human yellow. Returning human yellow to the land, this just completes the whole process." The reincarnation of nature, otherwise, blindly plundering from the land without any return, the land will be exhausted in a few years!"

After dealing with this group of ancients for a long time, Wang Hou has also become more refined, and he put on a show to show off, but his expression gradually became lewd, and the next sentence made Chen Deng jump.

"Brother Yuanlong, believe it or not, next autumn, my old Wang's [-] mu of land can harvest [-] shi of grain!"

Not to mention Chen Deng, even Guo Jia, who ate steamed buns and ate soup, choked and rolled his eyes. He coughed several times while hammering his chest, and then Guo Jijiu screamed inconceivably.

"Is that true? Tuqiu, you didn't drink too much, did you?"

"Bet! I'm going to do it, Brother Feng Xiao, quit drinking!"

"Forehead……"

To be honest, Guo Jia doesn’t believe that the grain output of later generations will be high. The average yield per mu is actually about 370 kilograms, which is about three Han stones. From one stone to three buckets to one stone to five buckets, Wang Hou harvested more than 1000 catties of millet per acre of land, which was like a satellite.

However, alcohol is Guo Jia's lifeblood! It is better to kill him than to let him quit drinking!And Wang Hou was able to save his head from Cao Cao, what if he really did it?

Seeing that Guo Jia's face was cloudy, Wang Hou reduced his bet again, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Wang has done it, Brother Guo will not be able to drink wine made from grain in the future, but only fruit wine, how about it?"

Grapes have been introduced into the country with Zhang Qian's trip to the Western Regions, and wine has also become popular on the tables of nobles in the Han Dynasty. Although the strength of wine in this era is still far inferior to that of grain wine, it can relieve alcohol addiction, isn't it, Guo Jia? He immediately slapped the table: "Okay, this is a bet on Guo. If you do it, brother Tuqiu, Guo will not drink Wuliangjiu again! Guo will do one thing for you! But if you lose, brother Tuqiu Now, how about you also have to deal with something about Guo?"

"If brother Tuqiu can do it, I, Mr. Chen, will also beg you one thing in response to Tuqiu. I will bet on you as I am ordered!"

As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Chen Deng joined the game without hesitation. Seeing the resolute faces of the two, Wang Hou was almost unhappy, as if he had taken advantage of it. It was impatient to pick up the wine glass.

"Speak out!"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

What a bargain!
From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, in fact, the grain output basically did not increase much. The important reason is that the ancients in these eras did not know how to fertilize!It was not until the Ming Dynasty that intensive farming and self-cultivation appeared in the last days of agriculture in the south of the Yangtze River, and the proportion was still not high. Even in the Qing Dynasty, the villages did not pay much attention to the collection of fertilizers.

But among them, the few examples of intensive farming with enough fertilizer and water, the harvest is like a satellite, enough to go down in history, Wang Hou is well aware of the power of biogas liquid plus field method.

Seeing a Guicai Guo and a local tyrant Chen look like he was determined to win, the obscene smile on Wang Hou's face became more and more intense, as if the obscenity was about to overflow.

…………

Today is Chen Deng's wine practice, tomorrow he will bid farewell to Cao Cao, and return to Xuzhou with his official position as the prefect of Guangling. After drinking all afternoon, the two so-called drunkards both drank a little too much, Wang Hou had no choice but to die. They carried Guo Jia back, and sent Chen Deng to the carriage parked at the door, followed by Cao Hongjie who vomited a lot.

Watching Chen Deng's "BMW" swaying further and further away, thinking about the bet just now, Wang Hou had an idea and grabbed Cao Hongjie's little hand again, smiling wickedly.

"Hong'er, let's make a bet! If our farm can harvest four thousand stones this year, will you marry me?"

But Wang Hou ignored one thing. Guo Jia was born in a poor family and had personally farmed. Chen Deng was the head of the family and was quite proficient in the Chen family's harvest. Harvest has no concept.

Therefore, Wang Hou waited for this girl to be full of incredulous and wretched smiles betting with him, but unexpectedly, Cao Hongjie kicked hard on his buttocks.

flutter~

"Go to hell!"
