Chapter 82: Sustainable Development
"Haha, Mr. Yang is joking!"
The little Loli looked at Yang Ming again. Except for the dozens of Dawan horses that were worth some money, the rest of the Yang family's caravan made people feel so shabby! Could it be that the Hongnong Yang family had no money and was in decline?!
"We, the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, don't recognize any powerful family. As long as Mr. Yang has enough money or a steady supply of horses from the north, we, the Liang family, can provide him with as much grain as he wants."
Yang Ming: He looks like a profiteer, recognizing money but not people!
"Wan'er, let everyone pack their things and continue on their way, we will ignore their bad things in Jiangnan!"
Lin Wan'er also snorted, turned around and left. This little loli just fell into the money hole and couldn't be saved.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't be like this! Mr. Yang, you are also a young master from a wealthy family, so you can't even bring out some valuable things! Besides, you want a lot of food. I
You really can’t make the decision!”
When the little Lolita saw that Yang Ming wanted to throw away her hands and leave, she suddenly became afraid. In this wilderness, there was famine everywhere and no supplies. How could they, a group of women soldiers, make it to the south of the Yangtze River alive?
"Let me explain to you! I have spent all my wealth to deliver food all the way from Youzhou to the south. Now I am so poor that I only have a few iron mines left. I have no money, food or horses."
"So poor that there are only a few iron ores left?! Are you sure you're not joking?!"
The little Loli was stunned, wasn't salt and iron controlled by the royal family?! How could the Yang family have its own iron mine?!
"In the Tang Dynasty, if I, the Yang family of Hongnong, said that iron ore mines ranked second, no one would dare to claim the first place!"
"Young Master Yang loves to joke! With just a few iron mines, you can get as much food as you need! It's just such a large transaction that I need to go to Daizhou to confirm your true situation."
"Ms. Liang, since you want to do business, let's deal with each other. Just tell us how much it will cost to escort you women's army to Daizhou!"
Yang Ming was not interested in businessmen like Xiao Loli. It didn't matter whether the transaction was successful or not. Anyway, he just wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail these unscrupulous wealthy businessmen for a sum of money. Otherwise, if this continued, he would not have enough food to make wine in Daizhou.
"By the way, Mr. Yang, I will follow you to Daizhou. I won't cause any trouble to you in the process, as long as you are satisfied! Money or not, it hurts my feelings to talk about it! Besides, in return, we will also
I will help protect your food!"
"Hey! You can't say that. You saw it just now. With the strength of the two of us, let alone the world, even if we are proud of Daizhou, no one can do anything to us. Bringing you is just too much.
It’s just a waste of some food.”
The little Lolita was very anxious. Aren't all the young men from aristocratic families arrogant and caring about face? How could I meet such a stingy person who actually started a business with me for such a simple matter?
"That's it! Mr. Yang, it's thanks to your help that we survived this time. To express my gratitude, I can privately dispatch five hundred shi of grain from Suzhou City as a reward. As for the situation on the Liang family, I
We will also report truthfully and strive for cash on delivery!”
My dear, a concubine woman can easily provide five hundred shi of grain, so how rich is the Liang family in Suzhou City!
Yang Ming looked at the loaded carriages behind him, then held Lin Wan'er's right hand tightly with his fingers, and said to the little Loli:
"I still have three thousand shi of grain here, which is enough to meet Daizhou's urgent needs. It doesn't matter to me whether your grain trade in Suzhou City is successful or not. I have a lot of channels to buy grain!"
"As for bringing you back to Daizhou in exchange for the opportunity to cooperate with the Liang family, I think it is not necessary. I will marry the Lin family of Luxian County as my official wife in a while. What I lack now is some female guards. Nothing else matters to me.
Say, it’s not worth mentioning!”
The little Loli suddenly became angry. She jumped up and pointed at Yang Ming and cursed:
"You are so shameless. How can a powerful family be so shameless as you? You actually take advantage of others' danger! Although I am a concubine, I am still a child of the Liang family in Suzhou City. If I humbly serve as your bodyguard in order to survive, then what will happen?
How do the people in the world view our Liang family?!"
Yang Ming was unmoved and said calmly:
"People in the world will only praise the Suzhou Liang family for knowing how to repay their kindness. There is no greater kindness. For the kindness of Wuhui Mountain and one meal, he is willing to serve the Hongnong Yang family. He is an example for Confucian scholars and a model figure for the people all over the world!"
"You...you...you scoundrel!"
Seeing that she couldn't say anything, the little Loli was so angry that Yang Ming didn't know what to do!
"Let's do this! If you are worried that Liang's reputation will be damaged if word spreads in the future, and you are not willing to stay here to wait for death, then let's make a deal."
"What deal?!"
The little Loli stared at Yang Ming suspiciously and uneasily, and that evil smile made her tremble, like a weak and helpless prey being targeted.
"Before Wan'er and I get married, I will protect Wan'er to the death. Although your martial arts skills are all scum, at least there are a lot of people. You can build momentum for Wan'er so that she will not be bullied in Daizhou in the future. I want to
The entire Daizhou family dare not despise my wife!"
Yang Ming transferred more than 100 people from Heimuzhai. If we add the 100 people from Xiao Loli's women's army, and this new force enters Daizhou, the situation may change drastically!
Wan'er felt warm in her heart. She was still worried about what she would do after arriving at Yang's house. She didn't expect that Yang Ming wanted to be in front of him in everything and clear up all the problems for him.
"When will you get married?!"
Yang Ming stretched out three fingers and said firmly:
"Within three months!"
Little Loli made a rough calculation and helped transport the supplies from Wuhui Mountain to Daizhou. After two days of inspection, she would send a messenger from Daizhou to Suzhou, and then wait for the clan elders in Suzhou City to make a decision. This trip would also take a lot of time.
A lot of time.
Well! Three months is not too long, plus my parents’ army needs a place to rest. Anyway, the martial arts skills of the couple are so abnormal, there should be no problems when they arrive in Daizhou!
"Okay! Then we have made an agreement. I, Liang Xiaoyu, will lead my family's army to guard Sister Wan'er for three months. The five hundred stones of grain will be used as a gift for me, Liang Xiaoyu, to celebrate the marriage of the Yang Lin family.
Got it!"
Lin Wan'er was overjoyed that with just a few words, Yang Ming allowed her to temporarily have a female soldier to practice with. It would be great if Elder Liu could be by her side at this time!
--------Dividing line--------
"Xiao Cui, more than thirty refugees have come to seek refuge in Yangjiabao today!"
Liu Yun came to the north of the Valley of the Gods and said to Xiao Cui who was directing the reinforcement of the new city wall.
"Aunt Liu, my young master is so awesome! He can recruit so many people all the way south. I believe that when the young master comes back three months later, what will appear in front of him will be an impregnable city!"
Xiaocui wiped the sweat off her forehead, looked at the dark crowd of city residents working day and night, and replied triumphantly.
Before leaving, Yang Ming told Xiao Cui that as long as there are refugees who come to seek refuge, they must register their detailed information to avoid the appearance of enemy spies. Only by abiding by the laws and regulations in Yangjiabao can one accept asylum in the fort and become a member of Yangjiabao. Be part of it!
"Xiao Cui, it is indeed faster to work with more people, but we don't have much food storage. If my uncle doesn't dispatch more food in three months, our Yangjiapu will be in a food crisis again!"
"I just went to inquire at the mouth of the valley and learned that there is a steady stream of refugees coming from the rear towards our Yangjiapu. If this continues, we may not be able to sustain food for even three months!"
Liu Yun was speechless. Why did she have to worry about food this year? What exactly happened to the Li family that caused such anger and resentment.
"Aunt Liu, what should we do? Before the young master left, he told Xiao Tieniu to quietly start a sustainable industry. At present, their industry alone may not be able to support a hundred people!"
Recently, Xiaocui has only focused her work on building the Yang Family Fort, and has not paid attention to the food situation. Now that Liu Yun reminded her, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Who is Xiao Cui?!
She is a complete foodie and can live without anything except being hungry!
Now the castle has just started to be built, and you are saying that it will be short of food. Are you looking for something to do?
“A sustainable industry?!”
Liu Yun had a question mark on her face. She hadn't heard Xiao Cui say that before! No wonder she hadn't seen Xiao Tieniu and the others coming for training during this period. It turned out that they had other tasks!
"Yeah! Aunt Liu, look at the low-lying area on the other side of the valley. The young master asked people to secretly build a secret passage to bring running water in, so as to avoid the Yang Family Fort being cut off from the water source in the future."
"The young owner of a piece of land over there asked Little Tieniu to lead people to open up wasteland and plant fruit trees. Some poultry were raised under the fruit trees, and a large fish pond was built next to it. Every day, some people went to the Zama River to fish and release fish. Go to the designated pond."
Xiaocui pointed to a fertile low-lying land deep inside the castle and said to Liu Yun.
"Isn't it just planting some fruit trees, raising chickens and ducks, and raising fish by the way?! How can it be combined into a sustainable industry?!"
Liu Yun is good at leading troops in wars, so asking her to assist Xiaocui in handling internal affairs is really difficult for her. This time, she was able to detect the food shortage in time, thanks to Yang Ming who gave her the opportunity to practice and improve her abilities together.
"The young master said that the insects and grass in the orchard can provide food for the chickens and ducks, and in turn their feces can provide natural organic fertilizer for the fruit trees, thus achieving a three-dimensional ecological organic cycle."
"One of the undercurrents will wash away part of the feces and flow into the fish pond, providing natural organic feed for the fish in the pond and accelerating the growth of the fish. The feces excreted by the fish will nourish the soil of the orchard."
"Recycling can reduce most of the output. It is a good sustainable development model. The young master has said that when the time comes, it will be promoted to the whole country to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
Liu Yun was confused. How did her uncle's little head grow so big that he could come up with such a wonderful trick?
"Does Senior Sun know about this?! Do Leader Lin and the others know?! Why don't I let Baihu Village also use this mode?!"
Xiao Cui smiled awkwardly, took a sip of water and replied:
"Our place used to be a den of bandits, with no resources except plundered food. Baihu Village is even poorer. We know that a sustainable industrial development model requires chickens and ducks!"
"Young Master said, stop messing around in Baihu Village for the time being, and save your energy to stock up on some dried fish, dried bananas, and some seasonal things that need to be dealt with quickly, otherwise when the cold winter comes, without the banana trees and fish schools, we will
