Ming Dynasty: Hanging out in Beiping County, Chapter 229: The rice is ripe on the farm Latest website: And for so much money in the mansion, the old housekeeper Guo Lin has been greedy for a long time.
With Guo An's words, the old housekeeper quickly started to take action.
With the prosperity of Zhangjiawan Wharf, many refugees from the disaster in the south came to Beiping Mansion to seek life.
Moreover, this year, in Beiping Prefecture and Wanping County, Guo Changshi can serve as a nursing home.
For those young and strong, it is an honor.
Even working as a tenant farmer for Guo Changshi, the people were fighting over many things.
In this way, it will take less than a few days.
Guo Mansion has ten more nursing homes.
As for the fields under Guofu's name, there are more than 3,000 acres, all of which were purchased at a premium.
The Guo family's money has finally been reduced by more than half.
At the same time.
Guo An finally started to go to the palace for duty under Zhu Di's repeated urging.
A few days ago, I first looked at the account books.
Furthermore, go to the farm or various workshops and inspect them one by one.
During this period, Guo An was too busy to look for Zhu Di.
As for Lan Yu's slanderous remarks to the prince, Guo An didn't inquire about a word, as if nothing happened.
Zhu Di was filled with emotion about this.
Guo Qing is indeed the generation of Huai Jin and Yu.
But he didn't know that Guo An knew clearly about the future of him, King Yan, or Prince Zhu Biao, or even Lan Yu and others, and he had no curiosity at all.
Of course, in Guo An's eyes, any of the workshops, academies, farms, and Zhangjiawan Pier in Prince Yan's Mansion are much more important than Sapphire.
As for the gunpowder workshop, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting should be asked to study how to make better firearms. Furthermore, they should be asked to teach the students in the craftsman school.
These are the future craftsmen of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Then I took a casual look to see if anyone was causing trouble for these craftsmen’s workshops.
However, fortunately, in the past two years, Prince Yan's palace has been very wealthy. Even if these craftsmen's workshops are all gold-eating monsters, no one dares to embarrass these workshops.
As for the academy.
When Guo An followed Zhu Di to conquer Goryeo, several rows of houses were added behind the academy.
Although the location is not as good as the previous houses, the space is larger and the layout is even more exquisite.
Therefore, the selling price is one hundred taels more expensive than the previous houses.
There are also dozens of students from poor families in the academy.
As for Zhangjiawan Pier, it has been expanded again.
Now, there are hundreds of merchants coming in and out of Zhangjiawan Wharf every day, which is already more prosperous than Tongzhou City.
Of course, what makes Guo An happy the most is the rice on the farm.
In a field of one hundred acres, the rice grains are full and plump, and they are obviously larger than the rice grains in the fields next to them.
After staring for a long time, Guo An looked happy and said, "Congratulations to my brothers, the rice improvement was successful!"
On the side, Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi, whose faces were sunburned and purple, were all grinning and their eyes were full of smiles.
"Thanks to Ning Yi for this, we never expected that rice could be improved like this!
Moreover, it can also be grown..."
"There are laws to be found in everything."
Guo An continued to praise: "However, with these hundred acres of rice, the reputation of these brothers can surpass that of our ancestors!"
Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi were immediately shocked and waved their hands repeatedly.
"Ning Yi is joking, Guo Taishi is such a great talent, how can we dare to compare with Guo Taishi?"
"Food is the most important thing for people!"
Guo An said with a serious face, "This rice field will definitely increase the yield by 15% compared to the rice field next to it. Who in the world can match this great achievement?
Brothers, please stop being humble..."
"Yeah..."
Suddenly, the farm steward Ding Shang, who had been standing aside with a silly smile on his face, opened his eyes and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
And Guo An already has two more ears of rice in his hands.
"Guo Changshi, why are you doing this?"
Ding Shang's face was filled with distress.
If someone else dared to ruin such good rice, Ding Shang would have already taken action and broke that person's hand.
You know, since the rice was planted, he has led people to guard it day and night, weeding, plowing, watering, and even if there is a bird flying above, he will lead people to shoot it down. p>
However, now Guo An actually pulled off the rice in front of him.
Ding Shang could only stare anxiously!
Guo An smiled slowly and said: "Don't worry, Old General Ding, this rice field has turned yellow and is ripe for harvesting.
For such a great achievement, I will definitely take this rice back and present it to His Highness!"
"To Your Highness?"
Ding Shang's face was startled, and then he was filled with excitement. He had never thought of this before.
"It should be dedicated to His Highness, it should be dedicated to His Highness..."
On the side, Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi also looked happy.
Guo An asked again: "Brothers, how is the orchard this year?"
Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi suddenly said with excitement on their faces: "Ning Yi, we have grafted apricots as big as a child's fist, which are sweet and sour... and there are also big and sweet peaches... and plums.
..."
The more Guo An listened, the happier his face became.
"I also asked some brothers to take me to take a look. I also want to bring these good things back to His Highness to have a taste!"
"Okay!"
Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi took Guo An directly to the other side.
Ding Shang said cautiously, "Guo Changshi, as soon as these peaches and apricots are ripe, we will pick them and send them to the palace!"
"Really?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Guo An's eyes, "Why haven't I seen it before?"
Ding Shang's face couldn't help but look a little weird.
Guo An continued: "This time, I will definitely pick more!"
However, Guo An was disappointed.
One hundred acres of orchard, all trees are still half-sized.
