"General Zhu, what's the big deal in coming all the way to the county office to look for me in such a hot weather? Could it be that His Highness King Yan asked you to give me the contract for the barbecue restaurant?"
Guo An, who was still angry when he got out of bed, suddenly looked overjoyed when he saw Zhu Liang who was sweating profusely in front of him.
"The weather is so hot right now, so you don't have to be in such a hurry. When the sun goes down in the afternoon, it will be cooler, so you can just bring it back!
Come on, don’t be in a hurry, sit down and have a sip of herbal tea and rest for a while!”
"this……"
Zhu Liang looked confused and followed Guo An's wishes and sat down slowly.
Then, with a sip of cold strong tea, Zhu Liang's spirit was shaken and he immediately reacted.
Looking up, he found that Guo An was looking at him expectantly. Without thinking, Zhu Liang explained directly: "Guo County Master has misunderstood. The general is here in such a hurry because of matters on the farm, especially on the farm."
Come and ask Mr. Guo County for advice!"
"Um?"
The expression on Guo An's face instantly faded, "Didn't you come here to give me a contract?"
Zhu Liang was surprised and said: "Mr. Guo County, the barbecue shop has not been opened yet, how can there be a contract? Moreover, who is His Highness King Yan, how can you ask for a contract?"
"That's right. The shop hasn't opened yet, so how can we have a contract?"
Guo An nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Liang with a serious face.
"Why did Zhu Baihu come here?"
Zhu Liang: "..."
"I wonder where Guo Zhixian thinks the farm is suitable? Who else needs to be recruited? In addition, where is the right place for the barbecue shop..."
Zhu Liang asked dozens of questions in succession.
Guo An's face turned dark when he heard this, "Is there no official in His Royal Highness King Yan's palace who knows about these things?"
Zhu Liang replied honestly: "Mr. Guo County, I have never had a farm or barbecue shop in the Ming Dynasty, so no one knows about it!"
"Nuo Da, Prince Yan's Palace..."
Guo An couldn't help but complain, but when he saw Zhu Liang and Wang Zhen in front of him, he quickly shut up.
Here, you may be punished for your words!
"In that case, please invite Zhu Baihu to look at the map with me!"
"Just give me your orders, Mr. Guo County!"
"I remember that the three guards of Yanshan seemed to be stationed here?"
"Guo County Zun's pointer is wrong, the three guards of Yanshan are here!"
"It just so happens that not far from Yanshan Sanwei, here is a land of hills, forests, fertile fields, and wasteland! Moreover, there are also Lu River and Jinshui River flowing through it. It is wide enough and there are few villages.
Can His Highness King Yan take over this piece of land?"
"The county magistrate must have forgotten that Beiping Mansion is a fiefdom of His Highness King Yan!"
"That's good, win as much as you can!"
"Wang Dianshi, bring a piece of white paper over here!"
"Yes, County Lord!"
"What is Guo Xianzun painting?"
"The sketch of the farm saves Zhu Baihu and His Highness Prince Yan from having to explain it clearly and having to come all the way to ask me!"
"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your understanding!"
"There are people living in the middle of the farm, surrounded by various pens for chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and horses. Vegetables and grains are grown in this fertile land. These abandoned fields are left open so that disabled veterans can cultivate and grow some alfalfa when they have nothing to do!"
Well, we need to plant more alfalfa, at least more than a thousand acres!
Horses, cattle and sheep all like to eat alfalfa!
What is alfalfa? If you don't know, you can go to the palace and ask some grooms for advice. Alfalfa has very high nutritional value for horses, cattle and sheep, and it is also very fragrant and sweet.
During the Han Dynasty, alfalfa was discovered by Han envoys in the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions and was used to feed the sweaty horses!"
"Alfalfa has also been seen before, but it still has this effect?"
Zhu Liang and Wang Zhen were stunned when they heard this.
"nature!"
Guo An glanced at the two of them lightly and continued: "Moreover, the young shoots of alfalfa can be eaten by humans and are very nutritious."
"food……"
Zhu Liang and Wang Zhen's eyes widened again.
Guo An continued: "However, alfalfa is destined to be grass, not food. People cannot eat too much! However, alfalfa is used to feed hogs, horses, cattle and sheep, so it must be a high-quality feed."
"In addition, both of you are familiar with silage grass, and you must plant more silage grass! As for other forages that horses, cattle and sheep like to eat, you can ask the experienced farmers, they know best."
"Don't worry, the county magistrate, I will bring Dingran's original words to His Highness King Yan!"
"Um... please tell His Highness King Yan that there are specialties in the industry, and the farm mainly raises horses, cattle and sheep. These must be raised by soldiers who are familiar with horses, cattle and sheep. If there are no such soldiers, even if they are
Even if you spend money, you should also find professional farmers from outside to teach disabled soldiers and generals!
"The general will definitely inform His Highness!"
"Um!"
"As for how many disabled soldiers the farm will recruit, you can decide for yourself. However, the safety of the farm is the top priority, so I, as a civil servant, don't have to worry about it!"
"Don't worry, Lord Guo. Twenty miles away from the farm is the Yanshan Right Guard Station. No thieves will dare to cause trouble!"
"The farm will be built according to this sketch first... However, these two rivers must not be destroyed or polluted!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Guo County!"
"Okay, the most important thing is the barbecue restaurant! The most important thing about the barbecue restaurant is the barbecue pits. You will first send people to build three... no, six barbecue pits!"
"Yes, Mr. Guo County!"
"In addition, there are barbecue shops and barbecue chefs. You, the chef, can first send someone to my house to learn the cooking skills from my cook.
The barbecue restaurant must be big.
At least, the table must be able to accommodate thirty people!
Then, there will be five small private rooms and ten small partitions inside the shop.
If there is a large open space in front of the barbecue shop, even better!
Finally, the barbecue restaurant is best located next to Haizi Pier, so that the merchants can smell the aroma of the meat skewers before they even get off the boat.
even……"
"Guo Xianzun is indeed very resourceful!"
As Guo An spoke, Zhu Liang couldn't help but admire him.
"I will complete the farm sketch, farm plan, and barbecue shop outline in my hand again. You can just hand them over to His Highness King Yan!"
"Thank you, Lord Guo!"
"Well... there is also this contract. As a small magistrate, I can't take advantage of His Highness. You can also help hand it over to Your Highness!"
"this……"
Zhu Liang looked at the two contracts in his hand and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Okay, His Highness King Yan has been waiting impatiently, I will not keep Zhu Baihu!" Guo An urged directly.
"I'll say goodbye!"
Zhu Liang opened his mouth, but left with some hesitation.
"May I ask the county magistrate, does His Highness Prince Yan want to build a farm and barbecue shop?"
As soon as Zhu Liang left, Wang Zhen came up and asked.
Guo An smiled gently, and lay directly on the table under Wang Zhen's expectant gaze, "You'll know in a few days!"
Wang Zhen: "..."
…
Yanwang Palace.
Following the stack of papers that Zhu Liang brought back, Zhu Di, He Zhong, Tang Yun and others all looked shocked.
"How can it still be like this?"
"He Zhong, does this king's farm grow alfalfa?"
"This magistrate of Guo County can actually come up with such a farm, he must be a good official who governs the people!"
Zhu Di said with a happy face: "Haha, how can the county magistrate recommended by this king be a coward?"
"Your Highness is very knowledgeable about people, and I admire you all!"
He Zhong, Tang Yun and others took advantage of the situation and praised him.
Zhu Di grinned slightly, "Now you have understood the sketches and all the requirements for the farm and barbecue shop. I want you to complete the construction within a month!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, if there is not enough manpower, we, the Yanshan Three Guards, have more than 10,000 soldiers, and we can spare half of our soldiers to help!" Tang Yun promised.
"Very good!"
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, and then wiped his forehead with his hand. The palm of his hand was wet, and he couldn't help but feel helpless.
"Okay, let's all go down and get busy. It's getting hot again. Just be careful to prevent heatstroke!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
Several people bowed respectfully and then retreated.
