Chapter 387 Beautiful Misunderstanding
Lu Xiaohao came back to his senses and raised his eyelids slightly: "Huh?"
Yang Song asked cautiously: "Master, do you think, when will I send another post to Miss Bai?"
Speaking of this, Yang Song felt a little uncomfortable.
He and his master managed to escape halfway with the Baijiabao caravan, and they were friends after all. Why did Taohua Village not respond to their invitations?
His master was in despair before, but the situation is different now.
But soon, Yang Song comforted himself, forget it, it's normal for Dongzhou to not understand things about the capital.
Although he comforted himself to be patient, Yang Song was so anxious that he almost broke into Peach Blossom Village, if he could make it through.
His master finally gained some recognition, and if he wanted to stand firm, he needed to make some political achievements.
If he can get the support of the Baijiabao caravan, his master will be even more powerful.
This is why they preferred to travel to Hushan despite knowing that the epidemic was serious in Dongzhou.
Fortunately, it has been more than a month since the epidemic broke out, and the Baijiabao Caravan provided medicinal soup for the epidemic, so that this epidemic is no longer something everyone talks about.
At this moment, except for the source of the epidemic, which is still recovering slowly, other areas have basically returned to normal life.
Nowadays, cities and towns are no longer panic-stricken when they find infected patients. Even when people find themselves or their family members feeling slightly unwell, they immediately drink the medicine.
Regardless of whether it is an epidemic or not, drink the medicinal soup first and then look at the symptoms to identify it.
If it is an epidemic, then the medicine will be used quickly and the recovery will be quick. If it is not, the medicine should be used as a preventive measure.
Lu Xiaohao and his party arrived in Junji Town just three days ago. If entering Junji Town requires repeated inspections, then the inspections experienced in Taohua Village are stricter.
It can be said that the only thing left to do is to remove the skin and bones for inspection.
As soon as Lu Xiaohao arrived in Junji Town, he ordered someone to send a greeting card to Taohua Village.
Junji Town has been under strict control for more than a month. The daily lives of the people in this town have not been affected at all, but many merchants who come to Junji Town to purchase goods have not.
So many greetings were sent to Taohua Village that the pile was more than one meter high. Many people might not get a reply even after waiting for five or six days. Of course, Lu Xiaohao's greetings were also lined up at the back.
Lu Xiaohao's eyes once again swept across the people talking in the lobby and said: "Tomorrow."
"As long as I don't receive a reply, I will send a greeting note every day."
Yang Song: "Yes."
Soon, today's greeting card was sent to Taohua Village, and Yang Song continued to look at it with his eyes and nose, and his nose and heart.
Listening to the people in the teahouse detailing the good deeds done by the Baijiabao caravan that benefited the country and the people, Yang Song was surprised and couldn't help but secretly admire them.
Lu Xiaohao was also a little distracted after hearing this, and thought to himself that this hidden clan really came here to save the world and protect the country.
The Baijiabao Caravan established a relief hall to help orphans whose parents died and were living abroad.
On the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, a tent is set up to provide porridge, and some clothes are regularly donated to poor children at home.
Build roads and bridges, eliminate bandits and other evil forces, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, and merchants can do business in Junji Town with confidence.
It advocated equality between men and women, and girls could also go to school to study and become literate, which improved the value of books and allowed ordinary people to read and afford books.
Women are hired to do work and paid the same wages as men, impartially.
There was also a serious epidemic this time, and the Baijiabao caravan started setting up cards to help the victims of the epidemic without saying a word.
The most important thing is that Taohua Village has improved several types of grain, increased grain production, etc. Lu Xiaohao's competitors sneered at the news that eight hundred kilograms of grain per mu was produced. He was the only one who absolutely believed that eight hundred kilograms of grain per mu existed even if he had not seen it with his own eyes.
Not for anything else, just because he believed in Peach Blossom Village, and believed in the white peach who could make the entire Peach Blossom Village label a deer as a horse.
This was also the reason why he refused to listen to the dissuasion of his subordinates and came to Junji Town in person.
"How are you doing with your inquiries about grain seeds?"
Yang Song quickly picked up his energy and replied: "Master, I have made inquiries in the past two days. Based on the previous intelligence, the situation is indeed true."
"For more than a month, in addition to the people in the city, other grain and oil stores have also quietly purchased grain from the Baijiabao caravan to stock up."
Hearing this, a stern look flashed in Lu Xiaohao's eyes. Throughout history, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Many times, it is these profiteers who make it difficult for the country to make money and accelerate the country's destruction.
The Jin State is now inevitably persecuted by profiteers, and one day, he will definitely deal with them.
Yang Song: "It's just that no matter how these grain and oil stores buy it, the grain and oil stores in Baijiabao Caravan are not experiencing food shortages, let alone giving these grain and oil stores the opportunity to sell grain at high prices."
"Those grain and oil merchants were swearing and blowing their beards and staring in anger." At this point, Yang Song couldn't help but feel happy.
When Lu Xiaohao heard this, the coldness in his eyes immediately dissipated a lot, and he smiled: "As expected of a reclusive clan."
He said this so vaguely that Yang Song didn't hear it clearly and couldn't help but ask: "Master, what did you say?"
"Nothing, just keep talking."
Regarding the fact that Taohua Village is a reclusive clan, Lu Xiaohao did not intend to publicize it. After all, it would not be of any benefit to the Jin royal family.
"Yes." Yang Song continued to report.
"Master, even if the yield of eight hundred catties per mu is nine out of ten, it is still low."
Surprise flashed in Lu Xiaohao's eyes, and even though he lowered his voice, he could not hide his excitement: "Are you sure?"
Yang Song nodded: "OK."
If he wasn't 70% to 80% sure of the news, he wouldn't have reported it to his master.
"Master, I got this information from two villages, Fudaoshang Village and Fudaoxia Village. If they didn't still have an impression of me, I might not have been able to find out."
In fact, Taohua Village did not prevent Shangcun and Xiocun from telling the story about the high-yielding grain seeds. Baitao even wanted more people to know so that she could make money by selling the grain seeds.
It's just that the people in these two villages think this is a good thing and value it extremely, so they are strict with themselves.
Yang Song continued: "The people in these two villages are the people who escaped with the Baijiabao caravan. They are now vassal villages of Taohua Village. This year they are growing the grain seeds provided by Taohua Village."
"It is said that people in these two villages planted two crops of rice this year, and each season produced 900 to 1,000 catties per mu."
Lu Xiaohao was surprised and couldn't help but be excited.
In this way, the output of this grain is quite stable.
Even if the yield of such high-quality, high-yielding grains can only be 500 to 600 kilograms per mu, as long as farmers in the Jin state can grow them, the food problem in the Jin state can be solved, and the national treasury will not have to worry about being full.
"They also planted sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the yield was even higher than rice."
Yang Song said with regret on his face and said: "It's just that they value these high-yielding grains very much. I tried several methods to prevent them from being seen."
