Chapter 451 Trading
After about a cup of tea, Ze Feng flew back to Liu Hanyue and handed a delicate wooden box made of golden nanmu to Yan Shu.
When Yan Shu reached out to take the wooden box, he felt a coldness on his fingertips.
The Buddha's seed lotus was sent all the way from southern Xinjiang to Xinyang. Ice cubes were constantly used to keep the petals fresh. The golden nanmu also has a good imitation rot effect.
When Yan Shu opened the wooden box, a refreshing fragrance of flowers hit his nostrils.
There is a golden and white lotus in the box. The tip of the flower is pure gold, which is similar to the golden lotus of Buddhism, so it is named Buddha Lotus.
"It is indeed a Buddha seed lotus. With this lotus, I can give you medicine. I will send someone to deliver the first course of medicine in three days at most. You can recover after taking it on time for half a year."
Liu Hanyue smiled faintly: "Why don't you, sister, send the medicine in person?"
"I will be quite busy recently. If you feel any discomfort while taking the medicine, you can send someone to call me. When the first course of treatment is over, I will come to the house to help you see a doctor."
Liu Hanyue held her mandible with one hand and stared straight at her with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes.
"I heard that my sister has developed some skin care products, but they are hard to find in Mrs. Liu's rouge shop?"
"What? Do you want to buy a set to use?"
Liu Hanyue chuckled, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, casually raising her legs, and swaying slightly with the swing of the rocking chair.
"As a grown man, I don't need this, but I am interested in doing another business with my sister."
"Oh? Tell me."
"The thing on the mountain behind Banpo Village."
Yan Shu looked slightly startled, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart.
How did Liu Hanyue know about potato planting in Banpo Village? The villagers should not take the initiative to disclose the information to the outside world.
Seeing Yan Shu's eyes turn cold, Liu Hanyue chuckled.
"Sister, this is Xinyang Mansion. Nothing can escape the attention of the Liu family. Besides, I have always been concerned about my sister's movements."
"Now that you know everything, tell me your purpose."
Liu Hanyue was right. This was Xinyang Mansion, and the Liu family's informants were everywhere. Moreover, the Liu family and his son also knew Jiang Ci's identity, so they would secretly monitor the activities in Banpo Village.
"What is the name of the thing you grow on the mountain? I guess it should be a kind of food, otherwise thousands of villagers in the whole village would not go up to the mountain to open up wasteland."
He only learned about the news there a few days after Jiang Ci and Yan Shu returned to Banpo Village. It must be said that Jiang Ci had sealed off the news on the mountain very tightly.
Now that Liu Hanyue had discovered it, Yan Shu felt that there was no need to lie, and when he heard the conversation between Liu Bin and a group of officials in the back office today, an idea came to his mind.
Xinyang Prefecture has a population of more than eight million. If everyone grows potatoes, the output will be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops, right? This can completely become the base camp for Jiang Ci's rear granary.
She originally wanted to discuss the matter with Jiang Ci after she returned, but Liu Hanyue brought it up first.
"The things grown on the mountains are called potatoes. We discovered them deep in the mountains. We thought they tasted good and had high yields, so we organized villagers in Banpo Village to plant them on a large scale."
Liu Hanyue smiled: "How can you dig out more than a dozen carriages in the deep mountains?"
Yan Shu felt guilty, knowing that this sick girl would not believe what he said.
"Haha, forget it if you don't believe it. When our potato harvest comes, you will realize your ignorance."
Liu Hanyue didn't believe in the origin of potatoes, but since Yan Shu said that the yield was high, it should be true.
“What’s the yield per acre?”
"In a good year, we can produce 5,000 jins per mu. But in the past two years, when the weather has been bad, I estimate that fertile farmland can produce about 2,000 jins. In areas with mountainous areas and water shortages, 1,000 jins should not be a problem. "
Liu Hanyue:......
He, who had always been calm, was shocked at this time.
"Are you sure it's per mu?"
Yan Shu rolled his eyes at him: "If you don't believe it, just wait. In a few months, you can go to Banpo Village and see for yourself the harvest of the villagers."
Liu Hanyue nodded: "Okay, it's settled."
Yan Shu suddenly thought of what Liu Bin said in the Yamen, and she asked Liu Hanyue tentatively.
"By the way, do you know the name of Mr. Hou?"
Liu Hanyue looked at her suspiciously: "Sister, why are you suddenly asking this? You don't have any thoughts about my old man, right? It's better for my sister to look at him than to look at me. I'm younger and fresher than him."
"Stop, what are you thinking about? Actually..."
Yan Shu knew that lying casually would not deceive the sick girl, so he simply told the truth about meeting Liu Bin in the Yamen.
After listening to Yan Shu's words, Liu Hanyue smiled inexplicably.
"I don't blame him for asking about this. Wushang was the name given to me by my grandfather when my father gave me the crown ceremony. It's just that he claimed to be a military commander and few people knew about this name. I'm curious why you are looking for a person named A person without any regrets?"
"Entrusted by others."
Yan Shu secretly pondered, Liu Bin's brand name was actually called Wushang, so could the man in the dream that Pei Qingwan was looking for be Liu Bin?
Pei Qingwan lost her memory but could only remember this name, which showed that the man named Wushang was very important to her.
After getting the Buddha Seed Lotus, Yan Shu got up and left the Hou Mansion.
She headed straight for the Pei family.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Pei Qingwan has recovered from the cold, and her complexion looks much rosier.
Pei Qingwan seemed very happy when she saw Yan Shu.
"I wanted to go to Jiang Mansion to find you two days ago, but my sister-in-law said that you had gone back to the countryside, but you just came back?"
"I just came back yesterday. I asked Mr. Pei to help me find the household registration book of Xinyang Mansion. Currently, there are only two people named Wushang in Xinyang Mansion..."
After Yan Shu briefly explained the situation of the two people, Pei Qingwan was silent for a moment.
"It's probably not them. Although I can't see the person's face clearly, the clothes he wears seem to come from a wealthy family. I also dreamed of him riding a horse to fight on the battlefield. He...maybe he is a general? "
Yan Shu's eyelids twitched and he looked deeply at Pei Qingwan.
"There is another person, but his name is not that. Wushang is his alias. This person is indeed a general."
Pei Qingwan excitedly held Yan Shu's hand: "Who is that person? Is he in Xinyang Mansion now?"
Yan Shu nodded: "You also saw him at the Xinyang government office that day. This person is Liu Bin, the Marquis of Yongding."
Pei Qingwan: Is it him?
-
Yan Shu and Pei Qingwan went to Shiqiao Street in Nancheng and Fuxi Street in Dongcheng and met the two men named Wushang.
The carpenter was short and fat. Pei Qingwan only glanced at his back to confirm that he was not him.
The teacher on Fuxi Street was a tall man, but too thin. He was wearing a gray gown, and from a distance he looked like he was standing on a hemp pole.
"It seems that none of them are." Pei Qingwan was a little disappointed.
If she can't find that person, she won't be able to recover her memory.
