Chapter 557： stay overnight

For the next part of the journey, I walked smoothly, but I was a little rushed, and I didn't have the leisurely walk and play at the beginning.

It is set to start at a fixed hour every day, go to the inn or inn to rest before dark, and rest for an hour at noon on the way.

With Zhou Cheng around, Pei Xiu could still ride a horse for a while, but she felt it was okay, not as unbearable as when she came.

The same goes for a few children. They don't want to ride a carriage anymore, so they just ride in front of the guards. The bumps along the way have been reduced a lot, and everyone is very happy while walking and laughing. It's a lot easier than when they came.

When they reached the boundary of Shengzhou, the road was not so smooth. There was a long stretch of wilderness forest along the way. They also encountered it when they came, and they had to sleep in the wild again.

The soldiers ordered in advance as usual, found the place where they had slept in the rough when they came, and sprinkled deworming medicine.

Zhou Yong and the third child knew that they were going to sleep in the wilderness again.

"Are we going to run into gangsters with little eyes again, robbers or something?"

The second child gave up hope, "It shouldn't be possible, right? With so many people in our team, who would dare to rob us blindly?"

"What if you are really blind?"

"Let's ask Daddy to take someone to search a few hills? It's been a long night, and I'm idle..."

The few of them looked at monsters, looking at the third child...

Is this crazy?

Zhou Shan couldn't help but say, "Are you too full? Beasts like to haunt at night, and it's almost like going hunting in the mountains at night."

"Hey~ that's fine!" The third child's eyes lit up.

Zhou Yong attacked him, "Cut~ I have to hurry tomorrow morning, and I eat dry food on the road. How can I have time to do it after hunting? It's not coming out for a picnic, you can bury the pot to make rice anytime, anywhere!"

Well, it's a long night, let's go to sleep honestly!

"Then how long do we have to go on the road?"

Qingsong, who was helping them with their luggage, said, "Listening to the discussion of the guards, it seems that after walking for about 20 days, we should be able to reach the capital."

"That's soon."

"The closer you are to the capital, the less gangsters will dare to stop and rob."

"Why do I sound a little disappointed?"

"Me too…"

"Me too…"

Zhou Shan also nodded.

Suppressing bandits is a great shortcut to making a fortune! They feel it!

They shook their heads, and still helped Qingsong, first set up the tent to sleep in tonight, and stop thinking about it.

The next morning, they set off again.

The closer they got to the capital, the more villages there were along the way. After the last time they slept in the wilderness, they couldn't keep up with entering the city or the post station again.

Fortunately, this time there is a village where they can stay overnight.

The soldiers had ordered in advance, and when they arrived, they went directly to the village chief's house in Niujia Village.

When we first entered the hospital, everyone saw several baskets of sweet potatoes and potatoes piled up in the corner, which was a great surprise.

Pei Xiu and Zhou Cheng glanced at each other, and both saw surprise in their eyes, and they glanced at the small courtyard.

She asked the village chief's daughter-in-law, "Auntie, you have sweet potatoes and potatoes piled in the corner, and corn hanging under the eaves, right? Is it just harvested?"

"Oh, you have good eyesight, you actually know these three treasures."

The village chief’s daughter-in-law was very talkative, and when she asked, she opened her mouth and poured out the beans, telling them about the origin of the crops.

"We are lucky. I heard that these seeds have only been sent to our county, and in the next county to the north, the seeds of these crops have not been distributed, and we will have to wait for the next year."

"We were quite apprehensive when we got it in the beginning of the spring. What kind of unknown thing should we plant? If we don't want it, it's not enough, and we have to take as much as we can after the harvest. We were worried at that time."

"But I didn't expect the yamen to be so reliable this time, and the efficiency is still very high. We call the village chiefs to hold a meeting and send people to teach us, so we can plant it. I didn't expect this thing to be so good. , I really found a treasure. Fortunately, I asked for it at the time."

The village chief's daughter-in-law became happier and happier.

Pei Xiu said with a smile, "It's lucky that it happened to be distributed to this county."

"If the nobles are interested, let the old man tell you, I will let a few daughters-in-law clean the house, and by the way, I will cook a few pots of hot water for you."

"There is Mrs. Lao."

"You're welcome, Madam, it's an honor for the women." The village chief's daughter-in-law entered the house with a smile.

The village chief said with a smile: "When the harvest started in the first two months, the village was boiling, and everyone was as happy as the Chinese New Year. After so many years of planting, I have never seen such high-yielding seeds."

Zhou Cheng asked them about the yield per mu, as well as some conditions during the planting process. It was not much different from what he had planted before, so he felt relieved.

The seeds were handed over by him, of course he cared about it, but it had been handed over to Sinong Temple for trial planting in Huangzhuang, and he couldn't get in.

After the planting was released, he went back to his hometown to see his old father, and he still doesn't know the harvest status of his village.

The seeds on Zhuangzi were sown by a few boys at the time. They had already forgotten about it, and they would remember it when they saw it. What they planted should have been harvested.

"Father, when we go back, let's go to Zhuangzi to see if we have harvested all the seeds we planted in the spring? There are also grapes and green apples. I don't know what they will look like."

Zhou Cheng nodded and asked the village chief, "Then what are you going to do with this?"

"Hehe, Xiao Lao'er plans to sell a part and keep a part for seeding next year. After all, many places don't have this now, so it's very rare."

Pei Xiu looked at the corner of the wall and saw that the amount was not too much, "Is it not sold yet?"

The village chief said with a smile: "I sold it for five cents a pound, and I sold it to a foreign trader. After negotiating the price, they have a lot of goods and there is no place to put them. I will send someone to pull them when I leave soon, and they will be weighed at that time. It's over now."

The Zhou family nodded ~ This is also an opportunity to make money, anyway, keep the seeds and plant them next year.

Only the seeds distributed by the imperial court were limited, and they were distributed according to the head of a person. A family of ten people would distribute ten kilograms of sweet potatoes, ten kilograms of potatoes, and one tael of corn kernels.

Then the harvest of the people in the first year will be limited. If they don't sell, they will keep all the seeds. Next year's harvest will be even greater, and of course the price will drop dramatically.

After all, what is rare is more expensive, and the output of these seeds in the coming year will be dozens of times that of the previous year.

The village chief is eager to realize the cash, and he also understands that who does not want their efforts to bring high returns.

In the next two years, this seed should be able to sell for a good price.

After getting to know them for a while, they also have a bottom line in their hearts.

Although the village chief was a little terrified of Zhou Cheng, he saw Pei Xiu with a smile all the way and looked very kind. He dared to ask, "The noble person is from the capital. Did the family also receive seeds from the government?"

"Well, yes."

"I don't know, how is the harvest in the noble family?"

"I don't know, we have been back home for a few months, and we haven't returned to the capital yet. We don't know how much these crops are harvested in the fields in the capital?"

"How many kilograms did the noble family get?"

"Like the village head's family, it is also distributed according to the family population in the official household registration file, and the head of the servant is not recorded." The official position also subsidized a few kilograms.

The village chief is happy, the court is fair this time.

After staying overnight, they set off again.

On the way back, they didn't have much stuff except their luggage. Although they stopped and walked at the beginning, it took half a day to repair when they encountered a big town, but it was delayed for half a month.
