When they arrived at the agreed place, the other four people were waiting. They didn't eat in the village. That was a mistake. They all ate the dry food they had with them here.

Sun Yu asked various people who led the team, and sure enough, there was no discrepancy in the information, and this was indeed the case. Then the group returned to Jianpu. They had left Jianpu for more than ten days, and the New Year was about to come. What would Sun Yu do next?

I won’t go either, I’ll just stay in Jianpu.

"Lang Jun, why are you up?" Ju Yao came out of the bedroom with a tired look on her face. The business offices were on holiday, and all the accounts for the end of the year were completed last night, so she could finally relax for a few days.

"Watching the Snow Scene" This is the second snowfall in Jianzhou this year. It has fallen so hard that the entire Jianpu City has been covered in white snow. At a glance, it is completely white. On the entire street, there are only some children having a snowball fight outside.

Ju Yao picked up her cloak and walked to the window to put it on Sun Yu. A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, and she instantly became more awake.

"Let's go down first. The pots I asked the blacksmith to make yesterday have been delivered to me. We are just waiting for Mr. Lang to show off his skills." It was a cold day, so Sun Yu thought of making some delicious food at home.

I drew a shape of a hot pot pot, with charcoal fires underneath, and hired a craftsman to make two of them out of copper. On a snowy day, I could feel myself flying into the sky while eating hot pot. The taste is so satisfying just thinking about it.

Sun Yu nodded, the yamen were all on holiday, and even the Jianzhou Army had all taken a break. Today, Sun Yu called a few old men to come here to get together. The Chinese New Year will be coming in two days, so let's have some fun first.

When Sun Yu went downstairs, the maid was already busy downstairs, slicing the mutton and pork into thin slices according to his instructions. As for the vegetables, it was freezing in the cold weather, and there were only a few mushrooms and some mushrooms hidden in the cellar.

Chinese cabbage, anyway, as long as you have meat to eat these days, everything else doesn't matter.

Sun Yu and Ju Yao went to have breakfast first, and then began to prepare the soup ingredients. They put in the dogwood, pepper, ginger, green onions and the like that they could find. Of course, salt was definitely indispensable.

"Lang Jun, can this be eaten?" As the temperature gradually increased, Ju Yao felt that the smell was a bit strong and not very pleasant.

"You have to have confidence in your husband." Sun Yu turned down the air inlet of the stove and went to prepare dipping sauce. There were too few ingredients available, only bean paste, vinegar, and garlic. Just stir it up and the taste would be good. The main thing is

It's because beef is so hard to find, otherwise Sun Yu would want to boil some beef sauce to make it delicious.

Sun Yu moved a pot to the backyard. Ju Yao and the maids were definitely not allowed to sit at the table, so they were asked to sit alone in the backyard while he and the gangsters ate in front.

The preparations were almost complete, but before anyone arrived, Sun Yu was performing a set of boxing techniques in the yard. This boxing technique was taught by his master Qian Yuanzi and imitated the fighting movements of various animals. It was similar to Wu Qin Xi.

But he is even better at fighting.

"Sir, I'm here, Lao Cheng!" The first one to arrive was Lao Cheng. He lived in the military camp and had nothing to do anyway. After breakfast, he came towards the trading house.

"Where's the Bahu?" Sun Yu withdrew his fist and sweat was already visible on his forehead. These days, the two of them should come together.

"Don't mention it, I just stopped by and knocked on the door, but Bahu scolded me." Old Cheng Yao

Shaking his head, since he brought Qiao Niang in a few days ago, apart from training new recruits, there has been no trace of Decepticon, a guy who values ​​sex over friends.

"If you ask me, don't wait for that girl from Wenxiang Pavilion. Her name is Lanxiang, right? I don't know what the year of the monkey is." Sun Yu asked Bahu to sit down and poured him a cup with the teapot. The maids were sent to the backyard.

It’s such a joke, it’s rare to celebrate the New Year, so it should be more relaxed.

"Yes, this long night is hard." Bahu took a sip of tea. His master was right. Even Zhang Daqiu asked a concubine to go back to warm his bed. Xu Yi also picked up his wife long ago.

When they arrived at Jianpu, Sun Sandao also married the former maid of the Su family, leaving him alone.

"It's good to have two maids in a trading company. If you agree, I'll ask Ju Yao to ask. I guess it won't be a big problem." This old Cheng was the first person to follow him, and Sun Yu couldn't bear to see him always.

Wandering around alone. With his status as Lao Cheng, it would be a good home for the maid, and he would probably agree.

"No, I, Old Cheng, still want that girl Lanxiang, and I will never give in!" Old Cheng thought about it for a while, and still remembered that when he first met Miss Lanxiang, he swore that he would marry her home.

Now that I have saved more than half of my money, I am about to have enough, so I can’t give up halfway.

"You have not forgotten your original intention. It suddenly dawned on you." Sun Yu picked up the tea cup and touched it with Lao Cheng. As long as he was happy, he could choose whatever he wanted. Some people can do anything, but there is always a kind of person. They

You will only move towards your goals.

Zhang Daqiu, Sun Sandao, Xu Yi, and Chen Qiba all came one after another. They were all old men from the Jianzhou Army, and they were not polite. They sat down separately when they came in.

"Sir, this thing is really fresh, how do you eat it?" On a cold day, Xu Yi came here in the snow and wind. As soon as he sat down, he felt the warmth of the stove, which was quite interesting.

Sun Yu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, rinsed it in the pot, then dipped it into the bowl with the sauce and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Although the seasonings were simple, the meat couldn't stand the taste.

The products of later generations are even better than those of others. This is a completely green, organic and non-agricultural product.

"If you don't know how to eat, just watch." Sun Yu rolled up his sleeves and took a sip of Feitian. He felt so good that he picked up a piece of pork belly and put it in to rinse.

This group of people couldn't bear the excitement, so they picked up their chopsticks, picked up the meat and put it in.

"I'll go, it's so spicy." Chen Qiba was the fastest. When he saw that it was almost cooked, he dipped some sauce into his mouth and put it in his mouth. A spiciness stimulated the tip of his tongue, and he became energetic.

"It's so clear!" Xu Yi was much more elegant. He put the meat in his mouth and tasted it slowly, then took another sip of Feitian. The taste was truly amazing.

"Bahu, you can't slow down, it's so embarrassing." Lao Cheng said while boiling the meat in the pot. He had just eaten two pieces, and this kid had already eaten three pieces. He didn't know if it was done.

, don’t have diarrhea when you look back.

Chen Qiba didn't bother to pay attention to him. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. With his other hand, he picked up a piece of pork belly and went in to rinse it.

"Eat slowly and chat while eating. I've had enough for today. Eat

It can last until evening." Sun Yu put down his wine glass. Today, in addition to gathering with everyone to connect with each other, he also intends to plan things for next year. Time waits for no one.

"Sir, when spring comes, why don't you open up more wasteland? When the autumn harvest comes, our grain warehouse in Jianzhou will definitely be full." Xu Yi saw Sun Yu's posture and knew what he was doing, so he quickly came up with a reason.

"Lord Sima, you are so unreasonable. The city has finally been raised. What's wrong? I, the son of the Jianzhou Army, don't need to train anymore?" Cheng Zhenbei was not happy when he heard this. Xu Yi must have been assigned to the Jianzhou Army.

The idea was to let the army go to open up wasteland in the spring.

"Old Cheng, Mr. Xu is also doing this for the people's livelihood in Jianzhou. We are all our own people." Zhang Daqiu is used to being in harmony with each other. Everyone is eating and drinking here in harmony. Isn't this a good life? Why are you always thinking about fighting?

"In such a big Jianzhou, we can make the people well-clothed and well-fed in just two years. Sir, do you know why?" Sun Yu picked up a piece of mutton and went in to rinse it. Compared with pork, this mutton is the essence of hot pot, although it has a stronger smell.

.

"Of course, your Excellency has good governance, selects and appoints talented people, and loves the people as his sons. If the officers and soldiers take care of their lives, the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment." Damn it, such a good opportunity, it would be a pity not to flatter him, Xu Yi saw it right and slapped him fiercely.

"Speak like a human being!" Sun Yu took off and hit the sky lightly. It was quite effective, but today we are talking about big things and we can't go astray.

"Haha, there are some other reasons for that. Jianzhou has been in chaos for a long time, and the people's livelihood is in decline, and the people are anxious about peace. In addition, due to the decrease in Jianzhou's population and the promotion of new agricultural tools, the per capita field area is much larger.

, As long as the weather is good, there will be endless food." He, Xu Yi, was not given in vain. He was born as a dignified Tanhua Lang and had been in charge of Jianzhou for more than half a year. These things can still be seen. Whether there is enough food to eat, the main thing is

Look at the cultivated land area per capita and the weather.

Sun Yu nodded. Due to the banditry, the population of Jianzhou has been greatly reduced, especially the old, weak, sick and disabled. Therefore, once the society settled down, it exploded with amazing vitality. This is also the beginning of every dynasty.

At that time, the social economy developed significantly.

"Throughout history, every hundred years there will be turmoil. If the ruler is effective, the dynasty can last for a while, otherwise the world will be in chaos. The reason is that in a stable environment, the population increases on a large scale. But the land

It is limited, and the growth of grain output cannot keep up. Once there is a famine, large-scale wars will break out. Do you think so, sir?" Sun Yu put the blanched mutton into his mouth, it was really delicious.

"Your Majesty's words made my subordinate's hut suddenly open. My subordinate had thought about this matter before, and always thought that the powerful people annexed the land, leaving farmers with no land to cultivate. Your Majesty's strategy of collecting taxes and grains on a ladder is indeed a good solution.

After thinking about this problem again today, it seems that there is still a problem, and this is just a mitigation strategy." Xu Yi thought about it carefully, and he really had some insight. As long as the society is stable and the population is growing rapidly, the average couple will have at least one child.

With four or five children, the population can double in at most fifty years, but how can the food output be doubled?
