"what is this?"

In the Dudu's Mansion, beside the Shuixie Pavilion, Su Ping and Li Kun stared at the things in Su Yun's hand.

"Click"

Su Yun took a bite, and Su Yun ate the small piece clean with a crisp sound.

"This is a specialty of Jiangzhou?"

Li Kun looked up and down.

Su Yun shook the two of them: "It's not a specialty, it's called sweet potatoes.

Today, I went to play in the city. Mingyue bought it at an old man’s stall. The old man said that his two sons were killed in the war. There are only a few acres in the family. In order to support his grandchildren, the old man’s hair and beard were all white and sold out. thing. "

"Mingyue, go to wash and get a few roots. Our Dudu Li and Dudu Su have been reprimanded, wanting to vent their anger by eating."

Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled and left.

Not long after, Mingyue brought two maids over and placed a few trays on the waterside stone table.

In the tray, there are not only washed sweet potatoes, but also some seasonal fruits, apples, and pears, all filled with trays.

Mingyue's cheeks are full of smiles: "The mansion is not rich, the two captains will use it."

Su Ping picked up a sweet potato and took a bite.

"Well, it's not bad, the taste is okay, sweet."

Li Kun also picked up one, and took a big bite in two of three: "It's a bit sweet, very crispy, and the taste is okay."

"Kacha Kacha"

After a while, the two ate most of the sweet potatoes on the plate.

Li Kun ate it and carried it in his arms: "I'll take it back and give Xiaomi a taste. Her wife has never eaten such a delicious thing. Well, I will get some pears and apples. Xiaomi must be happy."

Su Yun gave Li Kun a white look: "You captain commanding the army, the salary is enough for his wife to eat and drink well, why don't you even want to buy an apple."

Su Ping is also holding an apple in his arms: "Er Yun, you are not in charge, how do you know our difficulties? With so many generals under his command, it is inevitable to eat and drink on weekdays. You come and go. How can the payment and silver be enough to supplement the family?"

"Then am I going to give you more money?"

Su Lu's voice rang from behind.

The two men jumped up in shock.

"I have to go back and cook for her wife. I'm leaving now."

"Today, some brothers have been promoted to the ministry, please have dinner. I can't go late."

The two ran away quickly one after another.

Su Lu took a look at the two people who had gone away, and asked Su Yun and said:

"Li Kun can be considered married. Su Ping is now so old, and it's time to get married. Xiaoyun, when you walk with the family members of the honorable officials, please check to see if there is a suitable girl for Su Ping."

Su Yun took a pear, took a crisp bite, and spoke slowly.

"Of course there is something suitable. Su Lao San is unwilling. The wife of An Yuanhou and the old lady from Ning Guo Gong's Mansion have all come to me and talk to me. "

Su Lu's gaze suddenly froze, looking at the sweet potato on the stone table, and instructed: "Mingyue, take that over and let me take a look."

Sweet potato is a good thing. It has a large yield. It is eaten raw, boiled, cut into slices and dried, and then ground into noodles and steamed as steamed buns.

Mingyue picked up a sweet potato and handed it to Su Lu: "Master, this is my eldest lady and I went out to play today. I saw an old man selling sweet potatoes on the side of the road, so I bought them all. My father and two sons died in the army. Very pitiful."

Su Lu took a bite and it was really sweet potato. Although the taste was a little worse, it was not sweet enough, and the moisture was not enough, it was definitely sweet potato.

"Oh, does the old man only sell sweet potatoes? Is there anything else for sale?"

Su Yun took out a chubby potato from his pocket and said, "There is still this, but I can't eat it. The old man said this thing cannot be eaten, it is bitter, but it grows by itself every year, and occasionally it gets mixed in. Inside the sweet potato."

Su Lu took the potatoes, his face was full of ecstasy.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are two very high-yielding crops, and they are storage-resistant and easy to transport. For Han, which lacks production areas, these are good things.

Su Lu ordered the mound and said: "Ming'er will follow the lady and Mingyue to buy all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the hands of the old man. Also, write down the names of the two sons of the old man and check the whole army. Find out these two boys, stay alive, and let the boss go home."

Qingfeng asked from behind, "What if there is only one alive?"

"Then go home."

Su Lu said without hesitation that the brothers were in the army, and both of them were worried that they were dead and no one took care of the family.

Su Yun looked at the potatoes in his hand: "Brother, this sweet potato is okay, why did you buy the potatoes?"

Su Lu took the potato that was not much bigger than a thumb in Su Yun's hand, and raised it up, his face full of triumph.

"This is a good thing. It can be eaten as a vegetable or steamed bun, and it is convenient to store and transport. It is a natural military ration."

...

Fifteen days later, Su Lu arrived in Shangshan County.

Before the car entered the county office, Su Ping and Li Kun led a group of school lieutenants and generals to greet them.

Su Lu was lifted out of the carriage, and sat down in a soft seat, and saw Zhou Yuan among a group of generals and captains.

This Zhou Yuan, the speed is quite fast, let him transport the military rations to Shangshan within 30 days, he did not expect that he would get it done in half a month, and he was indeed a competent official.

After entering the county office, Su Lu ordered the soft cave to fall in the middle hall, and a group of generals and captains came in.

Su Lu asked the last Zhou Yuan who came in: "Old Zhou, come so fast, how much rations have you sent here?"

Zhou Yuan's face flushed, and he bowed his fist to Su Lu and saluted: "So that the adults know that Zhou Yuan has lived up to the adults' expectations this time and failed to deliver the army rations."

Su Lu was taken aback when he heard the words: he could not deliver the army rations.

Su Ping yelled next to him: "Master Zhou said that if there is no ration, I want to kill one. Let Su Ping look at how many bags of ration his head is worth, and chop it off and exchange it for the ration."

Su Lu frowned and asked Zhou Yuan, "Why, has Anton's tax burden this year not been collected?"

Zhou Yuan's expression was bitter: "My lord, Anton's harvest this year is too bad, the mountains are in chaos, most of the crops are ruined, and the people are carried around. The summer and autumn have not been planted well, and they have not been able to harvest. , How can this tax burden be collected?"

"Take a step back. Even in the usual years of the past, there is no mountain chaos, everyone's harvest will not be much better. Anton has many hillsides and depends entirely on the sky for food. In the past two years, there has been little rain and it is not good for everyone to harvest Chengdu. ."

Su Lu nodded. The biggest shortcoming of ancient agriculture was that it relied on the sky for food, and manpower was limited.

But disobedience can't be forgotten.

"Zhou Yuan, you are disobeying orders, why, I don't think I dare to chop your head."

"thump"

Zhou Yuan knelt down and looked at Su Lu: "Lord, it’s not that I’m Zhou Yuan who wants to resist orders. It’s really the suffering of Anton’s people. Lord, if you have a way, you can relieve Anton’s food shortage. , That is the ten thousand family beating the Buddha."

Su Lu looked at Luo Xuan next to him: "Can Xiting have rations available? If Xiting also has no rations, we don't even have to fight this battle."
