Chapter 56: Detoxification is Difficult
Lin Xianyang and Lin Liangjun were surprised when they saw that Su Ze just gave the young commander a fortune and the other party hurriedly withdrew the checkpoint.
Lin Liangjun recalled that when Su Ze had just arrived at Changning Guard, he had unraveled the Holy Grail he had thrown. Could it be that Brother Aze really came down to earth?
The little carrot head immediately said: "Brother Aze, are you really a god? Can you tell me what kind of wife I will get?"
Su Ze deliberately frowned, paused for a while and then said: " What should I do with this thing that I don’t have?”
Hearing what Su Ze said, Lin Liangjun was about to burst into tears. Will he be alone for the rest of his life?
Su Ze then said with a smile: "Man can defeat heaven. Divination and fortune-telling are just for psychological comfort. Don't believe this at such a young age."
Lin Liangjun still frowned and asked: "Then how did you let that young commander make him Do you believe it?"
Su Ze shook his head and said, "I didn't calculate it, I reasoned it out."
"Inference?"
Su Ze nodded and said, "There is an official document from the imperial court to dispatch the Yushi Qing Army. The Yanping Guards have been passed down for six generations. Our ancestors There are too many dirty things, and it is too late to take care of the censor. What I am most afraid of is that my subordinates will cause trouble." "
In addition, the new magistrate of Yanping Prefecture has arrived, which is the time when the new official takes office. If I were the Yanping Guard A commander will definitely not let his own son come out to set up a card and rob him, so this young commander must have ripped off his father's tiger skin and secretly set up a card to force donations." "If things are fine on weekdays, maybe he is still a commander
. If you have to acquiesce, if you do something like this at this juncture, you will definitely suffer physical pain."
Lin Xianyang was a little confused, but Lin Liangjun, an eccentric person, heard what Su Ze meant. He patted his thigh and said,
"So this is it. What a magical plan in the storybook! Brother Aze, you are really the reincarnation of Sima Yi!" Luo
Guanzhong was born in the late Yuan Dynasty. Now "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has already become popular all over the country. The bookstore in Jianyang even specially printed the illustrated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" villain. Book.
Su Ze patted his head and said, "It's Zhuge Liang again!"
Lin Liangjun said, "That's good! Brother Aze, I want to learn this reasoning technique from you! In the future, if my brother wants to hit me, I can beat him in advance." Got it!"
Su Ze was stunned for a moment and said: "Everything has its own reason. You must first understand the reason for everything before you can deduce its reason. You don't know all the characters yet, so you need to learn how to read first!" In the middle of the fight
! , the group finally returned to Changning Guard.
After sending Lin Liangjun back to Baihu Mansion, Su Ze led the donkey back to the family temple in the sunset.
"Brother is back!"
Lin Cainiang, a little carrot-head standing guard at the door, finally saw Su Ze walking in the dusk. She shouted to the family temple and rushed towards Su Ze.
Su Ze touched her head, then took out a red string and a piece of brown sugar wrapped in lotus leaves from his sleeve, finally soothing the little carrot head.
Su Ze saw Aunt Ninth holding a cane behind the door, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Although the county is good, my peaceful place is still Changningwei.
This trip made Su Ze feel more at home with Changningwei. Compared with the chaotic county town, the isolated Changningwei felt like a paradise.
Just like when he had just settled in the temple, Su Ze ate cold vegetable porridge and told Aunt Jiu and Lin Cainiang about what happened in the county.
Hearing the little carrot head cry out that he regretted it, he shouted that he would go to the city with Su Ze next time.
After dinner, Su Ze tested Lin Cainiang's homework over the past few days, and after gaining two more points of experience in her "Enlightenment" skill, Su Ze asked Lin Cainiang to go back to rest, and found Aunt Ninth who was sitting cross-legged in the family temple.
"Auntie, do you know Xu Shisheng, the county clerk?"
Aunt Ninth asked with wide eyes: "You said it's Xu Hu, the clerk in the county government office? Is he causing trouble for you?"
Su Ze shook his head quickly, Aunt Ninth asked Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"This Xu Shisheng is as cunning as a fox. Don't provoke him when you go to the county government in the future."
Aunt Jiu sighed and said, "This Xu Shisheng has a grudge against Changning Wei."
Su Ze asked quickly, "Who is Xu Shisheng?" How come the county clerk has a grudge against our Changning Guard?"
Su Ze also found out from Hai Rui that Xu Shisheng is the head tax collector of the county government in charge of tax collection, but the Changning Guard is a military guard and does not need to pay taxes. To the county government, how come he has anything to do with Xu Shisheng?
Aunt Ninth said: "Back when Old Hundred Households were here, Xu Shisheng once approached Old Hundred Households and asked for some 'goods' to be smuggled out of Changning Guard." Su Ze immediately understood that Xu Shisheng was asking Changning Guards to help him
smuggle . However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in coastal guards. Just borrowing the dock of the guard is considered a good thing. Some guards simply end up doing it themselves and use the imperial warships to smuggle goods.
"Lao Baihu didn't want to offend him. At that time, Lao Baihu also opened the door for thousands of households, so it wasn't a big deal."
Su Ze did not comment on Lao Baihu's behavior, but a health center like Changning Guard It is indeed the cleanest one.
"The cooperation was good at first. After Xu Shisheng took a few boxes of goods from Changningwei, he asked for more goods. At first, hundreds of households were willing to agree, but they accidentally discovered the goods smuggled by Xu Shisheng." "Yes
. What?"
"Bow and arrow."
Su Ze fell silent for a moment.
In ancient times, bows and arrows were considered strategic materials.
When ordinary people take to the streets to defend themselves with a short blade, the government usually won't say anything, but if they swagger through the city with a bow and arrow, they will definitely be arrested.
If it is just smuggling ordinary goods, ordinary households can turn a blind eye.
But for smuggling bows and arrows, those who rely on smuggling to buy bows and arrows are the only Japanese pirates in the southeast region.
"The Changning Guards and the Japanese pirates are mortal enemies. How can ordinary households tolerate collaborating with the enemy to send bows and arrows to the Japanese pirates? The ordinary households detained Xu Shisheng's goods and went to the county government to report him." "What happened next?" "Then? What about Xu Shisheng's
turn
? It was falsely accused that the bows and arrows were smuggled to the Japanese pirates by the hundred households, which turned the lawsuit into a muddled case. This matter was originally going to be handed over to Yanping Prefecture for retrial, but the old hundred households were suddenly ordered to go to sea to fight, and then died at sea, and the matter was lost. Next."
Su Ze thought about it, Xu Shisheng was just a scribe in a county, and bows and arrows were contraband. With Xu Shisheng's energy, he couldn't afford such a business.
There must be someone behind Xu Shisheng, and the person who can smuggle a large number of bows and arrows must be a key figure in the Fujian military attache system.
If a hundred people died in battle at sea, could there be some secret behind it?
Su Ze now understood why Xu Shisheng wanted to kill Chang Ning Wei. It was indeed an undying hatred.
Xu Shisheng had his goods confiscated and was worried that Changning Guard had other evidence, so he took advantage of the censor Qing's army to completely destroy Changning Guard.
Su Ze sighed, and Aunt Ninth said,
"These are all matters of the Wei Institute and have nothing to do with you. You just need to study hard."
The people of the Changning Guard naturally knew that there might be some secret behind the death of the Hundred Households in the battle, but the Changning Guard was just a small Hundred Household Military Guard and had no ability to pursue this matter.
Seeing Aunt Ninth's worried look, Su Ze squeezed out a smile and said,
"Auntie, I'm just asking out of curiosity. Hundreds of households who died in battle were rewarded with a government ban."
Aunt Ninth said quickly: "Yes, that's right, a Jing. The plaque is still in Baihu Mansion."
Lying on the wooden bed, this trip to the county town completely shattered Su Zegou's idea of taking the imperial examination skills in Changning Weigan and passing the imperial examination to jump to the Dragon Gate.
Nowadays, the Southeast is not a peaceful and prosperous time. Under the prosperous scene of Jiajing Dynasty, it is the beginning of chaos and disorder.
The Southeast region was a war-torn area that suffered from the Japanese invasion, so there was no future for them just immersing themselves in studying.
After understanding this, Su Ze naturally set a goal, which of course was to make money!
Nowadays, the salt fields on the beach have been opened up, and the dry reeds in our own reed fields have been burned. If we want to continue to refine salt, we need fuel.
Although salt is profitable, once the rainy season enters the southeastern region, there will be no way to dry salt on the beach, and more stable ways of making money are needed.
The sweet potatoes have been planted for almost a month, but it’s still early to harvest. Potatoes mature faster than sweet potatoes. Su Ze plans to promote planting in Changningwei after this batch of potatoes matures.
However, potatoes will quickly degenerate after one or two generations of cultivation, and infection will cause toxicity. Moreover, this degradation will also reduce potato yields. If you want to promote cultivation, these problems must be solved.
Su Ze recalled the knowledge about Level 5 "farming" in his mind. The modern agriculture technique for detoxifying potatoes is "peeling off stem tips", but this technique requires the use of a microscope and culture medium. Changning Wei is afraid that there is no way to do this under the current conditions. .
The only thing left is breeding. You can select large potatoes with buds and cut them quickly for breeding. This can slow down the rate of degeneration and screen out non-toxic offspring.
If it doesn't work, we can use sexual reproduction to pollinate potatoes for breeding, but this will not allow us to quickly expand the potato planting area.
Hey, it would be great if I could get the "biology" skill. The microscope needed to peel off the stem tips is just an ordinary optical microscope. How about getting the "physics" skill first?
It seems that it is unrealistic to start planting potatoes all at once. Sweet potatoes are also faced with the problem of detoxification technology. However, the planting cycle of sweet potatoes is long and the yield is high. You can choose healthier cuts and breed them, and you can safely plant them for several years.
Why didn’t you choose agriculture as your major back then?
