"At this time, the person who has been loved by the warblers and grass is on the way..."

The weather in Hongguang three years seemed to be slowing down, and the weather in the Central Plains was good, so it would be better around Haicheng.

Starting from mid-February, Haicheng, including the entire Shandong region, has much more vigorous ploughing work than the Central Plains.

If the two green flags around the Central Plains are just a cub, then Haicheng is an adult tiger, and there are busy people everywhere in the fields.

Even though the north wind is still a little sharp, it can no longer stop people's enthusiasm.

Kong Youde had not given any reply to Xu Changqing at this time, but Xu Changqing was not concerned at all. He hummed a cheerful little song and went deep into the fields to inspect the preparations before the spring plowing.

According to the current situation, if war does not break out this year, or even as long as war does not break out before the autumn harvest, the overall strength of Haicheng, including all regions in Shandong, will definitely reach a new level.

Xu Changqing has obtained almost the same statistics at this time. Farmers who are willing to grow sweet potatoes this year have accounted for 30% of Haicheng and surrounding areas in Shandong, and there will be at least more than 100,000 households.

Even farmers who are unwilling to grow large-scale plants will grow more or less a little under this atmosphere, just like growing economic crops.

This means that even if there are any small-scale disasters, the basic lives of farmers will be guaranteed to a certain extent.

The vitality of sweet potatoes is by no means comparable to the delicate staple food.

In addition, due to the continuous publicity and guidance of several major wineries in Haicheng and the full cooperation of the Political Affairs Department, Xu Changqing has collected a lot of sorghum seeds.

Sorghum is also called 'Shushu' by the common people. Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Herbs": "Shushu, planted in the northern part of the country, to prepare for the shortage of grain, and surplus of cattle and horses, and has been cultivated for 4,900 years."

Shandong did not have the habit of growing millet before, because the yield was too low and the return rate was not proportional, commonly known as "thankful".

But there are precedents for sweet potatoes here, and Xu Changqing and the Political Affairs Office endorsed it, and the people are already very enthusiastic about growing millet.

Millet can actually be regarded as a staple food. Compared with wheat and rice, it is not only drought-resistant and fabric-resistant, but also has extremely tenacious vitality. It does not have to occupy fertile fields. Just plant some of the corners and can still bear the difficult mountain.

This has led to the diversification of staple food in Haicheng and Shandong, and has guaranteed market value, so the fault tolerance rate is naturally higher.

Now, it won’t take long to see Xu Changqing, perhaps with his beautiful wife and concubine, carefully appreciate the gracefulness of the sorghum field...

"Brother Xu, what little song you hummed just now? Why have Dong'e and I never heard it before?"

At this time, Kong Sizhen's delicate voice came from the carriage not far behind him. His pretty face stuck out of the carriage and looked at Xu Changqing with affection.

Dong'e also put his little head out and looked over shyly and curiously.

Xu Changqing turned around and saw the pretty look of two women beside the carriage window, and felt a sense of comfort. He smiled and said, "This is the song I just made. I will share it with you after tidying up. Don't be impatient."

"Wow, Brother Xu, is it true?"

The beautiful eyes of both women suddenly lit up.

They had known Xu Changqing for a long time. After all, the song "If Life Is Only Like the First Meeting" was still popular now, and has been imitated and has never been surpassed.

It was just a few reasons that they had not reached Xu Changqing's heart before, and they could not have seen Xu Changqing's talent.

At this time, after these careful polishing times, both women were as stalwart towards Xu Changqing. In addition, spring was coming again, and they began to enjoy Xu Changqing's powerful benefits.

Of course, Xu Changqing also has some of his bad tastes...

Perhaps because he is getting older and is about to reach the third place, Xu Changqing does not like young girls like Dong'e and Kong Sizhen to call him "Master", but prefers the title "Brother Xu" founded by Zheng Chagu...

After comforting the two girls, Xu Changqing lit a bag of cigarettes, slowly rode his horse, smiling

Examining the endless plains around.

This is the Huantai area in central Shandong, and it is also the third day after Xu Changqing came out to inspect. The situation is even better than expected.

Due to the previous destruction of the war, although there were not many people here, the fields did not suffer much damage.

Huantai was one of the key grain-producing areas in Shandong in later generations. At this time, after Xu Changqing's careful planning, Li Hongyun, the tycoon of the Political Affairs Office, personally watched this place, and the results were still remarkable.

This three-dimensional model of all-round planting of staple food, sorghum and sweet potatoes is implemented here with unique implementation.

In order to prevent accidents, Xu Changqing spent a lot of money and dug many wells here to ensure that everything was foolproof.

However, there are also bad things...

It is because of various reasons that Huantai was basically the private property of the Xu family, Li family, Wu family, including Zhu Mai, Gu Hengbo and other Xu Changqing's wives and their families...

This is also an inevitable thing.

These people and their tribe members have already put all their treasures on him, Xu Changqing. How could Xu Changqing not give them great dividends?

Otherwise, how can you lead the team?

After walking around for more than an hour, Xu Changqing did not choose to go to Huantai County, but went all the way south, preparing to take the Zichuan line, Laiwu and Xintai to see the situation of the coal mine and iron mine, and then turn to Qingzhou to come back.

Stepping into the warm carriage, Xu Changqing also sorted out the song he had just hummed, and sang Dong'e and Kong Sizhen in full with a smile.

The two women's beautiful eyes couldn't help but brighten. Kong Sizhen said excitedly: "Brother Xu, what's the name of this song?"

Xu Changqing thought about it deliberately, aroused their minds, and then smiled and said, "For this song, I'm going to name it "The Beautiful World, Linked to You."

"The beauty of the world is connected with you?"

The two women looked at each other and felt indescribable, and they could not describe this feeling for a moment.

What a great talent this is to write such a exquisite song, such a lyric that hits people's hearts...

It's a pity that it's not alone at this time...

...

"At this time, the person who has been loved by the warblers and grass is on the way..."

With this song as a guide, Xu Changqing became much lighter. The two women no longer pestered him to act spoiled, but carefully sorted out the song and started to know how to sing, and couldn't help but hum a few sentences.

The fatigue of the journey also dissipated a lot, and they began to appreciate the scenery along the way more comfortably.

Xu Changqing could also lie comfortably in the carriage and enjoy their tenderness at will.

Two days later, a team of three thousand people arrived at Qingshi Pass. Xu Changqing took advantage of the good weather and took them to visit the bandit village.

This bandit village has basically been abandoned at this time, but it is not completely abandoned. On the way to go up the mountain, there is a general flag garrison to prevent it from rekindling.

In order to facilitate transportation here, many slides made of wood and bamboo were built on the mountain. On the top of the bandit village, looking at the slide hidden in the mountains, it became even more spectacular.

"Brother Xu, this place is so beautiful. I really want to live here for the rest of my life..."

Dong'e was completely intoxicated, and his little body wanted to melt into Xu Changqing's blood.

Even Kong Sizhen's agility was not much better than Dong'e at this time. The sweetness in her beautiful eyes was almost leaking. She was holding Xu Changqing from left and right, and she didn't want to separate from Xu Changqing at all.

Xu Changqing was happy to enjoy this feeling, leading them to the observation stone platform on the top of the mountain, and smiled in the afterglow of the sunset: "Learn the feeling of the Saint-Saint climbing Mount Tai back then, what does it mean to be the top of the mountain? The personal soldiers have already gone to hunt. Tonight, let's spend the night here and enjoy the quietness of the downhills."

"Wow, that's great."

Neither of the two little girls cheered.

However, Xu Changqing could clearly feel that the two women seemed intimate, but in fact they were secretly competing, and neither of them was convinced by each other. They were definitely plastic sisters...

Today, my personal soldiers were lucky. They hunted a silly roe deer and a wild boar worth 200 kilograms. In addition, some pheasants, hares and their own seafood dried goods, the dinner was extremely sumptuous.

Both women were in a good mood, so they pestered Xu Changqing and sang and drank. Soon after, they became a little drunk.

Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Dong'e, Zhenzhen, you all know the situation in our mansion now, right? Have you ever thought about buying some industries? After all, it's not easy to expect the mansion to give pocket money, right? Besides, you have grown up and can't ask your father for money, right?"

"this……"

The two women looked at each other and looked at Xu Changqing at the same time. Against the backdrop of the ethereal fire, the two beautiful eyes were like two pairs of bright stars.

Although they are young and are not considered adults in later generations, the education they received since childhood is far from comparable to ordinary people in later generations. They also have a clearer understanding of wealth and property, so they naturally understand the principle of "money makes money".

"Brother Xu, it seems that hey, in the future, when Dong'e and I have children, we can't always ask you for money to spend. We all have some private money, but what can we do?"

Kong Sizhen thought about it and buried her pretty face shyly in Xu Changqing's arms.

Dong Ebui also followed suit, and his little body was tightly pressed against Xu Changqing.

"Haha, there are so many things you can do. Have you not discovered business opportunities in Haicheng these days? In this way, you first say, I will subsidize you 50,000 taels, and you can just raise some of them yourself. How about we use this money to do business?"

Xu Changqing smiled and hugged them, hugging them left and right, which was so comfortable.

"Each person, each person is fifty thousand taels?"

Dong'e and Kong Sizhen looked at each other and were both shocked.

It should be noted that even if they have a noble status and all have a lot of dowry, the economic system of the Qing Dynasty was not very good, and they didn't have much pocket money in normal times.

Xu Changqing took action to 50,000 taels per person, which made them confused.

What is Kuan Ye?

That's wow.

"Brother, we can't say it right now, what should we do..."

After Dong'e was excited, tears were about to flow out in anxiety, and he looked at Xu Changqing pitifully.

Kong Sizhen had some ideas, but she was not sure about Xu Changqing's intentions, so she didn't dare to learn from Dong'e. She looked at Xu Changqing with grievance and begged.

"Look, what are you doing? Why are you crying? You talk well. Otherwise, I won't like my brother."

Seeing Xu Changqing deliberately lowering his face, the two women were no longer afraid, but instead felt even more aggrieved and extremely pitiful.

They had already learned about Xu Changqing's temperament at this time. This guy is definitely not a tough guy.

Xu Changqing finally had to lose, raised his hand and surrendered, "I'll accept you. In this way, the most reliable business that will make a profit is to buy land. But the good land in Haicheng, including Qingzhou and Linzi are basically gone, and buying now is definitely not cost-effective. However, there is still some land in Laiwu and Xintai. Let's go and take a closer look tomorrow, how about it?"
