Chapter 45
Ma Chao couldn't help but be a little worried when he looked at this small grassland!
"Lord, the forage that these 5,000 horses eat is not a small number, and the lord will have more horses in the future, please prepare early!"
Qin Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect this, after all, there is a lot of food in the system!
But Marco can't eat rice every day, which is not a good thing for horses!
Suddenly remembering the alfalfa seeds that were exchanged in the special mall before, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart!
Isn't this alfalfa the best forage seed?
Drought and cold resistance, fast growth, and low soil requirements!
"Let's go for a walk, ask Gongda where there is a large wasteland, and let's go and plant grass!"
Ma Chao was confused, isn't this grass born to grow, in their Liangzhou, let the grass grow after eating for a while!
What a lot of effort it takes to plant grass on purpose!
Soon, the news that Jizhou summoned the people to plant grass in Qinghe County spread!
After the news spread, the people of Qinghe flocked to the city gate to read the announcement, and when they saw that Qin Xuan really wanted to plant grass in Qinghe, everyone talked about it!
Someone said it out loud,
"I think this Qinzhou Mu is worthy of the name, this doesn't understand farming at all!".
"How much grass do you have to grow to raise so many horses!"
"Grass grows easily, but it wilts quickly!"
Others expressed concern
"Isn't it a waste that this good land doesn't grow food!"
"When the time comes, in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, can this grass still be used as food?"
"Brother, you're right!".
There are also many people who support the above decision
"Now that the hybrid rice has been planted, no one has any surplus grain, even if it is a natural disaster, it will not be in the way!".
"That is, my family has enough food to eat for two years!"
"Thank you for the hybrid rice!".
Cui Qing, the county guard of Qinghe, jumped two meters high excitedly after receiving the news that Qin Xuan was going to plant grass in Qinghe!
"God is pitiful, does the lord finally remember us Qinghe?"
The people below couldn't help but understand when they saw that the county keeper was so excited!
"My lord, why are you so excited about growing grass instead of growing food?"
"No, if the lord gives us the salt industry of the Bohai Sea, we can still be happy!"
"Qinghe is poor enough, and he still has to grow grass, is this adult mistaken?".
Cui Qing couldn't help but point at his subordinates and couldn't wait to spit it out
"Vulgar, you are really short-sighted, everything is measured by money and food!".
"Do you know that county is the one that is developing the best right now?"
"Changshan, Changshan's resources are not as good as our Qinghe, why can it develop so well!".
"No other, just follow the lord closely!".
When I think about it, it's really like this!
Cui Qing continued to say excitedly
"Hybrid rice, Changshan was the first to plant, you see that now Changshan has become the largest granary!".
"The lord established the salt industry in the three counties of Bohai, Leling and Zhangwu, and now it is the largest salt production area, and the three counties are rich because of the salt industry!"
"Now that the lord is planting grass in us, I can't say that we are the next Changshan, the next Bohai!"
"I can't say that we will become the largest horse-producing area in Jizhou!".
"You say, how can I not be excited!".
"Gunmarsama Takami!".
When his subordinates heard this, they suddenly realized, and quickly patted Cui Qing's ass!
Suddenly, another hand came down to report,
"My lord, the patriarch of your family has brought a few clan elders here, I see that they are menacing, you take care!"
Cui Qing "???".
People from their own family come to join in the fun!
The Qinghe Cui clan is also a famous local family, and he was furious when he heard that Qin Xuan was going to open up the wasteland and plant grass!
Do you say that if you open up the wasteland and plant grass instead of grain and grass, you are not afraid of being damned?
So the patriarch brought a group of clan elders to Cui to settle the accounts!
Cui Qing also had a headache when he looked at this group of old people from his grandfather's generation and even his grandfather's generation!
"Patriarch, I don't know what happened here?"
I saw the patriarch of the Cui family knock on the ground with a cane before speaking
"Hmph, I heard that there is going to be grass in the Qinghe River?"
"Exactly!".
"You didn't stop it, and you agreed?".
Only then did Cui Qing know why the patriarch came!
Qinghe Cui's family is very famous in the local area, and of course there is a lot of land under his name, and now he is just afraid that his interests will be damaged!
Cui Qing first invited a few clan elders and patriarchs to sit down and take a sip of tea slowly!
"Patriarchs, clan elders, do you mean you don't want to plant this grass?"
Several old men said one after another
"If you don't plant food to grow grass, are you stupid to read with water in your head?"
"Qinghe, our Cui family has so much land, if we set aside a part of it to plant grass, how much harvest will we lose in a year?"
"I've never heard of this alfalfa grass, and I don't know if you can grow it, so you dare to come down?
"Hurry up and refuse, or go back and expel you from the family tree!".
"If you're afraid of offending people, we, old guys, will go to Jizhou to ask for help, can he Qin Xuan still kill me?"
Expulsion from the genealogy is a very serious punishment in the eyes of the contemporaries!
Cui Qing hurriedly stopped
"Why be angry, why be angry!".
"Patriarch, clan elders, this is not necessarily a bad thing to grow grass in Qinghe County!".
"It can't be an opportunity for our Qinghe and Cui families!".
The patriarch of the Cui family snorted
"Hmph, if you can't tell me why, I'll let you know if it's your head or my crutches!"
Cui Qing asked rhetorically after smiling to himself
"Does the patriarch know the true Zhao family?"
