The angel found Bai Ko directly in the workshop, and after waiting for her to arrange the business, he quickly took her into the palace and led her to the imperial study. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Ko kowtowed to the ground, the mountain shouted long live, and stood up after being allowed to be flat, standing upright with his hands in a proper manner.

"Your Majesty summoned the people's daughter, I don't know what to order?"

The saint shook Gu Yun's co-branded fold and threw it back on the table.

"Explain, huh? I dare to hit the idea to the official village, leasing mountains and forests to grow mushrooms, the idea is a good idea, tell me how you got this idea, right? ”

"Hundreds of millions of years ago, the ancestors domesticated wild animals into domestic animals, in order to be able to have a stable R to eat, now we grow our own mushrooms, is this idea, scattered throughout the country safe and non-toxic edible mushrooms have thousands of varieties, in addition to those expensive rare goods, the general public often eat mushrooms can try to grow a kind of their own, as long as the yield of artificial planting comes up, replacing the common wild mushrooms in the vegetable market, the future can be less sick and dead by eating toadstools. What does Your Majesty think? ”

"Balidu is such a big mountain forest, you only plant a few ordinary varieties?"

"Different fungi have different growing conditions, so we have to spend a few years looking for live fungi in the mountains and forests, collecting spore cultures, starting with the most common varieties more economically, and slowly accumulating experience before we can get the idea of high-end goods. For example, the white fungus of women's beauty relics is super expensive, a box of four or five flowers will be priced at fifty taels of silver, and the average price is ten taels of silver, and now this is almost the New Year, the same amount has risen to eighty taels of boxes, if we solve the problem of artificial planting in the future, Your Majesty, fifty taels will sell you a sack, okay? ”

The saint's shoulders shook violently, and he was happy, "Okay! ”

"So, you agreed to lease the forest?"

"No, you don't want to climb the pole so quickly. To put it lightly, fifty taels and one sacks? How big is a sack? ”

"How about the kind of hemp bag of rice and noodles in the grain and oil store?"

"Fresh or dry?"

"Fresh products have to be packed in boxes with a base, otherwise they will rot if they are picked and not dried in time, Your Majesty likes fresh products?"

"You understand?"

"Planting mushrooms is like planting flowers, we move the flowers to bask in the sun is to move the flower pots together, not directly pinch the flowers and throw them in the sun, that is to dry the flowers, the transportation of fresh mushrooms is the same reason, but so troublesome to transport to the capital, the price is not cheap."

"Well, it used to be fifty taels and one boxes, and then it will be fifty taels and one fresh flowers, anyway, you planted it, this is the only one, little girl, you specialize in your own business."

"Independent business, only this one, the price is arbitrary, but correspondingly, we pay a lot of taxes, crop planting, this is an agricultural tax, right?"

"Little girl, although you are now the chief shopkeeper in charge of the farm and the factory, and everyone calls you Mr. Bai, but you have to spend a lot of money and a few years in the mountains and forests just to grow fungi, and other shareholders will agree? They are investing in shares just to make money, but you want to take part of the dividends and invest them in agriculture, not afraid of causing disputes in the end? ”

"Agriculture is the foundation of all industries, agriculture supports everything, you can't eat the dividends of agriculture and don't admit it, the farm area has a new plan, and the dividends of industry and commerce to feed back agriculture is the next long-term goal, and it is useless for shareholders to oppose it, unless they don't eat mushrooms, not to mention, if it is done, they will also get this piece of dividends. The scope of the farm's 1,000 acres of land includes five villages, plus the manpower sent by the shareholders, thousands of people eat and drink every day is not a small number, and the purpose of growing mushrooms is also self-sufficient, and then piggyback to earn some money, and these villagers who are responsible for growing mushrooms will also get paid. If there is money, everyone will make money, and the shareholders will make soup. Your Majesty, isn't it a good thing for a kulak of a few thousand people? The four industries of people's livelihood, scholars, agriculture, industry, and commerce, only when agriculture and industry are full of vigorous vitality can the treasury have revenue, and the imperial court should give firm support to agriculture and industry when needed. I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

The saint's face sank like water, and his fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table for a long time before he spoke.

"There are many mountains outside the capital, there are many mountain people who rely on picking mushrooms in the mountains to feed their families, if your artificial mushrooms are done, with the large mountains and forests of Guanzhuang, the yield is not worried, and the price can be pressed to a very low level, and the people of the capital can buy and eat casually, which is very good, but what should those mountain people do? How can wild mushrooms with low yield and inconsistent quality compare to planted mushrooms? Isn't it cutting off their livelihood? Rich peasants of a few thousand are good, and the prospects you describe are very appealing to me, but I have to think about more poor peasants. Don't say that you haven't smashed other people's jobs, soap and mirrors have smashed the jobs of pancreatic craftsmen, copper mirror craftsmen and mirror grinding iron people, and soap has also robbed the business of many time-honored incense powder shops. You have a criminal record, and I can't easily promise you. ”

"Soap and mirrors belong to industry and commerce, and the birth and development of new technologies must be accompanied by the elimination of backward old technologies, and the women of the people feel sympathy and regret for those craftsmen who have lost their livelihoods, but this is not a reason for us to stop. Matters in agriculture cannot be simply applied to the status quo of employment and commerce, which will blind oneself and see no better way out. ”

"Hmph, what's a better solution?"

Bai Ko smiled slightly, and the saint suddenly had a feeling of taking the initiative to step into the cover.

"The farm cooperates with the official village to solve the problem of planting different fungi one by one, and when a certain variety of fungi reaches the desired results, and the farmers who grow the fungi have become experienced technicians in the process, we will lease other mountain forests, hire those mountain people who have lost their livelihoods, and the technicians will lead them to plant fungi together, and then a mountain forest will only be planted with a single variety, and there will be many kinds of fungi in the artificial environment at the same time. The shareholders have dividends, the people in the capital have cheap and delicious mushrooms, the mountain people earn stable wages every month, the treasury has increased income, no one suffers, and everyone is a winner. ”

The corners of the saint's mouth twitched a little, he wanted to laugh, but he pressed it hard, but after a few times, he found that this would only make the corners of his mouth sour, and he was no longer tense, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows instantly hung a smile, patted the edge of the table, pointed at Bai Ko and scolded with a smile.

"Little girl~ You are the only smart person in the world?"

"If someone else was smart, someone would have done this thing a long time ago, how could it be the turn of the people's girls to grab business now." White Kom shrugged slightly.

The sage laughed, "Okay, even if you convince me, I will draw up a decree for you in the next few days, and take it to Balidu Guanzhuang to discuss with the chief manager in detail." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Ko was overjoyed and bowed.

"Come here, come closer, let's gossip."

Bai Ko stepped forward and stood three steps away from the table.

"Little girl, it's fifteen this year, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Well~ next year sixteen, the little girl is going to get married."

Bai Ko was startled, his back straightened, and he looked nervous.

"The folk girl is still young, don't worry."

"Nonsense, sixteen is still young? It will take a year to prepare for the marriage, and the seventeenth is married, and it is still young? ”

"It's only been a few months since the people's daughter resumed her citizenship, and she hasn't had enough of her comfortable life, so she doesn't want to do these things."

"Nonsense, you can't find a good man you like, right? With your brain, a man who can be fancied by you must be a real talent. ”

Bai Ko didn't answer with a bitter face.

The sage seemed to be addicted, and he couldn't be happy to look at Bai Ko's face as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

"In this way, next year's spring, after the palace examination, the first and second class young jinshi, you pick first, how about it?"

"Your Majesty Xie cares, but don't you need it? Dignified scholars, where will they look down on the people's women, men have a good face, and they will definitely be said that they covet women's property, and when they meet arrogant people, they can directly throw their faces at the people's women. The folk girls are also afraid that some of them really see that the folk girl is alone and has no family support, so they deceive and marry the folk girl with false affection, and then secretly poison the folk girl, and the property that the folk girl has accumulated with great difficulty will fall into the hands of the man. ”

The saint was dumbfounded, pursed his lips, and came back to his senses.

"You're thinking too much, don't scare yourself."

"Your Majesty, that's not what I said, I don't know my face but I don't know my heart, there are more hypocrites who are sanctimonious, who knows if looking at the appearance of a righteous gentleman is a black heart in his stomach, there is only one small life, and he finally lived until now, but he didn't want to let people kill him for no reason."

"All the nonsense, next year is to let you see if there is a favorite among the young jinshi, you just think so much, you can't look at people? If you don't want to, the official village won't be rented to you. ”

"Your Majesty~" Bai Ko couldn't imagine that the dignified king would be so tricky.

"That's it, go back and think about your business."

"Yes, the folk girl is retiring."

Bai Ko resigned, and then went straight back to the workshop, and when asked by his subordinates, he only said that His Majesty agreed to lease the mountains and forests of the official village, and did not say that he would meet with the young unmarried scholars after the palace examination next year.

Although she didn't say anything, it still spread from the palace and spread among the people quickly.

What does it mean to marry Bai Ko, anyone who can take the exam can think about it, it is a matter of their own interests, how can they be confused, and there are even many married people who beat their chests and regret how they were born a few years early.

Gu Yun was socializing with his business partners outside and didn't know about it, but when the palace chief heard it, he hurried home, wrote a note and sent it to the Yeguo Mansion.

Gong Changji told Gu Yun the news he heard on the street, Gu Yun was already stupid with his mouth open, and he sat there and didn't react for a long time.

"Na, don't say I didn't remind you, if you can't get into the second-class jinshi next year, you just watch Bai Ko marry someone else, crying to death in the corner and no one pays attention to you."

Gu Yun jumped up violently, and before he even had time to say goodbye, he ran home.

The palace chief looked at his back running away with a giggle and waved his hand to wish him good luck.
