Eighty-Eight: Crops (Medium)
Wen Wan saw the excitement of the eyes, and hurriedly said that when she heard Zhuangtou say that if she could promote it, it would save many lives and benefit the people of the world, thinking that if the emperor's grandfather knew, she would not have to worry about the people's meals. She just wanted to please the emperor's grandfather. It is the head of the village and the teacher who are throwing some money and the people who are contributing. It has nothing to do with him. Wen Wan gave all the credit to Song Luoyang and Zhuangtou.
Noting how broad Wen Wan's knowledge is, he also sighed for Wen Wan's heart, "How did you know that these two crops could produce so much food?" Did you see it from a book again? Although Wen Wan pushed all the sources of her ideas to the book. But Zhu still didn't believe it. Because it's so important.
Wen Wan said that she naturally saw it from a book. Where can I still imagine it out of thin air, but I added that it is a Western book. Now I want to see it, and she will give it to him when the time comes. However, it's all in foreign languages.
Attention to the plague is to read books gently to prevent it from happening, and to avoid the occurrence β of greater accidents, it is to read books, knowing that there are such two crops that can produce thousands of catties of grain per mu. If it's an ordinary person, you won't care even if you see it. But gentle, but often from other places that others do not pay attention to, find different things Β°C positive learning and apply. Therefore, gentleness is his cover!
Zhu is not entangled with Wen Wan on these two crops. He now wants to know if there are other crops that can be planted with high yields and do not occupy good land" Na Wan'er still knows if there are any plants that can be planted. β It is good that I do not need to plant it in the fertile land, and I can plant it on the hillside dry land. β
Wen Wan thought about it, as if the corn was planted on the hillside. Wen Wan took the pen and wrote, "Corn, the book says that it can be planted on the slope of the wasteland." The yield is not low either. As for the rest, I don't know. Uncle asked a professional. Not again. After introducing the seeds, let people try β all kinds of things, it takes time to get them, and they can't be in a hurry. β
It's just the mentality of giving it a try. I didn't expect that there was really food that could be grown on wasteland. We want these three crops to be popularized and benefit the people of the world. The imperial court no longer has to worry about food, how much of the burden will be reduced by the imperial court!
After dinner, Zhu went back to the capital. Wen Wan asked him to go back early tomorrow morning, and he wouldn't be in such a day, seeing that it was getting late now. When I returned to the capital, it must have been the middle of the night again.
He looked at it and said, "What's this?" I often travel at night on snowy days, not to mention that it's still June. Uncle has never seen any strong winds and waves. Rest assured. Uncle will be careful, it will be fine. Wen Wan, you really don't go back with your uncle. Your grandfather misses you so much! β
Wen Wan looked at Zhu and shook her head, indicating that she was really afraid of the hot weather in the capital. Or wait for the hot weather to go back. Although it is still undecided when exactly when I will go back. But I will definitely return to the capital before August 15.
Zhu knew that Wen Wan was a person with big ideas and good ideas, and he didn't force it. Only let Xia Yao take good care of the gentle horse, and galloped back to the capital with a group of guards.
Wen Wan can understand that she is so eager to pay attention to attention. After all, this society is now. The food and clothing of the common people have not been solved (at the beginning in the countryside. She had nothing to eat, and was always half-starved). It's just that Wen Wan didn't care, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and crops like corn. Even if she hadn't intervened, it would have spread to China sooner or later. Because of her, I don't know how many years in advance.
The sullenness in Wen Wan's heart dissipated, but she calmed down, carefully recalled the events β at that time, and revealed a lot of strangeness. Why should those people use strong aphrodisiacs, and not poisons. Wouldn't it be easier to poison her to death.
She couldn't figure out why, but she knew it. At this time, let's not talk about family affection. is from the perspective of interests, at this critical moment, she can't really have a dislike with her uncle. Otherwise, it will only be their hostile ones who will be cheaper.
Now Uncle Zhu swore that he would not see his grandmother in a hundred years, and Wen Wan knew that people here were very superstitious, and this oath was very heavy. Wen Wan also has some sympathy for her uncle, regardless of what her grandmother is, but over the years, it has not been easy for her uncle. The situation is no worse than the environment in her previous lifeβ‘ or even worse. Because your life is in danger at any time.
Take a step back and say what if you don't forgive. Can she really tear her face with Uncle Zhu? No. With the attention torn his face, do you still want to go to King Zhao. Just the mother and son, she was terrified when she saw it. Wen Wan's wish is actually not high, as long as Zhu Neng promises not to hide things about her in the future, and no longer puts her in danger at will, even if she wants to use it, let her know that she has time to prepare, it is enough.
As soon as he returned to the capital, he went to the palace to meet the emperor.
"Father, if these crops can be popularized, they will inevitably benefit the people of the world. There will be no more food, drought, and calamity. "See, this will return to calm. After experiencing the gentle and unwavering appearance, he wanted to be excited again, but he would lose his position. Moreover, such a major event, the father must have known about it a long time ago.
Sure enough, as expected, the emperor's face was very calm after hearing this, "Now over there in Shilitunzi, there are more than one million catties of seeds and beans with potatoes and sweet potatoesΓ beans have passed the season, but sweet potatoes happen to be in this season and can be planted in large quantities." On the gentle Zhuangzi, there are about 800,000 catties of sweet potatoes. One acre can produce nearly 1,000 catties, and once the sweet potato is planted, the seeds needed are not only these. For the time being, take out 300,000 catties and plant them in an all-round way. I've accumulated enough seeds, and I'll leave it to you to dispose of when β it spreads out next year. "The emperor has taken everything into account, and everything that should be considered has been considered.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Father, when the sons and daughters came back, Mr. Song promised to write down and submit the process of recording the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the past few years. My father and son wanted to send some officials from the Ministry of Industry to learn from Mr. Song. When the time comes, send them down to know that planting these crops locally should be effective. β
The emperor nodded: "I have already sent more than a dozen people to study in Zhuangzi before. Up to now, it's all working. Go down and do it, it's sweet potato planting season. If you miss it, you'll have to wait for the next year. β
Zhu Ying said: "Erchen knows. Erchen will do this errand with his heart. β
The reason why the emperor had to wait for Zhu to go to Shili Tunzi was because this errand could only be handed over to Zhu. To hand it over to other people, the trouble is not a star. Not to mention anything else, now there are one and a half pounds of potatoes on the market, and one or two pounds of silver for sweet potatoes. Calculated that this million catties of seeds will cost nearly two million taels of silver.
The emperor knew that as long as he spoke, Wen Wan would definitely offer it with both hands. But he didn't open it, and openly asked his granddaughter for things, but he didn't have any money to give. The emperor can't let go of this old face, and the time is gentle, and the situation is special. There is no way to β do it, he doesn't open it.
As for sending other people to negotiate, the emperor was very clear in his heart. With this girl's temperament, except for him, no one wants to take advantage of her. So this errand can only be done by the eighth child.
Wen Wan didn't know that her Zhuangzi had already been under β the full supervision of the emperor and why sweet potatoes and potatoes were so expensive outside. But her village can grow so many seeds safely. It's all the emperor pressing β things on it, Song Luoyang knows, and Zhuang Tou knows, 'All the people on the son know.
We're done talking. The emperor looked at him and said with displeasure on his face, "Why didn't you bring Wen Wan back with you?" "Only one of the two tasks has been completed. Wen Wan can't even bring it back. I thought that the girl would stay on the Zhuangzi for a few days. Unexpectedly, he didn't come back from Zhuangzi.
There was a rare smile on her face, "The girl said, it's too hot in the capital, and it's cool in Zhuangzi." After this hot period, I will come back. It may not be back until mid-August. Erchen wanted to forcibly bring her back, but this girl threatened Erchen and said that if she was pressed back to the capital like last time. In the future, I will ignore my sons and never talk to my sons again. Erchen had no choice but to come back alone. These words, in the ears of the emperor, have the meaning of showing off.
The emperor looked at the coffin face of the eighth child, and smiled, and was very unhappy. The emperor knew very well what was happening in the Zhuangzi. It's just that the emperor really didn't expect that Wen Wan would be so easily coaxed by Lao Ba in a few words. He began to think that Zhu would go through some twists and turns. Who knows, in a bone, the knot will be untied. The process went smoothly beyond the emperor's expectations.
The emperor sighed as a child very gently in β his heart, but his heart was still too softβ stupid. The emperor had no taste in his heart, and he couldn't look at it well, so he let him go out with a cold face.
I don't know what's wrong with the emperor's old man. It was fine just now, and he said it well, but he changed his face and drove him out again. The old man's mind is really hard to guess, and it is also a shame that the child is trembling in the palace.
For the next period of time, the old man of the emperor always picked his nose and raised his eyes, and reprimanded him through the city, anyway, how unpleasant he looked. On errands, he is also picky in the eggs, and he is reprimanded when he finds the reason - he is embarrassed.
Concubine Xian got the news and asked in disbelief, "Reconciled?" That's it, it's simple, I looked at the past and said a few words to Wen Wan, and the two reconciled? Wen Wan didn't have any more awkward trouble with Zhu? "That girl is such a sensitive person, after knowing that Zhu is using her, according to her ideas, not to mention that she is separated from Zhu Ming, at least she has a dislike. Judging from such a long time, Wen Wan's temperament has changed. How could he be coaxed by a few words.
But the news is absolutely true. The gentle performance once again exceeded her budget. She really can't see through this child now, what is going on in her head. She couldn't touch any lifeline.
Concubine Xian thought for a long time before she understood. The various performances of gentleness are not because she is angry and dislikes with Zhu. It's about showing the attitude, making you feel guilty and regretful. If she doesn't say a word of generosity, she will forgive β her and will not treat her like this in the future. It's a pity that the idea is naΓ―ve.
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "It's quite interesting. "Wen Wan can even use this to calculate people's hearts to this point, is there anything more interesting than this?
Mr. Chen and Shen Jian originally wanted to ask about Zhuangzi. But when I saw the joy on my face, I knew that the matter was over.
Shen Jian is very familiar with Zhu's temperament, it should be a great good thing, otherwise, Zhu would not be so happy, "Lord, but there is something very happy." β
Mr. Chan also felt a little overexcited. If you just reconcile with the county lord, you won't be so happy!
Zhu quickly solved the doubts of the two people. What happened on the Zhuangzi was told to the two of them one by one. And the reaction of the two. The same is a pleasant surprise.
It's definitely a good thing for them. Once the great good β deeds are done, it will be a major event that benefits the people of the world, solves the big problems of the imperial court, and makes great achievements, which will definitely leave a thousand history. With this political achievement, the competition for the position of prince has one more chance of winning.
Mr. Chen said with emotion: "No wonder Song Luoyang once told me in a letter that he was doing something for the benefit of the people of the world. I also wondered what he could do for the benefit of the people of the world when he nested on the Zhuangzi all day. It turned out to be such a big deal. β
Shen Jian sighed and said, "Lord Wang, county lord. It's really, it makes me sigh! "Silentβ didn't do anything. When it comes out, it will scare you a lot β, and he will be punished by the heavy punishment. Originally, there was still a trace of discomfort in my heart. But now, he is deeply afraidβ The lord of a county is really in trouble, and it is difficult for him to pass the blame for his death.
Zhu followed the two to discuss this matter. Because I still have to wait for Song Luoyang's excerpt, it will be a day at night.
On Shili Tunzi, Wen Wan looked very comfortable on her face. But what others don't know is that in fact, there is β deep regret in her heart. At this time last year, on the Zhuangzi. It was a good day. is really as carefree as a fairy.
Wen Wan heard that β΄ Qi Xuan had returned to the capital.
Xia Yao nodded and said, "Master Chun has returned to the capital, and he is still recuperating at home." But I've heard that it's much better now than before. The county lord doesn't need it. It's all fine in Gangnam. When I return to the capital, there will be no trouble. "The famous doctors in the capital gathered β΄ Qi Xuan's heart disease, and it was really nothing.
Attention presented Song Luoyang's excerpt "Father, this is the excerpt β submitted by Song Luoyang, which records in detail the process of sweet potato planting, from the field to the harvest"
Because Song Luoyang is not an official, his excerpt is not qualified to petition for the imperial case. So it's up to you to help with it.
The emperor took it and looked at it, and ordered the people below to bring Lord Cao Yin, the head of the Ministry of Households, and Lord Shang Lu Zhan Yuan Lu of the Ministry of Works.
"Look at this excerpt? Suggestions, how to deal with it. The two of them looked at the fold, and their eyes widened, and they didn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, this, this thing, this crop yields nearly 1,000 catties per mu. Isn't it true that it's not in a β good field? "Cao Yin doesn't believe that good fields don't have so much output! How is this possible.
"The yield per mu is 1,000 catties, or is it planted on the hillside, not in the paddy field? Your Majesty, is this true? Lord Lu asked in surprise and delight.
"There's nothing wrong with that. They have been working on it for 5 years. There are detailed records of the growth process of potatoes and sweet potatoes. I've seen it myself, and it's true. "Zhu's face was very calm.
The two were sure that the news was true, and they were so shocked that they didn't speak for a long time. The gentle county lord did such a big thing again quietly. The county lord really doesn't make a sound, and he has to scare people to death if he makes a sound.
Lord Cao saw that the emperor's face was very peaceful, and there was no news outside, so he guessed in his heart that the emperor must have blocked the news, otherwise, there would be no news about this matter, "Your Majesty, if this crop is popularized, the people will starve." There will be no famine. "I don't know how much easier the burden of the court is.
The emperor nodded: "This matter will be handled by Zhu." The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Work will assist well. It is imperative that this grain crop be fully promoted in Daqi next year. β
The two immediately and respectfully responded.
As soon as Cao Shangshu opened his mouth, the emperor waved his hand and let them go down. Cao Shangshu swallowed back the words he was about to export. Seeing the emperor like this, he honestly followed behind.
Out of the Yanghe Palace, Cao Yin asked, "Lord Wang, how many grain seeds are there in the county lord Zhuangzi?" β
When he knew that there were more than one million grain seeds on the Zhuangzi, the lord of Wenwan County, Lord Cao looked embarrassed, "Lord Wang, if it is calculated according to the market price, the imperial court will have to spend two million taels of silver to buy it." Now that the summer tax has not been collected, and there is not enough money in the treasury, β‘ master, you see how this should be. "The problem is that even if the tax is paid, it will not take back such a large amount of money to buy food seeds.
Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. My father is really old. No wonder I rushed to Zhuangzi by myself. It turned out that he deliberately wanted to let himself know, and then proposed to promote the grain seeds. The father was not easy to speak, so he pushed it to him, and said after a while, "This matter will be handled by the king." β
Wen Wan was on the Zhuangzi, and after a few comfortable days, she heard that the attention was coming. Wen Wan was strange, although the letter said that she was urging her to go back, but she had already made it clear that she would go back β before the Mid-Autumn Festival and would come over in a hurry to do something. I have to arrest her and go back.
Wen Wan came out to greet Zhu, and saw that there were two ministers behind her. It turned out to be Cao Shangshu and Lu Shangshu. Attention to the temperament, gentle is a good understanding, where is such a casual person. There must be serious business.
The two ministers came this time, one is to inspect them. Second, you have to ask in person, so you can have a good plan. After all, it is really promoted, and for the imperial court, it is a first-class event. If you want to have a good harvest this time, you have to plan your planting for next year in advance.
Seeing Wen Wan, he didn't detour, "Wen Wan, all the crop seeds on your Zhuangzi will be bought by the imperial court." Grow separately. No problem, we have to plant it in Daqi next year. β
Wen Wan looked at Zhu and said, what to buy. If you want it, just take it. Wen Wan's words that she didn't want to think about made Lord Cao and Lord Lu embarrassed. The reputation of the gentleness of the county lord before, I don't know who spread it.
"The court doesn't have enough money now, you take the 100,000 taels of silver first, and if you don't have it, wait for the court to be lucky, and then give it all to you." Zhu handed Wen Wan 100,000 taels of silver.
The two Shangshu lords sweated profusely. It's really possible, nearly two million seeds, only 100,000 taels of silver.
Zhu said gently, "I want to promote the cultivation method of sweet potatoes and potatoes, so that even if there are natural disasters such as drought in the future, with such a large amount of prepared grain, I am not afraid that β some money will be compensation for you." β
Wen Wan saw that if she didn't say anything, she would probably have to be misunderstood. At the moment, he pulled a face, and drew a few times unhappily, "Lord Wang, two adults, the lord of our family said that if those crops are useful, you can take them, and you don't need to give money β, and some things are not worth any money." β
Zhu shook his head, "How can this be done?" "Posture still needs to be sufficient. Of course, it was not for Wen Wan to see, but for the two Shangshu adults.
Wen Wan thought about it, indeed, if she didn't take a penny, it would be too much of a loss. So after thinking about it, Xia Yao took the pen and came over. A row of numbers was written on the paper.
Xia Yao knew what Wen Wan meant, and said with a smile, "The county lord said." She bought seeds back and forth, spent 50,000 taels, and after a few years, the interest was 4,000 taels. The court was really sincere, so he gave her the 54,000 taels. She's not a loss. β
Attention was made to cry and laugh by the gentle algorithm. Wen Wan is really good at settling accounts, if others want to do business with the county lord, they all have to earn to death.
Lord Cao and Lord Lu listened to it, but they were very moved. They knew that the lord of the county did not want silver when he said this. But I don't want a cent, and it hurts the dignity β of the court, but the last time was a voluntary donation β, but the court levied it β, and it was to save face for the court.
Zhu shook his head lightly, "Those are your private property, how can the imperial court take advantage of you." β
Wen Wan despised it in her heart, cut, the emperor's grandfather was still saying that the treasury was not full before, and he was always thinking about how to open up sources and reduce expenditure! I was so worried about the money that I didn't know how β to really calculate it according to the market price, could the imperial court come up with so much money that exceeded the budget at once?
Ahem, there is no one in the world who is so sad as her. If you give something to someone, you have to beg someone to accept it. Xia Yao relayed her gentle words on the side: "Lord Wang, the county lord said that she still didn't care about these crops when she bought them. Dana thought about the story, really make it out, and when the time comes, you can talk about it in front of the emperor, and you can also get a liking. Now that she has made it up, the county lord said that she didn't do anythingβ€ she felt ashamed of the money, and she would get it back. If you want to be rewarded, reward Mr. Song and Zhuang Tou! "It's early to return to the basics. Wen Wan and Huangzhuang. The Β°C of the emperor's other reward is calculated, where is really clear.
Wen Wan thought for a while, "Lord Wang, the county lord said." If you don't want to go, ask the prince to intercede with the emperor on behalf of the county lord, and give the county lord the thirty poured sand land in the east of the suburb of Hedong. The county lord said that she was going to buy it there, and now she should compensate her! β
"How can that be, it's wasteland, and most of it is sand." Zhu disagreed. (To be continued.) , ((() Vote for recommendation, monthly pass,,γ
