Chapter 170: Brother Confrontation, Dividing Xiangrui (Asking for a Monthly Pass Subscription, 3)
Fat people love to show off. As a young son, Hu Hai naturally has to publicize the articles he writes. Including all the courtiers have also tasted and appreciated, and the evaluation is not low.
The views of each article are very profound, that is, the choice of words and sentences is quite immature. Moreover, there are typos, and a big black dot is drawn on it at every turn.
Fusu's noodles were like ashes, and the mutton in the bowl was suddenly not fragrant.
Hu Hai is all on it, so he must be indispensable.
"Fusu, you come and talk about it."
Look, sure enough, it's his turn.
Fusu slowly paced out and saluted.
"This time, the national teacher made an auspicious big competition, and lured it with profit, and the head of Qiantou did his best to cultivate. Fusu thought about it, in addition to the reward of ploughing oxen and Quyuan plows, but also because Jingyang Tianfu was lower. The national teacher once said that this is the driving force. ”
Fusu looked at it more profoundly, and his words were not rough.
Why do you work hard to farm?
One word, profit!
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Pretty much the same for anyone. Not to mention the head of Qian, these ministers are roughly the same.
At the mention of Tian Fu, Qin Shi Huang immediately frowned. Tian Fu is actually lower now, it used to be ten taxes one, and now it is twelve taxes one. Fusu once admonished, saying that he hoped to continue to lower it, but was refuted by Li Si and others.
There is no denying that there is a factor in this, but it is too early to tell. Fusu was still a little tender after all, quite upright and not tactful enough. But this kind of person will actually be very easy to get along with.
Bai Ji didn't say anything about this, just because the productivity is not enough now. The main tax revenue basically came from the Tianfu, and similar to high-profit businesses were also controlled by the Qin state. Even if Tian Fu is slightly lowered, the whole number is extremely amazing.
Qin Shi Huang was ambitious, and he also wanted to open up territory, so he naturally had to hoard a large amount of grain. Xianyang Cang, Liyang Cang, Hanzhong, Bashu...... What did the Qin State rely on to kill the Chu State in one fell swoop?
not only relied on Wang Qian's command, but also because the Qin State had grain. After a stalemate for two years, the state of Chu was consumed to death. How terrifying is it that there are 600,000 troops and no one is hungry?
The Qin Dynasty transported grain as much as later generations, and had to requisition a large number of prisoners to transport grain. There may be 100 stones in Xianyang, and the remaining 10 stones to be transported to the battlefield will be considered good. When the Qin State was fighting, the soldiers needed to bring some of their own food, and even then it was not enough.
With food in hand, don't panic when you fight. Fusu wanted to reduce the land endowment, which was undoubtedly shaking the foundation of the Qin State.
It doesn't matter if Jingyang is lowered here, it is a county seat. In addition, Qin Shi Huang gave Jingyang to Bai Ji, and Bai Ji can toss as much as he wants, even if some people are not happy. Besides, it doesn't matter if Jingyang lowers the field endowment, the Qin State can still afford it.
Fusu was a bit stupid when he mentioned this. But it's also normal, this guy is notoriously upright, and has repeatedly admonished Qin Shi Huang. persuaded to the end, persuaded himself to the side.
"I'll write a thousand-word essay on this matter."
Qin Shi Huang raised his hand lightly, today is the day of auspicious groundbreaking, he doesn't want to be angry. So he didn't pay attention to Fusu, so he waved his hand and sent it down.
A thousand words?
Hu Hai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fusu with some sympathy.
It's miserable!
His 800 words seem to be quite few. This is expected, Hu Hai is a sharpening sword, just to see how sharp the sword of Fusu can be.
"It just so happens that both of you are here, and I have heard that Hu Hai's swordsmanship has improved a lot. Now that there is wine and meat, you two might as well dance the sword to cheer up. ”
Fusu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "On the court, Hu Hai is still young, and the minister is afraid that he will hurt him, so it is better for the minister to dance alone." ”
This is actually the fat man's pot, and it is clearly embarrassing Hu Hai.
It is natural for Fusu to win, and if he does not keep it, it will be said that he is bullying the small with the big. After all, Hu Hai has been practicing for more than a month, no matter how high his talent is, how can he compare to Fusu? Moreover, there is a big difference in physique and strength between the two, not only in terms of skill but also in terms of skills.
If Fusu loses, it is estimated that it will be sprayed!
"It's okay, just try it with a wooden sword."
To put it bluntly, Qin Shi Huang wanted to see the schoolwork of the two.
The thin arms couldn't twist the thick thighs, and Fusu had no choice but to bow his head. Both of them were armed with wooden swords, and there was basically no danger.
Coming to the middle of the hall, Hu Hai saluted with a sword. Then he drew his sword, which was extremely fast. He knew that he was not an opponent of Fusu, and the possibility of victory was a quick victory.
Hu Hai has suffered a lot these days, while Fusu has eaten more. In terms of swordsmanship, Meng Changshan is stronger than Le Ji. As a fat man's personal thug, is it possible to have no skills?
Meng Changshan did not show the slightest mercy, and Fusu would be injured every day. As the eldest son, if he wanted to inherit the throne, he had to work hard to live up to Qin Shi Huang's expectations.
Swish!
Although it is a wooden sword, it is also sharp.
Fusu held his breath and drew his sword to intersect, which could be blocked by a sword. His footsteps did not move at all, and he grabbed a sword flower casually, and forced Hu Hai back a few steps. It can be seen from this sword that Hu Hai is too far behind in strength.
Le Ji is in the audience, eating mutton slowly. As for the fight between the two, he has no interest at all, and Hu Hai is bound to lose. According to him, Hu Hai had actually lost just now. With Fusu's swordsmanship, it was enough to catch up with a sword assassination, but he let go of the water.
"Color!"
The fat man applauded. He could naturally see that Hu Hai was full of flaws, but he was also much better than before.
From the beginning to the end, Fusu did not retreat, and Hu Hai tried several attacks, but they all returned in vain. In the end, he was abruptly picked by Fusu, and the long sword in his hand had fallen to the ground. Hu Hai gasped, his back already wet with sweat.
"Brother Huang's sword skills are superb, Hu Hai is not an opponent."
"Concession."
Fusu was calm and relaxed, holding a sword. In fact, he has already released water, but the gap between the two is too big.
Qin Shi Huang nodded with satisfaction, "You two stand down." Hu Hai can make such progress, thanks to Mr. Le Ji's painstaking teaching. ”
Le Ji got up and saluted, his face still very calm. He is still hostile to the Qin State, and such a deep hatred in the sea of blood is not something that can be let go.
Looking at the music season, Qin Shi Huang nodded with satisfaction. At first, he was actually a little jealous, but after hearing that Le Ji was injured in order to save Hu Hai, he was relieved.
Full of wine and food, the ministers looked at the mountains of potatoes, and their faces were full of excitement. It is a flower that Meng Yi plays, and while drinking, he said that he wanted to write a poem for potatoes.
"The flowers of Yudian are blooming, and the farmers are smiling all over the sky."
It's a pity that it's only half a sentence.
How to store these potatoes is also a problem. Now that it's autumn, we can plant it again according to the time, and we will definitely be able to harvest it before the snow, but the yield may be worse.
It is more convenient to store it in the winter and place it in the cellar. There should be no problem with storing it for two or three months, and the taste is definitely not good, and it is still okay to use it for seeding.
Several ministers came to ask for it, such as Li Xin and Meng Yi, who definitely had to give. Wang Jian is next door to Pinyang, and he has long been hungry for potatoes and corn, so he naturally has to give some.
Qin Teng was a little embarrassed, after all, his relationship with Bai Ji was not very good. Thinking that he couldn't just take advantage, he gave the jade pu he was wearing to Bai Ji, and exchanged it for five stone potatoes and a pound of corn.
If you sow corn, it should not be too dense or too thin, and you need about 8-10 catties of seeds per acre of land. Remove the corn cob, and one jun can plant two acres of land. There are detailed records of how to plant, and they just need to follow the "Law of Fields".
There is no need to remind Bai Ji, absolutely no one dares to eat auspicious now.
Bai Ji specially instructed them to basically plant them when they returned. With good fertilization, two months is enough to break through the soil and ripen.
After everyone saw that Qin Teng had succeeded, they followed suit.
Chun Yuyue looked at the potatoes and corn decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no smile on his worried face, and no one had a good face.
These ministers are bandits, hungry wolves!
Is it easy to have something good in your hands?
Just exchange a jade pendant, it's a big loss!
After these ministers took it away, in fact, there was still a lot of Baiji left. In the end, Bai Ji gave three baskets full of potatoes and corn, adding up to more than a dozen stones, and gave them directly to Min Zima.
"Your Majesty, this is ......"
"It's not easy to come all the way, take it back and cultivate it well. It can be harvested once every two months, and after planting a piece of land, you have to change the bean seeds. ”
Bai Ji has never been a stingy person. Min Zima also has his own reasons, although the yin and yang are a little weird, but people are not bad. More than 1,000 miles along the road, it is estimated that the carriage will fall apart. It's better to bring some souvenirs back, Bai Ji doesn't care about these.
Looking at Bai Ji, Min Zima's eyes were red. Thinking that he had been suspicious of Bai Ji in the past, he was even more ashamed in his heart. Then, he hurried to untie the jade pendant.
"Well, your ancestors were also disciples of Confucius. You are also considered a descendant of this monarch, and the elders should send something. When you go back, you should cultivate it well, and you should spread it as quickly as possible. ”
"Don't worry!"
Min Zima nodded excitedly. That's right, Bai Ji has lived for 500 years, isn't he his elder?
In fact, Bai Ji has considered this problem, and now Jingyang needs to use manpower in all aspects. There is no need to expand the cultivated area, and it is not appropriate to put too much pressure on the Qianshou.
Potatoes are promoted, and it is also good for him. The merit value obtained will only be higher, so Bai Ji doesn't mind sending more.
Chun Yuyue showed a smile this time. He himself is from Qi Di, and he is a contemporary Confucian, so naturally he and Min Zima know each other. The two had a good relationship in private, and they were naturally very happy to see that Bai Ji didn't care about it, and gave more than ten Shi Xiangrui.
In the end, there were about 800 stone left in the potatoes, and the corn was basically unchanged. Including Qin Shi Huang, he also got a lot in his hands.
How to cultivate, white millet has instructions. Potatoes are not mentioned, but this corn needs to be paid attention to, and it is best to cultivate it after the sun has been dried. Normal corn is not suitable for seed retention, and this problem has been overcome after the transformation of the fairy method of white millet.
Qin Shi Huang and Bai Ji sat by the lake fishing, carrying a piece of corn, and they always felt heavy.
"National teacher, do you really want me to be a farmer?"
"Xianyang Palace is so big, it can't be wasted!"
