Chapter 128: Doing Big Things
When he was poor, Chen Zhengtai always hoped to find a few powerful people to burn yellow paper as brothers.
But when he got rich, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard that someone wanted to be a brother with him.
That's probably how people's hearts are.
But everyone is coming, what else can be done?
So I asked people to fry a few side dishes and send them, and warmed the wine brought by Cheng Biting Jin!
The two sat down in front of a table of sumptuous dishes, and Cheng Biting Jin wandered around the dishes with a pair of tiger eyes, and said: "Why don't you have your precious potatoes, the old man also wants to taste them." β
"Nope." Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation: "Keep the seedlings." β
"Oh." Cheng bit Jin and grinned again!
The recklessness and honesty of the appearance seem to be the best disguise for Cheng Yanjin's complex heart, and he said regretfully: "It makes sense, it makes sense, this is a baby, you can't eat it at will, it's a sin to eat it." β
Then, he said: "Can you really produce a thousand catties per mu of potatoes?" Oh, no, it should be 1,200 pounds? β
Chen Zhengtai does not drink, but holds chopsticks, holds the dishes, and quickly puts them in his mouth!
He was afraid that after Cheng biting the gold spit and flying later, this dish would not be edible!
At this time, he said: "It's almost, of course, in fact, you can't say that, the yield per mu is 1,000 catties...... Of course, it is right, but the annual output may be three or four thousand catties. β
"What?" Cheng Biting Jin's eyes glared: "What do you mean?" β
Chen Zhengtai said: "This potato, can be done two or three crops a year, of course, as long as you are not too troublesome, you have to cultivate intensively, as this thing is a little hurtful, you need to take a turn, after planting for a year, you have to plant some other rest." β
At this moment, Cheng Biting Jin's eyes began to sprout stars, he was not interested in the words of the future, only interested in two and three crops a year.
Planting one acre of land can make an old snack for more than a year, and one acre of land can feed a family.
"Then this seedling ......" Cheng bit the golden mouth and said tentatively, looking at Chen Zhengtai cautiously.
Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "Miao? What does Shibo want? β
Cheng Yanjin nodded hurriedly, this is really a baby, isn't this why he came here so anxiously today?
So he said: "The nephew will make a price, my old Cheng also has a lot of land, hehe......"
Chen Zhengtai said calmly: "This is easy, after a few days, send you a few plants, not only that, you copy a farming guide, specifically teach you how to take care of this thing, and next year, when you harvest, you will go to raise seedlings by yourself." This is a good thing for me, it can withstand cold and drought, it can also prevent insects, it is easy to grow, and it saves manpower. β
Cheng bit Jin and drank all the wine in the bowl, and said in surprise: "Don't want money? β
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "We still need to talk about money?" Shibo, if you say something like this, I, Chen, will be angry, and I will go to beat Cheng Cheng tomorrow for a moment of silence. β
This sentence actually had no deterrent to Cheng Biting Jin, his face was full of red light, he waved his big hand, and said heroically: "You fight, you can fight casually, don't kill him, oh, don't destroy his life, and keep the heirs, the rest, you are free, the old man did it first." β
After that, he served the wine, and drank the wine directly to the bottom, which can be described as flowing and smooth, all in one go!
After that, he put down the bowl and took a breath in his mouth, and he said beautifully: "The old man has long said that your Chen family is extraordinary, and sooner or later it will soar into the sky, you see, the old man said it again." β
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
This seems to be a relaxed word, but it makes Chen Zhengtai feel that his neck is a little cold, although his teacher is kind and pleasant, but Chen Zhengtai has always known that his teacher is a ruthless person.
And the reckless man in front of him, who seems to be familiar with himself, is actually even more ruthless. Just beat it casually, don't kill it, it looks free and easy, but in fact, it seems to have some kind of inexplicable threat and deterrence to Chen Zhengtai.
Chen Zhengtai suddenly felt that his confidence was gone, and said embarrassedly: "Shibo has a good amount of wine, and the little nephew admires it very much." β
Cheng Yanjin shook his head and laughed happily: "This is nothing, in the army, the old man used a jar to drink, but now it ...... It's old. You're a seedling, only send it to our Cheng family? β
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said: "Of course I sent it all, I, Chen Zhengtai, am not a stingy person?" If the big guy wants it, how can I not give it? β
Hear this......
The smile on Cheng Yanjin's face suddenly converged, and his eyes straightened.
He felt something was wrong.
Cheng Yanjin is by no means such a reckless man as he seems on the surface, in fact, this person is very good at running the family business, and this Cheng family is in his hands, which can be described as prosperous!
He frowned and asked, "Give it away for nothing?" β
Chen Zhengtai nodded straight and said, "Well, it's for nothing." β
He asked again in disbelief: "All for nothing?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Chen Zhengtai was a little speechless, but still nodded.
He was very emotional, could it be that if he did a little good deed, there were still people who didn't believe it?
At this moment, I saw Cheng bite Jin Meng and slapped his thigh: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" β
"You didn't ask."
"I don't fucking ask you?"
This conversation seems similar......
"Alright, stop."
Seeing that he was arguing again, Chen Zhengtai hurriedly made a stop gesture! If this continues, when will this nonsense come to an end!
Chen Zhengtai turned to ask: "Shibo, what's wrong?" β
"What's wrong?" Cheng stood up with a swish, gritted his teeth and said: "Gu cheap hurts farmers, you still don't understand this truth?" Pity my old Cheng family, I have worked so hard to save so much land, I don't drink this wine, goodbye. β
He stood up, just in time to see Chen Fu on the side still warming the wine with the stove, and then, he snatched the pot of wine and ran away with it.
Cheng Yanjin ran in a bit of a hurry, so much so that the wine jug he was carrying in his hand swayed and poured out a lot of wine.
One acre of land grows thousands of catties of grain...... This...... Or is it a human thing?
What is the concept that food production may increase tenfold in the near future?
Why are food prices high?
In the final analysis, it is because there is a shortage of food, and as long as people still have to eat food, there will always be insufficient food.
Countless mouths will gnaw up the food that grows every year.
And to grow food, you need land, so the price of land ...... Forever expensive.
Cheng Yanjin likes to save land, and he has saved a lot, but he can see ...... Chen Zhengtai, a bastard thing, sends people seedlings with an annual output of thousands of catties of grain everywhere, and fools understand that this land is ...... I'm afraid it's going to be worthless.
Go home...... Sell the land and go.
Chen Zhengtai looked at his anxious appearance, and was a little stunned for a while!
You can run, I know you are in a hurry, but why do you have to take away the wine you sent? I Chen Zhengtai don't want to lose face?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this time, in Wei's house.
Wei Jieyi knelt in the ancestral hall.
In front of countless ancestors and ancestors, more than a dozen clan elders sat on both sides.
Wei Xuanzhen's face was very ugly, looking at the thing in front of her, she couldn't get angry!
Today...... It's a big deal, but fortunately he's clever, so he quickly admitted his mistake, otherwise, he would really be killed by this stinky boy.
Sitting on the other side is Wei Xuanzhen's brother Wei Xuanzheng, Wei Xuanzheng is also Wei Jieyi's son, when he saw his son like this, Wei Xuanzheng felt very distressed!
But...... After all, he is not as good as Wei Xuanzhen, he is a descendant, so he can only be anxious on the sidelines.
Wei Xuanzhen couldn't help but shout anymore: "Bastard, you say good things about Chen Zhengtai everywhere in front of Your Majesty, you ...... You...... The Wei family raised you so big, what are you not eating inside and out? β
"Brother......" Wei Xuanzheng's face was miserable, he was a little afraid of his brother, but seeing his son kneeling on the cold ground and being reprimanded like this, he had to say with a bitter face: "Jieyi, he is not sensible, he is still a child." β
Wei Xuanzhen sneered mockingly: "He's a fart kid? Ask him, how many women he has ruined in the past? β
Wei Xuanzheng: "......"
Wei Jieyi knelt, but he held his chest up: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it." "Then he muttered stupid words such as 'my life is up to me, not heaven', 'don't bully the poor youth'.
Wei Xuanzhen trembled angrily: "Beast, beast, look at you, you are already crazy, today in front of the elders of the family, I, Wei Xuanzhen, will not spare you." β
Wei Jieyi said: "Uncle, our Wei family only knows how to hoard land, and the people in the family are all eating and waiting to die, and in the long run, everyone is a moth, and the uncle is the head of the family, so he should change this atmosphere and sell all the land in the family, we ......"
Land Sale......
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the clan elders present all changed.
Wei Xuanzhen almost fainted.
Is he being sarcastic about the old man? Ironically, the old man sold the land in the west of the city to Chen Zhengtai at a cheap price?
Or is it ...... This guy has gone crazy...... Oh my God, my Wei family is full of handsome people, why is there such a fool.
When Wei Xuanzheng heard his son say this, he was also frightened, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "Jieyi, Jieyi...... Don't say that, don't say anything like that. β
Standing beside Wei Xuanzhen was Huang Chenggong.
After making a few wrong predictions, Huang Chenggong was ruthlessly cleaned up by Wei Xuanzhen! But Huang Chenggong was not discouraged, he got up from wherever he wanted to fall!
This time, Wei Jieyi was asked to go to Erpigou to pursue the fugitive slaves, which was actually instigated by him behind his back.
Now seeing Wei Jieyi like this, especially when he heard the word selling land, he immediately whispered in Wei Xuanzhen's ear: "The proprietor, eight or nine out of ten are taught by Chen Zhengtai, then Chen Zhengtai is really lacking in virtue, he tasted the sweetness of buying our Wei's land, and now he is bewitching the Wei family's unscrupulous ......."
Wei Xuanzhen's face twitched, so she stood up angrily: "Come on, expert method!" β
Wei Jieyi was still not afraid, and he still looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
His father, Wei Xuanzheng, had already wailed and knelt down all of a sudden, pleading: "Brother, brother, you are gracious, gracious." β
"There are no rules, there is no circle, your own son, you don't know discipline, then use the ancestral family law to manage, come ......"
Wei Xuanzhen's face was so angry that her face turned red, and she put down her cruel words, and walked away without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of strong men came in, some took Wei Xuanzheng away, and some took a big stick.
In this ancestral hall, the sound of sticks and canes suddenly sounded.
It's just that...... Every time I beat it, I heard Wei Jieyi yell: "Struggle." β
This Wei Xuanzheng was crying outside the ancestral hall until Wei Jieyi was carried out in a coma.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a few days, the news began to spread.
Annual output of thousands of catties......
Seedlings are distributed everywhere.
Encourage production.
People who don't believe in this news still don't believe it, they think it's too fantastic.
It's just that...... In the market, all of a sudden, some strange people began to appear.
They appeared in the tooth shop, and the tooth shop in the east market was the strangest these days, they suddenly put up signs and sold land everywhere.
The price of land is even cheaper than in the past.
At first, some people noticed this anomaly, and some people were happy, isn't this a good time to buy land?
Thus...... Sale and purchase of land...... Gradually began to flourish.
But gradually, something started to taste wrong.
Because people are gradually realizing that the land is not available for purchase.
In the past, most of the land in Yahang was sold piecemeal.
After all...... The real family who controls the vast majority of land resources will never sell the land easily, which is the ancestral property and the foundation of the family.
Thus...... Often, the people who sell their land are the small families who have to sell their land because of famine or other reasons.
It stands to reason that most of this land is scattered, and the land is often not fertile!
Can...... This time, most of the land sold in the tooth shop is contiguous fertile land, and it is a large transaction, even if you eat it all at once, the next day, miraculously, people start to sell new land.
The first thing that notices that something is wrong is the tooth shop.
The merchants of the tooth shop had begun to realize something, and then ...... More rumors began to spread.
Of course...... At this time, compared with later generations, the spread of news in this era is often very lagging behind, and the vast majority of people have not yet reacted. But in Chang'an City, the dark tide has begun to surge.
The Chen family began to distribute seedlings, and in addition to keeping a large number of seedlings for themselves, the rest of the potatoes also began to be sent.
All of a sudden, Erpigou became more and more lively.
Many people call Chen Zhengtai Chen Dashan.
To be a good person, it is inevitable that there will be some psychological burden, but Chen Zhengtai is happy to do so.
In addition to having people distribute seedlings, the construction of this winery was also on the agenda.
In the future, if there is more food, it can be wasted at will, and non-staple food will be the general trend in the future.
What's more, Tuli has been thinking about this wine, and only hopes that Chen Zhengtai will make more.
The Turki Khan is still living in Honglu Monastery, and it will not be long before he will leave for the steppe!
He was deeply aware of Chen Zhengtai's honesty and his value, this person was the emperor's favorite minister, and in the future, he would be in the grassland, and he needed to have some contact with the Tang Dynasty, so he needed to start with Chen Zhengtai, so he ...... After the feast, he came to Erpigou a few more times!
Good brother, don't say anything, drink first, drink first, everyone is a brother, and whatever my wife is your wife, you will say it.
Li Chengqian also came often, and he was very excited when he saw Chen Zhengtai: "Senior brother, you have finally turned the corner, but you are lonely in a hurry, haha...... Do you know that Lone is trying to rescue you......"
Chen Zhengtai said: "Rescue me? What did the junior brother do? β
Li Chengqian: "......"
He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have done anything, so his face was a little embarrassed, and he was ashamed.
Chen Zhengtai changed the topic with a smile and said, "Your Highness is just right, come, I'll take you to the market." β
"Trader?" Li Chengqian looked puzzled.
Chen Zhengtai said: "In this world, there is a very powerful thing, it can't be seen or touched, but it can affect the national economy and people's livelihood...... Whoever will profit from it. His mentor Shengming, he has noticed this problem, so he privately ordered me to operate in Erpigou, which is to grasp the trend of the market. Senior brother, don't be idle all day long, these days, do a big deal with me. β
"Big?" Li Chengqian was puzzled for a while: "How big is it?" β
Chen Zhengtai crossed his hands and said, "It's as big as me." β
Li Chengqian was speechless for a while, he lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Actually, the lonely one is also very big." Do you believe it or not? I don't believe in it, and I'll show you. β
Chen Zhengtai: "......"
Dirty Tang stinky man, I used to be too naΓ―ve, but now I believe it.
Li Chengqian has a great interest in anything new.
In the university hall, Chen Zhengtai specially built a secret room, in this secret room, there are actually many scribes here, they hold abacus, constantly dialing and calculating, and then, this dense data began to be recorded.
Li Yifu, Hao Chujun and others also came here to help, they were responsible for sorting out the information, and they were almost busy with their feet touching the ground.
Chen Zhengtai even hung a simple map on the wall, and many marks were made on the map.
Li Chengqian looked fresh, this look, as if he was going to march and fight, and even the map was moved out.
Every once in a while, someone would come in a hurry: "The price of land in Hexi has dropped by sixty yuan." β
"Half an hour ago, someone ate the land east of the river. There are 700 acres ......"
"Senior brother, what the hell are you doing here?" Li Chengqian still can't understand what kind of fame this is!
Chen Zhengtai lowered his head at this time, his eyes fell on the direction of Hexi in Yutuli, and then he picked up his pen and marked it on it, and then said: "Senior brother is watching from the side first, these things, it is difficult for me to explain to you for the time being, you can watch more on the side, and you will be able to get started slowly." β
Li Chengqian sighed.
Not long after, Princess Sui'an also came.
As soon as he saw Princess Sui'an coming, Li Chengqian suddenly felt comforted in his heart, and finally came to another one that he didn't understand.
Princess Sui'an was very quiet, she seemed to have been here once, knew the rules here, and even occasionally got up to check the data recorded, frowning, looking very serious.
"Ah, sister, you actually know this, what do you think of this, what's the reputation here?" Li Chengqian looked suspicious.
"Shh Princess Sui'an silenced him: "In short, what the senior brother says, just do it according to his method, don't ask more, you still don't understand after asking." β
Li Chengqian: "......"
