Chapter 225: Loser
Zhuangshang is busy in full swing.
In fact, since last year, the villagers in Zhuangshang have been busier than other villages, and there are projects in full swing everywhere, even in winter, there is also a job of selling vegetables.
Although there is no time to rest throughout the year, the villagers will feel down-to-earth and have smiles on their faces all the time.
Other villages, envy can't come, how can they be too much work.
No, the time is already the beginning of February, spring ploughing is about to begin, and now there is the work of hatching chicks again, the young master summoned, the villagers naturally responded positively, and many women rushed over.
The artificial incubation site has been moved from Fangfu to the miscellaneous courtyard, which is a special yard, and it is now in full swing.
The spring ploughing season is getting closer and closer, and Fang Yiai also remembered something, so he came to find Fang Wenquan and asked: "Uncle Wenquan, how many white stacked flower seeds have been collected now?" ”
Although there are already better down jackets, with the current output of the farm, it is impossible for the people to wear cotton clothes, and ordinary people cannot afford to wear down jackets.
He can ignore others, but he can't ignore the villagers in the village.
Therefore, cotton cultivation has become the first choice.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would encounter such a big resistance!
"What I bought from various families in Chang'an, plus what I bought from Hu Shang, now has more than 20 catties." Fang Wenquan replied.
"Erlang, what are these flower seeds for?" He continued to ask, he hadn't asked much before, but now that Fang Yiai mentioned it again, he couldn't help but be curious.
"Of course, it's for planting."
"With so many flower seeds, where do you plant them? ……”
Halfway through speaking, I don't know what he thought, his voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Fang Yiai incredulously, "You won't, you want to plant flowers in the field, right?" ”
No wonder Fang Wenquan is so excited, in the eyes of the peasant family, this is the behavior of many losers!
Fang Yiai is good at creating miracles, and he is used to seeing all kinds of miracles, but the benefits of this matter are in front of him, and these flower seeds can't be eaten, what are they planted.
No matter how you look at it, this is undoubtedly a loser.
How much less grain you have to produce in a year!
It's distressing!
But he saw that Fang Yiai nodded lightly, which confirmed this "bold" conjecture, and he said anxiously: "Erlang, what are you doing with this useless flower?" It's a complete waste of good land......"
"If you don't have a reasonable explanation, the old man can't look at you nonsense!"
"This flower is very useful......
Fang Yiai persuaded with a smile, but before he finished speaking, Fang Wenquan couldn't sit still, "What's the use of looking good?" ”
"Uncle Wen Quan, don't worry, sit down and listen to me talk slowly......"
Fang Yiai helped him sit down, and then said: "Actually, the white stack is also called 'cotton', which is filled into clothes and quilts, and it has the effect of keeping warm in winter......
"Like that eiderdown?"
"Not bad."
Fang Yiai nodded with a smile, and added, "If you plant it, you won't have less income from food." ”
Fang Wenquan was silent for a moment, wrinkled his face and said, "But in this heart, there is still no Chinese food." ”
In ancient times, this was a common phenomenon, the small peasant economy, self-sufficiency, food is the foundation of survival, completely dependent on money to buy, there is always a lack of security.
"Otherwise, it depends on who of the villagers is willing to plant, and when the time comes, I will exchange all the food for it." Fang Yiai proposed.
"This method is good, I'll go down and discuss it with the big guy."
……
Following.
The villagers in Zhuangshang all know about this matter, and Fang Yiai also plans to hide it, and he has to discuss it with everyone, he is not a domineering and unreasonable person.
What's more, the land still has to be planted by the villagers......
"Have you heard, the young master is going to plant flowers in the field!" This matter is indispensable for discussion, and there is no shortage of women in the village, and after tea and dinner, they like to chat together.
"I heard that my family is still going to a meeting! said that it was planted voluntarily, and the young master exchanged it for grain after the autumn harvest. ”
"Do you grow it?"
"Anyway, my family believes in the young master, and the young master will do whatever he says."
"Ahh That's it...... My family said that they wanted to plant, and they asked me to scold me. No, I'll go back and say it. ”
"You say, 'What are you planting this flower for?'
"The family is big and coarse, how do you know this. Anyway, if you follow the young master, you won't suffer. ”
"What a rough man, I heard that the boss of your family took the first place in the final exam last year."
Hearing the neighbors say this, the woman smiled from ear to ear, her face was full of pride, and the topic began to deviate......
Today.
The house is also extremely busy.
Many old people in the village, when they heard about planting cotton, came to visit and tried to persuade Fang Yiai not to waste the fertile land so much.
Questioning and blaming are not counted.
Without the love of the house, everyone would not be able to live a good life now.
It stands to reason that the young master should not have been refused, but the field is the lifeblood of the common people, and so many fertile fields are used to grow flowers, they are really distressed.
Fang Yiai told the plan again, and the old people began to talk at length again.
They really don't care about the money, and now they rely on some work in the village, and the family's expenses for a year are enough.
Moreover, there are some small businesses that are not eye-catching, and they are handed over to the villagers in the village to operate, which is a lot of income, and now they are not hungry at all.
In the end, he even alarmed Fang Xuanling, moved with affection, and persuaded them with righteousness.
In the final analysis, Fang Yiai is familiar with everyone, and the high-ranking prime minister Fang Xuanling is more intimidating in front of everyone, and he is a hundred sentences in one sentence.
Lao Fang was quite excited when he heard the effect of cotton, and his eyes lit up, "Erlang, is this thing really as you said?" ”
……
No surprises.
Not long after, the report appeared on Li Shimin's case, and after reading the report, he immediately summoned Fang Xuanling, and was ecstatic to get the affirmative answer from Lao Fang.
"Since this flower is so useful, why not expand the planting area, so that the people don't have to endure the cold of winter."
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty must not! First, there are not many cotton seeds, and they are still in the breeding stage. Second, the grain is not enough today, and if the people are planting cotton, I am afraid that the world will not have enough to eat. ”
"I'm too anxious."
"Your Majesty cares about the people of Li, this is the blessing of the world!" Li Shimin was annoyed and introspective, the old house was a sycophant, and the cooperation between the two monarchs and ministers was seamless.
"Fang Yiai is really a pillar of the country, and he has made a great contribution to the imperial court."
"The dog is still young, and he causes trouble everywhere, and His Majesty has to spur and educate him a lot." Fang Xuanling said humbly.
"Haha, the merit is the merit that I have tried, and if I do this, I will give Fang Yiai a great credit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fang Xuanling hurriedly thanked him, very happy in his heart, and said that Li Shimin was holding on to it. Of course, in the future, it is probably indispensable to wear small shoes for Fang Yiai.
