Chapter 331: Sweet Potato Planting

"Master, the military master outside said, please go to the teahouse for a gathering."

Three days after the parade, Su Lie received Chen Zijian's reply.

With a population of one million, an unprecedentedly strong military force, and a large number of opportunities to make a fortune, the Su family may have been able to pose as a big family in front of Chen Zijian in the past, but the current Zhangjiacheng is no longer something that the Su family can imagine.

Su Lie: "Quick, go and bring the gifts prepared by the head of the house, and go to the teahouse with me, don't let the city lord wait." ”

Since the teahouse has been in full bloom in Zhangjiacheng under the guidance of Chen Zijian.

In addition to the teahouse opened by Chen Zijian's brother-in-law, many people with vision imitate the style and practice of the teahouse, plus Chen Zijian's support.

As a result, the people of Zhangjiacheng have developed the habit of running to the teahouse in their free time, chatting and watching plays, up to the city lord Chen Zijian, and down to the ordinary people, and the teahouse has become a place of entertainment for most people.

Of course, to say that the tea house has the highest specifications, there is no doubt that it is not far from the first district government building, the first tea house in Zhangjiacheng.

The reason is the city lord, the city lord's wife often comes to drink tea, and there are many high-level managers in Zhangjiacheng.

All the people are attached to this place, the people's thinking is very simple, I can't compare with the high status of your city lord, but here in Youfu Teahouse, eat the same snacks, drink the same tea, and listen to the same play, so that there is a balance in the heart.

"Hello city lord, the head of the family is inconvenient to travel, so I can't come to see you, so I specially asked the little old man to excuse you."

In the last transaction, the Su family returned to Yuezhou City to sell all kinds of items purchased in Zhangjiacheng, such as sugar, refined salt, soap, etc., and easily made several times the profit.

Businessmen make money, not to mention being respectful to Chen Zijian, even if they let them lie down and call their father, there is no problem.

Knowing Chen Zijian's habits, Su Lie entered the door and gave him a salute.

Chen Zijian: "Hehe, Su Lao is polite, I am very satisfied with the women you sent over, they are knowledgeable and courteous, and they have helped me a lot, I want to thank you Su family for this." ”

The Su family has cultivated a group of women since childhood, as a "gift" to dignitaries, Qin Keqing and Qin Keya were arranged by the Su family for Chen Zijian.

Because of the lack of primary school teachers, Chen Zijian took up the idea of the group of women in the Su family, used all the commodities to "redeem" those women, and invited Zhang Jiacheng to be a teaching teacher.

The admission of a group of female teachers to the school solves many problems.

Su Lie was happy in his heart, he brought more than 100 people to Chen Zijian last time, and swept away the women cultivated by the Su family, of course, the Su family did not suffer a loss, and the silver paid by Chen Zijian was not a small amount.

Su Lie saluted again: "It is the honor of our Su family to be able to help you, my lord." ”

It doesn't cost anything to make a sycophant, and of course Su Lie doesn't hesitate to say good things. As long as it can bring benefits, sycophants are nothing.

"My lord, this is given to you by the head of the family, please accept it with a smile."

Chen Zijian looked at the list at random, all of them were gold and silver jewelry and other things, as well as jade, jade and Buddha statues.

Chen Zijian's status, what do you want, "If you have a heart, please sit down, you don't have to be polite here." ”

The Su family is Chen Zijian's helper for hollowing out the rich, and he can also bring solid silver, of course Chen Zijian welcomes it, no one will drive the God of Wealth away.

Chen Zijian poured Su Lie full of tea, so frightened that Su Lie almost didn't sit still.

In Su Lie's eyes, Chen Zijian's status is higher than that of the head of the family, and now he actually pours him tea, it's just amazing.

Chen Zijian did things according to his own heart, but he didn't expect that his actions scared Su Lie enough, just like in the Su family, the head of the family poured tea for him, which was impossible.

Chen Zijian: "I don't need to be polite to anything, your Su family has helped me a lot, how many goods do you want to talk to Lao Zhang, today is to drink tea." ”

Su Lie carefully complimented him aside, even though Chen Zijian thought he was a very peaceful person, but in Su Lie's eyes, he was a different look.

Now the power controlled by the Volunteers can be said to be a prince in eastern Guangdong Province, a small "king", around such a person, happy and good, chatting with you, if you accidentally offend the avoidance, maybe it will be a disaster of death.

It didn't take long for Zhang Youde to push the door in, see Chen Zijian, and bow his hand.

"Lao Zhang, the affairs of the Su family are entrusted to you." Chen Zijian didn't bother to pay attention to the negotiation, anyway, Zhangjiacheng held the commanding heights, and he couldn't suffer a loss no matter how he talked.

Su Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Zijian put too much pressure on him, but fortunately, the deputy city lord came over, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

The corners of Zhang Youde's mouth rose, the Su family sent silver to Zhangjiacheng, of course they had to receive it.

"Steward Su, please take a seat, come to our Zhangjiacheng, and have a good taste of snacks, which was made by the chief himself. Now it has become a signature snack in Zhangjiacheng. ”

The so-called snack is the more famous rice noodles in eastern Guangdong Province in later generations, rice is ground into powder, made into rice milk, spread out, plus favorite minced meat, or eggs, etc., steamed with steam, plus a small amount of vegetable oil, soy sauce.

I don't dare to say it in other places, but in Zhangjiacheng, after the promotion of the rice noodles made by Chen Zijian, you can ascend to the elegant hall and go down to a snack for ordinary people.

Su Lie was curious to try it, whether it was true or not, he sincerely admired, "The city lord is really talented, it seems that the people of Zhangjiacheng have a good mouth." ”

Zhang Youde smiled and didn't speak.

Leaving the teahouse, Chen Zijian thought of what he had ordered before and took people there.

Some time ago, someone brought sweet potatoes to Chen Zijian, and after knowing that there were sweet potatoes in Zhangjiacheng, Chen Zijian notified him and found dozens of catties of sweet potatoes, all of which were brought by craftsmen from Dongguan.

After all, the yield of sweet potatoes has been verified in Dongguan, and the yield is much higher than that of rice, and it is not picky.

The craftsman in Dongguan was requisitioned to Chen Zijian, and the sweet potato was brought with him, and then he saw the information released by Chen Zijian, and there was the current thing in the future.

Chen Zijian asked people to open up a large area on the high ground and use it as a cultivation base for sweet potatoes.

There are no too many requirements for sweet potato planting, as long as there is a place to grow, and the advantage of planting in the mountains is that it does not need to occupy the planting area of rice. Make the most of your space.

Although it does not attach importance to agricultural production, it is also relatively speaking, the status of agriculture in Zhangjiacheng is much worse than that of personnel in other industries.

In addition, Zhou Hai recently opened a grain channel from Annan, and Chen Zijian's interest in growing grain on his own territory has greatly decreased.

However, sweet potatoes, as well as crops such as potatoes, belong to the existence of the sky, and Chen Zijian has to pay attention to it.

As for why he doesn't pay attention to rice, because Chen Zijian has no way to find a Yuan Lao, there is no way to get hybrid rice, and the rice planted now has an outrageous low yield.

Chen Zijian has learned that the yield of rice per mu is less than 200 catties now, which cannot be compared with the yield of 1,000 catties per mu in later generations.

At the sweet potato base, Chen Zijian specially ordered him to come down to breed sweet potatoes and asked Li Wenhua for help.

Li Wenhua was the first Dongguan native to send sweet potatoes to Chen Zijian, and now he has become the principal of the second primary school.

There were too many students in the original No. 1 Primary School, and the number of children going to school has greatly increased, and the number of primary schools has increased from one to 12 now.

Otherwise, all the children go to school, concentrated in one school, and don't know how much to squeeze in.

As for the establishment of the primary school, it is a simple matter for Chen Zijian, just let the staff of the Central Housing Bureau find a suitable place to build it, and with reinforced concrete concrete, the construction of a two-story teaching building can be done at any time.

At the sweet potato base, Chen Zijian came to see a thousand green oils, swaying in the wind on the hillside, and there were people bending over and busy with something not far away.

Chen Zijian got off the horse, picked up the sweet potato and took a look, the sweet potato was planted for less than a month, and the sweet potato was not much bigger than the egg.

The small is a little smaller, Chen Zijian did not dislike it, wiped the soil clean and put it in his mouth.

Chen Zijian's movements, the six guards who followed him were dumbfounded, and it was too late to stop them, after all, Chen Zijian, as the leader of the Volunteer Army, couldn't eat casually, especially what they hadn't seen.

"Chief, don't!"

Chen Zijian chewed the small sweet potato a few times, and the taste was familiar to later generations, that is, the taste of raw sweet potatoes was not very dripping.

"What? Wei. ”

Wu Weiguo's original name was Wu Dog, and he was Chen Zijian's personal guard and asked Chen Zijian to give him a new name.

Wu Weiguo: "Chief, I don't know what this is, I don't know if it will be poisonous, let's test the poison first!" ”

Chen Zijian waved his hand to signal to stop, "This is a sweet potato, it is not poisonous, do you understand the grain!" The yield of this thing per mu can reach more than 1,000 catties, and it is a life-saving straw in times of famine. ”

Several guards listened, their bodies trembled, Chen Zijian as the chief, since he said so, there was definitely no need to deceive them, thinking that this plant could be eaten, and the yield was so high, his head was short-circuited for a while.

"What are you doing, do you know that this is the lord's? Pull the sweet potato, do you want to be caught by the police! ”

The three people who were doing things saw Chen Zijian pulling sweet potatoes and came to warn, and when they saw people riding horses, they spoke a lot more politely, but they didn't look good about Chen Zijian's sweet potatoes.

Zhangjiacheng has a population of more than one million, not everyone has seen Chen Zijian's face, and the three people who came over obviously didn't know that the city lord they said was right in front of them.

Chen Zijian smiled and saw the sweet potato leaves picked by the three of them in the basket, "Buy me your sweet potato leaves, this is your reward." ”

After saying that, he gave a piece of silver and left.

Sweet potato leaves are not worth a few coins, but Chen Zijian is happy, it doesn't matter, sweet potato leaves can be eaten as vegetables.

After Chen Zijian left, the remaining two guards packed up the sweet potato leaves that Chen Zijian wanted, and one of the bold people asked, "Master Jun, who is that adult?" ”

Wu Weiguo said strangely, "He is the chief, haven't you seen it?" ”

The remaining three people were messy in the wind, stunned as they looked at the place where their backs had disappeared.

"Husband, I'm back."

After Xiao Tao became Chen Zijian's woman, her status rose directly to the status of the hostess, which made the maids envious.

"Well, don't go to the show!"

touched Xiao Tao's delicate waist, which made Xiao Tao's eyebrows emotional.

can make Chen Zijian a woman, and her appearance is naturally not bad.

"Hehe, find a good thing today and make it for you to taste."

What Chen Zijian said was the sweet potato leaves he bought just now. As a dignified city lord, there is no one to make sweet potato leaves by himself!

Sweet potatoes in Dongguan did not spread quickly, in addition to the slow transmission of news in recent years, that is, the government did not pay attention to it.

Sweet potatoes should be quickly promoted in Zhangjiacheng, and Chen Zijian took the lead in planting and eating, and promoting them from top to bottom is undoubtedly the fastest way. It can quickly be accepted by the people of Zhangjiacheng. The reason is very simple, the sweet potatoes that the city lord eats, can't your people eat them?

Sweet potato Chen Zijian planted a small hill, the area is not large, but after the first batch of harvest, the seedlings will be much faster, and the sweet potato can be planted with only one stem.
