Xue Rengui groaned and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, do this...... Isn't that right? ”

Fang Jun's eyes were crossed, and he said unhappily: "What's wrong?" A certain inexplicably suffered a breath, is it difficult to achieve it because he is a prince, so he can't swallow it raw? Xue Rengui, where are you from? ”

Xue Rengui sweated profusely and said busily: "Master Hou misunderstood, the last general just thought that it didn't hurt or itch like this, and it didn't make any sense, either he didn't do it, he had to make it bigger, and he had to let people know that it hurt, so that he could get angry, right?" ”

Fang Jun: "......"

!

Xue Rengui, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, you are more ruthless than Lao Tzu!

"Okay, you can discuss it, as long as you don't catch someone else, and deal with it yourself."

"Whoa!"

Fang Jun turned over and got on his horse, ran back to the city, and went to the yamen of the military department, and called Guo Fushan, Cui Dunli, Liu Zheng and others to the room, and ordered: "This official has just entered the palace to meet His Majesty, and I will advise Your Majesty to reward the meritorious soldiers who crossed the ocean and brought back grain seeds this time, and Your Majesty orders the military department to act at its discretion." This official thinks that the soldiers who went to sea this time are all meritorious and promoted, and the soldiers who died in battle still have to be generously compensated. ”

The sailor has the name of the royal family, but the generals are still registered in the military department, and the existence of the army outside the system will never be allowed in the Tang Dynasty, which is the bottom line, which cannot be violated, and even the emperor cannot change it. However, in the end, it is a special status, and the Ministry of War will not interfere in its selection of rewards and punishments without authorization, the emperor has no objection, Fang Jun personally suggested, who would be stupid to object?

But Le Shi's work is different.

"Fang Shilang, the matter of Leshi Remembering Gong still needs a lot of attention. Xia Guan believes that those seeds must be very precious and important, but now after all, the effect has not yet appeared, and we trust Fang Shilang, and the outside world may not be like this. Le Shi Gong is a big thing, that is to be praised through the ages, the merit is not shown before rashly, it will inevitably provoke public opinion, and such a start, if others have the same in the future, trivial things also come out of the Stone Memory, will not become a laughing stock for the ages? Since Fang Shilang firmly believes that those seeds are high-yield food, he might as well wait until the merits are significant, and it will naturally come to fruition. ”

Guo Fushan is calmer in the end, and thinks that Fang Jun should not be so rash and cause criticism, which is also a trouble.

Fang Jun thought about it and felt that it made sense.

In his opinion, this incident is enough to remember the merits and mark the history, and it is not an exaggeration to publicize it. But just now, His Majesty Li Er's attitude in the palace was obviously disapproving, and he hurriedly made such a big move on his side, in case the emperor thought that he was resentful, it would not be beautiful.

In this case, he had the right to endure it, and when the corn and potatoes were cultivated, the world was naturally shocked, and then he vigorously publicized the matter, which was enough to cause a wave of sea-crossing exploration.

Thinking in his heart, he bowed his head and said: "Guo Shilang is an old man's words, but the official is a little abrupt. In this case, it is necessary to reward meritorious service only within the military department, especially the compensation of the fallen soldiers, and it is necessary to be serious and fast, which is related to the morale of the sailors, and must not be careless. ”

He is the left squire of the Ministry of War, the de facto number one, and the Royal Sailor is under his command, and the left and right are all matters within the authority of the Ministry of War, who would object to such a trivial matter?

Naturally, everyone hurriedly agreed.

Fang Jun got up and said, "In the next few days, this official will be stationed in Lishan and gather the officials of Sinong Temple and the experienced old farmers near Guanzhong to cultivate high-yield grain. As soon as the affairs of the government office should be in charge, Guo Shilang will be in charge, and everyone will work together to do a good job in the dispatch and transportation of grain, straw and ordnance, so as not to delay the eastward expedition in next spring. If there is a major matter that cannot be decided, you can send someone to Lishan to find me and discuss it again. ”

All the officers were taken aback.

Up and down the Tang Dynasty, inside and outside the government and the opposition, who doesn't know that the Eastern Crusade of Ming Spring is a national battle?

Although the military department does not have the right to dispatch troops, the logistics affairs are still heavy, and the leisure should not be neglected, otherwise if there is a little omission, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the emperor will blame it, and no one will have to eat and go around.

However, looking at Fang Jun's posture, is this going to delegate power to a group of subordinates?

But if you are an official, there is no one who does not aspire to power, if it is placed in Pingsu, Fang Jun delegates power like this, everyone is naturally happy, but at this juncture, this approach seems a little weird......

But no matter how much they want to break their heads, how can they guess that it is actually Fang Jun who is angry with the emperor again?

After arranging the affairs of the yamen, Fang Jun got up and rushed to the field to wait for the soldiers and said: "Let's go, go to Lishan with a certain person to rest, there are some houses over there, wait until the body and bones are raised, and then return to Huating Town to return to the water division to take up the post, then each official will be promoted to the third level, and the ancestors will be glorified!" ”

"Whoa!"

A group of sailors and soldiers who have gone through hardships and are accustomed to life and death crawled out of the choppy sea, each with their heads held high, and their morale was high!

Out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Fang Jun led his own soldiers to step on the war horse, and the wounded soldiers took a carriage, all the way out of the city from the Chunming Gate, crossed the Baqiao, and walked all the way along the official road to Xinfeng, and when they arrived at the foot of Lishan Mountain, they turned into the cement-paved mountain road and came to Lishan Farm.

After the soldiers were settled, he summoned the old crops in the village and ordered: "All the greenhouses of my family should be cut down at once from now on, and the land will be loosened and leveled, and later a certain number of ridge forming methods will be instructed, and we will wait for the planting of high-yield crops." ”

Lu Cheng, the old steward in Zhuangzi, said distressedly: "Erlang, the melons and fruits in the greenhouse have bloomed now, and they will be able to be picked and marketed in less than two months. ”

It was a cold winter, the melons, fruits and vegetables planted in the greenhouse of Fangjia Farm were the most popular among the nobles of Chang'an, the price was jaw-dropping, there were hundreds of greenhouses of all sizes in the farm, at least tens of thousands of incomes, this is not a small amount, no wonder the old steward Lu Cheng was distressed.

No matter how rich the Fang family is, they can't stand such a mess!

Fang Jun was relieved: "You don't have to worry about those small profits, these seeds are all high-yield crops, and if they are cultivated one day earlier, they will be able to be promoted throughout the Tang Dynasty one day earlier, so that more hungry people will be starved for one less day, and how many people who are about to starve to death will be saved?" This is a supreme merit, and no matter how much money is lost at the moment, it must not be delayed. ”

When Lu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

He knew that his Erlang seemed to be messing around, and he had a reputation as a "mallet" outside, but when he was serious, he never made a mistake.

When even the villagers, tenants and domestic slaves in the Zhuangzi were led to remove all the fruit trees and vegetables that had been planted so hard one by one in the greenhouses, the eyes of the merchants and vendors who came to the Zhuangzi were about to fall, and they came forward to see the excitement.

Greenhouse planting technology has existed since ancient times.

But it was precisely after Fang Jun's improvement that this technology, which was originally monopolized by the royal family, spread among the people, and the out-of-season vegetables and fruits in winter made the princes and nobles rush to it, giving birth to a very profitable industry.

No matter how the greenhouse planting technology spreads, Fangjia is still recognized as authentic, and hundreds of greenhouses produce vegetables and fruits every year in short supply. Seeing that these fruit trees and vegetables that had been planted with great difficulty were all uprooted, I couldn't help but marvel at Fang Erlang's courage.

You need to know that this is not a matter of tens of thousands of dollars a year, these fruit trees can be planted for more than ten years, how much money is lost at this time?

However, this is not over, and then Fang Jun dropped a battalion of elite soldiers from the right guard, drove all the traders out of the range of Lishan Farm, and sent people to post notices on the path up the mountain.

Seeing the soldiers in bright armor and carrying horizontal swords blocking the mountain road with a fierce attitude, the driven traders suddenly made a loud noise.

"Have you heard of that? The sailor has discovered high-yield grain from overseas, and Fang Erlang is planning to cultivate it! ”

"Then why lock off half the mountain?"

"What you said is that it's winter, and it's freezing on this day, if someone smashes the glass of the greenhouse, won't all the crops in the shed have to freeze to death?"

"But even so, isn't that what Sinong Temple should do?"

"Hey! Do you expect the officials and men of Sinong Temple to do this all day long with the Four Books and Five Classics? ”

"Fang Erlang can study this greenhouse planting method, I don't know hundreds of times stronger than those officials of Sinong Temple, you look at it, what can make Fang Erlang so attentive is definitely not an ordinary crop, if it can really increase food production, I don't know how many people in the world will benefit from it!"

Just when the people and traders were complaining to each other, Yin Yue, who had just succeeded Si Nongqing, came to Lishan Farm, listened to the discussion of the people on the side of the road, and suddenly turned black.
