After hearing this, Han Feng nodded: "Since Master Zhuang has three battalions of military horses and thousands of people, and all they eat is the food and salary of the imperial court, right now the south is peaceful, there is no war, no turmoil, and the army has no war to fight, these people are not idle, why don't they let them come and help farm together?" ”

Lord Zhuang was taken aback when he heard this, more than 1,000 people under his hands are eating the country's food, and they are indeed idle at the moment, pulling the army to farm the land, this idea is really brilliant enough, and the manpower is not worried, but do this? Will it exceed the system, the army of the Ming Dynasty has a certain system, even if it is the governor of the prefect, there is no way to exceed these regulations, and there is no such precedent in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Lord Zhuang's brows tightened again, and he sighed: "Han Gongzi, what you said is indeed a way, but some things in the officialdom are not as simple as you think, although I am the prefect of a city, but there is still a commander in Hangzhou at the moment, although I can command him nominally, but the actual military power is in his hands, and thousands of soldiers and horses are also listening to his orders." At this moment, it is estimated that it is not easy to rashly let the soldiers under his command go to farm. ”

"What's the concern?" Han Feng felt that none of this was a problem: "No matter how much he jumps, you don't need to be afraid of him, after all, at this juncture, if he still insists on not conscripting, wouldn't he be able to push the famine on his head logically?" ”

Han Feng didn't finish his words, he glanced at Lao Zhuang halfway through speaking, Lao Zhuang was a smart person, and immediately understood what Han Feng meant, that is, no matter how bad it is, this governor can become the blame for this famine, this old fox has been trapped in officialdom for many years, so he naturally understands the pros and cons, and nodded, but he is still a little worried: "But there is no precedent in history......"

"My lord, this is because your book is not very clever, in history, the Shennong clan was also the master, and Cao Cao, the Emperor of Wei Wu, when he was in Shandong, he farmed with the people, these are all precedents, how can it be said that there is no precedent?"

Zhuang Zhong nodded, what Han Feng said also made sense, precedent, these don't matter, at this moment, as long as the soldiers and horses can be transferred from the governor's hands, it is the right matter, so he said: "In this way, I will go to the commander to give an order first, and at the same time, I need to report to the imperial court, and by the way, report to the governor, and also report to the imperial court." ”

Han Feng nodded, this guy is really an old fox, he doesn't leak anything, he can't be offended, he is thorough, after Lord Zhuang finished speaking, he was still a little worried: "But even so, there is no way to solve the problem from the root." ”

"What do you think is the root cause of the problem?"

"Silver!" This Lao Zhuang spoke really directly, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at his son of a loser, and Xiao Zhuang shrank in fright, and said in his heart: "What did I do to me again?" ”

However, this little Zhuang Gongzi soaked in the night game of Qinglou every day, and he must have spent a lot of money in the family, and it was not a loss for Lao Zhuang to glare at him when he said this, Han Feng shook his head: "Lord Zhuang, I don't think the problem is silver anymore, but in technology, it's like the current climate is not good, not suitable for farming, if there is good technology, then it will solve the problem from the root, why bother so much?" ”

Master Zhuang nodded: "What Han Gongzi said is right, but where is there a way to grow food in such a climate, in my opinion, the problem now is still in the silver, this year's harvest is not good, so you need to spend silver to subsidize the people, so that the people at least have something to eat in winter." ”

"What if the weather isn't so good next year?" Han Feng asked rhetorically, "Do you want to continue to make up for it with silver?" Master Zhuang shook his head confidently: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, Hangzhou is the heart of my Ming Dynasty, the land of fish and rice, this year is really catching up, and the harvest in previous years was very good." ”

Han Feng sighed secretly: This old Zhuang is also a person who admits death, seeing that the Xiaoice River Century is coming, the temperature change is very normal, who can guarantee that the harvest next year will be good? So he smiled bitterly and said: "I mean, if, after all, everything is in the sky, if the harvest is not good, then what does Lord Zhuang think is good, you can't throw silver into it every year, where does so much silver come from?" ”

"This ......" After Lao Zhuang heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, then the tax must be raised." "When it comes to raising taxes, the old fox's eyes are shining.

Gan, Lao Tzu is now in business, and he still runs a restaurant, if you raise taxes, then I can't live, this old boy is so poor that he starts to beat my restaurant idea?

Han Feng continued to say with a professional smirk on his face: "My lord, in fact, we don't necessarily need to raise taxes, we just need a new technology, Hangzhou's land is fertile, if vegetables and fruits can be grown in the bad season, then wouldn't the people be saved, and in the same way, wouldn't there be more products in Hangzhou every year?" ”

The implication is that these are all the merits of your old village!

After hearing this, Lao Zhuang said in disbelief: "Is there really such a technology? ”

"Not now!" Han Feng smiled bitterly, what he was thinking about now was the popular greenhouse technology in later generations, his hometown had used to engage in greenhouses, but how to operate this greenhouse planting, he was really a little unclear, and he needed to recall it, but he knew that once the experiment was successful, it would really solve the food problem of this era, at least it could be regarded as a good thing for history.

Han Feng's words once again made Lao Zhuang's heart cool and cold, and after talking for a long time, Bai was excited, the feeling is that you kid is in YY, but it's also right, the three emperors and five emperors have been unified by the Ming Dynasty now, thousands of years have passed, such a technology is unheard of, is there really such a technology as Han Feng said?

Lao Zhuang gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, in my opinion, it is better to raise taxes, although this will cause infamy, but at least the people will not suffer this winter." ”

Although Han Feng despises Lao Zhuang's concept of raising taxes, he has to say that Lao Zhuang is really a good official, and the pressure to rashly raise taxes is great, the slander in the court, and the complaints and rumors of the merchants, these are all suffering, but looking at Lao Zhuang's resolute appearance, Han Feng also knows that this official is really not easy to do.

"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future." Han Feng said with a smile, Lao Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard it, and asked, "Is there a good plan?" ”

Han Feng found a brush, drew a brush on the paper, roughly spent the prototype of a greenhouse, Han Feng said to Lao Zhuang: "Lord Zhuang, look, this is the prototype of the new planting technology I told you, which is called a greenhouse in our place, wrapped in glazed material, can absorb sunlight well, resist the cold, and indoor heating can make plants grow well, if you use such technology to plant, even if it is a cold season, if you want to eat a bite of ready-made watermelon, I think it's okay." ”

Eat watermelon in winter? In this era, it is a complete fool's dream, although Lord Zhuang didn't believe it in his heart, but he was stunned when he heard what Han Feng said, and he actually believed it for a while, his eyes flashed with light, greenhouse planting, this idea sounds real, at least in theory, it sounds reliable! But to say that watermelons can be grown in winter, Lao Zhuang still has some doubts, how to grow watermelons in winter?

When the two were chatting about the greenhouse, Zhuang Ningning on the side came over with a teacup and a rice bowl, put a bowl of rice in front of Han Feng, and said with a smile: "Dad, Brother Han, you all said that you are tired, eat something and take a rest." ”

Han Feng looked at the white rice in front of him, and thought to himself, you old fox thief spirit don't say anything, you still swoosh, you gave you such a big idea, you just invite me to eat this, white rice? This is even more chilling than what I ate in Shangguan Mansion, saying that the dining room has changed cooks recently, and the craftsmanship is not good, and I haven't eaten fragrant chicken thighs for a long time.

Naturally, seeing Han Feng's puzzlement, Zhuang Ningning said with a smile: "Brother Han, this is the rice that my father recently planted with the people, you must taste it." ”

With Han Feng's greenhouse plan, now Master Zhuang is in a good mood, although he is not sure whether the greenhouse can be successful, but at least he is no longer like a headless fly who has no idea at all, picked up the rice bowl, recently led the people to farm, busy with sweat, hungry his big belly growled, and said with a smile: "Han Gongzi, you must taste the fruits of the old man." ”

Rice grown by the prefect? Han Feng looked at the rice bowl in his hand, smiled bitterly for a while, and took a bite, the rice still tastes like rice, and it is not because it is grown by the prefect that he can eat the taste of chicken legs, but Han Feng still touted it commercially: "The rice grown by the prefect tastes great." ”

Lao Zhuang was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Haha, Han Gongzi has won the prize." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhuang Ningning: "Ningning, this time, Han Gongzi has given me a good idea." ”

"Really?" In fact, Zhuang Ningning had been listening to the side, but because they were standing too far away, the two of them were mysterious, and they didn't know what they said, so they took the opportunity to come over and hear the news.

"Brother Han really learned to be rich and five cars."

How can this little girl be more commercially touted than Lao Tzu? So Han Feng smiled bitterly and pretended not to hear and ate the rice in the bowl.

This little trick to make money by himself was actually taken away by this old fox who talked to Bai Piao today, Gan, it's really a bit of a loss, I blame myself for being too soft-hearted, I originally wanted to count on this old fox to give me a little benefit, so that I can do business in the future, but I didn't expect to be pitted by this old fox.

Since you cheat me on the way to make money, then I will cheat your daughter.

Han Feng made up his mind in his heart, glanced at Zhuang Ningning, and said with a smile: "Master Zhuang gave birth to a good daughter, who is beautiful and smart. I don't know how many people are envious. ”

Han Feng's sudden praise made Zhuang Ningning blush for a while, and said with a shy face: "Why did Brother Han suddenly say that. ”

Master Zhuang was in a good mood at the moment: "Han Gongzi is serious, the little girl really can't stand your praise like this, but Han Gongzi is a talent, which makes the old man envious." ”

Zhuang Ningning glanced at Han Feng indignantly, what the hell is this guy doing, why did he suddenly start seriously, but what he is worried about now is the problem of this year's harvest, so he asked: "Daddy, you just said that Brother Han has thought of a good plan for you, I don't know what the solution is." ”

Lao Zhuang picked up the drawings on the table and handed them to Zhuang Ningning, Zhuang Ningning took them, looked at the messy graffiti, and asked a little puzzled: "What is this?" ”

"Greenhouse." Master Zhuang really listened very carefully, and was able to explain the principle to Zhuang Ningning word for word, Han Feng had to admire the ability of the ancients to endorse.

Zhuang Ningning was obedient, and she was also surprised, such a bold idea was really thought up by Brother Han, and in terms of principle, it could indeed be implemented, but she was also a little hesitant: "This ...... Is it really possible? ”
