Chapter 52: Five Hundred Acres

"How many days to stay? How many workshops does he want to go to? ”

After listening to Wang Pu's words, Li Yuanjia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

Want to stay for a few days and see the workshop?

What a good thing!

Although Li Yuanjia is not going to say that the whole world is begging others to learn papermaking, or to learn movable type printing or something, he has never thought of hiding these technologies firmly!

Now it's hard to get one, and it's a historical celebrity like Zhang Cambodia, how can you not be happy?

"This ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Pu said with a wry smile: "Back to the king's words, this little Langjun ...... How so? I was a little too greedy and told me I wanted to go around every workshop, and it would be better to be able to stay in each place for a few days! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing him say this, Li Yuanjia's eyes instantly brightened.

But Wang Pu didn't notice this, and continued: "Wang, if you want to talk about other places, such as movable type printing, Chen Mu's carpenter workshop, and Zhang Wan and Sun Zhan, there is no problem, but ...... Our paper workshop, as well as Li Zhong's place where they make movable type, I think I still refuse him......"

"Refuse? Why declined? ”

Li Yuanjia immediately raised his eyebrows, and said with some displeasure: "How many times have I told you, just these workshops in our house...... Ahem, except that outsiders are not allowed to enter the glass workshop, and those craftsmen are not allowed to go out at will, whoever wants to come and see it can look at it casually! I mean, why are your brains so rigid, huh? ”

“…… Be. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Wang Pu was very unwilling to answer.

And as soon as he saw his little expression, Li Yuanjia immediately understood Wang Pu's thoughts at this time, and suddenly couldn't help but turn dark.

But after hesitating for a moment, he could only sigh secretly.

If you ask yourself, you can't blame anyone.

In fact, if it weren't for a good tire in this life, the status of a top prince as soon as he was on the list, and the kind that didn't worry about eating and drinking all his life, Li Yuanjia would definitely look at every one of his industries firmly...... Maybe it won't be so rigid, and I'll do my best to promote it in the future, but I definitely won't want someone to learn from it like I do now.

In the final analysis, the identity of the prince gave him too much confidence.

Even if the current family business is suddenly lost by Li Yuanjia, the fields under his name, as well as the fields that belong to him, can still allow him to enjoy the top life in the Tang Dynasty. That's why Li Yuanjia will invest in movable type printing, even if he knows that this thing is very difficult, he is still unwilling to give up; So even though Han Wang Paper is already the first in the world, Li Yuanjia is still not satisfied, and still invests a lot of money every month to let Wang Pu and them toss more cheap bamboo paper......

"It's not right to ask Wang Pu to ask them with his own way of thinking!"

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia naturally calmed down, and said lightly: "Okay, this matter is so decided, as long as Zhang Cambodia wants to see and learn, you can take him with you!" Except for the glass workshop, you teach him whatever he wants to know, understand? ”

"Understood, King."

After taking a deep breath, Wang Pu nodded vigorously.

After following Li Yuanjia for so many years, Wang Pu is now used to it, although he can't help but be a little reluctant, but he also knows that the king's decision cannot be changed because of himself. So since you can't stop it, you can only do it.

At least for the current Wang Pu, it is impossible to give up everything now.

Maybe a little younger, he would have some other thoughts, such as leaving the position of "craftsman steward" that he still feels ashamed of. But now, the income of dozens of times a year, the affluent life that is several times better than that of his former classmates, and the satisfaction of completing an improvement every time, make Wang Pu unable to change......

……

With Li Yuanjia's identity and status, although there are very few people who can restrain him, after all, he is in Chang'an, so it is not very easy to come out.

So since he came outside the city, Li Yuanjia will definitely not go home immediately.

And......

"After careful weighing, this year's cotton production is a little more."

After saluting, Sun Zhan smiled innocently and said a little restrainedly: "To be precise, it should be sixty catties more lint than last year, which is enough to make ten quilts!" ”

“……”

Looking at Sun Zhan with a satisfied face, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth twitched twice, and he was speechless.

Sixty pounds......

That's a hundred acres of land!

One hundred acres of good fertile land was used to grow cotton, and so many people were busy for a few months, and they collected 60 catties of lint...... Only six taels more than one acre of land were collected?

If it weren't for the good enough control, Li Yuanjia would have wanted to roll his eyes directly.

But looking at Sun Zhan's tanned face, and then looking at his hands that were as rough as an old farmer, Li Yuanjia resisted his impulse, sighed secretly and nodded lightly: "Well, not bad...... Go back and find Han Lucheng to receive twenty times of reward, you are ten, and others are ten! ”

To be honest, it's a little distressing.

Although in Li Yuanjia's impression, this kid has always been the most "honest" and the most "unpromising" among several people, but I have to say that there is really no one more suitable for planting cotton than Sun Zhan.

Li Zhong and Ma Liang are a few of them, I'm afraid they may not really do better than him.

And six taels per acre of land is okay!

In the future, how many catties of cotton can be produced per acre of land, Li Yuanjia is not very clear, because he does not understand farming. But one thing is certain, cotton seeds that have not been cultivated in this era, the yield is not high, and now if the output is increased by six taels a year, the increase is already considerable.

In Li Yuanjia's mind, the importance of cotton is really no worse than that of movable type printing and paper workshops, and in a sense it is even stronger. So it is conceivable how important Sun Zhan's work is, and why should he be stingy with a reward of 20 yuan?

The left and right are just a matter of a few cards, and Li Yuanjia naturally has no reason to hesitate.

“…… Thank you, King! ”

Slightly stunned, Sun Zhan hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Alright, get up."

Waving his hand, Li Yuanjia said softly: "This cotton harvest has been a while now, have the cotton seeds been taken off and preserved?" ”

"If you go back to the king, you are ready."

Licking his lips, Sun Zhan nodded and said, "The cotton was all dried yesterday, just waiting for you to go back, we will send the cotton to Chang'an City together...... You can rest assured that the seeds have been properly placed. ”

"Hmm!"

After nodding, Li Yuanjia's eyes narrowed slightly.

He began to be stunned, and Sun Zhan and the others didn't dare to disturb, just stood quietly with their hands down, waiting for Li Yuanjia to speak.

After a long while, Li Yuanjia finally took a long breath and said, "Sun Zhan, get ready, next year I will give you 500 acres of land, all of which will be planted with cotton for me......"
