Shoot the breeze

"Ahem, Luo Cong asked them if they had dug up all the potatoes."

"Yes." Luo Cong, who was standing on the side of the guard, asked with a gun.

Wang Zezhi didn't want to explain the corruption of court officials to Song Tongyin, so he diverted the topic.

"My lord, try these two dishes, come on, come on."

Wang Zezhi pointed to shredded potatoes and fried potato chips, and motioned for Song Tongyin to taste them.

Song Tongyin no longer cautiously tempted, but directly took a big chopstick and took a bite.

"Well, good, smooth and sour."

"Eat this again, crunchy." Wang Zezhi motioned to Song Tongyin to finish eating shredded potatoes and then take a bite of fried potato chips.

"Okay."

Song Tongyin was not polite, and directly took a slice and ate it.

"Well, crispy, good, good, good."

Song Tongyin said three good things in a row.

Wei Yunzhong, who was on the side, no longer waited, and directly moved his chopsticks to eat.

"Hey, who would have thought that the three dishes with different flavors were all made of potatoes."

Wei Yunzhong said incredulously after eating.

"I just don't know how much this thing is produced."

Song Tongyin said with anticipation.

"There's an answer right away." Wang Zezhi looked up at Luo Cong, who was walking from the C field, and stood up.

"My lord, it's all counted, this is the number." Luo Cong handed over a piece of paper with both hands, and counted the numbers on it.

"Hmm." Wang Zezhi took a look, and the yield per mu in the No. 1 field was the highest, and the yield per mu in the No. 2 field was the lowest.

At each grade, a field that has been fertilized will always have a higher yield than a field that has not been fertilized.

"Your Excellency, please take a look." After reading it, Wang Zezhi presented the statistics sheet with both hands and handed it to Song Tongyin.

Song Tongyin took the statistics sheet and looked at it seriously.

The more Song Tongyin looked down, the more his brows furrowed.

"Hey, how is this C-shaped No. 2 field only three hundred and ninety-seven city catties?"

Song Tongyin asked puzzled, Wei Yunzhong on the side probed his brain curiously, and Song Tongyin handed him this statistical sheet.

"Adults don't know, the fields in the hands of the people are not fertile, let's say our Taiyuan Mansion, many people's fields are in this mountain, around the loess mountain step by step, these fields because of the lack of water, most of them are not fertile.

In addition, not every household has ploughing cattle, without ploughing cattle there is no cow dung, without cow dung there is no way to fertilize, and the land will become more and more barren year by year if it is not fertilized.

Therefore, this No. 2 field was planted according to the real field in the hands of the people.

This is also the real yield of potatoes after they reach the hands of the people. ”

Wang Zezhi saluted Song Tongyin and explained seriously.

"Hey..."

Song Tongyin sighed and didn't say anything, because he knew that what Wang Zezhi said was the truth.

"The yield of one mu and two stones is already higher than the yield of buckwheat and wheat.

Wei Yunzhong proposed.

"No, this matter is a big matter, and it can only be discussed in the long run, and it cannot be decided lightly."

Before Wei Yunzhong could finish speaking, Song Tongyin suddenly interrupted him sharply.

Wang Zezhi and Wei Yunzhong looked at him puzzled at the same time, the two of them didn't understand why such a thing that benefited the country and the people couldn't be given to the emperor, and the emperor ordered it to be promoted throughout the country.

"Hey, you guys, think about it carefully, if the court collects the land according to the yield of 2,000 catties per mu, what should the people do?"

Song Tongyin said helplessly.

Speaking of this, Song Tongyin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Certain officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee are engaged in crumbling and embezzlement, and an extremely bad atmosphere has been formed.

It's not something they can contend with.

After listening to Song Tongyin's words, Wang Zezhi struck a spirit, and instantly thought of the terrible consequences caused by this situation.

If the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China had levied land on the basis of 2,000 catties per mu, regardless of the fertility of the land, potatoes would not only not have become a blessing to the people, but would also become a disaster.

"What your lord says is very true." Wang Zezhi really bowed to Song Tongyin.

Song Tongyin can think of this for the people, and he deserves Wang Zezhi's bow.

"The official has decided that the official will try to plant in Binh Duong Province, where the land is fertile, and try the effect first, and as for all the consequences caused by this, the official will bear it with all his might.

Dare to ask General Wang, when and how can this thing be sown? ”

"The time and method of planting are all old farmers who inquired about the last general, and these old farmers were found by the last general from the south.

If the planting time provided by the old farmer is followed, the harvest will not be harvested until this time.

However, this planting time is the planting time in the south, and it will be estimated that it is best to plant in early August, and if it is planted in early August, then it will be harvested in December.

If the adults need it, they can lend a few old farmers to the adults. ”

"That's great, but where does this come from?"

"My lord, the seeds can only be purchased from the south, and the last general has already sent people to the south to buy them, and when they come back, the last general will give some to the adults, I don't know how much the adults want."

"Then prepare seeds for 100,000 acres of fertile land for this official."

"Okay."

Wang Zezhi agreed to what Song Tongyin said without thinking about it, because Song Tongyin is different from those corrupt officials in the court, he is a person who sincerely wants to do things for the people.

"If the trial is successful, this official will definitely ask for credit for General Wang."

"The last general will not dare to take credit."

"Hey, you're out there, you brought this thing back to Shanxi, and you were the first to plant it, so you deserve it.

This dish is not finished yet, if only there could be a pot of wine. ”

Song Tongyin looked at the dishes on the stone table and said with some pity.

"There must be wine, Xiao Sun will bring the wine." Wang Zezhi shouted at the cook.

The cook's surname is Sun, and he is the best person selected by Wang Zezhi from the logistics staff, he not only has first-class knife skills, but also is very exciting.

"Come on."

The cook brought a bottle of high-quality rice wine, brought three cups, filled the three of them with wine, and stood quietly aside with the wine bottle, ready to add wine to the three of them at any time.

"Now the three of us are here to witness the production of potatoes, and we should have a drink together."

Song Tongyin raised his glass, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank together.

Then the three of them just chatted without a word.

Song Tongyin talked about the fact that he ran to kill the tiger's mouth to find Wang Zezhi on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and it turned out that a merchant outside the Saiwai betrayed his whereabouts.

Otherwise, Song Tongyin may not be able to know where Wang Zezhi is.

Originally, Wang Zezhi was still very vigilant about Song Tongyin being able to know his whereabouts, but at this moment, he was relieved to hear Song Tongyin say this matter in person, he thought that Song Tongyin had infiltrated his team.

Wei Yunzhong is a drinker, and when no one toasts him, he drinks by himself, and as soon as he finishes drinking, he motions to the cook to add wine.

At the moment he felt a little drunk.

"Brother, you are a very bad person, you cheated those properties from me, and then came back to earn the silver in my hands, and it was very bad..."

Wei Yunzhong was talking about the seventy-four gentry industries, and indeed, Wang Zezhi had already been fighting the idea of those industries.

It happened that Wei Yunzhong was short of money, so he wrote a detailed explanation of the loan, and he was telling Wei Yunzhong openly and secretly that it was okay to take loans from these properties.

After Wang Zezhi took over these industries, he immediately operated the timber factory and stone factory.

Because he knew that Wei Yunzhong was going to repair the camp, city walls, piers, forts, and villages.

So the silver that Wei Yunzhong borrowed from Wang Zezhi finally returned to his hands.
