Chapter 137: The Baron

"Is there such a thing?" Wei Zheng was shocked, even if the vast number of peasants who had experienced the locust plague had time to plant for the second time, they could see with their own eyes that the locusts had eaten up all their seedlings, and who would dare to take such a big risk, and who would be willing to give them grain as seeds for them to plant.

"Lord Wei, when the boy recruited the first farmer, he first gave him enough seeds to plant at home, if there is still a locust plague, the loss will be counted on the boy's head, and then the boy asked the farmer to do three months of work for me, three months is the period of seedling growth, farming is the most idle time, when they are in my house after three months, just go home to serve the seedlings, if the time is early, after the autumn and before the winter, there should be some output, even if it will not produce too much, It will not make their family hungry, and the boy thinks it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. ”

Jia Yi respectfully told Wei Zheng his thoughts thoroughly, and directly let him stay where he was, just after the locust plague ended, he asked the farmers to continue planting, whether Jia Yi knew everything about the occurrence of the locust plague or was hitting the luck, which made Wei Zheng's heart rise a lot of waves.

If Jia Yi said that these things are just hitting the luck, then this will undoubtedly be a big gamble, if Jia Yi has a good understanding of the law of the occurrence of this locust plague, then what Jia Yi has in his head will be able to benefit the world.

"Do you know anything about the plague of locusts?"

Looking at the trembling Wei Zheng, Jia Yi really didn't want to hit him, so he had to honestly talk about the cycle of locusts from egg laying to hatching and then to growth, which made Wei Zheng excited and difficult to add, as long as he had this information, I believe that the prevention of locust plagues in the future will become a lot simpler.

Li Er didn't speak, just sat on the dragon chair and looked at Jia Yi and Wei Zheng, the two of them explained their reasoning to each other, knowing that Jia Yi said Wei Zheng speechless, then he said softly: "Jia Yi, you created the art of stir-frying, so that there is an extra food in the world, although it is insignificant, but it is also a major event in the future, and then created the art of salt making, which is a great contribution to solving the lack of salt in the interior. I have played a pivotal role in the stability and prosperity of my Datang, and after I have thought about it deeply, I decided to crown you as the male of Duqu County, and the back cover is your 800-mile river beach, what do you think? ”

Finally waited, the eight hundred miles back cover Jia had been looking forward to it for a long time, and now he finally heard the words he wanted to hear most from the emperor's mouth, and he immediately knelt on the ground excitedly and thanked the saint.

With these 800 acres of fiefdom, all the construction activities carried out by Jia Yi on the river beach will be justified, and he will no longer have to worry about the sudden unfavorable situation.

And he was named Duqu County male, although it is only the lowest title, from today onwards, Jia Yi can be regarded as officially becoming a member of the Tang Dynasty nobles.

The little baron couldn't let many bigwigs in the court congratulate Jia Yi, only Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yanjin and others smiled at Jia Yi and nodded, even if it was congratulations.

"Jia Yi, I still have a problem here, you can see if you have any good solutions."

"Your Majesty, please general, the minister will do his best to conceive a good prescription for Your Majesty."

"The army will soon leave for the Turks, but our treasury is empty, and it is really difficult to allocate enough food and pay to go with the army."

Under normal circumstances, when a large army goes out to fight, it will basically bring a part of the salary, on the one hand, so that the soldiers can see the real money and have the strength to fight, and on the other hand, it is also to appease the soldiers' military morale, so as to avoid the trouble of mutiny or something because of the arrears of food and salary.

Jia Yi just thought about it for a moment, and then came up with a solution.

"Your Majesty, the food and salary can be sent to the home, and there is no need to go with the army, and then you only need to let the family rest and leave the soldiers."

To put it bluntly, that is, the military funds are not pulled to the battlefield and issued to the big soldiers, but directly in the rear, by a special person to make statistics and then send them to each soldier's home, anyway, these soldiers go out to be soldiers in order to pay the military salary, so that they can come back to honor their parents, so that not only can they avoid the trouble of transporting food and salary, but also let their relatives at home enjoy the benefits of military pay for the first time.

Jia Yi's method is just a preliminary idea, as for how to implement it, Li Er still needs to have a detailed discussion with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and finally decides, maybe Li Er feels that there is nothing wrong with Jia Yi here, so he directly let Jia Yi go back first.

Since Li Er has just been in power for a little more than two years, the word "founding" is now hung in front of the title he has sealed, which means that Jia Yi has changed from a small common man to the current baron of Duqu County, as a nobleman, Chang'an City will inevitably have a set of houses that are not small.

Although the baron is only an official from the fifth rank, he can pass from a small Xuanjie lieutenant to the fifth rank in one step, which can be regarded as a step to the sky.

happily returned home, and when he saw that he had been knighted and told Lin Ruyu about it, Lin Ruyu suddenly cried excitedly, which just verified the sentence, women are made of water, no matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, it can make them cry.

"The husband has entered the knighthood, and he has been celebrating for three days, but the concubine feels that with the talent of the husband, let alone a baron, even if it is a marquis and a prince, I hope that the husband will not be proud and complacent and destroy his future."

How else to say that Lin Ruyu is a good wife and mother, when she is so happy, she doesn't forget to pour a basin of cold water on Jia Yi, whose head has burned to forty degrees, and persuade him not to be complacent, and to go further.

When Jia Yi heard this, he immediately announced that Daqing would be celebrated for three days, no matter who it was, as long as he came here to congratulate, he could go to the table to eat.

For a while, the people who heard that Jia Yi was knighted all gathered around Jia's Manor, and the little grandfathers naturally didn't need to say much, they knew the news at the earliest, so they soon came to Jia's Manor, and while congratulating Jia Yi, he stretched out his hand to ask Jia Yi for a red envelope.

Today is Jia Yida's happy day, and when will he not give a red envelope at this time, so without any hesitation, he waved his hand and sealed a red envelope of ten cents.

The little grandfathers looked at the ten cents in their hands, and collectively despised Jia Yi.

Three days of carnival, so that Jia Yi does not know how many times, in short, as long as he comes to his senses, someone will come to pour wine, after all, he is a businessman, once did not be an official, there are a lot of businessmen, and now he is directly named by Li Erqin Duqu County has opened a man, those merchants who think they are closer to Jia Yi, rushed over at the first time, set the friendship of friendship, and the relationship of climbing, and finally led to Jia Yi's drunken dream death.

Three days have passed since the three-day carnival, but Jia Yi is still dizzy, no way, the madness of those three days is too powerful, even if he only drinks one-star wine, the lowest degree of wine, but it is still no match for so many people in turn, there is no alcohol poisoning, even if Jia Yiyi is good.

In the past few days, millet porridge and pickles have become Jia Yi's favorite, and when he drinks porridge, he will have a big white steamed bun, and that day is great.

Just when Jia Yi was enjoying this rare quiet life, things changed dramatically again, Jia Yi was appointed as a ranger general, saying that he didn't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, but after Jia Yi heard the word general, he felt a burst of liver tremors, even if the general really doesn't have to kill the enemy, but it is still very possible to go into battle, as long as he stands on the battlefield, even if it is the rear of the battlefield, but who knows if the rear will suffer from other people's sneak attacks, resulting in little loss to the soldiers on the frontal battlefield, The barracks in the back were suffering heavy losses.

And when he was named a baron before, Li Er also said that he was going to send troops to the Turks, where are the Turks, in the eastern part of present-day Qinghai Province, don't look at the current Guanzhong is still a little stuffy, but you must know that it will take at least two months to walk from Chang'an to the location of the Turks, plus the Turkic terrain is higher, the temperature will drop very much, if nothing else, this winter, many people will be frozen to death on the battlefield.

Jia Yi has just lived a comfortable life, and he hasn't had enough, but he doesn't want to go to the battlefield to find excitement, and his child will basically be born in August, after all, it is his first child, and he really doesn't want to miss the opportunity to see the child for the first time.

Unlike Jia Yi's enjoyment of peace, whether it is Qin Huaiyu or Cheng Chumo, even the imperial relatives like Changsun Chong have been conscripted into the army, and Li Huairen is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and has also entered the team that attacked the Turks this time.

In order to express his congratulations to these people, Jia Yi personally held a banquet at home and accompanied them to have a good meal.

Jia Yi's appearance was directly despised by Cheng Chumo as a soft egg, that is, a girl who has no responsibility.

For Cheng Chumo's ridicule, Jia Yi showed that it didn't matter, as long as he didn't go to the battlefield, the soft egg would be a soft egg, but when Jia Yi poured wine for Cheng Chumo repeatedly, no one noticed that he changed the logo on the wine jar from a three-star wine to a one-star wine. Soon Cheng Chumo fell into a coma under Jia Yi's gaze, and it didn't take long for the earth-shattering snoring sound to come out of his nose.

If Cheng Chumo's snoring was quieter, Jia Yi really didn't mind that he could sleep in Jia's Manor, just for everyone's safety and health, Jia Yi could only let Qin Huaiyu and others pull Cheng Chumo back to Chang'an.
