A few more days passed.

Wang Jian was lying comfortably on the bamboo collapse to recuperate, and in the distance, craftsmen were repairing the garden that had been destroyed by the Black Iron Tower.

Suddenly, a turtle fell from the sky and smashed at Wang Jian's feet.

How dangerous it is to fall from a high altitude, Wang Jian was taken aback, and he scolded: "Who the hell is so immoral, throwing things upstairs!" ”

When he looked up, he saw the miscellaneous hairs soaring happily in the blue sky, chirping happily several times, and seemed to be very proud of his behavior.

"Damn, you come down for Lao Tzu!"

Wang Jian pointed to the sky and was furious, but Zamao ignored him at all, swaying his huge wings and flying away.

The turtle was also hard-hitting, and he didn't fall to his death when he fell down from such a high place.

The turtle rolled over and crawled crookedly towards the pool in the garden.

The rockery in the pool was knocked down by the Black Iron Tower, and the craftsmen are repairing it.

When they heard the emperor's curse, they were startled, and quickly climbed down from the rockery and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the grass people didn't throw things away, they were wronged..."

Wang Jian darkened his face and waved his hand: "I didn't say anything about you, you continue to cultivate, if you don't repair well today, don't blame me for not paying you!" ”

Repair the garden for the emperor, and still have wages?

They were all overjoyed, because when Governor Zheng Yuqiao transferred them, he didn't say that they would be paid at all.

The wages issued by the emperor are not called wages, but royal gifts.

The craftsmen were so enthusiastic that the garden was repaired quickly, and it was repaired in half a day.

Wang Jian took out 10,000 taels of silver from Yang Shining's blackmailed more than 50,000 taels and handed them to Wang Qianqian, and sent them to the craftsmen.

Wang Jian watched the craftsmen leave happily, and he asked, "How are the people settled?" ”

Wang Qianqian said: "Brother Jian, the more than 400,000 people have been placed outside the city. ”

"With so many people, it's not a way to settle outside the city, there was no civil uprising, right?"

"No, my sister mobilized the soldiers in the barracks and helped them build simple sheds, and there is no problem for the time being. And the concubine also let the Zheng Governor's Mansion open a warehouse to release grain, but the daily consumption is huge. Previously, the emperor asked his concubines to send some food to Yidu City, but now the food in the city is not enough to eat, and it can only last for another month and a half at most. ”

A month and a half? Counting the days, sweet potatoes and potatoes should be ripe in a month.

Wang Jian said: "Don't worry about food, I have ordered people to plant a lot of sweet potatoes in the field on the bank of the Yellow River, and they can be eaten when they are ripe." ”

Wang Qianqian was puzzled: "Sweet potato? Does that stuff really fill your stomach? ”

At the beginning, Wang Jian spent money to let Wang Chengen rent a large field on the south bank of the Yellow River and plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, Wang Qianqian also knew about this, but she didn't think it was useful to plant these new crops.

Seeing Wang Qianqian's suspicion, Wang Jian said: "Qianqian, remember I told you that this world is very big, so big that you can't imagine it, and there are many strange things in this world, such as those crops in your backyard, their yield per mu is several times that of the grains we plant. As long as their planting techniques are promoted, I will not be short of food! ”

Wang Qianqian was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect that something like potatoes and sweet potatoes could not only be eaten, but also had such an amazing yield.

You must know that the ration of two hundred soldiers for a month is only 10,000 stones, and a family of five can eat one stone of grain for a month if they save money.

She immediately thought of what kind of changes it would bring to the people and the Ming Dynasty if it was really as Wang Jian said.

"Really?"

Wang Jian nodded seriously, and he said: "It's true, when the sweet potatoes in the field are ripe this time, I will hold another Haitian feast, so that the landlords in the city will also come to taste the taste of sweet potatoes, and let them all change to sweet potatoes." ”

Wang Jian also felt that many homeless people were hungry and had nothing to eat, so he thought about it and decided to hold another banquet.

Wang Qianqian heard Wang Jian say that he was going to hold a Haitian feast, and asked, "Brother Jian, why do you want to hold a banquet again?" She persuaded: "I am afraid that holding a banquet all the time will damage the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and it will also cost the people and money." ”

Wang Jian knows what she is worried about, just like Wang Fei, the more mysterious you are, the higher you are, the more people will kneel and add you, but the closer you are to the people, the less fresh and mysterious you are, and others will feel similar to yourself, the more mediocre they will be, the fewer people are interested in you, and the lower your worth, for a diva-level star like her, it is not good to have more exposure.

The Son of Heaven had to maintain a sense of disparity, and the more mysterious he was, the more fearful the people would be.

In order to maintain the mystery and majesty of the Son of Heaven, how can Tianyan easily appear in front of the world?

In fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor is the same as the monkey in the zoo, he feels novel when he sees it once, but if he sees it too much, that's it.

How could Wang Jian not understand this truth?

But this time, he did not want to fool others into donating money, but to promote the cultivation of new crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, and this matter should not be delayed.

Wang Qianqian said again: "It's really as Brother Jian said, the yield of those things is so high, Brother Jian issued a holy decree to let the tenants change to sweet potatoes, why do you want to feast those merchants?" ”

Wang Jian said: "Even if I make an order, farmers will be suspicious of new crops, and acceptance is also a problem. Because out of habitual thinking, they only believe in their own experience and what they see, the peasants who watch the sky and eat will not take risks because of a holy decree, and they can't get along with their stomachs, only businessmen in this world, mercenary businessmen, have this kind of adventurous spirit, with their beginning, the effect, soon others will accept it, will follow. ”

Wang Qianqian also nodded, she couldn't think of any way to solve the current food problem, and she could only agree with Wang Jian's method.

However, she also proposed that if she really wanted to hold a banquet, this time she didn't have to be personally sent by the emperor, and she could let the stand-in, that is, Jinyiwei, command Wang Jian to do it.

After discussing with Wang Qianqian, Wang Qianqian went to find her precious brother Wang Shizhen.

Qiuliuyuan was occupied by Wang Jian, and Wang Shizhen was naturally driven out, but he is now also very beautiful and has become a professor of botany at Jike University.

Wang Qianqian asked him to prepare for the promotion and promotion of sweet potato and potato planting techniques in advance.

In the next few days, as long as Wang Jian was alone in the garden to recuperate, there would be all kinds of prey, from rabbits and fish, to pigs and sheep, and even fierce beasts, such as wolves, fell from the sky, and every time they fell on Wang Jian's head accurately!

Don't ask, it must be dry hair!

When Yao'er learned about it, she also realized the danger of falling objects.

In order to regulate the behavior of the miscellaneous hair, she taught it harshly several times, but it didn't work, and the miscellaneous hair still went its own way, as if it was born wild and untamable, and in the end it was all gone.

Yao'er also said a lot of good things for Zamao in front of Wang Jian, but Wang Jian always believed that Zamao's behavior must be related to her mother who killed her, and it was a retaliatory act.

But he was also killed by his mother, and he was almost killed several times, and his garden was destroyed by it, and it cost 10,000 taels of silver to repair it alone.

In the end, Wang Jian could only sigh:

Hey, when is the time for retribution?
