Chapter 53: The Green One Is Really Beautiful
The vegetable greenhouse with a radius of half an acre soon came to an end.
Du Shen also told his experience about building a greenhouse, and told the two that they could not solve the lighting problem for the time being, so wheat and other things could not be planted.
After listening to him, Yang Tinghe said again: "Brother Du has such a talent, why do you want to grow vegetables?" ”
He sincerely admired Du Shen's talent, but he couldn't figure out what the deep meaning of the vegetable greenhouse was.
Du Shen's old face flushed and replied, "Interest! ”
Yang Tinghe: ......
Of course, the real reason must not have anything to do with interest.
Du Shen would not tell them that when he first came to Daming, he was hungry at home for three days and almost starved to death, and after that, he made up his mind to make money!
Apprentices are accepted in order to earn tuition, chalk, etc. are made in order to earn money from scholars!
Planting cabbage in vegetable greenhouses is also for money!
Du Shen, who is detached from vulgar tastes, is so real, he can do things only with money, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.
He also thought that after the success of the vegetable greenhouse, he would drive the villagers and elders of Dujia Village to also grow vegetables together, and Dujia Village in the province was too poor, and the Huitou Academy was built, and the tuition fees could not be charged much.
Ahem......
In fact, the main reason is that there are too many physical education classes, and he really can't think of how to give full play to the residual heat of a few apprentices, so after thinking about it, he got the vegetable greenhouse out.
Emperor Hongzhi and Yang Tinghe looked at each other, maybe this is a great talent!
But!
Emperor Hongzhi is not incomprehensible, growing vegetables is really good, and the green is so likable.
"Du Qing, I actually like Chinese cabbage a lot."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Du Shen and smiled inexplicably.
The Chinese cabbage in the Imperial Garden, although it is also green, is always one, and it looks too lonely......
Du Shen's eyelids jumped wildly and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "How do you sell this cabbage?" ”
Du Shenleng!
What's that?
Sell?
Du Shen's eyes were wrong when he looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Do you seem to be a payer?
Even if he gives money, he dares to either?
Boy!
It's a thief!
Du Shen smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, now the cabbage has just grown for a long time, and it can only be planted in the greenhouse, if you eat it, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
Hongzhi waved his hand and said: "It's not a secret, I also got a greenhouse in the imperial garden, and I happened to plant it in it." ”
Eating cabbage, he didn't have this idea, but when he heard Du Shen mention it, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, recently I was busy with government affairs and snubbed Queen Zhang, so I just brought some cabbage back, so I said that it was planted for her, and I thought that I would be able to please the queen.
Hearing that Emperor Hongzhi had built a greenhouse in the imperial garden, the strange feeling in Du Shen's heart became even stronger.
Nothing to do in a vegetable greenhouse? This is prepared!
Wait a minute......
Something seems to be wrong!
Du Shen frowned, in the morning he found that two cabbages were missing in the vegetable greenhouse, he thought that Xu Pengju and Zhu Houzhao had left, but when he heard this, could it be that Emperor Hongzhi did it?
This......
I'm so hard!
Du Shen wanted to cry without tears, so he had to say: "Since Your Majesty likes it, then the minister will dig a few for you and take it away, as for the money, forget it, Your Majesty loves the people like a son, how dare the minister accept the money." ”
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "How many?" I see that there are hundreds of them in the greenhouse! ”
Du Shen's eyes widened!
This is not a thief, this is a wolf!
"Twenty!"
Du Shen gritted his teeth, these cabbages were all raised by him with a handful of and urine! Even if it's his own son, it's just that, if he is not satisfied, he is really anxious!
Emperor Hongzhi was satisfied, he originally only wanted to get ten to take back, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
Then.
Yang Tinghe also smiled: "Brother Du, cabbage is really likable......"
Du Shen was expressionless: "One!" More than that! ”
Yang Tinghe was also satisfied, he and Emperor Hongzhi did it themselves, the corners of their mouths couldn't stop smiling, when digging cabbage, they were digging with roots of soil, and the momentum was like locusts crossing the border, and no pieces of armor were left.
If it weren't for Du Shen watching from the sidelines, he even doubted that this gentleman and a minister would be able to hollow out the vegetable greenhouse.
As a matter of fact!
There is a reason why Emperor Hongzhi and Yang Tinghe liked cabbage.
Cabbage has been recorded since the Western Jin Dynasty, relying on its nutritious and long-lasting characteristics, it is much loved by people, especially many literati, who do not approve of it.
And now it is about to enter winter, everything is silent, and it is rare to see a little greenery as far as the eye can see, in this period Du Shen made Chinese cabbage, who is not surprised, who does not like it.
Even in a sense, growing Chinese cabbage in winter can be regarded as auspicious.
Emperor Hongzhi and Yang Tinghe left satisfied.
Before leaving, Yang Tinghe also informed Du Shen about the prince, and agreed that the prince would take turns to study and teach at the two of them every seven days in the future.
Poor Zhu Houzhao didn't know that his next 365 days had been arranged clearly.
……
The so-called, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle!
In a trance, half a month passed.
The whole capital is peaceful, the academy is also being built step by step, and the original homeless people have also settled down, and they have formed a small village near the academy, which is just adjacent to Dujia Village, so it has also been classified into Dujia Village.
Although they are immigrants, the villagers of the Du family have a simple atmosphere, and soon the displaced people are integrated into it, and now they are no longer separated from each other.
And Xiucai Liu Quan joined the academy as a teacher, but what puzzled him was that Mr. Engong Du Shen had to add a Chinese word in front of the teacher, saying that he wanted to divide the title into a category.
Moreover, Du Shen also instructed himself that he must train his body well, saying that he could use it when he returned to physical education class.
He asked himself: How talented Engong is, he naturally won't trick people, let him do what he does.
Therefore, he has been eating wild recently, coupled with the nutrition to keep up, his body has gradually returned to its former robustness, the height of one meter eight is already very high in this era, and most people are at most more than one meter seven, just standing there makes people feel shocked.
this day.
Du Shen took Liu Quan and Zhang Hao to the capital.
Coming in by the rise of the chalk wave in Zhili and other places, a large amount of chalk poured in, so that the price of chalk fell again and again, and even the price of the earliest one or two silver could not be maintained.
As a result, the displaced people who mined limestone had a hard time.
Contractors who are rich squires are the most realistic, they are willing to spend money if they can make money, but if they earn less, they are naturally not so reluctant.
The wages of the displaced people are falling, and the food they eat is starting to deteriorate.
Emperor Hongzhi was dissatisfied with this, but he sat on the dragon chair, he was the king of a country, and he couldn't tell the contractors how to do business!
Therefore, this matter fell on Du Shen's head.
With his current reputation, it is most appropriate to deal with this matter, and he is also the person who makes Emperor Hongzhi the most reassuring.
Arrived at the stationery store!
The shopkeeper saw Du Shen and the others, and hurriedly saluted.
Du Shen asked, "What is the price of chalk in the store now?" ”
The shopkeeper replied, "Not half-penetrating." ”
Du Shen sighed, he didn't expect that he had fallen to such an extent.
One or two pieces of silver are equivalent to the same, but now they are not half through, no wonder those contractors are reluctant to spend money.
In fact, according to Du Shen's assumption, this matter does not need to be solved at all, after the chalk market in the north is saturated, the price will fall again, but not too much, and someone will come out to protect the disk.
After that, there will be people who will find a way to do the chalk business in the south and other places, and there is no need to make a move.
But after the resettlement of the displaced people, no one did not call Emperor Hongzhi Shengming, and now seeing that the life of the displaced people is not good, of course he can't sit still, so this drudgery can only fall on himself.
