Chapter 13: Preparing to buy yards and the onslaught of high-yielding rice

"Shopkeeper Lu can you help me inquire if there is space for sale in the yard in Chang'an City, the sooner the better!" Du Chengfeng asked.

"Idle yard." Shopkeeper Lu immediately became excited when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Little brother Chengfeng, you can be regarded as asking the right person, there is a good yard for sale in the East Market." ”

"The former owner of the courtyard turned out to be a third-grade official of the imperial court, and he was demoted out of Kyoto not long ago, and the courtyard was gone, and he was in a hurry to find someone to change hands. But the price is a bit expensive, 3000 runs, if the little brother is interested, I can take the little brother to see it. ”

"The courtyard of the three-rank official? It should be good to think about. "3,000 guan is just a piece of cake for him now, Du Chengfeng said in his heart.

"Yes, I'm very interested, I don't know if Shopkeeper Lu can take me to see it in two days." Du Chengfeng smiled.

"No problem, always welcome." Shopkeeper Lu said happily. I feel that the distance between me and Du Chengfeng has been shortened one step closer.

"Then there's Shopkeeper Laulu!" Du Chengfeng said politely.

"The little brother riding the wind is too polite, it's a trivial matter." Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile, and then asked: "Little brother Chengfeng, when I came, I saw that there was something that was very curious and incomprehensible, and I don't know if the little brother can answer it." ”

"Shopkeeper Lu, please speak." Du Chengfeng replied indifferently.

"When I came, I saw a lot of people growing rice in Little Brother's village, but as far as I know, rice is mainly grown in the southern region, and the yield is not high. But why do you see that the people in your village seem to be very interested in planting? Shopkeeper Lu asked.

"Oh, that's high-yielding rice, and the wages for growing rice are 40 wen a day, so they are naturally happy and do their best, and I promised them that if they don't reach the expected yield, they will compensate them twice for all their losses, so they are very interested." Du Chengfeng answered one by one.

The tone was flat, and he didn't know how much surprise and impact the high-yield rice he was talking about would bring to this era.

In fact, Du Chengfeng doesn't mind letting Shopkeeper Lu know about this matter, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and he hopes to spread it through Shopkeeper Lu's connections, which can be regarded as a little contribution to Datang.

Well, he actually has a little selfishness, and he's just for the prestige. However, compared to the huge surprise brought by the high-yielding rice, his selfishness is insignificant.

"High-yielding rice?" Shopkeeper Lu was very keen to grasp this keyword. "How productive!" Shopkeeper Lu asked tentatively.

"It's not much, it looks like a dozen stones per mu, you can plant two seasons a year, as long as there is water." Du Chengfeng replied casually.

"What? The yield per mu is more than a dozen stones, and it is also two seasons! Shopkeeper Lu was stunned, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he was stupid, and his mouth was open enough to stuff a fist.

What shocked him the most was looking at Du Chengfeng's casual and disapproving expression.

It seems that he doesn't take this yield of more than a dozen stones per mu seriously at all, and Shopkeeper Lu can't wait to split Du Chengfeng's brain to see what he is pretending to be.

Does he know what it means to produce more than a dozen stones per mu? At this moment, Shopkeeper Lu was roaring in his heart.

"Little brother Chengfeng, do you know what Datang's grain production is? Do you know what it means to produce more than a dozen stones per mu? Do you know how many people in Datang still don't have enough to eat because of the food problem? Shopkeeper Lu yelled.

After asking Du Chengfeng a few rhetorical questions in a row, he felt that he was going to be hit crazy.

"You know, it's generally three or four stones per mu." Du Chengfeng's answer was still so plain and casual.

It seems that he didn't take the so-called yield of more than a dozen stones per mu to heart at all, and he looked very indebted.

He really didn't take this kind of small thing to heart, he was used to seeing modern grain production of more than 1,000 catties per mu at every turn, this kind of thing was just a commonplace and common thing.

In his opinion, in a few years, it will not be a problem for Datang's grain to multiply several times under his operation.

If you really tell Shopkeeper Lu about the sweet potatoes and potatoes that yield dozens of stones per mu, it is estimated that Shopkeeper Lu will be scared out of trouble.

Shopkeeper Lu was completely defeated by Du Chengfeng's indifferent attitude, but looking at Du Chengfeng's confident appearance, this high-yield rice yield of ten stones per mu is mostly true.

This news is too shocking, compared to the insignificant impact of the little wealth that the fairy wine just brings, the shopkeeper Lu attaches more importance to the great benefits brought by the follow-up of high-yield rice.

No, this news has to be told to the owner as soon as possible, Shopkeeper Lu thought in his heart.

At this time, the three hundred altars of fairy wine were also loaded, and the sky gradually darkened. Shopkeeper Lu knew that he couldn't stay long. He hurriedly drove the convoy away.

Today is a worthwhile trip, Shopkeeper Lu sighed. Du Chengfeng's shock to him was too great, one after another.

Fairy wine, high-yield rice, and amazing calligraphy are all like earth-shattering.

Boss Lu's thoughts Du Chengfeng didn't know, he now decided to go and see the system base in the cave, his clone soldiers had produced thousands of people, and he hadn't seen it yet.

Du Chengfeng avoided the people in the village and secretly came to the system base in the back mountain.

"Hello Commander!" As soon as he walked into the confines of the base, the clone soldiers who were standing guard at the door saluted him.

Du Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and looked at it carefully. Each of them had a natural expression, no different from a real person, but everyone looked at him with great loyalty.

Everyone is born burly and majestic, and there is a different light in their eyes, giving people the feeling that everyone is a predator. Each was armed with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle with a bayonet and a 54 pistol at his waist.

This kind of rifle has excellent performance in Du Chengfeng's memory, light weight, high shooting accuracy, strong lethality, and wide applicability, and is a rare rifle in modern times. The shell has a capacity of ten rounds, a rate of fire of 35-40 rounds per minute, and an effective range of 400 meters.

Seeing these clone soldiers and the equipment on them, Du Chengfeng looked up to the sky and smiled, laughing heartily.

With this army in hand, who is the enemy in this world? Turkic, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, and many enemy countries around the Tang Dynasty are all relying on him to conquer.

At that time, all the swords and horses will be Han soil. The humiliation suffered by thousands of years of Chinese cultural history must be returned to them, at this moment, Du Chengfeng secretly swore in his heart.

"System, these clone soldiers all have names, how is the combat effectiveness?" Du Chengfeng calmed down and asked.

"Each of them is an elite soldier, with a combat power of 1500-2000, each of them can match the generals of this era, and they can all be cultivated and upgraded, and the names are randomly assigned by the system, of course, the host can also choose its own name. The most important thing is that the clone soldiers are 100% loyal and do not have to worry about mutiny, the only fly in the ointment is that the command ability is not good, and compared with the real generals, the difference is quite large. The system replied mechanically.

"Shhh After listening to the introduction of the system, Du Chengfeng gasped. The combat effectiveness of each of these soldiers was comparable to that of the generals of the time, and Du Chengfeng was shocked.

Too strong, too perverted, terrifying weapons and amazing combat effectiveness, Du Chengfeng can fully imagine that any army in this era will be easily crushed against the army composed of clone soldiers.

"Great!" Du Chengfeng was overjoyed, but he couldn't be arrogant, and the goal had to be achieved step by step.

If he remembers correctly, this year should be the most aggrieved and humiliating year for Li Shimin. The famous Weishui Alliance was signed at the end of August this year.

There are still nearly five months to count. According to the production capacity of the system base, at least nearly 40,000 or so clone soldiers should be produced.

At that time, 40,000 elite soldiers against hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Shangjieli, even if the number of people is very different, Du Chengfeng is confident that he will be stunned, and the expression should be very exciting when you think about it, Du Chengfeng said in his heart. Let the Turks be the first stepping stone to their own rise.

However, it is still early, and the most important thing now is to accumulate strength.

"Soldier, come here!" Du Chengfeng beckoned to one of the clone soldiers and ordered.

When the clone soldiers saw this, they immediately ran over and saluted. "Hello Commander, what are the instructions?" The soldier asked.

"Now I order you to be the commander of the guard company, immediately select 100 soldiers, guard 200 meters around the cave, and not let anyone approach the cave, understand." Du Cheng Wind Duct.

"Understood! Resolutely complete the mission! The soldier replied firmly.
