Chapter 87: It's good to open a shop in Chang'an
Listening to Li Gang's lament about fate and complaining that he still needs to worry about his children and grandchildren, Yang Wenhua did not answer, but continued to eat fish fillets quietly.
At this time, Li Shimin asked Li Shaozhi to take over Zheng Yuansheng's position and serve as the county magistrate of Lantian County, so he naturally had requirements for Li Gang.
However, this also shows an attitude of Li Lao Er, since force is no longer advisable, let the resourceful Li Gang outwit him.
Yang Wenhua doesn't care, but thinking about what he takes the initiative to give, others won't cherish it, and naturally he can't let Li Gang succeed easily, whether he wants technology or something else, Li Lao Er must pay the corresponding price.
Seeing that Yang Wenhua didn't talk, Li Gang looked at the reservoir and asked, "The master of the door has stored a lot of water in this reservoir, I'm afraid it's not less than a hundred acres in size, right?" ”
Yang Wenhua smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's okay, it's about the same size as your big family's house." ”
"After being reminded by the master of the door, the imperial court has also built many reservoirs this year, but due to the lack of money and food in the imperial court, there are still many places that have not been taken into account."
Yang Wenhua raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly and said, "I heard that when the water was cut off, many carp in the river were released by the imperial court.
Some people secretly took carp home to eat, but they were caught and fined money, so it seems that the court should have enough money and food. ”
At this time, Li Shaozhi, who was Li Gangbu's dish, retorted: "The carp is homophonic with the royal family's surname, and it is a shame for the Venerable, how can the people eat it at will?" ”
"It's a good one for His Holiness, don't you still wear underwear, you don't eat plums anymore, you don't live in the house anymore, so many homophonies, do you have to avoid them one by one, it's a big joke in the world, what does the old gentleman think?"
Yang Wenhua ignored Li Shaozhi, but asked Li Gang directly.
Li Gang sighed, "The old man can't say anything about this matter, and it doesn't count if he says it." ”
It's a good one to say, you are a Confucian master, how can you not even have the right to speak, Yang Wenhua smiled angrily.
"Hehe, in this case, Yang has nothing to say, the old gentleman does not need to talk about money and food, and Yang's things will be handled by himself.
Such a thing of choking and wasting food can be done, and Confucianism only has this ability, so it is no wonder that Confucianism is not as good as the next generation. ”
"Confucianism is indeed inferior to one generation after another, but it is still the orthodoxy of the Han family, so I don't know which one is the master?"
"No matter which one you have, it's better than Confucianism."
"The old man would like to hear about it."
Want to talk to me?
Then let you see.
"All science has been compatible with your Confucianism, and it is needless to say that we will talk about the practical science that has been rejected by your Confucianism today."
After Yang Wenhua said the beginning, he threw away an inferior watch, "Look, this is the crystallization of hundreds of years of overseas Mo families, dividing a day into twenty-four parts."
The most slender hand beats for a minute, the middle hand beats for three quarters for a quarter of an hour, and a circle for half an hour.
That is to say, after walking the stubby pointer on the top twice, it is just one day, how does it feel, is it amazing? ”
Li Gang took the watch and looked at it carefully, and nodded, "It's really good." ”
"This watch that can keep accurate time is just an ordinary thing. As for the horseshoe, the curved plough is just a trail.
There are a lot of powerful things in the overseas Mo family, if they are willing to come back, they can sweep away your Confucianism in minutes.
The pipe is divided into Shinong Industry and Commerce is a good intention, and the four people can only run faster when they go hand in hand, but when it comes to Dong Zhongshu, there is a distinction between superior and inferior.
When your Confucianism wiped out all the other schools, did you ever think that you would not be able to make an inch of progress for hundreds of years, and you couldn't even think of such things as horseshoes and curved plows? ”
Li Gang was silent for a long time, "What about the others?" ”
"Other?"
Yang Wenhua smiled disdainfully, "Others are also very powerful, such as many techniques of the farmer, such as planting vegetables in winter and hatching eggs in the fire pit, which will not be mentioned in detail."
Let's just say something intuitive, overseas farmers have cultivated rice and wheat that can produce more than 1,000 catties per mu, and there is no longer the worry of famine.
Doctors, on the other hand, are even more powerful, not only preventing all kinds of epidemics, but also curing most diseases, and when necessary, they can disembowel people to cure diseases.
For example, for people as old as Mr. Lao, they will configure a pair of dentures, so that you can continue to enjoy all kinds of food after you wear them, instead of just eating soft goods such as fish and tofu. ”
"The door master's methods are amazing, and the old man can't refute it, you said a lot of things, and the old man can't tell the truth from the false, so what can I do?"
"Believe it or not, but I still hope that Confucianism can raise its head from the Four Books and Five Classics and put more effort into the study of use.
Countless people's entire lives are buried in those old papers, it's really a waste, and it's better to get more practical things to make everyone's life better? ”
"The old man's time is short, and he can't care about that, but he can let future generations spend some time on these practical learnings."
After thinking about it, Li Gang asked again: "Regarding the matter of food, doesn't the door master think about it anymore?"
The saint only needs the door master to sell the grain and stabilize the grain price, and there is no intention for the door master to directly donate the grain. ”
"Haven't you been taking out food all the time?"
Yang Wenhua was a little puzzled, and then looked at Yang Guo, the chief of the room.
"I have been selling, but the owner only accepts gold and paper money, and many people can't come up with the money even if they want to buy grain, but now the gold on the market has increased a lot.
As for the paper money, the owner of the door originally issued very little, and some people deliberately bought some of it, and used it to circulate and use it elsewhere, so the food that could be exchanged for it was naturally less. ”
Li Gang's words made Yang Wenhua a little surprised, although he knew that after the adhesive paper money had its own acceptance, it would inevitably circulate, but he didn't expect it to be accepted so early.
Yang Wenhua thought about it and still didn't let go, but mentioned another thing.
"What does the old gentleman think of Yang's fish fillet?"
Li Gang nodded and said affirmatively: "It can be called peerless, anyway, the old man has never eaten such a delicious thing." ”
"If the old gentleman can open a restaurant in Chang'an and specialize in selling such fish fillets, then Yang can provide the old gentleman with the recipe and various materials of this fish fillet, what does the old gentleman think?"
Li Gang thought for a long time, and finally only said: "The old man will go back and see first, whether it will be successful or not, let's talk about it when the time comes." ”
Yang Wenhua nodded, and he was not reluctant.
Just two days later, Li Shaozhi came to Yang Wenhua to get the secret recipe and ingredients, and after that, Chang'an had an extra dish called redtail fish fillet.
