Qian Mutong, as well as Feng Jiangting and Kou Zidun, when the three of them wanted to drive Fu Yuan away, they only hated Henan for not having an accident. It's not enough to do small things, but to get big things, the best time is to die in the drought, and the next batch to die when the White Lotus Sect is in chaos.

Otherwise, if Fu Yuan's incompetence is not revealed, the imperial court will not have the idea of changing governors, and there will be no hope for them to be promoted.

But now, Fu Yuan has made a righteous move, and they are grateful to Dade, so they can't let Henan have an accident anymore.

They are in the same group as Fu Yuan, but Fu Yuan is the head of the horse, which is a relationship of both prosperity and loss. There was an accident in Henan, Fu Yuan lost his position, they were not only sorry for Fu Yuan, but they also couldn't get over face.

Therefore, only if they can plant corn and prevent the people from being starved to death due to drought, or starved to death, or become homeless people who rob their homes, they will be Amitabha, and how dare they dare to hope for a future.

Besides, they didn't see that after planting corn, they could be promoted and make a fortune, and they could have a bright future! Planting corn and getting promoted to make a fortune have a bright future, and you can't beat it with eight poles.

The three of them looked at Fu Yuan in unison, hoping to solve their doubts.

Fu Yuan smiled meaningfully and said, "In our Daming, what is the foundation of the country!" ”

Just reminded me like this, Qian Mutong, Feng Jiangting, and Kou Zidun suddenly realized! Fu Yuan is right, this time they are going to be promoted and make a fortune!

What is the foundation of the nation? Food, of course!

Without food, what will the people eat? Without food, where does the imperial court go to collect taxes? The imperial court could not collect taxes, how to pay officials and how to pay soldiers and horses.

Are there any officials who do not take money? No! Are there any soldiers who do not receive their wages? No!

Daming has no officials, who will govern it! Daming has no soldiers, who will fight the war!

Therefore, food is the foundation of the country! Without food, the country will not be a country, and the Ming Dynasty will be finished!

But what is the situation facing Daming now? Others don't know, but they know best!

The powerful and powerful do everything they can to refrain from paying food. Those who have no power and no power cannot afford to pay for their wealth. If this continues, or the court can't afford to pay salaries, the big guys will resign together and go back to retire. Or the people can't afford to pay for their sons and girls, and in the end they simply turn against their mothers.

They can see this, can the officials of the capital or the emperor see it? But what can you do if you can see it? The powerful are not just those of them who are officials, and no one wants their interests to be damaged, so they deliberately pretend to be confused, be a monk for a day, and let the annual taxes become less and less, and gradually have the tendency to make ends meet.

The emperor knew that he had no way, and he was afraid that if he made a move, the officials would oppose it in unison. provoked a hurry, and everyone collectively picked on how to govern the country at that time.

But if they popularize the planting of corn in Daming, the annual yield of corn is three or four times that of wheat, and corn does not pick the ground, and it is drought-tolerant, and can be planted in mountains and hills, wouldn't the annual grain output of Daming increase by three or four times? What does this mean?

The people no longer have to worry about starving to death, the imperial court can collect three or four times more taxes than before, the officials don't have to worry about their own interests being damaged, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about making ends meet!

Who is the person who did this thing that made the entire Ming Dynasty, whether high or low, happy? Of course it's them! They have this great merit, the officials of the capital and the emperor, can they not think of their goodness, and do not give them promotions and make a fortune!

Qian Mutong and the three, if he hadn't taken into account his status as an official, he would have rolled up his sleeves and waved his arms and was ready to do it.

Fu Yuan was very satisfied with the reaction of the three of them, and said, "Let's go on, the disadvantages of this matter." ”

Kou Zi said anxiously: "This is a great thing, how can there be any drawbacks?" ”

Fu Yuan said: "Master Kou, don't worry, it may be that what I said is wrong, and you will be wrong." The disadvantage I am talking about is not that there is any harm in planting corn, but that it is difficult to grow corn! ”

Kou Zidun said: "What's the difficulty in planting corn? Send the seeds down and let the farmers plant them. Could it be that Master Fu is still afraid that the farmers can't grow corn? Master Fu rest assured, they were born to farm, wheat can be planted, corn can be planted naturally! ”

Fu Yuan sighed and said, "To send seeds to farmers, you have to have seeds!" ”

The smile on Qian Mutong's face couldn't help but stiffen. How did this Fu Yuan do it, didn't he say that there were seeds just now, what does it mean to say this now? Oh, you hung up the appetite of the big guy, everyone was holding back their energy and preparing to do this well, and you said to the big guy, I'm sorry, I was joking just now, there are no seeds at all, everyone wash and sleep! How can this work?

He was a little dissatisfied.

Originally, he had made up his mind to assist Fu Yuan to govern Henan well, let Fu Yuan work for three or five years, and rise again. As for whether he can rise again, it depends on the will of God. He has given up the desire to compete for power and profit, and has the idea of becoming a leader in the position of political envoy.

What do Feng Jiangting and Kou Zidun think? He could roughly guess that ninety percent of the thoughts were the same as his, otherwise he wouldn't have sat here to eat calmly, without a little complaint on his face.

The only thing he felt sorry for was these two good friends. took the risk to support him, and in the end, no one reaped the benefits. Fu Yuan wants to plant corn, obviously to give everyone a future. This made him very interested. He didn't have anything, the key was that the two good friends could go up one more level, so he vowed to do this well. But now, ......

Qian Mutong was very unwilling to say: "Didn't Master Fu just say that there are enough seeds for us to sow seeds in the province, and now why do you say that there are no seeds." ”

Fu Yuan said: "I didn't say there are no seeds!" ”

Seeing that things were still turning around, Qian Mutong was shocked and said, "Then why do you say that there must be seeds for farmers!" ”

Fu Yuandao: "Because the seeds are not in Jiyuan, nor in Henan, but in Quanzhou, Fujian." We have to go to Quanzhou to pull it. ”

Qian Mutong also said that what is the matter, isn't it just to pull a piece of grain, just pull it. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's send someone to Quanzhou!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Quanzhou is not close to us, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. Fortunately, spring had just begun, and there were still more than three months before the wheat harvest, so the time should be able to keep up. ”

Fu Yuandao: "I can keep up with the time, but there is a problem." He had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he was getting more and more embarrassed!

Qian Mu channel: "If Master Fu has anything to say, please say it directly!" Even if we encounter a big problem, we can discuss and solve it! The three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang, I don't believe the four of us can't come up with a way! ”

Fu Yuan sighed and said, "The corn is Feibai, let's talk about Feibai!" ”

Li Feibai said secretly: "It's finally my turn to go out!" He looked at everyone present, except for Qian Zijun, as if they were looking at white flowers.

Originally, he promised to give Fu Yuan the batch of corn in Quanzhou for emergency, which was to report the intention of doing good deeds, but who knew that while talking, he suddenly discovered a business opportunity. Not only do good deeds and make money, but with the help of the government, it saves him a lot of things, so why not do it!

He cleared his throat and said, "If it's a problem, it's not a problem. Is it a problem that can be solved with money? No! ”

What is the problem of Qian Mutong's return? It turned out to be just money!
