Chapter 561: Mutual Calculation (Asking for Subscription)
Although Lin Sen received a new position, he obviously would not take up his duties so quickly, and he still had many things to do, such as harvesting rice.
And Feng Zhidai didn't come for a long time, probably a few days, and he should have chatted with Feng Ang about the most important topics, and then called Lin Sen over again to attend the dinner held in the Feng family's mansion.
The leaders of the Feng family, that is, the leaders of various state capitals and forces in the entire Gaozhou, basically all came.
Feng Zhidai inevitably also complimented Lin Sen, praising him for his bravery, strong martial arts, and so on.
And Lin Sen obviously felt that Feng An's attitude towards himself was also more enthusiastic, and it seemed that the credit of this Feng Zhidai was indispensable, and he didn't know what he said to his Lao Tzu.
In addition, Lin Sen felt that it must also be based on the face of the crops he planted.
The harvest of super rice has begun one after another, although it has not yet been completed, because the area they have planted is actually not small, but the approximate yield per mu has been calculated.
Just because of this, Feng Ang was even alarmed, and went to the rice field to watch for a day, which is definitely a rare importance for him.
Because the yield per mu over there is really amazing, at least in Feng An's opinion, it can already be called a terrifying yield.
On average, the yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties, and individual lands are rich in nutrients, and even 1,500 catties!
Even according to the lowest yield, it is more than twice the original yield per mu, and the high yield has even increased by four or five times.
Even if he didn't have to worry about the lack of food to eat, Feng Ang could still understand what this terrifying output meant.
Even if it doesn't bring much economic benefit, the political interests behind it are very different, and this alone can ensure that there will be very little famine under his hands.
It can be said that it is immediate to stabilize people's hearts and increase their prestige.
No matter how much the short-sighted guys under his command exploit the ordinary people, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they will have to do a lot of bullshit and shit, not to mention fighting the rebels who have been scraped three feet high and can only fight back.
Therefore, Feng Ang felt that he couldn't pay too much attention to this thing, this was a strategic-level killing weapon.
Recently, I have been busy trying to get more rice seeds from Lin Sen, so that my subordinates can plant this super rice in a large area.
Of course, Lin Sen is also happy to do this, not to mention that he can make a fortune by selling rice seeds, and he can also let this super rice occupy the entire Lingnan.
When Lingnan people get used to the ultra-high yield of these rices, they want to let them grow back to their original ones, but it is not just a scolding mother.
But Feng Ang didn't know that Lin Sen was doing something behind his back, and he thought that buying rice seeds was a one-shot deal, and after his own super rice was planted in the future, would he still need to go to Lin Sen to buy it?
Holding the lifeline in the hands of others is obviously not an idea that an earth emperor like him would have. After making up your mind to get enough rice seeds, you have to leave Lin Sen's alone.
As everyone knows, Lin Sen has long been guarding against him, and wants to kick him down in the corner, but there is no door.
But the two of them who are calculating each other at the moment look very harmonious, and they don't know how good their relationship really is, and the sons and nephews of Feng Ang all came to toast Lin Sen non-stop.
Lin Sen attaches more importance to it, thinking that the sugarcane that can create more wealth for himself is not yet fully ripe, and he must ask the locals to help harvest and squeeze it, and it is best to make sugar again.
Food can bring more strategic significance. This time, Lin Sen didn't plan to give up the prestige of this Demon Rice Grandmaster easily, even if Feng Ang gave enough benefits, Lin Sen would definitely not let it out easily, and he would have to take the name of Li Shimin in the end.
What's more, at the moment, Feng Ang seems to have forgotten the honor of the inventor, and he doesn't know what his idea is.
Lin Sen was also prepared for this, and he was not afraid of being easily picked by Feng An, Feng Ang really wanted to bypass him, maybe he would find himself jumping into a big pit instead.
In contrast, the benefits of sugarcane are more direct.
Compared to many other things, sugar is actually a hard currency that is more acceptable to people.
The most popular fruits in Chang'an City are all sweet, and they have to be similar to the three knives of later generations, so sweet that they are a little throaty.
This probably has a lot to do with the overall eating habits of the Tang people, heavy taste, greasy is the main theme, light sweetness, and even among the sister papers, it is not very marketable.
The consumption of sugar can be imagined, and sugar at this time is not cheap.
This is just Chang'an City, think about the entire territory of Datang, and then think about the merchants who are constantly coming and going in Guangzhou City, it is not difficult to imagine how big the market is.
In addition, planting these two crops can also effectively connect the north and south in the future, strengthen mutual exchanges and dependence, and will also be very helpful to enhance Datang's control over the south, of course, it will be after Lin Sen's plan is slowly promoted.
At least for now, it seems that there is no harm to Feng Ang, otherwise how could he treat Lin Sen so warmly, who hasn't calculated it in his heart.
Considering that the road in Lingnan is difficult, of course, Li Shimin intends to indulge, and he also knows Lin Sen's plan, so the deadline for taking up the new post is quite long.
Before the real departure, Lin Sen personally watched as all the rice was harvested, and then it was sold to Feng Ang at a price that was satisfactory to both parties.
Feng An, who consciously spent this time to get this new rice once and for all, didn't mean to bother with Lin Sen at all, and gave it according to Lin Sen's offer with a wave of his hand.
After getting enough money, Lin Sen simply set off with the team. The goal is directly aimed at Panyu, where the current Guangfu government is located, that is, the city of Guangzhou in the future.
Feng Ang gave all the gold and silver, and he didn't need to be like copper coins, the speed of big cars and small cars slowing down everyone, so in fact, it was relatively fast to catch up.
After all, the founding of the Tang Dynasty is not very long, even if it was very far-sighted at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China and began to mint its own copper coins, the output is obviously far from meeting the needs of people's daily life.
Therefore, even in Chang'an City, barter transactions can often be seen, and silk cloth at this time actually bears the function of general equivalent, that is, similar to currency.
This is also the reason why places such as the East and West Markets exist in places like Money Shop.
It's impossible for anyone to pull a cart of copper coins or go out shopping with dozens of pounds of money strings.
In the south, especially in the Lingnan region, the scarcity of copper coins is much more serious, after all, the coinage workshop is placed in the far south, which is not conducive to the imperial family to strengthen its rule.
And no one can make a special trip to the north to get those heavy copper coins to use, and the north itself is not enough.
Besides, even if the copper money is shipped, this value must be very different from that of the north, and the freight alone is a lot of loss.
In addition, there are many merchants in places like Guangzhou, and people take copper coins to go overseas to buy things with whom, or it is convenient to use hard currency such as gold and silver.
Therefore, relying on gold and silver to conduct large transactions in the Lingnan region is already the default unspoken rule, although it does not quite conform to the provisions of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but everyone chooses to turn a blind eye and use it.
It is indeed much more convenient to carry gold and silver, at least Lin Sen and they deeply feel this convenience.
Compared with the distance from Gaozhou to Chang'an, the distance between Gaozhou and Panyu is much closer, so Lin Sen and they feel that it didn't take a long time, and the Guangzhou City, which is considered to be a large-scale city in the whole Lingnan, is far away.
