Liu Miao couldn't help but be excited, he knew very well what the emergence of a new oil crop represented.

In the past, why did the soldiers have a small exercise for five days and a big exercise every month? It's not that it's lazy, but the conditions don't allow it at all! Training means that there must be three meals on the day, and the stronger the training, the more fat needs to be supplemented, otherwise the soldier will be completely collapsed for two months at most, and not only can not train the elite, but the soldier will be trained to death.

The question is, where did you get so much meat these days? Game is not without it, the fat content is too low. It's as simple as oil and water, eat more, and as a result, the consumption of military rations will go up. However, the grain output is not enough, and 100,000 people practice every day, and in three months, all the grain that Yangzhou has just harvested this year can be consumed.

In this way, there is no need to go out to fight this year, and in a few months, there may be a possibility of bombing the camp and rioting.

The key to all this lies in the word 'oil and water'. In this era when you have to pick fatty meat to eat pork, few people can understand the happiness of the people who can eat oil and water.

"Cooking requires preparation, but I've already told my subordinates to get some peanuts and squeeze them for oil." Li Ming clapped his hands after speaking, and naturally a subordinate brought a pot of peanut oil and a basket of oil residue.

"This pot on the left ......" Li Ming came to the side of the oil pot, "This is peanut oil, who wants to taste it?" ”

"Me!" Many families responded one after another, and even Liu Miao was ready to move.

"All shared!" Li Ming looked at his subordinates, and after a while, someone took out a lot of cups, and then the subordinates who took the oil pot began to pour some peanut oil into each cup.

Fortunately, this thing is not a drink in the first place, it is good to be able to taste the taste, everyone took the cup in their hands, asked, the fragrance is rich, and it smells a lot better than rapeseed oil. I dipped my fingers in it and tasted it, and it was indeed fragrant and delicious.

Many families couldn't help but look at their companions around them, and everyone's eyes showed a look of 'rich'.

"I know everyone is interested in peanuts, but there is another by-product, you can take a look......" Li Ming smiled and asked people to bring the oil residue, "This is the oil residue after oil extraction, you can take a look, even if it is so, it can be eaten, and the taste is not bad." Even if people don't eat it, they can be fed to pigs, which can speed up the fattening rate of domestic pigs.

I think everyone already knows the secret that domestic pigs must be castrated to be delicious, and other cooking methods are also obtained through various means. Raise some pigs while planting peanuts, then pig manure can be used to fertilize the field, pork can be sold, pig hair can be used to make brushes and brushes, peanuts can be planted, oil residue and branches and leaves can be fed to pigs, and peanut oil can be used for sale, which is simply a million profits. ”

"My lord, how much do we have to pay to get peanut seeds?" Lu Jun walked out and asked.

"You don't have to pay anything!" After Li Ming finished speaking, he had already seen the noise below, and immediately pressed his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued, "I can give the seeds to you for free, and teach the mature cultivation methods, but the seeds are scarce, and each family is about fifty catties evenly, mainly used for seeds, and after next year, the planting will be expanded one after another, and it is estimated that it will take two to three years to start making profits."

Fortunately, it is relatively easy to grow, and some sandy land can also be planted, so it will not occupy so much fertile land. Specific techniques, someone will come to teach you later. ”

When Li Ming said that it would take two years to make a profit, many people were indeed disappointed, and later heard that there was no need for good land, so their minds naturally became active again. Places such as sandy land or tidal flats are not suitable for growing grain at all, and if you can grow peanuts on them, then it will not affect the original fertile land, so this transaction is still very cost-effective.

"My lord, you provide free seeds and free technology, what should we give? My lord, if you have something to say, otherwise we won't be at ease! Lu Jun complained.

The families nodded secretly, to be honest, they were also worried, how could it really be free if Li Ming gave up so many benefits? He's not stupid, look at the Tao family, they're all on the verge of extinction by this guy.

"The price, there must be! It's nothing to say, but I want to promote new agricultural technologies and new ideas, and everyone will cooperate more, and there will be benefits in the future, and naturally I will not treat everyone badly! Li Ming looked at everyone.

New agricultural technology, to be honest, Li Ming has begun to promote, but everyone may be a little hindered psychologically, so they are not very cooperative. Now that the benefits have been shared, everyone naturally feels that the idea of 'promotion has been promoted, just like that', so they have responded and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the imperial court to promote new agricultural technologies.

"My lord, the new technology and the people understand, what does the new concept mean?" Zhu Zhun asked suddenly.

"The new concept is related to the promotion of new technologies, not to mention anything else, I also know that you are worried because the grain cannot be sold at a good price, many people do not know how to operate, and they can't make money from farming, so I'm afraid that they will hate their jobs, right?" Li Ming looked at everyone.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Everyone hurriedly responded, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown.

"I know you are resentful, it doesn't matter, after all, when reforming, the first thing to consider is the imperial court and the interests of the country. Increasing grain production and income is an inevitable result, no one can stop it, anyone who stops it is a confrontation with the country and the imperial court, and a confrontation with the people living in this world and underground. Li Ming looked at everyone, and the killing intent suddenly permeated, frightening many families of the family to tremble.

The heads of the three generations of the Danyang Tao clan are still piled up at the gate of Wanling, listing the evidence of their crimes. The people who came and went spit on their heads, and it could really be said that they would be infamous if they died.

"But!" Li Ming suddenly made a turn, "You are concerned about the imperial court, and the imperial court will naturally not treat you badly." Win-win cooperation is the core of the relationship between the court and the family, and it is not good for either party to suffer! ”

"Yes, yes!" Lu Jun and Zhu Zhun responded one after another, and the families below also responded with hindsight.

"Food is not so profitable, so easy to say!" Li Ming smiled, "First of all, increase the output of grain to ensure that the people of Yangzhou will not go hungry, and even the government will come forward to purchase to ensure that everyone will not suffer." On this basis, why don't you plant and cultivate some plants that are endemic to the region, such as tea, such as certain wood, such as certain medicine or special products?

For example, this rice, how to further improve the yield, further improve the taste, the low-end does not go to the high-end! When you're full, don't you want to eat some good rice and vegetables? Don't you want to eat oil and meat? Do you want to eat some fruit and drink some tea after a meal? This is the new concept of agriculture I proposed, to sum up, it is the concept of 'cultivating special products', deducting the necessary low-end industries, why not try to take the high-end route? ”

After a pause, Li Ming continued: "The government is ready to introduce a new policy, any new technology, after it is determined, the creator will retain the patent right of this technology, for a maximum of forty years, you can monopolize this technology, and sell this technology to the outside world for a fee, whoever uses this technology, you must give you patent fees, anyone who uses this technology without consent, it is considered a crime, confiscated all illegal gains, and there will be prison and a huge fine." ”

This is the first time I have heard of this statement, and the families have been talking to each other, and they seem to be not very accustomed to this kind of regulation, and they are a little familiar with this concept, as if they have heard or seen it somewhere before, but they can't remember it.

"Actually, there is nothing surprising that you have always kept ordinary people from having easy access to books, which can actually be regarded as a kind of patenting...... Of course, our current topic is not this ......" Li Ming did not elaborate, there is no need.

Strictly speaking, the control of knowledge should be a monopolistic behavior, and patents can be recognized, but monopolies must be cracked down when necessary. In the short term, there is no way to force the families to give up their monopoly on knowledge, so there is no need to talk about this issue in depth. One accidentally touched the sensitive nerves of these guys, and I was afraid that I would go against him.

"My lord......" The head of the Ling family of Wu Jun came out tremblingly, "This 'special product', do we have to try to make it in each family?" ”

"No, no, no, the new agricultural concept is only advocated, not forced. I just hope that everyone can maximize the potential of agriculture, instead of continuing to waste time in line with the concept of 'planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, planting more and less'.

You are all big families, and you have the best people to study these. At present, your farming model, at least in my own opinion, is a waste of land, and to put it mildly, I am very unhappy to see you waste the land so much! Li Minghu said with a grimace.

"My lord, we still need to consider the new agricultural concept." Lu Jun came forward and said, and everyone also responded.

"I only said that I advocated it, after all, the farmland is yours, and I don't want to point fingers too much." Li Ming replied angrily, "My original intention is to make everyone rich, you see this way to make a fortune, I have already said, if you don't do it, then others will make a fortune like that, don't complain!" ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Lu Jun said with a smile, and the families below also responded one after another.

"Of course, I also have good news for you by the way!" Li Ming smiled, "In the future, with the popularization of agricultural technology and the increase in grain production, there will be no need to pay any taxes for farming......

Speaking of which, not to mention the family below, became excited, and Liu Xuan's face behind him became ugly.

"On the other hand, your grain must be sold to the imperial court first. The purchase price is purchased according to the market price in Yangzhou, and you will not lose money. But if there is an official who does not purchase at this price, you can go to the government to complain, or even to the Taishou Mansion, or even to me, and whoever stretches out his claws, I will chop off his claws! Li Ming said viciously.

"Your Excellency is benevolent!" The families laughed, they don't need to pay agricultural taxes, so they can have more grain to sell, and even if they trade to the government, they can get money, and this transaction is not a loss!

"Don't rejoice too soon!" Li Ming looked around at everyone, "Anyone who is shoddy and uses old grain instead of new grain to sell to the imperial court." or if there is a shortage of catties or two, and adulteration is made in them, the officials who buy them will certainly not be killed, and you will also be punished. Greed can't be filled, I have given in, and I hope you will give me a face, and it will be beneficial for everyone to benefit together, and it is the right way. ”

"The villain understands!" The family hurriedly replied.

The problem of grain depots is the biggest problem in any era. There are food rats in all times, and in the final analysis, the intensity of clean government must be increased. This is something he needs to have a headache for, so he doesn't bother to continue talking nonsense with these families.

At this point, the meeting came to an end, and when the families left the mansion, they were all red-faced, and they obviously gained a lot
