Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Harvest
The sea breeze stopped, the sails were retracted, and for the first time he set foot on the land of the capital, Chen Jian was excited. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Not far from here, it is the place where I was buried in my last life, and I don't know if I can find it now, maybe it has already been eaten by insects and ants.
It's a very mysterious feeling, like not so long ago it was a barren place, but now it is a bustling city.
Time and space are distorted here, memories become meaningless, and Jian Chen doesn't know what kind of emotion he should make.
Under the scorching sun, Chen Jian was a little cold, and for the first time, he intuitively felt that the vicissitudes of life were so ruthless.
It took some time to get to the capital, and Hu Lin rode in the same carriage with him, and there was a large pile of goods that needed to be handled lightly and walked by water.
Those goods were both for sale and some things that were important to Jian Chen, which were expensive and significant.
Hu Lin found that there was something wrong with Jian Chen, and it seemed that he was preoccupied, so he said a few more words.
"What do you think?"
"Nothing. It's just a little emotional, after all, it's the first time I've come to the capital. ”
"If people don't come, fame has already come. What is there to worry about? ”
Hu Lin smiled and pointed to the city where the outline could be seen in the distance and said, "Since it is the first time to come, I have to look around." The prosperity of the capital is not comparable to that of Fujian. There are countless wealthy families, many noble families hundreds of years ago, and the ancestors of many families are characters whose names are left in books. ”
Jian Chen smiled, and said in his heart that I am very familiar with their ancestors, but I want to see if there are any who look alike.
Thinking of this, and thinking of the knot in the previous life, my heart is a little solemn.
Hu Lin proposed to take Jian Chen to go shopping first, but Jian Chen refused: "I have to go to the Academy Palace to visit Mr. first." ”
"Yes, that's right. I'll go to the Mincheng Hall first, arrange these goods, and meet some friends by the way. Don't you have friends here, so I won't accompany you. ”
"Hmm. All the things I brought with me should be sent to the Academy. ”
Hu Lin smiled: "What are you doing with these things?" Now that you're in the capital, you can always talk about it, right? ”
"It could be a toy, it could be something very important that changes a lot of things. I don't know exactly how. I'm probably going to be very busy these days, so we'll have to ask Brother Zhu for our business. Also, you must help me find a venue with a lot of people, lively and large enough open space as soon as possible, and there is no problem in spending some money. ”
Jian Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Among the goods brought, there are glass, some expensive silver mirrors, some glass screens, large glass mirrors and the like. Don't be stingy with these things, they are all customized from the workshop with my money anyway, and you can give them through your friends. You must know that these things we sell, these dignitaries and nobles are big consumers, so you have to start from them. ”
"I know that."
The two discussed some things that should be paid attention to, and made an appointment to meet at the Mincheng Hall in five days.
After entering the city, the two of them separated, and Jian Chen came to the school palace with a large number of strange equipment. After inquiring clearly, I headed for the wheat field of the agricultural department.
It is now the season when the wheat is ripe, and it has become a legend that the palace has spread all kinds of rumors about the two contrasting wheat fields.
When I got there, I saw Li Yun from a distance, dancing and talking about something near the wheat field, and there were a few young people next to me who thought they were his senior brothers and sisters.
A very old man was on the edge of a wheat field, coughing and rubbing the ears of wheat, carefully harvesting the grains for future weighing.
Although Jian Chen hadn't seen his husband, he knew that it should be, so he hurriedly walked over, made a big salute, and called Mr. Xiang.
Mr. Mu heard that someone behind him called his husband, but he had never heard the voice, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Jian bowing to the ground, respectful.
Even if they had never met, Mr. Mu knew that this was his disciple who was far away in Mincheng, so he stood up straight and accepted Jian Chen's big gift, so he called Jian Chen over.
There was no embarrassment in the meeting between the two, and Li Yun quickly brought his classmates over to meet Chen Jian. Jian Chen hurriedly took out all kinds of gifts, the senior sister was a round wooden box of silver mirrors, and the senior brother was a dressing box for women in the future.
The classmates had always heard that these juniors and disciples were rich, so they accepted the gifts excitedly, and they were amazed one by one.
These small mirrors are extremely delicate, embedded in wooden frames, and even more difficult is that the mirrors are smooth and translucent, which is completely different from the dimness of those amalgam tin mirrors.
Originally, Jian Chen gave these senior brothers and sisters a few gifts that were enough to leave their names in history, but now they are polite and thoughtful, and in an instant, these people dissolved the strangeness and greeted them cordially.
Jian Chen bowed again and said, "Sir, the disciple really doesn't know what to give Mr. and hasn't prepared any gifts." ”
Mr. Mu didn't care, and said with a smile: "I'm so old, what other gifts do I need?" You have come just in time, the wheat is ripe, and it is about to be harvested and weighed. You don't need to weigh it to know that the fertilizer worked, and if you look at the wheat fields in comparison, it's not worth mentioning. This is my favorite gift, and it doesn't get much better than this. ”
Jian Chen smiled: "I am soft-spoken, and some things still need to be said by Mr. Since this is a gift that my husband likes, then I am relieved. ”
"People are soft-spoken?"
Old Mr. Mu laughed, waved his hand and said, "Now you are not a small talker, at least in the school palace, many people know your name." Since you're here, you're ready to refute those people. ”
"Sir, disciple would like to thank you and all the senior brothers and sisters. If it weren't for your trust and support, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to speak now. ”
"So you mean you can talk now?"
"Almost."
"That's good."
While speaking, Mr. Mu looked at a large pile of wooden boxes and some messy things that Chen Jian hired someone to carry behind him, pointed to those wooden boxes and said, "What's inside?" ”
"Something that makes my words more credible. Sir, I ask you again this time. ”
"Say it."
"I want to do a few experiments in front of some people, but not just from our discipline, but also from other disciplines. The more the merrier. So I'm going to have to ask you to come forward and help me gather some audience. ”
"Yes. I just wanted to see what you were going to say. Are all the boxes in the back of you? ”
"Hmm."
Mr. Mu was already a little curious, so he circled around the box and said, "Then you let someone carry it over first, and I'll go find someone tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Today, I have to finish the things in this wheat field, and those red tapes will be freed, I am not very old, and I should do more practical things. Unlike you, you still have so much time to squander. ”
As he spoke, people from the agricultural department also came, and all kinds of harvesting tools were ready.
The appearance of the curved scythe has not changed much from the previous life, but the good iron used now has a good edge.
The two plots of land together are no more than three points, and one and a half points are very small.
More than a dozen people gathered around, trying to make sure that not a single grain of wheat fell to the ground, and the scales and all the tools for threshing were prepared.
Chen Jian subconsciously picked up a sickle, bent down and cut it, and someone laughed: "Will you?" ”
Chen Jian nodded, and said in his heart that in the previous life, this wheat was planted by me little by little, maybe this wheat seed is the descendant of the wild species I picked back then, and this sickle is still the first to be sharpened by me, where can it not?
There is a way to live and learn, the hardships of the previous life have not been in vain, at least in the future, no matter what, it is impossible to be industrious.
skillfully cut down a piece, and the speed was much faster than others, and many people who watched it were amazed.
There are many people and little land, and the harvest is quickly completed, and the ears of wheat are picked up one by one and divided into two piles for threshing and weighing.
Although we all know that this contrast is obvious, how much higher it can still arouse everyone's curiosity.
Not only the people here, but also many people in the school palace also heard the news, and they also knew that food was the foundation of everything.
Dozens of people stared at the golden wheat after threshing, smelling the special smell of the sun, and their emotions were surging.
The person carrying the scale carefully weighs it, making sure it is neither high nor low, and carefully reads the readings on it. One by one, the numbers were reported, and these people in the school palace who were proficient in arithmetic had already tacitly calculated the addition and subtraction in their hearts.
When the last small pile was weighed, everyone shouted in unison: "The yield per mu is about 800 catties!" ”
Many people are frightened by this figure, not that there is no such yield, but the vast majority of the land with such yields is extremely fertile with various fertilizers. However, the output of the vast majority of land is about two or three hundred catties, and the amount of eight hundred catties per mu is too amazing.
In particular, there is no manure and other fertilizers scattered in this field, only those strange crystals of various colors, which is beyond the imagination of many people.
Of course, the land is intensively cultivated, fertilized and watered perfectly. But even if you remove these and put them on ordinary land, there will be about five or six hundred catties of output, which is already quite amazing.
Out of caution, Mr. Mu carefully calculated, then stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay! Good! The road is right, as long as you follow this road, one day there will be no more hungry people in the world. ”
Jian Chen didn't want to ruin his interest.
Knowing that it would take at least two hundred years for all this to become popular, he didn't say anything, but just said: "Yes, maybe Mr. will see all this come true in ten years." ”
"Ten years? Hahahaha...... I'm afraid I don't have ten years to live. ”
When the disciples heard this, they were concerned and hurriedly said something else.
The gentleman didn't care, and said with a smile: "Who can not die in life?" Think before you die, you did a lot of the right thing, and that's enough. ”
He turned around, looked at Chen Jian and said with emotion: "Jian, to be honest, before I met it, I was not afraid of death at all." But when I met you, I was a little scared. I always felt that maybe a lot of things were about to change, but I couldn't see it. ”
Chen Jian thought about the emotion along the way, and sighed: "Sir, you are famous in history. History is endless, and the soul is immortal. As long as there are people in the world who hope that there will be no more hunger in the world, that is your soul and your eyes, and they will naturally see the world for you. ”
