Chapter 22: Sweet Potatoes

"Sweet potato, a crop with a yield of more than 30 stone per mu"

"Ridiculous! What kind of crop can yield 30 stones per mu, the old man is nearly 70 years old, and it can be regarded as a farming heirloom, at most, it is only three stones of grain per mu, thirty stones, it is really a big joke in the world! ”

Guozijian, a white-haired old master held a newspaper in his hand, and said to the prisoners below in pain: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, in the former Tang Dynasty, someone used gold leaf to drape the body of the dolphin, called the unicorn!"

How absurd, now there is a follow-up, and the latter, actually come up with something even more incredible, called auspicious!

Sweet potato? Hahahaha! If it really collects thirty stone of grain per mu, the old man will go to the person who took out this thing and lead the horse to the stirrup! ”

A student stood up and saluted: "What the teacher said is very true, the person who said this thing is just a grandstander, the teacher has a discerning eye, how can he be those people in the market who are easily blinded!" ”

Another prisoner also stood up and wondered: "It's just that what is said in this newspaper is rarely false, last time it was to say a gold mine, and then the world followed the map, and actually saw a gold mine, and there is no lie!"

It was also said that Huaixi Wang Qing had objections, and he could send 500 elite soldiers through the state and the province without the officials knowing, and they were all unaware, and there was a fight at the wharf in Jishui County.

There is also the name of this reporter, and the two articles are signed by Mr. Bai Niu In addition to Mr. Bai Niu, there is also a person called Jiutian Caifeng, but although this name is feminine, it also reveals a trace of domineering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And now this article, the signature is also the Nine Heavens Caifeng, although there is no Mr. Bai Niu, but I am afraid it is true! ”

"Don't say that Mr. Bai Niu is just a yellow-mouthed kid who tells a good story, but what has he done for the country and the people?" At this time, another prisoner stood up, and the halberd pointed to the student standing up in front of him.

This prisoner was one of the people who had a conflict with Chen Jincai in the Qinglou at the beginning, and he had suffered from his reputation because of Chen Jincai's accusations, and he was depressed for a while!

Now I have finally passed that hurdle and continued to return to Guozijian to study.

"For the sake of the country and the people, he created the doctrine of internal strength, which is different from the ancient lost Qi practice and what benefits to the body will you know?

You must know that you have practiced some internal qi with the meridian diagrams and theories spread by others, and your body, which has been sick for three days and ten days for a major illness, has not been sick once in three months until now, and it is the work of this internal qi!

Indeed, when you have received the favor of a man, and then you despise the other person, you are not the son of man! The second inmate who stood up pointed to the third inmate who stood up.

"Zhou Xiaoshi, you just practiced a little internal qi and lifted a hundred catties, so you don't need to maintain the so-called Mr. White Bull like this! Don't you think he can see your flattery to him? The third prisoner was so ridiculed by the other party, he was not angry in his heart, and scolded angrily!

It turned out that the second prisoner who stood up to speak for Chen Jincai was called Zhou Xiaoshi, and he didn't expect that this seemingly weak scholar was still a scholar who could lift a hundred catties, although he was still a scum compared to Confucius's great strength, but he had gotten rid of the ranks of the powerless chicken.

Hearing the third prisoner scolding himself for flattery, Zhou Xiaoshi smiled and said with disdain: "I'm just saying a fair word, if he says something else, Mr. Bai Niu, I have nothing to say, but as far as the fact that he announced this cultivation method, let a frail and sick person like you practice internal skills and become physically strong, he has a credit to the people!"

As far as the gold mine they disclosed last time is concerned, they have contributed to the country and made the country abundant, and before the disclosure of Huaixi Wang Qing that time, who would have thought that the Great Song Dynasty already had a country within a country!

In this way, can it still be said that Mr. Bai Niu has no merit with the country and no benefit to the people? ”

At this time, the old master on the podium reprimanded: "When you read the books of the sages, you should always show people with Sven, what is the use of cultivating those side doors and left ways, what is the use of the country, what is the use of the family, and finding the truth in the books of the sages is the right way!" ”

Zhou Xiaoshi arched his hand and said: "Teacher, but this cultivation method is beneficial to the body, shouldn't it be promoted?" ”

The old master was furious: "Zhou Xiaoshi, those things are suitable for a rude person like you to practice, a vulgar person!" ”

After speaking, the old master brushed his sleeves and left!

At this time, no one expected that there was a small guy around the corner outside the door, holding a pen and paper in his hand to write it all down, especially those conversations!

The little guy turned his head and left, and went straight to the manor where the giant eagle flew up and down outside Tokyo, and there were five big characters at the gate of the manor: Tokyo City Newspaper.

This is a coveted place, and the newspapers sent out here are of incredible value!

Just like the sweet potato news sent this time, if this is true, the crop of 30 stone of grain per mu is enough to make people crazy!

In fact, in the city of Tokyo, I am very curious about where the news of the Tokyo City Newspaper came from, and where did the newspaper come from?

Only the people in the newspaper office know that these newspapers are transported from afar by giant eagles, but each giant eagle can only send something weighing six catties, or four catties, and they can't deliver anything heavier.

It is said that these eagles can fly 400 miles per hour, and can fly to the distant Wangjiabao in five hours, and then change a batch of eagles from there and bring back the newspaper.

That's right! The place where the newspaper is printed is in Wangjiabao, and now it is Yueji and Xiaoluoluo who are in charge of this industry, as well as a few scholars.

The pen name of Jiutian Caifeng is her, the reporter's name and pen name, it was Chen Jincai who said it, saying that he would take another name like this, and he felt that it was more stylish!

As for what it means to have a fan, she doesn't know, but she feels that her husband said it, and there is always some truth, isn't the reporter the person who recorded it?

Shi Qian had already set off with more than a dozen eagles, and he wanted to send them all to each of the larger branches of the Yun family's trading house.

At this time, the first step in the world of warp and weft, of course, this is what the old man Wang Qi said.

And Chen Jincai's original words are, in order to get first-hand newspaper information, instant news!

Since Old Man Yun got the news that Chen Jin had just returned, he had already rushed to Wangjiabao, and Yang Zhi had contributed to the purchase of materials in the past few months.

His Yun family, in the Ming Dynasty, is a very large fur merchant in the Great Song Dynasty, and he can also get strategic materials such as horns and tendons, in order to make a lot of salt!

Because salt and iron and cloth and copper coins are among the coins here, and even copper coins are not as strong as it.

People say that in ancient times, there were two kinds of businesses that were the most profitable, one was selling salt, and the other was selling iron!

And the Yun family of the old Yun branch accounts for one of them, although it has only been in operation for a few months, the profits in it are enough to make people staggered.

Back to Wangjiabao, there is a large courtyard next to the castle lord's mansion, and there are printing tools in a large room, and a plaque is hung on the door: Printing Department!

Not far from the printing department there is a room with a plaque on it: Editorial Department!

And the staff in the editorial department are Yueji and Xiaoluoluo, as well as a few scholars!

Not far from the editorial office, there are eagle cage shelves, and there are many eagles standing idly on them, these are the trophies that Chen Jin got back after walking outside for a day, and there are still many eagles on the prairie desert.

There are more than a dozen old men who are waiting for these eagles, some are feeding, some are tying things to the eagles' backs, and some are unloading things from the eagles' backs.

An old man who was unloading something from the eagle's back suddenly found that there was news of turning back: "The person in charge, there is news from the newspaper office that is back!" ”

Yueji looked at the news in her hand, and had a little headache, so she went to find Chen Jincai, handed him the note in her hand and asked him what to do?

Chen Jincai looked at it and said: "Open a board for him and send all these to the newspaper, what our newspaper has to do is to be true, that is, to send the original words and let the world comment on them!" ”

"But this little guy is good, it's actually to repay the kindness, so he sent this news to the Tokyo City Newspaper, and the person who sold us newspapers in Tokyo City was also a good person!

Send a message to the past, and give that guy a place in the newspaper, a reporter's position! ”

"And let them collect the news of the sweet potatoes in Tokyo that question us, and also send them over to typeset, yesterday's issue introduced the old man Wang Qi, and the sweet potatoes they grew have thirty stones and one acre!"

"Today, I will introduce the origin of this sweet potato, as well as those potatoes that were stewed and eaten by the bear children, and I will say that this potato is better than sweet potatoes and can harvest fifty stones per mu!"

Chen Jin said this, and the old man Wang Qi, who was sitting on the side, said hurriedly: "No, the children took it to stew and ate it, it was the sand thief captives who touched it and roasted it when the cellar was expanded!" ”

Chen Jincai smiled: "Okay, okay!" I don't blame you, why are you in a hurry? Aren't there two left? ”

"Next year, cut these potato eggs into several pieces and sprout, and then you can grow a lot of seeds! You can't take out all the good stuff at once! Let's keep it for now, let's plant it for a few years, and then release the sweet potatoes first! ”

"Then tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, if you have collected enough news from the general newspaper, question or believe the sweet potato, and send it out in a page.

Then let the newspaper pay the authors who are in the newspaper, and then form a permanent rule, as long as the newspaper adopts your manuscript, you have to pay you, which is very fair! ”

"In the last few issues of the newspaper, the hot topic of our report is sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes that can harvest 30 stone of grain per mu! And don't forget to send out a paragraph of my smile! Send a few chapters! ”

Yueji, who returned to the editorial department, was in high spirits: "Let's arrange this, the origin of sweet potatoes, print it out, and see how many short-sighted people question our auspicious rui with a yield of thirty stones per mu, Mr. said, when they question it together, we will slap him in the face again!" ”

Several scholars were stunned: "How to slap your face?" (To be continued.) )
