Chapter 43 Planting Three Crops of Rice

Datang, Quanzhou.

?? Three months ago, this was originally a desolate fishing village harbor, but now, Fang Wenshu stood on this land, looking at the hot scene in front of him with some disbelief.

?? I saw that the original dilapidated harbor had been repainted, and everywhere I looked, there were workers in gray linen uniforms, resisting the fence, carrying tools, and carrying cement, doing their work in front of the wharf in an orderly manner.

??“ Where did so many people come from? Fang Wenshu looked at the spectacular scene on the dock and asked a person who looked like a master beside him.

??“ According to Master Shi's words, these workers were all peasant families in the south, whose families were hungry and poor, and the sergeants came to work at the wharf after posting notices from the south and adding newspaper propaganda. The master also hurriedly flattered.

??“ Oh? Fang Wenshu became interested again and asked, "Why don't these people farm at home, but come to work on the docks?" ”

?? This time I could ask the point, the master nodded and said: "Lord Thorn Shi doesn't know, since the three crops of rice brought back from overseas in large quantities, more and more farmers have tried to plant, although the taste of these three seasons of rice is not as good as the first season of rice, but it can't bear the large yield, now the farmers basically don't plant a season of rice, just waiting to buy the three crops of rice seeds brought back from overseas, these waiting farmers now have nothing to do, so they came to the dock to work." ”

?? Fang Wenshu was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Follow this official to ask about this people's situation." ”

?? Then a large group of people behind him surrounded Lord Thorn and walked towards the dock.

?? The more you walk towards the docks, the more workers you can see working in an orderly manner.

?? Some are repairing large ships, some are loading and unloading, and some are transporting materials.

?? No, there was an old man in his forties and fifties in front of him, carrying a large piece of wood towards the big boat by the sea.

??“ The old man, the old man. Fang Wenshu stopped the old man.

?? The old man didn't plan to stop, but when he looked back, it turned out to be an official man wearing an official robe and followed by a group of guards, who hurriedly put down the wood, lifted his trouser legs, and knelt down after shouting to meet the official master.

??“ The elderly don't have to be polite. Fang Wenshu smiled and said with a smile.

?? The old man didn't dare to do anything at all, but stubbornly kept kowtowing and saluting: "Meet the official." ”

?? Fang Wenshu had no choice but to go up and personally help the old man up, and asked kindly: "The old man doesn't have to make this big gift, the official just wants to ask some questions, what do you call it, where do you live, and how long have you been in Quanzhou?" Are you still used to it? ”

?? When the old man heard that the official just wanted to ask a few questions, he was no longer panicked in his heart, but he still said with some sincere fear: "Caomin Cai Dajiao, a person from Zhaojiazhuang in Nanling County, some time ago, his son's family letter told him that the grass people could earn some money to subsidize the family when they came to this Quanzhou wharf, and the grass people packed up and went to their son, and now they work in Quanzhou Shipyard, with a monthly income of 800 Wen, including board and lodging, and they are very accustomed to it." ”

??“ Oh. Fang Wenshu nodded when he heard this: "So, your son also works in the shipyard?" ”

?? The old man cowered a little and said, "What the official said is exactly. ”

??“ Is there anyone in the family who farms? Fang Wenshu finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

??“ If you go back to the official, there is no one at home to farm. Cai Da Cabinet said with some embarrassment.

??“ How should I pay the rent if I don't farm? Fang Wenshu asked curiously.

?? The old man seemed to want to defend himself, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The official doesn't know, now the overseas three-season rice seeds are coming, the first batch of seeds have matured, coupled with the continuous transportation of good seeds from overseas, almost many villages in Quanzhou have changed their seeds, and now there are basically no people planting a season of rice. ”

?? Fang Wenshu listened, nodded undeniably: "This official already knows, thank you for the old man's advice." ”

?? The old man was a little flattered in return, and almost knelt down and kowtowed again.

?? At this time, a team of guards hurriedly ran in the distance, and from a distance, they heard the fire chief at the front shouting: "Lord Assassin Shi, someone from Chang'an!" General Li Ji is now waiting in the Assassin's Mansion! ”

?? When Fang Wenshu heard this, he didn't care about saying goodbye to the old man, and hurriedly said to the guards around him: "Prepare for the drive!" Go home! ”

Li Jiduan sat in the hall of the Assassin's Mansion, and saw him tied his beard, his face was gentle, and he was wearing Qingpeng armor, but he was majestic.

Beside him sat several guests in long robes.

"General Mao Gong, why did His Majesty send us and other heavy troops in Quanzhou this time? Along the way, General Mao Gong was tight-lipped like a bottle, and we were so anxious. ”

I saw a purple-shirted guest in a fancy costume standing up with his fists clenched, he was the think tank of the Bingzhou Army, the governor of political affairs, Wang Dezhang.

Li Ji touched his beard and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, this time the trouble is serious, Your Majesty ordered me to come in person, and I also want to guard Quanzhou to prevent accidents from happening, you know, if this thing is promoted in the whole Datang, my Datang will be safe for all generations!" ”

The purple-shirted guest was in a fog when he heard this, and he wanted to continue to ask, but he heard a shout outside the hall, "Quanzhou Thorn History has arrived~!" ”

At this time, I saw a man wearing a piercing historical uniform, hurriedly entered the house, saw that the room was already full of people, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then clasped his fists and saluted: "Quanzhou Assassin Shi Fang Wenshu has seen the general." ”

"No need to be polite." Li Ji waved his hand casually, "I would like to ask you, has the matter of the three crops of rice ever happened?" ”

When Fang Wenshu heard this, he hurriedly replied: "General Hui, it is true, now those real rice fields have been promoted, and more than 4,000 households have planted this kind of rice in Quanzhou, and now the season has been harvested, please General Mingjian." ”

"Hmm." Li Ji touched his chin, "Lead the way ahead, I'm going to personally go and see this legendary artifact that ripens three times a year!" ”

"No." Fang Wenshu hurriedly dodged aside, vacated the position of the gate, and waited for General Li Ji to go out.

"Three crops in one season?!" At this time, the purple-shirted guest Qing reacted, took Li Ji's hand and said, "Three ripening in one season?!" General Mao Gong, these crops are now in Quanzhou?! ”

"Haha, Brother Chen Yuan doesn't have to be excited, just come with me to take a look, these three crops of rice are the grain products of the Tang Dynasty ordered by His Majesty, our task is to protect these good seeds, don't let outsiders take them." Li Ji held the purple-shirted Keqing's hand with an expression of victory.

"Good, good." The purple-shirted guest qing was also very excited, this season's three-cooked artifact seemed to have heard folk rumors and those newspapers boasted before, and this time he was finally able to see it with his own eyes. R1152
