Chapter 215: A Great Harvest (2)
When Inugami Mita heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this really the case?" β
Pharmacist Huiri shook his head and said: "It's been a long time, I don't remember it very clearly, but I think I can give it a try, in case this rice seed can be harvested twice, then the grain yield will be even higher, and then our group will definitely go down in history, we brought the high-yield rice seeds back to Dongying, and we are the heroes of Dongying." β
When Inugami Mita heard this, he nodded and said, "Don't make a noise for the time being, I'll go back and deal with this matter." "The ups and downs of life have made Inugami Mita more cautious, and if he didn't take me ten percent, he wouldn't talk nonsense.
After that, Inugami Mita personally found the person who interceded with him before, and kept the rice stubble, personally sent someone to take care of it, and waited for the miracle three months later.
The lord of the country ordered people to cook with the newly harvested Datang new rice, and they were addicted to eating, but they thought of keeping it as seeds for next year, so they had to hold back. I can only wait until next year's bumper harvest to eat such delicious rice every day.
Dongying was very happy, but they never dreamed that these rice could only be eaten, and could not be made into seeds at all, just like the eunuchs in the harem, without that work, how could they still plant and have children! Just let them be happy for a while longer.
I have to admire Li Er's high skills, I have thought of these in advance, otherwise according to the prosperity rate of super rice, within five years, one pound of rice can be planted all over Dongying. If the basic food and clothing of the people are solved, society will make great progress.
Let's not talk about the situation here in the Wa Kingdom!
During this time, Liu Weifeng was very excited, and all the granaries at home were full, which once again proved that his decision was right, and now he not only has a salary. The harvest in the field is even more, and now the rations are not finished, and I heard that there is a second crop, and it is estimated that it will be able to eat until the end of next year.
Since there was food, only lunch was provided on the construction site, and breakfast and dinner were all eaten at home, and the imperial court was not obliged to support them anymore.
Liu Weifeng's small shop has a complete range of things, all kinds of daily necessities are in demand, and the business is very good. The people have money in their hands. I always buy some daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Liu Weifeng, who made money, also took advantage of his free time to give Zhao Wu some gifts, which was regarded as a thank you for Zhao Wu's reminder before, and he regretted a little why he bought a shop at that time, he knew that it was so profitable, and he should go to other villages to buy a few more sets of shops next to the small square.
"Brother Zhao Wu. This is a small courtesy, please smile. Thanks for the reminder. My grocery store is doing a good business. Liu Weifeng personally sent a four-color gift, showing sincerity and sincerely befriending a little person like Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wuhan smiled heartily, waved his hand again and again and said, "This is what I should do, Uncle Liu, don't be polite." "It's the first time he's been treated like this, and he's a little embarrassed.
"It's a little bit of our heart. If you don't accept it, you don't treat me as your own, I see that you are also a person, and when you are free, you come to my house to drink. Guaranteed to make you drink to your satisfaction. As soon as Liu Weifeng put his things down, he was ready to leave.
When Zhao Wu saw it, he had to accept it, and said, "Uncle Liu, when I get off work in the evening, I just went to your house to ask for a glass of water and wine." β
"That's good, good wine and good food in the evening." After Liu Weifeng finished speaking, he walked away.
Liu Weifeng opened a grocery store at home, and there was no shortage of anything, so he prepared a few good dishes, took a few bottles of wine, and waited for Zhao Wu to come.
Zhao Wu, this kid is also sensible, and when he came, he brought a few boxes of snacks over.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Wu said softly: "Uncle Liu, I recently heard our big shopkeeper inadvertently say that after a while, a lot of machines will be shipped from Chang'an and ready to open a textile workshop. β
"Is it weaving?" Liu Weifeng was curious, with a weaving workshop, the fabric might be cheaper.
"Yes, cotton, just use the cotton we grow here to weave cloth, ready to recruit some people, and the wages are very high." Zhao Wu whispered, he would never say it to ordinary people.
"Very high? Is it higher than we build boilers? "Liu Weifeng and several righteous sons all do technical work, and the salary is high.
"The weaving mill only recruits female workers this time, and only male workers are recruited unless they work hard together." Zhao Wu said with a smile, this weaving workshop and woolen workshop should be about the same, and there are more women than men.
"Recruiting female workers?" It was the first time Liu Weifeng had heard that he had never recruited a woman to work.
"You think, weaving requires ingenuity, we men have thick hands and feet, not as flexible as women, not to mention that now we use weaving machines, which are more demanding, and men can't do it." Zhao Wu explained, "Don't you know that the kid saw a woolen workshop in Bagua City last year, hundreds of machines, driving together, booming, very spectacular." β
"Hehe, Brother Zhao Wu, you are young and have a lot of knowledge." Liu Weifeng praised.
"How many times have you said it, Uncle Liu, in the future, you can call me Wuzi, or Zhao Wu, but you can't keep calling me Brother Zhao Wu, I'm embarrassed." Zhao Wu said with a little shame.
"Okay, Wuzi, uncle won't be polite to you anymore. How much does this recruit female workers? Liu Weifeng asked, anyway, there are all women inside, even if you go to work, it's nothing.
"If it's good, I can get two taels of silver a month, and like you, I will work for six days and rest for one day. If you work overtime, you can earn three to four taels a month. If there are women in your family, over 13 years old and under 30 years old, you can sign up, and you will be able to leave your hands and feet flexible after screening. Zhao Wu reminded.
Knowing that Zhao Wu was reminding him, Liu Weifeng smiled bitterly: "I don't hide it from your martial arts, you don't know, I brought two hundred people, most of them are men, old people and children, and there are not many women of appropriate age." "Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone back to rob the girl from Daliu Village at that time.
By the way, he has to marry the future daughters-in-law of Daliu Village as soon as possible, and let the daughter-in-law learn to weave, so it's okay, it seems that he will have to propose a total tomorrow.
"Uncle Liu, you are now a big family in Cuizhu New Village, you don't have it, but there are more than 200 households in the village, there are always women of appropriate age, you leak this news and sign them up, in the future, you will belong to the level of the village chief in this village, and it is natural for everyone to nominate you as the village chief in the future." Zhao Wu is reminding Liu Weifeng that after all, more than 200 people need Liu Weifeng's care, and as the head of the village, even if he doesn't bully others, he won't let others bully him.
Liu Weifeng felt that it made sense, nodded and said: "Thank you, Wuzi, thank you for providing this information to your uncle, in the future, whenever you are free, come here to your uncle, and guarantee that you will have wine." β
"It just so happens that my family is in Chang'an, and it's good to see that this place is good, and I am ready to settle here. We have seven brothers in our family, and we don't have much land at home, so I'm going to settle down here, buy a yard, and take my fiancΓ©e over. Zhao Wu said with emotion, there are a lot of people in Chang'an, and they are crowded together as a family, which is a lot of inconvenience.
"Oh? So where do you buy a house? Liu Weifeng was very happy when he heard that Zhao Wu was going to stay, and he also had the heart to explain Liu Wu.
"Hehe, the kid sees that Uncle Liu is righteous and bold, and he can take care of him in the future, so he bought two houses in Cuizhu New Village, and one of my brothers may follow me when the time comes." Zhao Wu replied.
"Well, it's not bad here, you can get the field now, it's good to be here, and you're familiar with this place, and it's easy to find errands." Liu Weifeng said with a smile, "You can rest assured, as long as we are in Cuizhu New Village, we will help each other." β
Not only did Zhao Wu send letters to his hometown, but many homeless people now have a stable life, and they also wrote letters to their hometowns to see if they could hear back from their hometowns. It is estimated that more people will pour into Hebei and other places soon.
Just when the eldest grandson was busy harvesting, Xiao Rui came over with Du He, Wei Shuyu, Qin Huaiyu and other juniors from Congwen.
"Hey, the fourth son of the Tang Dynasty, why do you have time to come over today?" Changsun Chong laughed and teased, after these people arrived here, they thought of a paradise, without restraint, acting freely, and not seeing a human figure. When you are busy with political affairs, you can also take the opportunity to travel in the mountains and rivers and increase your knowledge.
"Things are on track, and they can be handed over to the generals below, so I dare to come over to discuss something with Brother Chong Xian." Xiao Rui said with a smile.
"What the hell, you four came here together, and it made my heart furious." Changsun Chong put down the pen in his hand and listened to the conversation of several people.
Xiao Rui smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but in the process of inspection, I saw that although the school was built, because there was no lack of masters, ten rooms and nine empty, so a few of us thought, can we become the masters of these schools?" The four of us, plus some of the literate people below, can evenly produce twelve people, which is enough to run half of the school. β
The eldest grandson thought about it, these people's knowledge is completely fine, but I am afraid that they have done enough in a few days as masters and will not teach, then so many children will be in the school at that time, and they will be very pitiful, and it will also make the people dissatisfied with the imperial decree.
"Yes, but it's not a matter of a day or two, at least after the autumn harvest, and then someone will come to replace you in four months." Changsun Chong reminded that he hoped that these people would understand that if they couldn't persevere, then don't do it.
Wei Shuyu was gentle and elegant, much better looking than his father Wei Heizi, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Xian, we know that once we take over, we can't break our promise in a short time, we will hold on until the autumn harvest, even if no one comes to take over the autumn harvest, our brothers will continue until someone comes to take over." β
"The turmoil in the late Sui period caused the people to be displaced and left in ruins. Talent is needed everywhere now, and if we have the ability to do so now but do not work hard for it, will we not live up to Your Majesty's expectations. Xiao Rui said emotionally, it was a little sad to see those children running around the mountains and fighting. (To be continued......)
