Chapter 157: The Joy of the Harvest
"That's good, hurry up and promote it!" After listening to Li Han's theory of the industrial chain, Liu Che couldn't wait to shout.
Li Han said with a smile: "It's not so easy, whether it is the common people or the landlords, they are already used to planting crops they are familiar with, if you suddenly take out new seeds for them, they will not believe it, if they are forced by the orders of the imperial court, they will feel that this is the imperial court harming them." ”
Liu Che snorted angrily and said: "This is for their good, and when they harvest it, they will understand that it is not harming them." ”
Li Han shook his head and said: "Why bother so much, the people have a natural resistance to the imperial court, but whatever the imperial court insists, they all think must be wrong, on the contrary, what the imperial court prohibits is what those big landlords feel that they can take advantage of."
Moreover, they like to compare with the favored nobles, so they don't need to make an order from the imperial court to promote grain seeds, and wait for a few days for the imperial grandmother to participate in the harvest, and then the cousin has his own tricks, let them beg us to buy seeds, they beg us once or twice We don't sell them, and if they sell them, they have to sell them at a high price, so that they will cherish it, and they will take advantage of the loopholes in the imperial court and take advantage of our family's crazy planting. ”
Liu Che is still young after all, and he doesn't have the kind of knowledge of the inferior roots of the Chinese people that Li Han has mastered for more than 2,000 years, so he blinked his eyes and didn't understand, but Li Zhu pouted and complained: "Oh, I don't understand a word of what you're saying, people are in a hurry to taste the roasted corn that my cousin said, can you hurry up?" ”
Even if Liu Che had a hundred questions, it couldn't be worth the seriousness of Li Zhu's coquettishness, and he instantly forgot about the national economy and people's livelihood, and said urgently: "Then hurry up and get in the car and go back to the manor, and I will roast it for you myself." ”
Li Han secretly laughed at this little fat man, I am afraid that he will be in the Li family even more in the future, but he doesn't know if it will cause the dissatisfaction of the mother and daughter of Guantao, he can't help but want to remind Liu Che, but he turned his face and saw that the kid was boasting to Li Zhu about how capable he was. And Li Zhu completely believed it, his little face was full of admiration, which made the little fat man even more dragged by the appearance of 2580,000, and felt that it was nothing more than two little guesses, and he reminded him now that it was gossip, and that's it.
When they arrived at the manor, Fang Yue and his wife had already heard the report of the subordinates, greeted them at the door, and took a large family in.
Over the years, the construction of the estate has become more large-scale. The vegetables in the greenhouse have now become the only and largest supplier in Chang'an City, and every day there are trucks carrying fresh vegetables into Chang'an, and they are sold in the vegetable supplier shop opened by the Li family, and it is not the turn of ordinary people at all.
Fang Yue agrees with the "hunger sales law" said by his son-in-law, so no matter who asks for it. No matter how the rich businessmen paid the deposit to raise the price, they just refused to expand the planting.
Since the death of the eunuch, Fang Yue has become a wise and wise person, facing Chen Yun's encroachment on the Li family's shop. During Li Han's absence, although his eldest son-in-law Liu Qing had improved and manufactured soft toilet paper and crisp white paper, he advocated all the inventory. None of them are listed on the market, but they devote more energy to the cultivation and planting of new grain varieties.
Moreover, in the face of rumors again and again that Li Han is dead. Fang Yue always firmly believed that his son-in-law was not so easy to hang up, and sure enough, he expected it.
After sitting down, the young people divided into waves, and they had already occupied the stove where the meat was cooked, and one by one they followed Li Han's example, tied the corn cob with lattes, stuffed them into the stove, leaned against the stove, and slowly baked them with the residual temperature of the firewood.
After a while, the aroma was fragrant, roasted until the corn was golden and slightly charred, and it was taken out and knocked on the stone slab, and then it was stuffed into the mouth and gnawed, and it instantly let out an exclamation of admiration, and the little faces of the food were dark and black, but they never got tired of it.
The adults are much more elegant, the tender corn that was broken back made Li Da and his wife boil a big pot, and a large pot of golden cancans was served, everyone was full of praise while gnawing, Li Shan couldn't wait to get a batch of autumn grain seeds to be sent back to Henan for planting, and did not delay the study of marriage events.
Fang Yue and his wife were very pleased to hear Li Wan convey Li Han's attitude towards marrying, they had already accepted the fact that their daughter wanted to be the same as the princess's wife, even if Li Han married Liu Lian first and then married Fang Yuxiu according to the queen mother's wishes, they could only agree, and now Li Han took the initiative to marry together, which is of course their greatest wish as parents, and they can't help but be more satisfied with Li Han.
Agreeing on the details of the wedding was the most popular issue for the adults, and when dinner was served, they had just talked about how to arrange the wedding room of the two brides, and Li Han came in and felt a little embarrassed to hear it, so he had to run out to play with the children again.
The next morning, a small chamberlain came over to deliver a decree that the emperor and the empress dowager would come to the Li family manor to participate in the harvest of new grain seeds, and asked the Li family to arrange the reception in advance.
At this moment, the Li family manor completely lost its calm and lazy life, and everyone fell into a crazy and busy state, but all the subordinates were willing to be assigned by the master to become a spinning top, and their faces were still extremely excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood-the emperor and the queen mother are coming! It's worth it!
Now it was too late to build a palace for the royal family, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty was not so extravagant and wasteful when he went on tour, so Li Han cleaned up the new baking room built in the center of the manor and put on the new furniture unique to the Li family.
I am afraid that the queen mother is not used to the sofa, or according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, but with a soft and comfortable mattress instead of bamboo mats, placed a few soft cushions and cushions, the wall is pasted with Liu Qing according to the technical method given by Li Han to make successful wallpaper, in fact, it is a mulberry paper with high toughness, white with a slight yellow, leaning on it is very smooth, and it looks very atmospheric.
The room is very spacious, so on the other side, there is a sofa coffee table, and there are eight immortal tables and chairs on the left side, in short, it is in line with everyone's habits, making a hodgepodge of ancient and modern things.
Inside is blocked by a delicate screen style, and there is a large bed with a width of one meter and eight meters at the back, and the bed is also furnished with comfortable mattresses and pillows, in case the Queen Mother is tired and wants to take a nap.
The room between the emperor and his mother, Li Han did not deliberately clean up the luxurious and comfortable, but cleaned up his laboratory, put the experimental facilities in the front half, and put furniture and beds in the second half, so as to fully satisfy the emperor's curiosity and strive for the greatest support.
As soon as he lay down, Fang Yue suddenly remembered one thing, and hurriedly got up and knocked on Li Han's door, called him up and said: "Han'er, tomorrow the queen mother and the emperor will come over, and the ministers will definitely chase after them, we seem to have forgotten to give them a place to rest." ”
Li Han smiled ghostly: "Dad, I just want them to chase after me, so as to arouse their greed!" We won't give them a place to rest, lest we think we know in advance, so let them sit on the ridge. ”
Fang Yue understood after thinking about it, and pointed at Li Han's head and said, "Sometimes I always think that you are older and spicier than me, but don't be a sperm." ”
Li Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, ghosts and spirits only deal with outsiders, and honest people suffer." ”
Fang Yue shook his head and went to sleep, early the next morning, the families of the Li family manor had already gotten up early, with sharp sickles, shovels, hoes and other farm tools designed by Li Han and made by the blacksmiths raised in the family workshop, a large pot of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, and a large bamboo basket of snow-white steamed buns were set up in a yard for them to eat as they pleased.
Wei Tu now has no trace of the original butcher's atmosphere, wearing a dark scribe robe, wearing a square scarf, smiling and patrolling his territory as the head of the village, from time to time snatching a piece of meat from a villager's chopsticks and stuffing it into his mouth, while eating and saying: "Look at the overlord, no, look at the place within the radius of Chang'an City, which family has meat to eat every day like our family?" The pork of our pig farm is eager to be ordered by the nobles of Chang'an City, it is a pig raised by the secret recipe taught by the uncle, it is not fishy at all, it is cheap for you, you have to do it well! ”
The villagers all agreed, no one felt that what Wei Tu said was exaggerated, their days were indeed envied by everyone, and I don't know how many relatives wanted to invest in the Li family manor, and when the time came, they had to count on Steward Wei to raise their noble hands, how could they not flatter, and echoed them one by one, making Wei Tu's chin higher.
Li Han looked at it from a distance and thought it was funny, but he didn't plan to beat Wei Tu, he felt that when his life and death were uncertain, these old family members could guard this family wholeheartedly, and this was enough.
People, who doesn't have vanity, what's wrong with showing off their might, as long as they don't have a black heart like Chen Xu's housekeeper.
At the end of the hour, Wei Tie, who was inquiring about the news at the gate of Chang'an City, ran back and reported: "The emperor's car has already left the Bacheng Gate, I am running fast, it is estimated that they are now almost at Baqiao." ”
Li Han gave an order: "Go, go to the ground!" ”
The farmers agreed, and they all walked towards the fields with excited faces.
Li Han took his family and hurriedly got into the carriage and greeted him until he reached the edge of the Baqiao, and it didn't take long for the emperor's car to arrive.
The first is the thirty-six guards holding high the guard of honor, followed by the queen mother and the emperor's five chariots, including the imperial chariot, the imperial chariot, the imperial sedan chair, etc., although Liu Qi has been very simplified, but still came to the palace maid eunuch plus more than 300 people in the front and rear guards, and the team spread for a long time.
Li Han was dumbfounded, thinking that so many people had gone to the ground, and they hadn't trampled on their crops! (To be continued......)
