The crowd gradually dispersed, and Wuji turned around, only to see Zhu Jiang and the others blocking in front of him, trying to say something.

Wuji smiled and asked, "What?" The two patriarchs heard that they wanted to send sweet potato seeds, but now they are reluctant to donate grain? Rest assured, the former grain will not be repaid, and now I will not ask for your food in vain. ”

Jiang Jiliang hurriedly said: "The county order misunderstood, how could the old man go back on his word, the old man and the others want to say that this sweet potato is twice a year, such a rich yield, it will definitely be sold to other places in the future, and the old man and the two want to seek the right to sell to other places from the county order." ”

Zhu Pengliang said yes again and again on the side.

It turns out that at that time, the distribution of salt, iron and other goods was controlled by the government, and when they wanted to come to this fresh species, it was naturally controlled by the government.

Wuji thought about it for a while and agreed. However, it is stipulated that only ripe sweet potatoes are allowed to be sold abroad, and sweet potato seeds are only allowed to be sold abroad after two years. At the same time, the government will take 50% of the profits and taxes within three years, and reduce it to 20% after three years. Fifty percent sounds very high, but fifty percent is quite low for the government's control of commodity profits and taxes that have doubled like salt and iron.

Zhu Jiang and the others left with great gratitude, and when they left, they repeatedly said that they would hand over the grain hoarded at home to the county government tomorrow.

Wuji has carefully calculated that even if a small amount of sweet potato seeds flow out from now on, it will normally take three to four cultivations, or even five to six cultivations, to have enough seeds for promotion and planting. That is to say, within one to two years, it is impossible for the feudal towns in various regions to get real military food income because of sweet potatoes, so Mowgli can win about two years ahead of the localities, which is the main reason why Mowgli is allowed to sell raw sweet potatoes after two years.

These days, I have been thinking about how to ask the elders of Badong to recruit soldiers, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily, and more than 3,000 people were able to get it at once, although even if the original Black Flag Guard was only more than 5,000 people, it was not enough to resist the attack of the feudal town, but Wuji knew that Badong only had this little strength, and the re-enlistment would be a wasteland.

It is gratifying that the 3,000 elites are voluntary, which is much better than the morale of forcibly conscripting 3,000 people, after all, they know what they are fighting for, that is, to keep their homes and the food they rely on for survival.

When Wuji returned to the backyard, he was stopped by Xu Shiming, who rushed over.

"Lord, it's ......a pity that you gave the distribution of sweet potatoes to the two patriarchs so easily." Xu Shiming looked like he hated iron but not steel. "Do you know how beneficial this rare thing seed is, it is enough to support the expenses of more than 10,000 troops as the expansion of the Black Flag Guard, compared to the thousands of stone grain of the two patriarchs, it is really ......."

Xu Shiming sighed in frustration, that image was as heartbroken as mourning.

couldn't bear to look at him uncomfortable, Wuji explained: "Master Xu, in a certain opinion, the distribution right of this sweet potato, don't do it." Sweet potatoes are originally for the benefit of the world, and they are not immediately promoted, although they are related to interests, but the main reason is that there are not many seeds. Moreover, once it is promoted by the state, it is impossible to control the outflow of seeds, and it is better to sell it after two years and extract some profits and taxes than to cultivate it in the states themselves. ”

Xu Shiming was not persuaded by Wuji, and wanted to continue to persuade.

Wuji changed the topic and ordered: "Master Xu, issue a notice tomorrow, and call the people for a free tasting of sweet potatoes in three days." ”

"Free tasting?"

"Yes, try the food, as long as you come, you will give it, one for each person, and it will be distributed by the yamen, and it will be arranged outside the yamen."

Wuji knew that Xu Shiming was heartbroken and the sweet potatoes in the library would be persuaded, and after speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Xu Shiming to stomp his feet in place and sigh, this is really a loser......

At this time, Wuji's heart had already been filled with the blue that flashed in Fang Cai's eyes.

I thought to myself, since you came to join in the fun today, I think you will definitely come in three days.

At this time, if someone looks at Wuji's face closely, they will find that the face is so .......

When Lu Shiyun and Xiaocui left the yamen, it was when Wuji agreed to send sweet potato seeds to the people of Padang.

Back at the hospital, Xiao Cui couldn't help but comment: "This little county order looks smart, but he actually gave away sweet potato seeds for free, which is really stupid." Well, well, the heart is not bad. ”

Lu Shiyun glared at her and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense." Thou knowest what thou shalt say. How could he not know the value of this thing, this thing can live tens of millions of people in the world, and there must be a purpose in giving it to the people for free. But in any case, this move is a great favor to the people of the world, which is enough to be admired. ”

Xiao Cui smiled slyly: "Since the little lady admires the little county order, he is exactly the same age as the little lady, so it is not as good as ......." ”

Lu Shiyun's face turned red, and she glared hard and said, "What kind of tongue to chew, don't go and pound the medicine." ”

Xiao Cui stuck out her tongue and walked away unconvinced.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye.

The county Chengtian Zhiquan came to report that the 3,000 stone of grain donated by Zhu Jiang and Jiang had been handed over to the warehouse.

The sweet potato tasting meeting began, and this kind of conference method has never been tried by the people of Patong County.

Early in the morning, everyone who hears the news comes to see it, and of course, they also taste the taste of sweet potatoes.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

There was a sea of people outside the yamen, and the scene was no less than three days ago.

The people who can come have come have come, and they are rushing to this place from afar. That momentum is not even inferior to the New Year's market and temple fairs.

It was a loss to arrange for the Black Flag Guard to start boiling sweet potatoes in the middle of the night, and it took ten stones to cook.

Those who see it have a share, and it is estimated that each person can get one. However, if the number of people continues to increase, it is estimated that it will not be enough.

Mowgli thought about distributing it quickly.

Before the distribution began, Wuji, as a parent official, naturally had to say a few words.

Jumped on the platform that Xu Shiming ordered to set up temporarily.

The bustling crowd of people suddenly fell silent.

Baili Wuji said loudly: "Folks, sweet potatoes will be distributed and planted next year, before planting, I invite you to taste, mainly to let you have an understanding of it." Sweet potatoes are sweet, can be baked, steamed, boiled, and added to sugar ice for sweet potato syrup, which can relieve hangover. Soaking sweet potatoes in salted water for an hour or two before boiling or roasting them can reduce discomfort such as pantothenic acid, bloating and gas after eating. The leaves of the sweet potato can be used as a dish, and the rest can be used to feed livestock. All in all, sweet potatoes are useful all over the body. Finally, the county wants to explain that the yield of sweet potatoes is high, so the upper and middle farmlands in this county are often planted with rice, cotton and linen, and the lower farmlands and barren lands such as hillsides are used to grow sweet potatoes, so that the people can not only eat enough, but also let the people live well with the crops in the upper and middle fields. If you can't use it, you can organize it and sell it to neighboring counties. Of course, it can only be sold in two years. ”

The people laughed heartily, and of course the laughter was good-natured.

Strange things can be inhabited, and everyone understands it. And as long as it is beneficial to the people, they will become very understanding.
