Chapter 424: Peony
These are some of the new agricultural tools in her impression, many of the principles are already well known in modern times, she drew a rough idea based on her impression, and then asked Shangguan Tuyu to make it and experiment.
Fan Taozhu said: "What to promote? ”
Shangguan Tuyu said: "What Jin'er means is that she can do good deeds, but it is impossible for her to spend money to do it all the time; But if a city only does one or two, others may not have the money to follow suit...... But if the imperial court comes to do it, it is afraid that the corpses of officials in various places will not be able to promote it. ”
Fan Taozhu sighed and said to her: "You just think too much, you didn't have these before, and you didn't delay farming, but it was a little slower and more laborious, so we directly made the drawings public, and if we think it is cost-effective, we will naturally save money to do it." ”
Inside, Yan Baiwei coughed lightly.
Tang Shijin raised his eyebrows.
Fan Taozhu and the others also heard it, and Fan Taozhu said: "Then let's do this first, I'll go back to Qingqing first, and come to find you at night." ”
Tang Shijin said: "Huahua'er doesn't have to go in a hurry, I'll think about it again." ”
Shangguan Tuyu answered, and the two went out.
Tang Shijin came in and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Baiwei took the drawings, looked at them one by one, and said: "You don't use the means of the rivers and lakes, it's too laborious, after the palace banquet, before Wang Weishi and they take action, just let the father-in-law hand it over, and as soon as the government sticks it outside, the craftsmen will naturally see it, and they will make profits...... Mainly in this way, it is also a direction, which is much more labor-saving and natural than Wang Xianshi's direct summary. ”
Tang Shijin had nothing to do: "Okay, then you go back and tell your father-in-law." ”
Yan Baiwei snorted, put it away casually, and asked her again: "You will go to Jiangnan after the palace test?" Wouldn't it be too late to get to twenty at the earliest? ”
"It's a little late," Tang Shijin frowned: "I originally heard that the palace examination is the first day of the first month of March!" In that case, I went to Jiangning Mansion before the 10th day of the first month of March, but I didn't expect this time to be on the 15th of March. This is indeed a bit late, because after I arrived, I still have to talk to Wang Shenxing about this, and he still has to arrange arrangements over there, so why do you have to have five or six days, right? It was delayed until the end of March, it was too late, I had to ask Ling'er to go early. ”
Yan Baiwei asked strangely: "Even if it is the tenth day of the first month of March, isn't it too late?" ”
"The 10th day of the first month of March is just right," Tang Shijin said: "I asked someone to check, in the area of Jiangning Mansion, as soon as the big landlords start farming on the third day of March, and most of these tenant farmers have their own fields, and they have to plant their own after planting for the owner, while ordinary farmers are used to starting to plant from March 3 to March 15...... In this way, a batch of plants will be completed by the tenth day of March. The number of seeds is limited, and the whole seed is definitely not enough! So that's just right, I'll sign a deed and give the seed out on credit. ”
"And this time I only push the city rice, I can plant twice a year, the difference will be obvious in the process, more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then the second season to buy seeds, are people with certain assets, have a family and a business, and it is also easy to manage, so that the next step of promotion is also easier."
Yan Baiwei was slightly stunned at first.
Because that's obviously not her way.
First pick a part of the big landlord's field to do, which is obviously easier to control, convenient and labor-saving, and not easy to have problems.
On second thought, he understood.
If the big landlords are picked first, then in the follow-up, they will see profitable seeds, and they will definitely not be willing to sell them to these local farmers who have no money, and the pressure is equivalent to telling them to make less money and not exert pressure, at least for two or three years, the local farmers will not be able to grow new grain, and at that time, she may not be in Jiangnan, and there will be nothing to do.
And if she uses this way, it is equivalent to planting the poorest people in the first batch, and it is equivalent to planting for her, except for some extreme people, there will generally be no problem. And then as she said, the follow-up purchases are all with some surplus money, and it is indeed more convenient to promote.
Yan Baiwei said softly: "Shall I ask someone to transport some from Maozhou?" Mix your to sell and plant all the new grain in Jiangning Mansion this season? ”
Tang Shijin was silent for a moment.
The purpose of her return to Jiangnan is to bring the important interest group of Jiangnan officialdom into her hands step by step.
Therefore, it is mainly about doing business.
And the improvement of grain varieties is not for the sake of fame and reputation, but for the sake of the world, and to make Jiangnan richer and more weighty.
Because the path is different, she doesn't need "reputation".
Tang Shijin said: "In that case, I will go back and ask Xiao Tanhua to go back, meet Wang Shenxing, persuade him, let him send people to preach everywhere, ask if anyone wants to buy new grain, you can owe it on credit, and after the harvest, directly repay the same amount of seeds without interest, and the rest, the government will also collect something at the market price, in this way, it will also attract a group of extremely poor people who can't afford to buy grain seeds, and there may be some fields." In short, there are all walks of life. ”
She paused: "In order to avoid too few people, you can make some seeds." Then you will summon Maozhou and tell them to rush here, and I will go over to cheat in the middle. ”
Yan Baiwei nodded: "Yes." ”
Tang Shijin thought about it and said: "Wang Shenxing is here, but there is no need to be too anxious, first deal with March 3, there is a wind direction in the sky, so what I do is more reasonable, at least it is not premeditated." ”
Yan Baiwei nodded.
He said, "Shall I go with you in the evening?" ”
"No," Tang Shijin said, "I'll take Ling'er there." ”
Yan Baiwei didn't insist: "Then I'll go find my father-in-law." ”
Tang Shijin nodded.
Fan Taozhu came to pick them up at night, and when they didn't really have to wait, it was dark, and the three of them went out of the city directly.
The farm I bought was very large, a little far away from the capital, and it was divided into several areas, so as soon as I got busy, it was past the ugly time.
The ban in the capital is three watches, and the fifth watch is opened, that is, the city gate is closed at zero o'clock, and Yin Zheng opens the city gate at four o'clock, which is about five o'clock in the morning.
Tang Shijin sat in the room for a while, and asked, "How did you clear the field?" ”
Fan Taozhu was still immersed in the shock of the big change, and it took a long time before he replied: "I said that my son is about to start busy, celebrate today, drink wine and eat meat, don't worry, I have asked people to check them one by one, and no one will wake up." ”
Tang Shijin nodded, and asked Qi Yaoling: "Ling'er, why don't we go back?" Otherwise, we will have to wait more than an hour. ”
Qi Yaoling said: "Okay." ”
So the two left directly.
In fact, Tang Shijin quite likes this kind of anti-scientific light work, flying eaves and walking on the wall or something, I feel that I am very handsome and powerful.
The two of them ran all the way to the city gate, and then went through the city gate to enter, and met a city guard officer and soldier, I don't know if he was too drunk, holding the battlement and crying: "Peony, peony ......"
Tang Shijin couldn't help but skin for a moment, and whispered: "Eh! ”
While quickly sliding down the city wall, the man shouted for a long time: "Peony! ”
Tang Shijin couldn't laugh.
Running back all the way, they were also a little tired, so the two walked forward slowly.
In the middle of the night, the only thing that has a little light is the Qinglou, Qi Yaoling also said: "Master, should we ......?"
Before I finished a sentence, I heard someone say, "There it is!" ”
The two glanced at each other, quickly flashed to the side, and jumped into the courtyard next to them, and after a while, several people wearing brocade clothes and uniforms came over, quickly dispersed, and searched around.
