The village chief took people to the middle of the field to pick a few ears of wheat and handed them over to Kiritsu-sama for inspection.

The grains are full and hard, judging from these, this year's harvest must be very good.

The village chief told them that a rice field of this quality can harvest at least about 500 catties per mu, and Gu Banqin remembers that he once saw the yield of modern hybrid rice, and when it was 2,000 years, it seemed that there were 1,200 catties, but the technology at this time and at that time must not be compared.

I asked the village chief and said that in the past, when there was no such large-scale planting, some people could produce one or two hundred catties of rice per acre, and some people could produce about three hundred catties, and of course there were good ones.

Five or six hundred catties per acre of land, but that is a very small number of people, the fields here, after the unified improvement and control of the Ministry of Agriculture, the yield seems to be able to have an average guarantee, but this is only the first year, as long as the Ministry of Agriculture continues to improve in the future, it should not be a problem for an acre of land to produce an additional one or two hundred catties.

Gu Banqin came to Helian Hongyi's side and deliberately leaned over to look at Helian Hongyi.

I saw Helian Hongyi's gaze on the vast rice fields, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, this kind of smile Gu Banqin had only seen after he was done, it was a kind of satisfied smile, maybe even he didn't know that he actually had such a gentle side.

Helian Hongyi realized that Gu Banqin was looking at her, turned his head and glanced at her, Gu Banqin immediately gave a dog-legged smile, so that Helian Hongyi, who was originally strained at her, finally couldn't hold back, and glanced at her angrily, and then continued to look at the rice field, and said with feeling:

"In the past, I really didn't expect that the fields would be gathered, and the harvest would be so different, and the total amount of grain in a year would not only fill the granary, but also supply the food needs of all parts of the country, at least next year and the year after tomorrow, there would be no need to worry about famine, your theory is indeed far away, very correct."

Gu Banqin heard Helian Hongyi say these sincere words to her, it was the first time to hear him praise himself so sincerely, he smiled, and said modestly:

"I just have some theoretical knowledge in my head, and the real power is you, to implement those plans effectively, it takes too much energy, manpower, material resources, and financial resources, all of which are indispensable, and this is not my credit, but the master is still a good leader."

Helian Hongyi didn't want to boast to her here, Gu Banqin looked at the fertile fields full of eyes, and couldn't help asking:

"Ye said before that he would reform the scholar system, but now looking at this situation, it should be successful, what is the movement of the scholar clan?"

Helian Hongyi found a turbulent stone on the edge of the rice field, sat down, and said to Gu Banqin: "There must be movement, and the distribution of power of the Shi clan has also begun to change drastically. ”

Gu Banqin also sat next to Helian Hongyi and listened carefully to Helian Hongyi's words.

Looking at the vast rice fields, Gu Banqin could imagine in his mind that Helian Hongyi must have paid a lot of hardships in order to plan the fields in a unified manner.

The Shi clan had developed habits and rules for controlling the land over the years, and after the Helian family took over the world, they thought that the Helian clan would be as laissez-faire as the previous monarchs.

Occasionally, there are emperors who want to move the hearts of the family, but they do not have the strength and means of Helian Hongyi, and now the two clans of Shishu are in a hurry, and Helian Hongyi is in it every day, and he must feel very strong, so he will sigh this sigh.

Exhaling a breath, Gu Banqin followed Helian Hongyi's words and said:

"Today's chaos is to pave the way for the future, Helian clan has not long entered the customs, even if the ancestors have financial savings, but if they are just blindly reckless, the gold and silver mountains will have a day when the mountains are empty."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Helian clan, the morale was strong, and the surrounding and even domestic forces knew that the Helian clan was strong, and this was not the time to attack, but who can guarantee that it would not be in a few years? Only by constantly growing and accumulating can the Helian clan have the ability to continue to maintain such a great deterrent power in the future. ”

Gu Banqin's words must have spoken to Helian Hongyi's heart, Gu Banqin has such an awareness and thought, Helian Hongyi didn't know it on the first day, but he seemed to be more and more willing to listen to her, and felt that she could say what she thought in her heart every time.

Helian Hongyi has always made decisions in the court, and no one can influence his decision by the person who gave the order, but now he seems to be more and more willing to listen to Gu Banqin's words, but what he can't deny is that some of what Gu Banqin said is indeed very reasonable.

Liu Youcheng and Tong came over and said to Helian Hongyi and Gu Banqin:

"Master, madam, it's drying here, why don't you go to the farmhouse for a cup of tea." We'll be back in the city later. ”

Helian Hongyi stood up from the rock, Gu Banqin hurriedly stepped forward to sort out his clothes, and asked Master Tong, "Where are you going to go later?" ”

"Yes, ma'am. I'll be back in town to see your shop later. Kiritsu said with a smile.

Gu Banqin: ...... Question marks on the face - the store?

After drinking some tea in the farmhouse and resting for a while, the village chief reported to the village chief about the harvest plan for the next few days, and then the group returned to the carriage and hurried to the city.

Along the way, Helian Hongyi still didn't say much, Gu Banqin went to talk to him, he didn't pay attention to it, asked a few times, and Gu Banqin didn't dare to ask more.

Thinking that he couldn't hide it anymore when he got to the place anyway, but such a thing along the way was really naïve.

The journey back to the city seemed to be shorter than when he went, Gu Banqin knew that it should be a mood problem, and after the carriage stopped, Gu Banqin and Helian Hongyi got out of the carriage and found that the carriage was parked on Suzaku Street.

This street valley Banqin used to come to visit, selling clothes, jewelry, candied fruit and the like, the girls like things, since entering the palace, she really didn't have a chance to come out again, I didn't expect to take advantage of the light today and come again.

Gu Banqin's eyes searched left and right for the shops she used to frequent, selling silk and satin garments, gold and silver jewelry, and rouge gouache......

Every year on her birthday and New Year's Day, her aunt Duan will take her to see, and if there is a suitable one, she will buy it for her, although it is not a valuable thing, but Gu Banqin cannot deny that she has traveled to this era of scarcity of materials, and here on Suzaku Street, she still gained a lot of happiness and satisfaction.

Helian Hongyi glanced at Gu Banqin, followed her gaze, and did not speak, Lord Tong stepped forward to interrupt Gu Banqin's memories, only to see Lord Tong point out a direction to Gu Banqin and let Gu Banqin look over:

"Madam, take a look, this is it, the newly built shops of the government, that one is the center of Suzaku Street, the building is three stories high, is Madame still satisfied?"

Gu Banqin looked in the direction pointed by Master Tong, and really saw an extremely tall building, which was a sudden rise among the other floors of Suzaku Street, from the façade to the decoration, all of them were meticulously crafted, and there was a place for a plaque in the center of the second floor, and the visual effect was quite shocking.

Gu Banqin felt that she was frightened, and subconsciously leaned in the direction of Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi couldn't help but feel funny when she saw her unproductive appearance: "Didn't you want a shop yourself?" Why did you have stage fright? ”

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the store that was open but had not yet opened, and Gu Banqin hurriedly followed in small steps.

Once you enter the door, the previous tension is gone.

Get rid of Helian Hongyi, look east, look west, now this building is still empty, there is nothing in it, and the voice of Lord Tong sounds very empty:

"I just finished the work, and the inside has not been properly arranged, if Mrs. has any ideas, you can mention them to me, and I will let the craftsmen do it according to Mrs. wishes."

Gu Banqin leaned down from the staircase on the second floor and asked Master Tong:

"You mean, I can design it myself?"

Master Tong looked at Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi didn't speak, and Lord Tong knew what it meant, and nodded to Gu Banqin: "Yes, if Madam has an idea, you can tell me." ”

After Gu Banqin thought about it, she ran up and down to look at it again, and then walked downstairs and said to Master Tong: "I'll think about it after I go back, and if I have an idea, let the painter from the Ministry of Engineering draw it." ”

"Okay, then the subordinate is waiting for Madame."

There was no distrust in the tone of Lord Tong, Liu Youcheng heard from the side that Gu Banqin wanted to design it himself, and as a candy lover, Liu Youcheng also wanted to express some of his own opinions:

"I think not only the design aspect of the lady has to think about, but also the name, the lady's sugar making process, the types of candy, these are all things to consider."

Gu Banqin fully agrees with this idea: "Yes, yes, these also have to be considered, not only to sell sugar pastries, but also to make high-quality pastries by the way, such as when gifting relatives and friends, you will think of coming here to buy, and when there are distinguished guests at home, you will also come to buy, and it is limited, and you have to think of some gimmicks when the time comes." ”

"For example...... The pastry chef and the sugar chef are the imperial chefs from the palace? Or is there some mysterious formula? People will be particularly interested in this veiled thing, anyway, in a word, we must do a good job of publicity at the beginning, let the Department of Culture and Propaganda think of some ways to announce it through official channels, and you can also list this shop as a designated store for tribute...... When you think about it, you feel like there's money to be made. ”

After Gu Banqin said these words, he found that several men standing in the corridor were a little stunned, Helian Hongyi was the first to react, and smiled at Gu Banqin: "You're welcome, even the Wenxuan Division has calculated, and you have to be included in the designated store for tribute?" Where did you get this messy idea? ”

Helian Hongyi expressed his incomprehension and doubts about Gu Banqin's words, and Gu Banqin theorized with him for this.

"What's the mess? You haven't opened a store before, so why do you say my method doesn't work? Gu Banqin came to Helian Hongyi and looked up at him.

Helian Hongyi saw that her mouth pursed slightly, her cheeks bulged, and she couldn't help but choke with interest: "Have you ever opened it?" ”

Gu Banqin was choked by his words: "I, I have been walking around this street since I was a child, and I have been in contact with the market more than you, although I have never opened a serious store, but I know how to open it." ”
