Chapter 242: The Beginning of Change
Li Shi's words are single, everything is based on the position of the imperial court, it does sound like it does mean not remembering personal gains and losses, and it is a classic official opening statement that is extremely unkind, I have heard this a lot, and I have long been accustomed to it.
"Ah...", I have to bow my hand to this word, "It's extremely level, the little brother is abrupt, or he can't turn this corner after thinking about it?" On the issue of position, Brother Li's mention of this point, I only felt that the front suddenly opened up, and the place that I couldn't understand before immediately had a fixed number in my heart, and I was taught, and I was taught. ”
"Oh?" Li Shi nodded with a smile, "I want to hear about it." ”
"Oh, yes." I slapped my head, "I haven't seen Brother Li this time, the younger brother is busy and dizzy, and as soon as he comes up, the court and the Ministry of Industry don't stop, and he doesn't even have time to say a common word, sin, sin." ”
"Sin? Ah," Li Shi clasped his hands and smiled, "too, too." Since he came, there is no reason to abolish personal interests for public business. The first time this agricultural science came, Zihao wanted to do the duty of the landlord, take me around to open my eyes, and reminisce about the old days by the way. ”
"That's, that's how it should be." stood up and was about to push the door to lead the way, when he met Chang Gui coming in, and when he saw that I had a guest, he hurriedly avoided it. "No need," called Chang Gui, and the two introduced each other to ask Chang Gui what he meant.
Chang Gui's face was full of joy when he returned, "Back to the young eunuch, last year, a few cabbage seeds were ripe and ready to be harvested." ”
"Last year? Isn't it shoveling for the superintendent? "It's incomprehensible. Glancing at Li Shi, Li Shi smiled and nodded, "Okay, good." Lead the way ahead and go with me and Master Li. ”
On the way, I listened to Chang Gui's explanation to understand the reason, and last year's several Chinese cabbages were all safely cared for by experts in addition to being taken to make dumplings. Under the soaking of the rain that day, the soil was sparse, and Lao Liu shoveled the cabbage when it sank vigorously, and did not hurt much of the root system, and the lucky cabbage research team carefully peeled off the dry leaves and rose to the top when the spring warmed. I replanted the Chinese cabbage for the winter, but I didn't expect it to be all stemmed and flowered, and it seems that this time it was really a big prize.
"Three catties, two taels and six dollars?" Li Shi squatted on the field with great interest and listened to Chang Gui tell about the cultivation process, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that one of the cabbages forcibly harvested last year weighed three catties. "According to this estimate, how much is the yield of an acre of land?"
Chang Gui peeked at me, and when he saw that I had no objection, he replied reassuringly: "This... Because the project has not been carried out for a long time. Haven't gotten the exact yield yet. Since Mr. Li asked, I had to roughly estimate that according to this row spacing and size, the yield per mu should be about 3,000 catties. ”
"Don't occupy the grain fields?" Li Shi was very interested in this new species, squatted next to the flower stem to observe carefully, and asked: "Is it convenient to store in winter, that is, ordinary people can store it?" ”
"Ordinary farmhouses can store everything, and this can be guaranteed. From harvesting to spring. Only one and a half of the amount is reduced under the cellar, while the indoor storage is about two and a half times, except for the two layers of leaves, which are dry and do not affect the usable part. Chang Gui said that he took the cabbage cultivation log from the special record desk in the field, "As for the grain field." If this method is used to retain seeds, even if it has little impact, each household only needs to open up about half a cent of the field is enough. ”
"When the trial is successful and the conditions are ripe. Consideration could be given to the distribution of rapeseed by agronomy where conditions permit. "This is a good opportunity to get into the topic, and I squatted aside to pick up Chang Gui's words. In this era, vegetable seeds were actually sold by the people, and small farmers generally opened up a piece of land in their own courtyards to cultivate rapeseeds, as long as it did not affect the planting area of grain, the government did not control it.
"Since it's rapeseed, it doesn't hurt to sell it." Li Shi took a few vegetable seeds from Chang Gui's hand, spread them on the palm of his hand and observed, "The Ministry of Industry has great authority." I can't care about the vegetable seeds. ”
The words are good, but from Li Shi's standpoint, he is a little irresponsible to the unit he is loyal to. Such a good opportunity not to say to take some benefits from yourself, at least to gain a reputation, after all, agronomy is still a subordinate institution under the Ministry of Industry in terms of reputation, and it is not easy to shirk if people do not fight for this belonging to agronomy. Li Shi is such an employee, who eats whose food smashes whose bowl.
"Our family doesn't speak two words, and we can't achieve such results without the help of the Ministry of Industry. Even if the authority of the Ministry of Industry is limited. Since Brother Li is on business on behalf of the Ministry of Industry today, he should also report to Brother Li. Saying that, he gave Changgui a look.
"Yes. Be. Chang Gui immediately agreed: "It should be so, it should be so." ”
That's right, no matter how big an official you are, whether you can talk or not, since you are here today on behalf of the Ministry of Industry, I will say hello indiscriminately, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. In the future, I picked a vegetable basket to sell, and I was also reasonable to ask others: the Ministry of Industry already knew that Agronomy had already said hello, and the Ministry of Industry had to accept the sale.
Li Shi stretched out his hand and pointed at the two of us, and laughed: "Zihao is playing tricks with me again, everything is done without leakage, and agriculture has a young eunuch like you, which can be described as solid." ”
"In response to people's words and loyalty, since you stand up and pick up this ......burden, Brother Li also knows the temperament of the younger brother, although he is used to being free and casual, he is also an honest person, and he will never leave halfway." Pointing to the thatched pavilion in the distance, "Emperor Taizong was cultivating and working here, and the small pavilion was the place where he rested after the old man's work, thinking about the king of a country can still be busy and ......, and the people's food and clothing are the sky, this is the original intention of the Royal Undertaking College, whether agriculture is prosperous or not is directly related to the people's livelihood," with a calm and slightly proud look, "In love and righteousness, the little brother will work hard, and there will be no slack." ”
Li Shi sighed with emotion: "Emperor Taizong was wise all his life, and he was martial arts..." ”
"You can't say that," led into the thatched pavilion, found a place to shelter from the sun and asked Li Shi to sit down, "Today, the saint is not under Emperor Taizong. Of course, as the founding monarch...... Oh no, it's okay anyway. "Blushing, Li Yuan forgot about it, embarrassed to look at Li Shi," Brother Li smiled, and the younger brother lost his memory, hehe. In any case, Taizong fought countless battles in his life, and his reputation among the people was unprecedented. You want to. When you see a hero on the battle array, everyone likes this bite; It is the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of waste are prosperous, and after many years of chaos, they can finally settle down, regardless of whether the days are good or bad, as long as they are peaceful, it is a great joy, so everyone is grateful to Taizong. In all fairness, really live a good life. It can be called a prosperous era or a matter after the first year of Yonghui. Goryeo, the Western Turks, together with this year's pick-up of Tibet, this is the real rival, the peace of the peace, the destruction of the extinction, the expansion of the territory is better than the Taizong period. In terms of people's livelihood, other families dare not talk about it, and the Wang family has passed by in person. The farmers live better day by day, but they have never been to the farmer's house, and they can see everything clearly at the last stop in the West Market. Therefore, the younger brother thinks that if the current saint does not compare with Taizong, the eternal Mingjun will not be able to run. ”
"Haha......" Li Shi was happy, his eyes were not happy. I don't know what he enjoys. To tell the truth, it's good that people do tell everyone to live a good life, and of course, the phenomenon of corruption has increased, and it is prosperous. How can it be called a prosperous age without corruption? "Zihao's words are false, at least during the Zhenguan period, there were no corrupt officials from Dali Temple."
"Not necessarily, honest and honest officials are not necessarily capable officials, a large number of people who deceive the world and steal fame are full of them, clean officials and poor officials are two different things, but most people often confuse the two points, a patch and two sleeves are shameless people since ancient times, these talents should be pulled into the West Market." Think of Liu Renliang. Although this guy is a capable official, I can't wait to unload him too.
Li Shi smiled slightly, "It's far away, I'm here today to talk about food, as for the corrupt officials, the officials and the poor officials, the court has officials and officials, so we don't need to bother." ”
"Yes, personally. It's over in one go. Hey. Glancing at Li Shi, the matter of the good seed is more tricky. I don't know what the Ministry of Industry meant by sending him, "It's easy to promote, and if conditions permit, as long as the funding problem is solved......"
"Hehe, that's still not easy." Li Shi saw me kicking the ball back again, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, who should pay for this money." The Ministry of Industry will definitely not pay this money, and the Ministry of Household will not pay this money without the permission of the three provinces. According to Zihao's meaning, should it be from the farmers? ”
"Huh? How do you know? "I haven't said this, at least I haven't said it in front of Li Shi, it is estimated that Lanling is too talkative, "No, if you say such a big rebellion, the younger brother will not say it." ”
"Actually, it's a good way," Li Shi ignored my appeal, and said seriously: "It's against common sense, after all, there are many links in it, if you only pass agriculture, it's fine, but after all, it's the scope of the Ministry of Industry." Is it possible for the Ministry of Industry to buy seeds from agronomy and then resell them layer by layer in various counties? ”
No wonder the imperial court has not promoted the crops that cannot be retained, Li Shi explained it like this, the links are too cumbersome, and I don't know what the situation is when it reaches the hands of the people. "This is troublesome, in which if there is a spread pool in the control, it is possible to mislead the seeding, and the price of various places must also be uniformly regulated, and a special supervision department must be established, which will create an additional agency...... Oh my God, I got another draft, and I had to file a case in three provinces, and now the saints are shocked. Brother Li, forget about this matter, let's discuss something else. ”
"It's cumbersome," Li Shi shook his head helplessly, "Not to mention the cumbersomeness, even if the draft is handed over, the three provinces will inevitably not be released, and it is unreasonable for the imperial court to buy and sell grain." However......" Li Shi picked up the tea bowl in front of him, looked left and right, and put it down again, "You can be led by the surname Li, and in the name of special supply, you can buy some good varieties from agronomy and pass them on within the clan, and list them as special supplies together with agronomy Chinese cabbage, so that others can't pick out the topic." ”
"There's no way to talk to the royal family, let's ...... small households" This is a way, first form this atmosphere from the royal family, and gradually spread to the wealthy families inside and outside the capital, and wait for everyone to realize this benefit, and then talk about the promotion of the soup and the meat is rotten. Moreover, since agronomy is a royal academy, it is not too much to provide new varieties to the royal family.
"It's not difficult, who doesn't want to get more grain, now that the high-yield and high-quality varieties of agriculture are famous, many royal relatives must have asked for it with Zihao, right?" Li Shi stretched out his finger and said with a smile: "The people of agriculture are trying their best to cooperate, including this Chinese cabbage, and all the good varieties that can be promoted can be tried out from the clan." ”
Yes, Li Shi is smart, he doesn't follow the rules, he knows where to start, and he can get this inspiration from Chinese cabbage, and his IQ should be about the same as mine. "Chinese cabbage can't be guaranteed, after all, it is still in the experimental stage, and there is no problem with the grain seeds. Also, where is Brother Li? Why didn't you hear it for a long time, but it was discussed with the Ministry of Industry? ”
"That's it, hang the name of cabbage and come first, the Ministry of Industry. This is what the Ministry of Industry means. ”
It seems that Uncle Cao is starting to be bent on goodness, yes, the old man is sorry for me? Or did Lan Ling force and instigate his imperial brother to talk to the Ministry of Industry? Without further ado, hurry up and prepare, fortunately I am selfish, this year there are more good breeds than in previous years, and it seems that I can cope with next year's spring sowing.
Since the Ministry of Labor means, it has to be placed on the table and Lao Liu to negotiate a contract. Do it as a project. After planning, first ask the government for a budget, hit the name of the agricultural place, prepare a breeding base, and so on. Lao Liu made an exception and did not express that annoying and unique opinion, as long as the matters before and after were not too excessive, they were all signed happily.
"Is it possible that someone wants to buy our land last year?" As soon as I got home, I asked Ying, who was sitting on the grain pile with a smirk, "Tell people to go, and just say that we have all the money." ”
"And the face said," Ying directly gave a roll of the eyes, "The matter is over." Who sold our house for a good land? If you go and ask for it, you will offend people. ”
It stands to reason that I should not be in charge of the establishment of a breeding base in agriculture, but it is not an exaggeration to borrow this east wind to buy some fertile land for my family. "Ask. It's okay. It would be nice if the Zhuangzi on the other side of Qishan could sell agriculture. ”
"You can't sell it, it's for our family. Besides, now that Boss Qian is taking care of the land, it is no problem to support a wine-making workshop. Ying happily calculated, "The old land in Beijing." Fenghe is one, Qishan is one, and there are dozens of miles on the right side of Longyou......"
"It's beautiful to you, it's okay for dozens of miles, be careful to let the wolf take it away."
"That's our wolf, too!" Ying smiled and planned the ownership of wild animals, "Everything on the land is our land, and the news came over two days ago, saying that the local labor force over there in Goryeo has been transported." They go outside the gate. Will there be any mistakes? ”
"Won't it?" I'm not very familiar with the geography over there, so I don't know how to get there. "Anyway, we don't settle accounts until we get to the ground, and the mistakes are not our family." In these years, everyone talks about integrity, no matter what kind of goods, as long as the delivery is paid on arrival, they can rest assured that they deal with each other.
Rest assured is assured, but a series of troubles have just begun, and Longyou is like a bottomless pit. Thousands of them were thrown into the water. No news was heard. Thanks to the 5,000 yuan sponsored by Lanling, I don't have this money. The Wang family was dying.
"Ten thousand!" Lan Ling gritted his teeth and reminded, "I haven't seen your number, if you continue to decrease at this rate, I will be lucky to be able to take it back ten times in the future." ”
"Really? No need to go back, I'll pay it back now! This is great, I didn't expect that as long as ten, you said it earlier! ”
"Phew!"
"I just forgot the five lectures and four beauties I taught you so quickly?" Even in a feudal society, the creditor should not be so oppressive of the debtor. "Well, there's nothing to say about people like you. What are you doing with me? ”
"Can't I look for you if it's okay? It costs so much money to build a base, and it shouldn't be used for your own money. Wait for the sea to come back, and deduct it directly from your family's bonus shares! Lan Ling pouted, "I have a lot of things in my hand, so I can pay for it." ”
"No, I forgot. Just throw them in the water, and don't expect them to come back. "Counting that it has only been more than half a year since the voyage, according to Lanling's prediction, it is still early to come back, and I don't have much hope.
"What about cotton? I shouldn't have said this little thing, but no one can handle your cheekiness, so make it clear before you pick it. ”
"It's the same as last year, it's mine in the near and yours in the distance, how nice?" Lying down with a long face, "You have a lot of money, so naturally you won't be embarrassed by me." ”
"Okay." Lanling sneered a few times, "There is more cotton this year than last year, and the inner government plans to open another workshop, don't we have an agreement, and I came to you to discuss." ”
"Don't come nonsense, you plan to kill me with a knife, don't smash it with money. The workshop we started is not small, and when the labor from Goryeo comes over, it will almost be able to digest so much cotton, so it's not a waste for you to build another one? ”
"Don't waste it, build it slowly, and prepare for next year. There are more and more cotton, and one workshop is obviously not enough, so let's just cover the inner house and come to say hello to you. Lanling said slowly: "In the future, our distribution of raw materials is calculated according to the production capacity of each family, and it is not fair for one person and half." ”
"Eldest sister, you bully people. You have the money to build, where do I get so much money back? Didn't you say last year that you were half of the previous years, why did you change your hexagram? ”
"It's different, I was in a good mood when I rolled on the grass with you last year, and you take it seriously if you don't pay attention?" Lan Lingjiao sat beside me with a smile, "But you took advantage of my good mood to share the cotton in the last few places, so that I would suffer a dumb loss." Why don't we switch the two this year? ”
"If it weren't for this, all the cotton would be counted as a general ledger, and we would share it between the two families? It's fair, everyone has the same cost, and it's not impartial. "It's unlucky to change the distance, not to mention the high freight, and it also delays the production cycle. The competition is so fierce, it's hard to get it back after falling.
"That's what people say, that's it." Lan Ling nodded with satisfaction, "Actually, I've been in a good mood lately, hehe......"
"I used to be in a good mood, but now it's not good......"
"Then when your hands are free, the concubine will accompany you out for a walk," Lan Ling leaned over and said in a greasy voice: "Walk a little away." ”
"How far?"
"A thousand miles away."
