Chapter 164: The people are excited
Chang'an City is so big in total.
It didn't take long for the news of the return of the Cui family's old family head to heaven!
The people in the city ate a wave of melons.
"I didn't expect the old head of the Cui family to die like this, it's really a pity......"
"Sorry? But why do I see you're laughing? ”
"If you want me to say, die well!"
"It's just that the grain was so expensive before, it didn't give people a way to live!"
……
In the beginning, people just gossiped or laughed to express their sadness.
After all, the head of the Cui family is not young, and it is reasonable to suddenly disappear.
A man suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"Actually, it's not that simple." The man said with a mysterious face: "I also saw the old master a while ago, and his red face didn't look like he was sick at all. ”
His words successfully aroused the curiosity of the people who ate melons, and they all stared at him with blazing eyes.
"This big brother, listen to what you mean, is there something inside here?"
A young man was curious.
"That's right!" The man glanced at everyone for a while, and then spoke: "I heard that the head of the Cui family was angry to death!" ”
Facts have proved that eating melons is definitely a fine tradition for thousands of years.
The curiosity of the people around was instantly detonated!
"Really?"
"The Cui family has a big business, who dares to be angry with their family master?"
"You're not lying, are you?"
……
"You don't know that, do you?!" The man said with a snorting face: "Some time ago, Your Majesty got a magical crop, which directly threatened the Cui family's control of food, which made their family master angry." ”
The melon eaters suddenly cast suspicious glances.
Even the people at the lowest level understand what kind of existence the five surnames and seven hopes are.
These families have been passed down to the forefront, and the food reserves can definitely scare people to death!
A crop that threatens them?
How much does that have to be produced?
Isn't that!
"That's a big deal." Someone immediately questioned: "Then what do you say about the yield of this crop?" ”
"It's called a potato." The man said with a serious face: "The yield per mu is seven or eight thousand catties!" ”
"Cut ——!"
The melon eaters all snorted in disdain.
Seven or eight thousand catties per mu?
It's okay to go home and sleep.
Dream in broad daylight!
"You still don't believe it." The man continued: "My uncle's eldest cousin is in the household department, and this is what he told me personally! ”
It's a pity that it's useless.
Still no one believed him.
With a yield of seven or eight thousand catties per mu, won't you never go hungry again in the future?
I can't even dream of this kind of thing!
At this moment, several city guards walked over with something.
The melon eaters immediately followed the onlookers.
The city guards came to the front and back of the notice board and pasted a piece of paper on it.
"Let's get ahead."
"What a squeeze, do you know how to read?"
"What's wrong with not knowing how to read, maybe you'll know it when you see it?"
The melon eaters suddenly crowded together, and the scene was chaotic.
"Everyone, don't squeeze." Someone suggested, "Isn't there a scholar over there, just let him tell us no." ”
When everyone heard this, they really stopped, and looked at the scholar in front of the notice board.
"Don't worry, everyone." The scholar motioned, "I'll read it to you." ”
It's not the first time they've encountered this situation.
In the past, the government posted notices or something, and they all helped them read them.
The scholar stared at the notice.
Gradually, the expression began to be wrong......
From the casualness at the beginning, to the disbelief later, to the complete sluggishness......
"What the hell is written on it?"
"That scholar, you are talking, don't stay there in a daze?"
"That's right, hurry up."
……
It took a long time for the scholar to come back to his senses.
But his body was still trembling slightly......
"It says...... Your Majesty has recently obtained a high-yield crop......" The scholar turned around and said tremblingly: "Potatoes, the yield per mu can reach seven or eight thousand catties...... In less than three or five years, there will be no more hungry people in Datang......"
"Whoop——!
The crowd is completely fried!
Although it still sounds like a fart.
But this proclamation was issued by the imperial court!
The street fell silent.
Everyone froze there.
It is said that there is no doubt about what the imperial court promulgated.
But the problem is that the impact of this content is too great!
It's like a dream......
It took a long time for people to come back to their senses.
"What else is there?"
"When will these potatoes be delivered?"
"How much can each household receive?"
……
After a brief silence, there was another mess.
The people shouted with red eyes one by one.
The scholar shuddered violently.
It felt like the people were looking at him like they were looking at potatoes......
"That's all written on it......" The scholar replied weakly, "I suddenly remembered that there was something else at home, so I took my leave first......"
As soon as the words were spoken, the person slipped away!
"By the way, uncle's eldest cousin!" Someone remembered something and immediately roared.
These words reminded the surrounding people to eat melons, and people looked for them with red eyes.
"Here!" Someone found the man before and grabbed his arm excitedly: "Uncle, ah no, big cousin, ahhh, uncle's big cousin......"
Soon everyone surrounded the man and asked him again.
"If you don't believe me, why do you ask me now?" The man said with an arrogant face: "I'm hungry and I'm going to eat, let's see you back." ”
"Big brother, what are these words, let's go to Tianxianglou and talk slowly."
In this way, a group of people left with the man.
It didn't take long for them to finally get the inside scoop!
The magical new things that have recently emerged in Chang'an City are all from the same person.
And this perverted potato was taken out by that person!
And His Majesty has also decided to respect this person as the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty!
Soon, the news spread throughout Chang'an City!
With those magical things in the Cheng family's grocery store in front, now people have a little faith in the number of seven or eight thousand catties per mu!
Take the watch and the bicycle or something.
Before you see it with your own eyes, dare you imagine that there is such a magical thing in the world?!
Since this kind of thing can be made, it doesn't seem impossible to make a crop with a yield of seven or eight thousand per mu, right?!
I can't say I believe it completely, but at least I believe it for the most part!
The people feel that even if the yield per mu is not as exaggerated and perverted as seven or eight thousand catties, it should definitely not be able to run away if it is a few hundred catties!
Unfortunately, the uncle's eldest cousin said that the potatoes are still in the cultivation stage and will not be distributed for the time being.
However, this did not affect the enthusiasm and expectations of the people.
It can mature in more than a month, and twenty or thirty catties of seeds can be planted in one acre of land.
If this continues, there will be three or five years at most, and you will no longer have to worry about eating!
It's only been three or five years, but I can still afford to wait!
this day.
All the people of Chang'an City are unprecedentedly excited!
On the face, there is an infinite longing for a better life in the future!
For the mysterious existence of Cao Ze, people have become more and more curious!
In fact, the Drunken Immortal House and the Cheng family's grocery store had already made them very curious before, but no matter how they inquired, they still couldn't find out who the person behind the scenes was.
When King Han was drunk, some people did see Cao Ze, but unfortunately they didn't know the specific identity at all.
As for inquiring with the Cheng family?
Forget it......
