Chapter 183: Another 10,000 gold was wasted
"How's the situation at the brewery?"
As soon as the hour passed, Cui Jingtong couldn't wait to ask.
"Master, it's not been long since the advertisement was printed, and many people haven't seen it, and there are only a few people sporadically going to the winery, but don't worry, when everyone sees the content of the newspaper, they will definitely go!"
Cui Cheng's forehead had begun to break out in a cold sweat.
The idea was his idea, but the advertisement was published, but it never worked.
You must have not seen the newspaper yet!
Right!
Definitely!
"Hmmm! Then wait a little longer! ”
Cui Jingtong nodded and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
In the next two hours, every two quarters of an hour, Cui Jingtong would ask again, until two hours later, he couldn't help it, he came to the winery in person to check the situation!
"It's been half a day, why are there only so many people? Don't they want free wine? ”
Looking at the few people scattered on the street, Cui Jingtong's eyes suddenly became cold.
"Master, have you noticed? It's rare to meet people along the way, but this was not the case in the past! ”
Cui Cheng saw that the signs were wrong, and hurried to find the reason.
The street opened by their winery is in the middle of the city, and there are many people who usually come to buy and sell, even hawkers.
But today the streets are empty, and even the stalls are gone!
It would be nice to have so many people queuing up in front of their wine shop to receive wine!
"Huh? It seems to be true! ”
Cui Jingtong also noticed that something was wrong.
There are so few people on the street today, no wonder there is no one in front of their wine shop!
"Master, wait a minute, I'll inquire why no one came to set up a stall today!"
"Go, go!"
Cui Jingtong waved his hand to urge.
He spent 10,000 gold a day to advertise, but yesterday he did not publish the advertisement, resulting in no effect at all.
If it doesn't work today, it will be another waste of 10,000 gold!
That is, after a moment's effort, Cui Cheng turned back and played with a bitter face, "Back to the master, listen to those people say that today's imperial court distributes hybrid rice seeds, and each household is limited to one catty, and the people are running to get the seeds!" ”
"What hybrid rice? Never heard of it, huh? ”
Cui Jingtong's face was full of question marks.
Receiving rice seeds, why didn't he receive any news?
"I heard that it was published in the newspaper, and when the people read the newspaper, they all ran to get the seeds, for fear that it would be too late!"
"What?"
After listening to this, Cui Jingtong quickly took out the newspaper from his arms and looked for the content of this hybrid rice on it.
Sure enough, on the other side of the front page, I found news about hybrid rice.
The above describes the yield, taste, planting method and collection location of hybrid rice.
It's just that all their attention is on their own ads, and they don't notice them at all!
"The yield of hybrid rice is more than ten times that of today's rice?"
"Each family is limited to one catty, go back and cultivate it by yourself?"
"Where did this come from? If you don't send it early or late, why do you have to send it when we advertise? ”
After reading the content of the newspaper, Cui Jingtong's nose was crooked.
There are hybrid rice seed collars with tenfold yields per mu, who will still drink their wine?
If he had known the news earlier, he would have sent someone to collect the seeds!
But it's definitely too late to go now, after this morning, it is estimated that the collection location is already crowded!
"I don't know, sir, the people only know that it is distributed for free by the imperial court, and no one knows where it came from!"
Cui Cheng made a bitter face.
He didn't expect that things would be so coincidental!
"It's really bad luck!"
In desperation, Cui Jingtong waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
There is no way, the gift of hybrid rice seeds is an event held by the imperial court, and his arms can't twist his thighs, so he can only admit to planting.
Besides, the newspaper said that the seeds are limited, and they will be delivered while supplies last.
When the seeds are delivered, it is estimated that there will be more people on his side!
……
On the other side, Zhang Han opened the warehouse and organized officers and soldiers to register and donate hybrid rice seeds to the people.
Each family can only give one catty, and cannot receive it repeatedly!
The seed is a reward given by the system, and Xiao Zhengtai also invited Yingzheng and Fusu to come and watch!
"This is what you kid said about hybrid rice?"
Looking at the seeds, which were no different from ordinary rice, Ying Zheng asked suspiciously.
"That's right, these seeds are all cultivated by Erchen's hard work, which not only shortens the maturity time, but also increases the yield by more than ten times, plus potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops, the people of Daqin no longer have to worry about the lack of food!"
Xiao Zhengtai raised his little head slightly.
"Great, now that the drought problem is solved, it's time to sow seeds!"
Listening to his explanation, Ying Zhengle's mouth couldn't close.
After the rain in Xianyang, he cheekily asked Xiao Zhengtai to rain for other counties.
The Flying Eagles had their previous experience and brought a hot air balloon to other arid areas for an artificial rainfall, and the drought was finally alleviated!
The soldiers of the Flying Eagles have also received a lot of rewards!
"How did Fei Yu breed hybrid rice? Can you teach the Pope when you have time? ”
I don't know when Fusu became interested in high-yielding crops.
On weekdays, I have nothing to do, so I take people to study grafting techniques and transform ploughs.
And often put Xiao Zhengtai's words on his lips, "Only by solving the people's food and clothing can Daqin be more stable!" ”
Seeing that his son was dedicated to the people, Yingzheng did not stop him.
It's just a secret sigh in my heart.
This son is good in all aspects, but he doesn't have a trace of the domineering that an emperor should have, if he puts the throne in his hands, he is afraid that he will be bullied by other countries!
"Brother Huang, recently I am planning to set up an Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which specializes in the study of high-yield plants, if Brother Huang is interested, you can go over there and study with them!"
Xiao Zhengtai said in a milky voice.
Now that he has almost saved up the money in his hand, it is better to develop research than to put it there and rust.
So he bought a piece of land on the outskirts of the city and ordered Huang Yuan to build two three-story small buildings as the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, specifically for research!
"Really? That's great, when the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is established, you must notify me as soon as possible! ”
Childe Fusu suddenly showed a longing look.
He was influenced by Confucianism and had no interest in power or the throne.
After Xiao Zhengtai came to the palace, he frequently saw all kinds of strange and high-yielding plants, which immediately stimulated his interest and determined his goal!
That is, through hard work, let the people be fed and clothed, so that every step of Daqin can be more stable!
"Okay!"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled and nodded, revealing a neat row of small milk teeth.
