Chapter 336: Fooling the Wealthy Family
"Good! It's really hard for you and Brother Liu this time! ”
Jiang Chen tidied up Liu San's somewhat messy collar and ordered: "Yuan Cheng, take Brother Liu to the Jiaofang Division to entertain him, and prepare another five hundred taels of silver for him to send to the house!" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Yuancheng agreed, smiled and hugged Liu San's shoulders and said, "Third Brother Liu, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise this time!" Let's go, brother will take you to suppress the shock! ”
"Huh."
Liu San's face was full of surprise, and he saluted Jiang Chen: "Thank you, for your generous reward!" ”
After saluting, he suddenly took out a potato from his arms and held it up in front of Jiang Chen and said, "My lord, my son-in-law encountered a shipwrecked Fanbang ship on the way, and not only saved a few fans, but also found this thing on the boat.
If you're not sure if it's the overseas species you want, ask the villain to bring it back and ask. ”
Jiang Chen took the potato with an excited face, and after looking at it carefully, he nodded happily and said, "Yes, this is the potato!" Is there anything else on board? ”
"There are a few big boxes, and now they are all at the Chuzhou wharf."
Liu San replied with a smile.
"Good, good! This time, Brother Liu really helped me and the people of the world a lot! Another day, I will definitely ask the official family for him and for you! ”
Jiang Chen patted Liu San on the shoulder, and the first thing that came to mind was to cultivate potato seeds and sow them next year.
Nowadays, the average grain yield per mu in the Northern Song Dynasty is only more than three stones, which is less than 300 catties, and it is necessary to pick up land.
However, the yield of potatoes per mu is enough to reach 1,000 catties, and it is very drought-resistant, and it can be planted even in the mountains.
So in order to ensure that there were no mistakes along the way, he directly sent Yang Bangyuan to personally lead people to escort him.
Then he found Song Huizong, talked about the success of grain procurement and potatoes, put forward the idea of suppressing bandits and training troops, and prepared to sort out all the rivers from Bianjing to Chuzhou and Haizhou.
Song Huizong was a little incredulous about the high yield of potatoes, and told Jiang Chen not to make a noise until the results of the trial planting came out in the coming year, so as not to ruin the reputation of the immortal disciple.
However, he raised his hands and feet in favor of the suppression of bandits, remembering that Gao Yu sought an official for his son, and also stuffed Gao Yaokang, the second son of Gao Yaokang, and the third son Gao Yaofu into gold.
Jiang Chen naturally would not refuse, and let Zhou Dong and Zhou Yunqing, who were proficient in military books and battle strategies, command 3,000 Jimin troops, 1,000 engineering troops, and 500 medical soldiers trained by Yuqing Villa respectively, and set off in a majestic manner.
……
It is worth mentioning that more than 300 of the 1,000 medical soldiers in the two teams are disciples of Zhang Xubai, a real person from the Daomen.
After Zhang Xubai learned that Jiang Chen intended to establish a specialized medical school of different categories, he thought that this matter was for the benefit of the country and the people, so he moved to Yuqing Villa to live, and as a matter of course, he served as the first dean of Limen Medical College.
As for the vice presidents, they are Hu Langzhong and Xue Kunshan, the chief of the Tai Medical Department.
Hu Langzhong was born in Reed Lane, and his medical skills obviously did not dare to be compared with Zhang Xubai and Xue Kunshan, so he specially treated the beast under Jiang Chen's suggestion, and the castration of the boar in Yuqing Villa was personally operated by him with his disciples.
After Xue Kunshan obtained the patent right in Jiang Chen, he directly applied for a patent for Wan Jinfang, and under Jiang Chen's instigation and investment, he set up a traditional Chinese medicine research and manufacturing factory.
The Wanjin Fang in his hand has little to do with Sun Simiao's Qianjin Fang, which was compiled by Xue Guyu and mainly aimed at gynecological diseases, so it is also known as the Wanjin Fang of Women's Medicine.
Therefore, Jiang Chen affectionately called Xue Kunshan a friend of women.
……
On the third day when the Jimin Army went to suppress the bandits, Jiang Chen had just returned to his villa, and Xue Kunshan, a friend of women, came to the door.
He was accompanied by Han Bai of the Zhending Han family, as well as representatives of the Qian family and the Chai family who were ranked first in the Northern Song Dynasty.
As soon as Jiang Chen saw this posture, he understood the purpose of Xue Kunshan and the others.
Because the second-generation leaders of these families are still detained by him in prison.
So in order to grasp the initiative, he just gave warm hospitality and did not mention the stubble at all.
Although Han Bai and the others hated Jiang Chen half to death in their hearts, their own son was still holding it in Jiang Chen's hands, and they didn't dare to turn their faces directly, and after saying hello with a straight face, they all looked at Xue Kunshan, a friend of women.
Xue Kunshan was helpless, so he could only smile bitterly at Jiang Chen: "Liangchen, I can't hide it, the old man is entrusted by the Holy Duke of Yan today to inquire with you about the case of Kong Duancao and others......
As Xue Kunshan provoked the conversation, Han Bai, who had a false title from the second rank but had no real job, immediately couldn't suppress the anger and asked Jiang Chen:
"If you have been convicted without evidence, why are you so reluctant to release him?
Some people say that Jiang Shaoqing is because he holds a grudge against the dogs, and they obtained the secret recipe for distilled liquor through Guo Haochu's traitor, so he got in the way and took revenge with resentment.
Isn't that true? If this is the case, we will quit the Royal Chamber of Commerce and not do the business of distilled spirits, so why should we hurt the peace for this? ”
"That's it! Isn't it just a recipe for breaking the secret, don't you? ”
Qian Jiming, the golden purple Guanglu doctor of the third grade, nodded in agreement with everyone, with a look of disdain.
"Alas, it's really hard to be a good person!"
Jiang Chen sighed with an aggrieved face: "I am obviously trying my best to protect the members of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, but you think that I am harming them. In that case, then I will write a note, and you can go and bring people home. ”
Jiang Chen said that, and directly asked Yang Bangyi's daughter Yang Cuitao to prepare pen and ink.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Can you make that clear?"
Xue Kunshan, Han Bai and the others couldn't help but be confused when they saw that Jiang Chen didn't seem to be cheating.
"It's inconvenient to say the specific subordinates."
Jiang Chen shook his head and looked around at everyone: "I just want to ask you one thing, you want your son and nephew to come out of the prison innocently, and it has nothing to do with this case from now on."
Or is it released in the name of insufficient evidence, thus leaving a legacy behind? ”
"Huh?"
"Could it be that there is something else going on in this case?"
"Even King Qiong and Cao Guogong were dismissed from their posts and demoted to Nanjing, haven't they finished their trials?"
Han Bai, Qian Jiming and the others were full of surprise, and asked Jiang, "Jiang Shaoqing, can you be more specific?" ”
Jiang Chen frowned, and asked instead of answering: "Han Shaobao, have you ever thought that people with the same plot as Ling Gongzi and others have either been raided or exiled in the past few days, why did Ling Gongzi and others decide that the evidence is insufficient?"
If they are released so easily, will it bury a thorn in the hearts of the officials? ”
"Shhh This ......"
"My son, they're so innocent!"
"Lord Jiang, how could someone like me collude with those ground rats and do something rebellious?"
"Yes! For the sake of the first batch of people who support you and the Royal Chamber of Commerce, I also ask Lord Jiang to say a few kind words in front of the official family! ”
The attitudes of Han Bai, Qian Jiming and the others directly took a 180-degree turn, and they all bowed their hands to Jiang Chen.
