Chapter 75 There is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart
"Adou, my young master, when has this been, are you still in the mood to see what crops? If you don't want to think of a way, our firm will have no revenue this year! ”
In the Pastoral Mansion of Jiangling City, looking at Liu Chan, who was dressed as a samurai and was about to go out with Guan Xing and Guan Feng's brothers and sisters, Mi Fang, the 'unprofessional' Nanjun Taishou, was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this time.
There is no way, under the joint strangulation of Sun Quan and Cao Cao, although there are still some 'smuggling' transactions, this is not enough to stop the performance of the Mi family firm from plummeting like a cliff. How could Mi Fang, who was all about the business house, stand it? That's his official achievement!
"My uncle is also an old man in business, do you know that there is no business in this world that only makes money and does not lose money? Isn't it normal to have profits and losses, hahahaha! ”
Looking at Mi Fang's anxious appearance, Liu Chan seemed to have nothing to do with him, but instead said 'cool words' on the side.
"Okay, okay, you're not in a hurry, what kind of idle am I......?"
Mi Fang, who was angry with Liu Chan's attitude of not caring about herself, couldn't help but be angry at this time.
"Haha, isn't it just that Cao Cao and Sun Quan have been hacked? Uncle rest assured, how much we have lost now, they will make up for it twice when the time comes. Let them be happy for a while, and then we will settle accounts with them! ”
In the end, after stacking a cruel sentence about settling accounts after the autumn, Liu Chan left Mi Fang laughing and turned around and went out with Guan Xing's brothers and sisters.
……
"Eldest sister, you are the year, this food still has to be really in your own hands, haha!"
Outside Jiangling City, next to a rice field that had begun to turn yellow, looking at the Linyi rice in front of him that was only more than two feet high, but with a heavy ear of rice nearly a foot long, Liu Chan, who was full of joy, couldn't help but bend down and pinch off a rice ear and handed it to Guan Feng on the side.
"Well, where did the wild boy come from, he dared to spoil the old man's crops, see that I don't break your dog's paw!"
What Liu Chan didn't expect was that before the ear of rice in his hand was handed to Guan Feng, with a loud shout, he saw an old farmer rushing towards him with a hoe in his hand in a canal more than ten steps away.
"Bold!"
"Stop!"
Just as the old farmer rushed over with a hoe, Guan Xing and several guards were suddenly frightened, and they also shouted and rushed over with their swords.
There is no way, because of Guan Feng, in order to avoid being an 'electric light cannon', including Guan Xing and several guards, he did not accompany him at this time, but was dozens of steps away.
"Zen brother!"
Seeing that the guards didn't have time to rush over in front of the old peasant, without waiting for Liu Chan to react, Guan Feng, who was originally a little shy because of the alternative 'roses' handed by Liu Chan, was coquettish at this time, and pulled out the short sword on his body to protect him behind him.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, Lin Lao's spirit is much stronger than that day!"
Gently patted the shoulder of the little girl in front of him, but Liu Chan waved his hand and greeted the angry old farmer in front of him.
It turned out that this old farmer who was full of spirit was the old farmer surnamed Lin who provided him with the news of Linyi rice that day.
"Huh? It turned out to be a childe! Childe forgives his sins, the villain has no eyes, and he collides with Childe......"
Hearing Liu Chan's greeting, the old farmer who rushed to the front hurriedly threw away the hoe in his hand, and knelt down with a plop to plead guilty.
"Haha, Lin Lao, please hurry up, it's true that the kid has ruined the crops, what is the s......in of the old man who feels sorry for the food?"
While signaling Guan Feng to put away the short sword, Liu Chan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Childe, villain......"
"Haha, there is a slight misunderstanding, Lin Lao doesn't need to mind. Do you estimate how much this new rice will be harvested this year......"
In order to alleviate the tension and apprehension of the old farmer surnamed Lin in front of him, Liu Chan quickly diverted the topic and pointed to the rice field in front of him.
"Childe, this new rice is really good! The villain has been planting the field for so many years, but he has never seen rice that grows so fast and can have such long ears......"
Sure enough, speaking of the rice in front of him, the old farmer surnamed Lin suddenly lost his previous nervousness and apprehension, and was full of joy to introduce this Linyi rice to Liu Chan carefully.
"Not only does this new rice grow fast, but it is also drought tolerant and less prone to disease. The villain even planted some in the dry land over there, and it didn't necessarily get much worse than that...... It's just that the grain is a little smaller. However, the villain estimated that this mu can produce more than ten hundreds, but it is much higher than the original peach blossom rice yield......
As he spoke, he even pinched off a freshly ripe rice ear again and handed it to Liu Chan, without the slightest distress from before.
"Well, it seems that there is nothing unsuitable for this new rice seed, so that the people can eat their stomachs, and my Jingzhou will no longer have to worry about food shortages,"
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart. Rubbing the ears of rice in his hand, Liu Chan also let go of the last bit of worry.
Speaking of which, don't look at his previous performance of Cao Cao and Sun Quan's 'joint economic sanctions', but he has never really farmed in later generations, and he is still a little bottomless in his heart.
Therefore, even if he already has a countermeasure in his heart, he can only choose to hold back for the time being before the true yield of Linyi rice is determined.
But now, with the maturity of Linyi rice in the first season, he has the confidence in his heart, and he can finally put his mind at ease and launch a counterattack against Sun Quan Cao Cao.
"This is all thanks to the son, if it weren't for the child's tax reduction, the villain would have grown more food, and he would still be hungry in the end...... After the rice is harvested, the villain must let Childe be the first to eat this year's new rice! ”
Just when Liu Chan was still rejoicing that he had stable and reliable food security, so that he could relax and fight back against Cao Cao and Sun Quan's economic sanctions, the heartfelt words of gratitude of the old farmer surnamed Lin came from his ears.
"Then it's decided, then the kid will wait for Lin Lao's new rice to be cooked, haha......"
……
"You immediately go back to the city and tell Mi Taishou, and let him inform him that from now on, in addition to grain and cloth, the purchase and sale of ice muscle paper and books can also be paid for in gold, silver or other things, but the price will be increased by 20%. In addition, let him immediately expand the production of hero wine, and brew as much as he can......"
In the end, because Liu Chan, who was going to accompany the 'Tiger Girl' on an outing, couldn't wait to return to the city, and then in Guan Feng's starry eyes, he gave an order to a guard to let Mi Fang increase the production of sorghum wine.
