In the past few days when Zhuge Jin has been in retreat to deal with housework, Sun Gan's work of persuading farmers has been promoted very well.

Sun Qian is not good at scheming, but his execution is still good.

The day after he made his decision, he organized an "exhibition" at the canal wharf in the east of Guangling City.

Invite local squires to observe the fishing and selling of fish by the navy, and enhance the credibility of the technology he wants to promote.

Out of the secrecy of the technical details, Sun Qian asked the soldiers to pull up the cordon in advance, and only showed the final harvest link.

But such an operation inevitably made the gentry who went to the appointment more and more nervous and whispered.

They thought that the government was short of money and food, and they were going to apportionment it again. So they all came to the appointment dressed in shabby clothes, so that they could cry poor and sell miserable.

There were also two old men with gray beards in the gentry group, who were very conspicuous, and there were people who bowed and saluted wherever they went, and they were obviously the patriarchs of the big families in the county.

Soon, the two of them chatted: "Wei Gong has been fine lately? A few days ago, the king recovered Guangling, and the clan did not suffer from military disasters, right? ”

Another person replied: "Fortunately, Liu Xun's soldiers fled directly back to Lujiang after the defeat, and Liu Ye also knew that he was invincible, so he didn't dare to fight in the streets." Liu made Jun benevolent and righteous, so he didn't harass the people, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die, like the year before last.

How is Bugong doing? I heard that Ji Ling has surrounded Huaiyin for more than ten days, has the grain stored in the house been forcibly requisitioned by Guan Yu? ”

The two explored each other for a few words, and learned that the other family's family had not been purged, so they had a little bit of sympathy.

It turned out that one of them was called Wei Hui, a well-known family in Guangling County, and the other was called Bulong, a big family in Huaiyin County.

A few years ago, they were all very rich, and the fertile fields and mulberry orchards in the clan were vast and the population was large. However, the year before last, the disaster of Rongrong was greatly damaged, the population plummeted, and the savings were robbed.

This year, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fought again, and the local landlords were even more worried. In fact, many young people in the clan have fled to Jiangdong, and only the old and weak are unable to leave their homeland and stay in the local area.

Chatting and chatting, the topic soon led to Liu Bei's persuasion, and Wei Hui first asked:

"This grandson has been persuaded to plant winter mustard for seven or eight days under the order of the envoy, and I heard that there is a wonderful method to show today, I don't know if Bugong plans to let the clansmen respond to the call?"

Bu Long shook his head helplessly: "This method of winter mustard, I have lived for a long time, and I have never heard of it." After listening to Sun's propaganda, he sent people across the river to find out the truth.

Yesterday, I just received a letter from my nephew Qi'er, who moved to Wu County, saying that there are indeed people in the local area who cultivate like this, but most of them are around Taihu Lake and in the wet and warm places in winter.

He also said in the letter that now Jiangdong is also vast and sparsely populated, because of the battle of Sun Ce and Xu Gong, the big clan is very scattered, if you covet the warm winter land Tuntian, it is better to move the clan to ......"

When Wei Hui heard this, he also expressed his deep feelings: "There are also some sons and nephews in my clan who have escaped the river. If you want me to say, we can't stand the toss, these new things, it's better to wait and see for a year, if someone else grows this winter, we learn the skills, and it's not too late to plant next year. ”

After coming and going, everyone seems to have been firm, "No matter how Sun Qian persuades them, they will first seek stability and wait and see others test the waters this year." ”

Just when everyone was discussing, there was a commotion by the Hangou River in front of them, and countless people exclaimed, and Wei, Bu and others also approached to check.

"Look! Lots of sea bass! ”

"What kind of fishing is this? How can there be so many sea bass caught in one net in the world? It's incredible! ”

"It's not a fake, is it? This is to hang sea bass on the thorns, and it can't be so many, right? This net is at least 200 catties up! ”

Wei Hui and Bu Long were dumbfounded, and the other gentry in the county reacted in the same way.

"Bu Gong, could this be fake?" Wei Hui's face was full of disbelief.

Bu Long furrowed his eyebrows and resolutely denied it: "Impossible, how can there be such a fake, look at these big fish that are stuck in the net, they are either sea bass or green carp." It seems that the new fishing method used by Sun is specialized in catching large fish that sink into the bottom, which is really unheard of. ”

After all, he has lived a long time, and he lives in Jianghuai Water Town, and he still has a lot of life experience. There are also fishing people in other ethnic groups, so they naturally know that it is easy to catch snorkeling fish since ancient times, and the fish that sink to the bottom are generally precious.

The Han Dynasty did not catch sunken bottom fish, but they were not caught with fishing nets, but by fishing, one by one, so even carp and crucian carp were not cheap in this era, only fish floating in shallow water were relatively cheap.

Just when they were shocked, Sun Gan's side had already struck while the iron was hot and began to sell these catches.

As if to prove that the government could easily catch these fish and produce them in high yields, Sun Qian deliberately set a very low price and left it open for everyone to buy.

This is clearly the best way to dispel the doubts of the population.

Because only money in the world does not deceive people,

If a thing can be sold at a low price all the time, it proves that the producer has absolutely mastered the new technology that allows production efficiency to skyrocket, otherwise it will not be able to bear it by counterfeiting subsidies.

While Sun Gan was publicizing, he also noticed the two patriarchs of Bulong and Weihui in the crowd, and knew that they were the leaders of Huaiyin County and Guangling County respectively, so he personally came to greet them:

"Bu Gong, Wei Gong, I heard that your clan has also suffered a lot of losses this year, and the envoy is also quite sympathetic to the war and disturbing the people.

This new method of netting fish is also the idea of the ingenious people to benefit the people. The two clans have a large population, don't you think about cheering? ”

Of course, these old patriarchs will not object to having cheap sea bass to buy, because it is really cost-effective. At that moment, Bulong and Wei Hui each bought a hundred and ten rare big fish, as well as dozens of stones of various fish of ordinary size.

According to the price offered by Sun Qian, the extra-large sea bass of more than seven or eight catties, because it is indeed rare and precious, is the top delicacy of the people's hospitality, so each catty is at least equivalent to the price of more than ten catties of white rice, and generally one or two are worth one stone of rice.

For other smaller ones, the price is several times cheaper at once, and the average is three or four catties of white rice for one catty of sea bass, and other varieties are cheaper.

The worst small trash fish is cheaper than white rice, three catties of white rice can be exchanged for five catties of trash fish, or five catties of coarse millet and miscellaneous beans can be exchanged.

In just a quarter of an hour, Sun Qian's harvest today was sold out, and more than 300 stone of fish was exchanged for more than 1,000 stone of grain and rice from the people - of course, this is also because sea bass poured into the market in large quantities for the first time, and the people's demand was not yet saturated, and the rich still felt that it was rare to sell so much.

After a while, sea bass is not rare, and it is estimated that 300 stone of various live fish will be exchanged for 7 or 800 stone of white rice, or 1,000 stone of miscellaneous grains.

Selling fish was not Sun Gan's main purpose, so after selling fish, he immediately pulled the two patriarchs of Bu and Wei very purposefully to promote the matter of persuading farmers to winter mustard.

Sun Qian also knew that Zhuge Jin still wanted to keep a low profile, and he even wanted to write poems that day to temporarily hide it and not make a name for himself.

But this time the invention of the drift gillnet fishing method, Sun Qian could not hide it from Zhuge Jin, and he had to make a name for himself.

Because in the future, the history books will definitely mention who invented this thing, and if you lie now, it will be difficult to change your words in the future.

And the Zhuge family is so smart, Sun Qian estimates that there will definitely be countless innovative things with the name of "Zhuge XX" in the future.

Therefore, it is easy to form a propaganda effect by putting the prefix of "Zhuge on the few innovations at hand". In the future, when others hear that the prefix of this thing is Zhuge , they will know that it must be reliable.

It's like a group of people selling grilled fish in later generations, and even a group of people selling grilled fish will have to pamper the famous brand "Zhuge ".

After Sun Gan silently recited a sentence in his heart, he boasted to Bu, Wei and the others: "Bu Gong, Wei Gong, you have also seen the effect of this method of flowing gillnets, it is really incredible." And the design of this net, in fact, is the same as the method I told you a few days ago to cultivate soil in advance and plant winter mustard, both from the hands of the same sage.

This great sage has a very good family history, and he knows astronomy and geography, and he is good at medicine and astrology, and he also helped Jun stabilize the morale of the army and win the battle against Liu Xun, everything that comes from his hands, how can it not be useful?

Don't doubt it, let the people plant winter mustard this year. Guangling has been in turmoil for three consecutive years, and the people have long been extremely exhausted, and it is necessary to use all means to restore the people's strength as soon as possible, so that the king will not harm you. ”

Sun Qian's words were earnest, and he also threw out a whole set of systematic arguments, emphasizing that these artifacts were all made by the same person, which really made the persuasiveness much stronger.

The two patriarchs of Bulong and Wei Hui finally nodded, saying that they agreed in principle and went back to persuade the clansmen to plant winter mustard as soon as possible.

After opening this breakthrough, several other Haoqiang families in Huaiyin and Guangling counties also felt that this matter should be reliable. If you let the clansmen spend a little more effort, you can most likely ensure that you can harvest one more season of winter vegetables, which is also a slight supplement.

After all, the technology displayed by Sun Qian today is really too far ahead of their imagination, at least ten times more efficient than the traditional fishing method, which is completely a qualitative improvement level.

However, Bulong and Wei Hui are old and spicy people after all, and they are used to seeing the world. After agreeing in principle, they still chased Sun Qian and asked a lot of details for the sake of peace of mind.

"Sun Zhi, your kind old man has already received it, I just want to ask, who is the sage who is proficient in astronomy and geography that you said helped Liu Yuanjun, who is it? Are we from Guangling? The old man has been in Guangling for many years, and he has never heard of such a capable person in the local area. ”

Sun Qian knew that if this question was not explained clearly, the other party would not be completely relieved, so he thought about it, and still whispered to the ear: "Don't dare to hide it from Bugong, this great sage is indeed not a person from Guangling, and it is not strange that you have not heard of it, but it is indeed our Xuzhou people."

That is the eldest son of the Langya Zhuge family, Mr. Ziyu, the previous generation of the Langya Zhuge family Mr. Jungong and his younger brother, are also erudite and talented, located in the county and government, and their astronomy and geography, the art of war and miscellaneous roots are extremely deep, so don't worry. ”

Wei Hui and some other local clan elders did not know about the Langya Zhuge family, and after listening to Sun Qian's boasting, they became more and more relieved, and expressed their willingness to strengthen cooperation with the government.

However, Bulong was the only one in the crowd who showed a surprised look.

He originally heard Sun Gan say it solemnly, but he believed it a little, but when he heard the name Zhuge Jin, it suddenly had the opposite effect.

Bu Long also saved face for Sun Gan, and after Wei Hui and the other clan elders were separated, he pulled Sun Gan aside alone to speak:

"Who am I, it turned out to be Zhuge Jin's kid's handwriting? How could he possibly have this ability? He and my nephew, as well as Yan Jian of the Yan family in Pengcheng, traveled together in Guangling for a year, I know everything! Aren't they comparable in terms of talent?

The day before yesterday, Qi'er replied to me, and mentioned that I would help him find out Zhuge Jin's whereabouts, saying that he had written a letter a few months ago to make an appointment and had found a place to settle in Wu County, but he didn't see him go to the appointment for a long time. ”

He considers himself an elder, so he doesn't speak by his name at all, he calls him by his first name. Listening to his words, Zhuge Jin seems to be not an outstanding celebrity in Guangling County for more than a year.

Sun Qian had never been to Guangling, and of course he didn't know Zhuge Jin's reputation in the local area in the past.

At this moment, after listening to the talk of these local old-timers, I realized that they seemed to know more details about Mr. Ziyu.

"It turns out that Mr. Ziyu still has so many unknown pasts? In this case, should you inform him and let him contact his old classmates such as Buqi and Yan Ji?

And listening to the meaning of Bu Lao, his nephew and Yan Jian can actually be called the same name as Mr. Ziyu? At least he is a learned man, should he recommend it to his lord......"

Sun Gan didn't know that these people's understanding of Zhuge Jin was completely from the trouble caused by the original owner of the physical body before Zhuge Jin crossed over.

The so-called Bu Qi and Yan Jian are on the same list as Zhuge Jin, and that is also with the original Zhuge Jin, if you compare the current Zhuge Jin with them, those guys would have been completely exploded.

Out of prudence, Sun Qian decided to report the situation to the lord first, and let the lord decide.
