Chapter 467: Manichaean Present

"Champa Rice Seeds!"

"That early-maturing seed is enough for a field to reach three crops a year!"

"I heard that the yield is also high, and the highest yield is 500 catties per mu!"

……………………

The lacquer workers in the lacquer garden talked a lot, and their eyes lit up!

"How can that traitor have such good intentions, I heard that this batch of Zhancheng rice seeds was planted by his Fan family's Yizhuang, and he must want to sell them at a high price in Qingxi County to take away our money!" Fang La said angrily.

Everyone knows that the price of Champong rice seeds has reached more than three times that of rice, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng took the opportunity of directly administering Qingxi County to forcibly distribute Champa rice seeds at a high price.

This kind of thing that is good for the people, but takes advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth, is the usual method of officials, and now the people do not believe in this set at all.

The other lacquer workers couldn't help but hesitate, it was a good thing to have Champa rice seeds, but if the asking price was too high, I was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses, not to mention that the money was collected by the traitors.

"You are wrong, it is said that this rice seed is sold at a low price, and it is not expensive at all." The old lacquer worker couldn't hide his excitement.

"Sell at a bargain?"

"Really?"

………………

At the moment, all the lacquer workers couldn't help but be shocked, one by one was unbelievable, after all, the rice seeds of Zhancheng were so popular, even if they doubled, they could be snapped up, and they were not worried about selling at all.

And Fan's Yizhuang's Champa rice seeds were only sold at a low price, wouldn't it give them a big advantage.

"Could it be that Qingxi County really ushered in the Qingtian Lord?" The lacquer workers were skeptical.

Fang La snorted coldly: "What is the Great Master of the Blue Sky, you think that these rice seeds that occupy the city will really be in the hands of civilians such as us, I am afraid that they will have already been occupied by the landlords in the city." ”

Officials protect each other, officials and squires collude, this is the most common thing in the Great Song Dynasty, Fang La knows in his heart that even if the court has any good policies, I am afraid that in the end, it will not be their turn to be ordinary people.

The old lacquer worker shook his head and said, "You are all wrong, these affordable Champa rice are distributed according to each household, and all the extremely poor households can receive one mu of Champa rice seeds for free." ”

When the lacquer workers heard this, they immediately cheered, and immediately went to inquire about the situation.

Fang La was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "Let's go, let's go and see what the traitor is up to?" ”

At that moment, a group of lacquer workers flocked to the county to buy Champa rice seeds.

"The transshipment has given the adults an order, and each household can buy one acre of rice seeds from paddy fields at a reasonable price." In Qingxi County, Bao Kang, who was ordered to come, said loudly.

"Great!"

The people of Qingxi County cheered one after another, with one acre of rice field Zhancheng rice seeds, in the autumn, they can harvest four or five hundred catties, the next year is enough for all the fields to be planted with Zhancheng rice, and they can also monopolize the Zhancheng rice seeds to make a lot of money, which is a good thing for pie in the sky.

"Wait, it's not fair like this!" Suddenly, a voice broke the joy of the crowd.

Bao Kang frowned, only to see an old man in brocade coming from the crowd.

"Master Shi!"

A group of Qingxi people exclaimed, Master Shi is the largest landlord in Qingxi County, and he has a lot of land at home, but he is extremely stingy.

Bao Kang frowned and said: "Bao Mou is distributed according to the household registration of Qingxi County, and the rice seeds of one mu of land per household are unfair!" ”

Master Shi arched his hand and said: "Master Bao, do you know, the distribution by household is indeed very fair, but the Shi family has thousands of acres of land, and ordinary farmers only have a few acres of thin fields, if they are all distributed according to households, then the Shi family's thousands of acres of land can only be divided into one acre of Zhancheng rice seeds, how to use it!" ”

"Yes! My family's fertile land also has 1,000 acres, and I also divide one acre of rice field seeds, which is simply not enough. ”

"Looking at it from below, it needs to be divided according to the number of acres to be fair!"

……………………

Under the leadership of Master Shi, a group of large and small landlords in Qingxi County clamored one after another.

Seeing this, Fang La and the others couldn't help but change their faces, these landlords are all landlords in Qingxi County, and their joint appearance will definitely divide up these Champa rice seeds, and ordinary people can't compete with them at all.

Bao Kang's face sank when he heard this: "This strategy is not appropriate, according to the acres of land, farmers with less land may only be able to get a little bit of Zhancheng rice, and Zhancheng rice planting must start with at least one acre of land, too few rice seeds, will be planted in series, and it is impossible to achieve high yield and early maturity!" ”

"But ............." Master Shi still wanted to continue arguing.

Bao Kang waved his hand and said: "And Champa rice needs to be intensively cultivated in order to have a high yield, and you can't take care of it at all if you wait for too many acres, and only by handing over one acre of rice seeds to each household can Champa rice be carefully taken care of, and more rice seeds can be produced in the coming year." ”

"My lord, what you say is very true!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

The people of Qingxi County cheered one after another, and this was the first time that officials had personally stood on the side of the interests of their ordinary people.

Anyone knows that once they plant Champa rice, they can get a lot of yields, and they can continue to sell rice seeds, although the output of only one acre of rice fields can make them a small fortune, which is precious to ordinary people.

"Master Bao thinks twice, if Master Bao is willing to take care of one or two, we will definitely have a good reward, and even these Zhancheng rice seeds, we are willing to buy them at three times the price, so Master Bao can also explain to the transfer of adults." Master Shi said with a firm face.

"Triple the price?"

Many landlords were distressed for a while, but they knew that this seed money was nothing at all, and as long as they could win this batch of Zhancheng rice seeds, their yield per mu would be further improved, not to mention that they could sell rice seeds to other places in the future, which was enough to make a lot of money.

"Inferior gentleman!"

Fang La and the others were furious, and when they saw that they couldn't squeeze Master Bao, they tried in vain to bribe with money.

The other people of Qingxi County also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, after all, the power of Master Shi and others was quite large in Qingxi County, and if they offended him, it would be easy for them to retaliate.

When Bao Kang heard this, he looked at Master Shi and the others with a sneering expression: "Do you think you know the value of Champa rice seeds?" What will the adults not know? If the transshipment makes adults want to make money, they don't need to pull this batch of rice seeds to Qingxi County, and they can make a lot of money. ”

"Ugh!"

Master Shi and the others' faces changed suddenly, they naturally knew that the rice seeds in Zhancheng were vigorously promoted by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, how could they not know the benefits in it.

Bao Kang said proudly: "The transfer makes the adults promote the policy of enriching the people in Liangzhejiang Road, so that the people can benefit the people, so that the rice seeds of Zhancheng will be transported to Qingxi County, and the opportunity to enrich the people will be given to the people of Qingxi. ”

"You're already so rich, why do you want to compete with us for these small profits!" Fang La hid in the crowd and shouted.

"That's it, for the rich!"

"For the rich, not benevolent!"

In the entire Qingxi County, bursts of chanting suddenly sounded.

The faces of Master Shi and the others suddenly turned red, but Bao Kang was the master of the two Zhejiang transfer envoys, and there was the evil doctor Fan Zheng standing behind him, and he couldn't do anything at all, so he could only leave in a gloomy manner.

"It's really the Blue Sky Master!"

The people of Qingxi cheered! This is the first time they have enjoyed the benefits given by the government, and with the support of Champa rice seeds, their lives will be greatly improved.

"I heard that this Master Bao is the fifth grandson of Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian!"

In the crowd, some people heard of Bao Kang's name and discussed.

"Bao Qingtian!"

Fang La and the others couldn't help but have a flash in their eyes, and looked at Bao Kang with a little more trust.

After Li Qingzhao changed the opera "Chen Shimei", the image of Bao Zheng Bao Qingtian has already spread throughout the Song Dynasty, and Qingxi County has also had a performance of "Chen Shimei".

Seeing this, Bao Kang couldn't help but sneer in his heart, these Champa rice were prepared by the transfer envoy in order to eradicate Manichaeism, so naturally they would not be touched by you, and it was these moths that made Manichaeism so popular in Qingxi County.

Bao Kang looked around at the people and said: "From now on, Qingxi County will be directly managed by the transfer envoys, and the policy of enriching the people will be implemented, and the first step of today's distribution will be the first step, after that, the doctor will be stationed in Qingxi County, and within three years, completely eradicate the potbelly disease, develop the lacquer industry, timber and other industries, and completely lead Qingxi County to prosperity." ”

"Good!"

The people of Qingxi County immediately cheered.

If before, they didn't believe in the government at all, but now Bao Kang publicly rejected the move of Master Shi and others to snatch the rice seeds of Zhancheng, coupled with Bao Kang's reputation as the fifth grandson of Bao Zheng, which made the people of Qingxi County a little more trusted.

"Come on, according to the household registration, immediately distribute rice seeds!"

Bao Kang gave an order and immediately ordered the distribution of rice seeds.

A group of Qingxi people were excited in their hearts, and with excitement for the future, they received one acre of rice fields for Champa rice seeds.

"That traitor is really so kind!"

Fang La looked at the Champa rice seed in his hand, still in disbelief.

"Brother, the Transit Envoy does have the title of an evil doctor, but he has saved countless people, and he is by no means a traitor in everyone's mouth, and even if he is a traitor, what does it have to do with us?" Sister Fang Baihua looked at the rice seeds in Zhancheng and couldn't help but become obsessed.

Qingxi County is mountainous, forested, barren land, low yield, and many families are quite poor.

Fang La also nodded slightly, the evil doctor Fan Zheng did have a bad reputation, but as long as it could bring them benefits, whether it was to sell their reputation or serve the people, it had nothing to do with them.

At that moment, Fang La and his sister Fang Baihua returned home together, and planted Zhancheng rice with the Fang clan's treasures.

"Master Qiyu, all the rice seeds in the county have been sown." A small official hurriedly came to report.

Bao Kang couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and nodded immediately: "Send a message to the transfer envoy, but it's time for the next step." ”

Soon, a paperwork was delivered to Hangzhou City, and it didn't take long for a huge medical team to rush to Qingxi County.

"The transfer envoy is preparing five million Guan Fei money, and the city of Shanghai is being built, which requires a large amount of high-quality wood and labor, and all the people of Qingxi can be hired first, and the government will personally lead the team, as long as there is no big belly disease and night blindness, they can come to apply." Soon, there was good news from Qingxi County.

"Fine timber and labour!"

As soon as this news came out, all the people of Qingxi were in an uproar, and no one thought that such a good thing would be the turn of Qingxi County.

For the evil doctor Fan is preparing five million yuan of flying money, the news of the construction of Shanghai City is not a secret, which is also one of the reasons why the people of Liangzhejiang call it a traitor, but when this splashing wealth fell on the head of Qingxi County, naturally no one said that he was a traitor.

Moreover, Qingxi County's mountainous forests and tung lacquer are exactly the materials urgently needed by Shanghai City and shipping, which is a full five million guan, and a slight leak is enough to make Qingxi County rich, if it is not for Qingxi County to be under the direct jurisdiction of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, how can such a monstrous good thing be their turn.

It's just that the evil doctor Fan Zheng's requirements are a little stricter, and he still needs to check his body.

"Nonsense, of course, you have to check your body, once Shanghai City is built, it will be the world's water transportation center, undertaking the world's maritime merchants, if you let people with big belly diseases go and infect the business travel, wouldn't it spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty." A merchant snorted coldly.

"What about night blindness? Does it also affect work? "A Qingxi common man is not convinced.

"You think that the work in the big city is sunrise and sunset, once the sea ship arrives, no matter what time you need to unload, if you are night blind, how to work at night, if you fall into the Huangpu River, you can only feed the fish." The merchant said proudly.

Many people are dissatisfied, but in order to have the opportunity to work in Shanghai, they can only go to the hospital for a physical examination.

"The eyesight is okay, there is no potbelly disease, pass!"

"Night blindness is serious, don't pass!"

"Night blindness! Don't pass! ”

………………

Soon, one by one, the doctors checked the eyesight of the people in Qingxi, and the potbelly disease was easy to find, and very few of them were detected, but the night blindness patients only needed to enter a dim room and cooperate with Fan Zheng's mountain character map, which immediately exposed the night blindness patients.

"Please be accommodating, my family is poor, and I really need to go to Shanghai to work and earn money." A man with night blindness pleaded bitterly.

The doctor advised: "Night blindness is not difficult to treat, as long as you eat meat for a period of time." ”

"Eat meat!" The people of Qingxi County couldn't help but sigh, they naturally wanted to eat meat, but their families were poor, where could they afford to eat meat.

Seeing this, Bao Kang got up and said: "In order to cure the night blindness in Qingxi County, a large number of cheap salted fish have been transported from the seaside, although it is a sea fish, the salty taste is heavy, and the taste is not good, but it is cheaper and large, enough to cure night blindness." ”

In this era, the sea has not been polluted, coupled with the vigorous development of shipping, the fishing industry has a bumper harvest, but the sea salt technology is quite backward, the sea salt is extremely bitter, and it is difficult to swallow it directly, but Fan Zheng has ingenuity to let it pickle the sea fish, which can be said to make the best use of things.

"Salted fish! It's so cheap! ”

Many people inquired about the price of marine fish, and couldn't help but be excited, salted fish is so cheap, they can afford it, plus cured of night blindness, not only for their own benefit but also to go to Shanghai City to make money, it can be said that killing two birds with one stone.

At present, many people are eager to buy salted fish.

When some Qingxi people heard that they needed to eat meat to cure night blindness, they couldn't help frowning and quietly quit the team.

It's not that they don't want to treat night blindness, it's not that salted fish is too expensive, it's that they're Manichaeans and can't eat meat, they can only eat vegetarianism.
