Chapter 2633 Lure it with profit
Seven hundred pounds!
Everyone around them widened their eyes. Dou Jing's eyes almost popped out of his head. He was breathing quickly and his hands were shaking. He first took the steel scale and inspected it carefully. It was indeed the most standard steel scale and weight produced by the Ministry of Industry. It also bears the seal of the Ministry of Industry, which is definitely not false. Then he instructed the officials from Sinong Temple who followed him to clean the soil from the sweet potatoes bit by bit, and then weighed them meticulously one by one.
No mistake at all, a full seven hundred pounds.
This jaw-dropping number was once again confirmed, and the crowd burst into earth-shattering cheers!
How is it possible to have such a high output?
The corn had already astonished everyone, even His Majesty the Emperor, but now the sweet potato is even more unbelievable than the corn.
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"
Dou Jing's white beard trembled with excitement. The word "auspicious" could no longer describe his shock at this moment. He thought this was a miracle that could only be achieved by a god descending to earth.
He took three steps at a time and came to Fang Jun. He grabbed Fang Jun's hand and said with trembling lips: "Fang Shaobao! Erlang! Let's find a place to discuss how to write this memorial."
As for how other Guanlong nobles felt because of this, he had no time to care.
Dou Jing was completely stunned by the sweet potato yield of 700 kilograms per acre. He didn't even think about what was reserved or what camp. He just wanted to participate in the advent of these new foods as a chief official, and in this way, he could win the emperor's favor. Awarded, and famous throughout history.
Fang Jun had a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly: "Of course we have to be good at discussions. Being able to achieve such a great achievement under the leadership of the prince is really lucky for us as ministers."
His words set the tone for this matter. If you want to share the credit, you must recognize the prince's dominant position, otherwise there will be no discussion.
Dou Jing knew very well what such a feat meant to himself and the entire Dou family. He didn't want to care about other people's feelings. He nodded firmly and said: "The prince's benevolence inspired God, so such gods came to the world. Saving billions of lives and preventing the people of the Tang Dynasty from suffering from hunger. This meritorious service is enough to rival the Three Emperors and surpass the Five Emperors. It is an honor for us to follow the Crown Prince to achieve this feat!”
Fang Jun looked at Li Tai again and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Li Tai's eyes twitched, he looked at the piles of sweet potatoes, bent down to pick up a piece, and looked up at Fang Jun: "Can it be eaten?"
Fang Jun said: "Raw food tastes better than corn."
Li Tai lifted up the hem of his clothes and wiped the soil on the sweet potato, then put it in his mouth and took a sip. A burst of sweet liquid burst out, and he screamed. It was sweet, refreshing and extremely delicious.
After swallowing this big mouthful of sweet potato, Li Tai wiped his mouth and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. Don't involve me, otherwise I will never be done with you!"
After saying that, he took another hard bite.
He can naturally see how important corn and sweet potatoes are to the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty. As long as he can participate in it, he will gain unparalleled huge reputation, which is almost a benefit given to him by Fang Junbai.
But is it really free?
Absolutely impossible.
Just thinking about being involved in the fight for the heir apparent and having to side with the prince to fight against the young slaves made him feel uncomfortable.
Although I was very dissatisfied with the young slave jumping out to fight for the throne and ignoring brotherhood, in the end he was also his biological brother. When the two armies faced off, it only mattered whether they won or lost. Whoever won and who lost would be the tragedy of the Li Tang royal family.
It's better to stay away from it, out of sight, out of sight...
Fang Jun didn't force him, he had to be willing to do this kind of thing. The melons that were forced were not sweet, and they might be hated by others, so he nodded and said: "In that case, Dou Siqing will order someone to cut the sweet potatoes later." The property brought to the palace was reported to His Majesty, and a few pieces of land were brought with him. I will also let Your Majesty have a taste of the melons. The rest of the corn and sweet potatoes will be sealed in the warehouse. Until the spring of next year, a number of suitable fields will be selected in Guanzhong to cultivate vigorously, so that there will be enough seeds to plant all over the country the next year. ”
Dou Jing followed Shan Ruliu: "Everything is arranged by Erlang, and I will have no objection."
Not to mention that this credit was given to him in vain by Fang Jun, but in terms of agricultural attainments, no one can match him in the Tang Dynasty, especially his creation of seedling cultivation methods and sophisticated grafting techniques, which are unparalleled in the world. , compared with him, Sinong Qing himself is simply a layman...
At this moment, he could only agree with any suggestion made by Fang Jun.
After all, as long as the prince's name is added to the memorial, he will part ways with the Guanlong nobles in the future. For his own sake, he has to hug the prince's thigh tightly, and as the prince's number one "thug", Fang Jun is even more A noble person that he must not offend.
Immediately, Fang Jun arranged for people to transport the corn and sweet potatoes back to the village. The corn needed to be dried and then replanted after threshing. The sweet potatoes were directly put into the cellar to maintain humidity and planted in the sand next spring to allow them to germinate. Cut off the bud eyes before planting.
When we returned to Zhuangzi, the whole Zhuangzi was full of people.
Several sheds have been erected in the yard in front of the door. The cooks in the village and the cooks in the restaurants in the market town have gathered together to build several Bagua stoves with green bricks. The coke inside is burning red and vigorously, one bite at a time. Place a large pot on it and bring the water to a rolling boil.
A group of black pigs were tied up and placed not far from the shed. The butcher slaughtered the pigs with a sharp knife. He poured boiling water on the dead pigs and scraped off the pig hair with a scraper to reveal the white and tender pig skin. Then he opened it with a sharp knife. Belly, Cut the fat domestic pig into two parts, run the blade in and out along the bone seam, and in a short time it will be broken down into pieces of pork such as loin chops, hind elbows, tenderloins, etc. The ribs are also picked out, and the internal organs are also cleaned up. Clean and tidy.
More than ten or twenty cooks came to the battle together, and pieces of meat were thrown into the pot for cooking. The aroma of meat instantly filled the entire village. There were many women behind them carrying kitchen knives and changing all kinds of vegetables into knives. It was a busy time of farming. The pig-killing feast was prepared in an orderly manner.
Dou Jing followed Fang Jun to the entrance of Zhuangzi. When he saw such a lively scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "I have lived for such a long time and have seen a lot. However, the atmosphere in Guizhuang is harmonious and united. But it’s unique.”
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously and said casually: "The master is not stingy with money and silk, and the servants are not stingy with physical strength. Naturally, the top and bottom are united, and wealth and honor are respected."
Li Tai sighed: "The truth is very simple, but how many people in the world can do it? The master always tries his best to save more money, but the servants cheat and cheat to save some strength, and they are suspicious of each other. Human nature. ”
Fang Jun smiled and couldn't refute.
The reason why Lishan Farm is completely different from those farms in the Tang Dynasty, and even incompatible with it, is because of the unique "production team model". This model will explode with strong productivity in the early stage, making everyone have a sense of "ownership" ”feeling and try our best to create more wealth.
However, everyone is selfish and lazy. After a period of time, the freshness of the spirit has diminished, and people will find that they have contributed more or less, but in fact it has no impact on Zhuangzi. Personal The power among the masses seems to be negligible, so the situation of "slowing foreign workers" will appear.
This is a complex sociological issue, and a thorough study is enough to support a discipline. Fang Jun could not go into it further. He just smiled and said: "Let's have a few drinks together later. We won't go home until we are drunk."
< br>
Dou Jing nodded repeatedly: "Just this kind of atmosphere makes people feel happy. It is a great joy in life to sing songs to sing your ambitions and accompany them with good wine!"
Li Tai sneered twice and said: "Even if Dou Siqing has never had a drink with this guy at the same table, I'm afraid that when Dou Siqing is supported by his subordinates and returns to the house without knowing anyone else, he will be hungover for three days without waking up. I wish I could bang my head against the pillar to relieve my drunkenness, and never say any pleasant words again.”
He had always known Fang Jun's drinking capacity, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he "drank all the alcohol in Guanzhong". An old and frail guy like Dou Jing might not be able to withstand even one round and would have to go home sideways.
Dou Jing did not take it seriously and said with a smile: "I won't drink when I'm drunk. Is it possible that I can open my mouth and pour wine into it? Haha, I know it well."
"Haha..."
Li Tai sneered, that's because you haven't seen how shameless Fang Jun is when he wants to get someone drunk...
During the Spring Festival, the virus is raging. Brothers, please protect yourself. Stop wandering around. How about staying at home and reading a book? When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, we can enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland again!
