Take the department store back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 408 The eldest son is making up
Make big money in the sand.

It's like sinking to the bottom of the water and not drowning.

Anyway, the ancients of this era would not believe him.

After Zhao Yu spoke dissatisfiedly to Yuan Tan just now, her face was already pale and limp on the ground.

Yuan Tan didn't get angry, but helped him up with his own hands.

Zhao Yu said: "My lord, please forgive the villain's offense. The villain does not want to die, but the villain wants to live."

This sentence speaks out the hearts of the people here.

Yuan Tan knew that the Zhao Yu in history had died a long time ago. Perhaps his appearance allowed the Yuan family to take control of Jizhou one step earlier, and the peaceful life kept Zhao Yun's brother from dying of illness.

Here, he will still give the people a peaceful life.

"Don't worry, everyone, this sandy land is the golden land."

Yuan Tan said seriously.

woo woo woo~.

For a moment, everyone was crying.

Many people knelt softly on the ground.

Obviously, the eldest son wanted them to die, which saved hundreds of thousands of dans of grain.

What is this called?
Pointing at a deer as a horse!

They were afraid and did not dare to resist, they could only cry.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the others looked at each other. Although they were very sympathetic, they also knew that sometimes the king had to be decisive.

Er Gouzi and Zhao Daniu looked at each other. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and they stood by Yuan Tan's side.

"What I said is true, why don't you believe it?"

Yuan Tan said.

"Woooooo, can you believe this?" Zhao Yu cried.

To abandon the people is to abandon the hegemony.

Guo Jia didn't think Yuan Tan would do this, and asked at this moment: "My lord, how do you make money in the sandy land?"

Yuan Tan waited to ask, and said seriously: "We grow fruits and sell them to make money to buy food."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu and the others were taken aback when they heard it, and cried even more, feeling hopeless.

If food cannot be grown, can fruits still grow?
Don't be kidding, okay?

Take human life to do this.

Is it really good?

……

vertical day.

The potpourri in spring.

Qu Zhou's sun shines in the sky.

on the rags of the people.

The best courtyard in the village is also the kind where the adobe walls keep falling off.

The folks are in the middle of the yard, surrounded by a pocket.

In the pocket are seeds. The eldest son said that the crop of this seed is called watermelon.

Even a farmer who has been farming for half a century doesn't know what a watermelon is.

Even Guo Jia, who is called a ghost, doesn't understand.

Yuan Tan understands.

According to the Ming Dynasty scientist Xu Guangqi's "Nongzheng Quanshu": "Watermelons are grown in the Western Regions, so they are named."

Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica": According to Hu Jiao's melon seeds in Huihe, the name is watermelon.This proves that watermelons did not come to China until the Five Dynasties.

He got this kind of seed out of a department store.

General department stores do not sell seeds.

But you need to know that Yuan Tan is the No. 1 cargo building in the capital of later generations. It was formerly state-owned and retained many traditional units.

This kind of seed is also provided for people in the old capital to play tickets in front of and behind the courtyard house, and on the roof of the courtyard.

Some office buildings also grow watermelons on the platform to cultivate the sentiment of employees,

Yuan Tan thinks this should not be true.

"Come on, everyone, let me explain to you." Yuan Tan opened his folding fan, fanned it, and pointed to a bag of seeds, "This is Annong No. watermelon."

He fanned the wind for Zhao Yu and others, and said excitedly: "It is planted on sandy soil. Let me tell you, on fertile land, the yield will decrease instead."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole village was in an uproar.

This comes from the fact that since ancient times, the highest yield per mu is more than 300 catties.

Thousands of catties, it's like crap.

The farmers, men, women, and children, wept bitterly.

This isn't about basking in the sun at the base of the east wall and blowing it casually, it's a matter of life.

Can you stop blowing, can you be more reasonable?
Return Annong No. [-].

It is Hunong No. [-].

This is really: It is difficult to grow wheat in sandy soil, and no seedlings can be served after all kinds of services.The farmer's heart is like soup, and the son still wants to grow fruits.

If Yuan Tan said that he could produce more than a hundred catties, maybe the common people would believe it. After all, his prestige is placed here.

But he said thousands of catties, who would believe that?
Let alone Yuan Tan, the common people would not believe even the resurrected Confucius said these words.

Guo Jia was shocked. Did the eldest son really want to abandon these 10 people in order to keep money and food?
A lie within a lie has to get bigger and bigger.

If this matter spreads to the world, it will completely lose the hearts of the people and cut off the road to hegemony.

And why did the eldest son suddenly not understand this truth?

Anxious in his heart, "My lord..."

"Why, don't you even trust me?" Yuan Tan said dissatisfied.

"This..." Guo Jia really wanted to say that this is not a question of trust or distrust, but a question of untrustworthiness at all.Could it be that he was deceived by someone?
Yuan Tan didn't care anymore, anyway, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the hearts of ancient people with bad brains.

Or speak with facts.

So he wielded his authority, "Pass me an order that all people in Quzhou grow watermelons. If there is no income when harvesting, I will compensate everyone with the grain of the same period in previous years. Remember to keep the watermelons when harvesting. seed."

After speaking, he took out a roll of bamboo slips, "The planting experience is all recorded on it, and every village must make a copy, and plant in strict accordance with the process."

Speaking of this, he became very serious, "If you don't follow the procedure, you will lose the qualification to subsidize food."

The whole village was taken aback.

Well, since the Eldest Young Master compensates, let alone plant watermelon, even if it is called pumpkin, he will plant it.

Guo Jia is in the fog.

So, just ten minutes later.

Yuan Tan appeared in the cultivated field.

And all around, are hundreds of villagers.

Yuan Tan held a big hoe in his hand, and the others were no exception.

The whole village looked at him.

"Bah bah." Yuan Tan spat into each palm, raised the hoe, and shoveled away the wheat seedlings under his feet.

In an instant, the hearts of the whole village jumped out.

This time, there was nothing left.

The eyes of the whole village turned to Zhao Yu, the village head.

Zhao Yu shouted, "Elder Master said to pay compensation, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway! Get rid of it!"

Fluffy, click, click.

Farmers, uprooted the crops.Although the eldest son said to make up, why does he feel so hurt in his heart?
Why is your face so hot?

They are San Mao, Nezha, and Vajra Gourd Baby at the moment.

Produce your own food, and don't do anything for adults.

Before Yuan Tan left, he summoned the whole village, raised his arms high, and said excitedly, "Folks, wait for the good news of the bumper harvest. I'm leaving. We'll meet again in a hundred days."

Harvesting a lot of wool and not being called an idiot by the world is already a high incense, but it is impossible not to be called an idiot.

See you in a hundred days?
never see again.

Everyone in the village smoked it.

……

Three days later.

"Husband, go slowly."

Zhen Ji chased after Yuan Tan, taking care of his attire, and smoothed out a mess of hair.

Yuan Tan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a meeting.

He didn't know that this meeting was specially held for him.

And others don't know either.

After half an hour.

Yuan Shao sat on the three-foot-high hall, looked at his eldest son, felt sorry, and said, "Tan'er, my father heard that your fief is actually sandy land, should you change it to another fief."

He also explained: "At the beginning, it was recommended by Guo Tu, and I didn't even know it was sandy land."

A person immediately stood up, walked out in fear, and knelt down in the hall.He touched the ground with his head and did not dare to raise his head.

This person is of course Guo Tu.

Guo Tu now understands that this mistake has had too much impact.

Is it shameful that the father bestowed Shadidi on his best son?Where is the face?
How to raise hundreds of thousands of hungry people?

Abandoned, Yuan Tan will lose all hope, if not abandoned, in the end, he will lose both people and wealth.

A big fire pit can burn Yuan Tan to death.

Yuan Shang didn't expect his father to bring this matter up on his own initiative, so he secretly smiled, no matter how his elder brother responded, he would lose face.

Guo Tu suddenly raised his head, now, there is only one way to kill him.

He is here to take the blame.

In this case, Yuan Tan can leave some leeway.

"My lord, it's me..."

Yuan Tan got up and interrupted Guo Tu, "Father, I actually chose this sandy land specially."

what!
Everyone was shocked by this statement.

Yuan Shao's widened eyes were gradually filled with relief, one must know that conferring a piece of sandy land to the eldest son who has contributed the most, his father's face will be lost to the whole world.

But when Yuan Tan said this, he solved the problem for him.Even father and son are grateful.

Yuan Shang was an ancient man who watched Peking Opera - he was dumbfounded.

He analyzed many responses, but he just didn't expect it. His elder brother said that he specifically wanted it.

Isn't it stupid to ask for a sandy land?Everyone in the world will say he is stupid.

Yuan Shao also discovered this point, so Yuan Tan will be blamed.

I feel sorry.

Tian Fengju taught them, also thought of this.Immediately, he looked at Yuan Tan with admiration, and took the initiative to bear it, as expected of the eldest son of the Yuan family.

"Brother, why did you choose sandy land?" Yuan Shang asked.

Everyone's face immediately changed, and now they all understand that this is Yuan Tan's scapegoat, so as not to be ridiculed by the world and the fiefdom can be mistaken.

Normal people would not choose sandy soil, how do you ask your elder brother to answer?

If you don't ask, it's lighter, but if you ask, the scapegoat is too heavy.

The third son's question was too cruel.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, these neutral factions who did not fall for any son, felt contempt for them.

Yuan Tan smiled, "There is a kind of fruit called watermelon, which is suitable for growing on sandy soil. I want this Quzhou sandy land just to grow watermelons."

what? What?
fruit?

Everyone was stunned.

Immediately, adoring eyes.

The eldest son is really thoughtful and has prepared such a lie.

"What is watermelon?" Yuan Shang didn't expect there to be lies, so he asked again immediately.

Yuan Tan's expression remained calm, "It's a sandy, sweet and juicy fruit."

(⊙ o ⊙).Yuan Shang was shocked, make up, brother, you continue to make up.

I thought I would not be able to make it up, so I asked, but after I was speechless, my goal was achieved.

Unexpectedly, it can be edited like this.

Everyone was also shocked, the compilation was so good that they all believed it to be true.

"I don't know when the result will be?" Yuan Shang didn't believe it, and continued to chase.

"Around June..." Yuan Tan said.

"I don't know how many catties per mu?"

"It must be three or four thousand catties!"

"What!" Yuan Shangru was struck by lightning, and immediately laughed, "Brother, I can't make it up anymore, I'm making it up."

"Shang'er." Yuan Shao's cold voice came.

Apparently, Yuan Shao also believed that Yuan Tan made it up, just to take the blame for this 'natural disaster', so as not to be ridiculed by the people all over the world, and the feudal lands could be mistaken.

Yuan Shang didn't dare to ask.

"The meeting is over." Yuan Shao immediately ended the meeting, which also meant to protect Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shang, (╯^╰).

Such a good opportunity was forcibly closed.

In fact, Yuan Shang still admires Yuan Tan's responsibility, but he is even more happy that his elder brother took the scapegoat of tens of thousands of people.

When the time comes, everyone in the fief will be begging for food. Where will this face be put?

What Rende spreads all over the world, and generosity is imposed on the people, it is all over.

If tens of thousands of people starved to death in the fief during the famine, things would be even worse.

As long as he works a little bit, his elder brother will lose the qualification to inherit the family business based on this stain.

"Brother, do you mean around June?" Yuan Shang especially caught up with Yuan Tan who was leaving.

How could Yuan Tan not know what this little brother was thinking, "That's right."

"Let's wait and see, little brother." Yuan Shang's eyes turned into crescent moons.

Tian Feng and the others despised Yuan Shang for making things worse, and while they sympathized with Yuan Tan, they also felt that the lie was too much and should be made up.
