Chapter 60 Chen Xiaobu's Screaming Chicken
Qi Zheng looked at Chen Zifu who came out, and was also a little surprised, what kind of expression was on Chen Zifu's face?
Chen Bo only said, "You are rich."
However, he is not particularly sure, he has to go to the field to have a look.
It's not too early outside now, if we set off now, we should still have enough time to come back.
Without further ado, Chen Bai and Qi Zheng went downstairs, rode their horses, and prepared to take a tour of the fief.
When I just left the academy, I happened to meet a group of students who were going back to Beijing.
Tomorrow is a weekend arranged by Chen Bo. Usually, these students play crazy at school all day and don't want to go home. They also live in the college at night, but they have to go back on weekends, otherwise their parents are not at ease.
"Hurry up, hurry up, there is the last bus, if it is late, there will be no seats."
"Isn't your carriage right next to you? Why are you rushing to squeeze the bus?"
"It's fun, do you want to sit down, I invite you to sit down."
"Bah, as far as the matter of two copper coins is concerned, it's so generous."
It is true that only two copper coins are needed. In fact, the carriage from Shangjing to Qizheng's fiefdom is really not profitable, and it has to be paid backwards, but what are the people who pull it over?Whoever comes here has nothing to do, it must be for consumption, and it’s okay to pay the fare to the other party. It’s convenient for people who come here to buy things, and they can naturally earn back.
Looking at the young man full of joy and sunshine under the setting sun, Chen Bo also smiled, and then rode away.
Their college was built in the Qi Zheng fief, so the destination is not too far away.
It's just that the road is not easy to walk. After letting the horse run for a while, I had to walk slowly.
In fact, Chen Bo hadn't looked around the Qi Zheng fiefdom for a long time, and he noticed a lot of changes.
Small villages have been built in the fief, which should be jointly established by the people who moved in.
For ordinary people like them, when a family repairs a house, other families will come to help, which can save a lot of manpower and cost.
The village is similar to the villages in other places in Shangjing, because it is newly built, it looks quite new.
It was the time when the cooking smoke had cleared up. Compared with the barren mountains and wild mountains before, there was more breath of life.
Don't think that life is difficult just because you build a village in this barren mountain and wild ridge, it's really not true, basically every household in these villages is helping Qi Zheng raise rabbits, take care of grapes, and later the students took [-]% of the profits A mountain of fruit trees.
In addition, many people in Shangjing will come here to play, watch peacocks, buy rabbits and fruits, etc. They can set up a tea stall at home, even if they don’t need to buy firewood to sell firewood in the barbecue area, they can live a good life.
Life is better than imagined, and because their work is not farming in the past, they don't have to worry too much about natural disasters, and they are even more comfortable than before.
Chen Bo was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Qi Zheng had slowly developed his fiefdom without knowing it. Although it may still be a lot worse than other fiefdoms, at least it has begun to improve, right?
The population of Qi Zheng's fief is not too large, which is also the root cause of the inability to become an important town. In fact, there are not enough jobs. The jobs that can be provided now limit the migration of a large number of people and the development of the fief.
but……
Chen Bai looked at Qi Zheng who was standing next to him, "It won't be long before your fiefdom can develop into a very distinctive town."
Qi Zheng was still a little puzzled. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about developing fiefdoms before, but there were too many restrictions, and it would be a disaster to rashly introduce too many people.
Why did Chen Zifu suddenly say such a thing?
Has something to do with the soil he analyzed for him just now?
After thinking about it, he didn't think about why. He knew his fief the most, but he didn't seem to see anything strange.
Chen Bo didn't say anything to death, he still needs to investigate before he can be sure.
"Where did you dig all that dirt?"
Qi Zheng pointed to the front, and then led the way.
It didn't take long to arrive at the destination. It was a small beach with traces of excavated soil on it.
This small stagnant water beach is formed by the upstream water passing through here, and then silting up here.
When Chen Bo looked up, he could see the water flow above. The water flow was very flat, flowing down from the upper reaches.
Chen Bai got off his horse, bent down to observe for a while, and then took up the water with his hands, but was stopped by Qi Zheng, "I can't drink it, this water is very bitter, even cattle and sheep can't drink it, I heard that I drank it by mistake The cattle and sheep in the water here are all dead."
"The water here comes from a lake above. There happened to be an impoverished village in a nearby county by the lake. They finally raised some cattle and sheep, but they died and were listed in the local county annals. At the beginning, there was a commotion. You can't do it. I wanted to get rid of poverty, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite. As a result, the whole village had to be moved away. One is unlucky, and the other is that there is no way to live there..."
"This is a lake of poisonous water. It won't work even if it is watered by dealers. It is useless at all."
What happened to Chen Zifu?I usually love cleanliness to the point of appalling. For example, their college now has shoe racks on the first floor, and you have to take off your shoes when you enter. Every day, you can see those students running around the college with their feet on their feet. It did keep the college unexpectedly clean and comfortable to live in.
But Chen Zifu actually held water and fed it to his mouth just now. Even ordinary nobles can't do this kind of thing. Besides, their horses also have water bags hanging on them. A servant saw them going out just now and hung them specially.
Chen Bo smiled, tapped the water in his palm with his finger and put it near his mouth, "It's really bitter."
Qi Zheng: "..."
Didn't he just say that?Really... If he said it was poison, wouldn't Chen Zifu try to see if it was real poison?
Chen Bo said, "You said there is a lake on it, full of water like this?"
Qi Zheng nodded, "It's a very big lake. I guess it's because of the lake water that the land in my fief is not suitable for farming."
Chen Bai's eyes are bright, the lake that affects the entire fief, it has to be big.
Qi Zheng frowned, "What's the problem?"
Chen Bo said, "The problem is serious. If it is what I think, it is basically impossible for you to change the soil quality for farming."
No matter how you change the soil quality, it will only be in a small area. Wanting to change the entire fief is like a dream.
Chen Bo continued, "However, if it is used for other purposes, it may be more meaningful than arable land."
Qi Zheng was taken aback for a moment. What is the most important use for farming than farming?
Chen Bo and the others continued to walk up, and they saw a really big lake.
Surrounded by mountains, the lake is in the middle, connected to nowhere.
This is the bird's-eye view of Qi Zheng's entire fiefdom.
Chen Bo's eyes shone brightly, "Fuck it, Qi Zheng, your fief is really a precious land. When the king rewarded you here, it was really a mistake."
Qi Zheng: "Is this bitter lake valuable?"
I really can't figure it out, since it can't be used for watering, even cattle and sheep will die if they drink poisonous water, how can it be valuable?I didn't see anyone else moving out of the whole village because of bad luck.
Chen Bai nodded, "It's not right to say that the lake water is valuable, but the salt contained in the lake water is valuable."
Salt has come from many sources since ancient times, such as sea salt, lake salt, mine salt, well salt and so on.
Chen Bo said, "Don't you think that besides being bitter, the water in this lake is also very salty? The salt content should not be low."
Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly dipped a little lake water with his finger and put it in his mouth.
Chen Bo said, "Don't eat too much, although most of the bacteria in this kind of lake water have been killed, but eating too much of the minerals in it will poison people, that's why the cattle and sheep died after drinking the lake water. "
Qi Zheng felt the bitterness in his mouth, and it really contained a strong salty taste.
In the past, it was rumored that the water in this lake was poisonous, and because of its remoteness, no one really paid attention to it.
However, Qi Zheng frowned, "Eating this water can kill cattle and sheep, and I'm afraid people will eat it...even if you can get salt out of it, isn't it poisonous salt?"
Salt is indeed a good thing. Nobles use refined salt, and civilians use coarse salt, but no matter what they are, the price is not low, but it is not good if you don’t eat salt. If you don’t eat salt, you will lose strength and get sick easily.
Salt has always been one of the great expenses of the people.
Chen Bo said, "You don't have to worry about this. The reason why the lake is poisonous is because there are other toxic metals in the lake water, and I have a way to remove these toxic metals."
Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that the mixed lake water seemed to him to be the same thing, how could it separate out different things?
However, if it is possible to extract non-toxic salt, this lake is really a treasure.
Can't help looking into the distance, this lake is not a dead lake, its water also flows from other places.
Then he shook his head again, and the fiefdoms were released in other places, and even extended to other countries, even if he had more energy than he wanted.
"Really?" Qi Zheng raised his voice a little bit. For Daqian, salt is also the foundation of people's livelihood, and it can be said that it is no less important than potatoes.
Chen Bai didn't answer, but frowned a little, "Can't we produce salt privately? It seems to be official salt. If it is handed over to the imperial court, it is estimated that the benefits that can still be distributed are just a little bit. Such a large piece of land was wasted."
Qi Zheng's expression became weird, "Theoretically, this is true for me to work hard, but there is no absolute. As long as it is operated properly, although it is still official officially and does not violate the law of my big work, the benefits in private It doesn’t need to fall into the hands of others, but the right to produce salt is indeed a big deal, and it can only be achieved with someone like Sangong as a guarantee.”
However, he really does not lack three public guarantees. Although it is troublesome to set up an official salt production right, it is not impossible.
Chen Bo swallowed his saliva, "Let's talk about it in detail."
Damn, this is a very lucrative business. In the past, whether it was raising rabbits or growing fruits, the cost was not low, but the mining of lake salt is different. As long as the technology is mature, all it needs is manpower.
After he went back, he quickly searched for the mining technology of lake salt. In ancient times, there were not so many high-tech technologies, and salt was mined in various ways. As far as he knew, since the Tang Dynasty, salt has actually been It is no longer a problem that plagues the people's livelihood, that is to say, since then, the salt production has been very high.
They didn't finish talking along the way, and when they returned to the college, the two went to the small room. I don't know how long this discussion has passed.
When he came out of the small room, Chen Bai couldn't help being taken aback, because Meng Huanchao was standing at the door holding a food plate.
I almost forgot, the students are on weekends and are not in the academy, but Meng Huanchao is still there.
Meng Huanchao looked at Chen Bo, and at Qi Zheng who came out of the house, his face was full of strange expressions, it must be midnight now.
Chen Zifu's earth-shattering reputation of Broken Sleeve is still resounding in Beijing, and it is precisely because Chen Zifu has become a bachelor of Zhaoxue University and a bachelor of writing, so this reputation has not faded, but has become even louder.
Although Meng Huanchao knew the root cause, he heard people in Shangjing discussing Chen Zifu's habit of breaking his sleeves every day, and now he came out of Qi Zheng's room in the middle of the night, and the two looked lazy. It's the live version of the post-event scene.
Chen Bo: "...No...it's not what you saw, we just... just chatted."
Meng Huan gave a oh, the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is anything, among the famous people all over the world, Lord Longyang of Wei Guo..."
Chen Bo let out a sigh in his heart, you go to comfort the others, he always felt that it would be okay not to comfort him, once he comforted him, it was as if it really happened, so he quickly interrupted, "Why are you here?"
Meng Huanchao lifted the food plate on the handle, "There is a lot of food left today, and the students won't come to the college tomorrow, so I just heat it up in the microwave and eat it together to avoid waste."
It turns out that this guy can even use a microwave oven.
But Chen Bo took the food plate, "This dish feels like it's getting cold."
How long has it been hot? How did it come out?
Meng also blinked his eyes, "It should be the first time to use a microwave oven, and I'm still not familiar with it. I'll heat it up again."
"Together." Chen Bo said, just a little hungry.
Meng also smiled on his face, "Yes."
Qi Zheng also followed obediently, because he didn't eat at night either.
Three people, one meal, eating quite harmoniously.
During the period, Chen Bo also said to Qi Zheng, "Now Meng Huanchao is my man, and he has sworn an oath, so don't be reluctant."
Since a person like Meng Huanchao doesn't know how to reject others, the oath he took when he was admitted to the hospital has a strong binding force on him.
Moreover, Meng Huanchao is really easy to get along with. He is a person who is willing to listen to what others have to say. For such a person, many people should be willing to talk about their thoughts in front of him.
……
On the second day, Chen Bai got up early because he had to go to Beijing today.
Today is the time for his students to preach on lettuce growing.
Qi Zheng also woke up early, because Yunshang College is a college in his fiefdom, and it is a college that he bought with credit for the imperial court to help build.
Today, these students are preaching, and he must also listen to it.
Moreover, he also knew what was being said, and the importance of it had too much to do with it. He had to be present, and he was originally one of the heroes.
These students are only responsible for preaching, and other things have to be done by Qi Zheng.
For example, build a high platform for preaching in front of the Qi government.
For example, let people publicize this lecture everywhere in Shanghai.
There were quite a lot of people who came, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people. Some of them were even unidentified, but they looked like noble sedan chairs among them.
Because the slogan that Qi Zheng asked people to publicize this speech was really amazing, so even though it was just a speech by a group of students, it is impossible for ordinary people or officials to remain indifferent after hearing such a slogan.
Su Jin, Crown Prince of Wei State, was among them. He was very surprised to see such a scene. Is this just some students' propaganda?
This scene is even worse than the publicity of celebrities in the world.
Chen Bo was in charge of providing the electronic loudspeakers for the lectures, because there were too many people, and the voices were too low to be transmitted.
The first person to speak on stage was actually Qi Zheng, the leader's speech before the opening?
For such a big matter, Qi Zheng must have something to do with himself, although it is indeed justified.
Qi Zheng was still a little awkward holding the megaphone, but he spoke expressionlessly on the surface.
"The students of the Yunshang Academy I supervise have new academic achievements to be released after a period of research."
Then there is nothing.
I don't know if it was because the leader's speech was so short, or why the prince's voice suddenly became like Lei Gong, and the scene was so quiet for a while.
Then, one by one students who were particularly neatly dressed began to take the stage.
The little man, wearing a formal gown, looks like a scholar.
Recently, these students are using the shower gel and shampoo that Chen Bo bought for them. The long hair of the ancients used to be difficult to manage. Even nobles wash their hair every day, because they use saponins, and their hair is very dry.
But these students are different. After such a long time of care, the hair is really like silk.
Therefore, although the person is small, he already has the posture of a suave, romantic and famous person.
Chen Bo couldn't help but shook his head amusedly when he saw it. Usually, these students were one or two like a joke, but today they are very serious.
Wei Crown Prince Su Jin also looked at it seriously, and the little emperor said that there lived a group of monsters in that college, which were as incredible as monsters to all countries.
But he also inquired a little bit, isn't the people in the academy just some students?
A little confused, so he observed very carefully today.
At this time, the students' voices with strange tones came from the stage.
"Fathers and folks in Beijing, fellow compatriots of Dagan, hello everyone, this is the new academic conference of Yunshang College."
"I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar with the academic conference of our Yunshang Academy. At the last academic conference, we released the Ji Zhu, and now the Ji Zhu has entered thousands of households..."
"So what are we going to announce today?"
At this time, someone in the audience shouted loudly, "I heard that today you are going to talk about how to prevent our people from starving and completely solve my famine problem. Is it true?"
"That's right, we came here only after hearing the news."
"You can solve problems that even a hundred officials can't solve? The loom you released last time is really easy to use, so don't ruin your reputation."
"No, I heard that the construction of your college cost an unimaginable amount of money. If it is messed up, the reputation that has been accumulated so hard will be gone."
On the stage, several young hosts frowned, what's going on, what's going on?
Their process doesn't have these, oops, forget it, just read the manuscript.
"Although we are young, we have also traveled to the country of Lu to study."
"Before we arrived in the country of Lu, we passed through one town after another in Dagan. There were people starving to death on the side of the road, and their bones were extremely cold. There were old people sitting in front of the tomb, willing to die, and some children were emaciated..."
Sentence by sentence is like telling a short story, because it is true, it is more immersive.
What is the current situation of Daqian, don't the people in Beijing know?
No, they know better than anyone else, and the refugees who gather outside Shangjing year after year are the best proof.
The bones are especially cold, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is too rare. It seems that it is not a rare thing in this era.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense.
The voice on the high platform continued, "Why are these?"
"Because we were so poor and didn't have enough food to eat, the people had to starve to death, and the old people had to wait by the graveside to reduce food consumption..."
Quiet quiet.
"This is my great sorrow, this is my great misfortune."
"But what we want to tell everyone is that from this year on, I will work hard... and no one will starve to death again."
wow.
They all couldn't believe what they heard.
All the officials who got the news couldn't help but lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with their hands and looked up to the high platform.
And the parents of those students were even a little tearful, their children are promising.
From now on, Dagan will remember their names.
The students on the high platform continued, "To solve the famine, there must be food, and no one can avoid it."
"So we redirected and cultivated one of the most common wild lettuces we have grown."
"Someone must ask, although there is a lot of lettuce, but it will kill people, isn't this harmful?"
"Today, what we want to preach is actually how to grow lettuce reasonably, so that this bitter and poisonous wild vegetable can become a delicious vegetable that we often eat."
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, the students who had prepared earlier in the audience excitedly pushed out cart after cart of lettuce.
"This is the lettuce that we cultivated specifically. You can have a taste."
Car after car, it looks pretty good.
Sure enough, someone soon noticed the difference, "These lettuces have no traces of being eaten by pests. How did you do that?"
In Dagan, there are indeed lettuces all over the mountains and plains, but the basic leaves have been eaten up by insects.
Look at these again, the leaves are intact, and the green is unimaginable.
We all know that lettuce is poisonous, and we all know that eating a small amount is actually harmless.
So when the students pushed the cart in front of them, peeled the lettuce and gave them a piece of lettuce with a knife, they didn't refuse.
Some people frown and put the lettuce in their mouths, because it seems to remind them of some bad taste.
However, after chewing it lightly, his complexion suddenly changed, it was not bitter at all, but rather sweet.
This... how is this done?Is this still the lettuce they remember?
The student who handed the lettuce also smiled and said, "The lettuce is delicious when eaten raw, but it will taste even better if you add some salt and mix it. I can usually eat a big bowl."
After all, the people in Beijing are more particular than the poor people, so lettuce can also be eaten with some tricks, a vegetable that can be eaten no matter what class it is.
"We happen to have some ready-made mix here, you can try it."
Inside the plate, shredded lettuce and green strips were placed neatly and looked pretty.
Once in the mouth, the refreshing taste is actually very delicious, at least not worse than other vegetables.
This is lettuce, the most indispensable thing for them to do is this kind of wild vegetable.
I don't know how many people trembled in their hearts after being unbelievable, and then I don't know how many people's eyes were red and moist.
"If... if there had been such lettuce earlier, the whole family of my second father-in-law would not have starved to death at home."
"Ugh..."
The whole scene was in chaos. To be honest, none of these people had one or two poor relatives in their families, and the probability of such a tragic tragedy happening is not low in this era.
The cries were felt by others, who had seen and heard them, if not experienced them themselves.
So this emotion is very contagious.
This is also the reason why Chen Bo had to come in person and had to hold this lecture in front of the Qi government, because he clearly understood that the situation might be out of control.
Crying, crying, sad, the scene was indeed a little chaotic.
Even those senior officials sitting in the sedan chair couldn't help but taste the lettuce pushed in front of them. They must have never eaten such a thing in their lives.
Baiguan may have more thoughts in his heart. After trying lettuce, he just stood there in a daze.
They have worked hard, and they know better than the people in Shangjing that the situation in some poor places is basically unimaginable.
They are more aware of what this delicious and non-toxic lettuce means to Dagan. It means that the people in Dagan will have the most basic guarantee of life from now on.
Wei Crown Prince Su Jin also tasted it, and then stopped talking.
He finally understood why Uncle Xiaohuang mentioned a big job, and it is likely that they will soon be able to solve their livelihood problems.
The dried lettuce is as numerous as the empty mulberry flowers in Wei State.
Wei Crown Prince Su Jin's heart tightened, such a big effort, if coupled with the little emperor's uncle said, if the weapon of Daqian can really be stronger than other countries, it is really possible to change the situation where the countries are tied together.
He sees things that others don't, and it's a thriving trend.
The voices on stage continued.
"Lettuce is poisonous because it contains bitterness, which is the bitterness we feel when we eat it. As long as the bitterness is removed, it will become a new sweet vegetable that we are now."
"We found a kind of green moss. As long as lettuce seeds are mixed with such green moss, when it grows, the green moss will also grow and absorb the bitterness in the lettuce."
"This kind of green moss is also very common, and it can be found in large quantities on old trees in deep mountains, so mixing lettuce seeds with green moss will not be a problem at all."
"If you want lettuce to grow well, you have to consider how to repel insects. We found a kind of branch liquid, which is the natural enemy of lettuce pests. We only need to dilute this liquid to a certain ratio and sprinkle it on the lettuce. These pests can be killed on the leaves."
"Considering the possible toxicity of this liquid and the difficulty in controlling the degree of dilution by the common people, this process will be completely handed over to the prince's administration."
"When the lettuce planted in the future needs to kill insects, you can go to the store arranged by the prince to buy this dilution. The price is so cheap that you can ignore it. This is the promise of the prince."
"Of course, the Prince's Office will also provide a watering can for spraying diluent..."
Qi Zheng will not make this money, but he will make money from the imperial court. This matter must be cooperated with the imperial court in order to promote it honestly and everywhere.
As long as the Qi government does not make excessive demands, it is impossible for the court not to agree to such a great achievement that can prevent a large number of people from starving to death.
This is destined to be a sensational day, and it is also destined to be a day when Dagan will be recorded in history.
Students are explaining how to grow these lettuces to the uninitiated.
Looking at the small people frowning and explaining patiently one by one, because some people just don’t understand what they say, worrying.
The people of Shangjing suddenly felt a little stunned, just like they suddenly had so many celebrities in the capital.
It is impossible for the palace to be unaware of such a big event, and it is also an indisputable fact that a large amount of edible lettuce has been grown.
Sure enough, almost at the moment when the press conference ended, the imperial edict from the palace came.
"Your Majesty has a decree to bestow rewards on all the students of the Yunshang Academy, and bestow the bestowal on all the students as Hongwenguan Sanren."
A short sentence caused a sensation in the whole scene.
Although Hongwenguan Sanren is just a title and does not seem to have a real job, he is a kind of affirmation for scholars, and for scholars, this is an honor.
A group of students were also a little dumbfounded. They became loose members of Hongwen Museum at such a young age?
Some of the gentlemen of the Beijing Academy of Arts have not yet been awarded this title.
They are all sons of nobles, what do they lack is power?No, this is not what they lack most, what they lack is glory and fame.
The parents of those students also opened their mouths. Whether a noble family can last forever depends not on how powerful and powerful your family is, but whether there are successors.
Just the title of a Hongwenguan Sanren is enough to support the reputation of their family. The key is how old their children are. Who can say whether they will go further in the future? This possibility is still very high, because there are still too many people. More time allows them to fight hard, they are still young.
Thinking about it again, what their children have done is indeed worthy of the title of Hongwenguan Sanren. No matter what they say in front of anyone, they can proudly raise their heads. Pick out a little thorn.
They also had to be thankful that they didn't hold back these little ancestors and sent them to that academy.
There are two copies of the imperial decree, one is to reward the students of Yunshang Academy, and the other is to announce Chen Bai and Qi Zheng to enter the palace.
It was probably a reward for Chen Bo and Qi Zheng, and a discussion on how to promote lettuce.
It is impossible for Qi Zheng to promote such a thing, and the court will ignore it.
Sure enough, when Chen Bo and Qi Zheng came to the palace, the king and Sangong were there.
The first is to discuss the rewards for the two.
The merits are in the country, and they have to be rewarded. Even the king cannot go against the will of the people.
"Conferring Chen Zifu as a Cabinet Counselor University Bachelor..."
The name of Zhaoxue University is reputation, and writing is a duty. The current Cabinet Counselor is different, which shows that Chen Bo can formally join the discussion of government affairs in the future.
And the cabinet is already an existence that can control the fate of the big officials, so it is okay to call Chen Bai a small cabinet elder.
Chen Bo was taken aback, a cabinet counselor as young as him is really unique.
Chen Bo hurriedly thanked him.
Qi Zheng's reward was more troublesome, and Qi Zheng was also more straightforward in the end. What he wanted was the complete tax exemption and development rights of his fiefdom.
Chen Bo narrowed his eyes, this guy is really... no profit.
On the contrary, the king and the third prince are a little puzzled. As for Qi Zheng's fief in the poor countryside, I heard that it has improved a bit, but it is far behind the general fief. Development rights?
Your Majesty discussed it with San Gong, and they really don't think they can get any tax from Qi Zheng's fiefdom. As for the right to development, what can be developed for those broken mountains and lakes, and it's Qi Zheng's fiefdom, unless something happens Qi Zheng has the final say on the right to develop special resources.
In the end it was settled.
Chen Bodu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and glanced at the calm Qi Zheng, this guy is a sullen guy.
Do you know how much the development of lake salt that does not pay taxes is worth?Daqian salt is really money.
Qi Zheng negotiated with them on the promotion of the rest of the lettuce.
It is impossible to delay this kind of thing, it is estimated that the court is busy.
When Chen Bo returned home, Chen Xiaobu changed into a very festive little robe in front of him.
"Brother, mother insisted on dressing me up like this. Why did you say that there was another Hongwenguan loose person in the family? What a face, so you have to dress festively."
Chen Bo is also a little funny, Chen Xiabu is like a little fuwa now.
But before he laughed for long, he felt like crying.
Because Mrs. Ronghua didn't let him go.
The two Fuwas, one big and one small, looked at each other in blank dismay.
Especially after Mrs. Ronghua learned that Chen Bai was named a cabinet counselor, she was even more serious, "Such a young Mr. Xiaoge, no, no, I have to call all my relatives from my natal family to celebrate. The relatives of the family are also called, didn’t they say before that our Tingwei’s mansion is impersonal, this time let them know what is human.”
Chen Bo: "..."
The next day, Chen Bo took Chen Xiaobu out, because Mrs. Ronghua was really sending out invitations like a net, and they didn't expect to be surrounded like a monkey.
It just so happened that I didn't have to go to the academy today, and I was still on weekends, taking Chen Xiaobu around.
"Brother, let's go to the treasure appraising meeting of the merchants of the Yan Kingdom. The merchants of the Yan Kingdom just came to our capital." He was still a little excited.
Yan State is a bit special among the countries. Perhaps because of the land, Yan State not only focuses on agriculture, but also focuses on commerce, and caravans are spread all over the countries. It may also be because their land production is not enough for their own consumption.
Therefore, the Yan Kingdom is a very special existence among the various countries, and it is also the most affluent existence.
And the annual treasure appraising meeting of merchants in the country of Yan is particularly interesting.
Because they do business in various countries, they always bring some strange treasures.
However, no matter how precious the treasure is, it is also a thing to watch in Dagan, because the Dagan law clearly stipulates that those so-called treasures and wonderful things are not allowed to be exchanged for grain and cloth currency.
This is a kind of protection of people's livelihood.
In other words, if you have rare treasures, you can collect them yourself or exchange them with others, but they cannot be linked to food, cloth or money.
Otherwise, Chen Bo would have made a fortune by buying some rare gadgets with his mobile phone and selling them as treasures.
Chen Bai thought for a while, the treasure appraising conference in Yan Kingdom would last for a while, and it was indeed a fun place, so he took Chen Xiaobu away.
It was only after he went there that he realized that it was really lively, and that's right, it was a rare event in Beijing.
No matter merchants, noble gentry, or noble families, there are everything that one expects to find. It can also be seen how successful Yan merchants have done their business.
Chen Xiaobu couldn't bear it anymore and ran around.
Chen Bo let the servants of Tingwei's mansion follow, as long as he didn't leave here alone, it's not a big problem.
Then I also chose some interesting objects and looked at them, all of which are priceless antiques.
In the eyes of Chen Bo, these things may be more valuable than in the eyes of these businessmen.
On Chen Xiaobu's side, he was leading Damaiding, holding a screaming chicken in his hand, followed by a group of people who looked after him, and walked towards a booth surrounded by many people.
"Barter, is there anyone who likes this night pearl? Just exchange it with something of equivalent value."
It turned out that they were here to exchange things, no wonder there were so many interesting people around.
At this time, the Screaming Chicken in Chen Xiaobu's hands creaked and screamed.
Chen Bo only said, "You are rich."
However, he is not particularly sure, he has to go to the field to have a look.
It's not too early outside now, if we set off now, we should still have enough time to come back.
Without further ado, Chen Bai and Qi Zheng went downstairs, rode their horses, and prepared to take a tour of the fief.
When I just left the academy, I happened to meet a group of students who were going back to Beijing.
Tomorrow is a weekend arranged by Chen Bo. Usually, these students play crazy at school all day and don't want to go home. They also live in the college at night, but they have to go back on weekends, otherwise their parents are not at ease.
"Hurry up, hurry up, there is the last bus, if it is late, there will be no seats."
"Isn't your carriage right next to you? Why are you rushing to squeeze the bus?"
"It's fun, do you want to sit down, I invite you to sit down."
"Bah, as far as the matter of two copper coins is concerned, it's so generous."
It is true that only two copper coins are needed. In fact, the carriage from Shangjing to Qizheng's fiefdom is really not profitable, and it has to be paid backwards, but what are the people who pull it over?Whoever comes here has nothing to do, it must be for consumption, and it’s okay to pay the fare to the other party. It’s convenient for people who come here to buy things, and they can naturally earn back.
Looking at the young man full of joy and sunshine under the setting sun, Chen Bo also smiled, and then rode away.
Their college was built in the Qi Zheng fief, so the destination is not too far away.
It's just that the road is not easy to walk. After letting the horse run for a while, I had to walk slowly.
In fact, Chen Bo hadn't looked around the Qi Zheng fiefdom for a long time, and he noticed a lot of changes.
Small villages have been built in the fief, which should be jointly established by the people who moved in.
For ordinary people like them, when a family repairs a house, other families will come to help, which can save a lot of manpower and cost.
The village is similar to the villages in other places in Shangjing, because it is newly built, it looks quite new.
It was the time when the cooking smoke had cleared up. Compared with the barren mountains and wild mountains before, there was more breath of life.
Don't think that life is difficult just because you build a village in this barren mountain and wild ridge, it's really not true, basically every household in these villages is helping Qi Zheng raise rabbits, take care of grapes, and later the students took [-]% of the profits A mountain of fruit trees.
In addition, many people in Shangjing will come here to play, watch peacocks, buy rabbits and fruits, etc. They can set up a tea stall at home, even if they don’t need to buy firewood to sell firewood in the barbecue area, they can live a good life.
Life is better than imagined, and because their work is not farming in the past, they don't have to worry too much about natural disasters, and they are even more comfortable than before.
Chen Bo was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Qi Zheng had slowly developed his fiefdom without knowing it. Although it may still be a lot worse than other fiefdoms, at least it has begun to improve, right?
The population of Qi Zheng's fief is not too large, which is also the root cause of the inability to become an important town. In fact, there are not enough jobs. The jobs that can be provided now limit the migration of a large number of people and the development of the fief.
but……
Chen Bai looked at Qi Zheng who was standing next to him, "It won't be long before your fiefdom can develop into a very distinctive town."
Qi Zheng was still a little puzzled. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about developing fiefdoms before, but there were too many restrictions, and it would be a disaster to rashly introduce too many people.
Why did Chen Zifu suddenly say such a thing?
Has something to do with the soil he analyzed for him just now?
After thinking about it, he didn't think about why. He knew his fief the most, but he didn't seem to see anything strange.
Chen Bo didn't say anything to death, he still needs to investigate before he can be sure.
"Where did you dig all that dirt?"
Qi Zheng pointed to the front, and then led the way.
It didn't take long to arrive at the destination. It was a small beach with traces of excavated soil on it.
This small stagnant water beach is formed by the upstream water passing through here, and then silting up here.
When Chen Bo looked up, he could see the water flow above. The water flow was very flat, flowing down from the upper reaches.
Chen Bai got off his horse, bent down to observe for a while, and then took up the water with his hands, but was stopped by Qi Zheng, "I can't drink it, this water is very bitter, even cattle and sheep can't drink it, I heard that I drank it by mistake The cattle and sheep in the water here are all dead."
"The water here comes from a lake above. There happened to be an impoverished village in a nearby county by the lake. They finally raised some cattle and sheep, but they died and were listed in the local county annals. At the beginning, there was a commotion. You can't do it. I wanted to get rid of poverty, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite. As a result, the whole village had to be moved away. One is unlucky, and the other is that there is no way to live there..."
"This is a lake of poisonous water. It won't work even if it is watered by dealers. It is useless at all."
What happened to Chen Zifu?I usually love cleanliness to the point of appalling. For example, their college now has shoe racks on the first floor, and you have to take off your shoes when you enter. Every day, you can see those students running around the college with their feet on their feet. It did keep the college unexpectedly clean and comfortable to live in.
But Chen Zifu actually held water and fed it to his mouth just now. Even ordinary nobles can't do this kind of thing. Besides, their horses also have water bags hanging on them. A servant saw them going out just now and hung them specially.
Chen Bo smiled, tapped the water in his palm with his finger and put it near his mouth, "It's really bitter."
Qi Zheng: "..."
Didn't he just say that?Really... If he said it was poison, wouldn't Chen Zifu try to see if it was real poison?
Chen Bo said, "You said there is a lake on it, full of water like this?"
Qi Zheng nodded, "It's a very big lake. I guess it's because of the lake water that the land in my fief is not suitable for farming."
Chen Bai's eyes are bright, the lake that affects the entire fief, it has to be big.
Qi Zheng frowned, "What's the problem?"
Chen Bo said, "The problem is serious. If it is what I think, it is basically impossible for you to change the soil quality for farming."
No matter how you change the soil quality, it will only be in a small area. Wanting to change the entire fief is like a dream.
Chen Bo continued, "However, if it is used for other purposes, it may be more meaningful than arable land."
Qi Zheng was taken aback for a moment. What is the most important use for farming than farming?
Chen Bo and the others continued to walk up, and they saw a really big lake.
Surrounded by mountains, the lake is in the middle, connected to nowhere.
This is the bird's-eye view of Qi Zheng's entire fiefdom.
Chen Bo's eyes shone brightly, "Fuck it, Qi Zheng, your fief is really a precious land. When the king rewarded you here, it was really a mistake."
Qi Zheng: "Is this bitter lake valuable?"
I really can't figure it out, since it can't be used for watering, even cattle and sheep will die if they drink poisonous water, how can it be valuable?I didn't see anyone else moving out of the whole village because of bad luck.
Chen Bai nodded, "It's not right to say that the lake water is valuable, but the salt contained in the lake water is valuable."
Salt has come from many sources since ancient times, such as sea salt, lake salt, mine salt, well salt and so on.
Chen Bo said, "Don't you think that besides being bitter, the water in this lake is also very salty? The salt content should not be low."
Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly dipped a little lake water with his finger and put it in his mouth.
Chen Bo said, "Don't eat too much, although most of the bacteria in this kind of lake water have been killed, but eating too much of the minerals in it will poison people, that's why the cattle and sheep died after drinking the lake water. "
Qi Zheng felt the bitterness in his mouth, and it really contained a strong salty taste.
In the past, it was rumored that the water in this lake was poisonous, and because of its remoteness, no one really paid attention to it.
However, Qi Zheng frowned, "Eating this water can kill cattle and sheep, and I'm afraid people will eat it...even if you can get salt out of it, isn't it poisonous salt?"
Salt is indeed a good thing. Nobles use refined salt, and civilians use coarse salt, but no matter what they are, the price is not low, but it is not good if you don’t eat salt. If you don’t eat salt, you will lose strength and get sick easily.
Salt has always been one of the great expenses of the people.
Chen Bo said, "You don't have to worry about this. The reason why the lake is poisonous is because there are other toxic metals in the lake water, and I have a way to remove these toxic metals."
Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that the mixed lake water seemed to him to be the same thing, how could it separate out different things?
However, if it is possible to extract non-toxic salt, this lake is really a treasure.
Can't help looking into the distance, this lake is not a dead lake, its water also flows from other places.
Then he shook his head again, and the fiefdoms were released in other places, and even extended to other countries, even if he had more energy than he wanted.
"Really?" Qi Zheng raised his voice a little bit. For Daqian, salt is also the foundation of people's livelihood, and it can be said that it is no less important than potatoes.
Chen Bai didn't answer, but frowned a little, "Can't we produce salt privately? It seems to be official salt. If it is handed over to the imperial court, it is estimated that the benefits that can still be distributed are just a little bit. Such a large piece of land was wasted."
Qi Zheng's expression became weird, "Theoretically, this is true for me to work hard, but there is no absolute. As long as it is operated properly, although it is still official officially and does not violate the law of my big work, the benefits in private It doesn’t need to fall into the hands of others, but the right to produce salt is indeed a big deal, and it can only be achieved with someone like Sangong as a guarantee.”
However, he really does not lack three public guarantees. Although it is troublesome to set up an official salt production right, it is not impossible.
Chen Bo swallowed his saliva, "Let's talk about it in detail."
Damn, this is a very lucrative business. In the past, whether it was raising rabbits or growing fruits, the cost was not low, but the mining of lake salt is different. As long as the technology is mature, all it needs is manpower.
After he went back, he quickly searched for the mining technology of lake salt. In ancient times, there were not so many high-tech technologies, and salt was mined in various ways. As far as he knew, since the Tang Dynasty, salt has actually been It is no longer a problem that plagues the people's livelihood, that is to say, since then, the salt production has been very high.
They didn't finish talking along the way, and when they returned to the college, the two went to the small room. I don't know how long this discussion has passed.
When he came out of the small room, Chen Bai couldn't help being taken aback, because Meng Huanchao was standing at the door holding a food plate.
I almost forgot, the students are on weekends and are not in the academy, but Meng Huanchao is still there.
Meng Huanchao looked at Chen Bo, and at Qi Zheng who came out of the house, his face was full of strange expressions, it must be midnight now.
Chen Zifu's earth-shattering reputation of Broken Sleeve is still resounding in Beijing, and it is precisely because Chen Zifu has become a bachelor of Zhaoxue University and a bachelor of writing, so this reputation has not faded, but has become even louder.
Although Meng Huanchao knew the root cause, he heard people in Shangjing discussing Chen Zifu's habit of breaking his sleeves every day, and now he came out of Qi Zheng's room in the middle of the night, and the two looked lazy. It's the live version of the post-event scene.
Chen Bo: "...No...it's not what you saw, we just... just chatted."
Meng Huan gave a oh, the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is anything, among the famous people all over the world, Lord Longyang of Wei Guo..."
Chen Bo let out a sigh in his heart, you go to comfort the others, he always felt that it would be okay not to comfort him, once he comforted him, it was as if it really happened, so he quickly interrupted, "Why are you here?"
Meng Huanchao lifted the food plate on the handle, "There is a lot of food left today, and the students won't come to the college tomorrow, so I just heat it up in the microwave and eat it together to avoid waste."
It turns out that this guy can even use a microwave oven.
But Chen Bo took the food plate, "This dish feels like it's getting cold."
How long has it been hot? How did it come out?
Meng also blinked his eyes, "It should be the first time to use a microwave oven, and I'm still not familiar with it. I'll heat it up again."
"Together." Chen Bo said, just a little hungry.
Meng also smiled on his face, "Yes."
Qi Zheng also followed obediently, because he didn't eat at night either.
Three people, one meal, eating quite harmoniously.
During the period, Chen Bo also said to Qi Zheng, "Now Meng Huanchao is my man, and he has sworn an oath, so don't be reluctant."
Since a person like Meng Huanchao doesn't know how to reject others, the oath he took when he was admitted to the hospital has a strong binding force on him.
Moreover, Meng Huanchao is really easy to get along with. He is a person who is willing to listen to what others have to say. For such a person, many people should be willing to talk about their thoughts in front of him.
……
On the second day, Chen Bai got up early because he had to go to Beijing today.
Today is the time for his students to preach on lettuce growing.
Qi Zheng also woke up early, because Yunshang College is a college in his fiefdom, and it is a college that he bought with credit for the imperial court to help build.
Today, these students are preaching, and he must also listen to it.
Moreover, he also knew what was being said, and the importance of it had too much to do with it. He had to be present, and he was originally one of the heroes.
These students are only responsible for preaching, and other things have to be done by Qi Zheng.
For example, build a high platform for preaching in front of the Qi government.
For example, let people publicize this lecture everywhere in Shanghai.
There were quite a lot of people who came, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people. Some of them were even unidentified, but they looked like noble sedan chairs among them.
Because the slogan that Qi Zheng asked people to publicize this speech was really amazing, so even though it was just a speech by a group of students, it is impossible for ordinary people or officials to remain indifferent after hearing such a slogan.
Su Jin, Crown Prince of Wei State, was among them. He was very surprised to see such a scene. Is this just some students' propaganda?
This scene is even worse than the publicity of celebrities in the world.
Chen Bo was in charge of providing the electronic loudspeakers for the lectures, because there were too many people, and the voices were too low to be transmitted.
The first person to speak on stage was actually Qi Zheng, the leader's speech before the opening?
For such a big matter, Qi Zheng must have something to do with himself, although it is indeed justified.
Qi Zheng was still a little awkward holding the megaphone, but he spoke expressionlessly on the surface.
"The students of the Yunshang Academy I supervise have new academic achievements to be released after a period of research."
Then there is nothing.
I don't know if it was because the leader's speech was so short, or why the prince's voice suddenly became like Lei Gong, and the scene was so quiet for a while.
Then, one by one students who were particularly neatly dressed began to take the stage.
The little man, wearing a formal gown, looks like a scholar.
Recently, these students are using the shower gel and shampoo that Chen Bo bought for them. The long hair of the ancients used to be difficult to manage. Even nobles wash their hair every day, because they use saponins, and their hair is very dry.
But these students are different. After such a long time of care, the hair is really like silk.
Therefore, although the person is small, he already has the posture of a suave, romantic and famous person.
Chen Bo couldn't help but shook his head amusedly when he saw it. Usually, these students were one or two like a joke, but today they are very serious.
Wei Crown Prince Su Jin also looked at it seriously, and the little emperor said that there lived a group of monsters in that college, which were as incredible as monsters to all countries.
But he also inquired a little bit, isn't the people in the academy just some students?
A little confused, so he observed very carefully today.
At this time, the students' voices with strange tones came from the stage.
"Fathers and folks in Beijing, fellow compatriots of Dagan, hello everyone, this is the new academic conference of Yunshang College."
"I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar with the academic conference of our Yunshang Academy. At the last academic conference, we released the Ji Zhu, and now the Ji Zhu has entered thousands of households..."
"So what are we going to announce today?"
At this time, someone in the audience shouted loudly, "I heard that today you are going to talk about how to prevent our people from starving and completely solve my famine problem. Is it true?"
"That's right, we came here only after hearing the news."
"You can solve problems that even a hundred officials can't solve? The loom you released last time is really easy to use, so don't ruin your reputation."
"No, I heard that the construction of your college cost an unimaginable amount of money. If it is messed up, the reputation that has been accumulated so hard will be gone."
On the stage, several young hosts frowned, what's going on, what's going on?
Their process doesn't have these, oops, forget it, just read the manuscript.
"Although we are young, we have also traveled to the country of Lu to study."
"Before we arrived in the country of Lu, we passed through one town after another in Dagan. There were people starving to death on the side of the road, and their bones were extremely cold. There were old people sitting in front of the tomb, willing to die, and some children were emaciated..."
Sentence by sentence is like telling a short story, because it is true, it is more immersive.
What is the current situation of Daqian, don't the people in Beijing know?
No, they know better than anyone else, and the refugees who gather outside Shangjing year after year are the best proof.
The bones are especially cold, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is too rare. It seems that it is not a rare thing in this era.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense.
The voice on the high platform continued, "Why are these?"
"Because we were so poor and didn't have enough food to eat, the people had to starve to death, and the old people had to wait by the graveside to reduce food consumption..."
Quiet quiet.
"This is my great sorrow, this is my great misfortune."
"But what we want to tell everyone is that from this year on, I will work hard... and no one will starve to death again."
wow.
They all couldn't believe what they heard.
All the officials who got the news couldn't help but lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with their hands and looked up to the high platform.
And the parents of those students were even a little tearful, their children are promising.
From now on, Dagan will remember their names.
The students on the high platform continued, "To solve the famine, there must be food, and no one can avoid it."
"So we redirected and cultivated one of the most common wild lettuces we have grown."
"Someone must ask, although there is a lot of lettuce, but it will kill people, isn't this harmful?"
"Today, what we want to preach is actually how to grow lettuce reasonably, so that this bitter and poisonous wild vegetable can become a delicious vegetable that we often eat."
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, the students who had prepared earlier in the audience excitedly pushed out cart after cart of lettuce.
"This is the lettuce that we cultivated specifically. You can have a taste."
Car after car, it looks pretty good.
Sure enough, someone soon noticed the difference, "These lettuces have no traces of being eaten by pests. How did you do that?"
In Dagan, there are indeed lettuces all over the mountains and plains, but the basic leaves have been eaten up by insects.
Look at these again, the leaves are intact, and the green is unimaginable.
We all know that lettuce is poisonous, and we all know that eating a small amount is actually harmless.
So when the students pushed the cart in front of them, peeled the lettuce and gave them a piece of lettuce with a knife, they didn't refuse.
Some people frown and put the lettuce in their mouths, because it seems to remind them of some bad taste.
However, after chewing it lightly, his complexion suddenly changed, it was not bitter at all, but rather sweet.
This... how is this done?Is this still the lettuce they remember?
The student who handed the lettuce also smiled and said, "The lettuce is delicious when eaten raw, but it will taste even better if you add some salt and mix it. I can usually eat a big bowl."
After all, the people in Beijing are more particular than the poor people, so lettuce can also be eaten with some tricks, a vegetable that can be eaten no matter what class it is.
"We happen to have some ready-made mix here, you can try it."
Inside the plate, shredded lettuce and green strips were placed neatly and looked pretty.
Once in the mouth, the refreshing taste is actually very delicious, at least not worse than other vegetables.
This is lettuce, the most indispensable thing for them to do is this kind of wild vegetable.
I don't know how many people trembled in their hearts after being unbelievable, and then I don't know how many people's eyes were red and moist.
"If... if there had been such lettuce earlier, the whole family of my second father-in-law would not have starved to death at home."
"Ugh..."
The whole scene was in chaos. To be honest, none of these people had one or two poor relatives in their families, and the probability of such a tragic tragedy happening is not low in this era.
The cries were felt by others, who had seen and heard them, if not experienced them themselves.
So this emotion is very contagious.
This is also the reason why Chen Bo had to come in person and had to hold this lecture in front of the Qi government, because he clearly understood that the situation might be out of control.
Crying, crying, sad, the scene was indeed a little chaotic.
Even those senior officials sitting in the sedan chair couldn't help but taste the lettuce pushed in front of them. They must have never eaten such a thing in their lives.
Baiguan may have more thoughts in his heart. After trying lettuce, he just stood there in a daze.
They have worked hard, and they know better than the people in Shangjing that the situation in some poor places is basically unimaginable.
They are more aware of what this delicious and non-toxic lettuce means to Dagan. It means that the people in Dagan will have the most basic guarantee of life from now on.
Wei Crown Prince Su Jin also tasted it, and then stopped talking.
He finally understood why Uncle Xiaohuang mentioned a big job, and it is likely that they will soon be able to solve their livelihood problems.
The dried lettuce is as numerous as the empty mulberry flowers in Wei State.
Wei Crown Prince Su Jin's heart tightened, such a big effort, if coupled with the little emperor's uncle said, if the weapon of Daqian can really be stronger than other countries, it is really possible to change the situation where the countries are tied together.
He sees things that others don't, and it's a thriving trend.
The voices on stage continued.
"Lettuce is poisonous because it contains bitterness, which is the bitterness we feel when we eat it. As long as the bitterness is removed, it will become a new sweet vegetable that we are now."
"We found a kind of green moss. As long as lettuce seeds are mixed with such green moss, when it grows, the green moss will also grow and absorb the bitterness in the lettuce."
"This kind of green moss is also very common, and it can be found in large quantities on old trees in deep mountains, so mixing lettuce seeds with green moss will not be a problem at all."
"If you want lettuce to grow well, you have to consider how to repel insects. We found a kind of branch liquid, which is the natural enemy of lettuce pests. We only need to dilute this liquid to a certain ratio and sprinkle it on the lettuce. These pests can be killed on the leaves."
"Considering the possible toxicity of this liquid and the difficulty in controlling the degree of dilution by the common people, this process will be completely handed over to the prince's administration."
"When the lettuce planted in the future needs to kill insects, you can go to the store arranged by the prince to buy this dilution. The price is so cheap that you can ignore it. This is the promise of the prince."
"Of course, the Prince's Office will also provide a watering can for spraying diluent..."
Qi Zheng will not make this money, but he will make money from the imperial court. This matter must be cooperated with the imperial court in order to promote it honestly and everywhere.
As long as the Qi government does not make excessive demands, it is impossible for the court not to agree to such a great achievement that can prevent a large number of people from starving to death.
This is destined to be a sensational day, and it is also destined to be a day when Dagan will be recorded in history.
Students are explaining how to grow these lettuces to the uninitiated.
Looking at the small people frowning and explaining patiently one by one, because some people just don’t understand what they say, worrying.
The people of Shangjing suddenly felt a little stunned, just like they suddenly had so many celebrities in the capital.
It is impossible for the palace to be unaware of such a big event, and it is also an indisputable fact that a large amount of edible lettuce has been grown.
Sure enough, almost at the moment when the press conference ended, the imperial edict from the palace came.
"Your Majesty has a decree to bestow rewards on all the students of the Yunshang Academy, and bestow the bestowal on all the students as Hongwenguan Sanren."
A short sentence caused a sensation in the whole scene.
Although Hongwenguan Sanren is just a title and does not seem to have a real job, he is a kind of affirmation for scholars, and for scholars, this is an honor.
A group of students were also a little dumbfounded. They became loose members of Hongwen Museum at such a young age?
Some of the gentlemen of the Beijing Academy of Arts have not yet been awarded this title.
They are all sons of nobles, what do they lack is power?No, this is not what they lack most, what they lack is glory and fame.
The parents of those students also opened their mouths. Whether a noble family can last forever depends not on how powerful and powerful your family is, but whether there are successors.
Just the title of a Hongwenguan Sanren is enough to support the reputation of their family. The key is how old their children are. Who can say whether they will go further in the future? This possibility is still very high, because there are still too many people. More time allows them to fight hard, they are still young.
Thinking about it again, what their children have done is indeed worthy of the title of Hongwenguan Sanren. No matter what they say in front of anyone, they can proudly raise their heads. Pick out a little thorn.
They also had to be thankful that they didn't hold back these little ancestors and sent them to that academy.
There are two copies of the imperial decree, one is to reward the students of Yunshang Academy, and the other is to announce Chen Bai and Qi Zheng to enter the palace.
It was probably a reward for Chen Bo and Qi Zheng, and a discussion on how to promote lettuce.
It is impossible for Qi Zheng to promote such a thing, and the court will ignore it.
Sure enough, when Chen Bo and Qi Zheng came to the palace, the king and Sangong were there.
The first is to discuss the rewards for the two.
The merits are in the country, and they have to be rewarded. Even the king cannot go against the will of the people.
"Conferring Chen Zifu as a Cabinet Counselor University Bachelor..."
The name of Zhaoxue University is reputation, and writing is a duty. The current Cabinet Counselor is different, which shows that Chen Bo can formally join the discussion of government affairs in the future.
And the cabinet is already an existence that can control the fate of the big officials, so it is okay to call Chen Bai a small cabinet elder.
Chen Bo was taken aback, a cabinet counselor as young as him is really unique.
Chen Bo hurriedly thanked him.
Qi Zheng's reward was more troublesome, and Qi Zheng was also more straightforward in the end. What he wanted was the complete tax exemption and development rights of his fiefdom.
Chen Bo narrowed his eyes, this guy is really... no profit.
On the contrary, the king and the third prince are a little puzzled. As for Qi Zheng's fief in the poor countryside, I heard that it has improved a bit, but it is far behind the general fief. Development rights?
Your Majesty discussed it with San Gong, and they really don't think they can get any tax from Qi Zheng's fiefdom. As for the right to development, what can be developed for those broken mountains and lakes, and it's Qi Zheng's fiefdom, unless something happens Qi Zheng has the final say on the right to develop special resources.
In the end it was settled.
Chen Bodu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and glanced at the calm Qi Zheng, this guy is a sullen guy.
Do you know how much the development of lake salt that does not pay taxes is worth?Daqian salt is really money.
Qi Zheng negotiated with them on the promotion of the rest of the lettuce.
It is impossible to delay this kind of thing, it is estimated that the court is busy.
When Chen Bo returned home, Chen Xiaobu changed into a very festive little robe in front of him.
"Brother, mother insisted on dressing me up like this. Why did you say that there was another Hongwenguan loose person in the family? What a face, so you have to dress festively."
Chen Bo is also a little funny, Chen Xiabu is like a little fuwa now.
But before he laughed for long, he felt like crying.
Because Mrs. Ronghua didn't let him go.
The two Fuwas, one big and one small, looked at each other in blank dismay.
Especially after Mrs. Ronghua learned that Chen Bai was named a cabinet counselor, she was even more serious, "Such a young Mr. Xiaoge, no, no, I have to call all my relatives from my natal family to celebrate. The relatives of the family are also called, didn’t they say before that our Tingwei’s mansion is impersonal, this time let them know what is human.”
Chen Bo: "..."
The next day, Chen Bo took Chen Xiaobu out, because Mrs. Ronghua was really sending out invitations like a net, and they didn't expect to be surrounded like a monkey.
It just so happened that I didn't have to go to the academy today, and I was still on weekends, taking Chen Xiaobu around.
"Brother, let's go to the treasure appraising meeting of the merchants of the Yan Kingdom. The merchants of the Yan Kingdom just came to our capital." He was still a little excited.
Yan State is a bit special among the countries. Perhaps because of the land, Yan State not only focuses on agriculture, but also focuses on commerce, and caravans are spread all over the countries. It may also be because their land production is not enough for their own consumption.
Therefore, the Yan Kingdom is a very special existence among the various countries, and it is also the most affluent existence.
And the annual treasure appraising meeting of merchants in the country of Yan is particularly interesting.
Because they do business in various countries, they always bring some strange treasures.
However, no matter how precious the treasure is, it is also a thing to watch in Dagan, because the Dagan law clearly stipulates that those so-called treasures and wonderful things are not allowed to be exchanged for grain and cloth currency.
This is a kind of protection of people's livelihood.
In other words, if you have rare treasures, you can collect them yourself or exchange them with others, but they cannot be linked to food, cloth or money.
Otherwise, Chen Bo would have made a fortune by buying some rare gadgets with his mobile phone and selling them as treasures.
Chen Bai thought for a while, the treasure appraising conference in Yan Kingdom would last for a while, and it was indeed a fun place, so he took Chen Xiaobu away.
It was only after he went there that he realized that it was really lively, and that's right, it was a rare event in Beijing.
No matter merchants, noble gentry, or noble families, there are everything that one expects to find. It can also be seen how successful Yan merchants have done their business.
Chen Xiaobu couldn't bear it anymore and ran around.
Chen Bo let the servants of Tingwei's mansion follow, as long as he didn't leave here alone, it's not a big problem.
Then I also chose some interesting objects and looked at them, all of which are priceless antiques.
In the eyes of Chen Bo, these things may be more valuable than in the eyes of these businessmen.
On Chen Xiaobu's side, he was leading Damaiding, holding a screaming chicken in his hand, followed by a group of people who looked after him, and walked towards a booth surrounded by many people.
"Barter, is there anyone who likes this night pearl? Just exchange it with something of equivalent value."
It turned out that they were here to exchange things, no wonder there were so many interesting people around.
At this time, the Screaming Chicken in Chen Xiaobu's hands creaked and screamed.
