Chapter 11 Potatoes Appear (5000 Chapters)(1/2)
Taiyuan Wang Family.
The head of the family, Wang Siyi, received several letters of complaint about what the Wang family did in Chang'an.
After the investigation, Wang Siyi knew everything and immediately sent his confidants to Chang'an.
Wang Yuan has been forcibly locked up in the house for the past few days and is not allowed to go out. The people guarding them are the people from Dali Temple.
Grain merchants in Chang'an all know that Wang Yuan's grain stores are the first to see grain prices drop. They have come to ask for explanations and compensation.
However, they were all blocked by people from Dali Temple. Those who tried to break in had their legs broken and were captured by people from Dali Temple.
This is also one of the reasons why food prices in Chang'an dropped so quickly, but Li Feng didn't expect it.
The former magistrate Lin Jian was also placed under guard as a precaution.
The ten days passed quickly, and the price of grain has always been six cents per dou. On several occasions, the price of grain rebounded to ten cents per dou, and was immediately suppressed by the court.
The imperial court now has more grain than all the grain merchants in Chang'an put together. Therefore, the imperial court now has the final say on the grain.
After Lin Jian and Wang Yuan were freed, they immediately inquired about what major events had happened in Chang'an in the past ten days. After being at home for ten days, he realized that a major event had happened in Chang'an City, and it might be related to him.
When he learned from the steward that grain prices were stable and a group of grain merchants were looking for him but could not find him, he realized that he was in trouble.
Especially when I learned that my own grain stores were the first to lower grain prices, I felt like my whole body was spinning and I fell headfirst to the ground.
When he woke up, the family head's cronies sent by Taiyuan appeared in front of him and took him and Lin Jian to Taiyuan without saying a word. This matter must be explained to everyone.
He, Wang Yuan, is the best candidate.
Manna Hall.
Li Er sat on the dragon chair and looked at his ministers in a very good mood. When his eyes saw Xiao Yu, he smiled.
"Xiao Aiqing, what else do you have to say now?"
"Wei Chen has nothing to say. His Majesty's vision of people is unmatched by Wei Chen. Since there are such talents among the people, Wei Chen suggests recruiting him as an official to make contributions to the people."
Li Er smiled and said: "I have had this intention for a long time, but he is too young. Now that he has become an official in the court, will it undermine his achievements?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to consider this matter for the time being. Li Feng has no intention of becoming an official." Fang Xuanling stood up and said.
He and Li Er had already investigated everything about Li Feng clearly, even his eighteenth generation ancestors knew about it.
Li Er frowned slightly and said, "In that case..."
"Wait a minute, I'm willing to convince Li Feng." Xiao Yu said.
Du Ruhui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think Li Feng has made great contributions and the court should reward him. Even if he is not an official, he should be rewarded with some money."
"What Du Qing said makes sense. Xuanling, will you go to the tavern with me tomorrow and ask Li Feng what he wants?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling responded, with a proud look on his face.
"Your Majesty, can I go with you?" Du Ruhui said.
"Wei Chen also wants to accompany us," Changsun Wuji said.
Xiao Yu also said: "I sincerely ask your Majesty's permission to go together. I want to see what kind of person this evil genius is?"
"No, I don't want to reveal my identity yet. After I finish asking, it will be up to you and Tang Jian to deliver the reward to him. As for the others, you can follow if you want, but you can't reveal your identity.
identity."
"Wei Chen understands."
Immediately, Li Er took Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji to Li's Tavern.
Lee's Tavern.
Li Feng opened the achievement system and checked his achievement points.
"Two hundred and eighty-two points. Two points are what I have left over from the last time I used them. These two hundred and eighty points are the achievement points I earned from solving the drought this time. It's a bit too little. I can't buy the book "Tiangong Kaiwu".
Otherwise, with the skills in the book, you can earn a lot of achievement points by just inventing a few things." Li Feng looked at the achievement points and said to himself.
"Open the system store."
As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, a store page appeared in his mind, and he began to randomly check the products.
"The power of the Overlord, the power of the Overlord Xiang Yuchu, costs 1,500 achievement points. It's too expensive."
"Crowing chickens, dog stealing skills, tracking skills, cabbage seeds, bicycles..."
After looking at more than 40 products in a row, Li Feng was not satisfied with any of them. Let’s not talk about the price, but just the practicality. These products brought no achievement points to Li Feng.
Suddenly he stopped on a product. He saw a potato. He patted his head and said, "Yes, potatoes. You can grow potatoes. They are both grain and vegetables. The yield per acre is higher than other grains."
How many times.
Once the potato came out, it benefited the Tang Dynasty. The achievement point is not tens of thousands, but eight thousand. The worst is three thousand, which is enough to buy "Tiangong Kaiwu"."
Li Feng was thinking as he found potato seeds. They were not expensive and only cost one hundred and fifty achievement points.
Without saying a word, Li Feng bought potato seeds, which was a sack of potato cubes. Each potato cube had two or three sprouts on it, which was enough to plant an acre of land.
Potatoes are actually a cheap commodity. It was only because they were not available in the Tang Dynasty that they became precious. Now that potato cubes are available, within a few years, every household will have potatoes, and they may even rot after being eaten.
So the price is not high, only one hundred
Seeing that he still had more than 100 achievement points in his hand, Li Feng spent another 100 points to buy a book on Basic Brewing Technology.
Wine was loved by everyone in the Tang Dynasty, not only the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also the people of Turks and other countries.
Therefore, winemaking is a way to get rich. Li Feng did not even consider it and directly bought the basic winemaking technology.
It's not that he doesn't want to buy high-end ones, it's just that he is too poor and has no achievements.
The basic wine-making technology was directly learned by Li Feng and disappeared from his mind. Another sack of potato cubes also disappeared from his mind and appeared in Li Feng's hand in an instant.
Because it was too heavy and unprepared, Li Feng was crushed to the ground by potato chunks.
"Hey, this body is too weak. If you find a chance to buy the power of Overlord, you can lift these potato cubes with one hand."
"Ah! What's wrong, Master, are you okay?"
After finishing his work, Uncle Fu saw Li Feng being pressed by a sack. He quickly moved the sack away, helped Li Feng up, and helped Li Feng dust the dust on his clothes.
"It's okay, it's okay. I made you worry." Li Feng said while patting the dust on his clothes.
After Uncle Fu confirmed that Li Feng was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief and then curiously looked at the contents of the sack: "Master, what is in this?"
Li Feng said: "Potatoes are a kind of food. Uncle Fu, if we have land, we don't need too much. Just one acre is enough."
"This..." Fu Bo hesitated.
Li Feng then remembered that his predecessor had lost all his property, leaving only this tavern. Of course, the land had also been lost.
"Uncle Fu, now that we have money, let's go to Wannian County and buy a farm. I want to grow potatoes."
"You want to plant potatoes? What is that? Grain?" Li Er walked into the tavern at this time and happened to hear that Li Feng was going to plant potatoes.
Behind him were Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji.
As a benefactor, Fang Xuanling had been here many times, and he was already as familiar as his own home. He came to Li Feng, opened the sack, and then took out a piece of potato cubes, curiously eating a lot of them.
"What is this? I have never seen it before." Fang Xuanling turned to look at Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, and said, "Old Du, Lao Sun, have you ever seen this kind of food?"
"I've never seen it." Du Ruhui and the other two shook their heads.
Who would have seen this black lump?
Li Feng was very happy to see Li Er, but when he saw Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling behind him, he asked: "Old Li, are those two your friends?"
"Yes, let me introduce to you, Lao Du and Lao Sun, my good friends, good friends who have shared weal and woe for more than ten years." Li Er emphasized that Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui are his good friends, and they can even be said to share life and death.
Brothers.
Li Feng nodded and asked, "By the way, have you become an official?"
"Yes, yes, Lao Fang and I have become officials. I just feel a little sorry for you. In fact, it is your turn to be an official. You are in charge of everything." Li Er said.
Li Feng waved his hands and said, "Come on, I'm not interested in being an official. I'm more interested in farming and making money."
"What you mean by farming is these lumps of soil?"
"What are you talking about? They are called potatoes, which are both grain and a vegetable. Now I don't have the land to grow them. Otherwise, the people of the world will not be able to solve the problem of food and clothing."
"Bragging, just relying on this little potato can solve problems that no dynasty has been able to solve for thousands of years. I won't be afraid of losing my teeth if I say it." Changsun Wuji said disdainfully.
I thought Li Feng was some kind of genius, but I didn't expect him to be a braggart. It's really disappointing.
Li Er also felt that Li Feng was bragging, but he couldn't say it. Now that Changsun Wuji had spoken out, he wanted to see how Li Feng explained it.
Du Ruhui was also a little shocked by Li Feng's words. No one in the world dared to solve the world's food problem.
Fang Xuanling frowned slightly, thinking that Li Feng was not innocent, so the problem was with the potatoes. He picked up a potato piece and looked at it curiously, but couldn't see anything and could only look at Li Feng.
"It's over, it's over, the young master is talking nonsense again." Uncle Fu was secretly worried in his heart.
Li Feng smiled slightly and said: "Old Sun, this is the first time you and I want to meet each other. It's normal that you don't believe me. Normally I should explain to you, but I'm too lazy to explain. Why don't we make a bet?
Sample?"
People became interested.
