Chapter 90 Accident in Harvesting Potatoes
Li Er saw that Li Feng was still ignoring him, so he got a little closer and said, "I have some good news for you, do you want to listen to it?"
"Don't listen." Li Feng's head was still raised high.
Li Er smiled and said: "You really don't want to know? This is news about your title. The court has already decided what title to give you."
"real?"
Li Feng instantly lowered his head and looked at Li Er.
Li Er smiled and said calmly: "What? You want to pay attention to me now?"
Li Feng scratched his temples and said, "Ignore you, I'll take care of you. Speak quickly. Speak quickly."
Li Er said with great satisfaction: "I will grant you the title of Marquis."
"Become a Marquis? When? Does a Marquis have a fiefdom?" Li Feng asked.
Li Er said: "Yes, the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty has thousands of households and 1,400 acres of Yongye farmland. As for the location, I haven't chosen yet. Where do you want your fiefdom to be? Tell me and I will help you find a way."
"Lantian." Li Feng said without thinking.
"Lantian? You actually want Lantian? It is a treasure land of Feng Shui. Last year, His Majesty abolished the two counties of Yushan and Ningmin, and placed the jurisdiction of Lantian into Jingzhao County on the Guan Nei Road. It can be said that Lantian is now three counties in one, far beyond
I will take over the thousand households given to you by your title." Li Er said.
Li Feng said: "I don't know about that. Anyway, if you ask me what I want, I want Lantian. As for whether the court will give it to you, or where to seal it, that's all the court's business. It's useless even if I say it."
Li Erdao: "I will think of a way. Even if I can't give you Lantian, I will find a way for you to let the court give you a good place."
Li Feng smiled and said: "Then it's up to you, but it's best if my fief is too far away from Chang'an. I like Chang'an very much and don't want to keep running back and forth between the fief and Chang'an."
"Okay." Li Er said impatiently.
At this moment, he regretted that he had talked too much. Why did he ask Li Feng where he wanted to be a fiefdom?
Li Feng knew in his heart that Li Er thought that he could have a county support him, but this was impossible. Even if the imperial court granted Lantian a land and he became a Marquis of Lantian, it would be impossible for the entire county to support him.
I can get at most 1,400 acres of permanent land from the public land in Lantian County, and then turn the people who plant these permanent fields into subjects of my own fief, and their residences will become my own fief.
The four of them just laughed in the car for two hours before the carriage finally stopped.
Li Feng was stunned for a moment and said: "Are we here?"
Li Er nodded and said: "Yes, we're here, let's get off the car."
Changsun and Li Lizhi nodded and started to get out of the car.
Soon the four of them got out of the carriage and saw a piece of green potato leaves, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Fang Xuanling and others jumped off their horses one after another and walked towards Li Er and Li Feng.
Li Lizhi saw a green field, took a deep breath, and said: "Looking at the green leaves, I feel so refreshed and feel much better."
Li Er also smelled it and felt really refreshed.
Li Feng smiled and said nothing. Sometimes it does have such an effect.
"Old Li, everyone is here, now you can let the villagers dig potatoes."
"Okay. I've been waiting for your words for almost three months." Li Er said excitedly, "Old Sun, Old Tang, and Old Ma, you three, let's verify the miraculous moment together."
"Okay." Changsun Wuji, Tang Jian and Ma Zhou said in unison.
As for Wei Zheng, he couldn't wait to dig potatoes in the fields.
Fang Xuanling clicked his tongue and marveled: "This Wei Zheng is the number one remonstrator in the Tang Dynasty. He is so reckless today. It is rare to see him in a thousand years."
Du Ruhui smiled and said: "It seems that he is more anxious than all of us. By the way, how many kilograms of potatoes does your family produce?"
"Thirteen pounds and six taels, where is your house?"
"Sixteen kilograms yielded a total of eight potatoes, each as big as a fist and each weighing about two kilograms." Du Ruhui said proudly.
Fang Xuanling was shocked. It actually weighed sixteen kilograms, which was two kilograms or four liang heavier than his own.
"I wonder how many pounds of potatoes your Majesty and the auxiliary machine planted?" Du Ruhui asked.
"How about asking?"
"No, forget it." Du Ruhui directly rejected Fang Xuanling's proposal.
Although he was also curious about how many kilograms of potatoes Li Er and Chang Sun Wuji produced? But he also knew that now was not the best time to ask.
He saw that Li Feng had been accompanying Li Er, while Li Er was wandering around, participating in digging potatoes for a while, measuring the potatoes himself for a while, and recording the potatoes himself for a while.
If you ask Li Er at this time, if Li Er and the others are not as heavy as you, you are not asking for trouble.
Tang Jian was very excited at this time. He was very excited when he saw the people digging out the potatoes one by one, then being weighed, and then being reported the number.
"Sixteen pounds and four taels."
"Fifteen pounds and two taels."
"..."
Li Er was also very excited and excited when he heard the numbers.
Ma Zhou came up at this time and asked: "Li Feng, this is more than three thousand kilograms, but if you can't eat so many potatoes at once, will they go bad?"
When Li Er heard this, he was shocked. Yes, he forgot such an important thing. What should he do if he can't finish eating? Are you waiting for it to turn bad?
Li Feng smiled and said: "I already have a solution, there are two in total. One is to dig a cellar and store the potatoes in the cellar, where they can be kept for several months without rotting.
Another way is to turn potatoes into potato flour, which can be maintained for several years without any problem.
I won’t teach you how to make potato flour, but I will sell it. When potatoes become rampant in the future, I will build a potato flour workshop. Now, these potatoes will be used as seeds and let the court arrange it."
Ma Zhou had already guessed Li Feng's big belly and was not shocked at all.
"Young friend Li Feng is really righteous. I would like to thank you for all the people in the world." Ma Zhou cupped his hands and said.
Li Feng smiled and waved his hands and said: "I did this for a purpose. Lord Ma must know that I am asking for something generous from the court."
"I know, Lao Li mentioned it in the Dragon Palace, and His Majesty has agreed, as long as you can get military merit." Ma Zhou said.
Li Feng looked at Li Er, made a fist with his right hand, lightly beat his chest, and said: "Old Li, everything is in silence."
Li Er also followed Li Feng's example, made a fist with his right hand, lightly punched his chest a few times, and said: "Everything is silent."
"Five thousand catties, over five thousand catties." Tang Jian shouted excitedly.
The yield per mu is five thousand catties. This is such a doubtful figure.
Li Er also became excited. This was more than a thousand kilograms more than expected, which was really great.
"It's out, it's calculated, the yield per mu is five thousand five hundred and sixty-five kilograms and three taels per mu." Tang Jian said loudly again.
"God helps the lobby, haha...God helps the Tang Dynasty..." Wei Zheng suddenly yelled like crazy.
More people were crying on the ground. The yield of 5,500 kilograms of potatoes per acre made them cry.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also shed tears. They were excited because the output was so high.
The higher the output, the more food the people have. The more food the people have, the better their lives. The better the people's lives, the more prosperous and powerful the Tang Dynasty is. The more prosperous and powerful the Tang Dynasty is, which means they have made great achievements.
Results, their efforts paid off.
"Why? Why didn't this potato appear ten years ago, and why didn't you appear ten years ago, so that my father, my mother, and my sister would not starve to death."
Niu Jinda suddenly came to Li Feng, grabbed Li Feng's arms and roared wildly, looking like he was going crazy.
Cheng Yaojin and others' expressions changed and they rushed over quickly, trying to stop Niu Jinda who was going crazy.
They were not afraid of angering Li Er, but they were afraid of hurting Li Feng.
Li Er on the side was overwhelmed by Niu Jinda's sudden mental breakdown. Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment.
Just when Cheng Yaojin and the others were about to take action, Li Er was already about to take action.
But they were shocked the next moment.
Li Feng kicked Niu Jinda away, and not only that, he also knocked him unconscious.
"Damn it, is this guy so fierce?" Cheng Yaojin said.
Li Jing suddenly remembered what Li Wan had said, and he said, "I remembered that Li Wan told me that she had suffered a loss at the hands of Li Feng."
"Li Wan can't beat him. It seems that he is indeed capable. Let's try his skills if we have a chance." Cheng Yaojin's hands and feet felt itchy.
Li Jing, Yu Chigong and others were eager to try, but seeing Li Er's face, they temporarily stopped and ran to Niu Jinda and helped him up.
Li Feng looked confused. It was just an instinctive reaction. He was caught off guard and instinctively made that kick.
Li Er came to his side and asked: "Are you okay?"
Queen Changsun also ran over and asked nervously and concernedly: "Feng'er, are you okay?"
"Brother, are you okay?" Li Lizhi also asked with concern.
Li Feng came back to his senses, shook his head quickly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just shocked. Are you okay, Lao Niu? I didn't hold back just now."
Li Er cursed angrily: "He deserves to be kicked to death. His hands are strong enough to crush the hands and feet of ordinary people."
