Chapter 93 Potato Seeds for Sale

Li Feng shrugged and said, "You two asked me for it earlier, and I would definitely give it to you, but now it's gone. I gave it all to Lao Li, so you can ask Lao Li for it."

Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda looked at Li Er at the same time. Their flattering smiles immediately attracted Li Er's angry glare, making the two of them look aggrieved, as if they were bullied little wives.

Hou Jun on the side said with concentration: "Fortunately, I didn't speak."

Li Er said in a deep voice: "You two don't have to think about it. I want to give these two divine fire crows to Your Majesty. If you dare to prevent me from getting promoted and making a fortune, I dare to fight you to the death."

"Don't dare, don't dare..." Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda quickly said they didn't dare.

Li Feng smiled and said: "Okay, Lao Cheng, Lao Niu, it is true that this divine fire flying crow is a siege weapon, but it is not the most powerful siege weapon. When I develop the red cannon, you can bring the red cannon with you."

If we go to deal with the Turks, I believe that the Turks will be easily captured."

"Is there any more powerful weapon?" Cheng Yaojin asked in surprise.

"Of course, but it's very expensive. It's so expensive that you can't even imagine it."

Cheng Yaojin said: "It's okay, I will go and rub that Tang Jian, and I will definitely let him pay for it."

"Huh, let's go back to Chang'an to discuss this matter. Zhang Daliang will be responsible here, and the others will return to Beijing. As for the matter of the divine fire and flying crow, tell everyone to forget about it." Li Er said.

At this time, he showed his bastard spirit, which made Li Feng stunned. Is this still the ordinary old Li?

Cheng Yaojin said with a slight smile: "Old Li, why are you so serious? Do you know that you scared Li Feng?"

Li Er then remembered that Li Feng was still there. It was actually Li Feng's divine fire flying crow that surprised him. He forgot about Li Feng's presence and almost revealed his secret.

He glared at Cheng Yaojin fiercely and said, "Who do you think Li Feng is, that he can be scared so easily?

Li Feng, do you think so?"

Li Feng came back to his senses and immediately said as if he was not afraid of anything. "Of course, I am not afraid of robbers. Am I afraid of Old Li getting angry?"

Lao Cheng, stop talking. Whether it's the divine fire flying crow or the red cannon, you can take it to the court and fight for it. I don't care about that.

For me, being able to make a divine fire and flying crow is the limit. Without the support of the imperial court, the red cannon can only be done by bankrupting everything."

When everyone saw that Li Feng had said so, there was no point in saying anything else.

Zhang Daliang received a great achievement inexplicably, and the hidden danger that had been a headache for the court for many years was solved in this way.

This is a great achievement, God gave it to him like this, and he was so beautiful that he was stunned for a moment.

…

After returning to Chang'an, the Shenhuo Flying Crow incident was suppressed by Li Er, but the Tudou incident spread a lot.

The people who didn't believe it at first believed it under the government's extreme promotion. However, the potatoes were not distributed to all the people, but sold at a high price.

This was what Fang Xuanling and others came up with. Except for giving certain shares to some ministers in the court, the rest were sold to wealthy landowners at high prices.

Anyway, it’s all about promotion, so it doesn’t matter who you plant it for, and it can also bring good income to the court, so why not do it.

This was what Li Feng told Tang Jian before he went to pay the fee. At the same time, he told Tang Jian that the court would ask him for money soon and asked him to prepare more money.

Tang Jian really listened. When discussing with Fang Xuanling, he always advocated selling potato seeds.

Fang Xuanling disagreed at first, but Tang Jian pushed him aside and told everyone that it was okay not to sell, but once Li Er asked him for money, some of the opponents present found ways to make money. If you can't make money, it doesn't matter.

Sell ​​their houses and fields, sell everything they can, and use the money to subsidize the national treasury.

This method is really effective. People who originally opposed it no longer oppose it, but all become supporters.

Only a few die-hards have always disagreed. They are headed by Pei Ji, and they are all former subordinates of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

In order to appease Li Yuan and gain a good reputation for himself, Li Er left it alone.

In particular, Pei Ji often relied on his elder status and relied on his elders to criticize Li.

Li Er had already had enough of this Pei Ji, but because of the Emperor's face, he never touched him.

Now, the reason why Pei Ji still opposes Tang Jian's selling of potatoes is to defend his master Li Yuan and disgust Li Er. The other reason is that the Pei family is not involved in the distribution of potatoes this time. Doesn't this mean that he has to spend money?

purchase.

How could he be willing to accept this, so he contacted Li Yuan's old subordinates to oppose Tang Jian's proposal.

However, Tang Jian acted rogue and rebelled against Pei Ji, leaving Pei Ji and his followers helpless.

Pei Ji also knew in his heart that he had offended Li Er, but Li Er could not find a reason for him, and there was nothing he could do against him.

Now that he has taken the initiative to jump out, Li Er will never let him go. He absolutely believes that Li Er will bankrupt him and will never be merciful.

Even if I went to ask the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan at that time, it would probably be useless. Li Er would use the promise as an excuse.

In the end, Tang Jian's plan was approved, and landlords from all over Chang'an came to buy potato seeds.

In order to prevent potato seeds from being hoarded next year, those who bought the seeds had to return twice as many seeds to the court three months later.

This very unreasonable request turned out to be unreasonable when the official revealed that the yield per acre of potatoes reached 5,000 kilograms. Everyone became restless and many landowners who were waiting and watching began to take action.

But even so, there are still people waiting and watching.

When the court told everyone that there were not many potato seeds left, the last people who were watching stopped watching and began to take action.

They went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the matter of selling potatoes was handed over directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs, because Tang Jian was afraid that his subordinates would take bribes and engage in corruption.

Another reason is that the money can be collected directly into the household department without letting the subordinates change hands, which can reduce more losses.

Tang Jian earned 100,000 yuan from selling potato seeds. Tang Jian kept all of it and gave it to Li Er after Li Er and others returned to court.

After Li Er and the others returned to Chang'an, they wanted to hold a small court meeting to recommend the sacred fire flying crow to everyone. Later, they decided to let it go first and planned to discuss the matter of making Li Feng a marquis tomorrow.

As for Li Feng, after he returned to the tavern, he was pestered by Cheng Chumo and the other five.

Cheng Chu said silently: "Brother Feng, why have you been invisible all day today?"

Qin Huaiyu said: "Li Feng, I have something to trouble you about."

Li Feng said: "Of course there is no problem, but I don't agree to everything. You'd better tell me. If you have any questions, just ask them?"

Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, "Okay, I want to be your disciple. Master, please accept me as your disciple."

"What?" Cheng Chumo and others all looked at Qin Huaiyu in shock.
