Chapter 294 Feeling that Husband Is Like That Disciple
Perhaps one thousand taels per coin is a bit expensive, but it is a sky-high price.
But Fang Jun wants to set an example, as long as those Hu merchants find what they want, then there is no problem with a lot of money.
In the Tang Dynasty, Fang Jun knew very well how difficult those seeds were to find. There was no doubt that once these seeds were found, it could solve the food problem of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty.
This is not something that ordinary art of investigating things can solve. The so-called governing the country is nothing more than eating and drinking.
From this moment on, the course of history will be completely changed.
What he found was naturally sweet potato. Needless to say, everyone who knows it knows that its yield is extremely high and its growth cycle is extremely short, which can almost reach a point of despair.
Moreover, it can be planted all year round, and there is no saying that the seasons are changed at all.
The most important thing is that it has extremely strong soil adaptability and can grow almost any soil. Hills, plains, sandy wastelands, including sandy soil, clay, etc. can be planted.
What is this not a heaven-defying thing?
This is a generous gift from God to the people of the world.
You should know that the yield per mu of rice in the Tang Dynasty is very low now, and it can only reach about 800 kilograms per mu, and almost no more than 1,000 kilograms.
When the sweet potato is planted, just give it a little water and it can grow three thousand kilograms per acre. If it is a little more fertile soil, it can even grow six thousand kilograms.
What is this concept of despicability? It is almost six or seven times that of rice, ten times that of wheat and more than three times that of corn. Of course, there is no corn these days.
Why did the population soar from 60 million to 200 million during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, with an increase of 300%?
There is no doubt that the sweet potato was discovered.
With this, the problem of famine in the Central Plains in later generations can be solved and a large population outbreak can be ushered in.
Fang Jun quickly took three sweet potato seeds home and found a place to plant them.
There is also a piece of land in the yard, which is a watermelon plant, and now it has sprouted and has grown tender leaves.
Fang Jun usually attaches great importance to this vegetable field and comes to check it every day. He also instructs the maids of the Prince Consort's Mansion to take good care of it and not make any mistakes.
Now, naturally, I still plant sweet potato seeds here.
There are three pieces in total, each piece is the size of a baby's fist. Several pieces can be cut out for planting. Fang Jun became busy all of a sudden and cut each piece of sweet potato seed into three pieces, a total of nine pieces, and planted in three places.
Sweet potatoes sprout very quickly. As long as they are planted and given a little water, they can sprout within three to five days. The soil Fang Jun found is also extremely fertile, enough for them to grow.
Fang Jun was busy in the vegetable field. After growing sweet potatoes, he looked at the growth of watermelon.
In the backyard of the Prince Consort's Mansion, several graceful and beautiful figures suddenly walked into the backyard of the Prince Consort's Mansion. Who else was not Shen Yunzhu, Nie Ling'er, Jinyang and others?
During this period, they often walked around, and their relationship seemed to become very good, and they often chatted together.
When the girls saw Fang Jun busy in the vegetable field, their faces slightly stopped.
"Husband, what are you doing?" Jinyang asked curiously.
Fang Jun looked up and looked at it: "Madam, are you back? I'm looking at how this plant grows?"
When Jinyang heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange: "Husband, there was a news from outside that you bought a seed for 1,000 taels, right?"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment and smiled, "It's been rumored? That guy Shen Dalu is doing pretty well!"
Jinyang was amused and crying: "Husband, there are 1,000 taels! Jinyang just heard someone saying that it had spread from Zuixiang Tower, and many scholars were talking about it, saying that we are really rich and powerful, and we should buy a seed of 1,000 taels."
"Don't care about these details!" Fang Jun waved his hand and smiled: "This matter is to spread it. If it doesn't spread it, it doesn't make sense. Not only will Zuixiang Tower be spread, but I may have to let someone write to the newspaper and let people know it!"
"Ah? Why?" Jin Yang was surprised.
Chen Yunzhu, Nie Linger and others also looked at him curiously.
Fang Jun smiled and said, "Those seeds are more important. As the saying goes, buying horse bones for a wealthy person is like this. Although the seeds are not as good as horse bones, they are still very important."
Jinyang was speechless: "But many scholars are laughing at us. They said that the Prince Consort's Mansion is really rich and willing to buy a seed of 1,000 taels. It's really stupid."
"Ha, it's just that they want to joke that will work. Otherwise, those Hu Shangs wouldn't think I was serious. Now that I've spent the money, I'll naturally be serious." Fang Jun clapped his hands and stood up and smiled: "As long as the news spreads, someone will definitely come to me with some seeds in a while. As for whether I want it, I'll talk about it then. Anyway, it's just a thousand taels!"
Jinyang didn't know what to say when he heard this. After thinking about it, he had to laugh and said, "Okay then! Husband is here to go!"
As he said that, he ignored Fang Jun and led the two of them toward the pavilion on the other side.
The little girl has been busy with some things recently.
She seems to have become extremely interested in the kitchen. She has been asking people for what to do these days? Why does it still cause thick smoke?
I have found many imperial chefs in the palace, and now I have figured out how to make a fire.
Of course, it’s not just that. She also asked how to put some delicacies in ingredients? How should they be fried and stewed?
There are signs of being a little chef.
Fang Jun refused to let her in, but she didn't listen.
"Mr. Fang... has planted a lot of vegetables?" Chen Yunzhu asked curiously when he came to the pavilion.
"Well! My husband has been doing these days. He will come to see it every day." Jinyang nodded and smiled, "My husband said that the vegetable garden is very important, so we should pay attention to it and not allow trouble. I made some melons a while ago. It is said that it will be very delicious, and it has grown now!"
Chen Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "But shouldn't he think about how to govern the country and ensure peace?"
Jinyang glanced at her and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "My husband seems to be very disliked, and he said it would be better to stay at home. Once, the Emperor Zhinu came over and asked him, and he said that the things in the yard are more important and he refused to go out. By the way, Sister Yun, now I am a little curious. My husband sometimes... is very strange!"
"Oh? What's strange?" Chen Yunzhu was surprised.
"It's just sometimes..." Jin Yang blushed, and suddenly remembered that Fang Jun often sneaked into her bath room. After thinking about it, he came over and said to the two of them in a low voice, and then continued to blush, "It's just a bit hateful. Sometimes I don't know what to do with Jin Yang. He has to come in every time!"
"Ah? Why is he like this?" Chen Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, widened her eyes, and her pretty face turned red in an instant.
"Yeah! It's hateful. Jinyang asked him to go out, but he just refused." The little girl blushed and smiled: "I told Aunt Chen and the others before, but Aunt Chen said it was normal, but Jinyang felt that it was still not very good here!"
"Uh..." Chen Yunzhu and Nie Ling'er felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, and coughed slightly. They looked at the Caiyuanzi and couldn't help but be happy: "How can he do this? But, has he done anything else?"
