Chapter 143: A bunch of old people want to take pictures
Cheng Chuliang is so angry!
Then just after turning a street, Cheng Chuliang raised his hand and threw the tofu in his hand into the ditch.
Seeing this scene, Li Min's face suddenly turned pale.
"Cheng Chuliang, how can you be so wasteful?"
Cheng Chuliang said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a few cents worth of stuff? What's the big deal?"
Li Min said solemnly: "It's noon on the day of hoeing, and sweat drips from the soil. Who knows how to eat on the plate? Every particle is hard work. Do you know how many beans are needed to make this piece of tofu you threw in? Do you know how much beans it takes to make it?
How long do farmers work hard?”
In Li Min's last life, he came from the countryside and hated others' waste.
Cheng Chuliang was the person next to him, and his wastefulness made Li Min even more intolerable.
Seeing Li Min getting angry, Cheng Chuliang immediately gave up.
Because unknowingly, Cheng Chuliang had developed awe and dependence on Li Min.
If you encounter any problem that he can't solve, it's right to contact Li Min.
Seeing Li Min so angry, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but reflect, had he indeed done something wrong?
So, Cheng Chuliang quickly said: "Your Highness, don't be angry, I was wrong, I will pick it up right away!"
After that, he jumped into the ditch and started looking for the tofu he had thrown away.
After a long while, Cheng Chuliang walked up from the ditch.
His hands were covered in mud, and his face was smeared with gangsters.
Then, he carefully held a large lotus leaf bag with both hands, which was full of soil and tofu.
Hey!
Seeing this scene, Li Min couldn't help but have black lines on his head.
Li Min couldn't help but asked with a dark face: "Cheng Chuliang, are you going to go home and plant tofu or what? Let me ask you, is this still edible?"
Cheng Chuliang said cautiously: "Your Highness, it can be eaten. I went home and went through the water to clear out the tofu. Don't worry, it won't be wasted!"
This idiot is really like no one else.
Li Min had no choice but to say, dumbfounded: "Throw it away. There is no way to eat this anymore. Just remember not to waste it like this next time."
Upon hearing Li Min's words, Cheng Chuliang immediately threw away the lotus leaves.
However, seeing that Li Min's face was not good-looking, Cheng Chuliang immediately asked more humbly: "Your Highness, what was the poem you recited just now? It sounds so profound. Can you recite it again?"
So Li Min patiently explained: "The name of this poem is Compassion for the Farmers, and there are actually two of them. The first one is what you just heard. It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who knows that the meal on the plate will
Every grain of grain is hard work."
"The second poem is, One grain of millet is sown in spring, and ten thousand grains are harvested in autumn. There is no idle land in the world, and farmers are starving to death. This poem says that farmers plant one grain of millet in spring, and in autumn they can harvest ten thousand grains.
grain. The land within the four seas is full of crops, but some farmers are still starving to death."
After listening to this poem, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Your Highness, one seed can harvest 10,000 grains. This is a very profitable business. Why are there still farmers starving to death?"
Li Min explained helplessly: "That's because you have never been to the people, and you don't understand the sufferings of the people at all! The people have to pay taxes, and if you encounter corrupt officials again, they will be apportioned again. The food you grow,
They can only keep a small part, and most of them have been expropriated. If there is a disaster, they will not be able to survive!"
After Cheng Chuliang listened, he couldn't help but nodded heavily.
Cheng Chuliang is not bad at heart. After listening to these two poems, he felt extremely sympathetic to the hard-working farmers.
But soon Cheng Chuliang thought of a question and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, you have never been to the people, so how did you understand the suffering of the people?"
Forehead--
This question seemed reasonable, but fortunately Li Min was quick-witted and quickly said: "Because I read a lot!"
At this time, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but walk up to Li Min and asked: "Your Highness, has the Wang family started to take action on the soybeans?"
Li Min smiled and said: "I guess the Wang family has now discovered that the raw materials of MSG are not soybeans and sesame seeds at all. If the soybeans are left for a long time, they will grow mold. When the new soybeans come out, the price will not be high. So.
, The Wang family must be eager to sell now. I have concluded that the price of soybeans will inevitably plummet in a short period of time. When the price drops to half of the normal price, we will buy it back."
Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Your Highness, how could they sell it at such a low price? They could have shipped it to other places to sell it!"
Li Min laughed and said, "But if they transport it, don't they need transportation fees?"
In fact, there is one thing that Li Min hasn't said yet. In order to stop them, the Wang family must buy back all the soybeans within a hundred miles.
As for soybeans, they are not necessities of life.
If you know how to eat, if the price is too expensive, you don’t have to eat it at all.
Some of their soybeans must have been purchased from ordinary people. After the ordinary people sell them, do you want them to buy them back at the same price?
This is simply impossible.
However, if they want to sell it at a cheaper price, then they can just sell it in Chang'an City.
Why bother running out to sell it at the freight cost?
Unless they really can't sell it in Chang'an City, I guess they will do that.
Just when they were about to reach the No. 1 Courtyard in the World, suddenly a servant from Prince Liang's Mansion came to Li Min and reported: "Your Highness, there are distinguished guests at home, why don't you go back first?"
Distinguished guest?
Li Min couldn't help but ask: "Where did this distinguished guest come from?"
The servant hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it is Duke Wei, Duke Lu, Duke E, Duke Yi and other Dukes. They are all waiting for you in the mansion!"
Um?
It's Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and these old guys. Why are they coming to my house?
Li Min guessed that there was nothing good about the designation.
So Li Min decided to drag Cheng Chuliang and others along, so that everyone could share the blessings and hardships.
As a result, when I turned around, I realized that Cheng Chuliang, Qin Huaiyu, and Yuchi Baoqi, who were standing next to them, had already quietly fled away when they saw that the situation was not going well.
Li Min secretly scolded these guys for their lack of loyalty and had to go back home alone.
Not long after, Li Min returned to his mansion and found Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and the others drinking tea in the living room.
Cheng Zhijie was already impatient with waiting and was already showing signs of getting angry.
Li Min felt that if he didn't show up again, this guy would probably smash the table.
After Li Min walked into the living room, he saluted them first and said: "I have met Duke Wei, Duke Lu, Duke E..."
Qin Qiong and the others also stood up at the same time and saluted Li Min.
Only Cheng Zhijie couldn't wait to hold Li Min's hand and said, "What are you doing with those polite etiquettes? Can you eat it? Boy, come and paint a portrait of me, old Cheng!"
