"Have you heard? The Marquis of Yong 'an wants to give every farmer in Lantian County a catty of White Fold Flower seeds for free! "
"What? Why is Marquis giving so many White Fold Flower seeds to the farmers? "
"Seeds! The Marquis said that the White Stack Flower Catkins will belong to the farmers. The farmers can use them to make cotton-padded clothes or sell them for money. When the time comes, we just need to hand in the seeds! "
"Oh my god! There's such a good thing? Can we get the flower seeds if we go? "
"Tsk! In your dreams! We are from Xinfeng County. The Marquis of Yong 'an only gives them to the farmers in Lantian County! "
"Lantian County! It's Lantian County again! Last year, Marquis only promoted the greenhouse vegetables in Lantian County. At that time, the farmers who planted the greenhouse vegetables earned hundreds of strings of coins. A few months ago, when Marquis was building the dam, he also prioritized the young adults in Lantian County. I heard that not only are there meat for every meal, but the wages are also high. Now, Marquis wants to plant White Fold Flower seeds to make winter clothes for the people of Lantian County … Why didn't His Majesty give Xinfeng County to the Marquis of Yong 'an as a fief? "
"Sigh! Who said it wasn't! Last year, Matchmaker Zhao recommended a kid from Lantian County to my daughter, but my wife didn't agree. Now, it's his turn to disagree! This prodigal woman! "
"Haha! Old Wang, your wife has no taste. It's not that I want to criticize you, but this kind of woman needs to be taught a lesson! "
"Yes! She needs to be taught a lesson! "
"Haha! Serves you right for being unlucky. Look at my two daughters, they married to Lantian County at the beginning of the year. Now, they're living a good life! "
After the greenhouse vegetables and dam building incident, Li Zexuan came up with another "Benefiting the People Policy", which caused a huge uproar among the people in the surrounding counties of Chang 'an. Although there were no newspapers to promote it, the current momentum of public opinion was even more terrifying than being on the headlines of the newspapers!
Not only the people in the surrounding counties of Chang 'an City were discussing it, the people in Chang' an City were also discussing it!
At this moment, all the citizens only had one thought in their minds, and that was to regret that they were not Lantian people in this life! If he was also a citizen of Lantian County, then wouldn't he be able to enjoy the benefits of Li Zexuan's "Benefiting the People Policy"?
In an instant, countless people had a strong yearning for Lantian County!
Of course, the ladies of the prestigious families in Chang 'an City finally understood who had bought all the White Stack Flowers in the West Market yesterday! The beauties couldn't help but sigh at Li Zexuan's generosity. He actually used them as ornamental white flowers to make winter clothes for the people in his fief!
"What? Little Xuan wanted the people in his fief to plant White Stack Flowers? What's the point of growing this thing? Do you want to watch? "
Cheng Yaojin had just finished the morning court when he heard the news. He stared at his second son, Cheng Chuliang, and asked.
Cheng Chuliang's forehead was full of black lines. He said, "Father! Even if the Marquis of Yong 'an wanted to see White Stack Flowers, he wouldn't go so far as to let his subordinates plant them all over Lantian County, right? I heard that he wanted the commoners to make winter clothes out of white paper! "
"Oh!"
Cheng Yaojin nodded and suddenly laughed, "Hey! This kid's idea is really strange. Using white paper to make clothes for the commoners? That's too extravagant! How many seeds did he say he wanted to buy? Ten thousand catties? Tsk tsk! Seventy to eighty thousand strings of coins, that's really generous! "
Cheng Chuliang asked tentatively, "Father! Then should we follow this time? "
Last year, when Li Zexuan promoted the planting of greenhouse vegetables in his fief, Old Cheng's and Old Qin's families also promoted it. Although there was a difference of half a month, their family's farmers earned a lot of money because of it. The Cheng family also gained a good reputation for being benevolent!
Now that Li Zexuan wanted to promote the planting of White Stack Flowers, should the Cheng family follow?
Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "White Stack Flowers are not easy to grow. Since Little Xuan dares to promote it, he might have a better way to grow it! As for seventy to eighty thousand strings of coins, tsk tsk, the Cheng family can't afford it. However, the Cheng family only has seven hundred farmers, and a catty of seeds per family is only seven hundred catties … "
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll buy it! Chuliang, get Butler Liang to tell the barbarian merchants in Xi City to quickly find a way to get me seven hundred catties of White Stack Flowers seeds. Otherwise, I'll smash their shops! "
Li Zexuan needed a large amount of White Stack Flowers seeds, so he could only find sea merchants. However, the Cheng family only needed a few hundred catties of seeds, so the barbarian merchants could find a way to get it themselves!
In order to survive in Chang 'an, these barbarian merchants would definitely find a way to get Old Cheng so many seeds!
Cheng Chuliang quickly replied, "Yes! Father! I'll go tell the butler now! "
"Hey! Stop right there! "
Cheng Yaojin suddenly said, "Kid, you have to go back to the study and study. In a few months, Yanhuang College will be recruiting students. If you can't get in, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Cheng Chuliang shrunk his neck and said bitterly, "Yes! Father! "
… … …
"What? Li Zexuan wants to plant White Stack Flowers on a large scale in Lantian County? "
Just after morning court, Li Er heard this piece of news, and it was even personally sent by Li Chengqian.
"Yes, Father! Not only have all the White Stack Flowers seeds in Chang 'an City been bought by the Marquis of Yong' an, according to what I know, he even sent a merchant ship to Guangdong to buy White Stack Flowers seeds from Nanyang sea merchants! According to the notice in Lantian County, he wants to buy at least ten thousand catties of seeds! "
Li Chengqian bowed and said.
"Ten thousand catties? This kid is really extravagant! "
Li Er muttered and sighed. After a moment, he said to Li Chengqian, "No matter what, this is a move that benefits the people! In so many years, this is the first time I've heard of someone planting so many White Stack Flowers to make clothes for the people. However, isn't this kid afraid that the harvest won't be good and there won't be any harvest? I've heard that it's hard for White Stack Flowers to survive! "
Li Chengqian revealed a worried expression and said, "I'm also worried about this! Ever since White Stack Flowers were introduced into the Central Plains during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was only used as an ornamental flower because of its low survival rate. The Marquis of Yong 'an has good intentions in wanting to use White Stack Flowers to make clothes for the people, but I'm afraid that he won't even be able to recover the cost! After all, seventy to eighty thousand strings of cash isn't a small sum! "
Li Er frowned and then said in relief, "Haha! Chengqian, don't you know that kid's personality? He definitely won't do things that he isn't confident in! Last time, he was able to grow vegetables in the winter. This time, he can grow a large patch of White Stack Flowers in Lantian County. I don't find it strange at all! "
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and said, "Father is right! Perhaps the Marquis of Yong 'an has a better method of growing White Stack Flowers? Therefore, I would like to ask father to allow me to leave the palace. I would like to go to Yunshan to investigate! If it's really as father thinks, then the people of Tang Empire won't have to suffer from the cold in the winter! "
Li Er thought for a moment and waved his hand and said, "En! Then you can go after lunch! "
Li Chengqian said happily, "Thank you, father ~!"
… … …
"Marquis, Steward Fu sent someone to deliver a cart of farm tools!"
Pang Feiji came in to report when Li Zexuan had just finished his meal.
"En? It's done so quickly? Where are the things? "
Li Zexuan's eyes lit up as he quickly stood up and said.
"Marquis! It's just outside the door! "
Pang Feiji cupped his fists and said.
Han Yuxi looked confused and said, "Husband, what kind of farm tools made you so happy?"
"Haha! New farm tools! Wife, you'll know when you follow your husband ~! "
Li Zexuan smiled and then pulled Han Yuxi out of the house.
"Brother, wait for me! Lan-er wants to go too! "
Lan-er rushed out of the room and quickly followed!
Outside the courtyard, Li Zexuan saw more than ten hand-pressed nutrition bowls piled up in the open space in front of the door. They looked exactly like the "slimmer version" of the pusher used to make honeycomb briquettes!
"Eh? Husband? What's this thing used for? Why does it look so much like the one used to make honeycomb briquettes? "
Han Yuxi looked at the hand-pressed nutrition bowls on the ground and suddenly asked curiously.
"Hehe! Brother! How do you play with this? "
Li Zexuan was about to speak when Lan-er picked up a bowl as if she had gotten a new toy. Then, she looked at Li Zexuan and asked.
Li Zexuan shook his head and looked at Han Yuxi. He smiled and said, "Wife, aren't you curious about what this is used for? Let your husband demonstrate it to you! Feiji, have you prepared the soil that I asked you to prepare earlier? "
Pang Feiji pointed to a mound in the east and said, "Replying to Marquis! It's already prepared. It's over there! It's all dug from the vegetable fields at the foot of the mountain. It's very fertile! "
"Hehe! Looks like Changle and I came at the right time! Just in time for a good show! "
After Pang Feiji finished speaking, a young man's voice suddenly came from the courtyard. Who else could it be other than Li Chengqian?
As for Changle, after hearing that Li Chengqian was coming to Cloud Mountain, she quickly asked Li Er for a chance to leave the palace and followed along!
"Greetings to Your Highness! Greetings to Your Highness! "
The servants and guards of the Li family had all seen Li Chengqian and Changle before, so they quickly bowed and greeted them.
Li Zexuan, Han Yuxi, and Lan-er also prepared to greet, but Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite! Xiao Xuan, you don't need to be so polite either! "
Then he excitedly walked in front of Li Zexuan and asked, "Xiao Xuan, these farming tools of yours should be related to the planting of the White Stack Flower, right?"
Since Li Zexuan did not allow them to greet, then Li Zexuan would not be so bored as to do something unnecessary. However, after hearing Li Chengqian's guess, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then praised, "Chengqian has good eyesight. You guessed right. This thing is indeed related to the planting of the White Stack Flower!"
Changle asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Xuan! What does this thing have to do with the White Stack Flower? Changle, look. Why does this thing look like it's used to make honeycomb briquettes? "
Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Haha! Let me demonstrate. Changle, you and Chengqian will know after seeing it! "
