The three old men had heard about this at the door yesterday. For old men like them who were lying on the ground waiting for death, it was already a great favor for Zhang Feng to give them a mouthful of food.
Not to mention that the task given to them at this time was so simple. They actually had wine and meat every day. Even if they had lived for most of their lives, they dared not imagine such a life!
But in the end, they could actually have such a good life every day.
But now?
Zhang Feng actually asked them to live in the Residence of the Sixteenth Prince?
What was that place?
That was the most prosperous and enviable place in the whole Chang 'an City, except for the Imperial Palace. How could they live there?
Zhang Feng ignored the three old men's nagging and refusal. He pointed to the tender seedlings in the wooden trough and said, "These things are cultivated by you. Do you have the heart to give them to those who don't know anything and let them spoil them?"
"This is my painstaking effort. You also know that this is Zhang Feng's big secret. Are you not going to help me?"
While speaking, Zhang Feng flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "Think about it carefully. If you want to go, go to the old village head or go to Chang 'an University to find Lao Xiu and ask him to send someone to carry this thing. If you don't want to go, just tell Niu Pi Huang!"
After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he left.
Only the three old men were left in a daze, with tears running down their faces.
The potato seedlings sprouted.
Zhang Feng was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that the potatoes did not go bad after soaking in the sea, but he was worried about the problem of pollination. Everything else was easy to deal with, such as photosynthesis, temperature, and so on. It was July now, and the temperature in Chang 'an City was still very pleasant. At least before October, the temperature was still warm enough for the potatoes to mature.
The most important and troublesome thing was the problem of pollination of these potatoes.
He had to do it himself. Once insects, birds, butterflies, and flies contaminated the potatoes with other pollen, it would be difficult to say the effect of the potatoes.
This was a good variety of potato seeds, so Zhang Feng was particularly cautious.
Even if it was slightly affected by the outside world, the production and quality of this thing would drop a lot. This thing was unique in the current Tang Dynasty.
If this thing was spoiled, it would be really bad.
What was this?
This was a golden nugget!
If he could make it, the money he could make would be much more than the fine salt, not to mention anything else ….
While thinking about the potatoes, Zhang Feng slowly walked on the street of Tonghui Fang with his hands behind his back, thinking about all the things that had happened during this period. At this time, Zhang Feng unknowingly walked to the door of Cripple Wang's house.
He bumped into Cripple Wang, who was going home to get something. Cripple Wang almost did not recognize Zhang Feng. After Zhang Feng walked past, Cripple Wang suddenly remembered that Zhang Feng seemed to be in Tonghui Fang. He hurriedly went up and grabbed Zhang Feng, saying, "Feng Zi, no, Director, please wait."
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Feng was a little unhappy, but when he saw that it was Cripple Wang, he asked curiously.
Cripple Wang hurriedly pulled Zhang Feng to the side of the corridor, and then stammered, "Director."
Zhang Feng handed Cripple Wang a cigarette and lit it himself. He smiled and said, "Just call me Feng Zi. This is not the Academy, don't be so formal."
Cripple Wang was overjoyed when he heard this. He hid the cigarette in his hand like it was a treasure, and then said, "Well, I was born in the military. Although many of them have the ability to make a living, I still have some good brothers who are still hungry. Some time ago, after hearing about our situation, they wanted to come to the mountain to live …"
Zhang Feng quickly interrupted Cripple Wang and said, "It's not that I don't want to accept people. You also saw that there are so many things happening on the mountain, but there are already more than five thousand people. This … this can't go on like this."
But Zhang Feng thought for a while and asked, "Where were your old brothers before this?"
"They just retired from the Longyou Army. Isn't the Qiuci Army going to war? Originally, they could still muddle along in the military, but now they can't! " Cripple Wang sighed and hurriedly said, "When I said muddle along, I didn't mean muddling along and waiting for death. They were all good men with good skills, but in the end, they were specially trained in the military for the Lieutenant. It has been more than ten years since then."
To be able to stay in the army for ten years, one must either have real talent or real connections. Otherwise, especially in an important military area like Guanlong, it was impossible for there to be such an existence, let alone one who had been in the army for such a long time.
Seeing that Zhang Feng did not speak, Cripple Wang asked tentatively, "Yesterday, I heard from the neighbors in Xiao Mountain that Director Qiao has moved into the Residence of the Sixteenth Prince? That place is extraordinary. Which mansion doesn't have a private army? So … President Zhang, do you want to guard the courtyard? "
"But don't worry, as long as you give them something to eat, they won't be greedy …"
