Chapter 119 Great Tang Chun! ! !
After Zhuang Zhou left, Li Er and Cheng Yaojin walked around the West Market.
For private visits, understand the living conditions of ordinary people.
It is also something Li Er likes to do on weekdays.
"Brother Qin, I thought you left? Have you eaten?"
"not yet!"
"Then let's go together!"
Zhuang Zhou said and asked Ling'er to add two more pairs of chopsticks.
Still the old rules.
Ma San and others took a big bowl, filled the food, and then went aside to eat.
Zhuang Zhou, Li Er, and Cheng Yaojin sat down on the stone table again.
Li Er was originally waiting for Zhuang Zhou to bring out the Red Star Erguotou to drink!
But this time.
Zhuang Zhou was in a good mood and took out a bottle of Moutai.
"I'm having a great time today. I'll have a drink with my two brothers at noon."
Li Er pursed his lips and said:
"I see Brother Zhuang Xian made a lot of money today. Are you going to give us this?"
"This is great wine!"
As Zhuang Zhou opened the lid of the wine, a strong aroma of wine lingered out.
It spread instantly.
For a moment, the entire backyard was filled with the aroma of wine.
Cheng Yaojin suddenly became interested:
"Brother Zhuang, your wine is pretty good!"
"of course!"
Zhuang Zhou smiled lightly, his face full of confidence.
This Maotai is a Maotai-flavor liquor with a strong aroma.
After all, this can be used as a state banquet to entertain foreign guests.
Of course it’s a good wine.
Li Er also closed his eyes and sniffed, and soon realized that this wine was probably even better than Red Star Erguotou.
And based on his understanding of good wine, this wine can be recognized as the best wine in the world just by its aroma.
"Brother Qin, please!"
Li Er nodded, slowly picked up the wine glass, brought it to the tip of his nose and took a sniff.
Sure enough, the wine tastes pure and honest.
This scene attracted Cheng Yaojin.
Suddenly I felt that the Coke in my hand no longer tasted good.
At this time, his eyes were straightened, and he looked at Li Er without saying anything.
There was a hint of greed in his mouth.
But Li Er didn't look at him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hiss! It really is a good wine!"
Li Er commented that this wine is indeed extraordinary compared to Red Star Erguotou.
Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips after hearing this, and took another big gulp of Coke.
The three of them chatted while eating.
Li Erben came with a purpose today.
I had already asked Chang Le to do a test before. This guy had mentioned that there was a way to provide food for all the people of the Tang Dynasty.
For this reason, Zhuang Zhou was specially knighted.
This must not be given in vain!
"Brother Zhuang Xian, do you know how to farm?"
"Farming?"
Zhuang Zhou was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, can you farm?"
"will not!"
The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched. In his opinion, it could solve the people's problem of eating.
It must be solved from the land.
Just when he was about to say more, Zhuang Zhou said:
"However, I have seen other people farming, and I still know the basic procedures."
Li Er became interested and asked:
"Then what Brother Zhuang Xian said, how can we grow more food on this land?"
"This! It's simple!"
Zhuang Zhou didn't even want to say:
“This starts with seeds, and high-yielding varieties must be selected and bred.”
"Good seed? What does this mean?"
Zhuang Zhou asked back:
"Let me ask you, where do you get this kind of seed from your farm here?"
"Of course we should save the seeds! We choose seeds that are more than one year old and have full grains, and then they must be stored carefully to avoid insects and mold, so they need to be preserved with mugwort."
Zhuang Zhou could probably imagine that it would be this kind of crude method.
He shook his head and said:
"You can't do this! The yields of those developed from these seeds will decrease year by year."
Most modern seeds rely on breeding companies to select and save seeds, and these seeds will retain their original purity.
But in this era, due to technical constraints, it can only be solved through self-saved seeds.
Therefore, most people in ancient times chose to raise seedlings first.
Choose strong growing seedlings for planting to increase crop yields.
When Zhuang Zhou expressed his thoughts, Li Er was completely shocked.
"Brother Zhuang Xian, are you saying that you can get better seeds?"
"Yes."
Zhuang Zhou nodded and said:
“Including fertilizers, I can also get them.
With good seeds, good fertilizer can be provided.
As long as the land is managed diligently, high-yielding crops can be grown in Datang's land. "
The more Li Er listened, the more excited he became. He knew that this kid definitely had a way.
"Brother Zhuang Xian, if you can really improve the production of the people of the Tang Dynasty and let the people have enough food, I'm afraid it's not impossible for the emperor to grant you a king with a different surname!"
I don’t know if he got aroused after drinking two drinks, but Li Er’s words were so refreshing.
Zhuang Zhou rolled his eyes and couldn't help but said:
"It's easy to put it simply, you think the court is run by your family."
Although he is a science student, Zhuang Zhou also knows what the idiom of "conferring a prince and worshiping a prime minister" means.
What a big contribution you have to make!
Now he has been granted the title of county baron.
After all, it was because of the sweet potatoes offered...
and many more.
sweet potato?
Zhuang Zhou suddenly thought of something.
The sweet potatoes I brought were asked to be taken away by Brother Qin in front of me.
But how could the emperor know this news?
He even knighted himself as a result.
So Zhuang Zhou naturally guessed something.
"Brother Qin, are you from the government?"
Li Er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and responded reluctantly:
"To be honest, Brother Zhuang Xian, the two of us are indeed from the government, serving as servants in the imperial court."
He originally thought that Zhuang Zhou would avoid them after hearing this.
But who knows.
Zhuang Zhou came over and clinked the wine glass:
"Brother Qin, you have to protect your brother from now on!"
After experiencing this incident, Zhuang Zhou felt that it was necessary to find a backer.
This is ancient society.
There is an orderly hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, and a deep and strict hierarchy.
If we want to continue to develop, this is a hurdle we can never overcome.
In the final analysis, Zhuang Zhou must develop his own strength.
"I can be knighted this time. I guess you must have recommended it to the court, right?"
Zhuang Zhou asked directly.
Apart from that, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would help him.
Li Er narrowed his eyes, this was a little different from what he originally thought.
Originally, he thought Zhuang Zhou was the kind of person who considered himself noble.
So I recommended Zhuang Zhou, but he was still unwilling to admit it.
But now, it seems to be the complete opposite!
Nodding, Li Er admitted:
"That's right! I recommended you to the emperor. You don't know that the emperor was immediately delighted after hearing the magical effects of sweet potatoes you presented. So, in the final analysis, this is still your own credit!"
Zhuang Zhou certainly didn't think it was his own credit.
He just did something trivial.
If it weren't for Brother Qin's recommendation this time, he wouldn't be knighted.
Then the county government affairs will not be solved so easily.
If you want to live in Chang'an City in the future, and do well.
The road to becoming an official is a must.
But Zhuang Zhou thought that the best thing was to only have an official position and not do anything.
He didn't want to get involved in the court's right and wrong.
Thinking of this, he picked up Maotai and filled Li Er with a glass of wine.
He didn't finish the rest, so he took it back and drank it slowly.
Unexpectedly, it was only at this time that Li Er remembered something.
"Brother Zhuang Xian, what is the name of this wine?"
Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, he couldn't say Maotai. He shook his head and said:
"No name yet! How about Brother Qin pick one up!"
Li Er thought for a while and said:
"This wine is like fairy wine, rare in the world. It is not an exaggeration to call it the national wine. Why not call it 'Da Tang Chun'!"
