Chapter 306
Liu Jing fell into a long period of contemplation, but in the end he could not stand Zhou Yuan's rhetoric and was forced to agree to give up 100,000 acres of land.
"The farmland is selected in Jizhou, which is least affected by the drought climate and has low food pressure. Even if these 100,000 mu of land do not produce any harvest, it will not affect the market price of food."
"But if the people want to grow sweet potatoes, they need to pay money and promise to give one or two taels of silver per mu of land."
Zhou Yuan frowned, calculated carefully, and said: "Jizhou mainly grows wheat, with an output of less than two shi per mu. The market price of each shi of wheat is about... four hundred coins."
Liu Jing said in a deep voice: "The market price is four hundred, but there is a shortage of food everywhere these years, and the selling price is often higher than the market price. It is no problem to buy one thousand coins for two shi of wheat."
"And if you want the people to actively participate, you must give more. One or two taels of silver is appropriate."
"You must spend these 100,000 taels of silver."
"And the advantage is that the people get the money and don't have to intercept the harvest. All of it belongs to you."
Zhou Yuan is rich, but he doesn't spend 100,000 at every turn. It seems that he still needs to ask the senior sister to reimburse this money.
"I'd like to trouble Lord Liu to send his confidant to personally supervise the planting."
Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "This plan is not only related to the pacification of the Central Plains, but also to the people of the world of Dajin and the descendants of future generations. Since we have to do it, we must strictly follow the planting standards and get things done properly."
"I will come up with specific planting methods within two days. Lord Liu needs to send someone to guide the people."
Liu Jing nodded and sighed: "Don't worry, I will pay more attention to this matter than you. If it is true as you said, this sweet potato can produce dozens of stones per mu and is sweet and delicious, it will be a great achievement for generations to come."
As soon as the voice fell, Ziyuan's voice came from outside: "Son-in-law, there is a name card sent up, Lord Gao Biao asked the maid to deliver it to you."
Liu Jing stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I'm going to eat, you can do your thing, Zhou Yuan, I'll wait for your planting method."
"Okay!"
Zhou Yuan sent Liu Jing out and took the name card at the same time. When he opened it, his brows frowned immediately.
This is a letter from Tian Ren, but there is only an ancient text on it.
"The way of the great way is that the world is for the public, the wise and the capable are selected, and trust and harmony are maintained..."
"Therefore, conspiracy is not born, theft and chaos are not committed, and the outer door is not closed, which is the great harmony."
A book of rites is obviously expressing the thoughts of the Kaidai pseudo-dynasty. Although there are no other words, the meaning is very clear.
Tian Ren is saying that the Jin Dynasty is not worthy of loyalty, and wants Zhou Yuan to abandon darkness and join the light, and build a world of great harmony with the Kaidai Dynasty.
"Ziyuan, take it to the back kitchen and burn it."
Zhou Yuan gave an order, but fell into deep thought again. Could it be that the Kaidai court was really established by a time traveler? Why is there a people's livelihood thought everywhere?
But if Zhang Bailong is really a modern person, how could he not understand Li Zicheng's previous experience?
Perhaps it is just a coincidence. This era does have the budding of the idea of equality, and it is not surprising that outstanding people come up with these ideas.
But... this is very disturbing to my heart!
As a time traveler, I naturally hope to establish the so-called Great Harmony Society. Do I really want to join some Kaidai Dynasty?
"Unless I have no brains."
Zhou Yuan murmured. After all, he also understood historical materialism. In the period when the mode of production and the mode of exchange have not undergone fundamental changes, we can only progress slowly according to the trajectory of history. There is no legend of earth-shaking.
"Husband! Husband!"
Zhao Jianjia hurried over, her expression was obviously a little flustered, and whispered: "Go out and see, there are so many people outside the mansion, thousands of them, don't be troublemakers."
"What?"
Zhou Yuan was confused. All the monsters gathered on this day.
He strode out, and saw Xiong Kuohai and Liu Jing put down their chopsticks and stood up.
"What's going on?"
Liu Jing frowned and said, "Is there someone making trouble outside?"
Xiong Kuohai said in a deep voice, "Zhou Yuan, let's go out and take a look! I really don't believe that someone is rebelling against the heavens!"
Qu Ling and others looked at each other, worried.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Yuan, Liu Jing, Xiong Kuohai and others strode out, and were also shocked when they opened the door.
The whole street was crowded with people, and it was impossible to count how many there were for a while, and they were all citizens of Shenjing, not other people.
"Ah! Zhongwu Bo is out!"
"Lord Zhou is out!"
Some people exclaimed, and some stood up and said loudly: "Lord Zhou is moving to a new house today, and we ordinary people dare not follow him, so we come to say congratulations to Lord Zhou!"
"Yes, congratulations to Lord Zhou on moving to a new house, and I wish Lord Zhou good health and a happy family!"
An old woman shouted, "Lord Zhou, I took"I brought two old hens here, please accept them, sir."
"Sir Zhou, these are salted duck eggs from my family..."
Countless people were talking everywhere, and the whole street was noisy.
The guests at the banquet who heard the noise also walked slowly to the door, with a puzzled look on their faces.
A middle-aged man strode out of the crowd and choked up, "Sir Zhou, I am... You may not remember me, my daughter is a victim of Huichun Pavilion..."
"Sir Zhou is loyal and brave, and killed the evildoer in court. We have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you. Now that you have moved to a new house, we want to send a small gift to show our gratitude."
Another woman walked to the front, knelt down, and cried, "Thank you, Sir Zhou, for helping my daughter get revenge. I kowtow to you!"
"We kowtow to you! "
Dozens of victims' families knelt down.
Seeing this, Zhao Jianjia was also stunned and hurriedly said: "Ziyuan, Qingyuan, Mingrui, hurry up and help them up, don't let them kneel."
The scene was in chaos, and many people were still making noises.
"Master Zhou, we are vendors in Liuda Lane..."
"We are vegetable sellers!"
"We are from Tongluo Lane in the outer city. It used to be a stinking place, but now it is clean. It's all thanks to Master Zhou for doing practical things!"
"Thank you Master Zhou!"
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Li He, pour me a bowl of wine!"
"Yes!"
Li He ran in and handed Zhou Yuan a full bowl of wine.
Zhou Yuan picked up the wine bowl, looked at the people on the street, and shouted: "Fellow villagers! Zhou Yuan is in a position to do his job, which is his duty, and he cannot bear any praise. "
"Today, you all come to congratulate me. I, Zhou Yuan, appreciate your kindness, but I dare not ask for any gifts. I can't express it in other words. I will toast you all a glass of wine. It's all in the wine."
He drank the wine in the bowl in big gulps, and then said loudly: "Please go back! Thank you!"
He didn't wait for anyone to respond, but turned around and went back to the mansion.
His steps were a little heavy, but his mood was inexplicably light.
Zhao Jianjia followed him, took his arm, and smiled: "Husband, how do you feel now?"
Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "What feelings, let's continue eating."
Zhao Jianjia blinked her eyes, her face full of pride: "I am very happy, the law of nature is clear, everything you have done is remembered by the people, and I am proud of you. ”
She leaned her head on Zhou Yuan's shoulder and said softly: "Suddenly I feel that all the hardships are not bitter, everything is worth it."
"Justice is clear?"
Zhou Yuan muttered to himself, wiped his face casually, and forced a smile.
Zhao Jianjia said: "Husband is unhappy?"
"No."
Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "It's just a little unexpected. I thought it was a riot."
Zhao Jianjia said softly: "I also thought it was a riot. After all, our mansion is always uneasy, but... I saw the scene of the people kneeling down, husband, I really wanted to cry."
"Husband, are you going to cry too? That's why you hurried away?"
Zhou Yuan laughed dryly: "No way, a real man will not cry."
Zhao Jianjia tilted her head, looked at Zhou Yuan's face carefully, and chuckled: "Lie."
