Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 213;

Lu Yaoyao made it himself, nearly an hour later.

The buns and steamed buns came out of the cage, smelling the fresh scent of wheat, both Emperor Hongwen and King Jin were amazed.

If they hadn't been watching from the sidelines the whole time, the two of them would not have believed that the material used for this white and fat steamed bun was actually wheat.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin, you have a taste."

Lu Yaoyao picked up two of them with chopsticks, put them on a plate and brought them in front of them.

"Be careful of the heat."

The two took the plate and looked it over carefully.

"It looks good."

"Not only does it look good, but it also smells good."

Emperor Hongwen nodded and continued, "I'll try it."

As he spoke, he first picked up a bun and took a bite.

"Huh? Not bad, not bad, it tastes good."

On the other side, King Jin also talked about it, and he also praised it. The two of them wiped out a steamed bun and a steamed bun in a short while.

There is a very frontal feeling of satiety.

"This thing works, Wanfu is really ingenious, since he can figure out this kind of food."

At this moment, Emperor Hongwen had personally witnessed and tasted it, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

And I couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Do those guys from the aristocratic family think that they can persecute him with all the food in their hands?
There is no unparalleled road, and now I have found another road. As long as Wen Songtao can do well, when the steamed buns are born, those guys will still want to rely on food to make a fortune for the country.

Undoubtedly, it is a fool's dream, maybe it will still fall into the hand.

"Is this thing easy to make?"

Returning to the living room of the manor house again, Emperor Hongwen asked quickly.

"It's very easy to do. Didn't you just watch it?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen clicked, and recalled what happened just now. It really looked quite simple, especially the steamed buns, which were made in the simplest way.

"Then how much flour can be produced from this catty of wheat?"

"I haven't calculated the specifics, but I think there should be seven or eight taels."

Emperor Hongwen nodded again, and then asked a lot, such as what should be paid attention to when making this stuff into flour, and what should be paid attention to when making steamed buns.

Regarding his question, Lu Yaoyao did not hide anything.

Emperor Hongwen became more and more satisfied the more he listened, this thing is really a good thing.

On the way here, he also asked King Jin about the price of the wheat, and he also knew that the wheat was usually only one or two pennies a catty, but now during the drought, it doesn't look like more than three or four pennies.

Cheap, very cheap.

Although a catty of wheat cannot produce a catty of flour, seven or eight taels is also very good.

"If your majesty needs it, it's best to buy in large quantities at this time, otherwise I'm afraid."

She didn't say what she said later, but Emperor Hongwen knew it very well.

"I have asked Wen Xiang to arrange it."

"Well, but it's better to go to a place farther away. All the surrounding areas of the capital have been bought by the courtiers."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen smiled and said, "Before coming here, King Jin has already told me that you bought tens of thousands of stones."

"Not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands."

"Hundreds of thousands of stones?"

This number shocked both Emperor Hongwen and King Jin.

"Yes, this is a good thing, and I am the only one who can do it now. As you can see, there are thousands of people in my village."

"Thousands of people can't eat so much, can they?"

Hundreds of thousands of shi, how can thousands of people eat so much?
"Humans can't eat this. Aren't there chickens, ducks and geese? There are tens of thousands of them."

"You feed chickens, ducks and geese with wheat?"

Emperor Hongwen's heart was bleeding instantly.

Prodigal son, I don’t know how much hair I’ve lost because of the food these days. You’re doing well, with such good food, feeding chickens, ducks and geese.

Are you a bit of a bully?

"Lord Wanfu County, you may not know something about the court. His Majesty has been worrying about food recently. Can you sell some of your wheat to the court?"

"Look, you have more than [-] stones now, and you definitely won't be able to use so much in your village."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao thought for a while but didn't speak.

"In this way, I will pay twice the price of your purchase price, how about buying one hundred thousand stones?"

With one hundred thousand shi of wheat, how many buns and steamed buns can be made, I can't even imagine.

As far as the current price of wheat is, even if it is 4 cents a catty, twice that is [-] cents. Compared with the hundreds of cents a catty of grain outside now, this is nothing but drizzle.

The point is, outside now, the food is in the hands of the aristocratic family, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

"Twice the price is not necessary. I can give the original price of [-] shi to Your Majesty, but I have a small request, and I hope your Majesty can agree."

Emperor Hongwen was very happy to hear that she agreed, and the original price was still [-] shi, but he was a little puzzled by the latter sentence.

"What request? Tell me, as long as it's not too much, I will agree to you."

"Actually, it's really simple."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and continued, "When you came here just now, you should have seen the situation outside the village, right?"

Emperor Hongwen nodded.

"My lady's place in the Zhuangzi is relatively remote. There are almost no other Zhuangzi around here, and it's all wasteland."

"Your Majesty wants to build some workshops here, can Your Majesty sell all the wasteland and barren mountains around here to my daughter?"

Although she has already bought a lot, there are still many places in Jingzhao Mansion. Lao Kang has also been there before, but there is no plan to sell them there.

"That's it?"

At first, I thought she had some special requirements, but it turned out that Emperor Hongwen was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Success, you don't need to pay for it. You have helped me a lot this time, and you have also researched and developed flour. You have done a lot to Dongzhou. I will reward you with all the money in this area."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Wang De.

"You will accompany Wanfu to look around in a while. You can write down the place she said she wants, and then set a boundary and report it to me."

Wang De responded quickly.

Lu Yaoyao was also very happy when he heard that he had been rewarded directly. The total of wasteland and barren hills in this garden is at least [-] to [-] mu.

"As for the original price, I can't take advantage of you. If you don't want twice as much, then buy twice as much."

"Okay, thank you Your Majesty."

Lu Yaoyao was very happy, Gu Kou made a lot of money this time.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and said again; "Your Majesty, um, I have something to ask, Your Majesty."

"It's this piece of land, so will it be considered as the fiefdom of the ministers from now on?"

"manor?"

Emperor Hongwen, King Jin and others all laughed.

What kind of fiefdom can this thing be called?

The noble fiefdoms are all food towns, for example, hundreds of households, or thousands of households, tens of thousands of households or something.

And the piece of land that Lu Yaoyao wants is all barren land and barren mountains. If this thing is rewarded to nobles as fiefdoms, then he, the emperor, will not be laughed to death?
"It's not a fief, it's just a reward. From now on, this piece of land will be yours, and you can sell it at will. In short, it's your own property."

"Even if you want to send it in later, or pass it on to your children, it's fine."
