Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 28 Negotiation
Farming the land, if you can farm the land, of course I will consider letting you farm the land. If you can farm the land, do you still have to leave your hometown and flee all the way here?

If he could farm the land, why did his father and so many officials from the state government get angry and discuss for so many days?

If you can grow the food in the market, the price of vegetables can soar every day, so that the common people can't afford to eat?
If you farm the land, you know how to farm the land, and you don’t know how to make good use of it even though you have other skills.

Changsheng felt a fire in her lungs, burning desperately, so hot that she just wanted to breathe out.

Everyone on the other side saw the red-eyed master staring at him, and they all panicked in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "Master...Master, did we say something wrong? Or we won't farm the land..."

Looking at the terrified crowd, Chang Sheng took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

After adjusting his mood, he said slowly: "Food is the most important thing for the people. I know everyone's difficulties and what it's like to be hungry. But you also know that 200 people came here yesterday, and hundreds of people came back today I will come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. They are all affected by disasters like you and can’t afford to eat. The reason why I take you in is because I don’t want people all over the world to have their wives separated and their families destroyed because of a small locust. So I take you in. You, but you also need to understand my difficulties."

"My father Tang Guogong has been an official in the court for more than ten years. He has nothing to do. He relies on his salary and the emperor's rewards to support his family. Now that the local area is hit by a disaster, as a parent official, he spends all his savings to buy food and give relief to the victims. He just can't bear to see his parents Died of starvation. As the little prince of the Duke’s Mansion, I, like him, don’t want the disaster to happen. After the epidemic is over, everyone still can’t afford to eat and is destitute.”

These words made everyone's eyes red, and they couldn't help nodding.

It is true that in the past, some family members who were infected with the epidemic directly abandoned them on the street and left them to fend for themselves. It is not like they have never seen a noble family.But it is rare in the world to be willing to take in strangers who have never met before.As for signing the deed of sale, isn't this a matter of course in their eyes?

"The land must be planted. Everyone here has to reclaim the wasteland, but it is not enough to cultivate the land. You also know that the summer solstice has passed and most of the crops have passed the sowing period. Even if the land is open, At the earliest, we can only wait for next year to cultivate, so what will we eat this winter?"

"My master can't grow wheat. We can grow sweet potatoes, green garlic, and chives for rice. It's too late to plant them now." The teacher said bravely.

Changsheng saw that these people were all elm-headed, and after going around for a long time, they still went back to the matter of opening up wasteland and farming, so he could only change his strategy and follow their train of thought.

"Do you all agree to open up wasteland and farm?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Of course, master, this is the right way." The teacher was very excited.

Chang Sheng patted his forehead, and suddenly felt that he still underestimated the love of the ancients for the land.

This is their root, and it is better to let farmers farm than to let them do anything.

"Since this is the case, please help me calculate how many acres of land need to be reclaimed if I want to feed 5000 people."

"Report to the master, I know that if you grow wheat, you can harvest one stone of wheat per acre of land, and a family of three can eat about four stones a year. Calculate this, calculate it..." The fisherman who hadn't taken the opportunity to speak said immediately.

"Six thousand five hundred acres." Zi Qiao continued.

"Six thousand five hundred acres? This is still only the area where wheat is planted, without counting other grains." This figure also shocked Changsheng, so much land is required.

"We can grow sweet potatoes. They have a large quantity. One acre can produce more than a dozen stones. It is best to cook porridge. Two of them can cook a pot..." Seeing that Changsheng seemed to be hesitant, the teacher began to offer suggestions up.

"Sweet potatoes can't be eaten as food." Zhang Hu interrupted him.

"That's better than nothing." The other party didn't back down.

"you……"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chang Sheng hurriedly said, "Sweet potatoes are good. We can't grow wheat now, so we can grow some more. You can calculate that the yield per mu is several hundred catties, and more than 6000 mu is more than 60 catties!"

"But sweet potatoes are not rice, so they can't be eaten as rice." Zhang Hu tried hard to persuade.

"Why not? Baked sweet potatoes are delicious."

"Master, roasted sweet potatoes are indeed delicious, but after two or three days, you won't be able to eat them anymore. You still need food."

"If you can't eat it, change the way to eat it, such as sweet potato porridge."

"Master, I dare to ask, what if the porridge can't be eaten anymore?"

"Then fry them and fry them into sweet potato fries."

"Master, it takes a lot of oil to fry sweet potatoes, and we don't have that much oil."

"Then have baked sweet potatoes."

……

"Roasted sweet potatoes are delicious." Ruyi, who was listening to their discussion, suddenly said this.

Forget it master, what are you kidding, if it wasn't for Changsheng's elder brother, Zhang Hu could not help getting angry at this sentence.

Changsheng couldn't bear to tease him anymore, so he hurriedly said a few words to appease him, and seriously discussed the plan of reclaiming arable land.

Now there are about 10,000 people in the camp. There are about [-] mu of plains at the foot of Longshan Mountain, and [-]+ mu of mountain land. I don’t know how much can be reclaimed and utilized.

"Master, you can try to turn the flat land into paddy fields. After the trees on the Longshan Mountain are cut down, they can be used to make houses, and the mountain land can be turned into terraced fields. Farming on the mountain in my hometown is better than on the flat land." The woodcutter thought for a while. After a long time, he finally spoke.

The teacher patted his thigh: "Yes, you can also set fire to the mountain, and then divert the water from the Si River to the mountain. I don't believe that enough land can't be opened."

Are you going to hand this over to your students, Chang Sheng complained in his heart.

Today in the 21st century, setting fire to mountains and sitting in prison.If the entire vegetation in Longshan was burned down, it would probably be sentenced to be shot for 5 minutes.But thinking about the current famine, people are starving to death, Changsheng thinks that the cause of environmental protection should be left to future generations.

"It's not impossible to burn the mountain, but you have to dig out all the treasures in the mountain before burning. You should pay more attention when you go up the mountain tomorrow, and pick more edible wild fruits, and leave the seeds for the delicious ones to grow into fruit trees. Other appearances When you see the weird flowers and plants, you should also ask Dr. Sun more, if they are not in order, they are good medicines to cure diseases and save lives, pick them back, sell them in the city for a good price, and then use the money to buy farm tools."

"Master, we are next to Jianshui. There are many ponds beside the water, and we can still fish." The fisherman suggested.

Hmph Now I think of fishing, didn't I just cry and shout to farm.The little devil in Changsheng's heart was screaming desperately.

Suppressing his exuberant spirit of complaining, Changsheng nodded and asked:

"How many fish can this Qianshui River catch?"

"It's hard to say, but if there are more than a dozen skilled fishermen, it's no problem to catch dozens of catties a day."

"A few tens of catties a day, nearly a thousand catties a month."

Ten people eat a thousand catties of fish a month, which is quite a lot. I counted silently with my fingers on my legs: "If a family eats three catties of fish a day, it is ninety catties a month, and it can feed more than a dozen families. Well, the labor force has netted ten households. Secretary Fang, count how many people know how to fish, and gather them all together.”

"We have to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of land by ourselves. There will be more and more people in the future. There will definitely be many women and children. Their physical strength is no better than yours. It should be difficult for them to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land." Changsheng carefully tentatively.

"Creating wasteland and farming is men's work. Women let them wash, cook, and clean. Children let them collect firewood and dung. In the future, when there are cattle and sheep, let them go out to raise them." Zhang Hu directly helped Changsheng plan alright.

In this way, there are no lazy people in the base, and everyone should take action.

Changsheng secretly said in his heart: "Finally it makes sense. These people's ideological work is really hard to do. Okay, now it seems that this anti-humanity and anti-environmental protection thing seems to be imminent."

Finally, Changsheng made a conclusion: "Currently the most important thing is to collect herbs. You should go up the mountain with the team leaders. After five days, the hunting team will organize the hunting team to go up the mountain, and the fishing team will organize the fishing team to go down the river to fish. The rest will cut down trees and open up wasteland. , build a house. With meat and fish, we are adding food from the state government. Opening a few thousand acres of land should be enough for this year’s ration.”
