Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 49 The Start of the Big Plan (3)

Dongzhuang is not actually called Dongzhuang. It has a funny name—Bakeerzhuang. What is the origin of it? It has something to do with Li Xian—this village originally belonged to Huangzhuang, numbered Binger, and it was Xianqing three years ago. , Gaozong awarded this village to Li Xian, originally it was right for Li Xian to give a famous name, but at the time of his birth, Li Xian was just playing when he was young, so he didn't pay any attention to this matter, and this Zhuangzi has always been Without an official name, the big guy can only continue to use the old name. After passing it around, it has become a homonym of "Bingerzhuang". What makes Erzhuang famous all over the world is not such an interesting name, but that there is a powerful person in this village, who can earn more income than others with a small village. This person is Deng Cheng, the manager of the village. .

Deng Cheng's age is not very old, just in his early thirties, but he looks old, with a dark complexion, full of vicissitudes of life on his face, coupled with his always serious expression, he looks even older, isn't it? , his eyes were very radiant, even if he was facing the master Li Xian, Deng Cheng was not at all cautious, and he was respectful and courteous in his salute, but his expression and demeanor were calm, which made Li Xian In addition to being secretly amazed, a good impression suddenly arose.

"Master Deng, please excuse me. I'm here alone in a hurry. If there is any disturbance, please don't blame Mr. Deng."

Seeing Deng Cheng's extraordinary demeanor, Li Xian was delighted, his words were naturally a lot more polite, and his expression was very kind, it didn't seem like he was giving orders to his servants, but rather he seemed to be visiting.

"This subordinate does not dare. If His Highness has something to do, just give orders, and this subordinate will certainly obey."

Deng Cheng was not flattered by Li Xian's kindness, he stood up gracefully, bowed his hands and replied.

"Well, that's good, let's ask Guanshi Deng to lead Gu Jinzhuang for a walk."

Although Li Xian had already had a high opinion of Deng Cheng, he didn't intend to explain why he came here, nor was he in a hurry to test Deng Cheng's business ability, but waved his hand with a smile and made a simple request.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys, Your Highness please!"

Deng Cheng didn't know what Li Xian's intention was when he came here, and he didn't understand what Li Xian's intention was when he went into the village. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any questions. He just took a half step back respectfully. He turned slightly to one side, bowed his body, and made a "please" gesture.

"Ah."

Li Xian didn't say any more nonsense, nodded with a smile, raised his foot and walked forward, looking all the way, asking a few questions from time to time, as if he was very curious about everything, thanks to Deng Cheng's familiarity with Zhuangzhong For affairs, the response is fluent and decent, and the reasons can often be explained clearly in a few words.

As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, and you don’t know if you don’t see it. After seeing it, Li Xian really had a sense of surprise that he had found a treasure—don’t look at Li Xian’s pampered and pampered appearance, in fact, he is right. However, he is no stranger to agriculture. When later generations entered the officialdom, Li Xian came up from the villages and towns. He was in charge of agriculture at the beginning, and he often wandered around the fields. Although he dare not say that he is an agricultural expert, he is definitely not. As a layman, if you think back to the past, the rise of "ecological farms" around Xi'an was a major political achievement of Li Xian, and what you see in front of you is exactly what Li Xian advocated back then. Even if there are slight differences, overall, But they are almost the same - orchards, vegetable fields, rice fields, pig farms, and poultry farms are lined up around fish ponds in turn, and rotten vegetable leaves and straw are used as feed. Fertilizer, and then return to the field, in which the fish pond is not only used as a source of water for irrigation, but also can raise fish, ducks, and grow lotus roots. More importantly, returning livestock manure to the field can also ensure that the field is full of fertility and does not need to be rotated What's more, in this way, it is not surprising that the income is higher than that of other manors of the same area.

"Eco-farm" seems to be nothing out of the ordinary at first glance, but the magic lies in recycling. This kind of concept is not something that ordinary people can figure out. Even if they can think of it, it is not so easy to do it. If any link is not handled properly, the whole chain will collapse completely. Li Xian has experienced this, so he knows how difficult it is. However, it seems that all this is not difficult for Deng Cheng. The whole "Cake Shop" Under his management, it seems to be in good order. Each tenant in the village has its own responsibilities, and the division of labor is clear, but it is extraordinary to cooperate with each other, which is completely in line with the management classics of later generations.

It's amazing, it's really amazing, maybe this guy also came from time travel?Li Xian wandered around the village, feeling refreshed, but he couldn't help feeling a little bit suspicious. Farmers in this era only know how to plan food vigorously in the ground, and there is no concept of recycling at all. , to be honest, let alone farmers in this era, even in the era of extremely developed industries in later generations, the vast majority of farmers are still mostly uncivilized. Those who can think of the concept of "ecological cycle" are definitely elites How could Li Xian not be suspicious when such an advanced concept appeared in his own village?It's just that Li Xiancheng's mansion is deep, and he didn't rush to get to the bottom of it. Instead, he continued to visit the garden with doubts, until he turned back to the main courtyard of the manor, retreated all his subordinates, and left only Deng Cheng alone. It was only then that I started to think about it.

"Deng Guanshi Zhuangzi has done a good job, it's very lonely, it's hard work."

When Li Xian was in the officialdom in his previous life, he had many "heart-to-heart talks" with his subordinates. He was very good at how to set up the bottom line. He was not in a hurry to ask the bottom line, but put on a gossip attitude and praised with a smile. I said a few words to Deng Cheng. Of course, Li Xian's remarks are not empty words. In fact, considering the current appearance of "Cake Shop", if Li Xian were to do it himself, at most it would be more The use of biogas is all it takes. As for the rest, there is really no room for improvement.

"Your Highness has misrepresented the award, this subordinate should be responsible for it."

Deng Cheng never believed that Li Xian came here just to inspect the farm, but since Li Xian didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask nonsense. Seeing Li Xian's words of praise, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him. .

"Well, having said that, of course, one should be rewarded for being able to do things well. Gu is not a stingy person. Since I can do things for Gu with sincerity, I can't lose you if I am alone. I will pass on an order to reward you with thirty guan. Is Steward Deng satisfied with doubling the monthly salary?" Li Xian was obviously very satisfied with Deng Cheng's attitude, so he smiled and nodded, and rewarded him wantonly.

"This. This subordinate can't do it. Please take it back, my subordinate..."

The reward offered by Li Xian was not insignificant, but Deng Cheng not only was not overjoyed, but declined in trepidation.

"Guan Deng doesn't need to refuse, I will never take back what Gu said, this matter is settled like this!"

Li Xian laughed out loud, interrupted Deng Cheng's words with a wave of his hand, and made a bold conclusion.

"Subordinate, I thank Your Highness for the reward!"

Hearing what Li Xian said, Deng Cheng couldn't hold himself back any longer, and saluted with excitement, his tone trembling involuntarily.

"That's right, let's be flat, you don't need to be restrained in front of Gu, and Gu Xiang doesn't like politeness." Li Xian raised his hand with a smile, motioned Deng Cheng to stand up, and then looked at Deng Cheng with a smile, casually Asked: "I heard that Guanshi Deng is from Taiyuan. I don't know if there is anyone else in the family?"

"Returning to Your Highness, my father died early, and there is still an old mother in the house, and now I am in the village with my wife and three sons." When Li Xian asked about family affairs, Deng Cheng hurriedly suppressed his excitement and replied respectfully .

"Oh, that's great. It's really good that the whole family can live together." After Li Xian commented with a smile, he changed the topic to "ecological farm" again: "I don't see how well you take care of this village." Jia, it’s really beyond what anyone can do, but I don’t know how Deng Guanshi acquired this ability, I’m so curious.”

"His Royal Highness, this is all recorded in "Qi Min Yao Shu". It is not the original creation of my subordinates. My subordinates failed to study, but I read a lot of miscellaneous books. This was recorded when I was young. Later, I saw the situation in Zhuangzhong. Where it could be practiced, the subordinates went there on their own, lucky enough to succeed, and dare not take credit for it." Seeing that Li Xian asked about Zhuangzi, Deng Cheng did not hide anything, and replied humbly.

""Qi Min Yao Shu"?"

Li Xian naturally knew that this book was written by Jia Sixie, an agronomist in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Saying so, he was taken aback immediately.

"I really dare not lie to Your Highness. This kind of farming method is mentioned in the article, but it has not been opened separately. If you don't study it carefully, it is easy to miss it. This subordinate is just a brief summary based on the scriptures, not Dare to plunder the beauty of the predecessors." Seeing that Li Xian was puzzled by what he said, Deng Cheng hastily explained it.

"So it turns out that Xiao Wang is ignorant and ignorant. Deng Guanshi can see and know a little bit, so he is alone." Li Xian saw that Deng Cheng didn't look like he was lying, so he believed it a little bit, but the doubts in his heart were still not completely resolved. Relieved, this nodded thoughtfully, and after pretending to ponder for a while, he said to himself, "Well, if the methane gas can also be used, it would be more perfect."

"Mash gas?"

This time it was Deng Cheng's turn to be dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out what the marsh gas Li Xian was talking about, so he muttered in a daze, and frowned, thinking about it.

"Oh? Hahaha..."

Seeing Deng Cheng brooding over there, Li Xian suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that the second monk Deng Chengzhang couldn't figure it out, looked at Li Xian who was laughing maniacally at a loss, smacked his lips, thinking Asking but not daring, immediately amused Li Xian's laughter a bit louder.

"Your Highness, my subordinates, my subordinates..."

Deng Cheng was completely confused by Li Xianxiao, he forced himself to open his mouth in panic, but he didn't know how to proceed with the question, his face was flushed red like blood with embarrassment.
