Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 275
In the past few days, apart from teaching at school, Jin Yu went to Qin, Cheng, and Du's homes respectively. Of course, they all went to give gifts, but the gifts were slightly different.

When I went to the Qin Mansion, Mr. Qin entertained his son-in-law alone, "When the old man went to Jinjiazhuang, he was very happy to see the yams growing gratifyingly, but he didn't expect the output to be so high. , or in the yamen, it’s all about the jade and potato, which is more eye-catching than cotton. Now your Majesty is suppressing it. The regulations on how to promote it have not yet been finalized, so there are fewer problems. When the regulations are finalized, there will be you boy I have a headache."

"What's the headache? The court has promoted the sweet potato seeds, so what's the matter with me?" Jin Yu pretended not to understand, so he asked.

"You kid still needs some experience." Qin Qiong frowned a little, not because Jin Yu didn't understand, but because he was worried for Jin Yu.Jinyu has already done very well among his peers. "Cotton is better. It can't be eaten or drunk. The imperial court also restricts planting. Some people can only be anxious because they are jealous. There is no way to grow them. It’s the same, if His Majesty wants to promote it on a large scale? One acre can produce as much as six or seven mu of rice fields, and you don’t need to take care of it carefully. Will anyone be jealous? The area of ​​the province is much larger) the officials can beat the head!"

"That's true." Jin Yu also figured out the deeper stakes in Qin Qiong's point.Planting sweet potatoes is not a one-time investment that only brings one-time income, but a steady stream of income. Now that people only want food and clothing, sweet potatoes are definitely more attractive than other good varieties!

"You kid first think about what is a good way to deal with it, and the old man will think about it later." Qin Qiong issued the order to evict the guest.

"Your Majesty won't force you to buy my son-in-law's sweet potatoes?" Jin Yu walked to the door, suddenly remembered a question, and turned to ask his father-in-law.

"Stinky boy! I'm just thinking about it!" Qin Qiong stared, and said angrily: "Do you think it's a robber? The royal family needs face. If it wasn't for the people of the world last time, do you think the empress would talk to you? "

"Hey, calm down, my son-in-law is leaving!" Seeing that he had offended the old man, Jin Yu hurried away.In fact, this issue is also what Jin Yu has been worried about. The imperial power society, Jinkou Yuyan, said one thing, read too many poisonous articles and so on, and was misled.Now it is the Zhenguan period, and the government is clear. For the time being, there will be no situation of "half a horse of red silk and one zhang of silk tied to the cow's head to fill charcoal straight". That is all done by the unworthy descendants of Li Erye.

After arriving at Cheng's mansion, before Jin Yu could salute, the immortal Cheng gave Jin Yu a slap on the shoulder and said happily, "Good boy! I didn't hurt you in vain! I know how to send some sweet potatoes to honor the old man ! These days there are many discussions about Yushu in the court, I can only listen to it, and the feeling of not being able to eat it is so uncomfortable!"

Before Jin Yu could respond, Old Fairy Cheng yelled at Cheng Huaimo again: "You brat, why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you send this sweet potato to the kitchen for the old man to cook?"

Well, shut up, Jin Yu thought.He raised his hands and clasped his ears. He was shaken by the voice of Old Fairy Cheng just now, and his voice almost caught up with the power amplifier of the square dance aunt, and his throat didn't hurt, which is really strange.

"You really don't stop, kid. It's only been over a year, and you've gotten so much attention." After Cheng Huaimo walked away, Old Fairy Cheng dragged Jin Yu to the study room and chattered with him, but his voice was much quieter.

"Boy didn't do it on purpose." Jin Yu felt aggrieved when he heard this. Some of it was not out of his own intention. He wanted to keep a low profile, but every thing can be said to be epoch-making for this era, and there is no way to avoid it. Attention.

"The old man taught you, just listen! Are you still wronged?" Old Cheng Jin slammed into a chair, pulled the twist on the table, and started eating, waiting for the bull's eye, while eating He also taught Jin Yu a lesson: "A few days ago, I entered the palace in the name of a home visit, and I wronged you? You don't even look at what kind of place it is, and you can enter and exit it? It's just that your majesty didn't mean to go into it, otherwise you If you don't die, you have to peel off your skin! Just say that in this old man's house, if the old man didn't speak, do you think you can come in and out freely?"

"Your old lesson is right, kid will definitely change it next time!" The elder sits and lectures, the younger generation can only stand and listen, the old Cheng has profound skills, and while talking about twists and turns, he flew out and sprayed Jin Yu's face.Jin Yu could only turn his head quietly. Lao Cheng's office is really grand, with thick desks, thick chairs, not many books on the bookshelves, but a lot of snacks everywhere...

"Huh! You kid said it out of nowhere, and I won't talk about other old men. Do you want me to send some capable people to help you guard Yushu? Oh, by the way, the old man's Wangcai has grown a lot. One is ruthless, he is a good housekeeper, you can take it with you!" Probably thinking of his own Tibetan mastiff, Lao Cheng was a little excited, as if he had raised it for biting people...

"This... Thank you Uncle Cheng for your kindness, but don't you need it for the time being? My nephew has already sent more people, and there are many people guarding it at twelve hours a day." Jin Yu thanked Old Cheng for his kindness, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to the lion's child It's sad, it's not good to call it, it was named Wangcai...

"That's right, it's much better now than when the old man went up the mountain. I guess no one would dare to pull a team to grab it. If there is a need, just talk to your Uncle Cheng. Anyway, the old man will not let others bully you!" After finishing, The old goblin Cheng got old again, stared at her eyes, and gave the order to chase away the guests: "Stinky boy, the sweet potato has been delivered, what are you still doing here? Waiting for the old man to treat you to eat sweet potatoes? Why don't you get out of here?"

Coming out of Cheng's mansion, Jin Yu felt warm in his heart. Although Lao Cheng didn't give any advice, he also gave himself some confidence.Although he looks big and rough on the outside, but he is fine in his heart. He also feels that the sweet potato has caused a lot of problems recently, and some people may even spy on him. Yes, there is no anti-thief for a thousand days, it seems that the security work should be upgraded.

The sweet potatoes have not been harvested yet, but the output can be roughly estimated. Even if it is sold for a penny a catty, the income brought by the sweet potatoes is not as good as Cheng Huaimo's original purchase of the bottle of perfume.I mentioned it to Cheng Huaimo later, but he just insisted that it was the market price, and refused to admit that he took advantage of his Cheng family.Judging from today's situation, it is very likely that Mr. Cheng greeted Cheng Huaimo in advance. Based on this foundation, Mr. Cheng is likely to be taller than his father-in-law. It's just rough, which may be the reason why he stands tall.

Since Mr. Cheng is so mean to him, he can't be stingy, so before leaving, Jin Yu told Cheng Huaimo: "From now on, two sweet potatoes a day, you don't have to worry about not being able to get out of the latrine in winter, not enough sweet potatoes Get it from my house again, goodbye!"

Although Li Erye personally bestowed the name "Yushu", Jin Yu still used to call it sweet potato.The biggest meaning of the name Yushu to him is that he can make more money in the later operation.

Both Qin and Cheng's mansions had no good solution, so Jin Yu decided to go to Du's mansion again. The reputation of Fang Mou Duan was not for nothing, and some ideas were given by Du Xiang to Li Erye.In addition to sending a portion of sweet potatoes to Du's mansion, Jin Yu also brought an extra cart of sweet potato seedlings, which were neatly bundled and really beautiful.Du Gou politely guided Jin Yu to Du Ruhui's study, or else Li Erye had means, and Du Xiang was in poor health, so Li Erye specially approved him not to go to court, and just handle official duties at home.

"Guitang is here, sit down quickly." Du Ruhui greeted Jin Yu very politely, and then said to Du Gou: "Gouer, go make a cup of good tea."

"Uncle Du, you're welcome. My nephew came here just to deliver something, and didn't intend to disturb you." Jin Yu restrained himself a lot in Du Ruhui's house, not as casually as he was in Qin Cheng's house, "But it looks like you look much better."

"Haha, isn't it thanks to Gui Tang? If it weren't for Gui Tang, I would have died long ago." Du Ruhui laughed, stood up and pressed Jin Yu on the chair. "Guitang doesn't need to see outsiders. Daoist Sun will come every ten days to check the old man's pulse. I'm afraid it's also your instruction?"

"How can it be? Daozhang Sun was moved by Uncle Du's spirit of working hard for the country, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to come here. This time when my nephew came to visit, Daozhang Sun also begged me to bring you some yam vines, saying that they were dried in the sun. Drinking boiled water can relieve thirst, and you can also eat some yams, which is also very good for your body." Jin Yu firmly refused to admit any credit for it, and just nodded.Right?
"Haha, I like to hear this, but I am so worried about the recipe you gave me. I am tired of eating the same food every day." After listening to Jin Yu's words, Du Ruhui nodded slightly, appreciating it very much.Although Sun Simiao did his best to diagnose his own pulse every time, his attitude was definitely not enthusiastic. It seemed that Jin Yu did not come here because he was moved by him. Besides, Sun Simiao was Jin Yu's junior, the answer was ready to come.

"It's a bit monotonous, but Uncle Du please put your body first." Jin Yu suggested.

"The old man knows. Gui Tang has caused a lot of commotion recently. What are you going to do with the jade and potato seeds?" Du Ruhui said very well, knowing that Jin Yu would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he was ready to change the topic to hot events. Give him some advice.

"My nephew hasn't figured it out yet, so I won't make any taboos if I sell it for some money?" Jin Yu asked tentatively.

Du Ruhui pondered for a while, and said: "There is nothing taboo. No matter who planted it, they will eat it in the end. No matter which method is used, the common people can benefit. You can decide what you own. This is what Your Majesty meant. .”

"That's really great!" Jin Yu finally got reassurance, Li Erye was kind to him, and finally he can let go and make a fortune!

"You're too cautious, kid." Du Ruhui saw Jin Yu's happy expression, thought about the reply of "let him make troubles" on the memorial, and said, "Your Majesty is generous, as long as you don't shake the foundation of the country, you can make troubles. You Zhuangzi has a lot of things to think about, go back and get ready."
