Phi-Fic Chapter 119
Chapter 119
"Ziqian, this potato skill is in the present age, and it will be beneficial in the future. As long as it is popularized, the whole man will no longer be hungry. This is a great contribution."
Xun Yu looked at Liu Jin enthusiastically, as long as the potatoes are in hand, the people of the world will be able to use them, and in the future, Ziqian will probably be the seat.
"It's easier said than done to promote it." Liu Jin sighed.
First of all, there is not enough food, and there is not enough food for the family, so how can we promote it.
It would take three to two years to supply the [-] troops of Yingchuan College, let alone feed the people of the whole country.
Secondly, the promotion of new crops, without the permission and assistance of the imperial court, may not be promoted for several generations.
But will the imperial court allow it? Eighty percent of the time it will not.
Manchurian civil and military affairs, Liu Jin dare to say that more than half of the people will not agree to this matter, even if they reluctantly agree, they will definitely cause trouble in the dark.
If potatoes are really popularized, the common people will not go hungry, and who will sell the land, so how can they annex the land.
The huge amount of food stored in their home must not be devalued, who is to blame for this loss.
Don't underestimate these people's obsession with the land, it is engraved in their bones.
Unless the entire productive force is liberated and evolution from farming civilization to industrial civilization, no one can get rid of the obsession with land.
But if you can’t get enough to eat, how to liberate productivity is an endless loop.
So if you want to spread potatoes quickly, you may have to rely on iron and blood methods to pave the way with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Besides, even if the imperial court agrees, the common people must approve it.
If they keep planting and there is no harvest in the end, then they can't even pay the tax, and the whole family will drink the northwest wind next.
They wouldn't believe anything until they saw the potato crop with their own eyes.
They are willing to try unless the imperial court's credibility is improved and they can promise to guarantee their food and clothing.
So Ling Ling finally figured it out, if potatoes can be fully promoted within ten years, then it will be very popular.
This is still when he becomes the emperor and all policies are given the green light.
Otherwise, you can see if those aristocratic families will classify potatoes into the category of "evil" and "poison", and then prohibit their cultivation.
They will even stand on the commanding heights of morality and criticize Liu Jin's actions as a disaster for the country and the people, evil spirits and crooked ways.
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to promote it. Take your time. If you don't accumulate small (kui three tones) steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small currents, you can't become a river." Xi Zhong looked at Liu Jin with a smile.
"Ziqian, this is your responsibility and your life's mission."
Liu Jin was stunned, and said with a complex expression: "Yes, this is my responsibility and mission."
Now that you have taken the status of the eldest son of the emperor and enjoyed the convenience it brings, you must bear the corresponding responsibilities, otherwise, no one will sincerely convince you.
Just like the emperor Liu Hong, he only cares about pleasure, and now the world is in chaos.
After Liu Hong's death, the entire Han Dynasty fell apart immediately.
"Even if I spend my whole life, as long as I can make the people of the world no longer hungry, then I will live my life in vain."
"Haha, I've been taught, I've been taught."
Liu Jin who wanted to understand laughed and saluted Xi Zhong.
Xun Yu, Xi Zhong and the others also looked at Liu Jin with smiles in their eyes. If a master is not clear about his own duties, then he is not worthy of assistance.
"Wen Ruo, arrange for someone to dig a cellar to store these potatoes and plant them next year."
"Don't worry, Ziqian, this potato is a precious lump now, and I will send someone to watch it carefully in the future." Xun Yu responded with a smile.
After Liu Jin arranged the next thing, he smiled and said:
"Let's not go home drunk tonight, let you taste the taste of these potatoes by the way."
"Thank you Ziqian."
Everyone saluted with a smile and did not refuse, so they regarded it as seeing Liu Jin off.
"Okay, then I'll go back and get ready."
After Liu Jin finished speaking, he asked Dian Wei to pick up a basket of potatoes, turned around and went back.
In the evening, under Liu Jin's guidance, Zhao Dafu's wife, Sun, prepared a large pot of stewed beef with potatoes, and prepared more than a dozen dishes, all of which were large enough to satisfy the stomach.
It includes shredded potatoes, mashed potatoes, cubed potatoes, and fried potatoes.
As everyone sat down, they all looked curiously at the various potato dishes in front of them.
Liu Jin explained to everyone one by one, and then waved his hand.
"Open the table!"
After speaking, Liu Jin first picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, and then another piece of potato. Shu Shuang's eyes became fascinated. He hadn't eaten this thing for several years.
Everyone put down their chopsticks one after another, and they couldn't stop talking after eating.
Only Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xu Ding ate without raising their heads, and kept their heads down, adhering to the principle of "strike quickly and eat meat", no matter what they caught, they stuffed it into their mouths.
The corners of Xu Chu and Xu Ding's mouths both shed tears of remorse, why didn't they get to know the lord earlier, otherwise, we would be stronger.
After eating a few mouthfuls of potatoes and beef to satisfy his hunger, Liu Jin picked up his wine glass.
"Come on, everyone, drink this cup to the brim, and I wish the people of my great man no more worries about hunger."
"Haha, good." Everyone laughed and drank it down.
"Good wine!" Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, and Xu Ding called out, all of them bursting with joy and joy.
Huang Xu scratched his ears and cheeks next to Huang Zhong, blushing, he also wanted to taste it, but unfortunately, he can't drink alcohol now, but the aroma of the wine is too strong.
"Everyone, just eat, drink, and have enough wine and meat." Liu Jin said with a smile.
"Thank you, my lord!" Xu Chu Xu Ding was overjoyed, thanked him quickly, and then drank a few more drinks bluntly.
"Ziqian, do you think Fengxiao would be so angry if he knew we were drinking and chatting here?" Xi Zhong said playfully, holding a wine glass.
Xun Yu and the others all laughed. For Guo Jia, an alcoholic, if he is not called for drinking, it would be strange if he is not angry.
"Oh, don't mention filial piety." Liu Jin said melancholy.
"Oh? But what happened?" Xun Yu asked curiously.
"Bong Xiao now has a keen interest in widows."
Liu Jin couldn't laugh or cry.
"Pfft! Cough cough!" Sima Hui, Li Yan, and Huang Zhong spewed out their wine and coughed uncontrollably.
Li Yan gave Liu Jin a hard look.
Liu Jin glanced at the three of them strangely, he had a deep understanding of what he had to do when he was middle-aged.
"What happened to the widow?" Xu Fu asked in a daze.
"..." Now it's Liu Jin's turn to be caught blind. With so many people present, it would be a shame for me to explain things endlessly.
"You'll know when you marry a daughter-in-law..." Liu Jin didn't want to spoil Xu Fu.
"You have to know that this woman is like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty, but Fengxiao can't be subdued." Liu Jin said with a sigh.
"With his small body, I'm afraid he will come to see me again in half a year."
