Chapter 65 Well-off

The biggest reason why Datang emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and took agriculture and mulberry as the country's foundation, was that the grain output in this era was too low, and the ability to resist natural disasters was weak.

Nongsang is the national policy that the dynasty has unswervingly implemented, there is no carriage to walk, no silk and linen, but if there is no food, it can only be hungry.

Merchants have always been resentful, not producing, but can make a lot of profits, and even hoarding and raising prices, which has always been disliked by the rulers.

However, the sale of quyuan ploughs and columbs in Mojia Village makes people unable to find any fault, because this kind of commercial behavior not only does not damage the foundation of agriculture in the slightest, but also can effectively promote the development of agriculture.

"This kid?"

Qin Qiong's face was kind, and Merton did not disappoint him.

It turned out that when Modon borrowed his hand to write to Li Shimin, asking Mojia Village to do business and not become a lowly citizen, Qin Qiong was still worried that this child had taken the wrong path, and now it seems that this decision is very correct.

A satisfied expression appeared on Li Shimin's face, and Merton, a little catfish, tossed a lot of good things, and surprised him again and again.

Even Li Chengqian has a proud look, as a friend, seeing Merton doing such a thing, he can't help but feel a sense of honor and disgrace.

"This stupid boy has made a good friend!" Wei Chi Jingde looked at Merton beside his son with satisfaction, his own son knew that he usually looked like a wooden man, and he would definitely suffer a loss when he was with those fine and oily gentlemen in Chang'an City, but with Merton, that made him feel at ease.

"Three hundred is not expensive!"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but calculate, that is, the average price of old-style pears is about 400 yuan, and the Quyuan plow is more advanced, saving manpower and material resources, and it can also be cultivated carefully. Not to mention that with another 300 wen, you can buy a cocoon car that sows 600 acres a day.

After Merton announced that all Quyuan plough cars produced by Mojia Village were under a three-year warranty, it was even more exciting.

Everyone in the ink technology exhibition is excited, and Kong Yingda and a group of doctoral assistants in the Guozi Prison next to him are all there, and they will pay close attention to the progress of the ink technology exhibition.

After all, the Mo family is one of the hundred schools of thought for thousands of years, and as a holy place of Confucianism, they certainly have to pay close attention.

"Humph! Could it be that the Mo family has been reduced to juggling for a living? When Liu Yinian heard the messenger say that Mo Jiazi used a pulley to pull up a thousand catties of giant ding, he couldn't help but feel contempt.

The other doctors also laughed, it turned out that the Mo family had fallen to this, and they were still waiting for it?

"Report!" Then a messenger came running!

"Lord Qiqi sacrificial wine, Mo Jiazi shows a new style of ploughing pears and cocoon carts!"

When the messenger explained the advanced points of the quyuan plough and the new cocoon in detail, everyone could not help but be shocked.

As Confucians, they certainly know the importance of agriculture and mulberry, and they also know the importance of these new agricultural tools.

"I didn't expect the Mo family to really make up something amazing!" Shen Hongcai, a doctor of arithmetic, said with a long sigh.

"Could it be that Mo Jiazi is cheating!" Liu Yinian did not believe it.

"Impossible?" Kong Yingda shook his head and said, "Su Lingnon, that old stubborn, but his eyes can't be mixed with sand, if he didn't verify it personally, he wouldn't have been able to come out to testify." ”

Everyone in the Guozijian was silent, and they didn't believe that the little catfish that usually jumped up and down under their hands could have such an amazing act.

Ink art exhibition.

"I believe that everyone is now calculating how much more fields can be cleared and how much grain production can be increased this year!" Merton said with a smile.

Everyone in the audience was moved by what was said, and couldn't help but snicker.

"But are you satisfied?" Merton suddenly said in a loud voice.

Everyone was stunned, what should they do if they were not satisfied, and they knew how difficult it was to be able to feed the whole family.

"I said before that if the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty is coming, if everyone can only eat enough, how can it be regarded as a prosperous era?" Merton shook his head.

"Uh-uh!" Everyone was stunned, this is not a prosperous age, so how can it be counted?

Li Shimin also looked at Merton in amazement, turned his head to Master Yu and asked, "Mojia Village has bought so much grain, and it is not satisfied. ”

Master Yu was not surprised at all Li Shimin knew the grain stock in Mojia Village, nodded and said: "Mojia Village now has enough stock for the whole village to eat for a year, but our young master said that this is the solution to food and clothing, and it is still far from being well-off!" ”

"Well-off?" Cheng Yanjin listened to this new word suspiciously.

Li Chengqian explained aloud: "Back to Lu Guogong's words, the word well-off has long been there, and there is a cloud in the "Daya Minlao" on the "Book of Songs": "The people also stop working, and they can be well-off"

At the same time, it is also recorded in the "Book of Rites and Rites": "Today's avenue is hidden, and the world is home." Each one has his own relatives, each has his own son, and the goods are his own. The adult world and (aristocratic hereditary) take it as a gift, and the city ditch and pond think it is solid. Etiquette and righteousness are disciplined, righteous monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, brothers, husbands and wives, systems are set up, and fields are established...... It is said to be well-off. “

Li Chengqian explained the origin of the word well-off to everyone, smiled and said: "Brother Mo said well-off, probably referring to this kind of stable and prosperous life!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is highly talented!" Master Yu said respectfully.

"Oh! It was originally mentioned in the hadith, and it seems that I was quite right to throw this little catfish into the country's prison. Li Shimin had to smile and say.

Cheng Biting Jin can't help but show his big teeth! Haha laughed, they knew all kinds of deeds of the Mo family in the country.

"The old man knows what a well-off is!" Su Lingnong directly interrupted Morton to promote his concept of being well-off, and said, "Then how do you say that you can achieve the well-off in your mouth."

Everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

Merton smiled awkwardly: "The kid thinks that the minimum standard for achieving a well-off life is that everyone can eat meat every day!" ”

"Eat the meat!"

The audience was in an uproar.

You must know that it is now a rich family, and it is not every day that you eat meat, everyone is usually lucky enough to eat meat during the New Year's holidays, and it is rare to see a little oily smell at ordinary times.

Eating a beautiful meal of meat is something that everyone can hope for, let alone eat meat every day.

In this era, cattle and horses are all strategic locations, and if you eat them, you will go to jail, and the pork is fishy, and most of the people who can usually eat it are not much, which causes the price of meat to be high, otherwise how could Mojia Village use the secret technique of live fish to create so much wealth in just a few months.

"How dare this kid say it?" Cheng Yanjin said in surprise, of course he knew how precious it was to be able to eat meat.

"Mojia Village is already so rich?" Li Shimin looked at Master Yu unkindly. If Mojia Village is already so wealthy and still requires business, then it will be a crime of defrauding the king.

"Your Majesty, Mojia Village has just been lifted out of poverty for more than two months!" Master Yu was busy.

"Then what confidence does the Mo family have to say so! Do you want everyone in the world to eat fish! Li Shimin said with a little dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, even if the method of artificial fish farming is fully promoted in Datang, it is a drop in the bucket.

"The grass people are not only responsible for the secret technique of live fish, and artificial fish farming, and nothing else, but according to the internal rumors of Mojia Village, the young master has provided a new secret technique, which has been successfully tested, and everyone in Mojia Village is expected to be able to eat meat by the end of the year." Master Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Although he didn't know what the young master's confidence was, according to the words of others, he also knew that the experiment in Mojia Village had been successful, and now he had to grit his teeth and hold on, everything depended on the young master, and the young master never let them down.

"Maybe everyone thinks it's impossible, but the wonder of ink technology lies in this, pioneering and innovating, making the impossible possible!" Merton yelled.

Merton stretched out his hand, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Mo Wei Chi Baolin, each carrying a cage more than one person tall with a sturdy black cloth.

The three cages were placed in the center of the high platform, and everyone was staring at the three cages, could this be the secret technique that Mojia Village said could make everyone eat meat every day.

With a wave of his hand, the black cloth of the three cages slowly fell, revealing the dense stuff inside.

"This can't be?"

Su Linong stood up abruptly and exclaimed.

"This can't be?"

Li Shimin rushed to the window again, his face full of shock.

The faces of everyone in the audience were incredible.

This group of fluffy things is the cubs of chickens, ducks and geese, each cage is divided into more than ten layers, each layer is stuffed with dense cubs, and three familiar calls fill the audience.

"How did he do it?" Everyone exclaimed.

You must know that hens hatch chicks are after autumn, but now it has just passed the first month, it is the time when the weather is cold, the hen is not willing to hatch chicks at all, and even the hen is willing to hatch chicks This weather can not hatch.

"This is the magic of ink techniques, making the impossible possible?" Merton said with a grin.

"How did you do it, the hen can't hatch chicks at all at this time." Su Lingnon's face was full of shock, and he once again came to the stage to verify the full three cages of cubs.

Soon he gave up, because there were three kinds of chickens, ducks and geese, and it was possible that these three kinds of poultry had changed their nature at the same time, and they could hatch their young in winter.

"Could it be that the chickens, ducks and geese in your Mojia Village are different and talented!" Cheng Yanjin looked at the chickens, ducks and goose cubs in the three cages like a monster, and asked Master Yu.

"Back to Lu Guogong's words! As far as the old man knows, the chickens, ducks and geese in Mojia Village are not hatching cubs in winter. Master Yu replied with a wry smile.

"What's going on? Could it be that people hatch out and put it in the bed every day to keep it warm? Wei Chi Jingde had a rare humor, and said with a laugh.

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh! Suddenly, seeing Master Yu's solemn expression, he was suddenly stunned and asked incredulously.

"Is it really human incubation?"

"Of course it's not people who put it in the bed to warm it!" Merton answered Li Shimin's question on the high platform for Master Yu.

"It's that Mojia Village has mastered artificial incubation technology." As soon as the words fell, all sides were shocked.
