Chapter 222: Credit

Raw sweet potatoes are edible.

Crisp on the palate with a sweet taste.

Click, click, click, since it has been imported, Zhang Mao chewed it carefully, and the taste was not bad.

But when you eat it, it feels like a fruit?

If you can grow thirty stones of fruit in one acre of land, it is also good.

The only bad thing is that it doesn't seem to be a staple food.

Just for now

Thirty stones, Zhang Mao thought of this number, and his heart jumped wildly, and Fang Cai's anger was thrown out of the clouds in a blink of an eye.

Fang Jifan seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Shibo, the most interesting thing about this sweet potato is that it can not only be eaten raw, but also cooked, if it is mixed with rice porridge, it can quench hunger." ”

Can you quench your hunger?

Zhang Mao is a direct and rough person, and when he heard it, his eyes lit up.

In this case, isn't it possible to use it as a supplementary food?

If this is the case, this sweet potato with a yield of 30 stones per mu means that Zhang Mao is confused.

Although he is a military general, how can he not know the importance of food? Food is the root of life, it is a life-saving elixir, and in this era, the consequences of any slight famine are incomparably huge.

Of course, Fang Jifan also knows better than Zhang Mao what food means in this era of low productivity. Later generations of people are the most praised and respected, and known as the richest Song Dynasty in history, in its Song history, there are still countless records of 'hunger, cannibalism'.

And in Daming, with the arrival of the Xiaoice River period, a large number of natural disasters began to appear, not to mention.

The bitter cold of this sweet potato is not a complete replacement for the staple food, this thing is also eaten all year round, in fact, it is no different from eating yellow rice, its importance lies in the fact that once it encounters a famine, it can make people live, even in a good year, it is completely enough to replace a part of the staple food with this sweet potato.

With the current land and population of the Ming Dynasty, with this, the problem of hunger can be completely solved, not to mention that he still has potatoes in his hands? Potatoes are the real artifact, because they can completely replace staple foods.

In the case of not solving the hunger, Fang Jifan's historical knowledge is actually completely useless, what completely breaks the structure of Shinong industry and commerce, it is simply a joke, in fact, this idea of valuing agriculture and light business, many people think that it is related to Confucianism, Fang Jifan studied a lot of Ming history, but he did not see it that way.

Because this involves the relationship between chickens and eggs, eggs and chickens, in the era of Confucius, Confucianism did not deliberately discriminate against businessmen, and basically belonged to the same treatment, but later, why did it start to light commerce and heavy agriculture?

In fact, it is nothing more than the light business ideas formulated by the Confucian scholars who later became the dominant family according to the needs of the rulers.

In essence, it is nothing more than that once commerce rises, a large number of people are bound to engage in business, countless people work for businessmen, and the country's most elite labor force is called by businessmen, so it is bound to hurt the peasants, and with the continuous increase of population, the land carried has not yet increased, and if you want to feed more people, you must require a large number of people to intensively cultivate the land, otherwise a famine will come, and it will be a beacon fire.

In fact, this era is like this, even in medieval Europe, it was not much better, under the situation of low agricultural production, the size of their cities was also small and pitiful, until potatoes and sweet potatoes were introduced to Europe, a large number of labor was freed from the farmland and poured into the cities, so that later, in the case of the food problem was solved, the nobles simply converted the agricultural land into pasture in order to develop industry and commerce and obtain higher profits, and raised sheep to obtain leap wool and weave.

Imagine if there were no potatoes and sweet potatoes that led to a huge increase in food production, and the problem of hunger would have been solved, what idiot would have turned this great farmland into a sheepfold?

Every doctrine has its basis in reality, and it is absolutely impossible for someone to pat his head and suddenly think of it, and as a result, the whole world willingly accepts it.

Therefore, if we do not solve the problem of the people's dependence on food, the problem of agriculture, industry and commerce will never be solved.

Of course, Zhang Mao couldn't have thought so far-reaching as Fang Jifan, but Fang Jifan's words had already made him have to believe it, after practicing it himself, he didn't understand anything else, only understood that this thing was edible, it could also quench hunger, and it was also highly productive.

At this time, he stared at Fang Jifan, panting heavily, as if he still felt that Fang Jifan's credit value was not high, so he turned his neck, glared at Zhang Xin on the side murderously, and spit out two words: "Is it?" ”

Ask anything else, maybe Zhang Xin doesn't have much self-confidence, but once he asks about farming, Zhang Xin has calmed down even in the face of his father, and he said firmly: "Yes, this sweet potato porridge, my son has eaten it, it tastes good, and it can indeed quench hunger." ”

β€œβ€

At this moment, Zhang Mao was silent.

The son has not been very obedient lately, but he is still credible, at least much more credible than the apricot who doesn't know what his face is.

Zhang Mao is usually a talkative person, but now, he has not spoken again.

He stood stunned, unmoving.

Fang Jifan was frightened, nothing would happen, don't make a good mistake, so he hurriedly shouted: "Shibo, Shibo"

Zhang Mao is like a sculpture, still motionless.

Fang Jifan stretched out a finger in surprise and tried to put it under Zhang Mao's nose.

And gas.

Zhang Mao's eyes rolled at this time, and then, the big hand like a fan slapped Fang Jifan's shoulder fiercely.

Fang Jifan's body trembled, and he turned around and wanted to run, but Zhang Mao grabbed his shoulders with his hand!

At this moment, Zhang Mao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha nephew, what did my old Zhang say earlier, I knew that you had a chance, amazing, young Yingjie, I Zhang Mao has never seen the wrong person in my life, don't you know, when you were still in infancy, I saw you, what did you say to your father in the first sentence?" DID YOU KNOW? ”

Fang Jifan's heart was hairy, and he only knew how to drag.

Zhang Mao laughed and said: "I said that I saw that there is a faint colorful light on you, this is a noble appearance, and your old Fang family will have to rely on you in the future." ”

Fang Jifan was terrified, and said like a rattle: "Don't dare, don't dare, colorful light, colorful words, usurpation, too usurpation." ”

The colorful color is too advanced, in this era, there are only seven colors, and the colorful light is only emitted by the emperor.

So Fang Jifan said very firmly: "It's still colorful, if it's colorful, let go of your heart." ”

Zhang Mao couldn't wait to pat his thigh: "Yes, that's colorful, it's really amazing, do you know how many people you have to save?"

Fang Jifan said with a frightened face: "I don't have too many colors. ”

Zhang Mao laughed: "Don't worry about this, in short, your credit this time is not small, there are countless living people, go, the old man will give you credit." ”

"Wait!" Fang Jifan said: "Actually, this time the credit is not small, it is Deputy Zhang Baihu. ”

When Zhang Mao heard this, he was stunned.

He knows his son's urine sex, and he is honest, but can he toss such a thing?

He looked at Zhang Xin suspiciously, but Zhang Xin looked helpless.

Fang Jifan said very seriously: "If it weren't for the deputy hundred households, taking care of the sweet potatoes every day with the tuntian, unloading something that shouldn't be said, wanting to produce thirty stones per mu, I am afraid that it will be delayed for several years before it can be planted. ”

There is one thing to say, at this point, Fang Jifan is still very kind, after all, he just pointed out the direction and provided seedlings, but the rest, it is ashamed to say, he really has no achievements.

Zhang Mao's body was already shocked, and he looked at Zhang Xin in disbelief.

In the past, looking at Zhang Xin's ragged appearance, how did he look at it, but now, Zhang Mao was completely shocked that B is a great achievement

His own son also has a big credit!

Zhang Mao's eyes lit up very really, and he even suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist, damn, my son can also grow such a credit for farming, and in an instant, tears collapsed

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and slapped his old face fiercely: "Xin'er, Dad is really blind, blind."

The first time Zhang Xin saw his father like this, he was usually either scolded or beaten violently, but now he is a little unaccustomed to it.

Zhang Mao immediately laughed wildly: "Okay, what did I say at the beginning?"

Zhang Mao immediately turned around,

"Don't mention the beginning!" Fang Jifan couldn't help crying, besides, my Jifan was about to cut the white snake, and when he came out of his mother's womb, there was a dragon hovering in the sky, please Shibo, give me a way to live, I'm still a child: "Good news, good news is important." ”

"Wait." Wiping away his tears, Zhang Mao sighed, he pulled Fang Jifan aside and looked at Fang Jifan deeply.

Zhang Mao pondered in his heart, this is Fang Xian's nephew deliberately wanting to give his son a share of the credit, hey, how did you say it at the beginning, this Jifan himself saw it for the first time, he is a person with a conscience, but since you have a conscience, old man

He squinted, then lowered his voice and said, "Thirty stones, less, it's not one or two stones anyway, isn't it?" Good news, you have to pick up a good sound, a few more stones, it is good, this Your Majesty is even more happy, and you can't take care of it, even if you want to verify, a few more stones, who is more accountant? It's better to have a whole thing, listen to the old man, the virtuous nephew, and report thirty-six and a half stones. ”

Fang Jifan was in his heart, uh, I have already made a false report, originally twenty-six stones, but it was born to thirty stones, and if you add it to the top, something will happen!
