"Big officials, villains look at these big seedlings growing vigorously, presumably they can bloom before and after the sting, if they are planted in Huainan and can be harvested for a season, it is better to add an hour every day to promote their early bloom and fruit......"
Not only was Lian'er full of energy, but after last night's meal of shabu-shabu, the leaders of the craftsmen attending the meeting were also bright-eyed, no longer obedient to others, and planned to put forward suggestions that they thought were reasonable for everything that was conducive to their work.
Who let everyone do business with the horses, and everyone will have a good advantage after buying and selling. Even though the documents on the merger have not yet been seen, and the specific details of the merger are not clear, the craftsmen already think that they are dependent on the good fortune and misfortune of the horses.
"Brother Tiger thinks it's feasible?" The person who spoke was called Qin Hu, and as his name suggested, he was strong and strong, with dark skin and a neck as thick as his head. I know that he is a gardener in Qionglin Garden, but I don't know that I think it is an ancient version of Tyson.
Don't look at his long bluffing, he has a bluffing name, in fact, the honest can't be more honest, let him do whatever he wants, he can't kick a fart with three kicks. I didn't expect that driven by interests, I dared to make suggestions, it was really a man who died for money, and the birds died for food, and the ancients did not deceive!
"Ninety percent sure!" As the saying goes, a wilted man comes out of a leopard, and once an honest person is not honest, he is more scary than a natural villain.
"What do you think?" Hong Tao doesn't have much intersection with the head of the gardener of Qionglin Garden, and he still believes in the people in his house more.
"I'm not completely sure, but I can give it a try...... It's just that it needs to be sown in Huainan, and it may be difficult to ...... around the capital" Gorou also agreed with Qin Hu's statement, but he still had to emphasize the prerequisites, the solar terms are not dead, and the regions have to be fine-tuned according to the conditions.
"Then give it a try, in the future, you don't have to wait for me to make decisions in front of me for things like this, just go to the house to report, I am not there and Secretary Lian'er, so as not to miss the time."
There is no problem with planting in Huainan, let alone Huainan, Jiangnan is no problem. If it weren't for his repeated emphasis on not occupying arable land and the need for paddy fields, the emperor would have planned to expropriate the temple's fields to grow this thing.
There was a person who started and received a good response, and the craftsmen no longer held back, and expressed all the ideas in their hearts about planting flowers and trees. Hong Tao listened to them one by one, don't really say it, it can't be useful, it can be regarded as a great gain.
Especially on the issue of planting saplings, the craftsmen unanimously responded that the ash tree does not need to be so pampered, this thing is not afraid of cold, and it is very convenient to reproduce. Just use the cuttings of the sprouted and lignified shoots, not to mention no fertilizer, and the water can keep up with the survival rate is very high.
If they have enough manpower, they can turn Qionglin Garden into an ash nursery before autumn, and in another winter, Qionglin Garden will have to be renamed Ash Garden.
In the end, Hong Tao made a decision, and simply contracted Qionglinyuan to these masters, planting flowers that should be planted, planting trees that should be planted, and letting them say the number first, and the salary will be equal for each excess. As for what method to plant, there is no limit, anyway, Qionglin Yuan is such a big place, just toss it, don't tear down the house.
Through this incident, Hong Tao summed up another experience, the craftsmen of the Northern Song Dynasty were different from the Tan family of the Jinhe Empire. The Tan family is homeless and unemployed, and if they don't give money, they have to fight hard to build a foundation, otherwise they will die.
But the craftsmen are different, they are neither poor nor rich, and their minds are full of ideas of getting rich by handicraft. If you want them to give full play to their strength, it is not enough to rely on ideals and slogans, but also to bring some tangible benefits.
"Do you see it, this is the lesson, in the future, professional things must be done by professional people, not self-righteous. There are still things I don't understand when I'm so good at officials, do you think you're better than officials? ”
In addition, there is another problem that also needs to be paid attention to, it is not the first time that the craftsmen have put forward reasonable suggestions, but because they usually can't see themselves, these suggestions have been blocked by Zhu Bajin and Wulang Liulang.
It's not that the three of them deliberately deceived the subordinates, but they subjectively determined that the way to do the horse was the best, even if it seemed a little inappropriate on the surface, it was because the horse had other plans, and the people below only needed to do a good job according to the horse's instructions.
This mode of thinking is very familiar to Hong Tao, and there is a word to describe it in later generations, which is called blind worship, which is very, very harmful.
If a person has achieved great things in some way, the people at the bottom who lack knowledge will think that this person must do everything right. A little guidance by public opinion will turn people into gods, and whoever opposes, doubts, and criticizes will be wrong, enemies, and should be destroyed.
"The villain doesn't dare to ......" Although the horse's words were too shameless, Zhu Bajin, Wasp and even Lian'er all thought so, and their answers were unambiguous. Indeed, this colt seems to know everything except that he doesn't know much about the affairs of his own dynasty.
After inspecting Qionglin Garden, Hong Tao and his party came to the north bank of Jinmingchi again. At this time, it was almost the beginning of the day, and the construction site of Wujin Xing was full of smoke, and the craftsmen were queuing up to receive food.
"Isn't there any food at noon?" Seeing this, Hong Tao leaned over again, today's lunch is white rice porridge and cooking cakes, a large bowl of rice porridge per person, and two cooking cakes per person.
The amount of food, Hong Tao thinks it's not too much, but he can settle down. Due to the lack of non-staple foods, the ancients had less oil and water in their stomachs and a large amount of food. Not to mention the craftsmen who do manual work, even if Prime Minister Wang Anshi can eat the whole roast rabbit plus two big meat buns in one meal, it will not affect drinking and eating.
The Water Tiger Wing Forbidden Army next to it was even more powerful, and their soldiers were given a daily quota of 2 liters of rice or the equivalent amount of other food. I've only heard of what is not enough to eat, but I have not seen anything that cannot be eaten.
How much is a liter of rice? It is almost more than a pound in later generations, this is raw rice, and the weight is generally doubled after steaming, that is to say, each soldier has to eat 2 catties to 3 catties of rice per meal.
This is still in peacetime, and if you go to the battlefield, you have to add military rations. But there is one thing that has to be explained, most of the Song people still maintain the habit of eating two meals a day, and the same is true for the forbidden army, and it is reasonable to eat more at each meal. It's just that compared with later generations, the amount of food is still too large.
“…… Cuisine? The official only instructed the villain to add a dry meal at noon, and did not say that he would ask for dishes...... "Zhu Bajin listened to Hong Tao's words, and the cold sweat came down, could it be that he had fouled again!"
"Did I say that?" Hong Tao didn't want to play tricks, he really couldn't remember.
In fact, he is likely to be talking about rice, because in the later life, there is no division of food, and when he says that he eats, he includes dishes. But the ancients made it very clear that rice is rice and vegetables are vegetables.
"The official said that he had the food, but you must have misremembered it!" Lian'er doesn't care if Hong Tao said it or not, anyway, her own officials are right, and if there is a mistake, it must be someone else's.
“…… Come to think of it, tomorrow the villain will order to go down and add another dish at noon! Zhu Bajin saw Lian'er's firmness, and he was a little vague, if he was wrong, he was wrong, and he was still a good comrade if he knew his mistake.
"Never, never...... The villain has seen the big official, Zhu Sheshou, and Miss Lian'er...... "Before the words fell, someone suddenly interjected, and Hong Tao didn't have to look back to know who it was, Peng Dabei."
He supervised the construction of the water mill and water mill on the construction site, and the work of badminton rackets and abacus had long been handed over to ordinary craftsmen. Those objects can only be regarded as toys in the eyes of their master craftsmen, not serious work.
Peng Da saluted everyone, except for the Wasp. Because he didn't know what the wasp was calling or what it was doing, he only knew that this guy who exuded yin energy followed the pony like a shadow all day long, and basically didn't talk to anyone.
