A few days ago, Liu Yiyi once asked Gongsun Wuda for a matter. {First Reading}

It's a small thing, it can't be smaller, it can be said that as long as he opens his mouth, he can easily do it, but this makes Gongsun Wuda feel very embarrassed, very awkward, he can't open this mouth, and he doesn't know how to do it.

Therefore, Gongsun Wuda shook his hand and handed over this matter to Gongsun Qi to handle.

So, the hard-working Gongsun Qi took the silver moon order of the Gongsun General's Mansion, first the left and right guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right waiting guards, and then the left and right leading guards, the left and right tun guards, the left and right Xiao guards, and the supreme command department of the government soldiers, the sixteen guards, were run all over by Gongsun Qi.

However, this is not counted, and then he ran to the prince's East Palace six rates, the left and right guard rates, the prince's left and right Siyu rate, and the prince's left and right clearing rate, anyway, inside and outside this Chang'an City, almost all the garrison places let him run all over.

The purpose is just for that little request of Liu Ichichi.

Collect night incense, long-term, massively, steadily, collect night incense.

These indecent, or filthy words, even if Gongsun Wuda is a martial artist, he also feels a little embarrassed.

Gongsun Qi was even more cheeky, running over and over again, and saying over and over again that this was also the worst trip he had done for so many years, the smoothest one, and the one that made him feel the most humiliating.

But there is no way, there is a fate, how dare you resign, Gongsun Qi still has to endure the strange eyes of others, and say his words sentence by sentence.

It's also thanks to Young Master Liu Yiyi who came up with it and collected manure from the army, well. Wrong. It's Nightshade, what's the use of him collecting these things?

After saying it so many times, Gongsun Qi felt his mouth. It's about to change its taste, and there will be some resentment in my heart.

"Ah Qi, how are things going? Is that thing already there? Gongsun Wuda picked up the tea bowl, remembered something, and put it down with a frown. asked Gongsun Qi in a low voice.

"Back to the old man, the commanders of the various armies are very cooperative, let's do this, it can be regarded as giving them some convenience, and it also saves them a lot of trouble, starting tomorrow, you can send someone to the barracks to pull that, what." Gongsun bowed. Ba slammed his mouth twice, but he didn't say those two words after all.

"Well, that's fine, thank you." Gongsun Wuda nodded as if relieved.

"That. "Gongsun Qi arched his hand. Qingxiang Gongsun Wuda asked: "Xiaodi has been running all day, and I have been thinking about it all day, but I really can't figure it out, what is Young Master Liu doing collecting these things?" Can they still do anything? ”

"Hehe," Gongsun Wuda looked at Gongsun Qi and smiled, "As soon as I heard this, the old man knew that Ah Qi should have never cultivated the field." Don't you know that there is such a thing as ploughing and farming, and there is also fertilizer? These things that a virtuous nephew wants to collect may be dirty and filthy in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of those croppers, they are all good fertilizers, and with these things, planting crops is twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Well, if that's the case, why don't you see anyone else collecting it?" Gongsun Qi is very puzzled, he has lived for more than 40 years, except for those Ye Xianglang, but he has never heard of someone who will come to collect feces?

"This," Gongsun Wuda nodded his head and said, "This is probably the difference of a virtuous nephew." ”

There are many people who know that they need to fertilize their crops, and there are not a few people who want to collect manure. However, he is the only person who can collect manure in the major military camps with great fanfare like Liu Yiyi.

It's not that other people don't have this ability, but they can't afford to lose that person.

Even they are a family of martial artists, they are all discolored, ashamed to export, not to mention those elegant people who come from scholarly disciples?

"That's right." Although Gongsun Wuda did not say the reason, Gongsun Qi also thought about it thoroughly.

Knowing that it can be done, but disdainful of doing it, this is a common problem for many people.

It is really rare to be a man who can be as open-minded as Young Master Liu, and Gongsun Qi began to admire Liu Yiyi in his heart again.

"Tomorrow, you will be responsible for arranging the manpower, preparing more large wooden barrels, and when you are done, you will start transporting them to Sanyuan. After having the first time, there is no need to be so troublesome in the future, and they can go on their own. Gongsun Wuda waved at Gongsun Qi and said, "Okay, you're tired for a day, go down and rest." ”

"Yes, sir, the villain will retire first." Gongsun Qi saluted Gongsun Wuda, and then bent down and retreated.

"Whew!" Gongsun Wuda shook his head lightly, let out a sigh, and picked up the one on the table

Took a sip.

This Liu Yi will really make trouble for him, today's matter, although it is in the name of Liu Yi, he, the general, did not come forward in person, but in the end, it is also by relying on the power of his Gongsun family that it can be so easily promoted, and Gongsun Qi is the housekeeper, and many people know him, and he will inevitably be laughed at by those old things in the future.

He is a dignified general of the Left Prison Gate, but he went to collect night incense, which is really a shame.

In Gongsun Wuda's heart, a shadow appeared like nothing.

"What do you say? Gongsun Wudan, that old boy, is ordering someone to collect the night incense of the garrisons of various departments? Li Shimin put down the books in his hand, looked at Su Bingren who came to report to him with a smile, and said, "How could he suddenly think of collecting these things?" And it also attracted Su Qing's attention? ”

—

Night incense, filthy things, insignificant, since Gongsun Wuda wants to collect it, it would be better for him to go. Li Shimin felt that Su Bingren seemed to be making a fuss.

"Your Majesty," Su Bingren arched his hand and said, "Weichen heard that this was done by General Gongsun a few days ago. The night incense collected by General Gongsun from the garrisons of various departments in Chang'an will all be escorted to Gutian Village in Sanyuan on the same day and handed over to the tenant farmers of Liu Yiyi's family. ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Li Shimin's interest was aroused, and anything, as soon as he met Liu Yiyi, would become unusual. Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Su Bingren: "Then Su Qing knows why this willow collects these night incense?" ”

"Your Majesty," Su Bingren got up and explained to Li Shimin: "As early as the Yin Shang period, there was a saying that dung was used as fertilizer, and the cathartic things of people and animals could be used as fertilizer. And the crops grown by them, tall, robust, easier to survive and high yield, in the folk, there has always been a 'fertilizer for the farmer's treasure' said, Liu Yi wants to collect night incense, except for storage and fertilization, there is no other use. ”

"Farming and fertilizing, this is nothing, how can Su Qing attach so much importance to it?" Although he has always advocated 'agriculture as the foundation of the country', Li Shimin does not know much about this kind of land, and he is far less aware than Su Bingren, the chief secretary of agriculture.

"Your Majesty, farming and fertilizing, this is nothing, it's very ordinary, it's like having vegetables for dinner, no one will think there's anything wrong with that."

"However, if this kind of land is not fertilized, then the problem is serious, Your Majesty." Su Bingren bowed down and said: "Now in my Datang territory, people from all over the country plough the fields and cultivate the land, and the things used for fertilization are mostly human and animal dung, silkworm dung, weeds, grass and wood ashes, beans, river mud, bone juice, etc., human and animal manure and urine, mostly based on their own homes, and the amount is scarce, silkworm dung and weeds, river mud and other things are also very few, which is not enough for daily farming. ”

"Yes," Su Bingren glanced at Li Shimin, and then said: "The land in all counties is getting poorer and poorer, and the average yield per mu in many places is even less than ten catties. ”

Su Bingren's words may be a bit exaggerated, but they are by no means empty, and the yield of crops without fertilizer is indeed pitifully lower than that of those who have been fertilized, but the fertility of the land is the same.

As the Grand Secretary of the Tang Dynasty, Su Bingren felt that he needed to take this opportunity to explain this situation to the emperor and try to change the situation.

The last time I participated in Liu Yiyi's wedding, I had some more contact with Liu Yiyi, and more or less, this old man Su also found some inspiration from Liu Yiyi.

"Then in Su Qing's opinion, what should I do?" Li Shimin opened his mouth to ask Su Bingren.

This is the advantage of Li Shimin, Li Shimin may not be an all-round monarch, but there is no doubt that he must be the best at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, just like the big boss of a company, he does not necessarily have to be proficient in everything, everything must be done personally, as long as he can do it, know people and apply it, and hand over professional things to more professional people to do, it is enough.

In terms of agriculture, Old Man Su is undoubtedly the most professional.

"Support Liu Yiyi, and quietly pass on the news that Liu Yiyi is collecting night incense on a large scale, and it must be known to the whole country." Su Bingren replied: "Not only that, but he also has to charge a certain fee for the night incense collected by Liu Yiyi, at the price of one penny per barrel, thinking that for the sake of the crops in his field, Liu Yiyi will definitely not refuse." ”

Of course he won't refuse, this is the method that Yanagichichi taught him last time in Gutian Village.

And the condition is that the money for collecting night incense will be paid by him Su Bingren, and for this reason, Su Bingren has complained about Liu Yiyi behind his back
