Chapter 122 The Emperor Doesn't Know

If it was a normal season, no one would plant such a crop that had never been seen before—even if Li Wenbin boasted that it was a magical crop that could yield tens of stones per mu.

It's not that these peasants have doubts about his words, it can only be said that they don't believe them at all...

Not to mention dozens of stones, even the wheat planted now yields a harvest of two stones per mu, which is enough for the imperial court to write a prayer to worship heaven and burn it in the field to thank God.

Dozens of stones per mu?Even if you kill us all, you won't believe it.

It's just that these words can only be said in the stomach. Looking at those big and three thick men and their weapons standing aside, the elderly farmers had no choice but to swallow all their words.

Anyway, this kind of thing called potatoes doesn't take up good land, and even saline-alkali soil can grow immediately, so let's look at it.

What's more, the general also said that as long as potatoes are grown, the government doesn't want them at all, and they can even be exempted from taxation and corvee.

This is very tempting to those self-cultivating farmers who own their own fields.

The big deal is to get a few acres of wasteland, bury the cut rhizomes, and water it occasionally, without taking up labor. If you can really grow something, it can be used as rations, and it can be tax deducted. Count in one fell swoop?
As for those tenants who were originally controlled by the Cui family, it was easier to handle. Cui Yan made the decision and assigned the tasks:

At least half of the arable land of each household needs to be planted with potatoes, and the main family provides seeds.

As for the cattle used for plowing the land, the tenants are allowed to use them for free - Cui Yan has set up a cooperative in each village, and some large-scale farm tools are managed by the cooperative, and applications can be made if they need to be used.

Of course, agricultural tools such as farming cattle are not completely free, and each village needs to feed them by itself, and if they get sick, they need to be diagnosed and treated.

As for the death or loss of farm cattle, compensation is also required.

In short, the ownership of the cattle still belongs to the owner, but the right to use has been relaxed a lot.

This idea was given to Cui Yan by Li Wenbin - the best way at this time is to concentrate on major tasks, and if they are dispersed as before, it will only cause inefficiency.

And not only that, Li Wenbin also specially wrote to his eldest grandson, asking her to send someone to bring over a hundred textile machines immediately.

Now the price of the loom has been continuously improved, and the cost has been reduced to the extreme. You can buy a brand new loom for only five pennies.

Even cheaper than the price of a cow.

The craftsmen who will be the supervisors almost racked their brains to reduce costs, and this is also related to the rewards offered by Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin stipulated that as long as the cost of a textile machine can be kept down to [-] yuan, he will reward each craftsman involved with ten times the bonus.

Of course, the premise is that there should be no slippage in quality. In order to keep costs down, cutting corners and materials is absolutely not allowed, and once it is discovered, it will definitely be punished.

Originally, Li Wenbin wanted [-] units, or even [-] units, but considering the transportation capacity of this era, he had no choice but to give up.

Half a month later, almost all the people in Qinghe County saw such a scene.

The convoy, which stretched for nearly two miles, went far away from the county government office. Under the command of hundreds of craftsmen, they kept busy, unloading the various parts of the car for which they didn't know what they were used for. Assemble.

In just a few hours, a strange machine with an area of ​​two feet appeared in front of everyone.

Then the onlookers saw the craftsmen carrying all these machines into the county office - they didn't figure out what they were for in the end.

Early the next morning, a notice board appeared at the gate of the county government office, which read:

Recruit 50 textile workers, requiring women between the ages of [-] and [-], and requiring good health.

After the training, they can start work. They work six hours a day, take care of two meals in the morning and evening, and receive regular money every month.

Experience preferred.

Soon, this recruitment information almost detonated Qinghe County.

The people surrounding the notice board almost crowded the place, and the whole Qinghe County was full of people discussing this matter.

Throughout the day, spectators still crowded the streets, but no one came to sign up.

Regarding this, Cui Yan looked at this side from upstairs on the opposite street and expressed concern: "My lord, I feel that this matter is still a little too hasty."

With Li Wenbin's consent, she can become the side concubine of the King of Qin after she returns to court, which allows Cui Yan to call herself a "concubine" instead of a "slave".

Li Wenbin smiled slightly: "Why do you say that?"

"Women should not show their faces easily. Even if they do, it can only be because of the pressure of life, and most of them will be accompanied by gossip."

"Now, my lord, you just issued such a notice, I'm afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among many people."

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this Jiu. Naturally, this king has considered such a situation, but he has already had a countermeasure!"

Ah Jiu is Cui Yan's nickname, so it's natural that they can be called like this given their current relationship, and it also seems to be intimate - this is what Cui Yan herself strongly requested.

When Cui Yan heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "What countermeasures, show me quickly."

Li Wenbin dipped his finger in the tea and wrote a few words on the table.

When Cui Yan saw it, her eyes popped out.

……

The next morning, the content of the bulletin board at the entrance of the county government office changed again.

There is no change in working hours, treatment, etc., except that the host family of the recruiter has become the royal family.

The No. [-] Branch Factory of Royal Textile Factory in Qinghe County recruited [-] or [-] female workers...

All of a sudden, those common people were not just watching.

What, recruiting women to work?
You only work six hours a day, and you still take care of two meals?
Not to mention the consistent money every month!

It's a pity that only 200 people are recruited. There are at least [-] women of the right age in Qinghe County. Why not recruit them together?
Forget it, don't think so much, go sign up first!

After a while, the registration office was full of people who came to register.

In less than an hour, a hundred female workers were recruited...

Also on the opposite side of the street, Cui Yan said: no matter what, as long as the word "royal" is attached to it, it will immediately be worth a hundred times.

Li Wenbin said that this is actually the brand effect. When the common people hear that this is a factory opened by the emperor, how can they deceive people?
In their opinion, even the toilet paper used by the emperor is made of gold leaf.

This made Cui Yan laugh for a long time, and asked Li Wenbin if he was worried that he would be scolded for saying this.

In this regard, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty said that it didn't matter, anyway, the emperor and queen didn't know.
