Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 549: The South's Evil!

The fruit is not to mention golden, it is also very attractive.

After all, none of them has ever seen such a big fruit, except of course watermelon.

But the watermelon doesn't have thorns either, this thing has thorns.

"Is this fruit really delicious?" Zhao Jinnu's eyes flickered, he was very interested, sniffed it, and suddenly looked disgusted: "Why does it smell a bad smell!"

Song Huizong: "I also smell the smell, it seems to come from the tree!"

Concubine Liu Gui carefully identified it: "It's the taste of fruit."

Now people don't understand.

"Wu Aiqing, is this stinky thing the king of fruit you're talking about? Will anyone eat such a smelly fruit?"

Song Huizong couldn't help being suspicious, at least he didn't seem to like it very much.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this fruit is called durian, and it is a smelly thing, but it has high nutritional value, and this fruit has a special feature."

Zhao Jinnu pouted, "I know, it just smells bad."

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Princess, smell is one of the characteristics of this fruit, but it also has a special feature, that is, it smells smelly and tastes delicious, I have eaten it before.

Of course, people who don't like it may not be used to it, but they fall in love with this fruit, and they want to buy two no matter how expensive it is.So its market is still very good. "

Song Huizong: "Durian has never been sold in the market, how can we be sure that everyone likes it?"

Of course Wu Zhi analyzed it based on the situation in his previous life, but he couldn't say it, as long as he knew it.

With a gesture of Wu Zhi's hand, a person from the orchard next to him came over and picked one off, cut it open with a knife, and revealed the pulp in it.

"It looks good." Zhao Jinnu covered his nose and took a look, secretly thinking that this guy is ugly and smelly, but the flesh inside looks very substantial.

Zhao Jinnu was the first to pick up a piece and try it out, chewing it in his mouth.

Durian is something that some people like to eat naturally, some people like it after tasting it, and some people hate it at first, but after eating it a few times, they fall in love with the taste.

Zhao Jinnu obviously belongs to the kind of person who will like it after eating it.

Her small face was immersed in the smell of durian. At first, her expression was distorted. After chewing and swallowing a few times, she found that the taste was not bad.

After trying another one, it feels more and more delicious.

"Durian, really interesting, very good!" Zhao Jinnu suddenly said: "Master Wu, you said this food is very nutritious, so wouldn't it make you gain weight if you eat it?"

"Um, this fruit can nourish the body, if you eat too much, it will have a little effect."

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "But having said that, eating too much of any food will definitely make you fat. Durian is a fruit with high sugar content, so it's not advisable to eat too much."

"Yeah!" Zhao Jinnu still wanted to eat, but thought that he would gain weight and ruin his figure, so he stopped.

But after thinking about it, I picked up another piece and couldn't help but eat another piece.Anyway, it's her first time, so it should be fine.

Zhao Jinnu turned into a greedy cat, his mouth was covered with durian meat.

Still enjoyed it a lot.

Next Song Huizong, Concubine Liu Gui, and Li Yan also tried.

Song Huizong nodded: "It tastes good."

You know, in ancient times, there were not so many good things. Durian, a fruity fruit, is quite good in the mouth, not to mention the taste.

Therefore, Song Huizong did not reject it, and even loved it more and more.There is a lot of pulp in it.

Concubine Liu Gui doesn't really like food.

Take a bite and stop eating.

Li Yan was full of praise: "Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wu is not only capable of literary and military skills, but also such a rare thing can be grown. Where did he get it?"

Wu Zhi would not tell them that it was planted from the seeds of the system, but he would just find a reason, saying that he found the seeds in some random place.

They wouldn't check it out anyway.It's also hard to find out.

In addition to these, Wu Zhi took them to the orchard to wander around, just like modern people go to the farm to pick fruit.

Eat whatever you see, especially when a group of ancient people appeared in a modern orchard, and everyone found their favorite fruit.

She ate with relish, Concubine Liu Gui didn't have much feeling for durian, but was very interested in the melon seeds here.It's delicious to eat one by one.

There are also apples here, each tree is full of red apples, full of fruit like stars.

Everyone's eyes were dazzled, Zhao Jinnu picked the apples and washed them casually before eating them.

It feels sweet.

"Delicious, Wu Xiang, you are really good at growing so many kinds of fruits."

Zhao Jinnu was very impressed when he saw the colorful orchard.

"If it is planted and sold in a large area, it will definitely boost the economy of the Song Dynasty, let the common people all over the world plant it, and then sell it overseas, it will be even better!"

"Well, it seems that the new law will speed up the process!" Song Huizong was very excited when he thought that by implementing the new law, he could take back some of the fields in the hands of officials as his personal Huangzhuang.

After all, it is for his benefit.

Song Huizong was more concerned.

Wu Zhi showed everyone here and there, the orchard was so big that it would be impossible to reach the end if they stopped and stopped all day and all night.

It is densely planted with species.

This is because Song Huizong really couldn't walk anymore. His stomach was full and he ate a lot of papaya, watermelon, melon, and melon seeds.

He has eaten watermelon before, and he still eats a lot in this hot season.

Song Huizong, a middle-aged man, sat down on the dirt, patted his belly, smiled with a handsome and round face: "Mr. Wu, I have tasted all the fruits in the orchard today, and I really can't eat any more... "

Song Huizong didn't look like an emperor. If it weren't for the clothes he wore and the crown on his head that made him look majestic, you would never have thought that this image was an emperor.

Song Huizong didn't know whether it was because the weather was too hot or because he was too weak. The sweat dripped down his face and his clothes were soaked.

Li Yan kept fanning with a fan beside him, and said courteously, "Your Majesty, you are tired, let's go back and rest!"

"I can't move anymore, find a sedan chair!"

"Yes, yes, just wait, I'll do it right away." Li Yan asked someone to make arrangements.

In the end, several large sedan chairs sent Song Huizong, Concubine Liu Gui, and Zhao Jinnu away.

Before Zhao Jinnu left, he threw a small tomato to Wu Zhi, and there were two small swirls beside Crescent's mouth, which were sweet and cute: "Wu Xiang, the tomato is so delicious, this is a small tomato I see you off, I will come here often in the future!"

"Princess is coming, welcome anytime!"

Wu Zhi laughed.

He ate a lot himself.It was quite a pleasure to spend an afternoon here.

Looking at their backs, Wu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Zhi's move was to let Song Huizong know the value of orchard plants. As long as he wanted to make money, he would definitely support the implementation of the new law in the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is still very large. If you want to reform the Great Song Dynasty, this place is very important.

Wu Zhi hopes to build Song Dynasty into an unprecedented great country.

Now Wu Zhi's goal has been achieved.

Throw a small tomato in your mouth and go back all the way.

As soon as I went back, someone from the shadow came to report the news.

"Mr. Wu, news has come from the south recently!"

Wu Zhi: "What's the matter?"

"A group of dignitaries in the south have started to collect taxes, and they are very urgent about this."

"Well, it seems that they want to clear up the tax amount this time, and our side has almost started! Go down."

After his subordinates left, Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly in the room: "This taxation is very important. As long as there are excellent results, then the establishment of the Central Plains Administrative Department is imperative!"

At this moment.

The honorable officials in the south are also very anxious.

If they can't compare with the tax revenue under Wu Zhi's governance for two years, they have failed too much.

A large group of people cannot compare with Wu Zhi alone, and the new law will be implemented soon.

This is what they fear most.

It's like you have a lot of fields every year, occupy a lot of houses and shops, and get hundreds of thousands of income every year just sitting still, you must be in a very good mood.But under the new national policy, these will disappear.

First of all, the fertile land will be confiscated, and the occupied houses and shops will also be checked.

Waiting for them is Wu Zhi who is in charge of the Thunder Blade of the new law, and conducts strict inspections of all their areas, talking about the implementation of the new law. In fact, this matter can also be used to find out their crimes and try them.

At that time, their money will be lost, their positions will not be guaranteed, and all their glory and wealth will be gone.

This is also the reason why scholar-officials from all over the world desperately wanted to get rid of Wu Zhi.

This time, the southern tax revenue, after rough calculations, the officials headed by Mr. Wang are not satisfied, because according to their tax revenue, it is definitely not as good as that of Yanyun and Liao Kingdom.

So, to ensure good grades, they went crazy.

One by one united for their own interests and increased local taxes.

In the south, they are the earth emperor, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They have the final say on everything. As long as they hug each other about anything, even the king of heaven and I can fool them.

Don't underestimate the ability of the local officials of the Song Dynasty, they can deceive the sky and cross the sea, and they are lawless.

The southern region has already started to act, and they are extremely cruel to the people!

Soldiers from the yamen knocked on the door one by one to check the food of the people.

Faced with such a severe situation, the common people dare not lie. How much food they have in their homes will be found out, and even last year's food will be calculated and taxed.

Some old farmers told these officers and soldiers with apologetic smiles that some of the grain was from last year and had already been confiscated.

But what was waiting was the glaring eyes of the officers and soldiers: "This is clearly this year's grain, and all of them will be taxed!"

The old farmer looked flustered: "My lord, if you take all of them away, how will our family live? We have already handed in last year! Save some for us!"

"This is your own business. If you have something to talk to, we are following orders! We can't control that much. Come and take them all away!"

The officers and soldiers forcibly moved bags of grain from the old farmer's family to the carriage, regardless of the family's crying and shouting, and kicked them away if they got annoyed!

They emptied the family's food directly.

Not to mention what is stored in the warehouse, even half a cylinder of rice in the tank is dumped without a drop.

These are ordinary people who have no power and power, they don't pay attention to them at all, and they are following orders, so it's none of their business.

If things are not done well, they will be kicked out of the county government office, not to mention losing their errands, and they will suffer the same as the common people. Who can they turn to for reasoning?

These grains are money and taxes. They only need to complete the task and go home as soon as possible.

As for the grievances of these people, who can control them?In this place they have no place to sue.

It is not so easy to go to other big places, because all the above are connected.Unless you sue, but can anyone come across the official family?

This kind of thing began to happen continuously in the cities in the southern region. For a while, the people complained, but there was nothing they could do. Many people knelt on the ground in front of the government, screaming and begging for justice, but the yamen was closed and no one accepted it. .

If there are really too many people, a group of soldiers will appear around them, and they will all be beaten back on the grounds that they gathered to make trouble.
