I have a backstage in Datang

Suddenly two generals rushed to the seat of the female relatives, they were the heads of the Liu family and the Xue family, as if they were catching chickens, they each picked up their sons and daughters, and then they didn't care whether the children agreed or not, they were not stunned. He pressed it in front of Gu Tianya, and shouted at the same time: "Kowtow, hurry up and kowtow to your master."

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya waved his hand violently, and said: "No need to kowtow, I am not accepting apprentices, I just want to accept two students for a while, if you feel that you are not taken seriously, you can reject my idea..."

The two generals looked at each other, and quickly said: "We are already very pleasantly surprised to be a student of the Gu family. You still have to kowtow, this is the etiquette that children should abide by."

Gu Tianya nodded, and did not refuse this time.

……

A small episode ended in a blink of an eye, but Gu Tianya suddenly spoke again, and said with a smile: "The bowl of loofah soup just now is actually a little joke, the purpose is to enliven the atmosphere, and at the same time, I want to ridicule certain things What makes me happy is that our women in Tang Dynasty are very virtuous, know how difficult it is to run a family, and know that making money is not easy. The remarks of these two ladies just now let me see the virtues of women in Datang. With such a family education, children I will be successful... I will not mention the auction of the loofah soup, I am glad that I have accepted two students with good tutors."

He paused while talking, then suddenly opened another topic and said: "Everyone has come from thousands of miles to baptize my baby. This is the kindness of the whole family and should be repaid with courtesy. I'm afraid I can't get it out. Fortunately, my ancestors used to be Momen and passed down some artifacts. I discussed with Zhaoning for a long time, and I felt that I shouldn't cherish it with a broom, so I took this opportunity to share it with everyone. Of course, you You have to pay for it!"

"It's finally starting!"

The hundreds of people present suddenly felt their breathing became heavy.

Gu Tianya didn't procrastinate, he turned around abruptly and walked towards Tan Xiao. He signaled Tan Xiao to step aside and let him act as the auctioneer himself. Then, he slowly picked up something from the table.

Hundreds of gazes filled the audience, staring straight at his palm in an instant.

Changsun Wuji was the first to blurt out, saying with surprise, "This is a sweet potato, we've seen it before."

Gu Tianya laughed, nodded and said: "Brother Changsun is right, this thing is called sweet potato, it is a grain seed that my family has just cultivated, and one mu of land can produce at least a dozen stones. I know everyone I was looking forward to this, so I took it out and shared it first, but..."

He paused slightly while talking, his eyes flickered for a long time, and he said calmly: "But, I don't want to charge money for selling this thing."

Everyone was startled!

Sell ​​things for free?So what do you want to charge?

But Gu Tianya exhaled slowly, and suddenly said word by word: "What I want to accept is a promise."

He suddenly raised the sweet potato, and said in a deep voice: "The first thing, sweet potato seed, is now starting to bid, and the bid is based on the promise. The reserve price is to increase the population by 2 in three years. Remember, in this process Under the rule of your family, no one can starve to death."

……

...still two in one.In addition, someone asked me when to make up the debts. Shanshui is working hard to save up, and plans to explode more than ten chapters one day, starting with tens of thousands of words, and pay off all the debts at once, so for the time being, it will be updated according to normal for the next few days. Add more, hope to understand.

I've got a high fever again, and I'm asking for another day off

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

Don't go yet, I'll be back tomorrow

Oh, it’s been half a month. Pneumonia, but it’s not the kind you think. It’s common pneumonia caused by a cold. I was delayed in the village clinic on water. I stayed in the hospital for four days this time, and I’ll be back tomorrow!Thank you to the old readers who called to ask, I am really touched, Shanshui will go home tomorrow afternoon!

Chapter 193 [Farming Development, the Future of Star Destroyer]

I have a background in Datang

"So the goal you want to achieve must be great..."

"However, why is population development the requirement? He is just a relative of the state, and this matter is supposed to be something that the court should do. But now, he has made this request instead of the court."

"Isn't it an overreach?"

……

In the entire courtyard of the post station, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

The reason is very simple, Gu Tianya's request is really confusing.Since ancient times, there has been a saying that people do not destroy themselves for their own sake. Although the original intention of this statement was not selfishness, but to say that if a person does not cultivate himself, it is easy to be tolerated by the world. However, with the misinterpretation of the people, this statement has been linked to self-interest together.

In the perception of the world, I will receive something in return for what I give. This is only right and proper, and this is human nature.

However, what Gu Tianya is doing now is completely opposite.

He took out the sweet potato. Everyone knew the importance of this item. At first, everyone had made sufficient preparations, thinking that it would take a lot of money to harvest this item, but unexpectedly, there was no need to pay for it.

Is it only necessary to develop the population?

After a long time, someone finally couldn't help but asked hesitantly, "What is the meaning of Mr. Gu's move?"

Don't ask, it's too outrageous.You sell things, but in the end you don’t want everyone to spend money, but you want to develop the population. This is obviously what the court should do.You are just a foreign relative, wouldn't you do what the royal family should do by doing this?

You must know that the relatives are not royal after all, and doing so is purely stupid and harms oneself and benefits others.

Gu Tianya glanced at the person who asked the question, but he didn't mean to explain. He just held up the sweet potato again and said with a smile: "I only need a promise to bid for this item. The low price will increase by 2% within three years." With a population of [-], anyone who dares to make this promise can get this item..."

He paused for a while, and then said: "But I want to explain in advance that I don't have many sweet potatoes and grains in my hand. It has been said since ancient times: Parents who starve to death don't eat grains. Those with scarce grains Time will definitely not be able to satisfy everyone, so whoever gets this item first will get the opportunity. However, the opportunity for farming is calculated in years. If you can’t get the grain this year, you have to wait for the next year if you want to plant it. , although this is only a one-year gap, it may be able to open up tens of thousands of acres of harvest in one year, and everyone present here is smart, so I don't need to elaborate on this gap."

There is really no need to elaborate, everyone knows how big the gap is.

Especially for a new grain crop, it cannot be planted on a large scale in the first year, and it must be bred first before it can be popularized.

Someone slowly stood up and asked tentatively, "But I wonder how many grains Mr. Gu owns now?"

Gu Tianya glanced at him, and said without hesitation: "The current grain seeds can only guarantee one thousand acres, and I plan to divide these grain seeds into 50 shares for sale, that is to say, each share can only grow 20 acres."

"There are so few?"

Everyone blurted out subconsciously.

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, and said, "It's quite a lot. After all, this thing is very productive. You only need to breed it well in the first year, and it will explode explosively in the second year..."

He paused while talking, looked at Li Shimin who was sitting beside him, and said with a smile: "Let me make an analogy, for example, Shimin's second brother bought a seed, he took the seed home this year to store, next summer It can be taken out and planted. The edible part of the sweet potato is the tuber, but the seedlings are used for planting. The seeds I sell now are about 30 catties each. These 30 catties of sweet potatoes must first be planted in the ground to grow long If you cut off the seedlings, you can get about [-] seedlings, and these [-] seedlings are the seeds of [-] acres of land."

He is no longer introducing the seeds, but telling the whole planting process in detail.

Everyone present tried their best to memorize, for fear of missing any details, some even took out a pen and paper and began to record.

Gu Tianya laughed and said: "Don't remember, it's too troublesome. I have already made [-] booklets in advance, which describe the planting process of sweet potatoes in detail. As long as everyone can get a piece of sweet potato seeds, then this booklet will A copy will be given along with the seeds. I call this a follow-up service, and I will have follow-up service when I sell things at home in the future.”

"Could it be the secret recipe for planting?" Someone's eyes lit up.

Gu Tianya was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's sort of."

He looked at Li Shimin again as he spoke, and said again: "I haven't finished the analogy just now, please allow me to continue to explain to you. For example, my second brother bought a seed, which can plant 50 acres of land, but The yield of sweet potatoes is extremely high, and one mu of land can be harvested at least fifteen shi. How much is 700 mu? At least 1 shi, one shi is a hundred catties, and 700 shi is 7 jin. These 7 jin can all be turned into seeds... Do you know how many acres it can plant? At least 2000 acres can be planted!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped.

In the first year, 30 catties of seeds can only be planted on 50 mu of land.

But in the second year, the growth exploded directly, and the 7 catties of sweet potatoes harvested could be planted on 2000 mu.

What about the third year?

Gu Tianya spoke seductively, and said quietly: "In the third year, at least 2000 shi of sweet potatoes can be harvested from 3 mu of land. Hehe, 3 shi does not sound like much, but if it is converted into two catties, it will be scary. , how much is it? It's 300 million catties..."

hiss!

There was another sound of gasping for air.

300 million catties of grain?

It only needs 2000 mu of land to harvest.

What about five thousand acres?

What if it is [-] mu?

All present were officials from the Tang Dynasty, and most of them were from the Tiance Mansion. Not long ago, in the Xuanwumen incident, each family had a large amount of rewards and harvests. Even the weakest family had tens of thousands of acres of land. Award.If all of them were planted with sweet potatoes, how rich would they be three years later...

We must know that in ancient times, food represented the greatest wealth.

However, Gu Tianya didn't seem to feel that it was shocking enough, and he said with a deep meaning: "Although the yield of sweet potatoes is large, its growth process is not long. It is planted in May every year and can be harvested in September. Everyone knows that this means What? This means that the planting of sweet potatoes does not delay the planting of wheat at all."

"My God..." A noble lady subconsciously said, "Isn't this one land and two harvests?"

Gu Tianya nodded slowly, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's exactly one land and two harvests!"

This benefit is greater than the sky!

……

Li Shimin stood up slowly, and said with a solemn expression: "Although Gu doesn't need to farm to make a fortune, the children of Gu need to eat and drink, so Gu wants to get some of this sweet potato seed for the children."

He paused while talking, looked at Gu Tianya, and said in a deep voice: "You want to promise, right? Gu can promise you."

Gu Tianya also looked at Li Shimin, and said with a smile, "The starting price for a grain seed is 2 people."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Shimin, and said, "But the second brother remembers that the population increased by 2 in three years. It's not that people were recruited from other places to make up the number, but a real increase of [-] people."

Li Shimin slowly raised his right hand, popped out five fingers and said, "I will bid 5 for the children, and help them promise to increase the population by 10. In three years, I promise to do it."

Gu Tianya smiled wryly, and said: "You are cheating, the entire court is yours."

Li Shimin's face became more serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You can rest assured about this matter, I promise, second brother, that I will not use the power of the court. Since it is a grain seed bought for the children, it is natural for them to pay for this grain seed. In three years, with a population of 10, I will distribute this commitment to five children, which is the first test in their lives."

The meaning of these words is too deep.

Everyone present couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Li Shimin will soon be the emperor, and one of his children will definitely become the next generation heir. Listening to his voice just now, it seems that farming will be a test.

However, everyone knows that Princess Changsun has only given birth to two boys. The eldest son Li Chengqian is only eight years old this year, and the second son Li Tai is only seven years old this year.Obviously there are only two legitimate sons, why did Li Shimin buy 5 copies.

Could it be that the children of the other princesses also have the possibility of becoming heirs?

Gu Tianya was obviously a little puzzled, as if he couldn't understand Li Shimin's intention for a while, but he still nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, accept the auction!"

Although he said he would accept it, he didn't make a decision. Instead, he turned his eyes to the crowd and said with a smile, "Since it's an auction, it can't be a one-shot deal. If someone bids, someone has to be allowed to increase the price. Now Prince Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty I have made a bid and promised to increase the population by 10 in three years. Does anyone here want to increase the price? Each price increase must not be less than 1000 population..."

The audience was silent.

We are not fools?Who is willing to raise the price to compete with Li Shimin?

Gu Tianya sighed helplessly, looked at Li Shimin and complained in a blink of an eye, and said, "Second brother, you are a bit careless."

Li Shimin laughed, and said slowly: "You have fifty grains, and I only want five. And it's not for nothing, I made a promise according to the rules."

Gu Tianya rolled his eyes, reached out and picked up five booklets from the table, then threw them heavily at Li Shimin, pretending to be angry and said: "Here, let me give it to you. Remember, only this is allowed. Once. No matter what you sell next, you can't sell it with your power, otherwise, we brothers will break up."

Li Shimin smiled leisurely, and said nonchalantly: "In business, what you say doesn't count." Although he was joking, his expression became serious, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't break your rules."

Only then was Gu Tianya satisfied.

He turned his head to look at the people present, and said slowly: "Now, there are only 45 grains."

After finishing speaking, his eyes were deep, and he said in a provocative voice: "However, there are 120 seven companies participating in the auction today."

More monks, less porridge!

Not every family can get grain seeds.

In other words, there is a need for scrambling.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became weird...

……

... Re-update Chapter 1, there will be an update in the evening, the current debt situation is 7/35, I am sorry for being sick this time.

Chapter 194 [Do you think you are at a disadvantage?I, Gu Tianya, will make you a lot of money! 】

"Brother Gu has a good saying. Since you are in business, you have to get something out of your efforts. Brother Gu pays for high-yielding grain, but what you want to get back is not money. Although this is a strange thing, But our old Cheng is not in the mood to get to the bottom of it, our old Cheng only cares about one thing, and that is this type of grain that my Cheng family needs very much..."

During a long speech, Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up.

This guy seems to be a reckless man, but he does things neatly, and suddenly raised the price: "Promise, right? The Cheng family can give it! The population will increase by 5000 within three years. This is the solemn promise made by our Cheng family. Gu Brother, you can rest assured that our old Cheng promises not to do such vain things. Since he has made a promise, the whole family must work hard. The Cheng family will not move farmers to other places to make up for it, and will definitely develop the population of the village. "

"it is good!"

Gu Tianya opened his mouth to praise.

At the same time, I have a high opinion of Lao Cheng in my heart.

The reason is simple, Lao Cheng raised the price for him.He has been hinting tonight that the auction needs to be fought over. Although the reserve price of the auction is 2 people, if you really want to trade with the reserve price, you must not do it. Except for Li Shimin, who is a special case, no one else can play tricks.

If you want sweet potato seeds, you have to compete with each other.

Old Cheng obviously saw Gu Tianya's intentions, so he directly increased the price under the premise that no one was competing. This is a kind of cooperation, which can also be called "bid bidding". It is easy to offend people by doing this kind of thing, but Old Cheng did it without hesitation.
