"Majiazhuang innovated the method of drilling wells during the drought, and even His Majesty kept praising it. It is really beneficial to the country and the people."
Fang Xuanling then asked with a somewhat doubtful tone.
"Brother Wang, how dare you take in thousands of refugees in such a poor village as Majiazhuang?"
"Aren't you afraid that everyone will cause trouble if they don't have enough to eat?"
Wang Jian added some hot tea to Fang Xuanling's cup and answered with some confidence on his face.
"Prime Minister, rather than recruiting refugees, it is better to say that we have recruited a group of long-term workers with families."
"Our innovative well-drilling methods in Majiazhuang are increasing day by day. Earning money is not a problem as long as there is work to provide for food and clothing. "
"Besides, I offer them high wages. They see the hope of life in Majiazhuang and work harder. "
When recruiting long-term workers, Wang Jian specifically told Ma Sanye to recruit people with families.
These men with families have more worries than singles and are more law-abiding.
What's more, the wages offered by Majiazhuang are higher than those of many officials.
If you drive them away now, they will not be willing to leave.
Wang Jian paused and continued.
"We have built a private school in Majiazhuang, so our children can study and have the opportunity to change their destiny."
"These parents who have never known a single word in their lives, Who doesn’t want their children to succeed in their studies and become successful?”
“With so many benefits, they will not only avoid making trouble, but they will also work hard to give their wives and children a good life.”
"That's it." Fang Xuanling nodded and said.
Fang Xuanling thought about all the things happening in Majiazhuang, which was like a microcosm of the future of the Tang Dynasty.
If people can have enough food and clothing, and children can study and take exams, how prosperous and stable the world will be.
Fang Xuanling picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but his mind went through a lot of deep thinking.
After chatting, we gradually got to the point.
Wang Jian also introduced some news about Majiazhuang breeding and planting to Fang Xuanling.
When Fang Xuanling heard that Majiazhuang increased the fertility of lower-grade fields through retting and castrating piglets to make the pigs grow bigger and have no odor.
The thin old waist straightened up.
The country’s soldiers plan for the overall situation. These two seemingly simple improvement methods are of great use.
If these two methods were extended to the entire Tang Dynasty, the people's grain harvest would increase by at least 10%, and everyone would be able to eat meat.
So important!
Fang Xuanling looked at the young man with a scholarly temperament, high-spirited and somewhat lazy, and developed a love for talents.
"Brother Wang, is he interested in an official career?"
Being an official and making a fortune, Wang Jian will naturally be the one to make a fortune.Thought.
Coming into this world, the king’s scissors also want to spread their branches and leaves.
A hundred years from now, we will leave a big business to future generations and strive for a good future.
Moreover, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was also a wise king who treated his subjects well, and the safety factor of being an official was quite high.
Wang Jian is not in a hurry, he is slowly building momentum for himself.
According to the normal way of entering an official position, one can slowly climb up from a small official and enter the center of power in Chang'an in the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse.
Young people still have to take shortcuts.
Apart from anything else, the high-yielding sweet potato crop alone was enough for him to obtain a considerable official position.
Wang Jian did not pretend to be a worldly person, and nodded frankly.
"As I thought, everyone would be eager to get promoted and make a fortune."
With Wang Jian's affirmative answer, Fang Xuanling nodded happily.
There were no outsiders present, and Fang Xuanling did not speak any profound official language, but spoke in a straightforward tone.
"You have accomplished two things before. You dug wells to relieve the drought, and the method of exterminating locusts solved a major concern for His Majesty."
"If you donate the fertilized land again, With the second method of castration and breeding, I am afraid that a man from Jianguo County will not be able to escape."
It is very difficult to obtain a title, and it can be passed down from generation to generation.
With the title of nobility, he broke away from his status as a commoner and officially became a wealthy family.
Ma Zhou also envied Wang Jian's starting point.
He was nearly thirty years old, and by chance, he became a county magistrate.
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled, and continued.
"When you enter the court, you can enter the Imperial College with your literary talent, the Ministry of Industry with your ability in studying objects, and the Ministry of Agriculture with your agricultural skills."
"You are still young, although you have to study from Starting from the bottom, with your ability, you will be promoted soon."
Ma Zhou was afraid that Wang Jian would not understand, so he explained to the side.
"Brother Wang, your starting point is not low."
"If you become an official in Chang'an, for the same position, Chang'an is one level higher than local officials."
Wang She has a clue in her mind.
Fortunately, he met Fang Xuanling, the prime minister who liked to search for talents for Li Shimin everywhere.
If he met other people, he would not recommend him so strongly.
He still holds two things in his hand that can gain merit.
The first is steel-making technology. At present, making simple knives is invisible.
When Wang Jian learned of Fang Xuanling's arrival, he specifically asked the people in the escort to hide the simple knives, and asked the people in the blacksmith shop to stop forging the simple knives first and make well-drilling tools first.
Another one is the high-yielding sweet potato.

Even if this year’s drought and locust plagues are solved, the damage they can cause will be unimaginable.inverse.
The disaster-stricken areas will basically have to rely on the government to open warehouses to provide disaster relief in the second half of the year.
Therefore, it is the best time to present high-yielding crops this year.
After weighing it in his mind for a moment, Wang Jian raised his head and spoke to Fang Xuanling word by word.
"Fang Xiang, I got a crop by chance. It can yield a thousand catties per mu, but if you take good care of it, it can produce several thousand catties per mu."
"This product tastes great. , soft, glutinous and polysaccharide, and has low requirements for planting land and is not greedy for water."
"What!"
As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou were stunned. People were surprised.
The mouth is wide open and the expression is exaggerated.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Even though Fang Xuanling had experienced a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, swords, light, blood, and shadows, her hands could not help but tremble at this time.
It’s unbelievable!
What is the concept of a thousand catties per mu?
In good weather years, the best farmland can yield more than 400 kilograms per mu at most, while the harvest from lower-grade farmland is even less.
With this kind of high-yielding grain, we can have a good harvest one year and we will not be afraid of disasters in the next two years.
Fang Xuanling stood up even more excitedly and said with a trembling tone.
"Brother Wang, can you take me to take a look."
Wang Jian also stood up, smiled and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"It's all right. By the way, I'll take two adults to see our Majiazhuang. It would be best if we could get some advice from the house manager."
"You little kid Guy."
Fang Xuanling smiled and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder.
After holding a high position for many years, few people can remain calm in front of him.
Many people saw him and were speechless.
When the three of them walked out of the room, the battle between Niu Jinda and Xu Hu was not over yet.
At this time, the battle entered a fever pitch, and Xu Hu's Yanyue Sword was dancing with only a white light.
Niu Jinda, who was on the opposite side, had a ferocious expression on his face, veins popped out in his hands, and he was holding a gun to fight with all his strength.
Niu Jinda caught the gap between Xu Hu's changing moves and counterattacked with a spear like a dragon.
The spear has no fancy tricks, every thrust goes straight to Xu Hu's vitals.
When the two of them separated and paused, Wang Jian saw that the spear in Niu Jinda's hand also had a few more gaps, which made him hold back during the fight and did not dare to hit it with all his strength.
Xu Hu also relied on the power of the big knife in his hand to fight Niu Jinda back and forth.
As a general who has been fighting for many years, Fang Xuanling knows Niu Jinda’s bravery.
A few days ago, Cheng Chumo said that there were three young masters in Majiazhuang, but at first he didn't take it to heart.
Young people who have never seen blood can be powerful no matter how powerful they are.Where to go.
But when I saw Xu Hu dancing like a tiger with a big sword, I started to take it seriously.
He turned around and patted Wang Jian's shoulder gently, saying with approval.
"Majiazhuang is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. If this boy joins the army, he will definitely shine."
Wang Jian smiled and told Xu Hu's life experience.
"What the Prime Minister doesn't know is that Xu Hu's ancestor was Xu Chu, a personal guard of Emperor Wu of Wei. Although he did not inherit his ancestor's achievements, he also learned several skills from his ancestors in terms of martial arts."
"His grandfather is the person in charge of well-drilling tools, and he is expected to inherit the legacy of his ancestors every day."
Fang Xuanling nodded while stroking his beard.
"There was no shortage of wars in the Tang Dynasty. There were Turks and Goguryeo in the north, and Turpan in the west."
"Your Majesty is still young and strong, has the ambition to open up new territories, and has great military potential. ”
Knowing that Fang Xuanling was going to Majiazhuang with Wang Jian, Niu Jinda thought of following him for protection, but was stopped by Fang Xuanling.
Majiazhuang is very safe, and there are several guards accompanying them, so safety is not a problem.
Arrive at Wang Jian’s house.
Several Forbidden Army guards were left at the door by Fang Xuanling. He and Ma Zhou followed Wang Jian in.
The sweet potato was carefully taken care of by Han Xuelian and Wang Jian, and it has grown to a long length.
Fang Xuanling squatted in front of the sweet potato seedlings and asked Wang Jian in disbelief.
"Brother Wang, can this crop called sweet potato really produce a thousand catties per mu?"
Wang Jian nodded and said firmly, "No problem!"
Then he showed a bit of pity, "There are just not many seeds, and it will take several years for breeding to be promoted on a large scale."
Fang Xuanling stood up and said with a smile.
"This thing is buried deep in the soil and is not affected by pests. It is truly a natural gift."
"Protect this crop well. When it matures in the first season, write to me in advance. I'll come and take a look."
"If it's true to what you said, the man from Jianguo County is not worthy of reward, at least he is the Marquis of Jianguo County!"
"Definitely."
Wang Jian’s palms were sweaty and he responded with a bit of excitement.
This incredible wealth is about to fall on someone like him.
