I Open a General Store in Early Tang

Zhuang Zhou, unemployed at home, unexpectedly obtained a time-space gate that could travel to the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, and could also carry items with him. Thus, Zhuang Zhou embarked on...

Chapter 119 Spring in the Tang Dynasty!!!

After Zhuang Zhou left, Li Er and Cheng Yaojin took a walk around the West Market.

For private visits, we can understand the living conditions of ordinary people.

This is also something Li Er likes to do on a daily basis.

"Brother Qin, I thought you were gone. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet!"

"Then let's go together!"

Zhuang Zhou said this and asked Ling'er to add two more pairs of chopsticks.

Still the same old rules.

Ma San and others took their own large bowls, filled them with food, and then went to the side to eat.

Zhuang Zhou, Li Er and Cheng Yaojin sat down on the stone table again.

Li Er was originally waiting for Zhuang Zhou to bring out some Red Star Erguotou to drink!

But this time.

Zhuang Zhou was in a good mood and took out a bottle of Moutai.

"I'm happy today. I'll have a drink with my two brothers at noon."

Li Er pursed his lips and said:

"I see Brother Zhuang has made quite a bit of money today, so why are you giving us this to drink?"

"This is good wine!"

As he spoke, Zhuang Zhou opened the wine lid, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out.

It spread instantly.

For a moment, the entire backyard was filled with the aroma of wine.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly became interested:

"Brother Zhuang, your wine is pretty good!"

"Of course!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled faintly, his face full of confidence.

This Moutai is a sauce-flavored liquor with a strong aroma.

After all, this can be used as wine for state banquets to entertain foreign guests.

It’s naturally good wine.

Li Er also closed his eyes and sniffed it, and soon realized that this wine might be better than Red Star Erguotou.

And based on his understanding of good wine, this wine can be recognized as the best wine in the world based solely on its aroma.

"Brother Qin, please!"

Li Er nodded, slowly picked up the wine glass, and put it to his nose to sniff it.

Sure enough, the wine tasted mellow.

This scene actually caught Cheng Yaojin's attention.

Suddenly I felt that the Coke in my hand didn’t taste good anymore.

At this time, his eyes were wide open and he just stared at Li Er without saying a word.

But my mouth was filled with greed.

Li Er didn't look at him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hiss! It really is a good wine!"

Li Er gave his evaluation, saying that this wine is indeed special compared to Red Star Erguotou.

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips and took another big gulp of Coke.

The three of them ate and chatted.

Li Erben came here today with a purpose.

Changle had been sent to test the waters before. This guy had mentioned that he had a way to ensure that all the people of the Tang Dynasty had enough food to eat.

For this reason, Zhuang Zhou was specially conferred a title.

This certainly can’t be given for free!

"Brother Zhuang, do you know how to farm?"

"Farming?"

Zhuang Zhou was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, but can you farm?"

"Won't!"

Li Er's mouth twitched. In his opinion, it could solve the people's food problem.

It must be solved from the land.

Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Zhuang Zhou say:

"But I've seen other people farming, so I know the basic process pretty well."

Li Er became interested and asked:

"Then, based on what Brother Zhuang said, how can we grow more food on this land?"

"This one! It's easy!"

Zhuang Zhou said without thinking:

"First of all, it's about seeds. We have to select high-yield varieties."

"Good breed? What does that mean?"

Zhuang Zhou asked in return:

"Let me ask you, where do you get the seeds for farming here?"

"Of course, for seed! Choose ones that are over a year old, with plump grains, and store them carefully to prevent insects and mold, so they need to be preserved with mugwort."

Zhuang Zhou could roughly imagine that it would be this kind of crude method.

He shook his head and said:

"You can't do that! The yields of anything developed from these seeds will decrease year by year."

Most modern seeds are selected by breeding companies, and these seeds will retain their original purity.

But in this era, due to technical difficulties, we can only solve the problem by keeping our own seeds.

Therefore, most people in ancient times chose to grow seedlings first.

Selecting strong and healthy seedlings for planting is to increase crop yields.

When Zhuang Zhou expressed his thoughts, Li Er was completely shocked.

"Brother Zhuang, are you saying you can get better seeds?"

"Yes."

Zhuang Zhou nodded and said:

"And I can also get fertilizers and other things.

With good seeds, we can provide good fertilizers.

As long as we manage it diligently, the land of the Tang Dynasty can also produce high-yield crops."

The more Li Er listened, the more excited he became. He knew that this kid definitely had a way.

"Brother Zhuang, if you can truly improve the productivity of the people of the Tang Dynasty and ensure they have enough food to eat, I'm afraid it wouldn't be impossible for the current emperor to confer upon you a title of king of a different surname!"

I don’t know if it was because he was a little excited after drinking a few glasses, but Li Er spoke so frankly.

Zhuang Zhou rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say:

"It's easy for you to say that. You think the court is run by your family."

Although he is a science student, Zhuang Zhou also knows what the idiom "become a marquis and a prime minister" means.

What a great contribution that would be!

Now he has been granted the title of county baron.

After all, it was because of the sweet potato...

etc.

sweet potato?

Zhuang Zhou suddenly thought of something.

The sweet potatoes that I brought were for Brother Qin in front of me to take away.

But how could the emperor know this news?

He also conferred a title on himself.

So Zhuang Zhou naturally guessed something.

"Brother Qin, are you from the government?"

Li Er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and replied reluctantly:
