Chapter 353 Sugar Cane
"Li Chunfeng?" Li Zheng asked curiously, "What's the matter with Li Chunfeng?"

The county magistrate of Jingyang explained: "This lower official is not very clear, isn't the county marquis not clear?"

Increase the population?Underpopulation?Encouragement to have children?
There is also the matter of Li Chunfeng. Suddenly he understood something, and Li Zheng said to himself: "Aren't I making things difficult for myself?"

"I'm making trouble for myself?" Jingyang county magistrate asked curiously, "Where did the county lord say that?"

"It's nothing." Li Zheng said with emotion: "I remembered some unhappy things."

"Any unhappy things, can I talk to my subordinates?"

Li Chunfeng is studying big data, and I don't know why this guy made Li Shimin worry about the population. Maybe it's because big data is used wrongly. Shouldn't this be the most important stage of developing agriculture and commerce?

Why are you starting to engage in population now?

Li Zheng let out a long sigh.

The county magistrate of Jingyang also heaved a long sigh, "Your Majesty, as a county magistrate, I have been in charge of Jingyang for a long time. If you can follow the county magistrate, I will definitely be able to do better."

"I know." Li Zheng nodded feebly.

The magistrate of Jingyang County sighed, "It's just that since the county marquis took charge of Jingyang, today's Jingyang can be said to never close its doors at night. It is so rich, and the smiles on the faces of the people in Jingyang make the officials very pleased."

Li Zheng squinted at him and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

The county magistrate of Jingyang said with emotion: "Don't lie to the county lord, the salary of the subordinate official is only three shi."

"So?" Li Zheng asked.

The magistrate of Jingyang began to look aggrieved, "His Majesty, I have been studying poetry and books since I was a child. I originally wanted to be a Jinshi, but I didn't expect to become a county magistrate. I thought I could enter the court after a few years of county magistrate." Tang, so the officials have been diligent all these years, and have been doing their best to make the people of Jingyang affluent. "

"And then." Li Zheng was somewhat aware of what this guy wanted to do.

The county magistrate of Jingyang said: "I don't want to be an official anymore, I want to hang out with the county lord."

"I'll talk about this later. The relationship between me and Chang'an is not very good recently. It's easy for me to offend him if you change jobs at this time." Li Zheng said.

"Really?" Jingyang county magistrate became nervous and asked, "Could it be that there are many court officials who want to follow the magistrate?"

Li Zheng nodded solemnly, "Following me is very risky, because I am not the emperor, you are the county magistrate now but you are following the emperor now, do you understand me?"

The magistrate of Jingyang County nodded, "I understand."

"Let's not talk about that, is there anything I can do about my father's matter?" Li Zheng asked.

The magistrate of Jingyang hesitated for a while and said, "It's not impossible?"

Li Zheng asked again: "Tell me in detail."

The magistrate of Jingyang County sighed and said: "This matter is difficult to handle, but it is also easy to handle. In fact, many people can go to the army to avoid marriage."

"Join the army?" Li Zheng thought of his current situation, and it would not be a good thing for Li Daxiong to join the army.

Military power is such a thing that you don't even want to touch it. If you touch it, something will happen.

Li Zheng said, "Is this the only way?"

The county magistrate of Jingyang said: "Now it seems that there is only this way."

Li Zheng stood up and said, "It's none of your business, you can go on with your work."

The county magistrate of Jingyang had no choice but to nod, and before leaving, he said: "If the county marquis lacks someone, tell the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will not hesitate to define it."

To be honest, he was not familiar with the magistrate of Jingyang County, so Li Zheng thought carefully about letting Li Daxiong join the army. At worst, he would make a name and avoid the forced marriage from the court.

After returning to the stables, Li Zheng shared his thoughts with Duhu.

Du Hu hesitated for a while and said, "That's fine, just talk to General Li Ji."

"Long Wujun can also recruit people like this?"

Du Hu explained: "It's just to hang a person, it's just to add a name to the military register, but if this military position has to be hung under the name of a general."

"Okay, just say it's my soldier." Li Zheng agreed.

After speaking, Li Zheng wrote a letter and handed it to Du Hu, "Give it to General Li Ji."

"Here!"

After Dui received the letter, he rode away on horseback.

Li Zhi went to class again, Li Tai went to work, and the stables became quiet again.

There is also Wang Ding beside him, at this moment the old eunuch is knocking melon seeds non-stop, having a great time.

Cheng Chumo came with a bunch of things, and saw that he was still holding one in his hand, eating wildly.

"This is..." Li Zheng looked at the black things and said in surprise, "Isn't this sugarcane?"

Cheng Chumo ate the sugar cane and put down another bundle and said, "Feng Angang brought it to you, saying it is a thank you gift."

Li Zheng took out a piece of sugarcane, washed it with water, and started to eat it.

"Sure enough, sugarcane is the sweetest when eaten with its skin on." Li Zheng said, biting the sugarcane hard.

Cheng Chumo also ate sugarcane, "When Feng An came to Chang'an, he brought a lot of Lingnan fruits and lychees, but they were not fresh."

Li Zheng asked in surprise, "Where's the litchi?"

"It's been distributed to another family. My old man is vicious. He took a fancy to sugar cane at a glance, and didn't pay attention to anything else."

Li Zheng ate sugar cane and said, "Is there any banana?"

"You're talking about bananas, right? The ones with yellow skin? My old guy doesn't like them."

Li Zheng said with emotion: "Uncle Cheng is really..."

Cheng Chumo said: "You have a unique vision, don't you?"

Maybe sugar cane is the most expensive thing for Changan people today.

Salt is expensive these days, and sugar is even more expensive. It is rare for ordinary people to be able to eat sugar.

Li Zheng was somewhat resistant to that kind of maltose.

Sucrose is a good sugar, which can be extracted from sugar cane.

Sugar cane is suitable for planting in the south, especially in Lingnan.

The soil in Chang'an is not suitable for growing sugarcane, which needs a warm environment and high moisture content.

Sugar cane is difficult to grow without a warm climate.

Sugar cane is also an indispensable material for refining sugar.

Moreover, sucrose is not the kind of synthetic saccharin, it is easy to be absorbed by the body when eaten, and the brown sugar made is more suitable for pregnant women and people with anemia.

Li Zheng was eating sugarcane and asked, "Feng An's son has returned to Lingnan, right?"

"Yes." Cheng Chu nodded silently.

Li Zheng took out a sugarcane and handed it to Wang Ding, "Wang Gonggong, do you want to eat one too, I won't help Wang Gonggong wash it if there is still some mud on it."

"Thank you, County Marquis." Wang Ding laughed and went to wash the sugarcane.

After seeing Wang Ding leave, Li Zheng hurriedly whispered to Cheng Chumo, "Ask for me if Feng An wants to do business with me."

"Business? Do you want to do business with Feng An?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Some things that can be grown in Lingnan cannot be grown in Chang'an. Fruits are a rarity. Wouldn't it be better if they could be eaten every year?"

"Really? You can eat it every year."

"Of course, bring him to see me." Li Zheng nodded.

Cheng Chumo nodded vigorously, "Just wait for me and tell Feng An right now."
