Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 167 Assembly Line (1)

Yan Yanzhi hastily agreed, as long as Liu Yizhen can still use him, then his position can be kept for the time being.

Yan Yanzhi has two advantages, one is that he has literary talents, and the other is that he can clearly recognize his position.

He knew that he did not have the strong background of Xie Lingyun, so Yan Yanzhi was very smart in finding a backer.

First, he followed Xie Lingyun, the big brother of the Xie family in Chen County, and now he found Liu Yizhen, a big tree.

Seeing Liu Yizhen expressing his dissatisfaction with him now, Yan Yanzhi immediately made up his mind to do things according to Liu Yizhen's will and not to cause trouble for Liu Yizhen.

So two days later, when Liu Yizhen came to Donglin Academy again, the scene was like this...

The scholars sat side by side, and the sound of Lang Lang's reading could be heard from ten miles away. Even Tao Yuanming, who had been half-reclusive in Nanshan Court, looked like he had seen a ghost, and frequently came out to visit the disciples of the aristocratic families who "reformed from evil and returned to righteousness".

"It's not...it doesn't have to be like this."

This group of people put on human skins made Liu Yizhen feel a little uncomfortable.

Yan Yanzhi said seriously: "Actually, we have always been like this..."

After automatically blocking Yan Yanzhi's words, Liu Yizhen looked through the information of this group of people.

Although these people are poor, they are not as poor as the poor people. Most of them are actually small landlords with many fields and tenants.

"During the slack days these days, you asked everyone to gather their tenants together. I am useful."

Mentioning tenants, Yan Yanzhi's face suddenly changed.

He came to Liu Yizhen's side in a low voice and said, "His Royal Highness, those people... I'm afraid they won't move."

Those tenants are the hidden lifeblood of the aristocratic family, and they are easy to be criticized if they are exposed to the sun casually.

Just like the Zhang family in Wujun before.

There are some things that everyone knows well, but if you expose it, it is your fault.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Of course, Liu Yizhen is not interested in playing with the lifeline of the family, and it is hard to say if there are a hundred tenants in total under the control of this person?
"By the way, the female relatives want it too."

Women are also half the sky, how can we forget them at this time?
Although Yan Yanzhi didn't know what Liu Yizhen meant, but since Liu Yizhen was sure to cover them, Yan Yanzhi's heart finally returned to his stomach.

"and also……"

Liu Yizhen took out a wooden box from his bosom.

"Go get some hot water."

Open the box, inside is the roasted tea leaves.

Gently twist some and put it in the cup, the tea fragrance will overflow instantly when the hot water is flushed.

Yan Yanzhi sniffed this wonderful fragrance, and immediately felt refreshed. Although the effect was not as good as Wushi San, it was more refreshing.

"The name of this thing is tea, you don't want to touch those highly poisonous things in the future."

The essence of Wushisan is a chronic poison composed of five stone medicines: stalactite, amethyst, white quartz, sulfur, and red stone fat. I don’t know how many famous people died because of this substance.

But on the one hand, Wei and Jin advocated metaphysics, and the sense of emptiness after taking Wushi powder has become a fashion and even a habit.

Now Liu Yizhen is on the common sense whether tea can be used to replace Wushi powder and occupy the market of Wushi powder.Put money in your pocket while serving the country and the people.

Yan Yanzhi was also very curious about the tea leaves, and he was immediately astonished when he sipped it lightly.

"nice one!"

The fresh and slightly bitter taste of tea leaves is very addictive. Yan Yan tasted it as if he had found a treasure, knowing that it would be a hit.

"His Royal Highness, are these the only ones?"

Yan Yanzhi thought carefully, if the weight of this thing is not much, he can use this thing, and then hehehehe.

Liu Yizhen's next sentence shattered his fantasy: "Langya Wang is willing to plant this plant, and it will probably not be out of stock in the future."

It is probably because the land is a treasure. Although there are tea fields in the south, planting cash crops has never been the choice of farmers in ancient China. Even if the Wang family has a big business, they will not plant on a large scale next year.

But Liu Yizhen has confidence in tea, or in the choice of history.

He also took out a few boxes of tea and handed them to Yan Yanzhi, asking him to promote them in front of the aristocratic family, so as to open up the tea market as soon as possible.

The best way for a literati like Yan Yanzhi to bring goods is to write articles.

Only one day later, Yan Yanzhi wrote an "Ode to Spiritual Tea" and let people spread it, which quickly opened up the popularity of tea.

At the same time, he also found all the tenants under the name of the academy students for Liu Yizhen, and sent them to Liu Yizhen.

Seeing that Yan Yanzhi was doing things pretty well, Liu Yizhen decided to give Yan Yanzhi one more chance, and no longer pursue the previous work on the boat.

The tenants who were called together were visibly apprehensive.

They have never seen an official bigger than the county magistrate in their life, and now they are suddenly recruited by a prince whom they have only heard of in legends, somewhat in a dream.

When Liu Yizhen appeared in front of them, they knelt down one after another, not daring to look directly at Liu Yizhen's face.

Liu Yizhen looked at the group of tenants...

Although many people are pitifully skinny, they are still under the feet of the emperor, and their mental outlook is not bad.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, Gu came here this time to ask you something."

Halfway through the speech, Liu Yizhen waved his hand, and Fan Daoji brought up several large bamboo baskets with a few personal guards, which were filled with food, and one of them even had a few pieces of bacon in it.

Some children don't have the concept of superiority and inferiority like adults. After seeing the food and bacon, their eyes were bare and they walked out.

"return!"

The adults around panicked, calling out to the children who were attracted by the food in a low and hurried voice.

Most of the children backed away quietly in fear of the majesty of their parents, only one little boy didn't look back, and came to the pile of bacon and stared straight at it.

At this time, a man quickly rushed out from the crowd, hugged the little boy and immediately knelt down in front of Liu Yizhen and kowtowed: "King Qin's atonement! King Qin's atonement! Children are not sensible!"

Liu Yizhen looked at the man's figure and felt that his face was familiar.

"Head up."

The man shuddered when he heard Liu Yizhen's words, and slowly raised his face that was disfigured because of kowtowing too hard.

It turned out to be the man who sold straw sandals yesterday.

Liu Yizhen looked up and found that the other party's wife was also appearing behind, looking at the man and the child worriedly.

"What's your name?"

"Back to King Qin, the name of the grassroots is Liu Kun."

……

The business of selling straw sandals was contracted by the old Liu family?

Liu Yizhen squatted down and pointed at the bacon and asked the little boy, "Do you want to eat it?"

The little guy nodded heavily.

"Then take it."

The little boy and Liu Kun looked at Liu Yizhen in surprise, apparently in disbelief.

After stuffing a piece of bacon to the little boy, Liu Yizhen stood up again and shouted to everyone: "These things are all for you! The premise is that you must know the crafts like Liu Kun!"

The tenants below all hesitated, and after a long time someone raised their hands.

"Say!"

"I can also weave straw sandals, but not as good as Brother Liu, is that okay?"

"can!"

After this person got an affirmative answer, he immediately stepped forward happily, and Liu Yizhen also gave him a piece of bacon and a bag of grain.

Now everyone lost their temper, and three or five people who could make straw sandals stepped forward.

At this time, a peasant woman with a disheveled face asked in a low voice: "Yes, can I make clothes?"

"can!"

In an instant, almost all the peasant women stood up.

Female red, for them, is as simple as eating and drinking water, without any challenges at all.

After a while, a few more tenants who knew carpentry came out, and happily took away the grain after receiving Liu Yizhen's approval.

In the end only a few men were left behind.

Liu Yizhen didn't have the slightest sympathy for this very rare special case, so he dismissed them directly.

In this era, there is no need for men to study hard to gain fame. Men with a little bit of self-motivation know how to learn some crafts to improve their family conditions, such as Liu Bei and Liu Yu.

Those who don't study are mostly those who don't want to make progress and are raised by their wives and parents. Liu Yi really doesn't bother to talk to them.
