Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 397 Promotion Strategy
Xue Lang purposely entered the palace ahead of time, and went to meet the saint with the repertoire written early in his arms.As soon as the sage went down to court and returned to the Zichen Palace, before his butt was hot, Xue Lang came!

"The minister has this play, please read it to the saint."

After going in and saluting, hand over your own play.The saint took it and looked at it carefully——

When Xue Lang wrote essays, he basically didn't write nonsense. He always narrated in a straightforward manner, first put forward his views, and then discussed politics with various examples to persuade people who read the essays. There is no literary talent at all.But the logic has always been clear and convincing.

The sage read the beginning, his expression became solemn, and the more he looked, the more serious his expression became. At the end, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while. After reading it three times, he put down Xue Lang's melody, and asked, "Will you read the melody?" Is it all true?"

Xue Lang said: "Returning to the sage, all the writings in the Shuzuo have been repeatedly demonstrated by the minister, there is absolutely no problem! Now there is still time, the sage can choose a few people from the people who manage potato planting this year, and go to various places to enclose land and try planting." .”

After pondering for a while, the sage made a decisive decision: "Send it to Qing Si Nong!"

"Here."

Xiao Huangmen led the order to go out of the palace to announce people into the palace.The sage looked at Xue Lang with a smile, and asked, "Can You Yang have a court meal?"

Xue Lang said honestly: "Woke up in the morning and ate a bowl of noodles, which saturate my stomach a bit, and eating in the morning is still useless."

The sage said: "Since it's useless, then come with me. Don't think that the food in my palace is not to your taste."

Xue Lang said with a smile: "It's fine to eat when you're hungry, and wait until you're full when you don't like it."

The sage laughed, stretched out his fingers and nodded Xue Lang, obviously in a good mood.After that, he ordered people to prepare a meal, and Weng and his son-in-law ate together.It's meal time now, the so-called emperor doesn't dismantle hungry soldiers, even if he wants to discuss matters, he has to wait until the meal is over.

After eating, the sage wanted to continue the discussion, Xue Lang couldn't help but said, "Sage, just finished eating, how about going out for a walk to digest food? Proper exercise after a meal is good for your body."

The sage was startled, then nodded, and walked out of Zichen Hall with Xue Lang, and walked under the eaves of Zichen Hall without going far. After all, the sun outside was too hot and too hot!

The sage said as he walked, "For so many years, you are the first person to persuade me like this."

Xue Lang smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Probably all the ministers in the court put political affairs first, and forgot to sleep and eat for official business. The minister's point of view is to combine work and rest. Only with a healthy body can you have a better job."

The sage laughed and praised: "This view is excellent!"

Xue Lang said solemnly: "It's good that the saint approves!"

This made the saint laugh again, and he didn't know what he was laughing at. Xue Lang felt that the saint's laughter was like a mystery, and he couldn't get it at all!

The two walked together for about half an hour, then went back to the Zichen Hall. When the saint returned to the Zichen Hall, Xiao Huangmen immediately went to announce that the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall came in. .

Before discussing the matter, the sage directly sent down the briefing that Xue Lang had handed over just now for the ministers to circulate.After all the ministers had read it, the sage said: "The purpose of summoning all your families today is for the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes. What do you think about this matter? Feel free to tell me."

Pei Ji took the lead and said: "Congratulations to the sage, congratulations to the sage, Chang'an had such a high yield in the first year of trial planting, such a high yield, an unprecedented miracle, this is the evidence of the destiny in the Tang Dynasty, and I think that this matter should be issued. , Advertise it to the world, let the whole world celebrate together, and celebrate the Tang Dynasty together!"

"My minister agrees!"

After Pei Ji finished speaking, several ministers agreed.The sage smiled quite complacently. He glanced at Pei Ji appreciatively, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your family's words are very kind. This kind of happy event should be enjoyed with the people and celebrated with the whole world. Let the people of Tang Dynasty know. Knowing that our Great Tang is favored by the heavens, and getting this fetish will boost the morale and popularity of our Great Tang soldiers and people, and witness the prosperity of our Great Tang's national destiny!"

"Here! The minister is waiting to draft an edict!"

Officials from Menxia Province immediately came out to take orders.Qin Wangdao: "Although sweet potatoes and potatoes are good, how to promote them quickly and effectively requires a practical and feasible regulation. Don't make good things turn into bad things, that's not beautiful!"

The ministers nodded in unison. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. None of the people here are people who make policy decisions on the basis of pats on the head. It is about food, and no one dares to be cautious.

Xue Lang watched everyone around silently, thought for a while, and couldn't help but said: "To the saint, if you talk about promoting sweet potatoes, I have a bit immature and foolish opinion, I want to speak out, please refer to it."

The saint said kindly: "Whatever your son-in-law thinks, feel free to tell me!"

To actually call a good son-in-law in front of all the ministers, this is an unabashed love for Xue Lang!Xue Lang poked secretly in his heart like a pair of scissors, and said with a serious face: "When it comes to promotion, it is naturally the fastest to give encouragement from the national policy level. Last year, there was a rough discussion on the promotion of sweet potatoes, Potatoes, but due to limited seeds, it was not possible. I am familiar with sweet potatoes and the elements of potato planting. I have often thought about the issue of promotion this year, and I have some experience. Please refer to it.”

Everyone nodded, it was indeed discussed roughly last year.Xue Lang continued: "Last year, I said that in order to promote it, it was suggested that the imperial court should fund the construction of vermicelli workshops. After returning home, I thought about it. Only this point is not enough. Our dynasty has a vast territory, and the conditions in different places are different. Some places are suitable for growing sweet potatoes, Potatoes may not be suitable in some places, and there will definitely be residual variations. I believe that the formulation of policies should not be one-size-fits-all, and there should be some subtle differences in the implementation of policies in different regions. For example, the establishment of vermicelli workshops, temporarily Just implement it in Chang'an and Luoyang, and the rest of the area will not be funded by the imperial court, but will be auctioned for technology use rights and exclusive management rights."

Everyone was stunned, and the prince asked: "Youyang, what is... the right to use technology and exclusive management right?"

Xue Lang explained: "It is an area where only one family is taught the technique of making vermicelli and allowed to operate a vermicelli workshop. Others are not allowed to set foot in without the permission of the imperial court. For this exclusive right, a time limit must be set, at most Three years, no more!"

King Qin's mind turned quickly, and he understood immediately, and asked: "How to determine the candidate?"

Xue Lang replied: "Auction! After the sage spread the news of sweet potatoes and potatoes to the world, he can also set a bonus in Beijing and hold a poetry and prose contest to sing about sweet potatoes and potatoes. The publicity and momentum of the reputation will attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world to participate, and an auction will be held in central Beijing to auction off the exclusive technology use rights and management rights of each region for three years, and the highest price will win!"

The more Xue Lang talked, the smoother his thoughts became, but among the ministers, the more they listened, the more weird their expressions became——

Xue Lang's proposal is good, but the more you listen to it, the more you feel it's a good thing. When he says it, why do you feel so philistine?Cough, this must be an illusion!
