Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 363 Mutual calculation (for subscription)

Although Lin Sen has received a new position, it is obvious that he will not take up the position so soon. He still has many things to do, such as harvesting rice.

And Feng Zhidai has not been here for a long time, probably only a few days. He should have chatted with Feng An and the others about the most important topics, and then called Lin Sen over again to participate in this competition. The dinner held in the Feng family mansion.

The top figures of the Feng family, that is, the power holders of various state capitals and forces in the entire Gaozhou, basically all came.

Inevitably, Feng Zhidai also complimented Lin Sen, praising him for his bravery, martial arts and so on.

And Lin Sen could clearly feel that Feng An's attitude towards him became more enthusiastic. It seems that Feng Zhidai's credit is indispensable for this. I don't know what he said to his father.

In addition, Lin Sen felt that it must be for the sake of the crops he planted.

Harvesting of super rice has started one after another, although not all of them have been completed, because the area they planted is actually not small, but the approximate yield per mu has been calculated.

Just because of this matter, Feng An was even alarmed, and made a special trip to the rice field to look at it for a day. For him who is busy with his daily affairs, this is definitely a rare attention.

Because the yield per mu over there is really astonishing, at least in Feng An's view, it can already be called a terrifying yield.

Calculated on average, the yield per mu is well over [-] jin, and some lands that are rich in nutrients can even reach [-] jin!

Even if it is calculated according to the lowest yield, it is more than twice the original yield per mu, and even four or five times higher than the original yield.

Even if he didn't have to worry about not having enough food, Feng An could still understand what this terrible output meant.

Even if it doesn't bring too much economic benefit, the political interests represented behind it are very different. This alone can ensure that there will be very few things like famine under his hands.

For stabilizing people's hearts and increasing one's prestige, it can be said to be immediate.

No matter how badly the short-sighted guys under his command exploit ordinary people, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they will save a lot of bullshit and nonsense, and they don't have to spend three days and two days with those who are being scraped. The rebels, who could only stand up and fight, fought.

Therefore, Feng An felt that he could not overemphasize this thing, it was a strategic killer.

Recently, he is busy trying to get more rice seeds from Lin Sen, so that his subordinates can plant this super rice on a large scale.

Of course, Lin Sen was also happy. Not only could he earn a fortune from selling the rice seeds, but it would also allow this super rice to occupy the whole of Lingnan.

When Lingnan people get used to the super high yield of these rice, wanting them to grow back to the original ones is not just scolding.

However, Feng An didn't know that Lin Sen was playing tricks behind his back, so he thought that the purchase of rice seeds was a one-off deal, and after his own super rice was grown, would he still need to buy it from Lin Sen?
Holding the lifeline in the hands of others is obviously not what a local emperor like him would think.After making up his mind to get enough rice seeds, he had to leave Lin Sen's behind.

Little did he know that Lin Sen had long been on guard against his move, and wanted to kick him into a corner, but there was no door.

But at the moment, the two people who are calculating each other seem to be very harmonious. I don't know how good their relationship really is, and the gang of Feng An's nephews all came to toast Lin Sen non-stop. .

But Lin Sen valued it more, and felt that the sugar cane that could create more wealth for him was not ripe yet, so he would definitely ask the locals to help harvest and squeeze it, and it would be best to make sugar again.

Food can bring more strategic significance.This time, Lin Sen didn't intend to give up the reputation of the magic rice master easily. Even if Feng An gave him enough benefits, Lin Sen would definitely not give up easily. Maybe he would end up with Li Shimin's name.

What's more, Feng An seems to have forgotten the honor of the inventor at the moment.

Lin Sen was also prepared for this, and he was not afraid that Feng An would pick the fruit easily. If Feng An really wanted to bypass him, he might find himself jumping into a big pit instead.

In comparison, the benefits that sugar cane can bring are more direct.

Compared with many other things, sugar is actually a hard currency that is easier for people to accept.

The most popular fruits in Chang'an City are all sweet, and they have to be similar to the three swords of the later generations, so sweet that they are a bit throaty.

This probably has a lot to do with the overall eating habits of Tang people. Heavy flavors and greasy flavors are the main theme, and light sweet flavors are not very marketable even among girls.

The consumption of sugar can be imagined, and sugar at this time is not cheap.

This is just one area in Chang'an City. If you think about the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, and those fan merchants who are constantly coming and going in Guangzhou, it is not difficult to imagine how big the market is.

In addition, planting these two crops can effectively connect the north and the south in the future, strengthen mutual communication and dependence, and will also be very helpful in strengthening Datang's control over the south. Of course, that must be After Lin Sen's plan was slowly advanced.

At least it seems that there is no harm to Feng An at all, otherwise how could he treat Lin Sen with such enthusiasm, who hasn't made up his mind yet.

Considering that the road in Lingnan is difficult, of course, Li Shimin deliberately indulged in it. He also knew Lin Sen's plan, so the deadline for assuming the new post was quite long.

Before the real departure, Lin Sen personally watched all the rice harvesting, and then sold it to Feng An at a price that both parties were satisfied with.

Feng An, who consciously spends the money this time, can get this new rice once and for all, has no intention of haggling with Lin Sen at all, and gives it according to Lin Sen's quotation with a big wave of his hand.

After getting enough money, Lin Sen simply led the team and set off.The target is directed at Panyu, where the Guangfu government office is now located, which is the future Guangzhou City.

What Feng An gave were all gold and silver, and it was not like copper coins. Big carts and small carts slowed down everyone's speed, so it was actually faster to drive.

After all, the founding of the Tang Dynasty was not very long. Even if it was far-sighted to start minting its own copper coins at the beginning of the founding of the country, the output was obviously far from meeting the needs of people's daily life.

Therefore, even in Chang'an City, barter transactions can often be seen. At this time, the silk cloth actually bears the general equivalent, that is, the function similar to currency.

This is also the reason why places like Dongxishi and Qianpu exist.

It is impossible for anyone to go shopping with cartloads of copper coins, or strings of tens of catties of money.

In the south, especially in the Lingnan area, the shortage of copper coins is even more serious. After all, putting the coin-making workshops in the far south is not conducive to the royal family strengthening their rule.

And it is impossible for anyone to go to the north on a special trip to get those heavy copper coins to use. The north itself is not enough.

Besides, even if copper coins were shipped in, the value would definitely be very different from that in the north, and the shipping fee alone would be a considerable loss.

In addition, there are many merchants in places like Guangzhou, and it is convenient for people to go overseas with copper coins to buy things with hard currencies like gold and silver.

Therefore, relying on gold and silver for large transactions in the Lingnan area is already the default unspoken rule. Although it does not conform to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, everyone chose to turn a blind eye and close one eye, and use it when they use it.

It is indeed much more convenient to carry gold and silver, at least Lin Sen and the others deeply felt this convenience.

Compared with the distance from Gaozhou to Chang'an, the distance from Gaozhou to Panyu is much shorter and more convenient, so Lin Sen and the others feel that it will not take a long time, and that one is considered to be a good one in the whole of Lingnan. It is the large-scale city of Guangzhou, which is far away.
