"One acre of land costs five hundred dan. Although the area of the Hutuo River Valley is not too large, it is more than 6,000 acres! In total, it's three to three hundred thousand dan!"
Zhang Tu's voice actually trembled a little, and he stammered to himself on the side.
"No, no, no, Master Tutor, you made a mistake in your calculation. It should be three million stones!"
Liu Deng picked up a piece of sweet potato from the ground, washed it in the water tank, and took a bite.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched when they saw the evil deeds, as if Liu Deng was biting their flesh.
"Three million! Stone!"
"belch--"
Zhang Tu yelled crazily, then hiccupped and pulled away.
"Go to Dr. Wang quickly!"
Liu Deng rushed forward, hugged Zhang Tu in his arms, and shouted loudly.
If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have said anything. It was just an estimate of the output. Unexpectedly, this old guy couldn't bear it and fainted. This made Liu Deng feel depressed for a while.
"promise!"
Du Ziteng quickly kicked the butt of a guard next to him. The guy immediately responded and ran out.
Originally, Liu Deng wanted to watch the fun and take revenge. Who told this old guy to let that quack doctor prick himself with such a thick gold needle?
But looking at Zhang Tu's gray beard, he still couldn't hold it back and hurriedly pinched him and slapped him on the back.
Finally, Zhang Tu was woken up before Dr. Wang arrived.
"Master Taifu, Master Taifu?"
Seeing that the old man finally opened his eyes, and there were no symptoms of crooked eyes or mouth, Liu Deng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old minister, what's going on?"
Zhang Tu let out a long breath and asked weakly.
"It's okay, it's okay! You all get out of the way! Mr. Taifu, you were too excited just now and fainted with excitement. Wait a while and Dr. Wang will come. Let him prescribe some medicine for you and take care of it. Then Go home and rest for a while!”
In any case, for Liu Deng, Zhang Tu's support is still indispensable. After all, it is the national policy of the imperial court to send tutors to assist princes and kings in governing the country.
If Zhang Tu were to die like this, who knows what the Taifu who was sent to take over would be like?
"This is my fault, but it worries the king! It's just that the output of this fragrance is so amazing. I was so excited that I couldn't be happier..."
Zhang Tu was still a little embarrassed, and Liu Deng could only quickly comfort him with gentle words.
"Master Taifu must have worked too hard these days. I think it's better to do this. There hasn't been anything major happening recently. Master Taifu, why don't you rest for a few days? The affairs of the court should be left to you. Let the people below do what they do!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. This auspicious promotion must be put on the agenda. We really don't have much food in the warehouse. Even if we include summer harvest and autumn harvest, it will only last until next spring at most!"
If anyone was to say who knew the little bit of family wealth he had brought with him, it was of course Zhang Tu. How much stock there was in Daiguo's treasury was all in the old man's mind.
"Damn Liu Bi!"
When he thought of this, Liu Deng couldn't help but curse.
If it weren't for Wu Wang Liu Bi, why would Liu Deng be in such a mess? They really have a lot of copper coins in their hands now, but they can't buy food.
Several major princes and kings have extended the blockade of the Dai Kingdom to the extreme. In these days, some businessmen from other countries have even had their homes confiscated for illegally transporting grain into the Dai Kingdom.
After hearing about this incident, even Liu Deng felt itchy with hatred, but there was nothing he could do against those people.
After all, the princes and kings each rule their own country. This is the rule sworn by Liu Bang, the little master of deception, when he killed the Ma League.
Not to mention Liu Deng, even the emperor has no good way to deal with them now. These princes and kings now have strong soldiers and horses. They want money, food, and soldiers. If we really give them If you are annoyed, even the emperor will be unable to eat and walk around.
"Okay, anyway, things can't be done in one day. Master Taifu, please go back and rest today. Let the people below handle the matters here! Come and send Master Taifu back!"
Seeing that he could not persuade this stubborn old man, Liu Deng said no more. Anyway, let the old man take it easy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"
Zhang Tu was now so weak that he could barely stand up, but his legs were shaking all the time. Seeing that he really couldn't do anything today, he apologized and went home directly.
After Zhang Tu left, everyone's eyes were fixed on Liu Deng, who looked like a little wolf dog waiting to be fed.
"You all understand the rules. If anyone dares to talk nonsense after returning home, I don't need to say more about the punishment, right?"
The way to employ people is to show kindness and power at the same time. Before giving kindness, you have to show your authority no matter what, right?
Although these people are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they should be very clear about the rules set by Liu Deng.
However, this matter is of great importance, and Liu Deng does not want this news to spread out of the country in a short period of time, so he still needs to beat what should be beaten.
"promise!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, everyone was shocked.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period. They covered these sweet potatoes with black cloth and sent them to the secret warehouse for safe storage. Everyone has a three-day holiday. They will be rewarded with hundreds of coins and promoted to the third level. You will go directly to the store later. Go to the palace steward to collect the reward, and we will meet here three days later!"
"Long live the king!"
"Long live the king!"
"Long live the king!"
The guards were all overjoyed, and everyone burst into smiles.
In any case, these people have valuable planting experience, and they have watched these sweet potatoes grow little by little from beginning to end.
They probably have an idea of how to plant it.
This army will be victorious in the near future. When Su Jian and Zou Yang return, sweet potato promotion should be put on the agenda.
These people were able to attack them at that time, and Liu Deng was able to take this opportunity to pull out the old, weak, sick and disabled among the original veterans of Dai State and let them start farming.
On the one hand, they should retain their military status so that they can continue to enjoy the support of the country. On the other hand, after excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, it was time for Liu Deng to start drastic reforms.
In today's age where everything is about the size of your fist, if you want to live a good life, you must have an army that can conquer every attack and win every battle.
After all, it is extremely difficult to achieve anything with only those 50,000 new troops.
