"You little girl really don't trust people. Aren't there just sweet potato fields outside? The one under the big willow tree is my family's land! Just dig it boldly. As long as you don't waste it, it's mine. I’ll treat you to something to eat today!”
Seeing such suspicion, the man looked at Liu Deng angrily.
If it weren't for the gorgeous clothes Liu Deng was wearing, the man would probably have started to say nasty things at this time.
"Thank you so much, brother. I also want to see how magical this thing is! But I don't want to be rude. I think the children in the brother's family are also studying, right? I didn't bring anything else with me when I came out today. Give this book to your children as a gift!”
While Liu Deng was speaking, he reached out and took out a book "A Preliminary Solution to Arithmetic" from his arms.
This is a teaching material that he spent a lot of effort to come up with. He was originally planning to teach this stuff to students in the academy.
Although this thing is only at the level of fifth grade elementary school in later generations, in this day and age, if you can reach this level, you can already be an official.
"How do you make this? It's just a few sweet potatoes, which are worthless. When the government sold them last year, they only cost a few pennies and a stone! Master, you should take these things back, right?"
Although a trace of desire flashed in the strong man's eyes, he still refused directly.
"There is never a reason to take back the things I give away. As the saying goes, give me papayas and give back Qiongju. My eldest brother gave me sweet potatoes. I gave him a book. If it is spread out in the future, it will be regarded as a good talk. Let The baby at home is very good at learning, if he can learn it, when he grows up, I guarantee that he can be admitted to Wenchang Academy!"
This textbook has been in Liu Deng's arms for a long time. In fact, it is already the third edition. He will take it out and read it when he has nothing to do recently.
On the one hand, it is to proofread the content, and on the other hand, it is also to check whether the students can understand the book written in vernacular.
"That's right, big brother, just accept it! You can't buy the books my young master sent you outside!"
Shunzi also hurriedly smiled and said?
"Then thank you very much, sir. I have to thank you for the unsatisfactory baby at home!"
After the strong man finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Liu Deng and then took the book from Liu Deng's hand.
After taking it over, he flipped through the content on it. He probably couldn't understand it, but he still carefully reached out and handed it to his mother-in-law.
It was also the first time that the woman received such a gift, and she quickly took a clean piece of furoshiki from the side.
He carefully wrapped the book and put it into the basket next to it.
After putting it in the basket, I seemed to think of Shunzi's words again, and felt a little uneasy. After hesitating for a while, I actually stuffed it directly into my arms, and then carried it close to my body.
During the whole process, he was as cautious as if he had obtained some rare treasure and was afraid of damaging it.
"You idiot, you are all a noble man. Where have you ever done such farm work? Why don't you go quickly?"
After putting away the book, the woman hurriedly pushed her husband next to her.
The strong man woke up from a dream, touched his head with some embarrassment, then picked up a hoe and walked towards the sweet potato field.
Princess Yana hesitated for a moment, but still followed the man stubbornly.
However, Liu Deng's movements were much more elegant. After bowing his hands to several people, he followed Princess Yana and walked over.
"Wait a minute, I'll choose!"
Looking at Princess Yana's sly eyes, Liu Deng smiled behind him, but didn't say much.
He also wanted to take a look at what the output would be like this year.
For Liu Deng's sake, the man didn't say much, he just smiled and let Princess Yana choose.
Finally she found a sweet potato plant with yellow branches and leaves, and she pointed at it with a smile.
The man didn't say much. He waved his hoe and started digging. As soon as he dug the hoe, a sweet potato the size of a human head appeared in front of him.
Princess Yana's eyes suddenly changed. The man didn't see the change in her eyes and just waved his hoe.
After a while, three sweet potatoes the size of human heads appeared in front of her, followed immediately by a bunch of fist-sized sweet potatoes. Although I didn't count them carefully, there were seven or eight in number.
"The yield of this kind of thing is really incredible! This acre of land would probably cost dozens or hundreds of dan!"
The man looked at the sweet potatoes on the ground and couldn't help but sigh.
Only this thing with such an exaggerated output can support big eaters like cattle and sheep.
"Is this thing really edible?"
Princess Yana was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, don't bother me here. Thank you so much! The servants in the family are ignorant and made me laugh!"
Seeing Princess Yana's reluctance, Liu Deng shook his head angrily.
"It doesn't matter. This is the first time this foreigner has seen this thing. It can be eaten boiled, stir-fried or steamed. It's also okay to eat it raw!"
After the man finished speaking, he fisted Liu Deng and then turned away.
"Let's have this for lunch today! Shunzi, carry these things to the carriage!"
Liu Deng didn't say anything, he just walked forward minding his own business.
Princess Yana was stunned for a moment, but she followed quickly.
"Have you known this for a long time?"
After a moment of silence, Princess Yana asked.
"This thing has been promoted since last year, and after this year it is expected to be promoted to the entire Han Dynasty!"
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment and then said truthfully.
"You Han people are already so wealthy, why do you still have to stare at the barren grassland! Can't you leave a way for us Huns to survive?"
Princess Yana suddenly said angrily.
"You have figured it out, it's not that the Han people don't give you Huns a way to survive, it's that you come here every once in a while to rob!"
Liu Deng suddenly stopped, then looked at Princess Yana seriously and said.
"you!"
Although Princess Yana was angry, she was speechless because what Liu Deng said was indeed the truth.
At this moment, she completely lost any sense of luck. With such endless food and such destructive weapons, what could the Huns use to fight the Han people?
As long as they want, they can even fight to the end of the world...
And where is the way out for the Huns?
Could it be that the Huns could only be slaves to the Han people?
However, given the deep hatred between the Han and Huns, I am afraid that even if the Huns are willing to be slaves, the Han people may not be willing to accept it...
"You always have to pay back when you come out to hang out. The Han people have been silent for too long. It's time to come out of the East! It is the misfortune of the Huns to form a blood feud with such a nation. You don't have to waste your efforts here! "
Liu Deng closed his eyes and said quietly...
"Zeng Zi said: A scholar must be ambitious and carry out a heavy responsibility. Isn't it too important to be far-reaching and benevolent? Isn't it too far-fetched to do it after death?"
Listening to the sound of reading in the distance, Liu Deng felt peaceful...
