"Well, Liu Mang, if you press your fingerprint here, you can borrow these five hundred coins~!"
Hanjiazhuang, Hanjiazhuang.
There was a long queue in the courtyard. Han Li was setting up a table in the courtyard, and there was a middle-aged scribe standing next to him. At this moment, Han Li was smiling and talking to the dark man in coarse linen clothes in front of him.
This man was Liujiazhuang Huzi's father, the man who came to borrow money after making a lot of determination, but ended up forgetting to bring the hens. But even if you take it, it will be in vain, because Han Li will not accept it.
"Hey! I'll press it now!"
Liu Mang didn't even look at the content on the piece of paper. He responded, biting his thumb without hesitation and stamping a bright red fingerprint on it.
Everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knew about Han Lizheng's character, so Liu Mang was not worried about Han Lizheng cheating him with his words. Besides, even if he didn't trust Han Lizheng, how could he not trust Li Zexuan? After all, Han Lizheng was helping Li Zexuan.
"Okay! This is five hundred wen, please order it carefully~!"
Han Lizheng nodded, took out a bunch of copper coins from the wooden box behind him, handed it over, and said.
Liu Mang took it with both hands and wanted to count it, but was a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Han Li smiled and said: "Haha, it's best to count the copper coins in person to avoid misunderstandings later~"
"Thank you Han Lizheng~!"
Liu Mang was moved and moved two steps to the left to let the team out. Then he stood by and counted the copper coins in front of them.
Han Li was shouting: "Next one~!"
A young man in his twenties came over.
Han Li was looking a little unfamiliar, so he asked: "Little brother, which village are you from~?"
"Han Lizheng, my name is Wang Qingyuan, and I live in Wangjiazhuang, Shilipo! Last month our village was merged into the Marquis' fiefdom~!"
The young man replied quickly.
Han Li was looking at the middle-aged scribe next to him when he saw the scribe opened the book on the table to a certain page. After looking at it for a moment, he nodded and said, "There is indeed such a person in Wangjiazhuang~!"
Han Lizheng nodded and asked the young man: "Well, Wang Qingyuan, how much do you want to borrow? Why did you borrow the money?"
Wang Qingyuan replied: "Han Lizheng, I...I want to borrow five hundred yuan, and I...I also want to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables~!"
Han Lizheng nodded, took out a piece of paper with paperwork, and said, "Like Liu Mang, put your fingerprint here!"
"Hey! I understand!"
Wang Qingyuan said excitedly.
At this time, Liu Mang next to him had already counted the copper coins. He scratched his head and asked a little embarrassedly: "Han Lizheng, how should I build this greenhouse? I want to learn from it~"
With this "heavy" five hundred coins, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart. He thought that if he couldn't grow vegetables, then their family would be completely ruined. His son might not even be able to eat, let alone go to school. There is a problem, so before building a greenhouse, you must learn the technology carefully, otherwise the five hundred borrowed money will be wasted!
"Yes! Han Lizheng, where should we learn how to build a greenhouse?"
Others also looked here. The question Liu Mang asked was exactly what they wanted to ask. Those who were determined to borrow money actually wanted to use this opportunity to grow vegetables in greenhouses to completely improve themselves. Given the family situation, no one wants to grow vegetables in their own greenhouse.
Han Lizheng raised his head and said to everyone: "If you want to learn how to build a greenhouse, after you get the money later, I can take you to Lao Hu's house to see. They have already built a greenhouse. If you have any questions then, If you understand, be sure to ask on the spot, Lao Hu will also teach you some vegetable growing techniques, if you want to learn, you can wait for a while!"
Liu Mang grinned and said: "Hey! That's OK! I'll be waiting next to you for a while. Thank you Han Lizheng!"
"Yo~! There are so many people!"
At this time, Li Zexuan walked in from outside the courtyard, looked at the long queue in the courtyard, and said in surprise.
In the afternoon, after seeing off his old uncle, he was thinking about the situation in the village, so he rushed over immediately. For many people, things like greenhouse vegetables depended on their family's livelihood. If he didn't come over to give personal guidance, what would happen if something went wrong? If something goes wrong, the sin will be huge!
"Master Hou? Master Hou is here!"
"I've met the Marquis!"
"I've met the Marquis!"
Among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zexuan was relatively down-to-earth. He often dealt with the people at the bottom, so many people recognized Li Zexuan. As soon as he entered the door, many people recognized him, and the people in the team immediately recognized him. He became excited and quickly saluted enthusiastically.
Li Zexuan nodded his greetings and walked to the front of the team. The middle-aged scribe from before hurriedly straightened his clothes and quickly came over to salute and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shihai, has met the Marquis!"
"Yuan Shikai?"
Li Zexuan was stunned subconsciously, thinking it couldn't be such a coincidence, right? Actually met a Yuan Datou in the Tang Dynasty?
The middle-aged scribe looked embarrassed and said cautiously: "Master Hou, that... this subordinate is named Yuan Shihai, not Yuan Shikai!"
At this time, Han Li was saying something to Wang Qingyuan who had done his fingerprints, and handed over a sling of copper coins. He quickly came over and said, "Xiaoxuan, this is Yuan County Cheng from the county government. I'm inviting him here today." If you want to be a witness, this is safer!”
Li Zexuan suddenly realized that he had also heard that in ancient times, it was often necessary to find a highly respected middleman to be a witness when doing things. Generally, people like to ask the county government officials to do notarization when doing things. In this way, it is easier to file a lawsuit after something goes wrong. I have to say , His father-in-law considers things very carefully.
At this time, he also knew that he had just heard the wrong name, so he apologized and said: "It turns out to be Yuan County Cheng! I was not paying attention just now and heard the wrong name. I am really sorry! Yuan County Cheng, please forgive me!"
Yuan Shihai quickly waved his hand and said: "Master Hou, you are serious! You made the mistake unintentionally, and I didn't even take it to heart!"
Li Zexuan nodded and smiled: "That's good!"
Then he looked at Han Lizheng and asked, "Father-in-law, how many people have come to borrow money?"
Han Lizheng replied: "More than 70 households have come to borrow money in the morning. Looking at the situation in the afternoon, there should be close to 200 households coming to borrow money today!"
Li Zexuan was shocked. He didn't expect that there were so many farmers who couldn't afford to build greenhouses. Fortunately, his father-in-law reminded him, otherwise according to the previous policy, many people would probably be unable to build greenhouses even if they wanted to. Weakhearted.
"Well, father-in-law, can you arrange for farmers to be trained on how to build greenhouses and grow vegetables?"
Li Zexuan asked again.
Han Lizheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's arranged! I will take them to Lao Hu's house in a while. A greenhouse has been set up there. I will take them to see the scene! The bankers who came to receive the money in the morning, I have told them before that they should go to Lao Hu’s house in the afternoon!”
Li Zexuan felt a little at ease. He looked at the wooden table in the courtyard and the big box containing copper coins. He turned around and said to Pang Feiji: "Feiji, you go to Yanhuang Academy now and ask Li Tai, Meng Wenhao, and Tiedan , Ke Shiqing and the four of them come over, just wait here!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Pang Feiji clasped his fists to accept the order and immediately turned around and left.
Han Lizheng didn't know why and asked: "Xiaoxuan, you..."
Li Zexuan said: "Father-in-law, there are so many bankers, you can't handle it alone. Tiedan and the others will come over soon to help you count and distribute money! Now you can take the bankers with me to visit Uncle Hu's house. Uncle Hu If there are any omissions, I can correct them~!"
When Han Lizheng heard this, he thought it made sense and said, "Okay! Let's go take a look first!"
After that, he greeted the bankers and planned to go to Lao Hu's house with Li Zexuan. Yuan Shihai next to him suddenly didn't know what to do. Let's go. Li Zexuan didn't invite him. Don't go. What would it be like for him to stay here alone? thing? What's more, there is still a pile of "huge sums of money" piled in the yard! If Qi Guan Ba Guan is missing, where will he go to reason?
"Yuan County Cheng, if you are willing, then come with us!"
Fortunately, Li Zexuan did not forget him. Yuan Shihai quickly said: "Yes, yes, of course yes!"
However, the farmers are somewhat reluctant. They are afraid that Yuan Shihai will follow his master and learn the techniques of greenhouse vegetables and pass them on to people from other villages.
It's just that the technology of greenhouse vegetables belongs to Li Zexuan, and Li Zexuan didn't say anything. Naturally, they were not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, so they could only keep their reluctance in their hearts.
In fact, Li Zexuan is not worried about technology leaks, because he has no intention of monopolizing the greenhouse vegetable business from the beginning, otherwise he would not teach this technology to farmers.
He just wants his farmers to be the first batch of greenhouse vegetable growers and the first people to taste the sweetness of greenhouse vegetables. This technique is reasonable and not difficult to learn. After a period of time, people from other farms or others will learn it. It is inevitable that other dignitaries will learn from this.
If he wanted to avoid leaking it, he shouldn't have disclosed this technique in the first place, since he planned to teach it to bankers. That will surely leak out one day. But the good thing is that there are basically no out-of-season vegetables on the market now. Farmers under his rule can enjoy the first batch of dividends brought by greenhouse vegetables, which is also a huge profit.
As more and more people grow greenhouse vegetables in the future, the prices of greenhouse vegetables will correspondingly get lower and lower, and the profits will naturally not be as big as they are now!

"Master Hou, you are here~!"
Under the guidance of Han Lizheng, Li Zexuan and his party came to a field south of Hanjiazhuang. This field was actually on the edge of Hanjiazhuang and very close to the village. Li Zexuan did not expect that a large group of people had gathered in the field at this time, including people from Hanjiazhuang and Meicun. Liu Erye was also among them. Although the old man was old, he had very good eyes. He was the first to notice that Li Zexuan was coming. .
"Master Liu, you are always here!"
Li Zexuan smiled unexpectedly.
"Hey! Aren't you here to learn skills? Not only is Old Liu here, but people from almost every household in Plum Village are here!"
Mr. Liu said with a smile.
When Han Li was informing eight Zhuangzi that Li Zexuan was going to promote Dapeng vegetables, people from other Zhuangzi might have hesitated a little, but basically everyone from Meicun and Hanjiazhuang chose to join in without hesitation, because it was Li Zexuan. It was Li Zexuan who helped them drive away the bullies (Liu Shiren and his son) and led them to live a prosperous life today. Li Zexuan is their god in their hearts and they believe in Li Zexuan unconditionally.
These two Zhuangzi were under the jurisdiction of Li Zexuan at the beginning of this year. The people in Zhuangzi were basically relatively wealthy. When others were considering whether to build a greenhouse or where to borrow money to build a greenhouse, they had already taken action. . Most people went to the city to buy coarse cloth and tung oil this morning. As soon as they had some free time in the afternoon, they went to Lao Hu to learn skills.
"Master, you are here!"
Lao Hu, who was not far away, also quickly put down his work and ran over.
"Well, Uncle Hu, your shed is pretty good!"
Li Zexuan glanced at the greenhouses in the field and said with a smile.
Lao Hu scratched his head and said, "Hey! The greenhouse you have in the other courtyard is still a little short of the master's."
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Haha! Not bad, not bad! Uncle Hu, tell them the techniques for building this greenhouse. I'll look around to see if there are any omissions in your greenhouse!"
Lao Hu agreed wholeheartedly. This was what he had agreed upon before.
He led everyone to the edge of the shed and began to explain: "Haha, actually setting up this shed is very simple. I will tell you again, you will definitely be able to do it! If you want to build a shed like this, first... ....”
Lao Hu led the farmers into the shed and talked while walking. Li Zexuan was wandering around outside the shed. He was checking the tightness of the shed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something in the mound of soil not far from the edge of the shed. A small piece of yellow-green, and when I looked closely, I found that there was a small piece of mung bean sprout growing in the mound!
Oh, to be precise, it should be called mung bean sprouts. Those that germinate when soaked in water are called bean sprouts, and those that grow in the ground should be called bean sprouts.
"Damn! I never thought I could get bean sprouts!"
Seeing this scene, Li Zexuan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but pat his head and said sadly.
"Bean sprouts? Mr. Hou, what are bean sprouts?"
Yuan Shihai, who had just come over to talk to Li Zexuan, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this and asked.
"Oh, nothing!"
Li Zexuan came to his senses, turned to look at Yuan Shihai, and changed the subject: "Why didn't Yuan County Cheng go in together?"
Yuan Shihai smiled bitterly and said: "This method of cultivating vegetables in greenhouses was created by Lord Marquis for the farmers under his rule. As an outsider, how can I eavesdrop on the secrets?"
Li Zexuan glanced at this man in surprise. He did not expect that the county magistrate was still a gentleman.
"Haha! It's a little bit of folk art, but it can't be said to be a secret! Now that I have taken it out, I have no intention of keeping this secret forever! If Yuan Xiancheng is interested, you can go in and have a listen!"
Villains emerge from troubled times, and gentlemen emerge from prosperous times. It has to be said that since Li Zexuan traveled through time, he has met far more good people than villains. He still has a good impression of people like Yuan Shihai.
Yuan Shihai said happily: "Master Hou is very righteous! In fact, Xiaguan has been curious about how this greenhouse cultivates vegetables in winter. Since Master Hou has given permission, I will be disrespectful! But Lord Hou, don't worry, after getting permission from Master Hou, Before, I would definitely not talk nonsense like this!"
