Cautious Fusu! Rewards are distributed, good guys will get whatever they lack!
Chapter 166 Cautious Fusu! Rewards are distributed, good guys will get whatever they lack!
When Fusu heard Lin Xuan's words, his face became slightly solemn, "The preparation the teacher mentioned is to deal with those salt merchants?"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words, "The salt shop opened by the young master's confidant has sold a lot of fine salt in the past two days."
“Fine salt not only tastes delicious, it’s also cheap.”
"The master has made another rule. Within a month, soldiers and their families will be given a jar of salt as a gift if they buy salt."
"This news must have spread throughout Xianyang City, and even started to spread to other cities in Daqin."
"The business of those salt shopkeepers in Xianyang Chengxi City and the salt merchants behind them must be very poor now."
"When these salt merchants know the reason, they will definitely find a way to destroy the salt shop opened by the young master."
"Even the fine salt sold by the prince's confidants is targeted by these salt merchants."
"These salt merchants want to get their hands on the refining method of fine salt, so that they can sell fine salt at a high price."
Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.
There was a hint of coldness on Fusu's face when he heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said: "Teacher, don't worry."
"When the students asked their confidants to open a salt shop two days ago, they were already prepared."
"If these salt merchants were sensible, students wouldn't care about them."
"If they have any thoughts about the teacher's finesse, the students will definitely make them regret doing so."
After Fusu finished speaking, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Lin Xuan had a look of satisfaction on his face when he heard Fusu's words. In Lin Xuan's opinion, he treated these black-hearted salt merchants.
Any means is not too much, not to mention the backgrounds of these salt merchants are not simple.
Lin Xuan was even idle, and there were even former nobles from the Six Kingdoms behind these salt merchants.
The original nobles of the Six Nations in Xianyang City still have a lot of money.
The Six Kingdoms have been wiped out, but these people still have so much money, which is probably the money brought by salt.
Xiao He sat aside and drank wine with a smile on his face.
If these salt merchants dare to cause trouble to Mr. Fusu's confidants, they themselves will suffer.
Xiao He even thought that if he had time, he would like to see how miserable these black-hearted salt merchants would be.
"Selling fine salt is a big deal. The students still have some things to do, so I won't bother the teacher."
Fusu watched Lin Xuan salute and then turned to leave.
Lin Xuan, the teacher just now, mentioned those salt merchants again, although Fusu was already prepared.
He decided to take another look to see if he was fully prepared, lest these black-hearted salt merchants take advantage of him.
"I have to deal with the imperial examination matters, so I won't disturb Brother Lin Xuan."
Xiao He also stood up and looked at Lin Xuan to salute. The imperial examination would begin in the county seat immediately.
As the chief invigilator, he must be fully prepared for the first battle.
If we don't do a good job in the first battle, we will not only disappoint His Majesty.
Other ministers who hate Fusu will also use his mistakes to attack Mr. Fusu.
Xiao He will not let such a thing happen. He will fight the first battle of the imperial examination and let His Majesty and other ministers know.
He, the chief invigilator, is capable.
Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Xiao He leaving with a smile on his face.
Everything in Daqin is developing in a good direction, and the cheap and delicious fine salt makes the people feel satisfied with their lives.
If the people are satisfied, there will be no problems in Da Qin.
The imperial examination is about to begin, and it is also selecting talents for the Qin Dynasty to destroy the structure of the DPRK and China.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
He suddenly thought that before he could check the reward he received from the system, he was disturbed by the arrival of Fusu and Xiao He.
Now that I am the only one left in the garden, I can check the rewards of the system.
Lin Xuan opened the system's rewards in his mind, and two small packages appeared in front of him.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for getting potato seeds!" "Congratulations to the host for getting corn seeds!"
Lin Xuan was stunned when he heard the system's voice in his mind.
After a while, Lin Xuan reacted, with excitement on his face.
What he had been waiting for for a long time, the system finally gave him today.
Although Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the rewards given by the system for completing the system's tasks the first few times.
But what he wants most are potato seeds and corn seeds. Food is fundamental to Da Qin.
Both the people and the soldiers in the army need food.
If the people have no food to eat, there may be riots.
Without food, soldiers had to fight on an empty stomach.
Although the national treasury is no longer empty, the taxes paid by the people have become less. There is a surplus of food at home, and the soldiers on the border also have enough food.
Once the weather is not good, it will not rain for a long time.
There is only one harvest of wheat, wheat, and rice in a year, and there may be no harvest.
Now there are potato seeds and corn seeds, which do not require as much rain as wheat and rice.
Even if the weather is bad, it can still form usable food.
What's more important is that mature potatoes and corn are more convenient to store.
Especially in the army, the withdrawal of food is more important. People and horses go first before using food and grass.
The first thing consumed in a war is grain and grass, so the transportation of grain and grass is a very serious problem.
If there is a rainy day, the grain and grass will be soaked by the rain and become moldy during transportation.
Food and grass would be inedible, and soldiers would have to fight on an empty stomach.
If potatoes and corn encounter rainy days during transportation, there is almost no need to worry about this problem.
There is another advantage that potatoes and corn cannot compare with, and that is portability.
Not only is it a waste of time for soldiers to light fires when they go out to fight, but the fireworks may also reveal the location of the army.
If a soldier goes out to fight, he should bring cooked potatoes and corn in advance.
There is no need to light a fire to cook along the way to save time, and there will be no fireworks exposing the army.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan had a smile on his face. The reward given by the system this time was really generous.
Lin Xuan opened the two packages and looked at the seeds inside, and the system's voice sounded in his mind again.
Hearing the system reminder again, the corners of Lin Xuan's mouth raised slightly.
The corn seeds and potato seeds in the package in front of me have been systematically improved.
Mature corn and potatoes can mature twice a year.
The peeled corn kernels can be used as seeds, which can be planted on the ground to produce corn again.
Cut potatoes into pieces and plant them on the ground to produce potatoes.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the news. He looked at the two packages in front of him and pondered slightly.
At present, the food in Da Qin is still cereals, wheat and rice, and corn and potatoes have not yet appeared.
It would not be convincing if he handed the two seeds to Fusu himself.
Lin Xuan remembered that Fusu's mansion had a lot of open space, so he could plant potato seeds and corn seeds on the ground.
Wait until the corn and potatoes are ripe and let Fusu see the ripe corn and potatoes.
By then Fusu would know the advantages of corn and potatoes, and Fusu told the First Emperor about these two grains.
The First Emperor valued food very much, and he must be very happy to see these two kinds of food.
In this way, Fusu has made great achievements again, which is what Lin Xuan hopes to see.
Lin Xuan glanced at the direction of the garden entrance and helped Su prepare the salt-related matters.
When Fusu returned to his house, Lin Xuan asked Fusu to prepare a piece of land for him to grow potatoes and corn at his house.
