So he soon started his first adventure! On this day, he packed the carefully selected sweet potato vines and put them in the box containing the goods. The sweet potato vines were mixed with the goods, and they would not be discovered unless they looked carefully.
.
When the sweet potato vine passed through the border, Chen Zhenlong took a deep breath and felt relieved. However, during the transportation process, the box was suddenly knocked over by a pedestrian, and the contents rolled out. The sharp-eyed staff suddenly
Then I discovered the sweet potato vine.
Chen Zhenlong suddenly realized that he had picked it up on the roadside and thought it was a rope. He originally wanted to use it to tie goods. The staff saw that he was sincere and gave him a verbal warning and a fine, so they let him go.
After the adventure failed, Chen Zhenlong was unwilling to accept it and began to plan a second one. This time he was well prepared and bought 10 pots of flowers in advance, and then placed the flowers in a basket made of sweet potato vines. The stems and leaves of the flowers were similar to those of the sweet potato.
The vines are intertwined, and at first glance, they look natural. Chen Zhenlong felt that he would definitely pass this time.
But he was still careless! He didn't expect that the inspector took out every pot of flowers and inspected them, and in the end only a sweet potato basket was left. So this time he couldn't explain himself, and not only was he fined, but he was also arrested
He got up. Later, he was able to escape with the help of his friends.
After failing twice in a row, Chen Zhenlong was very frustrated, but he decided to try again. Instead of going home and starving to death, he might as well give it a try!
At the same time, he also realized that it was not easy to bring sweet potato vines back to China. He quickly summarized the reasons for the failure and came up with a foolproof strategy.
Chen Zhenlong discovered that the sweet potato vine was very similar to the hemp rope on merchant ships. If it was dyed with the same color, it could completely deceive others. He bought a sweet potato vine for 300 yuan, cut off the leaves, entangled it with the hemp rope, and put it on top.
Covered with mud.
As expected, this time he successfully escaped the strict investigation, and Sweet Potato Vine returned by boat with Chen Zhenlong. When the merchant ship sailed out of the Philippines, he finally let go of his hanging heart and let out a sigh of relief! Tears filled his eyes with excitement.
.
Then he hurriedly took down the sweet potato vine and soaked it in the water, fearing that it would wither. As soon as the boat docked, Chen Zhenlong ran all the way back home and planted the sweet potato vine into the soil. After more than three months of careful care, the sweet potato vine had already
Crawling all over the yard.
When he dug it out, he was dumbfounded. The fruits were thin and small, not like those seen in the Philippines. After research, Chen Zhenlong found that it turned out that the soil was too hard, which hindered the normal growth of sweet potatoes.
However, Chen Zhenlong firmly believed that he would be able to grow big and sweet sweet potatoes. He began to ask his son to loosen the soil and fertilize the sweet potatoes regularly. His hard work paid off and the planting was finally successful.
Under the leadership of Chen Zhenlong, people in eight villages soon began to grow sweet potatoes, which greatly alleviated people's hunger problem. People found that the surface of the dug sweet potatoes was red and very festive, so they renamed it "sweet potato". In some places
Also called "sweet potato", "red potato" and "sweet potato".
Later, someone brought sweet potatoes to Shandong and promoted them. Soon, sweet potatoes were planted throughout the Central Plains. Later, sweet potatoes spread throughout the country.
As a businessman, Chen Zhenlong, with a great love for saving the country and the people, risked his own life to introduce sweet potatoes from the Philippines to China, saving countless Chinese people. He is a well-deserved hero. Moreover, after the food crisis, the country's population has also been greatly improved.
The population grew rapidly, and the population exceeded 100 million for the first time.
Later, in order to thank Chen Zhenlong for his life-saving grace, someone built the "Xianshu Pavilion" and "Xianshu Temple" in Wushi Mountain, Fuzhou to commemorate him. People often say that when you eat rice, you will not forget Yuan Longping. Now you can add another sentence, eat rice
Don’t forget Chen Zhenlong.
Now that Liu Haojia is here, Chen Zhenlong's honor is gone! Moreover, after Liu Haojia got the sweet potatoes, he specially sent them to Shaanxi, Shanxi and other areas to try planting. He also specially bought two farms there and designated the farmers to grow sweet potatoes. Anyway, he also
There is no rush to promote it, he believes that in another ten years, this kind of thing will naturally spread.
It was close to the end of the year when Liu Haojia started to deal with these things. His family was preparing to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Before returning to the capital, he even made a special trip to the streets. But when he went to see it now, it was different from before!
Now the east side of Tianjin has completely grown into a large-scale one. The original dumbbell-shaped layout has been completely transformed into a long strip. On both sides of the road between Tianjin County and the fiefdom, many houses and shops have been built, and the population is even denser.
Liu Haojia was also quite surprised when he saw what he saw in front of him!
He had heard from reports from various places that Tianjin Chengdong had changed greatly, but he had not yet had an intuitive impression. Now in his actual view, Tianjin Chengdong has almost become the new center of Tianjin!
The biggest problem now is that there is only one city gate in the east of the city, which seriously hinders the flow of people and goods. Now many people no longer plan to pass through the city, but go directly around Tianjin County, which may be faster!
Seeing this situation, Liu Haojia said directly to the county magistrate following him: "Are the shops and residential buildings on both sides of the road planned?"
Now the county magistrate was Liu Haojia's agent. When he heard the question, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou. According to Mr. Hou's rules, the drawings are reviewed first before the land is allowed to be sold and built. The shops and residences on both sides are
All are reported to the county government."
Liu Haojia said: "Of course I know about this. What I mean is, have you been on the Yellow Book?"
The county magistrate even nodded and said: "Up, up! Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I don't dare to do anything about this kind of thing!"
Liu Haojia said: "Of course you are not willing to do anything, because you are afraid that the people under you are not clean and will fool you!"
The county magistrate gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou! Ever since I received the teachings from Mr. Hou, I have also attached great importance to communicating with the subordinates. The things below cannot be hidden from the officials!" 33??qxs??.????

Liu Haojia heard this and said with satisfaction: "Very good, keep this state and you will have a bright future in the future!"
The county magistrate and the county magistrate looked at each other with a wry smile after hearing this. The two of them had been abandoned by the scholars because they had joined Liu Haojia's family! The scholars thought that they were flattering warriors and had no integrity! Nowadays, except for some people here in Tianjin
The merchants still have some friendship with them, but there is no human relationship at all!
Because people in Shilin thought that the two of them were shameless people, they disdained to interact with each other. Even when they returned to the capital, no one entertained or entertained them. Life was very frustrating! But being an official in Tianjin is very fat.
Damn! And Liu Haojia promised to recommend them to Emperor Wanli in the future, so they could only grit their teeth!
