Today's wheat seems to have the same properties as potatoes and sweet potatoes in the past.
But sweet potatoes and potatoes, which were more influential and sensational, did not cause any village fights in the end, at least not worth mentioning.
Under such a premise, Sun Simiao naturally couldn't understand it.
When I later visited Qiongzhou Island and had a drink with Li Sheng, I was still puzzled.
However, when Sun Simiao asked about this, Li Sheng shrugged and waved his hand.
"What's so strange about this?"
"This is normal!"
"Is this normal?"
As soon as Li Sheng finished speaking, Sun Simiao felt a little dizzy - how could this be normal? This is all a fight, okay?
"Isn't it a bit childish to say this, Master?" Sun Simiao became a little anxious, "Several of them were seriously injured, and I personally treated them. How can we call them justice if their lives are at stake?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Sun, you misunderstood. I didn't say fighting is normal. I meant fighting over wheat. This is normal!"
Sun Simiao couldn't help but be startled. "This wheat will never die."
Halfway through his words, Sun Simiao's own voice also became softer, despite the huge age gap.
In Sun Simiao's heart, the young man in front of him has always been his mentor!
Since the teacher said this is reasonable, then it seems to be true. How can I say more when I am practicing the disciple ceremony?
But Sun Simiao's decades of experience in the world still told him that this matter was not that simple.
Because even if the introduced wheat is rare, the total amount is only so much. The two villages fought and bled over this, but even if they took all the wheat seeds to their own village, they would not be able to grow that much. It can be said that,
If we can increase production and income by 30% to 50%, that's pretty much it.
Is it just this level that requires causing trouble to the point of killing people?
Although his background was not bad, and as a miracle doctor, Sun Simiao had no worries about food and drink for a long time, but Sun Simiao also understood the sufferings of the people, after all, he had traveled around the world for so many years.
But at the same time, Sun Simiao was not the kind of young man who occasionally went to the countryside. Instead, he really stayed in the countryside all year round. Not to mention ordinary farmers, even the poorer Orion drug farmers themselves were not untouched.
Yes - but precisely because of the contact, Sun Simiao also knew that for ordinary people, no one would be willing to take lives for such a level of benefit.
But then, Li Sheng smiled and said, "Normally speaking, it's just the wheat itself and farming itself, which of course won't lead to fighting in the villages."
"But if the villagers are relatively wealthy, they will start fighting because the nature has changed."
"ah?"
Sun Simiao screamed in surprise on the spot, and his mind went back and forth a thousand times - he thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out.
Listening to Li Sheng's words, the fight is not because of poverty, but because of wealth?
After thinking about it, Sun Simiao frowned and said, "These villages are not very wealthy. Besides, the warehouses are honest and know the etiquette. How can there be a reason for fighting because of the wealth?"
"Who said there isn't one?" As soon as Sun Simiao said this, Li Sheng was speechless - female worker in the textile factory, pouring milk, but these allusions or big pits, he had done it overtly and covertly before, and it was so big
The capital of Tang Dynasty has been bypassed, but the reason is not difficult to explain. "Mr. Sun, why don't you think about it, is there really any difference between the farmers in the countryside and the rich households in the big cities in various states and counties?"
"How can this be the same?"
Sun Simiao suddenly felt that it was outrageous. Among all the people in the world, these were the two most different people. Of course, then again, it was precisely because the heroes at the bottom couldn't get along that China had been fighting wars for hundreds of years.
Finally, the matter was settled through the imperial examination system.
Can this be the same?
After thinking about it, Sun Simiao couldn't help but express his opinion, which was the previous example when sweet potatoes and potatoes came out. But when he heard this example, Li Sheng not only did not look embarrassed, but the smile on his face became more and more radiant.
"Look, Mr. Sun, you have hit the key point. Who were the first people who tried to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes before? They were hungry people who fled famine to Chang'an. The refugees who fled famine were all under the control of the imperial army when they arrived in Chang'an, so naturally no one could fight with them. Besides,
Such a group of people suddenly have something to eat."
"The Holy King said."
Sun Simiao's eyes suddenly felt something astonishing, "These hungry people actually became unruly people after receiving food?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what a cunning person, why do you speak so unpleasantly?"
Li Sheng hurriedly waved his hand again, "Of course we can't call them unruly people - wherever there are unruly people, there are good people. Tell me who is so special and a good person?"
"this."
Sun Simiao was stunned by Li Sheng's words. For a moment, he didn't even know what Li Sheng was attacking - but his words were clearly scornful.
"This is human nature, okay. When you don't have enough to eat, having potatoes and sweet potatoes is not the key to not fighting. It's not the key to have the imperial guards threatening a fight. The key is that the guards are watching, so all the victims know
How much you can eat is the key - but when you are full in the past two years, the extra food is no longer food. This thing is called surplus value."
"remaining value?"
Sun Simiao nodded confusedly - these four words are undoubtedly novel, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that they are not that novel and are very simple - these are the remaining grains!
However, even though he said that, Sun Simiao still had a strange feeling, because he seemed to have never heard such a novel but such a simple word from Li Sheng. However, although the meaning was simple, it seemed that there was something different in it.
There is a feeling that there is something in the words.
But Sun Simiao couldn't think of the specific words at once, but fortunately Li Sheng said it next.
"If grain is just grain, then it is grain. The only difference is whether the uneaten part is used to raise chickens or pigs. But since it can be used to raise pigs and chickens, it can be sold for money.
.Since I can sell it for money, can I still buy land?"
When Li Sheng said this, Sun Simiao suddenly understood before he could say anything else.
"So that's it! This is a blessing from His Highness the Holy King!"
"Okay, okay, what's the point of this? Eat food, eat food."
Li Sheng waved his hand, but he didn't force his modesty to speak sincerely - because in his own era, there were basically no fights in the countryside to grab water wells, but there were still fights to grab river sand, mines and other things, then
