Hearing this, all the heads of the aristocratic families couldn't help but feel completely despaired.
At the same time, a feeling of irritability subconsciously arose in my heart!
There is a vague eagerness for the honors and official positions of the Tang Dynasty.
Those titles again!
These official positions again!
Because of this, when they were faced with the auction of a troop quota for the escort team, they didn’t even think about making a bid!
Now, even when buying corn seeds, these nobles and officials of the Tang Dynasty have to be the first to do so!
I think each of them, although they are not famous scholars, but as the heads of aristocratic families, all the nobles and ministers must be polite when they see them.
As a result, now, they actually have to suffer this kind of injustice from this kind of person?
Frustrated!
As soon as I left Lijiazhuang with the large carts of belongings.
All the heads of the aristocratic families had gloomy faces and didn't say much.
Although their aristocratic families are not big aristocratic families, there has never been a time when they couldn't even give away money.
Even if it’s for those seven aristocratic families, it’s for His Majesty!
No, these aristocratic families seem to have always looked down on the Li family!
After returning, these aristocratic families no longer had the intention to continue visiting.
The next day, they packed up their things and went home.
Anyway, they have made an agreement with King Jin that after the next batch of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are harvested, some will be left for these aristocratic families.
At the same time, it takes less than a day.
What happened to these aristocratic families in Lijiazhuang spread throughout Chang'an City.
The heads of the aristocratic families who had not yet left were surprised and suspicious at first, and then they quickly ordered their servants to prepare their cars, and each took a cart full of gifts and ran to Lijiazhuang.
And those noble ministers were also full of surprise.
In the same way, he quickly ordered the housekeeper to pull up a large cart of money and ran to Lijiazhuang.
Suddenly, the square in Lijiazhuang was filled with carriages again.
There were also some carriages that couldn't be accommodated, so they had to line up one by one and stop at the roadside of the village.
And in the main reception hall of Lijiazhuang.
The distinguished ministers were sitting aside.
The heads of the aristocratic families were sitting on the other side.
In the past, these distinguished ministers would have been regarded as Dukes, Marquises, second- and third-grade ministers.
Facing these heads of aristocratic families who control the world's education, I still feel a little weak.
But now, the situation has turned around inexplicably.
The distinguished ministers are all arrogant.
As for the heads of the aristocratic families, they were all wilted.
Who knows that in their family there are no children who are high officials in the imperial court, and there are no nobles in the imperial court.
Even if they brought a cartload of property, they couldn't take away the corn seeds.
And the noble ministers sitting across from them, whom they had looked down upon in the past, only had to pay a hundred guan each to take away a hundred kilograms of corn seeds.
At this moment, the heads of these aristocratic families also realized the humiliation of the heads of the aristocratic families who had left before.
Become an official!
Must become an official!
No matter what, even if the family will attack the vassal state outside the Tang Dynasty sooner or later, it will be crowned as the king and the country will be established.
However, a large number of his own children must become officials in the court.
Moreover, you must climb into a high position, even if it is some idle official position, as long as you can be as noble as these ministers and enter the circle of the King of Jin, that's it!
Now, no head of the aristocratic family is reserved anymore.
They all understood that things would be easy to do only if there were people in the court!
If they remain reserved, within a few years, when the families behind these ministers and nobles will rise, it will be the moment when these aristocratic families will decline!
Wei Zheng, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, Duan Zhixuan and other distinguished ministers felt very comfortable.
He took out a hundred kilograms and took a hundred kilograms of corn with him, bowed respectfully to Li Xuan, and then left.
Afterwards, all the heads of the aristocratic families complimented Li Xuan for a long time with bitter expressions on their faces, and then left with expressions of reluctance.
Six stones of grain per mu!
Moreover, there are potatoes with a yield of seven shi per mu and sweet potatoes with a yield of 12 shi per mu!
Whichever family can get these a year earlier will be able to take advantage of the opportunity and become stronger.
On the contrary, although it will not decline, it will definitely be of no benefit.
The Tang Dynasty was so big, but there were so many aristocratic families?
But the seeds of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are only so small.
Even if the King of Jin tried his best to promote it and His Majesty ordered Sinong Temple to do its best to promote it, it would take at least five years to fully implement it in the Tang Dynasty!
They definitely can't wait for that time!
At least, no one in their family could serve as a minister or be a noble person in the court!
When it comes to important matters like growing a family, no aristocratic family will take into account other aristocratic families, no matter how good the relationship is!
Therefore, Li Xuan stayed in the main hall of the other courtyard for two consecutive days and received batch after batch of aristocratic families.
I reluctantly refused, and carload after carload of belongings came to my door.
"I regret that when I came back, I gave His Majesty so many more sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns! If they were all planted in Lijiazhuang, how much could I sell them for?"
On the side, Li Chang looked helpless.
I thought, if you don't pay so much attention, it's not impossible to just accept the property sent by those aristocratic families as a deposit!
However, he still said slowly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns on His Royal Highness's farm, as well as Cheng Xiaolang, Fang Xiaolang, and others have begun to be harvested in the past few days.
When those aristocratic families heard the news, they no longer came to Lijiazhuang!"
"Just in time, they are going to bother these families so that I, too, can be clean and tidy!"
Li Xuan looked happy.
Then, looking at the flames of the stove, my mind inexplicably thought of a cup of delicious food that was golden and exuded a rich and sweet aroma.
"Butler, how much sucrose is left in the village?"
"Back to your Majesty, according to the method you taught, a lot of them have been made in the forging shop, and now the manor has accumulated more than a thousand kilograms!"
Li Chang replied quickly.
"so much?"
Li Xuan was stunned.
Then, he asked again: "Where's the vegetable oil?"
"Go back to your Majesty, there should be more than two thousand kilograms of vegetable oil!"
Li Chang replied again.
"good!"
Li Xuan was so happy that he stood up and said: "Prepare a large, clean iron pot, a pound of sucrose, and two pounds of clean corn..."
"Is there any milk? Or goat's milk will do!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Although he didn't know what his king wanted all this for, Li Chang still hurriedly replied.
"In that case, prepare another pound of milk for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Li Xuan had no other instructions, Li Chang responded and walked out quickly.
Soon, all the items Li Xuan wanted were ready.
When they heard what Li Xuan was going to do, Li Baoding, Wang Xuance, and Li Chenglu all gathered around eagerly.
"Aye, what are you going to make delicious?"
"Popcorn!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand to lift Li Chenglu who was lying next to the pot a little further, and said: "You kid, keep a safe distance from me. This is my first time, so don't burn you!"
"Popcorn?"
Li Chenglu didn't care at all, but his face was full of curiosity.
"Well, you'll find out later!"
With that said, Li Xuan directly put the pot of corn into the milk on the side, and then poured the sucrose into half the bowl.
Pick up the tachyon and stir it evenly.
Then, pour the vegetable oil into the iron pot and start stirring.
Stir a few times, wait until the vegetable oil is warm, and then pour the corn soaked in milk directly into it.
Crackling!
Seeing this, Li Xuan directly covered the pot with the lid, and at the same time used the shovel on the side to stuff it into the gap and stir quickly.
