Chapter 160: Another Suggestion (Continued)
A series of rewards hit the head, Zhang Ran felt his mind buzzing. However, due to the limited relevant knowledge, Zhang Ran was not very clear about whether the official position given by the emperor was big or small, but he could clearly understand the issue of granting titles and giving houses.
The house in Jiaquebeidi is a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles, and every inch of land is worth every inch. Even if you enter the small courtyard, you can't buy it without a hundred gold, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money...
Just when Zhang Ran was stunned, Dong Zhongshu, who was standing beside him, quickly reminded in a low voice: "Why are you still standing there? Thank you!"
"oh oh!"
Zhang Ran hurriedly crawled on the ground and bowed to the emperor: "Thank you for your kindness... I am willing to do this for your Majesty, and I will do my best to do my best..."
"Flat!" Liu Che stretched out his hand and helped me, and smiled, "Zhang Qing offered me good advice to benefit farmers, and some rewards are also the only way to do so. I hope you can offer more advice to me, so I will definitely give you rewards!"
"Yi!" Zhang Ran, who was standing up, heard this and bent down and bowed to the emperor to show his obedience.
Then, Liu Che said to Dong Zhongshu on the side: "Dong Qing, after returning, you and Zhang Qing will write a memorial to explain the method of planting wheat in detail and hand it over to me. When the court meeting, I will discuss with you and customize relevant government orders..."
"Now!" Dong Zhongshu nodded slightly and bowed to Liu Che.
After giving Dong Zhongshu instructions, Liu Che stretched out his arms slightly and said to Zhang Ran and Dong Zhongshu at the same time: "Say goodbye!"
Seeing this, Dong Zhongshu hurriedly leaned over and said, "I respectfully invite the saint..."
"Please wait!" At this moment, Zhang Ran suddenly interrupted Dong Zhongshu and leaned over to worship the emperor: "I am young and talented, and I am unwilling to abandon you. I think you are an official, and I am very frightened. Now there is another way to benefit the people. I am willing to offer it to Your Majesty and share your worries."
"Oh?" Liu Che suddenly became interested when he heard this, and couldn't help but say joyfully: "What other methods do Zhang Qing have to benefit the people? If it is beneficial to the people, I will have many rewards!"
"Now!" Zhang Ran bowed and then pondered for a moment and said, "My method is called the method of hatching chickens in a fire kang! This was created by me who imitated the principle of hatching chickens a few days ago. The specific method is to use the heat of the fire kang to imitate the process of hatching eggs in a hen.
Last month, I hatched chickens using this method, and a thousand chickens were obtained to get six hundred chicks, which was very convenient."
Although Zhang Ran has increased the hatching rate of artificial incubation to about 70%, to be cautious, Zhang Ran still said one hundred less, leaving some room for slowing down.
After briefly explaining to Emperor Liu Che, Zhang Ran took out his arms, and said to the emperor that he had summarized before: "Your Majesty, I have recorded all the methods of hatching chickens in a fire kang in this volume. Your Majesty can tell you the difference at a glance!"
"good!"
Liu Che did not expect that Zhang Ran would record his methods of benefiting the people in the book, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but for Liu Che, having bamboo slips is better than not.
So he ordered his left and right to say, "Go and present Zhang Qing's book to me!"
"Here!"
When the eunuchs beside him heard this, they quickly took small steps and trotted to Zhang Ran, held the bamboo slips from Zhang Ran, quickly ran back to the emperor, and placed the bamboo slips in front of the emperor's case.
After getting the bamboo slips, Liu Che couldn't wait to start browsing the case, but after reading it for a few minutes, he felt a little uncomfortable that most of the records in this bamboo slips were about the temperature, indoor humidity, and time-related numbers, which looked quite boring.
Actually, it’s clear that due to lack of relevant experience and the lack of necessary references, Liu Che basically cannot understand the things recorded by Zhang Ran.
Fortunately, these detailed records made Liu Che subconsciously believe that Zhang Ran’s method of hatching eggs was actually not made out of thin air.
About five or six minutes later, Liu Che reached out and closed the bamboo slips, smiled at Zhang Ran and said, "I have read Zhang Qing's method, and the records are quite detailed, which shows how good your intentions are. However, I still want to hear your so-called actions that benefit the people, where is the benefit!"
"Here!"
Zhang Ran cleared his throat and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, if you adopt the method of hatching chickens by the fire kang, you can get 600 chicks in just 20 days. If you have two rooms and two thousand chickens, you can get 1,200 chicks. If you do so, the more hatching rooms, the more chickens you get, the more chicks you get...
Now, the price of chicks in Chang'an is about 18 qian, but the price of chickens is only one qian. If you hatch chickens on a kang, you can get more than ten times the profit per month.
Last month, I hatched 2,000 chickens by this method and got 1,200 chicks. I sold them to the villagers at a low price of ten coins, and made a total profit of more than 10,000 yuan!
In this way, the ministers get money and the villagers get chicks, which is a win-win situation!
I am now in Zhangli, and I have received help from my ministers. Every family has more than ten chickens. When the spring of the following year comes, every family will have chickens to eat and chicken to eat..."
"color!"
As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, Dong Zhongshu on the side praised: "A house with five acres, trees with mulberry trees, fifty people can wear silk. The animals with chickens, pigs, dogs, pigs, pigs, and pigs will not lose their time, and seventy people can eat meat. Do not take away the land with a hundred acres, and a family with several people will not be hungry.
If Zhang Lang’s four methods are implemented in the world, it will benefit all the people of the world!
There is nothing better than the rule of the ancient sage kings!"
As he said that, Dong Zhongshu leaned over and bowed to the emperor and said, "I bowed my head and begged Your Majesty to accept Zhang Lang's laws to benefit all the people!"
"Good! Dong Qing's words are very heart-warming!" Liu Che smiled and couldn't help but praise Zhang Ran beside him: "Your method is very wonderful and beneficial to the people, and I am very happy!"
Then, Liu Che pondered and said, "Zhang Qing made a contribution to his plan, and he must reward him! He was awarded a third-level title, a hundred gold medal, and was appointed as a counselor, and was in charge of the consultant to respond, participated in the premeditation and consent, and granted bamboo talismans, and allowed him to enter the palace to report the opportunity!"
"Thank you, Lord, Longyou..." Zhang Ran crawled and bowed.
Before entering the palace, King Wuqiu Shou had told Zhang Ran about some general official system. Although due to limited time, he did not mention what the specific official position was responsible for, the basic framework still mentioned more or less.
And just happened to be that Liu Che gave Zhang Ranfeng the counselor Wang Qiu Shou once said that this counselor actually had no specific functions, but was just a kind of scattered official, tending to be honored but more than functions.
But with this official position, Zhang Ran was qualified to attend the monthly ceremonial meeting. However, because the position of the Admiral doctor was too low, he only had the qualification to listen and had no right to speak.
What really made Zhang Ran feel a little excited was that the bamboo talisman given by Liu Che was once one of Wuqiu Shou Kings. However, later, Wuqiu Shou Kings committed a crime and was confiscated.
The so-called bamboo talisman is a certificate of entry and exit from the palace. With it, Zhang Ran has the qualification to meet the emperor alone. This right is not something that ordinary people can have!
According to King Wuqiu Shou, when he was confiscated the bamboo talisman, he almost cried to death...
Therefore, Liu Che really gave me a great gift this time.
The reason why Liu Che's reward this time was that in addition to the valuable artificial incubation technology that Zhang Ran gave, it was also thanks to Dong Zhongshu's magical assist!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but give a grateful glance to the kind elder beside him.
After detecting Zhang Ran's gaze, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly to indicate...
"Come on, return this bamboo slip to Zhang Qing!"
Liu Che threw the bamboo slips on the table to the eunuchs around him, and said to Zhang Ran with a smile: "Zhang Qing, as the saying goes, those who are capable work harder. Since you have offered this method of benefiting the people, I will hand over this matter to you to deal with it!"
