Chapter 403: High-yield grain, no grain production?
"Yes, Grandfather. My father and I feel the same way.
Moreover, the high priest had predicted long ago that this was our destined trajectory and also our destined fate with Daxia. "Mu Zhen Tianhao also responded with a smile.
His expression was as if it was a matter of course, without any resentment.
"High Priest?" Old Master Gu asked curiously and puzzled.
Mu Zhen Tianhao then told everyone about the prophecies that the high priest had been making, as well as the prophecy stories that had been circulating...
Everyone listened to Mu Zhen Tianhao's story as if they were listening to a magical story.
It felt magical and shocking, it was a completely different cultural collision.
But when they thought about the magical power of their own Fu'er, they felt relieved.
There are some miraculous things in this world, but many of them are unknown to the general public.
Just like the high priest's prophetic ability, he must have had his chance.
Everyone chatted for a while about local customs and culture, as well as miscellaneous anecdotes and interesting things. The scene was harmonious and joyful.
……
"Grandpa, I plan to leave the valley and return to the capital in a few days." Song Renjing suddenly said.
After these words were spoken, everyone in the Gu family was stunned for a moment.
Then everyone felt a deep reluctance.
Song Renjing has been living with them for seven or eight years.
Although they already knew his identity, because they had been together for a long time, they did not take it too seriously.
Now, when they suddenly heard that he was leaving, everyone realized that all good things must come to an end.
It was Mr. Gu who came to his senses first, "Well! It's time to go back.
You have been in the valley for so many years, and you have learned everything you need to learn.
And now that the grassland has been recovered, many things need you to go back in person to take over and handle them.
So when are you going to leave the valley? We will escort you out of the valley then."
"I'm going to leave the valley in the next two days. Now that I've made up my mind, I won't delay any longer." Song Renjing said. "Muzhen Tianhao will go back to the capital with me then."
Old Master Gu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "According to your speculation, the leader of the rebellion has not been brought to justice. I think there must be a bigger conspiracy.
People in our valley have been involved in all aspects over the years.
It would be better to gather them together tomorrow and ask who is willing to follow you out of the valley. If you have any who can be used, you can pick some to go out with you.
They are still young, and if they go out with you, they may be able to help you, and they can also build their own careers and put what they have learned into practice. "
"Grandpa..." Song Renjing called out with emotion, and he couldn't say any more.
There is so much reluctance and touching feeling in my heart!
He knew how amazing the education provided by the Gu family was.
He had always thought that the Gu family was selfless and treated everyone equally, but he had never expected that the Gu family had such a big vision.
This has been planned since the beginning of their training. Let them serve Daxia after they finish their studies!
He felt the kindness.
Mr. Gu just waved his hand casually, "I am just suggesting it. It depends on their personal wishes."
"Okay, Grandpa, I will definitely let them choose for themselves."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu nodded and said nothing more.
With plans and arrangements for Song Renjing's release from the valley, everyone had no time to be sad.
They all thought about how to help Song Renjing.
"Shuhuan, do you have any ideas?" Thinking of Shuhuan's gunpowder, Mr. Gu asked.
In fact, Duan Shuhuan had been thinking about this question since Mu Zhen Tianhao followed him.
He had only achieved half of his revenge, so naturally he was unwilling to give up.
Moreover, since he started researching gunpowder, he has said that if the development is successful, he will present the formula to the court.
He had discussed this with his mother and grandmother yesterday. If Song Renjing left the valley, he would follow him out and personally help the court make gunpowder.
After all, the formula is too incredible, and if it is seen by others, it will inevitably leak out.
It is better not to let others interfere when you are not clear about the rebellion plan.
"Grandpa, I'm willing to go out of the valley with you..." Duan Shuhuan responded, and told him about his plans and concerns.
Song Renjing patted his shoulder with emotion, "Good brother!"
Gu Dajiang also said at this time: "Dad, the business in Xinlong City is already on the right track, and most people have migrated.
My son wants to hand over the business here to the steward, and he wants to open a similar shop in the capital."
Mr. Gu thought for a moment and said, "It may be inconvenient for us to supply goods if we open a shop in Beijing!"
It would take four hours to deliver goods to Zesheng County now. If we go to the capital, people will spend even more and I'm afraid the goods will be in short supply.
"Dad, I've thought about this. We can sell some long-lasting products, such as our toilet paper, pens, inkstones, paper, and inkstones...
For foods that need to be frozen, the production methods can be handed over to some cooks, who will make them every day and freeze them in the refrigerator.
It not only provides employment opportunities, but also enriches people's dining tables.
Besides, it will take several months to build a house, and I can also hire people for training. I can buy the land first when I go to Beijing.
While building the house, we are also training staff so that they can make some frozen foods in the supermarket and put them in the refrigerator, thus solving the problem of frozen foods.
As for fresh vegetables, we can buy a farm and grow them ourselves, thus solving the vegetable problem.
For other department stores, if the capital has them, we will recruit merchants. If they are not available or if we have unique products, we will let the caravans deliver them.
If there are children in the valley who are willing to go out with A Jing, they will feel at ease knowing that we have our shop and farm."
"Dad, I can also open a workshop in the capital to make the seasonings I make. The capital's consumption is huge. If I open a store by then, the supply will probably be huge. I won't be afraid if I have a workshop." Wen also said.
Mr. Gu thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.
There are no chores to take care of in the valley. Since the children have the ambition to make progress, he, as a father, will naturally support them.
"Okay, since you want to go, then go out and try your luck. Your family will fully support you in terms of money and manpower."
"Grandpa, there is one more thing I need your help with," Song Renjing said.
"Just tell me if you need anything, and I will definitely help if I can." said Grandpa Gu.
“Thank you, Grandpa. I received a letter from you after I came back this time.
It is said that the high-yield crops grown outside the valley were experimentally grown, and many places have been found to conduct experiments, but the yield is less than half of that inside the valley.
My grandfather wants you to find a grain-growing expert to come out of the valley for personal guidance. I wonder if it would be convenient for you." Song Renjing told him about the grain problem.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu slapped his thigh and said anxiously, "It's been so many years since these grain seeds were given out! Why are you only telling me now?"
Food is such an important thing for the people!
They have been given grain seeds since the cooperation, and it has been so many years. The imperial court is really stubborn. Didn’t they ask in time when the output was not right?
