Luo Yong originally thought that each company would be responsible for the road construction. He had money and made efforts. He couldn't wait for others to build roads for them.

But now I thought about it again, and it was mandatory to ask them to contribute money and efforts. How could we let everyone take the initiative to contribute money and efforts?

He remembered that in the 21st century, when their small town had to do something, in addition to government funding, it mainly relied on everyone to raise funds themselves.

There is no need to forcefully ask who has to pay how much. After that, just erect a merit monument and carve the donor's name. Everyone is very happy. Those who get the benefits are also grateful to those who contribute. Those who contribute can also earn a good reputation. Everyone is happy.

However, it is still the time for autumn harvest. The road construction can be temporarily slowed down. After everyone has collected the food, they have paid this year's taxes. It will not be too late to consider road construction at that time.

Guo An came here this time mainly for the fermented bean curd. Although the Guo family also has a farm industry, relying solely on agricultural income is obviously not enough to maintain the expenses of this huge family.

Because he was destroyed during the Northern Wei Dynasty, his earlier accumulation was temporarily conquered. Although nearly a hundred years have passed, the Guo family's family's family is still incomparable to other gentry families who have accumulated for hundreds of years.

In this case, if the Guo family wants to make more family children go to office smoothly and to promote closer ties with those aristocratic families with deep roots, in addition to political and cultural management, money is also indispensable.

In addition to Tianzhuang Real Estate, the Guo family also has many shops. Of course, these shops are not on the surface. The family's children are not involved in these business matters, but arrange trustworthy personnel to be responsible for the management. After all, most of the gentry at this time were very noble and no one wanted to be looked down upon. Moreover, the laws at this time also stipulated that court officials were not feasible for business.

Among the shops of the Guo family, there are many restaurants and guesthouses. Earlier, the chef of a guesthouse discovered the wonderful use of fermented bean curd in barbecue. After the Guo family mastered this method, it was soon promoted in other stores in their own stores.

This time, Guo An came to Luo Yong for a long-term contract. Of course, he would not talk about the specific use of buying fermented bean curd himself, but only negotiated the price, trading time and transaction quantity. They still refused to spend money to buy it, but instead exchanged the beans produced in their own farms. Luo Yong was not afraid of using too much beans. They could make tofu and tofu paste and oil. The soybean oil squeezed can not only be eaten but also be soap. Soybean meal can be used as feed or fertilizer.

This time when Guo An came to Lishi County, in addition to the attitudes of those Chang'an people towards Luo Yong, he also brought Luo Yong a message, that is, the death of the warrior.

Wu Shitao was from Wenshui, Bingzhou, and Bingzhou was the former name of Taiyuan Prefecture. Wenshui was located southwest of Taiyuan City, and was separated from Lishi County by a Luliang Mountain.

"According to my good friend, you just need to sow a seed to plant this handful of food?" Li Shimin picked up a golden corn kernel from his hand and took it to his eyes for a closer look.

"That's right!" the official said respectfully: "Not only that, this grain is born from all over the place, and can grow even in arid and barren land."

"What if you are in a dry and barren land?" asked His Majesty the Emperor.

"It's not a problem, and it can be highly productive." The official replied immediately.

"!" The pot was immediately frying in the court, as if sprinkling clean water on a pot of boiling oil.

Just one seed can plant such a handful of food and grow normally in drought and barren areas. How is this possible?

Ordinary farmers plant wheat and corn, sow a seed, and when they are harvested, at most, they are a nest in their palms. There are more beans, but not so many. Besides, everyone knows that beans eat more bloating.

I just don't know what this kind of food tastes...

His Majesty the Emperor obviously thought of this, and immediately ordered people to steam a pot of corn kernels and put them on.

These corns are old varieties harvested from Luoyong from the Northeast. They have a sticky and glutinous taste. They have just been collected from the field and have not been dried yet. These people did not think of cooking the whole corn cob in the pot. Instead, they carefully picked the corn kernels one by one, and then put them into the pot by the most experienced chef in the palace and steamed until the skin swelled slightly.

By the time the corn was out of the pot, there were already a circle of people wearing dragon robes and official uniforms in this big kitchen. Just now they smelled the fragrance of steamed corn in the court, and then everyone came over with a word from His Majesty the Emperor.

Today is a great dynasty. There are so many imperial officials, and only such a kitchen cannot be installed. So those with high positions go inside, and those with low positions have to stick their necks outside and smell the smell.

The aroma of this steamed corn is different from any kind of food they have eaten before, and it makes people greedy and greedy.

"...The taste is soft, glutinous and firm, so you can bear hunger and fullness. I think it must be a good choice for corn and white flour." The senior officials there are tasting this brand new grain type.

"I heard that livestock also like to eat." Someone added.

"Those livestock are okay?" After eating, I realized what to ask.

"My dear, please feel at ease. I have ordered people to feed livestock with stems and leaves of this object. Both cattle and sheep like to eat, and the seeds have also been fed with cattle, sheep, chicken and geese, all of which are fine." His Majesty the Emperor came from the kitchen with a smile.

"Your Majesty! This thing is really a god-given food!" Another old minister shouted excitedly.

"It is really a gift from God!" The ministers agreed one after another.

"..." From time to time, excited praise and praise came from the kitchen. Everyone was very excited, saying that the corn was given to God.

As for where this bag of grain was discovered at that time, everyone naturally did not mention it.

What? A public toilet in the East City? Who dares to say this? Even if His Majesty the Emperor doesn’t blame him, these old ministers can curse people to the point of being stinking.
