Datang: I was tricked by the system

"What's the matter?"

"Expand the territory? Could it be that we are going to war!"

"It's true that Li Shimin is too busy to take care of himself now. If he takes the opportunity to seize the territory, it would be a good time."

"..."

Hearing their discussion, the corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched. The fighting factors in these people's bodies are quite active.

After a few days, he will take them to a good fight, and promise to let them have a good time.

Reining in his emotions, Li Yi continued.

"First, it is the minerals, gold, silver, iron, coal, etc. that the Emperor said before. Only when we have these in our hands can You Tang enter a cycle of sustainable development. The Emperor will arrange for people to go to this matter later. survey."

"The second is the drought in Jinan Prefecture. Everyone must have heard about it and are worried about it. The emperor decided to take this opportunity to include Jinan Prefecture in my Youtang territory."

As soon as Li Yi said this, everyone present looked excited.

"Yihuang, I don't know what you plan to do?"

"If Jinan Prefecture suffers from drought, if we merge it into Youtang, how will the drought problem be solved?"

"Is it possible that you will go to rain again?"

"..."

Those present also knew about Li Yi's previous method. Except for some who didn't understand and were worried, everyone else was very excited.

For his own people, Li Yi didn't mean to hide his thoughts, and said bluntly:
"Take food to negotiate with the governor of Jinan Prefecture. If he is willing to surrender, the emperor will provide him with grain seeds for free and solve the food problem of everyone in Jinan Prefecture."

If you can not use troops, you don't need to use troops.

Swords are reserved for foreign invaders. For his compatriots, he likes to adopt a method that does not see blood and resolve it peacefully.

"Of course, if he is unwilling, the Emperor will kill him directly and let someone take his place. I believe he has people who are willing."

After hearing the words, everyone agreed with Li Yi's idea.

But there is another question, do they have food?

"Emperor Yi, don't we have a lot of food in stock?" The original Dongyi Protectorate had less than [-] shi of grain, and besides Li Yi and the others, there were more than [-] soldiers to support, so it was impossible to tell. .

The stewards of other counties and counties in Youzhou also shook their heads. Now that there is a food shortage, if Youzhou alone can't solve the drought problem in Jinan Prefecture.

Li Yi smiled mysteriously, "Everyone, please follow me."

Food has been linked to people's hearts since ancient times, and Li Yi doesn't mind giving these people some peace of mind.

After speaking, he led a group of people to Anju Village in a mighty manner.

Under Li Yi's order, several villages near Anju Village were all merged into one village.

Previously, according to Li Yi's instructions, Shan Ling'er arranged for the potato seeds to be planted in several other villages besides Anju Village to be harvested once a month. Now that batch of potatoes is just ripe and used to solve the disaster in Jinan Prefecture.

According to the standard of Li Shimin's equal land system.

One person has more than 100 mu of land, and several villages add up to more than 1000 people, and the land area is quite considerable.

Li Yi was very fortunate to have won the universal portable space in the system, otherwise the food would really have no way to take it away, and Li Shimin could only be cheaper for nothing.

"Emperor Yi!"

After seeing Li Yi, the villagers greeted him one after another.

Li Yi nodded, and he responded to everyone who greeted him. He talked along the way, and soon came to the field. Li Yi took the lead to lead people to the field in Anju Village, where wheat was planted.

"Yihuang, why did you bring us here?"

Under the effect of the protective cover, they only saw a desolate field, and they couldn't help but wonder.

Li Yi contacted Huang Tian, ​​and after removing the protective cover, a half-meter-tall wheat appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was surprised.

"This...how can the wheat grow so well here?" Chen Jinbai, the new governor of the Dongyi Protectorate, said in shock.

All the protective covers were removed, and a large green wheat field appeared in everyone's eyes. Even Yanyun Shibaqi was shocked by the scene in front of him.

After being shocked, Chen Jinbai looked at Li Yi hesitantly, and said after a while: "Yihuang, this wheat looks good, but if it is to be used for disaster relief, the quantity is not enough, let alone it is not yet ripe , it doesn't work either."

Li Yi nodded, this Chen Jinbai was picked up by him, and now seeing that he was really doing things for him, there was a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

"This is just a reassurance pill for you all to eat."

After finishing speaking, Li Yi pointed to the wheat field in front of him and said, "This kind of wheat can produce a thousand catties per mu and can be harvested five times a year. Think about it, if all the people in my You Tang planted this kind of wheat, what would the result be like?"

After saying that, all the people present widened their eyes in shock.

"A mu yields a thousand catties!!!"

"Five ripes a year!!!"

"If the common people can grow this kind of wheat, then the common people will definitely not worry about the food problem in the future."

"Yup……"

Just thinking about it, everyone felt very excited.

"You guys come with me again."

Before they could react, Li Yi took them to the potato field again.

At this time, potatoes are being harvested, and looking around, the whole field is full of white potatoes, which look like babies.

"What is this?"

"Master, let me tell the story." Shan Ling'er said at the side.

After Li Yi nodded, Shan Linger began to explain potatoes.

When Chen Jinbai and the others learned that the yield of potatoes was three thousand catties per mu, they were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground.

At this time, looking at the potatoes in the field, everyone had an idea, what kind of potatoes are these, it is the life of the people.

One crop per month, yielding [-] catties per mu, is a conservative estimate.

This shocked them, and it was hard to believe it.

Li Yi directly asked people to find something to weigh and let them verify it by themselves.

The final result was even more astonishing than what they had heard, it weighed more than 200 kilograms.

"Emperor Yi, I have this kind of food in You Tang, why worry about the people's dissatisfaction, why worry about not having an army!"

Chen Jinbai was really excited. He was originally a general of the Dongyi Protectorate. As a soldier, he used up his physical strength every day, but he never had enough to eat.

He knew very well that on the battlefield, many soldiers died not because they were too weak, but because they were too hungry to resist.

Now that he saw so much food, he felt at ease, and his determination to follow Li Yi became stronger.

Because the output of the first batch of potatoes was too large and the population of the villagers was limited, the speed of harvesting could not be increased at all. Li Yi was worried about the drought in Jinan Prefecture, so he asked Chen Jinbai to bring the soldiers who came back from shifts to help dig potatoes.

But in this way, there are still not enough manpower, so Li Yi asked Chen Jinbai to be responsible for mobilizing the people to help.

The people from Xiangfu also joined the ranks of collecting potatoes.
