Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 57 I want to build a city

Basic necessities of life, this is a big deal!
Now that Ding Yi already has a place to build a city, he needs countless money.All kinds of ways to make money cannot be let go.

Li Er and the others thought they heard it wrong, collecting wool?What do you want this wool for?

"Ding Yi, what are you collecting wool for?" Li Er asked curiously.

Ding Yi thought about it just now, and he has a big plan in mind!So he said: "Your Majesty, I think that if we use salt and iron to buy wool from grassland tribes such as Xue Yantuo, Shiwei, and Huihe, the Turks will definitely not be able to bear it. As for the detailed plan, you adults have to figure out a way!"

Changsun Wuji was in a hurry, why didn't this kid know what to do, and used salt and iron to buy useless wool from the grassland!
"Salt and iron are scarce in my Tang Dynasty, so how can I sell them to grassland tribes? This is an enemy!"

"Okay! You don't need to say anything, this matter is not allowed!" Li Er was also not allowed.

Ding Yi said calmly: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have something to tell Your Majesty when I come back this time."

Li Er said: "What's the matter, we will discuss it later!"

"Your Majesty, if the minister can solve the problem of salt shortage!" It's time to show the real technology!

Li Er and the others looked at Ding Yi in disbelief. Salt is an important national commodity, and it has been in short supply since ancient times. Now Ding Yi says he can solve it!How can people not be surprised!
"Do you really have a solution?" Li Er asked in disbelief.

Ding Yi said indifferently: "Your Majesty, there is actually one more thing!"

"Don't talk about him, I'm asking you about salt!" Li Er was very anxious to know how Ding Yi could solve the problem of salt shortage. Now the Tang Dynasty's salt is controlled by the aristocratic family, which is very important for Li Er's ruling. It has a great impact. If it can be solved, it can solve many things!
"Marquis Shiping, hurry up and talk!" The others were also a little anxious, this unreliable boy!
"Your Majesty, I actually want to say that I have found something that can solve my food shortage in the Tang Dynasty." Ding Yi was about to throw out the potatoes.

Li Er and the others were shocked again, already a little numb!

Steelmaking!corn!Qu Yuanli!horseshoe!Now it is making salt again, and there are things that can solve the food shortage in Datang.Is there anything this kid can't solve!

"You... tell me one by one! If this is the case, tell me what kind of reward you want, and I will not treat you badly!" If these things can really be resolved, then Li Er will know what Ding Yi wants Promised, except for a few things!
"Marquis Shiping, tell me quickly!" Fang Xuanling and the others were also very anxious, you always said half and half, and you were talking about salt, but you changed to food again!Can we still have a good communication!

Ding Yi was a little apprehensive looking at the four people with red eyes, what are these four big men going to do!
"Your Majesty... I found potatoes! This potato is also from my hometown. It is easy to grow without picking the land! There is about [-] or [-] shi per mu, um... the difference is not big!"

Twenty or thirty stones!Yield per mu!Don't pick a place yet!

Is there such a thing?This is simply a fetish!Li Er and the others looked at the serious Ding Yi, it didn't look like he was lying!I guess he didn't dare to lie. If you dare to use this kind of thing to fool the emperor, it's not that the birthday star always hanged himself, looking for death!
"Ding Yi, where is this thing? It's really...as powerful as you said?" Li Er was already trembling a little, and his speech was a little difficult. He walked down and grabbed Ding Yi's shoulder and asked.

"I have already planted potatoes next to the corn field. This thing can mature in three months, and it doesn't like high temperature. It won't grow if it's too hot! But this thing can't be eaten raw, it can't be regarded as a staple food, it can only be used as a staple food. Complementary food. There are also many ways to eat, steamed, roasted, fried, roasted beef with potatoes, French fries, mashed potatoes, hot and sour potato shreds, fried potato sticks, roasted potato balls with sauce, pork ribs stewed potatoes, Ah! Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Ding Yi thought of making some dishes with potatoes as he spoke, and was suddenly slapped on the shoulder by Li Er.

"Marquis Shiping, don't talk about how to eat it, just use the potatoes as a supplementary grain to yield [-] to [-] shi per mu according to what you said, and that will make my Tang Dynasty no longer famine!" Du Ruhui said hastily from the side.

"Boy, this thing is really as you said, so why should I worry about disasters in Tang Dynasty? I...hahahaha! Boy, it seems that I was right in not dealing with you at the beginning!" Li Er said excitedly.

At this time, Ding Yi was surrounded by four strong men, pulling his arms and pinching his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, my lords, can you let go of the boy first?"

"Haha...cough!" Li Er and the others heard it was funny, but also very happy, they couldn't help but shed tears when they laughed.

This reaction is a bit big!
"Your Majesty? This thing has just been planted, and I invite you to preside over it when it is harvested!" Ding Yi was a little shocked when he saw the four people crying. He had heard of such a thing a long time ago.Now that I see it, it really feels different!

"Marquis Shiping! I thank you! I thank you for the people of the people! Thank you for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Er said quietly wiping away the tears on his face.

"Marquis Shiping, it is worthwhile for me to see such a fetish in my lifetime! I also thank you on behalf of the common people!" Du Ruhui looked at Ding Yi and said sincerely.

Fang Xuanling, a literati who didn't know where the strength came from, grabbed Ding Yi's hand again and said: "This old man has never heard of such a divine object in this life. I am lucky in this life. I would like to thank Marquis Shi Ping!"

The admiration in Changsun Wuji's eyes grew stronger, this kid is really good!
"Marquis Shi Ping, I didn't believe Chong'er when he said that you have the method of making steel. Now, it seems that I was wrong! I apologize to you here. You really are my lucky star in Tang Dynasty!"

Ding Yi couldn't accept it, he was too polite.

"Your Majesty, my lords, there is no need to be like this. I also have a heart for the people of the world. I can't bear to see them suffer so much because of food. This is what a boy should do!" Ding Yi said righteously.

Li Er was still standing in front of Ding Yi, and he didn't know how to reward Ding Yi.He is only 12 years old now, so it is inappropriate to be named county magistrate.Not rewarding him was afraid that his heart would be chilled, so he asked: "Auxiliary machine, Keming, Xuanling. For such a great achievement, how do you think I should reward Ding Yi?"

The three of them were also silent, unable to think of a suitable reward.

Ding Yi felt that it was time to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I did not present this object to ask for a reward from Your Majesty. I did it for the people of the world, and this is all my duty. Since I arrived in Chang'an, I have been suffering everywhere. Your Majesty's kindness, and I was made a Marquis by His Majesty, so I only want to do something for Your Majesty and Great Tang."

Li Er glanced at Ding Yi appreciatively, and said: "You have made such great achievements, how can I miss the reward! Tell me what you want, and I will promise you!"

Really, you must give me a reward.O vulgar people!

"Since Your Majesty has said so, I have a small request."

"you say!"

"I want to build a city!"
