Establish diplomatic relations with another world

After inspecting the fields, City Lord Du looked unhappy.

"The output of this batch doesn't look high!"

City Lord Du just made such a light statement, but everyone in the room couldn't help but bow their heads in shame.

What City Lord Du said is right. The batch of grain planted in the new spring this year is about to be harvested. However, due to the lack of fertility, the yield of the crops is not high. Except for a few intensively cultivated land, the yield of other crops has decreased by at least two times compared to previous years. become!

"My lord, it's not that I can't wait with all my heart." Du Sheng, the agricultural affairs officer, said with a bitter face, "These lands have been cultivated for many years. Although they have been carefully maintained, last year's harvest was not good, and this year's fertilizer is not enough. We have resorted to all means. There is no other way."

Everyone else in the room sighed.Why don't they know this?

General Tang, who was in charge of the army, was dejected: "In order to collect new soil, we have climbed five mountain ranges, but the loess collected back is nothing more than a low-grade field even if it is used for farming."

"There is also Zhuhuo City in the west. Recently, it has become more and more excessive. Relying on the sister of the city lord to marry the eldest son of Li Du, she began to blatantly cross the sideline to collect soil on our site!"

Although I don't know the principle, after the soil is collected every year, a thin layer of soil will accumulate on the rocks outside after being exposed to the wind and sun. By accumulating these thin soils, new soil can be formed.

The land in Yongcheng was basically transformed in this way.

But Zhu Huocheng is doing this now, clearly to invade their territory!

Du Chengzhu's face was as sinking as water, his face darkened and he didn't speak.

This incident started last year. He had won the trust of the city lord of Li Du at that time, but all he got was a dirty talk!

"Those grandsons came to our city to ask for help when they couldn't eat in the early years, but now they are ungrateful and climb over us because of their nepotism!" General Tang snorted angrily.

Butler Du frowned, and persuaded him: "City Master Li's health is getting worse, and now the big and small affairs in the city are handled by the eldest son. Zhu Huocheng has seen this and dared to bully us like this!"

It was fine if he didn't say that, but when he said it, General Tang became furious: "This eldest son is still acting as interim, if one day he really takes the position of city lord, then there is still a way for us to survive?"

Everyone in the house was covered with frost, so City Lord Du changed the subject and asked about the situation in the city, but General Tang refused to stop: "My lord, Li Du's orders for our weapons are getting less and less, what is this?" What do you mean? Do you want to kill us?"

City Lord Du clenched his hands, his face sank like water.

Everyone in the house was quiet for a long time, and the tax officer, Mr. Lin, who hadn't spoken, said slowly: "Although our Yongcheng is a vassal of Li Du, we have been loyal for a hundred years, but now Li Du is not a big city lord. I like us, but I also feel that we are a burden. My lord, we must take precautions early!"

As soon as this statement was made, everyone in the room agreed, and City Lord Du smiled wryly: "Our Yongcheng City has an excellent location, and the forging of weapons is superb, but with our current food strength, we are completely unable to compete with Li Du..."

This is reality!

The situation is stronger than people, if you don't have enough to eat, everything will be empty.

As a result, everyone else fell silent again.

The meeting broke up unhappily. City Lord Du had no energy all afternoon and barely handled his official duties, but Butler Du rushed in excitedly.

"My lord, Du Yi is back!"

Du Cheng glanced at him, and he was so excited that he was not as stable as usual: "So happy, how much food did Du bring back?"

He also knew in his heart that those people in Baicheng didn't seem to be stingy. For the sake of the long-term future, the amount of food in this transaction must be quite a lot, but are they so happy?

Butler Du beamed: "The important thing is not the food, but something else!"

"Oh?"

City Lord Du became curious, and followed Steward Du to look around, only to find that Steward Du actually asked Du to drag something into the warehouse.

This is an important place for city defense, and non-essential things are not allowed to enter.

Du Guanshi kept it a secret: "I brought the things in because I saw them with my own eyes!"

City Lord Du was even more curious. When he walked in, he found that Mr. Lin, General Tang, Du Sheng, and others had all been called.

Steward Du welcomed the crowd in, and told Du Shisan and the others to guard the door, and no one would disturb them unless they came out.

Fortunately, everyone knew that Steward Du was not the one aimlessly, so they suppressed their curiosity and waited for his explanation.

Inside the house, several rows of things have been placed on the open ground, and many strange-shaped objects have never been seen by anyone in the house.

Du Yi stood at the front, watched Guan Shi Du nodded to him, and then reported to everyone what he had seen and heard these days.

Just by looking at General Tang's expression, everyone in the room didn't believe what he said.

Fortunately, Shen Yannian had anticipated this a long time ago and was well prepared.

A suspended white curtain, a projector, turned on the switch, and a white light suddenly lit up in the dimly lit room, which shocked everyone.

"City lord, my lords, this is the extraordinary skill of the Bai people." Du Yiqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and comforted the bewildered people, "This is a video technology that can record the appearance and words of people and then play them back. Harmless to anyone."

Just as he was talking, the picture had officially begun, and inside were Shen Yannian, Bai Ye, the old priest and others who had been carefully dressed.

Du introduced them one by one, and Shen Yannian also briefly introduced himself in the video, thanking the Yongcheng people for helping the Bai people find the Hui people, and expressing their satisfaction with this transaction.

Among the things that Du brought back this time, one part is the final payment of this transaction, and the other part is the samples of commodities that the Bai people are willing to exchange with foreign countries. If Yongcheng is interested, they can exchange them with ore!

As for what Du brought back...

"My lord, look at this!"

This is an ordinary shoe box on earth. It is a light brown box with a simple English logo printed on it. There are small holes on both ends of the box. It is square and looks quite high-end.

But this is very precious to people from other worlds like City Lord Du. You must know that because of the lack of vegetation resources, their current communication method is still mainly based on metal plate engraving.Paper like this is a treasure in itself.

Open it, and the inside of the box is white. In order to show its preciousness—and also to improve the grade—Shen Yannian asked someone to put cardboard underneath, put a layer of sponge, and finally spread a layer of red cloth. It is a precious place. Put a small handful of rice ears!

Yes, it is the ears of rice, a handful of rice ears that they have just harvested, without any pruning, a handful of pure natural rice ears!

However, there are more people who know the goods!

Du Sheng snatched the box almost as if grabbing it, and examined the food carefully under the light: "...twenty, twenty-five, thirty..."

The others all gathered around, and when he counted the number of grains on the ears of rice, all the faces of the people showed ecstasy at the same time.

Du Yi converted a file, pointed to the harvesting screen that reappeared on the curtain, and said to everyone: "This is a screen shot by Xiao Xiao himself, and there is absolutely no falsehood in it!"

In the picture, some seedlings are planted in a land of one meter by one meter, and then watered. After a short time, the seedlings will grow vigorously.During the fast playback, these seedlings change rapidly, from small to tall, grow and fill, the ears of rice become curved, the leaves turn yellow, and then, mature!

"..."

The room was silent, only the sound of heavy breathing showed how excited everyone was now.

Then a figure appeared in front of everyone, it was Du Yi, he glanced at the screen cautiously, then cut off a handful of rice ears with his own hands, and put them into a box—the box they were looking at just now!

"This box has been kept in Xiao's hands since that moment, and there is absolutely no falsehood in it!" Du Yi swore pointing to the sky.

No one doubted his loyalty, so everyone went crazy.

"Is this their grain seed? There are so many grains in such a small plant. If we want to change this, if they have any demands, just ask them! We will change them all!" Du Sheng was almost crazy , "City Master, with such an output of grain, one crop is equivalent to three or four crops of our original crops!"

City Lord Du calmed down, suppressed the joy in his heart, and said, "This kind of crop consumes land? How long does it take?"

Speaking of this, everyone realized something was wrong. Watching the video, the food was filmed from beginning to end, but when Du Yi went to Baicheng...

Du Yi couldn't stop the joy in his heart, and with a bright smile on his face, he said, "My lord, this is exactly what the little one wants to tell you! This Baicheng is not simple! You will never guess what the little one saw there! "He looked around the crowd, took a breath, and continued to play the originally paused screen while trembling.

City Lord Du vaguely thought of something, but couldn't believe it.

The scene of Du Yi putting the ears of rice into the box that had been paused was reactivated. The camera moved up slowly, and everyone could see that beyond the field was the smooth tiled floor. Between the feet, there was a very special figure , he stood like an ordinary person, but the part exposed by the hem of his clothes was not his feet... Before everyone could see clearly, the camera moved up, revealing a...

"Tree people!"

Facing the camera, the little tree man smiled loudly and waved his branches: "Hehe (Hello!)"

Du Yi stopped the screen and said excitedly: "City Master, my lords, they are Shuren, and I saw Shuren in Baicheng, and they are very close, not subordinate, but Shuren is quite dependent on Baicheng people. Their food seeds are not provided by the Ents, but their own, but the Ents will help them organize the land and catalyze the crops!" His neck was red with excitement, "And, besides, there is an Ents territory not far away, There is an adult tree man there, and he has a very good relationship with the Bai people!" Looking at City Lord Du, "The flying eagle left by the Bai people before was not domesticated by them, but ordered by the tree people to help the Bai people pass the news!"

"My God!"

"Is this all true?"

The storeroom was seething, and their dumbfounded expressions could no longer be described. Mr. Lin tremblingly tugged at General Tang beside him, and asked tremblingly, "I, did I hear you right? Did I hear you right?" There was no trace of sharp voice. The usual calmness of an old man.

General Tang is like a dream: "I don't know, I heard it too, why do I feel like a dream."

Du Sheng looked at the ears of rice in the box in his hand for a while, then looked at the big screen for a while, then lowered his head, then looked up...

Suddenly, he grabbed City Lord Du and screamed: "My lord, trade with them, trade with them!!!"

City Lord Du stared straight at the big screen, and he didn't wake up from being swayed back and forth by Du Sheng.

trade?Yes, deal!

They Yongcheng must trade with the Bai people!
