After coming to the Golden State, the scientific and technological development of the Academy of Sciences has entered a blowout period.

Of course, the reason for this situation is actually because if the Golden State wants to develop at a high level, it is inseparable from the rapid development of science and technology.

When he was in Datang, Li Su always guided the scientific research department, but rarely intervened.

That's because, at that time, Li Su knew that the development of science and technology also needed social progress.

If technology develops rapidly, but the social structure does not change accordingly, there will be problems.

It's like a person needs to walk on two legs.

If one leg grows quickly and the other grows slowly, it results in one leg being long and one leg short.

Walking with a lame walk in this way.

If the disparity is too great, this person will become crippled.

This is true for a person, and the same is true for society.

And after coming to the Golden State, because all of this was built up in Li Su's intentions.

This is a brand new group, and Li Su has the ability and confidence to control it.

Therefore, here, Li Su is not afraid of the rapid development of science and technology.

During this period, the scientific research department of Huaxia City manufactured a large number of semi-automatic farming machinery.

There is also a large number of construction machinery.

Both of these are what they urgently need for their current development.

The immigration work is going very smoothly.

At present, more than 100,000 people have immigrated to the Golden State.

There are already 10 villages in the surrounding natural villages.

Currently, they are building more natural villages.

Because of the invention of farming machinery, farming has become simpler and easier.

Here, the terrain is flat and the land is fertile.

The land that each family is allotted is a whole piece of land.

With machinery, they can easily farm.

Even, they feel that farming is too easy.

Here, each person gets five acres of land for cultivation days.

A family of eight can cultivate forty acres of land.

For them, it's easy, and they don't feel tired at all.

They felt that they could at least cultivate more than 100 acres of land.

Of course, none of these lands are their own, they only have the right to cultivate, but not ownership.

In fact, there is a lot of land that has been reclaimed in the surrounding area.

These lands were cultivated by which armies.

It is also the army that is currently farming.

And those immigrants, if they want to cultivate the land, can apply, and then they can rent the land at a relatively low price.

And in the Golden State, there is also a dedicated Ministry of Agriculture, with specialized agricultural specialists.

They specialize in seeds and are constantly researching how to increase yields.

The land of the Golden State has always been relatively fertile.

The output here is generally higher than that of Datang.

However, the abundant land and production have also brought a series of problems.

There is a problem of food surplus.

Now in Datang, there is already a surplus of grain.

As for the Golden State, those aborigines, who grew their own food, could not eat it.

And now, with the popularization of modern equipment, with the continuous optimization of grain planting.

As a result, the current grain production is higher, and it also leads to the inevitable problem of food surplus.

The valley hurts the people.

If this problem is not solved, it will lead to a series of social problems.

It will seriously affect the enthusiasm of those immigrants to farm.

It will further affect the follow-up immigration issues, and will further affect the follow-up development of the entire Huaxia City.

For this issue, whether it is Shangguan Yi, Wu Meiniang or Cui Yingying, they all attach enough importance to it.

But despite their outstanding ability, they have also come up with many solutions to this problem, but in the end they still can't find a good solution.

In the end, they had no choice but to find Li Su.

In the past few years since he came to the Golden State, Li Su seems to have always been a hands-off shopkeeper.

In addition to the general direction of development, the general direction of the law, and the framework of the government, he is in control.

The rest of the things were basically delegated to the three of them.

Of course, Cui Yingying is actually a latecomer, and her rights are far less than the two of them.

Shangguan Yi and Wu Meiniang, although they knew Li Su's ability, did not dare to disagree.

But deep down, there is some self-restraint in their hearts.

That is, in fact, even if they don't rely on Li Su, they can also govern Huaxia City very well.

Until the problem of overproduction of grain arose that, with their wisdom, there was no solution to this problem at all.

At this time, the first thing they thought of was Li Su.

"Your Majesty, there is now a problem of food surplus."

"Now the yield per mu of grain is increasing year by year. The advent of automated machines has reduced the amount of labor needed to farm. ”

"In the past, if one person could cultivate ten acres of land, now one person can cultivate at least forty or fifty acres of land, or even more."

"But as a result of the increase in production, there is simply no food to eat. Now the price of grain has fallen to the lowest point, and it cannot be sold at all. ”

"Which immigrants are now greatly frustrated because of the price of food."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will affect the follow-up immigration issues."

After listening to Shangguan Yi's words, Li Su couldn't help but nodded.

Li Su actually thought that this problem would happen for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so early.

Li Su couldn't help but ask Shangguanyi: "Prime Minister, what method are you going to use to solve this problem?" ”

When no one is around, Shangguanyi likes to call Li Su the emperor, and Li Su in turn jokingly calls him the prime minister.

It's almost a bad taste between the two.

Of course, Li Su is a bad taste.

And Shangguan Yi called it so, in fact, he had something to look forward to.

Hearing Li Su's inquiry, Shangguan Yi's face showed a look of astonishment.

"Your Majesty, what Weichen wants is to process these grains and make them into various pastries."

"Now, the scientific research department is developing vacuum packaging, and it has already achieved results. As long as it is finally determined to be feasible, these pastries can be packaged for long-term storage. ”

"When the time comes, we can sell to Datang. In this way, food prices can be raised moderately. ”

"It's just that this method is not effective in a moment. As for the effect, I am afraid that it will not be enough to fundamentally solve this problem. ”

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yi could actually think of this method, which made Li Sugao look at him a few times.

This method, in later generations, was called increasing the added value of food.

It's definitely a good idea.

However, Li Su believes that they still face many problems.

First of all, you have to research out the delicious pastry.

Secondly, food is not just vacuum packed.

There must also be preservatives and some additives in it.

It is not realistic to study these in a short period of time and then open the market.

In other words, this method cannot quench the thirst of the near with water.

However, I have to say that Shangguan Yi's thinking is undoubtedly correct.

As for other methods, he could not have come up with them due to historical limitations.

Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but say to Shangguan Yi: "These grains can actually be sold." ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.

originally thought that Li Su would definitely be able to give a perfect solution.

Over the years, any problem, in his hands, can be perfectly solved.

Shangguan Yi has never seen a problem that Li Su can't solve.

He thought that this time would be no exception.

But this time, the solution given by Li Su disappointed Shangguan Yi.

If the grain can be sold, does he still have to worry?

Now the question is, who will sell it to?

There is already too much grain in the Golden State, and Shangguan Yi feels that even if there is no grain grown here for two years, it will be enough for them to eat.

Sell to Datang?

The question is, now Datang is not short of food?

Transporting grain to Datang is a huge expense.

Then you can only sell it at a low price, not to mention that you can't make money, and it will have a huge impact on Datang's market.

This situation is not what Shangguan Yi wants to see.

Besides, how much will they have to lose?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, although this method is good, the problem now is that these grains are not easy to sell at all!" ”

Seeing Shangguan Yi's expression, Li Su could certainly guess what he was thinking.

Li Su couldn't help laughing and said: "Prime Minister Shangguan, you don't think that I want you to sell these grains to Datang, right?" ”

Isn't it?

Shangguan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Your Majesty, if you don't sell it to the Tang Dynasty, how can you sell it anywhere?" ”

Li Su laughed and said: "Of course, it is not sold to Datang, from this to the west, well, to the east, across the ocean, you can reach another continent." ”

In fact, from Datang to the Golden State, it first went to the east, and then it became west.

I think that the earth is round.

Datang is in the Eastern Hemisphere, while America is in the Western Hemisphere.

From the Americas to the east, the nearest place, it takes less than three thousand miles to reach Europe.

This distance is much closer than from Datang to the Americas.

At this time, Europe had just entered the Middle Ages.

During this period, Europe was under the shackles of religion and was in a period of darkness.

At this time, the barbarians of Western Europe were still on their conquests, and it was the French guests who ruled Gaul.

Spain is Visigothic, and Britain is divided into many small countries.

On the Nordic side, it is still an uncivilized area.

Italy was under the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire, which also controlled uncivilized areas such as Greece, Anatoa, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt.

At that time, the diet in Europe was mainly based on wheat and barley.

Of course, meat also accounts for a part.

They most often eat pork and chicken.

They like to eat fatty meats and like to roast pork into ham.

Of course, such a delicacy is usually enjoyed only by the aristocracy.

Civilians can only enjoy it during festivals.

During this period, the wheat they ate was still the original wild wheat seed, that is, single malto.

The yield of this wheat is so low that it is not possible to feed a large number of people, and it is necessary to supplement their food with olives and animal husbandry.

Barley, on the other hand, is used to bake bread.

Of course, bread is not available to everyone.

Only the nobility could enjoy bread.

Which poor people, as a rule, can only drink porridge.

Because of war and disease, coupled with their low productivity, the land is not fertile, and the cultivation of food is very low.

During this period, there were countless poor people in Europe who could not fill their stomachs.

Deliver grain to them, and there is absolutely no need to worry about selling.

And Shangguan Yi, when he heard Li Su's words, couldn't help but widen his eyes, revealing a look of surprise.

What he never expected was that from Datang to here, there were already tens of thousands of miles away.

And further east from here, there is actually a continent.

Is the place where they live so big?

Shangguan Yi couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Your Majesty, is the place where we live so big?" Is that land already at the end of the sky? ”

In the cognition of the ancients, it has always been believed that the sky is round and the place is round.

If you keep walking in one direction, you can reach the end of the world.

When Li Su heard Shangguan Yi's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "That land is called Europe, and if you go east along that land, you can reach Datang." ”

Shangguan Yi's eyes widened again.

Li Su was worried, afraid that his eyeballs would fall off.

"Your Majesty, how is this possible? Isn't that ridiculous? ”

"Tens of thousands of miles east from Datang will come to the Golden State, and from the Golden State to the east, to Europe. And then Europe further east, you can return to the Tang Dynasty? This, how is this possible? ”

Li Su smiled and said, "However, the land we live in, we can call it the earth." She's a sphere, and if you circle around her, won't she turn back again? ”

In a trance, Shangguan Yi seemed to remember that there seemed to be such a statement recently.

They say that the place where they live is round.

Shangguan Yi scoffed at this statement and didn't believe it at all.

How is this possible?

It's a round place!

How could it be a ball?

Shangguan Yi couldn't help but ask with a strange face: "Your Majesty, but if the place where we live is called the earth, and the earth is a round ball, how can people who live under the autumn fall down?" ”

Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Su couldn't help but show helplessness.

This problem is really hard to explain.

But if you don't explain, I guess this guy won't give up.

Li Su couldn't help explaining: "This is to think that there is a gravitational force. Gravitational attraction is the attraction between two objects. ”

"When the object is big enough, the force is enormous. For example, why do you jump up and fall to the ground? Why do apples fall down? ”

Hearing Li Su's question, Shangguan Yi's face couldn't help but show a blank look: "Isn't this all a natural thing?" What is the reason? ”

What is God's natural nature?

Next, Li Su patiently explained to Shangguan Yi what gravity is.

And Shangguan Yi listened with a blinded face, nodding his head, but Li Yu intuitively felt that he didn't understand at all.

In the end, Li Su didn't bother to explain to him.

If you understand it, you will understand it, and if you don't understand it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to understand it in a short time.

And Shangguan Yi probably understands that it will be difficult for him to understand it for a while.

So, he didn't ask this question, but went back to selling grain.

Shangguan Yi couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, where is Europe where there is a shortage of food?" If our grain is shipped, it will definitely be sold? ”

Li Su smiled slightly, and then said, "Where is the lack of food? Where the land is mostly barren, coastal, multi-island. ”

Well, in fact, the land of Europe is not so barren.

The European continent has the largest proportion of plains in the world.

But because of the light problem, there is no way for it to achieve three or two crops a year.

Coupled with the problem of growing grain and tools, its current grain output is indeed not comparable to that of Datang.

Of course, the reason why Li Su didn't tell Shangguan Yi the truth was just so that Shangguan Yi could have a clearer understanding of the current situation on the European continent.

"Where, many people can only drink porridge to survive. Therefore, wherever our grain goes, we must not worry about selling. ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, but soon, he began to hesitate.

"Your Majesty, they are so poor that they can't even eat. This is a good thing, but where do they get the money to buy our food? ”

Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Su couldn't help but smile and said: "They are poor there, but it doesn't mean that they don't have good things!" ”

"They still have a lot of resources. You can let them exchange resources for it! ”

"And, where can we open a factory. Because of poverty, they can't eat, so they can almost be fed, and if they are given very little wages, they can recruit a large number of workers. ”

"Then, we can also show them movies and promote the benefits of our Huaxia City. We can let more people immigrate to our Golden State! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Shangguan Yi's eyes finally lit up.

He still doesn't understand, what does the emperor want to do?

This routine, he is so familiar with it!

It's not the first time they've done this kind of thing.

Now, a lot of people have immigrated to Huaxia City.

But this is far from enough for Huaxia City!

It would be great if people from the European continent could start to immigrate here as well.

Moreover, what the emperor wants is not only this.

To borrow the words of the emperor, the emperor also wants to engage in a cultural invasion.

Let them be assimilated into our culture before they know it.

This kind of routine is simply too yin, and Shangguan Yi is too familiar to him.

And Li Su, after seeing the slightly obscene expression on Shangguan Yi's face, immediately knew what he was thinking.

Then, Li Su couldn't help but remind him: "Prime Minister Shangguan, the current situation in Europe is different from the situation in other places. ”

"If we engage in cultural invasion, it will definitely cause them to be vigilant and backlash. It was a land of ignorance, where people's minds were imprisoned and could not tolerate the slightest point of view that was different from theirs. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi couldn't help frowning and asked, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, how can we open a factory where?" Can't do it if you want to play a movie? Not to mention, to let them emigrate. ”

Li Su smiled and said: "The people in power on that continent, they are not only ignorant, but also greedy. Just give them a small profit and they will allow us to do a lot of things. ”

And by the time they found out that something was wrong, it was too late. Their people have been brainwashed by us. Do you think, when the time comes, will those people still believe in their rulers? ”

Shangguan Yi couldn't help but glance at Li Su deeply.

The emperor is still ruthless and treacherous enough!

Shangguan Yi was naïve to think that the emperor just wanted a cultural invasion.

What he never expected was that what the emperor wanted was to brainwash their people, and then use their hands to overthrow their rule.

I have to say that the emperor is really despicable and treacherous!

And Li Su then said to Shangguan Yi: "Prime Minister Shangguan, I should do this matter myself." ”

"After the road is opened, when the time comes, you can find someone to handle the rest of the matter."

Hearing Li Su's words, Shangguan Yi's face immediately changed greatly, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Your Majesty, don't do it at this time." ”

Li Su asked puzzledly, "Oh, why not?" ”

Shangguan Yi said fiercely: "Your Majesty, the son of a daughter can't sit in the hall, and he can't be in danger of the wall, Your Majesty!" If you are so ignorant, how can you, Your Majesty, risk your life? ”

Li Su couldn't help laughing and said, "Prime Minister Shangguan, you're too worried." ”

"This trip, I went the most appropriate. Because, apart from me, you will hardly find someone who can understand all their national languages! In terms of communication, there is no way to communicate. ”

Shangguan Yi was speechless when he said this.

When it comes to language, the emperor's ability is indeed unmatched.

Eh, the emperor's ability, not only in language?

I think that at the beginning, when the emperor had never been to the Golden State, he was able to understand the indigenous language of the Golden State.

And now, the emperor has also never been to Europe, and he can understand the languages of all European countries.

I have to say that the emperor is really the real son!

There are so many things that you really are born to know.

In this matter, the emperor is right, there is indeed no more suitable person than the emperor.

Who else can understand so many languages?

It's just that the emperor's security has to be guarded against!

Shangguan Yi is really worried about Li Su's safety.

After all, Li Su is his confidant in Shangguanyi.

Those who take care of each other are called confidants.

Those who communicate with each other are called bosom friends.

Those who add up to their kindness are called confidants.

If it weren't for Li Su, he would still be a poor scholar at this time.

It was Li Su who appreciated him and gave him a stage to show his revenge.

And once Li Su has any accidents, Shangguan Yi's ambition is afraid that it will collapse directly.

Moreover, Shangguan Yi had a very bad premonition.

When the time comes, I'm afraid that there will be no one who can subdue Wu Meiniang.

I'm afraid that only Li Su is here can make Wu Meiniang jealous.

And Li Su also seemed to see Shangguan Yi's worries, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Prime Minister Shangguan, you can rest assured, my safety is definitely not a problem." ”
