Food, clothing, housing and transportation, this is a big thing!

Now that Ding Yi has a place to build a city, he needs countless money. We can't let go of all kinds of ways to make money.

Li Er and the others thought they had heard it wrong, and collected 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 had a big plan in his heart! So he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if we use salt and iron to buy wool from the steppe tribes such as Xue Yantuo, Murwei, and Huifu, the Turks will definitely not be able to bear it. As for the detailed plan, I still have to figure out how to do it! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is in a hurry, why does this kid not know the importance and uses salt and iron to buy useless wool from the grassland!

"Salt and iron are all in short supply in my Tang Dynasty, how can they be sold to the grassland tribes, this is an enemy!"

"That's it! Needless to say, you can't do it! "Li Er is also not allowed.

Ding Yi said calmly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister came back this time because he had something to tell His Majesty. ”

Li Er said: "What is there to discuss later!" ”

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

Li Er and the others all looked at Ding Yi incredulously, salt is an important national material, and it has been a shortage since ancient times, and now Ding Yi said that he can solve it! And how can it not be surprising!

"Do you really have a solution?" Li Er asked with some disbelieving.

Ding Yi said indifferently: "Your Majesty, there is actually something else!" ”

"Don't look to him, I asked you about salt!" Li Er was very anxious to know that Ding Yi had any way to solve the lack of salt, and now the salt in the Tang Dynasty was controlled by the family, which had a great impact on Li Er's administration, if it could really be solved, it would be able to solve a lot of things!

"Shi Pinghou, just hurry up!" Several other people are also a little anxious, this unreliable boy!

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister wants to say that the minister has found something that can solve my lack of food in Datang." Ding Yi was ready to throw out the potatoes.

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

Steelmaking! Corn! Quyuan plow! Horseshoe! Now it's salt production again, and there are things that can solve the shortage of food in Datang. What else can't this kid solve!

"You...... Let's talk about them one by one! If this is the case, and what reward you want, tell me, and I will not treat you badly! "If these things can really be solved, then whatever Ding Yi wants, Li Er will agree, except for a few things!

"Shi Pinghou, say it quickly!" Fang Xuanling and the others are also very anxious, you always say that half is left and half is left, just talking about salt, you are talking about food again! Can you still communicate well?

Ding Yi looked at the four people with red eyes and was a little stunned, what are these four big men going to do!

"Your Majesty...... The minister found the potato! This potato is also a thing from Chen's hometown, this thing is not picky, and it is easy to plant! There is about a yield of twenty or thirty stones per acre, well...... Not much in and out! ”

Twenty or thirty stones! Yield per acre! Don't pick the ground yet!

Is there such a thing? It's a fetish! Li Er and the others looked at the serious Ding Yi, it didn't look like they were lying! It is estimated that he will not dare to lie, you dare to fool the emperor with this kind of thing, it is not the birthday star hanging himself, looking for death!

"Ding Yi, where is this thing? Seriously...... As powerful as you say? Li Er was already a little trembling, and his speech was a little unsmooth, so he walked down and grabbed Ding Yi's shoulder and asked.

"The minister has already planted potatoes next to the cornfield, this thing can be ripe in three months, and he doesn't like high temperatures, and it won't grow if it's too hot! However, this thing cannot be eaten raw, it cannot be regarded as a staple food, and can only be used as a supplementary food. There are many ways to eat, steamed, baked, fried, potato roasted beef, french fries, mashed potatoes, hot and sour shredded potatoes, dry potato strips, sauce roasted potato balls, pork ribs stewed potatoes, ah! Your Majesty, what do you do? As soon as Ding was talking, he thought of making some dishes with potatoes, and was suddenly slapped on the shoulder by Li Eryi.

"Shiping Hou, don't talk about how to eat it first, just according to what you said, this potato will yield twenty or thirty stones per mu as auxiliary food, and that will also make my Datang no longer have a famine!" Du Ruhui hurriedly said on the side.

"Boy, this thing is really as you said, so why should I worry about the famine, I ...... Hahahaha! Boy, it seems that I was right not to deal with you in the first place! Li Er said excitedly.

And Ding Yi was surrounded by four strong men at this time, dragging his arms and pinching his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, my lords, can you let go of the kid first."

"Haha...... Ahem! Li Er and the others listened to it funny, and they were very happy, and they couldn't help but leave tears when they laughed.

That's a bit of a big reaction!

"Your Majesty? This thing has just been planted now, and when the harvest comes, please preside over it! Ding Yi looked at the four people who were in tears and was a little shocked, he had heard of such a thing a long time ago. Now that I see it, I really feel different!

"Shiping Hou! Thank you! Thank you on behalf of all the people! Thank you for Datang! Li Er said and quietly wiped away the tears on his face.

"Marquis Shiping, the old man can see such a divine object in his lifetime, it is in vain in this life! The old man also thanked you for the people! Du Ruhui looked at Ding Yi and said sincerely.

Fang Xuanling, a literati, didn't know where to get the strength, grabbed Ding Yi's hand again and said: "The old man has never heard of such a divine object in his life, and he is fortunate in this life, thank Shi Pinghou here!" ”

The admiration in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji is even stronger, this kid is really good!

"Shiping Hou, when Chong'er said that you have a method of steelmaking, the old man didn't believe it. Now it seems that the old man is very wrong! The old man apologizes to you here, you really should be my lucky star of the Tang Dynasty! ”

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

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to do this, the boy also has the people of the world in his heart, and he can't bear to see them suffer because of food. That's what a kid should do! Ding Yi said with a righteous face.

Li Er was still standing in front of Ding Yi at this time, and he didn't know how to reward Ding Yi. Now he is only twelve years old, and it is not appropriate to be crowned a county official. If he didn't reward him, he was afraid of chilling his heart, so he asked: "Auxiliary, Keming, Xuanling." With 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, the minister did not offer this thing to ask for a reward from Your Majesty. The minister is for the people of the world, and this is all within the minister's responsibility. Since the minister arrived in Chang'an, he has been favored by His Majesty everywhere. He was even made a marquis by His Majesty, so the minister was bent on doing something for His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Er glanced at Ding Yi appreciatively and said, "You have such a great achievement, how can I be less rewarded!" Tell me what you want, and I will promise you! ”

Really, you have to give me a reward. O these vulgar people!

"Since Your Majesty has said so, the minister has a small request."

"You say!"

"The minister wants to build a city!"
