Not long after returning from Jia Tan's mansion, the edict of the imperial court reward soon came down, and the matter of Wei Renshijue's advancement to the first rank spread all over Chang'an.

The rewards, except for the ten maids, were all handed over to Cui Heng, and he was temporarily used as the capital weapons supervisor for the time being, which should be enough for a while.

Cui Heng found money for the capital's ordnance supervisor and left happily.

Wei Renshi was dragged by a group of gentlemen to drink and get drunk, and he stayed at home for two days before he finally recovered.

"Lang Jun is better today?" Xi'er asked while bringing Wei Renshi food.

Wei Renshi nodded, and was about to answer, but suddenly heard the voice of the family outside, and said: "Qi Xiaolang, there is a sergeant outside, who says that he is under Xiaolang's account, and he has a letter to report to Xiaolang." ”

When Wei Renshi heard this, he said outside, "Bring him here." ”

The family received the order and left. After a while, he came back again and said, "Xiaolang, the person has arrived." ”

"Humble to the general! General Li ordered the lowly post to come to report to the general, saying that Annan had a reply. The sergeant outside said to Wei Renshi inside.

"What?!" Wei Renshi suddenly stood up and was startled.

Wei Renshi hurriedly went over and opened the door, and asked the sergeant outside, "What did you say?" Annan?! ”

Without waiting for the sergeant to answer, Wei Renshi immediately walked out again: "Go!" Go now! ”

Since it was Annan who replied to the letter, and he returned to Youjin Wuwei, it must have been sent back by those who were sent out to find Champa rice. That is to say, the news that came back must be about Champa rice!

Wei Renshi hurried to the Jinwu Guard, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Li Liang waiting there.

As soon as Li Liang saw Wei Renshi, he immediately came over and said, "Brother Renshi, Dao ...... Rice! The rice seed has been found! ”

Zhancheng rice was there, Wei Renshi was not surprised, but when he heard it with his own ears, he was still inevitably excited in his heart.

"Tell me about it!" Wei Renshi hurriedly said.

Li Liang handed over a piece of paper with some ciphertext on it. This is the method that Wei Renshi taught those ten people before they left. The two sides agree on the same book, and then use Arabic numerals to indicate the number of pages, lines, and first words of the book, separated by a pound sign. Anyway, no one in Datang knows this kind of numbers and symbols at the moment. This prevents messages from being leaked.

Wei Renshi quickly took out a book from the big tent and looked for its corresponding words in the book according to the ciphertext on the paper.

In a short time, the ciphertext was translated into text.

Wei Renshi looked at it carefully, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but shout: "Okay! ”

"Sure enough, they found the kind of rice seed I said in the Ring Kingdom! It also verifies what I said before, three crops a year. Wei Renshi raised his head and said excitedly to Li Liang: "Go!" Let's go to the East Palace immediately! ”

Now that the rice seeds have been found, you can tell Li Yu and let Li Yu tell Li Shi.

The two of them left the barracks and quickly went to the East Palace. When I arrived at the East Palace, I didn't wait long to see Li Yu.

"What happened to the two generals?" Li Yu saw the two of them, asked with a smile, and said, "I haven't congratulated General Wei on entering the first class!" ”

"It's all Your Majesty's trust!" Wei Renshi said a word, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the people sent to the Kingdom of Huan sent back a letter, and the minister said that the kind of rice seed was really found by them!" ”

"What?!" Li Yu stood up suddenly: "Quick, tell me the details!" ”

"Your Highness, after the spies we sent arrived in the Ring Kingdom, it didn't take much effort to find the three crops of rice. Just to confirm this matter, those spies personally stayed in the Ring Kingdom, followed the old farmers of the Ring Kingdom to farm, learned how to plant three crops of rice, and witnessed that it only took about fifty days for the planted rice seeds to mature and harvest! From cultivation to harvesting, it also verifies what the previous minister said. That's when the news came back. They have already begun to try to buy a large number of rice seeds in the country, and after the purchase, they will transport them to Guangzhou! Wei Renshi said as he handed over a few pieces of letter paper in his hand to Li Yu.

Li Yu immediately took it and looked at it carefully, and when he saw the information about the Ring Kingdom collected by those few people, he was immediately taken aback, and couldn't help but exclaim: "In just the Ring Kingdom, the grain harvested every year can actually exceed the total number of several major grain-producing Dao in the Tang Dynasty combined!" This...... As far south as the coast and west as Tianzhu in the west, most areas only have one summer season a year, and they can be cultivated all year round?! ”

Looking further back, the kingdom of the ring is rich in a variety of rare gems, and there are countless gold mines......

"This ...... This is really ......" Li Yu's hand holding the pieces of paper trembled slightly, and his lips seemed to tremble uncontrollably.

"Your Highness!" Wei Renshi was afraid that he would be too excited, so he hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, don't be too excited!" ”

Li Yu took a few deep breaths in a row, and then he relieved himself and opened his mouth to say: "Since this matter has been verified now, I should immediately report it to Your Majesty, personally issue an order to protect those people and others, and escort the rice seeds!" ”

As he spoke, he looked down at the paper again, and then he came up with the numbers on it. Li Yu didn't know that those were numbers, so he said, "What are these patterns?" ”

"Oh, Your Highness, these are numbers, another way of writing one to ten. However, when used here, the minister calls it ciphertext. These three sets of numbers, the first represents the number of pages, the second represents the number of lines in the page, and the third represents the words in the line. In this way, according to the same book, you can find the corresponding words, put them together, and spell out the content. Written in this kind of ciphertext, even if the letter is intercepted or an accident is suffered, you are not afraid of revealing the inside story! ”

"Oh?!" Li Yu looked at the paper in his hand in surprise and said, "If this method is used to transmit confidential letters in the DPRK or the army, it is excellent!" Especially the secret report in the army, I am not afraid of being intercepted by the enemy! General Wei is full of ideas, he is really a god, and he really doesn't know how General Wei's brain grows, how can he always think of ways that others can't think of! ”

"This is also the method that the minister and General Li came up with together when they trained those people in order to be more confidential." Wei Renshi said with a smile.

"This method can be very useful, and with this article alone, the two generals can be rewarded! Not to mention this Champa rice! Li Yu was very excited, and said in a very excited tone: "Go!" The two generals immediately followed me to the palace! ”

The two nodded, and went out of the East Palace with Li Yu to find Li Shi.
