Lantian County Ya.

Liu Qi saw the person sent by Li Xiao and took the letter presented. The more I looked at it, the more frowning I became, and I was even a little frightened.

Li Xiao did not hide anything from Liu Qi in the letter, saying that an unknown group of cavalry tried to enter the village to grab corn seeds.

"It's audacious, lawless." Liu Qi slapped the table angrily. He put away the letter and looked down at Zhang Cong in front of him, "How is the situation in Lijiazhuang?" ”

"When the little one came, the group had already retreated, but my family Lang Jun said that he didn't know if he would kill the horse gun, so he asked the little one to come to report to the county monarch quickly, and asked the county monarch to report to Chang'an immediately, and send some people to Lanxi to help protect the corn seeds. Lang Jun said that this corn seed is very important, and His Majesty is very concerned, if it is robbed by lawless people, it will be terrible. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Qi nodded.

He was both shocked and a little sighing in his heart, he didn't expect that he was still persuading Li Xiao to accept his recommendation a few days ago, and come to Lantian County to help him and serve as the county secretary. But at that time, Li Xiao refused, he only wanted to be his friend of the house, or a friend who was not bound by money or money.

At that time, he still felt that Li Xiao was a little willful, and the Liu family in Hedong was also very powerful.

But now it seems that he still underestimated Li Xiao.

In the blink of an eye, they have been recommended by the governor of Yongzhou, and the emperor has been crowned by the emperor and has become the six-product supervisor of the newly established corn supervisor.

It's like being in the clouds.

If you don't know enough about Li Xiao, you really can't believe this kind of thing. Because he knew that Li Xiao had too many unusual things, when he saw Li Xiao's handwritten letter at this time, he had no doubts about the astonishing words mentioned above.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao not only has chili peppers in his hands that can add spiciness, but also such powerful corn. Dry land can also produce two or three stones per mu at will, which is simply an incredible crop. It is suitable for vegetables and grains, both north and south, easy to store and easy to plant, and the yield is high.

If this corn is promoted, it will really allow Datang to increase a lot of grain.

Not to mention other places, just Guanzhong can add countless grains every year. In the past, Guanzhong was narrow and crowded, Guanzhong only had a good place in the Central Plain, and the rest of the places were either the Qinling Mountains or the Loess Plateau in Weibei, and then to the west of Longyou and Hexi, it was difficult to produce self-sufficient places.

In Chang'an alone, the imperial court had to rely on the Kanto Jiangnan to transport grain every year, and at least two million stone of grain was transported every year, and the manpower and material resources consumed by these two million stone grain were amazing.

If Guanzhong can increase the production of grain by another 2 million stones, then Guanzhong will no longer need to transfer grain from the south of the Kanto River, and I don't know how much manpower, material and financial resources will be saved.

Even, if the corn is really so powerful, then it will be planted in the fields of Longyou, Hexi, and Hetao, and the production will be increased in large quantities, then the border army of Weifu there no longer needs to worry about the dilemma of military grain transfer, and with the guarantee of military food, the army of the imperial court will no longer have to worry about not being able to face the harassment of the Tubo, Western Turks, Tuyuhun people, Qiang people and other barbarians, and the northwest will be as stable as a mountain.

What an astonishing vista it is, and imagine being able to tremble with excitement. After all, there are few in Guanzhong and the Northwest Plain, especially in drought and rain, and the yield of corn and wheat is low, and even many places cannot grow these grains, but this corn is obviously different.

It is completely normal that the prime ministers attach importance to corn, and the emperor attaches importance to corn.

It is normal for someone to want to grab corn.

Keeping corn is bound to be a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi immediately began to write letters, and he wrote many letters in a row, including reports to the Yongzhou Yamen, private letters to his brother-in-law Xue Rengui, as well as reports to the Political Affairs Hall and Sinong Temple on behalf of Li Xiao, and distress letters to Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin.

After the letter was written, people were summoned to report to Chang'an immediately.

"County Lieutenant Wang, Supervisor Li of Sinong Temple is at home in Lanxi Township when a large number of horse thieves surround the village, and in broad daylight, a large number of horse thieves actually appeared in our county, which is our dereliction of duty. Especially right now, there are still extremely important treasures in Li Jianzheng's house, which are corn seeds that the Son of Heaven and the prime ministers are also very concerned about, and we have to rescue Li Jiazhuang immediately to protect the seeds. ”

County Lieutenant Wang didn't know that Li Xiao had become Li Jianzheng, and he was a little confused about what Liu Qi said about Li Jianzheng in Lanxi Township, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Liu Qi explained a few more words, and he was stunned to know that it turned out that Li Xiao had actually become the supervisor of the sixth grade.

It's incredible.

"County Lieutenant Wang?"

County Lieutenant Wang was excited, and hurriedly said, "Guarding the border and keeping the people safe, catching thieves and thieves, and maintaining law and order are my county lieutenant's duties." There is a large number of horse thieves entering the country and disturbing my villagers, how can it be reasonable. Liuxian Order, please sit in the county government, and the lower officials immediately convene the county officials, notify all townships and districts to send township strongmen, and immediately go to support Li Jianzheng, search for those horse thieves, and return Lantian County to a bright future. ”

"The stakes are very high, this county and County Lieutenant Wang are going together, you hurry up and gather more people." Liu Qi said uneasily.

Although there are few officials in the county government, there are many officials, and these officials are basically the children of the big clans in the townships. Liu Qi and the four giants of Wang County, Liu Xiancheng, and Zhang Zhushu arranged together, how could everyone not respond quickly.

So they sent their entourage to the countryside to rush to the family, so that the family could quickly transfer people.

In addition, they also notified all townships and districts to quickly gather strong men to go to Lanxi Township to suppress bandits and catch thieves and defend corn.

None of the four chiefs was even willing to stay in the county seat, they all knew that this was a rare opportunity, and in the end, there was no way, so the four of them decided to lead the team to Lanxi together.

All the white straights, soldiers, and even wardens and menzi who served in the county government were all gathered.

On the streets of Lantian County, where there were not many people, the four county lords all wore green official robes, all wearing horizontal knives and carrying bows and arrows.

With hundreds of officials, retinues, and businessmen, men, and strong men temporarily gathered in the county, they rushed to Lanxi.

Out of the county office, Liu Xian Ling was afraid that there would not be enough people, and if he really did it with the hundred horsemen, he would suffer a loss, so he asked people to call the village chief in the villages he passed through, and then gathered the young people in the village to rush to Lanxi together.

The team snowballed and got bigger and bigger.

On the Blue Martial Road, some of the business travelers who passed by were a little dumbfounded when they looked at this huge team.

In front of him were officials in green robes riding horses, carrying swords and bows, and even carrying spears.

Behind them were a group of fishermen with iron rulers and chains, servants with long sticks, many farmers with hoes and shovels, blacksmiths with hammers, fishermen with harpoons, and so on.

"Is this a riot?" Some people were frightened.

"It's impossible, can't it be that Lantian County ordered the people to rebel, right?"

"The county order led the people to rebel? How is this possible. ”

"But this look, it's really a bit similar."

"I guess something is wrong!" Someone stroked his beard and said.
