Chapter 169: A Heavenly Gift

A small car, three old horses from the west gate of Lin'an City slowly galloped out, when stepping on the westbound official road, the carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, a bearded old man trembling out of the simple carriage, looking at the majestic Lin'an City for a long time.

"You really don't have to send it?" On the city wall, Mo Ye looked back at Yu Tianxi who was looking back from afar, and couldn't help but say.

"Forget it, it only adds to the sadness. He didn't want these kinds of superficial work. ”

Jia Yidao looked at the vague and somewhat rickety figure, and said softly after being silent for a while.

Yu Tianxi looked at this majestic and ancient city, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

He had been in this city for most of his life. From the beginning of following my father to Shifu to do that teaching, until now he has hung up his crown. There are so many memories of him in this city.

It was in this city that he taught from a young age, and step by step became an important minister in the Great Song Dynasty, enjoying all kinds of glory. For the Great Song Dynasty, he worked hard for decades, but in the end, it was difficult for people to win the sky.

As I get older, I naturally think more.

A few dark shadows loomed over the city walls.

The two eyes seemed to cross the limits of space at this moment. Yu Tianxi seemed to have seen the affirmation in the young man's eyes, and Jia Yidao seemed to have seen the entrustment and relief in the old man's eyes.

"Let's go."

Yu Tianxi took a deep look at the golden Lin'an City under the sunset, as if he wanted to engrave all the bits and pieces of this city that left his half-life memories in his eyes, and then resolutely turned around.

"Drive!"

With the crisp sound of the whip and the shouts of the coachmen, the humble carriage wheeled away, faded away, and finally disappeared into the place where the sun had set.

Without any old friends, no thirty-mile pavilion farewell, not even a glass of practice wine, Yu Tianxi, who had been busy for most of his life for the Great Song Dynasty, left Lin'an City quietly.

Maybe no one thought that Yu Tianxi was gone, but he never returned to this city that haunted him in this life, once parted, but it became forever, how many people can explain and understand the things in the world?

It wasn't until the next day, when Zhao Yun issued an edict ordering Yu Tianxi to enter the palace to face the saint and arrive at Yufu, the news that Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, Guanwendian University, Governor of the Palace, and Yu Tianxi, the head of the household, was known.

When the news came, the government and the opposition were shocked. Following the former right prime minister Cui He, Yu Tianxi is the second important minister of the court to hang the crown in the Lizong Dynasty.

For Yu Tianxi's sudden hanging of the crown, most of the courtiers were the second monk who was confused. The real insider is only a small number of knowledgeable Taoists.

It is said that after seeing Yu Tianxi's letter, Zhao Yun once again smashed a few of his beloved jade cups in the Qinzheng Palace. While ordering someone to chase Yu Tianxi with an edict, he urgently summoned the ministers of the court to discuss the purchase of grain by tens of millions of people, but he never mentioned half a sentence to the new head of the household department. Obviously, even if Yu Tianxi has hung up his crown, Zhao Yun still has a glimmer of hope for Yu Tianxi, hoping to find him back and continue to control the household department.

At this time, Zhao Yun naturally didn't know what to do, after resending tens of millions of people to buy grain, the household department Shangshu and even the household servant have become a place for mines in the eyes of hundreds of officials, and there is really no one who wants to pick up such a thunder that will definitely explode in the future if it does not explode now.

However, these things have nothing to do with Jia Nidao. When Zhao Yun summoned the ministers, he thought that there was something in the tent of the disaster victims outside the city, and he easily got out, so he naturally would not get involved in these things at this time.

When Zhao Yun was still worried about the meeting of 10 million yuan to buy grain, Jia Rudao was watching the training of the 50,000 regiment in the camp of the 50,000 regiment of the general division of the city outside the city, accompanied by Zhao Yi, Zhou Bo and Qiu Shang.

It has been nearly two months since the beginning of recruiting regimental troops for training and officially giving them the upper echelons for training. However, this was the first time that Jia Yidao had visited this tent to see these strong people recruited from the displaced people he rescued.

Maybe it's because the young man who walked forward leisurely with his hands on his back and a little smile on his back was the Lord Fuzun and Uncle Guo who saved more than a million people and the whole family, so the shouts and kills of these regiments were particularly loud.

In the past two months, these people who have only touched hoes and brooms before finally have a little bit of a murderous aura that belongs to soldiers. However, for Jia Yidao, this is too far from the soldiers he wants.

"From these 50,000, select 10,000 elite people who are strong and strong, and practice their riding skills diligently. Soon after, the official will send a batch of horse armor and weapons. Use the armor and weapons of the horse army sent by the official to select people. I just want the best cavalry. Even if only a thousand people can be elected. ”

Jia Rudao stood on the high watchtower, looking at the dense Qianmo orderly below, shouting to kill the 50,000 recruits who shook the sky, and his heart was a little surging for no reason.

If it is said that the volley of 10,000 guns in later generations can make people see the cruelty and danger of war, then the collision between people in the era of pure cold weapons can truly express the grandeur and majesty of war.

Others don't know, but Jia Rudao himself understands that as long as he doesn't deliberately refuse or change, one day, he will personally lead countless stubborn armor soldiers into battle.

50,000 people is already so magnificent, what kind of scene should hundreds of thousands of people fight to capture people's hearts?

"The last will obey! Adults are relieved. ”

Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Zhao Yi, Zhou Bo, and Qiu Sheng didn't feel anything. Although the Great Song Dynasty is short of war horses, the war horses needed by the 10,000 horse army can still be taken out, and with the current identity of the uncle, no one dares to deliberately embarrass him.

However, later, when they really saw the batch of armor specially made for the cavalry sent by Jia Rudao, they realized how wrong they were in today's package ticket.

Of course, that's all for later.

After staying in the regimental training camp for half an hour, Jia Rudao left in a hurry. This time he left, except for Mo Ye and Jia Quan'er, he also took the king with him.

There are already people jumping off the wall in a hurry, and life is still very important. After all, Mo Ye is still the envoy of Dali, he can't go anywhere and take him with him as if he was bringing a follower, right?

He didn't worry too much about Jiafu, after Sun Kui's incident, there were more than ten inner temple direct forbidden troops in Jiafu, all of which were specially given by Zhao Yun to protect him, but they were all thrown by him in Jiafu.

After leaving the regimental training camp, Jia Rudao hurried to the camp for the resettlement of displaced people.

Seeing Jia Rudao coming, he had already received the news and was waiting outside the camp for Yu Ci, Zhou Tan, Qin Shou and others, as well as the officials of Lin'an Mansion large and small, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Sprouted?"

After seeing the salute, Jia Rudao dismissed a cadre of officials and asked them to continue to go and go to their own business, grabbing Yu Ci and saying urgently.

For more than three months, Yu Ci, who was originally personable, has darkened a lot. But maybe it's because of his important position, the scholarly spirit on his body is almost worn out, and he is much more stable and aggressive than before.

"Back to the adult's words, the whole ten acres have sprouted."

Yu Ci didn't understand why Jia Yidao would be so concerned about that little thing, and even ordered him to be in charge of the ten acres of land, and other idlers were not allowed to approach. However, he was accustomed to Jia Rudao's arrangement, although he had doubts in his heart, he still arranged it conscientiously.

"Let's go, let's see."

Saying hello to Zhou Tan and Qin Shou, Jia Rudao took the lead and strode away. Seeing Jia Rudao like this, Yu Ci, Zhou Tan and Qin Shou glanced at each other, smiled bitterly and had to follow quickly.

Maybe it's because they've been working together for a long time, Zhou Tan and Yu Ci, who didn't look down on Qin Shou very much, are now gradually getting acquainted with Qin Shou, and they have a lot more understanding of each other, but the relationship is much more harmonious than before.

……

The not-so-large verdant landscape looks abrupt in a boundless stretch of newly reclaimed farmland.

Jia Rudao carefully peeled off the soil, and carefully looked at the few touches of tender green that were desperately squeezed out of the soil, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, if there is an old man in later generations here, he must be able to recognize it immediately, what are these shoots of different sizes that are not the most planted sweet potatoes in the wasteland in later generations?

That's right, that's sweet potatoes. It is also one of the important hole cards for Jia Yidao to deal with Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and others.

The appearance of this sweet potato was a complete accident. And thanks to Mo Ye.

Because Jia Yidao was able to discover this sweet potato, it was completely thanks to Mo Ye's blessing. The bred sweet potato was found by Jia Yidao from Mo Ye's baggage. And the sweet potato was about to be thrown away by Mo Ye, but he found it and checked it back.

According to Mo Ye, this sweet potato was bought by him and Ah Ruan on their way from Dali to Lin'an, and when they passed through Quanzhou, they used it as dry food. In Jia Rudao's opinion, it should be the big food merchant who brought it to Quanzhou and was bought by the merchant.

Of course, it doesn't matter where this sweet potato came from, the important thing is that the sweet potato that should have appeared in the land of China after a few hundred years appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty today, whether it is for the Southern Song Dynasty or for Jia Nidao, its importance is self-evident.

Mo Ye and Ah Ruan just felt that sweet potatoes had a unique taste, they were eaten fresh, and the price was not expensive, but for Jia Nidao, who understood the characteristics of sweet potatoes, it was an unexpected joy from heaven.

This sweet potato is the last one left by Ah Ruan, and he has always been reluctant to eat it. When she remembered it, it was put in the package, and I don't know how to get it, but it sprouted directly.

Seeing the sweet potato sprouting, Ah Ruan, who didn't know what it was, hesitated for a moment, and threw the sweet potato directly in the garden, but it happened to be seen by Jia Yidao, which made him ecstatic.

Sweet potatoes are simple to grow, as long as one sprouts, the vines are cut and inserted into the soil to survive, and more importantly, it is too productive and easier to eat.

The emergence of such a food is a perfect match for the Great Song Dynasty, which has suffered many years of war and disasters.

"Adult ......"

Seeing that Jia Rudao couldn't wait to lie on the ground, Yu Ci really couldn't look past it, and reminded in a low voice.

"Gongming, from now on, you will personally guard this ten acres of land, and I will order someone to hand over the official affairs in your hands. These little things, if anything happens, I'm the only one who asks. ”

Jia Rudao got up and patted the dirt on his body, looked at Qin Shou and said in a positive voice.

Qin Shou was stunned, and then hurriedly responded. In his heart, he secretly made up his mind, and when he waited, he ordered someone to build a grass hut next to these ten acres of green seedlings, and he would eat and live here in the future.

He knew better than anyone else that everything he had was actually based on Jia Rudao's willingness to use him. If even Jia Yidao gave up on him, then he was truly worthless.

He is already famous in Lin'an City, except for Jia Yidao who dares to use it, no one will give him a chance.

Although I don't know what these green seedlings are, as long as Jia Yidao attaches importance to them, it is enough to show their importance. What else is the most important thing about the needs of the Lord Bien?

"Shixian, can you tell me what this thing is now? I know you know,"

At this time, Mo Ye finally spoke.

His words can be regarded as asking everyone's hearts. Hearing Mo Ye's words, all the people, including Yu Ci and Qin Shou, also looked at Jia Yidao with a curious expression, obviously, they had wanted to ask this sentence for a long time, but they didn't dare to ask it.

"This? This thing you brought to me is so precious. Even comparable to hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

"What?"

Mo Ye's eyes widened in a rare way, and he exclaimed. Yu Ci, Qin Shou and the others next to them heard Jia Yidao's words, but they unconsciously quietly put their steps together, and the things that could top hundreds of thousands of troops were under their feet, and the pressure was really great.

"You're lying to me again!"

After a while, Mo Ye choked. However, his expression showed that he had believed it, but he just wanted Jia Rudao to tell the ins and outs of this thing as it was.

"I named this thing sweet potato, you have eaten it, you should know that this is something that can save people's lives, and in my hands, it is something that can save hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of lives. Do you say it matters? "Jia seems to be right.

"But how can you produce food without seeds?"

Others don't know the way, but Mo Ye knows the way, this thing can really be eaten. But when he thought of eating, Mo Ye was a little melancholy for no reason. If these are all true, one thing can save hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of lives, then how many lives can he and Ah Ruan eat a whole two packages all the way?

"It's a secret, and I won't tell you. Alas...... Don't be angry, wait two or three months and you'll understand. Oh yes, this thing, if you want it, when it comes out of the grain, I'll give it to you to take some back to Dali. ”

Jia Rudao understood the panic on Mo Ye's face, and while he was amused, he sold it again.

Sample, let you think about walking every day. If you don't see this thing come out now, you won't leave. The Great Song Dynasty needs it, and the Dali Kingdom, which has just been ****ed by the Mongols, obviously needs it more than the Great Song Dynasty.

"Good!"

Mo Ye was obviously waiting for Jia Yidao's words.

"You don't have to be so nervous, this thing is very hard, as long as you don't step on it directly, it can live." Jia Rudao turned his head to look at Yu Ci, Zhou Tan, Qin Shou, Wang Shan and others who were trembling and seemed to dare not even fall on their feet, and helplessly supported their foreheads.

Everyone smiled bitterly at him, but they still didn't dare to move.

Seeing this, Jia Rudao didn't bother to say more, letting them understand that this thing was precious, at least they wouldn't neglect these things. You must know that the entire Great Song Dynasty now has only these ten acres, and every sweet potato seedling is a thousand gold.

"Those who are about to return to their hometowns and those who want to stay in Lin'an Mansion have all been registered?" Leading everyone out of the sweet potato field, Jia Rudao finally asked the main purpose of his visit today.

"Back to my lord, only 20% of the people are left before the book has been completed. The officials of the prefecture are working overtime to complete the work. "This matter was arranged by Zhou Tanlai, so when he heard Jia Yidao's words, he hurriedly responded.

Although nearly 500,000 acres of farmland have been reclaimed around Lin'an City, more than 200,000 acres of this will be handed over to the soldiers of the front division of the palace for reclamation after the disaster, which means that there are only less than 300,000 acres of land that can really be given to the people.

Moreover, it is obviously impossible for all of the more than a million displaced people to stay around Lin'an City, so that all kinds of pressure on Lin'an City will increase sharply. But some of them are still okay.

Therefore, according to Jia Yidao's request, Lin'an Mansion began to do this when it sowed the 500,000 mu of newly reclaimed fields. Some remained, and the remaining, and the vast majority, had to be repatriated to their places of origin.

Of course, even if Jia seems to be not repatriated, those people are displaced
