Cheng Zhijie lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, and said with a secret smile: "Hmph, I tell you people that it is Xia Worm Yubing, what science do you know; One day I will prove that I am right, and I have become a pioneer in science. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian felt that his elder brother was very interesting, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, what do you think?" As the saying goes, the sky is round and the earth is round; How do you say that the earth we live on is a ball? ”

Cheng Zhijie said: "When an ant climbs a ball the size of the Central Plains, he will think that the ground is flat under his feet. You have all seen the sun rise and fall, is it really that it is lifted up and down?

When we look into the distance, the sea, sky, and earth will connect the city, what is going on?

When we see a big ship approaching in the distance, we see the sail first, and then slowly see the hull, what is going on?

You have only a little bit of vision, and you have blinded yourself by your own assumptions. Learn to think outside the box. ”

Everyone was messy all of a sudden, and some people shouted that Cheng Zhijie was a fallacy and heresy, please long live him and drive him out; I would never work with such a demonic person.

Li Shimin saw Cheng Zhijie rolling his arms and sleeves with a big tongue to fight the crowd, pinched his eyebrows with his hand and said, "Everyone Aiqing, it's not good to quarrel." This is the end of the matter; No one is allowed to mention it again. Whether the earth is round or square has nothing to do with the crowd and the Tang Dynasty; The ministers only need to do their own things, and Hugh should take care of these irrelevant things. ”

When they heard this, they bowed down and stopped arguing.

Everyone went all the way to Liaodong, Luo Song took his generals out of the city to greet them, and then entered Liaoyang City together.

In the next period of time, everyone checked the living conditions of the people non-stop, and focused on understanding how Luo Song managed so many alien races in Liaodong.

Luo Song said to everyone: "In Liaodong, I have a butcher's knife and gold and silver in my hands. With the example of the Xi people, these aliens know how to choose; So they can consciously obey our laws.

And I will also regularly let them go to the Central Plains to communicate, which will further enhance their yearning, these people have a head, who will resist again? ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay!" General Luo is not only the best in the world in martial arts, but also a rare good hand in governing the local area. Did you hear me clearly? Later, you should study carefully. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly agreed.

After being busy in Liaodong for about half a month, they came to Jilin Prefecture; Li Shimin stood on the city of Pyongyang and still didn't believe it. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not complete the great cause of millions of troops, and he also put himself into it, and even let the small big demon kingdom do it.

"Admire! Fifth brother, I really admire the five-body throw! ”

Cheng Zhijie secretly said proudly in his heart: "Your Majesty, the world is big, and we have only made a little bit of success; In the future, His Majesty will take us to expand the territory; Yang Guowei! ”

Li Shimin slapped the city wall and said, "Yes, the husband should be like this!" Fifth brother, let's make an agreement, we must create a great territory that has never been seen before, and the name will be in history. ”

Cheng Zhijie nodded heavily, and then they entered Pyongyang together; After staying here for a few days, I went to Hanyang, Sihyun City and Xu Luofa City; Zhang Shigui took his new wife Jindeman out of the city to greet him.

"Congratulations! Shigui, you are really blessed! As soon as Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie met, they made fun of Zhang Shigui. Zhang Shigui laughed proudly and welcomed them into the city.

"Shigui, you haven't been here for a long time, are you still stable? Are there any difficulties? ”

"Long live Hui, Demon King, everything is fine in Jilin Prefecture now. Deman has helped me a lot, but we have a weak foundation here, and there are pirates, so please ask the navy to help me, and the merchants will take care of it. ”

Cheng Zhijie nodded and said, "Okay, I will explain this matter to Brother Zhang Ding." In addition, I will give you half of the business tax reduction. You also have to think of some ways yourself, Jilin Prefecture has many mountains and agriculture is underdeveloped, but there are also many benefits of mountains, wood, herbs, mountain delicacies, etc. are also your advantages.

But I can remind you that our ancestors have always said that it is too late to dry up and fish, and burn forests and hunt. You should understand the truth of overreach. If you leave this place without grass for me, and I remove you, you will give me a good place in this tree! ”

Zhang Shigui nodded again and again to show that he understood. Then Cheng Zhijie told him a lot of ways to develop, and Zhang Shigui and Jindeman listened to it with brilliance in their eyes; I quickly wrote it down.

When they all retreated, Li Shimin sighed and said, "Fifth brother, how did you come up with all this, it's really incredible, and it makes sense." ”

"Your Majesty, these are small paths, it is not surprising. I'm going to have a little bit of stuff, and everyone will be able to do it, and I can't do it if I am asked to think of a better way. ”

"Fifth brother is so humble."

The people stayed in Jilin Prefecture for nearly a month, and then came to the Wa Kingdom on a large ship of the navy. Ling Jingshuai, the first governor of Yingzhou, came to greet him. In the welcoming procession, there were also Han Zhu and others from the Xi tribe who had migrated over.

The Japanese occupation lasted a little longer, and everywhere you could hear children reading aloud in Chinese. Their pronunciation is so standard that it is almost impossible to tell whether they are from the Central Plains or from the Wa Kingdom.

Cheng Zhijie has always focused on the education and transformation of the Japanese people, and he did not ask Ling Jing about the livelihood here, but asked him to go straight to the school to see how these Japanese people are educated.

After the inspection was completed, Cheng Zhijie praised Ling Jing very much, and then began to ask about the livelihood income of the Japanese people.

Many of the people of Yingzhou have made a living from fishing, and fishing is also the largest industry in Yingzhou. Just recently, they accidentally caught a big fish more than ten zhang long, saying that they were going to dedicate it to His Majesty the Great Emperor.

Li Shimin became interested when he heard it, he led everyone to the coast, and sure enough, he found that there was a big fish lying here more than ten zhang long, and people stood in front of it like a winter melon with an egg in front of it.

Where have Li Shimin and the others seen such a behemoth, and they circled around several times and admired it.

Cheng Zhijie asked Ling Jing: "How did you catch this whale?" Ling Jing secretly pouted and said, "This guy is infinitely powerful, even our naval warships dare not approach casually." That's where these fishermen can catch it. It was this guy who ran to the beach on his own. ”

Cheng Zhijie laughed when he heard it. When they had seen enough, someone came up to kill and decompose little by little; It was distributed to all those present.

Li Shimin said to Cheng Zhijie: "Fifth brother, what kind of fish do you say this is?" How can it be so big? Could it be a sea dragon? ”

Cheng Zhijie said: "The ocean is so big, what precious things are not there?" Even if it's a sea dragon, don't you come ashore to visit you, the true dragon. ”

Everyone laughed together when they heard this, and Li Shimin was even more comfortable, and the laughter went straight to the sky.

They took Yingzhou for a while, then took a boat through Ryukyu and finally landed in Panyu, Lingnan. Here, Li Jing and Zhang Chuchen had already lined up at the beach to greet them.

"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I'm even more energetic." Cheng Zhijie and Li Jing joked as soon as they met.

Li Jing laughed and said: "The fifth brother is an unofficial and light, but he is even more wide-hearted and fat. The crowd laughed together.

Li Shimin looked at the merchant ships in the port and the people who were constantly loading and unloading goods, and couldn't help but sigh: "General Li really has the ability to turn the sea into a mulberry field." the former barren land, the barbarian place; Now it is so prosperous, even my Chang'an is ashamed of itself. ”

Li Jing waved his hand again and again: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, this is not my credit." This place is bustling pulled out by merchant ships, and I didn't do anything at all? It is estimated that if you change anyone, you can do it well as long as you put your heart into it. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but nod and said, "General Li said this well!" Attentively! It's a very simple two words, but it's an attitude towards life, and it's not easy to work hard! ”

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely. But when it comes to grades, I'm going to take you to see something. When they heard this, they were very curious, and followed him into the governor's mansion.

He took out three bags of rice and said to everyone: "Your Majesty, everyone, this is the rice we have harvested this year, you can take a look." ”

Everyone came forward to see that these rice were in average condition, and there was a lot of difference between them and the grains of the tribute rice.

Li Jing smiled when he saw everyone's surprised looks: "You see that there is no difference in these rice, but do you know that this is my third harvest this year." The temperature here is very high, the rice can be harvested three times a year, and the yield per mu reaches three stones after our cultivation, and the yield per mu is 900 stones, about 1,000 catties. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and Hula suddenly gathered around, as if they were looking at some rare treasure.

Li Jing then said with a smile: "We have gradually experimented with this kind of rice in Lingnan, although it is difficult to harvest three times a year, but it is more than enough to achieve two crops a year, and two crops a year can also be guaranteed in Jiangdu." Moreover, the Jiangnan area has abundant water resources.

As long as we develop Jiangnan well, when the time comes, Jiangnan will be ripe, and the world will be abundant; The people will never go hungry again, and there will be no more famine! ”

Li Jing's words were loud and sonorous; And when they heard this, they were all astonished; Li Shimin took a step back, and suddenly bowed to Li Jing and bowed deeply: "General, this is a great merit!" I am for the people of the world, thank you General! ”

Li Jing hurriedly dodged away, and then returned the salute: "The minister is not responsible, this is what the minister should do, and the minister does not dare to take credit." ”

Li Shimin and others stayed in Lingnan for more than half a month, focusing on inspecting the rice that crops three times a year and the merchant ships that came and went, and then left Lingnan and returned to Chang'an with satisfaction. 21010
