Chapter Seventy-Three: Peanuts

Under the leadership of Wang Hansheng's son, Lin Yi saw a small patch of sparse peanut seedlings swaying in the wind in a sandy land. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this familiar plant made Lin Yi's thoughts drift back to modern times. Lin Yi still remembers the first time he saw peanuts. Everything seemed to be a world away, and in the blink of an eye, I had left the world of the steel forest and returned to China thousands of years ago. Although what he sees and hears now is not like the dynasty recorded in the history books, this does not prevent Lin Yi from treating this era as the motherland he loves, and Lin Yi has never forgotten his identity as a descendant of Yan and Huang.

Looking at the plant in front of me, even though it was just peanuts, a very common food in modern times. However, in the modern era of scarce resources, if peanuts can be cultivated well and planted on a large scale, the pressure caused by the current lack of food can be greatly alleviated.

In this era, it was common to grow a type of rice with low yields. And this yield will continue to decrease due to weather, pests, land and other factors. Even a layman like Lin Yi understands that not all places are suitable for growing rice. But where would know so much as people are concerned? In most areas, almost all the fields that have been cleared are used for rice cultivation. In some areas, because of the soil, either the crops are not viable at all, or the yield is extremely low. Lin Yi also heard that the imperial court was working hard to solve this problem. And these things, with the current level of technology and knowledge, cannot be completed overnight. Lin Yi felt that when the matter on Dongying's side was resolved, it was time to discuss the people's livelihood plan with Li Shimin.

Although Lin Yi has not had much contact with this field, in terms of Lin Yi's knowledge that has been ahead of thousands of years, it can definitely make the current country develop by leaps and bounds.

Of course, this is a long way to go. Lin Yi dismissed Wang Hansheng and his son, "You go home first and wait for news." What happened today cannot be revealed to the outside world, otherwise, even the nine clans! "Under Lin Yi's 'intimidation', Wang Hansheng and his son did not dare to do so, and fled here quickly. Lin Yi turned his back to Cai Tong and asked, "Do you want to be promoted alive and make a fortune, or do you want to die now, and I will find another one to replace you?" ”

Lin Yi's choice, as long as he is a normal person, he will choose the first one. Is Cai Tong abnormal? Obviously, Cai Tong is not only normal, but also a very shrewd person. After hearing Lin Yi's question, Cai Tong instantly heard a lot of content from Lin Yi's words. Cai Tong nodded without hesitation, "Of course you choose to live!" As long as you give an order, my lord, come in the water and go in the fire, I will never say anything. ”

"Do you know why I left you alive?" Lin Yi asked again.

"Why?" Cai Tong also wanted to know about this question. After all, I know how many bad things I have done. It is light to say that you have sinned deeply. Don't talk about being promoted and getting rich, just a moment ago, Cai Tong was still thinking about how to save his life.

Lin Yi smiled: "Because I know that you are a smart person." I won't pursue what you did before. If you do the things I have arranged below, you will be less likely to be promoted and make a fortune. But if you mess up, hehe...... "What will happen after you mess up, Lin Yi didn't say, but Cai Tong understood." Even like this, Cai Tong nodded without hesitation, "I understand, if there is anything to ask the adult, even if it is to fight my old life, I will never live up to the adult's trust!" ”

Lin Yi had a very smart expression and patted Cai Tong on the shoulder, "It's not that serious, don't be nervous." ”

"I said violent girl, do you know how much food we produce now?"

Lin Yi's sudden question made Wang Mengyao stunned for a moment. Wang Mengyao's pretty face was full of doubts, "Why are you suddenly asking this?" ”

"My lord, now our total grain output is about 120 catties per mu on average." Xiang Leaned aside and suddenly spoke. Since Xiang Tilt was originally a businessman, he will know more about these. Seeing Lin Yi's question, although he was not asking himself, Xiang Tian still said it on his own.

"Hmm!" "Then if I have a way to triple this production, do you think it will help us now?" Lin Yi's seemingly casual words made a gasp sound around him. Xiang Lean's first reaction was to subconsciously shout: "This is impossible!" ”

Even Du Roger, a military general, understands that if the current grain production is tripled, it will cause much turmoil to the current pattern. This is tantamount to giving wings to the tiger of the imperial court, this is about to change the sky!

"Don't be so surprised, this is just the first step!" Lin Yi came to Du Roger's side and looked at Du Roger, "Can I trust you?" ”

Du Roger knelt down on one knee without hesitation, "Swear allegiance to the Tang Emperor, if you violate this oath, you will be punished by God!" Du Roger didn't know why he made this decision, but there was a voice in the dark telling Du Roger that with the whole man in front of him, he would lead Silla on the road to becoming a powerful country. It doesn't matter if Roger is superstitious, or it is good to be inflammatory, but as long as Roger believes in something, he will never drag the water. And as far as the current Silla is concerned, is there any better option for Silla besides vassalizing the Tang Dynasty? No!

In this era, unlike modern times, the theory of ghosts and gods is more regarded as a belief for modern people. For the current feudal society, the theory of ghosts and gods is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, people at this time are extremely interested in vows. Seeing Du Roger's performance just now, if Du Roger had the slightest hesitation just now, Lin Yi would treat Du Roger as a partner at most. But now, Lin Yi felt that a loyal ally was more at ease than a partner who only had an interest relationship, so Lin Yi stepped forward and helped Du Roger up with both hands, "Okay! One day you will realize how wise the choices you make today are. ”

Seeing that there were all his own people around, Lin Yi had no worries, and pointed to the peanuts on the ground and said, "This plant is called peanuts." You have seen its fruit and eaten it. In fact, boiling and eating is just one of the ways to eat this food. Let's not talk about the rest, in terms of production. It only takes more than three months for peanuts to be harvested from sowing to harvesting. The yield per mu is 300 to 400 catties! Peanuts are also very easy to grow, as long as you find the right land, you can grow them. Suitable for planting on a large scale throughout the country! ”

Lin Yi described it according to his memory, after introducing some characteristics of peanuts. Everyone looked at the seemingly ordinary plant at Lin Yi's feet in disbelief. At this moment, the plant, where is still the plant. In the eyes of everyone, it looks like a shining gold tree, beckoning to everyone.

Wang Mengyao didn't look at the peanut, but stared at Lin Yi in disbelief. After discovering Wang Mengyao's gaze, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Did you find me at this time, handsome?" ”

"The special marshal didn't find out, but how do you know this? I'm curious! ”

"Just be curious!" Ignoring Wang Mengyao's doubts, Lin Yi said proudly: "I am a messenger sent down by heaven, specially to save you mortals, hahahahaha!" ”

"Cut, childish."
