People who have not experienced famine will not understand why people in this era attach so much importance to food, from the Son of Heaven to the people, whether it is reality or superstition, once it is related to agricultural time and food, they are always full of awe of God.

Now that a new kind of food has appeared, it seems that in Li Zhi's view, it is about to be at his fingertips.

Li Zhi's excited mood can naturally be understood, this is not only a matter of the emperor's personal merits, it is already related to Li Tang's national glory.

If the people do not starve for generations, as long as the rulers of the past generations do not die, the country cannot be lost, even if he is a mediocre and incompetent loser, it is enough for him to be defeated for 180 years.

This is what the new grain means to the rulers.

Its significance has gone far beyond the expansion of territory, and any emperor with the slightest foresight can see its importance at a glance.

Thinking that such a great achievement was about to befall him, Li Zhi couldn't help but be excited and suffer from gains and losses.

Last year, Li Zhi knelt in front of the ancestral tablet of Taimiao once, because the Tang Dynasty took Tuyuhun into his pocket and for the land, Li Zhi at that time read the sacrifice respectfully, but the pride in his expression could not be concealed, and he was almost jumping on the Taimiao Square.

If you get new grain seeds this year, take advantage of the spring to sow seeds, if you can really harvest more than 5,000 catties per mu, then when worshipping your ancestors this year, what posture should Li Zhi take to continue to be in front of the Taimiao?

Only by silently splitting a fork in front of the ancestral tablet can he express his joy and arrogance.

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think, and pee when you think about it.

"Jing Chu, for the sake of new grains, what do you want, I will give. Even if you use my royal army and destroy any country next to you, I will not hesitate to support you. ”

Li Zhi said earnestly: "I said, at any cost, regardless of the consequences, in short, the new grain must be obtained, Jingchu must do it, don't let me down." ”

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "The minister is still the same sentence, do your best." There are too many uncertainties in this matter, and the only clue is in that one person. ”

"But please rest assured, even if this clue is broken, the minister has other ways, although it will cost some money, food and time, but the minister can guarantee to get new grains."

Li Zhi's eyes widened: "Is there any other way?" ”

"Yes, the origin of the new grain, the minister actually knows, the trouble is that it is on the other side of the ocean, to get it, I need to build a sea ship, recruit sailors, accumulate sailing experience, and need a correct nautical chart......"

Li Zhi was shocked: "You can do all this?" ”

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "The minister can take out the navigation chart and point out the specific route, and the rest depends on whether my Datang sea ship is strong or not, and the sailors are fighting for it. ”

Li Zhi exclaimed, "Why do you know this? ”

Li Qinzai blinked quickly, this is not easy to explain, could it be that the world map was brought out of the mother's womb?

"Uh......"

Who knew that Li Zhi sighed again, and suddenly said: "Mo family disciple, Mo family disciple!" You have a lot of weird skills, which is probably passed down by the Mo family, and it's ridiculous that I still get to the bottom of it, haha. ”

Li Qinzai was stunned, and then said movingly: "Exactly! ”

Talking to self-righteous people is a hassle-free and effort-saving experience.

"Jing Jiao has been looking for your bad luck recently, Jing Chu doesn't have to care," Li Zhi sneered twice, and said, "Soon, in a little while, I will clean them up, especially that Yang Shuen." ”

"Whoever puts obstacles in my new grain and makes trouble will be my mortal enemy!"

Li Qinzai said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Just say thank you and it's over? I don't know more and more about etiquette, I have been in the house for so long, and I haven't said anything, go and get ten or eight pig's trotters, I warm up, and get a few catties of beef, you can do it. ”

…………

At night, Li Zhi, who had eaten too much, stayed in the courtyard and slept as usual.

Ganjingzhuang is about to become Li Zhi's second home, and he doesn't regard himself as an outsider at all.

In the original history, Li Zhi had no interest in Chang'an City during this period, and frequently visited Luoyang, but now Luoyang has gone less, but Ganjingzhuang has come every three or five times.

In the quiet village, the occasional whirring wind and a few barking dogs were heard from the villagers.

Unknown wild birds chirp in the mountains and forests, and in the season of revival, insects hide in the grass and hiss for courtship.

In the middle of the night, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the entrance of the village, and then disappeared at the entrance of the village.

When Li Zhi came to Ganjingzhuang, the security work has always been strict, starting from the entrance of the village and going to all corners of the village, it was sealed by the guards, and no stranger could enter.

The sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the village was stopped at the entrance of the village, and a moment later, a Praetorian Guard general hurried towards the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the generals didn't care much, so they raised their fists and slammed the door.

Steward Song opened the door in his clothes and glared at the general with a dissatisfied expression.

The general's face was full of anxiety, and he still shouted to himself: "Please report to the Son of Heaven and Li Xianhou immediately, someone at the entrance of the village has brought new grain to the village!" ”

Soon, the candles in the various wings of the Li family's courtyard were lit, and many people woke up when they heard the sound.

Li Qinzai was wearing a single coat, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a white shadow swishing in front of him.

Li Qinzai blinked in shock, what the hell?

turned his head to look, but saw Li Zhi only wearing underwear, barefoot, desperately running towards the gate.

Li Qinzai was stunned for a while, and then rushed away.

At the entrance of Ganjingzhuang Village, a group of guards held torches and surrounded a few people in the middle.

Li Zhi ran to the entrance of the village barefoot, ignoring the rocks on the ground.

Li Qinzai followed closely, and the two rushed to the entrance of the village, and found that Zinu and several retinues were surrounded by the guards, she and her entourage were scarred, but Zinu was holding an iron basin in her hand, which was full of dirt.

When Li Zhi saw the iron basin, his expression became more and more crazy, and his breathing became heavy.

The guards stopped in front of Li Zhi without knowing each other: "Your Majesty, this person doesn't know where he came from, be careful......"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get lost! Li Zhi kicked the guard aside, squatted in front of Zinu, stared at the iron basin in her hand with hot eyes, and trembled his lips and said, "It, it...... Is it a new grain? ”

Li Qinzai stood behind Li Zhi, his eyes were not on the iron basin, but at the scarred purple slave in distress.

Li Qinzai never thought that Zinu leaving without saying a word would bring him such a big surprise.

After Zinu left, Li Qinzai didn't expect anything from her at all, and concluded that she would definitely gain nothing from this trip.

His focus was on Idor.

Unexpectedly, before Iduo could speak, Zinu had already brought back the new grain.

Li Zhi took the iron basin in Zinu's hand, stared at the ordinary soil in the basin with a frantic expression, and his cheeks twitched a few times from time to time, like a donkey galloping for hundreds of miles, panting heavily.

Li Qinzai walked up to Zinu, helped her up with both hands, patted the dust on her shoulder, and said distressedly: "Where is the injury?" Does it still hurt? ”

The tired Zi Nu's eyes turned red, and he suddenly threw himself into his arms and cried.
