Chapter 246: There is a land in the south of the ocean
Hearing Meng Zhengqi's accusation, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
This person finally got the punishment he deserved!
This sinner has finally been found out.
However, what Meng Zhengqi has to face is just beginning.
Because he has been rampant for so many years, he was able to quietly send the officials detained in Dali Temple to Taicang County.
There must be more than a few officials behind him.
Therefore, Zheng Yuan and Li Ji still need to be harshly interrogated.
In this regard, Li Ji is very good!
Especially for such heinous people, there is no need to show mercy at all.
Just spare his life for judgment.
As for the other tortures, naturally what is harsh and what is used.
Destroy his spirit, let him bring in the evil deeds he has committed, and confess all his accomplices!
And those government soldiers are a little confused.
My own master actually went in like this.
So what should they do at this time?
At this time, Li Shimin secretly found Li Ji and said, "Mao Gong, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible when I return to Chang'an."
"It's just that during this period, it's up to you to take on the role of Suzhou Thorn History and preside over the overall situation."
Hearing this, Li Ji opened his mouth and recommended, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Special Envoy Zheng Yuan has handled this case very properly."
"With his talents, he is fully capable of assassinating history!"
"And Zheng Yuan's heart is pure, which is completely different from Meng Zhengqi and others, even if Your Majesty orders him as a special envoy, you can also be completely assured."
Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head and said:
"No, I plan to take him back to Chang'an after he has thoroughly investigated this case."
"Such talents can certainly benefit one party."
"But I think that only above the court is the best place for him to play."
"Rather than benefiting one place, I would rather make the best use of people and let them benefit all peoples."
Hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but be speechless.
It turned out that Zheng Yuan was so optimistic about His Majesty.
In this way, it seems that it is too much to recommend yourself.
So, he said, "In that case, then Weichen will stay in Suzhou for a while!"
Li Shimin patted Li Ji's shoulder and said, "Mao Gong, you will be idle for a while, and you will be busy next!"
Hearing this, Li Ji was a little puzzled: "What does Your Majesty mean?"
Li Shimin's eyes looked in the southwest direction: "Now that Goguryeo has been decided, some clowns who jump off the beam are afraid that they will not be able to sit still."
Li Ji naturally understood what kind of enemy was in the southwest.
Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Li Jiyuan killed all enemies for the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin smiled: "In short, Mao Gong, you can get ready!"
Li Ji knelt on one knee: "Yes! Wechen will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
Along the way, there were people carrying buckets of water to draw water.
"This drought is not optimistic."
Li Shimin looked through the car window and looked at the farmland on both sides.
Because of the lack of rain for several days, most of the plants did not grow well.
Qin Fan also nodded and said, "Compared with the drought, what is more serious is the ravaging of locusts later."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned: "That locust, hasn't Brother Qin already developed a batch of potions and distributed them to various places?"
Qin Fan nodded and said, "Having said that, the elixir is not a panacea."
"If it works this year, it will be less effective next year."
"In a few years, I'm afraid the lethality of locusts will be much lower."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I still have to trouble Brother Qin to continue to develop."
Qin Fan felt a burst of tooth soreness.
It is not so easy to develop pesticides and replace them.
The increase in locust resistance is the result of accumulation from generation to generation.
And the pesticide formula in your own hand is also provided by the system.
It is simply unrealistic to let Qin Fan upgrade him out of thin air.
If the experiment is carried out, it is not impossible.
It only takes a step-by-step fine-tuning.
It's just that this is equivalent to the exhaustive method, and the amount of work is too huge.
Instead of counting on it like this, it is better for the system to check in and clock in at when, and it is more reliable to come up with an upgraded version.
"All in all, it's urgent to go to Kunlunnu's hometown to find that guinea fowl."
When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned for a while, and recalled with a frown: "Is it the biological control that Brother Qin said before?"
Qin Fan nodded and said, "Yes, locusts are a link in the biological chain, and guinea fowl for control is the most natural and the benefit is the greatest."
"And with the use of pesticides, it is inevitable that there will be some residues, or some impact on the crops, or on the soil, but this is not the case with guinea fowl."
"Even guinea fowl manure can make the land more fertile and increase crop yields!"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "This matter needs to be accelerated."
Brother Qin, you have also seen that the second Chang'an is under construction, and when the Chang'an is completed, I will write to your majesty to ask your majesty to send someone to Africa as soon as possible to find the guinea fowl and bring it back for cultivation."
Qin Fan nodded.
However, when it came to species brought by the ocean, Qin Fan remembered a special species.
"Speaking of which, in the southern section of my Tang Dynasty, across the ocean, there is a piece of land called Australia."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said:
"Australia, what is the most powerful country? Can we trade with Datang?"
Hearing this, Qin Fan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Now, I'm afraid that place has no way to trade with the Tang Dynasty!"
In fact, the first people to land in Australia were the tribesmen from Southeast Asia, known as the Negritos.
They still maintain a primitive tribal state and have not yet developed into a kingdom.
Forty thousand years ago, they landed on that *** land and thrived on it.
It's just that there have been many wars between the tribes because of the competition for territory and resources.
Many tribes were destroyed as a result.
Even so, the indigenous groups that migrated remained strong.
However, after that, the Age of Discovery began.
The Europeans who went to the sea discovered this treasure and colonized it.
During those decades, countless tribesmen were killed!
Eventually, the land became what it is.
But in any case, in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, there were indeed only those Negritos who existed!
Inside there is its unique biological cycle, many species that will become extinct in the future.
Such as the genus of the dodo.
Or maybe it's a species that hasn't been found anywhere else.
For example, kangaroos, sloths, and many more.
I heard that there were only some savages, and Li Shimin's interest suddenly faded a lot.
If the other party is a powerful country, then trade with it, earn their silver, and bring wealth to the Tang Dynasty.
If the other party is a weak country, it will be given shelter and accepted as a junior brother to enhance the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
But what is the point of that place since it has not yet formed a kingdom?
