Chapter 213: Trouble Continues

300,000 stone is indeed not a small amount.

If you really want to use it as a seed, you can branch more than Danzhou.

"Very good, very good. Just divide these seeds into Danzhou and nearby areas, and they don't have to be too far away. ”

But Xu Jing remained calm and did not distribute these seeds over too many areas.

"Why? With so many potato seeds, shouldn't they be distributed all over my country? ”

The shopkeeper was a little confused.

In his opinion, such a large potato, which can breed a lot of food, should not be planted everywhere in Daqian?

In this way, wouldn't all the great cadres be able to avoid famine?

But Xu Jing made him a little puzzled by the distribution of Danzhou.

"Although this thing is good, there are not many areas where it can grow. It can only be grown in the area near Danzhou. ”

"The further north you go, the less food you can grow in. Not to mention, once the virus is encountered, if there is only one kind of food, I am afraid that the famine will be even more terrifying. ”

Xu Jing shook his head and spoke eloquently, patiently explaining the reason why he did not let the whole country grow one food at the same time.

In history, there are many lessons to be learned from such things.

The most classic is a small country in Xu Jing's previous life.

Potatoes are grown all over the country, and when the virus hit, not even a grain of rice could be found in the whole country.

Countless people died of starvation, and the country's population was nearly 50 percent down.

If such a famine had occurred in the Great Dry River, the effects would have been more than excessive.

Tens of millions of people starved to death, a tragic situation, Xu Jing only felt shudder when he thought about it slightly.

"What is a virus?"

But the shopkeeper didn't know much about the virus Xu Jing said, and he was full of doubts.

After all, about what Xu Jing said, he still heard it on the first day.

"You don't have to worry about what it is, you just know that it's not feasible to extend it to the whole country."

Xu Jing did not intend to explain, but emphasized again.

"The grass people obey His Majesty's will."

Seeing that Xu Jing didn't want to explain more, the shopkeeper had to nod and agree.

Xu Jing then asked him if there were any other gains in the places he had passed through for this trade incident.

In Xu Jing's memory, there are a lot of spices in Tianzhu.

In the eyes of the ancients today, these spices were just some things that were worn to repel mosquitoes or to be elegant.

But in Xu Jing's memory, the usefulness of these spices is far more than that.

With these spices, the food that can be made is also much more delicious.

Thinking of the delicacies he had eaten in his previous life, Xu Jing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Wait until you return as soon as possible, and try to bring some spices back."

In the end, the conversation ended with Xu Jing's solemn reminder to the shopkeeper.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a very good mood today."

Cao Gong followed closely behind Xu Jing, but saw Xu Jing smiling all the way.

"Naturally, this great cadre has finally solved the food problem, and the people of the world can finally be spared the suffering of famine, how can I not be happy about this great thing?"

Xu Jing nodded with a smile and said.

Seeing Xu Jing so happy, Cao Gong was also a little more happy in his heart.

But the atmosphere in the Xiao Mansion was not as happy as Xu Jing.

"Xiangye, now Your Majesty is becoming much heavier in the hearts of the people."

"In the long run, even those scholars are afraid that they will also turn the limelight and cater to this majesty. I'm afraid your status will only be lower and lower in the future. ”

In the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Daoling was talking with his subordinates.

This acquaintance, who came from Manichaeism but turned to worship Xiao Daoling's disciples, opened his mouth to remind Xiao Daoling.

"How could the old man not know? Unexpectedly, this hairy boy has so many means. ”

"Personally receiving the returning army has made him famous among the people."

"If we wait for him to solve the famine in various places, his prestige will only grow higher in the future."

"In addition, this person actually wants to curb the development of clans in various places, and in the long run, I don't know that the court will be controlled by him, and this place will also fall into his hands."

Xiao Dao's face was gloomy and he chattered.

These days, Xu Jing has solved all the difficult things.

not only suppressed the development of the old clan, but also forced many prominent clans to flee from their original station.

even secretly supported the new clan, causing the original clan power to be greatly weakened.

If this continues, the scholars and officials at all levels of the Wang clan and even the court that he Xiao Daoling relied on will turn against the new emperor.

"Xiangye, my subordinates think that I can't wait any longer! When it's broken, it's time to do it. ”

Zhike knelt in front of Xiao Daoling and reminded carefully.

"Hands-on? How? What else can the old man do now? The military power has been cut, and the power in the hands has been hollowed out. Is it that in the court now, how many officials are still of the same heart and mind as the old man? ”

Thinking of Xu Jing's thunderous methods during this time, Xiao Daoling only felt old.

Whether it is energy or ability, it is not as good as before, and he can only watch Xu Jing eat away at the power in his original hands little by little.

"Xiangye, the relationship between you and Tianshan and Mobei is not shallow, why don't you borrow the power of other countries to disturb the current situation?"

"If the war resumes, I think Xiangye will definitely be able to wait for the opportunity to make a comeback again!"

Zhike cautiously reminded Xiao Daoling.

signaled that he could collude with foreign enemies and let the Daqian court, which was already in multiple dangers, exert pressure.

"You think the old man doesn't want to?"

"Easier said than done? Which side of the Mobei Tianshan Mountains is a simple force today? ”

"If you allow you to enter the Central Plains, the future situation is still up to the old man."

Xiao Daoling sighed slightly, raised his head and stared at the ceiling, and spoke silently.

It's not that Xiao Daoling is unwilling to borrow these foreign forces to oppress Daqian.

But now the strength of these two forces has long exceeded Xiao Daoling's thoughts.

Once these two forces are allowed to truly take charge of the main forces, it is a big question whether they can be driven away.

It is naturally extremely easy to ask for a thief, as long as Xiao Daoling hands over the defense map, Daqian's current defense line will definitely be torn apart like a rag.

But if you want to ask the thief to leave, it will be very difficult.

Not to mention the Tianshan Mountains, Mobei's covetousness for the Central Plains of the Great Qianqian is clearly revealed.

Not only vigorously supported the tribal people to learn Confucian classics, but also began to learn the etiquette and clothing of the Great Cadres.

This is undoubtedly to replace the big cadres and become the new masters of the Central Plains today!

All these things made Xiao Daoling dare not gamble and did not want to bet.

He didn't want to watch his decades of hard work end up just making wedding dresses for others.

"Xiangye, my subordinates have a clever plan, which may make His Highness's prestige in the hearts of the people plummet."

I suddenly remembered something, and said with a gloomy smile.

"Oh? Just talk to the old man and listen to it. ”

Xiao Daoling suddenly became interested, and then asked.
