Chapter 151 Produced in North America, where is that?
"Okay, I'm going to show my hand. Actually, I don't know.
I also obtained these grains by chance.
I had the same idea as you at the time. I cultivated and planted it and found that the yield was very high.
Originally, I thought that after the autumn harvest, I would use new grain to continue farming next year.
It was only later discovered that farming in the second year failed without exception."
Ah, this? Alas!
Li Er knew that there was no need for an expert like Xiandi to use such lies to deceive.
It's just that my heart is full of endless disappointment. I finally got such a high-yielding grain, but now it's completely desolate because of the seed problem.
My heart just felt so blocked.
"Okay, don't worry about it, I won it but I lost it.
Besides, to put it another way, even if I tell you where the seeds are, you still won’t be able to get through!”
There is no way out but there is no way out, there are dark willows and bright flowers in one village after another. Zhao Mu's words attracted Li Er again.
Others can't get through it, but I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so I wonder where in the world I can't get through it?
Even the entire northern Turkic region, or Lingnan, Annan and even further places.
Or should we say that we have our own methods in the Western Regions and even in the far reaches of the Western Regions?
For a moment, his face was smiling again, looking at Zhao Mu expectantly.
"Brother Xian, tell me, where can I get such seeds?"
North America!
North America?
Li Er had never heard of this ghost place in North America. Looking at Wei Zheng, Chang, Sun and Wuji both shook their heads.
This time it’s not that they are short-sighted, it’s that they really haven’t heard of it!
"Brother Xian, since the North America you are talking about has the word "北" in it, does that mean it is north of the Tang Dynasty?"
Nowadays, there is only one Turkic people north of the Tang Dynasty. Is it possible that this corn comes from their Turkic people?
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but tense up. Since it comes from their Turks, why didn't the Turks grow it?
Thinking about it again, it’s not that the Turks are not engaged in planting, but mainly that they make a living by nomadic herders.
Fortunately, they Turks only like to herd cattle and sheep, if they are engaged in farming like they did in the Tang Dynasty.
With such high-yield crops, their strength will definitely be at its peak. By then, it will be even more difficult for us, the Tang Dynasty, to fight.
These thoughts made Li Er even more determined to fight against the Turks, not just to avenge his shame, but also to get the corn back!
"Say, Lao Li, I think you really have an unconstrained mind.
I just said that, but you can think of so many?
You have misunderstood. North America is not north of our Datang, but is located in a very remote place of our Datang.
With the current strength of Datang, we still can’t reach it!”
Even though the weather on the Pacific Ocean is as its name suggests, there will occasionally be a little wind and waves.
With Datang's current shipbuilding capabilities, it would be more difficult to cross the vast ocean and reach the other end than to reach the sky!
"Hahahaha, dear brother, don't think about that. There will be a road to the mountain. Let's eat and drink!"
Now that he has his destination, Li Er no longer worries about the matter.
In fact, he didn't understand North America, but he also understood what Xiandi meant.
This corn is not a local product of Datang.
Just like the watermelons, grapes, etc. that everyone can eat in the Tang Dynasty.
Historical records record that these are the fruits that Zhang Qian, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, brought back to the Central Plains during his mission to the Western Regions.
Of course, this watermelon was named by later generations, and today’s watermelon is called Hangua.
But this cold melon is also quite precious, and only some wealthy families can afford it in summer.
And the grapes, the wine made from the grapes is also quite delicious.
Now that the Hexi Corridor has been opened long ago, this thing called corn must be produced in the West Pole.
As for the faraway land of the West, don't they have many foreign merchants in Chang'an? They should be able to go there.
At that time, all he needs to do is give orders, and there will definitely be a group of businessmen willing to do things for him.
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but praise himself secretly in his heart.
Without delaying the war against the Turks, he would take advantage of the situation and settle the corn issue.
I am really very smart.
"I said, Lao Li, I've been looking at you for a long time, why are you smiling so stupidly?
Did you think of something?"
"No, nothing happened."
Li Er shook his head quickly. He must not speak out his thoughts, otherwise, wouldn't everything have to be exposed?
"Brother Xian, don't talk about that. Let's eat first. If you don't eat, the food will be cold."
Li Er quickly changed the topic, fearing that he would accidentally let the matter slip again.
Seeing his mysterious look, Zhao Mu muttered in a low voice.
There must be something wrong with this old Li's mind, otherwise he wouldn't be like this!
After dinner, Zhao Mu took a group of people to the study room. After some careful browsing, Wei Zheng found a few interesting books in it. He just sat there and read them with relish.
I just don’t know when I want to see it.
Throughout the afternoon, Wei Zhenggou read in the study, while Li Er began to wander around Zhuangzi again.
Seeing this grand little village, while walking, I actually came to the garden in their backyard.
There are also special guards guarding the entrance of the garden.
Although he was very curious, he only took a few glances inside and then stepped back.
He knew about this garden. There was a vegetable greenhouse here, and he could eat fresh vegetables in winter.
He knew in his heart that being able to grow vegetables in winter was nothing short of a miracle.
I'm afraid that in the whole world, only my wise brother can do this.
It was just endless envy. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard two familiar voices coming from the garden in the backyard!
"Sister Linglong, we have picked so many vegetables, should we have enough for tonight?"
"Xiao Yue, there are many people tonight, so it doesn't hurt to pick more. If we can't eat, there are other people in Zhuangzi."
"I understand, Sister Linglong."
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Er stopped and looked up!
"Yue'er, Miss Linglong, what are you two busy in there?"
"Xiaoyue, you hear the voice of shopkeeper Li!"
Hearing his father's call, Li Yue walked out of the shed.
"I've met my father, but I wonder why my father calls me Yue'er?"
"It's okay, I just took a leisurely stroll around Zhuangzi. After walking, I came to the backyard.
When I heard the two of you talking inside, I came in to take a look. You were busy with your business.
I just can’t see it coming in.”
"Father, if you want to come in, you can come in. It'll be okay."
Li Er was very troubled and said, "Isn't this not good?"
But his eyes looked inside again.
Every time I come to this village, I never come back empty-handed, but this time, I made a bit of a miscalculation about the corn.
