The reason for this is that in this era, the food that the people have worked hard to grow for a year is not enough to eat. They can only eat 50 to 60% full at most. In order to eat better, they can only work harder.
Some need to work at the landlord's house, while others need to go to the county town or somewhere to work. The worst option is to open up wasteland and plant other crops, so that they can feed themselves.
Now that Li Rong is directly in charge of the food, of course they are very happy to do so. He even allows them to eat three meals a day, which of course they are willing to do.
Li Rong was very busy here. Emperor Li Ming became angry after hearing this. He felt that Li Rong was dissatisfied with the marriage he arranged, so he fled to the fief to hide.
Therefore, Li Ming issued several imperial edicts in succession, in order to ask Li Rong to return to Beijing quickly. However, what Li Ming did not expect was that the person he arranged to convey the edict would suffer from a very strange disease every time.
That is, as soon as the people with the imperial edict leave the capital, they will immediately forget what they are going to do, and they will remember it again when they rush back.
In fact, the reason why this happened was entirely because Wang Yue used the skills of the Nightmare Demon and the Phantom Demon to directly act on the imperial edict.
As long as someone carries this imperial edict for more than an hour, they will immediately fall into illusions and nightmares. Therefore, induced by fear and illusion, they are unable to pass on the imperial edict at all.
Li Ming was very angry at this situation. He felt that this was the work of the Shangguan family, who wanted to make his emperor lose face.
But Li Ming had no choice. After all, if he wanted to accuse Li Rong of disobeying the decree, he had to declare it in front of Li Rong.
After struggling like this for several months, I still couldn't even pass it on. In the end, there was really no way.
Li Ming was furious and sent the prince Li Chuan to read out the imperial edict. He thought that if Li Chuan dared to say that he was also sick, he would directly depose the prince.
In fact, Li Chuan also suspected that you were from the office. It was weird, but no matter whether he asked his mother or uncle, both of them said they didn't know anything.
At this time, Li Chuan actually believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. When he received the imperial edict, he expected to come back with the imperial edict.
What Li Chuan didn't expect was that he was not blocked when he went out this time. However, strange situations kept happening along the way, which caused them to move very slowly.
For example, less than ten miles away from the capital, all the horses in the mission actually suffered from diarrhea.
After great difficulty, he arranged for people to return to the capital and change the horses. However, it rained heavily, so Li Chuan had no choice but to take his team back to the capital for temporary shelter.
Strange things like this kept happening, but at least Li Chuan finally overcame the difficulties and obstacles and got out of the capital. The original trip from the capital to Li Rong's fiefdom was only ten days at most, but the prince and the envoys took a full three days.
After more than a month, they arrived at Li Rong's fiefdom, Rongcheng.
After these few months, Li Rong's large-scale planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes has yielded a bumper harvest, and local people have also seen this high-yielding food.
In the future, there is no need for Li Rong to force planting anymore. These people will plant it on their own initiative. After all, the sweet potatoes and potatoes provided by Li Rong do not occupy much of their land for growing food.
When Li Rong saw her younger brother Li Chuan arriving, she was very happy and treated Li Chuan to some of Rongcheng's specialty sweet potatoes.
When Li Chuan saw his sister giving him delicious food as soon as she saw him, he couldn't help but think of his childhood, so he was so moved that he read out the imperial edict in no hurry. He obediently picked up the food Li Rong gave him.
Then he started eating.
Li Chuan originally just wanted to try it to give his sister some face, but after taking a bite, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He took several bites in a row and then said excitedly, "Sister, this specialty of your fief is so delicious. I must bring more when I go back. Don't be reluctant to part with it."
When Li Rong saw that Li Chuan wanted it, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be willing to give it up. You will know when you come with me to see it later."
Li Chuan was a little suspicious, but he couldn't help but eat a few more pieces of sweet potato. He thought it was much more delicious than boiled meat.
Li Rong thought it was delicious when she first ate it, but in the past few months, she had been eating sweet potatoes a lot, but she didn't find them particularly delicious.
Moreover, the book Wang Yue gave him already said that sweet potatoes cannot be used as a staple food, and people must eat other foods.
However, it was the first time for Li Chuan to eat something like this, so Li Rong was not disappointed and simply let his brother eat as much as he could.
After Li Chuan was full, Li Rong took Li Chuan to watch the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
When Li Chuan arrived at the field, he was shocked by what he saw. He said in disbelief, "Sister, how many kilograms were dug out of this piece of land? Am I dreaming?"
Li Rong shook her head and said seriously, "Of course you didn't dream, that's why I came to the fiefdom.
After all, this is a new food, and people will not be willing to cultivate it without using some special means."
Li Chuan immediately understood what was going on, and he said solemnly, "Sister, now that Rongcheng's bumper harvest is an example, this kind of crop can definitely be promoted.
Sister, you have done a great thing, something greater than papermaking and the plow!"
Li Rong smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, if it wasn't for this important matter, how could I dare to disobey my father's opinion!
Now that you have read it, you can prove it to me and read out your imperial edict."
Li Chuan did not wonder why his sister already knew the imperial edict. He thought it was normal. Instead, he asked curiously, "Sister, I am very curious about why those who used to preach the imperial edict became confused when they left the capital? Why did I
But can you leave the capital?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Rong did not hide anything, and said with a smile, "Because my master has arranged a formation in the imperial edict, and as long as it is exposed to it for a long time, that formation will be activated.
, will immediately make the person with the imperial edict confused.
The teacher was sure that my father would arrange for you to come, so he arranged for senior brother to arrange the formations along the way. This is also the reason why you always have accidents along the way."
Only then did Li Chuan understand what was going on. No wonder his father sent several groups of troops and even provided real and fake cover, but he still couldn't escape.
Thinking of this scene that made everyone in the capital laugh, he couldn't help but said with emotion, "Sister, you have a good master!"
Of course Li Rong also knew how good her master was, so she solemnly warned, "If one day you see my master, you must be more respectful. You must know that your papermaking skills were given to you by my master.
I have also enjoyed the favor.”
Of course Li Chuan knew that Wang Yue had given Li Rong the papermaking skills last time. After all, her sister would not hide anything from him in the past. If she had known how to do it, she would have taken it out long ago. Therefore, he was still very grateful to Wang Yue for letting him know how to make paper.
His sister is doing well now.
But the person Li Chuan was listening to his sister talking about was Master Wang Yue, which made him feel a little weird.
So, he said seriously, "Sister, do you like your master? I think you are talking about him now."
After Li Rong heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red. She immediately denied it three times in a row,
"Where is it?"
"I'm not!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Chuan originally just made a joke, but he didn't expect that the elder sister would become anxious all of a sudden. On the contrary, he immediately understood what the elder sister was thinking.
He looked at his elder sister and said seriously, "Although you call Mr. Wang master, he only opened an academy on the mountain, so in fact, you are not the traditional kind of master.
If the eldest sister really has that idea, I am willing to go to Jiulu Mountain and have a good talk with Wang Shanzhang, maybe he will become my brother-in-law!"
Before Li Rong could say anything, she heard a clear call, "What brother-in-law? Junior sister, have you been arranged to be your consort? Can we go back?"
When Li Rong heard the voice, she knew it was Qin Zhenzhen. She stopped talking and said with a smile, "Second Senior Sister, I'm afraid it will take two days. I need the people below to collect complete data on potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Qin Zhenzhen was just asking, and she said nonchalantly, "In that case, you go about your business and I'll go play for a while."
As she said this, she performed Qing Gong and flew away in an instant.
"What a handsome Qinggong!"
Li Chuan looked at that heroic figure and couldn't help but admire him.
Li Rong thought that she hadn't introduced her brother yet. She looked at Qin Zhenzhen's back and said with a smile, "She is my second senior sister. She is a martial arts fanatic. What she is best at is not swordsmanship, but immortal magic."
.”
Li Chuan only thought that Li Rong was joking. He had just heard his sister say that she would leave in a few days. He did not urge her, but said to Li Rong, "Since sister just said that she will leave in two days, sister will
Go and do your business, I'll go talk to your senior sister."
"What are you talking to her about?"
Li Rong was a little confused, but before she could ask clearly, she found that her beloved brother had run away.
Qin Zhenzhen arrived at a relatively high place. Standing here, she could have a panoramic view of everything around her. If a suspicious person approached Li Rong, she would be able to appear in time.
After she came here, she still insisted on practicing her explosive sparks, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was slightly thinner, which made her feel very uncomfortable, which is why she asked when she would go back.
As soon as Li Chuan approached, Qin Zhenzhen spotted him. She stopped practicing, frowned at Li Chuan, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Li Chuan saluted Qin Zhenzhen, and then said politely, "Miss Qin, I want to ask about your teacher. I wonder if you can answer me?"
