Of course, in addition to not being rewarded with gold or silver, Li Shimin still gave Qin Hao and Yun Ye some preferential treatment, such as a fief of more than 1,000 acres each, and the fief was not far from Chang'an.
Although according to Cheng Yaojin's statement, these two fiefs did not even touch the edge of Chang'an. If calculated, they were closer to Longyou.
However, it is also a fiefdom.
"Brother, I read in the history books that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has been reducing his titles and taking back his fiefs. Why is he so generous this time?" Yun Ye suddenly frowned.
Qin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "Do you know what ancient emperors cared about most?"
"What?" Yun Ye asked doubtfully.
"Certainty."
Yun Ye looked at Qin Hao confused.
Qin Hao shook his head secretly, feeling that if modern people traveled back to ancient times, they would be able to kill everyone and dominate the world. In fact, unless they are the kind of old oil man who is well versed in officialdom, otherwise in ancient officialdom, only those who were toyed with applause
Life.
"For example, the Zuowuwei where we are now has many soldiers and strong fighting power. What if there is a rebellion? This is uncertainty, so Li Shimin arranged for Cheng Yaojin to lead the Zuowuwei, because Cheng Yaojin is the one who can
A general who has complete trust, this is certainty!"
"Why did the Song Dynasty crazily suppress the military attachés? Because Song Taizu himself relied on rebellion to dominate the world. This uncertainty made him sleep uneasy, so he drank a lot of wine to release his military power and treated the nobles of the court as mules and horses. Mules and horses did not need fighting power.
, as long as you can work."
Yun Ye's face turned pale when he heard this: "You mean, the reason why Li Shimin gave us a fief is just to let us settle down and tie us to his chariot."
"I think too much. Small characters like us are not worthy of his chariot. At most, we can only be regarded as sparrows in his flock."
Seeing Yun Ye's worried look, Qin Hao comforted him: "Since we have come, we will be in peace. Since Li Shimin gave us the fiefdom and title, he just wants us to integrate into his rule, without any conflict of interest."
Come on, he won't do anything to us."
Yun Ye thought about it carefully. He had no big ambitions and had no plans to change dynasties and become emperor. Now that he had a title and a fief, he had entered the ancient aristocratic class, and his life would not be too miserable.
"Senior brother, where is your fiefdom?"
"Wannian County."
Qin Hao and Yun Ye's fiefdoms, one is located in Wannian County and the other is located in Chang'an County. Judging from the map, they have Zhuque Street as the central axis, one east and one west.
The reason why their fiefdoms were separated must have been specially arranged by Li Shimin. After all, the origins of Qin Hao and Yun Ye were too mysterious. Yun Ye was okay, and finally there were still family members in the world. Qin Hao was like jumping out of a stone.
In this case, the two people were separated in order to further distinguish whether they were lying.
Not long after Qin Hao and Yun Ye put away the imperial edict and seal, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Wangcai ran in with a groan and threw himself into Yun Ye's arms. It was obvious that he had been wronged.
I cried to Yun Ye.
While Yun Ye comforted Wangcai, he took out fried beans and fed it to him. When he saw something delicious, Wangcai immediately stopped grunting and buried his head in chewing the beans until they made a loud crunching sound.
After leaving the tent, Yun Ye found out the reason why Wangcai was beaten.
Since everyone knew that Wangcai was Yun Ye's horse, the soldiers gave it three cents, and they were not tied up in the stables on weekdays. This guy was like a second-rate man, wandering around the camp all day long, kicking and kicking
Well, it turned out that today it was also unlucky to run into Cheng Yaojin's patrol camp.
The more Cheng Yaojin looked at him, the more awkward he became, so he raised his leg and kicked Wangcai on the butt twice. Wangcai subconsciously wanted to bite Cheng Yaojin, but he was lectured again and had to go to find him aggrievedly.
Yun Ye cried.
"Oh, it's not good for you to offend anyone, but you offend that big devil. You should get beaten. If you have some sharp eyesight in the future, you will see that old man walking around." Yun Ye comforted Wangcai and drove him out of the tent.
"Brother, can you return the phone in your backpack to me? There are photos of my wife and children in it." Yun Ye asked, rubbing his hands.
Qin Hao opened the innermost bag of his backpack and found that not only was there a mobile phone, but it was also equipped with a solar charging panel.
"You are very well prepared. Did you know that you were going to travel through time in advance?" Qin Hao teased.
Yun Ye grimaced: "Isn't this to search and rescue those two foreigners? I don't know how long it will take to find them. I can only bring more wilderness survival equipment. If I had known that I would travel through time, I would rather lose my job than come here.
A hell of a place."
Seeing that Yun Ye was sad, Qin Hao stopped teasing him and handed him his cell phone and solar charging panel.
Yun Ye turned on his phone and found that it was out of battery. Fortunately, his backpack had a good waterproof rating and no water had entered it. He connected it to a solar charging panel and put it in the sun to bake.
"Hey, what are you doing squatting here?" Cheng Chumo squatted down like a curious baby.
Yun Ye's thoughts were all in the photo album on his mobile phone. He was afraid that the phone would be broken and he would not be in the mood to satisfy Cheng Chumo's curiosity.
As a result, the two men squatted in the sun for almost half an hour, and the soldiers passing by looked at them with doubts.
Until Yun Ye pressed the button on his phone, a bright light appeared. Cheng Chumo was startled and almost jumped up on the spot.
"Master Yun, what kind of immortal magic weapon is this?"
Although Cheng Chumo is Cheng Yaojin's son, he does not have a title, but Yun Ye is a genuine baron, so the title cannot be so casual.
Yun Ye ignored Cheng Chumo's question and quickly tried the functions of his mobile phone. Fortunately, except for the lack of signal, everything was normal.
"This is the only thought Master left for me."
"It's really an immortal magic weapon." Cheng Chumo's attitude became more respectful when he heard this. The thing in Yun Ye's hand looked like it was not ordinary at first sight. The glass was as pure as water, and there was a dazzling light coming out from it.
Only immortals can possess such a magic weapon, right?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when Yun Ye was still immersed in the joy of completing his mobile phone, Qin Hao had already come out with the backpack. Basically, all the useful things in the backpack were taken out. Now
There were only a few potatoes and corn kernels left inside, and a few pepper seeds remained in the cracks.
"Stop playing around. These potatoes have sprouted. Let's find a place to plant them. This thing is a treasure and can survive countless times."
Yun Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, if we follow the historical trajectory, potatoes would not be introduced to China until the Ming Dynasty. The yield per acre of this thing was extremely high, and it was indeed a treasure in ancient times when there was not enough food to eat.
.
Thinking of this, Yun Ye put away his mobile phone, rolled up his sleeves and followed Qin Hao to cut the potatoes into small pieces. However, it was difficult to plant them. The Zuowuwei camp did not stop moving after being stationed.
It is necessary to chase down the main force of the Qiang people and migrate accordingly. If the potatoes are not planted well, they will die if they come back. This thing is very valuable now. There are only two or three of them in the entire Tang Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are priceless.
Cheng Chumo patted his chest when he heard this and said, "What's so difficult about this? Just get a few big tanks and put fertile soil in them. When the army leaves camp, tie them to the carriage and you can pull them away at any time."
"Okay, I didn't expect you to have such a brain." Yun Ye teased.
Cheng Chumo didn't have time to argue with him. All he could think about now was Qin Hao's words "there are countless lives saved." Although he had some doubts in his heart, how could this round gadget save so many lives? But with the previous salt production
With his magical technique and the miraculous performance of suturing wounds, he now has no doubt that Qin Hao and Yun Ye are disciples of immortals.
Under Cheng Chumo's instructions, five large vats were quickly brought in, and several soldiers selected fertile soil from outside the military camp to fill the vats.
The news here spread quickly. When Cheng Yaojin heard the noise outside, he frowned and called for his soldiers.
"Go and see what's going on outside."
"promise."
Soon the soldiers came to report.
"Reporting to the General, it is the two nobles and Lieutenant Cheng who are tinkering with five large vats. They seem to be planting something."
Cheng Yaojin perked up as soon as he heard this, mainly because Qin Hao and Yun Ye gave him too many surprises. They first made salt and then used "suturing" to reduce the casualty rate of wounded soldiers by more than half. See you on the battlefield.
Soldiers who have seen blood are completely different from those who have not seen blood. This actually helped Zuo Wuwei retain a large part of his combat effectiveness.
"Let's go and take a look."
Cheng Yaojin came to Qin Hao's tent with his soldiers, and it turned out that he was really planting things. Qin Hao and Yun Ye dug small holes in the large tanks, and then planted tender seeds one by one.
The yellow lumps of buds were stuffed in, and then carefully covered with soil.
"What are you doing? Planting flowers?"
Yun Ye was startled by Cheng Yaojin. When he turned around, he realized it was the old man and said proudly.
"This is a good thing that will allow the people of the Tang Dynasty to never go hungry again."
Cheng Yaojin was not as easy to fool as Cheng Chumo. He looked suspiciously at the several large tanks and the remaining small yellow pieces that had not been buried in the soil.
"That's all?"
Yun Ye chuckled: "You'll know when the time comes."
However, Yun Ye had obviously targeted the wrong person. This was the Demon King Cheng Yaojin. Not to mention a small baron, even a prince would still dare to beat him when his temper got angry. As for the children of gods, for him,
For warriors who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they have no deterrent effect.
He slapped Yun Ye directly on the back of the head, causing Yun Ye to lean back and almost faint.
Yun Ye covered the back of his head and hid behind Qin Hao. Ever since the two of them got together, he had become accustomed to hiding behind Qin Hao when in danger, and it had become a muscle memory.
Qin Hao was secretly amused. This kid knew that Cheng Yaojin was impatient and still wanted to tease him. He deserved the beating.
"General Cheng, the scientific name of this thing is: potato, and the family teacher calls it: potato. It is a kind of crop, both vegetable and grain. The yield per acre is amazing, it can reach 20 stones per acre. The most important thing is that it can withstand drought and does not pick the land.
It can be planted even on dry land, but the yield per acre will be less."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes almost burst out when he heard this: "Baron Qin's words are serious."
"As far back as I can remember, Master has been growing potatoes. Our brothers and sisters have eaten potatoes ranging from one thousand to eight hundred. There is nothing wrong with that."
Upon seeing this, Yun Ye quickly agreed to increase his persuasiveness.
"So, this is something more valuable than life." Although Cheng Yaojin didn't believe that potatoes could produce twenty dan per mu, but even if it was only half that, it would be extremely amazing, and he didn't even bother with the land.
If this thing were real, it would really save people all over the world from going hungry.
"I am passing on my general's order. A ten-foot radius is designated as a restricted area. No one is allowed to approach except the general, Qin and Yun. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
With the word "cut", murderous intent filled the air. Cheng Yao's murderous intent crawling out of the golden corpse mountain was released without reservation. His eyes were as wide as copper bells. If anyone dared to take a step closer, he would immediately draw his sword to kill.
"promise!"
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he clasped his fists at Qin Hao and Yun Ye: "Two noble lords, this potato is rare in the world and has never been heard of by others. I can only trouble you two for your hard work. Cheng, the people of the Tang Dynasty, thanked you for their lives."
kindness."
"General Cheng's words are serious. My brothers will definitely let this thing multiply." Qin Hao also raised his fist and returned the salute.
This time Cheng Yaojin returned to being a domineering one, but he still pretended to be a common people at heart. This alone was not easy.
"Dad, I..."
Cheng Chumo saw that this was not possible. He was the first to find out, so it was none of his own business. As soon as he opened his mouth, Cheng Yaojin kicked him.
"What are you still doing here? Didn't you hear my command? If you don't retreat, behead!"
Cheng Chumo ran ten feet away with a depressed face. In order to mark the boundary to prevent soldiers from accidentally entering and being killed, Cheng Yaojin also asked someone to get lime and draw a ten-foot circle. The guarding soldiers also wore helmets.
Armored, fully armed.
Yun Ye didn't expect that it would turn out like this. After returning to the tent, he whispered to Qin Hao: "Brother, are these potatoes still ours?"
"What do you think?" Qin Hao shook his head secretly. Yun Ye still didn't realize what the yield of twenty dan per mu of grain meant in the Tang Dynasty.
In ancient times, due to low productivity, the most important factor affecting the life span of a dynasty was food. Food was the most important thing for the people. As long as they had something to eat, the people would not think of rebellion.
Only when they can no longer survive will the common people join the uprising. Anyway, both left and right will die, so they might as well fight for it.
If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death? When the people are not afraid of death, a dynasty is basically hopeless.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang could afford a full meal, he would not join the Red Scarf Army.
The common man was innocent of the crime of having a jade in his possession. Qin Hao took out the potatoes with great fanfare, without intending to keep them for private use. To put it bluntly, he used this thing to let Li Shimin know that he had no ambition to change the dynasty.
After Cheng Yaojin returned to the commander's tent, he sat in front of the commander's desk, picked up the pen, put it down, picked it up again, and put it down again.
Naturally, he would not hide the potato matter from Li Shimin, and he couldn't hide it. Even if Li Shimin trusted him again, there would definitely be people from Baiqisi in the military camp.
"That's all, just tell the truth. As for the authenticity, let Your Majesty have a headache."
