Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 97 Joining the military?
Before the emergence of agriculture and animal husbandry, people's main sources of food and living materials were wild animals and plants obtained from gathering, fishing and hunting activities, which depended to a large extent on nature.After the emergence of agriculture, people changed the relationship between man and nature.People can get as much food from a small piece of land as they can from gathering and hunting on a larger piece of land.In the practice of agricultural production, people have found a relatively stable and reliable source of food and clothing by using the knowledge about biological reproduction and relying on their own activities to multiply natural products.Since then, people have gained some initiative in interacting with nature.

With the gradual development of agriculture, people can produce surplus food other than meeting the needs of producers themselves. This kind of surplus material is the emergence of cities, and the division of labor in agriculture, animal husbandry, and handicrafts, especially mental labor can be differentiated from physical labor. out of the material basis.The emergence of agriculture is an epoch-making event, which is the foundation of civilization. ——Excerpt from "This Book Is Enough to Read World History"

Datang is a big agricultural country, food is extremely important!If there is grain, there will be no famine in the Tang Dynasty, and if there is grain, the Tang Dynasty will not lack strong soldiers and majestic and invincible troops.

Now Datang has a staple food with a yield of eight stones per mu... not more than eight stones!Li Er excitedly got out of the cornfield, and excitedly asked the weigher.The man answered Li Er tremblingly, 21 stones!
Li Er trembled, such an acre of land can feed a family of three!

"Your Majesty, there are not so many! There are also corncobs! And we have to wait until the corn kernels are dried and peeled off to find out!" Ding Yi stopped Li Er from going crazy at the right time!Surprised or not, unexpected!

Li Er's whole body is not well!I...you tell me about corn cobs!Can't wait to dry, ordered someone to peel off the corn kernels on the spot!
Eight stones and two buckets, stripped and wiped off, the golden corn kernels were neatly packed in sacks!

Twice the output of wheat, millet, and chestnut, Li Er held a handful of corn with trembling hands.I just heard Ding Yi talk about it before, but I never saw it!Now, in front of me, what is more important than these bags of grain!
Du Ruhui and the others also came out of the corn field, all of them holding corn cobs, with rosy faces and excited expressions!
"Your Majesty! This is God bless me, Tang!" Wei Zheng cried, hugging the corn!

How come God bless Datang, this is what I made, okay!These people!I seem to remember that the credit for the corn has not yet been rewarded!
"Your Majesty! This corn is not cold-resistant. It can only be planted once a year in the north. If it is south of the Yangtze River, it can be planted twice a year!" This corn will freeze to death in winter in the north!

When everyone heard it, they were both happy and regretful!The joy is that this corn can be planted for two seasons, and there will be sixteen stones of grain per mu of land in that year!It's a pity that it is not cold-resistant, and it is necessary to transport grain from Jiangnan in the future!
Li Er calmed down now, and said, "How do you eat this corn?"

"Uh...the whole root is boiled, roasted, and fried in various ways before it is fully ripe. After it is cooked, it can be ground into cornmeal, or it can be smashed and cooked into porridge!" Ding Yi believes that as long as the corn is popularized, Datang's People will try their best to eat this corn.

Li Er asked about corn planting again, and then stopped talking.It's just that I was thinking quietly, and I didn't say anything about the reward for Ding Yi, it's a headache!

Hundreds of people broke the corn, and the [-] mu of land had already been broken at this time.All the officials scratched the backs of their hands and walked out of the corn field with frustrated faces!I was surprised by the corn just now, but now I realized that I was so uncomfortable being brushed by the corn leaves!
The corn stalks were cut off by the people in the farm, and they were kept in nests in the cellar, it was a natural feed!
Li Er looked at the chili and potato fields, but didn't ask Ding Yi further.There are a lot of people around, it's not good to let them know!
After the corn is harvested, Li Er is going back to Beijing.Ding Yi, who wanted to stay, had no choice but to obediently follow the team back to Beijing after a word of mouth!
It was already night when we returned to the capital, and all the officials went back to their homes!Let's talk tomorrow!
Li Er, who returned to the palace, is immersed in the gentleness at this moment!Empress Changsun, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Yang stroked Li Er's red mark painted by corn leaves with light hands.Listening to Li Er talking about corn, he exclaimed again and again!Eight stones per mu!Two more seasons to go!
Empress Changsun sighed: "This Ding Yi is really my Tang Dynasty's lucky star!"

"Sister, I heard that Marquis Shiping is just a young man who has not reached the crown?" Concubine Yang also asked the words of Empress Changsun.Empress Changsun is the head of the harem, and it is her code of conduct not to participate in political affairs.Li Er's concubines were also impressed by the unique charm of the eldest grandson, and they all knew that the friendship between Li Er's eldest grandson and the eldest grandson was not overstepped.At the moment, it's just Lala's daily life!

Abandoning the enjoying Li Er, the eldest grandson and the three began to sing!

…………

The next day at the court meeting, Ding Yi was summoned by Li Er.In the sunny morning, I was in this Tai Chi Hall.Focusing on the corn planting issue, the top officials of Datang had a heated discussion.

Ding Yi said yesterday that two seasons can be planted in the south, so the breeding place for this corn is also set to be in the south of the Yangtze River.Today, there are only 170 shi of original corn species, which can be planted for one season every year, and can be planted all over the country as soon as possible.

However, the candidate for this corn planting has been unable to decide for a long time. The corn planting is a great contribution!Although the greatest contribution was taken by Ding Yi, the matter of breeding and promotion is also a great contribution!

The lineage of the aristocratic family, the lineage of Tiance Mansion, and the lineage of court veterans.It was a life-and-death fight, and in the end, the elegant people lost to the ordinary people!Laity lost to old man again!Wang Gui, the servant of the Huangmen Gate, will be in charge!

Li Er is still a person who never forgets the well digger, and Ding Yi's reward has been brought to the table.The 12-year-old county marquis of Datang was also the secretary of the Imperial College.This status is already extremely honorable, but it cannot be justified without a reward!

The aristocratic family thinks that Ding Yi is still young, and it is not suitable for him to be rewarded now.The veterans feel that it is unreasonable not to grant a reward, so they still want to reward!People from Tiance Mansion also expressed their views, but they were not very clear.Cheng Yaojin clamored to knock out the teeth of those who prevented him from giving Ding a reward, and Qin Qiong also stood up to speak for Ding Yi.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui also expressed their position cryptically, while the others remained neutral.After all, the aristocratic family is outnumbered, so Ding still has to be rewarded.

But this reward was difficult, Fang Xuanling reminded Ding Yi, a Fengyi Lang Wensan official from the sixth rank.This stabbed a hornet's nest, what qualifications does Ding Yi have to be named a literary official.He also listed several reasons why Ding was not qualified. In today's terms, he did not have a diploma, and he did not have ... member status!

They couldn't just watch Ding Yi ascend to the throne, although they could easily crush him to death.But this opening cannot be opened, otherwise Li Er's hand will come in in the future, and the capital of their family will be lost!
But the drowsy protagonist doesn't feel much about these arguments!He summed it up to himself, he only had two words for Datang - passerby! ! !
As long as he can successfully collect civilization points and return to the later generations, it doesn't matter what the battle is!
This time Cheng Yaojin and others were defeated, Xiao Yu, Wang Gui and others also felt that Ding Yi was not suitable to be a Wensan official.

At this time, someone proposed to seal Ding Yi as a martial artist. As soon as this remark was made, it was immediately widely recognized!

And His Majesty Li Er just watched the court debate quietly, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.No one knows what he is thinking!
There is no end to life, no end to struggle!Ding Yi's reward has also been set, he is the sixth-rank Lieutenant Zhaowu!
