"If Sinong Temple arranges for unified planting in official fields in various places, it will be more convenient for them to take care of it, and it will not harm the people's power."
"After the harvest is harvested, relief to the victims can be reasonably distributed based on the disaster situation across the country."
I have to say that this is where these courtiers are more sophisticated than Tang Ping.
Li Shimin thought about it and it made sense. Tang Ping didn't know how many potato seedlings they could get this time, but they couldn't plant all the land in Datang, right? Moreover, now that we have a basic introduction to spring plowing, the seeds have gone down in the fields, and it is impossible to replant potatoes.
On the other hand, the official fields in various places mentioned by Dai Zhou are mostly used to plant tributes and the like. This year, they will be used to grow potatoes first. With some imperial villages in Chang'an, the land will be enough.
In this way, even if Tang Ping's two disaster prevention strategies were decided, everyone would perform their duties and make preparations.
For example, the land for planting potatoes must be plowed first, how to contact East Vietnam to trade duck seedlings, and how to manage the duck seedlings after they are distributed. These are the things that they and their subordinates should worry about.
"I don't know who is behind this?" It's not just one person who has such suspicions, but if the emperor doesn't tell them, there's nothing they can do.
Is it possible that when Li Shimin left the palace, they still dared to secretly send people to follow him to find out what happened?
And they knew that Li Jing probably knew about this, but they couldn't ask Li Jing to inquire about secrets that the emperor didn't want to tell. Did he feel that his head was not comfortable enough on his neck?
So I can only bury such questions in my heart.
The official efficiency of Datang was very good. They quickly contacted the East Vietnamese envoy and expressed their intention to trade.
If there hadn't been April Fool's Day in this world, the East Vietnamese envoys would have wondered whether they were being used to play tricks.
Trading iron ore for ducks? Is there something wrong with my ears or is there something wrong with your brains?
Let alone ducks, there are all kinds of rare resources. It is extremely difficult for East Vietnam to exchange for iron ore.
In many cases, their iron ore is purchased from Fuyu State through maritime trade to support domestic consumption.
So after repeated confirmation, the envoy of the East Yue Kingdom rushed eight hundred miles to report back to the East Yue Kingdom.
On the other side, Tang Ping waited impatiently for five days, and it was finally time to return to reality.
He still set the time to nine o'clock in the morning half a month after he last went back.
"Ergou, does anyone know anyone who can buy potatoes?"
The first thing was to call Gou Shaoqun, the second-generation rich man, to see if he had any connections.
"Potatoes? Why don't you just go to the vegetable market and buy them?" Gou Shaoqun was confused, and then said excitedly: "I'll go, brother Ping, you don't know, we have already made many of those motion capture shots you gave me last time It’s animated, and the effect is, tsk tsk tsk…”
Gou Shaoqun smashed it and said proudly: "From now on, just ask me about the light of domestic animation!"
Tang Ping didn't want to talk to him anymore. He only had 36 hours in total: "I want a lot!"
"It's very big? What do you want to do?" Gou Shaoqun couldn't understand. Why did you buy so many potatoes by yourself? Can that thing still be used to build a house?
"Oops, it's too late to explain. If you don't have any connections, I'll hang up first."
"Wait a minute, let me ask you!" Seeing that Tang Ping was so anxious, it was probably something urgent. Gou Shaoqun didn't waste any time. He first called his hotel and asked about it. He wanted to come to the hotel to purchase ingredients. There should be something. Such channels.
Sure enough, there was indeed one, so he quickly asked for the phone number of an agricultural product company, and even made a phone call first to get some air.
What I mean is that I am the one who buys things. I don’t ask you to make things cheaper, but don’t think about robbing people. Just make what you deserve.
When Tang Ping called, the person on the other side was very polite. Tang Ping's request was actually not a problem. For them, dozens of tons of potatoes was not a big problem. The problem was that Tang Ping wanted it today.
In the end, because of the face of Gou Shaoqun's family, the other party agreed to a price of 3,000 yuan per ton, and charged some freight, and delivered it to him in the back alley at six o'clock in the evening, a total of 50 tons.
According to the information he found, one kilogram of potatoes can contain one hundred kilograms of potatoes when harvested. If he discounts it, it is fifty kilograms. Then these fifty tons of potatoes will become 2,500 tons when mature.
Of course, this is still the most ideal situation.
At this time, the total registered population of the Tang Dynasty was more than six million. Counting some gangsters and the like, there were probably not more than eight million people.
2,500 tons of potatoes are distributed among eight million people, and each person only weighs 0.3 kilograms.
Tang Ping paid the money and quickly started his purchasing trip again.
First, I replenished the daily necessities in the convenience store, and then ordered a batch of insect-proof nets. This kind of thing does not cure the root cause, but at least it can protect the crops as much as possible when the locust plague comes.
It's just that he can't buy too much. The most he can do is keep the spring wheat planted in Shanghe Village this year.
After thinking about it, I ordered another batch of compressed biscuits. Although this thing is said to be anti-hunger, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Unless he, Tang Ping, could haul supplies to the Tang Dynasty one train at a time, he could only do his best and obey fate.
Then I bought a few automatic hatching machines, thinking that when the time comes, I can raise ducks and hatch ducklings at the same time. It will be more or less effective.
After some crazy shopping, the balance on the card was reduced by almost 400,000.
When fifty tons of potatoes were pulled over at six o'clock in the evening, Tang Ping was dumbfounded again.
There are so many!
Although I hired an unloading master, there were so many that I couldn't even load them in my small warehouse, so I could only deliver them to Datang through a convenience store.
But I knew it was completely impossible to deliver all the potatoes three hours before nine o'clock by myself.
Finally, Tang Ping was heartbroken and asked Lao Cui and Lao Du to change his clothes and went to the small warehouse.
This was also the first time that the two of them saw the outside world from the small warehouse.
The unloading master unloaded the potatoes from the car and put them on the cart. Then the three of them kept pushing the cart to Datang to unload.
Originally, the unloading master wanted to help Tang Ping with good intentions, but how could Tang Ping dare to let them come to Datang?
Just kind words declined.
One car weighs about 500 kilograms, four cars only weighs one ton!
It took three people to drag almost two hundred carts to transport all the potatoes.
Lao Cui and Lao Du were pretty good, but pushing the cart was really not too strenuous for them.
But Tang Ping was miserable. After unloading the last load of potatoes, he felt like he was about to fall apart.
Li Bai accidentally touched his thigh, causing him to jump up in pain.
