"Remember, Tieniu, even if a hundred members of Jin Yiwei die in Baiyue during this trip, we must protect the peasant disciples and bring things back!"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Bai was extremely serious for the first time!
And in front of him was Tieniu!
Tieniu didn't question this bizarre order at all!
Military orders are like mountains. How can the most elite warriors in the Qin Dynasty hesitate in the slightest about military orders?
"promise!"
Tieniu's eyes were solemn and he nodded.
"Tianniu, knowing the truth, it is unreasonable to directly give you a death mission. What's more, these brothers of yours have only been in Jinyiwei for a few days."
"But please open the map."
Liu Bai sighed and patted Tieniu on the shoulder.
"This is...."
"Baiyue?"
Tieniu was stunned for a moment, then opened the map and felt something familiar.
The Land of Baiyue had been repeated before. He had also followed Wang Ben to Pingding, so he naturally recognized it clearly.
This is also the reason why Liu Bai first chooses the Wang family when he needs someone!
From the beginning, he was laying it out!
Whether it was setting up Jin Yiwei or finding people from the Nongmo family to come to Xianyang, this was all part of his plan!
The entire chess game can be said to be the first time that Liu Bai made a move for Great Qin in a real sense.
And this first move, there are constant back-ups!
If you want to make Qin rich, both farmers and Mohists will be weak, even if you are lame!
"That's right! In the land of Baiyue, there is a crop called Champa rice! It can be grown to produce a thousand kilograms per mu! If it is left to the farmer disciples to crossbreed new varieties, I am afraid it can produce two thousand kilograms!"
"Now you know the importance of this trip, right?"
Liu Bai nodded slightly and spoke in a deep voice.
food!
What Great Qin lacks most now is not the money in the treasury, but food!
In the feudal era, any gold or silver wealth was just the fart of a stepmother! Only food is the cornerstone of a country's prosperity!
Food is the most important thing for the people. This sentence is really not a joke.
“A yield of one thousand catties per mu?!!!”
After saying these words, even the calm Tieniu screamed in surprise at this moment, and even his voice was a little hoarse!
Liu Bai's eyes were slightly stunned, because...
He found that the hard-hearted man in front of him had tears in his eyes and all the muscles in his body were tense.
"Baiyue..."
Tieniu gritted his teeth and spit out these two words.
At this moment, this resolute warrior, who was one of the best in Huben Camp, burst out with murderous intent in his eyes, which was amazing!
With this murderous intention, those who didn't know it would have thought that this kid wanted to directly kill Baiyue with his own strength!
"Go! Get familiar with the newly created equipment today. Tomorrow you will be the team leader, leading a hundred farm boys and royal guards to Baiyue to search for rice in Zhancheng."
"I grant you privileges along the way. Even if you encounter a powerful person who blocks your way back to Xianyang, you can kill them with one sword!"
"Remember, as long as you bring Champa Rice back, if the sky falls, I will go to Xianyang Palace to hold you up!"
When Liu Bai saw Tieniu's appearance, he nodded and spoke with seriousness.
He, Liu Bai, is not a bad person. This trip is difficult and dangerous, so he must be fully prepared.
The blacksmiths were originally called in to make the special forces suits, but now a hundred sets have been rushed out, all of which have been equipped on these Jin Yiwei.
With these equipment, Liu Bai is confident that even if he is chased and intercepted by the Vietnamese natives, he can escape back to Xianyang under the leadership of Tieniu.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister Liu. Even if Tieniu dies, he will protect the farm disciples and return to Xianyang with the Champa rice! Brothers, knowing the yield of this divine grain, you will never give up!"
Tie Niu wiped away his tears violently, Tie Han shed tears and became more determined!
"Subordinates resign!"
Tieniu gave a military salute, turned around and left.
Looking at Tieniu's figure, Liu Bai's eyes showed a little guilt.
Tieniu, his parents, younger sister, and even the people in his village all died of famine.
There is great hunger and people eat each other....
The blood and tears of history drip down on people’s bodies, how heart-breaking and bone-crushing!
"Hey! It's windy and there's a lot of sand."
Liu Bai shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and turned back to the study.
Where there is a lot of sand, there are a lot of fools.
The iron bull who bravely goes to such a smoky place like Baiyue is a fool.
After hearing about the divine food, Nong Shang threw his only son into the team heading to Baiyue. He was also a fool.
As for Liu Bai... in Xianyang, under the nose of the Black Dragon Guard, he built a special forces suit and smuggled out of the Qin Dynasty. Every one of them was a capital offense for treason, just to make this move successful and give these fools a little more hope of survival. ..
Isn’t he, Liu Bai, also a fool?
....
Zhangtai Palace.
"I report to Your Majesty that Young Master Che opened a salt shop in a busy city. He first ordered his driver to ride his horse through the streets, drop the salt from the bag, and attract the people to watch."
"Then he bowed and apologized, and the people tasted the dropped salt and flocked to buy it."
"The price of salt...a penny and a half a catty!"
Zhang Han looked extremely strange, held up a small bag with both hands, and opened his mouth to report.
"Send it up!"
His Majesty the First Emperor, who was reviewing memorials, paused slightly with the brush in his hand, raised his eyes and spoke.
And Dunruo on the side, his pupils trembled fiercely!
He quickly walked to Zhang Han, took the small salt bag, and presented it to His Majesty the First Emperor.
One cent and a half? ! ! !
Is this young master Tetsu doing business at a loss?
Normally half a kilogram of table salt costs at least ten dollars!
There is no need to worry about selling something like table salt. Ordinary salt merchants are trying their best to raise the price of salt, but Mr. Toru...lowered the price so outrageously?
not to mention...
Young Master Che is a member of the Great Qin royal family! Your Majesty is not angry about selling salt?
"Um?"
His Majesty the First Emperor opened the salt bag and was slightly stunned when he looked at the fine salt inside.
It is as white as snow, with fine particles and no impurities such as sand and stones.
It can be said that even the salt used in Xianyang Palace is not as good as this salt!
"Your Majesty, this salt is of excellent quality. This slave is actually a little greedy. I hope your Majesty will allow it!"
Seeing His Majesty the First Emperor's expression, Dunruo spoke quickly.
As a personal attendant of His Majesty the Emperor, he still has some foresight.
"allow!"
His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes flashed slightly and he spoke calmly.
Dunruo poured a little salt onto his palm, thinking that since the price was so low, it must be a worthless salt.
No matter how good the taste is, it's probably just as good as vinegar cloth at the same price.
However, if this is possible, this young master Che is also incredible!
However, when Dunruo's tongue licked the salt...
This valet who was always known for his stability in the palace suddenly shrank his pupils and his body trembled slightly at this moment!
"This...this...this salt..."
