" However, before the development of commerce, we still have to ensure that there is sufficient food. Food is the most important thing for the people. If they are not full, everything will be useless!”
In the end, Li Yi pulled back his words. He had no choice but to withdraw. These people were smart. It was better to take the initiative.
If they were to retreat, the initiative might be in the hands of these big shots!
"Food is the most important thing for the people.”
Du Ruhui looked at Li Yi with admiration. He had experienced the pain of not being able to eat his fill, so he had a deeper attachment to food than others!
"Men, bring the things up!"
As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, he heard the sound of a sword being drawn. He saw a soldier standing at the door pull out a blade. Li Shiming was shocked, but after taking a closer look, he sighed. Jin Da, put away the blade. With the Hundred Cavalry Guards by his side, no one would make a move on the grain seeds!”
Li Yi sighed!
The moment he called out 'Jinda', Li Yi knew who this person was. Niu Jinda, who had joined Wang Shichong with Cheng Yaojin and the others. He had also joined the Heavenly Policy Bureau as a general, and had made significant contributions to the wars against Goguryeo, Gaochang, and Tubo!
However, Li Yi knew that his family had been poor since he was young. Once, there was a famine, and everyone in the family starved to death. The entire family left all the food for him. In the end, he survived, but his family died!
"General Niu, after we gather enough Immortal food, I promise you that for five years, the Great Tang will no longer suffer from famine!”
At the very least, he couldn't let them starve to death!
At the door, Niu Jinda's hand that was retracting the blade suddenly paused. Then, he said in a deep voice,"If Langjun can really do it, I'll be your general!”
"Old Bull, don't be stupid!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly and then looked at Li Shiming. Li Shiming shook his head,"Let him go. Back then, his entire family starved to death. It was Old Bull's knot in his heart. If I were him, if I could see that there was no more famine in the world, I would lose my status as a servant for the immortal child!”
Niu Jinda was a general, but what was a family general? That was an existence that lived and died together with the family. Even Li Shiming didn't have many family generals. This was very different from a family servant. First, a family general had to swear an oath of blood. Not only the family general, but Li Yi also had to. Then, the blood of both parties would be mixed with wine. After drinking it together, they would become a family.
The position of a general in the family was second only to the master, but above everything else!
"General Niu, you're being too serious. Even without you, I would have done it!”
Li Yi's point was still very good. There were some things that could be done, but there were some things that could not be done. There were some things that could benefit, but there were some things that could not be done. The matter of food was of great importance and could even affect the structure of the entire world. Therefore, everyone was very careful.
This thing was a huge blow to the aristocratic families, so they had to take it step by step!
"In a few more days, the Ministry of Works will head to Lantian County to build the Marquis 'Residence. Once the Marquis' Residence is built, you will be the Marquis of Lantian County!”
Li Yi nodded his head. Li Yi had to keep Lantian County in his hands. He even planned to open a jewelry store in Shanghai to sell Lantian jade. To Li Yi, this was a business that cost nothing!
It was also the source of Li Yi's large amount of money.
Then, everyone began to discuss how to deal with the food.
First, there was the matter of breeding. It was impossible for Li Yi to bring food that could be grown in the entire Great Tang. Fortunately, potatoes and sweet potatoes were seeds. In the first year, they could increase the yield by tens of thousands of times. Basically, as long as they had three plots of land, they could produce food for all the fields of a family.
However, he could not be lacking in other food supplies. The main food supplies of the Great Tang were wheat and corn. Although corn could be eliminated because it tasted too bad, he could consider bringing in rice!
Which was rice!
This was Li Yi's favorite. There was no other way. Li Yi really could not live without white rice. When he came to the Tang Empire, the first thing he did was to take care of his old godmother, and the second thing he did was to bring back white rice!
After the discussion, the sweet potatoes could still be planted this year. Li Yi specially bought some agricultural books to read. It was June now, and it was just the right time to grow seedlings. Moreover, Li Yi could directly buy the sweet potato seeds that had been grown and plant them, saving time for growing seedlings!
Li Yi could afford such a small amount of money!
Moreover, it wouldn't attract any attention. Li Yi's zoo was already big. What was wrong with me planting sweet potatoes that were a few hundred meters long? My own land can't be next to others!
After the discussion, Li Yi rejected Li Shimin's request for funds from the national treasury. There were still many things that had not been replaced. Li Yi still had a bucket of pearls in his warehouse. There were a total of 100 pearls, each of which was more than 35 millimeters in diameter. This was extremely rare on Earth.
These were the normal ones in Li Shiming's palace. If they were the best ones, they would be more than 45 centimeters in diameter. There were also some special ones such as black or gold.
Li Yi wasn't qualified to buy the gold ones, but he could buy some of the black ones. One of them could be sold for millions!
That night, Li Yi returned to the modern world and began to prepare. Of course, the most important thing was that Li Yi needed to start bringing in animals. The first thing he needed to bring in was the alpaca!
Firstly, this thing was not expensive. Secondly, there was a large quantity of this thing. Thirdly, this thing was liked by people. It was big and could provide a lot of energy. During the depilation season, they could even pick some alpaca hair.
It was still daytime when he came back. Li Yi also came back in the morning. Less than ten minutes later, Li Yi started cleaning the zoo. Then, he found the five staff members who were still in the zoo.
"I've earned some money recently. I know that everyone has worked hard, so starting from this month, the salary I want will be increased by 1000 yuan, and the bonus will be increased by 2000 yuan. It's almost the end of the month.”
"Thank you, Director!"
When the staff heard this, they were instantly very happy. Although the work here was hard and tiring, everyone had persevered. The salary was actually not high. The bonus plus salary was only six or seven thousand. But now, with this increase, it directly broke through ten thousand!
The zoo provided accommodation. There were plants next to the vegetables and greenhouses. They only needed to buy some meat. Basically, the expenses were very low. With a salary of more than 10,000 yuan, it was not a problem to save up 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month, or even 10,000 yuan!
After all, the zoo worked all year round and rarely had the time to spend money!
