Looking at the information on the interface, Liu Bian couldn't help but feel more conflicted.
Set A was considered a martial arts style, while Set B was more inclined to farming.
Whether it was his extraordinary martial arts or the science and technology that was regarded as the " first productive force ", for a transmigrator who did not have any fart skills, they were all quite tempting existences!
In the end, Liu Bian still chose the " golden mean " of his ancestors and chose the C package that could be freely combined.
The three rewards that were selected were Red Emperor's Amulet, Potato Seed, and Sumeru Ring.
Of course, he could not bear to part with the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords. However, he was already the emperor. Compared to fighting and killing directly, it was more important to guard against hidden threats.
According to the system, the Crimson Emperor Amulet could not only prevent the host from being physically injured, but it could also make the host immune to poisons.
For the Emperor who was at the center of the power struggle, this was definitely an irreplaceable weapon for self-defense!
It was easy to choose the Xumi Ring.
Even modern technology couldn't make this kind of thing. It was a magical creature at the level of a divine artifact. How could he let it go?
The most important thing was that the rewards obtained from the system in the future could also be placed directly into it, which was very convenient.
There was also another point. Rings were the standard equipment of many web novel protagonists!
Liu Bian had a vague feeling that after wearing the ring, he would have the aura of a protagonist like Long Aotian.
The last item," potato seeds ", looked unremarkable, even mediocre to the point of being trash, but it was actually what he needed the most at the moment.
Through his previous life's research, Liu Bian had come up with a set of simple yet understandable logic regarding the peasant uprisings in Chinese history.
What was the most fundamental reason for the rebellion?
The commoners could not eat their fill!
Other than human factors, what was the main reason for not having enough to eat?
Natural disasters!
Therefore, if he wanted to strengthen the imperial power and maintain the stability of the empire, he had to think of a way to increase the country's food production!
And this kind of crop, which had a vitality far stronger than rice and wheat, was definitely a life-saving medicine for the declining Eastern Han Empire!
"I remember that China's Gansu Province, Guyuan, Inner Mongolia, and Northeast China are all major potato producers. In other words, this thing could not only fill the stomachs of the common people, but also expand the territory for me!”
The more Liu Bian thought about it, the more excited he became.
Why was it that no matter how vast the territory of the Han regime in Chinese history was, its core area was ultimately limited to the three million square kilometers of land when the Qin Dynasty unified the entire country?
It was because other places were too wild that it was difficult for farming people to survive there.
Especially in the Northern Region!
Other than the " map-maniacs " like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, most rulers would find it hard to be interested in such places.
However, the arrival of potatoes could greatly change this situation.
Because potatoes were very suitable to grow in places with extremely low grain production, even the chaotic and desolate borders such as Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou could become grain-producing areas in the future.
The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to usher in a population explosion was that after the 16th century, potatoes, corn, and other items were introduced into the empire one after another. They played a huge role in maintaining population growth.
In short, potatoes could not only help the Empire increase its population, but also allow the people of the Empire to colonize the Northern Territory in the future!
History told Liu Bian that in the long period of feudal society, whether it was the Han people or the minority ethnic groups that dominated China, the biggest enemy of the agricultural regime would always come from the nomadic regime in the north. Even the powerful Han, Tang, and Ming Dynasties could not deal with this hidden danger.
However, once colonization was carried out, not only could the core territory of the empire be further expanded, but it could also absorb nomads with its powerful assimilation ability.
From now on, this problem might be solved once and for all, and the tragedy of the five chaotic factions would not happen.
"I don't just rely on soldiers, generals, and weapons to fight. I also rely on potatoes!”
At this moment, Liu Bian's gaze had already jumped out of the evidence in front of him and was placed in a more far-reaching place.
The magic power of a small potato was far beyond imagination!
Some people would definitely ask if he was stupid. Couldn't he find a way to get the seeds from the place of origin…
What a joke. Even though the Eastern Han Dynasty's shipbuilding technology was at the top of the world, the ships they built were basically limited to inland activities. Their voyage ability was relatively low. It would take decades for them to even land on the island.
The origin of potatoes was South America!
To the current Huaxia, that was almost a whole new world.
"Ding! The host has made his choice!"
"Ding! The reward has been issued. According to the host's request, 5000 bags of potato seeds have been placed in the Sumeru Ring!”
After submitting his choice, the system immediately distributed all the rewards.
A Tiger Tally appeared out of nowhere in Liu Bian's arms, and a ring appeared on his hand.
In the ring, 5,000 bags of potato seeds used to reverse the fate of the empire were neatly placed.
"Since I'm dressed as an emperor, I'm destined to be unsatisfied with mediocrity. Not only do I want to become the ruler of the country, but I also want to become a great emperor who will expand the territory in the future!”
Liu Bian's ambition was ignited.
From this moment on, his mentality had completely changed from the Buddhist youth in his previous life to the ambitious ruler of the empire!
