I Have Something That Can Save Millions of Commoners!
Li Shi Min looked at the young man in front of him and was surprised.
Yuchi Jingde's fierce reputation was known outside, and he was also aware of it. Even the princes and princesses of his family would involuntarily be nervous when they saw Yuchi Jingde.
Other than Yuchi Jingde's frightening appearance, the baleful aura he exuded from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood was enough to make an ordinary person's legs go weak. However, this youth was not afraid of Yuchi Jingde's threats. Even when facing him, his expression was calm.
Not to mention whether he had real talent or not, at least this courage was enough for him to face it seriously.
"A gentleman is unparalleled in the world, and a stranger is like jade. What a good name!”
Li Shi Min praised and said,"My brother is quite hot-tempered and didn't mean to criticize you. I hope you can forgive me. But just now, Sir said that the time was not right and he could not see us.”
" You'll find out later," Jun Ruyu said with a faint smile." Please come in, esteemed guests."”
Following Jun Ruyu's invitation, Li Shiming and the other three finally entered Jun Ruyu's thatched cottage. They saw a small courtyard in the middle of these fences. There were some green plants planted in the courtyard, but Li Shiming and the others had never seen these green plants before. They didn't know if they were vegetables or something else.
After walking past the courtyard and entering the wooden house, Li Shiming and the others looked around and saw that the wooden house was very simple and crude. They couldn't see a single painting, which made them frown.
Rumors had it that Mister Ruyu was a heaven-shaking talent, but there was not a single piece of calligraphy in this room. This made them doubt Jun Ruyu's talent.
Jun Ruyu saw the change in their expressions, but she did not explain. She just sat there quietly and waited for them to speak.
Li Shiming and the others exchanged a glance, then heard Li Shiming cough. Fang Xuanling and the others immediately understood and stood up.
"Mr. Ruyu, we heard that you have the talent to govern the country and have unparalleled talent. Today, we have some questions that we would like to ask you.”Fang Xuanling said.
"He's here! It's starting!"
Jun Ruyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard Fang Xuanling's words.
He knew that the official business had begun.
Whether or not he could complete the first mission given by the system would depend on the following answers.
"Everyone, please speak. I will tell you everything I know.”Jun Ruyu said calmly.
Fang Xuanling nodded and said," Two years ago, the southwestern region of the Tang Empire was hit by an unprecedented drought. Now, the country's granaries are in dire straits, and the people are starving every day. His Majesty is very worried about this and can't bear to see the people suffer such a disaster. Therefore, I would like to ask you if there is a way to save the people.”
Fang Xuanling's question was very important. The Tang Dynasty had suffered from a drought for two years. Although it finally rained this year, the country's grain storage had been exhausted. The current grain production was extremely low, and it was simply not enough to save millions of refugees.
The ministers of the court had discussed this issue for a long time, but they could not think of any solution. They could not just conjure food out of thin air, right?
Therefore, everyone in the court was having a headache. The reason why Li Shiming was willing to come to Jun Ruyu was because he heard that Jun Ruyu had a way to save the people.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling was the first to ask this question about the millions of refugees. He wanted to test the authenticity of the rumor.
When Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and the others heard Fang Xuanling's question, they looked at Jun Ruyu anxiously.
Jun Ruyu smiled faintly when she heard Fang Xuanling's words.
"The timing I mentioned is the answer!”
Then, he walked out directly. Li Shi Min and the others saw this and quickly followed.
After leaving the wooden house and walking into the courtyard, he saw Jun Ruyu squatting down and pulling the plant that Li Shiming and the others didn't recognize. Then, he saw that there were many gray oval-shaped objects below the plant.
"This is?" Li Shi Min quickly said.
Jun Ruyu said," It's called a potato. When you came here a few days ago, it wasn't ripe yet. Today, the stem has withered and can be eaten."”
"Are you saying that this is food?" Fang Xuanling quickly stepped forward and grabbed a few potatoes.
"It can be boiled or roasted. It's enough to fill one's stomach!" Jun Ruyu said.”
"What about the harvest?" Wei Zheng, who was at the side, also asked hurriedly.
"Thirty dan per mu!"
Shua!
Hearing Jun Ruyu's words, not only was Wei Zheng stunned, Fang Xuanling was also stunned. Even Li Shimin and the boorish Yuchi Gong were stunned!
"Thirty dan per mu! This…this…"
Li Shi Min was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble.
In the Tang Dynasty, a stone was equivalent to 53 kilograms. In other words, 30 stones was more than 1,500 kilograms!
During the current period of low productivity in the Tang Dynasty, the yield of rice and wheat per mu was only 100 kilograms. This represented a yield of 15 times!
With these potatoes, he would not have to worry about food anymore.
"What about the maturity time?"
Li Shi Min suddenly realized a problem and quickly asked.
It would be fine if it was only once a year, but if it was once every two or even three years, it would not be able to relieve the immediate fire.
Jun Ruyu knew what Li Shiming was worried about. He smiled and said,""In warm areas, such as Jiangnan and other places, it is a conservative estimate to harvest twice a year. If the temperature is suitable, it may not even be three times! Moreover, potatoes did not have strict requirements for the growing environment. Even if the soil was barren, they could still bear fruit. It was just that they were a little smaller.”
Hearing Jun Ruyu's words, Li Shiming was so excited that his eyes turned red.
For the sake of the people of the Great Tang, he had not been able to sleep for many days.
Today, there was finally a solution.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Mr. Jade has descended from the heavens to bring prosperity to the Great Tang!”Fang Xuanling had completely put down his prejudice against Jun Ruyu and said.
"So it's His Majesty of the Great Tang. Ru Yu greets His Majesty!”
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Jun Ruyu knew that she couldn't pretend that she didn't know Li Shiming, so she saw him bow.
Li Shi Min quickly walked over to Jun Ru Yu and helped her up."Sir, you saved the millions of people of the Great Tang. I should thank you on behalf of the people! Please accept my bow!"
