Exchanging Items to Save 300,000 Citizens!
After persuading the butler to leave, Li Ke called He Chenglin over and asked him to call Cao Qian, the government official of Yizhou, over.
Although it was almost midnight, Qian Buduo did not dare to hesitate and hurried over when he learned that the King of Shu had summoned him.
Once inside the side hall, Qian Buduo saw Li Ke sitting on the main seat with a cold face.
When he saw Li Ke's unfriendly expression, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly bowed to Li Ke."Greetings, Your Highness. Your Highness is a thousand years old!”
Li Ke glanced at Qian Buduo and said indifferently,"This Prince heard that the people of the Yang Family Village grow tea leaves, not rice.”
"This... it's, it's like this!" Qian Buduo didn't dare to hide it and nodded repeatedly.
"Then where else did this happen? Instead of farming and mulberry, he was planting tea leaves that were useless?”Li Ke asked again.
"This…this…"
Under Li Ke's gaze, Qian Buduo felt as if Li Ke's eyes were like knives, pressing against his heart. This made him break out in cold sweat and his face instantly turned pale.
"Raise your head!"
Li Ke suddenly shouted,"Look into this king's eyes and speak!"”
Qian Buduo's body trembled when he heard that. He subconsciously raised his head and saw that incomparably dignified and incomparably cold gaze.
" This kind of thing... in... in... in the entire Yizhou, 90% of the villages... are... are happening..."
Qian Buduo didn't dare to hide anything. Even though he knew that if he said this, he would probably die because of Li Ke's anger, he didn't dare to lie.
Because he knew that if he dared to hide it from Li Ke, he would end up like Member Yang, who had been cut 108 times!
Bang!
Qian Buduo had just finished speaking when he heard a bang. This made his legs go weak and he directly knelt down.
"Your Highness, please spare my life. This…this has nothing to do with me. It's all that member Yang's doing.”
Qian Buduo begged for mercy. His head touched the ground and he didn't dare to raise his head for a long time.
His entire body trembled, and his face was as pale as paper.
Li Ke didn't say anything. The entire room instantly fell silent. However, the quieter it was, the colder Qian Buduo's heart became.
He only felt as if there were two butcher knives circling his back. If he made a slight mistake, his head would fall to the ground.
After waiting for an unknown period of time, Qian Buduo's entire body went weak and he was about to lie on the ground in fear. Only then did he hear Li Ke's voice ring out again.
"Why didn't you report this to me the last time?”
"I, I am…"
"Forget it!"
Before Qian Buduo could finish, Li Ke waved his hand and said,"There's no point in saying that now. You have a lot of money. Remember, half of your head doesn't belong to you anymore. If this king finds out that you're hiding something from this king, this king will not forgive you!”
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you for sparing my life!"
Qian Buduo hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
"Humph! I'll punish you with three years of salary and demote you by one rank. Get lost!”Li Ke waved his hand and said with disdain.
"Yes, yes. I'll get lost now. I'll leave now…"
Qian Quite a Few quickly stood up and ran away.
Li Ke disdainfully glanced at Qian Buduo's flustered back and coldly snorted,""If Mr. Chu didn't say that you were useful, I would have skinned you today!”
Li Ke let out a long breath and immediately stood up. After instructing the servants to properly entertain the commoners, he directly returned to his room.
After locking the door and confirming that no one would come looking for him at this time, Li Ke entered his consciousness into the system.
At this moment, in the system store.
Li Ke did not look at the dazzling array of goods. Instead, he stared at one item as soon as he entered the mall.
This item was what Li Ke needed the most at the moment, and it was also what these poor people needed the most.
He clicked on the item and the introduction of the item appeared.
[Grain Seed Gift Pack: The gift pack contains five tons of potato, sweet potato, and hybrid rice seeds. The system will change the growth cycle of the seeds according to the planting area and adapt to the weather and environment of the planting area!] After the seeds were grown and planted, they would not have this function!
[Required Reputation Points: 9999]
"As expected, the system will always be the system. It's so refreshing to use a cheat!”
Li Ke's eyes were filled with passion when he saw the introduction of the seed gift bag.
It was already May, but almost all the people's fields were planted with inedible tea leaves. Even if they plucked all the tea leaves and replanted crops, it was already past the best season, so there would be no harvest at all.
However, with the system seed, everything would be different.
The system could change the growth cycle according to the changes in the weather. In this way, even if these seeds missed the best time, they could still be harvested in autumn.
This was a joyous occasion for the current Yizhou.
After all, even the Grand Governor's Office had run out of food!
Moreover, the crops provided by the system, whether it was potatoes, sweet potatoes, or hybrid rice, their yield per mu was far higher than the crops of this period.
When the autumn harvest came, Li Ke believed that not only would Yizhou not be short of food, but it would also be hoarded in large quantities. It would be enough even after five or six years.
Thinking of this, Li Ke did not hesitate at all and directly clicked the exchange button.
Then, he heard the system's voice.
[Ding-dong. The host has obtained a grain seed gift bag. The gift bag requires a venue. The host can retrieve the gift bag when he arrives at a suitable venue!]”
Hearing the system's voice, Li Ke's originally nervous heart finally relaxed.
Food was the most important thing to the people. Without food, people would starve to death. Without food, it would lead to looting and competition, and gradually, it would lead to social unrest!
If there was no food in Yizhou, Li Ke could already imagine what would happen to the 300,000 people in Yizhou when winter came. It would be a blessing if there were only 100,000 people left after winter!
Now, these things could finally be avoided.
Of course, this grain was of great importance, and Li Ke had other plans. He would think of ways to let the people grow grain, but he would not tell anyone about the production of grain.
He only needed to know about these things.
After doing all this, Li Ke finally calmed down and rested. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.
Li Ke sent someone to deliver an order to Chu Suiliang. After that, he led Xue Rengui, 300 prefecture soldiers, and dozens of Yang Family villagers out of Yizhou City.
