"By making it up?"
Li Eryi looked at Qin Yu in confusion and asked,""What do you mean?"
Qin Yu smiled slightly. Naturally, she would not say that her poems were all copied. Just as she was about to find a random excuse to fool him, a group of people entered.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
This group of people were Li Er's trusted ministers. They were of the same mind and had once fought with him.
Qin Yu shut his mouth while Li Er waved his hand and said,""There's no need to be so polite.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The group of people sat down. Li Er pondered for a moment and said,"It was not my intention to call you here. It is the second step of the locust control and disaster relief that the warehouse manager mentioned. We need your help.”
The group of people looked at Qin Yu in surprise.
Just now, Qin Yu's elegance was already imprinted in their hearts, so they did not dare to underestimate this eight-year-old child.
Now that he heard that everything the Emperor had said was arranged by Qin Yu, he could not help but size it up carefully.
There were two exceptions in this group of people.
One of them was Wei Zheng, who was originally Li Jiancheng's subordinate. However, after Li Er succeeded in the Black Tortoise Sect coup, he still put Wei Zheng in an important position.
Of course, the more he used it, the angrier he got. This Wei Zheng was very stubborn. He would give advice at any time, giving Li Er a headache.
The other was naturally Qin Qiong.
Due to Qin Qiong's health and the fact that he had not participated in the Black Tortoise Sect's change, although he was still the Duke, he was slowly being sidelined by Li Er and left the center of power.
However, Qin Yu appeared out of nowhere and was extremely beautiful. As his uncle, he naturally followed suit.
Li Er had used him again.
While everyone was looking at Qin Yu, Qin Qiong was sighing with emotion, and Cheng Yaojin was baring his teeth.
"The banquet has been a great success," Li Er said slowly."Now, it's time for you to tell me what the second step is."”
Qin Yu did not delay. After pondering for a moment, she said with confidence,""Actually, it's nothing much. I just want a certain general to go to a place to get some rice.”
"Get some rice?"
Qin Yu's words stunned everyone and puzzled them.
"Rice? Where can I get it?"
"You know where there is rice and you can take it away?”
Puzzled voices rang out. It was really Qin Yu's words that made them confused.
Qin Yu was even more puzzled." Your Majesty is the emperor," she said." You are all important officials of the Tang Empire. Don't you know where there is endless rice?"”
This question stumped everyone.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"I've been an official for many years, but I've never heard of any place that has endless rice.”
" I've never heard of it before," Zhangsun Wuji said." If I had known earlier, the people would not have starved."”
"Please speak clearly, Lord Qin."”
Everyone looked at Qin Yu. Qin Yu said matter-of-factly,"Annan, Annan is a neighboring country of the Great Tang. It produces three seasons of rice, but it can't be eaten up and can only rot in the ground.”
"Three-season rice?"
"Rotting in the ground and can't be finished?"
" Yes." Qin Yu nodded and said," The climate there is unique. The rice has three seasons a year." The people there were very lazy. They just casually sprinkled the seeds in the fields and did not care. Even so, the rice could not be eaten up and could only rot in the fields.”
Shock flashed across everyone's faces.
"There's such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Zhangsun Wuji: " Annan is just a small country. I've never paid attention to it before.”
"Where is it that is blessed by the heavens?" Fang Xuanling asked.”
Qin Yu sneered and said,"Work?" What can those monkeys know?"
"Monkey?"
Everyone looked at Qin Yu in confusion.
Qin Yu grinned and said,"They look like humans, but they're just a bunch of monkeys jumping up and down."”
Everyone was speechless.
Qin Yu straightened her expression and said,""To make a long story short, what I mean is actually very simple. I just want to send troops over and bring back some rice. He didn't need money to buy it. As long as he brought the silk, it should be possible to exchange it for three to four thousand catties. Those natives loved the silk of the Great Tang. As long as this batch of rice came back, the disaster relief would be alleviated.”
Qin Yu's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
They were still immersed in shock.
If Qin Yu had not said so, they would not have known that a small place like Annan had so much grain.
A moment later, Li Er nodded slowly and said,"I understand. You want me to send someone to Annan with silk cloth to exchange for rice with the people there.”
Qin Yu lowered her eyes slightly and said,"Not really. If it really doesn't work, we can snatch it by force."”
Li Er was speechless.
He paused for a moment before continuing,"The general who will lead the troops will have to be selected from these few people in front of us to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Yes and no?"
Qin Yu nodded slowly and said," That's right. It's actually not complicated. I just sent some people to bring some things back from Annan in exchange for some rice. That's all."”
"Yes." Li Er stared at Qin Yu and said,"Then who do you think is the most suitable?"”
Hearing this, Qin Yu's gaze lingered on the few generals.
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji…
Cheng Yaojin bared his teeth at Qin Yu and winked at her. His meaning was obvious.
Choose me, choose me…
