"Nonsense!"
Zhangsun Wuji sneered.
"The yield of corn per mu may not be low, but it definitely won't be so exaggerated.”
"The wheat yield is at most 200 catties per mu. The rice harvest in Jiangnan is at most 400 catties per mu.”
"Brat, aren't you afraid of hurting your tongue when you talk big?”
Li Shi Min frowned. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and the others also looked at Li Xian.
It was obvious…
None of them believed it.
"Brat, don't think that we're country bumpkins who haven't seen the world. You can't hide these things from us.”
Cheng Yaojin sneered.
"We have people farming in our own family. How can we not know how much we can produce per mu?”
Yuchi Gong also echoed.
"Kid, I thought you were not bad. Why are you bragging for no reason?”
"Hurry up and tell us the truth."
Li Xian smiled and was too lazy to talk nonsense with them.
"Li Zhong, bring a few distinguished guests to take a look at our family's granary!”
Li Zhong walked in and gestured for Li Shi Min and the others to enter.
"Please follow me."
……
Li Shi Min and the others looked at Li Xian, then at the smiling Li Zhong, and fell into doubt.
Was what Li Xian said true?
It was impossible!
What kind of thing had no pattern?
"Hmph, this old man will go and see for myself and expose your lies.”
Zhangsun Wuji was the first to step forward.
"This old man absolutely doesn't believe that there's a grain yield of two thousand jin per mu in this world.”
Cheng Yaojin also chuckled.
"I don't believe it either. This time, I'll take your side.”
Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, Li Ji, and Fang Xuanling also expressed their support for Zhangsun Wuji.
Li Shi Min also secretly observed Li Xian's reaction.
He wanted to find a trace of panic.
In the end…
What he saw was an impatient face.
"Didn't I tell you to go and see for yourselves? Are you wasting your time?”
Li Xian nibbled on a corn and waved his hand as if he was chasing away a fly.
"Go early and come back early. Don't delay our business.”
Li Shi Min, Zhangsun Wu Ji and the others were speechless. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
People like him, who could not be fawned over by many people, were now despised by Li Xian.
He was really aggrieved.
"Humph!"
Zhangsun Wuji snorted and was the first to rush out, followed by Li Shiming and the others.
Li Zhong led the way to the Li family's granary.
Looking at the number of granaries, Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji and the rest were dumbfounded.
There were 50 large granaries filled to the brim.
From the looks of it, each of them had at least thirty thousand jin of grain.
"All the granaries here were built three years ago to store corn.”
Li Zhong explained with a smile.
"At that time, we didn't believe Young Master and thought that Young Master was a prodigal.”
"But Young Master is the master of the Li family after all. The 300 mu of land is his private property. We have to listen to Young Master's decision.”
"The result…"
Li Zhong could not hide his proud smile.
"Young Master is indeed Young Master. He's more knowledgeable and capable than us.”
"In the first year, we had a bumper harvest of corn. The smallest harvest per mu was 1700 catties, and the largest was 2100 catties.”
"For the next two years, we'll be planting corn.”
"It's funny that those people in the same village still laugh at our young master. He's a prodigal who doesn't know how to live his life and ruined the good fields.”
"You still have to borrow food from us to survive!”
"Haha!"
"Their unconvinced look was exactly the same as the few honored guests. I believe that after you see it later, they will also look the same as when they asked us to borrow food.”
Li Shi Min didn't say anything, but frowned.
Until now, he had no choice but to believe it.
Without so much food, who would have anything better to do? Was it fun to build so many granaries?!
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were completely shocked.
Although they were all generals and brought a lot of grain with them every time they fought, they had never seen so many granaries gathered together.
"If they were all full, it would be two million catties of food.”
Li Jing guessed.
"This esteemed guest has good eyesight. There are indeed 2.3 million grains here.”
Li Zhong replied with a smile.
"If you still have doubts, you can go up and check it yourself.”
Zhangsun Wuji was the first to be unconvinced. He rushed up, climbed up the ladder, and opened a granary.
It was filled with golden corn.
Other than its hardness, it was exactly the same as the corn he had eaten today.
" How is this possible? How is this possible?"
Zhangsun Wuji muttered to himself as he inspected all 50 granaries.
There was no problem. They were all full.
In other words…
There really were 2.3 million catties of corn here.
Li Shiming saw that Zhangsun Wuji had the intention to ask. Zhangsun Wuji smiled bitterly and nodded, indicating that there was no problem at all.
Li Shi Min couldn't wait any longer and ran back to the living room to find Li Xian.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others followed closely behind.
"I am the current emperor!"
Li Shi Min directly revealed his identity and said seriously.
"I have a matter of state to discuss with you.”
"I can buy the corn in your hands at a high price for disaster relief.”
"In addition, I can guarantee that as long as I agree, I will confer you the title of County Marquis and make you a noble of the Great Tang. In addition to your annual salary, I will also give you a thousand mu of permanent farmland and three hundred households!”
"How is it?"
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others had just returned when they heard Li Shiming's words.
He was not surprised at all.
No one understood better than them why His Majesty would do this.
Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims were pouring into Guanzhong. This was a time bomb that could cause chaos at any time. Not only would there be countless casualties, but the entire country would also fall into panic.
It would take another half a month for the disaster relief food in Jiangnan to arrive.
If these disaster victims were left to fend for themselves for half a month, it would really be chaotic.
However, with these 2.3 million catties of corn, the situation was different.
This was not corn, but the key to stabilizing the Great Tang!
Although His Majesty's offer was generous, it was definitely worth it!
Who knew that Li Xian would put on a disgusted expression.
"Your Majesty, you are the Emperor."
Li Xian said.
"Don't always talk about money. It's so tacky!”
