Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

Du Ruhui's cheeks twitched and he smiled wizenedly.

He wanted to remind Li Yi.

Don't make trouble.

Among us upper-class people, who would eat pork?

Aren't you afraid of people laughing at you if you say it?

Only poor people can eat that stuff.

The whole body smells bad, a bad smell.

He couldn't help but remind Li Yi:"Be careful and eat less pork. It's too disgusting, hard to swallow, and bad for your health." The breeding pigs in the Tang Dynasty were not castrated, which caused the pork to have a strong smell and difficult to eat. Swallow down.

Not only that, the pig pens and toilets in the Tang Dynasty were connected, so the pigs often ate feces for a living.

Under such circumstances, if any upper-class family entertains others with pork, they are afraid that the table will be turned over.

Li Yi smiled and ignored Du Ruhui's reminder.

There were some cabbage and okra on the table. Du Ruhui took a few bites, swished them in the hot pot, and ate them happily.

It’s not disgusting at this time either.

Anyway, each bite tastes really good, and Li Yi really listens to it.

Haha, man!

Du Ruhui sighed and said worriedly:"We are eating well now, but the people in Gyeonggi are afraid that they will starve to death soon."

Li Yi knew.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, neither summer nor autumn crops were grown.

And this Little Ice Age lasted for a long time.

Historical records record that the Little Ice Age drastically reduced the population of the Tang Dynasty by millions.

There is no way, there is really a lack of food.

This is not just poor people, but also wealthy families who starved to death in countless numbers.

Li Yi thought for a while and said:"In fact, there is no need to starve to death."

Du Ruhui took a sip of wine and nodded in agreement:"Yes! As long as the court can be cruel and transfer food from Jiangnan Road to Chang'an, the people will starve to death. Maybe a little less."

Li Yi shook his head and said:"Looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst, painting cakes to satisfy hunger, how can distant water satisfy near thirst?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said:"Who says not! The freight cost alone is enough for the Tang Dynasty court to drink a pot. Due to natural and man-made disasters this year, the Tang Dynasty's economy was already in sharp decline. Southwest, Longyou, and Hedong were all recruiting troops to fight. The economy was sluggish, which led to military and political stagnation. There were many battles that the Tang Dynasty did not dare to fight, but could not fight!"

"Don’t you see that the people of Liuzhao did not dare to fight because of the Tang Dynasty, and they have already begun to fight back against Zhang Shigui?"

"Didn't you see, the Tubo people are also preparing to move in the territory of Tuyuhun. Once Tuyuhun, which marches to the west of the Tang Dynasty, is annexed, the Guanzhong Plain will be exposed to Tubo's wolf ambitions in an instant!"

"The Tang Dynasty wanted to protect Tuyuhun, but now it did not dare to send troops to attack. Fighting wars, fighting in the end, all was about the economy!"

I have to say that Lao Du analyzed this national event very clearly.

He was indeed a patriotic old man.

Du Ruhui mocked himself and said:"During the Battle of Changping, the Qin State sent 500,000 troops to besiege the Zhao State. If the King of Zhao trusted Lian Po and allowed Lian Po to remain in command and avoided fighting, and the Qin State was wasted to death, how could the 450,000 surrendered troops of the Zhao State be encircled and killed? Why?"

"King Zhao didn't understand the truth. What we fight in war is the logistics and the national economy! Qin sent 500,000 troops. How much did it cost in one day? King Zhao doesn’t understand this! Sometimes I wonder, why should the Zhao people hate the Qin people? They should hate their useless King Zhao!"

Lao Du seemed to have drank a little too much.

This was getting further and further. He continued:"In the final analysis, it is a waste of money! The same goes for the Tang Dynasty. This time it cost millions to adjust grain from Jiangnan Road. But in this situation, how many times does he have to adjust the food? Who can know? so……"

Du Ruhui seemed to have thought of something.

Then he shook his head crazily, looked at Li Yi blankly, and said uncertainly:"Boy, if I heard you right just now, you seem to have said that there is no need to starve to death in Gyeonggi. What does this mean?"

Li Yi thought ? After thinking for a while, he shook his head lightly and said:"It's nothing. Anyway, I won't starve to death. Just let them deal with the court affairs themselves."

Du Ruhui rolled his eyes and lamented:"Why won't you starve to death, Chang'an?" If there is no food, I will starve to death!"

The old fox deliberately tried to trick Li Yi again.

Li Yidao:"I planted some high-yielding grains. These are cold-resistant. The colder the weather, the faster they grow. The yield is extremely high, even higher than chestnuts, rice, wheat and millet."

Du

Ruhui hiccupped violently. A few wine burps.

Crazy breath in my heart

"Don't make trouble, kid!"

Li Yi looked at him.

Du Ruhui trembled and peed.

"Where? He grabbed Li Yi's hand and said excitedly:"Don't lie to me. Where is the thing?" Where to plant? Take me to see it!"

Uh!

Li Yi pointed to the sky outside and said:"It's so late at night, isn't it good... Hey, Du Weng, what are you doing? Let me go... Ah!"

Li Yi didn't expect that this old man was very energetic.

He lit a candle, pulled Li Yi, and walked out of Li's house as fast as he could.

"Where to go? Take me to see it, quickly!"

Li Yi was helpless.

In the middle of the night, he took Lao Du to the fields.

The light was very weak.

It was still snowing outside.

He had just finished drinking and was trembling with cold.

Li Yi pointed to the rows of symmetrical and even field ridges..On every row of fields, potatoes sprouted green leaves.

"This is it? Du Ruhui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed,"Isn't this just green vegetables... Well, I've never seen this kind of green vegetables!""

But Du Ruhui knew.

These green vegetable leaves, say one thousand or ten thousand, are not enough for people to eat!

He sighed.

Wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, he smiled dejectedly at Li Yi

"Lao Du……"

Li Yi wanted to explain, but found that Lao Du was far away.

The back seems a little desolate.

Li Yi shrugged.

I haven’t even mentioned that the food is not green vegetable leaves!

It's under the soil!

But it doesn’t matter. When we run out of food, I’ll send you some and you won’t be hungry.

Li YiThe hand returned to Li Mansion.

He drank a little too much today, so he went back to the wing and fell asleep.

He completely forgot that there was Li Wan waiting for him in the side room.

I really forgot, otherwise Li Yi would never be a gentleman.

……

In the middle of the night, Di Renjie took a shower.

I have to say, it stinks! It's so smelly that it hurts your eyes!

My whole body was bombarded by pig pens and toilets, and even if I used soap to wash them, I couldn't wash away the smell.

Today we are just feeding pigs.

I am thinking of going to the city department to learn castration techniques in a few days.

Di Renjie has a big head.

What's even more frightening is that it seems that there will be a banquet in a few days.

He passed the Ming Jing A list and passed the second place.

According to the usual practice, the imperial court will hold a Qionglin Banquet in a few days, giving the top three on the list a beautiful and beautiful street.

Hey, this body odor... I wonder if it will be disliked!

Di Renjie was very worried.

He took the bath water, poured it into the courtyard, went up to the second floor alone, leaned on the railing and sighed.

But he found a faint light outside the mansion.

Di Renjie was suddenly startled.

He went out secretly.

I found a middle-aged woman and a young lady watching from a distance in the ice and snow.

After seeing Di Renjie, the two of them hurriedly left like frightened deer.

Di Renjie didn't take it seriously and just waited to inform his mentor about it tomorrow.

Wait for him to return to the compound.

The middle-aged woman and young lady outside the courtyard appeared again.

This time there was another man beside him.

That man was none other than Lin Yun, the former magistrate of Wannian County.

He said to the middle-aged woman:"Remember this place and come here every night to take a look."

"The host’s name is Li Yi, and he is very rich! There are also many food reserves!"

"If you don’t want to starve to death, just do as I say!"

"I checked this Li Yi. He was abandoned here in the second year of Wude."

"It can be said that I haven’t seen my parents since I was born."

"So, from today on, you are her mother!"

Lin Yun pointed at the middle-aged woman and finished speaking.

Then he said to the young lady:"You are the same. From today on, you are his baby's wife."

"Remember everything clearly for me! Understand?"
