Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 669 The New World Discovered in Advance

Zi Nu didn't know how important the new grain was, let alone what significance it would have for generations to come.

She doesn't care about the yield of this kind of grain, how it is grown, and how many times it is harvested in a year.

She only knew that she had helped Li Qinzai and solved Li Qinzai's troubles, and that was enough.

Women, why do you need to get involved in so many major national affairs?A man who can help himself is a good woman.

Zi Nu's idea is so plain and simple.

Outside the other courtyard, the sound of horseshoes stopped, and Guanshi Song rushed out to greet him. Zi Nu stood in the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel happy. She knew that Li Qinzai had rushed back from Chang'an.

So Zi Nu rushed up quickly, came to Li Qinzai one step earlier than Song Guanshi, and threw himself into his arms.

Li Qinzai was thrown back by her bump, and hastily stretched out his arms to hug her.

"With such enthusiasm in broad daylight, can't we wait until dark?" Li Qinzai said pleasantly: "You sleep alone at night, leave a door for me..."

"Fuck you!" Zi Nu pushed him with a blushing face, and then looked shy, proudly raised her little face: "I did something for you today, please praise me!"

"Praise you!" Li Qinzai said without hesitation.

"Seriously, I really did something for you."

"I'm serious, I really praised you just now."

Zi Nu giggled, and happily told the story of how she interrogated Yi Duo just now. She remembered every word Yi Duo said very clearly, without missing a single word.

Following Zi Nu's narration, Li Qinzai's originally smiling face gradually became solemn, and finally his face was full of horror and shock.

"New World, South America..." Li Qinzai muttered to himself in a daze.

"What South America?"

Still immersed in shock, Li Qinzai murmured: "This is only the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that someone has already been to South America? The new grain that Yi Duo mentioned is clearly sweet potatoes..."

"Sweet potato? Is the new grain called sweet potato? You haven't seen it before, so how do you know it's called sweet potato?" Zi Nu asked more and more questions.

Li Qinzai didn't answer her, because he didn't know how to answer.

He has the answer, but it's an answer from a previous life.

The American continent is a continent blessed by God. There are products, fertile land, and a unique and suitable climate. From the perspective of geography, products and climate alone, it has to be admitted that the American continent is indeed much stronger than the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.

The people of Datang need it.

From what Zi Nu relayed, Li Qinzai confirmed that the new grain that Yi Duo mentioned must be sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes were originally introduced to China in the braid dynasty 1000 years later. However, a businessman who hit the road by mistake, and a blundering incident made the wheel of history take a turn.

It appeared on the land of Asia in advance, and was discovered by Li Qinzai, who knew the goods.

Sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. There are many names, and the names in the north and the south are different, but they all refer to the same thing.

After more than 1000 years, whose children have not eaten the baked sweet potatoes on the street?It is not only the taste of childhood, but also a life-saving talisman for the people during the famine.

It is indeed a very productive staple food, and it tastes pretty good.

If one mu of land is treated well, the yield of sweet potatoes can be as high as more than [-] catties, and in the south where the climate is suitable, two crops can be harvested a year.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it can really survive millions of people from generation to generation, so there will be no more famines in the Tang Dynasty, and the population of the country will increase a hundredfold.

The matter of emperors through the ages, in the final analysis, is how to fill the stomachs of the people.

If the people are not hungry, the country will last forever.

If Li Qinzai can help Li Zhi solve this matter, his contribution...is inconceivable.

"Good job!" Li Qinzai suddenly excitedly slapped Zi Nu hard on the face.

The members next to him were stunned, and hurriedly looked away.

Although Zi Nu was a little shy, she was even more delighted and sweet in her heart.

She is a princess from a foreign country, full of exotic amorous feelings all over her body, and she will not be as coy as a Central Plains woman. If she likes it, she likes it. If she likes to be kissed by him, she just likes to be kissed by him. care.

"Adding hard dishes to you tonight is not enough to reward you. How about you eat me as a dish tonight?" Li Qinzai winked at her.

"Bah! I don't want to eat it, stinky man!" Zi Nu happily refused.

Immediately Zi Nu asked happily: "Can the result of my question help you?"

"Of course it can help me. Now I'm sure. If there really is a new grain, Yi Duo explained it in detail. It's not just fabricated out of thin air. I finally let go of half of my hanging heart." Li Qinzai said happily.

It was originally regarded as a big gamble, but now Li Qinzai found that his chances of winning were getting bigger and bigger.

Zi Nu also smiled: "It's good if I can help you. If you can find new grains in the end, ask your emperor to give you a high official title."

Li Qinzai laughed twice, and then said, "Yiduo still won't tell me about the whereabouts of the new grain?"

Zi Nu suddenly said dejectedly: "He refuses to say whether he lives or dies. I guess it's his secret to save his life. It's useless to torture him. This man is obviously a cowardly person who fears death. I don't know why he has so much backbone."

Li Qinzai also said worryingly: "The only bargaining chip should not be handed over easily, otherwise your life will be lost. People who are greedy for life and afraid of death will probably grit their teeth and persevere."

Zi Nu looked at him and said, "Did you get into trouble because of Yi Duo when you went to Chang'an?"

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, and it's not a small trouble. I think Nestorian will take revenge soon."

Zi Nu thought deeply: "So, the key to solving this trouble is to find the whereabouts of the new grain?"

"Yes, but Yi Duo refused to say, and I can't really kill him. Who knows where he hid the new grain..."

Zi Nu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I rescued Yi Duo from Tocharo. When I rescued him, the new grain should be on him. I escorted him all the way from Tocharo to Chang'an. Sleeping in the wind..."

"The only possibility is that one day when Yiduo camped out, he left the new grain seeds in a secret place while we were not paying attention. If I return from the original road, I will use my memory to search every place where I used to camp. Where..."

Li Qinzai's eyes lit up, then he smiled wryly and shook his head: "This is like finding a needle in a haystack, you can't count on it."

Zi Nu was silent for a long time, then nodded hesitantly.

…………

That night, Li Qinzai finally had a solid sleep.

Facts have proved that the sweet potato does exist, and it has appeared on the Asian continent, Li Qinzai's mood relaxed a lot.

With hope and goal, even if he got nothing from Yi Duo this time, Li Qinzai has other ways, which are nothing more than spending more time and money.

In this life, there is finally a way to introduce sweet potatoes to the Tang Dynasty and plant them widely. In the next few decades, there will be a day of success.

Of course, the most worry-free and hassle-free way is to find its whereabouts directly from Yiduo, in one step.

Early the next morning, Li Qinzai was about to meet Yi Duo in person and try to find out the whereabouts of Sweet Potato, but Cui Jie hurried over to tell him some news.

Zi Nu disappeared, and with her ten or so entourages, she left the other courtyard before dawn and disappeared without a trace.
