Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 198 The Shock of the World Map
Wang Pingan looked at Li Er and said in his heart: "As expected of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the questions he asked were all focused on the key points."

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is currently a powerful country in Europe and Africa. Rome in Europe and Egypt in Africa are very tyrannical. This is the place where the master of the family teacher has personally been. As for North America and Africa South America is currently an unruled land, and they also have people, but they are mainly tribes, we can call them savages."

"Tell me, how confident can we be in occupying South America and North America when we send troops to the Tang Dynasty now?" Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty, with the current ship technology of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that as many soldiers and horses as your Majesty sends, you will lose as many soldiers and horses as you can, and there will be no survivors." Wang Pingan said solemnly.

"Ten deaths lead to no life, ten deaths lead to no life..." Li Er muttered to himself.

Wang Pingan looked at Li Er as if in a daze, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the sea route must be dead to us now, but the land route still has a chance."

Li Er suddenly woke up, and quickly asked: "Where, how to get there?"

Wang Pingan pointed to the map again and said: "Here, the imperial court sent masters to start from Chang'an, go all the way north, and go to North America by detour from Arctic Continent, but there is a narrow escape from death there. Let alone the cold in Arctic Continent, it is not something ordinary people can bear. There is a kind of fierce beast called polar bear, he is taller and stronger than ordinary black bears, and his whole body is white, if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to find it."

"I see, you can continue." Li Er fell into deep thought.

Seeing Li Er like this, he knew that Li Er would definitely not give up this opportunity, no matter what, he would give it a try.So he shook his head helplessly and continued to look at the drawings.

Suddenly he thought of the food in North America, there are many, many: "Your Majesty, if, my minister said if, if you send people to North America, you must bring some food there to Datang, they don't have to bring anything, Be sure to bring these kinds of food."

"What food?" Li Er asked

"There is a kind of potato, which is the food that can save the world from hunger..."

"What, boy, what you say is serious." At this time, not only Li Er was excited, Cheng Yaojin was the first to ask excitedly.

Not only Li Er and Cheng Yaojin, but all the ministers present looked at Wang Pingan with excited expressions. The food that freed the world from hunger exploded in everyone's hearts like a heavy bomb exploded.

Wang Pingan could see everyone's excitement, especially Cheng Yaojin was trying to control his trembling body, and said: "Of course it is true, and I have seen that there are several on Master, all of which were given to me. , and also told me the method of planting and the yield. Do you know how many potatoes can be produced per mu?"

"Snapped!"

"it hurts."

Seeing Wang Ping'an pretending to be mysterious, Li Er, who was just hearing the key point, suddenly lost his temper. He reached out and touched Wang Ping's head, and glared at him viciously, meaning to say: "Don't be a fool for me!" ,Say it."

Wang Pingan rubbed his head, looked at Li Er aggrievedly and said: "Master said, he has experimented in South America, and one mu of land can produce at least [-] shi, and at most [-] shi."

What, at least [-] shi per mu, and at most [-] shi, suddenly, everyone became uneasy. You must know that although the current Tang Dynasty is much richer than it was in the Sui Dynasty, not everyone can have enough to eat.

If there are potatoes that can produce [-] shi or [-] shi per mu, the Tang Dynasty can be grown, and no people will think that they will die of hunger, and they will become the best emperor in history, and they will be close to Yao and Shun.Li Ermei thought happily.

"Where are the potatoes that your master gave you now?" Changsun Wuji was more sober and asked the point.

Only then did Li Er and other ministers realize that, that's right, didn't Wang Pingan say that Xiaoyaozi gave him some potatoes? Where did the potatoes go?

Wang Pingan thought for a while, and finally said with a disappointed face: "No more, I carried it with me, but for some reason, I fell into the water, not only lost my memory, but also lost almost everything on my body, probably washed away by the river. Are you leaving?"

What, gone, washed away by the river?Everyone became restless for a moment.

Changsun Wuji stood up first, and said: "I have this report. On the river where General Feihu's accident happened, a large number of corpses and a broken boat were found. According to investigations, it was caused by water bandits. It is still in the water. Under investigation."

Li Er snorted, "Investigate, it's been more than half a year and still investigating, who is investigating?"

"The governor of Yangzhou, Yangpu."

"Waste, twenty shi per mu of grain was washed away by the river. He could not absolve himself of the blame. The poor control of Yangpu led to water bandits in Yangzhou, and the twenty shi shi of grain per mu was washed away by the water. It is an unforgivable crime, so he can be escorted to Dali Temple, and the minister of Dali Temple will try the case." Li Er said angrily.

Anyone would be angry at this, like I won a lottery ticket worth [-] million yuan, and I happily went home to get it, but who knows that the lottery ticket is gone, can you not be angry, not angry.So Yang Pu could only be taken advantage of once.

In this regard, no one pleaded for Yang Pu, even if the relationship with Yang Pu was good, the court ministers did not have the courage to plead for him, whoever pleads, he is against the people of the whole world, and the most important thing is to bear Li Er's punishment anger.

Li Er took a few breaths and said, "You can tell me what food you have left. Even if you don't go now, the Tang Dynasty's flag will definitely be planted on that land in the future."

"Your Majesty is right, I think so too, our flag of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be planted on that land." Wang Pingan said solemnly.

Next, Wang Pingan told Li Er about corn, peanuts, tomatoes and other foods. The more Li Er and the ministers heard it, the more they felt incredible.Unexpectedly, there is such a continent opposite our Tang Dynasty, a continent full of treasures.

Wang Ping'an's explanation made Li Er, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs so excited. The ministers who originally wanted to prevent Li Er from sending people to North America were surprisingly quiet after hearing Tudou.

After Wang Ping'an explained the world map, eunuch Li Erpang carefully collected the world map, then walked slowly back to the dragon chair and sat down.

He solemnly said: "Dear dear ministers, what happened in the courtroom today can only be kept in mind, and should not be spread indiscriminately. Violators will be punished as treason."

"Your Majesty is wise, and I will obey the order." All the ministers knelt down and shouted together, and Wang Ping'an followed suit.

They all understand that the world map is too shocking, not everyone accepts it, and not everyone believes that there is such a place.Only after Li Er sent people there, and got potatoes, corn and other grains, would it be possible to announce it.
