If someone could bring the potatoes that Yunchu coveted, Yunchu would definitely be willing to pay a thousand dollars to buy them.
If someone could get the chili pepper that Yunchu coveted, Yunchu would definitely be willing to pay a thousand dollars to buy it.
If someone could bring the corn and sweet potatoes that Yun Chu had dreamed of, Yun Chu would definitely be willing to pay a thousand gu to buy them.
If one thousand dollars is not enough, you can continue to negotiate until the seller is satisfied.
If the seller is unwilling to sell, no matter who the seller is, Yunchu will be ready to kill and steal the goods.
If the seller is a country or an ethnic group, then wait until Yunchu comes to the door with his army in person and accept the consequences of the subjugation of the country and the annihilation of the clan.
In other words, for these few things, Yun Chu is willing to get them at all costs.
With these things, Yunchu believed that with the current power of the Tang Dynasty, there would never be any starvation to death and there would even be no starvation.
Unfortunately, these things are now in South America, controlled by a group of people who believe in the sun god and like to sacrifice human beings.
To get there, you need a fleet, and the current situation of Datang's navy cannot even go to the sea outside Silla, let alone cross the entire ocean.
At this time, even if a fleet were sent to search for South America according to the map drawn by Yunchu, it would probably end in annihilation. The hope of obtaining those crops would be even slimmer than when Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the East China Sea to search for the elixir of immortality.
The reason why Yun Chu was concerned about such a remote thing was because he found a lot of homeless people wandering the sea in the Sifang Pavilion.
There are not many other things in the Pacific, but there are many islands. Those sea refugees now use the islands as springboards to explore the depths of the Pacific one island at a time.
Yunchu imagined that these people might have arrived in South America and obtained high-yielding crops such as potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers, and pumpkins, but they didn't know how precious these things were...
In order to make everyone pay attention to it, Yunchu planned to call these things after the old gods on the sign as unparalleled elixirs. If you eat them, you can live forever!
Before writing like this, it is natural to seek the opinions of the old gods first.
The old immortal who returned from practicing cultivation in Zhongnan Mountain was very energetic, especially his eyes, which were piercingly bright.
After listening to Yun Chu's story, the old immortal spit on Yun Chu's face. Judging from the amount of saliva, the old immortal was eloquent and could live for a long, long time.
"Immortal? I'll beat you immortal to death!"
After the old god spat on Yun Chu's face, he picked up the medicine hoe and began to chase Yun Chu all over the world.
Yun Chu didn't dare to run fast, fearing that he would tire the old man, so he endured a few rounds of medicine and hoeing and then said quickly: "Listen to my disciple."
"The old Taoist won't listen to your crooked talk today. He just wants to hoe you to death to prevent your poison from causing harm to the world.
"If the disciple said that with these things, people in the world will no longer have to worry about hunger, wouldn't you be able to beat them less?"
"That's nonsense. There are countless kinds of crops in the world. For thousands of years, I have never heard of a single crop that can feed all the people. Come, come, come, don't run away, or let the experts hoe you to death."
"Oh my, my disciple has cultivated a vegetable that can produce thousands of kilograms per acre of land. This is already a fact. Why don't you believe that there are still thousands of kilograms of grain produced per acre in this world?"
"Then you can't use immortality to deceive the world, and you can't use the reputation of being an expert to deceive the world.
Do you know that once people in the world think this is true, they will travel across mountains and rivers to search for it, and there will be many casualties and injuries, but in the end they will not be able to live forever, wouldn’t it mean that they have deceived the world?”
At this time, Yun Chu, who was rough-skinned and fleshy, was holding the hoe that the old god had smashed down like raindrops. He chuckled and said: "If this thing is really found, the world will no longer have to worry about hunger. How many people will die?"
"If I beat you to death, it doesn't matter if you kill a few people. When I saw you earlier, I thought you were a good official who loved the people wholeheartedly. Now that you are an official, you have a dark heart. You can even say things like killing a few people is nothing...
…”
Prince Ji Li Shen stood under the eaves holding a teapot, smiling as he watched the old immortal hit Yun Chu with a medicinal hoe, without any intention of admonishing him.
He also felt that Yun Chu had been used to lying to others for a long time. To tell such a big lie this time was really unworthy of him.
At the same time, he also believed that Yun Chu had deceived the wrong person. If he told the emperor's brother about immortality, Li Shen would not think that Yun Chu was despicable. After all, as long as he is the emperor, who doesn't want to live forever?
The old god finally got tired of beating him, and several bumps appeared on Yunchu's head. Seeing that the old god was out of breath, he helped the old god sit down and prepared to tell the origin of this incident from beginning to end.
Before Yunchu could speak, the old god said decisively: "There is no immortal person in this world, not one. Even those so-called people from our Taoist sect who have sat in the flesh and ascended to heaven after fighting are all dead, and
He is no longer an immortal.
Taoist cultivators cultivate Taoism in this life. What they cultivate is the great freedom with a pure heart and few desires. What they cultivate is a natural process that decays with the grass and trees.
It is not about immortality, but about exploring towards immortality.
Only people who are obsessed with evil would think of becoming immortals and Buddhas by relying on pills and other external objects. That is a heretical way of thinking."
This means that there is no room for negotiation. The old god can tolerate ordinary people using his name to earn a few more pennies, support one or two more children, and live a better life, but he will never tolerate Yun Chu taking his name.
His name goes to tell the world that there are people in this world who can live forever.
No matter what, it doesn't work.
Yun Chu, who was covered in bruises, was kicked out of Prince Ji's Mansion by the old god, who also warned him sternly that if Yun Chu dared to use the words "immortality" to confuse people's hearts, he would not hesitate to clean up the family himself.
Back home, Yu Xiurong looked at Yun Chu's head full of bags and couldn't help crying: "What are you doing to anger the old god?"
Yunchu sighed and said: "Because I suddenly discovered that I am a person who is desperate to achieve my goals and has no basic moral standards.
The old god's hoeing today at least made me understand that I can't do anything without a bottom line. If I don't have a bottom line in doing things, then when others deal with me, they will attack me regardless of the bottom line."
Yu Xiurong said: "Those things are that important to you?"
Yun Chu said: "If necessary, it is possible to exchange my life for it."
Yun Chu's casual words made Yu Xiurong's heart skip a beat. This was the first time she heard her husband say that he would risk his life for something.
My head was smashed a lot, but there was no good way to do it. I could only wait for the fluid in the blood bags to be slowly absorbed by the body.
Fortunately, his hair is very long, and with the headband on, basically no one can tell that he has been severely beaten.
Since the old god couldn't do it and couldn't do it, Yunchu simply wrote down the benefits of these things clearly and clearly, and at the same time remarked the price to the appropriate number of ten thousand guan.
And at the bottom, a guarantee was made in the name of the Lantian Marquis Mansion, and he swore to tell everyone that as long as the things were brought and verified to be alive and ready for planting, the Lantian Marquis Mansion would pay 10,000 gu to purchase them.
After Di Renjie learned that Yunchu had done this, he felt that he was somewhat reckless. If other tribes or countries got these things first, it would be very detrimental to the Tang Dynasty.
Yunchu replied: "No matter who gets it, this thing will eventually become the property of the Tang Dynasty, so we are not afraid of outsiders getting it."
Maybe Di Renjie had hidden this matter in his heart for a long time. Seeing that there were only two of them in the official office, he whispered: "How do you know that these things exist in the world, and also know where to find them?"
Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie for a long time and then said, "I have had some experiences that are so miraculous that I can't describe them..."
When Di Renjie saw what Yunchu said, he immediately changed the subject and said, "I heard that the cabbage you commissioned Dr. Sinong Temple to grow was harvested before last winter. Were there really five or six kilograms of cabbage?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "It took a total of five years. All the cabbages saved before last winter had their seeds. Those cabbages were not annual cabbages, but biennial cabbages.
Whether it can be successful or not depends on whether the cabbage grown from seeds can weigh five or six pounds after this summer's harvest before frost. If this goal is achieved, I can take the cabbage to His Majesty and ask for what I need."
Di Renjie smiled and said: "I'm afraid this county magistrate is the only one in the world who would think of improving crops to enrich the people.
Nowadays, the agricultural doctors at Sinong Temple have been driven crazy by the money you are throwing away, and they have begun to try the hybridization you mentioned. I also heard that some people have started to cross camels with cattle, hoping to produce a kind of
Something new that combines the endurance of a camel with the benefits of an ox.
Don’t you think it’s strange or angry when others call you a “hybrid” magistrate?”
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I'm not angry, I just hope they can continue the experiment for a long time.
As far as I know, the cross between a tiger and a lion can give birth to a liger, and the cross between a donkey and a horse can give birth to a mule. Then what if the cross between a camel and a cow produces an animal that can withstand rough feeding, is strong, and is docile?
What's wrong with coming out?
Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. Just look for other things to crossbreed. In a word, it is serious to come up with good things that are more suitable for people to raise and grow.
Of course, as long as you don’t use it on other people and don’t damage human relations, I think it’s a good thing.”
Di Renjie was silent for a long time, and finally said to Yun Chu: "Are you sure that all the things you asked me to draw according to the appearance you described actually exist?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Not only have I seen it, but I've also eaten it. It tastes very good..."
Di Renjie smiled and said: "Then, I will publish these things into a book, and the book will be called "Strategies for Enriching the Country"."
