The whole family is a bit irritable and will beat you to death at every turn, and they never worry about the issue of heirs. It’s like the Li family breeds like fish, giving birth to a litter of thousands or even thousands without worrying about having no offspring.
Li Qinzai knew that he was not talking nonsense. If the new grain was finally confirmed to be true, and Datang decisively planted and promoted it, it would be a great blessing for the people to survive, and it would also be a great achievement for the Li family.
Seriously speaking, this achievement is greater than the expansion of territory and has a longer-lasting impact.
As long as the Li family does not commit suicide and keeps a close eye on the hidden version of the rebel Li Jingye, the Li family will basically be respected by emperors of all generations. Even if the most unsatisfactory playboy and prodigal son comes out of the family, the emperors will treat him politely. He will receive various benefits until his death.
If someone of a certain generation encounters a genetic mutation, it is not impossible to become a king.
What happened was very simple, and Li Qinzai finished it in just a few words.
Then the three people in the study fell into silence for a long time.
Li Qinzai looked at the furnishings in the study in boredom, leaving enough time for them to digest.
Li Ji and Li Siwen were stunned. Both father and son froze in their movements of stroking their beards. As expected, they were biological children and their movements were exactly the same.
"New grain? Are you sure it's a new grain?" Li Ji's voice trembled slightly. He who once commanded thousands of troops could not help but look pale at this moment.
"Not sure, but it's worth a gamble." Li Qinzai said honestly.
Li Siwen's face no longer looked angry. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "According to you, that Hu Shang named Iduo is cunning and cunning. How can you get this secret out of his mouth? Logically speaking, it's him. You shouldn’t reveal your life-saving chips easily, right?”
Li Qinzai smiled: "Let's give it a try and see if he can withstand various punishments. As long as he doesn't die, there will be hope after all."
Li Ji thought more deeply: "Could it be said that he is the only one in the world who knows the secret of the new grain? It doesn't make sense."
Li Qinzai shook his head: "My grandson understands what grandpa means, but if we want to trace the source of the matter, we must send people to Tocharo to investigate and investigate secretly. It will take a long time, and we may not be able to find out. So the only clue at the moment is It landed on Ido."
Li Ji nodded and said: "No wonder you want to protect him even if you offend Nestorianism. If this person really knows the whereabouts of new grain seeds, then the price of offending Nestorianism is worth it. In order for all living beings in the Tang Dynasty to no longer suffer from hunger, , it doesn’t matter if you go to hell, Qin Zai, you did the right thing!”
After speaking, Li Ji glanced at Li Siwen lightly.
Li Siwen understood the meaning in Li Ji's eyes, and his expression was suddenly startled, but he still said harshly: "Although the thing was done right, the method was still too drastic. You could have discussed it with Yang Shuen, but after taking it out of that Iduo's mouth Secret, just return the traitor to him, why should we turn against him?"
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "My child thinks so too, but they will kill the traitors quickly and they won't even discuss it with me. The knife is already on Iduo's neck. What can I do? I have to save him first."
Li Siwen was stagnant again, trying to find something to find fault with in order to maintain his father's dignity.
Li Ji couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at him, and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for whipping you in front of your children. Why don't you know how to roll down the stairs if I give you a step?"
Li Siwen was stunned and immediately bowed his head and acted obediently.
Li Ji looked at Li Qinzai again and said: "This is a good thing that will benefit the country and the people and benefit the people. Go ahead and do it. If there is any change in Yang Shuen, I will help you carry it. I want to see if the British father's face is better than that of Nestorianism." How about the headmaster?"
Li Qinzai was moved and said: "Thank you very much, Grandpa."
"Bring more instructions when you go back. The other courtyard will be on guard day and night. I'm worried that the Nestorians will jump over the wall and attack and assassinate the other courtyard."
"yes."
Seeing that Li Qinzai looked a little wrong, Li Ji smiled gently and said: "If things don't work out, no one will blame you. This is a gamble. If you win, you will lose. It doesn't matter if you lose. You only have good intentions and indulge in it." Do not surrender to heaven and earth when you are defeated, this is what a man should do."
Li Qinzai smiled: "My grandson, I'll take my leave now. Grandpa and father will take care of you here in Chang'an City."
"Go to hell."
…………
Ganjingzhuang.
Cui Jie and Zi Nu finally got tired of walking around the village for the past two days.
Although Zhuangzi is so big, it is far less prosperous than Chang'an City, so there is nothing interesting to see when walking around.
Li Qinzai was still explaining to the emperor and his family in Chang'an, but Zinu had just woken up from the bed, covered his mouth lazily and yawned, and heard the maids talking in detail outside the house.
Zi Nu blinked and eavesdropped on the chat of the maids through the window.
Just after listening to these two sentences, Zi Nu's expression changed.
The topic of conversation among the maids was not gossip, but about the Hu merchant named Iduo who was locked up in the remote west room in the backyard.
Of course, Zi Nu is very familiar with Iduo, and it was she who saved Iduo's life.
When he heard that Iduo had said something about new grains in desperation to save his life, but after being locked up, no matter how Liu Asi tortured and interrogated him, Iduo still refused to tell the secret, Zi Nu's brow suddenly The wrinkles get tighter.
She and Cui Jie had been having so much fun in the village these past few days, and Zi Nu didn't care about the man's official business, so she had no idea that after she handed Iduo over to Li Qinzai, she could actually cause so much trouble.
What he once said when Iduo was rescued flashed through his mind.
Ido said that he had something, and if he got it, he could be promoted to a noble rank.
No one took his words seriously at first, they just thought he was making up chips to survive.
However, thinking of Li Qinzai's solemn expression as he hurried back to Chang'an City today, Zi Nu had to come to a conclusion.
What this Ido said may be true.
The things he calls promotions and promotions are mostly new grains that have never appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Only new high-yielding grains will promote promotions to those who get them, and will make Li Qinzai pay so much attention to them.
As a Loulan princess, she didn't care about the importance of new grains to the people of the world.
But she cares if her man is in trouble.
Iduo is obviously the trouble Li Qinzai encountered. From the maid's chat, it is obvious that this Iduo refuses to recruit. The whereabouts of the new grain seeds have not been obtained yet, so Li Qinzai must be very anxious.
"A new grain crop? This Hu merchant really doesn't know how to praise..." Zi Nu muttered, frowning.
Opening the door, Zi Nu's pretty face was filled with frost, and she slowly walked towards the room where Iduo was imprisoned.
Protecting him in the past was just a matter of convenience, but since you have caused trouble for my man, I don’t mind switching sides and giving you a taste of the power!
The house where Iduo was imprisoned was located in a remote area of the Li Family Courtyard. The house was very simple.
Liu Asi and several tribesmen stood guard at the door. Seeing Zi Nu arrive, Liu Asi and others bowed and saluted with fists in their hands.
Zi Nu raised his chin: "Open the door, I'll go in and have a few words with Iduo."
