Chapter 927 The great hero, for the country and the people, brothers, I
Chapter 927 A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. Brothers, let’s shout together (please subscribe and vote)
Li Dejiang listened to the excited discussions of a group of brothers, stroking his short beard and trying hard to control his emotions.
"Everyone, brothers, let's not be too happy. On the surface, Lin Yiguo is very respectful to our Tang Dynasty.
However, many forces in the country have always been hostile to the Tang Dynasty, and border conflicts will occur from time to time."
"We relied on Shopkeeper Mo's friendship to enter the territory of Linyi Kingdom.
Even if we get Linyi rice seeds, we don’t know how to cultivate Linyi rice seeds, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?”
As soon as Li Dejiao said this, all the Tang Dynasty Rangers who were originally excited couldn't help but quiet down and looked at each other.
Shopkeeper Mo looked at Li Dejiao and rolled his eyes. "Master Li, there is actually nothing we can do about it. These Linyi people are the most greedy."
"As long as we provide enough benefits, maybe we can select some Han people who know how to plant and leave with the rice seeds."
Li Dejiang's eyes lit up and he looked at Shopkeeper Mo. "You mean, those Han people we met outside the city?"
"Exactly, it's just that the current king of Linyi has strictly ordered trade with the Tang people, but now we are only on the line with the leaders in the city.
If you want to take the peasants away, you must obtain the consent of their city lord..."
"I'm afraid I have to spend a lot of money to take it away."
"..." As soon as these words came out, if you have money, you will spend it. If you don't have money, you will... well, the knights of the Tang Dynasty who drew their swords to help when they saw injustice were instantly confused.
"Do we still have money?" A ranger wiped his face and looked at the brothers on the left and right.
The brothers around me laughed and laughed. "If you have money, little brother, I will have it. If you don't have money, little brother, can I have it?"
"Damn it..." A ranger with a thick beard patted the table.
"How about we get a vote in the city?"
"We have obtained the property, and we use it to bribe the city lord and try to take away the Han farmers and rice seeds..."
#####
The sweat on Shopkeeper Mo's face suddenly fell down. "Heroes, you can't do anything. This city is not big."
"The accents of the heroes are not from the locals. It would be terrible if the accent is exposed."
"Besides, the rich ones are the city lord and two or three leaders. If we go and rob their property, we can use it to bribe them later."
"Moreover, what kind of fortune can these leaders and city lords of Linyi have? Most of their wealth consists of slaves and rice."
"Just like that Qiangba-head man, his family's wealth is probably not as good as that of a landlord in an ordinary county in Datang."
Shopkeeper Mo's words once again demoralized all the knights of the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Tunhu also looked troubled. "This is also one of the largest cities in Linyi. When I visited, there were many patrolling soldiers outside the city."
"As for the city, there are more than two thousand troops stationed there. It would be easy for us brothers to bring one or two farmers and rice seeds with them."
"But why are those farmers willing to abandon their families and children and leave with us?"
"Don't you see that the Qiangba leader, for the sake of Shopkeeper Mo, is very polite to us?"
"Actually, there are quite a few Linyi soldiers outside this inn. Maybe they are also suspicious of our identity."
"It's okay if you don't do anything. If something happens..."
A group of knights from the Tang Dynasty talked about it, but they couldn't find a good way to deal with it.
After all, this is within the territory of Linyi Kingdom, and it is not far from Linyi Kingdom.
The leader of the Linyi Kingdom only allowed the cultivation of various Linyi rice in the plains around the capital and further south.
Is it because they also have a certain degree of vigilance, fearing that this kind of rice seed will be taken away by the Tang Dynasty people.
Even their defenses looked like a sieve in the eyes of the Rangers of the Tang Dynasty.
However, it is not a problem to leave with a small amount of rice seeds, but if you want to promote them in a short period of time and try planting them in the Jiaozhi area.
What is needed is not just a small quantity of rice seeds, but also veterans who are familiar with this kind of rice cultivation.
After all, when they came all the way south, they considered on the way how to maximize the momentum for their own group of heroes.
That is to make achievements, not just to go back to Chang'an and present rice seeds.
If they returned to the Tang Dynasty after obtaining the rice seeds, and with his status as Li Dejiang, they would find local officials to promote the trial planting, and it would not be difficult.
As long as there are examples that this kind of rice can be promoted in Tang Dynasty, we can return to Chang'an.
The credit achieved is completely different from just donating rice seeds.
Moreover, on their way south, Li Dejiao had already visited the governor of the Annan Protectorate, who was a subordinate brought here by his biological father Li Jing.
Therefore, if you want to take the rice seeds to the original Jiaozhi and try it in the current Annan Protectorate, it is only a matter of words from the Governor of the Protectorate.
But the biggest problem now is how to take away the rice seeds and farmers together.
Li Dejiao raised his hand to signal the brothers to be quiet. He waited until there was no more chatter in the room before speaking.
"Brothers, don't be anxious. We have spent several months and now we have arrived at the border of Linyi. The rice seeds are right in front of us."
"We have reached this point and we must not give up halfway."
"So, let's see if we can think of a way first. If it doesn't work, we will return to the division and rush back to the Annan Governor's Mansion."
"Brother Yu, I will personally go to the governor to make a statement and ask him to try to help me."
Shopkeeper Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Dejiao's words. Fortunately, there was finally a calm person with brains among these rangers.
"This is a solution. The Annan Governor's Mansion is far away from us, and it only takes more than a month to come and go."
"So much back and forth, alas..." A ranger couldn't help but sighed in frustration.
Li Dejiang glanced at this brother. "Brother Du, don't forget... A great hero serves the country and the people."
"We have gone through all kinds of hardships, not for ourselves, but to let the world know about our brothers' heroic spirit and courage..."
Following Li Dejiao's impassioned words, a group of Rangers of the Tang Dynasty who had seemed a little depressed couldn't help but feel heroic again.
The ranger and thief who just looked depressed even bowed respectfully to Li Dezhai with a look of shame on his face.
"Thank you, big brother, for your explanation. Just now, my little brother has thought differently. How can our personal safety be more important than the important thing that can prevent all the people of the Tang Dynasty from suffering from hunger?"
"Yes, the great chivalrous man serves the country and the people. Come on, brothers, let's shout together."
Shopkeeper Mo looked at the Tang Dynasty Rangers with a dark expression as they eliminated the strong and the weak along the way and killed without batting an eye.
