Chapter 62: Creating a New Era(2/2)
Potatoes are both food and vegetables. Although it may be a bit painful to eat them as food all day long, it can at least ensure that people will not starve to death.
And once the corn seeds from Central America are brought back...
On the earth, the population has been at most about 80 million for all dynasties. Why did it increase to 400 million by the end of the Qing Dynasty? The biggest reason is that corn and potatoes appeared, and everyone has food to eat...
The yield per mu of corn is estimated to be only a dozen stones, which is much less than potatoes, but it is real grain. When Li Ye was on earth, he was a peasant's child. When he was a child, he ate corn rice very much, commonly known as corn rice.
To be honest, corn rice is much more fragrant than rice rice, and rural elderly people are particularly used to it and like to eat it.
But to be honest, the taste of corn rice is relatively rough, not as soft and delicate as rice rice, and it was gradually eliminated later.
Now there is no need to worry about taste. With corn, there will be no one who will go hungry in the Tang Dynasty. If you cook with potatoes... Haha, let's go and practice.
Li Zhen is gone.
When I left, my face was full of redness and my heroic spirit was overwhelming.
It seems that the Craftsman Branch of Chang'an Xiuxing Academy, or Baigong Branch, should become the most important branch.
Li Ye thought about it himself: organizing dozens of real-life monks and matching the map he drew, it is actually not that difficult to reach South America. It is also very likely to find corn and potato seeds.
After all, it was not the past invasion of others, so the people there probably wouldn't be rashly fighting with their own people. Maybe they could establish stable diplomatic relations...
The only problem, and the biggest problem, is that going north to the Bering Strait in the Arctic Circle, requires passing through the control range of Silla and Khitan.
Silla is not a big problem, but the Khitan is in trouble.
Li Ye thought about it again: Do you have to get potatoes and corn? Do you have to get it as soon as possible?
No matter how he thinks, the answer is yes.
The country is strong, and time is endless!
For Li Ye personally, this is related to the improvement of his cultivation level.
This is how things in the world are. Li Ye can get 80% of the respect of the Tang people, but he cannot get all the luck of the Tang people. You can't expect that the elderly, weak, women and children who can't even fill their stomachs and can't even survive the cold winter will have absolute loyalty to you.
With all his plans, he may be able to become the Daluo Golden Immortal in three years.
But there are a lot of Daluo Golden Immortals in the Taoist Immortal Court.
Not only that, there is a more noble saint realm. For example, Laojun.
Who knows what they think?
Allah came from the west and even defeated the Holy Buddha, and maybe he was also in the realm of a saint.
Below the saints, they are all ants. No matter how strong the Daluo Golden Immortal is, he is still in two worlds with the saint. Facing it head-on, he probably can only be ravaged.
According to this level of improvement, even if Li Ye recovers the Western Regions, destroys the Khitan, and intimidates the grassland, it is probably difficult to achieve the saint realm. Whether it is the Western Regions or the grassland, there are actually too few people compared to the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, it is better to ask people from these places to be completely loyal to the Tang Dynasty than to find potatoes and corn.
Only by fully obtaining the fortune of the Tang people and supplementing it with expanding territory can Li Ye become a saint.
It is just a speculation based on the possibility of trends.
Now it seems that bringing back the seeds of potatoes and corn, and improving the printing and weaving techniques at the same time, allows the Tang people to read and practice while eating and wearing warm clothes - at least to let them see this hope, not only is it the key to enhancing the strength of the Tang Dynasty, but also the key to enhancing Li Ye’s own strength!
"After all, we must first solve the Khitan to find food seeds to open up the road for the real world to go to South America." Thinking of this, Li Ye had already had a plan in his mind.
Khitan is a problem he has always wanted to solve.
The question is whether he is ready and whether he can achieve his goals in one battle.
To solve the Khitan, we have to face up to the issue of the Immortal Realm War.
