Chapter 1776 The Wisdom of Three People

The Han and Tang Dynasties were disbanded, the World-Destroying Army appeared, the Taiping Empire was established in Longcheng, and the war on the Tianfeng Continent was finally temporarily extinguished, but the lives of the people were still very difficult.

Twenty years of war have consumed too many resources on the Tianfeng Continent, and coupled with the massacre of Avril, it has almost forced the people to a dead end. The people don’t even know whether they can survive today, so they have the intention to farm. The plan for one year is in Yuchun, and there is no seed in spring and no harvest in autumn. This is the law of nature, and no one can disobey.

Today's spring is a chaotic spring. The people are all busy escaping, so they have no intention of caring for spring plowing. Now the war has stopped temporarily, but the spring plowing has passed, and the food is now very tight. There is no harvest in another autumn, so I really don't know how many people will starve to death.

Time never cares whether people want to pass or not. Every day, the people will have less food in their hands, and sooner or later they will be out of food.

When Rijkald mentioned the issue of food, everyone stopped talking. Hu You and Zhu Daneng also knew the importance of food, but they also had no good way to solve the current food crisis.

Hu You felt that the atmosphere was too depressing and said to Rijkaard half-jokingly: "You guy is over 100 years old. You must have experienced such a thing. Come up with a way to solve this problem."

Rijkald glared at Hu You angrily and said, "Do you think I am God, and you have a solution if you want a solution. It's you, aren't you a God-like existence in your place? If you can't handle anything, there will definitely be a solution when you get it. You might as well give us an idea now."

The debt in June has to be paid off quickly. Hu You just teased Rijkald, and Rijkald paid back Hu You. Their big and small are also considered popular figures in the Tianfeng Continent. It is already amazing if one of them appears. Now the two of them are together. They can't even get out of their lives, which shows how difficult this food problem is.

Zhu Daneng saw Hu You and the other two fighting again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm talking to you, now is not the time to bicker. If we don't think of a solution, it's too late to go."

Rijkald snorted: "It's not me who quarreled with this guy, he picked it up first."

Hu You smiled indifferently and said, "It's my fault, but Lao Li, you really have to give us some advice on this matter. Do you have a foundation in your heart?"

Seeing that Hu You admitted his mistake, Rijkaard stopped biting this matter. Hearing this, "Actually, there is no way. I remember that in my hometown, there was something called red heart potato, which grew in summer. This kind of thing grows very fast and can be harvested in about two months. On average, one acre of land can produce tens of thousands of kilograms. Although it doesn't taste very good, there will definitely be no problem filling your neck. If we can let the common people plant red heart potato, then we should be able to withstand it."

"Hongxin Potato. Have you heard of it?" Hu You asked Zhu Daneng. Zhu Daneng's family was also a food provider, and he was very knowledgeable in this regard.

Zhu Daneng frowned and said, "In my memory, it seems that such a thing has never appeared."

*********************************************************

"Unknown to me, it's been a month since Hu You went out. I don't know how he is now." Ximen Yufeng said while wiping her body lightly.

While the Han and Tang Dynasties were disbanded, the guard camp was also disbanded. Apart from a few guards who were already close to each other like a family, Ximen Yufeng and others did not leave many people.

When Hu You left, the one who could not let go of the most was Weiwei. After discussing, Ximen Yufeng and others decided to come to take care of Weiwei's life in person. Today it was Ximen Yufeng and Ouyang Hanbing's turn to come over.

Ouyang Hanbing said: "I'm not worried about Hu You's situation. He was just a person who could do well anywhere. What I'm even more worried about is my eldest sister. She has been out for so long and hasn't come back yet. I really don't know how she is now."

After carrying the Hongye, Ximen Yufeng shook her head. Hongye has been out for half a year and there is no news yet. Although they are no longer in Seoul, they have left secret codes all the way away from Seoul. When Hongye sees the secret code, she will naturally find this place.

Ximen Yufeng comforted Ouyang Hanbing and said, "The eldest sister shouldn't have anything to do. Over the years, the eldest sister has done everything herself. Maybe she is tired and wants to stay outside for a while. When the time is almost over, she should be back."

Ouyang Hanbing shook her head and said, "You don't have to use this to comfort me. How could I not know what kind of sisters are for so many years? With her personality, she is definitely not the kind of person who will stay outside. If something hadn't happened, she would have run back long ago."

The two sisters were chatting while wiping their bodies. After the Han and Tang dynasties were disbanded, they all put down the burden on their bodies. The most obvious one was Huang Jinfeng. Huang Jinfeng had to take care of the food and drink of more than 100,000 people before. Every day, when she opened her eyes, she was waiting for her expenses. Now, she only needed to meet the cost of two or thirty people in her family. The pressure could be said to be a thousand times reduced.

"Mama Yufeng." A voice interrupted Ximen Yufeng and the others' chat.

"It's Yaya, come in." Yufeng called out the door, and then saw Yaya walking in from outside.

"Yaya, what's wrong with us?" Ouyang Hanbing asked.

Yaya nodded and said, "Two mothers, Yaya has a request, I hope the two mothers can allow it."

"You talk about it first." The people around Hu You were almost becoming selves. They would never agree to it without knowing the specific content of the matter.

Yaya said: "Hongye's mother has been out for a long time, and Qiqi and I are very worried about her. Qiqi and I want to go out to pick up Hongye's mother back."

"This..." Ouyang Hanbing glanced at Ximen Yufeng, and then said to Yaya: "It's very messy outside now, and I'm afraid there will be danger when I go out."

"Yaya knows the danger, but Yaya won't be afraid. It is because of the danger outside that Yaya wants to pick up Hongye's mother back soon."

*********************************************************

“This play is really not delicious.”

Hu You has seen what red heart potato is this time. This game weighs two or three pounds and can be kept for a long time without breaking. According to Rijkald, it grows fast and the harvest is quite good, but the taste is really not very good. If eating is a pleasure, then eating this red heart potato will definitely be a pain.

Zhu Daneng did not express his opinion, but looking at him, a person who is so cold that he can bite even if he doesn't smell bad, eating red heart potato is like taking poison, you can imagine how unpalatable this game is.

"This is the taste of my hometown. This red heart potato has been by my side for at least twenty years, and I have never been willing to eat it." Rijkald did not eat red heart potato, but miss. Such a bad thing, surrounded by miss, he could actually eat it with relish. It can be seen that the power of miss is.

"How many years did you say?" Hu You widened his eyes. He was wondering why Rijkaard could find a piece when he mentioned the red heart potato. It turned out that this thing had been collected by Rijkaard into an antique.

"You will give us something from twenty years ago?" Zhu Daneng also jumped up now. If this game was put on a few more years, it would be as old as him.

Rijkald smiled and said, "Don't worry, once the red heart potato is completely dry, it will not break for how long it will last. Now you all know what the red heart potato looks like, how do you feel?"

Hu You pondered: "The common people are hungry, let alone red-hearted potatoes. Even mud bark can be eaten, and the taste is not a big problem."

Zhu Daneng continued: "The problem is that the people have never seen this thing before. It would be difficult to let them spend too little time to bet on this game to survive."

Rijkald sighed, "What you are considering is exactly what I am considering. The people are now frightened birds. They are guarding against everything and doubting everything. If they want them to feel at ease, they are afraid it will not be that easy."

Hu You said: "If you really have to do it, there is actually no way."

Rijkald said happily: "You have a way?"

Hu You said: "It depends on how much money you have."

Rijkald was stunned and said, "What does this have to do with money?"

Hu You explained: "Of course it's related. Now you are building Longcheng. Isn't it just that the people who are invited to work as workers with money? If you temporarily stop all the projects in your hands and concentrate all your manpower and material resources to plant red heart potatoes, I believe that they will definitely attract the attention of the people..."

Rijkald obediently said, "Then he put some news out in secret and said that the red heart potato is so bad, then the people will definitely rush to plant it. When the red heart potato is harvested, even if it does not have magical effects, it can at least be eaten. At that time, the food problem will naturally be solved."

Hu You nodded and said, "That's right. Whether it can arouse the interest of the people depends on how old you can play."

Zhu Daneng suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute, Lao Li, how many years have you not returned to your hometown?"

"It's been fifty or sixty years, why are you asking about this?"

"You said this play is a specialty of your hometown. Are there any plays in your hometown now?"

*********************************************************

"It should be some more." Rijkald recalled for ten minutes before replying. In these ten minutes, the smiles on Hu You and Zhu Daneng's faces had turned into tears. Red Heart Potato was the only life-saving thing they could think of now. If Rijkald's hometown had no such thing as this thing, and there weren't even seeds, what could it be like to plant it?

"Depending on your appearance, you dare not do it, right?" It's important, and Zhu Daneng didn't plan to let Rijkaard go. This matter must be investigated clearly, otherwise it would be like lying to himself.

Rijkaard smiled bitterly: "Over the years, I have been sure that I have not paid attention to this situation. Now I really can't answer you a certain piece of information. The only thing I can be sure of is that 20 years ago, red heart potatoes still existed in large quantities."

Zhu Daneng said bluntly: "Twenty years ago, what has the whole world become? The news from twenty years ago is nothing to do with it. Now the most important thing is to send someone to understand the situation. If there is no seed, we should think of another way as soon as possible."

Rijkald has a prominent past, but he is really unable to scare people when he is now. Zhu Daneng is not afraid of him at all, and he says whatever he wants.

Rijkald frowned and said, "Longcheng is not very far from my hometown, but this person... Zhu Daneng, why don't you go and have a trip."

Zhu Daneng pointed to his nose and said, "Don't your World-Destroying Army has hundreds of thousands of troops? You don't need so many subordinates, why do you want me to go?"

Rijkald explained: "I have a lot of people under my command, but you know. It's very troublesome for me to issue orders now, and we don't have any clues about who the poisoned person is. Red Heart Potato is our life-saving pill. I want to hand over to someone I can definitely trust to investigate."

Hu You and Zhu Daneng now know that Rijkald issued instructions through spokespersons. There is no way for him to do this. If it weren't for this, who would have listened to his "little brat" orders?

Before, Rijkald trusted his spokesperson very much. Except for not letting him see him, almost everything was left to be taken care of. However, after the poisoning incident of He Liangyu and his other people mentioned by Hu You, Rijkald did not dare to completely trust the people around him. After all, the person who can poison He Liangyu is definitely from the inside, and what is really scary is that he still doesn't know the real purpose of the poisoner. He is afraid that a mistake will lead to eternal regret.

Hu You pondered for a while and said to Zhu Daneng: "What Lao Li said is the same thing, otherwise you should work harder. Let's go this trip."

Even Hu You said that even if Zhu Daneng didn't want to go, he had to go. In fact, Zhu Daneng was not afraid of hard work and didn't want to go. He just said something casually to Jacard.

"Then I'll leave tomorrow."

*********************************************************

Zhu Daneng went to investigate the Hongxinshu, and only Hu You and Rijkaard were left in the room. In order to ensure that his identity was not exposed, Rijkaard did not arrange servants in his residence. When Hu You did not come, he stayed alone in the room, not even a person to say something. Now that Hu You is here, his life is not so light.

"Old Li, what's the endorsement you made? Can you trust?" In fact, Hu You had already wanted to ask this place before, but he had never had the chance to ask. Now Rijkald has begun to doubt the people around him, and that endorsement is also one of the doubtful objects. Hu You must understand his situation.

Rijkaard said: "He was cultivated by me many years ago. At first I was like letting him be my substitute. You know, the profession of the emperor is very dangerous, and it is necessary to have a substitute. But later, when the smaller thing happened, the substitute was used in this aspect."

"So, he is also an old man?"

"I'm not very old yet. I'm about sixty years old. I look nine points like me when I put on makeup. I have also trained myself in special ways. I won't have any problems with dressing up."

"How is his loyalty?" Hu You is most concerned about this issue. Loyalty is necessary. If you don't have loyalty, no matter how strong your ability is, it will have no meaning. Even the stronger your ability is, the more terrifying it is.

Rijkald pondered: "There was absolutely no problem before, but it's hard to say now."

Hu You understood what Rijkaard meant. Power can change a person. The substitute can now say that he has completely taken over Rijkaard's power. He can issue orders as he wishes.

It is really not easy to do if a person is used to giving orders and asks him to go back and listen to other people's orders. Now that person's substitute should have been used to letting the people below follow him to act. It is hard to say whether he will still do things 100% of Irijkald's orders.

"It seems that I need to meet your substitute. Is there any way you can get me to his side so that I can have a chance to observe him up close?"

Rijkald said: "I, as a 'envoy, can still do something, there is no problem with this. Give me some time and I will arrange it."

"That's fine. We have to clarify this matter first before we can proceed to the next step. By the way, if I find any problem and the situation at that time is not allowed to tell you first, is it okay..."

Without waiting for Hu You to finish his words, Rijkaard interrupted and said, "No problem, I believe in your judgment. If you find something wrong, you can destroy him. I will never show mercy to those who betray me."

Hu You smiled and said, "You really hate it."
