Chapter 167 1 hour before
As the news spread, representatives of various aristocratic families in Chang'an immediately sent people to infiltrate the imperial farm to investigate whether the matter was true.
For this reason, as Li Shimin deliberately relaxed the defense of the imperial estate, these spies easily obtained information about the experimental fields and passed the matter on to the representatives of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City.
Yield of 1,000 kilograms of rice and corn per mu!!
There are also various vegetables, fruits and spices that I have never seen before!!
The key is the rice. You can tell at a glance that the yield per mu is extremely high, more than twice the current rice yield.
As for the corn, they wanted to confirm it further, but there was someone in charge who was only allowed to look at it but not touch it.
But it can also be seen from those plump bumps that the yield of this unprecedented crop is definitely not low.
The spy quickly reported the news back, and the representatives of the noble families who received the news immediately had a bad feeling that something was wrong. The appearance of the two high-yield grains and the fact that the news was obviously released deliberately by the imperial court.
Let them realize that this may be a strategy to divide and disintegrate the court.
But they had to report the information to the person in charge of their respective families.
This is an open conspiracy. The imperial court is telling you openly that as long as you are willing to give up the food austerity policy, you can make money together and share the grain seeds together.
Although they wanted to unite and continue to fight against the imperial court, they were all afraid that other families would compromise first, so they had to respond as well.
Because some of the Guanlong gentry had already entered the palace.
They received clear information that these people were summoned to the palace by the emperor to discuss the distribution of new grain seeds.
No!
They must also have new grain varieties themselves, otherwise the future grain market will be controlled by the Guanlong gentry, who have already defected to the royal family.
In other words, the grain market will be firmly controlled by the imperial court in the future!
This kind of thing must not happen, this is digging up their roots!!
If the royal family is really allowed to dominate and control food, their strength will increase greatly.
Then they would lose the most solid trump card in their hands, and how could they continue to confront the royal family and the court?
Food austerity cannot continue.
Even if we give up this time of suppressing the imperial court, we must obtain new grain varieties at all costs.
So the representatives of these noble families wrote letters to the leaders of their respective families, explaining the reasons one by one.
The food austerity policy agreed upon among the aristocratic families began to show cracks.
Before they even began to exert their strength, they were divided and disintegrated by this conspiracy of the imperial court.
So what choice will the leaders of the major families in Shandong make?
Li Chengqian was not in the mood to care about these things for the time being, because the next time of time travel had already arrived.
On the morning of the tenth day, Li Chengqian had just finished comforting Su, who was already pregnant, and got up to wash up.
Just then, a prompt sounded from the system.
[The next time I travel through time has been set. It will be in 2000, one hour before the 911/1 incident. The destination is Manhattan, New York! ]
[This time, the host will be given the right to use unlimited space for three days. As long as the eyes lock on anything within ten meters, you can put anything into the space, but you cannot bring it back to the Tang Dynasty...]
【Number of people crossing: 60...】
【Complete the hidden task and you will get a reward...】
"2001, 911!!"
"Unlimited space usage rights!!"
"Are there any hidden tasks?"
“Interesting…”
Li Chengqian quickly sent someone to notify Li Shimin, Li Jing and others to come to the Eastern Palace for a meeting.
Everyone was counting the days, knowing that today was the time for a new time travel, so they rushed here as soon as they received the news.
Pei Xingjian also rushed back to Chang'an in the early morning with great risk and was the last one to arrive at the Eastern Palace.
When he stepped into the East Palace, he found that everyone had changed into future-style clothes that had been made over the past ten days.
This was what Li Chengqian asked them to prepare in advance in order to avoid unnecessary trouble after the time travel.
Although he didn't know in advance which period of history he would travel through this time, according to the pattern of these times, they were all after the Qing Dynasty.
If he changed into modern clothes, even if he returned to the Republic of China, he would not attract too much attention.
At least it will attract less attention than wearing a Tang suit or Hanfu.
For example, Cheng Yaojin was wearing a pair of shorts and a pair of black linen shoes.
Leg hair is sexy and wild!
The upper body is an embroidered short-sleeved shirt with a pattern of a tiger descending from the mountain.
It's very rustic, but the fabric of the clothes is high-quality.
If you add a gold necklace and wear black sunglasses, you will definitely look like a nouveau riche.
"Haha, this outfit of mine is pretty good, right? I'm sure a lot of people will want to take photos with me then."
Yuchi Gong was wearing a weird floral embroidered shirt.
This was a style he had seen when he was traveling through Japan. He liked the colorful colors very much. The tight pants underneath, combined with his explosive body, made him look like a perfect gangster.
Yuchi Gong looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "It's not as pretty as mine. Look at this peony embroidery. My wife spent eight days embroidering it. It's full of love."
The two of them were competing with each other, and the clothes of others were also unique, but they were all relatively low-key and restrained.
Except for the small braids on the back of everyone's head, they look like a group of modern people in strange clothes.
"Why are you still standing there? Go change your clothes!" Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xingjian who was in a daze.
Li Chengqian was only wearing a simple black silk short-sleeved shirt and a horse-faced skirt on the lower body.
He did not blindly pursue modernity and wear whatever looked good.
Moreover, the destination of this time travel is America in the year 2000, so it is estimated that there won't be many opportunities to fight.
That's why he asked everyone to change their clothes. There was no need to wear heavy armor, but the Tang sword still had to be equipped.
Anyway, it is legal to own guns in America, so what's wrong with carrying a knife? !
Pei Xingjian arrived in a hurry and did not bring the modern clothes he had prepared in advance.
Seeing this, Su gave Li Chengqian another set of black T-shirt and horse-faced skirt that she had prepared for him to change.
The two of them have similar body shapes, so the dress fits Pei Xingjian pretty well.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Chengqian said, "Our destination this time is America in the future. In that era, America was the absolute world hegemon, and its status was even higher than that of the Tang Dynasty today."
Absolute world overlord!!
The status is higher than that of the Tang Dynasty!!
Li Shimin was immediately caught by this sentence.
What he wore was similar to Li Chengqian's, and was also prepared by Su.
"There is no specific mission for this time travel, but there is a major incident. An organization in the Western Region that is oppressed by America hijacked a plane and crashed into two tall buildings in America. We landed one hour before this incident."
Everyone listened attentively.
Li Chengqian continued: "Even if there is no mission, we can take advantage of the civil unrest in America after the terrorist attack to do something and waste these three days. I have an idea..."
