"The most important thing we lack in Vietnam is pearls, yarn, and fish, but these things are nothing compared to rice."

Lu Di stopped talking when he heard this, he understood that the current natural insect pests in Yue Country are serious, and it is already a great happiness to be able to finally produce some rice all year round, and it can even be said to be auspicious, so who wants to sell rice?

For example, the destruction of crops by crabs encountered today is a disaster that is difficult to control, not to mention other pests!

There is no shortage of hard-working scholars, no lack of fertile land, and no lack of abundant water resources, but there is a lack of agricultural technology to raise and protect rice!

Thinking of this, Lu Di almost couldn't help but tell Shi Lao Er and Shi Lao San how to protect the rice, but when the words came to his mouth, he was suffocated back again.

If they help them improve their rice planting technology, then the strength of the Yue Kingdom will increase significantly, and in the future, when the Qi State and the Yue Kingdom will reach the same level, it will undoubtedly cause more casualties to each other.

So Lu Di still endured it, and endured it with a clear conscience, suffering their generation, happy generations, worth it!

"Is there no way around it?" Lu Di said.

Shi Laosan said: "Yes, double the yarn."

Double the yarn?

Lu Di thought to himself after hearing this, double the yarn, that is, five horses per household, if these yarns are sold in Qi State, at least one horse can be exchanged for more than ten stone of grain, that is to say, each family must pay at least more than fifty stone of grain every year.

That's fifty stones!

If there are 100,000 households in the Yue Kingdom, that is 5 million offerings per year.

What is the country doing with so much food hoarding?

Lu Di suddenly became suspicious, knowing that five million stone rice was enough to supply an army of 100,000 for two years, not to mention that Yue Guo had implemented this mixed tax model for more than ten years, in other words, Yue Guo's treasury might have been filled with grain and silk yarn now.

After the whole banquet, Lü Di's mood was heavy, and he seemed to understand why Goujian, the king of Yue, was able to defeat the powerful state of Wu after his father's death.

Ten years of life and gathering, the king of Lao Yue has a long-term vision, maybe he has already seen the ambition of Wu when Wu suddenly intervened in the second Qichu War.

Lu Di sighed, and for some reason he walked and came to a stream, and he was only followed by Da Hei at this time.

The moonlight shone through the bamboo forest and shone on the murmuring water, and he touched Da Hei's head, and Da Hei stretched out his tongue and licked Lu Di's hand.

Lu Di sat on a boulder, and Da Hei was wagging his tail back and forth in front of him.

Seeing Da Hei's old hair, Lu Di suddenly realized that he had been adrift for another six or seven years since he left Da Long Legs.

Time flies, reluctant to give up day and night, I don't know how the long legs are now?

She was so crazy with her at the beginning, would she also give birth to an heir for herself like Lan Qi'er?

If he had given birth, the child would have been almost seven years old by now, right?

Just as Lu Di was thinking wildly, the big black beside Lu Di suddenly became a little restless, and it began to run towards the downstream of the stream.

Lu Di hurriedly chased after him, and through the tall reeds, there was a waterhole in front of him, and the water in the waterhole was very clear, and under the moonlight, it glowed white.

Around the waterhole, there are a few small lotuses that have only their sharp horns exposed, and the big black wagging his tail and staring at the middle of the pond.

Lu Di saw that there were no waves on the water, he was very puzzled, why did Da Hei, who seemed to be very alert and seemed to have opened his mind, bring him here to see this waterhole, could it be that there were any treasures in the waterhole?

Just as he was guessing nonsense, suddenly there was movement in the center of the pool, and a woman as white as jade, plump and plump, came out of the water.

Look at the beauty under the moon, the beauty is beautiful, the beauty under the moon is beautiful, the beauty is more beautiful, the beauty is secretly seen under the moon, the beauty is the most beautiful.

The woman was not wearing anything, Lu Di's eyes were straight, he only saw the roundness, only the whiteness, and only the lotus leaf red lotus on the white......

"Hey, light (ang)" Suddenly, the big black beside Lu Di called out urgently.

"Who?" The woman was really frightened when she heard the big black voice, she hurriedly squatted in the water, only one head leaked, and then her hands were protecting the critical parts, and her eyes were so beautiful that she couldn't look for the direction of the sound.

Lu Di was so frightened that he didn't have time to react and run away, and the eyes of the woman in the waterhole met him.

"Is that you?" The woman in the waterhole looked at Lu Didao very angrily.

Lu Di's face turned red: "Second ...... Second daughter, this matter is not what you think, it's it, it's the big black that suddenly came here, I thought something was going to happen, so I followed, but I didn't expect it, you ......."

"So you're just peeking at me, aren't you?"

Lu Di opened her mouth to explain, but at this time, the second daughter said:

"Still peeking and commenting, huh, light, right?"

The second daughter had tears in her eyes after speaking, and the ugly girl's good impression of Lu Di after explaining to her was now gone.

Lu Di couldn't wait to kill Da Hei at this time and make baked cakes with dog meat, but that comment was really not what he said.

Hey, light!

That's obviously a big black dog barking, okay?

But now it's useless to explain anything to a preconceived and irrational woman, Lu Di knows this very well, so he didn't explain: "Second daughter, whether you believe it or not, I, Lu Di, didn't comment on you."

With that, he turned and left.

The second daughter watched Lu Di gradually disappear into her field of vision, her eyes flickered, she didn't know what she was thinking, anyway, in the end, she hated and said: "Just watch it, comment on it, if you don't dare to admit it, I didn't say anything too much......"

Lu Di walked back to the place where everyone was camping, and just wiped the sweat off his forehead, secretly saying that he was lucky, if he was by that light, what light?

Lu Di's eyes suddenly stared at Niu Da, the second daughter, huh?

Okay, it turns out that the historical documents record that Xi Shi's name is Shi Yiguang from here, but this peeping, big black dog?

Lu Di shook his head to prevent himself from thinking wildly, and then returned to his camp and fell asleep.

Xiong Yiyi, who was not far from him, was already snoring at this time.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly on the rainforest, and the time of the day was hot and humid.

After Lu Di finished washing, he was going to Xishi Village to do a very important thing, to marry Zheng Dan.

Of course, this needs to seek Zheng Dan's consent, after all, his future is a sea of blood, although he doesn't want the fate given to him by God to be lost, and Zheng Dan is now so old but he has not married, he knows that it is his own reason.

So Lu Di doesn't want to live up to others, and he also likes Zheng Dan.

As for marrying, there is another point to say, although Zheng Dan is a nobleman surnamed Ji and has a tradition of marriage with Lu Di's own family, but after all, it is a partial branch, and she is not qualified to become Lu Di's official wife, even if she dies in the future, she can't follow Lu Di into the ancestral grave, so Lu Di is still a little worried about this, you must know that Zheng Dan is a woman who has an opinion and runs away at every turn.
