Although he was a little overjoyed, the news was still exciting, at least it increased Li Zhi's confidence a lot. Once he succeeded, Li Zhi would never worry so much when attacking Goguryeo. .

"Did you do this?"

Han Yi had just left the hall and was about to find Yuan Xi, but Yang Sine came over first.

Han Yi smiled, not admitting or denying it.

After seeing this, Yang Sine breathed a little relieved and said, "Zhan Fei is still unable to hold back. At least he will wait until the second season of harvest before the report. If this fails, it will be more than worth the loss."

Han Yi comforted: "Please rest assured Mr. Yang, that's my brother-in-law, how could I harm him?"

"What brother-in-law?"

Yang Sine reacted very quickly, glared at him with her eyes wide open, and suddenly glanced at him guiltily, and found that the ministers around him were all talking about the new rice seeds. No one noticed them, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Yi smiled frankly for a few times, and then said seriously: "Actually, I can understand that the second young master did this."

“Why?”

Yang Sine said in surprise.

Han Yi said: "The Yuan family was not a trial plant in one place. The second young master was so anxious to report the news, just because he was afraid that the news would come to Chang'an first. In this way, if news came from Yangzhou again, it would not attract much attention. The second young master has been unknown for several years in Yangzhou. Moreover, he was able to be in Yangzhou not because of himself, but because of the Yang family. If I were him, I would also urgently hope to attract the attention of the court. But as long as it succeeds, it doesn't matter."

Yang Sine frowned.

Han Yi said again: "This is just the beginning. Mr. Yang, please wait and see. In the next three years, the second young master's good news will be delivered one by one."

Yang Sine looked at Han Yi in surprise.

Han Yi smiled and said, "If Yangzhou is an agricultural state, it would be a pity. Business is the big deal. Of course, Yangzhou's agriculture is also one of the best."

Agriculture is one of the best, but business is still the big one. What kind of monster is this?

Yang Sine sighed and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you juniors."

As he said that, he left.

Han Yi blinked, is it that Yang Feixue’s affairs? Is it a matter of juniors? Thinking of this, he was happy. This guy finally gave up. He easily caught up with Yuan Xi, who was staggering and said, “Senior.”

Yuan Xi bowed and said, "It's Mr. Han!"

"In the future, I will have to help Mr. Lai."

"I dare not, I dare not!"

"If the senator doesn't mind, I want to talk to you now."

"Mr. Han is really dedicated!"

"Where, where, I just want to go out by carriage."

"Ah haha!"

After getting down the steps, Han Yi and Yuan Xi got on the carriage.

When he got on the carriage, Yuan Xi let out a long sigh and said, "This time I was so scared. So are you. Don't inform me earlier."

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Please forgive me, uncle, I and Your Majesty know at the same time."

Yuan Xi said: "This incident has caused a lot of trouble in the hall. I still feel a little uneasy, but nothing wrong."

Han Yi said: "It is unlikely. Even if it encounters a natural disaster, it is impossible for natural disasters across the country. We have experimented in many places. As long as we succeed, His Majesty will not blame the Yuan family for the natural disaster."

Yuanxi nodded, suddenly glanced at Han Yi and said, "Han Yi, do you still have a hand?"

Han Yi was stunned and said, "What do you say about uncle?"

Yuan Xi said: "If you are not sure to innovate further, you will let the Sixth Academy of Sages stop this job."

He is worthy of being the head of the Yuan family. He was so scared that he still turned his mind so quickly. Han Yi smiled and said, "I have done my best to the Yuan family and have no concealment. I asked the Sixth Academy of Sages to take on this job because I knew that the emergence of a new rice seed will inevitably lead to more new rice seeds, and some new technologies will also lead to new technologies. I know how to organize these experienced farmers to study. This is also the biggest feature of the Sixth Academy of Sages, which is specialized in research and development. In addition, I think the Yuan family does not need to spend so much energy on research. It is perfect for the court to contribute money and effort to research. Anyway, the court has done research and will not be used for the people."

Yuan Xi frowned and waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. The results of the imperial court's research are for everyone to use. Then everyone gets the same technology, and the products of my Yuan family are nothing special. Therefore, the Yuan family still cannot rely too much on the imperial court."

Han Yi pondered slightly and said, "Anyway, Your Majesty also asked the Yuan family to cooperate with the Sixth Academy of Sages. Since that's the case, the technology is of course the same. I believe that the Yuan family can also get some new technologies from it and then develop their own new technologies based on the new technologies. In fact, it seems impossible to hide this aspect for how long it takes. One step ahead is enough to lay a huge advantage."

Yuanxi nodded.

The two of them talked about future developments and came to Yuanjiabao in a bumpy manner. As soon as they entered the door, Yuan Mudan hurriedly came up.

"Uncle, is it because of the new rice seeds - husband, you are here too!" Yuan Mudan discovered Han Yi halfway through this.

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "When the lady saw me, she used this surprised tone. I feel so guilty for her husband!"

Yuan Mudan gave him a light glance, her delicate skin was a little rosy.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "By the way, Peony, how did you know?"

Yuan Mudan said: "Uncle, you have just left, and Yuanjie's letter has been delivered. It is said that it was delivered by the inn."

Yuan Xi said: "What did the letter say."

Yuan Mudan said: "It's still a matter of manpower. The time between early rice and late rice is too short. And if the time is delayed, I'm afraid that the late rice will fail. Although we have prepared enough manpower, it still seems unsatisfactory to reach this period of harvesting. Yuan Jie also invited a lot of people from outside to help with harvesting."

As she said that, she suddenly looked at Han Yi.

Han Yi nodded and said, "I understand, I will find a way to improve the farm tools, but you also know that this is impossible to hurry."

Yuan Xi said: "Han Yi is right, this matter is unhurried. Since manpower is insufficient, let Lingnan not rush to plant two seasons of rice, and temporarily focus on land reclamation. In addition, tools are only one aspect, and we cannot place all hope on tools. Manpower is the top priority. It seems that Yuan Fei needs to find a way to obtain enough slaves from those islands as soon as possible."

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Han Yi and said, "Han Yi, I have been thinking about something recently. I wonder if it is feasible?"

Han Yi said curiously: "What's the matter?"

"Let's talk about it when you get in the house."

When he arrived at the meeting hall, Yuan Xi took a sip of tea, slowed down, looked at Han Yi again, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hasn't the imperial court sent troops to attack Goguryeo and Baekje recently?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yuan Xi said: "This war requires money. The soldiers are at least fighting for their lives, just to eat with one bite of food. If the people they captured belong to them, and then the prisoners are sold to us, the soldiers will gain the benefits and will definitely fight the enemy more bravely and reduce the imperial court's reward for the soldiers. Isn't this a three-killing victory?"

Han Yi heard it and all the khans came out. He at least suggested introducing the savages into places to develop, but Yuan Xi directly wanted to convert prisoners of war into slaves. Although the nature was the same, it was more evil.

Yuan Mudan immediately said: "Uncle, how can this be done? Whether it is the Emperor Taizong or the Emperor of His Majesty today, they all use benevolence to rule the world. When Emperor Taizong conquered the Eastern Turks, they also used virtue to conquer people. If we do this, the soldiers will not be a prisoner of war or the people, they will all be sold. This will damage the reputation of our Tang Dynasty and endanger military discipline. It must not be!"

Yuan Xi snorted: "Goguryeo killed me as many as 100,000 Chinese children, but now there are still 100,000 bones that cannot be returned home. What's wrong with this blood debt and blood, so that the people of Goguryeo benefit the descendants of these people." While speaking, his eyes kept glancing at Han Yi. This kind of thing involved military and political affairs and national affairs, which he could not help, and he had to rely on Han Yi.

After thinking about it, Han Yi felt that Yuan Xi's words seemed to make sense. His plan to advance south was by no means easy, and he had to be developed. This was made of blood and sweat. At this moment, Han Yi finally understood why every pore of capitalism is dirty, because it was inevitable. He said: "Uncle, Mudan is right. As the overlord of the world, I did not rely entirely on dominance. The king's way is the foundation. If you do so, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang army."

Speaking of this, he changed his tone: "But it is not impossible to convert prisoners of war into slaves, but it is just a difference between more and less. Moreover, they are usually for the imperial court to be enslaved or rewarded with generals who went to war. There should still be room for operation here, but it seems too early to talk about these things. My Tang Dynasty's army was just to rescue Silla, not to destroy Goguryeo."

Yuan Xi said: "But I don't look like it!"

Han Yi smiled.

Yuan Xi also knew that he had asked a little too much, so he coughed lightly and said, "But I think this is feasible. Goguryeo is far from the Central Plains. It is capricious and cunning. If one day he can eliminate Goguryeo, then just be more thorough and eliminate future troubles."

Han Yi said in a slight manner: "Let's talk about it then."

Yuan Xi did not force herself, and nodded with a smile. The few people discussed it based on Yuan Jie's letter, and Yuan Xi left. After all, she was very tired.

As soon as he left, Yuan Mudan said very angrily: "Uncle is getting more and more excessive. He actually wants to use your hands to interfere in major national affairs." As he said that, he said to Han Yi: "Husband, don't encourage uncle to be so arrogant. Since ancient times, they have been famous for their virtuous ministers for generations. After all, business is just a trivial matter, which is incomparable to your career."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I remember when Emperor Taizong discussed with Duke Wei how to stabilize the northern border, Duke Wei once said, 'The Huns face and beastly hearts are not my race. The strong will lead to robbery, and the weak will lead to humiliation and ignorance. It is his nature. Uncle has this idea, but it is not a big mistake. I believe many ministers have this idea."

"But Master Taizong did not listen to Duke Wei, and the result also proved that Master Taizong was right." Yuan Mudan said with a dark eyebrows and said, "What are you really planning to do?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "Of course I don't have this plan. Now I haven't even had a single horoscope, but if the opportunity appears, I don't want to miss it. Peony, I ask you, if someone sells slaves to you, do you want it?"

Yuan Mudan lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

Han Yi said: "War is cruel. One party must pay the bill for it. This party is often the loser. But now it is useless to say this, so don't be angry. Uncle is just talking. I'm afraid even Your Majesty can't make the decision. The first thing we are paying attention to now is the southbound plan. By the way, how is the cotton output?"

Yuan Mudan nodded and said, "It goes very smoothly and there will be no mistakes, but I hope to build a textile cotton workshop in Jiangnan to transport cotton instead of cotton. After all, it takes a lot of financial and manpower to transport cotton. Cotton cloth is more convenient than cotton."

Han Yi said: "It is built in Yangzhou. After all, Yangzhou has the largest population in Jiangnan. If you go to Kuanxiang, the population will be small. If you are all working, then who will farm? Once the commercial crisis comes to agriculture, the result can be imagined. Therefore, the workshop must be built in a large city with concentrated population, so that you can obtain enough manpower to help the court reduce the burden of land granted and not delay agriculture."

"I see!"

Yuan Mudan nodded and stammered again.

Han Yi hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else that cannot be said between us?"

Yuan Mudan hesitated for a moment and said, "They are coming soon!"

Han Yi said in surprise: "Who?"

Yuan Mudan said: "You don't know what you asked?"

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, suddenly stunned, and said, "Is it -!"

Yuan Mudan nodded.

"I have something to play now!" Han Yi smirked and said, "You can help me stabilize them first. I will handle the matter at hand, and then give yourself a long vacation. Let's have some fun."

Yuan Mudan said: "He is my elder brother, you have played too much else."

Han Yi said: "Did you forget how he treated us?"

Yuan Mudan didn't make a sound, but there was a hint of blush on her face.
