Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 719 Shocked Li Qingzhao so dizzy (please subscribe!)
...

The title "Old Li" is neither far nor close, neither formal nor casual, but also seems a little friendly. The key is not to reveal who Li Yan is, let alone lie. It is very suitable for Li Qingzhao to call Li Yan.

Li Qingzhao also felt this way.

However, the title "Old X" does not exist in this era. Therefore, it is somewhat impolite for Li Qingzhao to call Li Yan that way.

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, Li Qingzhao feels that Li Yan is not related to the word "old".

Thinking of Li Yan asking Zhe Yuexiu and others to call him Master before, and now calling him Lao Li, Li Qingzhao couldn't help but said: "Old...Old Li, can I ask you a question, are you honored this year?"

Li Yan knew why Li Qingzhao was confused, so without talking nonsense, he said directly, "I was born in Yuanyou six years ago."

After hearing this, Li Qingzhao said with a look of disbelief, "Are you already 36?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Why, it doesn't look like it?"

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said, "It's not like that. Looking at your appearance, I wouldn't believe it even if I said that you are only a weak crown."

Li Yandao: "I am really born in the sixth year of Yuanyou. I have two concubines who should be about the same age as Master Li."

Li Yan was talking about Miss Xiao Puxian and brother Xiao Gui, who were actually not much younger than Li Qingzhao.

Not only in later generations, but now, the age of women is also a secret, no, it should be said that in the feudal society, the age of women is even more secret.

Therefore, Li Qingzhao looked at Li Yan and asked calmly, "Do you know my age?"

Li Yan has been in this era for more than ten years. It can be said that he has fully integrated into this era. How can he not know what taboo he has committed?

Li Yan remedied: "20 years ago, I heard Master Li's poems and knew your name. It can be said that I grew up listening to Master Li's poems, so I have a certain understanding of Master Li's age. guess."

"Isn't this saying that I'm old in disguise?" Li Qingzhao said in his heart, "Where am I old? Even if I stand with Yuexiu, I have the confidence not to lose to her!"

If it wasn't for fear of ruining his own image, Li Qingzhao would have ordered Li Yan to give Li Yan a hard look at this moment.

At the same time, Li Qingzhao remembered what Zhe Yuexiu said before, that Li Yan and her were old acquaintances, and couldn't help thinking: "Could it be that I and him are really old acquaintances?"

Naturally, Li Qingzhao couldn't continue the topic of her age, so he changed the topic and said, "Your literary level is very high, this one..."

Li Yan said: "Slow Voice."

Li Qingzhao continued: "This "Slow Voice" is a rare and good poem. I don't know, besides this "Slow Voice", do you have any other works?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "Master Li is wrong, I am not a literati, but a warrior."

Li Qingzhao is very different!
Li Yan was taller and taller than most men in this era, but he didn't look like a rough martial artist at all, so that Li Qingzhao never thought that Li Yan was a general.

Li Qingzhao said: "I really didn't expect that you are a general who fights on the battlefield."

Li Yan said with a smile: "Master Li, don't think that I am not tall, but after I get on the horse, I can fight at least a thousand people."

Li Qingzhao shook her head secretly - she thought Li Yan was boasting.

Li Qingzhao said in his heart: "There are a few strong generals in Dazhong who killed thousands of people, but there seems to be no one whose surname is Li..."

But Li Qingzhao did not expose Li Yan, nor did he continue the topic of Li Yan being a general, but changed the subject without a trace: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Old... Li, I don't quite understand what you are doing here? "

Li Yandao: "Yuexiu should have told everyone Li that I am cultivating corn and sweet potatoes?"

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "She told me, but are the corn and sweet potatoes really so productive?"

Li Yan said: "It's getting dark, let's talk as we walk."

Li Qingzhao nodded, then waved to the servants in the distance.

When Li Qingzhao's servants saw it, they immediately drove the carriage over.

Li Yan walked and said: "Although I am a general, I have no chance to go to the battlefield now. I can only find something else to do. In my opinion, the most important thing for the common people is food and clothing. As long as the people have no worries about food and clothing, and they are not intruded by foreign enemies and bandits, the people should be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and my control of the big and middle schools should be stable. Therefore, I have been working hard to achieve these three points. In terms of policy, I will Let’s not talk about it. Many years ago, through constant research and inquiry, I finally found several high-yielding crops. Champa rice is the first, and corn and sweet potatoes are the second. Champa rice has already been planted on a large scale in my university. , the results are very gratifying. However, because Champa rice has high requirements on the environment, it cannot grow on all lands. Therefore, I have spent a lot of effort to find corn and sweet potatoes. Now, I am trying to make these two If I can successfully transplant and cultivate crops, if I can do it, then the hunger situation of the people in the Central Plains will definitely be greatly improved."

There is actually a lot of information in Li Yan's words, but because Li Yan's appearance is too deceptive and his attitude towards Li Qingzhao is so casual, so that Li Qingzhao has never connected Li Yan with the high-ranking emperor. I feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong.

In the end, Li Qingzhao could only avoid the trivial and said: "Then have the corn and sweet potatoes been successfully cultivated?"

Li Yan said: "The corn planted has not moved yet. It may be that the time for planting is not right. Try planting some more after a while." Immediately, Li Yan couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said: "However, some sweet potatoes have been planted. Germinated, the next step is to cut these germinated sweet potatoes into pieces, and then plant them. The rest is for agricultural researchers to slowly explore how to increase production. I believe that within a few years, sweet potatoes will definitely grow. If it becomes one of the main grains for our Central Plains people, it will definitely improve the starvation situation of the Central Plains people.”

Li Qingzhao didn't know if it was his own illusion, he felt that Li Yan was so attractive and attractive at this time, that she couldn't help but look at Li Yan's handsome face frequently.

Next, Li Yan told Li Qingzhao a lot about his enjoyment of the future, and told Li Qingzhao many things that made Li Qingzhao feel incredible.

For example, Li Yan told Li Qingzhao that iron can float on water, and this can be used to build iron boats.

For example, Li Yan told Li Qingzhao that steam can be used as power, and a steam engine can be used to power a ship.

For example, Li Yan told Li Qingzhao that the earth is round, and they actually live on a huge ball.

and many more……

If Li Yan was just talking wildly, then Li Qingzhao would just laugh it off.

But Li Yan was able to prove and explain his "fallacies and heresies".

Take iron that can float on water as an example.

Li Yan said that the imperial court had already built a batch of iron boats, and that batch of iron boats had been launched for sea trials not long ago, and he vowed to take Li Qingzhao to have a look in the future.

Take steam as an example.

Li Yan cited "boiling water can fly the lid of the pot" as an example.

Take the earth as an example.

Li Yan cited "when sailing on the sea, you will find that the most invisible part of the boat on the opposite side is always the drapery, not the bow" as an example.

None of Li Qingzhao could refute what Li Yan said.

Li Yan could easily overthrow many things that Li Qingzhao said.

Combined with Li Yan's profound insight and knowledge.

Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in the ages, was quickly brought into the ditch by Li Yan, and the only thing left to do was to listen.

But Li Yan was obviously in a good mood today, not only told Li Qingzhao a lot of things that Li Qingzhao had never heard of, but even gave Li Qingzhao a telegram, which made Li Qingzhao dizzy.
