    Seeing Liu Deng's excitement, Du Ziteng quickly wiped his nosebleed and stood up, followed Liu Deng towards Liu Deng's study.

    There is a huge sand table in Liu Deng's study, which is a topographic map of the entire Dai Kingdom.

    Liu Deng now needs to find a suitable place for these sweet potatoes to grow. First of all, the place must be secretive, and then the place must be large enough. According to the seeds currently in Liu Deng's hands, at least thousands of acres of land can be planted.

    After searching for a long time, Liu Deng finally found a satisfactory place. The valley at the confluence of Hutuo River and Changle River is surrounded by mountains. Only in the middle of the valley is a plain with a size of several thousand acres hidden!

    The soil in the valley area is fertile, and the water source makes it easier to irrigate. Liu Deng believes that with the terrifying yield of sweet potatoes, once the valley area is fully planted, it will not take long for the food crisis in the entire country to be completely lifted.

    Why choose such a secret place?

    Of course, it was to catch Liu Bi off guard. At this time, several princes and kings were getting tighter and tighter on Dai's food blockade.

    Liu Deng obviously won the battle, but now the food crisis is getting worse. After all, there are tens of thousands more horses all of a sudden, and the appetite of these things is terrifying.

    There is not enough pasture to support them at this time in the Kingdom of Dai.

    Therefore, Liu Deng can only bite the bullet and use food to feed his horses.

    King Liang finally got a message back to Liu Deng. In order to repay Liu Deng¡¯s 5,000 horses, King Liang squeezed out 50,000 bunches of fodder through his teeth.

    However, compared to the huge food gap, such a small amount of fodder can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

    "But it's no wonder that King Liang is the king of Liang. Now is the time when there is a shortage of food. Even the landlords have no food left in their homes."

    However, fortunately, it is already March. If we persist for a while, as long as it comes to May, the rations of this war horse will naturally be solved.

    "Go and take this thing to Chen Qi now, and tell Mr. Chen Qi that I will give him 10 days to rent or buy all the land with a radius of 5,000 acres! I don't care what he spends  How much money will it cost to move all the people around here?"

    While Liu Deng was talking, he found a map on his bookshelf. Unlike other maps, this map was almost completely copied from the sand table.

    Although the accuracy may not be comparable to the maps of later generations, it is much better than the postmodern abstract paintings of today.

    Use a quill pen to draw a huge circle on the map, completely including the entire valley where the Hutuo River and Changle River meet, and then said to Du Ziteng.

    "No!"

    Du Ziteng didn't dare to delay, so he quickly picked up the map and hurried to find Chen Qi.

    After sending Du Ziteng out, Liu Deng began to toss and turn again. After all, he had the land, but the candidate was still a problem. Who should he send?

    Among the people around him now, there are only a few generals leading the army. He can't send those generals, right?

    Wen Ge is going to be sent to the Huns this time. He will not be able to take on this job in a short time. Li Guang and Guan Fu are too high-status now, and doing this thing is too eye-catching.

    As for the two brothers, Su Jian and Zou Yang, they have made their mark in this battle against the Huns. However, all the generals in the Fushi War were probably in vain. Now it seems that they are the only two brothers.  Only then can we do this.

    But before doing this, Liu Deng still needs to discuss it carefully with them. After all, a general with a great future and who had just won a battle was actually sent to farm by him. If he didn't tell them properly,  To tell him clearly would probably chill their hearts.

    "Sir, the king has sent a guard to ask for an audience!"

    Chen Qi has been really busy recently. After the emperor came, all kinds of weird things happened in the whole country.

    After finally finishing the matter, he just lay down and was immediately woken up by the old housekeeper. But when he heard that he was someone close to the king, Chen Qi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could something have happened again?  Yet?

    After all, the emperor is in Jinyang City now. Even though he knows that the palace is heavily guarded and nothing can go wrong, the string in his heart is still tight.

    "Where is the person?"

      Chen Qiteng sat up immediately.

    "We are waiting in the living room now, do you think?"

    The old housekeeper asked with some anxiety.

    "Wait for me outside!"

    Chen Qi couldn't live that much anymore. He hurriedly put on his robe and boots without even bothering to tidy up his hair, so he hurried out.

    " Captain Du? You came here late at night, but what's the matter? "

    After seeing that the person coming was Du Ziteng, Chen Qi's heart suddenly tightened.

    ¡°After all, Du Ziteng has been by Liu Deng¡¯s side all year round, almost never leaving him. It is definitely not an ordinary matter for him to come and report in person.

    "Master Chen, the king asked you to clear this place within ten days! All the land will be bought or rented, and all the people and empty spaces will be cleared!"

    Du Ziteng did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly handed over the map in his hands.

    "Such a big piece? I'm afraid it won't be thousands of acres! Did the king say what to do?"

    As the internal history of the Dai Kingdom, Chen Qi had almost all the mountains and rivers of the Dai Kingdom in his mind. After just taking a look at the map, Chen Qi was stunned.

    This fertile river valley is located between two mountains and has two rivers passing through it. This land is a rare irrigated land. You can tell with your buttocks that the owner of this land is definitely not an ordinary person.

    "This king didn't say anything. He only said that no matter how much money is spent, this land must be cleared within 10 days and all the people must be moved away!"

    Since Liu Deng didn't tell Du Ziteng, he could tell Chen Qi about the sweet potatoes, but Du Ziteng couldn't mention a word about it. He still understood this point of propriety.

    "It seems that the king has made a big move, but it may be a little troublesome to do this Go back and report to the king, and say that within 10 days, Chen Qi will definitely do it properly!"

    Since the king has said this, it seems that the king is about to make a big move again, and Chen Qi even feels a little excited.

    "It's just that it's not an easy task to clear out all the people here within 10 days.

    After all, the water network here is dense, the land is fertile, and the people of the Han Dynasty have a strong sense of rurality!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
