Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 455

After the emperor went down to the field and started to break the corn, the farmers who had prepared for a long time also started to go to the field to break the corn.

Soon, sacks of corn were carried out, which caused bursts of amazement, and the eyes of the elders almost popped out.

They lived to the age when they were about to be buried in the earth, and it was the first time they saw such a big ear of rice and such a big grain of rice!

How much food does this acre of land produce!

I was so excited, all the elders were holding the corn as if they were having a convulsion. Su Cheng was very worried after seeing it, but don't get too excited and really convulse.

Good food, really good food, let the farmers in Zhuangzi grow corn when they go back, anyone who doesn't grow corn is a fool!

This is the voice of all the elders.

By the time Li Shimin came out of the corn field covered in sweat, the corn outside had piled up like a mountain.

Although it was very hot and tired, and he was itchy from the corn thorns, Li Shimin still couldn't help laughing out loud, because this was the joy of a good harvest.

Not only the joy of the harvest in this field, but he seems to see the bumper harvest of countless corn fields next year!

Next year will be of great significance to Datang, because the output of rice will almost double next year, and the corn harvest will also be bumper!

Su Cheng pretended to get out of the cornfield. Compared with Li Tai and the others' sweaty and embarrassed appearance, Su Cheng was still facing the wind.

Li Shimin glanced at Su Cheng, but he didn't blame him. Today, no one has the right to blame Su Cheng, because Su Cheng has made great contributions!

"Corn is really a treasure bestowed to me by God! What a good grain!" Li Shimin said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Holding several huge corns in his hands, Wei Zheng said excitedly, "The yield of corn is really huge! With corn, the common people don't have to be afraid of starvation anymore!"

"They're all smashed into the car and transported to the grain depot. Be careful, there must be no one left, and they will be kept as grain seeds next year!" Li Shimin ordered.

Su Cheng turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to let people carry the load one by one!"

Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "Oh? Could it be that grain like corn likes to be carried by people, and doesn't like to ride in a carriage?"

Su Cheng was speechless after hearing this. Does this sound plausible?

"What I mean is that if we choose to let the people understand corn more intuitively, next year when corn is promoted, there will be less resistance. Maybe everyone will actively plant it!" Su Cheng explained.

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "Su Cheng's words are reasonable. Although His Majesty and ministers all think that corn is a high-yield grain, the people who have never seen it may be skeptical based on hearsay."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That makes sense!"

Soldiers walked on the road carrying heavy burdens. On the burdens were yellow and orange corns, which became a spectacle in Chang'an.

The people on the side of the road all opened their mouths in surprise.

"so big!"

"Is this too big?"

"I've never seen one this big before!"

"Is this the legendary corn?"

"What a big rice!"

"My God, there are such big rice ears in the world!"

"Not only big, but also yellow!"

"Yeah, it's so yellow, it looks so tempting!"

……

Hearing it a thousand times or ten thousand times is not as convincing as seeing it with your own eyes.

Seeing corn with their own eyes, no matter who is conquered, I believe from the bottom of my heart that this is a high-yield grain!

What the hell?You ask if corn is good to eat?

Even the emperor and queen love to eat it but are reluctant to eat it. The emperor is heavily guarded, and Ankang County Duke can't help but secretly pick corn to eat. As a result, the emperor chased him with a musket and ran around the palace. Do you think corn is not delicious?

Even if the corn is not tasty, as long as it can fill your stomach!For poor people, being able to fill their stomachs is already the happiest thing!

Envoys from all over the world crowded in the crowd to see the true face of corn, and to see if corn was really as productive as the legend said.

Seeing the soldiers walking by carrying the corn, Princess Zhenzhu was stunned when she opened her small mouth slightly, and murmured: "It's so big! How can it be so big? Is this still rice? How can there be such a big rice? It's still yellow and bright." It looks so good, it looks so delicious! Prime Minister, can I buy some corn?"

However, Lu Dongzan had no time to talk to her at all, because he was also in shock. Although he also knew that since the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty paid so much attention to it, corn must be more productive than millet and sorghum, but he did not expect such a high yield.

How could there be such a big ear of rice in the world?

This God is too partial, right?

I don't know if they can grow corn in Tibet.

In the south, rice has two seasons a year, and in the north there is a high-yield crop such as corn. In the future, Datang will no longer be afraid of food shortages.

For Datang, this is a good thing, but for the countries around Datang, this is simply a bolt from the blue.

Goguryeo was making Gao Zheng very shocked when he looked at the loads of corn. He had always wanted to know what the corn was like, but now he finally saw it, but he found that the corn was far beyond his imagination.

At this moment, he was full of longing. If the people of Goguryeo also planted corn, how many people would be saved from starvation?

Gao Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his gaze to Yuan Gai Suwen beside him, and asked, "Su Wen, what do you think when you see this corn?"

Yuan Gai Su Wen said: "It is indeed a good grain with a high yield!"

Gao Zheng said in a low voice: "Su Wen, don't you have any ideas about such a bountiful grain?"

Yuan Gai Su Wen pondered: "Could it be that Mr. Gao wants to snatch it?"

grab?Gao Zheng was sluggish immediately, breaking out in a cold sweat at noon, why are you desperate?

Thanks to the low voice just now, if it was louder, everyone might have already lost their heads by now!

Gao Zhengzhen wished to stop Yuan Gai Suwen's mouth all at once, and whispered eagerly: "Don't talk nonsense, it will kill you!"

"Who do you think gave the corn? Ankang County Lord Su Cheng! You and Ankang County Lord have a good relationship, maybe you can get corn seeds from Ankang County Lord." Gao Zheng tried his best to lower his voice.

"Our Goguryeo is bitterly cold, and we have always been short of food. If we can bring corn seeds back to Goguryeo, the king will definitely reward us, and the poems and books will definitely praise us. This is a great achievement, even after thousands of years. There will always be people thanking us, if you don’t believe me, look at Su Cheng’s position in Datang?"

I have to say that what Gao Zheng said is very reasonable, corn will spread in Tang Dynasty, and it will definitely spread to Goguryeo in a few years, but at that time, merits and virtues have nothing to do with them.

However, if we bring the corn seeds back to Goguryeo now, they will definitely be rewarded by the king, and will be praised by the ruling and opposition parties, and their prosperity is just around the corner!

This is an excellent opportunity, Yuan Gai Suwen nodded and said: "Master Gao is right, not for our fame and fortune, but for the people of Goguryeo to stop starving, even if I beg hard, I will Ask for the corn seeds too!"
