People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 85 A bucket of rice beats a hero

"Then I ask you, now that the war in Liangzhou is urgent, I need a lot of food, and now most of the food is in the hands of five families, how can you teach me?"

Li Zheng sighed and said, "The wind is very noisy today."

again!

Whether it is bearable or unbearable, Li Shimin really wants to chop up this bastard with a knife now.

I have never seen such a shameless person before.

Li Shimin took out a piece of silver cake prepared in advance and asked, "What should I do?"

Accepting the silver cake indifferently, Li Zheng said, "How much food is needed for the Liangzhou war."

"Five hundred stones!"

Li Zheng sighed: "It's really a bucket of rice to beat a hero. Your Majesty is in a hurry now, right?"

Can you be in a hurry?

Everyone is calling at the door, as long as there is food that can last for a month.

Waiting for the harvest of the Central Plains grain, with the grain and the brigade of soldiers and horses, they were full of spit and looking for teeth.

A bucket of rice can beat a hero and a hero, and Li Shimin is now a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

If you have food, you can say anything, but without food, soldiers and horses cannot be sent out.

Li Shimin said to Li Zheng: "If you have five hundred stone grains in your hand now, I will buy it from you now."

"Cough cough..."

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to believe that I have five hundred stone of grain."

Li Shimin knew the situation in Jingyang County, and Li Zheng could not be able to grow [-] shi of grain just by relying on these wastelands.

What is the concept of [-] shi, an ordinary county can have [-] shi of grain, and it is already a bumper harvest, even if the harvest of all the fields in Jingyang is not [-] shi.

Not to mention the wasteland of Li Zheng, even the wasteland cannot be higher than the harvest of those fertile fields.

Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng and said, "Can you take out five hundred stone of grain?"

Li Zheng grinned and said, "What if I can take it out?"

Li Shimin said, "What if I can't take it out?"

"I took out five hundred shi of grain. You can't let me become an official in the court in the future, and then give me the entire Jingyang County, including the three li surrounding Jingyang County."

"If you can't get [-] stone of grain, you will enter the dynasty and become an official. Not only that, but you must also do your best for our state affairs and help me settle the five clans!"

"make a deal!"

"can."

Li Zheng looked at Li Tai not far away and said, "Fatty! Tell your father how much food we have in Jingyang County now."

Li Tai thought for a while and said, "About eight hundred stones."

Eight hundred stones...

Eight hundred stones!Fang Xuanling held Li Tai and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei is true."

Li Tai said: "I haven't weighed it carefully, but it's only more or less."

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said, "Qing Que is no joke, tell me the truth!"

Li Tai hesitated and said, "Maybe it's more than eight hundred stones, maybe nine hundred stones!"

Nine hundred stones? !

Fang Xuanling's expression became more and more flustered, and she whispered to Li Tai: "His Royal Highness King Wei, this matter is no joke."

Li Shimin shouted again: "Tell me the truth!"

Li Tai looked terrified, "There should be more than 1000 stones."

How to say more and more!
As far as Jingyang is concerned, there can be more than 1000 shi of grain, what the hell.

Li Shimin shouted again: "Qing Que, do you know what you are talking about?"

Li Tai broke into a cold sweat, "Father, what my son said this time is absolutely true. There are indeed more than a thousand stone."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng, and Li Tai didn't seem to be talking nonsense.

Fang Xuanling asked anxiously, "Where does Jingyang get so much food?"

Li Tai explained in a panic: "The yield of potatoes alone can reach forty stone per mu."

"Forty stone grain per mu? Is there such grain?"

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng and said, "Li Zheng said that among the potato varieties, there is indeed so much grain in corn and sweet potatoes now."

"Even if the people of Jingyang County don't work for a year, they won't be able to finish eating the grains for a year."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng, "Do you really have [-] per mu of grain?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "What? You are not allowed to default on your debts now. The entire Jingyang area is three miles around Jingyang."

Fang Xuanling thought about Li Zheng's request, the entire Jingyang has about 2000 mu of land, and if the surrounding three miles are included, it is estimated to be [-] mu.

In this way, Li Zheng owns more land than a county seat.

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "If you don't make jokes, of course you won't blame you."

Taking a few people to the granary, Li Zheng opened the doors of the granary and said, "My food is all here."

Eight granaries have been built here, and it seems that there are still being built in the distance.

Picking up the potatoes, Li Shimin said, "Is this a potato? Can you produce forty stone per mu?"

Li Zheng nodded, "The yield per mu is four or five thousand catties. In your words, it is about forty or fifty stone."

Fang Xuanling watched blankly, the whole person was in an erratic state.

Even walking is a little unsteady.

Four or five thousand pounds?Forty stone per mu?

The output of millet in the Tang Dynasty is [-] catties per mu, which is not bad for four or five stones.

Potatoes go straight up tenfold.

What does this mean?
Datang's grain output has increased tenfold, and agriculture can almost be reborn.

Li Zheng continued: "Four or five thousand catties can only be said to be normal. If the land is better, it can reach six thousand catties."

Li Junxian looked at the filled granaries. Each granary here could store six or seven hundred shi of grain.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were not too particular about growing grain. Things like millet were better grown along the river beaches, and the yield was not high.

If the weather changes, a drought may result in no harvest or a significant reduction in harvest.

If it is said that the people take food as their heaven, they still have to look at the face of God to eat.

God is not happy, too many people are going to have no food to eat.

Li Zheng said: "Actually, I am also very worried. I can't finish eating so much food here. Maybe it will be used to raise pigs."

Li Junxian asked, "Are you going to use these to raise pigs?"

Li Zheng scratched his head, "I couldn't finish it."

The output of potatoes is indeed very high. If you put it in the future, you can buy two or three catties for one dollar.There are also many that are used as feed to barely digest the excess production.

This Li is not starving, right?
Li Junxian asked, "Is this potato unpalatable?"

Li Tai said: "It's not bad, the stewed pork is delicious."

Li Shimin glared at Li Tai.

Li Tai had no choice but to shut up.

Li Shimin's eyes were staring at Tudou, and his eyes were almost red.

Forty shi of grain per mu.

If these grains can be widely planted in Datang, many people in Datang will not be hungry.

With enough food, Datang's population problem can be solved.

The lives of ordinary people can also be much better.

Li Shimin knew very well in his heart that all dynasties and dynasties valued food.

Even the old grain will not be thrown away easily, as long as the old grain can still be eaten, it will be kept.
