People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 87 It turns out to be two old foxes

Changsun Wuji knew about the lack of grain in the DPRK. He heard that many princes also came to offer grain, so he hurriedly came to offer grain.

At first, I was hesitant. After all, there is only so much food at home.

Since everyone has done this, it is not good for me not to do it myself.

The eunuch stopped Changsun Wuji and said, "Empress Zhao, Your Majesty is not in the palace."

Zhangsun Wuji was standing outside the Hall of Nectar. At such a critical time, where could His Majesty go without being here.

The eunuch said again: "If there is anything wrong with Duke Zhao, you can leave a message, and the old slave will tell His Majesty on his behalf."

Zhangsun Wuji said to the eunuch, "The old man will come back later."

Turning to leave, Zhangsun Wuji asked, "Where did Your Majesty go at this time?"

"The old slave also knows that His Majesty didn't say that he went out with Fang Xiang."

Zhangsun Wuji nodded, could it be that His Majesty is looking for someone with five surnames?
The eunuch smiled and said, "Gong Gong Zhao, please come back."

Jingyang
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling devoured the stewed pork with potatoes.

Li Zheng's cooking skills are very good. A bowl of beef stew with potatoes has already made Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling three bowls of rice.

Li Junxian turned his head away from watching this scene, His Majesty actually eats pork so deliciously.

Your Majesty is really a wise man, even such a cheap pork is delicious.

Heart moved, His Majesty in order to experience the suffering of the people is really hard.

Fang Xuanling took a sip of the soup and pointed to another pot of vegetables and said, "What is this dish?"

"This is a pumpkin." Li Zheng also said lightly.

"Pumpkin? Never heard of it, is it also a new food?"

Li Zheng said: "This pumpkin can be eaten as food, but it is also a vegetable."

Fang Xuanling took a bite and said, "It's really soft and glutinous, how is the yield?"

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "This pumpkin is hard to say. Generally speaking, the yield per mu is [-] catties. If the vines are erected with supports, the space saving can reach tens of thousands of catties per mu, that is, [-] stone per mu. To a hundred stone."

Ten thousand catties per mu?
Fang Xuanling stood up, "Is what you said true?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin coughed violently.

He was obviously taken aback by Li Zheng's words.

Li Tai carefully patted Li Shimin on the back.

After a while, Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng and said, "I ask you, the yield per mu is ten thousand catties, but is it true?"

Li Tai brought a pumpkin from the kitchen and said, "Father, this is a pumpkin."

Looking at the pumpkin the size of the mill, Li Shimin was speechless for a while.

"How did this come out?"

Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Li Zheng glanced at the bowl of stewed vegetables with pig's trotters, which was completely eaten.

It's really enough to eat, and this amount of food is probably beyond the reach of Li Tai.

Li Zheng was thinking about what happened to being the emperor now?Haven't eaten meat yet.

Seeing that a few people didn't believe it, Li Zheng took them to the pumpkin patch.

A bamboo shed is set up here, and the vines of the pumpkin are wrapped around the bamboo frame.

Li Shimin looked at the pumpkins the size of a grinding plate, and sighed, "I didn't expect such a big melon to grow on such a thin vine."

Haven't seen it before, Li Tai said proudly: "Father, although the pumpkin is big, it is easy to rot and needs to be taken care of."

Li Shimin nodded and was still observing the pumpkins.

Fang Xuanling sighed, "How long will this pumpkin be enough for a family to eat?"

Li Zheng said helplessly: "It won't take long to eat, the pumpkins are easy to rot. If you pick them fresh, you should eat them earlier. If you can't finish eating them, they will be distributed to other villages. If they don't rot, they can only be fed to pigs."

"Feed the pigs?" Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "It's a waste."

Li Zheng said: "What else can we do? People can't eat it if it's rotten. It can only be used to feed pigs. Pigs also dislike it. If the feed is mixed, pigs will not be willing to eat it."

Li Shimin recalled that the taste of this pumpkin was really good.

After a full burp, Li Shimin said, "I'm very full."

Fang Xuanling's expression became more and more excited. At first, Li Zheng said that he didn't believe it, but now it seems that this pumpkin really has a yield of [-] catties per mu.

Mainly because the pumpkins are too big.

Even breathing became cramped, and the people were saved.

Knowing the origin of these crops before Li Zheng is nonsense, but it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that these grains are located in Jingyang, in Datang.

That's the most important thing.

It is also strange in my heart that I have never seen these grains, let alone never seen them, even if they are planted, it is a problem.

But Li Zheng can grow it, or does Li Zheng know the origin of these crops from the beginning and how to grow these grains?
Fang Xuanling shook off these suspicions, and saluted Li Zheng: "Jingyang County, please accept the old man's salute."

Li Zheng hurriedly helped him, "Don't be like this, you are a big man, I can't bear it."

Fang Xuanling still bowed and said, "You can bear this ceremony! You saved the people of Datang."

"It's over, it's over." Li Zheng said.

What a joke!
Who is Fang Xuanling?

In later commentaries, he was a figure worthy of admiration and admiration.

Li Zheng helped him up and hurriedly returned the salute.

Li Shimin saw the red, fist-sized fruit sprinkled on the side of the field and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a tomato." Li Zheng picked a few and handed them to them.

"tomato?"

Li Zheng took a bite and said, "A fruit and vegetable."

Li Shimin took a bite and said, "Yeah! Very refreshing."

Fang Xuanling also took a bite, and the juice splashed, and the bite with the skin was a little sour, but the juice was very rich.

"How about the yield of these fruits and vegetables?"

Li Zheng said: "This is an ordinary fruit, and the output is not very good. Anyway, let's play cards when we have nothing to do."

"Playing cards?"

Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin were both dumbfounded.

"What is poker?"

Li Tai explained: "Father, playing cards is a game, and now the elderly in the village like to play."

"Really? Then I'll try it too?"

Ask Li Tai to bring cards made of bamboo boards from home.

Several people sat around the river and started playing cards.

The gameplay is not difficult to understand, after explaining it several times and playing a few games.

Both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling already understood how to play.

chirp...

Fang Xuanling took a bite of the tomato and played a pair of threes.

Li Shimin: "One pair of five!"

Li Zheng pondered the cards in his hand, the understanding of Li Er and Fang Xuanling is good.

After playing a few rounds this time, the two of them played with perfection, and they could count cards by inferences.

So far, he has lost a huge sum of ten pennies.

"It's your turn." Li Shimin picked up the tomato and took a bite.

chirp...

Juice splashes.

Fang Xuanling said, "Hurry up, I will go back later and deal with the affairs of the state."

Li Zheng played a card: a pair of ten.

Fang Xuanling also played a card: "A pair of kings."

Li Shimin: "A pair of A's."

Li Zheng: "..."

Fang Xuanling: "A pair of two."

Li Shimin: "Yes, no."

Li Zheng looked at the only one Xiao Wang and a bunch of single cards in his hand.
