Li Shimin

Chapter 336 Breeding
"His Royal Highness King Jin, I am here on His Majesty's order, and exchange a hundred stones with the king for breeding!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Shu was still a little uneasy.

Wei Shu is a member of Du Ling's Wei family. In the rumors of these family members, Li Xuan has long been demonized.

Although the name of the great sage Li Xuan was also passed down by these aristocratic families, it was all for the purpose of flattering and killing Li Xuan.However, they didn't expect that the more they flattered and murdered, the more His Royal Highness Prince Jin acted unscrupulously. For people from aristocratic families like them, anyone who provokes them will definitely be severely punished.

Moreover, the most important thing is that suffering from the virtuous name of His Royal Highness King Jin being passed down to the world, their aristocratic families should not provoke His Highness Jin too much.

Therefore, in the face of Li Xuan, Wei Shu and other aristocratic families were cautious, for fear of offending Li Xuan and being severely beaten.

They have no place to reason.

"Li Chang, hand over the one hundred shi for breeding to Sinongqing, let them examine it carefully, and then exchange it for grain!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, he was also worried about these aristocratic families.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin!"

Wei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that His Royal Highness Prince Jin did not mean to embarrass him.

Afterwards, Wei Shu hurriedly followed Li Chang to check the breeding one by one.

The more he checked, the more frightened Wei Shu became, and then his face was full of excitement.

"May I ask Steward Li, are these breeding crops newly harvested?"

"Exactly!"

Regarding Wei Shu, Li Chang dared not take Wei Shu seriously.Especially the position of Minister of Agriculture, all the people in the world must respect him.

"The official inspected it carefully, and all of these breeding grains are very full, even larger than all the rice in the world!"

Wei Shu exhaled lightly, a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"What Si Nongqing said is exactly what the paddy rice produced by Dawang's paddy field is, each of which is very large and full!"

Hearing this, Li Chang said proudly.

"Thank you, Steward Li, for letting me know!"

A gleam of joy flashed in Wei Shu's eyes, he slightly cupped his hands at Li Chang, and hurriedly walked in front of Li Xuan.

"My Majesty, I have inspected all the rice. There are 150 shi of freshly grown rice in these carts. His Majesty sent an official to replace the grain bred by the King. Please send someone to check it!"

At this time, Wei Shu finally understood why His Majesty had to add half of the grain to exchange for rice seeds.

If this kind of top-quality breeding is placed in their Wei family, they can get twice as much food in exchange for breeding...

"Ok?"

Thinking about it, Wei Shu was taken aback, and then returned to normal.

"150 stone?"

Hearing Wei Shu's words, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and he soon understood.

He nodded slightly, and sent Li Chang to take someone to receive it.

As for the inspection, Li Chang only did a rough inspection, and then led someone to put the rice back into the barn.

After Wei Shu and the others left, Li Xuan once again said to the happy Li Chang and the farmers.

"Everyone, four stones per mu in a paddy field is rare in the ages, but everyone, don't forget the big fat fish grown in the paddy fields. You should catch some and eat them, or bring them into the city to sell."

"In addition, the title deed of the [-] mu of wasteland next to Zhuangzi is also in the hands of the king. After the autumn harvest, you need to reclaim those wastelands, plant vegetables in glass greenhouses in winter, and plant paddy fields in spring!"

After hearing this, all the farmers were startled for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely reclaim the two thousand acres of barren land before winter!"

More than half of these farm households followed Li Xuan to grow vegetables in glass greenhouses last winter. Not only did each of them earn dozens of dollars, but they could also eat vegetables in the city that the rich and powerful could not eat. How profitable is a glass greenhouse.

Moreover, planting this kind of paddy field can produce four stones per mu, which is equivalent to two acres of the fields they planted before, and the fat fish in the field can be eaten as much as you like.

Such a day was something they never dared to imagine!
"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

However, he didn't know that in Chang'an City, especially in Liangyi Hall, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others all turned green immediately after seeing the rice in Li Shimin's hands.

"Your Majesty, is the paddy field on His Royal Highness' Zhuangzi really producing four stones per mu?"

"Not only does it produce four stones per mu, but there are also a lot of fat fish in the paddy fields. If you bring those water fish, it can be said that the yield is five stones per mu!"

Li Shimin said with a proud face.

"So, starting next year, this kind of paddy fields will have to be planted in my village!"

"I will also plant..."

"Your Majesty, if we use rice like King Jin's for breeding, wouldn't the rice we grow be better?"

"As it should be!"

"Your Majesty, I'm going to find His Royal Highness Jin Wang tomorrow, and replace it with a twenty-stone breeding!"

"I have asked Secretary Nongqing to take 150 shi of the newly recovered rice to Xuanba Village in exchange for [-] shi of rice!"

"Your Majesty actually directly overflowed by half?"

"This kind of high-quality rice, the overflow is half, it is still very worthwhile!"

"Exactly, if those aristocratic families know about this kind of high-quality rice, not to mention half of the overflow, even if it is double the overflow, they will rush to exchange it..."

As he spoke, Li Xiaogong's subconscious expression changed slightly.

At the same time, the expressions of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui on the side also changed slightly.

He quickly looked at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Agriculture, Wei Shu, also went to Prince Jin Zhuangzi?"

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, "According to the time, Wei Shu will be back soon!"

Hearing this, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other subconsciously, and then bowed their hands to Li Shimin together.

"Your Majesty, as soon as Wei Shu knows about it, it means that the Wei family also knows about it. The ministers and other Zhuangzi also need this kind of cheating breeding, and the ministers will retire first!"

"Go!"

A smile appeared in Li Shimin's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others hurriedly resigned.

He walked out of Tai Chi Palace quickly, got into his own carriage, and urged the driver to run to the house quickly.

In less than a while.

From the mansions of Su Guogong, Wei Guogong, Cai Guogong, Qi Guogong, and Hejian County Prince's Mansion, several guards rushed out of the courtyard, and rode their horses to the nearest Zhuangzi.

At the same time, there were also a group of servants, carrying the messages from Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others, to the palaces of the princes and ministers who had good acquaintance with each other.

In less than a moment, the houses of the top dignitaries in Chang'an City began to make noise.

Wei Shu was stunned when he heard the news.

He was also planning to send someone to inform Du Ling's family of the news, but who would have thought that those ministers in Chang'an City would know about this matter before him.

However, at this time, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others had already hurried to the gate of Li's Village.

As for Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others, as the eldest sons of their respective houses, they were sent to their respective Zhuangzi to preside over the autumn harvest.

And after hearing the message from the nursing home in the mansion, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others hurriedly ordered their servants to prepare the newly harvested rice, loaded it into the car, and rushed to Li's Village.

"Everyone came here in such a hurry, I don't know what's the matter?"

But at this moment, in Li Family Manor, looking at Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others who appeared in front of him with green eyes, Li Xuan looked puzzled.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Jin, we are here for breeding!"

Fang Xuanling said hastily.
