Li Shimin

"Four catties?"

Immediately, all the nobles around who were already full of expectations exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has just counted in detail. There are eight ridges of sweet potatoes in this greenhouse, and there are 35 sweet potatoes planted in each ridge, so there are 280 sweet potatoes."

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who had been circling in the glass greenhouse, also came over and reported loudly.

"280 sweet potatoes?"

"The sweet potatoes dug out from these two litters weighed four catties!"

"In this way, this glass greenhouse can produce 120 catties!"

"hiss……"

In an instant, the Minister of Household Affairs calculated the production of sweet potatoes in a glass greenhouse.

"Your Majesty, eleven stones!"

"Eleven stone?"

All the nobles were shocked, looking at the glass shed in front of them, their expressions changed.

Many people have red eyes!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, this sweet potato can yield eleven stones per mu, and it is my Tang Xiangrui!"

"Your Majesty, if every family in my Tang Dynasty can grow sweet potatoes, wouldn't every family be able to harvest more than 200 shi of grain?"

"In this way, one year of planting is enough to feed a family for five years..."

"The blessing of the Tang Dynasty, the blessing of the country, the blessing of the common people..."

The more he talked, the more excited the ministers were.

"Xuanba?"

Li Shimin's eyes were also red, although he was already mentally prepared for a good harvest of sweet potatoes.

However, the yield of eleven stones per mu is still not fully mature, so Li Shimin is still very excited.

If the sweet potatoes are fully mature, how much can one acre harvest?
Thirteen stones?Fifteen stone? ...

You know, now that one acre of land in Datang is planted with rice and wheat, and one acre of land is only about two stones at most.

He could already imagine what kind of prosperity it would be if all the people in the Tang Dynasty could grow sweet potatoes?
"Your Majesty, sweet potatoes can only be used as an ordinary food, but they can't be used as a staple food. They still need to be eaten with rice and pasta!"

Li Xuan said.

"Can't it be a staple food?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others immediately calmed down.

Then, they all nodded slowly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can satisfy your hunger!"

Now, as long as you can eat enough, no one will go hungry!
"Your Majesty, potatoes and corn can be eaten as a staple food every day like rice and pasta!"

Li Xuan said again.

"Potatoes and corn?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others lit up instantly.

"Xuanba, where are the potatoes? Can they be harvested?"

"In the glass shed not far from next door!"

Li Xuan said calmly: "The potato seedlings are not withered yet, so it's not the best time to harvest!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, subconsciously looked at the sweet potato on the ground and asked, "Then Xuanba is this?"

"Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes are at their sweetest and tender at this time, and they will be the sweetest when steamed!"

Li Xuan explained.

"So, the sweet potatoes are not yet ready to eat?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others all had strange expressions on their faces.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan ignored it and nodded slowly.

"Such a delicious fetish, to be so wasted..."

Among the crowd, a minister suddenly said with some distress.

Some nobles even nodded slightly.

Like Li Shimin!
"This is a fetish that I personally found overseas with a group of disciples. I can eat whatever I want. Who can control me?"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and continued: "Besides, this king planted ten acres of sweet potatoes in his home village, and he can spread more than 100 shi of sweet potatoes. If this does not realize the freedom of sweet potatoes, then it is a waste!"

"Ten acres?"

Immediately, upon hearing these words, all the honorable ministers couldn't help but feel their hearts move, and there was a faint light in their eyes looking at Li Xuan.

Seeing this, Li Xuan didn't know what these ministers were thinking, so he just smiled lightly.

Then he said to Li Shimin: "Since Your Majesty is interested in glass greenhouses, why not go to the next door, corn can be eaten now!"

"Can I eat corn too?"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were shocked again.

"Xuanba, why are the corns in my shed still green and tender? When you pinch them, the corn kernels are full of water!"

"Your Majesty, it is this fresh and tender corn that is delicious!"

Li Xuan laughed lightly and said.

"How do you eat such tender corn?" Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others all looked closely at Li Xuan.

"Boil or bake!"

Li Xuan smiled softly, "This fresh and tender corn, after being boiled with water, tastes tender and sweet, the taste is unique!"

"Suck it..."

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the side.

Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others looked down, and found that kid Li Chenglu was looking at Li Xuan eagerly.

At the corner of the mouth, there is still a trace of crystal clear liquid.

"Hey, Aye, Chenglu also wants to eat corn!"

Li Chenglu smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to break a few pieces for my father, and cook them for you when I go back!"

Li Xuan pampered Li Chenglu's head with his hand, and walked out.

"it is good!"

Li Chenglu's face was full of joy.

Behind him, Wei Zheng, Hou Junji and other nobles looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, and followed.

"Let's go, today's lovers are all lucky!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the nobles were overjoyed immediately.

Li Xuan in the front ignored Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others behind him, and took Li Chenglu directly, turned left, passed through several glass sheds, and walked into a glass shed full of corn .

"I've seen the king! I've seen Xiao Lang!"

In the greenhouse, there is an old farmer who takes care of it.

Seeing Li Xuan coming in, he hurriedly saluted.

"I'll take Chenglu and break some corn!"

Li Xuan nodded, explained, and began to check one by one.

And the farmer who had just retreated to the side saw a large group of people squeezing in from outside.

Just when he was about to ask, he was startled, and then his face was full of excitement.

He knows the leader!

His Majesty is here too?
He hurriedly stood aside, not daring to say a word.

Li Shimin walked directly towards Li Xuan, watching Li Xuan's movements curiously.

Li Xuan took Li Chenglu, shuttled in front of the corn plants, inspecting and explaining.

"Cheng Lu, although these corns are edible, they need to be carefully selected."

"Look, this huge corn, you can see the corn kernels inside by opening the corn leaf."

"This corn is big, but the kernels inside are sparse, so it's not worth eating!"

"This one is also big, and the corn kernels inside are also full. When you squeeze it with your hands, a little water can be squeezed out of the corn kernels. It is neither old nor tender, and it is suitable for cooking..."

After turning dozens of stalks of corn, Li Xuan only broke off five corns.

Then, he was ready to leave.

Seeing this, Li Shimin looked anxious.

And the ministers behind them also shouted anxiously.

"His Majesty?"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin was startled.

Li Xuan also seemed to have noticed something, and turned to look at Li Shimin.

"Does Your Majesty want to eat corn?"

"That's why I would like to thank Xuan Ba!"

Li Shimin's heart relaxed, and he quickly said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, such a strange thing, can I wait to satisfy my hunger?"

Those nobles around couldn't bear it either, and shouted expectantly.
