Li Shimin

Chapter 657 Breaking the Corn

Immediately, they were all surprised.

"Seven stones per mu!"

"This is the staple food!"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at the baskets of potatoes again, their eyes shining brightly.

"In this way, the people of Tang Dynasty have another delicious staple food!"

"Xuanba, with this fetish, my Tang Dynasty will definitely prosper!"

"..."

Looking at Li Shimin and all the honorable ministers who were in the carnival, Li Xuan said hastily again.

"Your Majesty, there is still corn, and the corn hasn't been broken yet!"

Li Shimin woke up again, this time without waiting for Li Xuan, he ran out on his own.

The glass greenhouse where the corn was planted, he remembered which one it was.

"His Majesty……?"

Behind him, looking at the shed where Li Shimin rushed into where they often ate corn, Li Xuan glanced at his mouth helplessly.

Turn around and walk to another shed on the side.

After Li Shimin entered the glass shed, he stood there in a daze, looking at the situation inside the shed with a look of disbelief.

The next moment, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie and others also followed in directly.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Cheng Zhijie's face changed greatly, his eyes widened, and he shouted anxiously: "Corn? What kind of prodigal son is this, to spoil these corns so much?"

Originally, there were only a few sparsely planted corns left.

What's more, these corn plants are crooked and stunted at first glance!

"Even the corn stalks are gone!"

Li Shimin also muttered to himself in a low voice with helplessness, and then hurried out.

"Your Majesty, Master is in this shed!"

Outside the greenhouse, Li Baoding reported to Li Shimin.

"What happened to the corn in this greenhouse?"

Li Shimin caught Li Baoding and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, Master and Chenglu have eaten them all!"

Li Baoding replied casually.

"Eat all?"

Li Shimin was taken aback.

"Yes!" Li Baoding clapped his hands again in response.

On the side, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie and others who came out also had weird faces.

"Where are those corn stalks?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"It was also eaten!"

Li Baoding replied.

"Can corn stalks be eaten?"

Now, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were shocked.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the corn stalks were all eaten by the horses and cattle raised in the village!"

Li Baoding quickly explained, "Besides, those horses and cattle also like to eat corn stalks very much!"

"I see!"

After listening, Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then walked into the glass shed where Li Xuan entered.

After entering, my eyes lit up, this is what a corn shed should be like.

The entire greenhouse is densely covered with corn stalks as tall as a person.

There are one or two ears of corn growing on each planting stalk!

And the ministers and nobles he brought were like a group of farmers, imitating Xue Rengui and others, breaking off the ears of corn with all their strength, and carefully putting them in the horse basket beside them.

And beside the horse basket, a group of soldiers were already sitting, holding a sharp iron rod in their hands, they easily slid into the ears of corn, and then a neat gap appeared on the ears of corn.

Pieces of golden corn kernels were skillfully peeled into the basket below by those soldiers.

After a few breaths, there was only a dry corn cob left in his hand.

Throwing it aside, the soldiers picked up another ear of corn and began to peel the corn.

"Your Majesty, only these small corn kernels can be eaten. As for these corn cobs and corn stalks, they can be eaten by horses and cattle!"

Seeing Li Shimin's curious face, Li Xuan explained.

"I see!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, then turned around and joined the corn breaking army.

After half an hour.

All the corn in this glass greenhouse was broken off, and all the corn kernels were also peeled off, and eight large baskets were put into them.

But Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and the others were talking with Li Chang and the others while remembering.

"620 pounds!"

Finally, under the expectant eyes of Li Shimin, Li Yuan and others, Li Chengqian reported with a trembling voice.

"620 pounds!"

"Hahaha, God bless me Datang!"

"God bless me Tang!"

"My Great Tang will surely prosper..."

Immediately, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were all excited.

This time, without Li Xuan's reminder, Li Shimin quickly calmed down.

Looking expectantly at Li Xuan.

"Xuanba, haven't you planted twenty acres of corn? What's more, those corns need to be broken off too!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, all the glass greenhouses around are planted with corn!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and said: "Also, in those big sheds, there are already a group of farmers and princes who are starting to break corn!"

"Very good!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, then walked directly outside.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and other ministers Xungui also had a happy expression and hurriedly followed out.

then.

After a while, all the ministers and nobles in the shed left completely.

All the ministers and nobles spontaneously formed groups, got into the sheds one by one, and began to break the corn skillfully!

Li Xuan stretched out his head to look, as if he was alone and had nothing to do!
In desperation, he walked into a large shed at will.

Then, sitting on a small stool, he began to peel the corn slowly.

Although there are many people, there is great strength.

But helpless, the place is small.

Plus too much corn.

Another hour passed.

The more than 2000 farmers in Lijiazhuang, together with the dozens of princes and nobles brought by Li Shimin, were able to peel the corn in four large sheds.

The only thing that makes sense is that the corn in the twenty greenhouses has been broken off from the corn planting stalks and neatly stacked in baskets.

"Grandfather, Aye, Master, the corn in these four rooms is 650 catties each."

"680 pounds!"

"590 pounds!"

"630 pounds!"

After Li Chengqian slowly finished his report, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and other great Tang dignitaries were all overjoyed again.

It's just that, this time, every minister and honorable person is exhausted and out of breath, and has no energy to scream and make noise.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, facing Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, they all slightly arched their hands.

"Thank you for coming to help harvest sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn this time!"

"Xuanba, don't be polite!"

"Exactly, His Royal Highness Jin is too polite. This time, His Royal Highness Jin has worked so hard to find so many gods for my Tang Dynasty from overseas continents. It's time for me to thank His Royal Highness Jin!"

"Extremely, extremely..."

Li Shimin and a group of ministers and nobles quickly expressed their gratitude.

"makes sense!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan nodded slowly, "I also said that as a thank you, I would send two catties of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn to each of you. Since you don't need it, it just so happens that you don't need to waste your energy!"

"..."

Hearing this, the faces of all the honorable ministers froze, and then hurriedly shouted.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, don't misunderstand!"

"Exactly, His Royal Highness Jin Wang, don't misunderstand, we are very greedy for the few catties of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn that Jin Wang said!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

With that said, all the ministers and nobles looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

It's been so long, no honorable minister has taken the initiative to disclose this matter to those aristocratic families.
