God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 842 Auspiciousness
The ministers craned their necks one after another.

After all, it's about betting.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "It sounds incredible, but I think that there is no need to make a fuss about any strange things happening on the farm. In the agricultural research institute where I work, someone can graft peach trees On the pear tree, it is said that the peaches bear no sour taste, are full of water, and are sweet and delicious, and this son-in-law has never heard of it before!"

Zhang Xuansu stomped his feet angrily.

Your Highness, you have changed!
Li Er laughed: "Since the crown prince believes it, why don't you take everyone to see it. Du He, I don't know where is the thing you mentioned that produces a thousand catties per mu?"

Du He pointed to his feet: "Your Majesty, it's right here!"

Everyone looked left, right, up, and down, and there was nothing but some withered leaves.

Everyone looked at Du He dumbfounded.

Du He smiled helplessly: "Of course it's underground! It needs to be dug out!"

With that said, Du He was about to call someone over.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian suddenly said excitedly: "I am here, I am here to dig it up for everyone!"

After all, Li Chengqian turned around and ran not far away. He actually ran over with a hoe on his shoulders, and started digging up at his feet.

Du He stood aside and commented: "Your Majesty, my lords, you see, when His Royal Highness uses a hoe, his body swings back and forth with the hoe, but his feet remain motionless, which saves energy. He looks like a master at first glance." , and, if you look carefully, his right hand firmly holds the top of the hoe handle, and his left hand slides with the swing of his body. In this way, he can exert the maximum effect of the hoe. Without moving his body, he can easily control the hoe to land position, this is not something that ordinary people can do..."

Du He explained it very carefully.

Everyone listened and observed Li Chengqian.

Li Eryi was a little complacent at first, but on second thought, didn't he call his son a farmer?

So he turned his head angrily, and glared at Du He: "Shut up!"

"Oh!" Du He didn't care, and shouted, "Your Highness, come on!"

When the other ministers saw this, they thought they couldn't let this chance of flattering them go, and they all shouted, "Your Highness, come on!"

"come on!"

Amidst the sound of cheering, Li Chengqian suddenly threw away the hoe and lay down on the ground to plan.

Then, I saw him standing up excitedly, holding an oval object as big as two fists in his hand.

"I dug it up!"

"Ha ha……"

Li Chengqian was as happy as a fool.

Everyone gathered around.

"What is this?"

"It actually grew in the soil?"

"Why have I never seen it?"

"Could it be that this is what the Duke of Huyi said, that every mu yields a thousand catties?"

"Amazing!"

Zhang Xuansu snorted: "Du He, when you bet, you said that this thing with a yield of one thousand catties per mu is grain and can be eaten, but from the old man's point of view, this thing grows in the soil and cannot be eaten at all. , you lost!"

Without waiting for Du He to respond.

Li Chengqian suddenly took a bite.

A click.

The thing was bitten off by him.

He chewed quickly, swallowed it, and said excitedly: "Father, you can eat it, you can eat it...Although the taste is a bit weird, you can eat it!"

Zhang Xuansu also grabbed it and took a bite, and finally said: "It is indeed edible, but even if it is edible, it is impossible for this thing to yield a thousand catties per mu. Du He, you still lose."

Du He: "..."

But Li Chengqian picked up the hoe and started digging again.

Then, everyone was surprised to find out.

Under that one seedling, five things of about the same size were dug out.

There are five in one plant?
What about an acre?

Someone's eyes widened suddenly.

Li Er's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Du He, set aside an acre of land and get someone to dig it!"

At this moment, on the contrary, he couldn't wait.

Just as Du He was going to make arrangements, Li Chengqian said excitedly: "No need, let me do this."

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhang Xuansu and walked into the ground.

Zhang Xuansu shouted: "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Li Chengqian said: "Teacher, you go digging with Bengong."

"Your Highness, I have a leg problem!"

"No, you didn't!"

Therefore, Li Chengqian dragged Zhang Xuansu into the field and gave Zhang Xuansu a hoe.

Li Chengqian pointed to his feet, "Teacher, let's dig!"

Zhang Xuansu wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only wave the hoe silently.

Soon, Li Chengqian led his people, marked out an area of ​​one mu of land, directed dozens of farmers, and began to plan.

Li Er led his group of officials and stood aside, their eyes wide open, for fear of missing every detail.

The excavated things were all packed in sacks and weighed.

Zhao Yang, the servant, was in charge of calling out the change of the catty at the top of his voice.

"Thirty catties!"

"Fifty pounds!"

It's only a few dozen catties, which doesn't make people excited.

"One hundred catties!"

"Two hundred catties!"

When it was three hundred catties, people couldn't calm down anymore.

In this era, the staple food is wheat, and the yield of wheat is only a hundred catties per mu.

This shit can actually reach three hundred catties?
One by one was stunned.

"Four hundred catties!"

"Seven hundred catties!"

Afterwards, everyone became numb.

it's dark.

Torches were lit all around.

But everyone didn't respond.

In the whole field, it was very quiet, except for the sound of hoes sticking to the ground.

Just when the ministers were in a daze, Li Chengqian ran over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Father, one mu of land has been dug."

Finished digging?
"How many catties?" Someone asked belatedly.

The corners of Zhao Yang's mouth twitched, he looked at Du He with a complicated expression, and said, "It's a total of 110 jin."

One mu of land weighs 110 pounds.

It is more than the yield per mu that Du He said.

Oh my god!
puff.

puff.

Suddenly, Li Er fell to his knees in front of him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, rejoice!"

"Auspiciousness descended from the sky, this is a sign of the prosperous Tang Dynasty coming!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

All the ministers shouted.

Throughout the dynasties, there have been all kinds of auspicious signs, such as rivers coming out of Tuluo to publish books, unicorns descending to earth, and meteor showers, all of which are weak.

This is the real auspiciousness!

This is food, and the yield per mu is a thousand catties. I don't know how many people it can feed.

To put it bluntly, the same piece of land could only support one person before, but now it can support ten people.

If the population of Datang can be increased by ten times, I dare not imagine what kind of grand occasion it will be.

In the chaos, only Du He's voice sounded slowly: "I understand!"

Ok?
The ministers who were flattering all froze and looked at Du He.

Li Er also asked curiously: "Du He, what do you understand?"
