Datang first village

Datang Qinwangzhuang, a village of Qinwang Farm.There are already all the stewards of a village who arrived in advance waiting here.

Old Li was urgently transferred to Luoyang on business, and Bai Laotae took care of him temporarily.

"Those who step on the mother will be punished severely!" An old man shouted when everyone entered the field, this is the rule of Qin Wangzhuang.

After Li Er heard the shouting, he turned to Eunuch Gao and said, "Wulang's fields are all treasures!" Eunuch Gao naturally understood at this point, and immediately asked someone to pass on Li Er's words, so that all the soldiers must be careful. Be careful not to destroy the crops in the fields.

When everyone got out of the car, Li Yin's face was covered with sweat.

Concubine Yang took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, but Li Yin blushed, and hurriedly said: "Mother Concubine, this piece of land was planted by Yin, and the seedlings that were removed from Wuhuangshu's greenhouse."

Li Er stepped forward and stood beside Concubine Yang.Empress Changsun and Li Liyuan stood behind knowingly.

At a glance, there are thousands of acres of pumpkin fields, [-]% of the pumpkins are dark green, but a few have turned golden yellow.The concubines were lucky enough to taste pumpkins, and they were a little excited when they saw the field, pointing and talking non-stop.Looks like there will be pumpkin on the table for lunch.

"Yin, do you understand farming?" Li Er asked.

"I only know superficially, because I have grown pumpkins before, so I know more about pumpkins!" Li Yin replied truthfully.

Li Er asked again: "How to tell whether it is ripe or not because of discoloration. What is the yield per mu?"

"Return to the words of the father!" Li Yin replied like a little adult, "although they are all pumpkins, but Uncle Wuhuang has dozens of varieties of pumpkins here, with different sizes, colors and flavors. Calculated by emergence , the shortest 85 days to mature, the longest 120 days to mature."

Li Er was very satisfied with this answer, and nodded for Li Yin to continue.

Li Yin came to the edge of the field: "The lightest one weighs a catty, and the yield per mu is only more than 1000 catties, but it is extremely sweet and the most precious. My son was taught by the five emperor uncles, knowing that food is the most important thing for people, so my son The minister chose the pumpkin, which is called vegetable melon by Uncle Wu Huang, which generally weighs ten to fifteen catties, but there are also many special ones, which can grow tens of catties, or even hundreds of catties! The yield per mu can reach more than five thousand catties."

The weight of Datang is about 685 grams per catty.

Li Er noticed that when Li Yin was speaking, his eyes kept sweeping towards the wooden cage in the field.

Li Yin took a deep breath: "The handle of a pumpkin is like wood, and the skin is extremely hard when pressed with nails. If it is still soft and brittle, it is immature. It is not distinguished by color. My son..."

Li Yin turned his gaze to the wooden cage again, and his breathing became much faster.

Li Er nodded slightly to Li Yin to show encouragement.

"Mother Concubine, I heard that Mother Concubine likes pumpkins during the New Year, and that only five emperor uncles in the world have them in Qin Wangzhuang. I thought that buying them with money or begging for them would not be the best, so I planted them. A lot of pumpkins, the biggest and best looking sons and daughters dedicated to mother and concubine!"

What Li Yin said revealed his true feelings, but Concubine Yang's face darkened.

"Nonsense, the best should be dedicated to your father and queen mother!" Concubine Yang was about to reprimand him again, but Li Er stopped him: "I am not so stingy about a son's affection for his mother. Go and get it!" , Dedicated to your concubine mother!"

With Li Er's support, Li Yin quickly ran into the field.

Li Yin was not sure what was under the wooden cage. He remembered that when he put on fat a few days ago, there was a very big one here, with a diameter of one foot. Li Yin tried to push it, but it didn't move. , I think it weighs seventy or eighty catties.

While Li Yin was holding on to the wooden cage with trembling hands, Father Bai knelt down to Li Er beside him, and shouted: "Filial piety touches the heavens, and God blesses this Pumpkin King to be alive. This is auspiciousness."

Hearing Papa Bai's shout, Li Min's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled up the wooden cage vigorously.

This pull, but it didn't pull, Li Yin broke out in a sweat, and Father Bai and the others were even more anxious.They were all confused, how did this happen, how could it be possible that the wooden cage could not be pulled up.

Li Er smiled, naturally he would not let such auspiciousness lose his spirit.

"Concubine Yang, please join me. Since it is a blessing from the heavens, it is natural to want family harmony!"

Concubine Yang nodded, and was carefully supported by Li Er into the field, the two of them left and right, Li Yin helped Concubine Yang slowly lift the wooden cage.When the wooden cage was lifted, Li Er understood that the pumpkin was too big, and if it was only lifted on one side, it would definitely get stuck.

When the golden melon appeared in front of everyone, there were countless exclamations.

"Xiangrui, God bestows benevolence and filial piety!" Wang Jishan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, shouted.

Li Er wanted to move it, but he tried hard but couldn't move it at all. Li Er couldn't help but said, "This gourd is very heavy."

Four sturdy soldiers of the Imperial Army took off their armor, cut off the handle of the melon with the help of eight farmers, hoisted it with a long rope, placed it on a wooden board, and lifted the wooden board again to carefully lift it out from the ground.

"Your Majesty, why not be steady?" Gao Jian also said beside him.

The ones who came together were originally people from Sinong Temple, who tested the size, recorded the color and other characteristics, and then they lifted the pumpkin by the big scale.

190 four catties.

Wang Jishan slightly closed his eyes, but he was always beside him.At this time, he secretly gave the person in charge of weighing a wink. When the person who was weighing was putting down the scale, his hand moved slightly, and the weight slipped half an inch to the side. , two hundred and two catties!"

A good one is two hundred and two catties.

Li Er is the second child, which is an auspicious gift from God. This weight makes Li Er have a very sunny smile on his face.

The official in charge of weighing finally moved his fingers slightly, and at least dozens of people noticed it, even Li Er saw it.

What is the real weight, Li Er doesn't care, Li Er cares more about the result.

Li Yin finally looked like a child at this time, throwing himself on the pumpkin and hugging the pumpkin, laughing wildly, crying again for a while, and knowing again for a while.Li Yin believes that he has learned well, which is a blessing from God.He is the sixth prince of Li Er, but he is the second son of Concubine Yang. The two hundred and two catties made him happy.

Then Li Er said unhurriedly: "Wang Aiqing, I am very happy with this weight."

It wasn't the first day that Wang Jishan became an official. How could he know what Li Er said? His arrangement was really great, and Li Er expressed his satisfaction.

"Holy Majesty, how about patrolling the city?"

"When patrolling the city, cook pumpkin and rice porridge to bless the people of Chang'an." Li Er immediately decided to eat the pumpkin and save it if someone weighed it again, and he would be slapped in the face.

Wang Jishan claimed to be kind, and immediately arranged to transport the pumpkins back to Chang'an to patrol the city, and then blessed the people of Chang'an at noon tomorrow.

Father Bai was in a hurry now, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to speak. He just looked around to see if there were any other people with status in Qinwangzhuang.

Li Er noticed it, and beckoned.

"What do you want to say, I allow you to say it!"

"If you go back to the emperor, your old man, there are at least ten catties of seeds in such a big gourd. This kind of seeds must be good seeds and must be kept. His Royal Highness is also counting on Zhuangzi to collect a thousand catties of seeds this time and send them to Luoyang. , tens of thousands of acres of land in Luoyang are left uncultivated, what a pity!"

What is the emperor, your old man.

Li Er almost laughed, he was only 28 years old, and the village manager in front of him was at least [-] years old.

However, Li Er didn't care about being rude to farmers.

"As you said, you arrange people to follow and keep the seeds. In my opinion, all the auspicious seeds can't be sent to Luoyang, and they can be planted again in the village. There will be more auspicious seeds in the coming year. Naturally, all states and counties in the Tang Dynasty We also want to share auspiciousness." Li Er said very kindly.

Father Bai hurriedly kowtowed: "Your majesty is more thoughtful!"

"Go!" Li Er waved his hand.

Thousands of catties of ripe pumpkins were brought back to the palace by Li Er. When it came to eating, Li Er was also influenced by Li Yuanxing.Huge ones will definitely not taste good, the more beautiful and delicate ones are, the more delicious they are. Li Er deliberately asked him to bring a dozen small pumpkins that only weighed one catty.

Just when Li Er was about to leave Qinwangzhuang, Li Min stood at the door, arranged for his car to be loaded into a carriage for Concubine Yang to take back, and then held a long cloth bag, but hesitated.

"Idiot!" Wu Zhao's sudden foul language shocked many people.

Wu Zhao hit Li Min on the buttocks with a bamboo board: "Buying a piece of clothing for my own mother, what's the shame?"

Li Yin just smirked, and quickly ran in front of Concubine Yang, put the cloth bag on the carriage, and fled away as if flying away.

Li Er smiled and sat in Concubine Yang's carriage, he was very curious about what Li Yin put on it?

A letter, and a piece of brocade.

Li Er only glanced at it, and said softly: "This one is hard to find in the market. First, it is the best brocade in Qinwangzhuang, and the printing is even more exquisite. Second, it is a son's filial mother. It is even more precious." Li Er said, and handed the letter to Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang pushed back to Li Er.

Opening the letter, Li Er read softly: "My lord, I earned it myself. I drew 43 pictures for Uncle Wuhuang, but it's a pity that I don't know what is in the picture, but It must be an extremely brilliant machine. Then I checked more than 800 account books for Huanggu Mingyue, and only then did I earn the money for this brocade, and I didn’t use the reward of a coin from the mother and concubine.”

Concubine Yang shed tears silently.

"Today, you don't seem to talk much!" Li Er's tone was filled with emotion.

"A thousand words!" Concubine Yang cried in a low voice.

Li Er nodded vigorously: "Yes, a thousand words are not as good as being filial in my heart. I am not bad, and I am getting better and better. My heart is very comforting. Concubine Yang can also feel at ease. Wulang has the righteousness of the world. It’s not that the other emperor’s children should also learn a thing or two in Qinwangzhuang, and they don’t want to learn Goro’s great wisdom and great talent, as long as they can learn benevolence, filial piety, and virtue, that’s enough!”

"Holy Lord, Holy Ming!" Concubine Yang could say nothing else, only this sentence. (To be continued.)
