God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 279 Multiple Choices (Second Change)

Li Shimin ate a few more bites in a row, and then said: "This corn is very tender and sweet, and there is a hint of rice milk in it. This taste is very wonderful. It's a god! I can't think of it in this world. There is such a thing! I have opened my eyes!"

Empress Changsun also said: "Yes, that feeling is the taste of nature, and it is a kind of enjoyment for the taste buds! Yes, it is a milky smell. It makes people addicted to it!"

But Cheng Yaojin said: "That is delicious, it is delicious in the world, it is completely different from potatoes, His Royal Highness, you are really a god!"

What Cheng Yaojin said was the truth, but the others watched them eating and talking, but they couldn't eat it.

Li Chengqian had seen through these people a long time ago, and said: "Ministers, you can each try to eat one, I promise to keep you hanging around!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was very excited.

The polite person said: "Then thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The impatient people rushed to the field and began to fold the corn, quickly peeled off the leaves, and sent them directly to their mouths, looking a little hungry.

Some people ran behind and fell directly to the ground, showing their ugliness.

As a result, the scene became chaotic, and a strange scene was formed in front of Li Chengqian's eyes.

If this scene is recorded in the annals of history, future generations will laugh at it, and some ministers are a little flustered because they eat corn.

At the same time, Li Chengqian noticed that one of them was staring at the cornfield for a long time.

From her eyes, one can see a trace of strangeness.

She is Wang Guifei, and she doesn't know what she is thinking at this moment.

Since she was released from the cold palace last time, Li Shimin has not punished her in any other way, and she has been very honest recently.No more harm to yourself.

At this time, Li Chengqian was a little worried, whether this guy would make any more fools for him.

As a woman, it is impossible to be like many hungry ministers, so she walked as slowly as possible.

Someone who flattered her offered her a corn on the cob. She was also a lady, and she ate very decently.

It was a group of people waiting to eat corn, and the scene was very funny.

After a while, everyone had finished eating, and they couldn't help giving a thumbs up, saying it was delicious.

I also ate this thing, so the next step is the key point.

So Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, how about letting all the ministers harvest this cornfield together this time?"

"Alright, I also want to help collect it!"

This is a very good educational event. Let the ministers participate in it, and maybe they can understand the difficulties of farmers.

At this time, Wang Guifei said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important!"

Empress Changsun said:

"My concubine thought that His Majesty was mostly sitting and was about to move. Get back your strength."

"But Your Majesty..."

"I know your Majesty's health, it's fine! Don't worry too much!"

The two had different opinions. Everyone knew that there was some gunpowder in it, but it was obvious that Empress Changsun was stronger.

Well, it all depends on Li Shimin himself.

Li Shimin's interest is very high.

"I used to fight with all the ministers, and they didn't feel tired! This small three-acre field is nothing! Come, come, let's harvest the corn together!"

Regarding Li Shimin's words, the ministers felt very reasonable.

"Yes!"

So hundreds of people began to harvest again. The so-called strength is greater than the number of people. In less than half an hour, the corn in this mu of field was completely harvested. Looking at the corn cobs piled up like a mountain, people were inexplicable. Feel the joy of labor.

This time, no one questioned Li Chengqian, or how much corn this mu of land could produce.

After all, a pile of corn here says it all, unless it's self-defeating.

But Li Shimin wanted to know, after all, it involved future promotion.

"Come on, weigh this pile of corn!"

"Yes!"

"That's when someone started to weigh it!"

And, people started counting.

One stone

两石
……

Finally stopped at 25 stone before stopping.

This mu produces 25 stones, which is a huge amount.

"25 stone! Not bad, only worse than potatoes."

In fact, potatoes are heavier.

But Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the effect of corn is not worse than that of potatoes."

At this time, Changsun Wuji, who had been silent all this time, said, "I heard that potatoes can produce more than [-] shi. The same field produces different yields. It seems that this corn does not need to be promoted."

Hou Junji also said: "Although it's delicious, it's true. If you remove the head and tail, there's not much you can eat!"

And Pei Ji also said: "It's not that good, it's hard to be a staple food, right? It's not like potatoes, which can make people full."

To put it bluntly, they were displeased with Li Chengqian's performance, and deliberately said this in order to prevent Li Shimin from promoting the corn.

But Li Chengqian sneered, these human subjects knowledge is too short.

After hearing everyone's words, Li Shimin asked in puzzlement, "Oh? How did Gao Ming say that?"

Li Chengqian said: "First of all, the food in my Tang Dynasty needs variety. If you eat the same thing every day, you will get tired of it. Therefore, corn as a supplement is the meaning of its existence. This is the first point. The second point is the combination of the two. Almost, corn can be stored for a longer period of time, and it can be popularized faster. After one acre of potatoes is harvested in one season, [-] acres can be planted. If it is to become the staple food of the Tang Dynasty, it will take at least three seasons. The output per mu can be planted with [-] mu of land! It only takes two seasons to produce it and make it the staple food of the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as he said this, everyone seemed to have been taught a lesson, because what he said was completely fine.

Li Chengqian's thinking is very clear, which made all the ministers admire him.

Fang Xuanling said at this time: "If His Highness the Crown Prince said, it is true. Today, the Tang Dynasty needs to produce a large amount of grain in a short period of time to solve the famine problem. These corns have undoubtedly brought good news!"

Cheng Yaojin, being a vulgar person, also said: "That's right, you will get tired of eating too much of the same thing, and you can choose from a variety of things. So, old Cheng, I am very curious, what is there in this one-acre field?"

After finishing speaking, the old man went straight to the one-acre field next to him, where sweet potatoes were grown. Before Li Chengqian could speak, Cheng Yaojin had already pulled up a sweet potato vine.

In this way, the ministers were dumbfounded, because they couldn't see anything.

Li Chengqian was speechless for a while, Cheng Laohuo came to sabotage today!
