Yipin Tang

Chapter 73

After the soil was pushed away, everyone finally saw the things buried in the tank clearly. Under the lush vine leaves, there were strings of yellow-brown objects, which looked like inconspicuous stones, round, with Potholes are not pretty.These stone-like things vary in size from big to small, the big ones are bigger than a strong man's fist, and the small ones are as big as a bull's eye.

Could it be that the auspiciousness from heaven that the prince said refers to this thing?They really don't see anything auspicious about these ugly potatoes.

Although Li Er only took a rough look, he was already sure that if each potato plant could bear so many fruits, then the yield per mu would definitely reach [-] shi, or even more than [-] shi!Wang Xinzi is not lying!

Although there is a guarantee from Wang Xiang, and he later took out a series of magical things such as blood transfusion tools, horseshoes, and Quyuanli, Li Er still has some doubts about the amount of grain that can be produced at twenty shi per mu. He feels that he is very satisfied with eight shi per mu. It is not until now that he has seen the yield of potatoes that he is completely relieved. The trip to Gaochang can be completely worry-free!
"Father, if calculated according to this yield, one acre of land can produce more than thirty stones of potatoes, thirty stones!" Li Chengqian's voice was trembling. Although it was exaggerated, it was more excited from the heart. The production of three stones is a bumper harvest for the whole country to celebrate, and it is unimaginable to produce thirty stones per mu.

Only Wang Xiang was calm, and said with a smile: "It is still difficult to produce [-] shi per mu. After all, these potatoes are carefully cultivated, so the yield is so amazing. If it is planted by ordinary people, the yield of good land should be [-] shi per mu." Between twenty stones, if it is a barren land or in a bad year, the yield may be even lower, but eight stones is still no problem."

Li Chengqian nodded quickly and said, "That's right, it's only through careful cultivation that such an astonishing yield can be achieved, but even a yield of twenty shi per mu is a blessing to the people of the Tang Dynasty."

In fact, there is no careful cultivation. Li Chengqian and Wang Xiang only go to Sinong Temple for seven or eight days and a half months now, and they really just leave after taking a look. Watering the potatoes, and nothing else, it can be said that almost all of the dozens of tanks of potatoes grew fat and fat by self-reliance.Of course, Tudou will not stand up and speak out, so some shameless people should take the credit for carefully cultivating it.

After being excited, Li Er carefully held one of the smaller potatoes and frowned: "Why are there so many such small potatoes? Didn't they wait until they were fully ripe?" His tone was slightly dissatisfied.

Li Chengqian didn't know how to explain, so he had to turn his attention to Wang Xiang.

Depend on!Thirty shi per mu is not enough, Li Er is really greedy.

Wang Xiang murmured in his heart and explained: "Because the space for growth is limited, the fruits of potatoes are different in size, not because they are not ripe."

"That's good, don't ruin the potato production for early harvest."

Li Chengqian and Wang Xiang nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

The three of them squatted on the ground and chatted about potatoes. Chen Gui continued to dig potatoes, and the others wondered, what kind of potatoes, what is the yield of thirty shi per mu? The potholed "stones" are associated with food. After all, almost all food today grows on the surface, while things called potatoes obviously grow underground. They are dirty and ugly stuck to the soil. It looks like it can be eaten, and the yield of thirty shi per mu has nothing to do with food.

It's just strange why the prince regards it as auspicious?So what happened that the people of the Tang Dynasty were no longer in danger of famine?The most important thing is why would an emperor as majestic as Li Er lose his composure?
"Dear God Khan, I wonder what kind of auspicious these potatoes are?"

The curious foreign envoys couldn't help asking out the doubts in their hearts.

Only then did Li Er realize that he was squatting on the ground with mud on his hands, which really hurt his image, but these were nothing compared to the surprise that Tudou brought him.

With a loud laugh, he stood up with a bunch of potatoes, and the heavy feeling in his hands made him feel better. He said with a smile, "This is a blessing from the Tang Dynasty. With this grain of [-] shi per mu, the people of the Tang Dynasty No more famines!"

The grain yield of thirty shi per mu has become a reality. Li Er no longer needs to keep it a secret. Potatoes are to be promoted throughout the Tang Dynasty. Which foreign country can be compared with the vast territory and population of the Tang Dynasty.

Even so, Li Er still ordered people to collect all the potatoes, and only the people of the Tang Dynasty were eligible to be the first beneficiaries of the potatoes.

Is this stone-like thing food?Or [-] shi of grain per mu?

There was a sudden explosion in the hall, not to mention those foreign envoys, even the officials of the Tang Dynasty were full of disbelief, but these words came from Li Er's mouth, not to mention the production of potatoes just now Looking at the yield of thirty shi per mu is not a lie, but is this really food?If this is the case, then it is true as the prince said that there is no rare treasure in the world that can compare with it!
Li Er ignored everyone's surprise and suspicion, and stepped forward with tiger steps, his majesty was even more majestic than before.

"The crown prince presented auspicious potatoes to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and made an extraordinary contribution to the country. He gave a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of satin, five hundred horses, and several ancient jade articles. He was added as the governor of Jingzhou. Chongwenguan, the scholar of Chongwenguan is in charge of the Donggong classics and books, and teaches all students. All the exams are sent to Hongwenguan. In addition, it is ordered that all prisoners who are imprisoned in the world will be punished with first-class crimes. For those who are appointed as honored officials, the world will be in a state of chaos for five days."

A series of rewards and graces not only stunned Li Chengqian, but also the princes and ministers in the hall. Li Chengqian felt that happiness came too suddenly and violently.Among the princes, Li Ke, the king of Wu, is the most talented person, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, is the most talented. Therefore, they are the two who receive the most compliments from Li Er. Although they don't show it on the surface, Li Chengqian is still very disappointed.But today, he can finally feel proud!It is the first time that such a high degree of praise has appeared in Li Erkou for his extraordinary achievements!

Fatty Li Tai was even more confused. A while ago, he was complacent because Li Er set up a literary museum for him. After all, the prince did not have such treatment, but today Li Er actually set up a literary museum for the prince in the East Palace. The most important thing is that the sentence "all the exams will be sent to the Hongwen Museum" is far from comparable to the Literature Museum. In modern terms, Li Er allowed Li Chengqian to cultivate his own The leadership team is gone.

Compiling "Kuo Di Zhi" is really not enough to compare with potatoes, and the arrogant little fat man who was robbed of the limelight is naturally not happy.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian was not completely stunned by the surprise, and quickly thanked Li Er for his kindness, not forgetting to say humbly: "I dare not be greedy for merit, it is actually because of my father's sage that the auspiciousness comes from the sky, my son and Wang Jiancheng Just tending to the potatoes."

Wang Xiang felt happy, you have a conscience and you mentioned my name.He thought in his heart that Li Er had rewarded the prince so many things, so he couldn't be worse for himself.

This time Li Er was surprisingly straightforward, and he smiled freely after listening to the prince's words: "The prince is new!"
