Datang: Invincible in the world, the widow of King Zhao of the West

Chapter 88 Potato sprouting, tea leaves!
The backyard of King Zhao's Mansion.

at this time.

Not only Li Er, Dukes like Cheng Yaojin came, even Empress Changsun came.

Nothing else, just because the potatoes that Li Xun picked up sprouted.

"These small pieces can really produce a thousand catties per mu?" Cheng Yaojin looked at the potato pieces in the ground and asked curiously.

Li Xun smiled and said, "You're wrong. It's not a thousand catties per mu, but more than 3000 catties per mu!"

"Maybe, it can go up a little more."

"However, each field is different, and the difference will not be too far."

Empress Changsun looked at Li Xun excitedly, and said, "If this happens, it won't be long before my Great Tang's granary will be completely filled!"

Li Er let out a heavy breath.

Said: "Xun'er, when can these potatoes be planted?"

Li Xun dug out one of the potatoes and said, "Your Majesty, these potato pieces are now seeds, and it may take a few years before they spread all over the world."

"The hundred acres of fertile land in the Golden Buddha Temple can just be used as a cultivation base."

Empress Changsun was taken aback.

"Cultivation base?"

Li Xun nodded and said: "Well, these potatoes are specially cultivated, and this is definitely not enough, so, first plant these, and after they bear fruit, they will be made into seeds, and then planted again .”

"Repeat this three or four times. Come to think of it, the people around Chang'an City can have potato seeds planted in the ground."

Li Er said: "In that case, the fastest, it will take a year?"

Li Xun nodded: "That's right, as far as that piece of fertile land is concerned, there is no problem at all with three crops a year. In at most one year, the people around Chang'an City can start planting potatoes."

"When the common people start planting, the seeds will increase. I think that within three years, potatoes can be planted in the fields of the entire Tang Dynasty."

"it is good!!"

"It's only a few years, I can still afford to wait."

Li Er looked at the potato pieces in the ground with a fiery look.

Now, without the threat from the north, for Datang, it can be completely stabilized in the past few years.

"Then, Xun'er, where is Tubo?" Li Er looked at Li Xun expectantly and asked.

See Li Er's appearance.

Li Xun naturally understood what was going on in his second uncle's mind, and said, "Second uncle, we are now in the stage of recharging our energy, what can we do if we let them develop for a few years in Tubo?"

"It still can't splash the water, and the terrain over there is too high. If we do it rashly, I guess, we're afraid, we will only lose!"

It's not that Li Xun can't beat him.

Instead.

People have a geographical advantage!

Wars, geographical advantages, sometimes, that is the key to victory or defeat!

Tubo side.

Altitude sickness!
Li Xun didn't believe that among the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, there was no one without altitude sickness.

Once altitude sickness occurs, you can only wait for death in place, or let others slaughter you.

Moreover, Li Xun himself has never been there, and he doesn't know if he has altitude sickness, if he also has altitude sickness.

Then do it rashly.

It's all about giving away people's heads.

"Why?"

"Isn't it because the terrain is higher?" Li Er asked curiously.

Cheng Yaojin said at this time: "Your Majesty, my old Cheng has heard people say that some people can't stand it. After going there, they will lie in bed for a few days at least, or die at worst."

Li Xun nodded and said, "Master Cheng is right, I call this kind of situation altitude sickness."

"Second Uncle, Tibet is actually not our primary target."

Li Xun said: "Our primary goal is still this piece of land, the land of the Six Edicts is also ours."

When Li Er heard this, he immediately understood.

"You mean, let me destroy the Six Orders, or subdue the Six Orders?"

Li Xun nodded and said, "Second Uncle, you also know who those people are in Liuzhao, and they are so close to Tubo!"

"So, if the soldiers and horses of Liuzhao can be used by us, then when we take down Tubo in the future, our soldiers will not be needed at all."

"Besides, the current Liuzhao, if you think about it, life is not very easy. There is my Tang Dynasty in the north, and Tubo next to it."

"Second uncle, you can send someone to contact you."

Why doesn't Li Er understand?
If you can subdue it, then subdue it, if you can't subdue it, let's talk about things that cannot be subdued.

It's nothing more than hitting you until you are convinced!

"Okay, okay, now is not the time to talk about these things." Empress Changsun couldn't help saying when she saw Li Xun and the others and started talking about state affairs again.

These things are not said in this place, let alone, she is still there, do you let her go, or let her go?
Li Xun said with a smile: "It's just nagging, it's not a big deal."

Li Er: ".!"

"By the way, where is the tea you mentioned? Boy, let me tell you first, but I have drunk all kinds of tea."

"Don't fool me!"

Li Xun immediately said: "Don't worry, I'm looking for this thing on purpose, just you?"

"Hehe, it's not that I underestimate you, you have never drunk."

Tea?
The current tea, is that called tea?
It's just "seasoning water" boiled out of a bunch of seasonings.

Why is it called boiled tea, Sencha?

There is a reason for that.

Anyway, Li Xun hadn't even had a sip of it. Was it a human drink?
Even Li Xun felt that if he put a piece of meat and poured the tea in, he could perfectly remove the fishy smell.

In a word, it is the drink of Yangjian.

"Xiaolan, Forbe."

Li Xun called out.

Xiaolan and Forbe ran over immediately.

"Fu Bo, according to what I said before, transport these potato pieces to good fields and plant them."

"Xiao Lan, go and brew the tea leaves I got, and entertain the distinguished guests!"

Little Lan Fubo acted immediately.

"Three, please?" Li Xun said with a smile.

Li Er laughed and walked in first.

soon.

In front of the four of them, the servants moved the tea table over and began to boil water with charcoal.

"My lord, why is there nothing in your teapot?"

Cheng Yaojin curiously opened the steaming teapot and looked inside, except for water, it was just water, which was more water than the author's writing.
It was all water, not a drop of what they would consider tea.

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Cheng, didn't I say that my tea is something you have never seen before."

Li Xun saw the teapot boiling.

"Xiao Lan, make tea!"

Xiaolan was holding a small bamboo basket in her hand, and inside that small bamboo basket was roasted tea leaves.

Do some work.

soon.

In the cup, there are a few pieces of tea leaves rippling in the fragrant tea.

Tea is originally used to get rid of greasy, but as a result, the current tea, after drinking, makes people feel more greasy.

"Try it."

Holding the teacup, Li Xun smelled the familiar smell.

16 years!
Finally, I smelled this familiar smell again.

Li Er picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

swallow.

"Ok?"

"Guanyin servant girl, try it, it's very refreshing!" Li Er said with a smile on his face.
