Datang: A Technological Power

This time he was not out hunting, so in order not to disturb the common people, he did not bring a big show, only a few personal guards and a few dukes. The five people who were present that day, including Changsun Wuji, were naturally all there, and this time he also brought Li Jing and Li Ji, so the lineup was unprecedentedly grand.

Each of them was extremely powerful and could defeat a hundred enemies alone. With them around, even if something went wrong, Li Shimin would not be hurt at all.

Besides, Li Shimin was also an unparalleled general with a combat power of over 1,000!

A tour group of more than ten people walked all the way from Chang'an City to the villages in the suburbs. People passing by thought they were just a group of wealthy businessmen and did not attract their attention.

"Maogong, why did His Majesty suddenly want to take us old guys out for an outing?"

At the back of the team, Li Jing and Li Ji walked together and whispered.

Who would have thought that the famous military god of the Tang Dynasty and the empire's first military theorist was actually a weak-looking old man? But he was very tall, tall and thin, standing upright like a pine tree.

And the one he called"Maogong" was naturally the famous military advisor Xu Maogong. Xu Maogong was originally Xu Shiji, but was later given a surname by Li Yuan and changed his name to Li Shiji. Because he had to avoid the word"Shi" in Li Shimin, he changed his name again to Li Ji.

From the matter of changing his name, we can know that this is an extremely smooth person. Sure enough, Li Ji is the fattest among all the kilometers in the country. He looks a little round. It's an exaggeration to say that he looks like a rubber ball, but rugby is still appropriate.

After listening to Li Jing's words, Li Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:

"You haven't gone out for a few days?"

"About half a month, I got a little sick these days and have been recuperating at home."

Li Jing replied, a little confused, and asked again,

"What does this have to do with this matter?"

He didn't quite understand. Isn't it normal to stay at home for no reason? Is it better to run around Chang'an?

"Haha, you stay indoors, no one knows what you do at home, not even His Majesty knows whether you are enjoying your retirement or...……"

Li Ji stroked his beard, smiled faintly, and only said half of his words.

But Li Jing was not a fool. After hearing this, his face suddenly changed. Beads of sweat rolled down his face. He wiped it for a long time but couldn't wipe it clean.

"Thank you."

Li Jing whispered his thanks to Li Ji. From then on, even when he was resting at home, he always kept the door open to show his innocence. However, this is a story for later.

"You two, what are you whispering about in the back? Can you tell me what you are talking about?"

At some point, Li Shimin stood in front of them without anyone noticing, showing his big white teeth.

This is Li Er's special skill. When he is present, no one can hide their whispers from his ears, and he will show his teeth and smile grimly to show his intimidation.

"Ahem, I, I and Duke Ying are lamenting, this, this……"

Li Jing's cold sweat, which had just been suppressed, was frightened out again. In a hurry, he could only look around. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said,

"In this rural area, the rice is so abundant, which is quite different from the depressed scene elsewhere."

When he said this, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, including Li Shimin, who also looked over with surprise in his eyes.

Everyone knew that this year was cold, the harvest was sharply reduced and the land was depressed, but why did it seem like there was a bumper harvest here?

This was too abnormal, right?

"This Qinglong Village is indeed somewhat mysterious.……"

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and couldn't help but think of Xu Chen, and an absurd idea came to his mind.

Could it be that the reason why this village had such a good harvest was because of Xu Chen's good governance?

"Your Majesty, please come and have a look.

Fang Xuanling picked off a rice ear, held it in his hand and presented it to Li Shimin, saying in amazement,

"The rice is so full, it feels heavy in my hand. I roughly estimate that one mu of land can produce more than a thousand kilograms!"

Fang Xuanling became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked at the rich rice field again and felt like tears were about to flow.

This is simply a miracle!

"Could this be a divine field given by God? I'll go check nearby!"

Changsun Wuji also showed surprise in his eyes and started running in the field.

He wanted to see if it was just this field or all the fields in the village!

As he ran, the other dukes were not to be outdone and started running wildly in the field. The more they looked, the happier they were and the happier they ran.

Only Yuchi Gong's face turned pale. He was blessed by God to be able to come out today. It was wishful thinking for him to run. He could only look at his colleagues with envy.

He remembered running in the sunset when he was young. That was his lost youth!

"Your Majesty, it is here too!"

"Your Majesty, this is also a sacred field!"

"Your Majesty, the rice fields here have all had a bumper harvest!"

The news came from all directions, and Li Shimin was overjoyed and said repeatedly:

"Quick, quick, take me to see it!"

He walked from south to north, and almost walked around the periphery of Qinglong Village. He was more and more shocked. In just this round, the per-acre yield of those fields was almost the output of a dozen or even dozens of villages combined!

And the strange thing was that only Qinglong Village was in this situation. The villages a little further away were all bleak, which formed a sharp contrast with the thriving scene here.

"Could it be that this is a God-given village, blessed by the gods, that is why there is such a grand occasion?"

Yuchi Gong's eyes lit up and he said softly.

His words made everyone nod. As superstitious ancient people, they still believed in miracles.

Moreover, at present, only such an explanation can make sense!

However, Fang Xuanling observed the rice ears in his hand, shook his head, and looked up and said:

"These rice ears seem to be different from the rice ears of our Tang Dynasty. In my humble opinion, there must be a hermit who has improved the variety of rice ears, which is why there is such a bumper harvest!"

The answer he gave seemed more pertinent and reasonable. Li Shimin also nodded. For a moment, he didn't know which one was right and which one was wrong.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin, who had the best eyesight, pointed to a stream in front and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, look, there is a village woman washing clothes with her child. Let's go over and ask her, and we'll know."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked in the direction of his finger, nodded immediately, and walked quickly forward.

He was eager to know what was going on, as this was a matter of great concern to the people of the world! ps: Okay, the editor-in-chief has not recommended it, and the author is so upset that he will castrate himself if he doesn't vote for the review or the flowers!
