Datang: After Marrying A Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy

After all, Li Er is not really an upstart.

Because of the extreme excitement, it is understandable for him to say something thoughtless under a gaffe.

After listening to Su Li's words, Li Er finally calmed down.

He could see that the shortcomings of the new food that Su Li mentioned before were not to pour cold water on himself, but to make him sober up.

After thinking about it, Li Er sighed softly: "No matter what, after all, it is a thing that can produce a thousand catties per mu. As long as it has this advantage, it means that God has the virtue of good life."

At this time, Li Er suddenly showed a look of remembrance on his face.

"You are young, maybe you don't know. In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was so happy that he made great achievements, built a large number of construction projects, and levied Goguryeo three times. Taxes and corvees rose every year, and the people suffered unspeakably.

"At that time, Emperor Taishang appointed Taiyuan to stay behind. The originally prosperous Fenhe Valley was abandoned on a large scale, and in addition to natural disasters, the people had no food and clothing, and starved to death everywhere. These are all the scenes I have seen with my own eyes. It is recorded in the history books Those, needless to say.”

The impact of the two new grains on Li Er was too great.

So much so that it is rare for him to recall the past in front of the juniors, and even feel a little emotional.

Empress Changsun walked to Li Er's side and gently squeezed his hand.

Li Er smiled at her, then turned to look at Su Li "720"

"I said that I want to promote the two new grains to the world. I am not eager for quick success. I just think that the people are suffering too much. In the past four years, I often think that the people are tired all day long, but they still have no food. I worry about it." It’s hard to sleep. I couldn’t help but be overjoyed when you took out these two new grains. Because this means that from now on, the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be as embarrassed as before. Even in the year of catastrophe, starvation There will be hundreds of thousands or millions fewer people than before!"

Su Li was taken aback by Li Er's revealing of his true feelings.

He deliberately took out potatoes and sweet potatoes, not just to amuse Li Er.

The original intention was to use these two things to divert Li Er's energy so that he would not bother himself in the future.

Life is not easy for people in this era, Su Li has personal experience.

After all, before that, he had been a farmer for six full years, facing the loess all day long, relying on the output of the land for food.

But he didn't realize that compared to the people of Zhuxia in history, the difficult life in his eyes was already a wonderful life.

In any case, the Tang Dynasty in the early years of Zhenguan, even if it could not be called Guotai Minan, at least had a stable environment, and there were no major natural disasters.

It wasn't until this moment that Su Li realized that what he was living in was, after all, a feudal era with low productivity!

Because of the underdeveloped productive forces, the common people do not have any ability to resist natural and man-made disasters.

Drought, going to starve!

It's flooding, you're going to starve!

If there is a war, it will be even more fatal.

The saying in Cao Cao's poem "There is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles, and the bones of the dead are exposed in the wild" is by no means a fiction.

In the history books, there are countless records of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

The real situation can't be described by the cold phrase "When you're hungry, people cannibalize each other".

Behind every record is the story of the disappearance of tens of millions of lives!

Thinking of these, Su Li couldn't help feeling heavy.

Su Li finally realized that this is the real ancient life.

Cold, heartless, and cruel!

And I should do something for this era!

Even if it is for the 20 million people of Datang, he is willing to take out these two things.

The promotion of new grains is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can only be spread quickly through official channels.

Li Er will definitely be able to obtain great achievements from it.

But Su Li doesn't care about these things.

If it can be exchanged for the whole world to be free from famine, then what's the point of gaining Li Er's reputation?

Thinking about this, Su Li's face became serious.

At this time, I heard Li Er ask: "What you said just now makes sense. Then according to what you said, how should this new crop be planted?"

Su Li thought for a while, and said with a serious face.

"Sweet potatoes and potatoes don't really choose land. For example, potatoes can be grown even in saline-alkali land with poor soil quality, but the yield is slightly lower. If they are planted in sandy land, the yield is even higher. Using good land to grow these two things is completely It is a waste. These two things are actually the most suitable supplements for agriculture.”

"Planting some casually in the corner of the farmland can meet the needs of the whole year. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are relatively drought-tolerant and not flood-tolerant. If you choose a place with a slightly higher terrain to plant, you can ensure the output. Even if you really encounter When there is a natural disaster, the people will not have a mouthful of food to eat."

Li Er nodded, obviously listening to Su Li's words.

After all, only Su Li knows these two things in the Tang Dynasty, and he has the most right to speak in this regard.

After saying these things, Li Ming was in a good mood.

He washed his hands, sat down by the stove happily, and unceremoniously grabbed a baked sweet potato and a handful of French fries.

"Oh, what a good grain, it's such a waste to be eaten like this!"

Su Li couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

Among the five people, you are the one who eats the most and is the least qualified to talk about spoiling things!

How come the majestic emperor, who speaks nonsense with his eyes open, doesn't even want his face?

"If all the food we ate today were used for breeding, the speed of spreading the world would be a little faster..." Li Er muttered again.

Li Er wanted to benefit, but he didn't say it clearly, but he sighed and wanted to take something out of Su Li's hand.

Su Li didn't want to talk about this, and even wanted to throw a bunch of sweet potatoes at him.

"Forget it, forget it, there are still five catties in the back kitchen..." Su Li is not an ignorant person. After all, the base is very important for the promotion of new food. There are more than one hundred catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes. You are in a hurry. It will not be promoted for a while, and the base value will be increased by one catty.

What's more, sweet potatoes and potatoes are food in Su Li's hands, and only in Li's second hand can they play a role. To put it bluntly, "Food promotion can't be done by just saying ten words per mu and a thousand catties.

If the common people were so easy to accept new grains, sweet potatoes and potatoes would not have taken more than a hundred years to cover the earth and let mites take advantage of it.

For this result, Li Er was naturally extremely satisfied.

After eating and drinking enough, the servants of the princess mansion sent the kitchen stock, and the two things added up to five catties.

Li Er couldn't help being overjoyed, and personally directed the servants to move the potatoes and sweet potatoes to the carriage, and left happily.

In front of the Princess Mansion, watching the carriage drift away, Yin Li let out a sigh of relief.

Finally got rid of Li Er!

Su Li is sure that in the next few days, Li Er will definitely calm down.

It is of course important to discover an invincible and invincible general...

However, there are priorities, and any peerless warrior has to stand aside in front of Xin Liang.

After all, for an emperor, the achievement of keeping the world from starving to death is no less than expanding the territory, or even more.

In the history of Zhuxia, there have been many emperors who expanded their borders, but no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it has never been heard that no one died of starvation.

The most important thing is that the promotion of food is not just a matter of breeding. How to promote it, where to promote it, and how to make it accepted by the people are not small problems.

After returning, Li Er will definitely devote himself to the breeding of sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as the promotion of new grains in the future, and he will definitely not have time to take care of himself in a short time.

Su Li couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

The carriage was driving on a smooth bluestone road.

Inside the car, Empress Changsun hugged her youngest son who had already fallen asleep, and looked at Li Er who was still excited.

"Shimin, these two new grains are of great importance. In the future, you must not forget the contribution of that child Su Li. Although he is Changle's son-in-law, there should be no ambiguity about this."

Just now until he left, Li Er kept silent about how to reward Su Li.

Even the eldest grandson empress, who knew him best, was a little puzzled by this kind of behavior.

Li Er's subordinates are notoriously generous, as long as they have meritorious service, they are always rewarded on the spot.

If Su Li was just an ordinary courtier, Queen Changsun would naturally not say much.

But after all, he is a son-in-law, considered a royal relative.

And speaking of it, Su Li was chosen as the son-in-law at the beginning, because Li Er and his wife felt sorry for him.

It would be easy to handle if Chang Le didn't recognize this marriage after waking up.

After all, Datang can divorce her husband, at worst, let Changle divorce Su Li, and then give him a sum of money to settle the matter.

But Changle actually recognized this husband-in-law, and went out with Su Li every day, unwilling to separate for a moment, and the relationship was so enviable.

The eldest grandson can obviously feel that every time he sees Su Li, the other party's vague sense of rejection.

She felt that it was the previous experience that made Su Li feel bad about the couple.

After learning that Su Li is capable of throwing elephants, Li Er 2.1 ran to the princess mansion without incident, trying to draw Su Li into the army, but failed.

Empress Changsun is a woman with a delicate mind.

She felt that Su Li cared more about Li Er and her own opinion of him.

If you really get close to him as a son-in-law, after a long time, the unhappiness in the past will naturally disappear.

At that time, what do you want him to do, what do you want to take from him, is it not just a matter of one sentence?

Li Er used the method of courteous corporals to give the other party face as the emperor, which might work well for others, but it didn't work for Su Li at all.

Su Li is not an ordinary talented person, but a son-in-law, you can often see her.

The two are Weng's son-in-law, and their relationship is so close. It is unrealistic for him to have such awe of the emperor like ordinary people.

Li Er went to the princess mansion every day, maybe in Su Li's eyes, he just wanted to be a white wolf.

Didn't give any benefits, just want to take advantage of others?

That's why Empress Changsun asked this question, and at the same time secretly reminded Li Er.

Unexpectedly, Li Er sighed and said: "How could I forget? Such a divine food is like a elixir of longevity to me, but how to reward Su Li is a difficult problem."
