Datang: Let's Start with Fortune-telling

Chapter 32: Growing Sweet Potatoes

　　Several days passed.

　　Li Shimin's mood is not as good as day by day.

　　the reason is simple.

　　Since the last time I saw Han Xiu, I went out in person the next day.

　　I want to find him to continue the discussion about the drought in Hedong Road.

　　It's not that Li Shimin can't believe him, but he wants to ask.

　　Now that the drought is coming, what can be done to solve it?

　　In other words, how should those people who are in distress be resettled?

　　After all, in the current Tang Dynasty, the treasury is empty and it cannot make ends meet.

　　前

　　Sui's family assets are almost used.

　　Relief with food seems to be the only way.

　　But... wanting to save the entire Hedong Road, this is definitely not a small output.

　　This made Li Shimin really embarrassed.

　　But if those refugees were left alone, Li Shimin would not be able to live with it.

　　Therefore, he wanted to ask Han Xiu if he had any other ideas.

　　but……

　　"His Majesty!"

　　At this moment, an old eunuch rushed in in a panic.

　　Seeing this, Li Shimin quickly got up.

　　"How, can Mr. Han make a booth?" Li Shimin hurriedly asked.

　　As a result, the old eunuch shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave sent someone to Mr. Han's stall, but Mr. Han is still not there!"

　　"What? Not here yet?"

　　When Li Shimin heard this, his brows were tightly locked together.

　　He hadn't thought about it until now that he would one day be empty without a fortune-teller, as if he had lost his soul.

　　For five days in a row, he sent

　　People go out to check.

　　As a result, within the past five days, Han Xiu has not been seen.

　　It was as if he had disappeared from this world all of a sudden.

　　At this moment, when Li Shimin heard that there was still no trace of Han Xiu, his heart became empty again.

　　And at this time.

　　Empress Zhangsun came over, when she saw Li Shimin's six gods and no masters.

　　His brows also wrinkled.

　　"Second brother, haven't you found Mr. Han yet?" Queen Changsun asked.

　　"Huh? It's the Guanyin maid... ah,

　　I don't know where this Han Xiu went. He disappeared for five days in a row. Could it be... what happened to him? "Li Shimin said with a frown.

　　Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun did not speak.

　　but pondered.

　　After a while, she suddenly said: "Second brother, didn't you say that Mr. Han lives in Matou Village outside the city? Since the second brother is so worried about it, why not go directly to Matou Village and find out?"

　　Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he clapped his hands together.

　　"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

　　"come,

　　Bring Li Junxian to me, I want to go out of the palace to Matou Village! "

　　The voice fell, and the old eunuch hurriedly bowed and saluted.

　　"promise!"

　　After saying that, he turned around and hurried out.

　　Not long after, when Li Shimin was wearing casual clothes, he brought Li Junxian and some guards with him.

　　When preparing to leave the palace.

　　Skillful.

　　At the gate of the palace, I happened to meet Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, and Du Ruhui who came together.

　　When they met Li Shimin here at the city gate.

　　all face

　　's dumbfounded.

　　Hastily stepped forward to salute: "Chen wait, I have seen Your Majesty!"

　　Li Shimin saw a few of them and nodded with a smile.

　　"It's just right, auxiliary machine, Zhijie and Keming, you are here at the right time, go and come out of the palace with me!"

　　"Out of the palace? Where is Your Majesty going?"

　　Zhangsun Wuji asked with a frown.

　　"Matou Village!"

　　"Matou Village?"

　　Hearing this, just when the few of them were still a little stunned.

　　Li Shimin has already taken a step forward and spared them a few to walk out of the palace gate

　　went.

　　Several old guys looked at each other.

　　Without saying a word, he hurriedly followed behind Li Shimin.

　　He hurried to the gate of the city.

　　...

　　...

　　Why hasn't Han Xiu set up a stall in the city these past few days?

　　the reason is simple.

　　Because of the drought in Hedong Road.

　　Although the disaster had not yet erupted, Han Xiu had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

　　Rice prices are bound to rise.

　　With his wealth, it is obviously impossible to hoard rice.

　　Therefore, in the past few days, he has been busy planting sweet potatoes and rice at home.

　　He even turned over the small courtyard in his house.

　　"Brother, this sweet potato... can it really be grown?"

　　At this moment, the two brothers and sisters squatted here, looking at the few pieces of sweet potatoes buried in the soil.

　　Han Xi'er asked suspiciously.

　　During the Tang Dynasty, sweet potatoes had not yet spread.

　　I am afraid that apart from Han Xiu, there is no other person who knows what this thing is.

　　Han Xiu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, this sweet potato is easy to feed, no

　　Picking the land, even in arid places, can be planted, and the yield is amazing, even if the yield per mu is not a problem! "

　　Hear this.

　　Han Xi'er looked surprised.

　　"The yield per mu is a thousand catties? If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to solve the disaster?"

　　Han Xiu smiled and didn't say much.

　　Then, I saw him turn around and enter the house, and took out a few sweet potatoes.

　　"Xi'er, in addition to the amazing yield, this sweet potato can adapt to any harsh environment, and its taste is quite good!"

　　"Well, and the way of cooking, there are also

　　Many, such as sweet potato porridge, can also be steamed, boiled, roasted, fried, etc. All in all, it is a very convenient and delicious thing! "

　　"Come on, I'll bake two for you today and let you taste how it tastes!"

　　"Come on, help me make a fire, we two brothers and sisters will eat roasted sweet potatoes tonight!"

　　The voice fell.

　　Seeing that Han Xi'er was dubious, she turned around and went to work.

　　After a while, a pile of firewood was set up in the yard.

　　Toss the roasted sweet potatoes inside and set it on fire.

　　Han Xiu ignored it.
