The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

While the three people were talking, Li Shimin also had a headache. He originally wanted to let Li Xiang be quiet for a while. This was regarded as a sign of love for him, and at the same time, it was also a suppression of him. It was not a good thing to be promoted too high at a young age. It would be extremely beneficial for the family to think about it carefully in their future life, but looking at these memorials in front of them, Li Shimin knew that this kid was going to make a comeback again.

There are a total of twelve memorials in front of me, all of which are due to Li Xiang's marriage. In addition to Cheng Yaojin's daughter, there is also the daughter of former prime minister Xiao Yu. The others are also from official families, but compared to this When the two of them came, their status was somewhat insufficient, so Li Shimin didn't consider them. But even with the two in front of him, Li Shimin was a little undecided, not to mention that Li Xiang hadn't discussed the marriage publicly yet, so he would not be able to marry them by then. I don’t know how much trouble there will be.

"The Emperor didn't even eat lunch. Did some military or national event happen?"

When Li Shimin was worrying, Concubine Yang Shu sent someone to bring food. After the death of Queen Changsun, Concubine Yang almost acted as the temporary queen. She was also sincerely concerned about Li Shimin's health. After all, the relationship between the two was not weak in the early years. , if it were not for Empress Changsun, perhaps Concubine Yang Shu would be able to honor the world as her mother.

"Come here and help me take a look. There are so many memorials for marriage proposals here. I really don't know which one to choose, especially those from Cheng Yaojin and Xiao Yu."

In the past, it could be said that it was extremely difficult for royal children to propose marriage. All major families were unwilling to marry the royal family. Even if the emperor's decree came down, it would be replaced by a concubine's daughter, and they would never allow their own legitimate daughter. Marry into the royal family just because you despise the royal family.

But now the situation is directly reversed. These memorials refer to the family's legitimate daughters, but Li Shimin doesn't know how to choose.

As a princess of the former dynasty, Concubine Yang Shu knew very well about the marriage between large families. If it was done well, she would not have to worry about it in her life, but if it was not done well, it might be a disaster. .

"Has the Emperor asked them about father and son?"

Concubine Yang Shu's words made Li Shimin a little dissatisfied. Do you still need to ask such a thing? As an emperor, I can naturally be his master, let alone his grandfather.

"Other people may not need to ask, but Xiang'er is different from other people."

As soon as Concubine Yang Shu saw Li Shimin's expression, she immediately knew what was going on. Although she had not met Li Xiang yet, Concubine Yang Shu had also heard about a series of Li Xiang's ways of doing things. If she had not asked clearly, it was very likely that she would There will be conflicts.

"I won't ask, I'm just about to leave it alone..."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and said, now it is finally his turn to make the decision. Although your major families have sent memorials, I may not agree. The longer this matter is suppressed, the more families will take action.

"Your Majesty is so smart."

Concubine Yang Shu also understood what Li Shimin meant. Since you have conflicts on this matter, then fight on this matter for a while. As the emperor of a country, the unity of his subordinates is very important, but the conflicts of his subordinates are more important. If If you don't have any conflicts, wouldn't it mean that you have conflicts with me? How can the empire be in good health?

The whole capital was in a fuss over Li Xiang's marriage, but Li Xiang didn't have the time to care about it. At this moment, Li Xiang had changed into casual clothes and started inspecting the farms around Chang'an City.

According to Li Xiang's order, the farms around Chang'an City have begun to change. Prisoners of war and purchased slaves have also been arranged. The policy remains the same as before. I will not abuse you excessively, but you must be honest. Work for me, and I may give you freedom in ten or twenty years. This can be regarded as a glimmer of hope for you.

"Why do you always have such a sad look on your face?"

Li Xiang had been looking at Zhou Huairen's bitter face for a whole day.

"My lord, this kind of seed is very valuable. Look at what kind of land is this? Apart from watching the sky and eating, there are no canals for watering the land. Even if there is a water shortage, we can't give it to you." Bringing it here and throwing the seeds in this kind of land is just a waste of food, and what kind of seeds are these?"

Zhou Huairen said with some worry, these are the potatoes made by Li Xiang. They have been ripe for one season, and the yield is amazingly high. Now they have started farming again, so Zhou Huairen feels a little distressed, in case there is such a drought. If the ground cannot sprout, then our seeds will be wasted.

"Don't worry, this is a drought-tolerant plant. I've seen the records here. It's almost the same with annual rainfall alone. We don't need to worry."

The precipitation in Chang'an City in this era is still relatively abundant, at least much more than in the 21st century. Potatoes themselves do not need much water. This is why Li Xiang chose high-yielding crops after his investigation. If he chooses sweet potatoes, The yield may be higher, but Li Xiang does not have detailed data yet. Potatoes have been planted for one season, so it is safer.

"It would be great if this is the case. The yield of this thing per mu is more than four thousand kilograms. According to the method the prince said, it tastes very delicious. If we plant it in a large area, we will have a lot of it. When the time comes, even if we fall out with the major families, we won’t be afraid that they will control the food and suppress us.”

Zhou Huairen said very excitedly, the current yield per mu is about three hundred kilograms. The potatoes we grow per acre can directly exceed yours by more than ten times. Even though our land is not as large as yours, if we are in the food industry in the future, If it comes to arm wrestling, we people may not lose.

"Don't speak too early now. After all, they still have the advantage. Have you had any results from sending people to keep an eye on them during this period?"

Li Xiang patted the soil in his hands, and then sat down on a stone bench next to him. This was already the inside of the farm. Apart from our own people, there were only these slaves left. No one could get out from here, so Li Xiang no longer needs to pretend to be sick.

"Back to Your Highness, the five surnames and Qiwang have all sent their own people to Liangzhou, and the auction is about to start. If our estimate is correct, almost every family has spent at least three million yuan."

Hearing this number, Li Xiang frowned. It seems that it is still not enough. If it is doubled again, it will allow them to sell more assets, and we will be able to profit from it...
