Chapter 178: Li Chuan's potatoes were robbed
After receiving the message, the housekeeper was silent for a long time, and suddenly had an urge not to return to the palace.
But this is not something he can decide, he can only decide to help Li Chuan get things done and leave a piece of incense.
It's easy to rent a yard, but it's not easy to rent it nearby, after all, the neighborhood is full of residences of dignitaries and nobles, and there is no such a small yard at all.
Looking farther away, I found a triple yard and rented it temporarily, and it is not certain how long I will live.
The extra guards and servants went directly to the carriage at night, there was nothing to say, they were grateful that Li Chuan was too late, where could they dislike it.
Today is another day when salted fish don't have to go to class, Li Chuan yawned, but he really couldn't sleep after sleeping all day.
In fact, such a hot day is not suitable for sleeping, so what to do?
Li Chuan leaned lazily on the rocking chair, and the ice basin in his hand exuded a hint of coolness.
Xiao Yinzi nested next to the rocking chair, enjoying the shade.
"Damn, why didn't I forget, the potatoes should be ripe." Li Chuan sat up violently, and startled Xiao Yinzi.
Tapping his head with a folding fan, Li Chuan was a little annoyed, and looked at the time, it was not too late, but he was a little weak, so, "Let's go up the mountain." ”
After two seconds of entanglement, Li Chuan still planned to go up the mountain, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, he thought about it for a long time.
If you use this dish as the main dish for the opening of the restaurant, it is no problem to come to the restaurant and become an instant hit.
The only problem is whether there are enough potatoes.
Xiao Yinzi went to prepare the horse, and the master said that he had to go up the mountain, and he had to follow him.
The two took a few guards and rode up the mountain.
Li Chuan twisted the straw hat on his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the road ahead, he seemed to see a team of people, was he dazzled?
"Master, let's let you go, it's the army that has returned to Beijing." Xiao Yinzi tugged at the reins of Li Chuan's horse, and the horse moved two steps to the side, and stood firmly.
"Where is the army?"
"The crusade against Liang Shidu has only been fought for two days, but Liang Shidu was killed, Shuofang City was recovered, part of the army remained, and the rest came back." Xiao Yinzi explained.
Li Chuan suddenly, he remembered, it seemed to be more than a month ago? He was involved in some of them at the beginning, but he forgot about it when he got busy.
"Leave them alone, let's go." The group turned into the path and headed straight into the mountains.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone's speed slowed down, and if Li Chuan had gained anything in the half month in the barracks, it was probably that his riding skills had improved, at least he could run a little faster.
It won't hold everyone back when playing.
When he arrived at the mountain, Li Chuan drilled into the valley wholeheartedly, and as soon as he got in, he found a tree full of peaches, ripe pink peaches, which were tempting to look at and wanted to eat.
Xiao Yinzi was very discerning, and immediately asked the guards to pick it up a few times, wash it with water, and take it to Li Chuan.
Li Chuan took a big bite with satisfaction, it was sweet and juicy, and it was super delicious.
His mood suddenly soared, and as soon as he turned his eyes, he looked at the place where potatoes and corn were planted, and as a result, his heart, 'snapped', fell to the ground and fell into eight petals.
"Me, where are my potatoes and sweet potatoes?" Li Chuan's face was full of shock, only corn was still standing on that land, and it looked like it was about to ripen, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes were indeed gone, not only were they gone, but the land was full of potholes, and it looked like it had been ruined.
"Lord Prefectural." Si Hu came over, he finally found a chance to speak, "The potatoes and sweet potatoes have been harvested according to His Majesty's will, Your Majesty said, these are all used as grain seeds, and now it is estimated that they have been planted in the Imperial Village, and before the arrival of winter, there should be another harvest." ”
Li Chuanmu had a wooden face, so he couldn't eat fried shredded potatoes? Then don't think about the brisket with potatoes.
Slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the corn.
As soon as Si Hu flashed, he blocked in front of Li Chuan, covering his vision tightly.
"Lord County, the corn will be harvested in another ten days and eight days, and this is also what His Majesty asked to keep for grain seeds."
In other words, just don't think about it, nothing will be given to you, nothing will be given.
Li Chuan took a deep breath and raised his head and roared! After roaring, he took fifty peaches down the mountain.
has already been targeted by Li Er, what else can he do?!
It's a big deal, it's a big deal, just buy it with Mo Lotus.
But think about it, spend live coins to buy potatoes? Isn't it a bit too loser?!
It is probably because His Majesty Li Er has been with Li Chuan for a long time, and he has a little bit of a heart, and when Li Chuan was thinking about potatoes, he happened to think of potatoes.
The order was given, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes were not yet ripe, and after that, he forgot to ask.
Since you have time here, it is better to go to Huangzhuang.
Li Shimin traveled in plain clothes, with Wang Dehai and a few guards, and secretly there were people arranged by Dark Eagle.
As soon as they arrived near Huangzhuang, they saw a group of people rushing in front of them, and after a closer look, it was the steward of Huangzhuang.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is overjoyed." The steward of the Huangzhuang recognized Li Shimin and immediately rolled down from his horse to give a salute.
He couldn't care about his embarrassment when he was excited, so he shouted at Li Shimin, "God bless Your Majesty, God bless the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty!" ”
Li Shimin squinted, suddenly thought of something, immediately jumped off the horse, and walked a few steps quickly, "Is it a matter of grain seeds?" ”
"Yes, yes." The steward of Huangzhuang burst into tears, and his face began to distort with excitement, "Your Majesty, the potatoes and sweet potatoes have reached a yield of 45 stones per mu, Your Majesty, as long as this grain is cultivated enough, Datang will no longer have to worry about hunger!" ”
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." The steward of Huangzhuang didn't know how to express his feelings in the end, so he simply knelt down and kowtowed to His Majesty Li Er.
Li Shimin's hands were clenched into fists, 45 stones, more than twice as much as he imagined.
He didn't understand much about what Li Chuan said, but he understood that it would definitely not be less, but the final result was still beyond his expectations.
Not to mention 45 stones, even if it is only 15 stones, he is confident that the people of Datang will no longer starve.
45 stones, God! 45 stones!
For a while, Li Shimin's mind was swiped by these 45 stones.
"Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, God blessed the Tang Dynasty to have such grain born, Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to sacrifice to the sky!"
Or can Wang Dehai be mixed with the position of the chief eunuch of the Great Interior, his political consciousness is definitely not low.
When Li Shimin was still excited, he already knew what to do.
This is a great opportunity, an opportunity for Li Shimin to regain power again, suppress the family, and make a name for himself.
You must know that even now, there are still many people who think that Li Shimin's ascension to the throne is not correct and should not be the emperor.
Li Shimin also suffered a lot of pressure from this locust plague, but it was only because he made sufficient preparations in advance that he did not expand his impact, otherwise it is conceivable how anxious he would be.
Now the emergence of high-yield grain varieties can justify Li Shimin's name.
Only the true dragon son of heaven will be born auspiciously, and he can bless the world!
Hearing Wang Dehai's words, everyone present knelt on the ground, shouted long live, and asked His Majesty to sacrifice to heaven.
Worship the sky!
Heaven is not something that can be sacrificed casually, not good enough, can't do enough merits, and dare to run in front of God? Not afraid of thunder and thunder?!
Li Shimin's expression became even more excited, he slowly closed his eyes, and it took a long time to calm himself down.
"Get up, don't be in a hurry to sacrifice to the heavens, wait for more grain to be planted, and you can take it out for the people to cultivate." Li Shimin forced himself to suppress his eagerness.
What emperor doesn't want to worship the heavens? But not now, there will be a huge locust plague waiting for him next year, and that is a good time for the grain to be planted in the world, and it would be a waste of opportunity to take it out now.
"Take me to see it." Li Shimin waved his hand, didn't give others a chance to say anything more, and strode towards Huangzhuang.
The steward of the Huangzhuang got up and ran to the front to lead the way.
After the grain was weighed, it was all put into the warehouse, and Li Shimin simply went directly to the warehouse.
But as soon as he saw the two small piles of potatoes and sweet potatoes with a lot of soil and looked inconspicuous, Li Shimin's heart suddenly became empty.
This is too far from what he thought, how can a grain with a yield of 45 stones per mu be so ordinary? Even, it's a bit ugly?!
"Your Majesty, the grain is very scarce, and the yield of 45 stones per mu is also calculated by the slave maid, after all, the original planting is not even half of the land, but the slave and the maid are absolutely not wrong, these two kinds of grain, at least 45 stones per mu, if it is wrong, Your Majesty you want the head of the slave, and the slave and the maid are not called a little wronged!" As soon as he saw these two small piles of grain, the steward of Huangzhuang reacted, he was too impulsive.
Only calculated a rough idea, and then ran to report the merit.
In fact, he can't be blamed for this, who let him really never see such a high-yield grain before, and he didn't even dare to dream that suddenly appeared in front of him, he counted dozens of times, and it was all a result, can he not be excited.
Li Shimin nodded, but he didn't blame him, because Li Chuan had already said that this was a high-yield crop, and he didn't doubt the words of the steward.
"Get up, you are an expert in farming, how to continue planting in the future, you just watch it, do it well, I remember your great achievement." Li Shimin has not never farmed, but he is really just a kind of goods, if you want to ask him about the knowledge of farming, he must not know anything, plus this is a new grain species, or it is more reassuring to hand it over to professionals.
As for Li Chuan? Oh, he must not be allowed to interfere.
Just looking at his attitude of directly handing over the grain to the guards to plant, and then leaving it alone, I know that in terms of farming, this is not a reliable person at all.
"Yes, the slave will never live up to His Majesty's expectations." The steward knelt and kowtowed, and when he was done, he got up and ran out to find someone.
Li Shimin didn't care, this was a down-to-earth person who did practical things, he was not clever enough, and he suffered a lot of losses in the palace, so he was thrown to Huangzhuang.
Huangzhuang is Li Shimin's own place, how can it be reasonable not to arrange a henchman here.
"Let's go, let's go back to the palace." Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wang Dehai.
Wang Dehai understands in seconds, if you want to keep it secret, he will never let the news get out.
The guards and the people in the Huangzhuang were all told by Wang Dehai, and they were not at ease, so Wang Dehai directly sealed the Huangzhuang, only letting them in, not letting them out, what they needed, let the people outside send them to the door.
Li Shimin returned to the palace, and he couldn't sit still, so he went to the Lizheng Hall to find the intimate virtuous queen.
Before he entered the temple, he heard a loud cry.
"What's going on? Let the Nine Emperor Princes cry like this? What do you want you to do? Li Shimin entered the house with a calm face and trained people.
Suddenly, the palace maid and the grandmother knelt down.
Empress Changsun rubbed her aching forehead helplessly, and said, "Second brother, don't blame them, it's Xiao Jiu, he doesn't eat grandma's milk." ”
"How so?" Li Shimin was shocked, he didn't eat milk, wouldn't this be starving to death?!
"The concubine doesn't know, after changing more than a dozen grandmothers, he can only barely eat two bites when he is hungry, and then he cries." Empress Eldest Sun was lying on the bed, her face was very bad.
Originally, the confinement in July was uncomfortable enough, and Xiao Li Zhi was still making trouble, making people unable to sleep, and Empress Changsun even had a feeling that she was being tortured.
Or torture! It's so painful!
Not to mention that Li Zhi cries all the time, even she wants to cry, if crying is really useful.
"That's not going to work, or feed something else." Li Shimin still knew that some farmers couldn't eat milk and would feed rice soup.
"Hey, it's the same, I only eat two bites when I'm hungry." Empress Changsun said weakly, "Second brother, you take Xiao Jiu away, the concubine wants to rest." ”
She really couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Shimin was stunned, after so many years of marriage and so many things, this is the first time
