Chapter Eighty-Seven: It Turned Out to Be Two Old Foxes
The eldest grandson Wuji knew the news of the shortage of food in the DPRK and China, and heard that many princes also came to offer food, so he hurriedly came to offer food.
At first, I was hesitant, after all, there was only so much food at home.
Since everyone has done this, it's not good not to do it yourself.
The eunuch stopped the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Zhao Guogong, Your Majesty is not in the palace. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji stood outside the Ganlu Palace, where could His Majesty go if he was not here at this critical time.
The eunuch said again: "If Zhao Guogong has anything, he can leave a message, and the old slave will tell His Majesty on his behalf." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said to the eunuch: "Then the old man will come back later." ”
Turning around to leave, Eldest Sun Wuji asked, "Where did Your Majesty go at this time?" ”
"The old slave also knows that His Majesty didn't say it, but went out with Fang Xiang."
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, could it be that His Majesty is going to find someone with the fifth surname?
The eunuch smiled and said, "Zhao Guogong, please go back." ”
Jingyang
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling devoured potatoes and stewed pork.
Li Zheng's cooking skills are very good, and a bowl of potato and beef stew has already made Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling eat three bowls of rice.
Li Junxian turned his head not to see this kind of scene, His Majesty actually ate pork so deliciously.
Your Majesty is really a wise man, even such a coarse pork can be eaten deliciously.
I was moved in my heart, Your Majesty has worked so hard to experience the suffering of the people.
Fang Xuanling took a sip of soup and pointed to another pot of vegetables and said, "What is this dish?" ”
"This is a pumpkin." Li Zheng also said lightly.
"Pumpkins? Haven't you heard of it, it's also a new food? ”
Li Zheng said: "This pumpkin can be eaten as food, but it is also a vegetable. ”
Fang Xuanling picked up the next bite and said, "It's really soft and glutinous, how is the yield?" ”
Li Zheng thought for a while and said: "This pumpkin is not easy to say, generally speaking, the yield per mu is 3,000 catties, if you use the bracket to build up the vines, the space saving can reach 10,000 catties per mu, that is, the yield per mu is 30 to 100 stones." ”
Tens of thousands of catties per mu?
Fang Xuanling took the case, "What you said is true?" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
Hearing this, Li Shimin coughed violently.
was obviously shocked by Li Zheng's words.
Li Tai cautiously patted Li Shimin on the back.
After a while, Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng and said, "I ask you, the yield per mu is 10,000 catties, but is it true?" ”
Li Tai brought a pumpkin from the kitchen and said, "Father, this is a pumpkin." ”
Looking at the pumpkin with a grinding plate, Li Shimin was speechless for a while.
"How did you grow this?"
Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Li Zheng glanced at the bowl of pig's trotters stewed vegetables in the bowl and was eaten.
It's really enough to eat, I'm afraid this amount of food is beyond Li Tai's reach.
Li Zheng thought to himself what's wrong with being the emperor now? I haven't eaten meat or anything.
Seeing that a few people didn't believe it, Li Zheng took them to the pumpkin field.
A bamboo shed was erected here, and the pumpkin vines were wrapped around the bamboo frame.
Li Shimin looked at the pumpkins the size of the millstone and sighed: "I didn't expect such a big melon to grow on such a thin vine." ”
I haven't seen it, Li Tai said with some pride: "Father, although the pumpkin is big, it is easy to rot and needs to be taken care of." ”
Li Shimin nodded, still observing the pumpkins.
Fang Xuanling sighed: "How long is this pumpkin enough for a family." ”
Li Zheng said helplessly: "It won't take long to eat, the pumpkin is easy to rot, and the fresh ones should be eaten early, and if they can't be eaten, they will be distributed to other villages, or they will be rotten and can only be fed to the pigs." ”
"Feed the pigs?" Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "It's a waste." ”
Li Zheng said: "Then what else can I do? If it is rotten, people can't eat it, so they can only be used to feed pigs, and pigs are also disgusted, and if the feed is mixed together, pigs are not happy to eat. ”
Li Shimin recalled that the taste of this pumpkin was indeed very good.
After a full burp, Li Shimin said: "Special fullness." ”
Fang Xuanling's expression became more and more excited, at first Li Zheng said that he still didn't believe it, but now it seems that this pumpkin really has a yield of 10,000 catties per mu.
The main thing is that these pumpkins are too big.
Even breathing became constricted, and the people were saved.
It is nonsense to know the origin of these crops before Li Zheng, but it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that these grains are in Jingyang, in Datang.
That's all that matters.
I also wondered in my heart, I had never seen these grains, let alone never seen them, even how to grow them was a problem.
Li Zheng can grow them, or does Li Zheng know the origin of these crops from the beginning, and how to grow these grains?
Fang Xuanling waved away these suspicions, saluted Li Zheng and said, "Jingyang County, please accept the old man's courtesy." ”
Li Zheng hurriedly helped him up, "Don't be like this, you are a big man, I can't stand it." ”
Fang Xuanling still bowed down and said, "You can afford this ceremony!" You saved the people of Datang. ”
"It's over, it's over." Li Zheng said.
Are you kidding!
Who is Fang Xuanling?
In later generations, he was a figure worthy of admiration and admiration.
Li Zheng helped him up, and he hurriedly returned the salute.
Li Shimin saw the ridge on the side sprinkled with red fist-sized fruit and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is a tomato." Li Zheng picked a few and handed them to them.
"Tomato?"
Li Zheng took a bite and said, "A kind of fruit and vegetable." ”
Li Shimin took a bite and said, "Hmm! It's refreshing. ”
Fang Xuanling also took a bite, the juice splashed, and the mouth with skin was a little sour, but the juice was very rich.
"How's this fruit and vegetable yield?"
Li Zheng said: "This is an ordinary fruit, the yield is not good, anyway, let's play cards if we are idle." ”
"Playing cards?"
Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin were both a little dumbfounded.
"What is playing cards?"
Li Tai explained: "Father, playing cards is a game, and now the old people in the village like to play it. ”
"Really? Then I will try it too? ”
Ask Li Tai to bring the cards made of bamboo boards from home.
A few people sat around the river and started playing cards.
The gameplay is not difficult to understand, explained a few times after playing a few rounds.
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling have already understood the gameplay.
Woo-......
Fang Xuanling took a bite of the tomato and hit a pair of threes.
Li Shimin: "One to five!" ”
Li Zheng pondered the cards in his hand, this Li Er and Fang Xuanling's understanding is okay.
After playing a few games this time, these two people played perfectly, and they could also draw inferences from each other.
So far, he has lost a huge amount of money.
"It's your turn." Li Shimin picked up the tomato and took a bite.
Woo-......
Juice splashes.
Fang Xuanling said: "Hurry up, I will have to deal with the government when I go back later." ”
Li Zheng played a card: one against ten.
Fang Xuanling also played cards: "A pair of Ks." ”
Li Shimin: "A pair of A." ”
Li Zheng: "......"
Fang Xuanling: "One against two." ”
Li Shimin: "Yes, no. ”
Li Zheng saw that there was only one Xiao Wang in his hand, and there was a bunch of single cards, and his face was gray.
