Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the popcorn in front of him, and the taste of eating one was quite unique.

After eating the first one and the second one, Li Shimin directly grabbed a handful and ate them one by one.

The taste is not good, but the texture of eating it makes people a little unstoppable.

Li Lizhi also gave Fang Xuanling some points.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie." Fang Xuanling took the popcorn.

Li Li replied politely and sensibly: "Uncle Fang doesn't have to be polite. ”

Fang Xuanling ate popcorn and said: "It has a different flavor, I remember that His Royal Highness King Wei also sent some potatoes over in those days, but it was a novelty, but I didn't know how to cook it." ”

Li Lizhi said: "I have eaten potatoes, and they are quite delicious after they are stewed. ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhen, is this little girl just eating Li Zheng's things casually?

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Really? The minister's wife tinkered for a while last night and didn't see the potatoes cooked. ”

Li Li nodded and said: "It's really not easy to cook, I saw Li Zheng cooking it over high heat, and after cooking it for a long time, I brought the pork, and the pork was boiled." ”

"Pig ...... Pork. Fang Xuanling looked at Princess Changle in surprise, could it be that Princess Changle ate pork?

I had heard that His Royal Highness King Wei ate pork before, and there were even rumors in the palace that Empress Changsun had also eaten pork to give birth.

I used to think that this kind of thing has always been a rumor, but now I think it's true?

I always thought it was a rumor.

"Ahem......"

Li Shimin cleared his throat in embarrassment and said, "What do you think of Fang Xiang after eating?" ”

Fang Xuanling ate a few popcorn and said, "It really has a different flavor." ”

Li Shimin took a sip of tea soup and said, "It's just that my mouth is a little dry after eating." ”

What is the concept of food that can be grown in the wasteland?

According to the yield per mu of Datang today, one mu of land can have ten stones of grain, which is all good fields.

It's not that Datang hasn't reclaimed wasteland.

In fact, wasteland has been cultivated for thousands of years.

There are even many wastelands that have been reclaimed hundreds of times.

Either because of the quality of the soil, or because of the lack of water.

Even constant irrigation will only cause weeds to grow in the wasteland.

And because of the lack of fertility, even weeds can't grow tall.

More than half of the wasteland around Chang'an is located.

Except for the place where he lives, the land that can be cultivated is only one-third of the land in Chang'an.

This is in addition to some of the poor harvests that have been harvested all year round.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked: "How much grain can Jingyang have in a year?" ”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "If Jingyang County is good for a year, it will be less than a thousand stones, and more than five hundred stones. ”

Jingyang County is next to the Jingyang River, and among the counties around Chang'an, the harvest in Jingyang is already good.

However, the north of Jingyang is mostly dry land.

Much of the land is wasteland.

Up to now, most of the 1,000 acres of land given to Li Zheng have been wasteland.

And it is these wastelands that Li Zheng is reclaiming.

Li Shimin looked at Li Li and asked, "Is this edible food really grown by Li Zheng?" ”

Li Lizhi stood aside and nodded, "Li Zheng really grew food in the wasteland, and it is lush and beautiful, I don't believe that my father will see it himself." ”

After speaking, Li Lizhi carried the food box and bowed slightly, and then left the Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin watched her leave, this little girl didn't treat her very well recently.

Because of the marriage, Li Lizhen said to her mother that I was not.

It's up to her to play a little trick.

Li Shimin let out a long sigh.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Jingyang to have a look." ”

Li Shimin stood up and said, "I will go and see for myself what Jingyang looks like now." ”

Without preparing a carriage or horse, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were escorted out of Chang'an City by Li Junxian.

Walking all the way to the outskirts of Chang'an City, many villagers living in the suburbs came to Chang'an to find work and earn some money to support their families.

The ongoing war in Liangzhou is too far for these people.

Along the way, you can also see many officers and soldiers with lazy expressions, who are guarding the stalls to collect grain.

But I didn't see a single person who came to sell food.

Li Shimin stopped a man counting the money in his hand, as if he had just received his salary and was going home.

"This brother, why don't you go to collect grain from the court."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the middle-aged man looked at the well-dressed Li Shimin and said, "Seeing that you are also a wealthy family, why don't you sell grain?" ”

He glanced at Li Junxian with a knife beside Li Shimin again, "There are also accompanying guards, you rich people don't want to give food for the court, so you come to ask us poor people what is the reason, how difficult it is for us to live these days." ”

His words made Li Shimin blush for a while.

Fang Xuanling also avoided his eyes, and was a little ashamed in the face of these words.

What he said is indeed right, some rich and noble families in Chang'an have not produced grain, so why should these poor people sell grain first.

The villager looked vigilant in the face of Li Shimin and walked away.

Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was not good, Fang Xuanling persuaded him: "Your Majesty, let's go to Jingyang first." ”

Nodding slightly, several people walked towards Jingyang.

Enter the woods and walk along the trail for half an hour, waiting to get out of the woods.

The scene in front of me suddenly opened up.

At a glance, it is full of life, which is very different from the yellow earth outside.

If you think about it, you haven't been to Jingyang for more than four months.

Now take a look at the rows of crops in the originally barren dry land, connected together.

Further afield, three huge waterwheels continue to bring water from the Jingyang River into the ditch, from which it irrigates acres of fields.

The villagers were working in the fields, talking and laughing with each other.

Walking into the village, as far as the eye can see, it is orderly.

The smiles of the villagers and the cheerfulness of the children.

It's not lively, but the first thing that feels like it's quiet, clean and orderly.

I can't help but relax.

Compared with the bustling Chang'an City, it is more peaceful and comfortable.

Li Shimin thought to himself, no wonder Qingque often comes to this place, who wants to face trivial matters all day long with such a quiet place.

A few children were gathering on the side of the road to read a book.

Li Shimin looked at the children and talked about a tree.

Looking at the fun, Li Shimin stepped forward and asked, "Children, what are you doing?" ”

Da Niu saw Li Shimin and said, "Aren't you the old brother who looked for a teacher before?" ”

Hearing this kid call himself like this, Li Shimin didn't care very much, but said with a smile: "You are a big cow, I remember." ”

The big cow grinned and said, "Let's measure how tall this tree is." ”

Li Shimin looked up at the big tree in front of him and instructed Li Junxian: "You climb this tree and help the children measure how tall it is." ”
