Chapter 255: I Grow Potatoes for the Tang Dynasty

Is Chen Chu stupid?

Apparently not.

All because when Li Er was looking for someone to grow potatoes.

The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved again.

Bite!

"A new mission has been started!"

"Mission name: Start with potatoes to solve the problem of food shortage in Datang."

"Quest Reward: Master Physics Skill."

Chen Chu was a little confused.

Through potatoes, solve the problem of food shortage in Datang?

This proposition is a bit big.

It is three or five years at the least, and more than ten years.

Isn't Lao Tzu's youth money?

What puzzled him the most was that the physics master skills?

It sounds like a citizen scientist.

Reliable, not?

"After acquiring the Master Physics skill, the host will have all the knowledge of physics from prehistoric civilizations to the 22nd century," the system explains. ”

Chen Chu pondered carefully, in this way, wouldn't he have mastered a lot of physics knowledge at once?

Sound, light, heat, electricity, force, quantum mechanics, etc., all can be clearly and clearly.

With the help of physics, you can come up with a lot of new things.

So, he took the task without hesitation.

……

Everyone looked at Chen Chu in astonishment.

They all looked at Chen Chu with a caring fool's eyes.

The eldest grandson Wuji said happily: "Your Majesty, it seems that after Chen Chu became a concubine, he has learned to worry about the country and the people, and cares about the affairs of the world. ”

Wang Qi said: "Since it was the horse who took the initiative to request, it is better to leave it to the horse to do it." ”

"Chen Juma has the heart to do things for the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty should fulfill him."

"Seconded!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

Everyone said in unison.

Li Er is a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

He turned his head to look at Chen Chu and asked, "Chen Chu, I will give you another chance, you can think clearly." ”

Chen Chu smiled: "Father, I think very clearly, I want to try ......"

Li Er was helpless and said: "Okay, since that's the case, I will let you plant potatoes, from now on, all the big and small things of potatoes will be done by you, and all the departments of the imperial court will fully cooperate with you...... You are still white, I will give you an official position to facilitate your actions, it just so happens that the Ministry of Industry still lacks a Tuntian Wailang, how about you hold this position? ”

Tuntian member Wailang is a six-rank official.

Many people looked at Chen Chu with envy.

From a white body, he jumped directly to the sixth grade, which is still rare in Datang.

However, Chen Chu shook his head: "Father, I am still a child, not suitable to be an official, if my father really wants me to grow potatoes well, it is better to promise me two conditions." ”

What the?

Chen Chu doesn't even want an official position in his hands?

Is this crazy?

For a while, the people present all showed incredible expressions.

Idiot!

Big fool!

Some people can't help but curse.

Li Er was also a little stunned.

He didn't even react.

He smacked his lips and asked, "Chen Chu, what conditions do you want me to promise you?" ”

Chen Chu said: "First, when I was in charge of planting potatoes, my father should trust me unconditionally, and I must not be replaced because of some rumors or slander. ”

Li Er thought for a moment.

Substitution on the spot is a taboo for soldiers.

It's the same with statecraft.

Grow potatoes...... It doesn't seem to be true.

So he nodded: "Okay, if you don't suspect in employing people, I can promise you." ”

Chen Chu continued: "Second, to grow potatoes, you need a large piece of land, preferably closer to Chang'an City. ”

Li Er said: "Yes, around Chang'an City, the royal family and the imperial court, there is still a lot of land, do you think you want a place?" ”

Chen Chu shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but when I think about it, it will naturally play." ”

"Okay, Chen Chu, don't worry, since you dare to deal with this matter, I won't treat you badly...... When you grow big potatoes, I will be rewarded," Li Er said happily......

Li Er was so happy.

The more I look at Chen Chu, the more pleasing I feel.

What a good son-in-law!

doesn't even want an official position, but he can grow potatoes for Datang wholeheartedly.

Just ask, how many such people can there be in the world.

He has no regrets at all now for marrying Li Lizhen to Chen Chu.

As everyone knows, Chen Chu's dream is to be an idle horse, not to become an official in the court.

How good it is to be a colt!

Don't be on duty!

No need to wake up early!

I'm not worried about not being able to complete my political achievements.

Whoever dares to bully me, I will stone him to death with money.

If you can't kill him with money, let my eldest princess's wife go out and scare him to death.

And once you become an official of the imperial court, there are many constraints.

Li Er was happy because he looked at Chen Chu.

And the eldest grandson Wuji and the others were happy because they fooled Chen Chu.

Li Er suddenly groaned: "Chen Chu has made great contributions to my Datang, and now he is willing to grow potatoes for Datang, I plan to make him a man in Lantian County, with 300 households in the city, from the five grades." What do you think? ”

Yes?

Everyone gasped.

A little confused.

I thought that the talented Liupin Tuntian Wailang was already very powerful.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er gave Chen Chu a Lantian County man after changing hands.

Chen Chu was also a little dumbfounded.

Lantian County male?

Lam tin?

What should have come is still coming.

It is said that Lantian is a threshold that traversers can't get around, and it seems that they can't be exempt.

Chen Chu saw everyone's surprised look and asked, "Father, this county man, you don't need to be on duty in the palace, right?" ”

Everyone: "......"

Li Er was stunned and said, "You kid just refused the Tuntian member wailang I gave you, just because you want to enter the palace on duty?" ”

Chen Chu nodded.

Li Er: "......"

Everyone: "......"

The first time I heard of someone who refused an official position because he was afraid of being on duty.

Everyone looked at Chen Chu like a monster, and it felt incredible.

And Li Er regretted that he gave away the title of Lantian County man.

This kid is really useless.

Outrageous!

He stared at Chen Chu and said, "You are now a man from Lantian County, and you are tasked with planting potatoes for the Tang Dynasty, you ...... You have to do it yourself! ”

After speaking, Li Er brushed his sleeves and left.

He was afraid that if he stayed, he would be sick by Chen Chuqi.

……

After Li Er and the ministers left.

Li Chengqian stayed.

He looked at Chen Chu puzzled and asked, "Chen Chu, are you crazy?" You actually want to go farming, do you know what is the most difficult official in the court, that is, the one who is in charge of agriculture and mulberry, and the farmer and mulberry rely on the sky to eat, and no one can say when the harvest will be bad, agriculture, beyond the reach of manpower! ”

Chen Chu shook his head: "Your Highness, what you said is not right!" ”

What?

Li Chengqian looked at Chen Chu in surprise: "Isn't it? How is it wrong? ”

Chen Chu laughed: "You'll know later......"

With that, he turned to leave.

It seems that it will take more than ten years to take this task to solve the food problem of Datang, but in fact, Chen Chu has carefully calculated that if it is fast, it can be solved in one year.

There are many other ways to solve the food problem besides potatoes.

For example, more scientific and reasonable planting methods.

For example, fertilizer!

For example, the improvement and upgrading of agricultural tools.

For example, the selection of seeds.

Wait a minute!

As a traverser, Chen Chu is fully confident that he will be able to solve these problems within a year.
