Chapter 183: Baicao Garden (Fourth Update, Asking for Reward)

The second day of February is the annual spring ploughing festival.

Li Kuan selected the thickest and fatter wead from the greenhouse as seeds, and sowed them in the land himself.

It stands to reason that at this time, some fruits and vegetables such as sunflower can be grown without a greenhouse.

However, in order to speed up the breeding speed, the cultivation of woad is still placed in the greenhouse.

Under normal circumstances, it basically takes two to three months from sowing to maturity, flowering and fruiting; However, if you cultivate it in a greenhouse, you can basically complete a replacement every two months.

Over the course of a year, the selected seeds are equivalent to five or six evolutions.

According to what Li Kuan learned from "Primary Agricultural Skills", it will not take three years, and under this deliberate selection, pine grass can initially become the fat and big appearance of later generations.

The people of Datang have one more vegetable that is easy to store in winter.

"Lord Wang, it seems that Miss Cheng hasn't been to the palace for a while."

Qing'er helped Li Kuan on the side, scattering a handful of woad seeds in the ground.

"Didn't the peach blossoms in the south garden bloom, I asked you to arrange for someone to pick them, did they all pick them back?"

Li Kuan didn't answer Qing'er's words, but asked a question that seemed inexplicable to Qing'er.

"I took someone to pick the apricot early in the morning, and you can see it in a while."

Although Li Kuan has several personal maids such as Qing'er, Xiang'er, Xing'er, and Xingxiang, Qing'er has followed Li Kuan the longest and is a well-deserved big girl, and she is responsible for all kinds of division of labor.

However, Xiang'er and Xing'er are not in the palace most of the time because they have to take care of the treasure pavilion and the clothing shop.

Therefore, today Qing'er asked Xingxiang to take a few maids to pick peach blossoms.

"Okay, I'll urge you later, whether the small glass bottle I want has been fired."

……

After being closed for a while, the store reopened.

It's just that everyone found that all the drinks in it were reduced by two percent compared to before.

However, it was already expensive before, the big altar was ten times for one altar, the middle altar was five times, and the small altar was two times, even if the price was reduced, it was not for ordinary people.

Correspondingly, after the burning knife was sold in the Treasure Pavilion, it was the sky-high price of 50 in the big altar, 25 in the middle altar, and 10 in the small altar, which refreshed the wine price of Chang'an City.

The price difference between the two is relatively large, which makes Qilixiang Shop breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, in Li Kuan's opinion, the alcohol content of Qilixiang is more than ten degrees, but his burning knife can reach about 50 degrees.

Therefore, it is normal for the price to be several times more expensive than Qilixiang.

As for the difference between grain and wine, whether the logical relationship between this is reasonable or not, Li Kuan doesn't care.

Anyway, at this price, I love to buy it or not.

Anyway, I went to the pockets of the steppe people.

After all, winemaking is still a waste of food, and before the food is not abundant enough, Li Kuan does not want to cause a large amount of grain within Datang to be invested in winemaking because of himself.

As for the promise to the Cui family, outsiders thought that Li Kuan had regressed, but in fact, if he really wanted to sell burning knives, he would just open a few more treasure pavilions in various places.

Anyway, what I said was that the burning knife was only sold outside the Treasure Pavilion and Datang.

……

Recently, there has been a group of people in the West Market, and these people are buying seeds that people don't often hear about.

Especially once they see Hu merchants returning from the Western Regions, they will take the initiative to visit to see if there are any novelties to bring back, and by the way, they will also ask them to bring back seeds and seedlings of local vegetables, fruits and other local characteristics when they go back next time.

Needless to say, this kind of bizarre request must have been put forward by Li Kuan.

"Lord Wang, this Hundred Herbs Garden is about to become a new joke for the nobles of Chang'an City."

Laifu followed behind Li Kuan with a depressed face, watching him busy in the garden.

A dignified prince, like a farmer, planted flowers, grass, and vegetables in the garden, and also let people raise a group of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, which made Rifle very depressed.

"The annex covers such a wide area, there are so many open spaces that don't grow anything, what a waste. Besides, don't look at the current herb garden, but when all the flowers and trees have grown, you will find that the season is like spring, and when the season comes, all kinds of fruits can be picked......

Laifu couldn't listen to what Li Kuan said at all, in his opinion, even if it was all like what Li Kuan said in the end, so what?

"It doesn't cost much to be left and right, and being idle is also idle."

Affle: ......

Of course, Li Kuan would not say that he was doing this in order to find some species that had not yet been popularized in Datang.

Historically, the most exotic plants and flowers came from the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the former opened up the Western Regions and brought back many new things, including walnuts, carrots, grapes and the like; Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, in the Age of Discovery, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, corn, peanuts, and other common things in later generations were all passed down at that time.

In later generations, many people whitewashed the braids, saying how prosperous it was and how much the population had increased.

In fact, one of the most critical factors in the increase in the population of the Braided Dynasty is the popularization of high-yield foods such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, which leads to a better solution to the problem of food and clothing than in the previous dynasty, so more people survive.

……

In the court in the spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan, a major event had just happened.

Li Shimin officially appointed Li Jing, Xiao Yu and other thirteen people as deposed ambassadors, toured all the roads of the world for himself, and asked the deposed ambassadors: the chief inspector is virtuous and unscrupulous, asks about the people's suffering, respects the elderly, provides relief to the poor, and uses people who have been stagnant for a long time.

It can be said that this is a good measure to improve the level of governance of local officials.

After all, the holy decree says: Whoever the envoy comes, it is like me coming.

It can also be seen from the list of people who served as the ambassador of the deposed province that all of them were ministers of the DPRK and China.

However, those who have a heart can also find that many of them are actually a bit special......

Li Jing, that is the god of the army, not to mention the high merit of the master, at least it is already a little easy to cause the king to worry.

Xiao Yu, needless to say, the old minister of Wude often works against Li Shimin, and he tosses back and forth several rounds just by resigning and resurrecting.

Wang Jue, a veteran of Wude......

Chen Shuda, a veteran of Wude......

In short, through this operation, Li Shimin completely controlled the court.

Of course, strictly speaking, after defeating the Eastern Turks, even if Li Shimin controlled the court, he was not as stable as he is today.

After that, some people in the court began to write letters one after another, proposing: to build a summer palace for the emperor to escape the summer.
