Chapter 51: Growing food in the town king's mansion

Soon, Gonggong Wu summoned all the guards patrolling the Zhenwang Mansion.

Li Chengfeng also went to the blacksmith shop and found 12 iron hoes, which were then loaded with wooden sticks and assigned to twelve guards.

Return to the town king's mansion.

Li Chengfeng said: "The patrol guards of the Zhenwang Mansion, this prince summoned you today, in fact, there is something for you to help!" ”

"See the wasteland behind the compound of my town's palace? Today's task is to open up the wasteland for this prince, understand? ”

"Yes, Eighth Prince! The ministers will definitely serve the Eighth Prince well! ”

Led by a guard commander, he spoke respectfully to Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Okay, don't say that I will treat you badly!" When you finish clearing all the land in the backyard, this prince will reward you with 1 gold each! ”

"Yes, the ministers have thanked the Eighth Prince!"

The guards had excited expressions on their faces.

They worked as guards in the palace, and their monthly income was only eight silver coins, and as long as they opened up wasteland for the eighth prince, they could get 1 gold money, could this not make them happy?

This is the territory of the Zhenwang Mansion, since it was the Eighth Prince who asked them to open up the wasteland, then they can do it!

……

Soon, under the command of Li Chengfeng, 12 guards went to the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion to open up the wasteland.

There are more than a dozen acres of planting area here, and if all the wasteland is cleared, all the ingredients and seeds that Li Chengfeng bought from the system should be able to be planted.

Li Chengfeng opened the backyard of the palace in the deserted town, and after this matter reached Li Shimin's ears.

Li Shimin was instantly shocked.

This little rabbit cub knows how to toss blindly all day long.

Don't go to Wenxuan Pavilion to study, and engage in some bizarre fame every day?

"Hmph, Wei Zheng, let's go to Zhenwangfu with me to see what the Eighth Prince is doing now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng came to the Zhenwang Mansion together.

'The emperor is coming' sounded, and Gonggong Wu hurriedly came out to greet him, and Li Chengfeng also walked from the bedroom to the hall, and said, "Erchen greets his father!" ”

Looking at Li Chengfeng's naughty appearance, Li Shimin suddenly felt very helpless.

I can't beat it, I can't scold it.

In case he scolds the Eighth Prince, this kid will say that Li Shimin, you are shameless, then Li Shimin really has no face!

Moreover, it is not the first time that Li Shimin has been scolded by Li Chengfeng's name, so thinking about it, Li Shimin's heart even has a shadow.

But Li Shimin is still very fortunate that Li Chengfeng was able to save Princess Changle on Chang'an Avenue.

So speaking of which, Li Shimin still owes Li Chengfeng a favor!

"Feng'er, what are you asking the guards to dig into the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion?"

Li Shimin grimaced and continued: "Feng'er, don't you know that the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion is going to build a garden in the future!" You've dug it all? What is it going to do? ”

"Back to my father, my son is going to grow food in the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion!"

"What? Growing food? ”

Li Shimin was a little surprised.

Then, he raised his head and smiled dumbly, and said, "Emperor, it turns out that I blamed you!" However, the food is grown by the people of the world, so you don't need to worry about it! Moreover, in the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion, growing food is inevitably a little too small, so you should not open up the wasteland for the time being, right? ”

"No, no, no, father, you misunderstood me!"

Li Chengfeng frowned and said, "Father, the son flew from the Zhenwang Mansion to Chang'an Avenue a few days ago!" Over there, the sons witnessed the suffering of the people! The rich get rich, the poor get poor! It can be said that Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are starving bones on the road! ”

"What?"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Li Shimin was instantly shocked, but Wei Zheng on the side didn't dare to say much.

They usually live in the palace, how do you know what the life of the common people is like?

However, Li Chengfeng went south to Chang'an City a few days ago, but he saw through the essence of the life of the common people at a glance?

Can this not shock Li Shimin?

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng continued: "Father, Erchen once saw the old people and children who were poorly clothed and hungry on Chang'an Avenue, but the rich and noble people passing by turned a blind eye to it, and it was really difficult for Erchen to look at this scene!" So, Erchen plans to personally research some food that can be mass-produced! ”

After listening to Li Chengfeng's words, Li Shimin's heart instantly had five flavors of grains, and he even sighed a little to himself.

It turned out that Li Chengfeng flew to Chang'an Avenue not to play, but to inspect the people's suffering, and by the way, he went down to Princess Changle?

With such a prince who cares about the world, who else is in the entire palace?

If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince had already been established, Li Shimin would have wanted to directly support Li Chengfeng as the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Chengfeng still has one thing that worries Li Shimin, which is his character.

This kid has a naughty personality, and although he is smart, he seems to like to play tricks on people, and he doesn't eat hard and soft.

Therefore, Li Shimin thinks that letting Li Chengqian be the prince and Li Chengfeng be the king of the Tang Dynasty should be the most perfect ending!

"But the emperor, with your own strength, how can you improve the food of the people today?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengfeng replied, smiled, and said, "Father, you don't have to worry about it!" Since childhood, Erchen has loved to develop some food seeds! ”

Li Chengfeng took Li Shimin to the side of the four generations of food seeds in the hall, and said, "Father, look at it!" These four generations of seeds are: potato seeds, sweet potato seeds, watermelon seeds, and hybrid rice seeds! If the retainers grow all this grain, and then make it into seeds and distribute them to the people of the Tang Dynasty, then the food they grow in the coming year will definitely increase greatly! ”

"Oh? Is that really the case? ”

"Of course!"

Li Chengfeng nodded confidently.

"Erchen once saw the difference between the rich and the poor of the common people on Chang'an Street! If even Chang'an City, the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, has countless beggars living upside down, then how can you do it in Youzhou City and Xuanzhou City? There will only be more people suffering on their side! Therefore, Erchen plans to personally develop the seeds of these ingredients and distribute them to the people! I don't want them to be rich and rich, but I want them to have no worries about food and clothing! ”

"Yes, yes! Feng'er, it's your father who blames you! ”

Li Shimin pursed his lips tightly, but for a while, he didn't know how to speak.

These were originally things he should have done, but he didn't expect Li Chengfeng to do them?

Therefore, regardless of the success or failure of Li Chengfeng's experiment, Li Shimin felt that he had to support the idea of the Eighth Prince.

You can't hit him, you should support him well.
