Chapter 126: Divine Objects from the Sky
Wei Xuanzhen rolled on the ground.
Born in the Wei family, as the head of the Wei family, he has never been insulted like this in his life.
And in the eyes of hundreds of officials, Your Majesty can be described as fierce today!
They can even have no doubt that whoever dares to stop His Majesty now, His Majesty will not hesitate to draw his sword himself and cut people into meat sauce.
In just three years, people have become accustomed to Li Shimin's kind and pleasant face, and they have slowly adapted to the fact that His Majesty is a magnanimous person who can always make appropriate compromises.
But now...... This scene suddenly reminded them of the emperor who personally got on the horse and killed seven in and seven out in the enemy formation, and also saw the person who rode a horse to ambush the prince's guard in the Xuanwu Gate and took the lead.
As a result, everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to come out.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others didn't have the heart to take care of the imperial trial in front of them.
This royal trial is indeed very important, and it can even be said that it is just a brawl on the surface, but in fact, it involves a wide range of people, which clearly affects the interests of all the worlds.
But now...... Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have completely forgotten this matter, compared to the yield of 1,000 catties per mu, what is the bullshit royal trial?
Fang Xuanling knows very well what it means to produce a thousand catties per mu, if it can really be realized, then ...... He will surely be famous for eternity, and he can become the most famous virtuous minister for thousands of years.
Because after hundreds of years of war and hardship, grain production will increase to the extreme, and several times the increase in grain production means that the treasury of the imperial court will be filled with countless grains!
At that time, the countless things about the use of soldiers and alms will no longer be a problem.
As for Wei Xuanzhen, no one pays attention to him at the moment.
Even many people feel that Wei Xuanzhen is a superfluous person now!
It's all this time, what are you still doing here, you are not cheap!
Everyone has no thoughts, even those who want to see Chen Zhengtai's jokes today, they don't have the slightest thought.
All they have on their minds now is ...... The yield per mu is 1,000 catties.
It can't be a lie, right?
This is a crime of deception!
Everyone hurried out of Minglun Hall with a sense of impatience.
Li Shimin felt dizzy, and when he saw the daylight, he felt that the world had become unreal!
He felt his feet on the cotton, and at this time he remembered something, and turned back and said, "Chen Zhengtai, where are your crops?" ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "Please come with me." ”
"Really? If you don't have a thousand catties, I will definitely cure you for the crime of deceiving the king. ”
Li Shimin's voice was stern and urgent, he was very scared, and in the end it was all in vain.
It's like a man who is dying of thirst in the middle of the desert, and you put a pot of water in front of him, and at this moment he has a desire to live, and his heart is ecstatic, and then you tell him, in fact, I am actually teasing you, there is no water in the pot.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai's heart was actually a little weak.
In fact...... He only knew that the theoretical yield of potatoes was very high, and after several previous seedlings, he could also confirm that a large number of potatoes could indeed be grown!
But it was the first time that the experimental field was actually cultivated, and the ghost knows if it could make up enough catties.
The potatoes I brought in my hiking bag should be the best variety after a thousand years, with the characteristics of cold and drought tolerance, ability to cope with certain insect pests, and high yield.
It's just that...... That being said, he also knows the truth of the southern orange and the northern orange.
If it weren't for this imperial trial, Chen Zhengtai would have planned to cultivate a few more rounds to see the actual effect, which is the most prudent approach, but now...... It's clearly too late.
Chen Zhengtai thought for a while, coughed more conservatively, and said, "Teacher...... This one...... This one...... Students do their best. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his heart sank, this guy ...... Really in order to get away with the crime, dare to bully the king?
When the officials behind heard this, especially when they saw Chen Zhengtai's lack of confidence, they were suddenly surprised.
By the way, where in the world is there anything that yields thousands of pounds per acre? If this grain can yield 500 catties per mu, it can be reported auspicious!
And the yield per mu is 1,000 catties, unprecedented for thousands of years, even in ancient classics, it has never appeared.
Chen Zhengtai is a dog thing......
Chen Zhengtai still led everyone to the test field, although he was a little unsure, but what if it really came true?
This experimental field is uplifted with soil, and the middle is a ridge, and several acres of crops are planted here.
A sign was hung in front of each acre of land and marked.
A trench was specially dug nearby to enclose these acres of land to prevent people from entering and leaving at will, and even here, there were special people to guard it.
At this time, the land has been covered with a large number of dead yellow plants.
This is the leaf of the potato that grows on the ground has withered, and it looks very broken as far as the eye can see.
Li Shimin only saw the leaves, but did not see the fruit, and couldn't help frowning: "Where is the fruit of this potato?" ”
"In the ground." Chen Zhengtai said honestly.
Li Shimin said: "Is it mature now?" ”
"It's ripe."
Li Shimin nodded, his eyes looked directly at the potato field, and he found that he had forgotten everything at the moment, and he said with full attention: "Harvest for me, come here, measure out an acre of land, I want to watch it harvest with my own eyes." ”
Li Shimin gave an order, and someone hurriedly took a long rope and began to measure, and after measuring out an acre of land, and then enclosing the land, Chen Zhengtai instructed the clerks and farmers of the Agricultural Science Museum to start working.
They have long been familiar with how to harvest.
In fact, potato harvesting is much easier to harvest than ordinary grains.
Dozens of people had already taken all kinds of containers, and then they went into the field, and began to dig lightly into the soil, and then they saw potatoes the size of fists emerge from the soil, and people effortlessly picked up the potatoes and threw them into the containers.
As the soil in the ground is cut away little by little, as far as the eye can see, the fruits under the floating soil in the ground are stacked on top of each other, and they are not small!
At this time, Li Shimin's expression was even more nervous.
The officials have begun to talk about it.
Li Shimin didn't seem to be completely at ease with the Agricultural Academy, so he glanced at Zhang Qian, who understood and personally commanded the eunuchs to get the big name.
Then...... They carry the weighing, and all the harvested potatoes are loaded.
"Your Majesty, thirty-two pounds ......"
"Sixty-nine pounds."
Every time they weighed, the eunuchs had to call out, and they knew that His Majesty was anxious to know the result at the moment, so they were not willing to waste any opportunity to perform.
Li Shimin still stood still, his eyes were still on the potatoes in the field!
This is a big thing, and he needs to watch it to the death, and he doesn't want to appear the slightest fake.
You must know that in the past, local state herdsmen, in order to falsely report their political achievements, have loved to falsify on this crop, and then announced with great fanfare that there was a good omen in the Tang Dynasty, or auspicious.
And today...... Li Shimin personally supervised, and he wanted to see ...... How much grain can be grown in this acre of land?
"One hundred and thirty-seven pounds."
Speaking of the Tang Dynasty's catties, it is actually equivalent to 600 grams in later generations, so the weight is higher than in this era.
When he read one hundred and thirty-seven pounds, Li Shimin's eyes became even more excited.
Because he sees...... There are still many potatoes that have not been harvested, and in some time this will exceed the average wheat and rice yield.
"Three hundred and twenty pounds."
The eunuchs were already out of breath, they carried their big names, and they didn't dare to be sloppy, and their foreheads were full of sweat at this time.
Wei Xuanzhen was beaten, still unconvinced, but he still followed, he wanted to see how Chen Zhengtai bullied the king!
But looking at the scene in front of him, his whole body was like being struck by lightning, his face was pale, and he even felt that his legs were weak.
What kind of luck is this stinky boy, is it...... Heaven is going to kill me?
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had already begun to talk about something in a low voice.
"Five hundred and thirty-nine pounds ......"
When Li Shimin heard this number, his whole body trembled.
He went to look at the weighed potatoes with his own eyes, and he took one of the potatoes and held it in his hand as if he were holding a treasure, which was mine...... It's mine, if I get this crop, ten years, just ten years, all the kings since Zhou Tianzi will be eclipsed in front of me.
From now on, who will still remember the Xuanwumen Change, and who will remember that the Emperor Taishang gave up the throne to me?
They will only know that I am the first monarch of the ages, the holy monarch of the ancients, and I need to be overshadowed in the face of my great achievements.
His hands kept rubbing against the skin of the potatoes, and his eyes were still looking directly at the potato field.
The farmers were still working hard in the fields, and they dug out the potatoes, which ...... It's like it's inexhaustible.
"Seven hundred and fifty-four acres." Another cry......
It's going to be a thousand acres.
In fact, Li Shimin is already very satisfied with these 754 acres, no...... It was completely beyond his expectations.
Among the hundreds of officials, someone suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "God is virtuous, God is virtuous......
This person is so excited, he is completely insane, more than 700 catties, more than 700 catties per acre, what does this mean, it means that the land that can support one family can now support three households.
In the era of agriculture-oriented, this is almost a miracle, not to mention that the yield has increased several times, that is, the increase in production is one or two percent, if it is placed in ancient times, such a person can also be comparable to Shennong and the Yellow Emperor.
In this world, I have been hungry for too long, and the memory of hunger has been running through since ancient times, and almost every generation has the mark of hunger!
Every year, countless people starve to death because of food, and the faces of the common people will never be separated from that malnourished dish, which shows how important food is to this temple and ordinary people.
It's just that Chen Zhengtai can't help but wonder, why is God virtuous?
That's a bit unkind...... I planted this potato.
"Nine hundred and seventy-four pounds." Another shout!
Li Shimin already felt that he had been greatly stimulated, and his blood was boiling, but for him, it was only on the battlefield that he had this feeling of excitement and dizziness.
His body shook a little, so he slapped Chen Zhengtai's shoulder with a big hand, and then stabilized his body.
The officials were suffocated, and they were now breathing.
"One thousand one hundred and thirty-one pounds ......"
At this point, the numbers have become unimportant.
The potatoes in the field are getting thinner and thinner, but the farmers are still desperately rummaging through the floating soil, hoping to pick up the fish that have slipped through the net.
But for everyone, this is an astronomical amount, enough, enough, if the number is added, the heart will not be able to bear it.
"One thousand two hundred and twenty-nine pounds."
This is the final number.
What is the concept of 1,229 pounds? This is nearly six times the yield of ordinary crops in this era, and the land that used to raise one family can now support six families.
Poof, Fang Xuanling knelt down.
In the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, unless there are special circumstances, the minister does not need to bow to the emperor!
But at this time, Fang Xuanling was too excited, and knelt directly in the dust, he looked up and looked at the tall Li Shimin, tears were pouring out!
At this moment, he didn't even know what he was doing, what Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change his calmness, what invisible bearing, to hell with him at this moment!
He choked uncontrollably and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... I am very hopeful. ”
This sounds a bit exaggerated, but it's definitely not a lie, and it's not a lie.
If the grain production is increased by six times, even if it is only doubled, the imperial court will be enough to increase the size of the army by more than three times and the war horse to five times.
Let alone......
Fang Xuanling continued: "Since then, there has been no hunger in the world, thanks to God's kindness, Your Majesty's blessings. ”
So, a person knelt down like Fang Xuanling, some people cried with joy, some laughed after crying, and some people were in a state of dementia.
That Wei Xuanzhen felt that everything in front of her was unreal, her mind was muddy, and finally her body was crooked...... Straight to the ground.
He couldn't say anything now.
His nephew was beaten, and the fugitive slave of the Wei family was shielded by Chen Zhengtai...... Does it still matter? These are farts, I thought it was a big deal, but now it's extremely small, which is also worthy of being compared to this potato?
Thinking of this, Wei Xuanzhen finally found some strength, and then knelt down...... His heart trembled.
At this time, there was only a feeling of trepidation in his heart.
He even felt ...... Even if His Majesty kills him directly today, the subjects of this world will never say a word to him at this time!
The Wei family has been prominent for dozens of generations, and even if this prominent family business is completely wiped out now, no one will say a word of justice to them at this moment.
He kowtowed, and in his eagerness, he hurriedly said: "Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths...... Old...... Chen Jungong beat his nephews, he fought well, he fought well, he fought well. ”
Wei Jieyi was also stunned when he saw his uncle like this!
There are too many shocking things today, and at this moment, his eyes are full of tears, which ...... It's hard work...... It's just struggle.
Brother Chen really didn't deceive me, as long as people work hard and struggle, they can make great achievements that no one can match, Brother Chen...... I want to work hard with you......
Li Shimin took a deep breath, he closed his eyes and looked at the dense people on the ground, but he didn't have the heart to care about Gu Fang Xuanling and the others, his eyes fell on the basket of potatoes again!
He tried his best to calm himself down at the moment, and then he looked at Chen Zhengtai, and said with an unusually serious face: "If this thing is used as a staple food, is it feasible?" ”
Chen Zhengtai nodded very seriously: "Your Majesty, it's okay." This thing is rich in nutrients, even ordinary white rice, and it may not be as good as it, of course...... It also depends on the individual's habits. ”
This is the truth, in later generations, the Americas and Europeans will take this potato as a staple food, because the potato contains a lot of starch, so it can provide rich calories for the human body, and rich in protein, amino acids and a variety of vitamins, minerals, especially its vitamin content is the most complete of all food crops, as a staple food, there is no problem at all.
As for the taste, you don't have to worry too much, you can't even afford to eat, and whether you prefer white rice or not has nothing to do with it.
What's more, as long as this thing is in the hands of the ancestors, it will definitely be able to exert all kinds of imagination, and there will be no problem in making dozens or hundreds of ways to eat, there will always be one suitable for you.
Li Shimin finally let out a sigh of relief, with great joy in his heart, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good, very good, if so, I will rest assured." ”
He subconsciously put the potato under his nose and sniffed it, regarded the potato as a treasure, and said happily: "Yes, this crop is indeed priceless, priceless, I would rather exchange Chang'an and Luoyang for this thing, let alone a million gold." ”
Chen Zhengtai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, even if the teacher wants to exchange Chang'an and Luoyang for this crop, the students will not dare to accept it." ”
Li Shimin glared at Chen Zhengtai, he was very emotional at the moment, and all any joy and anger became polarized: "I am just an analogy, what, do you really want Chang'an and Luoyang?" ”
Chen Zhengtai trembled all over, and suddenly felt that his neck was cold, this is what you said, you have to make an analogy, why don't you mention it in advance, so that I am passive now.
Chen Zhengtai said: "Teacher, although this crop was discovered by students, how could there be students without the teacher's words and deeds?" The so-called drinking water thinks of the source, in the final analysis, this crop is not only a student, but also a teacher, I am afraid that it is the teacher's love for the people, touched the heavens, so God gave the students, it is to come to the teacher to offer this thing, the teacher wants to take it, why say to change it? It turns out that in the eyes of the teacher, only take this area of potatoes, but also use the word change, is it possible that the teacher-student relationship between the teacher and the students can be replaced and replaced with this area of potatoes? If the teacher mentions the change of words in the future, although the students respect the teacher, they can't help but disobey the teacher, this is the teacher's humiliation to the students, the students must speak up, criticize the teacher for actually seeing the feelings of the monarch, the minister, the teacher and the student, so worthless. ”
