Chapter 119 gives the last general a potato, when the entire grassland can be recovered

Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng excitedly came out of class and said.

"Aiqing's guess is very correct, this is the edible potatoes that can yield up to 10,000 catties per mu, as for Aiqing's worries, this thing is too thick and round, and the problem that the branches can't hang does not exist, because it grows in the soil. It is precisely because of this that it has perfectly escaped the invasion of locusts and preserved the fruit intact, which has to be said to be an auspicious thing given by God······

"Your Majesty, such a magical food is really auspicious for the Tang Dynasty. Congratulations, Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. ”

"Minister, wait until your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

After the imperial historian Wei Zheng came out to congratulate him, the ministers congratulated in unison.

"The most amazing thing about this thing is not only that the yield per mu is high, but it is not afraid of floods and droughts, because the fruit is deep in the soil, so it does not worry about the scourge of birds and animals, and even such a serious locust plague this year has caused no damage to it. There is one thing that even I would never have imagined, that this is food that can be harvested twice a year·····"

Now all the people, whether they are civil ministers or military generals, all the ministers can no longer be calm.

10,000 catties per mu?

Two seasons a year?

This is too damn amazing, the ministers are staring at each other with big eyes.

The word shock could no longer describe the facial expressions of the courtiers.

"This... Your Majesty. Give the last general a potato, when the whole grassland can be recovered······"

Zuo Wuwei General Cheng Yanjin stared at a pair of big bull's eyes, and his loud voice sounded in the sky above the Xiande Palace.

"Haha... Haha··· What Su Guogong said was very heartfelt. Give Qing a potato, and you can recover the grassland. Wonderful, really wonderful... Once our army is no longer short of food and grass, it will be the time of the collapse of the Qiang people and the Turks. ”

His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and said viciously.

In recent years, the Qiang and Turks have repeatedly invaded our border passes.

He has committed many evil deeds that are the common anger of God.

The people of Biansai were miserable.

His Majesty Li Er and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were eager to kill the grassland as soon as possible and destroy the lair of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan in one fell swoop.

Wipe out these brute bastards completely.

Helplessly, little rabbit cubs like Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan are extremely cunning.

They often come by surprise to rob, and then when the soldiers of the border fortress react, they are retreating in a hurry.

Helplessly, the soldiers of the border fortress were short of food and grass, and they could not support them to chase after them for a long time, otherwise they would have gone to drink tea and chat with Lord Yama today.

It is estimated that for all the evil deeds they have committed, Lord Yama will not give them a good look, and the opportunity to drink tea is very small······

Now with the support of potatoes, the problem of food shortage in the Tang army is about to be solved.

It is no wonder that the ministers will see that in the early morning today, His Majesty Li Er, who is full of spirit and high spirits, appears in the Hall of Virtue.

"Your Majesty, I just don't know what this potato tastes like?"

Zuo Wuwei's general Cheng Biting Jin opened his mouth to say the biggest doubt in the hearts of the ministers, who wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"Haha, haha. Su Guogong asked well... This potato can be eaten in a variety of ways, it can be steamed, boiled, burned, baked, and can be sliced and dried to make a delicious snack, I have tried the taste of this thing, it is very delicious······"

His Majesty Li Er was the only one who did not say anything about himself, Empress Changsun and Changle, and tried the taste of vinegared shredded potatoes.

However, when he told the ministers some other ways to eat, his mouth was full of vinegar shredded potatoes, which had to be said to be an interesting thing.

After careful consideration, Lin Ran decided to go to Mengjia Village, Lijia Village, and Zhaojia Village in person.

After all, they are all villagers who have been begging for a living in the land together for generations, and Lin Ran can't watch the nearby villagers starving.

And he turned a blind eye.

Such a thing, for Lin Ran, who has received higher education, he really can't do it.

Lin Ran asked the old village chief Lin Zhengliang to lead the way, and first went to the home of Meng Xianchang, the head of Mengjia Village.

The reason why the old village chief led the way is because they are more familiar with each other, and it is easy to carry out another topic, and you are an eight or nine-year-old boy, and it is strange that others believe your words.

"Village Chief Lin, I haven't seen you for many days. What kind of wind blew you here, there is no food to entertain guests in Mengjia Village. ”

Meng Xianchang is a person with a straight character, and he will never beat around the bush when there is something.

and his father, Old Man Meng, a character who is alive and well.

"Village Chief Meng, I'm not the village chief now, this young man is the village head of our Lin Family Village. That is, the child of CHINT. Knowing that there is no food in your Mengjia Village, isn't this here to discuss food with you? ”

"It turned out to be the child of Dr. Lin's family, come and sit in the house. The old man of my family has been taken care of by Dr. Lin, and I have always kept it in my heart. ”

Meng Xianchang enthusiastically let Lin Zhengliang and Lin Ran into the house and poured water.

"Brother Zhengliang, what did you just say to discuss food for me? Did I hear me right? ”

After Lin Zhengliang and Lin Ran sat down, Meng Xianchang asked puzzled.

"That's right, we're here today to discuss this. You see, this year's crops have been destroyed in the hands of locusts, and even the seeds have not been recovered, and God will not give people a way to live······

"Yes, our Mengjia Village is now waiting for relief from the imperial court, if the imperial court does not provide relief, the entire village will be less than half a month, and most of the villagers will go out to flee the famine."

Meng Xianchang responded truthfully, his words were full of helplessness and bitterness.

"Uncle Meng, the junior wants to rent all the idle land in Mengjia Village, what do you think is the right price?"

Lin Ran decided not to beat around the bush, and came faster when he was direct.

"What? Can you think about it? This land has been abandoned this year, and it is useless for you to rent it. ”

When Meng Xianchang heard this, not only did he not be ecstatic, but he comforted him kindly.

Lin Ran knew that this Village Chief Meng was definitely a trustworthy and good person, and it was rare for someone to still maintain an upright conscience in the face of interests.

"Uncle Meng, the juniors have thought clearly, whether you want food or money settlement, you can do it. For specific details and prices, you can tell Uncle Zhengliang in detail. There is still something going on in the village of the younger generation, so I won't bother. ”

After speaking, Lin Ran got up and saluted and retired.

Meng Xianchang kept sending Lin Ran out of the gate before returning to the house.

When he came, Lin Ran had already explained to the old village chief that the price could fluctuate within a certain range, and the villagers could not suffer too much, and of course it could not be at the same price as the land in Linjia Village.
