Chapter 29 Forbidden potatoes

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, a report came from the border, and Goguryeo was constantly harassing the people on my border, robbing the goods that the countries paid tribute to me, and the minister thought that he should send troops to teach them a lesson." In the imperial study, Du Jun said in an atmospheric manner.

"The minister thinks it's inappropriate......

"The minister also thinks that it is not a good time to send troops now, the spring drought in the country has not been solved, and the problem of grain and grass is a huge problem. Wei Zheng frowned deeply and said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, if you want to deter Goguryeo, the best way at the moment is to send an envoy to give them a warning, and you should get through the spring drought first." Du Ruhui agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is the head of the household, and he also thinks that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time, and the winter food stored by the people will be eaten immediately, and the spring drought will be rushed, once the grain is not harvested, the people will have no food to eat, if the army is sent again, the grain and grass will not be ready, and the people will have a famine, then, we will face internal and external troubles, and the country will be in turmoil, Your Majesty."

Li Er, who was on the other side, slapped the fold in his hand on the dragon case, "Grain, it's food, in the final analysis, it's because of food." ”

Dai, the head of the household, felt deeply guilty when he saw the emperor so worried.

"Your Majesty is not completely helpless at the moment."

"Is there any way, Aiqing said quickly." As soon as he heard this, he was not incomprehensible, and Li Er raised his head again.

Dai Xuan arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the potatoes you brought a few days ago are not just suitable for sowing seeds in this spring drought, and the sandy land can also be planted, and the yield is high, I think it's time to promote, but ......"

Dai Xuan was a little hesitant, just afraid that if he said the next words, it would make many people unhappy.

"But what, say it quickly." Li Er was a little anxious.

At the moment, the border is constantly harassed, and troops cannot be sent, everything is stuck in the matter of food, if there is a way to solve this problem, then everything will be solved.

"I don't know how many potatoes you have in your hands, Your Majesty, is it enough for the people of the whole country to use as seeds? If it is not enough, I propose that from now on, no one should eat potatoes and keep them for seeds. ”

Dai Guan's expression after seeing that everyone in the hall had eaten potatoes that day, but if anyone got it, they would hide it, so he would speak.

For every one less potato, the farmer will lose one seed, which will reduce the country's output value a lot and make the people on the border suffer more.

"Hmm"

Li Er was a little irritated when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt very reasonable.

Moreover, Dai Xuan is an honest official, and he worked hard for the affairs of the household department, and after calming down his mood, he nodded.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to store this potato, if it is planted in a large area, it will rot after a long time, it will also cause a burden to the people." Fang Xuanling said after thinking for a moment.

After listening to him, the ministers also nodded.

If you want to plant a large area, you also need to solve the preservation method first.

Li Er sighed in his heart, "Hey, speaking of which, whether or not you can fight depends on Zhao Yin's kid, it seems that it will not work if you don't give marriage." ”

Originally, he was still thinking that after a while, when everyone forgot about it, he would find an excuse to cancel the marriage, but now it is a matter of the people of the world, not only can it not be canceled, but it must be decreed to give marriage.

Just when Li Erzheng was worried, the great eunuch Wang De ran in.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the secret guard who protects the princess came to report and said that Zhao Yin was ...... He took the princess to the Qinglou. ”

"What, doesn't this kid want to live? Pass the guards in. Li Erqi stood up angrily, clasped his hands on his waist, and stared.

When the guards heard the summons, they ran to the imperial study, and just as they were about to salute, they were stopped by Li Er.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about it."

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gongzi took the princess to the Qinglou, and also made a bet with the sons of several major families in the capital, and ...... He also said that he was a colt. The guard briefly explained the matter.

When Li Eryi heard about the bet, he was full of excitement.

He couldn't hear the word bet now, as soon as he heard these words, he would remember that he had lost the two princesses.

"What? Take the princess to visit the green house? It's unheard of. ”

"That's nonsense."

"Your Majesty has not yet given marriage, and he claims to be a concubine, what kind of system."

After hearing the report from the guards, the ministers shook their heads and began to discuss.

Li Er was also furious.

Just now, I was thinking that if I really couldn't do it, I would give marriage in exchange for the freshness of potatoes, but Zhao Yin blatantly went to visit the Qinglou and took the princess with him.

But in his anger, he thought of something again, and asked the guard with squinted eyes.

"You just said that he was making a bet with a few sons of the family?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard said respectfully.

"Bet on what?"

"Back to Your Majesty, that's the case, today the Chunmanlou in the city held a poetry meeting, Zhao Gongzi took the princess, as well as the two sons of the Cheng family, and the two sons of the Wei Chi family went together, and then said that the poems of the sons of those families were rubbish, so there was a contradiction, so I bet on the poems"

As soon as the guard's words fell, Fang Xuanling asked in surprise: "You mean the seven famous talents in the city?" ”

The guard nodded, "Yes." ”

"These seven talents are the most talented in Chang'an City, I'm afraid it will be ...... to fight poetry with them" Eldest Sun Wuji did not continue, but everyone also understood.

A farmer fights with them for poetry, and the result is actually self-evident.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know that Zhao Yin could compose poetry.

Because the eldest grandson Chong was afraid of being scolded, he didn't tell him that Zhao Yin could compose poems in three steps.

"What a gamble." Li Er put away his angry expression and sat down leisurely.

Empress Changsun told him about Zhao Yin's poems that day, and also read Zhao Yin's poems to him, but it was a good poem, and such talent would not be under those sons.

He had long seen that those clans were not pleasing to the eye, and if Zhao Yin could kill their arrogance, it would be good.

"The topic is from the last spring full of Lou Hua Kui, with a picture of the rain scene as a poem, and not only the poem has to beat them, but also the word has to win, all of them are indispensable, otherwise they will ......." The guards were a little speechless, for fear of being charged with great disrespect.

Li Eryi heard that he was going to beat them, and he was suddenly a little flustered, "Say it quickly, otherwise what?" ”

"Otherwise, you will climb out of the spring building like a dog." After speaking, the guard quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the holy face again.

Li Er suddenly became angry, and he just wrote poems, as far as his few strokes were not as good as those of a chicken, and he dared to take out calligraphy to compare with others, which was simply to lose his face.
