Chapter 354: The brick road shows its might

Li Shimin's face suddenly sank, and he issued an edict to prohibit Xiangrui, and Merton and Su Linong actually committed crimes against the wind.

"Let them come over, I want to see what tricks the Mo family wants to play!"

Li Shimin didn't mention Su Lingnon at all, Su Lingnon had been immersed in agriculture all his life, so naturally he couldn't think of these flowers, it must be Merton's idea, in Li Shimin's heart, if Merton didn't make some moths, it wouldn't be Mo's son.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" As soon as Merton saw Li Shimin, he immediately said in unison.

"He Xizhi, can you two still find the Qilin Phoenix?" Li Shimin's face was not good.

Merton's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, and he said: "The unicorn phoenix is a fairy thing, how can the kid find it, but the thing that the kid came to offer today is more precious than the unicorn phoenix?" ”

"More precious than the things of the gods!" Li Shimin did not believe it.

Merton nodded solemnly and said: "What is the use of immortal things for the country and the people, but this thing can benefit the people of the world." ”

After Merton finished speaking, Su Lingnon immediately presented a flower pot.

The pot is covered with thick snow, and a few green leaves are particularly dazzling on the white snow.

"Your Majesty, the spinach trial has been successful." Su Lingnon trembled.

Li Shimin suddenly got up, looked at the spinach seeds in surprise, and was even more excited than seeing the peerless treasures, which may be the most satisfactory auspicious thing he has received since he ascended the throne.

"This dish can survive in the snow and ice!" Li Shimin couldn't believe it.

Although he knew that spinach could grow in winter, when he saw the spinach still growing in the snow and ice, his heart was shocked.

"After surviving after heavy snowfall, this thing will definitely be able to be promoted in the north of Datang, and from then on, there will be no worries about green vegetables in the north of Datang in winter." Su Linong said with conviction.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief gently, in this era, let alone ordinary people, it is said that the emperors and nobles can't eat green vegetables in winter, and they are already first-class people who can eat dried vegetables and pickles.

Among the royal family, although there are some hot springs that can cultivate a little bit of green vegetables, Rao is like this, there are still many monks and little porridge, which is not enough for everyone in the palace to eat.

Li Shimin looked at the emerald green spinach and suddenly moved his index finger, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and said: "Whether this thing is edible or not, I don't know what it tastes like." ”

Morton suddenly raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, this thing is a rare delicacy, whether it is in a hot pot or stir-fried with eggs, it is a first-class delicacy......"

Merton was talking to the fullest, when he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and saw Su Lingnon looking at him with angry eyes, gritting his teeth and saying: "When did you eat spinach, do you know that this is the hope of the people in winter!" ”

Su Lingnon attaches more importance to spinach, and he knows clearly that there are a few spinachs in the entire Mo Mansion, as far as he knows, the number of spinach has not decreased, how could it be exploited by this kid Merton.

Morton suddenly knew that he was exposed, and hurriedly explained: "Master Su, don't worry, the kid just picks a leaf for each spinach, and it does not affect the growth of spinach." ”

Winter is coming, where are there vegetables to eat in Mofu, especially Moton from later generations, it is even more unbearable to have no green vegetables, and secretly eat a few times to satisfy his hunger.

"That's not going to work either!" Su Lingnon said angrily.

"Okay, okay, Su Aiqing, although this kid is stubborn, he also knows how to measure, picking a leaf does not damage the root of spinach." Li Shimin made a hidden look at Merton while talking to the mud.

Merton suddenly sighed, and nodded helplessly, when he picks spinach leaves again in the future, I'm afraid he will have to give a share to Li Shimin.

The emperor's house is also short of vegetables!

"In addition to offering spinach, Weichen and others have one more thing, that is, the cottonseed has been transported to Mofu!" Merton Road.

"Cottonseed!" Li Shimin's heart tightened.

Cottonseed shipment means that cotton can be planted next year, for cotton, Li Shimin can be said to love and hate, cotton to Datang benefits are too great, but it has an impact on Datang's monetary system, if you are not careful, it will definitely cause a catastrophe.

"Your Majesty, once the cottonseed is planted, the cotton will definitely be promoted rapidly in my Datang, and the matter of silk, please make plans as soon as possible." Su Lingnon said worriedly.

Li Shimin nodded solemnly and said: "The brick road from Chang'an City to Longyou is about to be built, and one of the purposes of my brick road is to defeat Tuyuhun, and the other is to do silk. ”

Merton nodded, once the brick road was built, the road to the Western Regions would definitely be several times more convenient, and the amount of silk transactions would definitely be doubled.

In this way, the impact of cotton on silk must be much lighter than expected.

………………

The snow is blowing,

The first snow of the seventh year of Zhenguan was extremely heavy, and the snow was sprinkled continuously for three consecutive days, and the snow on the roof was at least a foot thick.

On the fourth day, the heavy snow had just stopped.

"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, thousands of paths and people disappear, lonely boats, fishing alone in the cold river and snow."

In the past few days, because of the heavy snow, the Guozijian has been suspended, and Morton has been so idle, when he woke up, the sky was already bright, he pushed open the door, and saw the snow in the courtyard.

"Good poetry, Mo boy is so interested!" The hearty voice of the great Si Nong Su Lingnon came unexpectedly.

"Oh!" It turned out to be Su-sama! Merton suddenly said in a state of interest.

Thieves don't recruit themselves for three years, since Merton admitted to stealing spinach leaves, Su Lingnon often came to Mo's house, making Merton in his own house, and being stared at like a thief.

"But Mo Boy's poem doesn't fit the occasion very well." Su Linong shook his head suddenly.

"Then Lord Su said, where should this poem be." Not the right time! Merton was immediately furious, and the famous poems he specially copied dared to say that they were not in the right place.

"If it was before, it would have been reasonable to say that the traces of Wanjing people had disappeared, but now it is different, the old man has heard that the brick road in the south of the city, even if the snow is flying, it is still an endless business trip, and pedestrians are constant!" Su Linong quipped.

A heavy snowfall made Chang'an City completely see the advanced place of the brick road, and the traffic in the entire Guanzhong area was blocked because of the heavy snow, but there was one place that was particularly conspicuous, that is, the official road in the south of the city.

Every other mile, the Mo family would hire a few nearby villagers to be responsible for clearing the snow, and after three days of heavy snowfall, the snow on the official road in the south of the city was cleared, and it was still unimpeded.

"Losing a good poem can make people travel without worry, and that's not a loss." Merton laughed.

Su Lingnon nodded and sighed: "The brick road is really eye-opening, ordinary official roads from snow to snow, can not be opened to traffic without ten days and a half months. But brick roads are different, as long as the snow is cleared, they can be directly unimpeded. ”

This heavy snowfall made Chang'an City from the imperial court to the people of Li clearly aware of the benefits of the brick road.

The construction of brick roads was once again put on the agenda of the imperial court.
