Chapter 108: Pit Li Shimin again

"That's right, I've heard there's a world behind your tavern, and I'd like to see it."

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Ye Ping was really unhappy.

In this way, Li Shimin has already paid attention to his backyard.

This product really does everything.

But he still had to ask if his people had found something in his backyard.

If it is, it is scary.

He had to think about it and be careful in the future.

So I asked again

"Who did Lao Li listen to?"

Li Shimin didn't think much about it, and blurted out directly.

"Hole ......"

But halfway through the sentence, he stopped again.

Except for Kong Shaoqing, there seems to be no outsiders here.

And Kong Shaoqing may mention everything about this place to Kong Yingda.

If that's the case, then it's okay, it's not Li Shimin's monitoring.

"It's really, Brother Ye, are you still afraid that people don't know?"

Li Shimin seemed to sense that something was wrong, so he said bluntly.

The eldest grandson Wujian also said: "I also heard that there is a kind of topaz-like rice in your backyard, which is very attractive, and I really want to see it." ”

As soon as the eldest grandson said that Ye Ping knew.

It must be what he thought just now, it was the Kong family who said that Kong Yingfa's official position is not low now, and he may have talked to others about the last time, and Li Shimin heard it.

Otherwise, how would they know about corn? That was introduced in later generations, and it is not available now.

In this case, then he can rest assured, if it is not Li Shimin's monitoring, it is excellent.

He wanted to make a plan to make Li Shimin shocked, anyway, he had to know, and naturally the eldest grandson was indispensable.

The duo have a decent amount of points. Why not take it all at once.

So he said, "Yes, there are some things in my backyard, do you really want to see them?" ”

Seeing Ye Ping say this, it seemed to be smoother than Li Shimin thought.

It also made him a little unnatural.

"Really? If you could, it would be great! I'm afraid these things are very important to you. ”

Li Shimin showed enough interest.

"Say what? You're my friend, just take a look and it's okay, then please! ”

His corn hasn't been harvested yet, but it's almost ripe.

It doesn't hurt to show them just right. Now that the two of them are getting more and more difficult to do, how can they get high points if they don't give them something exciting?

After finishing speaking, Ye Ping instructed Xue Rengui to close the door again.

The group waited and headed for the backyard.

When they arrived in the backyard, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian were both dumbfounded.

The first thing that catches your eye is an acre of corn field, with yellow corn cobs hanging from the tall corn stalks.

The corn cob has exposed jade-like yellow grains, and the yellow luster looks very beautiful in the sun.

When they approached, a fresh fragrance came to their faces.

"What is this?"

Li Shimin asked, pointing to corn.

"This is the corn in your mouth."

"Can you eat it?"

"Of course, I'll make a few dishes for you to taste in a moment!"

"Then it's hard work."

Li Shimin is like a curious baby, looking east and touching west.

Obviously, this thing intrigued him.

"I didn't expect Brother Ye to have this kind of thing, where did this thing come from?"

Li Shimin asked the key point.

Ye Ping said.

"It was obtained by chance, and the same as the potatoes before, I got five catties of corn like this at that time, and then I planted it, but I didn't expect to be able to grow so much."

"That'...... How many of these can be produced? ”

Li Shimin asked more critical questions.

"The yield per mu is 1200 catties!"

"5 catties can produce 1,200 catties, which is comparable to the existence of potatoes, if it can be eaten, then Datang can be full even if there are more people."

Corn can increase the yield faster than potatoes, just the harvest of Ye Ping's acre, if you plant it again in the second year, you can plant 240 acres, and then in the third year, the amount is even more terrible, that is, it is growing at a rate of more than 200 times every year. The premise is not to eat it, but to use it all as seeds.

Li Shimin's long-term vision is the first thing he thinks of.

That's right, a potato and a corn can indeed make the population grow explosively, because when people are full, they will think about the problem of childbirth, if they are hungry every day, then if they have a few more, the whole family will starve to death.

This point also proves that Li Shimin, the emperor, is indeed not to be underestimated, which is why the rule of Zhenguan is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

And Ye Ping has reason to believe that after having him, Zhenguan will be the peak of the Tang Dynasty.

It's all because of his presence.

"So it just depends on how it tastes? If it's good, it's a good crop. ”

Li Shimin muttered.

This was said as if Ye Ping was going to give up the corn to him.

In Ye Ping's opinion, if you want to take these things, you must leave something.

But he wants to promote, after all, how much can he plant alone?

If it doesn't show up, put it at home, and just eat it.

But there is always a price, and this price must not be low.

He is ready to pit Li Shimin again.

Thinking about this, suddenly the eldest grandson Wujian pointed to a withered land.

"What is this?"

Ye Ping remembered that it was a peanut, and he had never had time to harvest it before. Mrs. Xue also didn't know how to harvest it, but she didn't expect that the leaves would wither on the winter solstice.

"That's peanuts!"

"Peanuts?"

"It's also called falling peanuts!"

"What does that mean?"

The eldest grandson was puzzled.

Ye Ping patiently explained: "The reason why peanuts are called falling peanuts is because after the flowers of peanuts fall, they will burrow into the soil, and then grow into pods in the soil, so that they bloom on the ground and bear fruit underground, so peanuts are also called falling peanuts." ”

This explanation shocked the two of them, but no points have yet appeared.

Looks like they'll have to try the food they're made of.

"And this peanut is also an accident?"

Li Shimin seemed to sense that Ye Ping would say this.

"Hahaha, too, I got 40 catties at that time, and I planted it into one acre, which can produce about 1,000 catties!"

As far as the source is concerned, Li Shimin really doesn't care.

But for this acre of property, he cares very much.

After all, there are few seeds, but they can produce high yields, which is what he wants.

When the people are well fed and the population is large, the whole country can be revitalized.

Only then will the economy develop and there will be more talents.

Things are done by people, and talents are the foundation of the country.

All sorts of positive things are emerging.

There were still a few plots of land on the side, but the land above them did not attract the attention of the two.

Because they plant too little, and even more like weeds.

I watched it for a while.

They returned to the antechamber.

At this time, Ye Ping had already picked a few things into the kitchen.
