Chapter 71 His Majesty Li Er who smiled and shed tears

They are not stupid, they can let Yang Hao and Yang Zongtao drive the carriage, and there are only His Majesty Li Er and the queen mother in the whole world...

Sure enough, when the two carriages arrived at the gate of the Houfu, they stopped...

The first to get off was His Majesty Li Er, and the second carriage to get off was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian...

Cheng Chumo hurriedly ran to the door and shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived..."

Tao Ran and Ma Zhou are preparing to lead everyone to harvest potatoes...

Hearing the voice of His Majesty's arrival, he hurried over to greet him...

"I didn't know that Your Majesty arrived, Weichen couldn't meet him from afar, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me..."Tao Ran said respectfully...

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, thanks to you for arranging for the eldest girl to enter the palace today, the queen mother gave birth to the prince smoothly... I also heard from the eldest girl that the day of the prince's birth is the time of potato harvest... I and the prince can't wait to come over and see how the potatoes are yielding..."

His Majesty Li Er said to Tao Ran with a spring breeze on his face...

"Your Majesty came at the right time, and Wechen was preparing to start picking potatoes with all the family... Since Your Majesty is here, I am sure that this first harvest should be completed by Your Majesty, which has demonstrated that Your Majesty of my Tang Empire cares about the suffering of the people..."

His Majesty Li Er, who Tao Ran said, was overjoyed...

"Okay, I'll come and harvest this first potato and see what the yield is..."His Majesty Li Er said happily.

"My father, the emperor, and the ministers also want to experience the feeling of having fun with the people...", the crown prince Li Chengqian said with a red face.

"Okay, then give the prince a taste too..."

"Thank you, father..."Prince Li Chengqian said with a happy smile.

"Steward Ma, go and bring two buckets for Your Majesty and the Crown Prince..."Tao Ran said loudly...

"Don't bother, I can just go over in person..."His Majesty Li Er said and walked over to the neatly arranged potatoes...

"I remember when I first came, these twelve potatoes had just sprouted... I didn't expect it to be the harvest season so soon..."His Majesty Li Er said with a sigh.

"Yes, it's all taken care of by a few little girls, and with the protection of His Majesty's dragon luck, these twelve potatoes are growing gratifyingly, and it's already the harvest season... With the help of the queen's mother's fortune to add the prince's fortune, Wechen thought that the yield of potatoes would increase a lot..." Tao Ran replied respectfully.

"Okay, I'll see for myself today what the yield of the potatoes planted by Chang'an Hou is..."

His Majesty Li Er stood in front of a potato plant and didn't know how to start...

"Your Majesty, just pull it out with your hand..." Tao Ran reminded softly.

Tao Ran had already expected that His Majesty Li Er would come in person, so he had already asked Ma Zhou to organize everyone to pull out all the twelve potatoes...

As for the yield, Tao Ran has already known it, and the current twelve potatoes are all Tao Ran asked Ma Zhou to put them back into the bucket...

The reason for doing this is that first, he can let His Majesty Li Er easily taste the joy of harvesting potatoes, and second, he can have a general understanding of the yield, so as not to come to the crime of defrauding the king...

"Oh, it's so easy..." His Majesty Li Er asked with a little puzzlement.

"Your Majesty will know when you try it..." Tao Ran replied.

"Okay, then I'm going to begin..."

After speaking, His Majesty Li Er grabbed the root with both hands according to what Tao Ran said, and uprooted the whole potato plant at once...

"·····"

His Majesty Li Er and Prince Li Chengqian exhaled in unison...

Seven or eight fist-sized potatoes were tightly connected, and a dozen egg-sized potatoes were scattered around fist-sized potatoes...

His Majesty Li Er's excited eyes were red, this is a real ration, although she has not tasted the taste of this potato, but what Chang'an Hou said must be true...

The crown prince Li Chengqian rushed directly to a potato plant without waiting for His Majesty Li Er's instructions, and uprooted the whole potato plant with force like his father...

This potato plant is not as many as His Majesty Li Er's, and it is the size of five or six fists, closely connected, and there are several egg-sized potatoes scattered during the process...

"Father, father... You see so many potatoes..." Prince Li Chengqian smiled like a silly boy...

"Aiqing, this one has more than a pound... These seven or eight add up to at least a dozen catties of small ones, right? This is not only a yield of 800 catties per mu... Aiqing: It's okay to plant 500 plants on this acre of land, right? His Majesty Li Er asked excitedly.

"Five hundred plants is a bit less, and about eight hundred plants are planted normally..." Tao Ran replied.

"Haha... Haha..."

His Majesty Li Er looked up to the sky and laughed...

"In this way, even if 800 plants are calculated according to half of the current output, it is enough to produce more than 4,000 catties per mu... The day is coming when my people will no longer be hungry..."

His Majesty Li Er said as he spoke, tears fell...

Of course, Tao Ran couldn't let the people in the mansion see the scene of His Majesty's tears, and immediately waved everyone to retreat...

"Your Majesty's heart is for the people of the world, and Weichen admires it..." Tao Ran said emotionally.

Seeing the tears falling from the corners of His Majesty Li Er's eyes, the weakness of Tao Ran's heart was also deeply touched...

Having a Son of Heaven who really thinks about the people is also a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty...

"I'm happy, I originally thought that a yield of 800 catties per mu could be regarded as a divine thing, but I never thought that Chang'an Hou would give me such a big surprise... How is Aiqing going to promote this thing..."

"It's dinner time now, why don't you invite Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to taste the taste of this potato and then discuss..."

His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, after all, he didn't know what it tasted like...

"Okay, I and the prince will taste this potato here with Aiqing today..."

"Those ten potatoes..." Tao Ran said.

"These ten potatoes will rise tomorrow morning, and I want to let the civil and military officials see the true yield of these potatoes... I heard that someone went to the restaurant a few days ago to make trouble... I'm going to bang them..."

"Chief Yang immediately sent someone to bring these ten potatoes back to the palace. After tomorrow morning, I will discuss with Chang'an Hou how to promote planting..." His Majesty Li Er said to Yang Hao, the head of Yang Yang beside him.

"The old slave obeys..." So Yang Hao, the head of Yang, left in a hurry...

Tao Ran picked four relatively uniform large potatoes, peeled them and cut them into pieces and stewed them in the pot with the beef that had been prepared for a long time...

Then I fried two plates of vinegared shredded potatoes, and handed one plate to Cheng Chumo, who was next to the prince...

"Brother Chu Mo, hurry up and send it to the queen, this dish is appetizing, the queen definitely likes it... The stew in the pot will be almost cooked when you come back..."

"Okay, brother, I'll wait for me to come back and have dinner..." Cheng Chumo whispered in Tao Ran's ear.
