Chapter 40 The Significance of Eight Hundred per Mu
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what kind of system is panicking? Didn't my father let you go to Chang'an Houfu for a private visit? His Majesty Li Er said unhappily.
For the crown prince Li Chengqian and His Majesty Li Er's requirements, I still want to be harsh.
Although he likes this eldest son very much, as the successor of the future Tang Dynasty, he can't sit in the world just by relying on his father's liking!
Therefore, no matter when and where, His Majesty Li Er's requirements for the crown prince Li Chengqian are very strict and demanding.
This also made the young heart of the crown prince Li Chengqian begin to take on great responsibilities!
"Report to my father, my son has just returned from Chang'an Houfu, so I am in a hurry to report to my father..."Prince Li Chengqian stabilized his mind and replied solemnly.
"Oh, what did the prince find?" His Majesty Li Er immediately came to the spirit and asked excitedly!
"When Erchen just went to Chang'an Houfu, Chang'an Hou was teaching!"
"What? Teaching? Who to teach? "His Majesty Li Er issued three question marks in a row!
"When Erchen went, Chang'an Hou was teaching his sisters, teaching a poem."
"Teaching my sister? What poem? Does the prince remember? His Majesty Li Er asked urgently.
"Erchen remembers that it is a five-character poem, and Erchen has never heard it, but Erchen thinks it is a very good poem."
"Since I remember, the crown prince recited it to his father, so that his father could hear what a good poem was."
"On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian recited in style!
His Majesty Li Er fell into a brief contemplation. "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work."
"Good poetry, good poetry... The first two sentences seem to be bland, but they are actually ambushing the last two sentences! It's really a good poem that will last forever......" His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, can Chang'an Hou give a detailed explanation of this poem?"
"Back to my father, there is a detailed explanation."
"Oh, let's hear it from my father."
"Chang'an Hou explained that it is not easy for the people to cultivate land and farm, and every grain of rice is exchanged for the sweat of the people, so we must learn to cherish, be diligent and thrifty, and be self-reliant."
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
"Erchen agreed with Chang'an Hou's statement, and Erchen felt that Chang'an Hou said it very well, so he cheered loudly when he explained it wonderfully, interrupting his lecture..."Prince Li Chengqian said with a red face.
"Haha, haha, good! He is worthy of being my son, and if I heard it here, I would have cheered loudly..."His Majesty Li Er said with a happy smile.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is there anything else to gain from this trip?" His Majesty Li Er then asked.
"Report to my father, yes, it's still a big surprise for my father!" Prince Li Chengqian said excitedly.
"Oh, really? Hurry up and listen to your father. His Majesty Li Er obviously couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
"Father, Chang'an is waiting to do a big thing, an earth-shattering event, a big event that is enough to make the father and mother not sigh and let the people of the Tang Dynasty not be displaced......"
His Majesty Li Er suddenly became very solemn, he knew his eldest son too well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
Nothing particularly shocking, he would never talk about it like that.
"In this way, it's really a big deal......" His Majesty Li Er said as he looked at Li Chengqian with wide eyes.
"Yes, father, Chang'an is waiting to try to grow a kind of food, once the trial is successful, my people in the Tang Dynasty will never endure hunger again......" said Here the crown prince Li Chengqian actually had tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
"Oh," His Majesty Li Er stood up violently!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, tell my father quickly, did Chang'an Hou say how many catties per mu you can produce?"
"No, you let my father guess, three hundred catties?"
Prince Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Four hundred pounds of ......"
The crown prince Li Chengqian still shook his head.
"Five hundred pounds?"
His Majesty Li Er's voice was already trembling......
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian still shook his head.
"Father, don't guess. Chang'an Hou said that even if it is a barren land, it can yield 800 catties per mu. ”
"What? Eight hundred pounds? ”
His Majesty Li Er sat on the dragon chair with his ass, and the whole person seemed to be stupid!
"Eight hundred pounds, eight hundred pounds..."
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er looked up to the sky and laughed! "God bless my Tang people! Once the trial planting of 800 catties of food per mu is successful, why should the people of Datang worry about not being able to fill their stomachs! ”
"Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father...", the crown prince Li Chengqian immediately and cleverly greeted.
"Prince, where does Chang'an Hou plant food?" His Majesty Li Er couldn't hold back his excitement and asked eagerly.
"Back to his father, Chang'an Hou planted food in iron buckets and handed it over to his four younger sisters to take care of." Li Chengqian said truthfully.
"It's nonsense, how can such a valuable seed be taught to a few little girls to take care of it casually?" His Majesty Li Er turned his face faster than turning a book. Said angrily.
"My father is angry, and my son has hinted at Chang'an, this species is too precious and should be handed over to the imperial court for strict protection." Li Chengqian said hurriedly.
"Well, you're doing a good job, you should warn him! How does Chang'an Hou answer? His Majesty Li Er said with a little anger.
"Father, Chang'an Hou said, now he is not sure whether he can succeed in planting, if it is successful, he will immediately dedicate it to His Majesty, which has solved the hunger of the people of the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian replied truthfully.
"Even if he knows the general situation, but how can I feel that such a precious seed is not safe to be planted in Chang'an Houfu. What does the prince think? "His Majesty Li Er threw the burden to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
"Father, the son thinks that he is sure that he will be planted successfully in Chang'an Houfu!"
"Oh, keep talking!" His Majesty Li Er looked at the crown prince Li Chengqian and said.
Erchen thought that after all, only Chang'an Hou understood the growth rules and habits of this 800 catties per mu of food. If you rashly hand it over to others to manage, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the ......losses," Li Chengqian replied cautiously.
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true." His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
"I'm so relieved to have such a good son as you!"
"According to the prince's opinion, how should my father deal with this matter?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and asked.
"Erchen thought that his father could send troops to guard the Chang'an Houfu, first, to show the royal majesty, and secondly, to prevent the seeds from being destroyed by Xiaoxiao. After the test is successful, give Chang'an Houfu a big reward! Li Chengqian said his suggestion unhurriedly.
"Yes, just do what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince says." His Majesty Li Er stood up and said.
"Mr. Yang."
"The minions are here."
"Du Ruhui, the secretary of the Ministry of Propaganda, will meet immediately."
"The minions obey."
