“…… Your Majesty, this true rice seed is early-growing, early-maturing, drought-tolerant, and fine-grained, and is suitable for high fields. The most rare thing is that the growth cycle is very short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting, and the yield is higher than that of Datang rice seeds. Datang rice seeds, the yield per mu is only 200 catties. And this real wax rice seed, the yield per mu is 300 to 400 catties, and two crops a year, conservatively estimated, the yield per mu is also more than three times that of Datang rice seed......"

Li Mu seemed to have returned to the state when he was selling the plan with Party A's father in his previous life, full of passion, Li Shimin sat behind the table, looked at him in a daze, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Li Mu, you ...... Isn't it a little ...... lately" He raised his finger and pointed his finger, not explicitly, but the meaning was very clear: Are you sick in the brain?

Li Mu said angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister is now very serious about telling you a big thing related to people's livelihood and society!" Why don't you pay attention to it at all, you look like this, it's just ...... It's not as good as Mingjun! ”

"Yo, I don't look like Mingjun has come out." Li Shimin smiled speechlessly: "Li Mu, this is not a matter of Ming Jun and Ming Jun. It's these things that you said...... Alas! Well, if there's nothing to do, I'll tell you about it. ”

Li Shimin asked Gonggong Gao to bring a chair, Li Mu sat down, and Li Shimin said: "The matter of people's livelihood, the monarchs of all dynasties, there is nothing that they don't care about. If the people cannot be fed, the society will be unstable. Unless it's the king of the dead country, how can he not care? ”

"But it doesn't matter, it's not like you. Let's not talk about this rice planting, let's just talk about the 'potato' you talked about two days ago, which is claimed to have a yield of 3,000 catties per mu. Li Mu, do you think this is possible? The corn grown in the best land is no more than two stones, and less than two hundred and fifty pounds. This is already the highest yield on record, and it has to be a good year. If you open your mouth and say 3,000 catties, who can believe this? Even if it's an immortal grass immortal seed, it's impossible! ”

Li Muxin was extremely tired, he really wanted to yell at him, Lao Tzu didn't brag, potatoes can indeed yield 3,000 catties per mu! In his previous life, when he took the light rail, he listened to the news broadcast on the light rail, and the new variety of potatoes in a certain experimental field in Northeast China had a record high yield of 10,600 catties per mu. Although this is a variety cultivated under specific conditions, his potatoes are still a system creation, even if they are not so powerful, can't they be guaranteed? Three thousand pounds is no problem!

There is also this rice, when he was studying in his previous life, it was written in the textbook "Geography" that the yield of rice per mu was about 400 kilograms. This is already the data of 20 years ago, and it is common for rice varieties to be continuously improved in recent years, and it is common for high-quality paddy fields in the south to yield 500 kilograms per mu. The impression in his head was still at this level, so he asked Yu Bulang about the yield of Datang rice in the morning, and when he learned that the yield per mu was only 200 catties, he was really surprised.

It can be seen from this how much contribution Professor Yuan Longping has made. Thinking of those crossings seen in the previous life, what is the use of wearing this and that, if Yuan Lao had crossed over, China would have been on top of the world long ago.

Although Li Mu didn't have Yuan Lao's skills, his mood was the same. Since the yield of rice seeds in Datang is low, isn't it a good thing to introduce real rice seeds? On top of that, although the yield of potatoes is high, he is not used to eating potatoes. The most direct advantage of introducing rice seeds is that it can solve his own food problem.

But he never expected that Li Shimin would not believe it at all. This is really tiring, do you want him to show the identity of the traverser and tell Li Shimin, Your Majesty, the minister is from a thousand years later, the world has long been without you, you can just listen to what I say, ask so many farts!

When Li Mu slandered, Li Shimin continued to preach: "...... Besides, this prince of Zhenla, Li Mu, you are still too naïve. Do you think what he said is true? He's just asking you to be interested in the seed and doing what you like. Spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom and fall. Everything is in season, how can there be two crops a year? Isn't that against the clock? I don't believe it anyway. ”

Li Shimin persuaded bitterly: "You, you have been yelling about a lot of things and being tired. It's better to put your heart away and take care of your own affairs, this matter of grain and people's livelihood has its own worries about the princes of the DPRK and China......"

"My Majesty!" Li Mu said angrily: "Why don't you believe the minister's words, what the minister said is true!" The minister is in a hurry! ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, this is the words in your "Shi Shuo", right? Now that you understand this truth, how to do things are confused? I am the emperor, employing people is naturally to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, you have done a very good job in the Ministry of Industry, I am a hundred assured of you, ten thousand trust, have you ever had a trace of constraints? But this diplomatic and agricultural affairs, I think you should not worry about it, okay? ”

Seeing that Li Mu sighed speechlessly, Li Shimin said again: "The affairs of Zhenla Kingdom, we Datang can't take care of it." There are two reasons, the place where this Zhenla is located is thousands of miles away from Datang, not to mention Zhenla, it is Qiongzhou and other places in Datang, which is also a barren land, there are few people, and there is a miasma. Who goes to that kind of place except for the distribution of criminals? Besides, Datang is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, such as Zhenla, Funan, Linyi and other small countries, Datang should treat it the same, if you help a country and attack a country, you are nameless, and you are criticized, why don't you understand? ”

"Hey, hey......" Li Mu was so anxious that his mouth was about to foam, and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what to be a teacher and no name, and he doesn't care about what is criticized." There is only one principle for ministers to do things, and that is the supremacy of Datang's interests. As long as it is beneficial to Datang, the minister will do whatever it should or shouldn't be. Your Majesty, what you said about rice seeds is false, but why didn't you think about it, what if it was true? ”

"One crop of rice a year, the yield per mu is 200 catties. Two crops of rice a year, with a yield of 700 catties per mu. How many more people have to be fed! People are fed, and Shinong, industry and commerce, and all walks of life are standing here. I think even if it may be fake, it's worth giving it a try! ”

"Why is your kid so strong-tempered!" didn't listen to what he said, Li Shimin was also a little annoyed, and said: "Okay, just like you said, it's okay to give it a try." Then you tell me, the rice seeds are brought, where are they planted? Although I don't know about farming, I do know that if you want to have a good harvest, you need to pay attention to the wind and rain. There is no winter in Zhenla country, the four seasons are like spring, they can harvest twice a year, can we Datang? ”

"Yes!" Li Mu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, in the barren land you said, the climate over there is no different from that of Zhenla Country, they can harvest twice a year, and we can harvest twice a year!" It's really not good, let's occupy Zhenla and Funan, and specialize in farming for Datang, what's not okay? ”

"You!" Li Shimin was angry and said; "Righteousness...... Well, I don't understand this to you! ”

Li Shimin snorted and sulked, he didn't speak for a long time, Li Mu didn't make a sound, and the two stared at each other.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally thought of another reason and said: "Li Mu, let's be calm, don't mention what you just did, it's all right for you, and I think you're right." Have you ever thought that even if you occupy Funan and Zhenla, let them farm for Datang. After planting, let's ship it back? ”

"Zhenla to the Tang Dynasty, thousands of miles away, jungles all over, mountains and dense forests, miasma, have you ever heard of 'a hundred miles do not sell wood, thousands of miles do not sell wood'? The wear and tear of the road is more expensive than the rice you transported, and you are so good at doing business that you can't even figure this out? ”

"Of course the minister thought of this!" Li Mu said confidently: "Your Majesty, we can build ships, build big ships, along the coast, transport rice to the Yangtze River, and then go upstream——"

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu like a fool: "What did you say?" Shipbuilding, shipping? In、Transporting rice from the sea? How big is that? Can you make it? ”

"Made!" Li Mu is like a bar, cutting the railway. He flipped through the drawings of the system last night, and the largest ship drawing in the system was called [Treasure Boat], and it was noted in the introduction that the treasure ship was Zheng He's 'treasure ship' that went to the West, with a length of 44 zhang and a width of 18 zhang. However, this is a master-level drawing, and it will not be possible to make it in a short time. But a smaller one, or a smaller two-size-three-sized ship, can be built. ”

Even if only the intermediate carpentry can be built "400 materials" eight-oared boats, coastal rice transportation is not a problem. Li Mu's current carpentry skills have reached the state of intermediate and almost full, and if he works hard to reach the high level, he will be able to use the [Secret Legend] to make the cheats of the intermediate [Eight Boats], and when the time comes, a group of shipbuilders will be copied in batches, and it will not take a few years to form a scale.

But he couldn't explain these words to Li Shimin. Therefore, in Li Shimin's view, Li Mu is now talking about a dream.

He didn't bother to talk to Li Mumo, and said, "In short, I won't listen to you about Zhenla." It is impossible for me to send troops, nor can I interfere, I don't believe what rice seeds you say, now that the treasury is empty, the north is unstable, and I have to guard against the Western Turks and Goguryeo Tubo and Tuyuhun and the like, how can I have the heart to take care of things thousands of miles away, don't mention this matter again, I am not allowed! ”

When Li Mu heard this, his stubborn temper also came up, and said, "Your Majesty is not allowed, and the ministers must do it!" Rice seeds must be introduced into the Tang Dynasty, rice must also be planted, and potatoes must also be planted. I have bought 10,000 acres of land near Dingxiang, I will plant potatoes, I will plant 10,000 acres of potatoes! ”

"Stinky boy is muddy again!" Li Shimin saw Li Mu's stubborn eyes and knew that he had made up his mind. This kind of look was too familiar to him, and he said angrily: "Whatever you do, I don't care about you." But the money of the Internal Affairs Office is not allowed to be moved, and it is impossible for the scholars of the Tang Dynasty to mess around with you, and you don't even think about a soldier! ”

"If you don't help, you won't help! I'll do it myself! ”

Li Mu turned around and left, Li Shimin didn't stop him, he was already angry enough.

When he arrived at the door, Li Mu stopped and turned around and said, "Your Majesty doesn't believe me today, if he has food in the future, don't think about taking it for nothing!" ”

"I am rich in the world, not to mention tens of millions of acres of fertile land, I don't need you!"

"You don't need to pull it down, and I won't give it!"

"Get out!" Li Shimin was so angry that he grabbed the sword on the shelf and smashed it at Li Mu at the door: "Get out of the way for me, come here, and beat the deer and Hou out of the palace gate!" Get out of here! ”
