In the Jinghu area of later generations, every month of wax moon, the people will definitely make a few kinds of food at home, one is to boil maltose to make hemp leaves, the other is to make noodles and fried dumplings, this kind of dumplings, not the boiled dumplings eaten in the north, steamed dumplings, is to add salt, or sugar, or chopped garlic seedlings to the noodles, after rolling into the dough, cut into small slices, cut a hole from the middle, turn one end of the dough through the middle of the mouth, and then put it in the oil pan to fry the crispy dumplings.

Usually when everyone deepens this kind of dumplings, they will also fry another kind of food, the local vernacular transliteration is called 'jade wax chips', which is later commonly known as potato chips, fried with sweet potatoes, fried with potatoes, and the method is the same.

It is to peel the boiled sweet potatoes or potatoes, on a door panel covered with a steaming cloth, use a rolling pin or the back of a knife, press and smooth it, dry it, cut it into small pieces, and fry it in the oil pan to be fragrant and crispy, and after it cools, like turning dumplings, put it into the popcorn popped out with rice, which can ensure that it is crispy and does not change, as long as the mouth of the bag is tied, it is no problem to eat until the summer of the second year.

When Sun Xiangfu was a child, every household would make this thing, and during the winter vacation, he would go to each house to help turn dumplings and fry jade wax slices, in fact, he just wanted to eat a fresh one, until he was in college, after the supermarket began to go to the countryside, the local homemade eating activities gradually decreased, or even disappeared.

Therefore, making sweet potatoes and potatoes into food, it is difficult for Sun Xiangfu to make sweet potato flour, in fact, there is not much difference with the process of making rice noodles in Shannan Road, which is nothing more than cleaning, crushing, filtration, exposure, battering, and leakage, all of which can be done through some wooden tools during this period.

Within a few days, after the harvesting of sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes and other crops in hundreds of acres of trial farming, a part of the seeds with better quality was left, and most of the remaining ones were loaded into ships.

After that, the entire Lingnan team set off, plus more than 2,000 athletes who went to Gangneung to participate in the sports conference, as well as more than 3,000 people who were trained by Ah Yue to go to Gangneung City to perform singing and dancing, and members of the art troupe, the entire fleet had more than 300 big ships, which was very huge.

At this time, the representative team of the Western Regions countries had just arrived in Shannan Province, and Li Chengqian had consumed enough for them, but they basically did not complain, since entering the territory of Datang, the nearly eight-month trip did not bore them at all, because, the more they watched, the more they learned, the Tang Dynasty's planning of the city, the management of the people, for them, there was learning everywhere, especially when they saw those embankments covered with green turf.

"Oh my God, you Datang, do you all rely on such a high slope to prevent flooding?"

The fleet has been walking on the river for more than an hour, and the scenery that can be seen on both sides of the river has always been these green embankments with the same height and slope, and even if Heraclius and others did not believe it, they also guessed that these embankments were all built artificially.

They never thought that this eastern empire would dig such a long river because of transportation needs, and they couldn't imagine the amount of work involved.

And now, when they saw these embankments, they were even more confused, and in terms of the amount of work, it even far exceeded the Grand Canal, which was a masterpiece that took millions of laborers several years to make.

Looking at the shock that these dirt buns broke out after they slowed down and didn't know how many beats, Li Chengqian was a little proud, and he also listened to the words that the translators explained to them, the explanation was too vague, Li Chengqian felt that it didn't work, at present, Datang needs to show everyone that he is strong, so that in the future battle of reunification, there will be more people who will fall in the wind.

So, he opened his mouth and said, "These embankments, in addition to preventing floods, diverting river water, making water conservancy irrigation more stable, and waterway transportation more developed, are also roads connecting counties, through the overall design and planning, after forming a network, can make the overall agricultural efficiency of the entire Shannan Daohu District improve a lot, is the most important infrastructure here, it is precisely because of its existence, it has created the world's first rice yield here." ”

The word 'infrastructure' has appeared in the ears of Heraclius more than once, the cement roads of Datang are said to be infrastructure construction, the canal is also said to be infrastructure construction, and these embankments in front of them are also said to be infrastructure construction, it seems that the reason why Datang is developing so rapidly is because they pay attention to infrastructure construction.

Moreover, in their opinion, this embankment has more than such advantages, and every few tens of meters there will be a ploughing ox on the embankment slope, which feeds on the grass on this embankment.

As for what Li Chengqian said about being the first in the world, most of them already have some basic knowledge of the Chinese language, and they also understand it, and no one will doubt the authenticity of this title, they just want to see, see, what the so-called world's most productive rice field looks like.

So, Heracle said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take us to see the first field in the world?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, "Why not." ”

After saying that, he turned his head to the chamberlain and asked, "Where is the boundary ahead?" ”

The chamberlain returned to the house and said, "Back to Your Highness, it's Jinan County, Yingzhou." ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be under the rule of my Wu Wangdi, so when you get to the dock, let's board the boat and dock! It doesn't hurt to let them see. ”

Yingzhou is the new Xiongzhou of the Tang Dynasty, the county seat of Jinan, is its place of governance, and this is a new city built when the fields are built, although the scale is not as good as the city of Dingxiang Shanyang, but than those state cities along the canal, it is still much higher-grade.

Soon after Li Chengqian made this decision, the fleet arrived at the dock in Jinan County.

"It's a pity that the teacher is not in Jiuyuan County, otherwise, Lone would have to go to see him." Earlier, he knew that Jinan County was adjacent to Jiuyuan County, and after passing Jinan County, he arrived at Jiuyuan County, and officially entered Jingzhou's rule.

"Young Master Sun is only afraid that he has already set off from Lingnan, and in a few days, we will meet in Jiangling City." Ma Zhou is considered to be the highest grade among all Li Chengqian's entourage, and while answering the phone beside him, he signaled with his eyes that he could not take these people to Jiuyuan County to visit, especially Jiuyuan County, what was taught there should not be passed on to the outside world before the unification of the Tang Dynasty was realized.

Li Chengqian understood what he meant, in fact, he let these people go ashore, but he was just strolling around at will, and he had no intention of entering the city, after all, he knew that it was not only Jiuyuan County that had completely reformed the educational content, but also several Yuantian counties in Shannan Province had also reformed the teaching content, but he had never gone south, and he had not seen what Yuantian was like, so he was just a little curious.

Unexpectedly, he had just taken people off the boat and climbed up the embankment across the dock, and Li Ke's car had already greeted him.

"The younger brother has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Ke now has an official position, and when he sees Li Chengqian, who is the prince, he is a courtier.

Li Chengqian and Li Ke, who have not seen each other for more than four years, were still a little stunned when they saw each other in the first year, fortunately both of them had ceremonial clothes on their bodies, otherwise, at first glance, they may not be able to recognize each other, after all, in the past four years, it is their development period, height, appearance, and voice, there have been great changes.

"Brother Wu doesn't need to be polite, Lone is just a temporary idea, leading all the representatives of Fanbang to visit the fields under your rule, I don't want to alarm you, it just so happens that Lone hasn't seen you for a few years, we can watch and chat." Li Chengqian was very affectionate and helped Li Ke, who bowed slightly, up and said.

Feeling the friendship passed on by Li Chengqian, Li Ke's whole person relaxed a little, just now, when Li Chengqian said 'visiting the fields', he deliberately used a little strength in his hands, and suddenly made him understand what Li Chengqian meant, only take these people to see the fields.

"You are here at the right time, this year's rice is just entering the autumn yellow period, and it is about to be harvested, so you can come with me to have a look."

It depends on the field, it is simple, within the embankment, all of it, and there is no need to prepare it.

At this time, the heads of state who climbed the embankment have already seen the boundless rice fields inside, and the fields here are as neat as a knife cut, and when the wind blows, the rice ears will rise and fall slightly like waves, which is very spectacular.

"This, this is a rice field······?"

"Why is it so dense?" ······"

"This ear of rice is so long, so full······"

For a while, there was no need for Li Ke to take them down, so they expressed their exclamations in various languages, and rushed down the embankment, wanting to get closer and see clearly.

"This is just a rice field planted by ordinary people under the rule of Jinan County, and it cannot be compared with the experimental field of Jiuyuan County, everyone, you can follow me to the rice field to take a closer look." When their attention was on the boundless rice field, Li Ke whispered a few words to Li Chengqian, and after understanding his intentions, he nodded and said hello to everyone.

So, under the leadership of Li Ke, the large team walked towards the cement road under the embankment.

The density of the rice ears in the rice fields is so heavy and plump that they can be felt more in the near distance, and letting these people see the amazing grain output of Datang with their own eyes is also a means to promote national strength.

Therefore, Li Ke's words instantly made Abu Bakr, who already had a high level of Chinese, hear the clue and asked, "This is not the most productive rice field in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li Ke nodded and replied, "Of course, the yield of these rice fields planted by ordinary people is only about ten stones at most, and the best experimental field in Jiuyuan County may reach eleven five stones per mu this year." ”

"Ten stones, eleven stones and five ······" After listening to these two numbers, Abu Bakr quickly converted them into the counting weights of their big cannibals, and when he was done, he looked at the rice paddies with a shocked expression.

One stone in the Tang Dynasty, strictly speaking, was fifty-nine kilograms and 118 kilograms, but usually when people counted, they would directly round it up and count it as 120 kilograms, ten stones, which is 1,200 kilograms, and eleven stones and five kilograms, which is 1,380 kilograms.

"Oh my God, why does God favor you Tang people so much······"

is also calculating, but not only Abu Bakr alone, but also Yi Siqi, who is more proficient in Han culture than him, no wonder the Tang Dynasty has been able to sell grain to them in Persia for tens of millions of stones, tens of millions of stones, with such a high-yield rice field in hand, it is easy to take out so much grain.

"No wonder you put so much effort into building this embankment, oh my God, we only need to open up one million acres of rice fields like yours in the country, and we can grow 10 million stone of grain every year, and we will never have to worry about food again." Po Ni also screamed after Isi.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with the shock they showed, and took over the words, "That, you may have misunderstood, such a field can grow two seasons of high-yield rice in one year, that is to say, one million mu of land can produce 20 million stone rice in a year, and I, Datang, now have eleven counties, nearly 20 million mu of such high-yield rice fields, these eleven counties alone, one year, can produce 400 million stone rice." ”

"400 million stone ······"

Everyone heard this number, most of them were a little dizzy, and at the same time, they were for the Tang Dynasty to feed cattle and horses with millet sorghum soybeans and other people that can be used as staple food, pave the roads with cement, decorate the palace with the finest transparent glass, and equip the army with full-width stainless iron steel knives, etc., etc., everything has been explained, and people are so rich that they can't eat enough food, and there is so much money that they have nowhere to spend.
