Chapter 20: The Sun and the Moon

Li Shimin's face sank like water with the smell of alcohol, and he shouted in a deep voice: "You guys are really against the sky!" ”

Cheng Chumo and they were all stunned, didn't they just break into the Quartet Pavilion, why did they even recruit the emperor? Originally, they were still arrogant, but now they shrank their necks in fright, just like partridges.

"See His Majesty the Emperor!"

The envoys of various countries reacted the fastest, and they all knelt on the ground cleanly, and Cheng Chumo and they also reacted with a shudder, and knelt on the ground after that.

Why do you kneel down at every turn? Su Cheng muttered in his heart while kneeling down with everyone, this was the first time he had come to Datang to make a big salute.

Li Shimin's gaze swept over everyone and finally fell on Su Cheng's body, although Su Cheng is a great talent, and he is also a talent, the queen and Changle also like it, no matter how you look at it, they are good candidates for horses.

However, no matter how Li Shimin looked at Su Cheng, he felt unpleasant, and his daughter, who had been precious for more than ten years, let this kid blaspheme him if she didn't pay attention!

Is that something that can be solved in forty battles?

Su Cheng felt that the emperor's gaze had been staying on him, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Huh! You're all capable, aren't you? Dare to come to the Sifang Pavilion to mess around! Do you want to be disgraced and thrown into your subjects? Li Shimin scolded mercilessly.

Behind Li Shimin were Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji, and Wei Chigong, looking at Su Cheng and Cheng Chumo with a drunken face, although the people kneeling on the ground were their sons and nephews, they were not in a hurry at all, and even had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

After drinking, he made a big fuss in the Sifang Pavilion, this matter is not big, it is not small, no matter how great the emperor is, it is impossible for these boys to behead and exile or something, at most they will be beaten or locked up for a few days.

Therefore, Cheng Biting Jin and they are not in a hurry at all, the jade is not cut into a weapon, and if they don't open the house for three days, it is better to be locked in prison, and the home is clean and clean.

Li Shimin is actually very clear about Cheng Chumo and these boys, and he also knows that they are good at messing around in groups, often racing horses and fighting or something, but they have never been to the Sifang Pavilion to make trouble.

Why did you suddenly come to the Sifang Pavilion today to beat the envoys? Li Shimin immediately had a guess in his heart, it was probably instigated by Su Cheng, this kid!

This is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and was thinking about what reason to cut this kid, Li Shimin shouted: "Say, who led the head?" ”

Although Su Cheng wanted to put the matter on Cheng Chumo and them, after all, they had thick thighs, but feeling Li Shimin's gaze that had been staying on him, he felt that he had to save himself.

It is no longer possible to count on these partridges who are frightened by the majesty of the change of emperor!

Su Cheng was very humble and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's a grass people!" ”

"Do you know what a sin it is to beat an envoy?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Su Cheng said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty, the grass people are for the sake of my thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty who will no longer starve, and for the eternal stability of Your Majesty's rivers and mountains. ”

Li Shimin was all angry: "To make a big fuss in the Quartet Pavilion and beat the envoys, so that the people will no longer starve?" Is it for the perpetuation of my country? If you can't explain it clearly, see how I clean you up! ”

Li Shimin is a generation of Ming Jun, he should be reasonable, right? But thinking of smoking other girls' belly pockets, Su Cheng was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

If you want not to be beaten, you must pretend to be forced.

Su Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, can the grass people stand up and say?" ”

Ahem, ahem!

Cheng Biting Jin in the back, they couldn't help coughing directly, but they really didn't expect Su Cheng to suddenly come out with such a sentence.

This kid is so daring! At this juncture, you even make such a request!

Li Shimin was also angry: "Okay, then you just stand up and say, if you can't convince me, you kid just wait to be beaten!" ”

Su Cheng stood up and said with a smile: "When Your Majesty listens to the words of the grass people, you must also want to beat the prince of Linyi Kingdom." ”

Li Shimin said: "Oh? Could it be that the prince of Linyi Kingdom did something against the law of the country? ”

Fan Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are wronged, the minister has not done anything that violates the law of the country!" ”

Su Cheng smiled: "Your Majesty, do you know that my Datang rice is ripe once a year?" ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "Nonsense, of course I know!" I'm not a faint king who doesn't distinguish between grains! ”

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty does you know that the rice in Linyi Country is harvested twice a year?" ”

Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin and Fang Xuanling behind them were all stunned, they knew for the first time that the rice in Lin Yiguo was harvested twice a year.

After being stunned, Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Linyi Country is only a small country, even if it is two crops a year, the extra grain is a drop in the bucket for my Datang, and Linyi Country is far away, and the cost of transporting grain is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Su Cheng said with a smile: "This grass people know, Your Majesty, the grass people are not referring to grain, but rice seeds, rice seeds that can be harvested twice a year!" ”

"Rice seeds?" Li Shimin muttered, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he flushed excitedly: "Rice seeds that are harvested twice a year? ”

Li Ji and Fang Xuanling in the back also suddenly understood, yes, why did they want to transport grain from Linyi Kingdom? It should be used as a rice seed, if Datang's rice can also be harvested twice a year, how much grain will be increased every year?

Everyone looked at Su Cheng with enthusiasm, and Su Cheng said with a smile: "The reason why Linyiguo's rice can achieve double cropping is because their rice seeds have a short growth cycle, and their rice seeds have large ears and can also resist drought, and the yield is larger than that of our Datang rice!" ”

Hiss! Everyone couldn't help but gasp, the rice of Linyi Country can not only be harvested twice a year but also drought resistant, and the yield is also large, if Datang also uses Linyi country's rice seeds, how much will Datang's grain output have to increase?

Fang Xuanling asked excitedly: "Are the rice seeds of Lin Yiguo planted in my Datang?" ”

Absolutely! Su Cheng is very sure of this, because ancient China once implemented a large-scale implementation of Champa rice, which was very effective!

So Su Cheng nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" The climate of Lin Yiguo and my southern Tang Dynasty is almost the same, and my master once went to Zhancheng to bring back a little rice seed, and I can also achieve two crops a year in my Datang. ”

The last trace of worry was gone, everyone was flushed with excitement, and Li Shimin was even more excited in his heart.

Since Xuanwumen became the emperor, Li Shimin's greatest desire is to create a prosperous era, what is a prosperous era? The prosperity of the world is the peace and happiness of the people in the four seas, and this is inseparable from money and grain, so he attaches great importance to agriculture and tries to restore production.

Unexpectedly, today he learned that there are rice seeds that are double-cropped in one year, how can this not make him overjoyed? Once this rice seed is implemented on a large scale, it will definitely be a great boost to Datang's national strength.
