Chapter 214: What a big sweet potato

(5th Watch)

Jin Yu didn't say it, but he had already replied in his heart: Of course, it was difficult to answer

"Back to the mother's words, this sweet potato is the disaster preparation year of Weichen's hometown, this thing does not pick the ground, ridges, sandy land can be planted, drought tolerance, the yield is about four times that of wheat, but the taste is not very good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Jin Yu hesitated, but still said the truth, this thing can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime, if he knew in advance that the eldest grandson queen was coming, Jin Yu would not have cut sweet potatoes so early.

"What? Fourfold? Don't pick the ground? Drought? After hearing what Jin Yu said, Empress Changsun was a little shocked and almost jumped up from the stool.

Jin Yu was startled, witnessing the gaffe of the eldest grandson queen, and also felt a little reckless, and said to Ai Ai: "Yes." ”

"The country is very lucky," Empress Eldest Sun muttered to herself, and then Jin Yu, who was looking at her expectantly, said, "I wonder if Gui Tang can hand over some sweet potato seeds to the imperial court?" ”

Being watched so affectionately by a mature (harmonious) woman, Jin Yu is really a little unaccustomed, especially since this woman is still the wife of Li Erzhi, who is like a murderer. Jin Yu stubbornly explained: "Back to Niangniang's words, sweet potatoes are propagated by cuttings, there are no seeds, if you want to keep seeds, you must cut a part of the seedlings now, and then plant them, and you can harvest sweet potatoes for propagation after autumn." ”

"Oh? Can the court cut a part of your seedlings? ”。 After listening to Jin Yu, Empress Eldest Sun was still the same question. She doesn't care how sweet potatoes are reproduced, what she cares about is whether Jin Yu can supply this crop seed to the imperial court, "The imperial court can give proper compensation to Gui Tang." Empress Eldest Sun realized that her words were a little too urgent, and said in a slowed tone.

"Wechen doesn't dare to ask for something in return, after all, it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Wechen is willing to contribute sweet potatoes, but can Wechen ask for one thing?" Jin Yu replied affirmatively.

"As long as this palace can call the shots, I will definitely agree to return to Tang." Empress Changsun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, gold and silver are easy to say, if he is really bold enough to propose to Changle'''''' he really can't be the master

"The queen mother will definitely be able to call the shots" Jin Yu smiled and said: "Wechen just begs not to let Wechen come forward, whoever the court sends to preside over it, and Wechen will not participate in the planting, teaching, promotion, etc. in the later stage."

"Huh?" Empress Eldest Sun frowned slightly, she didn't expect Jin Yu to make such a request, which seemed to be a request for self-preservation, but it implied a lot of helplessness? Or don't want to get ahead? No matter what is implied, this crop is really not fun without Jin Yu, "This '''''' palace really can't be the master." ”

"Queen Mother''" Jin Yu was a little anxious, he really didn't want to drag himself into these messy things, he was entangled in numbness, it was better to live his own little life.

"Okay, this palace can only agree to return to Tang and do its best." Empress Changsun felt a little unable to see through Jin Yu, and she didn't look like she was blackmailing the court with fine crops, she didn't mention any other requirements, she just didn't want to participate, but if you didn't participate, how would others know how to plant?

"Queen Xie" Although the answer given by Empress Changsun was not enough to satisfy him, he had no other way than to thank him.

As for the method of raising pigs and chickens, Queen Changsun didn't mention it, and the promotion of sweet potatoes, although that thing is also of great value, but you can't be too greedy, right? Maybe there are other ways to follow a lot of words?

Empress Changsun had no intention of staying for a long time, and hurriedly returned to the palace, although the trip was not satisfactory, but the harvest was far higher than she expected

"Why did Guanyin come back so early? But Gui Tang's kid doesn't agree? Li Er saw that Empress Changsun was in a hurry to come, and hurriedly beckoned the little eunuch to move a stool.

"The concubine didn't mention it." Empress Changsun sat on the stool, took a cup of tea handed by Li Er, waved her hand, asked all the eunuchs to retreat, and then took a sip and said: "The concubine went this time and found a crop with a yield four times that of wheat and does not pick the ground, just ridges and sandy land, and it is drought tolerant"...,

"Really? Where is it? I'll take a look," Li Eryi listened, and the first reaction of Empress Changsun after hearing it was surprisingly consistent.

Empress Changsun smiled bitterly at Li Er, "On Gui Tang Zhuangzi, this is called sweet potato, which was brought by Gui Tang from his hometown. ”

"That's Gui Tang, that kid is unwilling to sacrifice to the court? Or is he asking too much? Li Eryi looked at Empress Changsun's face and asked with some displeasure.

"Neither." Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "Gui Tang is willing to dedicate it to the imperial court, but he is unwilling to pick this head, and he wants to put this burden on others." ”

"Oh?" Li Er frowned, "He doesn't want this credit?" ”

"Since it is Gui Tang dedicated to the imperial court, this credit is indispensable, the concubine has been pondering on the way back, maybe Gui Tang is unwilling to make others red, right? If many words and such a big credit belong to one person, it is inevitable that others will be blushing. "Empress Eldest Sun was really thinking about this all the way, she did everything she could, but after all, she didn't expect that Jin Yu was just afraid of trouble and tiredness''''''

"Guanyin's words are reasonable." Li Er pondered for a while and said, "Gui Tang, this kid has only been in Chang'an for a year, right?" A lot of words are really scary to count down, if it weren't for someone's eyes, no one would have used those indiscriminate means to spread rumors and make trouble. ”

"Well, the concubine is also afraid that her family will suffer any more grievances when she returns to Tang." Empress Eldest Sun replied.

"Let me think about it." Li Er paced back and forth in the palace, and whenever he encountered something difficult to decide, he was like this. Empress Eldest Sun sat there quietly, leaving plenty of time for her man to think.

"Pick someone from Sinong Temple and follow Guitang to learn first. When you return from school, it will take about half a year, right? A lot of words will be considered when the time comes: the matter of giving Jin Gui Tang an official knighthood. "Since you don't want to attract attention, you have to keep a low profile, and what Li Er thinks about can't be said to be wrong.

"Originally, the concubine shouldn't have asked about this matter, but in this way, will those people think that His Majesty takes this matter seriously?" Empress Eldest Sun thought about it for a while, but still expressed her worries.

"Then according to Guanyin, what should I do?" Li Er was also hesitant in his heart, but when he heard Empress Changsun say this, he hesitated again.

"Do you want to send a prince or princess like a paper-making workshop? Quan Dang followed Gui Tang to learn farming, even if someone said gossip, he had to weigh it. Empress Eldest Sun said tentatively.

"Who's suitable?" Li Er also flashed this thought when he was pacing just now, what he was most relieved about was Changle, now that Changle already has a burden on him, can't he add another pair? There are many words, Li Er is distressed and reluctant.

"Gao Mingcheng? At this time, it is not to buy the hearts of students, and the people are still different and educated. Empress Eldest Sun weighed her words and picked a few that were not taboo and said.

"Gao Ming''''''" Li Er hesitated, and paced in the hall again, he hesitated, at this time he was unconsciously much warmer than before, and now Li Chengqian is still young, far from threatening himself.

"Then let's be smart, let's just say let him experience the hard work of farming, and follow Guitang to hone for a while." Li Er finally stopped and gave the final decision.

"Your Majesty Shengming," Empress Eldest Sun stood up and saluted.

"Alright, I know you're distressed. I may have been too harsh on Gao Ming over the years, after all, he is still a child, and I must have been able to do well with him when he is so old. Li Er helped his wife up and said. He knew that as the prince of the country, there were many things to learn, and the more important thing was to swoop down to learn, so that he could have more experience.

"The concubine is not paving the way for Gao Ming, if he can't satisfy His Majesty, he may save his life if he changes it early." The eldest grandson queen said faintly, she knows her husband and children too well, and now it is good to have her own coordination in the middle, after a few years, she is gone, her husband is old, and the child is older, what will happen? She didn't dare to think about it. …,

"Guanyin is too worried, how can I change the prince? If I say something like this again, I'll be angry," Li Er said with a bluffed face.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the concubine has lost her word." Empress Eldest Sun thanked for the guilt.

"Okay, okay, I have been here with Guanyin for so many years, and it will only get better and better in the future''''''" Li Er said with a clench of his grip on Empress Changsun, his eyes and veins affectionate.

It is said that Li Chengqian was still very happy when he heard the holy decree of his father, not because he was valued, but because he had the opportunity to communicate with Jin Yu in Zhengda Guangming. He has been the crown prince for so many years and has been suppressed for so many years, and only in Jinyu Mansion can he really relax himself. He really wanted Jin Yu to be by his side, why didn't he agree? Now it's just right, but I have fulfilled my wish.

In the end, the person was chosen, one Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, one Cheng of the Shanglin Department, and one of the top names of the Zhengtai - Prince Li Chengqian.

When the group of three came to Jinjiazhuang, Li Chengqian couldn't wait to meet Jinyu, which was completely a student's posture. Jin Yu didn't expect that Li Er would send such a "sweet potato" - the prince, anyway, the prince's level is not low, right? Many words seem to be vigorously promoted in the future.

"Just in time, just boiled a pot of sweet potatoes. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, let's taste it first, and then talk about the question of how to grow sweet potatoes. Jin Yu entertained the guests in a very special way, and before he knew him, he bowed and invited them to the living room.

In later generations, sweet potatoes for a dollar and a pound have become a good thing here, Jin Yu divided it, picked up a piece by himself, and was not polite, he ate it when he peeled off the skin, and the other three people also ate it after learning from Jin Yu's appearance.

"How's it taste?" Jin Woo asked.

"It's delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious." Li Chengqian is suspected of slapping Jin Yu's ass.

"Do you know what sweet potatoes are used for in my hometown?". Jin Yu smiled evilly and asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Hey the pigs, hehe."
