After the banquet, the time has reached the middle of February, and it will be a little more time before the north will begin to be busy with farming. Luo Yan also packed his things and prepared to go north www.biquge.info the pen.

Before leaving, he still told Feng Chang to keep a low profile as much as possible on weekdays, and Luo Yan didn't say anything more. When it comes to life, Feng Chang will not be so confused.

By the time I returned to Chang'an, it was already the end of February. After a long journey along the way, Luo Yan arrived at Lu Mansion and fell asleep without saying anything.

This sleep was a whole day, and when Luo Yan woke up in a daze, he found that his stomach was hungry and screaming. Fortunately, it was noon when he woke up, and this lunch was just in time, and after gobbling up the meal, Luo Yan began to report the harvest of this trip to his teacher. When talking about the knowledge gained a lot from discussing with several people at that banquet, Lu Deming also nodded and agreed.

"Yes, if you are alone and have no friends, you are lonely and unheard. You can have this understanding, this time back to Luzhou, it is really a great gain. ”

"Indeed, it seems that I have studied hard for three years, and after that, I will have to go out for a walk more."

After briefly talking to Lu Deming, Luo Yan left. One afternoon, Luo Yan was ready to go to Li Shimin.

What Luo Yan asked for a few years ago, Li Shimin agreed to it. It's going to be used at this time, so naturally you need to see the main side, otherwise Luo Yan doesn't know who to find when everything is delivered.

Goodbye Li Shimin, his person is already a lot haggard. As for the reason, Luo Yan knew that Liu Heimin was completely defeated by the army led by Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng's military exploits were not small. And Li Shimin's own expectations were exhausted in Li Yuan's commendations to Li Jiancheng again and again.

So Li Shimin's pressure is much greater than before.

However, fortunately, this person is also good at employing people. Although he was under a lot of pressure, he could barely pretend to be relaxed in front of Luo Yan. In this way, the atmosphere of Luo Yan and Li Shimin's conversation can be regarded as a lot more relaxed.

Li Shimin knew the purpose of Luo Yan's visit. After Luo Yan sat down, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, "The land of Wannian County has been prepared, and the tenants and guards have also been dispatched. If you don't know what you're going to plant or what seeds you're going to need, just ask. "Li Shimin is pretending to be generous, after all, the big head is sent out, and seeds and the like are all trivial things.

What really made Li Shimin curious was what Luo Yan wanted to plant in the ground. He knew very well that if he planted ordinary rice, wheat, corn, and the like, he didn't need to send out dozens of guards, and he also named his personal guards.

You must know that Li Shimin's personal guards have only been hundreds of people over the years, and they have all been born and died with him. Its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers of the Twelfth Army.

Luo Yan knew Li Shimin's intentions, so he could only satisfy his curiosity in advance: "If you get a thing, its rhizome is edible, it is resistant to drought and flooding, and the yield per mu can reach 1,000 catties." ”

Luo Yan said such a few words, Li Shimin couldn't sit still, stood up and hurriedly walked in front of Luo Yan, grabbed Luo Yan's hand, and was afraid that Luo Yan would run away. "Come in, what you said is true? Can it really tolerate drought and flood, and can it really yield thousands of catties per mu? Li Shimin asked, and finally he was a little angry.

Nodding, Luo Yan said: "It's true, and the region is not divided into north and south, it can be planted." At this moment, Li Shimin was even more surprised, and the hand holding Luo Yan was squeezed tighter.

"However, if you want to grow this kind of thing all over the country, it will take three or five years to cultivate it. I want that land, and that's what I want for it. Luo Yan said slowly.

"Didn't you say that you would get a thousand catties per mu? Why do you need three or five more years? Is it that there is not enough land, if it is not enough, I can get it again, how many varieties there are. Li Shimin's reaction at this time was already a little crazy, and he couldn't wait to plant what Luo Yan said immediately, so as to add the most important bargaining chip to his game.

"It's not that there isn't enough land, it's that there's not enough seeds. I found this thing three years ago, when there were fifteen rhizomes on one plant that were edible. I kept one for seeding. The second year is about the same number. I didn't move, and when the spring of the third year began, I found that a large part of it had broken down in the soil. The third year is about the same amount, but I already know how to cultivate it. From Luzhou to Chang'an, there are only ten seeds that are now well preserved. Luo Yan happened to look at his reputation value before he came, but he didn't expect it to have risen by 10 million.

Resisting the desire to exchange for various abilities, Luo Yan kept all the prestige points and exchanged them for potatoes, and then, the result was ten. No more.

Hearing that the gap between the actual number and his own hopes was too big, Li Shimin let go of his grip on Luo Yan. With a sigh, he returned to his seat.

"Your Highness rest assured, although there are ten seeds, but the plants that can be planted are more than ten times that of this book, if the operation is better, I am afraid that the time can be advanced by a year or two. It's just that by next year, I'm afraid that not only will the land increase, but also the guards will be multiplied. The later people know about this matter, the better. Moreover, I have already thought of a solution, maybe in the beginning, it is not necessary to plant two crops a year. When the scale is larger, I will move to Yongzhou, and it will be easier to deal with things at that time. ”

Li Shimin still held the official title of governor of Yongzhou at this time, and Gao Shilian, the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji, was also appointed as the governor of Yongzhou. Basically, Yongzhou is Li Shimin's rear, which is relatively safe.

Although this gave Li Shimin a lot of comfort, the sadness on his face did not decrease.

For Li Shimin at this time, Luo Yan was very sympathetic. Hope disappointed again and again, even he had to stick a knife in him, Li Shimin was not annoyed and angry, it was already quite good.

"Actually, Your Highness should not be too disappointed. As I said before, the current situation cannot be worse, and all Your Highness needs to do is to continue to keep your head in obscurity. When this thing is planted, presumably His Highness will also be grateful for the chips. Until then, everything is about retaining the useful. ”

"There is another thing, which was only discovered when I came first to have nothing to do and satisfied my appetite. It's also something to prepare for the future, which I call chili. The taste is spicy, more than dogwood. It must be a treasure of major restaurants. After Luo Yan finished saying another thing, seeing that Li Shimin was still a little lost, Luo Yan could only start to comfort Li Shimin.

"I have been reading "Zhou Yi" carefully on the road these days, but I don't understand a sentence, and I hope His Royal Highness can solve my doubts." Luo Yan shifted the topic to learning.

Although Li Shimin is not as diligent as Luo Yan, one of the functions of the Literature Museum after its establishment is to talk about scriptures and righteousness with these scholars, so Li Shimin's knowledge cannot be underestimated.

Seeing that Luo Yan wanted to change the topic, Li Shimin couldn't help but follow: "Oh." Let's talk about it. ”

"A gentleman takes virtue as his line, and he can see it every day. Those who are hidden as words, hidden but not seen, and deeds are not successful, and they are also used by gentlemen. Luo Yan read this sentence loudly.

This sentence comes from the "Zhou Yi" hexagram, which is a sentence that is not used by the hidden dragon in the ninth year of the first month. When Luo Yan said this, he meant to tell Li Shimin that when everything is not yet clear, you only need to quietly cultivate your virtues, and don't rush to do other things.

This is not fooling Li Shimin, anyway, Li Shimin is basically an idler now. If you want to talk about war, he has nothing to do. The group of people under the prince tasted the benefits of fighting in Shandong this time, with military merits, talent snaring, and there were many people in the court, they were not afraid of Li Shimin's moths at all, so they all wanted to let Li Jiancheng go out a few more times to earn more benefits.

Although he understands what Luo Yan means, Li Shimin's current mood is that Luo Yan can say it with one sentence. The scholars of the Literature Museum have done a lot of similar things, but it is useless.

Seeing that Li Shimin was still meaninglessly worried, Luo Yan had no choice but to let Li Shimin suffer by himself. Anyway, Luo Yan did everything he should have done.

Li Shimin arranged for Luo Yan to hand over the affairs of the farm to the housekeeper of the Qin Palace, this middle-aged man over forty years old followed Li Shimin, and it can be said that he was Li Shimin's confidant.

According to this person's statement, Wannian County is not far anyway, and after the past, he stayed for one night, and he was full of spirits and handed over everything to Luo Yan the next day. Of course, the handover mentioned here is not to throw everything to Luo Yan, in fact, taking Luo Yan over is purely to let the people below recognize Luo Yan, and then hand over other things to the prepared steward.

Although Li Shimin didn't know what Luo Yan was going to do at that time, he still gave Luo Yan a lot of trust. The farm I found is close to this river, and the soil quality is also good, and it is definitely a good field for growing rice. But Luo Yan has nothing to pity, the few potatoes in his hands can't even grow a penny. Just like what he and Li Shimin said, planting rice on the periphery is purely to confuse people.

Looking at the tenants Li Shimin found, he said that he was a tenant, but in fact, according to Luo Yan's requirements, all the guards of the King of Qin were slightly injured. At this time, the identity was changed to tenants, but because of the cold weather, they have not built a residence for the time being, and these people have not yet brought their families over. And these dozens of people are crowded into a compound on the farm.

There are also about 20 guards, who have changed out of the Mingguang armor when they were guards, and changed into coarse cloth clothes. It is no longer a sword or a spear in his hand, but a club that drives away people. But the majestic aura of the marching army is still there, no, I saw idle people wandering around along the way, and I didn't see any of them near this manor.

Seeing all this, Luo Yan felt very satisfied.
