Han E was extremely distressed, these corns were not yet ripe, how could they be delicious if they were not ripe when cooked. However, the emperor did not dare not agree to such orders.

In fact, although Han E has a lot of research on agricultural technology, how did he know that corn is the best when boiled at this time. If you wait until it is ripe and then cook it, it will already be old.

Li Ji is most concerned about sweet potatoes, which are epoch-making crops. Fortunately, sweet potatoes belong to the things that grow when they see the soil, the key is that the management of sweet potatoes is rough, and if they grow well, they don't even need to weed.

The author himself has planted dozens of sweet potatoes without fertilization or medicine, and besides, lazy people like me disdain to take care of them. Strangely enough, there was no grass growing and the harvest was abundant.

Originally, this plant was overwhelming when it grew, and there was no room for wild grass to grow. And as long as the land is fertile, it will grow like crazy.

The peanuts had already fallen fruit, and Li Ji asked Youwei to take a hoe and cut a few plants, and then ordered them to go down and wash them.

"Brother Zhu, you taste it, how does it taste?" Li Ji looked at the washed peanuts and showed them to Zhu Youneng.

Zhu Youneng had never tasted peanuts, but the peanuts that had just fallen had a fragrance of their own, and he grabbed one and opened his mouth to bite it.

"You are lacking, peeling, do you understand how to peel the skin." Li Ji peeled one off and threw it into his mouth.

The fragrance of peanuts came to his nose, and he hadn't tasted this delicacy for a long, long time, and Li Ji couldn't help but close his eyes with satisfaction.

Zhu Youneng was anxious, so he peeled off one of the gourds and tasted it: "Well, it's delicious, what's the name of this fruit?"

Han E held a pen and paper on the side and recorded in detail: "This is called peanuts,"

The peppers are already red and ready to be picked, and Li Ji picked some casually.

"Brother Zhu, you try this, it tastes absolutely delicious."

Zhu Youneng immediately believed it, but he didn't want to eat it. If he remembers correctly, this thing seems to be called a bastard Zhu Lao La.

Seeing that Zhu Youneng was still hesitating, Li Ji hurriedly urged: "Do you want to experience the feeling of burning your body in flames and wanting to die?"

Zhu Youneng was very interested when he heard it: "Is this thing really so amazing?"

"Try it, make sure it's worth it."

One has bad intentions, the other is convinced.

Zhu Youneng tasted it, and he took a bite of the bastard Zhu Lao Spicy.

After eating, Zhu Youneng jumped to his feet: "Spicy!" Hot! Hot! Water, give me water, water! ”

"Hahaha......" Li Ji, who was a bad friend, succeeded in his treacherous plan: "I told you that I burned myself after eating, but you didn't listen."

"You, your uncle!" Although he was the emperor, Zhu Youneng couldn't help but scold today.

The faces of others changed greatly, but Li Ji didn't care. If you dare to scold the saints today, I am afraid that Zhu Youneng is the only one in the world.

At this point, the loser is smart, if he is an official or a general, he can only be cautious and cautious. In this way, the relationship between him and Li Ji will not be so close, and it can only be the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Zhu Youneng refused to be titled or an official. There would be no threat to Li Ji, and without the threat, he could be friends with the emperor.

Why are emperors all alone, because power dooms them to no friends. And everyone longs to have a good friend, and Li Ji is no exception.

Of course, people such as Zhu Wen, Zhu Quanyu and others have also persuaded him. Li Ji is the emperor, and he must not forget the difference between the monarch and the minister.

Zhu Youneng also agreed, and he thought so in his heart. But once he was with this little faint gentleman, Zhu Youneng immediately forgot what his surname was. Under the same smell, Zhu Youneng still has this emperor in his eyes, and he has more like-minded friends.

Zhu Youneng didn't realize it, and Li Ji didn't care, so the two could become friends.

It was only at this time that Li Ji felt that he was not a high-ranking emperor. can be equal to Zhu Youneng's brothers, Li Ji also likes this feeling, and he also hopes that the two can continue to maintain this relationship.

And Youwei and Zhu Youneng's doglegs were all frightened, although the relationship between the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers was not as strict as in later generations. But if you dare to openly insult the emperor, it is also a serious crime of the Nine Clans, and it will be difficult for the gods to save you.

Even if Li Maozhen humiliated Zhaozong in every possible way, he didn't dare to openly scold your uncle.

Zhu Youneng's eyes were spicy, and he stuck out his tongue like a dog: "This, this ghost thing is so spicy, how to eat it."

Li Ji laughed: "I told you, this thing is called bastard Zhu Lao La, now you believe it."

Zhu Youneng believed it, and he was convinced. He was very sure that he must have been sure that when Zhu Lao Er got this plant back from overseas and gave it to his neighbors to taste, the neighbors must have scolded Zhu Lao Er.

Because Zhu Youneng wanted to scold himself at the moment: Bastard, it's too fucking spicy.

For first-time pepper tasters, this spiciness is tantamount to poison. Zhu Youneng's spicy face was red and his ears were red, and Wangcai brought over a big bowl of water, and he drank it non-stop.

"Brother Zhu, after all these crops are harvested, we will make a fortune." Li Ji comforted him.

"Fa, it's a fortune, this Zhu Lao Lao can be taken to the battlefield to make poison." Zhu Youneng was still sticking out his tongue, and the dog next to him looked at the owner puzzled, and also stuck out his tongue.

Li Ji's heart moved, and Zhu Youneng's casual words made him think of a good idea, why can't chili peppers be used as weapons?

On the battlefield, if it's a tailwind. Smoke this chili pepper on fire, this is especially a living tear gas.

Of course, this chili pepper is definitely not as good as tear gas, but who in the ancients smelled this pungent and choking smell. When the time comes, he shouted before the battle: This is the poisonous bastard Zhu Lao Spicy, and those who hear it will die.

Although the enemy will be suspicious, their psychological defenses will inevitably collapse in fear. At that time, the morale of our army will be greatly boosted, and it will not be a complete victory?

In addition, if the chili flour is mixed with gunpowder. Once this thing explodes, it's absolutely sour, comparable to a biological weapon.

"That's right, Brother Zhu, in addition to being used as a condiment, this thing can really be used for war." Li Ji already had a plan in mind, these pepper varieties are called 'Chaotian Roar', which is one of the spiciest varieties.

When these peppers are ripe, they are left to cultivate the seeds. All of them are ground into chili noodles, and when they return to the palace, they are mixed in a gunpowder jar to test its power.

After countless experiments, the power of this gunpowder is still a little unsatisfactory. When it really encounters the battlefield, the deterrent power is far greater than its power.

However, the ancients were very superstitious, and the deterrent power alone was enough to change the pattern of the battlefield. If the gunpowder is added with chili noodles, it is even more powerful.

"Han E, these old Zhu spicy ones are all dried after they are cooked, and they must not rot in the rain. After drying, you leave the seeds and stone grind all the peppers into powder. Li Ji instructed Han Edao.

Han E was like a local official who received him, holding a small notebook and writing it down respectfully: "Minister, lead the order."
