Regarding Du Ruhui's physical condition, Li Xiu still suggested that Li Shimin find a doctor to check the other party, after all, Du Ruhui died this year in history, and he was only forty-five years old when he died, for an official, forty-five is simply their golden age, and with Du Ruhui's current status, it is a pity to die so early.

Li Shimin also attached great importance to Li Xiu's suggestion, he was worried that the imperial doctor in the palace would not be able to do it, so he immediately ordered someone to invite Sun Simiao into the palace, and then personally took the other party to check Du Ruhui.

Li Xiu did not follow to join in the fun, but returned home and wrote a letter to Zhao Deyan, this time the Turks rebelled on the road, Zhao Deyan must bear the main responsibility, but this is not too serious, the imperial court will not punish him too severely, in addition to Li Xiu's suggestions for escorting the Turks, these will definitely be officially sent to him by the imperial court, but it does not prevent Li Xiu from giving him a breeze in advance, so that he can be prepared, so as not to make the same mistake again.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu had breakfast and played with his daughter Le'an for a while, and then went out of the house to the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture, after all, he is still in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, although he is not in charge of things, but he usually has to come around, at least make a appearance, so as not to be impeached by some idle officials.

However, what Li Xiu didn't expect was that he didn't see Yang Dui in the Ministry of Agriculture, not even Shangguanyi, which made him a little strange, and pulled a small official to ask, only to know that Yang Dui went to the official fields by the Yellow Canal early this morning, and these official fields were specially set aside by Li Shimin for the Ministry of Agriculture, which is equivalent to the experimental fields of later generations.

Guantian is not far from the Ministry of Agriculture, so Li Xiu stepped to Guantian's side, but when he came here, he saw Yang Dui with more than a dozen officials working in Guantian, and on the land under their feet, the green seedlings were growing vigorously, and Li Xiu also recognized these seedlings as the potatoes brought by the bearded guest from the Americas.

Potatoes are a crop with a yield not lower than that of sweet potatoes, but the bearded guest did not find them when he first went to the Americas, and it was not until he returned from the Americas for the second time that he brought potatoes back, and the quantity was not much, Li Xiu planted them in his own garden, but because of his lack of planting experience, these potatoes did not survive much, and the yield in the first year was even less pitiful.

Faced with this situation, Li Xiu had no choice but to hand over the potatoes to these professionals from the Ministry of Agriculture to plant, which made Yang Dui and them very excited, corn and sweet potatoes were only promoted in a few areas of Datang, which had already increased Datang's grain production several times, and now there was another potato, I am afraid that Datang's grain will really be too much to eat in the future.

"Yang Dui, have you cultivated so many potato seedlings?" Li Xiu strode to the field, and then smiled Yang Dui and said, his eyes were full of joy looking at the endless potato seedlings in the field.

Yang Dui was discussing something with his officials, but he didn't notice Li Xiu, and when he heard his words, he raised his head, and then said with a smile: "Why are you here, but it's just right, can you take a look at the growth of our potatoes?" ”

"Yes, yes, the potatoes were almost planted to death in my hands at the beginning, and now it has only been a few years, and you have cultivated potatoes into such a large field, it seems that it will not take a few years to promote planting in other places!" Li Xiu looked at the potatoes around him and couldn't help but nod in admiration.

"If it weren't for your discernment and inviting someone to bring potatoes from the Americas, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to grow such a high-yield crop, and there is no need to be too anxious about the promotion of potatoes, after all, corn and sweet potatoes are still being promoted, and it is not too late to promote potatoes after they are promoted to the whole country." Yang Dui said with a smile at this time.

Hearing Yang Dui's words, Li Xiu also nodded, with the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes, the current food pressure in Datang is indeed not big, so the promotion of potatoes does not need to be too anxious, not to mention that the storage of potatoes is also a problem, although potatoes can be stored for a long time, but after a long time, they will sprout and even rot, sweet potatoes can still be dried into dried sweet potatoes, but what to do with potatoes? You can't dry potatoes too, can you?

However, Li Xiu didn't bother to care about these things, anyway, with Yang Dui and these people, they would always think of a way in the future, but there was one thing he didn't forget to tell Yang Dui, that is, potatoes are poisonous after they sprout, although they may not be able to poison people, but try not to eat them.

Just when Li Xiu and Yang Dui were talking about potatoes, they suddenly saw a carriage coming on the official road not far away, and Li Xiu recognized it as a carriage in the palace at a glance, which made him feel a little strange, and he couldn't figure out who left the palace?

"Pony!" But at this moment, he suddenly heard someone in the carriage calling Li Xiu, which made him stunned, and he knew who the other party was from this voice.

The carriage soon came to Li Xiu, only to see that the window of the car was opened, and an old man with a childish face was sitting to greet him, it was Sun Simiao, who was summoned into the palace by Li Shimin yesterday.

"Daoist Sun, why did you come back?" Li Xiu stepped forward and asked Sun Simiao with a smile, the other party was summoned into the palace by Li Shimin yesterday, and then went to check Du Ruhui's body, originally he thought that the other party should come back yesterday, but he didn't expect to come back today, which made Li Xiu also have a bad premonition.

I saw Sun Simiao jump out of the carriage, but his footsteps were a little vain, which made Li Xiu hurriedly step forward to support him, and then Li Xiu found that Sun Simiao's eyes were red and tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Donkey, this time thanks to you for finding out that something is wrong, otherwise Du Xiang may be in danger!" After Sun Simiao stood firm at this time, he also showed a scared expression at the moment.

"What's the matter, is Du Xiang's health terrible?" Li Xiu also asked eagerly when he heard this.

"It's not just bad, it's dangerous!" Sun Simiao waved his hand to let the people who sent him in the palace leave, and then pulled Li Xiu to the side and said, "Du Xiang's health is not very good, and in the past few years, he has been reversed day and night for the sake of government and politics, and his body has been greatly damaged, don't look at him is only in his forties, but his body is not as good as that of an old man in his seventies and eighties, fortunately, the horse found that Du Xiang's complexion was wrong, and finally let me have some time to recuperate his body, otherwise once the shortcomings in these bodies break out, I'm afraid even the Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him!" ”

"Then how is Du Xiang's health now, Sun Daochang, are you sure to cure his illness?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask nervously when he heard Sun Simiao say so seriously.
