Chapter 42: A Steady Life.

The matter caused an uproar in the court, Li Er was eager to develop the Americas, the ministers thought that it was too far away from the Central Plains, and now the treasury was empty, and it was not suitable for development, Li Chengyan naturally thought so, and agreed very much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Your Majesty is naturally blessed to get this heaven-sent land, but where is too huge, twice as big as the Tang Dynasty, if it is developed with the strength of the whole country, it is naturally feasible, but Weichen feels that it is better to do it slowly than so."

"Xiao Qing said how to develop slowly," Li Er asked, he couldn't wait, the richness of the Americas made Li Er's heart fascinated, unlike the smoky land in the south, where is the barren land, there is no nomadic attack, the wild tribe will only hand over their lives under the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty, and they can develop with peace of mind,

"First, the people of the Mo family have a huge boat, and they can come and go once a year, so let's first find some displaced people who are willing to develop and go to the Americas, plus thousands of soldiers, and natural life will be unhindered, and second, send a capable prince to settle down, and slowly develop from one city to one county, from one county to one state, from one state to another, and it will not take a hundred years to develop less than half," Xiao Yu said.

"This is not a bad way, two years of drought in a row, although it will not be mournful, and there are hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the land of SDHNHB," Li Er rubbed his forehead and said, it's not that he doesn't want to develop the country, in the two years since he ascended the throne, the reality of the Turks has struck, and there is a succession of great droughts, and there is no strength to develop such a far place, "Father, put it aside at this time, and the son has a happy event to tell you." Li Chengyan said out of class.

"The prince said let's see" Li Shimin is very fond of this eldest son, witty, smart, although he is lazy about political affairs, but he is better than being young, so let's train slowly.

"Last year, General Erchen Tuo Dan mixed the seeds of the north and the seeds of Jieluo in the land of Lingnan, although more than a dozen acres of rice seeds were wasted, but it was also successful, this year's second crop has come out, and the yield per mu is two percent more than before, Erchen's own Zhuangzi planted the seeds in the spring, and just yesterday, the people on the Zhuangzi came to inform Erchen that those rice can be harvested recently" Li Chengyan replied with a smile.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, didn't speak, and didn't say anything about the yield per mu, just because the short four-month maturity period surprised everyone, what is this? Is it a miracle?

"Am I serious?" Li Er was so shocked that he got up from his seat and said to Li Chengyan.

"Naturally," Li Chengyan said.

"Haha, haha, hahaha, come here, drive Yanluo Town, I want to see the new rice today" Li Er walked off the high platform and grabbed Li Chengyan and walked out, then walked to everyone: "Ride a horse, ride a horse, I can't wait." ”

The old Xiao Yu looked at a few ministers who were also old and smiled bitterly, Li Er noticed his gaffe and said to Li Chengyan, "Prepare the car for the bosses, let's go first, by the way, call the queen." "His Majesty Li Er hurriedly went out of the palace with the escort team, the forbidden army was busy with a person turning over on his back, closing the road, guarding, and checking, from Chang'an to Yanluo Town only thirty miles, riding a horse for less than half an hour, along the way the rice seedlings are still returning to green, the rice here still has two months to mature, although Li Er has not planted the land, but the farming time is still clear, Li Er's heart is beating fast, he is afraid that these are in a dream, if it is true, then no matter how much the yield is, at least two crops a year, which is equivalent to two years of production in the previous year, If it's all like this, you can sit firmly in your own seat, and the threat of the SD family will no longer exist, the Li family is the real king of the Central Plains, in an agricultural country, the output of agricultural products is the only standard to measure this country, Li Er's speed of urging the horse is getting faster and faster, and it has surpassed the guards and honor guards, only Li Chengyan hurriedly followed behind Li Er,

Soon after, Li Er slowly stopped, this is Li Chengyan's experimental field, I mentioned to myself before, Li Er didn't pay attention to anything, but looking at the golden rice field blown by the wind like waves, Li Er stared at the rice field tightly, afraid that he would not be able to see this beautiful scenery when he turned his head or in the blink of an eye, and walked to the edge of the field step by step, the old man who had just finished serving the field knew Li Chengyan, but he didn't know Li Er, Li Er was wearing a dragon robe, and he disliked the crown and threw it to his own guards on the way, "Yo, Your Highness, "The old man also doesn't give courtesy, this is Li Chengyan's regulations, there are more than 300 such old men, all of them are to save Li Chengyan and Luo Yi died under the Turkic sword and arrow, Li Chengyan said that you are the elders of my life-saving benefactor, and you are not allowed to salute yourself,

"Ahem, Uncle Liu, this is Your Majesty" Li Chengyan coughed embarrassedly, pointing to Li Er who was on the edge of the field.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor" The old man had been a soldier and knelt down on one knee to salute Li Er.

"Your surname is Liu, this rice is almost ripe" Li Er pinched the rice that had just been kneaded, threw it into his mouth, chewed it gently, the guard of honor had already arrived, and the generals had also arrived, and everyone was smiling when they looked at the yellow-orange wheat waves. Cheng Yanjin ate a few grains of wheat like Li Er, and said with a grin, "This can be harvested in a few days in the sun, good things, much fuller than the previous wheat."

"General, our wheat is all manure, and it naturally grows well," the old man said with a smile to Cheng Cheng.

"Manure, isn't it plant ash? This big dung can also become fat," asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

"We didn't know before, it was all His Highness who served us, at that time we complained a lot about His Highness, the rice here was planted late, the east of the town was planted early in the mountain, and the rice has begun to be harvested over there, where might you go to see"

"Chengyan leads the way" Li Er got on the horse, ignored everyone, and walked towards the east of the town, when passing through the town, everyone is an observer of the difference This town, although it is a small town, the town has wine shops, sugar mills, and there are no less than a dozen of the markets, the women are busy shuttling through the streets and alleys, and the children are not afraid to see everyone, and they are still stretching their heads and curious a large number of people, most of them have been to this town, Li Er has also come, knowing the prosperity of this, ignoring these, the market is not suitable for horses, and slowly rode to the east of the village,

The eldest grandson was wearing a linen skirt and face, Yang Ting'er collected the cut wheat, and the Yang concubines on the side were also there, seeing Li Er coming, he wiped the sweat on his head and walked to Li Er's side to give a salute, Li Er wiped the ashes off the eldest grandson's face with his sleeve lovingly, watched his sons cut rice with a sickle in front, and said to the back: "Such a happy event, why don't you do it yourself" and asked for a sickle, Li Er looked at the sickle that was different from the cognition and wondered: "This is also what you made"? I saw that the sickle was quite simple, the sickle I had seen was crescent-shaped, and the sickle in my hand was just a wooden stick with a straight blade pressed on it, and it was put on the top of the stick.

"Father will know if you try it." Li Chengyan also took a sickle and walked to a few younger brothers with Li Er, Li Er smiled and praised a few people, then bent down to cut rice, and a few people chatted while working, Li Ke kept thinking about yesterday's events, and went back to the palace to tell Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang was also very supportive of Li Chengyan's idea, although Concubine Yang was worried about her son, but she was more afraid that the child would give birth to ideas that she shouldn't have in Chang'an, so she asked Li Er carefully.

"Father, how did the court discuss the affairs of the Americas?"

"Got it figured"? Li Shimin asked rhetorically, he also likes this third son, very similar to himself, Li Chengyan's wisdom lies in strategy and innovation like natural wisdom, and his third son is more like himself, smart and decisive.

"Hehe, don't you also want to share your father's worries, yesterday my brother, second brother, and fourth brother discussed, one person for five years, plus the time spent on the road is almost five and a half years, take turns." Li Ke smiled embarrassedly after being debunked.

"Wait a little longer, and you'll be ready," Li said.

"The fourth brother went over there to pay attention to one thing, there is a lot of gold and silver in the Americas, bring more craftsmen in this area, and I have something I want to talk to my father," Li Chengyan said.

"It's okay to say anything," Li Er said

"Now the sea ships of the public losers are obviously not enough, this is still built by several of them with all the expenses, the people of the public losers only go to part of it this time, and the other part let them enter the Ministry of Industry, and those who enter the court will leave a part to study ordnance, and the other part will go to shipbuilding first, and the money matter of our family industry can almost be supported, and the people of the five surnames and seven families can no longer be mixed in this matter" Li Chengyan was very wary of the people of the five surnames and seven families, "In addition, the sergeants must also be rotated every five years, and they must go steadily, otherwise they will make wedding dresses for others." This is what Li Chengyan has been worried about, it is too far away from the Central Plains, and the future generations of Britain will not suffer this evil result.

"That's the reason, go back and think of a complete way with them, that place will be your brother and sister's family business in the future, you can't move" Li Shimin said to Li Chengyan, knowing Li Chengyan's methods, snatching things from those children, those few tied together are not Li Chengyan's opponents.

"It's nothing, in fact, what I want to go to the most is the Americas, where it is simply a godsend, there is no such chaos as the Central Plains, just development." Li Chengyan said.

"That's why I left you in the Central Plains, as long as your means are not greedy for merit, you will slowly pull out those tumors, and when the time comes, the sea will be unified, the Americas will help each other outside, and you and I will be in charge, and the Tang Dynasty will have no enemies." Li Shimin has never been so happy today, everything seems to have been solved overnight, with the potatoes that yield fifteen stone per mu, as well as high-yield corn, and now there is this year's double-cropping rice, his own blood and the means to ascend the throne have all disappeared, the people of the five surnames and seven families are slowly cleaning up, Li Chengyan's improvement of printing and papermaking is almost completed, and the land development in Guanzhong is almost over, and those people are asked to develop Lingnan and Baling, and their own rivers and mountains are made of iron, and the stuffiness in their chests is swept away, remembered the poem made by Li Chengyan and chanted loudly

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging.

Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test.

It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.

Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; The ancestor of Wei and Jin is slightly less coquettish.

On the grassland, Jieli is a child, and he only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.

The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. ”
