In view of the ease and harmony of this anger, Germain was also much more comfortable at this time. In addition, at this time, seeing that it had been lifted, the appetite between the Tang monarchs and ministers, so he calmly explained to them one by one and said:

After these three seeds were translated into Tang, the seeds of the first bag were called Pineland. The seeds in the second bag are called sorrel. The seeds of this third bag can be called Hun Ti Onion. All three are vegetable seeds.

After growing, this pineapple ridge can be used leaves, stir-fried, and the cold salad is very refreshing. The sorrel is made with its stems, which can be stir-fried or pickled, giving it a crisp taste. As for this green onion, it uses its rhizome, and the taste is no different from that of green onions; However, the tubers are thicker and have a lot of juice, so they can be eaten raw or fried, and the taste is slightly spicy."

Listening to Germain's passionate explanation, many ministers above the court realized that these three types of seed Datang really didn't exist. Despite this, there are two people who have tasted these three types of vegetables, namely Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance. The two still remember that when they were in the country of Ni Bora, these three types of vegetables were not only often seen in the fields, but also made by the people of Ni Bora, which were very delicious.

With the nod of approval from Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance, coupled with Germain's words. The ministers and ministers are quite mouthful, and the aftertaste is endless. In the novelty, with a little expectation, I want to know how to cultivate this thing? How to harvest? How to make it into a delicacy? Therefore, some ministers asked these questions.

So, this Germain once again explained to them seriously: "

"In a year, this pineapple ridge can not only be planted in spring, but also sown in autumn, and can also be planted in winter. The spring planting time is basically in March every year, and the autumn sowing time is in mid to early August, as for this winter planting, it can be sown in the soil every winter, and it can germinate in the spring of the next year.

This sorrel is most suitable for autumn sowing. In principle, the seeds are sown after the autumn equinox and before the cold dew; It is suitable for places with mild climate and more rainfall. The harvest is usually harvested at the end of the following year, and it is advisable to feed on the bottom tuber.

This green onion is more adaptable to the climate. In principle, the best time to sow seeds is after the autumn harvest, and it can be picked around the beginning of summer of the following year. It is mainly suitable for soft soil, and it is advisable to feed on the rhizomes below".

After listening to his explanation, everyone understood the cultivation method of these three crops and the method of using them. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, in the face of new things, not only Li Shimin, but even the ministers were easy to accept and absorb; Therefore, they all smiled and were very pleased.

The people above this court, they never thought that since Zhang Qian chiseled through the Western Regions, this land of China could still import these three crops that had never been seen before. It seems that all this is due to the political harmony and the prosperity and strength of the country......

So this Li Shimin not only specially instructed this household department to accept these three heavy seeds; He also ordered the household department to send people to learn in detail the cultivation and care methods; After the success of the experiment, the cultivation will be promoted in suitable areas. So far, these three crops have been introduced to China, which not only enriches the dining table of the Chinese people, but also makes the Chinese people make all kinds of delicious food.

These three flavors of vegetables are also commonly found on our dinner tables today. This pineapple ridge is the spinach we use every day; This sorrel is the predecessor of the pickled mustard that we often use; And this Hun Ti green onion is the onion that we know and often see.

This is not only three heavy seeds, but also three soulful light of family affection, but also the light of hope that takes root and sprouts in the land of China. In the face of the far-reaching three seeds, we must not only thank Master Xuanzang, the messenger of the people, but also thank Wang Xuance, the official messenger; At the same time, I would like to thank Princess Wencheng, the princess Shengming who always worries about this Datang and reassures Datang.

When Germain saw the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers and was deeply satisfied with this tribute, he was also quite excited. And this scene was something he basically didn't expect.

That being said, this Germain is indeed a careful person. When I heard Li Shimin ask about this princess Wencheng just now, I naturally felt that the Tang Emperor loved this princess who married away from Tibet. In addition, the ministers were so pleased with this tribute, so they understood their thoughts even more. Therefore, in order to close the relationship between this mud Bora and the Tang Dynasty, I saw him say something like this again: "Your Majesty, I heard that I, King Narendra Deva, said that the seeds of these three crops were paid tribute to the Heavenly Empire at the suggestion of Princess Wencheng. ”

When he heard that this was the meaning of Princess Wencheng, the Tang Dynasty hall immediately talked about it, and the ministers not only exchanged their heads, but also frequently cast this envy and respect to Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.

And this Li Daozong heard that it was instructed by Xue Yan, so there were ripples of excitement in his heart again. I never thought that this girl, far away in a foreign land, did a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people for Datang......

When Wang Xuance heard this, he couldn't help but recall that five years ago, it was also their most recent meeting. Although Princess Wencheng has just entered Tibet for two years, although her skin has been quite sunburned by the scorching sun on this plateau; But the heart of helping Songtsen Gampo and governing Tibet well not only has not wavered at all, but it is also quite moving. Snow goose, your time has really come. Wang Xuance is not only proud of it, but also proud of it; A good son and daughter of Datang, a good bosom friend of his own.

And Li Shimin, when he heard that this was Princess Wencheng's proposal, he was quite moved. I never thought that the daughter of the Tang clan, who was the most suitable and the most knowledgeable, would be able to get this opportunity and cause and effect after marrying in Tubo.

Recalling that year, after marrying Princess Wencheng, I felt a little remorseful. Because he knew that this Songtsen Gampo had a great ambition since he was a child, and he only wanted to dominate the snowy plateau, although he was an adult at that time, but his ambition did not weaken in the slightest. But the Son of Heaven said that the horse was difficult to chase, and the words he said were like water spilled out, even if he had promised, he could only marry Princess Wencheng.

Although they have often been on guard against this Tubo over the years, and a few years ago they asked Wang Xuance to send an envoy to Nibra, the intention of the Tianzhu tribes is exactly this. If something happens in Tibet, not only can you attack from both sides, but you can also surprise and win.

I never thought that after a few years, Tubo was not only calm, but also thriving; There is no intention of becoming an enemy of Datang. It seems that he is really worried, and this Songtsen Gampo has indeed made this married girl completely tamed.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt that this married girl really had the legacy of Zhaojun; No, this girl is far better than Han Zhizhaojun. And all this should be attributed to the fact that Li Daozong gave birth to a good daughter for the Tang Dynasty......

Historical data: "New Tang Dynasty Book, Western Regions Biography, Ni Bo Luo": In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, Ni Bo Luo sent an envoy to the court to offer pine, sorrel, and Hun Ti green onions.
