"This is impossible, the yield of wheat per mu is only one or two hundred catties, the best field is only more than two hundred catties, although the yield of rice is a little higher, but even the most fertile paddy field, the yield of the best rice seeds is only more than three hundred catties, as for the yield of one thousand catties per mu, I am afraid that even the gods can't do it!" Li Yuan shook his head when he heard Li Chengdao's words, he didn't believe that there was a thousand catties of grain per mu in this world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Really, Imperial Grandfather, I don't lie to you, the yield of that kind of sweet potato is really high!" Seeing that his grandfather didn't believe it, Li Chengdao was also very anxious at this time, he was very simple-minded at a young age, and he just wanted his imperial grandfather to pay attention to sweet potatoes, so as to benefit the people of the world as soon as possible.

"Okay, maybe this crop called sweet potato does have a higher yield, and if I have time in the future, I will send someone to confirm it with Li Xiu." Li Yuan saw Li Chengdao's anxious appearance, but he said with a smile at the moment, but he didn't believe in his heart that there were crops with a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu in this world, otherwise it would be impossible for him, the emperor, not to know, and there was some truth in thinking like this, but it was a pity that Li Yuan didn't know that these crops came from the distant Americas.

"But......" Li Chengdao saw that his grandfather was just perfunctory, wanting to argue again but didn't know what to say, and finally just lowered his head in frustration, he knew that his grandfather was a very stubborn person, and it was useless to say anything unless he got tangible evidence.

"Okay, Chengdao is tired from going out for a day, and your father must be worried about you, so you better go back, I still have some things to talk about with Eunuch Pei!" At this time, Li Yuan spoke again, he didn't want to argue with a child about such an untrustworthy thing, in his opinion, either Li Chengdao heard it wrong, or Li Xiu was coaxing the child to play, but Li Chengdao actually believed it.

Li Chengdao didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's order, and finally had to turn around and leave silently, but his little face was still a little unwilling, and even a little aggrieved, when he came, he was very excited, thinking that he could save the people by relying on sweet potatoes, but he didn't expect that his grandfather didn't believe his words at all.

Seeing his grandson leave with an aggrieved face, Li Yuan shook his head with a smile, this child's personality is good, but he is a little stubborn, but this is very similar to himself, and he was more stubborn than Li Chengdao when he was young, and sometimes he didn't even want to listen to the opinions of his elders.

"Your Majesty, do you really say that there is really a thousand catties of grain per mu?" But at this moment, he suddenly only heard Pei Lian, who had not spoken, say, and when Li Yuan turned his head, he saw that the other party's face was full of doubts.

"Haha~, Eunuch Pei, you don't really believe the words of a child, do you?" Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the king of Anlu County also said just now that Li Xiu has cultivated a new vegetable, which is not only very large, but can also be preserved for a winter, although we are surprised, but we do not doubt that since Li Xiu has such a ability, why is it impossible for him to cultivate a grain that yields a thousand catties per mu?" Pei Lin finally asked rhetorically, in comparison, he seemed to have more confidence in Li Xiu, but he overestimated Li Xiu a little, sweet potatoes are not artificially created like cabbage.

"This ......" Li Yuan also showed a deep expression after listening, he had contact with Li Xiu several times, and collected a lot of information about Li Xiu from all aspects, but his understanding of Li Xiu was still limited, no, it should be that Li Yuan thought that he knew Li Xiu well enough every time, but he could always do things that he didn't expect, which also made him always feel that Li Xiu was shrouded in a layer of fog that made him see the truth.

"But is there really a crop in this world that yields thousands of pounds per acre?" Li Yuan pondered for a long time, and finally asked in disbelief, even if he asked Pei Lin and asked himself.

"Your Majesty, why are you so entangled, it just so happens that I am free tomorrow, why don't I go on a trip on behalf of Your Majesty and see with your own eyes what that sweet potato in the mouth of King Anlu Jun is!" At this time, I saw Pei Xiao suddenly smiled and said, he had seen Li Xiu twice before, but each time he would have a different feeling, especially after seeing Li Xiu worship with Princess Pingyang in disregard of etiquette last time, it had a great shock to him.

"It's okay, then Eunuch Pei, you can go for me!" Li Yuan also nodded in agreement after hearing this, since he became the emperor, he couldn't go out as casually as before, which also made Pei Lin almost his eyes and ears, and only Pei Lian's words could make him fully believe that even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin couldn't compare with Pei Lian.

Early the next morning, Pei Lin left Chang'an City and went straight to Li Xiu's house, now the spring is just right, Pei Lin rarely goes out, so he opened the car window, while walking while enjoying the spring outside, only to see that both sides of the road are full of green wheat seedlings, although it was very cold last winter, but there was also a lot of snow, which made the moisture in the field very good, and even no longer need to irrigate, all the wheat grew very well, as the prime minister of this huge emperor, Pei Lin also felt very full in his heart.

Seeing that the Li family Zhuangzi, who had arrived not far from Li Xiu's house, crossed a small river in front of him and walked a few hundred steps, which was Li Xiu's home, which also made Pei Xiao start to think about what to say when he saw Li Xiu later? Although yesterday he said to Li Yuan that he was here to inquire about the situation of sweet potatoes for him, in fact, it was not so simple for him to come to see Li Xiu.

"Huh?" But at this moment, when Pei Lian's eyes inadvertently swept over a field by the river, he was surprised to find that there was a crop growing in the field that he didn't know at all, and what was even more surprising was that most of the wheat seedlings had only grown to the height of chopsticks, but this crop had grown to more than knees, and against the background of the surrounding wheat fields, it seemed a little outstanding and very conspicuous.

"Stop!" Pei Lin couldn't help but say when he saw this strange crop, although he was not from a farmer's family, he also suffered a lot when he was young, plus he had a lot of experience in most of his life, and he was also very familiar with crops, but he had never seen this kind of crop in front of him, and he knew that it was either Li Xiu's field or the princess's field nearby, so he suspected that this was the legendary sweet potato.

With a little curiosity, Pei Lin jumped out of the carriage, because he was afraid of stepping on the crops, so he didn't bring anyone, and came to this strange crop alone along the ridge, looked down seriously, and saw that the rhizomes of this crop were thick, and the wheat seedlings next to it could not be compared at all, and the leaves were wide and long, looking like a sharp sword, and looking at the appearance of these crops, it seemed that they would grow taller.

"It looks a little similar to sorghum, but since there is a 'potato' in the name of sweet potato, it should be that the root below is edible, so does it mean that the root below has another mystery?" Pei Lin said to himself at this time, the word potato is a general term for all the crops that underground rhizomes can eat people.

After Pei Lin finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and finally squatted down, rolled up his sleeves and planned to dig up the soil below to see the rhizome of this crop, so as to verify his conjecture, but unfortunately he didn't know that the crop in front of him was not sweet potatoes at all, but corn.

"Food thief, don't run!" But as soon as Pei Lin made a move, he suddenly saw a sound in the distance, and then he saw an old farmer waving a hoe and rushing towards him, it seemed that he regarded him as a thief.

"I ...... I'm not ......" Pei Lin instinctively wanted to explain, but seeing the other party's angry momentum, he couldn't wait to smash him to death with a hoe, which made him scold secretly, these farmers value their crops more than their lives, and you deserve to be killed by others, and even the government will give a light sentence.

"Run!" Pei Lin knew that it was useless to explain anything at this time, not to mention that he really wanted to dig other people's crops, and the soil in his hands was ironclad evidence, if he was beaten by an old farmer, it would be called faceless, so the best way now is to escape back into the carriage on the road.

Fortunately, the farmer wielding the hoe was far away from Pei Lian, and he was afraid of trampling on the crops, so he couldn't run fast, so Pei Lin easily ran back to his carriage, and then shouted a loud order: "Get out of here quickly!" ”

Maybe it was because he saw Pei Lin actually get into a luxury carriage on the road, and the old farmer stopped chasing, but even so, he still kept scolding, those corn was very valued by Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, in fact, Li Xiu had told the people of the Li family Zhuangzi to take care of these corns day and night, and they must not be hurt in any way, with Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang behind their backs, so the waist of the Li family Zhuangzi was stiffened, even if you are a nobleman in Chang'an City, don't think about it if you move the corn.

Pei Lian, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled bitterly at this time, he didn't expect that he would be chased by an old farmer so embarrassed, of course, with his mind, he would not have anything to do with an old farmer in the countryside, otherwise it would only make people laugh even more.

The carriage crossed the wooden bridge over the river, and finally came to the door of Li Xiu's house, and then he stepped forward and knocked on the door with his own hands, and then a strange maid opened the door, looked him up and down, and then asked, "What is the matter with this guest?" ”

"May I ask if your master is at home, old man Pei Lian, come to visit!" Pei Lin smiled and said, he came to Li Xiu's house last time, but it was not received by this maid.

"Pei Lian? Ah, I remember, you are the father of my wife? When the maid heard Pei Lian's name, she was stunned at first, and then said with a sudden face, but her memory was obviously problematic, and she confused the names of Pei Lin and Pei Ju, and after finishing speaking, she saw that the maid said with a straight face, "I'm sorry, my lord and wife are not here, so you better go back!" ”

After the maid finished speaking, she closed the door with a "bah~", which made Pei Lin outside the door smile bitterly, it seems that he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, he was first chased by an old farmer, and now he is trapped in confusing the name of the other party and eating a closed door.
