Chapter 333 The Immortal Grass of the Linyi Kingdom
"Rice seeds?" Li Er frowned and thought for a while, and just wanted to count the loss of face caused him by Li Chengqian's ignorance, when he saw that bastard boy constantly comparing a 'six' gesture.
Six? Li Er was a little confused, and then his face changed suddenly, and even his voice trembled a little: "You, you mean that three-crop rice?" ”
Li Chengqian looked back at Yang Yuxin's little girl, and after getting her affirmation, he turned around and said, "Yes, father, the three-season rice seeds of Linyi Kingdom have arrived in Luoyang and will arrive in Chang'an soon." ”
"Your Highness, three, three crops of rice, yes, what is it, what does it mean?" Fang Xuanling's voice stammered a little, although there was some faint speculation in his heart, but before he got a positive answer, he still couldn't believe it.
"It means that you can plant three crops a year, so what's there to ask." Hou Junji took over the conversation with a big grin, but Fang Xuanling didn't even look at him, and still stared at Li Chengqian with straight eyes.
"Uncle Fang, General Hou is right, it is indeed a rice seed that can be planted three seasons a year. It's just that because of the relationship between geography and climate, only two crops should be planted in the south of Datang, and one season can be planted in the north, but the maturity period will be much shorter. ”
While Li Chengqian answered Fang Xuanling, he was also giving the old man a reassurance, saving the old Li from being suspicious and unwilling to believe it.
"Your Highness, this, how is this possible, how can there be a ...... in the world How could there be such a thing? Although what Li Chengqian said was true, Fang Xuanling still refused to believe it.
"Is it possible, just plant it." Li Er had already collected his mind at this time, and after slowly pacing back to the table, he looked at Li Chengqian and said in a deep voice: "Let them not have to go to Chang'an, just turn around and go to Jiannan Road to try planting." ”
Li Chengqian twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that the old man was a little too anxious: "Father, I'm afraid it's too late this year, the seeds in all parts of Jiangnan should have been planted by now, and now I'm afraid of ......."
"Yes, Your Majesty, what the prince said is right, the rice seeds in Jiangnan have been planted, and now the trial planting is bound to come out, and it will change the people." Fang Xuanling is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, as soon as Li Chengqian said that it was too late, he immediately thought of the key point of the matter.
"Hmm!" Li Er was told by Fang Xuanling and Li Chengqian, and he also realized that he was anxious, and laughed at himself unconsciously: "It's true that I'm a little anxious, but I'm looking forward to the day when my Datang grain output doubles." ”
After years of war, Datang has just stabilized in recent years, and caught up with a series of natural disasters such as locust plague and drought, and a large number of people have no livelihood to flee the famine.
All this is a nightmare for Li Er, who has great ambitions.
The Turks have been on the border for many years, and the border conflicts in Goguryeo have been continuous, and even Tuyuhun has been looking for nothing in recent years.
But Li Er had no choice but to endure all this, and if he couldn't bear it, he used the necessity of keeping his word to suppress his emotions.
The Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that at the beginning of Zhenguan, it is not an exaggeration to say that millions of armor are armored, but these million armored soldiers have been suppressed to death because of the problem of food, and even some troops do not even dare to train too much, in order to fear that the physical consumption of the soldiers is too large, and the food is too much, and the supply cannot keep up.
And now, if three crops of rice can really produce three crops a year, no, two crops, if it can really produce two crops a year, this is enough for Li Er to let go and give a lesson to those guys who have provoked the Tang Dynasty, so that they know what is the extinction of the dead race.
"Father, it is impossible to double, this is just like the truth of the south orange and the north orange, so Erchen thinks that it is good enough to be six or seven percent more than in previous years." Regarding the old man's expectations, Li Chengqian believes that he should make a move in advance, and he can't let Lao Li have too high expectations, otherwise if something goes wrong, he is afraid that he will be unlucky.
"Six or seven percent is not bad, and it is enough to have these six or seven percent." There was also an inexplicable smile at the corner of Li Er's mouth, this smile was very hideous in Li Chengqian's eyes, and he didn't know how many aliens would die under this inexplicable smile in the future.
Three days later, tens of thousands of catties of rice seeds were transported to the Yicang used by the Dushui Supervisor to store relief grain, and Wu Chen, who had been away from Chang'an for several months, appeared in Li Chengqian's 'Lanruo Temple' with a body of exhaustion.
"Sit down, what are you doing there? What's wrong with waiting for Lao Tzu to praise you? Li Chengqian looked at Wu Chen, who was smiling and couldn't see his teeth, and scolded angrily.
"Your Highness, the minister wants to kill you." Wu Chen smiled and sat on the chair to the side and opened the conversation.
"Get out of the way, where is the hippie smiley, you kid and Li Yue along the way, you and I almost missed the business, and I didn't settle accounts with you." Li Chengqian is a nostalgic person, although he has not seen him for several months, his relationship with Wu Chen does not seem unfamiliar, and his words are like old friends who have not seen him for many years.
"Your Highness, you have wronged me......" Wu Chen immediately pretended to have a pitiful expression when he heard the reckoning.
After a few jokes, Li Chengqian's face turned straight and said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't be poor, let's talk about this harvest." ”
"The harvest is really not big, the place is broken, the weather is hot, not to mention, the people are lazy to die, every day in addition to eating and sleeping, the ground is not good to plant, the seeds are thrown into the ground even if it is over......, the minister stayed there for about ten days, not to mention the prickly heat of the whole body, and finally caught a cold."
As soon as he talked about business, Wu Chen complained all over his stomach, feeling that Lin Yi was simply not a place where normal people could stay.
When he went to Linyi, it was the winter of Datang, and the temperature in Linyi was still more than 20 degrees, although it didn't rain much, but it was foggy every day.
Such conditions made Wu Chen very unaccustomed, so he was rightly infected with the wind cold, and lay dead for seven or eight days, because there was no doctor, so he could only stiffen his head and stand up, and he almost didn't hold on to death several times.
However, after listening to Wu Chen's description, Li Chengqian knew that what he got at all was not cold, but malaria, and it was really not easy to come back alive.
But now that the times have changed, it is useless to say this, and Li Chengqian's attention has been attracted by another thing described by Wu Chen.
"Your Highness, don't you know, those guys have something called fairy grass, which is said to be able to make people ascend to the immortal realm after sucking it, and it is not used by non-nobles. When the minister came back this time, the nobles of Zilinyi also sent a lot of ministers, and when the goods on the ship were unloaded tomorrow, the ministers will present them to you. ”
Wu Chen, who was chattering, only cared about boasting to himself, and didn't see that Li Chengqian's face had become very ugly, and his cold appearance seemed to be able to scrape a layer of frost on his face.
From April 23rd to May 7th, double the monthly pass, the danger is here to ask for a ticket... Thank you!
