Chapter 263: Li Yuan and the Sweet Potato (I)
"Li sacrifices to stop drinking!" Li Xiu just came to the gate of the other courtyard, but he saw a guard in full armor blocking his way, which made him stunned, because he didn't seem to know this guard, but the armor on the other party's body made him feel a little familiar, and there were several guards wearing the same armor behind him.

"You are ......" Li Xiu looked at these familiarly dressed guards but couldn't name them for a while, but he was sure that he must have seen the same dressed guards before.
"Qi Li sacrificial wine, below is the palace guard Liu Lian, Your Majesty is talking to the princess inside!" I saw that this guard replied very respectfully, he had met Li Xiu with Li Yuan before, but Li Xiu didn't notice him.
"Your Majesty is here?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, but then he thought of Li Yuan's calculation of himself last time, and he didn't bother to see him at the moment, so he turned around and was about to leave.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a woman's voice from behind me: "Li Xianjiu stays, princess, please come in!" ”
Hearing this voice, Li Xiu knew that the person who spoke was the helmet next to Princess Pingyang, and he turned around helplessly, and then followed her into the courtyard, and the guards next to him naturally did not stop him, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xiu asked the helmet: "Why is Your Majesty here today?" ”
"The slave maid doesn't know, originally the princess said today that she was going to go with you to see the yield of sweet potatoes, but before lunch, His Majesty suddenly came, and then the princess accompanied His Majesty to lunch, and then she has been chatting in the living room, and the princess knows that you are coming, so she let the slave wait at the door!" Helmet replied softly.
When he spoke, Li Xiu and the helmet also came to the living room, when Li Xiu entered, he happened to see Li Yuan talking quietly with Princess Pingyang, although he was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan in his heart, but Li Xiu could only step forward and salute: "Minister Li Xiu see Your Majesty!" ”
"No need to be polite, I was also very satisfied with the canned food last time, and I also strongly supported Cheng Yanjin to establish a canned food workshop in the northern Xinjiang, I hope you can make more similar things in the future, so as to benefit the people of the world!" When Li Yuan saw Li Xiu, he couldn't help but smile and said, and he didn't mention anything about him forcing Li Xiu to marry, as if that thing was not done by him at all.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" Li Xiu said that the last time Li Yuan first saw canned food, he was quite contemptuous, and now he fully supports the construction of the canning workshop, he, the emperor, is really the leader!
Seeing Li Xiu's cold appearance, Li Yuan also knew that he must still have resentment in his heart, but he smiled lightly and didn't care, no matter what, his marriage was already in the end, and no one could change it, even if he had resentment in his heart now, he still had to use it for himself, and he was already thinking about where to arrange for Li Xiu to do things?
At that moment, Li Yuan asked Li Xiu to sit down, and then continued to chat with Princess Pingyang, Li Xiu listened quietly, but the more he listened, the more funny he felt, because the content of Li Yuan's conversation was not new at all, and it was all about complaining about Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin as before, so he came to Pingyang's daughter to complain, but he didn't want to think about it, who should be blamed for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's quarrel at this point?
For Li Yuan's complaints, Li Xiu only felt very bored, listened to it, and almost fell asleep in the end, but at this moment, he suddenly only heard Li Yuan speak to him: "Li Xiu, I heard Pei Jian say last time that you have a high-yield crop called sweet potato here, and I just happen to be free today, so why don't you go and take a look!" ”
"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but sober up all of a sudden when he heard this, and secretly shouted in his heart at the moment that it was not good, the sweet potato must be dedicated to Li Yuan, but how to give it is very particular, Li Xiu has already thought of a plan for this, but now Li Yuan suddenly wants to see the sweet potato in advance, which will definitely disrupt his plan.
"What? Could it be that there is something unsightly about this sweet potato, or that it is simply fake? Li Yuan saw the hesitation on Li Xiu's face, and suddenly sneered and said, he had doubted the authenticity of this sweet potato before, and now Li Xiu's performance made him even more suspicious.
"Father, how can sweet potatoes be fake, speaking of which, we were originally going to take a look at the yield of sweet potatoes, and it just so happened that you are here, so let's go together!" Princess Pingyang didn't know about Li Xiu's plan, and she was eager to explain it to Li Xiu, so she immediately spoke.
Li Xiu wanted to stop Princess Pingyang when he heard Princess Pingyang's words, but unfortunately it was too late, so he had no choice but to nod and say: "Since Your Majesty wants to see sweet potatoes, the ministers naturally can't ask for them, and the sweet potatoes are planted in the fields outside the princess's courtyard, please move!" ”
Seeing Princess Pingyang mention sweet potatoes, she seemed to be very confident, which made Li Yuan also doubt his previous judgment, and immediately stood up and walked out of the courtyard with Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu.
The earliest sweet potatoes were planted in the vegetable field of the greenhouse, and later after Li Xiu harvested the sweet potato vines, most of the sweet potatoes were transplanted to the fields by the river, in fact, this was also a vegetable field, vegetables grow fast, and the requirements for land are also high, so the general vegetable fields are the most fertile land, so the first batch of sweet potatoes are planted here.
When Li Xiu took Li Yuan to the sweet potato field, he saw that everything he saw was green, some sweet potato vines had even grown into the river, and the ridges were also full of green, in fact, strictly speaking, sweet potatoes were also a very invasive species, as long as they grew on a piece of land, it would be difficult to clean up in the future, because the rhizomes below the ground were easy to grow again, unless all the rhizomes were dug up and eaten like humans.
"These are the so-called sweet potatoes?" Li Yuan looked at the field in front of him that was covered with green, and there was nowhere to put his feet, and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, sweet potatoes not only have a high yield, but also do not pick the ground, but in order to make it better to reproduce, so it is planted in this fertile land, and its edible rhizomes grow in the ground, so you don't have to worry about disasters such as hail and wind, and even have a strong resistance to locust plagues, which can be said to be the best crop." Li Xiu also nodded with satisfaction at this time, just the sweet potato vines grow so lushly, and the yield of sweet potatoes below should not be too bad.
"Come and dig up a few and take a look, I can't wait!" Princess Pingyang picked up a hoe at this time and said, the best tool for digging sweet potatoes is something called a grappling hook, just like pulling a fork to ninety degrees, but Datang has not at this time, so he can only use a hoe instead.
Seeing Princess Pingyang do it, Li Xiu also picked up the hoe and began to dig, and at the same time he was silently thinking in his heart: Whether it can succeed depends on the performance of these sweet potatoes, I hope they don't let themselves hope! (To be continued.) )
