……

After being full of wine and food, just a short rest, Li Shimin led a large group of people to the edge of the potato field that had not yet been harvested.

Because of the above instructions before, although I was very worried about whether these potatoes that were still buried in the ground would rot in the ground because they didn't have time to harvest them, they would rot in the ground because they didn't have time to harvest them, but considering that the people who came today were more noble than the other, they could only secretly worry in their hearts.

"These are potato fields that haven't had time to be harvested yet?" Standing on the edge of the field and pointing to the neat fields, Li Shimin asked.

"Back to the saint, since I received the commandment, I asked my subordinates to stop harvesting, and the remaining half of the potato field has not been harvested." As a landlord, Li Anran has already taken the opportunity to take a break after dinner to change into a new outfit at this time.

Don't look at it among all the people, Li Anran belongs to the younger one, but the lilac robe sets off a fairy wind bone. In particular, the bearing revealed between the eyebrows and words and deeds makes people feel a little unclear whether this person is really young, or whether he is a permanent person with a successful face.

Li Shimin, who had long seen from the state of the field that no one had touched his feet, stretched out his hand, and randomly selected three pieces from the potato fields that still had not been harvested, and said: "Come on, go and harvest the potatoes in these three fields." ”

The advantage of being a superior is that you don't need to do many things yourself. All it takes is an order. Naturally, there are a large number of people to get things done.

No, with Li Shimin's order, the soldiers who had just been mobilized from the nearby barracks immediately turned into farmers and rushed up and began to work in the three potato fields.

In order to ensure that the potatoes in the field would not be spoiled by these guys, Li Anran had to instruct Steward Wang to send a few skilled hands who collected potatoes the first day to the field to teach them well, so as to save these big soldiers from using brute force to cause waste.

As the saying goes, more people are half the thing, and the same is true for harvesting potatoes.

With ample manpower. Plus the guidance of a professional. Except for a few minor problems at the beginning, the subsequent harvesting operations went very smoothly and efficiently.

When the soldiers were transferred to farmers, Li Anran also asked Wang Youde to get scales.

There are two types of scales. One is a large scale of Datang time and space, which is specially used to weigh bulk items, such as grain. The other is a large electronic platform scale brought by Li Anran from modern time and space.

With baskets of freshly unearthed potatoes being sent to the edge of the field. The military generals of Wenchen led by Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling did not care about their respective identities, and began to weigh these potatoes by themselves.

Dig here, weigh there. After the last basket of potatoes was delivered to the edge of the field, the yield of one acre of land was also counted.

Although after getting Cheng Chuhei's urgent report before, Li Shimin didn't think that the people below dared to deceive him in this matter. But after seeing with his own eyes that this acre of potatoes had harvested enough to reach 200 stones, the heart that had been hanging finally let go.

And those Wenchen generals who did the scales by themselves regardless of their identities also confirmed that the output of the last acre of the three acres of potato fields had also passed 200 stones, and they did not forget to pat their assemblies while being excited, so the statement of "auspicious" was quickly recognized by everyone present.

In the face of this statement, even Li Shimin agrees. However, after weighing the potatoes, I became very interested in what was grown in other fields.

"Real person, in addition to potatoes, is there any food brought down from the upper realm here?" Li Shimin, who was holding a very heavy potato in his hand, looked at the other fields in the villa, and asked meaningfully.

"So that the True Dragon Son of Heaven knows that this potato is not the food of the upper realm, but the lower realm, which is what is already here." Li Anran, who was accompanying him as a guide, even if he couldn't hear that the other party had begun to think about his plans for other crops, said with a smile at the moment.

"What? This potato is something that we already have in Datang? Li Shimin, who was secretly admiring this thing in the upper realm just now, was directly stunned by these words.

"To be more precise, this potato is in the Nether Realm and not in Datang, which is not found in Datang, it is produced in a place called the high mountains of the Andes in South America." Li Anran, who didn't intend to hide the true origin of this thing, explained.

The reason why I don't hide it is also because I think that this kind of lie is completely unnecessary. If one day it is exposed by those foreigners who rushed to Datang from abroad, it will be easy to be self-defeating, and if it is not good, it will really be a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.

"High mountains of the Andes in South America? Where is this? Hearing about this place that he had never heard of at all, Li Shimin really couldn't imagine where this place was.

"According to the division of the upper realm, the lower realm, which is here, is divided into seven continents and four oceans. The region where Datang is located is called Asia, and the Andes Mountains are in South America. In addition to this, there are five continents: Europe, Africa, North America, Oceania, and Antarctica. ”

"As for the four oceans, they are divided into the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans according to their sea areas." Just planning to take this opportunity to popularize the concept of geography to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran talked about the basic knowledge of the earth's geographical division after talking about the seven continents and four oceans.

Although Li Shimin instinctively didn't believe such a statement, he thought that the person in front of him had an identity from the upper realm, and there was no need to deceive himself in this kind of thing.

In particular, the other party flew from Lantian County to Fuzhou in just a few days, and it is not difficult to get local specialties from other continents with such ability. So, I invisibly believed a little.

"Really, if you say that this potato is a variety from the Andes, doesn't it mean that the country to which the mountain range belongs has never had the worry of hunger?" Li Shimin, who was skeptical, asked.

"Holy Lord, I think you've made a mistake. Although this potato comes from the high mountains of the Andes Mountains in South America, the one I have in my hand is a variety that has been improved after being brought to the upper realm. Native potatoes don't have such a high yield, and they can't match the texture, nutrition and taste. Li Anran, who shook his head, said with a smile.

"Take it to the upper realm for improvement? So why don't you take ready-made specialties directly from the upper realm? Li Shimin, who found another question, asked.

"Holy Lord, I also want to bring something better, but I am a taboo." Li Anran, who knew what the other party was thinking, said again: "I can take down some magic weapons from the upper realm and use them, I have already been protected by the master, otherwise, where can I be as free as I am now, I would have become a mortal a long time ago." ”

"But didn't the real person take down some treasures from the upper realm before?" Recalling the gifts he received, Li Shimin still asked without giving up.

If Zhilu Dao didn't find a suitable explanation for this question, Li Anran, who would definitely be entangled by the other party, said with a smile: "Saint, those things are treasures in the lower realm, but their value in the upper realm is far less high than those crops that can have a huge impact on the mortal world. Take those gems and mirrors, for example, but they are just scraps of refining tools. So, I can bring those things, but I can't bring the original products of the upper realm. ”

"Waste? This...... How is this possible?! Recalling that those mirrors, gems and other items that were loved by the queen and the concubines were just waste discarded by others, Li Shimin didn't know for a while whether he should be angry or more in awe of the mysterious upper realm.

"Holy Lord, nothing is impossible." Li Anran, who knew that the other party was stunned by this statement, deliberately left a suspense and did not explain further, but walked to a field adjacent to the potato field, pointed to a somewhat withered plant and said: "The thing grown here is called peanuts, and it is also a crop whose fruit is hidden in the ground. ”

"The yield of this thing is about 1,000 catties, of course, this is only the yield before the improvement, after the improvement, the yield of this peanut can at least double."

Li Shimin, who was still a little entangled in his heart about taking waste as a treasure, quickly shifted his attention to the peanut field, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? So this kind of peanut is the same as potatoes, can it be used as both a vegetable and a grain? ”

Li Anran, who knew what the other party was planning, shook his head and said, "Peanuts can be used for vegetables, but not for food." Its biggest role is to use it to extract oil, which is edible and tastes very good in peanut oil. (To be continued......)
