Chapter 0180 Empress Changsun advises Li Shimin
"Spread my will, on such a happy day today, I should celebrate with hundreds of officials!"
"After the potatoes are harvested, today I and the queen, together with all Aiqing, will taste the potato feast."
Li Shimin's words made the officials excitedly bow again one by one.
Except for Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin, the ministers didn't know what this potato tasted like.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to feast on it now?
As a result, all the civil and military generals excitedly joined the harvest team.
Following His Majesty's example, he began to pluck potatoes with his bare hands.
Originally, the area where potatoes were planted was not very large.
Coupled with the strength of the people, soon a piece of land was completely uprooted.
The ministers pulled in front, and the soldiers stationed there were not idle, they were collecting potatoes in the back.
Cheng Yanjin stared at the two bull's eyes, where did he roar.
"It's all for Lao Tzu to look carefully, if anyone dares to drop half a potato, be careful of your ass."
When the soldiers heard this, they didn't dare not be careful, this guy's ass problem would rather die than give in!
So, the soldiers dug deep, dug deeper, and dug deeper!
Never let go of any of them, even potatoes and eggs with big fingernails.
Wait until all the potatoes pile up!
Good guys, everyone's eyes lit up.
That's a real pile!
Many people looked at this hill-like potato and swallowed vigorously.
After all, after working hard for most of the day, I am indeed tired and hungry at the moment.
"Your Majesty, what should you do with that cornfield?"
Cheng bit the golden fart and ran to Li Shimin.
Judging from His Majesty's smiling expression, he was still very satisfied with the potatoes he planted.
Li Shimin looked at the cornfield when he heard this, and when he came, he had already noticed the land.
I didn't expect this corn to grow taller than a person.
"Guanyin, go with me and have a look."
Hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun smiled and nodded.
The two walked side by side towards the cornfield.
Just took the opportunity to tell Li Shimin if she still had something to say.
"Erlang, do you remember what Gongzi Chu said when he gave these seeds?"
Listening to Guanyin's words, Li Shimin laughed.
"Of course I do."
"Chu Gongzi said that once these potatoes and corn are successfully planted, it will not take long to plant the entire Wannian County, the entire Chang'an City, and the entire Tang Dynasty in less than three years."
"Guanyin, my people are not far from saying goodbye to hunger once and for all."
When Li Shimin said this, the expression on his face was very relieved and pleasant.
"Erlang remembers, these are incomparably precious seeds right now, just now Erlang promised in front of the officials that he would set up a potato feast."
"The concubine thinks that now is not the time for extravagance and waste, such a precious seed, every bite we eat may be a few days, or even half a month's ration for the family."
"Erlang also saw it, it's just a plant, the yield is around fifteen catties, and its seed is just a small potato chip!"
Guanyin's words made Li Shimin instantly understand what she meant.
I always open my mouth and close my mouth to let the people do what they do, but Guanyin has always kept it in my heart.
"Guanyin, I know what you mean."
"I was indeed a little abrupt just now, but since I have promised the ministers, I naturally can't break my promise, so let's waste less potatoes! The rest is used as seeds. ”
When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she smiled!
"What Erlang said is very true, the concubines look at the size of the egg, and there are not a few potatoes the size of fingernails."
"If such a small potato is used as a seed, it must not grow too big a fruit, so it is better to use them to fulfill the promise that Erlang made to the ministers just now!"
Listening to Guanyin's words, Li Shimin nodded solemnly.
"Okay, that's it."
As they spoke, they walked to the cornfield.
A fresh and refined breath came to the face.
Even the air smells sweet.
In the middle of each corn, a large mallet appeared crookedly.
Some can even crook out two.
There is no doubt that this is the fruit of corn.
"Guanyin, if I remember correctly, this is the fruit of corn!"
"Erlang, the concubine remembers what Gongzi Chu said, what comes out of this crooked is the fruit of corn."
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and with a click, the two ears of corn were broken off by Li Shimin's hands.
"Guanyin, let's see if this corn is ripe!"
The husks of the two ears of corn were still green.
Li Shimin and Guanyin were peeled off layer after layer.
Only then can the corn be peeled clean.
Good guys, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help but gasp when they saw the delicate corn presented in front of them.
"Erlang, this is too delicate and delicate!"
"You see, these grains are like pearls."
"Erlang, it's still out of the water!!"
Empress Changsun accidentally touched the corn kernels with her fingernails, and it turned out to be watery.
"Guanyin, it seems that this corn is not ripe yet!"
"I remember that Gongzi Chu said that when this corn is ripe, the corn kernels are very hard."
"I also remember that Gongzi Chu said that corn that can pinch out water is the best when cooked."
"It seems that these two ears of corn, the two of us have a good mouth."
Guanyin nodded when she heard this, and now it can only be like this.
It is impossible to put the broken corn on it and let it continue to ripen.
I saw His Majesty and the Queen Mother, one holding an ear of corn!
Cheng bit Jin and trotted in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, is this corn feasible to harvest?"
"Zhijie, now the corn is still very tender, and it will come out of the water when you pinch it!"
"But I think that they are not far from maturity, and Zhijie should send someone to take care of them."
"These potatoes and corn are very well planted in Zhijie, and I am very pleased!"
"When the corn harvest is complete, I will definitely reward you."
Li Shimin's words made Cheng Yanjin's face smile into a twisted outfit.
"Your Majesty, it is the duty of the last general to share worries and solve problems for Your Majesty."
"What reward is not rewarded, the last will not dare to live up to Your Majesty's love!"
Cheng Biting Jin's words made Li Shimin laugh.
"Zhijie, if all the officials are like you, I will have a lot of peace of mind."
"Leave some potatoes as seeds, plant more this time, and plant all the land."
"Escort the others back to the palace!"
Looking at the mountain-like potatoes in front of him, Li Shimin was really emotional!
At the beginning, it was just a dozen potatoes, but now there are so many harvests.
Guanyin is right, now this mouthful, what is eaten is the people's family, a few days or even a month's rations.
