Chapter 65: On the Field of Hope

Because the hall just now, it was too noisy and lively.

The sound of the horse's hooves of the messengers was not heard by anyone.

"Your Majesty, Niu Junda, the general of the Right Martial Guard, escorted 10,000 stone of grain, has arrived ten miles outside Chang'an City!"

"Good!"

There is nothing more than this news that makes Li Shimin happy.

Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, Eldest Sun Wuji and others also showed happy smiles.

"Xuanling, Keming, auxiliary, there is no problem with the granary, right?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the granary has been repaired last month, and the ministers and others have gone to investigate and store grain, and there is no problem."

Fang Xiang Du Xiang and the eldest grandson Wuji, Qi Qi Shili said.

Li Shimin led Fang Xiang Du Xiang and the eldest grandson Wuji and others to personally go out of the city to greet the returning soldiers!

I saw the black and thin Niu Junda, as well as the bloodshot eyes of the soldiers.

Li Shimin couldn't help but have his eyes flushed.

"Soldiers, it's been a hard journey."

"I, I will definitely not treat you badly, take a few days of rest, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds, and make a big celebration wine!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices echoed outside Chang'an City for a long time.

Woohoo, woohoo......

In the manor, four puppies ran to the door, barking in the southeast direction.

Li Gen put down the book in his hand.

Just now he also vaguely heard, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's voice.

Li Gen thought that he had been reading for a long time and his ears were ringing.

Looking at the performance of the four little ones now, it is not an illusion caused by their own tinnitus.

"Zhao Si, Feng Wu, what's going on outside?"

Before Li Gen reached the door, he saw Zhao Si and Feng Wu, who were already looking at the door.

"Young master, it's far away from us, so we can't see it at all."

Li Gen walked to the door and looked up.

An open field in front of it was blocked by the houses of the people of Waiguo City in the distance.

At the very least, there is no movement as far as the eye can see.

"Let's go, come home with me!"

Li Gen beckoned.

The four puppies shook their heads and followed behind Li Gen.

From time to time, I roll around and sell a cute.

It made Li Gen's mood very happy.

Such joy cannot be bought by spending no amount of money.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu did as Li Gen ordered.

Six ploughing cattle were purchased in a few days.

After sending the ploughing cattle to the government to report, Zhao Si took them to the manor.

Li Gen also knows the importance of ploughing cattle nowadays.

The cultivated cattle that were bought, Li Gen told his subordinates to take good care of them.

Raise them for a few days to let them recover their strength.

Finally waited for a suitable weather.

The south wind blew for a whole day and night, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.

Li Gen hurriedly let people with light, light, black, dark, gold, silver, wealth, treasure and others quickly put down the work in their hands.

Immediately take the ploughing ox and plow the field!

Li Yuan watched from the sidelines, and Li Gen called out to everyone.

Regarding the names that Li Gen gave these people, Li Yuan really sighed to himself!

The names of these servants are nice to listen to and easy to remember, and in addition to the black and dark, the names of other people have a very good meaning.

If you want to plough all the more than 1,000 acres of land, it will take at least two months for the current six ploughing cattle.

Li Gen let there be light and light, and led the people to start plowing the land near the river.

Li Gen has already made a rough calculation.

The distance between the north and south of the manor is much longer than the distance between east and west.

In other words, the area of land near the river is relatively large.

From the shore to the vicinity of the dwelling, there are four or five hundred acres of land.

For other empty land, Li Gen has other plans.

Chicken coops, sheep coops, pig coops, duck coops, and all the creatures in the manor must be kept in captivity for a period of time.

Otherwise, the species that you planted yourself.

Make sure they clean it up.

Under Li Gen's orders, all the creatures in the manor were kept in captivity.

On the second day, it was the valley rain in the 24 solar terms.

A light rain began to fall in the sky.

Spring rain is as precious as oil, and there is no white flow in every drop.

Outside Chang'an City, there are people everywhere sowing seeds.

Inside the manor.

Li Gen also took action.

More than a dozen maids were also summoned by Li Gen.

Some of the maids were added later, but after a period of observation.

Li Gen thinks that they are all reliable people.

"Grandson, what is this?"

Li Yuan saw Li Gen leading the maids to move out many green branches and leaves from a greenhouse.

Li Yuan's eyes widened and he asked curiously.

"Grandpa, this is a sweet potato, and my grandson has been preparing for it for a long time."

"Can you eat it?"

After listening to his grandfather's inquiry, Li Gen couldn't cry or laugh.

Since my grandfather came to the manor, he has obviously gained weight.

I'm still thinking about eating.

"Grandpa, not only can you eat it, but it's also very sweet and delicious."

"Even these leaves are edible, but they can't be eaten now, let them take root in the field first!"

When Li Yuan heard this, he became even more curious.

He hadn't seen this species before!

I can even eat the leaves.

"Big grandson, what's the name of this species? What is the yield? ”

"Grandpa, this is called sweet potato, and the yield is generally more than thirty stones!"

Li Gen's voice landed.

Li Yuan stumbled and sat directly on the ground.

was so frightened that Li Gen hurriedly helped his grandfather up.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Li Gen was well-behaved and patted the dust on his grandfather's body.

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched.

It's no wonder that Lao Tzu is fine.

Thirty stones per mu is a rhythm that scares people to death.

Even if Li Shimin heard it, he absolutely fell hard.

"Eldest grandson, grandpa is fine, tell grandpa about it, this species, sweet potato, can really produce thirty stones per mu?"

"Hmm!"

Li Gen nodded solemnly.

In fact, he is already a conservative estimate.

If it is properly managed, the output will definitely jump up!

"Eldest grandson, can this sweet potato be eaten as rice?"

This is the issue that Li Yuan is most concerned about.

The yield is so high, if it can still be used as a staple food, it is for the people of Datang.

It's just auspicious!

"Grandpa, it can naturally be eaten as a meal, or as a staple food, and it is very anti-hunger."

"However, if you eat it every day, it is not good for the stomach and intestines after a long time, as long as it is eaten with food, there is no problem at all."

When Li Yuan heard this, he completely came to his senses.

Despite Leegen's strenuous dissuasion.

Li Yuan still did not hesitate to join the ranks of laborers.

Li Gen held hands and taught everyone how to plant seedlings.

Including the distance between rows and the distance between plants.

are introduced in detail.

As for the planting method of the later generations, the seedlings will be planted first.

It is very inappropriate at the moment.

Not just because of the soil, but also because of the impending drought.

If it is planted from the hill.

Even though it was near the river, Li Gen knew that there would never be a good harvest.

The freshly ploughed land is very soft.

After inserting the cultivated sweet potato seedlings.

Pile up a small circle around its roots.

Then scoop a scoop of water and pour the water into the circle.

Everyone works together and works together!

Before lunch, more than three acres of land were planted.

Li Gen looked at the green sweet potato seedlings, connected into a piece!

A sweet smile on his face!
