This is his prince!

Like him Li Shimin, he has a heart for the world!

"Chu Mo, what do you mean by Gen'er, this sweet potato can still be planted now?"

Li Shimin asked excitedly.

"Your Majesty, when I went, His Royal Highness had already started to raise seedlings, and he said that in half a month, His Majesty could send someone to pick up the first batch of sweet potato seedlings."

"He also asked me to go to Jingyang and send sweet potato seedlings to His Majesty."

Cheng Chumo glanced at Li Shimin and said in a low voice.

Li Shimin's eyes were red, and he naturally knew why Li Gen sent sweet potato seedlings to Jingyang.

"Chu Mo, I will write a letter to you, and you will send it to the manor in a few days."

Cheng Chu nodded silently and agreed.

"How can this sweet potato resist drought and reach the locust plague? Did Gen'er ever say that? ”

"Your Majesty, Your Highness said that after the sweet potato seedlings are planted now, you only need to water a little water on each plant, and when the locust plague comes, the sweet potato seedlings will also be spread."

"Because of the large area of sweet potato seedlings, locusts are easy for people to hunt and kill, even if the locusts eat the sweet potato seedlings cleanly, His Highness said that it can also regenerate from the roots, without affecting the growth and maturity of sweet potatoes!"

Ranwen

"Okay, it's really heaven for me!"

Li Shimin stood up excitedly.

"Your Majesty, it's obvious that Your Highness is helping you."

Cheng Chumo's words made Li Shimin smile and nodded.

"Chu Mo's words are reasonable, this time I went to the manor and made a great contribution, and I will definitely reward you again in the future."

Cheng bit Jin and Cheng Chumo, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Again?

Isn't it interesting to draw flatbread every day!

"Chu Mo, have you brought some sweet potatoes back for me?"

Li Shimin finally showed his true face, and looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have brought you most of the carriage!"

"Oh, where is it now?"

"It's just outside the study."

Cheng Chumo's voice landed, and Li Shimin had already walked towards the outside of the imperial study.

In the carriage, there was indeed half a carriage of sweet potatoes.

Cheng of the dog day bit gold, and the other half must have been swallowed by him.

However, Li Shimin has no reason to be really angry, after all, this cart of sweet potatoes was given to Chu Mo by Gen'er.

"Chu Mo, how to eat this sweet potato?"

"Your Majesty, it is sweet and crispy to eat raw, the cooked food is soft and glutinous and sweet, and the taste has a long aftertaste, which makes people unforgettable for a long time!"

Cheng Chumo chewed the words, which made Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin both impressed.

"Zhijie, see if you see it, Chu Mo is with Gen'er, and his speech is getting more and more level. It's all influenced by the roots! ”

Received His Majesty's praise, Cheng went to wash the sweet potatoes in silence.

"Your Majesty, you have a taste!"

Chu Mo picked one, the largest and smoothest, and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it with a smile, opened his mouth and bit it, crunch!

"Hey, it's so sweet, it's delicious."

It's hard to imagine that such a delicious food can be produced in such a high volume.

"Your Majesty, this cooked food is called a sweet to the heart."

"Oh, come on, immediately send the sweet potatoes to the imperial dining room, have lunch today, tell the palace concubines, princes and princesses, all come to the Lizheng Palace for dinner!"

"Chu Mo, go get some sweet potatoes again."

Li Shimin thought of Guanyin, as well as Gao Ming and Qingque, and left a few students for them to taste first.

Li Shimin took Cheng Biting Jin and his son to the Imperial Garden.

Chu Mo explained in detail the method of harvesting.

And he also practiced it and demonstrated it with his own hands.

"Stop, don't unplug it."

Li Shimin saw Cheng Chumo bending over and pouting, stretched out his hand to grab the root of the sweet potato seedling, and immediately opened his mouth to stop it.

Li Shimin will definitely pull out the first plant of this thing with his own hands.

"Zhijie, tomorrow morning, you bring a basket of sweet potatoes to the court."

"That's all you need to do then......"

Li Shimin explained it in person, and Cheng Yanjin naturally agreed.

Watching Cheng Biting Jin's father and son leave, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth curved a little.

Look down at the five sweet potato seedlings in this imperial garden.

Tomorrow has come, and it's time for them to come out.

Drought, locust plague.

Sweet potatoes are not afraid!

Make a life for the people!

Grow all sweet potatoes into seedlings and dedicate them to Your Majesty!

echoed in my mind, what Li Gen said brought by Cheng Chumo.

Li Shimin was in the spirit of dragon and tiger, picked up the sweet potatoes left behind, and strode towards the Lizheng Palace.

"Guanyin, what do you think of this?"

Li Shimin walked into the Legislative Hall with a smile on his face.

The eldest grandson queen is so smart, and she instantly thought that a few days ago, Li Shimin said that he had sent Chu Mo to the manor to investigate the sweet potato harvest.

"Erlang, looking at your happy appearance, could it be that this is a sweet potato?"

"Guanyin is really smart, this thing is sweet potato, come, how about you taste it?"

Li Shimin picked a large piece of the washed sweet potato and handed it to his queen.

"Erlang, it's so big, the concubines can't eat it, the small one is fine, and the big one is reserved for Gao Ming and Qingque."

"Hmm."

Li Shimin knew that she was distressed about the two princes, so he handed it over to a small one.

As soon as the sweet potato was eaten, Empress Eldest Sun's eyes lit up.

"It's so sweet, as crisp and sweet as fruit."

Li Shimin smiled and looked at Guanyin, and finished eating a sweet potato.

The two sat opposite each other, and after they began to enter the manor from the place, they began to talk!

When she heard that this thing yielded more than forty stones per mu, Empress Eldest Sun burst into tears of excitement.

"Guanyin, I didn't expect that this thing would be the answer to the imperial examination for the people."

"The sweet potatoes in the manor have been harvested, and when Chu Mo goes, the roots have already begun to raise seedlings, and he wants to dedicate all the sweet potato seedlings to me, so that the people of Guanlong can survive the drought and locust plague this year and next year."

When Li Shimin said this, his eyes were hot, and the eldest grandson and queen wept with joy.

"Erlang, Gen'er is really a good boy, isn't this sweet potato drought-tolerant, and not afraid of locust plague?"

Li Shimin nodded solemnly and said.

"It is drought tolerant, and it is not afraid of locust plague, even if the people hunt and kill unclean locusts, and the locusts eat this sweet potato seedling, it can still regenerate from the roots, which can be described as a natural locust resistant species!"

Call!

Empress Changsun stood up excitedly and threw herself directly into Li Shimin's arms.

"Erlang, not only can we survive the two years of famine, but the people can finally fill their stomachs......"

"Erlang, not only do we have to thank Gen'er, but the people of the world also have to thank him......"

Li Shimin hugged Guanyin tightly, and what Guanyin said was exactly what Li Shimin thought in his heart!

A sweet smell began to waft over the palace.

The palace concubines and many princes and princesses moved to the palace together.

When the palace maid and the chamberlain send the steamed sweet potatoes.

As soon as Li Shimin gave the order, the Lizheng Palace opened the mode of eating sweet potatoes.

The soft and glutinous sweet taste makes everyone happy.

All the sweet potatoes have been wiped out, and not even a drop of dregs remains!

This is a half-carriage of sweet potatoes!

Li Shimin raised his head and sighed!

I deeply understand a truth!

My harem is full of rice buckets. With the Chang'an County Ya and Wannian County Ya, the morning bell rang!

The officials began one after another, embarking on the road to the Taiji Palace.

In the Hall of Virtue.

Li Shimin is sitting in a precarious position, wearing a dragon robe, showing the spirit of an overlord!

"Xuan Ling, Keming. Will the officials be able to get there? ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Fang Xiang Du Xiang began to look behind him one by one.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Su Guogong is temporarily the upper court!"

"Oh, it's this Cheng biting gold again? Cheng's Mansion is very close to the palace, why is he late every time? Without the right reason, I will not spare him this time! ”

Li Shimin's words made the hearts of the hundred officials tighten, and it seems that His Majesty is not in a very good mood today.

I don't know that the concubine didn't serve His Majesty well last night!

Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao prayed in their hearts.

Lao Cheng, old Cheng, you run, don't be late again!

Fang Xiang and Du Xiang just wanted to open their mouths to intercede for Cheng Yanjin.

Seeing His Majesty's gloomy face, the two looked at each other and remained silent.

At this time, Cheng bit the golden hand and carried the bamboo basket, humming a little song leisurely, and stepped on the steps outside the Xiande Palace.

The Xiande Hall was quiet at this time, and Cheng Biting Jin's little song was clearly heard by everyone.

There are also five steps to step into the Hall of Virtue.

Cheng Bingjin paused the song and straightened the crown above his head.

With his head held high, he appeared outside the door of the Hall of Virtue.

Hey!

Some of the officials looked back and directly stopped Bengbu.

Is this trip to the market to buy vegetables?

He also carried a bamboo basket into the hall.

This is the Hall of Xiande, the palace of the Tang Dynasty.

How can you be allowed to carry a bamboo basket to buy groceries!

Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back, looking at Cheng Yanjin's appearance, if it weren't for the official uniform and crown, he would look like a common man who went to the market to buy vegetables.

However, Li Shimin can't laugh!

His face was grim, and his eyes were cold.

Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao looked at His Majesty's posture.

Good guy, Cheng Biting Jin, you will ask for more blessings!

"Zhijie, do you know what is wrong?"

Li Shimin scolded sharply!

"Your Majesty, you listen to the minister's explanation slowly."

Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Shimin was angry, and immediately bowed down and said.

"Explain? Or is it like last time, I got up early in the morning again, and then went to the street to get out, only to see the women of Pingkangfang go out collectively, and this time I simply bought some food? ”

"Are you doing this both business and private affairs? You can go back to your house and wait for dinner. ”

Li Shimin's analysis was reasonable, which made the generals nod their heads.

High, really high.

His Majesty's analysis is as if he has seen it with his own eyes.

"Your Majesty, you really misunderstood me, I don't have vegetables in this bamboo basket?"

"This is an excellent high-yielding species for drought relief and locust plague!"

As soon as Cheng Biting Jin's words came out, the Hall of Xiande was full of surprise!

Wei Chigong and Qin Shubao, both of them shook their heads, they felt that Cheng Biting Jin's head was definitely kicked by the cow.

Otherwise, it won't be full of gibberish.

Also drought relief, an excellent high-yielding species to fight locust plagues?

Suddenly, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao both remembered something.

The two of them stared wide-eyed at the basket in Cheng Yanjin's hand.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Biting Jin like a fool.

"Zhijie, do you know what you're talking about? Now that the drought is so severe, the land of Guanlong is thousands of miles away, so I have to ask the local government to order all the autumn planting to be suspended, I am worried that if it is planted, the people will not even be able to get the seeds back! ”

Li Shimin's words were excited, and something crystal flickered in his eyes.

The ministers were also silent.

This year's severe drought is really the only one in my life.

"Your Majesty, what Zhijie said is true, this is brought back by Chu Mo early this morning, and Chu Mo's words are chiseled, and I saw with my own eyes that this thing yields forty stones per mu."

"The Marquis of Lantian told Chu Mo to transfer this thing to His Majesty, and frankly said that this thing is a thing that makes a life for the people!"

Call!

Cheng Biting Jin's voice landed.

The entire Xiande Hall can be heard falling needles!

Lantian Hou?

It's Lantian Hou again!

Fang Xiang Du Xiang was all smiling.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, also smiled and stroked his beard.

Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou's hearts thumped with excitement.

The corners of the eldest grandson Wuji's mouth twitched, and his heart turned into turbulent waves.

"Zhijie, quickly present it to me."

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and stood up directly from the dragon chair.

Li Shimin picked up a huge sweet potato.

The ministers looked at this species as thick as an arm and as big as a palm, and opened their mouths in surprise one by one.

"Zhijie, Lantian Hou Ke said, what is this thing? How to eat? ”

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and saw that everyone was shocked, and his heart was very comfortable.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Lantian Hou named sweet potato for this thing, which means that it is red and prosperous, and it means to see the dawn."

Hey, Li Shimin looked at Cheng Biting Jin with a pair of incredible eyes.

This guy has something in his stomach! This sentence was not given to him by Li Shimin.

"Well, it's booming, and it's dawning again! I am very relieved, I am very relieved! ”

"Your Majesty, this thing is sweet and delicious when eaten, soft and sweet in cooked food, it is really a rare delicacy in the world!"

Listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

There are quite a few civil and military officials, and they have begun to speak with gusto.

After all, they were all hungry all night and had just gotten up.

"Come on, send these sweet potatoes to the imperial dining room, cut them all into pieces, and let Zhongqing taste them."

"Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

The Hall of Virtue chanted.

Everyone's hearts are at ease!

At the very least, I didn't run in vain this morning.

It is also a great pleasure to be able to feast on it.

Soon, a row of palace maids carried trays and slowly entered the Hall of Virtue.

"Zhongqing, raise the sweet potato in your hand and taste it with me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qunchen has a piece of sweet potato, although the size is different, the gap is not very large, after all, it is all cut into pieces.

"Sweet, so sweet!"

"Crispy, so crispy!"

"Well, not bad, sweet and crunchy!"

As soon as the sweet potato was eaten, the ministers began to talk about it.

"It's really good, I also think this thing is very delicious, but with the yield of forty stones per mu, I can't believe it anyway!"

Li Shimin's voice landed, and the ministers also began to discuss.

Not to mention that the yield per mu is forty stones, even if it is four stones per mu, it is enough to make people happy.

Li Shimin listened to the discussion of the ministers, and his heart became more and more comfortable.

You should be suspicious, and I will show you a good show later!

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin, and it was time for him to come forward to answer.

This guy is still nibbling on sweet potatoes.

Seeing Li Shimin's gaze coming straight to him, Cheng Yanjin said out of class.

"Your Majesty, whether the production is true or not, you can find out now!"

"Where do you say that?"

"Are you going to let me go to Lantian Hou to take a look?"

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

"Don't work hard Your Majesty, in fact, there is something in this palace."

Cheng Biting Jin's words made Li Shimin stunned!

The ministers were even more stunned in an instant!

This trip to bite gold, why did your brain twitch today?

Many people seriously suspect that Cheng Yanjin should go to Yankangfang to have a look.

"Your Majesty, it's hard for you to forget that more than three months ago, Chu Mo brought you five sweet potato seedlings?"

Li Shimin looked suddenly enlightened.

"Zhijie, do you mean that the five green seedlings brought by Chu Mo are sweet potato seedlings?"

Li Shimin's stunned expression made Cheng Yanjin have to admire, this damn thing, pretending to be really wanting!

"Well, those five plants are, at that time, Chu Mo first met Lantian Hou, and the two hit it off at first sight and talked happily. Lantian Hou invited Chu Mo to the mansion as a guest, and Chu Mo was very surprised to see the green sweet potato seedlings. Lantian Hou said that this was something he got by chance, and tried to plant it to survive, but that day His Majesty saw the father and son of Zhijie, and you saw that the sweet potato seedlings in Chu Mo's hands were very fresh, so he let Chu Mo plant them in the imperial garden. ”

I have to say that Cheng Biting Jin's big fool cooperates with Li Shimin's super big fool.

As soon as the two sing and harmonize, the dead can flicker and live.

No, even Fang Xiang Du Xiang and others were stunned by the two of them.

Not to mention those civil and military officials who don't know about it.

"Zhijie, what you said, I really remembered, there is indeed such a thing!"

"Yes, let Chu Mo plant in the Imperial Garden, I don't know if I survived?"

"Your Majesty, then hurry up and take a look, if you survive, what is the output? Isn't it clear at a glance? ”

Listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

"Zhongqing, follow me to the Imperial Garden."

Li Shimin took the lead and walked outside the Xiande Hall in high spirits.

Naturally, civil and military officials followed closely.

Imperial!

Five sweet potato seedlings lie quietly on the ground, vines crawl all around, and the green leaves show their vitality and vitality.

Li Shimin squatted in steps, took a deep breath, and reached out to grab the root.

Driven by both arms, twisting the waist and sending the joint force, the whole sweet potato plant broke through the soil directly!

Call!

Call!

Call!

Everyone was stunned.

What did the crowd see?

The sweet potato seedling roots in Li Shimin's hand are densely packed with seven or eight sweet potatoes connected together.

Some of them are as big as a slap, some are as thick as a calf, and some are as long as a fast child!

Oh my God!

Seeing is believing, hearing is false!

When the facts are in their eyes, everyone still can't believe their eyes.

Even Li Shimin himself was taken aback.

He didn't expect that there would be so many sweet potato fruits.

The sweet potato in his hand is heavy, and Li Shimin's heart is not full of joy.

"Your Majesty, there are still here, and there are more!"

Wei Zheng rushed directly to the pit that Li Shimin had just pulled out.

Because a piece of sweet potato had already exposed its head, when everyone was staring at the sweet potato in Li Shimin's hand in shock, only Wei Zheng observed the situation in the mud pit.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Wei Zheng.

I saw Wei Zheng lying on the ground, pulling hard with both hands.

A sweet potato was pulled out by him.

Two sweet potatoes were pulled out by him.

Wei Zheng was crazy again, his hands were covered with mud, even his official uniform was dirty, and his crown fell to the ground, and he didn't care about it.

With this appearance, if other officials are seen by Wei Zheng, they will properly refer to you.

"There is another, Your Majesty, and another...... Make a life for the people! Make a life for the people! What a life for the people......"

Wei Zheng held a large and small three sweet potatoes in his hand, sat slumped on the ground, and sobbed.

Many officials were in tears.

Tears are naturally those officials who suffered when they were children and were once hungry.

"Your Majesty, how good it would be if this sweet potato was born early, and my Weichi family would not starve to death so many people!"

Chi Gong, the iron-beaten man, even cried sadly.

For a moment, the Imperial Garden was full of sighs.

Li Shimin didn't expect that there would be such a scene.

At this scene, Li Shimin's eyes were also red.

He can understand the feelings of those who come from poor families.

"Zhongqing, don't be sad, seeing you like this, I am also very sad in my heart, the past has passed, now we must look forward."

"Now, the drought is a foregone conclusion, the locust plague is coming, I and the other secretaries are in their hearts, they are all worried about the people, let's look at this sweet potato today, what is the yield?"

Li Shimin said. It's really morale-boosting.

Li Shimin pulled up a sweet potato seedling again.

Call!

The ministers were still staring at each other.

Because the yield of this sweet potato plant is comparable to the one just now!

Five sweet potato seedlings in succession were all uprooted by Li Shimin!

Wei Zheng gained something in the mud pit again.

The yield of five sweet potato seedlings will be filled with the bamboo basket in Cheng Biting Jin's hand.

"Your Majesty, this thing yields forty stones per mu, it is definitely not a lie!"

Fang Xuanling said respectfully.

The ministers also had to nod their heads in agreement at this time.

Because the facts are there, the sweet potatoes harvested in this bamboo basket are the best answer.

"Come, take all these sweet potatoes to the imperial dining room, clean them, and send them to the Hall of Virtue, I want to celebrate the joy of this harvest with the secretaries!"

Li Shimin gave an order, waved his sleeves, and moved to the Hall of Virtue.

Wei Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it after all.

Since the Marquis of Lantian was raising seedlings, Wei Zheng also decided not to stop His Majesty's wasteful behavior.

The ministers followed Li Shimin into the Hall of Virtue, and the sweet potatoes cut in the imperial dining room were also delivered.

The ministers once again rattled and feasted.

The Xiande Hall was instantly filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

"Zhijie, you just said that Lantian Hou is raising seedlings, and all the sweet potato seedlings raised are dedicated to me, I am very relieved and very happy, and I am very happy to make a life for the people! Lantian Hou did it! ”

"I ask you, even if this sweet potato is drought-resistant and drought-tolerant, there will be a locust plague after the drought, aren't the sweet potato seedlings afraid of locust plague?"

Listening to Li Shimin's words, the ministers all nodded in agreement.

As we all know, locust plagues are more terrible than droughts, and they are even more harmful.

The drought has helped people save some of their crops.

This year, because His Majesty made timely preparations and made preparations for drought prevention in advance, there is not much difference between the people's harvest and the good situation of good weather and good weather.

The locust plague is different, and everywhere the locust swarm passes, it is shockingly bare!

Even the book cover can be eaten clean, not to mention the crops!

"Back to Your Majesty's words, according to what Lantian Hou said, locust plague? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"

Cheng Biting Jin's words shocked everyone in the Xiande Hall in an instant!
