Chapter 327: Harvest

But as soon as they calmed down, everyone figured it out, since Gaochang Country is full of white stacked flowers, then the white stacked flowers are not worth anything, and a white stacked flower is not worth 10,000 at all, Huatinghou canceled the reward must be because he knew that Gaochang Country is full of white stacked flowers, but why did the emperor send troops to Gaochang Kingdom because of the white background flowers? What is the use of white stacked flowers? It turns out that the white stacked flowers have the effect of keeping warm, the white stacked flowers are very soft, and they are stuffed into the quilt in their clothes, which is as warm as the fur, and the people in Chang'an City were stunned when they heard the news, and the fur fur kept warm? Don't be afraid of the cold anymore in winter? We don't know how warm the fur is! However, it must be very warm, and the white stacked flowers are very easy to plant, in front of the house and behind the house and even in the wasteland can be planted. Is it because of the lack of fur fur at home? Of course not, Hua Tinghou wants to collect the seeds of the white stacked flowers, spread the white stacked flowers, and benefit the people, there are still people talking about it before, thinking that the Hua Ting Hou is too extravagant, and even spent a lot of money to reward the white stacked flowers, and now they feel ashamed, what a mind Hua Tinghou is! Two seasons of rice seeds a year, abundant corn, to today's white stacked flowers, Huating Hou really loves the people like a son! What a great kindness this is, all the people in the world have to thank Huating Hou for his kindness, and they also understand why the emperor is so anxious to send troops to Gaochangguo, and he will have time to sow seeds next spring, it is a pity that there is no chance this winter, I really want to try what it is like to wear the same warm white stacked flowers as fur fur in winter, 30,000 troops went on the expedition, which can only be regarded as a small fight for the Tang Dynasty, but Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and others also left Chang'an one after another and went to the border town to guard, Monitoring the movements of the Western Turks, the most shocked thing in the entire Chang'an was the envoys of various countries in the Sifang Pavilion, there was no news, the Tang Dynasty suddenly used troops against the Gaochang Kingdom, the reason was that the Gaochang Kingdom and the Western Turkic Alliance were in trouble with the Western Regions, and as a subject country, they were disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, for the stability of the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to recruit the Gaochang Kingdom, but the envoys of various countries knew that this was a crime, the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and the envoys of various countries could not help but feel a little heavy in their hearts, and Goguryeo was making Gao Zheng a little heavy in his heart, But he was also keenly aware of who was the promoter of this war? It is Li Yong, the Marquis of Huating, and even after the emperor appointed the candidate for the chief manager, Li Yong recommended the deputy chief manager, which shows Li Yong's influence in front of the emperor and in the court, so Gao Zheng is very pleased and glad that Yuan Gai Suwen can make friends with Li Yong, the Marquis of Huating, fortunately, Gao Zheng covets the white stacked flowers, Goguryeo is located in a bitter cold place, their people in Goguryeo are much more bitter than the Tang Dynasty, they are not full of food and clothing, I don't know how many people die of cold and hunger every year, I heard that the rice seeds found in the Tang Dynasty can be planted two seasons a year, He heard that after that, the hala seeds were about to flow down, and planting two crops a year would not be equivalent to doubling the yield? It's a pity that they Goguryeo can't grow rice, he also heard that corn is abundant, suitable for planting in the north, but he didn't see corn at all, the corn field is guarded by officers and soldiers, there are too many coveted things in the Tang Dynasty, and they are all related to the Huating Hou, the courtyard of the Tubo envoy, Lu Dongzan's expression is solemn, Bai Diehua is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the people, it is natural for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Gaochang for Bai Diehua, in other words, they Tubo, they will also send troops to plunder, because there is a conflict of interests between countries, What made him solemn in his heart was the reaction of the Tang Dynasty, sending 30,000 elite troops to conquer the Gaochang Kingdom, for the Tang Dynasty court, for the people of Chang'an, it was not affected at all, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been so strong, even the people in the market are not afraid of war, but they are full of blood, and they can't wait to join the battlefield with the army, this is what shocks him the most, of course, not all the envoys of the Quartet Pavilion have been shaken, for example, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom are very calm, because they are separated from the Tang Dynasty by thousands of miles of oceans, how can you be strong? Come on, come on, you're going to beat me? Do you have the ability to beat me? There was no fear at all, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom looked at the nervous envoys of various countries in the Sifang Pavilion, they had a feeling of raising their eyebrows We are different, what they don't know is that the combined fleet of Huating Marquis Li Yong is upgrading its equipment and preparing to attack them, an island country that is far away from the ocean. After the army set out, Chang'an City was boiling, because the corn was finally ripe, in fact, the corn had already been ripe, Li Yong had already told Li Shimin that it could be collected, but Li Shimin had confiscated it, Li Ersheng was afraid that the corn was not ripe yet, Li Yong mentioned it twice and was too lazy to mention it again, anyway, the corn had to be dried after it was broken, and it was also dried in the ground, Li Yong was too lazy to care, and now, even the corn stalk has completely withered, and the officials in charge have come to report that the corn is ripe and can be picked, Li Er attaches great importance to it, In fact, the whole Chang'an was a sensation, Li Yong planted a hundred acres of corn, although there was an endless stream of people who went to check it, but it was not much in Chang'an City, but this time it completely shocked Chang'an, not only the people in the Great Wall were sensational, even the people on the outskirts of the city were sensational, because now the reputation of corn is too great, and this time the movement is too big, the emperor took the civil and military officials to collect corn in person, It can be seen that the importance of corn, the autumn is high and cool, but the sun is hot, the autumn tiger, a large area of corn fields is fruitful, but Li Yong pondered that there may be more people than corn, and the black pressure is all human heads, Li Er looked at the corn that was staggering and drooping his head, the corners of his mouth were almost pulled behind the roots of his ears, and he smiled like an old farmer, Wei Zheng's dark and cold face also showed a smile, looking at the corn in this place with a kind smile.

"Good food, good food! Look at this ear is really big enough, look at this corn kernel is really big enough, look at this color, good grain! ”

Li Er snapped off a piece of corn, peeled it off in three or two clicks, touched the big corn with a yellow palm, and laughed.

"Li Yong, let's see if this corn is good?"

Li Yong's face is a little dark, just like you planted it, what is there to be proud of? This is my corn, but is it useful to talk to such a black-hearted emperor?

"Start breaking the corn."

With Li Er's voice, he rolled up his sleeves and entered the corn and began to break the corn, even the emperor did it himself, who still stood by and watched? As a result, one by one, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government wore court clothes, rolled up their sleeves and entered the cornfield. After the emperor personally went to the ground to break the corn, the farmers of Huangjia Village, who had been prepared for a long time, also began to break the corn, and soon, a bag of corn was carried out, which caused a burst of amazement, and the old people's eyes were about to pop out, they lived to the age of almost entering the soil, and it was the first time they saw such a big ear of rice and such a big grain of rice! How much grain does this acre of land produce? I'm so excited, one by one the old people are holding the corn like a convulsion, Li Yong is very worried after seeing it on the side, but don't be too excited to really smoke it, good food, really good food, go back and let the farmers in the Zhuangzi plant corn, whoever doesn't plant it is a fool, this is the voice of all the old people, when Li Er came out of the corn field sweating profusely, the corn outside had been piled up, although it was very hot and tired, and it was itchy by the corn thorns, but Li Er still couldn't help laughing, Because this is the joy of a bumper harvest, not just the joy of a bumper harvest in this land, he seems to have seen a bumper harvest of countless corn fields next year, next year, it is of great significance to Datang, because next year the rice and corn seeds will be sent together, there will definitely be a bumper harvest, Li Yong pretended to get out of the cornfield, compared to Li Tai and others sweating embarrassed, Li Yong is still in the wind, Li Er glanced at Li Yong, but he did not blame, today, no one is qualified to blame Li Yong, because Li Yong has made great contributions, Li Yong did everything possible to get these grains back.

"Corn is a treasure given by God! What good food! ”

Li Er said with heartfelt emotion, Wei Zheng held a few huge corns and said excitedly.

"The yield of corn is so great that with corn, people don't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

"Put them all into the car and transport them to the grain depot, be cautious, no one is missing, and they will be kept for grain next year."

Li Er commanded, Li Yong rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

"Sage, the minister thinks it's better to let people carry it one by one."

Li Er asked suspiciously.

"Oh? Could it be that corn is a grain that likes to be carried by people and does not like to ride in a carriage? ”

Li Yong was speechless when he heard it, does this sound like words?

"What the minister means is that the selection can make the people understand corn more intuitively, and when corn is promoted next year, the resistance will be smaller, and maybe everyone will actively plant."

Li Yong explained, and Wei Zheng replied after listening to it.

"What Li Yong said makes sense, although the sages and ministers all think that corn is a grain with a high yield, but the people who have not seen it are afraid that they will be suspicious of it based on rumors."

Li Er nodded and said after hearing this.

"Makes sense!"

So there were soldiers carrying heavy burdens on the road, and the burden was yellow corn, which became a wonder in Chang'an, and the people on the side of the road were all surprised to grow their mouths.

"It's huge!" That's too big, right? ”

"I've never seen anything this big!"

"Is this the legendary corn?"

"That's a lot of rice!"

"Oh my God, there are such big ears of rice in the world!"

"It's not just big, it's yellow!"

"Yes, it's so yellow, it's so tempting to look at!"

Hearing it a thousand times or 10,000 times is not as convincing as seeing it with your own eyes, seeing corn with your own eyes, whoever is conquered, believing in your heart that this is a good crop, what kind of thing? Is corn good, you ask? Even the emperor and queen love to eat but are reluctant to eat, the emperor is heavily guarded, and the Marquis of Huating can't help but secretly pick corn to eat, but the emperor is chasing the palace with a musket, you say the corn is not delicious? Even if the corn is not delicious, as long as it can fill the stomach, for the poor people, it is already the happiest thing to be able to fill the stomach, and the envoys of various countries are crowded in the crowd to see the true face of the corn, and want to see if the corn is really as abundant as the legend, seeing the soldiers carrying the corn through, Princess Zhenzhu's small mouth opened slightly and was directly stunned, muttering.

"It's huge! How can it be so big? Is it still rice? How can there be such a big rice? It's so good-looking, it looks so delicious! Anyway, can I buy some corn? ”

However, Lu Dongzan didn't have time to deal with her at all, because he was also in shock, although he also knew that since the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers attached so much importance to it, corn must have a higher yield than millet sorghum, but he didn't expect such a high yield, how could there be rice with such a big ear of rice in the world? This God is too partial, isn't he? I don't know if they can plant corn in Tibet, Zhenguan rice can become two seasons a year in the south, and now there is such a bumper grain seed as corn in the north, and Datang is no longer afraid of lack of grain in the future, for Datang, this is a good thing, but for the countries around Datang, this is simply a bolt from the blue, Goguryeo is making Gao Zheng look at the load of corn and shocked, he has always wanted to know what corn is like, and now he finally saw it, but found that corn is far beyond his imagination, at this moment, his heart is full of desireIf their people in Goguryeo also planted corn, how many fewer people would starve to death? Gao Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his gaze to Yuangai Suwen next to him, and asked.

"Su Wen, what do you think when you see this corn?"

Yuan Gai Suwen replied lightly.

"It is indeed a good grain with a good yield!"

Gao Zheng asked in a low voice.

"Su Wen, with such a rich grain harvest, don't you have any ideas?"

Yuangai Suwen asked in a deep voice.

"Could it be that Lord Gao wants to rob it?"

Rob? Gao Zheng was directly sluggish, and the cold sweat at noon came out, why don't you want to die? Thanks to the small voice just now, if it was louder, maybe everyone would have fallen to the ground by this time, Gao Zheng really wanted to block Yuan Gai Suwen's mouth at once, and whispered eagerly.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's going to be fatal, you think, who gave the corn? Huating Hou Li Yong! You and Huatinghou have an extraordinary relationship, maybe you can get corn seeds from Huatinghou, our Goguryeo is bitter cold, and there has always been a shortage of grain, if we can bring the corn grain back to Goguryeo, the king will definitely reward us, and the poems and books will definitely praise us, this is a great achievement, even if thousands of years later, there will be people to thank us, don't believe you look at Li Yong's status in the Tang Dynasty? ”

Gao Zheng tried hard to lower his voice and said, I have to say that what Gao Zheng said is very reasonable, corn will spread in the Tang Dynasty, and it will definitely spread to Goguryeo in a few years, but, at that time, the merit will have nothing to do with them, but now bring the corn seeds back to Goguryeo, they will definitely be rewarded by the king, and they will be praised by the government and the opposition, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, this is an excellent opportunity, Yuan Gai Suwen nodded and said.

"Lord Gao is right, not for our fame and fortune, I will also work hard for our people of Goguryeo to no longer starve, even if I beg hard, I will ask for corn seeds!"
