Li Shimin picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, it felt very good to eat fresh grapes, and he bowed his head and said: "How many people know about the grapes grown in Lishan?" ”

Wang Gonggong stood aside and replied: "The grape trellis is at the entrance of the village, and many people know about the fact that grapes have been planted in Lishan." ”

Seeing that His Majesty was silent and did not speak, the prince said again: "It is said that Lishan is still planting other crops, and there are many melons and fruits that I don't know what is happening now." ”

After speaking, he smiled and bowed his head, waiting for His Majesty's reaction.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at the grapes in the bowl, and was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Tell Yan Liben and let him allocate manpower to build an official residence for Taifu Temple." ”

"Whoa."

The prince bowed down and departed to preach his will.

The emperor was an ambitious man, and many things became different in front of the Heavenly Khan, and the grapes were just grapes.

The original intention of Taifu Temple was to hope that grapes could become a fruit that ordinary people could afford, and it was no longer a special case that only the powerful and princes could afford to eat.

After the Khan saw the grapes, he immediately summoned Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and others to discuss.

Unlike Taifu Temple, the emperor saw the grapes, and this matter had something to do with the attitude of the court.

If the Central Plains had its own grapes and grapes, the value of the Western Regions would be reduced.

The fruits of Guanzhong are no longer restricted by the Western Regions, and the value of the grapes and grapes from the Western Regions is not so great.

Tian Khan needs to think carefully about the relationship between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty, and the future tribute should be different.

And Zhang Yang, who is in Lishan, doesn't know what kind of turmoil has been set off in the DPRK because of such a fruit.

Now Taifu Temple is still working hard for the freedom of fruits and vegetables in the Tang Dynasty and striving for the diversity of crops in the Central Plains.

For Zhang Yang, this is an errand and he will not feel tired for the rest of his life.

Let grapes, courgettes and other crops become fruits that ordinary people can afford, and the nutrition that people need is inseparable from fruits, which is the common goal of Shangguanyi and Zhang Yang.

The two stood under the grape trellis, and Shangguan Yi looked up at the small grapes, "These grapes are still not enough to eat, they should be more varied." ”

Giving the emperor a bowl of grapes, the people in the village couldn't bear to eat it, and now there are not many grapes that can be grown, and there are not many more to pick.

Zhang Yang took a knife and grafted the grapes, it is best to graft the grapes around June, pick up the main stem of the grafting, check the rootstock on the flatter side and cut it from the middle, and then insert three or two spikes to graft it to the thicker branches.

To study crops, you need to understand how they are cultivated, and grafting can increase the yield of crops, and by August and September, you should still be able to produce a lot of grapes.

This is Zhang Yang's first attempt at grafting, and he will not succeed, so he will try it for the time being, avoiding the rainy season, and I hope that these days are sunny.

Zhang Yang fixed the grafted shoots with hemp skin, and carefully checked to confirm that there was no problem before reassuring.

"What we are doing now is just trying, and in the future, when our cultivation technology matures, we can promote it."

Zhang Yang walked out of the grape trellis and instructed: "Those dry bones are crushed and spread in the ground, and covered with another layer of spring cement." ”

Shangguan Yi nodded, "Let's arrange it." ”

Grapes are not easy to grow, mainly because they need too much light and the fertility of the soil.

The sweetness of the grapes grown in the Western Turks is also due to the fact that at this time, the sun is abundant in the Western Turks, and it is already night in the Central Plains, and it is still daytime and sunshine in the northwest of the Western Turks.

The geographical location determines the advantages of growing fruits in the Western Turks, with large latitudes, many sunny days, and strong sunshine, which gives unique conditions.

In the Central Plains, there are naturally no such good conditions, so we can only work cultivation and cultivate grapes suitable for planting in the soil of Guanzhong.

Zhang Yang returned to the mountain with a bowl of grapes, and watched his daughter-in-law still knitting cloth shoes for the child who was about to be born, and put down the bowl of grapes.

Then he snatched the half-sewn shoes in her hand with one hand, "When the child is born, it's not time to wear shoes, eat some grapes." ”

Li Yue glared at first with dissatisfaction, picked up a grape with her slender fingers and put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully, "Fresh grapes do taste better than raisins." ”

Cleaning up the needlework on the table for him, Zhang Yang said patiently: "Raisins are sweeter." ”

"I still like to grow it at home." She squinted and smiled as she ate the grapes, "In the future, if we want to eat grapes in the Central Plains, we don't need to see if the people from the Western Regions will send them." ”

Zhang Yang took the thread off the needle and asked in a low voice, "Is it still hard to look at the needle and thread now?" ”

Li Yue nodded slightly, "Well, it's not easy to see clearly, it's still Dongyang who helped me." ”

"You've been reading for a long time."

"Then I don't read anymore, will it be better?"

Zhang Yang looked at her and put away her smile, and a pair of eyes blinked, "I'll go do an eyesight test form." ”

"What's that?"

"A way to measure my eyesight, let me see if it's serious."

Li Yue lay down with his eyes closed, his head up, and relaxed his eyes.

Zhang Yang said again: "You have been reading books and reading accounts recently, and you are a little close to the scrolls, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself." ”

Aunt Wang on the side said, "Many elderly courtiers in the court don't have very good eyes, and some old people can't recognize people clearly. ”

Myopia is an irreversible symptom, let alone in the current Datang.

The house was quiet, the younger siblings were taking a nap, and Xiao Qingqing was also asleep on the spacious bear's back.

She's already used the bear's back as a second bed.

They are all used to this bear.

On the side of the quiet Huaqing Pool, the original hot spring pool was transformed into a hot spring waterfall, and a stone wall was built, and the stone wall was inclined to the upward staircase, and the water flowed out from the stone cracks, becoming a small waterfall.

When it's quiet at home, it's good to listen to the sound of water.

Auntie's eyesight has always been good, and Zhang Yang also feels that her eyesight has been getting worse and worse recently.

A mountain character is written from top to bottom, from large to small, and the daughter-in-law's eyesight can be compared with the aunt's eyesight.

After Li Yue rested for a while, he saw that his husband had already drawn an eye chart, "How do you use this?" ”

Zhang Yang pointed to the decimal on the chart and said, "Look at this mark, from top to bottom, from three to five to one." ”

She looked at it for another moment, "This way you can know how far myopia I am." ”

Pointing to a horizontal line in the distance, Zhang Yang smiled: "You stand there, blindfolded, to identify the direction of the mountain character on the icon." ”

When Li Yue heard this, he looked at it according to this method.

Zhang Yang picked up a thin bamboo pole and pointed to the 4.2 column, "Remember, if you can't see clearly, you can't see clearly, don't be blind." ”

Seeing his daughter-in-law nodding, Zhang Yang pointed to a word, "Which way is it facing." ”

Li Yue stretched out his hand and pointed to the right.

It was not a good thing to see Her Royal Highness the princess's poor eyesight, but watching the couple's temptation, the two aunts were full of smiles while cleaning up the house, this kind of game was very interesting.

After trying repeatedly, Li Yue's right eye was confirmed to be in the range of 4.7, which was already her limit.

Zhang Yang snorted coldly: "I didn't even say that I couldn't see clearly, I was really blind, it didn't matter if I tried a few more times, I could guess a rough idea, and the next thing is the left eye." ”

"Husband, try it too."

In this way, the couple tested each other's eyesight, until the younger siblings woke up from a nap, and the children also followed suit and tested each other.

The couple's eyesight came to a conclusion, Li Yue's right eye is at 4.7, and the left eye is at 4.2.

"My husband's eyesight can still be maintained so well."

Zhang Yang smiled: "Because you have been reading accounts and books before going to bed recently. ”

In terms of the couple's current eyesight, it is impossible to say that it affects their daily life, but making glasses needs to be put on the agenda.

Today's glass manufacturing in Lishan is still at the time when the glass roof was built.

Myopia glasses require higher light transmission.

"Brother-in-law, why hasn't this pumpkin grown yet?" Li Zhi glanced at the seedbed and walked back.

The younger brothers and sisters just woke up and sat on the edge of Huaqing Pool, listless.

These days, I can only listen to classes, and the children are much freer, because Li Yue's pregnancy has reached the most critical stage, and she will give birth at any time.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, don't worry, maybe it will grow in another half a month."

The pumpkin was planted late, so I had to wait patiently.

After the children had rested for half an hour, Zhang Yang clapped his hands and said to his younger siblings, "Today we will practice swimming." ”

"Brother-in-law, I want to learn to ride and shoot." Gao Yang was the first to speak.

This Gao Yang is about to become a problem child in Lishan, Zhang Yang said distressedly: "After you are fifteen years old, you can practice riding and archery." ”

Gao Yang folded her hands and counted, year after year, she was still five years away from learning to ride and shoot, and she was very unhappy with a little chubby face.

Let the palace maid change the younger siblings into swimsuits, which are made of silk and cotton.

Xiao Qingqing also wanted to go swimming, and was about to put down the pen in his hand and sneak forward, but was taken back by the bear.

Her face was full of grievances, her hands hung weakly, and her feet swayed weakly.

First take them to do the preparatory exercises before swimming, and the warm-up is finished.

Zhang Yang let out a whistling, and his younger brothers and sisters swam into the water together, and they were much more energetic as soon as they got out of the water.

Set up a chair and a table by the pool.

The stove was lit, and a pot of water was set on top, and he sat leisurely with boiling water while staring at his younger siblings and swimming.

Which one dived down and didn't come up, Zhang Yang had to go into the water immediately and fish the child up.

Swimming for half an hour, swimming is a necessary skill in the teaching of Lishan.

The little bear also wanted to swim in Huaqing Pond, Xiao Qingqing grabbed its ears and took it back, she couldn't swim in the water, and she didn't allow the bear to go into the water.

So much so that the bear could only lie at the hostess's feet and complain.

Li Yue habitually rested his feet on its back and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After the children's swimming, it's time to play free, whether they're playing rattanball, skipping rope or badminton.

Zhang Yang picked out the glass at home, which was the glass used to cover the glass roof.

The stove at home was still burning, and Zhang Yang pushed the bellows a few times to make the fire burn bigger, and the fire was red.

Sweat was dripping, Zhang Yang burned the glass again, looked at the softened glass, stretched it with two iron rods, thinned it and then left it to dry.

After the glass cools, there are a lot of ravines, and it is impossible to make thick lenses, but it is okay to make some thinner lenses, and the light transmittance is as good as possible.

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Yang sat up from the floor, stretched comfortably, and went to see the glass he had dried early.

The light transmission of the glass is still not good, it seems that the light is repeatedly calcined to remove impurities, and the reality has given a blow to the head, and there is no change in the burning and burning.

In my heart, I plan to try it with borax.

Every day, I go to see the growth of the crops in the seedbed, and then go home to take care of my younger siblings and accompany my daughter-in-law.

When the pumpkin reached the vine extraction stage, Zhang Yang took a knife to cut off some soft and poorly grown branches.

Pruning the branches that are not well nourished will increase the yield of the fruit, as well as the fruit set.

I fertilized the pumpkin again, and then waited for the pumpkin to grow.

The aunt sent a message from the court, "County marquis, there is news in the court that Master Yan is going to build an official residence for Taifu Temple with someone. ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty will be wrong." ”

Aunt Wang was puzzled and said: "County marquis, Taifu Temple can grow grapes, and it has received a lot of praise from the court. ”

Auntie went to Chang'an City today to buy some supplies, and also brought a lot of news.

These news are a bit one-sided, Taifu Temple has grown grapes, in addition to good voices, there must be a lot of discussions, and there are also bad influences.

For example, the people in the court are worried that the people of the Western Regions will think too much, which will make Tian Khan's attitude towards the people of the Western Regions worse, and people will not sit idly by and watch this kind of thing happen.

I'm afraid that the grapes will cause wars, how can this be good?

But even so, no one can stop Taifu Temple from developing crops.

Li Yue was puzzled: "Why do you say that the DPRK and China will be wrong?" ”

Zhang Yang explained: "Taifu Temple wants to survive among the masses, and the development of crops is inseparable from the old farmers in the countryside, but it has nothing to do with the DPRK and China. ”

"If you pretend to be in the mansion all day, how can you still grow crops?"

Seeing his daughter-in-law looking at him with a puzzled expression, Zhang Yang said again: "What is needed now is the convenience of field distribution, and the counties have been rolling up in grain for their own results." ”

"Focus on cultivating the fields, but do not consider the people's livelihood, what Taifu Temple needs is to use crops, vegetables and fruits to improve people's livelihood, and the distribution of fields is the need of our Taifu Temple, rather than blindly pursuing food production, so as to dig up vegetable fields and forests to grow food."

At present, the grain in the Central Plains has reached a point of saturation, there is more grain, population growth is still slow, and grain prices have been falling.

Zhang Yang frowned and said: "I estimate that after the summer harvest this year, most of the grain in Guanzhong will be four dollars a bucket, and cultivating vegetables and melons and fruits is very important, and it can also alleviate the current dilemma from a certain situation." ”

"Selling more vegetables and fruits can also increase the income of ordinary people, and they will not keep involuting to grow food, resulting in more and more involution, I want to talk to your father about this matter when I have the opportunity."
