Chapter 207: Potatoes

When the three of them were talking, Li Shimin was also having a headache, originally wanted to let Li Xiang be quiet for a while, which could be regarded as a love for him, and also a suppression of him, it is not a good thing to rise too high at a young age, think about it at home, it will be extremely beneficial to the future life, but at this moment, looking at these twists and turns in front of him, Li Shimin knew that this kid was going to make a comeback.

There are a total of twelve twists and turns in front of him, all of them are because of Li Xiang's marriage, in addition to Cheng Yanjin's daughter, there is also the daughter of former Prime Minister Xiao Yu, and the others are also official eunuch families, but compared to these two people, their identities are a little insufficient, and Li Shimin will not consider them, but even the two in front of him, Li Shimin is a little undecided, not to mention that Li Xiang has not publicly discussed his marriage, and he doesn't know how much turmoil he will make at that time.

"The emperor didn't use his lunch, is there something important about the military state?"

When Li Shimin was worried, Yang Shufei asked people to come with something to eat, after the death of Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang Shufei was almost the position of temporary queen, and Li Shimin's body was also really concerned, after all, the relationship between the two was not weak in the early years, if it weren't for Queen Changsun, maybe Concubine Yang Shufei would also be able to care for the world.

"Come over and help me take a look, there are so many courting twists and turns here, I really don't know which one to choose, especially Cheng Yanjin and Xiao Yu."

In the past, when the children of the royal family asked for marriage, it could be said that it was even more difficult, and the major families were unwilling to intermarry with the royal family, even if the emperor's holy decree came down, it would be replaced by a concubine daughter, and they would never want their daughters to marry into the royal family, just because they looked down on the royal family.

But now the situation is directly reversed, these twists and turns are all about the daughters of the family, but Li Shimin doesn't know how to choose.

As a princess of the former dynasty, Concubine Yang Shu is very clear about the marriage between big families, if it is operated well, almost there is no need to worry about it in this life, but if it is not operated well, it may be a disaster.

"Did the emperor ask their father and son?"

Yang Shufei's words made Li Shimin a little dissatisfied, do you still need to ask about such a thing? Lao Tzu is the emperor, so he can naturally be his master, not to mention his grandfather.

"Other people may not need to ask, but Xiang'er is different from others."

Yang Shufei saw Li Shimin's expression, and immediately knew what was going on, although she had not met Li Xiang yet, but Yang Shufei had also heard about Li Xiang's series of ways of doing things, if she didn't ask clearly, it was very likely that there would be conflicts.

"I don't want to ask, I'm preparing to stay in the middle of the ......"

Li Shimin touched his beard and said, Now it's finally your turn to call the shots, although your major families have sent a twist, but Lao Tzu may not agree, the longer this matter is pressed, the more families will move.

"Your Majesty is so clever."

Concubine Yang Shufei also understood what Li Shimin meant, since you have a contradiction in this matter, then fight for a while in this matter, as the emperor of a country, the unity of your subordinates is very important, but the contradictions under your subordinates are more important, if you don't have contradictions, then wouldn't you have contradictions with me? How can the empire be well-being?

The whole capital is making trouble about Li Xiang's marriage, but Li Xiang doesn't have the kung fu to take care of this, at this moment Li Xiang has changed into civilian clothes and started to inspect the farms around Chang'an City.

According to Li Xiang's order, the farms around Chang'an City have begun to change, and the prisoners of war and bought slaves have also been arranged, or the original policy, I will not abuse you excessively, but you have to work for me honestly, and after ten or twenty years, you may be given freedom, which can be regarded as a glimmer of hope for you.

"What are you doing with a miserable face?"

Li Xiang looked at Zhou Huairen's bitter gourd face for a day.

"Lord Wang, this kind of son is also very expensive, what kind of place do you look at? In addition to watching the sky and eating, there is no water canal for watering the ground, and even if there is a shortage of water, we can't bring water over, and throw seeds in this kind of field, which is purely a waste of food, and what kind of seeds is this? ”

Zhou Huairen said with some worry, this thing is a potato made by Li Xiang, they have been ripe for a season, the yield is amazing, and now they are starting to cultivate again, so Zhou Huairen's heart is a little distressed, if this kind of arid broken land can't sprout, then our seeds will be wasted.

"Rest assured, this is a drought-tolerant plant, I've seen the records here, and the annual rain alone is about the same, so we don't need to worry about it."

The precipitation in Chang'an City in this era is still relatively rich, at least more than in the 21st century, and the potatoes themselves do not need too much water, which is also the high-yield crop that Li Xiang chose after the investigation, if you choose sweet potatoes, then the yield may be higher, but Li Xiang does not have detailed data, the potatoes have been planted for a season, and they are relatively safe.

"If that's the case, it would be great, the yield of this thing per mu should be more than 4,000 catties, according to the method that the prince said, it tastes very delicious, if we plant it in a large area, we will have a lot of grain in our hands, and even if we turn against the major families, we are not afraid that they will control the grain and suppress us."

Zhou Huairen said very excitedly, the current yield per mu is about 300 catties, we can directly plant one acre of potatoes can directly top more than ten times yours, don't look at our land is not as much as yours, but if we break our hands on food in the future, we people may not lose.

"Don't talk too early now, after all, people still have an advantage, is there any result of sending people to keep an eye on them this time?"

Li Xiang patted the soil in his hand, and then sat down on a stone bench next to him, this is already the interior of the farm, except for our own people, there are only these slaves left, no one can get out of here, so Li Xiang does not have to pretend to be sick.

"If you go back to Your Highness, the five surnames and Qiwang have all sent their own people to Liangzhou, and the auction is about to start, if our estimate is correct, almost every family has used at least three million yuan."

Hearing this number, Li Xiang frowned, it seems that it is still not enough, if it is doubled, it will allow them to sell more assets, and we will be able to profit from it......
