Chapter 949: Everyone should rejoice
"Hmm......" Li Ke was about to say something, but his personal guard walked in, walked to Li Ke's side and whispered something.
"Huh?" After listening, Li Ke was also a little pleased. Of course, the news he got was actually just the news of the Datang grain harvest, although Li Ke already knew it when he gave the seeds, but when the news really came out, he was still happy.
"Your Highness, what is the happy event? Don't know if I can share? Li Yinan looked at Li Ke's face and knew that it was a good thing.
"Of course, this year's Datang grain harvest is bumper, and just more than 30 million acres of land is enough for everyone in Datang to eat." Li Ke said happily.
As soon as Li Ke's words came out, Li Yinan was somewhat shocked, he had also been a khan anyway, although the grassland people were not good at planting, but they also had some understanding of these aspects.
In the past, the land in Datang was not enough for the people to eat, but now only more than 30 million acres of land is enough to eat? According to the calculation of 100 acres of land per household in Datang, this is only 300,000 households! The current population of Datang cannot be only 300,000 households anyway.
"What kind of high-yielding seeds are here?" Li Yinan paused and asked directly.
"Of course, a whole new wheat seed, and a new crop, potatoes." Li Ke said with a smile, Li Yinan is now a Datang person, of course he has the right to know.
"Congratulations, Your Highness." Li Yinan immediately congratulated with a smile.
"Congratulations on what I'm doing, it should be the same joy of the whole world, just like you, although it seems to have nothing to do with you, but the people are not short of food, and when they have money, food can be used to make more sweet spirits, and produce more food-consuming food, you will naturally be able to eat more delicious food, which is a good thing."
"Not to mention anything else, in the future, I am afraid that the people of the world will not all pursue to eat some good pasta, such as white noodles, and rice, those bran can naturally be used to feed pigs, chickens and other poultry and livestock, there is no shortage of meat in the world, and we can eat more food." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Indeed, the minister is a little stupid." Li Yinan thought about it, of course this is a good thing, if you eat well, the skin of the little ladies is naturally more delicate, and the mind is naturally greater and broader, which is a good thing!
"But I still have some things here, so I won't talk to you more, I have to go to the palace." Li Ke said with a smile.
"The minister retired, in addition, the minister has a reluctant request, if His Highness can have time, please also ask His Highness to appreciate his face." Li Yinan hurriedly spoke.
"What's the matter? You said. Li Ke was in a good mood. In any case, the problem he wanted to solve has now been solved in the most critical one, especially the one completely, which is of course happy.
"I heard that if there is a happy event in Chang'an, the minister has to entertain guests, and the minister has been in Chang'an for more than two or three months, and he is familiar with Chang'an, so in order to celebrate being able to live in Chang'an, a prosperous city in the world, he wants to entertain guests, but he doesn't know many people in Chang'an."
"When the minister was in the grassland, I heard that His Majesty, His Royal Highness and others like to watch our Turkic people sing and dance, so the minister wanted to invite His Highness to come to the minister's banquet, and the minister also performed my grassland dance for His Highness." Li Yinan said with a smile.
Good guy, Li Keren is speechless, this is fast enough, he even took the initiative to learn to dance, this Pearl Khan is a bit interesting.
"If I don't have anything special, I'll go to your feast." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Li Yinan said with gratitude on his face, "The minister didn't dare to disturb His Highness anymore, so the minister retired first." ”
sent Li Yinan away, and Li Ke also went straight to the palace.
When Li Ke arrived at the Liangyi Palace, there were many ministers today.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, and Huo Gang are all here.
"The ministers have seen His Highness." Several people present saluted Li Ke one after another.
"No courtesy, Dad, people are so complete today." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Such a big good thing, of course, the people are more complete, after all, this matter is still very important today." Li Shimin said with a smile, "I just discussed with them before you came, although this year's grain harvest is bumper, and with this year's bumper harvest, next year's Datang can basically grow wheat wherever this kind of high-yield crop can be planted." ”
"Including potatoes can also be freely promoted, but I think this matter, no matter what, we can't take it lightly, I just told Qin Qiong and Huo Gang that this high-yield wheat and potatoes must not leak out, such as Goguryeo, Persia in the west, Tubo in Tianzhu and other places can not let them get seeds."
Everyone's eyes were naturally focused on Li Ke's body, and after pondering for a while, Li Ke nodded and said, "Actually, even if it is a leaked part, it is not a big problem." ”
First of all, the current production scale of these seeds is extremely terrifying, even if the Tang Dynasty strictly ordered smuggling, it is naturally impossible to check everyone, this era is not like the later generations, and all national borders are difficult to cross.
In this era, there are a lot of uninhabited places on the national border, and if you walk casually, people who really want to carry good seeds can actually take them out easily.
However, the number of people brought out is not large, and it takes a long time to form a scale, and it is estimated that it will not be able to form a scale in more than ten years.
In addition, like potatoes, if you don't detoxify, you will completely reduce the yield after three or four years of large-scale planting.
In fact, potatoes are not afraid of leaking out.
Therefore, it is not so important whether these high-yield seeds are leaked or not, of course, if you can control a part of it now, it is natural to control a part of it, and if you can delay the spread for a few years, you will delay the spread for a few years, which is good for Datang.
As soon as I told everyone and my father what I thought, everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"Compared with the risk of leakage, I think we should pay more attention to our internal problems, especially in the first year of this year's grain harvest, Tang Grain Reserve must make all preparations." Li Ke said.
"Your Highness, don't worry about this matter, we have already explained, Tang Grain Reserve will begin to officially carry out grain reserves, according to the orders of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness, the grain reserves will be stored according to the amount that is enough for the whole Tang Dynasty to eat for two years." Fang Xuanling immediately spoke.
"This is a good thing, I have cultivated a group of people for the important point of grain reserves, and the Tang grain reserves can be run directly, and now Datang will not appear, but the province of Menxia will be here." Li Ke looked at Wei Zheng.
"Your Highness, please speak."
