Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 127 Willing to gamble and admit defeat

What can I grow like this?Changsun Wuji, what do you mean?Su Cheng couldn't help but slander.

Su Cheng joked: "Actually, I'm really good at growing corn. I really don't need arable land! It can be grown anywhere, even in dry land and wasteland. Corn grows lush and tall and can compete for nutrients, so it can also be grown in wasteland. , of course, the yield will definitely be lower if the wasteland is planted. This is a food crop suitable for cultivation in the north."

Fang Xuanling excitedly said: "There is Zhenguan rice in the south, and corn in the north. When these two food crops are popularized, there will be no starvation in the Tang Dynasty!"

Changsun Wuji also said excitedly: "This is an auspicious auspicious gift from heaven, helping His Majesty create a prosperous world!"

Look at this horse shot!Su Cheng also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Uncle Changsun is right, I am the auspicious person sent by heaven to help His Majesty create a prosperous world!"

Several people turned around and looked at Su Cheng, their eyes all revealed the same meaning, what a shame!

What do you mean?I brought the system down from the sky, isn't it considered auspicious for helping Li Shimin create a prosperous world?So Su Cheng's gaze was very sincere and calm.

Li Shimin suddenly turned around and shouted: "Hey! Old Yuchi! Let go of my corn!"

Yu Chigong, who was stroking the corn curiously, was startled by Li Shimin's voice, and then shook his hand...

Click!

Corn falls to the ground.

Immediately, Li Shimin's eyes turned green!

"My grain!"

Su Cheng stood on the side in a daze, what is your corn?What is your grain?Li Er, you have to explain it clearly to me!

Before Su Cheng could ask a question, Li Shimin stepped forward and kicked his leg.

Boom!Yu Chigong plunged headlong into the ditch.

Yu Chigong said with an aggrieved face: "Your Majesty, I don't blame this minister, I didn't want to break it off, it's all because..."

Li Shimin stared at Yu Chigong and asked, "Why?"

Of course it's because I was scared by your voice!Yuchi Gong faltered and said: "It's because, it's because, my hands trembled for a while."

Su Cheng on the side couldn't help gasping. Yuchi Laohei was kicked into the ditch by His Majesty just because he touched the corn. He thought he broke so much corn all at once, but only received a scolding. Thinking about it now, His Majesty has been too forgiving and kind to him!

No, it must be an illusion.

Su Cheng picked up the corn and peeled it off. All eyes were on the corn in Su Cheng's hand.

Because of Yu Chigong's miss, Corn finally revealed the true face of Mount Lu.

"No wonder it's called corn, it's as crystal clear as jade!"

"Such a big grain of rice is really good food!"

"Yeah, how many grains of rice can one grain of this size hold!"

"Yes, this grain is really productive!"

Everyone was discussing, Fang Xuanling asked: "This grain is so big, can't it be used as grain seed?"

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not ripe until the leaves are withered and yellow, and the corn kernels are hard to the touch."

In other words, the corn will continue to grow, and everyone can't help but gasp!

"Wu Yushi!"

"What's wrong with you, Wu Yushi?"

"Wu Yushi fainted!"

Wu Yan, who had gambled with Su Cheng in the hall, finally couldn't take it anymore after seeing the true face of the corn. He felt dizzy and fell to the ground slowly.

Today Li Shimin specially called Wu Yan up to watch a good show, and the show was really good, Li Shimin said indifferently: "Please ask the old man to fetch some water for Wu Yushi."

Liu Dashan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Caomin is going to find water now."

Several acquainted officials pinched Wu Yan's people, Wu Yan woke up leisurely, but his face was disheartened.

Lost!

Never expected to lose!

Su Cheng's nonsense actually planted such a high-yielding crop!

Is there any reason for this?

Hundreds of thousands of bets!

Among them is his [-] guan!Although the eldest lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan promised to pay the one hundred thousand guan, I don't know if it is true or not!

If the Wang family doesn't come out, then he may not be able to sell enough iron, and he may have to borrow money, and he will have to pay it back for a lifetime.

Even if the Taiyuan Wang family really produced the one hundred thousand guan, he would be a laughing stock in the capital and his reputation would be ruined for the rest of his life!

Li Shimin said lightly: "Although there is no autumn harvest yet, it seems that the outcome of this match has been decided!"

Wu Yan trembled but couldn't say anything. After all, this involved a bet of hundreds of thousands. Although the result was obvious, he didn't have the courage to admit defeat.

The other officials who bet on Wu Yan were also silent. Although they only bet a few thousand guan, at most tens of thousands of guan, it was not a small amount, and it would be a lie to say that they didn't feel sorry.

Cui Guang cupped his hands slightly and said: "It is true that the victory and defeat have been decided. I am willing to bet and admit defeat. I will hand over [-] coins to An Kangbo as soon as possible! In fact, I did not lose to An Kangbo, but to this high-yield man who has never been seen before." Grain seeds. I congratulate Your Majesty on obtaining high-yield grain seeds, and may the people of the world never starve to death again!"

Since even Cui Guang had conceded, the others had no choice but to concede as well.

"The minister will also hand over the money to An Kangbo as soon as possible!"

"The minister will also hand over the money to An Kangbo as soon as possible!"

……

Wu Yan said with a disheartened face: "Chen, I will try my best to collect money!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Wu Yushi don't have to force it. In fact, the so-called betting is just for fun. Wu Yushi can pay as much as he likes. Also, you don't have to give me the money. After all, it was agreed at the beginning. Those who come to build roads are not for me, so they don’t have to be sent to my house, they can be given directly to His Majesty, the Ministry of Households, or the Ministry of Works, since they are also used to build roads anyway!”

Anyway, these are not for him, why send them to his home?It is troublesome to collect money. If there is an omission and the money is less, it will be hard to tell.

Cui Guang laughed and said, "What An Kangbo said makes sense."

The other officials also agreed after hearing this. They were very upset at first when they lost to Su Cheng, and they were even more upset when they had to send the money to Su Cheng's house.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "In this case, let's send it directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry! The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry each send some people to be led by Su Cheng to start road construction."

Su Cheng was surprised and said, "I'll take care of it?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "This matter happened because of you, of course you have to be responsible!"

The other officials couldn't help but feel a little envious when they heard this. Road construction is a lucrative job, and it can also gain a good reputation.

reputation?Am I missing it?Grease?He didn't want to profit at all, and he disdained that little money, so Su Cheng didn't want it very much, he just wanted to spend money and spend money and wait for death, okay?

Looking at the green cornfield, Li Shimin's mood became better and better. These are all his grain seeds!

"Old man, these grains are very important to my Tang Dynasty, you should take care of them more." Li Shimin instructed.

Liu Dashan hurriedly said: "Uncle has said it, and the grassroots know that corn is indeed a good grain. Everyone is looking forward to planting corn next year!"
