City: The Dragon King Returning from Journey to the West

Chapter 39
According to historical records, the grain yield per mu in the Tang Dynasty was 334 catties, while that of sweet potatoes reached three to four thousand catties per mu.

10 times the output, if this is promoted, the people of Tang Dynasty will at least not have to worry about starving to death.

This is the great merit of countless living beings.

Even if there are more discounts and double the output, that would be great.

What's more, there was no need for Li Yu to lie to him.

The yield of this sweet potato is absolutely astonishing.

Li Chengqian's worship came from the heart.

Li Yu helped Li Chengqian and gave him a detailed introduction to the production habits and various eating methods of sweet potatoes.

Li Chengqian listened very carefully, afraid of missing even a little bit of information.

After Li Yu finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Okay, sweet potatoes, in my hometown, basically eat too much big fish and meat, and occasionally eat them to relieve tiredness, or as snacks, they are usually used to feed pigs .”

"Ah——" Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. Such good food was actually used to feed pigs.

Pork is cheap meat, and it doesn't taste good, so why feed it sweet potatoes?
Li Yu picked up a generation of hybrid rice and said: "This is a new rice variety developed and bred by a great sage named Yuan. The yield per mu can reach up to 2000 catties, and you can get 1200 catties of full-grained high-quality rice."

Li Chengqian gasped. It was unheard of for him to produce 1200 catties of high-quality rice per mu.

"Really...really?" Li Chengqian looked like a dream, which is too exaggerated, it's hard to believe, could it be a fairy species.

Li Yu smiled and said: "I am also conservatively estimating that in my hometown, the yield of rice per mu can reach 3000 catties. Of course, this rice cannot be kept as seeds, and the seeds need to be cultivated separately. With technology, in the future the prince will be able to let people cultivate high-yield rice by themselves, completely solving the problem of food and clothing for the common people.”

Li Chengqian couldn't help bowing to Li Yu, "Brother gave me such a fairy seed, the merit is immeasurable."

Li Yu helped him up, and said: "I said before, my wish is for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the human race. Only when the productivity is improved and the problem of food and clothing are solved, can the common people have more creativity and civilization will be more brilliant. "

Li Chengqian sighed: "Brother Taiwan has such great ambitions, and I will not disappoint Xiongtai."

Li Yu nodded: "For these two things, the prince will first find a suitable environment for trial planting. Next, I will provide a large number of seeds to promote in Datang. As for how to optimize breeding in the future, the prince will need to select and train agricultural experts to do it."

"The seeds I provide are distributed to the common people for free."

"Agriculture is the foundation of development. Agriculture, rural areas, and farmers are related to the foundation of the country. Doing a good job in the work of agriculture, rural areas and farmers will lay the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"The burden on the people of the Tang Dynasty is still very heavy, and there are still a lot of levies and miscellaneous taxes in various places. Therefore, a large-scale tax reduction and exemption policy for agriculture, rural areas and farmers must be implemented year by year."

For Li Yu, who grew up in a modern society, these familiar policies sound like thunder when they fall into Li Chengqian's mouth.

"Agriculture is the foundation, and commercial circulation is the key. Commerce promotes the development of social division of labor and improves efficiency. Well, this book "The Wealth of Nations" talks about the principle that social division of labor and commercial circulation drive the country to become rich and strong. It is an author from my hometown. Written by the Great Virtue."

After receiving the printed book handed over by Li Yu, Li Chengqian was overwhelmed with emotion. Li Yu's discussion and views on business were inconsistent with the current mainstream, but they should not be talking casually.

He was full of curiosity about the "hometown" that Li Yu said, and it sounded very powerful, but he had never heard of such a place.

Seeing Li Chengqian's shocked expression, Li Yu smiled secretly, and continued: "In order to promote commercial circulation, the royal family can establish a bank, establish a unified national currency circulation system, and provide low-interest funds for agricultural development and people's entrepreneurship. The money bank must be controlled in the hands of the royal family, and cannot be used as a tool for individual people to make profits..."

"Economy is the foundation. Agricultural output has increased, commercial circulation has improved, and the problem of food and clothing for the common people has been solved. The next step is to increase the popularization of knowledge and culture, let everyone learn to read and write, and carry out free compulsory education. This measure can be the first Starting from the family of soldiers, as a special care policy. The state capital with a good economic foundation can also pilot and promote it in advance..."

Li Yu talked about a series of measures to govern the country and the people.

These are policies that have been implemented in modern society for many years, and facts have proved to be very effective in promoting social progress.

As for the implementation in the Tang Dynasty, although it is a bit advanced, but the seeds of advanced ideas are planted first, and they will germinate slowly in the future, and there will be harvest.

These concepts, as long as Li and his son accept some of them, can have earth-shattering effects.

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, desperately digesting and absorbing what Li Yu said, feeling extremely shocked.

These concepts and policies definitely do not sound like they were imagined out of thin air.

Listening to Li Yu's story, it seems that these measures have already been implemented in his hometown, and the effect is very good.

What kind of place is this.

Is it Xanadu?
Or is it a fairyland on earth?
It is really desirable.

At this time, Li Yu raised his hand and pressed it on Li Chengqian's forehead.

Li Chengqian was taken aback, and then he felt a warm energy flowing into his body, and his whole mind suddenly calmed down.

"A little gift, the prince will show his strength and work hard for the well-being of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the human race."

Li Yu spent a lot of money to take out a hundred rays of merit and blend them into Li Chengqian's body.

With the protection of the light of merit and virtue, coupled with the continuous harvest of light of merit in the future, it will never be easily counted again.

Then, he reached out and took out a juicy peach, and sealed 100 rays of merit light inside, "You can bring this peach to the emperor."

Li Chengqian had a solemn face, and took the peach with purple luster in both hands.

He bowed to Li Yu, then left the hut, and hurried back to the palace with his guards.

He must quickly report to his father what he saw and heard today.

Back in the palace, he offered the peaches first, "Father, this is a fairy peach specially given by Li Yu, please taste it."

During this period of time, Li Shimin had already eaten a lot of peaches, and the more he ate, the more energetic he became, but the peach in front of him was red and purple, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

He picked up the peach and took a bite, the whole peach turned into a stream of purple light and entered his belly, leaving only a peach pit in his hand.

"This……"

Li Shimin was extremely shocked.

At this moment, a wisp of black smoke floated from his body.

The very pale white mark between his brows disappeared without a sound.

Li Shimin clicked his mouth, "Sure enough, it is Xiantao, which makes me feel refreshed, as if I have returned to my youth."

Li Chengqian was very happy to see his father's radiance, and said: "In addition to this fairy peach, Li Yu also gave me two kinds of sweet potatoes and rice seeds from his hometown, with an output of two thousand catties per mu!"

"What did you say?" Li Shimin stood up abruptly.

　Thanks to the book friend 20211204101748898264424 and the old boy who loves to eat melon seeds for their rewards.

　　Seeking collection, collection, collection, collection, follow-up, follow-up, follow-up.
