Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 45 Can this thing produce three thousand catties per mu?
Li House.

In the small courtyard and secluded courtyard, the phoenix trees are luxuriant, supporting a large area of ​​green shade.The green bamboos are vigorous and straight, casting dappled light and shadows.

Under the tree, the figure covered his eyes with a towel and half-lyed in a casual chair, gnawed on two mouthfuls of freshly picked cucumber while dangling, and there was a slight crisp sound.

Beside him, a huge icy pottery basin is placed on a stone table, chilled with high-quality fermented wine, the color is rose red, crystal clear, and the attractive color is reflected in the shadows.

Stretch your big hand into the crushed ice and grab the cup, take a sip of it beautifully, cool your mouth, and relieve the heat.Satisfied, he took a deep breath, and the smell of drunkenness and alcohol filled the air.

"Grape Wine Luminous Glass..."

"It's so hot and midsummer, it's still comfortable to lie down."

The cool breeze blew, and the coolness slid across the cheeks, which was extremely comfortable.

"Niezi! The land in the north of the Tang Dynasty is flooded, and the western border is barbarian."

"The courtiers of the entire Tang Dynasty are now extremely anxious and anxious."

"You actually slept here and sneaked away?"

Frowning slightly, Li Xian felt displeased.

Don't think about this violent scolding, it's exactly what my father Li Jing said.

Slowly propping up his body, Li Xian had a sad face.

"I said Dad, this important matter of the family and the country is discussed by the important ministers in the court. I am just a mere pawn. Your Majesty is an actor by his side. Where is the need..."

In the middle of speaking, the eyelids slowly opened, reflecting the smiling and staring face behind the livid face.

Call ~
Li Xian's whole body trembled instantly, and his drowsiness disappeared.

He got up in a hurry and stood up, bowing his hands and saluting, very pious.

"My minister, I have seen Your Majesty...Your Majesty."

Li Shimin didn't seem to care, he patted the shoulder of the angry figure in front of him with a smile, stepped forward, and the big horse and golden knife were half lying on Li Xian's chair.

While the bamboo chair was shaking, Li Shimin raised his arm slightly, and pointed at the empty seat beside the stone table, signaling for the two to sit down.

When the two of them were seated, there was a touch of peace in the rich Emperor's voice, and he spoke slowly.

"Working on state affairs, I am very anxious, I just walk around at will."

"Wei Guogong, Li Xiansu has not entered the court, so it's okay to be indifferent to the government."

After finishing speaking, Tiger Eyes turned to Li Xian, who looked a little cautious, and smiled meaningfully.

I don't know why, when Li Shimin learned that Li Xian could not predict the power of the prophet, he always liked to listen to some good advice at critical junctures.

Just like this trip, on the one hand, I want to see what potatoes are, and on the other hand, I also want to take a sideways shot to see what clever strategies Li Xian has.

His knuckles knocked against the armrest of the seat, and Li Shimin's eyes refocused on Li Jing.

"I know that the delay in the battle is Li Aiqing's helpless move. I understand it in my heart."

"But this matter must never be handled like this! The land of the Tang Dynasty must be fought for every inch of land."

"After suffering for half a year, I can't wait, and the border people can't wait!"

The wrinkles on Li Jing's forehead deepened in his eyes, and his complexion was solemn. Li Shimin turned his face away, looked at the blue and white clouds, and murmured.

"When I was young, I rode my horse on the battlefield. I have seen swords, swords, shadows, seas of blood, and mountains of corpses."

"This time, it's just a mere food and grass. Could it be more terrifying than facing life and death?"

"Duke Wei, what do you think?"

[Tsk tsk, Li Er, your acting is good! 】

[Recalling the past, comparing the present?The implication is that such a difficult life can be lived, and now that the country is in crisis, the standard of living will be appropriately lowered in the past and the grain will be donated to the warehouse? 】

【Our Li family is small and poor, so don't try to make plans with us!Do you want to donate food?Potato seeds are willing to contribute. 】

hiss~
Li Shimin's heart was shocked, and he inadvertently glanced at Li Xian with his head down in thought.

Potato?

Could it be that this delicious thing is still useful?Comparable to food?
While thinking about it, the hot-blooded Li Jing really gritted his teeth and bowed decisively.

"Your Majesty, I would like to donate the granary in the mansion..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin waving his hand, and he randomly tapped the stone table with his fingers.

"Li Aiqing is overthinking."

"I really came here to relax, and I dropped by to see with my own eyes what potatoes look like."

"I only know its taste, but not its face. In my heart, curiosity is hard to lose."

Even Li Xian was quite puzzled by these remarks, and suddenly raised his head, but from the majestic dragon face, there was not much hypocrisy to be seen.

[Are you still worried about eating in the face of the catastrophe? 】

[You are really a talent! 】

Muttering something in his heart, Li Xian stood up and saluted without stopping.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, the fields are dirty and filthy, and it is not suitable for Your Majesty to move, so I will submit it to you."

When the incense burns, a vine and five or six potatoes are placed on the stone table.

Two pairs of curious eyes stared at the strange things on the table for a long time before Li Shimin spoke out happily.

"Li Xian, is this a plant?"

"It's bigger than your fist? The result is so huge?"

Seeing the face of the two Zhangs who had never seen the world, Li Xian smiled and said in his heart.

[This is still the smallest!The big ones are not enough for harvest time.The size of a fist is only medium, and some of them are enough for three meals. 】

[There are at least seven or eight plants with large plants. Do you really think that the yield of 25 shi per mu is just talking? 】

[Compared to this thing, Migu is nothing but a trivial matter! 】

what?
25 stone!

Li Shimin, who was looking at the potatoes, suddenly changed his face, and a pair of eyes flashed with horror.

How can one mu of potatoes compare to five or six mu of rice?

If it can replace grain and grass, wouldn't the problem of grain storage be easily solved?

Call ~
Li Shimin took a slow breath, suppressed the surge of emotion in his heart, and looked at Li Xian to one side.

"Let me ask you, is there a novel way to eat such a fetish?"

After the words fell, Li Shimin, who was like the king of a country, felt a little nervous.

Li Shimin was afraid that this thing would not be easy to grow!I'm even more afraid that this thing can only be eaten roasted!I am even more afraid that the planting time of this thing is extremely demanding!

How to eat?

Hearing this for the first time, Li Xian frowned slightly, feeling slightly puzzled.

[Could it be that Li Er is still thinking about asking me to be his royal chef?Potato pancakes for breakfast and shredded potatoes for lunch?How many toudu balls are fried for dinner?Usually fried French fries, Dangdang to eat in your spare time? 】

[Li Er, Li Er, floods and border troubles have caused many people to live in dire straits, and food and clothing are hard to come by. Do you still think about mountain delicacies all day long?Also try to change patterns to eat! 】

[A novel way to eat?dream you! 】

With such thoughts in mind, Li Xian looked deep and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, I have a secret recipe, which is absolutely delicious!"

"Wash the potatoes with their skins and mud, put them in cold water, steam them and take them out until soft. Add cornel, salt, and pepper. It's the best in the world."

"Eating three pieces a day will keep you full, and you won't get greasy for a hundred days."

hiss~
Li Shimin's eyes sparkled brightly, and his face was flushed.

Simple cooking, amazing yield per mu, delicious and filling!
Isn't this just the good alternative food that you are looking for?

Hahaha.

Li Shimin sat down in the Happy Chair again, with a joyful face, pointing at Li Xian.

"Li Xian, you are not bad! This time is considered a great contribution to Tang Dynasty."

Having said that, Li Shimin smiled meaningfully.

This smile fell into Li Xian's eyes, and his heart sank, he shouted bad!

[Too bad, it was tricked by Li Er!Shouldn't he be banned? 】

[You don’t get rewarded for no merit, this is obviously meritorious deeds as a bait, and you want me to go to the fields to teach planting skills under the scorching sun!How could Li's mansion be as comfortable as lying flat on this fucking self-inflicted job? 】

[I don't want to grow potatoes for you, I just want to be a mediocre salted fish! 】
