Chapter 82 Too Excited
When the civil and military officials heard that His Majesty was going to take them to Wei Zheng's mansion to see a new grain with a huge yield, which was said to be four to five thousand catties per mu, they couldn't help being surprised with suspicion.
How can there be such a high-yield thing in this world, not even in Wonderland.
Wei Zheng's mansion arrived soon.
Rows of Datang guards were standing by the side.
Li Shimin rushed into Wei Zheng's mansion with all the civil and military officials. Seeing that the good Wei Zheng's mansion suddenly turned into a farmland, the officials couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay.
Then Wei Zheng came over, bowed to Li Shimin and said:
"Your Majesty, I have just dug out a few potatoes. If one seed is planted, at least four potatoes can be produced, and there are at least six! According to my calculations, there are at least [-] potatoes in this mu of land!"
"Wei Chen is about to order someone to dig out all the potatoes in the field and show them to His Majesty for inspection!"
The ministers saw that what Wei Zheng said was true, and that there were indeed more than a dozen tubers covered with soil beside the farmland. Could it be that what Wei Zheng said was true?One mu of land can harvest more than five thousand catties?
Li Shimin couldn't hold back any longer, and said repeatedly:
"Bring me a hoe! I want to see for myself whether these potatoes are so good!"
As he spoke, he didn't wait for the old farmer to deliver the hoe, so he ran over, picked up the hoe, and dug up the potatoes.
All the officials saw that when Li Shimin went down with a hoe, there were pieces of potatoes in the soil that Li Shimin brought up, which were extremely numerous and crowded together.
Regardless of etiquette, Li Shimin squatted down immediately, groping around in the dirty soil with his hands, and pulled out all the potatoes!
Just a hoe down, and five big potatoes were dug out!
Each potato weighs more than a pound!
Li Shimin's whole heart was shocked!
He wielded his hoe and went down one by one. The potatoes were dug out along with the soil, and then washed out, piled together, and soon became a pile of hills!
It's only been digging for a while!
It is obvious that this mu of land must have a yield of five thousand catties!
After confirming the news, all the ministers present went crazy!
Many courtiers who were close to Li Shimin, such as Changsun Wuji Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui and others, without Li Shimin's permission, went directly to grab the hoe from the old farmer and then dug it by themselves.
I found that what I dug out was also full of potatoes. The output of this potato is true, and it is several times higher than what Li Hao said!
This was planted by Wei Zheng, who doesn't know much about planting, which shows that potatoes can be raised very well in the hands of ordinary people!
All of a sudden, many people were crying in a low voice!
They are so excited!
Some even cried bitterly on the spot!
Li Jing also burst into tears. Although he tried his best to control his crying, he still couldn't stop it.
Li Guanying also followed. She is now recognized by everyone as Li Hao's confidant, so she was naturally present on such an important occasion.
At this time Li Guanying comforted her father Li Jing softly.
But I don't understand why so many people cry bitterly.
These people are all famous ministers and generals of this dynasty, none of them are extremely deep in the city, even if they are fierce generals from war backgrounds, they are all rough and fine, not really reckless men.
Li Jing sighed and explained to his daughter:
"Guanying, when you were born, your family was relatively well-off. Although your family has always been strict with you, they never let you go hungry."
"You don't know what it's like to be hungry!"
"Even though those of us are already wealthy and no longer lack food or clothing, but when we were not rich, we were often hungry. Sometimes it is very good to be able to eat one meal a day!"
"Not to mention anything else, the ministers present, even if they come from powerful backgrounds, I'm afraid their families would have starved to death! Not to mention those from humble backgrounds, it's common for people to die of starvation!"
"When you have seen a living person, right in front of you, die because there is no food to eat, you will know why the big guy is crying!"
Li Jing's words were heard by some courtiers, and they nodded involuntarily, with more tears in their eyes.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has been fighting all the time. Until a few months ago, there was an invasion of the Turkic army.
Datang's treasury is really empty. Even with Li Hao's several schemes, which allowed Datang to grow rapidly, Wanmin is still very poor.
These courtiers have really survived the most difficult days. It is common for them to rebel and run out of food and grass. Some of them even ate some unspeakable meat!
Li Guanying couldn't help being moved.
All she knew was that this potato from Li Hao was a great contribution to filling the stomachs of the people of Datang.
But she never expected that this contribution was even greater than she imagined!
I saw Li Shimin feeling there for a long time.
Afterwards, he wiped away the tears that hadn't dripped from his eyes, and began to arrange how to promote the potato in the whole Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are responsible for this matter.
These four people are all the first-level prime ministers of the dynasty and have the strongest ability, so they are entrusted with this important task.
Li Shimin discussed with his ministers for a while, and decided on the matter of promotion.
Then Li Shimin came to Li Guanying.
Li Guanying hurriedly wanted to salute Li Shimin, but was supported by Li Shimin.
"Guanying, you followed a good man!"
"I want to reward him a lot, but I know that Li Hao probably doesn't like any rewards."
"Regarding this point, I am also very troubled. I decided to visit Mr. Li Hao personally to see what he needs, but I am afraid that he does not need me to do anything. If I want to reward him for his merits, I can't do it."
All the officials felt very depressed when they heard Li Shimin say this.
These people are eager to be rewarded, if they have such a great contribution, they will have to get a hereditary Wang Dangdang no matter what.
But this Li Hao, let's say he is arrogant, he is so arrogant that no one pays attention to him.
But he refused all the rewards. I really don't understand what he thinks.
Li Guanying immediately bowed and said:
"Li Hao is just young and loves to play. His Majesty can deposit the credit first, and it won't be too late to reward Li Hao after he grows up."
Li Shimin smiled and said:
"You really think about Li Hao."
"Don't worry, I will remember Li Hao's contribution. It's okay if he doesn't accept the reward now. If he wants to ask for it again in the future, I will definitely not forget his contribution."
"You lead the way, I'm going to meet Mr. Li Hao."
Li Guanying obeyed and immediately took Li Shimin to find Li Hao.
In Wei Zheng's mansion, there are still many courtiers who take over the hoes in the hands of Changsun Wuji and others, and dig by themselves to experience the happiness of digging out a large pile of potatoes.
……
Li Hao Mansion.
Without Li Guanying as his companion, Li Hao still felt a little bored.
This guide who was originally said to be assigned to him has unknowingly become his number one maid and housekeeper of Li Hao's mansion.
She is also Li Hao's loyal playmate.
Doing things alone is always boring, and these servants are too reserved, and the most important thing is that none of them are seductive.
At this moment, Li Guanying came back.
