Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 84 More Meaningful Things

Su Cheng, who Empress Changsun thought of, naturally thought of it too. He has a feud with Wu Xing Qiwang, how could he be an enemy?

Li Shimin's eyes also looked over, with scrutiny and warning in his eyes, obviously Li Shimin did not want the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes to continue to grow.

Su Cheng hurriedly said: "How could I lose? Of course, even if I lose, it's impossible for me to give them the secret recipe. At that time, it will be all right if I sell the secret recipe to the empress?"

The Empress pursed her lips and said with a smile: "When you say that, I suddenly really want you to lose."

Look, does this sound like what a mother-in-law should say?

What a cruel mother-in-law, Su Cheng has a black face: "I can't lose!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I carefully observed your face at that time, and found that you were very calm and composed, and your eyes were full of confidence when you looked at me, so, Su Cheng, are you really confident that you can win?"

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I am very confident."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "You haven't even plowed the land, so you are so confident?"

Su Cheng's face turned red when he heard this, because he felt that the Empress Empress looked at him like she was looking at a silly son.

Su Cheng blushed a little and said: "Of course I am confident, because the corn yield is huge, and it is not a big problem whether to cultivate the land or not!"

What Li Shimin is most concerned about is the yield of this new grain crop. He immediately became interested and asked, "The yield is very large? How much bigger is it compared to grain?"

Su Cheng pondered: "Corn is suitable for planting in the north. It does not choose the land, and it is resistant to drought and cold. The yield is at least [-]% higher than that of millet!"

What?Thirty percent more?Li Shimin couldn't help but gasp, there are such food crops?

What does the yield of more than [-]% of an acre of land mean to farmers?It means that farmers will have [-]% more rations, which means that they can live more prosperously, and they are even more likely to survive bad years.

It is even more important for the imperial court!

"Thirty percent more than millet per mu? Are you sure?" Li Shimin's face flushed. He dreamed of creating a prosperous world, the first prosperous world in ancient and modern times. There is no doubt that whether it is Zhenguan rice or corn, it will be his creation. The cornerstone of prosperity.

Empress Changsun also looked at Su Cheng with scorching eyes, apparently very pleasantly surprised by the huge yield of grain seeds that Su Cheng said.

Su Cheng scratched his head and said, "Ah, actually, I'm not sure!"

"Huh?" Li Shimin's eyes suddenly became unfriendly.

"It's certain that the yield per mu is greater than that of millet. I'm not sure how much larger it is. Maybe [-]%, maybe [-]%, maybe [-]%, it's hard to say." Su Cheng spread his hands.

Li Shimin asked: "It's useless to ask you, is this kind of seed left by your master? Your master never planted it?"

These words have never been taught before, Su Cheng can only vaguely say: "Maybe they have been planted before? I have only heard a few words, so I don't remember clearly."

Li Shimin said angrily: "You, you, you planted randomly without knowing it! If you don't know what to do, you can offer the seeds, and I will find experienced farmers to plant them. They are better than you nonsense! Really let you I'm so pissed off!"

Oh, dedicated to you?What are you thinking?When you wait for the corn harvest, you just wait to be slaughtered, right?Su Cheng was very disdainful.

When the harvest comes, Li Shimin will know how big the corn production is, and won't he be crying and begging for corn seeds?

After thinking about it, Su Cheng laughed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen pigs running?"

Thinking that Su Cheng didn't even plow the land when he planted corn, both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were deeply suspicious.

Su Cheng suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Your Majesty, this time the bet is so big, no one will play tricks and destroy my corn?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Who would dare? It is precisely because the stakes are so high this time that no one dares! If your crops are destroyed, it will not only ruin your reputation!"

Su Cheng thought so too. If he destroyed the crops, he would lose, but he was not the only one who offended. After all, there were many people who overwhelmed him to win, and such a victory or defeat was really not convincing.

Empress Changsun looked at Su Cheng fixedly, and said seriously: "Boy Su, you actually proposed to donate these hundreds of thousands of guns to build bridges and pave the way for the people of Chang'an. Although you are young, your heart is as big as this palace's." I admire you very much! I thank you on behalf of the people of Chang'an!"

Su Cheng quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, it's not in the name of the minister, but in the name of the empress to build the bridge and pave the road! This has nothing to do with the minister!"

Li Shimin was immediately delighted: "You donated what you donated. How can I lose your reputation? You are a small county uncle with a big sesame title, are you afraid that I will be taboo?"

Damn, Li Er, you can't speak, can you say a few words less?Su Cheng's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Empress Changsun said seriously: "Boy Su, just this proposal to you, even if you lose, I will keep you safe!"

If Su Cheng loses, he will not only face the problem of losing money, but also the problem of blood written by thousands of people.

"What if the minister wins? Is there any benefit?" Su Cheng's eyes lit up and asked.

"You are famous in Chang'an after winning, and all the people in Chang'an will praise you, isn't that enough?" Li Shimin said angrily.

Empress Changsun giggled and said, "Last time you cheated Wang Qingyun with a hundred thousand guan, I thought you were a money lover, but I didn't expect you to be so indifferent this time, I really found a good one for Changle." Where is the son-in-law!"

Su Chengyun waved his hands calmly: "Wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me, and what I pursue is more meaningful things!"

Gently waving his hands and speaking lightly, Su Cheng felt that his pretense was absolutely perfect!More importantly, this was pretending in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and it even made them stunned.

The kind of comfort, I'm afraid it can't be compared with their daughter Princess Changle's bridal chamber.

"Oh, what's more meaningful?" Li Shimin asked curiously, he couldn't help thinking of what Su Cheng once said about working hard to build a prosperous and powerful Tang Dynasty.

"Set up your mind for the heaven and the earth, set up your life for the people, set up a legacy for the sages of the past, and create peace for all generations."

Su Cheng's cadenced voice echoed in the hall, and Li Shimin and Changsun Empress were all stunned, the cadenced voice kept echoing in their minds.

The two of them were completely overwhelmed!

As the officials dispersed, the news spread at an astonishing speed, and everyone who heard it was dumbfounded.

Hundreds of thousands of bets?

That's amazing too, isn't it?

But everyone who heard it couldn't help swallowing their saliva, hundreds of thousands of pennies, they couldn't even imagine how huge a sum of money this was.
