Chapter 591

Wei Hao peeled the sweet potato, it was too hot, but Wei Hao took a bite carefully, swirling it in his mouth, but it was still delicious, other officials saw Wei Hao eating it, and wanted to eat it too, But now Li Shimin hasn't spoken yet, and dare not move. Li Shimin also took one in his hand at the moment, peeled it like Wei Hao, blew it a few times, took a small bite, and then chewed it, and found that the taste was really good.

"Well, well, Shen Yong, this tastes good, it tastes good!" Li Shimin praised again and again, and then said to the officials: "Try it too, try it!"

Those officials just started to do it now, took the sweet potato and started to taste it. Soon, they all nodded, it was delicious, it was indeed not bad, it has such a taste, what else can I say?It can be full and the taste is not bad. It is better than eating wild vegetables, bark, and Guanyin soil.

"Not bad, right?" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Not bad, really good!" The other officials nodded quickly. At this moment, Wei Hao thought that he still had roasted sweet potatoes buried in the fire, so he took a stick and began to pull them out. After cleaning the dust, Wei Hao was there wait.

"Shen Yong, can you eat it roasted like this?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It tastes best when it's baked. By the way, when the sweet potato porridge is ready, you can try it too. If you eat sweet potatoes alone like this, if you eat too much, it will swell, but if you cook it with rice, then No problem, you can eat it every day!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile.

Soon, the sweet potato porridge will be ready. Wei Hao served a bowl for Li Shimin, and he also served a bowl for himself, and let the officials share the rest. At this moment, Li Shimin is very satisfied. Such food, What's the problem, it's grown in the ground, and the taste is so good, although the storage time is not so long,
However, planting some every year can guarantee that you won’t go hungry, and ordinary people can grow them. As long as people don’t starve to death, there is hope. No, after Li Shimin drank sweet potato porridge, he would be happier
But at this moment, all the sweet potatoes in the ground were dug out, and Wei Hao sent someone to send them to the warehouse in his house. Wei Hao vacated a special warehouse for storing those sweet potatoes.

Then, the group arrived at the Luoyang government office. Li Shimin sat next to him and asked Wei Hao to sit on it. Wei Hao couldn't do without it.

"Shen Yong, you just sit on it. Today, so many officials are here. Next year, these sweet potatoes will be planted in these places. You need to deploy them. In addition, dear friends, listen, each of your counties must plant them. If you don’t grow it, if you don’t grow it well, you won’t be an official next year. This is related to the food in the mouths of the common people, and you can’t do it carelessly, so you just remember what Shenyong said later!” Li Shimin was sitting There, he stared at the officials and said, and the officials nodded repeatedly, expressing their understanding.

"Come on, Shenyong, sit down. You are the governor of Luoyang. This is the Luoyang government office. If you don't sit on it, who will sit on it?" Li Shimin then greeted Wei Hao.

"That's okay, the minister there is presumptuous!" Wei Hao cupped his hands at Li Shimin, then sat down, looked at the hundreds of officials below, and said: "My colleagues, this yield is very high, and it doesn't need to be planted on fertile land. It’s okay, as long as it’s particularly dry, just water it a few times. I’ll print out the specific planting method and give it to everyone. Now let’s talk about the planting situation next year.
I hope that all counties will plant 2000 mu. 2000 mu can support 2000 small families. In a county, there are almost [-] households. I hope to plant as many as possible. In terms of seedlings, next year I will raise all the seedlings here. This can be planted continuously for more than a month. I will notify you to pick up the seedlings at that time!How do you all see it? "

"Brother-in-law, Chang'an is not enough. I want to plant more than 10 mu in Chang'an. I don't care what others think. I must have so much in Chang'an. There are so many people in Chang'an. Once a natural disaster occurs, I don't know how much food will be needed. As Governor of Chang'an, I'm under a lot of pressure, if I have these sweet potatoes, I won't have to worry about starving to death if I have any problems in Chang'an!" Li Tai stood up first, and said to Wei Hao.

"Xia Guogong, my population in Huazhou is about 12 households, and I want to plant more than 5 mu. In our Huazhou area, the effect of growing food in the ground is not good. I want to try this. If it works, the people will not We will be hungry, please forgive us, Lord Xia!".
Then those officials stood up one after another and began to report how much to plant. Wei Hao also asked people to register. Basically, they accounted for about half of the local population.
Li Shimin looked at it, good guy, so many seeds have been planted, do you have so many seeds?
"Shen Yong, is this feasible? How many?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao worriedly and asked.

"Almost, father, I'm already planting winter ones. Look at the greenhouses in the field just now. They've all been planted now. When next spring begins, those seedlings can also be used. In addition, those sweet potatoes harvested this year, I am going to use it for all the seedlings. In fact, there is no problem in bringing more, but other places have a long way to go.

In addition, they have never seen it before. I am worried that they will not pay attention when they plant it. After all, no one knows the effect of new things, but the ones here are all seen and eaten. They know what's going on! Wei Hao nodded and said confidently.

"Okay, that's good, Shen Yong, you can plant as much as you want!" Wei Hao asked.

"In addition, father, next year I will plant 4 mu of land in Luoyang and [-] mu of land in Chang'an. After planting, I will tell everyone how to eat these sweet potatoes!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin said.

"Well, like this, Shen Yong, I don't care how much you plant, anyway, I will give you 2 yuan per acre of land. The court will buy [-]% of those sweet potatoes, and then distribute them to all parts of the country. Pharmacist, what do you think? ?” Li Shimin looked at Li Jing as he spoke.

"Yes, it is absolutely possible to send people from various states to come and see it, and then promote it!" Li Jing nodded and said.

"That's right, Shen Yong, don't worry about planting!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, I will publish a manual at that time, so that everyone can write in detail from seedling cultivation to eating at the end. I also hope that all officials can publicize it well, so that after the people plant it, they can save those sweet potatoes, and they can grow them by themselves next year. Already!" Wei Hao said to those officials, who bowed their hands in return.
After chatting here for a while, Li Shimin ordered to drive back to the palace, and let everyone go to the palace at the same time.

At noon today, Li Shimin is going to host a banquet for Wei Hao and other officials.
The meal lasted until the afternoon, and Wei Hao returned to the house a little drunk, but he still gave Li Shen a lecture.

But at this moment, in the palace, Li Shimin wrote an imperial decree and handed it over to an official of the Ministry of Rites.

"You set off for Chang'an tomorrow morning, and give the imperial decree to the crown prince. Let the prince find the Minister of Rites, and then go to Wei Hao's mansion to announce the decree!" Li Shimin handed the imperial decree to the official, along with a box.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The official from the Ministry of Rites nodded quickly.

"Go!" Li Shimin then waved his hand, and the official went out with his things, while Li Shimin happily walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the early autumn scenery outside.

"Your Majesty, did Shen Yong and the others go back?" At this time, Empress Changsun came and asked Li Shimin.

"Huh? The Guanyin servant girl is here? Yes, they are all gone. Shen Yong also drank some, but he didn't drink too much. I am happy today. I really have nothing to worry about. Shen Yong has nothing to worry about. It’s settled, now I’m just waiting for the right time, it’s time to take care of other countries, these countries have been encroaching on the border for the past few years, and I always thought that Tang Dynasty would not dare to touch them!” Li Shimin said with a sneer while standing there.

"The concubine also heard about this later, did Shen Yong really solve the food problem?" Empress Changsun asked very happily.

"It's solved, the yield per mu is 3800 catties!" Li Shimin said excitedly to Empress Changsun.

"How much, 3800 catties, this, such a high yield?" After hearing this, Empress Changsun was shocked.

"Shen Yong said, because these are taken care of by Wei Hao. It is estimated that if they are planted in a large area, they will not be less than 2500 catties per mu, but it is okay. One mu of land can feed five people, which is our current grain output. Dozens of times more, and you haven’t tasted it, it’s really good and sweet, but it’s a pity that those now need to be seeded. If you don’t need to be seeded, I really want to get some to the palace to taste! " Li Shimin then said to Empress Changsun.

"That's good, Your Majesty, if it's true, the people of Tang Dynasty won't cause chaos because of lack of food in the future. Shen Yong has made a lot of contributions! By the way, Shen Yong still has a lot of credit. You You can't keep giving rewards, right?" Empress Changsun said this, and immediately looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"I just issued an imperial decree that last time Shenyong's eldest son was the Duke of the country!" Li Shimin said, looking at the eldest grandson queen with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. With so much credit, a duke is wronged!" Empress Changsun nodded and said.

"Well, let's talk about it later. I don't know how many sons this kid has. I guess there are two or three?" Li Shimin smiled and said,
Now no one knows how many sons Wei Hao can have. The four concubines in the family gave birth to one son before, and now the 14 women in Luoyang are all pregnant, but no one dares to say how many sons there are , but Li Shimin was worried that if he didn't have any, he would be depressed. Wei Hao's family has such a tradition, five generations of single pass.

"Well, when Shenyong has more sons, you should reward them more. Shenyong has contributed too much to Tang Dynasty, so I can't do without rewards!" Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin nodded,
For the next period of time, Wei Hao taught Li Shen to read at home, and Li Shen really did not disappoint Wei Hao. Now he is learning solid geometry, and Wei Hao has already begun to teach him some simple physics knowledge. Shen has a very high understanding of those objects and designs.

After a while, the first snow arrived. When Wei Hao got up in the morning, he realized that it was snowing, and it was still falling.

"My lord, my lord, hurry up, Miss Siyuan is activated!" At this moment, a maid ran over and shouted at Wei Hao.

"Ah? Come on, hurry up and call the imperial doctor and the midwife!" Wei Hao yelled loudly when he heard this, and then he also ran to Siyuan's small courtyard,

When I got there, I found that the midwife had already arrived, the house had already been prepared, and the imperial doctor was about to arrive. The servants at home did not dare to neglect,
And Li Lizhi came here with a big belly at the moment.

"Hey, what are you doing here, it's still bleeding in such a cold day!" Wei Hao anxiously went over to support Li Lizhi.

"Aren't you worried about my sister?" Li Lizhi was supported by Wei Hao, and said worriedly. Before Wei Hao said to ask again, there was a wow from inside.

"He gave birth?" Li Lizhi said in surprise.

"This, isn't it too fast?" Wei Hao was also a little surprised, it went too smoothly.

"My lord, congratulations my lord, you are a daughter!" A maid came out first and said to Wei Hao.

"Okay, okay, hello Qianjin!" Wei Hao said happily.

"There's one more!" At this moment, a voice came from inside.

"There is another one?" Wei Hao was also stunned when he heard it.

"Twins?" Li Lizhi said in surprise.Then there was another wow.

"Sister gave birth too quickly, right?" Li Lizhi said in surprise.

"Siyuan practiced martial arts all the year round, probably it has something to do with this!" Wei Hao thought for a while and said, Li Siyuan's martial arts is better than Li Dejian's two brothers!

"Well, whoops, I, I seem to be giving birth too!" Li Lizhi said while rubbing her stomach and frowning.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Lizhi is about to give birth!" At this moment, Wei Hao was in a panic, who would have thought that the birth of a child would be done together.

"My lord, my lord, it's a little lord!" At this moment, a servant girl ran out of Li Siyuan's room and said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, hurry up, let the midwife get ready, Lizhi is about to give birth!" Wei Hao picked up Li Lizhi as he spoke, and quickly ran to Li Lizhi's small yard.

"My lord, my lord, Mrs. Chunyu has activated!" Just as Li Lizhi was put down, a servant girl ran over again.

"Damn it!" Wei Hao scratched his head at this moment, why is it at this time?
I have no choice but to arrange it quickly. Fortunately, the family is worried about such a situation and has many midwives in reserve. Otherwise, midwives are not easy to hire!
Now Wei Hao can't take care of Li Siyuan's side anymore. Li Siyuan's side is fine. Wei Hao took the time to look at it and then came out. Now Wei Hao is worried, don't have another concubine to give birth today.
