In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 119 Changsun Wuji's Fault
Yes, the warehouse is empty.

The Cui family did make up for the shortfall.However, most of what they made up was money, and only a small amount of food was brought over.

Therefore, only [-]% of the grain saved last year can be retrieved now, not even half.

At this time, Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have just received reports from various places that this year, due to the drought, the grain production in various places is not high.

According to the data sent back from various places, I estimated that our grain output this year is only about half of last year. "

Although the reservoir is already under construction, what should be drought will still be drought before it is completed.

"What? Only half of what it was last year? This..."

Sitting on the high seat, Li Shimin's eyes widened.

It's over, if this is the case, then this year will be another famine year.

Suddenly, Yu Shinan stood up and said: "It shouldn't be! This year is not really a drought! A few days ago, when I passed Dongshan, the plants on the slopes of King Shu grew very well! It was lush and green, It doesn't look like a sign of dry weather!"

Yes, if it is a severe drought, the plants growing on the slopes are almost dead.

Even if it is a small drought, it should be withered and yellow.

However, what Yu Shinan saw was green.This is clearly a scene of good weather!

The plants on the slopes can grow so well, how could the crops in the paddy fields be so dry.

The most important thing is that a great Confucian like Yu Shinan rarely goes out, and he was very impressed when he saw this scene when he went out.

Therefore, Yu Shinan became suspicious of Fang Xuanling's words.

"What? How is this possible? The plants on the slopes can grow so green and so good?"

"This is impossible. My family's grain production has decreased this year. Good land is not as good as slope land. How is this possible?"

Yu Shinan shocked many people.Everyone was talking there.

Yes, most people in the court have land.

Although they don't go to the fields and don't know what's going on in the fields, they also know that this year's grain production has decreased.

Therefore, they all showed shock at Yu Shinan's words.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Yu Shinan became anxious and said, "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."

Li Shimin was a little confused.

Yu Shinan is a great Confucianist with a trustworthy character, so it is impossible for him to come out here and talk nonsense to deceive everyone.

However, most people have doubts about his words. What is the situation?
Fang Xuanling frowned.He and Yu Shinan are good friends, so it stands to reason that Yu Shinan wouldn't stand up to tear him down.

However, he stood up and said such words.

What exactly is going on?

Fang Xuanling asked: "Bo Shi (Yu Shinan's handwriting), have you seen it clearly? Is your vision blurred? This is impossible! How can the crops on the slope grow better than the paddy field?"

At this time, an official suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have seen the scene that Lord Yu just described. I still thought it was amazing at the time, so I went to ask the old farmer in the field.

The old farmer told me that His Royal Highness the King of Shu made a waterwheel that can allow water to flow to high places. When I heard it, I thought he was talking nonsense. How could water flow to high places!I didn't delve into it.Your Majesty, now it seems that this matter is true! "

A waterwheel that allows water to flow to high places?Why does this sentence sound so familiar?
Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes widened, he looked at Fang Xuanling, and then at Changsun Wuji.

Wei Zheng also looked at Changsun Wuji with a strange expression, and so did Fang Xuanling.

Yes, they remembered.When the king of Shu just got out of this waterwheel, someone came to report it.

At that time, Fang Xuanling thought it was amazing, and said he wanted to see it for himself.In the end, he was stopped by Changsun Wuji.

Yes, they all remembered the waterwheel that can flow water to high places.

Changsun Wuji also remembered it, and suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, the water flows to high places, is it impossible? Your Majesty, do you believe it?"

Li Shimin's face was very ugly.

According to his understanding of Li Ke during this period of time, he is almost certain now that Li Ke must have made such a thing.

However, he was stopped by Changsun Wuji at that time.Otherwise, this year will be a bumper year.

Careless!

Li Shimin took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and said decisively: "Show me, Dongshan."

With Li Shimin's order, Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty left the palace.

Yes, this time, instead of riding a dragon chariot, he rode out of the palace directly.

There is no way, the road to Dongshan is almost impossible to carry the dragon chariot.

Along the way, Li Shimin and all the civil and military officials saw a cartload of salt pushing towards Chang'an City from the direction of Dongshan.

Li Shimin was delighted to see it.

Yes, Datang, there is no shortage of salt anymore.

Li Shimin ordered decisively not to disturb the trucks delivering salt.

Li Shimin's team marched forward in two rows, one side from the salt delivery team, and no one disturbed the other.

Hard work all the way.

Li Shimin and the others finally arrived at Li Ke's site around noon.

From a distance, Li Shimin and all the ministers were stunned.

Yes, there was indeed a green scene ahead, completely different from the withered scene on the hillsides when they came just now.

Yes, even the grass is dry on those hillsides.

But after walking here, I saw a green ahead.This looks amazing.

Li Shimin hurriedly rode up and ran up, and everyone hurriedly followed.

Li Shimin came to a corn field and looked at the large corn in front of him with a confused expression on his face.

Yes, a piece of green, this is the cornfield.

But what is this kind of thing?Can anyone tmd tell me what kind of stuff this is?

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji next to him, and asked with a gloomy face, "Auxiliary machine, what is this?"

Yes, Li Shimin was quite depressed.Looking at Changsun Wuji's eyes is even more unkind.

He has now confirmed that this piece of land must be irrigated with water, otherwise, these plants would not be able to grow so well.

So now, he doesn't want to give Changsun Wuji any good looks.

In addition, he didn't know what was in front of him, so he felt even more depressed.

Changsun Wuji saw that Li Shimin was in a bad mood, so he followed Li Shimin's mood and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, what is this?"

Wei Zheng beside him said very frankly: "Your Majesty, this is a kind of plant."

"I……"

Li Shimin glared at him angrily, jumped off the horse, and walked towards the cornfield.

Yes, it seems that it is useless to ask these idiots, I can only go and see for myself.

A group of people quickly dismounted and followed.

Li Shimin walked into the corn field and soon found the fruit on the corn tree.
